When Du Shaofu brought some appetizers from the kitchen, the night had already completely fallen, the moon was hanging high, and the moon was shining like a practice, it wasn't August 15th, but today's moonlight was also very bright.
The two father and son sat down, relatively silent.
Du Tingxuan smelled of alcohol all over, raised his head and took a sip of the wine, then handed the jug to Du Shaofu, and asked: "Are you all right?"
"It's okay, I just went around the Wild Beast Mountain Range."
Du Shaofu knew that the alcoholic old man was asking about his disappearance, and what he told his second uncle was that he secretly went into the Wild Beast Mountain Range to hone himself, and he didn't say anything about the plain-clothed man, so as not to implicate Fu Yibai. Du Shaofu also didn't talk about the golden-winged roc and the purple flame monster phoenix with his second uncle, so as not to cause trouble for himself, and then he didn't know how to explain it.
Du Shaofu took a sip from the jug, then handed it back to the alcoholic old man. I drank with my alcoholic father since I was a child, and even drank secretly when I was a child, so the amount of alcohol is actually good.
"oh."
Du Tingxuan just said something softly, then took another big gulp from the flagon handed over, and then he didn't speak again.
Du Shaofu has long been used to the father and son's way of getting along, and then the two fathers and sons drink one mouthful at a time, it seems that they drank a lot tonight, until Du Shaofu was a little dizzy, and then fell asleep in the yard past.
Early in the morning, when Du Shaofu woke up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, he found that the surroundings were pitch black.
"Is it in the sarcophagus of the ancestral hall again?"
Du Shaofu got up and pushed away the stone cover on the sarcophagus, and he was really in the sarcophagus in the ancestral hall again, dripping with sweat, with some impurities on it, his body felt like cutting the bones and washing the marrow again.
"Master Shaofu, the Patriarch wants to see you in the study."
When he came out from the ancestral hall and returned to the courtyard, the alcoholic old man was no longer in the courtyard. After taking a bath and changing into a purple robe that he usually likes to wear, Du Shaofu saw the front yard manager who did not know when he came. Well, everyone in the Du family called him Uncle Lin, an old man who was over sixty years old, but he was very valued by his uncle, and had a high status in the whole Du family. He said that it was his uncle who wanted to see him.
Du Shaofu nodded, yesterday the second uncle mentioned that the uncle wanted to see him, but he didn't expect that the uncle asked someone to come to him early in the morning, then he remembered something, looked at the sixty old man in front of him, and asked: "Uncle Lin, the backyard How is Du Hai's ability to handle affairs?"
Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and said: "Master Shaofu didn't tell me that I forgot, this Du Hai is the manager of the backyard, but his ability to handle affairs has become worse and worse recently, I am planning to punish him."
"Lin Bo, you are a person who is highly valued by uncle, and also a person who is highly valued by my Du family. The Du family will take care of you. Those who are not qualified by the Du family should never be tolerated." After Du Shaofu finished speaking, he smiled. Leave gently.
Looking at Du Shaofu's back, the sixtieth old man's face showed a slight smile, and said: "It seems that this young master is going to use the knife, who said that this young master is stupid, how can the third master's child be stupid, Du family It’s time for some servants to move now.”
Du Shaofu went to the study, uncle's study.
Uncle didn't let himself go to the hall but the study, Du Shaofu knew that because the uncle had never disliked himself, there would not be too many people who could enter the uncle's study, even the children of the Du family would not be too many.
"Shaofu, let uncle take a look."
When Du Shaofu pushed open the study door, a heroic man in his forties raised his head, and immediately greeted him happily.
"Uncle." Du Shaofu saluted, the heroic man in front of him was his uncle Du Zhenwu, and he was also a well-known figure in the entire stone city.
"I've heard about you, it's fine, don't go to the Wild Beast Mountain Range alone next time."
Du Zhenwu patted Du Shaofu's shoulder, pulled him to sit in the study, on his tense face, his eyes flooded with kindness, and then said: "I heard that you can already cultivate, is it?"
"Well, I can practice now." Du Shaofu nodded, there is nothing to hide about this, anyway, everyone in the Du family knows now.
"It's good to recover, it's good to recover, God bless my Du family, God has pity on my nephew Shaofu."
Du Zhenwu was very excited, looking at Du Shaofu smiling very happily, after a long time, his face became a little serious, and he said to Du Shaofu: "There is still one month to come, and the five major families of Shicheng will have a three-year junior contest. Being able to win the championship will not only benefit the winner, but also the entire family, so prepare well, the Du family will need you when the time comes."
"Um."
Du Shaofu nodded, the gathering of the five big families once every three years, I have heard of it before.
After chatting with his uncle for a while, Du Shaofu took his leave and left. For some questions asked by his uncle, what he couldn't say was naturally all perfunctory. The things in the Wild Beast Mountain Range have always been said that he wants to grind I practiced myself, so I went in.
