After dinner, Zheng Zhilan left with a bowl in her hand.

There is no dishwashing sink like in the city in rural areas, so they wash in the large iron pot of the earthen stove and then take it out to clean. Because her eyes are not good, she has to wash them again and again in order to clean them.

Zhou Li couldn't bear it anymore and walked up to her, saying, "I'll help you

Zheng Zhilan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The lamp is an incandescent lamp, suspended from the top with wires. It has a few spider webs on it and emits orange yellow light, revealing the marks of the white porcelain bowl worn over time.

Zheng Zhilan watched him wash beside her.

After finishing, the two of them went to the hall.

Qinghe is sewing clothes while Huaixu watches.

The scene of a twisted and terrifying demon using its claws to thread needles also briefly stunned Zhou Li. Afterwards, afraid of being impolite, he quickly withdrew his gaze and sat down on the bench.

I took out my phone and glanced at it. It took me a lot of time to eat and chat, and before I knew it, it was almost ten o'clock.

Only 3G signal is available.

He saw the WeChat sent by Aunt Jiang, and his WeChat was very empty, only adding his elders.

Aunt Jiang: The West Gate Bridge has been flooded this afternoon. Is it raining heavily over there?

Zhou Li: It's okay, it's great to watch the rain in the mountains.

This 3G is much slower than he imagined, and the message takes two or three turns to be sent out. After thinking for a moment, he replied, 'I will pay attention to safety here, but the scenery is beautiful. I may have to stay a few more days before coming back, don't worry.'.

Then he put away his phone.

Feeling a bit off, Zhou Li turned his head and found Zheng Zhilan staring at him.

Zhou Li:

Zheng Zhilan calmly withdrew her gaze and whispered, "Did you bring toiletries? If not, I have spare ones, they are all new

I brought it

You can take a shower upstairs, there is hot water

Okay, thank you

No need, "Zheng Zhilan yawned with her hand covering her mouth, and then asked Zhou Li," Are the mountains boring

It's quite quiet, pretty good

To be honest, Zhou Li quite likes this kind of environment. He doesn't like playing games or phones himself, but he's not sure if he'll change his mind if he stays here for a long time. Upon reflection, Zheng Zhilan's eyesight is so poor that she doesn't even have a television here. What is her life like?

Zhou Li is a bit confused.

Perhaps it is a world he cannot feel.

Just as I was thinking, suddenly a roar came from the sky, full of energy and deafening.

It seems... right above your head?

Zhou Li couldn't help but look up, then he looked at Zheng Zhilan, but he saw that Zheng Zhilan had a calm expression, as if she had long been accustomed to it, but it also seemed that she had always had this expression.

Does he often do this? "Zhou Li asked curiously.

Occasionally, it's raining today, and he might love playing in the water, "Zheng Zhilan replied." He rarely did this before, always sleeping on the mountaintop. Perhaps it's because more and more demons have awakened in recent years

When did he wake up

More than ten years ago

It's so early! "Huai Xu turned his head and interjected," It's also possible that his strength hasn't fully recovered before, and he's slowly returning to his peak, so he's just having fun

It's possible, "Zheng Zhilan nodded.

Let me take the liberty of asking again - is that him who has wisdom? "Huai Xu still stared at the direction above his head, sensing the moving vortex of spiritual power. This kind of thing that wanders around on his own territory and shouts loudly, he felt that only animals can get it.

Yes, I think so

Have you communicated with him

No

You said he can't speak either

That's right

That's right, he was once wanted by demons or humans, obviously an evil demon, "Huai Xu said." Some of the evil demons are caused by low intelligence and strong instinctive aggression. I don't think this guy is the kind of demon with high intelligence but doesn't take life back seriously

You are also full of starlight, "Zheng Zhilan said.

What kind of starlight? "Zhou Li asked.

There is a mark on the body of a demon, of different colors and sizes, which is equivalent to the name of the demon. When the demon is killed, this mark will attach itself to the perpetrator and help other demons distinguish between good and evil. If there are many, it will be scattered and beautiful, "Huai Xu explained to Zhou." I haven't remembered what I did before, but I'm definitely not an evil demon

That's true. If you were those evil monsters, you would have been killed by the evil gods when you walked into the village

He may indeed have some wisdom, but not high, or possess some ability to distinguish between good and evil

Don't speak ill of him

Okay

Huai Xu continued to turn his head to see and sew clothes.

I saw Qinghe make a move and the thread looked like a centipede's leg, but as he finished sewing and pulled it, all the threads were pulled in from beginning to end, and in the end, there were no visible traces of stitching.

