I just want to live well but I surpass the protagonist.

The moment their eyes met, the owner of the eyes in the room was so frightened that he backed away. Then there was a banging sound inside. Maybe he was too nervous and knocked something down.

The village chief who had not left heard the noise at this time: "I'm sorry, immortal, there is a poor child living inside. Her name is Su'er. Her parents died when she was young. She grew up eating a lot of food from hundreds of families. Her character is kind, but she is timid. , afraid of outsiders.”

"It doesn't matter." Ye Yong waved his hand, it was her he was looking for.

The village chief did not dare to get involved in the affairs of the immortal cultivators, and did not even want to know what the treasure Ye Yong was talking about was, so he quickly went about his own business.

Ye Yong walked to the somewhat broken wooden door and knocked lightly. There was silence inside, as if the sound just now had never been made.

"Don't worry, girl, we won't hurt you, we just want to discuss something with you."

After a while, a crisp voice came from inside: "Xian, the masters of the Xian family have spoken seriously. Su'er does not have the ability to discuss with the adults."

"Anyway, let's talk about it after opening the door, okay?"

There was another moment of silence, the wooden door slowly opened a crack, and the footsteps inside quickly moved away.

Ye Yong pushed the door open and went in. There was almost no furniture except an old table and chairs. Sunlight shone through several holes in the roof. The kitchen utensils on the old stove were shiny. The house was simple but neat and clean.

Opposite the door is a bed made of piled firewood, covered with some linen cloth, and a small human figure curled up in the quilt above.

Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou looked around with curiosity. They were both daughters of aristocratic families. Mortal residences of this level only existed in stories. Seeing them with their own eyes gave them a different feeling in their hearts.

Is it really possible to live a good life living here? It must be very uncomfortable when it rains and snows, right?

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything at home to entertain the immortal family." One eye was exposed under the quilt, and he quickly hid it again.

"It's okay." Ye Yong closed the door and set up an isolation formation to prevent the outside from seeing and hearing inside. Then he took out four valuable spirit wood grain chairs and tea tables from the storage ring.

The girl couldn't understand Ye Yong's intention. Seeing this posture, she couldn't help but become a little scared: "Please, did Su'er do something wrong?"

"No, no, I just want to chat with you, come out." Ye Yong motioned Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou to sit down, then took out some pastries and placed them on the table.

The girl did not dare to refuse the immortal cultivator's invitation. She emerged from the quilt timidly, got out of bed carefully, looked at the floor, moved slowly, and stood a little far away from the table and chairs.

She didn't look bad, but her complexion was a little sallow, and she wore clothes that were a few sizes too big with lots of patches. She was thin and typical of malnutrition. The villagers did not abuse her, and Ye Yong also knew the reason for this. The girl is very sensible and is afraid of causing trouble to others. After the age of 10, she no longer goes to the villagers to eat. Instead, she goes to the mountains and forests to pick mushrooms and fruits, and fishes in the river to make a living by herself.

The pastry exuded an alluring aroma, filling the whole room. The girl swallowed secretly, but still stood and lowered her head, not daring to get too close.

"If we wanted to harm you, we would have done it a long time ago. We were afraid of ghosts." Liang Xiaorou pulled the girl over, pressed her onto a chair, and placed several plates of pastries in front of her: "Eat."

"Please, what do you want to talk to Su'er about?" The girl clasped her little hands tightly and was very restrained.

This made Liang Xiaorou couldn't help but look at her a few more times. She was young and had a good temperament. Unfortunately, when she pulled her in just now, Liang Xiaorou discovered that she was not a material for cultivating immortals. Otherwise, with this determined attitude, she would still be very likely to achieve great achievements. of.

"Do you have a piece of stone?" Ye Yong didn't mince words. The heroines already had a good impression and wouldn't ask questions. The girl in front of him was also in awe of the immortal cultivators and wouldn't say anything nonsense.

"How did Master Xianjia know? No, it was precisely because Master Xianjia knew it." The girl said as she took out a smooth stone piece from her arms.

This is her father's relic. It is said that he found it in the back mountain when he was young. He originally wanted to take it to an auction house in the city for auction, but it turned out to be a very ordinary stone, so he kept it at home as an ornamental object.

After her parents passed away, nothing was left behind. In order to remember them, the girl took the stone pieces with her.

"Excuse me, Master Xianjia, is this a treasure?" The girl suddenly clutched the stone piece tightly, fearing that her father's things would be taken away.

"It's not a treasure, it's just a key at most." Ye Yong said softly: "We need it to open an ancient cave. How about returning it to you after opening it?"

The tone was not a command, but a tone of discussion, and the girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Yong is very different from the monks she heard about. Maybe this is the real immortal?

The girl secretly raised her eyes to look at Ye Yong, and immediately lowered her head shyly: "If Master Xian wants it, of course Su'er will give it to him."

Liang Xiaorou felt that this didn't sound right: "You're talking about stone flakes, right? It's stone flakes, right?"

"Huh? If it's not a piece of stone, what else could it be?" The girl was quite puzzled.

"No." Liang Xiaorou changed the subject: "How old are you this year?"

"Sir, Su'er is already 15."

"Actually 15? It doesn't look like it. It's too young."

The girl looked at Xianjia, who was about the same age as herself, but had a cuter face with a little more flesh than her own, and felt that he was very strange.

"Anyway, let us borrow the stone flakes first, and these pastries will be used as expenses." Ye Yongdao.

"No, no, no, Master Xianjia, as long as you can return it, that's enough. Su'er doesn't need..."

"Gu~" At this time, there was a whine in the stomach, and the girl stopped talking.

"Eat quickly. Anyway, for your safety, we will not give you any property. We will only give you things that will be gone after eating. Accept them with peace of mind." Liang Xiaorou felt a little sorry for the girl. Although 15 years old is not too young, compared to what she had seen Those young masters and ladies here are really too sensible.

"I, I can't finish it by myself, so I'll share it with everyone in the village." The girl still refused to do anything.

Liang Xiaorou was so anxious that she wanted to stuff it directly into her mouth, but Qin Shimeng stopped her.

"Shi Meng, what are you doing? If you really want to share it with the people in the village, it won't be enough, right? Maybe she won't even be able to eat a piece."

"Gratitude is a good quality. This is her thing and should be her own decision." Qin Shimeng shook her head.

Liang Xiaorou couldn't refute for a while.

Ye Yong didn't say anything, he just took the stone flakes handed over by the girl respectfully, and silently took out a few more plates of cakes. Some ordinary food, not worth a lot of money. At worst, he would come back later after getting the opportunity, and give the girl something else.

After a brief contact, Ye Yong was still very satisfied with the girl's performance. As described in the novel, she was sensible, measured, and capable of repaying kindness. It is precisely the fact that such a well-behaved girl is brutally killed by the pursuers in the novel that can arouse the anger of readers and ignite the protagonist's breaking point. When killing the pursuers, it increases the pleasure of the readers and gives them a sense of relief in avenging the girl.

In the novel, Ye Yong thought it was nothing. After all, it was a writing technique. But when he met such a girl in reality, he just felt that God was very unfair. Why did the good guy who helped the protagonist have to end up like this?
