Chapter 4580

Walking along the ridge of the field was an old farmer in his sixties.

The old farmer wore a short shirt and held a pipe in his left hand and an oil lamp in his right. The old farmer's back was bent, but his footsteps were still hale and hearty!

"Oh, so it's a young man!"

Seeing that Xiao Hua was only in his twenties and was handsome with an indescribable temperament, the old farmer couldn't help but feel close to him. He smiled and asked, "It's already so late, why don't you hurry and find a place to stay?

What's the use of looking at the rice in this field? "

"Hehe, this is your field, right?" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "Congratulations, this year is another bumper harvest!"

When the old farmer heard this, he couldn't help but show a sense of pride. However, there was also a hint of bitterness in his pride. He said casually, "Sigh, it's nothing. I just collected three to five more bushels!"

"Three to five bushels?"

Xiao Hua smiled and looked at the paddy field nearby. He said, "I see that the paddy fields nearby are all growing well. How could it be that you only collected three to five bushels?"

"Young man, you also know farm work?"

The old farmer was already close. He stopped and asked curiously, "You have such soft skin and tender flesh, you should be a student!"

Xiao Hua smiled and nodded. "You're right, I am a student. However, I was born in a farmer's family and I have farmed since I was young. I know everything about farming!"

Xiao Hua unconsciously raised his head and looked at the hazy starry sky in the distance. The memories that he had picked up before entering Xingyue Palace slowly flowed out.

"Sigh …" When the old farmer heard this, he sighed and said, "I understand!

You students have it the hardest. When you were young, you had to read books by oil lamps. When you grew up, you had to travel. After traveling, you had to leave your parents to continue your studies.

Young man, you probably haven't been home for a long time, right? "

"I won't hide it from you!" Xiao Hua nodded and said, "It's been a long time!

It's been so long that I can't even find my way home!

When I think of this, I feel that I'm unfilial! "

"It's alright!"

The old farmer smiled and said, "Although there's no road under your feet, you still miss home. You can't be considered unfilial!

After all, young people had to go out and explore. If there was a chance in the future, they would go back and take a look.

We don't want you to have any glory or wealth, nor do we want you to be promoted. As long as you are safe and sound, Father and Mother will be happy! "

The old farmer's words were really simple. In Xiao Hua's ears, his words were even more useful than Xu Zhi's immortal profound. His eyes were already somewhat misty!

Although cultivation allowed Xiao Hua's divine abilities to reach the heavens, his heart … in the end, couldn't leave the ground!

"You must be tired, young man!"

Seeing that Xiao Hua didn't speak, the old farmer pointed to a small shed in front of him and said, "Come with me to rest there.

It's already late at night, and everyone in the village is resting. Why don't you stay with me for the night? There's still some porridge in my shed that my son delivered last night. I'm afraid it's still warm. Drink some to warm your stomach first! "

Xiao Hua originally wanted to refuse. How could he have the time to dawdle with an old man from the countryside? However, he really didn't dare to disappoint the old farmer's hospitality. After pondering for a bit, he bowed and said, "Deference is no substitute for obedience. This young one thanks the elder's good intentions!"

"Haha, let's go. Don't haggle over words with me!

If we talk for a bit longer, the elegant words I learned from others will all be gone! "

The old man smiled and wanted to raise his hand to pat Xiao Hua's shoulder. However, looking at Xiao Hua's bright clothes, he didn't dare to raise his hand. As he spoke, he led Xiao Hua to a place in the field.

At the end of the field, there was a small shed. Below the shed, there were five or six wooden pillars inserted into the field. A few feet away from the field, there were some wooden planks that were used to set up seats.

In the other direction of the shed, there were also some fields. However, instead of rice, there were some faint green leaves. Those leaves rustled in the breeze like music.

On the wooden planks of the shed, there were some bedding and some dried straw. Among the straw, there was a pitch-black jar that was about a foot in size. The jar wasn't tightly covered, and the smell of the bedding mixed with the fragrance of rice gushed out of the jar. Xiao Hua couldn't help but frown.

"Elder …" Xiao Hua hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I still have some things to do …"

"Haha …" As soon as he saw Xiao Hua frown, how could the old man not know what Xiao Hua was thinking? He laughed loudly and said, "Young man, don't be anxious, don't be anxious.

You scholars are all from the lower realm. How could I let you feel wronged and sleep on my bedding … "

As he spoke, the old man nimbly jumped onto the wooden planks and kicked the messy bedding to the edge of the field. He then fiddled with the dried straw a bit and took out some paper from one side of the shed. He smiled and said, "The night isn't particularly cold. You can put up with it. This paper is enough to block the wind …"

Xiao Hua smiled and still waved his hand and said, "No need, Elder …"

The old man acted as if he didn't hear him. He touched the jar with his hand and was somewhat worried. He then looked at the other side of the straw shed. He seemed to be whispering, but also seemed to be discussing with Xiao Hua, "This porridge isn't cold yet. There's no need to heat it up. However, I don't have any more bowls and chopsticks here. I have to go wash them!