Suddenly Huai Xu???

At this moment, Zheng Zhilan yawned again and looked apologetically at Zhou Li, saying, "Look, I can only explain the basics of cultivation to you tomorrow. I'm not quite clear now. But we can chat. What would you like to eat tomorrow? Do you want boiled lamb, lamb soup, or grilled lamb? I can make both

Zhou Li felt very embarrassed and said, "If you're tired, you can go to sleep first

As soon as he finished speaking, Huai Xu turned his head and looked at him.

Zheng Zhilan was obviously a bit reluctant, but she nodded and said, "Then I'll go wash up first. You can do it yourself. The signal in the mountains may not be very good, you can give it a try

Okay

Zhou Li nodded.

Zheng Zhilan left, and then Qinghe, who had finished sewing clothes, also left. Zhou Li sat and watched the rain outside, gradually feeling a little chilly around him.

One hour later.

Zhou Li stood at the door of the room.

They live on the second floor.

This room should have belonged to Zheng Zhilan's parents or elders before. It was spacious, but obviously no one had lived in it for a long time. Although Zheng Zhilan cleaned it very clean, Zhou Li could still smell a little dust and mold.

Zhou Li didn't mind. He looked at the wooden bed and the nearby bunk bed and said, "I'll sleep on the bunk bed, you can sleep on the bed

No! I sleep on the floor, by the window. If that guy goes crazy late at night, I'll run away

Okay

The lights in the room quickly went out.

Zhou Li noticed that there were also lights in the yard that were on all night, fortunately the curtains had good light insulation.

On a rainy night, the whole world is ringing.

Amidst the noise lies tranquility.

Huai Xu's voice sounded, and what was rare was not coming from Zhou Li's head: "Zhou Li, I really think that girl has some plot against you. Look, she just finished killing chickens and will kill sheep tomorrow

In his opinion, this is a great etiquette.

The kind that entertains uncles.

Zhou Li frowned and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat sheep

That's ridiculous

Don't talk nonsense

I'm very serious, "Huai Xu turned over and stared at Zhou Li with her upper body straight up, as if she were sticking out half of her body from the top bunk at home." I suspect she wants to frame you with delicious food first, and then, she looks pretty good, and step by step, let you fall into her gentle nest

Gentle hometown

Oh, gentle village! Then you married her and stayed in this mountain village from now on! "Huai Xu emphasized," This is not possible, you have to go to college

... go to sleep

I'm serious! Zhou Li, you have to control yourself. Going to college is not a joke

Good night

Suddenly, there was another roar outside.

Huai Xu sighed and began to mutter again, "Oh, is this really... making people sleep? But I think this guy is the real culprit. He must have been a demon who resents and angers people in ancient times. Otherwise, what would he do to be beaten up like that? If he were released, tsk tsk tsk, the consequences would be unimaginable

Zhou Li opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, 'Do you mean...'

Not necessarily

Huai Xu pondered and said, "She may not want to let this demon go out and harm the world, or she may not want him to go out and be discovered again, and then be killed. Of course, it could also be that she has been with that demon for a long time and has feelings for it, simply staying here to accompany and believe in him

Zhou Li remained silent.

Huai Xu's voice rang out again: "Are you not sleeping now? Do you think what I just said makes sense? Those who achieve great things should not fall into the trap of child love

Zhou Li:

Meanwhile, in a room on the first floor.

Qinghe sat silently by the window, he didn't need to sleep, while Zheng Zhilan had been lying in bed for a long time without falling asleep.

She has insomnia, which is rare.

Suddenly, she turned her head and asked, "Qinghe, what does the person in your eyes look like

Qinghe was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, he knew Zheng Zhilan well enough. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My hair is hair by hair, my skin is white, and I have fur on it. I have eyelashes on my eyes, which are beautiful. I have eyebrows and wrinkles on my lips

He is not human, but emits human language through the organs of another organism, and his voice sounds very strange.

Zheng Zhilan listened attentively.

Her eyes are innate. Eighteen years ago, there were very few demons, very few. The whole world in her eyes was blurry. Adults said that when her mother was pregnant with her, she was exposed to radiation in the factory, which caused her to be born partially blind and difficult to give birth. She also thought it was the case.

Until one day, she followed the adults to the temple of evil worship and saw a huge creature dozing off behind the temple.

That monster was ferocious and terrifying, and she also felt it was terrifying.

She shouldn't have had this feeling.

As time passed, she realized a pattern that she could see those extraordinary things very clearly. The more powerful and special the creature, the clearer it becomes in her eyes.
