Zu Zhenlin and Su Tang returned to the room, washed up, and went to bed. Zhenlin closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, opened his eyes, stared up, and felt a little turbulent in his heart. Now when you meet two brothers, you can give up your lives for chivalry. Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, I'm afraid I can't do it now, right?

Zu Zhenlin felt Su Tang beside him rolling left and right, and he didn't fall asleep, "I can't sleep, what's wrong?"

Su Tang said softly: "I'm sorry to wake you up." ”

"Nothing, I didn't fall asleep either. Why didn't you sleep yet, you're about to see your family, happy?"

"Well, I'm glad I did. I don't seem to have said thank you yet, thank you, thank you, thank you. Su Tang said sincerely.

Zu Zhenlin smiled: "Thank you, I didn't do anything, I can only eat with you and sleep with you." You should be grateful to those who have helped. ”

"I'm grateful to them, very grateful that they saved my life. But I also thank you for comforting me when I was helpless, allowing me to relax and eat and sleep with peace of mind. ”

"It's nothing, go to sleep. Zu Zhenlin touched Su Tang's head, it seems that some good things are also easy to do, and there is no need to work hard.

The night passed quietly, and in the quiet morning, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the inn, and then people shouted and screamed, and made noise. Someone started knocking on the door incessantly, shouting at the guy to open the door.

When Su Tang heard the shouting, he immediately got up from the bed, put on his shoes, and ran out.

Zu Zhenlin got up in a daze, looking at his vigorous posture, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would have such a keen skill, it seems that the people outside are undoubtedly his family. The light in the room was dim, it was still early, when Su Tang went out, he closed the door with his hand, Zhenlin didn't care about him, lay down and went to sleep.

Su Tang ran to the door and saw the black-faced guy coming out and opening the door, but he looked impatient and shouted: "Knock knock, knock what, debt collection? ”

Su Tang stood behind the guy, heard it clearly, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of being scolded by him.

The guy opened the door, his words stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly at the dozens of big men standing at the door, all with sharp weapons in their hands. In an instant, his face turned from anger to a flattering smile, "Good morning, uncles, come to the shop so early, this is a puffy glow, please inside, please inside." ”

The black-faced man's waist was already bent no longer, and he prayed in his heart that they hadn't heard what he had just said.

A figure ran past the guy and picked up Su Tang directly, "Son." ”

Su Tang's long-suppressed emotions erupted again, tears poured out uncontrollably, and he hugged his father's neck with both hands.

His father comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, it's going to be okay again." ”

Su Tang's father, of medium stature, slightly fat, wearing a blue silk shirt, has a resolute face, but now that he may have found his son, his tense heartstrings relaxed, and he felt his son's grievances, and he also had tears in his eyes.

Su Tang's father wiped away his son's tears and snot and laughed, "Look at you sloppy." ”

Su Tang also laughed.

"Let's go, take me to see your two uncles. Su Tang's father said.

"Yes. Su Tang led the way.

"Hey, have you seen enough?" said a big man at the door viciously to the guy, "I've seen enough, let's go." ”

The black-faced man bowed and smirked, slowly stepping back away.

The big men didn't enter the door either, but stayed outside.

"Are the two brothers still sleeping? What time are they? Su Tang's father pushed open the door as he spoke, and saw that the Tao brothers had woken up, lying on the bed, looking up at them.

"What's the matter, two of you? I'm embarrassed to get up under the covers, aren't you? You two are still such thin-skinned people, do you want me to go out and let you two get dressed?"

The Dow brothers smiled wryly.

Su Tang pulled down his father's sleeve, "Father, the two uncles were seriously injured in order to save me. ”

When Su Tang's father heard this, his face changed, he walked to the bed, and apologized: "Are the two brothers okay? I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the two of them would be injured, I was reckless." ”

Tao Yuan waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just that our skills are not as good as others." ”

"That hateful thief was so powerful that he could injure both, but luckily they were better. This time I really want to thank the two brothers for rescuing the dog, this is the only seedling of my family, you can rest assured, all the rest and recuperation are all wrapped up in me. ”

"We didn't worry about that, we were just a little ashamed that we didn't win, we lost, we lost, we almost lost our lives. Tao Yuan didn't hide it.

"Then ......" Su Tang's father asked somehow, for fear of hurting the self-esteem of the two.

Tao Yuan said directly: "It was because of two chivalrous men who came to the rescue that we were able to survive." ”

"Ah, yes? Where are they now? I want to thank you in person. Su Tang's father asked.

"They're also in the inn and may be leaving today. ”

"Oh, that's rude, just now in order to see you early, when I entered the inn, I made a lot of noise, and it would be a sin to wake up the benefactor. Su Tang's father said ashamedly, "I will make amends later, invite them to my home, treat them, and present gold and silver treasures." ”

"I don't think those two knights care about gold or silver, and it seems that they have something important to do and are leaving today. ”

"They don't want to be their business, if they are kind to me, then I have to show something, otherwise I have no conscience. ”

The three of them exchanged pleasantries in the room.

A fly rushed in Zu Zhenlin's room, buzzing around Zhenlin constantly, making him unable to sleep.

"Okay, have you had enough noise? It's really a problem with character to keep arguing in the morning and disturbing other people's sleep. Zu Zhenlin said dissatisfied.

