In the kitchen, smoke curled upward.
After writing a few more calligraphy pieces, Yi Feng cleared the stone table and went into the kitchen to help Yun Yaoyao prepare the meal.
Everything Yun Yaoyao had bought was meat.
Because of the Red Moon, seasonal vegetables in the small town had become extremely rare, so Yun Yaoyao couldn't buy any.
Yi Feng didn't mind. He cooked a dish of sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
After a period of busy work, Yun Yaoyao brought out a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and two bowls of wontons, placing them on the stone table.
Then, she set out the bowls and chopsticks, washed the wok, and finally came over to sit down at the stone table.
The gloomy sky did not affect their appetites.
They chewed slowly and carefully, savoring the dishes they had each made.
After filling his stomach, Yi Feng let out a burp.
He stood up, smiling faintly with a sense of satisfaction. "Some people are playing chess at the entrance of the town. I'll go play a couple of games with them. I'll leave the cleaning up to you."
"It's no trouble. This is all within Yaoyao's duties..."
Yi Feng nodded slightly, clasped his hands behind his back, and strolled leisurely out of the courtyard.
The following days were just as leisurely as this one.
When he had nothing to do, Yi Feng would practice calligraphy, cook some dishes, and occasionally have a few sips of wine.
Later, feeling that drinking alone was boring, he asked Yun Yaoyao to drink with him.
Seeing Yun Yaoyao's small face flush red from drinking, a sense of joy couldn't help but well up in Yi Feng's heart.
To Yi Feng, he didn't treat Yun Yaoyao as a servant, but rather as an old friend.
Yun Yaoyao had served him for all these years, and Yi Feng saw and appreciated it all.
Days passed by one by one.
Darkness continued to shroud this land.
Another day.
Yi Feng and Yun Yaoyao were sitting by the stone table eating.
Knock, knock, knock...
The door of the courtyard was knocked.
The visitor found that the courtyard door wasn't closed, only left ajar, so they pushed it open a little further.
Yi Feng looked up. The visitor was their next-door neighbor, the bearded Uncle Wang.
"Uncle Wang! Have you eaten? Come in and take a seat!" Yi Feng stood up and welcomed him warmly.
Hearing this, the bearded uncle grinned and walked into the courtyard, carrying about ten catties of wild boar ribs.
"Young Master Yi, this is a wild boar that my wife's uncle hunted in the mountains. This is good stuff. I brought this for you two to eat!"
Uncle Wang smiled very honestly. As he spoke, he handed the wild boar meat to Yi Feng, who had come forward to greet him.
Hearing this, Yun Yaoyao's pretty face instantly flushed completely red.
In the eyes of these town residents, Yi Feng and Yun Yaoyao were a young married couple.
The young couple was a perfect match of a talented man and a beautiful woman. The residents took good care of this young couple who had just settled in the town.
Yi Feng didn't explain much, nor was he excessively polite. He directly took the pork.
"Then thank you, Uncle Wang. There is still some food in the pot. Sit down and eat with us!"
Uncle Wang waved his hand and said, "No, no, we've already cooked at home. Another day, I'll have my wife make some more so you can taste her cooking."
He smiled, took the meat, and thanked his neighbor.
After spending these days together, Yi Feng's relationship with the town residents had become increasingly familiar.
When he was free, he would play chess with a few old men at the town entrance, and occasionally go fishing.
He would also share the fish he caught with his neighbors.
One day.
Gongs and drums were beaten in the town, presenting a scene of great joy and jubilation.
Yi Feng was a bit puzzled.
This day was not a solar term festival, and the end of the year was still months away.
Such a grand display was undoubtedly a joyous occasion.
Yi Feng went out of the courtyard gate and saw that the neighbor aunt next door was also watching the excitement.
He walked over to the aunt and asked what was going on.
"The son of the Niu family in town has been tested to have an incredible talent. He has been selected to join the Canghai Sect and has become an outer sect disciple. This is a great event for our town!"
"That's someone who can cultivate! With such an outstanding young man emerging from our town, the whole town shares in the glory!"
Only then did Yi Feng understand the reason for the town residents' celebration.
That was indeed a joyous event!
The old man of the Niu family was a chess friend of Yi Feng, and Yi Feng was also happy for him.
The aunt continued, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to prepare some gifts. I still have to go to the Niu family to offer my congratulations later!"
Seeing this, Yi Feng said, "Auntie, wait for me a moment. I'll also go back and prepare, and we can go to the Niu family together to congratulate them."
The aunt smiled, "You really know how to handle things, young man. Let me know when you're ready, and we'll go over together."
In fact, when it came to giving gifts, no one in this simple and honest place had any intention of currying favor.
It was always like this when a family had a happy event.
And when a family was in trouble, no one would stand by and do nothing.
Yi Feng returned to the courtyard and took out a completely ordinary iron sword from his Sea of Consciousness world.
Yun Yaoyao had sharp senses and naturally heard the conversation between Yi Feng and the neighbor aunt.
She asked in confusion, "Master, since it's a congratulatory gift, why not give a better sword? The sword in your hand right now is only slightly better than mortal iron..."
To Yun Yaoyao, Yi Feng's divine weapons were as numerous as the hairs on a cow.
Giving such a crude iron sword was truly beneath his status.
Yi Feng shook his head slightly and said indifferently, "An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. Giving him a good sword would only bring him unnecessary trouble."
Yun Yaoyao suddenly understood.
It wasn't that Yun Yaoyao wasn't careful enough.
It was because at Yun Yaoyao's current realm, she rarely had opponents in the starry sky.
Therefore, her way of thinking was naturally affected.
Sometimes, having too high of a perspective wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Afterward, Yi Feng went next door to call the aunt and her family.
The group went together to the Niu family to offer their congratulations.
Along the way, there was an endless stream of residents bringing gifts.
The Niu family did not neglect anyone.
The younger generation of the Niu family had a large red flower tied to his chest, standing at the door with a beaming smile to welcome the residents who came to congratulate him.
"Second Aunt, please sit, please sit."
"Oh my, Seventh Granduncle, you're here too! Please come inside."
The Niu family had already prepared wine and drinks, greeting everyone to take their seats one by one. Although it was just simple food and tea, everyone was overflowing with joy.
The neighbor aunt was very simple and honest; her family gifted half a wild boar.
Most of the other town residents also gave daily necessities.
Only Yi Feng gave a weapon.
Yi Feng presented the ordinary-looking iron sword.
The young man of the Niu family was pleasantly surprised.
He quickly examined the iron sword, gently stroking the blade with great care.
He could tell that this iron sword was somewhat special; its texture was not something ordinary iron swords could compare with. To him, this was a rare and excellent sword.
He thanked him repeatedly, while Yi Feng just calmly told him there was no need to be polite.
The old man of the Niu family quickly came forward and personally led Yi Feng into the courtyard.
Several old men who often played chess together saw Yi Feng and all showed expressions of joy.
"Young Master Yi, sit here, sit here!"
The old man of the Niu family laughed, "What's the rush? I was just about to arrange for Young Master Yi to sit next to you guys!"
The old men joked and laughed. Yi Feng also wore a smile as he lifted his robe and took his seat.
Seeing how popular Yi Feng was, the neighbor aunt also revealed a gratified smile.
After all, Yi Feng was an outsider and hadn't been in town for very long.
But she always felt that this young man was not only handsome but also possessed an innate affinity.
