Chapter Eleven: Liyuan Village
More than a dozen simple mud thatched houses are scattered in an orderly manner in the center of this open area.
The fenced yard made of fir trees surrounded the entire village. It was not too late at this moment. It was dinner time and there were more than a dozen oil lamps in the village.
From the pier of the lotus pond to the village, a stone path made of gravel is connected.
After walking up the pier for more than ten steps, I saw a simple archway. The three common seal characters in the cyan country "Liyuan Village" are written on the archway.
There are more than a dozen vegetable gardens arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the gravel path. It is the peak season for fruits and vegetables in summer, and the vegetable garden is full of vitality.
Taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, I strolled on the gravel path on the moonlit night, and hummed the water town tunes from time to time.
After walking a few steps, Yue Ye suddenly rushed to the side of a vegetable garden. He skillfully drew his sword from the sword bag on his back. He waved the sword casually into the vegetable field, and a ripe fruit and vegetables fell off the vines.
The sword in Yueye's hand sank down again, and the fruits and vegetables fell on the sword.
This series of movements was so skillful that it was obvious that Yueye often picked fruits and vegetables in these vegetable gardens in this way, so ripening can lead to a mastery of this kind of sword technique to grasp this kind of fruit picking sword technique.
Yue Ye took off the fruits and vegetables, then took back the sword, roughly wiped the fruits and vegetables with both hands, and then couldn't wait to put the fruits and vegetables into their mouths and chew them in large mouths.
"Brother Ye! Have you gone to the vegetable garden to steal food again?"
A sweet and coquettish woman's voice suddenly rang in Yue Ye's ears, and Yue Ye was so scared that she dropped the fruits and vegetables that had eaten in her hand on the ground.
Yueye was stunned for a while before he recovered. There was a sweet-looking girl in front of him who was almost the same age as him.
The girl's beautiful eyes were staring at the moonlit night without blinking.
When he was seven years old on the moonlit night, a rare flood occurred in the area of Hechi Ancient Town, which harmed countless people around him.
Yueye's parents were both swallowed by the floods to save Yueye's life, and both died in this natural disaster. Yueye became an orphan and almost died.
Fortunately, Yue Ye was blessed by the sky at such a young age. On the second day after Yue Ye was abandoned in the wilderness, the golfer Gao Ru passed by here. Gao Ru looked at Yue Ye who was already hungry and dying, and suddenly felt pity. So she chose an abandoned thatched hut in the southern suburbs of Hechi Ancient Town to raise Yue Ye.
Gao Ruyi's martial arts man used to travel around the world alone, relying on hunting or assisting the government in doing some errands to make a living, so he lived a comfortable life.
But now that he wants to raise a child, he doesn’t know how to cultivate and breed, so making a living is the top priority.
Gao Ru thought about it and finally decided to wander around the world with the moonlit night.
But at this moment, Mu Sifan's mother came over. It turned out that Mu Sifan's mother Yin Qiushui and Yueye's mother were sworn sisters.
After receiving the news that his sworn sister had unfortunately died in this natural disaster, Yin Qiushui came over from the northern suburbs of Hechi Ancient Town. Seeing that Gao Ru was going to take her young Yue Ye to the world, Yin Qiushui disagreed no matter what.
After a dispute, the two sides reached an agreement. Gao Ru finally settled down and taught Yueye's professional skills to practice swordsmanship, while Gao Ru and Yueye's livelihood was borne by Yin Qiushui.
Although Yue Ye is not good at practicing, he is very grateful.
Since Gao Ru left, no one was restrained on the moonlit night, so he often drove a light boat to catch fish and shrimps in Luanshui to honor Yin Qiushui.
In the past few years, moonlight nights can often be seen appearing in Liyuan Village, and the villagers of Liyuan Village who have been around have become familiar with moonlight nights.
Mu Sifan and Yue Ye grew up together since childhood, and they were not guessed, so the two of them often deliberately quarrel for fun.
"Girl Sifan, why is it so ugly to speak? I just picked fruits and vegetables. I still thought that I was caught by Uncle Wang, which scared your brother Ye to the point of being nervous."
Yue Ye grinned, grabbed the back of his head, and said slowly.
"Brother Ye, what treasure has been sent to my mother? I was just preparing for dinner at home when I heard you singing the war song of Meng Family Army in the lotus pond. My mother went to the kitchen to add dishes and insisted that I come out to greet you,"
Mu Sifan pouted his mouth, deliberately smearing some anger in his tone.
"Hehe, Brother Ye's basket is full of snails."
