Chapter 88 Tour of Four Small Villages with Other Relatives (Seeking Monthly Pass)
(Crying, the extra update is postponed. Xiaojiu is not physically strong enough. After every third update, he will be wasted for two days)
Wang Sanlang's heart became calm, and so did that of Dao Chi.[]
The following years of living in the mountains were more like a vacation for the two brothers. No matter what they had experienced before or what they would encounter in the future, their hearts were calm and peaceful at this moment.
But days like this are torture for Wang Qi.
The last time he accompanied Dao Chi here, he had just met Hu Tou, and the two of them were having fun with each other. They only had two days to go, so they couldn't bear to eat indifferently. After all, there were still those delicacies from the palace to eat;
This time he persisted until the third day when he couldn't hold on anymore.
He followed him shamelessly, and promised that his family would pick him up after seven days, so he could not just go back to the city with his tail between his legs.
But if you let him continue to eat vegetarian food every day, he will go crazy.
For two nights in a row, he woke up hungry in the middle of the night, and his mind was filled with all kinds of food.
Since it's hard to go back to the city, it's okay to go to Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain to get some food, right? He had money with him. When he learned that Hutou's grandfather was the head of the village at the foot of the mountain, Wang Qi's idea became stronger.
On the morning of the fourth day, before breakfast, Wang Qi was holding a bowl of porridge and finally couldn't help but said: "Erlang, you are going to take Hutou into the city. Do you want to inform his family?"
The Taoist Chi has also thought about this problem. He originally wanted to take Hutou to Wangjiayao Village the day before returning to the city. But seeing Wang Qi scratching his head and ears, he probably missed the chickens in the village.
Thinking that it was not easy for the lustful Wang Qi to persevere until now, Dao Chi nodded happily and said: "It's time to inform him and go down the mountain to Hutou's house after dinner."
Except for Hu Tou who still looked confused, Wang Qi and Wang Sanlang were both a little excited after hearing this.
After a while, the four of them went down the mountain after breakfast.
When they were about to arrive at Wangjiayao Village, Wang Qi looked at the hens clucking happily inside and outside the fence at the entrance of the village. Her eyes shone brightly and she involuntarily quickened her pace.
When Hu Tou arrived at the entrance of the village, he slowed down and had a rare expression of confusion on his face, a bit fearful and cautious.
Wang Sanlang saw something was wrong and whispered: "Isn't Erlang Hutou going home? What is he afraid of?"
The Taoist Chi whispered: "People's hearts are all partial. Partial parents are sometimes more terrifying than executioners."
Wang Sanlang was stunned when he heard this. The Taoist idiot had already walked up to Hutou and said: "After meeting your grandpa, you can follow me into the city. There are candies in the city."
Hearing the word "sugar", Hu Tou's attention was immediately attracted, and the fear on his face faded away, leaving only a look full of anticipation.
In Hutou's heart, it is true that candy has the greatest influence on you. Dao Chi thought thoughtfully, and it seems that before Hutou meets the palace, he should think of a way to correct this problem. Otherwise, not everyone can give him a few pieces of candy.
Take it away. Even if he becomes the crown prince in the future, he would not dare to use it.
Wang Sanlang looked at Dao Chi, thinking back to what he just said, "Eccentric parents are sometimes more terrifying than executioners," and felt his face burning hot.
Before arriving at Hutou's house, I heard the sound of "cracking" firecrackers, and then a group of people poured out from the west courtyard of Hutou's house, two people per person, carrying boxes, cages and other items covered with red silk. There were always 30 to 40 people.
The young man headed towards the village with great force.
Wang Qi's face lit up and she said excitedly: "Someone is having a wedding? There is a dressing table, so let's give makeup. Why don't we go there to give the gift and then have a good meal?"
Wang Qi's heart sank. Father Wang was more like an adopted son than an old servant of the old monk. Father Wang was not from Anlu, and his ancestral origin had long been unknown. He only remembered that he was a refugee, and his parents were both dead.
, was sold to a theater troupe by his relatives. Once the master beat him severely and he sneaked out. He met an old monk and was redeemed by the old monk.
Without the old monk, Mr. Wang’s life might not have been saved, not to mention his descendants.
Regardless of whether other members of the Wang family knew it or not, Wang Fuping must have known about the connection between the old monk and Father Wang, so he was extremely respectful in front of the old monk, not only as his father's old master, but also as his own benefactor.
Is this why people take tea to cool down? Less than a month after the old monk's death, the Wang family started to celebrate the wedding in a lively manner. The courtyard just now was the home of Hutou's great-uncle Wang Fu'an.
Before they could get closer, they heard noisy noises coming from the yard. Not only Wang Fu'an's house, but also Wang Fuping's house had guests opening their doors. A wedding tent was set up in the yard, and there were a lot of red firecrackers at the door.
The Taoist idiot stood there and did not step forward for a moment.
Wang Qi was also hesitant. He took a look at what everyone was wearing. Even if they were not in white, they were all in plain clothes. If Hutou's family was having a wedding, would it be too rude to go in like this? But when he saw Hutou, he felt something was wrong. Hutou's family was holding a wedding.
Tou is the eldest grandson of the Wang family, and Xishan Temple is so close to the Wang family kiln. Hu Tou’s family is having a wedding, so why doesn’t anyone come to pick him up?
The tiger's head was drooped, standing next to the Taoist idiot, looking extremely well-behaved.
At this time, someone saw them and looked back.
After a while, a young man came out. He immediately saw the tiger's head, and his face showed joy: "Tiger's head..." Then he became suspicious and looked at the others.
He was the second son of Wang Fuping who used to go up to the mountain, and the second uncle of Hutou. Even though the Taoist idiot had grown his hair and was much taller, he could still recognize him at a glance: "You are the younger one, you are the second son..."
