Chapter 41: The Shadow Returns
Huzi carried almost 200 catties of goods and climbed over two mountains before he stopped sweating profusely.
"Whew...... Call...... Call! Big...... Big brother, I'm ...... I can't run. ”
Wang San carried the load of goods that was originally picked up by Huzi, although he felt that it was very light, but when he caught up with Huzi, the tired state on his face was almost the same as Huzi.
"Rest...... Break! ”
After such tests, Wang San came to the conclusion that in terms of body, Huzi's current body is at least ten times that of Wang San, and his short-distance running speed is almost comparable to that of a horse.
Looking at the sweaty Huzi, Wang San felt extremely lucky, fortunately the person with this special ability was the Huzi, if this kind of ability appeared in someone like Lin Feng, it would be terrible.
After climbing two mountains in a row, Huzi and Wang San were exhausted, and the two leaned back to back, gasping for breath, and it took a long time to calm down.
"Big brother, why do you think I'm suddenly so powerful?"
"How do I know, maybe you have this potential!"
"Oh!"
Huzi looked up at the blue sky, watching the white clouds drift quietly by, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Huzi, what are you thinking?"
"I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just thinking, big brother, what are you thinking."
"Huh! Good boy, you learned to fool your big brother, haven't you? The eldest brother asked you, now that you are so powerful, what are you going to do in the future? ”
"Do you need to ask? Of course, I am a waste collector with my eldest brother, and I want to follow my eldest brother for the rest of my life, so as not to let those bad people bully my eldest brother. ”
Wang San patted Huzi's head and didn't speak again, what he saw in Huzi's eyes was sincerity, gratitude and happiness!
After resting for a while, Wang San and Huzi continued to carry the basket on the road, but the burdens of the two were exchanged, Wang San carried the smaller basket, while the thin Huzi carried a load of goods that weighed more than twice as much as himself.
In order to prevent attracting attention, as soon as you see someone in front of you, or you are about to pass by the door of a farmer's house, the burdens of the two will be swapped, and they will be exchanged when they go to a remote place.
"Yo! What a good day was it? Came back so early. Put it down, and go into the house to rest. ”
As soon as they entered the Wang family's compound, Wu Meiniang and Lai Qi hurriedly ran over to help Huzi unload the burden on his shoulders, as for Wang San, the two women ignored it!
There will be such a situation, mainly because Lai Qi thinks that Huzi is still young and treats him as his own brother, as for Wang San, Lai Qi can't take care of him a lot of times.
Wu Meiniang actually still wanted to help Wang San, but she was afraid that Lai Qi would have a misunderstanding, so she had to help her son and make a family, Huzi became the pearl of the Wang family, and was held in the palm of her hand by the two women as a treasure, and Wang San became like a boar, and she had to scream twice before anyone noticed him!
As a handsome and dashing waste collector, and still the head of the family, he suddenly found himself neglected, and there was still some baldness in his heart.
Wang San looked at the two beauties surrounding Huzi, wiping sweat and serving tea and water, and didn't ask himself at all, so he pretended to cough dryly twice: "Ahem, hey, can you also give me a bowl of water to drink?" ”
"Won't you go and take the water bottle and pour it yourself?"
Lai Qi glanced at Wang San, took Huzi into the hall, and said to Huzi softly: "Huzi, you have a good table today, I will eat more, my sister-in-law has fried a lot of meat for you, it's enough." ”
"Really, that's great."
Wang San and Wu Meiniang looked at Huzi and smiled, both of them also showed a smile on their faces, and when they turned their heads, Wu Meiniang saw that Wang San's face was full of sweat, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to help Wang San wipe the sweat beads on his forehead. But at this time, Lai Qi suddenly turned around, and when he saw the ambiguous behavior of the two, his face sank.
"Wang San, why are you two still stunned? Don't go into the house to wash your face and eat? ”
"Good!"
Reaching out and grabbing the towel in Wu Meiniang's hand, Wang San smiled slightly, made a gesture to Wu Meiniang to eat, and the two walked in together.
