Chapter 427.
Chapter 427 – The love is hard to refuse
The fishing boat traveled on the sea for five or six days, and finally docked steadily.
The old Li face a smile, arranged the manpower to share fish, busy for a while before remembering the boat there is a mussel picking girl.
“Right Xu girl, since you’re not from our Blackfish Island, you don’t have a place to go in this Blackfish Island, right? You a little girl is not easy, why don’t you stay at my home, my home is just me and my old partner two people, the place is spacious!”
Xu Chuniang blushed, in fact, her age is only about ten years younger than Lao Li, but because she was mistaken for a clam picker, she was treated as a junior and taken care of all the way.
Her heart is too much, simply intentionally or unintentionally exposed their identity as a cultivator, but also took some spirit wine blended with spirit dew to invite them to drink.
However, after Uncle Li and those fishermen learned that she was a cultivator, they still didn’t take it seriously and took care of her as a junior.
Xu Chuniang wanted to tell them that she wasn’t as weak as she appeared, but she was worried that telling them her true cultivation would scare them.
In the end, she simply refrained from saying anything and made the best of her mistake.
“I’m grateful to Uncle Li for taking care of me on this journey, I’ve caused you a lot of trouble, I don’t dare to intrude any further.”
Old Li’s brows furrowed, revealing the deep and shallow grooves on his face as he opened his mouth without question.
“Say what chatter not chatter, you in this blackfish island is not familiar with life, go to uncle Li’s home to live a few days, to be a period of time when the sea, and then you will piggyback back.
Although you have some cultivation, but this Blackfish Island your first back, there are always many inconveniences.”
Xu Chuniang pushed and refused a few more times, but Old Li arranged the work in his hands and pulled her in the direction of his home.
“Why are you so stubborn, this girl child, or do you think Uncle Li’s house is too shabby and refuse to go and live there?”
When the words came to this point, Xu Chuniang didn’t know how to answer, and only remained silent as she was pulled forward, but somewhere in her heart there was a bit of acidity.
Cultivation world is full of cultivators, but cultivators are often colluding with each other, and they will fight each other for a little bit of benefit.
On the contrary, it was the weak and short-lived mortals who were not afraid to show the slightest kindness to strangers.
Old Li’s house was in an area near the sea, and most of the people living in this area were mortals.
Occasionally, there were one or two cultivators, but they were all like Uncle Li, who was still at the early stage of qi cultivation at his age.
Along the way, from time to time, people smiled and greeted Old Li.
“Old Li is back? How was the harvest this trip?”
“This girl looks so familiar, is she your distant niece, why haven’t I seen her before?”
“Go go go, don’t scare others doll.”
Old Li smiled and waved his hand, shielding Xu Chuniang behind him, leading her through several dilapidated alleys and knocking on the door of the house at the end of the alley.
The one who opened the door was none other than Old Li’s wife, Auntie Li, a mortal with absolutely no spiritual roots, her face even more wrinkled than Old Li’s.
Seeing Old Li return safely, she smiled, the wrinkles on her face deepened, but there was peace of mind between her brows.
“Back ah, this little girl is?”
“It’s the clam picker I brought back from the sea, surname Xu, not from Blackfish Island, come to stay at home for a few days.”
“So ah.”
Aunt Li nodded, smiling as she pulled over Xu Chuniang’s hand, “Come in, it’s just that the house is a bit simple.”
Xu Chuniang felt the rough touch on her hand and shook her head with a smile.
“This is already very good, how could I dislike it?”
She had always not valued external goods, that is, she had lived in a cave in the mountains, and having a piece of tile to cover her body was already very good.
The smile in Aunt Li’s eyes deepened, “If you don’t mind, then it’s good that you don’t mind, you can stay here at ease, treat this place as your own home, I’ll go get you some food.”
Xu Chuniang quickly refused, saying no, but Aunt Li insisted on doing it, turning around and carrying some firewood from the yard into the stove room.
She had no choice but to follow behind, helping Aunt Li with the hands and the fire. She had been used to doing these things since she was a child, and now that she was doing them again, there was a kind of instinctive familiarity.
Looking at the brightly burning embers in the stove fire, Xu Chuniang rarely got a little lost in thought.
The last time I returned home, it was more than thirty years ago …… I don’t know if my mother and mother at home, as well as my brother and sister-in-law and siblings, are still well?
Mortal life has an end, she did not dare to think about it, and hurriedly added firewood to the stove belly.
Auntie Li saw that she will stove fire control extremely well, not stingy praise a few words.
“Looking at the white and clean little girl, I didn’t expect to be a fellow to be crisp and clean, earlier I heard Old Li say that you are a mussel picker and I still don’t believe it, but now it seems to be a bit of a believer.”
Xu Chuniang just smiled and didn’t reply, listening to Aunt Li’s ramblings.
It was only after the two of them had finished the meal that the door to the courtyard was pushed in.
Aunt Li sniffed and looked over, revealing a surprised face, “Yuan’er is back!”
The person who came was a teenager, precisely the one from the old Li family, the son Li Yuan who followed the young master of the Lin family around.
Li Yuan nodded towards his own mother, and was about to ask about his father, when his eyes suddenly fell on the strange woman at the side, and he let out a light “eek”.
“Mother, who is this?”
“This is the mussel picker your father brought back from the sea, staying at our house for some time.”
Hearing that this woman is a clam picker, Li Yuan was a bit disappointed, so it is just a mortal woman.
Seeing that her temperament was not bad and she was wearing a ring on her hand, he thought that she was a cultivator.
But think about it, how would a cultivator sit at the same table with a mortal woman like his mother?
That ring does not look like a storage ring, eighty percent is a decorative mortal.
Li Yuan instantly lost interest in this strange woman, and turned to ask for business.
“Mother, where is my father, is he still not back? I heard that father caught a black fish this time out at sea, is it true?”
“It’s this time of the year, your father should be back soon. He just made a trip back and didn’t say he caught a blackfish.”
Li Yuan frowned, he heard this news from someone else, and after he got the news, he took leave from Young Master Lin Qi to go home in order to get his hands on this fish.
Li Yuan didn’t want this black fish for his own consumption either, but he wanted to offer this fish to young master Lin Qi.
If young master Lin Qi was happy, he would naturally be rewarded.
“I’ll go out to see if father is back yet.”
He was worried that if he went late, father would sell the blackfish.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he was about to head out, Aunt Li looked anxious and followed him a few steps.
“Your father will be back soon, why are you in such a hurry to leave? This meal is still hot, it happens to be the dishes that you loved to eat when you were a child, do you want to eat some before you go?”
Li Yuan swept over the dishes on the table, a slight trace of impatience passed over his face.
These grains and cereals without spiritual qi, eating them would only hinder his cultivation, how many times had he said this, but Mother had advised him to eat them every time.
If the family could provide some spirit food, even if it was just the lowest grade spirit noodles, he wouldn’t mind ah.
But he knows that the family’s spirit stones are not enough just for him to cultivate, so how could there be more to buy spirit food.
“I’ve just eaten the Valley Resisting Pill, I’m not hungry. Let’s go, I’m afraid that if I go slow father will sell the black fish.”
