42 The Crossing of the Mysterious Visitor
In the afternoon, Zhuang Xiaochu and Wu Weichen went to the street for a walk, and as soon as they returned to Huazizhuang, they were surrounded by brothers.
The old gentleman said with red eyes, "I'm sorry. I have already told them, owner. Zhuang Xiaochu understands that everyone knows.
Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Brothers, I have to go home. There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. After so many years, I really thank you for your help and love for me. There was a cry from below.
Xiao Qi pulled Xiao Yueying and cried and said, "Brother, don't go, you go, what should we do? What about Moon Shadow? Moon Shadow has no father, don't go." Can you bear to see me and Moon Shadow become orphans and widows?"
Chunxi said: "You are not allowed to go, you have to leave, why did you marry me in the first place, let me go crazy." Now that you have married me, you have to be responsible for me, and you are going to leave me behind, you are forcing me to a dead end. ”
All the beggars are saying: "Owner, don't go, if you leave, what should Huazizhuang do? ”
The brothers all shouted the same words: "The owner stays, the owner stays." Slowly the voices unified, and the voice was neat and loud.
Zhuang Xiaochu looked at his brothers, his throat tightened, and he couldn't speak.
Xiao Qi said to Moon Shadow, "Kneel down for your father, and beg him not to go." Moon Shadow cried and knelt down, Xiao Qiyi knelt down, and Chunxi also knelt down. Lao Lu knelt down, and the begging brothers followed and knelt a lot, and then Zhu Laosi and lame Li knelt down, and the other people in the village also knelt down.
The other children all came out, not understanding the reason, they were afraid, and they were also infected and they all knelt behind them, and they were crying. The old lady also came out on crutches, tears flowed, stomped on crutches and said, "You want to be angry with me, you want to be angry with me." ”
Surrounding the old gentleman and Zhuang Xiaochu, people knelt on the ground with hula and cheer. Zhuang Xiaochu hugged Moon Shadow up, his eyes were already red. Outside the crowd, Wu Weichen looked surprised.
Zhuang Xiaochu asked everyone to get up first. The people said, "If the owner doesn't agree, we won't get up." ”
Old gentleman: "Master, you can stay." ”
The old lady said, "Godson, stay here!"
The people who look at the place are all people who have experienced ups and downs together for several years, and they are all relatives.
Shoulder to shoulder, they built this Huazizhuang full of memories with their own hands;
Together, they survived the disaster and survived that unforgettable time of hunger.
......
Looking at the double limit of everyone's crying and swollen eyes, Zhuang Xiaochu wiped a handful of tears, and finally nodded: "I'm not leaving, I'll stay." I can't bear each of you, you are all my dearest and dearest people. ”
Everyone began to relax, and several little brothers glared at Wu Weichen and threatened to drive him away, thinking that he was inciting the owner to leave.
The owner said: "It has nothing to do with him, it's my own reason, let him stay, and in another three months, I will personally send him away." Since I promised my brothers to stay, I will definitely stay, I will not go back, and I will be with you in the future. ”
Wu Weichen stayed, and entertained him with delicious food and drink. But there were always two brothers who followed him spontaneously. Chunxi didn't go back to Yang Ji Pharmacy anymore, asked the guys to send some daily necessities, and also lived in Zhuangshang, she and Xiaoqi took turns to follow Zhuang Xiaochu, and the two of them were unprecedentedly united and harmonious, which made Zhuang Xiaochu cry and laugh.
Zhuang Xiaochu didn't go back, so he wanted to bring some letters and things back to his family, and discussed with the old gentleman and Wu Weichen, but he didn't know if he could bring them, and he felt that it should be no problem to grab two small things in his hand and bring them, so he could give it a try.
As soon as Zhu Laosi lame Li and Master Fan heard that they brought something to the owner's parents, they took out all the valuable gold, silver, and antique jade, but they hated not to bring more. Because other things were afraid of being damaged, I finally chose two small objects: a golden unicorn with exquisite workmanship the size of half a palm, and a small bronze teapot with patterns on the top and bottom, both of which were not large.
Zhuang Xiaochu gave the golden unicorn to Wu Weichen and told him that it was an antique, the workmanship was exquisite, and it would be worth a lot of money if he went back and sold it, which was enough for him to do a business in Shanghai. Wu Weichen was naturally grateful.
He handed the small bronze teapot to Wu Weichen, and asked Wu Weichen to send the small teapot to his house and hand it over to his parents. Tell them that Zhuang Xiaochu lives abroad. The address made Wu Weichen remember it again and again.
Zhuang Xiaochu found the thinnest brush and wrote a short message:
Mom and Dad:
I am now living abroad, and everything is stable and thoughtless. It's just a long way to go, and I can't go back to visit. Today, a friend brought back a copper teapot, this small teapot is an antique, very valuable, you take it to the ancient Shizhong market and sell it, and use the money from the sale to spend your old age. Take care!
Love your sons
Zhuang Xiaochu
Afraid that Wu Weichen would forget, he wrote the address on the back again, wrapped it in oiled paper carefully, stuffed it into the copper teapot, and fixed the teapot spout and lid firmly.
Wu Weichen was naturally very grateful to the owner and the old man, he said: "Don't worry, I will often visit the two old men, even if these two valuable things can't be brought over, I will definitely visit." ”
The day of return has finally arrived. The moonlight is like a fog, and the cool breeze is blowing. Everyone came to the well, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the others were closer to the well, only the owner of the village was firmly held by Xiao Qi Chunxi's arm, far away from the well.
Zhuang Xiaochu said: "I'm not leaving, don't you still believe it?"
Xiao Qi Chunxi said: "We can trust you, if you say you can't leave, you will definitely not leave." We're afraid you're too close to the well, in case Wu Weichen leaves later, what kind of black hole did you say take you away. ”
At 11:11:11 p.m. on November 11, because Wu Weichen didn't need to swim, the old gentleman sent someone to tie Wu Weichen with hemp rope and slowly put him into the well on time.
Wu Weichen firmly grasped the two treasures in his hands, and his body slowly sank in the well water.
For a few seconds, Wu Weichen smiled and said to everyone: "Thank you." And then it was gone.
In the water, only the long hemp rope was whirling.
Illuminate the well with a torch, the well is very deep, but it is crystal clear, there is no Wu Weichen, and there is no golden unicorn and copper teapot. Everyone was amazed, they had never seen such a thing, a big living person, in the blink of an eye, actually disappeared.
Zhuang Xiaochu knew: This was Wu Weichen who had crossed back, and took away the golden unicorn and the copper teapot. I hope that Wu Weichen can travel back smoothly, go to see his parents on his behalf, and bring the teapot and the letter. I hope that my parents can no longer worry about themselves and spend their old age in peace.