It's a pity that the melons in this field … aren't ripe yet. Otherwise, eating a melon wouldn't be bad!

Hmm, I'll go wash the bowls and chopsticks … "

As he spoke, the old man took off the lid that covered the jar. It was a somewhat shabby porcelain bowl. He looked at the paddy field not far away and then looked further away. It seemed like he was thinking about where to wash it.

It seemed like the paddy field was the place where the old man washed the porcelain bowl. However, the water in the paddy field was clearly somewhat dirty. He wanted to go to a place with a clean water source to clean it.

Xiao Hua originally wanted to stop him. However, he changed his mind and put down his raised hand. Meeting was fate. He didn't mind giving this honest old man or his family some opportunities.

"Young man, wait a moment …" Sure enough, the old man said somewhat awkwardly, "I'll go wash the bowls and chopsticks for you …"

"Thank you, Elder!" Xiao Hua smiled and nodded.

Seeing that Xiao Hua was no longer polite, the old man was also happy. Just as the old man was about to leave, Xiao Hua suddenly frowned. He raised his eyes and looked at a corner of the night sky. It seemed like something had happened there!

"Damn it …" Xiao Hua suddenly cursed in a low voice. With a flick of his finger, several golden threads fell into the void and disappeared.

Then, Xiao Hua said to the old man, "Elder, there's no need to be so troublesome.

When this young man passed by the village in front, he already ate some things.

Right now, I'm not hungry. Moreover, this young man also brought some jujubes with him. Come, come, Elder, you should also have a taste … "

As he spoke, Xiao Hua reached into his bosom to take some jujubes.

The old man laughed and immediately exposed Xiao Hua's lie, "Young man, don't try to deceive this old man.

If you ate at Jiu Zhao Village at night, how could they let you out?

No matter what, they would have to let you stay for a night. My Xiao Empire's people have an unwritten rule. As long as they meet a wandering disaster victim, they must do their best to help, not to mention a traveling scholar like you! "

"Xiao Empire?" Xiao Hua was stunned and asked curiously, "Which Xiao Empire?

It's the Fiendgod Blood Pool … "

Speaking up to here, Xiao Hua first laughed. This old man was a country bumpkin, how could he know about the Fiendgod Blood Pool?

Unexpectedly, the old man actually answered and said proudly, "Naturally, after the Fiendgod Blood Pool disappeared, Daoist Xiao spread the good seeds and created the Xiao Empire!

Young man, don't tell me you don't know Yan Province's most famous Xiao Empire! "

"Sigh …" Xiao Hua sighed and replied, "Elder, you don't know. Actually, this young man is lost and doesn't know where he is going …"

"Hehe, it's about the same as what this old man thought. If you didn't get lost, how could a scholar without the strength to truss a chicken walk alone at night?

You should rest at this old man's place for a night. Tomorrow, I'll let my eldest child help you find a book boy! "

The old man laughed very honestly. Although he already had some doubts, he didn't say it until now. Obviously, he was protecting a scholar's self-esteem.

Xiao Hua's heart warmed. He hurriedly took out a handful of spirit dates from his bosom and said, "Elder, you really don't need to wash the dishes!

This young man met a senior a few days ago. He gave this young man some immortal dates. If you don't believe me, you can try it. Just eat one and you won't be hungry for a day! "

"Fresh dates?

How can there be any fresh dates at this time!

Oh, oh, immortal … immortal dates! "

The old man first thought that Xiao Hua didn't want to trouble him, but then he realized. When the fragrance of the immortal dates floated over, he couldn't help but be startled. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young man, this kind of immortal item … you, you should carefully keep it!

Don't take it out so easily. It will bring disaster! "

"It's fine, it's fine!"

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "This young man has always been careful. If it wasn't for elder's concern for this young man, this young man wouldn't dare to take it out …"

As he spoke, Xiao Hua walked to the front of the shed, stepped on the wooden plank and sat down cross-legged. He raised his hand and said, "Elder, come and try it …"

"Hehe, okay!"

The old man didn't hold back and agreed. He stepped into the paddy field and washed the porcelain bowl and chopsticks that still had some rice grains in it. He then walked back with a smile.

After putting away the bowl and chopsticks, the old man sat on the wooden plank of the shed. His feet that were dripping with mud dangled outside the plank.

The old man sat down and carefully picked up a spirit date from Xiao Hua's hand. He smelled it and gently bit a small crescent moon with his teeth. Then, he chewed it a few times.

The old man didn't bite much, so how could he chew it?

However, the fragrance still filled his mouth and nose, and a warm current flowed into his throat.

"It … it really is an immortal item …" The old man's eyes were filled with surprise. He carefully put the spirit date that he bit a bit into his bosom.

Needless to say, the old man took the spirit date and naturally left it for his family. Xiao Hua didn't ask him if it was for his wife, his children, or his grandchildren. He simply put all the dates in his hands on the wooden plank and said with a smile, "Elder, you can eat it yourself. There are still so many here. You can take them all!"