Watching Du Shaofu leave, Du Zhenwu looked outside the study, the joy on his face gradually subsided, his eyes wiped the solemnity, and said: "The five big families gather once every three years, I hope there will be no accidents this time."
Behind the Cangwu Building, in the wide yard.
Fu Yibai waited for the white hair like a bird's nest to squat on the ground, watching the ants crawling around on the ground, his eyes fixed on him, looking extremely serious, but he just didn't dare to raise his head.
Du Shaofu stood behind Fu Yibai, and then turned in front of Fu Yibai, although he told his second uncle and uncle that he entered the Wild Beast Mountain Range on his own initiative, and he didn't want to involve Fu Yibai, but it doesn't mean it can be treated as if it didn't happen However, at least ask Fu Yibai to find out what's going on.
Fu Yibai turned around without leaving a trace and turned his back to Du Shaofu, continuing to look at the ants in front of him.
Du Shaofu got angry, squatted directly in front of Fu Yibai, said: "Old Bai, you have to give me an explanation?"
"What's the explanation?" Fu Yibai looked up at Du Shaofu blankly, his eyes looked innocent.
"Don't play dumb for me, what happened to that beautiful woman, do you know, this time I almost let you kill me."
The more Du Shaofu spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, he was completely implicated by this old guy, he almost died, and almost hiccupped, but he didn't expect that this old guy would still refuse to admit it now.
Fu Yibai looked at Du Shaofu, ignored Du Shaofu's excited face, and said: "Then are you dead now?"
Du Shaofu was taken aback, gritted his teeth and said: "No."
"Then are you missing any arms or legs?" Fu Yibai continued to ask.
Du Shaofu continued to grit his teeth, and replied: "No."
"That's it."
Fu Yibai looked at Du Shaofu with disgust, and then said: "She looks as cold as ice, but in fact she won't kill people randomly at all, but you, the great opportunity has been missed, how many people in the world want to worship Under her sect, if you find an opportunity to pester her, maybe she will accept you as an apprentice, and it will be enough to make you famous all over the world. It is much better than being in this small Du's house. What a pity for you. .”
Du Shaofu was taken aback, listening to Fu Yibai's words, as if he still owed Fu Yibai a huge favor.
"Fu Yibai, stop for me."
Just when Du Shaofu was stunned, Fu Yibai had disappeared in place.
A moment later, the smoke from the cooking was faintly visible on the mountain behind Du's house.
Du Shaofu and Fu Yibai ate the barbecue, devoured it, and devoured it hungrily.
But no matter how Du Shaofu asked Fu Yibai about the identity of the plain-clothed man and his relationship, Fu Yibai always answered irrelevant questions. In the end, Du Shaofu had a lot of questions in his heart, and he could only hold them back.
"Keep the things on your body well, don't lose them, whether you can understand them by yourself depends on your own ability."
After eating, Du Shaofu was belching, but Fu Yibai suddenly said something inexplicable to Du Shaofu, and then said: "I'm full, I'll go back and take a nap."
Du Shaofu was stunned again, when he came back to his senses, Fu Yibai's figure had disappeared.
"Du Shaofu, you are finally back."
In the afternoon, Du Shaofu planned to go back from the back mountain, but when he got to the door of the backyard, he was blocked by a group of people.
Du Shaofu raised his head, and those who blocked him were all acquaintances, Du Hao, the grandson of the great elder, was among them, and there were also Du Chong and Du Yan, and the others were also the children of the Du family.
Looking at these people, Du Shaofu's eyes moved slightly, then he showed a smile, and said: "Are you giving me pills and coins? It seems that you haven't forgotten, you still owe me ten years of pills and coins currency."
"I owe you a fart, hurry up and return the blood of our Jidan and Stormy Demon Wolf, or I will be rude to you!"
Du Hao was furious, treasures such as the blood of the violent stone demon wolf were taken away, how could he swallow the anger in his heart, his father went to find the Patriarch, but met Du Shaofu's strange disappearance, in the end he could only do nothing Let it go. I heard that Du Shaofu came back yesterday evening, so I gathered the people who had suffered together that day and wandered around to find Du Shaofu to settle accounts, but I didn't expect to meet in the backyard.
"Du Shaofu, quickly hand over the foundation building pill and the blood essence of the violent stone demon wolf, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Du Chong and Du Yan also yelled loudly, for more than a month, they have been ashamed to see others, the prizes of the three of them were all taken away by Du Shaofu alone, and now the uncles of the Du family looked at them with obviously changed eyes.
They didn't even dare to go out, the fact that the three of them couldn't even take a single move from Du Shaofu had already spread to the major families, when people from the An family, Cheng family, Qin family, and Bai family saw them, Laughing loudly is indispensable, and now it is known all over the city.
