Chapter 1 The Ancient Village Section 9 Gifts

There were three more people in the hall than when Lang Yu left, and the two old men were of course clan elders. There is also a middle-aged man, five short figures, dressed in a green robe, with white flowers on his chest, a dark complexion, two beards slightly curled, and a hosta pinned to his head with a bun. Very capable, with a wisdom in his eyes. Grandpa Gu said that this is the chief shopkeeper of their Gu family in the town, Gu Jiucheng, who is a member of the clan with the Gu Lei brothers, who usually takes care of the two shops in the town.

Lang Yu saw the salute one by one, Yueyue and the two of them were naturally familiar with these people for a long time, and after saying hello, they sat down next to their mother, and Lang Yu was pulled to Lu Xueying's right hand, sandwiched between her and Uncle Gan.

About 20 dishes have been placed, and the aroma of wine overflowing from the two jars of wine that has been opened is accompanied by the aroma of the dishes, which can't help but seduce Lang Yu to fight in his belly. I don't know what the wine from this other world tastes like, but today he is afraid that he will not have this mouthful, and he did not put a wine glass in front of him, Yueyue, and Gu Lei.

Langyu loves wine, and wine is heroic courage. But now he's just a child, not old enough to drink. More than a dozen eyes were focused on him, and although he didn't pay attention to it, his intuition told him that those eyes even had something inexplicable wrapped around him.

When Lang Yu was a little nervous, Gu Mo, who was at the head of the side seat, leaned forward, looked at the two clan elders, coughed twice, and said, "You three little guys only came back at this time, it seems that you don't call you, you have forgotten all about eating." As he spoke, his smiling gaze swept over Lang Yu and the three of them. finally stopped at Lang Yu, "I discussed with your mother and the two clan elders just now, I have something to tell you, something about you and Yueyue......" Lang Yu and Yueyue turned their heads sideways almost at the same time, and looked at Lu Xueying with inquiring eyes, but my mother had never said anything to herself. Gu Lei was also refreshed all of a sudden, his little face poked into the table, looked at his grandfather, and then looked at the four Lang Yu opposite.

Lu Xueying touched Lang Yu's head lovingly, and looked down at him, "Listen to Grandpa Gu." ”

Gu Moliu paused and continued: "The first thing, Yao Shi Lu and Elder Gan have agreed to be the worship elders of our Gu family, and they can stay and enjoy the treatment of the elder level at will, and I will notify everyone in the clan after the meal, and Jiu Cheng is responsible for informing the people in the town." The second thing is that Elder Lu has been living at the foot of the mountain outside the village, and now Xiaoyu has recovered from his illness and moved to Fengyuan in three days. Before that, Jiucheng was also responsible for the purchase of Fengyuan and other things, which you would purchase. ”

Gu Jiucheng stood up, "Yes," and then took a handbag handed over by Gu Mo.

"The third thing," Gu Mo nodded his hand to sit down, and then continued: "Lang Yu, Lang Yue, the two of you will change your surname to Gu from today onwards, and I will guarantee that in my Gu family, except for all of you here, no one will know your real surname, and you can practice the Gu Clan's heart trick and the Three Thousand Thunder Sword Technique." Hearing this, Lang Yu felt inexplicable, and Yueyue stood up directly, "Why do you want to change your surname, mother? ”

Lu Xueying stretched out her hand to pull her to sit down, but her face turned cold, "Yueyue, don't mess around, this is my mother's decision." ”

"I won't change it," he said, puffing out his head and not overdoing it. Of course, Lang Yu also felt awkward, but one could not express it, and the other mother must have another reason for asking to change her surname, so she didn't show it on her face.

Gu Mo smiled bitterly with some embarrassment: "Yueyue, this surname change is just a title to the outside world, and you don't need to take any responsibility for my Gu clan, you are still a member of your Lang family." In addition, this, this, and other things, Elder Lu will tell you. As he spoke, he looked at Lu Xueying.

Lu Xueying nodded slightly, and Gu Mo finally sat back with relief.

"This fourth ....... As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve, crimson red, like a box made of jewelry, only two or three inches square. Then it was placed very carefully and carefully on the table, and everyone's eyes were attracted. The people of the Gu family all stood up with a serious and respectful face, including the two clan elders, thinking that they knew this object.

The four of them all looked at the ancient patriarch in a daze, feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong. But no one knew what the ancient patriarch was going to do, so he had to wait for the following.

"I'm going to give this thing to Yu'er as a gift. Don't be surprised, this is a decision made by me and the two clan elders. ”

Gu Lei on the side jumped in happily, "Yes, brother, I really envy you, this is something inherited by the ancestors of our ancient clan, wow, I used to see if my grandfather didn't allow it, really." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the box with some fanatical fervor.

Gu Mo smiled and opened the lid of the box, Lang Yu nervously quickly gathered his mind, in his heart, everything in this world seemed to be a little weird, I was afraid that it was like that short sword, don't make a fool of myself when the time comes, but this time there was no reaction in the box.

I saw Gu Mo take out a gadget from the box and pinch it with two fingers. It's dark, smooth but not shiny. It was a tube, slightly thicker than an adult's thumb, half an inch long, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Lu Xueying raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was also a trace of shock on Elder Gan's always calm face, and the two of them looked at each other in an instant, all of which Lang Yu did not notice.

