Chapter 1074
Chapter 1074
Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, as well as Zhang Xiaolong and his wife, came out of the door to welcome them. Earlier, Guo Sufei had heard from the neighbor's children that her youngest son, whom she had not seen for many years, had returned. Guo Sufei did not pay much attention to it because Zhang Xiaohua had returned home a long time ago. It was just that no one knew that he had come and gone. However, when she heard that Zhang Xiaohua's face was pale and that he seemed to be injured, Guo Sufei could not sit still.
When she saw that Zhang Xiaohua was really sick, her heart ached. Although she saw Zhang Bairen calling out "Master, Master" and running past her, she only patted his head. However, her eyes were fixed on Zhang Xiaohua's face, and her footsteps were somewhat hurried.
Seeing that her mother was worried and her father was blaming her, Zhang Xiaohua stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings mother, greetings father."
She then winked and bowed to Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian, "Greetings elder brother, elder sister-in-law."
Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian were stunned for a moment, but they immediately understood. They were surprised and said, "Xiaohua … why did you suddenly come back?"
However, Guo Sufei did not care. She grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's hand and said anxiously, "My son, you … where are you injured?
Didn't I say … "
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm fine. Really, I'm just tired. I ran around for a few days and wanted to come back quickly …"
"You …" Guo Sufei glared at him. She looked at the villagers next to her and could not bear to pinch her hand. She only said, "It's good that you're back. Mother would rather you come back a few days later than see you like this!"
Zhang Xiaohua's heart warmed. She nodded and said, "I've made mother worry. I'm really tired. I'll be fine tomorrow after resting for a night!"
"Well, since Xiaohua said so, it should be fine. Let's go home first.
The child came back from afar, so it's better for her to rest. "
Zhang Cai continued. Then, he turned to the villagers and said, "Everyone, when Xiaohua is well rested, I will bring her to visit all of you in a few days!"
"Don't mention it, don't mention it. We're all from the same village. There's no need to be so polite …" Everyone chuckled when they heard that. They waved their hands and busied themselves with their own matters. Only a few naughty children stared enviously at Little Black and Little Marten on Zhang Xiaohua's shoulders. They were obviously wondering why the puppy was so smart to be able to stand on Zhang Xiaohua's shoulders. They might even have to train their own dogs at night.
When Zhang Xiaohua followed her mother and the others into the house, Mr. Liu, who had received the news, also rushed over. Zhang Xiaohua did not dare to neglect and quickly went forward to greet him. Who knew that Mr. Liu did not dare to accept the greeting and also respectfully returned the greeting, making Zhang Xiaohua a little embarrassed. Liu Qian saw it from the side and pursed her lips into a smile. "Father knows that you can fly. When … You are an immortal, he doesn't dare …"
"Qian 'er!" Mr. Liu chided. "Xiaohua is different from us now. You can't …"
Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed again and said respectfully, "Although I have some remarkable powers, an elder is still an elder. Mr. Liu is my elder. I dare not neglect you!"
This time, Mr. Liu could not move. He could only allow Zhang Xiaohua to bow. However, his eyes were filled with gratification. When Zhang Xiaohua stood still, Mr. Liu could move his hands and feet. He did not fuss about it anymore. He used his hand to stroke his beard and said, "When drinking water, one can think of the source. When one is rich, one does not go back to one's roots. This is a great virtue!"
Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and invited Mr. Liu to take a seat.
When Mr. Liu sat down, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said to Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, "Father, Mother, don't worry. Second Brother has already reached Ping Yang City. I reckon he will be back in a few days' time!"
"Is that so?" Guo Sufei was surprised and asked in return.
"Of course. The Boy saw it with his own eyes. Don't worry."
Zhang Xiaohua made a solemn vow and said, "If Second Brother is busy and can't come back, let's go to Ping Yang City to visit him. He is now the Sect Leader of a famous sect. He is very prestigious!"
Mr. Liu was surprised. Ping Yang City was so far away. Zhang Xiaohua left early in the morning and came back at night. If she did not fly, how else could she go?
Liu Qian was smart. She brewed the Yunwu Tea that Zhang Xiaohua brought back with mountain spring water and served it. Before the teacup was placed on the table, a refreshing tea fragrance filled the entire central room.
This tea fragrance was intoxicating. However, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but frown when she smelled it.
The Yunwu Tea itself contained the energy of heaven and earth. The mountain spring water of the Zhang family was even more abundant. If they only drank the mountain spring water, it was already extremely fragrant. If they drank the Yunwu Tea, it would be hard not to attract attention.
Looking at her mother, father and Mr. Liu enjoying the tea, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Father, our mountain spring water … has anyone … been thinking about it?"
"Yes?
Why not? "
Zhang Cai drank the tea and put down the teacup. He smiled and said, "After all, our crops are different from other families. Your mother and I, erm, and Mr. Liu, are getting younger and younger. Many people have come to ask about it. Cough cough. Because of this, I have even discussed with your brother. We still use the river water when we plant crops. We will only use the mountain spring water for our own consumption.
