"Miss, please wake up." a man's voice called out.
Leng Qiyue slowly opened her eyes and saw a man in his fifties squatting in front of her. From his clothes, he looked like a hunter and he was carrying two wild rabbits on his back.
"Uncle, what is this place?" Leng Qiyue asked as she sat up, enduring the pain coming from her body.
Seeing that she had woken up, the uncle felt relieved and said, "I say, girl, you..." How did you fall from the sky? He was still tied up? Oh, this is the foot of the Long White Mountains. "
It fell from the sky? Oh, I fell off a cliff. No wonder my body was in such pain. How should I explain this to this uncle? Not as good as... Let's make it up!
Uncle, a celestial being in heaven was taken down to the mortal world due to some small mistake, but now his magic power has been completely lost and he's homeless, wuu … …" Leng Qiyue covered her face with her sleeve as she secretly looked at the uncle's expression while she pretended to cry.
In the ancient times, people were simple and easy to deceive. The uncle said with a pampered expression, "Girl, why don't you come home with me. My home isn't too far from there, recently, if my old woman is not well, I can hunt some prey for her and sell her medicine if I have you to take care of her at home. "If not for you being a girl in this desolate mountain range …"
"Alright, alright, I'm willing to follow uncle home, I'm willing to take care of aunt." Leng Qiyue forgot the pain in her body and immediately jumped. Now, she had finally met a normal person.
Just like this, Leng Qiyue found a place to settle down. Uncle's home was really close, there were a lot of things that he hadn't asked yet.
"Old woman, I'm back." The uncle put down the hare and went into the house. It was a very simple thatched cottage. There were a few chickens in the small yard, but there was nothing else. It seemed that Uncle's family was quite poor.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Old man, you're back. Cough, cough, cough … Ai, this disease of mine is most likely not going to be able to be cured. When I die, you must have another child! I've already delayed you for so many years, sigh! "
"Old woman, what are you saying? If you die, I'll go with you. We in the underworld can reunite as husband and wife. Hehe, in my entire life, I've thought of you as the only one." Live well if you don't want me to be a ghost too, I'll make some medicine later … Aiya! Look at my head, girl, come in. Uncle finally remembered Leng Qiyue, who was standing outside. He ran over to invite her into the house.
"Hello Aunt, my name is Leng Qiyue." He looked at the woman lying on the wooden bed as if she had been sick for a long time.
"Eh? Old man, how did you find the string so quickly? I'm still a little girl, and at most I'm not older than sixteen. Isn't I too young? "
"Hey, old woman, what are you talking about? I'm a fairy. I already said that I wouldn't continue, but you just don't believe me. "
"Fairy? No wonder you're dressed so strangely, girl. Are you really a fairy? "Cough, cough, cough …"
Leng Qiyue looked at her own Tang suit and found that it was indeed different from theirs. It was made by her mother after a month of searching for information! I'll go back and tell Mom I'm out of date.
"Auntie, I'm a little deity from the heavens. Because I broke a precious vase, I was demoted to the mortal world. Now, I no longer have any mana. Auntie … "You don't disagree, do you?" Leng Qiyue asked probingly.
Hearing this, the aunt actually smiled gently and said, "Miss, cough cough cough …" How could I not agree? Your uncle and I have been married for so many years without any children, and now with you accompanying me, I have to thank the heavens. You... "Cough, cough, cough …"
The sensible Leng Qiyue immediately walked forward and lightly patted her aunt's back and asked, "Auntie, how long have you been coughing?"
The aunt suppressed her coughing and said, "I had this problem even before my marriage with your uncle. Your uncle didn't mind marrying me because I had this problem. That's why I couldn't have a child and a woman. Ai …"
Leng Qiyue saw that her aunt was very apologetic towards her uncle, and couldn't help but to be envious of them. This kind of relationship was really good. If she could have someone like uncle to treat her well, then she would definitely not let them go. Fortunately, he had been a volunteer at the Red Cross for two years, so he could tell the symptoms. This auntie probably had pneumonia when she was young, or her lungs had been damaged from choking on water.
"Aunt, how did you burn this root of the disease?" Leng Qiyue asked.
The aunt took a deep breath and said, "My mother said I had a very bad fever when I was a child. Then an old monk gave me a pill and gave me a fever, but left me with this disease." That's right, that old monk once said that if I were thirty-six years old, I would be able to meet someone who could cure my illness! Young lady, young lady, I am just thirty-six years old this year and you are a fairy.
Leng Qiyue's eyeballs turned and knelt on the ground, "Please accept our daughter's bow!" Looking at the stupefied uncle, she continued, "I have no one to rely on right now. I beg uncle to accept this daughter of mine, you guys don't want me?"
The aunt first came back to her senses, then she said with a wail and a smile, "I want..." To... How could we not have such a good daughter! The child, quickly get up. Old man, quickly help the child! "
"Hey, hey, child, wake up, hurry and wake up. Hehe, old woman, we have an heir, hehe." The uncle was grinning from ear to ear.
Leng Qiyue bowed and said, "May I ask Father and Mother's names?"
The old man slapped his forehead and said, "I'm glad I forgot. My name is Leng Gang and your mother is Bai Lan. Our ancestors all came from the mountains and lived on the White Mountain. There's a small town down the hill, and after I go hunting I go down there and get some salt rice or something. You are also surnamed Leng, what a coincidence, thank god … "AHH!" "Oh yeah, I'll go cook. My good daughter will accompany your mother first.
The uncle smiled like a flower as he carried the hare out, while Leng Qiyue sat beside the aunt chatty and casual. She was very happy, at least she didn't have to worry about food and clothing in the ancient times, and now she also had her parents' identity.
After chatting for an unknown amount of time, Uncle brought in a pot of stewed rabbit meat. That smell! Seeing that Leng Qiyue was almost drooling as she hurriedly called her over to eat, Leng Qiyue first helped her auntie sit at the table and waited for uncle to sit down before sitting down. Although it was just a small courtesy, it made the old couple feel very touched. They looked at each other and smiled with gratification.
"Father eats, Mother eats." Leng Qiyue gave each of them a piece of rabbit meat.
The aunt and uncle nodded together and said, "Alright, alright, alright!"
While eating, Leng Qiyue asked, "Father, what is the date?"
The old man lowered his voice and said, "It's the 32nd year of the dynasty, why are you asking this?"
Leng Qiyue's eyes opened wide for a long while before she shouted, "What?! Thirty-two years in court? "Riding in the air —"
