Along the way, Wang Baole wanted to ask about the mask, but he knew that the matter was too big and he felt that it was not safe to discuss it outside, so he held back and planned to ask his father after drinking in the evening.
Not long after, the father and son arrived home and returned to the place where they grew up. The sense of intimacy made Wang Baole, who had the ambition to leave Phoenix City a year ago, feel very special.
Because of his father's archaeological work, the place where Wang Baole's family lives is not bad in Phoenix City. It is a small courtyard with a single family.
Although in terms of value, it is not comparable to ordinary housing in Pianmiao City, it is still considered well-off in Phoenix City.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Baole smelled the aroma of food. His eyes lit up, he took off his shoes and ran over, and saw his mother walking over with a plate of braised pork.
"Mom, I'm back!" Wang Baole cheered and went up to hug his mother.
"Child, please slow down." Wang Baole's mother looks about forty years old. Although there are some shallow crow's feet on her face, she can still see the beauty of her youth. With kindness in her eyes at this moment, she puts her hand in her hand. After putting down the plates, he took Wang Baole to sit at the dining table, touched Wang Baole's head, and felt distressed.
"Baole, you have lost weight, eat more." As she said that, Wang Baole's mother picked up a large piece of braised pork and put it in Wang Baole's bowl.
The father who was taking off his shoes at the side curled his lips and shook his head silently. He really felt that the reason why Wang Baole couldn't lose weight had a lot to do with his wife's doting.
Soon, the three of them were sitting at the dinner table. After asking Wang Baole about his life this year, Wang Baole's father took out a bottle of wine and started drinking with Wang Baole.
"Baole, eat less and drink more, you know what?"
"Come on, Lao Wang. My son wants to give you a drink. From now on, our family can rely on me. You can take a rest. Don't go out to dig this and that all the time. It's so dangerous."
After listening to Wang Baole's words, Wang Baole's father laughed and cursed a few times. The child still couldn't tell what archeology was and what tomb robbing was, but he felt very warm in his heart and drank it in one gulp.
Looking at the father and son, Wang Baole's mother felt very satisfied and her eyes were soft. It seemed that these two men were everything in her heart.
"Mom, I'm so powerful now. I'm the only university leader in our Taoist Academy's Law and Arms Department!" Wang Baole happily took a big mouthful of braised pork and boasted vaguely.
"Our family Baole has been smart and handsome since he was a child. It is natural for him to become the head of school. By the way, Baole, what is the head of school?" Wang Baole's mother smiled and gave Wang Baole another piece of meat and asked curiously.
Wang Baole quickly took the trouble to explain to his mother what a top student was. Soon, Wang Baole's mother looked surprised, and even Wang Baole's father looked incredulous.
"I said that some time ago, the city lord brought many people to visit us... It turns out that our Baole is so awesome." Wang Baole's mother joked with a smile and told Wang Baole that in the past few months, the city lord and deputy city lord of Phoenix City I've been here several times, and every time I come I'm always greeted and given a lot of gifts.
"Deputy City Lord? Well, his son is now my subordinate." Wang Baole raised his right hand proudly and waved the bracelet on his wrist in front of his parents.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Look, this is a storage bracelet. I answered the question asked by the elder, and he gave it to me as a reward." As he said this, Wang Baole took out a lot of ice spirit water in a flash. Along with the elixir and some magic weapons, I gave them to my parents.
"This is the ice spirit water that is a specialty of our Taoist temple. It is very delicious. Please try it."
"Also, you keep these elixirs. I bought them from the elixir department in the Taoist temple. They can strengthen the body and cure all kinds of diseases. Mom, you are not in good health. Eat more. Dad, every time you go I’ll take some with me for archeology, and I’ll give you some better ones when I come back next time.”
"Also, these magic weapons are all made by me. Dad, these are for you. Mom, you can take these and wear them on your body."
Seeing that Wang Baole left home for a year to study, achieved such results, and had such filial piety, Wang Baole's parents felt warm in their hearts, and a warm atmosphere permeated the family of three.
After a long meal, Wang Baole told his parents every detail of his life this year, except for some things that he was afraid of worrying about his parents. At the end, Wang Baole's mother smiled while clearing away the dishes.
"Don't keep bickering with Du Min. I think Du Min's child is quite good, and there's also Zhou Xiaoya you just mentioned. Bring her back later and show her to your mother."
"No problem, I will bring you one every year from now on. It won't be the same." Wang Baole also drank a little too much. At this moment, he raised his little neck and said proudly.
