Along the way, the father and son were dressed in white, and when they were tired, they stopped to find a shady place to rest, and when they were thirsty, they took out their skins and drank two sips of water, after all, the weather was hot, so the two of them did not have any extra words along the way.

In a poor family, there is no spare money to rent a carriage to travel, and the broken silver saved in previous years is basically used to buy funerals and coffins for the old man, so there is no spare money, just hope that this year can not encounter a big drought year, maybe you can save some surplus food, so that Zhao Xuan will have a wedding in the future.

Coincidentally, in the early years, Zhao Xuan's parents and a couple of Zhang couples in the neighboring village promised a baby kiss, if they were of the same sex, they would marry Jinlan, and if they were of the opposite sex, they would marry when Zhao Xuan was weak. But who would have expected that the world is impermanent, Zhao Xuan and the Miss Zhang family are also childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, but the family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and they feel more and more that Zhao Xuan's poor sour boy is not worthy of his baby daughter at all, so he found a lobbyist to cancel the marriage contract, Zhao's father was unwilling, but when he saw his son hanging his son, he didn't take the marriage contract in his eyes at all, and in desperation, he had to agree to the Zhang family's repentance, and as the victim party, Father Zhao also received five taels of silver in compensation, and this matter passed like this, but no one saw the grief in the corners of Zhao Xuan's eyes.

And Miss Zhang's family has long been in love with Zhao Xuan, although Zhao Xuan's height is only more than one meter seven, and his face is not medium, he is not worthy of Miss Zhang's beauty at all, but this world is so crazy.

When she heard Zhao Xuan's way of treating herself, Miss Zhang couldn't believe that he would treat herself like this, and cried for several nights in a row, and the Zhang couple saw their daughter so sad, although they couldn't stop persuading each other, but they still married her to a big family in the city, the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, and Zhao Xuan treated herself like that, the disheartened Miss Zhang agreed to her parents, and it didn't take long for Miss Zhang to get married, and Zhao Xuan didn't know about it

Zhao Xuan, who was sitting on the ground, began to be stunned a little, remembering the good times when he was with Meng'er, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth upward.

Father Zhao, who was sitting on the side, saw Zhao Xuan's appearance and understood that Zhao Xuan remembered that the eldest lady of the Zhang family was here again, "Alas, it's just a pity that Zhang Meng'er has already been someone else's wife, this stupid boy, I already knew that he was so affectionate, why should I care about the five taels of silver." Father Zhao sighed and thought inside.

"Dad, when is it now, I feel like I want to sleep, ah-" Zhao Xuan asked his father while yawning.

Dad Zhao raised his head and looked at the sun, "No, it's almost noon, stinky boy, let you not get up early in the morning, it's better now, I see, it's good that we can go back before dark." ”

"Okay, okay, look at you, you started complaining about me again, who told you not to wake me up earlier, and now you're complaining about me again, I guess you're getting up late." Zhao Xuan said lazily.

"Stinky boy, you're still reasonable, see if I don't beat your ass and bloom." As he spoke, Father Zhao was about to pick up the flat pole in his hand.

"Eh, stop! Stop! Stop! How can you be a father like this, and you want to meet your son at every turn, what kind of grudge do I have with you?! Zhao Xuan hurriedly dodged and grimaced at his father.

"Okay, okay, I really can't take you, hurry up and eat something, let's continue our journey." In this way, Zhao's father ate something with his flamboyant son and continued to hurry, fortunately it did not rain in the past two days, and the mountain road was still easy to walk, not long after, the two came to the grave of the old man Zhao, after a period of memorial, Zhao Xuan accompanied his father down the mountain, fortunately, it was not dark when he got down the mountain, otherwise after dark, the two of them would not be scared half to death by the ghost crying wolf howl in the mountain, you know, the most respected people in the countryside are ghosts and gods, these two, annoying which one will be fatal.

Although it was not dark when they descended the mountain, it was already evening, so sure enough, the night was already dark when the two returned to the village

As soon as they entered the house, Zhao Niang supported the two of them into the courtyard, and hurriedly pinned the gate of the courtyard when she was sure that no one else was following.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xuan and Zhao Dad, who were confused, were pulled into the house by Zhao Niang.

"What's the matter, what a fuss, is it possible that the officers and soldiers are going to arrest people! But it shouldn't be, now that we are in a peaceful and prosperous era, and we live at the feet of the Son of Heaven, why can't it be our turn to join the army? Father Zhao said with a puzzled face.

