As the head of the village, Wang Dafu's house is indeed the best. It is the only two-story building built with bluestones in the village. The flat stone slabs are all over the path. If it weren't for the sound of the river rolling from time to time, Su Li thought she was in Qinghe City and didn't go out at all.
"Mother, come out quickly, we have a distinguished guest!"
Wang Dafu shouted with a blush on his face, and the sound of running downstairs was immediately heard from upstairs. A middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and a plump body walked out of the building. When she saw Su Li, who was the leader, she had a very vague look in her eyes. There was a flash of disappointment.
She had heard a long time ago that a distinguished guest was coming to the village, but she didn't expect that it was a yellow-haired girl. It was really a waste of time to dress up.
With this thought in mind, the middle-aged woman walked over quickly and said with enthusiasm: "Come in quickly! No wonder I heard magpies calling early in the morning. It turns out that this young lady is coming!"
Su Li pursed her lips and did not reply. Instead, she turned her gaze to Xiao Wu beside her, "Since it's your home, you make the decision. I'm also a little tired. If anything happens, I'll ask No. 1 and the others to solve it."
Xiao Wu looked around, worried in his heart. When he heard Su Li say this, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and deep gratitude arose in his heart. He bowed and said: "Thank you, sir!"
Mrs. Wang obviously did not recognize Xiao Wu, and was confused. In the end, she only caught the four words "Su Li is tired." She immediately stepped aside and said with an attentive face: "Since the young lady is tired, why not come up?" Let’s take a rest upstairs. The guest room has been tidied up!”
Su Li glanced at Fang Yuan and others, and then led Nanny Li into the building.
As soon as Su Li left, Mrs. Wang felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and she looked more natural. She was about to continue her friendship with Fang Yuan and others, but Wang Dafu quietly pulled her sleeves behind her. She couldn't help but turned around in anger and whispered. : "You've been pulling me in since we first opened. The customer is here!"
Wang Dafu didn't have time to care about his wife's attitude and said anxiously: "Where is my father?"
"That old immortal? Of course he went back!"
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and did not see the drastic change in Wang Dafu's expression. She turned around and saw Xiao Wu who had walked up to him with a serious look on his face. She immediately praised him: "This young master is really handsome. You can tell he is well-educated at a glance." Excellent, not comparable to my Zhuoer!"
Xiao Wu smiled coldly, "Auntie said three years ago that I was a bastard who had a mother but no father. How could I forget it so quickly?"
Mrs. Wang's smile froze and she looked at Xiao Wu blankly. Did she hear wrong just now? This young man actually called her aunt, which seemed...
"He is Xiao Wu."
Wang Dafu covered his face and sighed. He had wanted to say it for a long time, but his mother-in-law kept grabbing the space and made him unable to speak.
"Xiao Wu?!"
Mrs. Wang screamed, and a lot of rouge fell off her face like lime.
Then she turned her eyes to the side, that was... Da Tian
Are these two little bastards who she kicked out successful
Come back to settle the score with her? !
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly turned pale, and she said quibly: "Xiao Wu, Da Tian! It was you two who left three years ago. After all, it was us who raised you up. Is this how you repay kindness with enmity?"
"It was grandpa who raised me, not you!" Xiao Wu's eyes were cold, "Aunt, I don't want to care about the past. If you hadn't forced me back then, I wouldn't have met Mr. Su. Now that I'm back, I just want to take a look. Grandpa, how are you doing?"
Xiao Wu looked around and said, "Which room is he in?"
Mrs. Wang's face was extremely ugly and she didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's reaction, Xiao Wu's expression suddenly changed slightly. He turned to Wang Dafu and said gloomily: "Uncle, you said that grandpa is fine. Is it possible that it was a lie?"
"Of course not." Wang Dafu waved his hands quickly. Seeing that the cold-faced young men and women behind Xiao Wu looked unkind, he immediately said obediently: "It's just your grandfather who doesn't live here..."
Before entering Dawang Village, Fang Yuan and others had already taken the disguise pill and taken off the masks. Facing a group of ordinary people who don't know mystical skills, the lowest level of disguise pill can hide their appearance. The effect of this disguise pill can last for a long time.
"Don't live here?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu had a look of disbelief on his face, "Uncle, you are grandpa's only biological son. Grandpa is old. If he doesn't live here alone, where else can he live?"
Wang Dafu had a look of shame on his face and couldn't say anything.
Xiao Wu's eyes burst into flames, and his gaze fell on Mrs. Wang, "Uncle, it's okay if you drive me and Da Tian away. Now that you have even driven away your biological father, is there any humanity left?"
"I didn't drive you away!" Wang Dafu waved his hands quickly, with a cowardly look on his face, and looked at Mrs. Wang.
When Mrs. Wang saw how useless he was, her old face turned pale with anger. She pointed at her husband and cursed: "Wang Dafu, you useless thing! If you do something wrong, blame it on your own mother-in-law. Can you blame me for your father's departure? It's obvious that he is. That old guy thought I was bad for this or that, so he left on his own! It had nothing to do with me... "
"enough!"
Xiao Wu roared so loudly that it reverberated throughout the second-story building. Mrs. Wang was so frightened that her body trembled, and she suddenly became silent, not daring to say anything more.
"Wang Dafu, take me to find grandpa?"
Xiao Wu looked gloomy and didn't even bother to call him "uncle". Wang Dafu shrank his neck and said, "He lives in the old house. If you still remember..."
"I remember!"
