616: Chapter 635 Peaceful Days 616: Chapter 635 Peaceful Days Half a day had passed.
Ye Xuan had t each of the villagers of Little Stone Village, and both grandfather and granddaughter had their own jobs, although Zhuo Ma was young, she was nimble and helped in the garnt store of Wang Sangui’s house.
The elderly man’s surna was Zhuo, and he was quite old.
He usually helped out at the blacksmith’s or the carpenter’s shop to sustain daily expenses for himself and his granddaughter, although living sowhat frugally, they delighted in the tranquility and peace.
Days passed one after another, and the villagers of Little Stone Village gradually beca familiar with Ye Xuan.
Whenever so villagers had free ti, they also helped Ye Xuan build a new house.
In fact, with Ye Xuan’s cultivation, under his magical divine skills, constructing a house would take but a mont, and within his Suru Space, there were several palaces of the Heavenly Emperor.
However, Ye Xuan could not possibly do so, because it would be too shocking, and the villagers would certainly treat him as they would an immortal or demon, which was contrary to Ye Xuan’s original intention in staying there.
Fortunately, the villagers of Little Stone Village were very warm-hearted.
With the help of many villagers, a simple dwelling was erected.
It looked sowhat dilapidated, but it was perfectly adequate to shelter them from wind and rain, allowing Ye Xuan to finally settle down in Little Stone Village and officially beco a part of it.
The setting sun cast its last rays, illuminating the mountain village.
The endless stretch of fiery clouds in the sky brightened Little Stone Village with a fiery glow, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace.
Cooking smoke curled up, and children who had been playing by the creek were laughing and returning ho as they passed by the entrance of the village, enthusiastically greeting Ye Xuan, which prompted him to nod and smile in response.
In front of the village entrance, rows of hay stacks stretched endlessly.
Ye Xuan leaned against a haystack, gazing into the distant heaven and earth, just as he had done during his childhood, feeling peaceful and serene as if all the grudges and emotions of the exterior world had dissipated from his mory.
In Ye Xuan’s mory, his most tranquil childhood monts were spent lying on haystacks with his siblings, watching the sun set each day, enjoying those rare peaceful monts.
Seas had turned into mulberry fields and ti flew by.
Over twenty thousand years had passed, and his once siblings were no longer, leaving him, Ye Xuan, as the only one in this world, and this disparity brought a slight haze to his thoughts.
“Big brother Ye, it’s ti to eat.”
Suddenly, a cheerful child’s voice sounded from below the haystack, bringing Ye Xuan back to reality.
Zhuo Ma was smiling below, calling out to him.
“Alright, let’s go ho to eat.”
Ye Xuan pushed himself up from the haystack, jumping down, then affectionately tousled Zhuo Ma’s hair and took her little hand to head back into the village, much like how he used to walk with his sister Ye Ling’er in his younger days.
But ti ages all, landscapes change, kin of old were gone, leaving him alone in this eternal world, unable to return to that innocent age.
Inside the grandchild’s ho.
Two plates of vegetables, three buns, that was the dinner for the grandfather, granddaughter, and Ye Xuan.
They ate in silence, the grandfather and granddaughter along with Ye Xuan quietly had their dinner, though Uncle Zhuo seed to have sothing on his mind today, occasionally glancing at Ye Xuan while eating, and although he opened his mouth several tis, he ultimately did not speak.
“Uncle Zhuo, if you have sothing to say, please feel free.”
Though Ye Xuan appeared young, he had lived over twenty thousand years, clearly perceiving that the elder had sothing to say, prompting him to pause his al and speak softly.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Uncle Zhuo gave an embarrassed smile, yet he had nothing to truly conceal.
“Little Ye, you’ve been in the village for three months now, during these months you’ve occasionally helped everyone with work, and especially helped fill in the household expenses for my granddaughter and , but you’re not getting any younger.
You see, other young n in the village about your age are already married.
I think Li Dazhuang’s daughter is quite suitable, why don’t you…?” Uncle Zhuo trailed off, although he didn’t finish his thought, his intentions were clear, showing concern for Ye Xuan’s life.