Although he was not good at words, the joy and welcome on his face were clearly written on his face.
"I have something to see the village chief. Is it convenient for the village chief now?" the Taoist idiot said.
Second Uncle Wang said: "It's convenient. A few days ago, my father was still talking about why the Second Young Master didn't come..."
As he said that, he looked at Wang Sanlang, who looked similar to Tao Chi, with some doubts.
Dao Chi pointed at Wang Qi and Sanlang, introduced their identities, and then said: "Please find a place for them to have tea first. I will just take the tiger head to see the village chief."
Hearing that one was the seventh son of the clan and the other was the third son of the twelfth house, the second uncle Hutou couldn't help being a little dumbfounded and said to Dao Chi with a little uneasiness: "How about I go in first?"
For the Twelve Fangs, even if it is the biological father's family of Dao Chi, they have no direct interest here; the clan clan is different. Even though the Wang family are good people now, the younger generation mostly works as servants in the clan clan's shop.
Seeing Wang Qi coming to the door, Uncle Wang became more solemn. He felt that it was a bit disrespectful to lead people in like this, and he thought about telling his father. With his temperament, he might come out to greet her personally.
The Taoist idiot standing by saw the changes in Uncle Wang's eyes and found it very boring. "Grace" cannot compare with "power". The human heart is really hard to grasp.
Among the grandsons of Father Wang, Uncle Wang is still real and knows how to divide people by power.
"Excuse me, please lead the way." Dao Chi said, not interested in waiting at the door.
Uncle Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Several young masters are coming with me."
There were many foreigners in the Xipeng House who saw several young men in plain clothes coming in and looked over curiously. Uncle Wang first called his cousin over and asked him to take Wang Qi and Sanlang to have tea, and then he took Dao Chi and Hu Tou.
The two passed through the hall and went to the backyard.
The moment I saw Wang Fuping, the evil fire in Dao Chi's heart disappeared a lot.
Wang Fuping wore plain clothes and excused himself from feeling unwell in the inner courtyard instead of going out to meet guests.
Seeing Dao Chi and Hu Tou coming over, Wang Fuping was very happy and said: "I thought the second young master would not come until the end of the month. If I had known that the second young master had already gone up the mountain, I would have gone there early in the morning."
Dao Chi did not speak immediately, but looked at Uncle Wang next to him who was serving tea.
When Wang Fuping saw this, he waved his hand to his second son and said, "You have nothing to do here. You can go to the front yard to entertain guests."
Second Uncle Wang responded and retreated.
The Taoist Chi said: "Since the village chief feels that I will definitely come, he must also know the master's last words. When I come to Xishan this time, in addition to mourning the master, I also want to take the tiger's head into the city."
Wang Fuping was embarrassed and said: "Second Young Master, I hope that Second Young Master will come over soon because I want to discuss this matter with Second Young Master."
The Taoist idiot said nothing and only looked at Wang Fuping.
Wang Fuping said: "The tiger head is too clumsy. How can I serve it next to the second master? If the second master remembers the tiger head and caress it once or twice in the future, it will be a great blessing for the tiger head."
Dao Chi frowned and said, "Is this what the village chief meant?"
Wang Fuping saw that Dao Chi was unhappy and told the truth: "It was Hutou's parents who refused. They wanted my second grandson to study and become an official, but they were afraid that Hutou would become a slave and affect the dignity of his younger brother Hutou."
After the old monk passed away, when Wang Fuping listened to the old monk's arrangements for Hu Tou in front of the clan leader, he had no objection in his heart. He also knew that the family treated Hu Tou lightly. Hu Tou was unhappy at home, and Taoism was the king's fault.
The companion has a bright future, and it is also a good thing that Hutou is by his side and that he takes care of him.
But when he returned home, he was persuaded by his eldest son and daughter-in-law.
Although I know that even if the Taoist idiot takes the tiger's head, he may not be made a slave, but as long as the master and slave are divided, it will not sound good.
In addition, the eldest daughter-in-law is interested in choosing a daughter-in-law. How can she hide her little thoughts from the old monk?
Although Hu Tou is stupid, he is obedient and does whatever he is told. When he is at home, he is bossed around by his own mother. If Hu Tou gets a wife and a new worker is added to the family, maybe she will
As a mother-in-law, she can push away all housework and concentrate on taking care of her son's studies.
Although Wang Fuping didn't like his eldest daughter-in-law's petty thoughts, he was also worried that Hu Tou's servant would affect his other children and grandchildren, so he wanted to discuss with Dao Chi and keep Hu Tou.
The Taoist Chi said sternly: "I took Hutou back, not to have a servant. Hutou is not a servant, I will regard him as a brother and sister."
Wang Fuping said: "But the second young master is working as a companion in the palace, so how can he find the time to look after Hutou?"
The Taoist idiot said: "I will bring the tiger head into the palace."
Wang Fuping was stunned for a moment and said: "Second Young Master, did the old man hear wrongly? What Second Young Master just said was... Wangfu?"
The Taoist idiot nodded and said: "Exactly."
Wang Fuping couldn't sit still and said: "Then under what name did Hutou enter the palace?"
Dao Chi did not answer immediately, and thought for a while and said: "Let's study in the palace first = I think you know that Hutou is quite strong. I don't want to waste him. I want to find him a martial arts master in the palace. I don't know who will be there in the future.
Please ask the village chief to keep it secret no matter what step you take."
Say half and leave half. Even though there are all close relatives of Hutou here, there are not two who really think about Hutou.
Wang Fuping had long thought that there must be something weird about the old monk's plain and simple instruction to let the Taoist idiot take care of the tiger's head. He didn't expect to hear it today, but it was a rare and unexpected surprise (to be continued!).