At the dinner table, none of the four of them spoke, and Wu Meiniang wanted to speak because she was dumb and deaf, but she couldn't speak. Lai Qi was still jealous of what happened just now, so he didn't say anything, and Wang San kept thinking about Xie Dufang's words in his mind, and he couldn't keep eating anymore. As for the tiger, his mouth has long been blocked by pieces of back to the pot meat, where is there time to talk!
A dinner full of rich meat aroma ended in this dreary atmosphere, Wang San took a bath, and couldn't sleep in bed, until he fought with Lai Qi for three rounds, he closed his eyes in a daze.
In the middle of the night, the courtyard of the royal family is as quiet as ever, and the waste products piled up in the courtyard are high or low, more or less, forming various forms in the night, which looks a little hideous and terrifying.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared indifferently in the courtyard, and as it had been the previous night, it came to the closed door.
The doors and windows were closed, and although they had been cleaned once, it had been months ago, so it was now covered with dust again.
The black shadow buried his head in looking at the iron lock on the door, took out a silver shining steel needle from his arms, inserted it into the keyhole and pounded it twice, and with a soft "click", the iron lock was opened lightly.
After opening the lock, the black shadow did not rush into the house, but cautiously looked around, and found that there was nothing like it, so he dodged in and quickly closed the door.
After about an hour, the door was opened again, and the black figure from earlier walked out empty-handed. He whispered to himself, "Strange, why did he bury that broken pot in the house?" ”
The black shadow pondered for a moment, glanced up at the room where Wang San lived, blended into the night again, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The sound of Wu Meiniang knocking on the door sounded, and Lai Qi, as usual, woke up Wang San, and the family's breakfast time came again.
"Eh, why hasn't Huzi gotten up today?"
As soon as Lai Qi came out of the room, she only saw Wu Meiniang fiddling with dishes and chopsticks in the hall alone, and she didn't see Huzi, so she asked. However, after asking, she suddenly remembered that Wu Meiniang couldn't hear it, so she had to gesture to Wu Meiniang a few times.
Since Wu Meiniang lived in the Wang family, Lai Qi has also learned some mute language, although the communication with Wu Meiniang is not very smooth, but Lai Qi can still understand the meaning of some simple sign language.
After communicating with Wu Meiniang for a while, Lai Qi finally understood that Huzi had actually gotten up a long time ago, and was now running outside for morning exercises, and it should take a while to come back.
"Hey, this kid is finally enlightened, with his body, he should indeed practice and exercise well, otherwise if he gets married in the future, how can he withstand the toss."
Lai Qi was about to go out to see if Huzi had returned, but he didn't expect Wang San to suddenly say such a sentence, and immediately glared at him fiercely.
"Hehe, why are you staring at me, am I wrong?"
"You still say, and you're not afraid of Mei Niang's jokes."
"Cut! What are you afraid of? Anyway, Mei Niang, she can't hear it. ”
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
"Huh!"
Seeing Lai Qi running to the gate of the courtyard to look outside with shame and anger, and really didn't pay attention to himself anymore, Wang San sat down at the dining table with a smile and moved his chopsticks unreasonably.
In fact, Lai Qi and Wu Meiniang didn't know that the reason why Huzi suddenly started morning exercise was completely his Wang San's idea.
Huzi is now no longer what it used to be, a body of divine power and amazing speed, if you are not careful, it will be exposed, in order to deal with it after being discovered and easy to explain, so Wang San decided to let Huzi get up every morning to run and exercise.
Wang San drank two bowls of porridge and nibbled on three or four steamed buns, but Huzi hadn't come back yet, and he couldn't help but run outside the gate to look.
"Eh, this kid, why hasn't he come back?"
"Yes, Mei Niang said that he went out as soon as dawn, it's been almost two hours, it can't be that something happened, right?"
"Hey! You, early in the morning, why do you say something unlucky? He's such a big man, what else can happen to running? You go back to the house and eat first, and I'll go out and have a look. ”
Although Wang San said it easily, he was more worried about Huzi than anyone else, he was not worried about any danger Huzi, but worried that Huzi would bring danger to others!
