Chapter 21: Distant Relatives
Mother Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but Father Wu's face was not so relaxed!
Ay! "Gangzi, they are all from a village, if you have any skills, just announce it! Eating alone at home has always been hated! ”
Mother Wu also smiled bitterly and nodded: "Gangzi, our family is weak, don't resist hard!" Let's just eat less meat in the future! ”
If Wu Gang didn't have the True Three Worlds, he could only admit it!
When he was young, he also had three uncles, but he ran away from death, and now there are no close relatives of their family in Wujia Village! In the village, their family is also the object of bullying by everyone, otherwise the old nine and eight would not have beaten him if they wanted to!
"Don't worry, Daddy, I'll take care of it! I'd like to discuss something with you! ”
Wu's mother also asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”
Even the two girls and the two dogs stared at the eldest brother.
Wu Gang also pretended to be a little excited: "Daddy, I later went to the river to fish, and I also met Uncle Captain Vine who was catching fish, he was really powerful, he dived into the river and half a pillar of incense did not float his head, and he actually pinched two big fish in his hands as soon as he appeared!" ”
His eyes lit up, and Daddy Wu also said, "So powerful!" Presumably he is also a master of martial arts! ”
Wu Gang nodded with a faint smile, and then continued: "I saw that Uncle Captain Teng was so powerful, so I asked him for advice, and after a conversation: it turned out that his family had all fallen ill and left, and now he is also alone, and he is even more reluctant to return to the village to grieve!" This year, he lived in a stone cave and was helpless! With his ability, there is no shortage of food and clothing, but he only wants to sigh alone! So I also asked him to come and stay with us for a few days, and if it is suitable in the future, we can live together! Now he was waiting in the yard. ”
Mother Wu was stunned for a while, and she didn't know what to say for a while!
Dad was happy and worried: "Gangzi, this rattan captain can't be some kind of villain, right?" Even if it's not, he can't look down on us poor people with his ability! ”
"Yes, Gangzi, don't ask God, it's easy to send God!" Wu's mother was also worried.
Wu Gang immediately shook his head with a wry smile: "Daddy, my mother persuaded me for a long time, and Captain Teng agreed to come and live, he will definitely not be a villain, otherwise he can go up the mountain and fall into the grass without being a bodyguard with his skills!" What's more, there is something to worry about in our family! ”
In troubled times, human life is even less valuable, as long as you have money and food, you can buy a lot of servants.
After thinking about it, Dad also nodded: "That's right!" We don't have anything to worry about! But I want him to partner with us, Dad, look at it~ It's difficult! ”
"Yes, but he is kind to our family, and we can't slack off these days! Let's go, old man, let's go back now, we can't keep the guests waiting! Although there is not much hope, Wu Mu also hopes to try to keep this strongman! Let's not talk about being able to fight, if you learn his fishing skills, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to mix in the future!
Dad nodded and packed up the farm tools, and then the family hurried back.
At this time, the wooden door of the Wu family's small courtyard was not closed, and Captain Teng sat quietly on the stone pedal next to the courtyard gate.
Sitting like a pine and quiet like a bell, the thick and powerful limbs and the tiger's back and bear waist make people frightened to see from afar.
Hearing footsteps dozens of meters behind him, Captain Fuji also immediately stood up.
As soon as he saw Master Wu Gang, he immediately stepped forward respectfully, but soon his expression changed to a gentle smile.
As soon as he got closer, Captain Teng clenched his fists and said, "Ah uncle, aunt, Fuji is bothered!" ”
"Hehe~ Brother Fuji is polite, thanks to you today! You can come to the humble house, you are really a distinguished guest! "Daddy Wu has no literary talents, and he also learned this polite remark from a rich man in the village.
The master's father was so polite, which made Captain Teng a little embarrassed, but he could only pretend to be indifferent: "It's a gesture, but you Wu Gang are very temperamental to me!" I also hate to see each other late, otherwise it would be difficult to bother! ”
"Okay, Captain Daddy Vine, don't be polite, go into the house first." Wu Gang hurriedly interrupted them, otherwise he would have to be polite for a long time.
Fujimura smiled: "Haha! It's the first time I've come to the door, and I just caught some fish casually today! It will be made up tomorrow. ”
Wu Gang pulled Captain Teng forward, and Wu's mother, who wanted to speak, stopped first.
As soon as I walked to the well, the big fish, shrimp, crab and conch in the wooden barrel and basin also immediately flashed into my eyes.
"Wow, big brother, there are a lot of fish and shrimp, this~ Is this all our family?" Erya doesn't know how long it has been since she has eaten big fish, and it seems that she has eaten small fish before.
The happy Ergouzi couldn't help but reach out to try the authenticity of the big fish, he also experienced the hardships of not eating for a day, and he also knew that food was difficult!
Wu's mother's nose suddenly became sour, and she had eaten such a big fish twice, once on the day she got married, and once at the funeral when her old father died!
During the Yang Jian period and the years when Yang Guanggang took power, the lives of ordinary people were also good, and all kinds of disasters rarely occurred.
Father Wu smiled bitterly and sighed: Now he understands the ability of this rattan captain better! The people who can catch big fish in the river empty-handed are all well-known tough guys in the local area!
The two elders were in a daze again, and Wu Gang had no choice but to speak: "Mother, you have boiled the fish and dead shrimp, the family is poor, but you can't let Captain Teng go hungry." ”
"Good! Er Ya came to help Ah Mu kill the fish! "Mother Wu didn't say anything this time, she also knew that most of the harvest here belonged to this vine captain, and she couldn't exchange it for rice grain.
The sacks of fish could not leave a little water, and the two big fish were dried to death, Wu Gang did not want to eat dead fish every day.
"By the way, Dad, if you have time, you can make two dense little bamboo blues, don't let the water drain too quickly."
Speaking of these manual work, Daddy Wu smiled lightly: "Gangzi, your father is an expert in bamboo and carpentry, you wait for me to choose some old bamboo." ”
The two elders were busy, and even the two dogs were catching river crabs to play, so Wu Gang also took the village chief to take a walk around the village to recognize the road.
Although Lao Jiu was knocked out by Wu Gang again, it was only slightly injured, and now he was also sitting sullenly beside the village road in a daze.
He was still unwilling, and when he came back in the morning, he was not only kicked by the eighth brother, but also scolded by his aunt!
Usually the people in the village nodded and looked at each other when they saw Wu Gang, after all, Wu Gang usually treated them like this.
The old man sitting at the door saw Wu Gang with a strange man, and couldn't help asking, "Where is Gangzi going?" By the way, this big man is? ”
Wu Gang also made it clear to his father and mother that now Captain Teng is their distant relative in Dongxiang.
"Seventh uncle, let's just walk around, this is a distant relative of my maternal uncle's family! There have been some changes in his family, and it just so happens that the family's fields are also short of labor, and Captain Teng is now coming to my house for a short time. ”
After Wu Gang finished speaking, Captain Teng also hugged his fist towards the old man: "I've seen Uncle Qi." ”
"Haha, I've seen ~ I've seen it!" was so respectful by the big man, and the old man was also happy.
Seeing Wu Gang turn around, Lao Jiu, who was peeking in the distance, also hurriedly left, and he seemed to think of something when he was shocked and angry!
Lao Jiu was kicked away, and he still has some labor pains, and when he saw Lao Jiu running back in a hurry, his anger also burst out: "Hmph, what are you panicking, is it that you bastard is causing trouble again!" ”
If it weren't for Lao Jiu's ghost idea, he wouldn't have ended up like this this morning! Not to mention that I didn't catch a single hair, I was almost killed by a strongman!