"What time is it, don't you get up yet? Didn't you say okay? Su Tang's family came, we left, didn't we hear that they had arrived? Get up quickly, after eating, we are leaving. Tao Ren urged.

"It's just that they woke me up and I had to catch up on sleep. Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, don't you want me to follow?, Grandpa Tao doesn't object?" Zu Zhenlin asked as he dressed.

"Of course it's different now than before, now we are good friends, and Grandpa Tao still has to give this face. Tao Ren boasted.

"By the way, you said you were going to take care of me for food, you won't forget it, right? ”

"Am I a man of my word? You can follow me, and if I have a bite to eat, even if it reaches my mouth, I will spit out half a mouthful to you. ”

"Then I'll starve to death. Zu Zhenlin said in disgust.

Zhenlin got dressed and went out to eat with Tao Ren.

Downstairs, Su Tang's father had already found the swordsman brother and thanked him for his great kindness and asked Su Tang to kneel and worship.

When Zu Zhenlin and Tao Ren walked to the stairs, they happened to hear Su Tang's father talking.

"Two heroes, I really thank you for your life-saving grace, but this time I came out in a hurry, I didn't prepare any good things, and I didn't bring enough silver taels, I hope the two of you can go home with me, and I will be rewarded. Su Tang's father invited.

The senior brother replied: "No need, chivalry and righteousness are what people who practice martial arts should do, and we haven't thought about repaying anything." Besides, we still have something to do. ”

"But......" Seeing the benefactor's resolute attitude, Su Tang's father swallowed the words he was about to say back into his stomach and walked out of the door.

After a while, he came back and put a burden on the table of his senior brother, "Two heroes, thank you for your kindness, since you can't go back with me, then I won't be verbose anymore." But this bit of silver, please two of you must laugh at it, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy. ”

The senior brother still refused, and his mouth was just about to open. The man surnamed Ma took the package over.

Su Tang's father bowed and bowed, no longer disturbing them.

Su Tang pulled his father to Zu Zhenlin and Tao Ren's dinner table, "Father, it's this uncle and this brother who have been taking care of me for the past two days, and they also paid for someone to take care of Uncle Tao and them." ”

After Su Tang finished speaking, his father also gave a salute, "Thank you so much." ”

Zu Zhenlin stood up and said, "It's nothing, we just do our best, the drudgery is done by those two knights, we really don't dare to do it." ”

"Childe is too humble, and it is not easy to reach out to help a stranger. ”

Su Tang interjected: "Father, I promised them that the money to take care of Uncle Tao was only paid by them, and I will return it to them." ”

"Don't worry, we're just kidding. Zu Zhenlin said.

Su Tang emphasized: "If you agree, you agree, a manly husband is a man, how can he regret it, and friends should be more trustworthy." ”

Tao Ren fell into the ground, "That's it, besides, it's not your money, what are you refusing there." Su Tang, how old are you?"

Su Tang suddenly heard Tao Ren ask about his age, and he was a little confused, he didn't know what his age had to do with this matter?

"I'm nine years old. ”

"I'm eleven years old, we're friends, right?" Tao Ren asked again.

Su Tang nodded, "Of course." ”

"Then I am your brother, as a brother has nothing to say, and the money will be my greeting gift. You have no opinion, right?" Tao Ren finished speaking, and glanced at Zu Zhenlin proudly.

Su Tang's father didn't expect Tao Ren to be able to say such mature words, and he couldn't help but appreciate a little, "Since it's my brother, then I, as a father, can't fail to express it." As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to Tao Ren. This piece of jade is crystal clear, warm and smooth, and it is very valuable.

Tao Ren had the heart to refuse, Su Tang took it from his father's hand and directly tied the jade pendant around Tao Ren's waist.

"Then thank you, uncle. Tao Ren hugged his fists.

Su Tang's father saw Zu Zhenlin, touched his body, and found no treasure, so he got up and went out to find it again.

Zu Zhenlin hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, you don't have to be polite, you are like this, I am a little embarrassed to make friends with Su Tang, it seems that I have other plans, we are gentlemen's friends." Let's eat, we're all a little hungry. ”

Su Tang's father no longer insisted, "You eat first, and I'll take care of our people." ”

Su Tang's father turned around and asked a guy to arrange food and lodging for dozens of them.

"Are you leaving today?" asked Su Tang, his words full of reluctance.

"Yes, but I don't care, we're friends and we'll meet again sooner or later. Tao Ren replied.

"Really?" Su Tang's eyes flashed with hope.

"Of course, we'll meet, but you'll have to tell us your address, or we won't find you. Tao Ren affirmed.

"I may not be able to come back, I am going to travel to the mainland, I don't know when I will be back, but I think as long as I have this friendship in my heart, it is enough. Zu Zhenlin said, "And why do you have to call me uncle, do I look old?"

Su Tang said sincerely: "I see that you are much taller than the two of us, and I thought you would like this title." ”

"In the future, you will also call me brother. ”

"Okay. ”

"Let's drink this cup with water instead of wine, and then say goodbye. ”

After the three of them drank the water, they left their seats silently, Zu Zhenlin and Tao Ren went to pack their things, and Su Tang went to find his father.