Yue Ye grimaced at Mu Sifan, then patted the bamboo basket on his shoulder, and showed a hint of pride on his face.
"Well, it's not bad! Brother Ye did not disappoint Sifan this time. This basket of snails is full of snails. Brother Ye has to spend some energy to capture them."
When Mu Sifan heard that the moonlit basket was filled with snails, he was very excited and looked greedy. He couldn't hide his greedy look. He immediately thought that he would have to work hard for at least half a day to get such a big basket of snails. Mu Sifan's inner excitement changed instantly.
"Today, your brother Ye is lucky. He found so many snails in a river. Aunt Yin and Sifan are lucky!"
Yue Ye's tone of speaking still could not hide his smugness, and the smile on his face became much brighter.
"Uh, Sifan is also lucky today! Well, after dinner, I'll show Brother Ye a treasure."
Mu Sifan smiled brightly, and his beautiful face became more and more simple and pleasing to the eye.
After saying the first half of the sentence, Mu Sifan seemed to hesitate slightly, and then a trace of mystery appeared on the corner of her face. Her hands couldn't help but attach themselves to Yue Ye's ear and whispered the next half of the sentence.
"What baby? Look at how happy we Sister Sifan is. Brother Ye is going to be eye-opening today."
Yue Ye stared at Mu Sifan with interest, and replied to Mu Sifan in a calm tone.
As they walked slowly, they were talking and laughing, they had already arrived at the door of a mud thatched hut in the north of the village. The oil lamps in the house flickered and darkened. A middle-aged woman was busy bringing out a plate of dishes from the hut in the backyard to the main hall.
"Ye'er, how come you two are so stubborn? You only have a few steps from the entrance of the village to your home. Look, you two have been away for a while."
The simple middle-aged woman in the main hall was Mu Sifan's mother Yin Qiushui. Yin Qiushui put down the dishes in her hand, looked at Yue Ye and Mu Sifan who had just walked to the door, and scolded the two in a gentle tone.
"Auntie! Ye'er will bring you some snails. Today's luck is good. I caught a full basket in a river channel in Qiandiwan."
Yue Ye took off the bamboo basket on his shoulder and carefully handed it to Yin Qiushui.
Looking at Yue Ye's handsome face, he could easily capture his clear eyes.
Whenever Yin Qiushui saw these clear eyes, he would think of his sworn sister.
I remember the old man and made people look sad.
"Ye'er is so filial, but it's a pity that your uncle doesn't have such a blessing."
Yin Qiushui took the bamboo basket handed over by Yue Ye, and a smile of relief was instantly revealed on her simple face without any concealment. Then she turned around and walked towards the siege.
"Did my uncle go to the dam again?"
Yue Ye looked at Yin Qiushui's back and couldn't help asking.
"Yes! According to the divination observation of local priests, it is said that a heavy rain fell to Luanshui in recent months, and the rainfall may exceed three feet."
Yin Qiushui's voice came from the Piwu. As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Qiushui twisted a diabolic basket and walked out of the Piwu.
"Girl, hurry up and have a meal with your brother Ye. Mom is going to go to your Aunt Fang's house to make sacks."
Yin Qiushui saw that Yueye and Mu Sifan were sitting at the dining table, but they did not want to eat with their chopsticks, so she couldn't help but glared at Mu Sifan.
"Brother Ye, hurry up and eat with chopsticks! If you don't eat again, I'm afraid my mother will eat me."
Mu Sifan handed a pair of chopsticks on the table to Yue Ye, then made a face at Yin Qiushui, and instead picked up some dishes and put them in his bowl.
"Ye'er, it's too late. Don't run back today. Sleeping in your uncle's room is not very peaceful recently. You should try to go into the water to catch fish and shrimp in the future."
Yin Qiushui looked at the moonlight outside the house, and turned his head to look at the moonlight night with a heavy expression.
"Well! Ye'er, please don't you sit down and have some food?"
Yue Ye stood up, took a pair of clean chopsticks in his hand, and handed them to Yin Qiushui.
Yin Qiushui waved his hand and smiled and said, "Ye'er is filial, my aunt is really not hungry." After Yin Qiushui said this, she turned to look at Mu Sifan who was eating and said, "My girl, please clean up after she finished her meal. My mother wants to rush to Aunt Fang's house to sew sacks. These sacks are urgently needed on the Luanshui embankment."
Mu Sifan nodded at Yin Qiushui and said "Oh" and saw Yin Qiushui hurriedly stepping outside.