"Baole, you are quite capable." Wang Baole's mother glared at him, while Wang Baole's father smiled and picked up the wine glass with emotion on his face, seeming to be reminded of his own youth.
"That's right, mother, I learned this from my father." Wang Baole coughed dryly. As soon as he spoke, the father next to him almost spit out a mouthful of wine. He quickly explained. It took a long time to resolve the matter, and turned around to glare. With Wang Baole.
Wang Baole chuckled and quickly filled up his father's glass of wine. While the father and son were drinking, Wang Baole thought for a while. He knew that the black mask had a good origin. Whenever there was a trace of possible danger, he didn't want his father and mother to be involved, so He didn't tell him about it, but made some indirect inquiries.
"You said the mask was stolen by you? Huh, little bastard, I haven't bothered you about this yet, that's all. Just keep it if you like."
"This mask... I think about it, last year, the archaeological team and I went out and picked it up when we went to a ruins at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain in the Chiyun Rainforest. After I came back, I checked it and found that it was not a fragment of spiritual energy, nor a fragment of spiritual energy. It had no value, so I spent money to buy it and planned to research the age, but before I could research it, it was stolen by your kid." Wang Baole's father drank a little too much and his speech was a little blurry, but he finally said it. The origin of this mask is revealed.
Wang Baole asked again about the specific location of the ruins and whether there were other mask fragments. After getting the answer, knowing that there was only this mask, he helped his drunken father back to the room and returned to his hut, where he lay , looking at the moon outside the window, lost in thought.
"Chiyun Rainforest..." Wang Baole felt that he seemed to have a special affinity with Chiyun Rainforest. At this moment, he sketched the location described by his father in his mind. After roughly determining the location, he planned to find an opportunity to see it alone when he was stronger. look.
There was nothing to say all night, and half a month passed quickly.
During the past half month, Wang Baole mostly stayed at home with his parents. Even if he occasionally went out, he would accompany his mother to buy groceries, or go to the archaeological team with his father.
Life seemed to be no different from the vacation before he was admitted to the Taoist Academy. Wang Baole felt that this was quite comfortable. At his request, his parents also took some of the elixirs he had brought back, both in terms of body and appearance. There have been some changes in my age, and even my spirit seems to have improved a lot.
This made Wang Baole very happy. Many of his magic weapons were worn by his parents. Under his heavy protection, today's Comrade Lao Wang, even if he encounters a ferocious beast in the sealed realm, he has A certain amount of self-protection.
Until a few days later, at noon that day, Wang Baole, who had just finished his meal and was lying on the small bed, feeling his stomach and feeling his stomach, received a notice of a class reunion.
It was not a gathering at the Taoist Academy, but a reunion of classmates from the basic school where he attended before he was admitted to the Taoist Academy. With the vacation and their respective returns, he initiated a reunion.
"Party?" Wang Baole sat up from the crib and looked at the sound transmission ring. His eyes lit up and he quickly got up. After changing his clothes, with inner expectations, he said hello to his mother and left the house. .
This was Wang Baole's first class reunion after graduating from basic school, and the venue of the gathering was deliberately arranged by the sponsor to choose Wenya Winery, the premier winery in Phoenix.
When he arrived at the winery, Wang Baole saw Du Min, who had also just arrived. Compared to the uniform academic robes he wore at the Taoist Academy, Du Min was now wearing fashionable clothes and a ponytail. He looked fresh and beautiful. He was paying attention. After arriving at Wang Baole, Du Min glared at him out of habit.
"I said Ban'er, why are you always glaring at me? I didn't mess with you today!" Wang Baole quit.
Du Min didn't know why, but when she saw Wang Baole, she couldn't help but glare at him. At this moment, she snorted, raised her head, and walked past Wang Baole like a proud little peacock.
"Sure enough, a small chest means a small spirit!" Wang Baole muttered, and walked into the winery. He saw a semi-enclosed private room in the hall, which was now full of people, laughing and chatting with each other.
In particular, there was a young man inside who was wearing formal clothes and looked very dignified. At this moment, he raised his hand as if pointing out the country, and his laughter was even louder. After noticing Wang Baole and Du Min, the young man turned his head and looked at Wang Baole. Sweeping it over, it lit up at Du Min's place.
"Monitor, you're finally here." The young man said with a smile and asked the people around him to move their seats. He was very enthusiastic, but he just nodded to Wang Baole and didn't pay much attention.
Seeing this different treatment, Wang Baole blinked, thinking that the relationship with the other party was very normal when they were in school, so he didn't take it to heart and sat down.
