Chapter 649: The young man is in good health
Tie Dan and the others had already set up a tent for camping, but the woman warmly invited Wang Xiang to go to the woman's house with everyone to spend the night.
The prey that Li Zhi caught just now had been let go by him, but the fish that Wang Xiang had electronyd were still floating on the stream, so Wang Xiang asked Tie Dan to pack up the fish and get into the carriage and head towards the woman's house.
The woman's father heard that Wang Xiang saved his daughter and thanked Wang Xiang a thousand times, which made Wang Xiang a little embarrassed, in fact, the woman fainted in the lake because of him.
After some introduction, Wang Xiang learned that the woman's name was Zheng Xiu'er, and her father was not an ordinary person, he was originally Zheng Xiantong, a great official of the Sui Dynasty, and later lived in seclusion here with his family after Sui Li in the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Xiang did not reveal the identities of himself and the others, but only said that the caravan from Chang'an was going to the Western Regions to buy some goods.
Zheng Xiu'er does not have many people in the family, in addition to Zheng Xiantong and his wife, Zheng Xiu'er also has a younger brother who has not returned from hunting.
Mrs. Zheng greeted Wang Xiang and Xiao Lori kindly, and they sat down to rest, and then prepared to cook.
Seeing that Wang Xiang and the others were dressed extraordinarily, Mrs. Zheng was a little embarrassed and said: "It's all some coarse tea and light rice, I hope a few people don't dislike it, and when my son comes back, he should be able to hunt some game." ”
Wang Xiang asked Tie Dan to take out the fish he had just electrocuted and said with a smile: "It's very satisfying to be able to eat a hot meal when you go out, how dare you dislike it, this is the fish we just caught in the creek in front, and the old lady just took it and made it together." ”
Mrs. Zheng did not refuse, took the fish and went back to the kitchen to prepare the meal, Zheng Xiuer also hurriedly followed to help, and Zheng Xiantong sat in the hall to greet Wang Xiang.
Zheng Xiantong was originally an official of the Sui Dynasty, and his eyesight was naturally not bad, and he felt that they were not ordinary wealthy businessmen when he looked at the costumes of Wang Xiang and Li Zhi and others, and after chatting for a while, he was more sure of his thoughts, and the general wealthy businessmen's families definitely did not have such insight and bearing, and they had already regarded Wang Xiang and others as the children of the family, and only the children of the great family would have such insight and bearing.
However, seeing that Wang Xiang didn't want to reveal his identity, Zheng Xiantong didn't ask much, he and his family had been living in seclusion here for more than ten years, and they had long since asked about the world.
After chatting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Xiu'er had already prepared a meal, but they didn't see Zheng Xiu'er's younger brother Zheng Jingzhong come back, Mrs. Zheng was a little worried: "Why hasn't Jingzhong come back yet, he has already come back at this time in the past, will something happen?" ”
Zheng Xiantong didn't worry too much, and said: "You don't know Jingzhong's ability, what can happen to him, he must be greedy and forgetful of the time, there are guests today who don't have to wait for him." ”
There are still people in the host's family who have not arrived, Wang Xiang is embarrassed to let them eat, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm waiting." ”
Zheng Xiu'er whispered comforting to Mrs. Zheng and said, "Mother, don't worry, how can there be anything in this mountain that can hurt my brother, maybe he just forgot the time when he saw something fun, and he should come back later." ”
Half an hour passed, Zheng Xiantong couldn't help frowning, an hour passed, the worry and anxiety on Mrs. Zheng's face became even stronger, and Zheng Xiantong was not as calm as just now.
"Dad, why don't I go find it?" Zheng Xiu'er whispered.
Zheng Xiantong shook his head and said: "It's dark outside, how dangerous it is for you to go out as a girl, if you don't come out for a while, I'll go out to see." ”
After another half a pillar of incense, Zheng Xiantong couldn't sit still, usually Zheng Jingzhong wouldn't come back so late even if he was greedy and forgot the hour.
"You and the prince will eat first, and I'll go out and look for it." Zheng Xiantong said a word to Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Xiu'er, and then arched his hand to Wang Xiang and said, "I'm really sorry to make you wait so long, everyone eats first, and I'll go out to have a look." ”
Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, how could he be embarrassed to sit down to eat at this time, besides, Zheng Xiantong is old, and everyone is not at ease if he goes out to find someone alone.
"I'll go out with you to find it." Wang Xiang said.
"This ......"
Zheng Xiantong hesitated, and Zheng Xiu'er next to him said, "Dad, let Wang Gongzi go with you." ”
Seeing the worry in the eyes of Zheng Xiu'er and Old Madam Zheng, Zheng Xiantong nodded, arched his hand at Wang Xiang, and said, "It's really troublesome for Prince Wang." ”
Wang Xiang smiled and said that it was okay, and Xiao Lori and Li Zhi also wanted to go out with them, but Wang Xiang refused: "Ernan, you and the young slave stay here obediently." ”
Seeing that Xiao Lori looked unhappy, Wang Xiang frightened: "At night, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, you don't want to be dragged away and eaten by jackals and tigers and leopards." ”
Hearing Wang Xiang say this, Xiao Loli was really a little frightened, and she was no longer pestered to go with her, but Li Zhi said triumphantly: "I'm not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, they can't outrun me." ”
Wang Xiang glanced at the triumphant Li Zhi with disdain, and it was really useless for a dignified person to want to run when he encountered an ordinary jackal, tiger and leopard. Because there is sufficient hedron absorption, with Li Zhi's current strength, the average mutant creature is not his opponent, let alone an ordinary jackal, tiger and leopard, the reason why Li Zhi is not allowed to follow is just for fear of accidents, he is now the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and there can be no accidents.
Seeing that Wang Xiang still didn't let himself follow Li Zhi, he was a little frustrated, but he was happy again at the thought of being able to stay with Xiao Lori.
"Tiedan, Xue Rengui, you stay here, and the others go out with me to find someone."
The surrounding mountains are very vast, and it is not easy to find a person at night, seeing that Mrs. Zheng has prepared a few dim lanterns for everyone, Wang Xiang was speechless for a while, the crude lantern is lit with flickering oil lamps, and the red cloth outside is not very transparent, and it can illuminate the range of two or three meters around, and such lanterns will be blown out as long as the wind is a little stronger, and it is not very useful at all.
"No, I've got lighting here."
Wang Xiang asked Tie Dan to go to the carriage and fetch a few powerful flashlights, and the effect was immediately amazing, which immediately surprised Zheng Xiantong and them.
"With this, it's easier to find someone, so let's hurry up."
After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Zheng Xiantong reacted, took a flashlight handed by Wang Xiang and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, let's set off." "I became more curious about the identities of Wang Xiang and others.
On the night of early spring, the cold was heavier, and Zheng Xiantong couldn't help but shrink when the mountain wind blew.
Wang Xiang and the others are all capable people, they are not afraid of cold and heat, naturally they don't care about the gust of mountain wind, seeing that Wang Xiang and the others are wearing single clothes but are not afraid of the cold at all, Zheng Xiantong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Doesn't Wang Gongzi feel cold when he only wears such a little clothes?" ”
Wang Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Young people are in good health and are not afraid of the cold. ”