"I heard that a large group of people in the West Factory went out to arrest people, saying that there is a shortage of people in the West Factory in recent days, and it is necessary to take away a group of men who have not yet been weakly crowned to cultivate, so as to serve the court in the future, you also know from the city, now the West Factory is arresting what important criminals of the court, I heard Brother Zhao next door said that many people have died recently, so ah, Xuan'er, my mother has prepared clothes, silver and something for you, you should run away now, the farther away the better, you will be a big official in the future, You can't just die at a young age! The more Zhao Niang spoke, the more excited she became, and she was about to cry in the end.

"You mother-in-law, what nonsense, isn't it a good thing to serve the court! Maybe in the future, our Xuan'er will soar! Father Zhao complained about Zhao Niang while rummaging through the burden that Zhao Niang had prepared for Zhao Xuan.

"You are in charge, this is a fatal messenger, in case Xuan'er has something three long and two short, how can you let me live" Speaking of this, Zhao Niang was already crying urgently.

"What do you know, stinky bitch"

"That's it! Stop arguing! It's endless, I think I'd better go out and see, maybe there will be some opportunity, okay mother, you don't have to worry about me, who in the village doesn't know that I'm a good hand at stealing and cheating, if there is any worry about my life, I will run out in advance, don't worry, mother, the child will be fine. Zhao Xuan comforted his mother while making his eyes look at Dad Zhao to say a few words.

"But, son, you also know that the mother of the child is worried, not to mention that this is still a fatal messenger."

Before Zhao Niang finished speaking, Zhao Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Mother, you also know that I was not born to be a willing to go to the field to farm, you and your father and grandfather don't know that the immortal master gave me a prediction for the future, I think, this time going out may change the fate of my life, even if I run away, there is no horse to let me escape from the palm of their West Factory, so Ah Niang, is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, if it is both horizontal and vertical, then I don't fight How do you know, right?" ”

After listening to Zhao Xuan's emotion, Zhao Niang pondered for a long time, and finally relented, "Alas, it seems that our family Xuan'er has grown up, okay, since you have said so, my mother is not good to say anything more, my mother will make you some dry food, and our family Xuan'er in the province is hungry on the road." ”

"Hehe, I know that my mother is the best, don't worry, mother, your son is blessed with a great life, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune." Zhao Xuan excitedly took Zhao Niang's hand and said.

"Okay, since you have made up your mind to go out and wander, I don't have anything to say about your father, come with me to the temple, there are some things, it's time for you to know." Father Zhao said with a serious face.

followed Zhao Dad out of the house, along the way, Zhao Xuan was still fantasizing about whether Zhao Dad would give him any martial arts cheats or something, but as soon as he arrived at the Zongmiao, Zhao Xuan was about to kowtow and become a fool, and after Zhao Xuan kowtowed to all the ancestors, he raised his head and looked at his father with a confused face.

"Alas, I really didn't expect that our Zhao family will also have a big name in the future!" As he spoke, Dad Zhao rotated a candlestick on the desk, and then, a secret door opened in front of Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan looked down, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Come down with me." Saying that, Zhao Dad picked up a candlestick and walked down, Zhao Xuan didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly followed Zhao Dad down.

After arriving at the dark room below, Zhao Dad lit the candlestick on the wall, and the faint light only allowed Zhao Xuan to see clearly that in this dark room of less than ten square meters, there was only the portrait of the patriarch on the wall in front of him, a table case, and a book on the table.

When there was a little light in the dark room, Zhao Dad picked up the book and walked to Zhao Xuan and said: "This is when the ancestors of our branch traveled in the past, they saw a tomb robber come out of the tomb, and before our ancestors came forward to ask, the tomb robber ran away, and when he escaped, he fell out of his arms The book called "Guiguzi", our ancestor and his old man looked at two pages and found that although the words in this book were roughly the same as the words in circulation at that time, there were a few words that were different. But it actually made the content of it even more magical, our ancestors preserved it and passed it down to this day, but unfortunately, in the process of continuous migration of our lineage, a few pages have been lost, I think this book will definitely be useful for you in the future, so you can take it with you. ”

"Okay, I got Daddy." Zhao Xuan said with some disappointment.

And Zhao Xuan's expression was all in the eyes of Zhao's father, "You kid, don't be too disappointed, since the ancestors have passed it down, there must be their reasons, and some of our ancestors have been big officials, I think it has nothing to do with this book, so ah, let's ride a donkey and read the record book - let's see!" ”

In this way, Zhao Xuan talked to Zhao's father in the dark room for a while, and then went home together
