That's right, it would be strange if they had the same feeling.
In Zhang Xiaohua's mind, his mother's hair should be gray and wrinkled. His father's hair should be even whiter and his back should be bent due to exhaustion. His hands, which used to support him since he was young, should be unusually rough. His elder brother's hair should also be gray at an early age. His face was full of bitterness and hatred. His elder sister-in-law should have died early and looked like a village woman.
However, what about now?
Just now when she threw herself into her mother's arms, her hair seemed to be abnormally black and her skin was very good. Although there were crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, there weren't many. Her father's hand that held her hand just now seemed to be more delicate than when she left home. She didn't feel that it was rough at all. Moreover, when her father walked back, his back was straight.
Her elder brother and sister-in-law didn't see it clearly, but it wasn't like what she imagined.
Why was everything different from what she imagined?
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Cai's black hair under the oil lamp and his face that didn't change much from two years ago when she left. She asked, "Father, why is your hair so black? I remember that when I left, your hair was gray."
Zhang Cai couldn't help touching his hair and smiled, "Who knows. Last year, my hair slowly turned black and gray. This year, it was completely black. When the villagers asked me, I didn't know what to say. I could only say that it was dyed with herbs by the town's doctor.
That's right, your mother also had the same, and Mr. Liu behind the house. According to Mr. Liu, it should be because of the well water on the South Slope. However, I don't think so. How can the well water be so magical? "
Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved and asked, "Father, about the spring water, you didn't tell the villagers, right?"
Zhang Cai shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu and your sister-in-law repeatedly told me not to tell them. How can I tell them?
Even if it's not because of the well water, I can't tell them because the South Slope Village is so good. "
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said solemnly, "Father, this matter can't be told to others. Maybe the villagers don't have bad intentions, but there are too many bad people outside the village. If someone hears the news, our family will suffer."
Zhang Cai smiled and said, "I know. Xiaohua, quickly drink water. Don't be thirsty."
Zhang Xiaohua then remembered that she still had to verify her discovery.
Sure enough, this time, the tea had the same reaction. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi really existed.
Zhang Xiaohua was enlightened. His spring water was indeed extraordinary. It was just as Mr. Liu had said. His family's abnormalities were due to the spring water.
However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know how to explain these things to her family.
After drinking a few more cups of tea, Zhang Xiaohua's thirst was quenched. Her qi also increased slightly. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think, "Drinking tea can also cultivate. It's really interesting. Do I have to drink tea every day in the future?"
Just as she was thinking, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaolong came back. Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved, she poured a cup of tea for Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Second brother, you're also thirsty. Quickly drink some water."
After that, she carefully observed Zhang Xiaohu's movements. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaohu was the same as before. He drank it in one gulp and didn't have any abnormalities. Then, he raised the empty cup and said, "Good tea, it's really delicious. Another cup!"
Not long after, Guo Sufei also came back. Liu Qian cooked two more vegetarian dishes. The family then started to eat. Zhang Xiaolong asked, "Qianqian, do we need to call father over?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, but she immediately woke up. Isn't that Mr. Liu?
Sure enough, Liu Qian smiled and said, "At this time, he must have eaten already. No need to call him. After a while, call him over to drink tea. He must be very happy to see Xiaohu and Xiaohua."
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua carefully looked at her brother and sister-in-law under the light. Sure enough, there was no change as she thought before. Her sister-in-law was still beautiful. Even that kind of temperament was restrained. There was no shadow of a rural woman. Her brother was also dignified. Compared to before, there was a kind of elegance. If one didn't know the inside story, it was completely impossible to tell that he was a farmer in the countryside.
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. How could the spring water give people knowledge?
His big brother's temperament was just like Li Jinfeng's.
This meal, Zhang Xiaohua ate happily. The taste of the food in Zhang Xiaohua's mouth may not be as delicious as the food in Huan Xi Manor, but this kind of warmth and feeling was a world of difference. It made Zhang Xiaohua eat several bowls of rice and was reluctant to put it down.
Liu Qian only ate a small mouthful of rice. She didn't dare to eat more. Zhang Xiaohua ate like this, tonight's meal was not enough.
After the meal, Guo Sufei and Liu Qian cleaned up. Everyone was about to sit down when they heard someone shouting outside, "Brother Zhang, is today's tea ready?"
Liu Qian happily said, "Father, you are here. I was about to call you over. Xiaohu and Xiaohua are back."
The person who pushed the door and came in was Mr. Liu.
Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua quickly got up and went to the courtyard to greet him.
Mr. Liu was overjoyed and said, "No need for formalities, no need for formalities. When did the two of you come back?
Why didn't you send a message beforehand?