Xiao Wu interrupted Wang Dafu's words, then turned around and bowed slightly to Fang Yuan, "Sir, I have something urgent, so I have to excuse myself first."
After getting Fang Yuan's approval, Xiao Wu immediately ran out of the yard. Fang Yuan turned around and said to Fang Mu: "Go with him and see if you can help."
Fang Mu immediately nodded and went out to follow. Fang Yuan, the three of them, and the Wang family were suddenly left in the courtyard. The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a while.
Yin Xuetong didn't even look at Wang Dafu and the two of them, and said in a different voice: "It's still early, why don't we go out for a walk together?"
She had not forgotten Su Li's instructions before entering Dawang Village. She proposed it at this moment. Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning immediately agreed, and they all left the yard. In the blink of an eye, no one was left.
Mrs. Wang stood there for a long time, then suddenly tore Wang Dafu's clothes like crazy, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault, you murderer! Didn't you say those two little bastards died outside and wouldn't come back? ? Why not only did you come back, but you also used bad luck to climb into power! Why is it him? Not our son!"
"Don't fight, don't fight..."
Wang Dafu's clothes were torn to pieces and he was in a miserable state. There were several cuts made by Mrs. Wang's long nails. "The lady upstairs is still here. Don't hit me, mother-in-law!"
Mrs. Wang froze, woke up and quickly pulled Wang Dafu's ear into the house.
Su Li sat by the window upstairs and looked at it from beginning to end, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Miss, do we really want to live here?"
Grandma Li stood behind Su Li and said angrily: "We said we would give money, didn't we give Mrs. Wang an advantage?"
"We'll discuss this later, nanny, don't worry."
Su Li took the original sword manual, lowered her head and said calmly.
Grandma Li responded. Thinking of all the things she had experienced since rescuing Su Li last spring, her heart gradually calmed down and she turned to do other things.
…
Xiaowu and Datian followed their memories and came to the old house. Looking at the thatched house that was about to collapse, their eyes suddenly turned red and they rushed in at the same time.
Fang Mu looked at the half-slanted thatched house, sighing in his eyes, and bent down to follow it.
Under the influence of Su Li's elixir, he was much taller than before.
Although it was daytime, the windows of the thatched house were small and the light was very dim. Xiao Wu bowed and walked through a grass gate, and immediately saw the frail old man lying on the bed. It was the old man he had missed for a long time.
"grandfather!"
Xiao Wu kneeled down in front of the straw couch with tears streaming down his face, "Grandpa, I'm back! I'm Xiao Wu, Da Tian and I are back to see you!"
The old man lying on the bed opened his eyes in a daze, revealing a pair of cloudy eyeballs. When he heard the voice, a pair of old hands as rough as bark immediately stretched out. After grabbing Xiao Wu's hand, he immediately smiled. There are not many teeth left,
"It's Xiao Wu. It'll be good to come back. It'll be good to come back..."
Xiao Wu held the old man's hand tightly and looked at his grandfather, who was wearing the same clothes as a beggar. He hadn't taken a shower for an unknown amount of time, and his whole body exuded an unpleasant stench. His body was so weak that he couldn't even speak loudly. , obviously too hungry to have any energy.
A cold light shot out of Xiao Wu's eyes. Three years ago, he was a healthy old man who was energetic and neatly dressed. It is absolutely abnormal to look like this today.
Fang Mu glanced at Xiao Wu's ancestors and grandson at the door, but did not go in. He turned around and walked into another room in the thatched house. Judging from the location, it should be the kitchen.
There was also a pot in the kitchen that showed signs of recent use. Fang Mu opened it and saw turbid soup floating inside. He immediately took a spoon and picked it up to take a look.
It's all wild vegetables.
"You don't even have to eat. No wonder the old man is so weak."
Fang Mu murmured. Although he was not a doctor, he had experienced the old man's frail state and could see it at a glance. After pondering for a moment, he took off the water bag from his waist and took out a pill. Turn around and walk into the room.
"Grandpa, tell me, did that woman Hu Li do it? I'm going to find her now!" As soon as he entered the room, Fang Mu heard Xiao Wu's murderous words.
"No...don't...don't cause trouble." The old man gasped and said intermittently. He was afraid that Xiaowu would do something stupid, so he used all his strength to hold Xiaowu's hand and prevent him from leaving.
But he was so anxious that he rolled his eyes and fainted completely.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu suddenly panicked and kept shaking his grandfather's body, with tears streaming down his face. "Grandpa, don't scare me!"
Fang Mu couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled Xiao Wu away and shouted in a deep voice: "If you don't want to see your grandpa starve to death, just get out of my way!"
Without saying a word, Xiao Wu stood up and knelt down with a plop towards Fang Mu, "Sir, please save my grandpa's life. I'm willing to do anything!"
Fang Mu sat by the bed and fed the old man the elixir. He touched several acupuncture points on his chest with his fingers to help open them, and said:
"Don't worry, your grandpa is fine. He just fainted from hunger. I gave him a mild elixir, which was enough to recover him from his weak state. You have this time to kneel down, so why not go to the carriage and get something to eat? Come here, this pill alone won't make you full."
When Xiao Wu heard what Fang Mu said, he suddenly smiled and said with tears: "Thank you, sir, I'll go right away!"
Da Tian knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times. He didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he could only tell Fang Mu through actions.
Fang Mu sighed softly, that pill was prepared for him by Su Li and was worth a lot of money. But Xiao Wu can be regarded as one of Su Li's, so she shouldn't blame him if he gave it to Xiao Wu's grandfather, right