“Yes, Big Brother Ye, Sister Li really is nice, she cooks for you every day, even sews and nds clothes for you, perhaps you should marry Sister Li, that way Zhuo Ma would have a sister-in-law.” Little Zhuo Ma said playfully.
Watching the hopeful expressions on their faces, Ye Xuan was montarily stunned, then slowly shook his head, a trace of helplessness crossing his eyes.
“Ah!”
Uncle Zhuo sighed deeply, knowing that Ye Xuan had not consented, surely he did not agree to the marriage proposal.
Indeed, he had spoken up today because Li Dazhuang had secretly sought his opinion, probing Ye Xuan’s intentions.
After all, in the small Stone Village, there were but a few n of so learning like Ye Xuan.
Li Dazhuang really admired Ye Xuan and wanted to marry his daughter to him.
Of course, Miss Li from the Li Family thought very highly of Ye Xuan too.
Although she was not a lady from a prominent family, she could definitely be considered virtuous and modest.
Otherwise, why would she cook and make clothes for Ye Xuan every day?
She clearly favored him greatly.
“Alright, let’s not discuss this matter for now.
Tomorrow is the annual Buddhist Worship Day, the most important day for our Stone Village.
The Buddhist Envoy will personally visit our village to spread the Buddha Light among us.
Ye, since you’ve just settled here, you mustn’t neglect to et the Buddhist Envoy.”
The elder skipped over the topic of Ye Xuan’s marriage and kept reminding him about what he needed to be mindful of the next day until Ye Xuan nodded in agreent.
Only then did they continue with dinner.
Buddhist Worship Day!
It was a festival in the Western Continent, where almost everyone devoutly worshipped Buddha, and over eighty percent of the common folk were followers of the Buddhist Sect.
Naturally, this festival was extrely important, with Buddhist Envoys visiting every village to preside over the celebrations.
Thump—Thump—Thump!
Suddenly, a soft knock on the door was heard, followed by a timid female voice from outside.
“Is Grandpa Zhuo at ho?”
“Heehee!”
Little Zhuo Ma giggled and hurried to open the door.
She even turned back and made a face at Ye Xuan, giggling, “Brother Ye, Sister Li from Li Family has co to see you.”
Creak!
The door was pushed open by the young girl, revealing a girl in patched clothes standing awkwardly outside.
The girl had a tanned complexion, and her black hair was bundled up with a wooden fork.
Though she was not particularly beautiful, she radiated a sunny deanor.
Her face was free of makeup, yet she had a simple beauty.
“Sister Li, are you here to see Brother Ye?” Little Zhuo Ma asked with a giggle.
“Wh…
Not exactly…
I…
I ca to see Grandpa Zhuo,” Li Xiu’er said, her cheeks flushing red as she stole a glance at Ye Xuan, a hint of shyness crossing her eyes.
“Ha ha.”
Uncle Zhuo laughed heartily.
“Xiu’er, co in and let’s talk inside.”
“Grandpa Zhuo, these are so sweet potatoes that my father asked to bring for you.
Please try them while they’re still hot.”
Li Xiu’er spoke as she carried a bamboo basket to the dining table, placing a steaming plate of sweet potatoes on the table.
She then stood there with her hands awkwardly not knowing where to rest them, prompting Uncle Zhuo to chuckle, “Your father is really too polite.”
“Ye…
Brother Ye…
tomorrow is Buddhist Worship Day…
I made this garnt for you overnight.
Please see if it fits.”
Li Xiu’er spoke, thrusting a new linen garnt into Ye Xuan’s hands before quickly turning to walk outside without daring to look at Ye Xuan, her face flushing even redder.
“Grandpa Zhuo, I should head ho now.”
Li Xiu’er had already left, but her slightly shy voice lingered, causing Uncle Zhuo to sigh helplessly.
He even stealthily glanced at Ye Xuan, a hopeful look in his eyes.
“Brother Ye, Sister Li from Li Family has deep feelings for you.
You should marry her.”
Little Zhuo Ma ca up to Ye Xuan, shaking his arm continuously, her big, lively eyes looking at him with expectation.