I heard that the escort agency often has a business of welcoming and delivering guests. It shouldn't be difficult to send a message. "
Zhang Xiaohu smiled wryly and said, "This, Mr. Liu, I am no longer in the escort agency. Moreover, there are too many things to do. I really don't have the time. Moreover, we didn't think of sending a message to the family first."
"Hehe." Mr. Liu stroked his beard and laughed, "Young people are so careless."
Zhang Xiaolong said, "Father, let's talk inside. The tea is already brewed. Xiao Hu and Xiao Hua just came back and just finished eating."
Zhang Cai invited Mr. Liu into the house. Zhang Xiaohua carefully looked at him from the side. Mr. Liu indeed had a head full of black hair and looked hale and hearty. He seemed to be younger than two years ago.
Just as Zhang Xiaohu was about to speak, Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "Xiaohu, don't say anything yet. Let's wait for your mother to come over first. Last time, Young Master Li from Lu Town came over for the New Year, but he didn't explain it clearly. The whole family wants to know about your experiences outside, especially your mother. During this period of time, she would go to the entrance of the village every night to take a look. Who would have thought that she would really be able to see you guys today?"
Zhang Xiaolong said, "You guys talk first. I will go help Mother and the others."
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say much. She was very depressed. This could quench her thirst and cultivate at the same time. Why not?
However, the consequences of drinking too much water were also serious!
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Guo Sufei and Zhang Xiaolong to finish tidying up. They closed the courtyard door and went to the central room.
Under the bright oil lamp and the eager gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xiaohu recounted how the two of them left Guo Village two years ago, went to Lu Town, and then to Ping Yang City. He also recounted how the two of them went to the escort agency to practice martial arts. He stayed in the escort agency while Zhang Xiaohua went to Huan Xi Manor. Later on, he became an armed escort and went out to escort escorts. Naturally, Zhang Xiaohu skimmed over the hardships involved. However, Guo Sufei could only wipe away her tears as she listened. How could she not understand the hardships involved when a son traveled thousands of miles and was worried about his mother?
After that, Zhang Xiaohu hesitated for a moment. He then told them about how he went to the seaside town as an escort, how he met Zhang Xiaohua by chance, how they came back together, and how the escort leader made things difficult for him. In fact, he didn't want to talk about this. However, if he didn't talk about this, he wouldn't be able to explain how he was accepted into the Misty School. He said that the escort leader made things difficult for him just to divert his family's attention.
Sure enough, everyone was curious about how they met Zhang Xiaohua. They were immediately angered by the escort leader's rudeness. After that, Zhang Xiaohu talked about how Qiu Tong returned the money, how she made the Lotus Escort Agency lose face, how he was accepted into the Misty School, and how he had a noble status and so on.
This turn of events left everyone dumbstruck.
Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong still didn't believe it. They asked, "Your master is Wen Wenhai, the hero who saved us in Lu Town?"
Zhang Xiaohu said with certainty, "It is him."
Zhang Cai said, "He doesn't seem to be that much older than you."
Mister Liu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you don't understand. In the martial arts world, the most important thing is that the one who has reached the top is the master. I've read some miscellaneous books before. In the martial arts world, it's nothing new to have someone younger than you as a master."
Zhang Cai finally understood.
At this time, Mr Liu continued, "Ever since I found out that the two of you had gone to Ping Yang City and were even making a living at the Lotus Escort Agency, I had specially asked my close friends to find out more. Only then did I find out that the Lotus Escort Agency was actually many times more powerful than the Evil Tiger Gang in Lu Town. Moreover, they have always had a good reputation. Although this escort agency's business is somewhat dangerous, you don't know martial arts, so you don't have to worry about your life.
However, from what you have said today, you have actually entered the Misty School and become the direct disciple of the sect's leader. This is undoubtedly your great fortune. However, this Misty School is not ordinary. That Lotus Escort Agency is merely a branch of the Misty School and already has such a reputation. The status and reputation of the Misty School in the martial arts world is not something that we can imagine. Just like what Brother Zhang said before, just a token from Hero Wen was able to make the Evil Tiger Gang retreat. His status must be extraordinary. To put it bluntly, Xiao Hu, how did you manage to climb up his thigh? "
Hit the nail on the head!
When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he looked at Zhang Xiaohua and smiled bitterly, "This, Mr Liu is extremely right. The Misty School does not even know who I am. For me to be able to enter the Misty School as a disciple, it is entirely because of Xiaohua's face!"
"Ah!!!"
Everyone was shocked. They all looked at Zhang Xiaohua. Liu Qian even almost screamed out loud. She covered her mouth with her hand and stared with wide eyes at the young man who used to be so weak in her eyes.
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and drank a mouthful of tea. She enjoyed the pleasant feeling of the vital Qi entering her body and smiled as she said, "The matter, it is like this."
