Chapter 869 Return to Zhiling District
After saying goodbye to Xu Lixue, Lu Ping and his group left the Happy Forest. After passing through the three-in-one area of Baozhilin, they stepped back into the territory of the Xuanjun Empire. Then they headed south, and the few magic weapons in their hands were still very eye-catching, but they finally had nothing to do all the way. In a few days, they returned to the village near Zhiling City. The few people rushed to the abandoned courtyard where they were temporarily staying that day. After entering the door, everyone was stunned.
The abandoned cottage, which was originally so simple that there was only one ragged straw mat, looked quite regular at this time. The dust was everywhere disappeared, and the ragged straw mat was replaced with a clean bedding, and a few cups and bowls were piled on a wooden table that was not originally available.
The furnishings were still simple, but they looked like someone living here. Several people looked at each other. Before they could discuss, they heard footsteps behind them. When they turned around, they saw Chu Min walking in from outside the yard with a few pots of wine. Seeing several people, they did not show any unexpected expressions or smiles. Instead, they frowned and said, "I've just returned?"
"Talent?" Morin was a little dissatisfied.
"The order Xuan Emperor to revoke the wanted order has been passed over long ago, but you are late." Chu Min said.
"I was injured, so I delayed for a few days." Su Tang stood up and said.
"It's fine." Chu Min looked at Su Tang and finally smiled.
"Yeah." Su Tang nodded, and everyone laughed. They didn't have much expectations, they just wanted to be at peace with each other. Therefore, their reunion did not seem very excited, but everyone's smile was full of peace and satisfaction.
"Teacher, are you fine with your injuries?" Ling Ziyan walked forward, skillfully took the wine pots from Chu Min's hand and asked.
"It can't be said that it's completely restored, but it's not a big deal." Chu Min said, her tone was her usual free and easy, good is good, bad is bad, and it doesn't cover it up at all.
"No one is causing trouble for you here, right? If so, tell Lu Ping quickly." Morin said.
"What? This trip to Xuanjun City is very powerful?" Chu Min looked at Lu Ping.
"That's so majestic!" Morin knew that if Lu Ping asked him to answer, he would be very boring. He quickly snatched the conversation and described the scenes he had not experienced or witnessed with his own eyes in vivid detail. From the yard, he kept talking about everyone crowding in the hut and sitting on the ground.
"Happy!" After hearing this, Chu Min did not talk about the pros and cons of doing this at all. She just raised the wine pot and took a big sip.
"Do your best." Lu Ping said, indeed, as Morin expected, a very boring attitude.
"So you are now preparing to go back to Xiafeng City to rebuild Zhaifeng Academy?" Chu Min asked.
"Yes, the teacher wants to be with us?" Lu Ping said.
Chu Min smiled: "Someone asked me this many years ago."
"Is it the dean?" Lu Ping and the others knew that Chu Min and Guo Youdao were old acquaintances, but they had never heard of them talking about how they met and interacted with each other.
"Yes. If I nodded at that time, I would be your senior now." When Chu Min said this, he looked at Fang Yizhu. The title he used was not "you", but "you". When Fang Yizhu heard it, he immediately understood the meaning of Chu Min's words. Chu Min knew the real purpose of Guo Youdao's establishment of Zhaifeng Academy, and was once a person appreciated by Guo Youdao. It's a pity that he did not seem to have received Chu Min's appreciation.
"Why?" Fang Yizhu asked subconsciously.
"It's too troublesome and doesn't fit my aesthetic." Chu Min said.
"Okay..." Fang Yizhu thought for a while and expressed his agreement. He didn't have much contact with Chu Min, but Chu Min's temperament was so clear at a glance. Guo Youdao's request for the secret messenger was indeed very out of place when it came to Chu Min's temperament.
"I haven't eaten yet, right?" Chu Min stood up and said.
"Yeah." Everyone nodded.
"Just eat here." Chu Min said.
"This?" Everyone looked around in confusion. Although there were bowls and chopsticks in the house, it looked like they were at home, but no matter how you looked, it was only enough for one person to use, right?
"I'll borrow some bowls and chopsticks." Chu Min said and went out.
Several people followed her out curiously, and saw that Chu Min had not gone far after she left the hospital, so she went directly to the next yard. She knocked on the door and came out soon. She carried a stack of bowls and chopsticks. A couple in the room kept sending her out of the hospital. The two sides chatted from time to time, looking extremely familiar. Before she was discharged, Chu Min had two more cabbage and a large piece of tofu in her hand.
"How many days have we left?" Morin asked suddenly.
"It's about ten days." Fang Yizhu said.
"Why does it feel like Teacher Chu Min has lived here all his life?" Molin said, and saw Chu Min coming back with the dishes and vegetables.
"Go and make a fire." Chu Min said after entering the yard.
Ling Ziyan seemed to have such daily life when she lived with Chu Min, so she quickly entered the half-decay kitchen in the yard. Soon, smoke from the cooking stove was raised, and the water inside began to gulp. Chu Min didn't use a knife, and she controlled the spirit of energy. Under the command of the four, two cabbages and a large piece of tofu were cut open and flowers were cut open together.
Soon, a pot of cabbage and tofu boiled in white water was served on the table. The color, fragrance, flavor, meaning and shape were not very delicious no matter which one looked.
"Do it yourself." Chu Min signaled.
There was not enough seats at the table, so in the end, one person could only come up to scoop a bowl. But two cabbages and a piece of tofu, so many people seemed to be very insufficient. The couple next door came over again at this time, and thought of this and brought some pickles. Chu Min took out a bag of white flour cakes from somewhere, and everyone ate them.
The house was too narrow, and everyone was squatting in the yard with bowls. The sun was west, and every household in the village was organizing dinner. This was just an ordinary village. The villagers' lives were not very rich, and they were barely able to make a living. No one could afford delicious food. But even so, no matter which direction the smell came from, it smelled much more delicious than everyone's bowl of white water cabbage and tofu.
"Is anyone going to drink?" Chu Min asked, pulling out a wine pot from the house.
"I met again after a long time, it's worth a pot!" Fang Yizhu immediately rushed over and asked for a pot.
"Do you think the food is boring?" Morin despised him.
"After all, I'm not that hero." Fang Yizhu said.
"That's not comparable." Molin was also convinced. The one who could make Chu Min's meal delicious was really Lu Ping. Even Su Tang was a little bit inferior to him.
"It would be great if I could always do this." Lu Ping was also sighing at Su Tang at this time.
Su Tang nodded. She knew what Lu Ping meant. He was not just referring to this meal, but also the ordinary living atmosphere in this ordinary village, which made him feel at ease.
"I hope we can." Su Tang said.
"It's hard, look..." Lu Ping said, pointing outside the courtyard. A man was walking to the gate of the courtyard and stopped. From his clothes alone, he could tell that he was definitely not a villager in this village.
"Lu Ping." The man looked into the courtyard. Seeing Lu Ping looking at him, he said hello casually.
"Who are you?" Lu Ping asked. The person who came was not an ordinary person, and Lu Ping had already heard the sound of the power of the soul.
"Why are you here?" At this moment, Chu Min also looked at the person coming and spoke.
"I heard that you have many guests, so I'll join in the fun. What are you eating?" The visitor said as he walked into the hospital. While asking this, he still looked at Lu Ping and answered his previous question.
"My name is Long Shuo, and I have the final say in Zhiling District."