No one has discovered anything! "
However, Mr. Liu shook his head. "That might not be the case. When we were drinking tea, we were also seen by people a few times. They all wanted to ask where we bought the tea leaves from. We all said that it was sent by Xiao Hu.
This Yunwu Tea is even more fragrant. It is not something that ordinary people can drink. In the future, people might see through us! "
"Isn't it just drinking tea?
Is it … is it that serious? "Guo Sufei was a little doubtful.
"In-law, don't be careless. If the Zhang family did not show some signs in the past few years, how could we have provoked the mountain bandits a few days ago?" Mr. Liu explained.
After all, Mr. Liu had seen the Zhang family in the past few years with his own eyes. If they did not have some external wealth, they would not be so prosperous. How could they not attract the envy of others?
Hearing Mr. Liu's words, Guo Sufei was a little sad. She said, "If Mr. Liu says so, then my Zhang family … is very rich?"
"Haha, In-law, wealth has its own reasons. With wealth, there must be a way to guarantee wealth. Otherwise, you can only be like the clan leader of the Guozhuang House." Then, he looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Isn't there still Xiaohua here?
If it was not for her a few days ago, you all … would have been in trouble.
Of course, now that Xiaohua is back, how much wealth do you all want, isn't it just a matter of words? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Mr. Liu's words are very reasonable."
Then, she told them what had happened in the past few days. When they heard that Zhang Xiaohua had killed many people in the past few days, everyone could not help but tremble in fear. Guo Sufei also frowned, as if she wanted to blame him. Mr. Liu saw this and sighed in his heart. He even explained, "In-law, don't blame Xiaohua for this matter. It is necessary to eradicate evil. If he shows mercy, he may be harmed instead.
And … didn't you hear?
These people's hands are all covered in blood. Xiaohua is also enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens … What he did was very right! "
"But …" Guo Sufei's brows were still knitted. She said worriedly, "But … Xiaohua has done so. He has killed many people himself. In the future … won't he go to hell?"
"I … I'd rather go to hell myself than let my child go there …"
These words expressed the feelings of a loving mother. The hall was silent. Liu Qian looked at Bairen, who was mumbling something in her arms. She also had the same thoughts. She only wanted to bear all the sins for Bairen and let all the pain of Bairen be on her. She could not bear to let him have the slightest bit of … grievance!
"Mother ~" Zhang Xiaohua stood up and walked to his mother's side. He squatted down like a child in the past and smiled, "Mother, don't worry. Your son is now an immortal. A place like hell will not take me in!"
Guo Sufei knew that he was comforting her. She smiled and rubbed her son's head. She said, "Xiaohua, you are all grown up. Mother … can't care so much. But … when you are outside, mother is always worried … afraid of this … afraid of that … even when you come back, mother doesn't dare to ask you about Xiaohu personally!"
"Boy is unfilial. I've made mother worry!" Zhang Xiaohua said guiltily.
"Xiaohua, don't worry. Although your mother misses you, she always praises you in front of me. She said that in the entire Guozhuang House, only her three sons are capable and no one can compare to them!" Zhang Cai comforted at the side.
"That is …" Guo Sufei glared at Zhang Cai and said, "Look at Baldy Guo's family at the entrance of the village. One of his children works at the counter in Lu Town and only earns one cent of silver a month. Another child was found to be playing with fake wood ears and was locked in the prison in Ping Yang City. Then look …"
Zhang Xiaohua was listening with a happy face. However, the more he listened, the stranger his expression became. In the end, he almost laughed bitterly. His mother had mentioned all the good-for-nothings in the Guozhuang House. This … how could he compare with them?
Mr. Liu also laughed as he listened.
Liu Qian also pursed her lips and laughed.
Zhang Bairen was tired of staying in his mother's arms. He walked in front of Zhang Xiaohua and opened his two small arms, asking for a hug. However, he kept calling out "Master", "Master" …
"Eh?" Mr. Liu heard and asked curiously, "Xiaohua, what did Bairen call you?
It doesn't seem to be Little Uncle, right? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and told him about what happened at the entrance of the village. He said, "I thought that if I could teach Ji Xiaohua some martial arts, I would be able to establish myself. It would be worthy of this fate!"
"Xiaohua, this little brat. He doesn't want to be a good younger brother but insists on being a disciple!" Guo Sufei said angrily, "This time … he should call me … Master's Grandmother!"
Zhang Xiaohua was sweating profusely. He waved his hand and said, "Mother, please, this … Xiaohua, can I take on a surname in the future?
I thought you were talking about me! "
Mr. Liu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Then, if Xiaohua establishes a sect, wouldn't Ji Xiaohua be the first disciple?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and nodded naturally, "Perhaps …"
Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, Xiaohua, the first one to kowtow was Xiaohua, but … but the first one you helped up was not him!"
"Then … who else?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. However, she immediately thought of Zhang Bairen who raised his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, you … are you talking about Bairen?"
"But … Bairen is my nephew. If I have the ability, I will definitely teach him. As for apprenticeship … there is no need!"
Mr. Liu shook his head, "No, no …"
Not only Zhang Xiaohua, even Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian who had been silent all this time were also puzzled!