Gu Mo looked around at everyone, gently put the thing back in the box, and said: "This is a ring refined by one of our predecessors of the ancient clan, and it is not considered to be the inheritance of our clan, but this senior was also a genius once, and his natural soul power was strong, and he was used as the heir of the next patriarch. It's a pity that his predecessor was an old man and was not good at managing clan affairs, but he made extraordinary achievements in calligraphy, painting and refining utensils, so he did not succeed the patriarch later. Legend has it that he made this ring. There is only one square square space in this ring. It's not a precious thing......"

"Sure enough. Hearing this, Lu Xueying said secretly in her heart, and then stood up. "Patriarch Gu, we can't ask for this gift. ”

Gumo was still smiling on his face. As if expected, it wasn't unexpected. He stroked his white beard and motioned for Lu Xueying to sit down. "Elder Lu listened to me first, the reason why I deliberately took out this ring and gave it to Yu'er is because it is not only a simple storage tool, but also has the effect of warming the soul. I think it's the most suitable for Yu'er. Elder Lu's intention was probably that he was worried that Yu'er would have a bad idea. This is another wonderful use of this thing, it can be hidden in the body after it recognizes the master, and it is absolutely difficult for outsiders to find it, so Elder Lu does not have to worry. ”

Lu Xueying and Elder Gan were stunned when they heard this, but Lang Yu was a little confused when he saw the flowers in a fog, as if he could hear that this was also a good thing. Lu Xueying was about to refuse, but a clan elder stood up, that is, the tall clan elder on the left, named Gu Qian. "Elder Lu doesn't have to be like this, we have already accepted the generous gift between you and my ancient clan, this is just a ring of storage, the right to be the meeting gift of the Yu boy, the two elders still accept it, so that our two old men will have a little face." ”

Lu Xueying was still a little hesitant, but Elder Gan stood up, "The two patriarchs have such intentions, we have to accept this love first, Yu'er, hurry up and thank the patriarch and the two clan elders." Although Lang Yu didn't understand what the use of this ring was, he just saw that his mother and Uncle Gamble valued him so much, so he thought that he had chosen a big bargain. At the moment, he was not rigid, got up and bowed respectfully to the three of them. "Thank you grandpa". The three of them nodded frequently, and the atmosphere on the table was much more relaxed, and Gu Mo sighed as if he had completed a difficult task, beckoning everyone to eat together.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively, everyone was in a happy mood, and the three little guys involuntarily beat each other together. Although Lang Yu is an adult, everyone only thinks he is a child, so he has to sigh helplessly in his heart. It seems that this life has to start all over again, the previous life is a free and easy life, of course, it is not a rigid person, why not cultivate the avenue of my origin with a natural mind. It's just that I didn't expect that life to be alone, and I did my own thing. In this life, there are many grievances and concerns. At the moment, I have to enjoy this carefree childhood with an indifferent state of mind.

Seeing Yueyue and Gu Lei laughing and arguing sometimes, after all, they are still children, and Yueyue seems to have forgotten the unhappiness just now. I can't help but think of my childhood, practicing and reading under the master's control, wandering around, and waiting for the master's daily life.

Kind of bitter? Kind of it, but in retrospect, it was the most precious time of his life. "Maybe at the end of the world, maybe one day it's a beggar next to you. The master's words back then are still in my ears, and now that I think about it, what the master wants to tell me should be that in fact, he will always be by his side, but he didn't understand it at that time.

Then the old man who was dressed plainly and even a little sloppily came to mind. He used to be the only one, and he always liked to lean his head on the back of a rattan chair and use his thin hands to measure the sparse beard under his chin. It is as if the heavens and the earth are in the chest.

Thinking of this, he didn't feel a warm current rushing into his heart, and Lang Yu felt that his eyes were a little moist. I don't know how the master feels when he knows his current situation, I'm afraid that he will not have a chance in this life.

Gu Lei's little slippery head is also very ghostly, after the meal, a servant removed the dishes and dishes, and put the fruit plate and fragrant tea on the table, and the patriarchs and elders seemed to have to discuss some things. took advantage of this effort to take the Lang family sisters and brothers out of the hall, and pulled Lang Yu to the gate.

"Let's go, I didn't take you to the village when I came, but my brother took you to a few places in the afternoon. ”

Yueyue seemed to be his old rival, and at this time, he lost no time in "booming" on his head. "What's so interesting about this little village, I'm afraid I'm going to skip class again, grandpa......" said and shouted into the house, but the voice was not loud.

Gu Lei was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Yueyue's mouth, "Good sister, good sister." I beg you, I read books all day long, and my head is big when I see it. Just play for an afternoon, and I'll make up for it tomorrow. ”

"Wow, are you reading? I can't even remember a copy of "Hundred Family Chronicles" in a month, so it's not embarrassing. As he spoke, he lifted the little foot of Qianqianyu and kicked it on Gu Lei's buttocks, but Gu Lei blocked it with his hand, and then "hehe" flashed out with a smile.

The three of them said that they left the compound in a hurry. Although the village is small, the layout is very exquisite, the compound is independent in the north of the village, surrounded by a square of thirty or forty meters square. The neat moon-white stone paved pavement does not have a single weed. There are two main roads to the south and east and west, and the blue brick houses on both sides are lined up. Guray led the two of them all the way south, all the way out of the stone road, and along a rutted dirt road into a forest.
