Chapter 3: A Long Conversation Through the Night
Tang Ze could also see that there seemed to be some hidden gratitude, and said, "I understand, thank you, Uncle Wu, thank you, Brother Yao, for taking it in." β
Without waiting for Tang Ze to say anything, Wu Yao said, "Great, Tang Ze, tomorrow you and I will go up the mountain to chop wood." β
Tang Ze also smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Yao, where you go, I'll go with you."
At this time, Wu Lei also spoke: "Okay, you two pay attention, I heard that there seems to be a tiger on the mountain in the east, you two should be careful." β
At this moment, the door of Wu Yao's house was opened, and it was an ordinary-looking woman with shoulder-length short hair who walked up, it was Wu Yao's mother Zhang Xiaoyuan.
Tang Ze cleverly called "Hello Auntie"
When Zhang Xiaoyuan saw Tang Ze, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and without waiting for her to say anything, Wu Lei said, "Wife, come with me", and walked into the bedroom as he spoke.
In the house, Zhang Xiaoyuan asked, "What's the situation, that kid is not from our place, how dare you bring him to the house?"
So Wu Lei told Zhang Xiaoyuan the reason and process of this incident.
"Alas~ It's really a poor child, but our family also has difficulties, do you really want to keep him, it's okay, I listen to you. β
"Leave Xiao Tang behind, he also said that he won't live here forever, and I think Xiao Tang and his son are very compatible, don't you think your son is so old and doesn't have any friends, don't you think your son is very pitiful?"
This passage really touched Zhang Xiaoyuan, knowing that although he always knew that his son didn't say it, he was really lonely, just because his husband was the only foreigner in the village, and his son had been isolated without a friend since he was a child, which was really sad for a sixteen or seventeen child.
"It's too late today, let's take Xiao Tang to the village chief early tomorrow morning, our place is not big, so I'll pack up and let Xiao Tang live in my son's house." β
In the third watch at night, in Wu Yao's room, Tang Ze lay on the floor next to the bed, lying in a strange posture with his hands on his head and pillows on his body, this is a small habit he had in his previous life, he always likes to hold something when he sleeps, so that he can often fall asleep quickly, but now he can't sleep anymore.
He is no longer there, just came to this world of confusion and overwhelmed thinking of the only thing in his mind is to cultivate immortals, remembering that in the novel of his previous life, all things are quiet, all beings surrender, he stepped on the breeze, fell from the sky, fell colorful, floating flowers like rain of immortals, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to start cultivating immortals immediately, but he also knew that this unrealistic safety was what the novel said that at least there must be a practice to do it.......
At this time, Wu Yao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke: "Tang Ze, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, what's wrong, Brother Yao?"
"You know what? I've never been out of the village since I've grown up, and I'm really curious about what it's like out there, and it's rare for you to tell me about it. β
"This ......" Tang Ze thought to himself, you haven't seen it, you may know that I have been in this world for less than a day, but he can't say that he can only change the topic head-on.
"Alas~ Brother Yao, it's not interesting to say this kind of thing, the real outside is to rely on your own eyes to see and ears to hear. β
"Really, then Tang Ze will take me out with you when you have a chance in the future. β
"Woo woo woo~ I want to hear your father say that the demon beasts are raging outside, can we both live?" Tang Ze thought to himself
"Hehe, Brother Yao will definitely take you to see it when he has a chance in the future, oh, by the way, Brother Yao, your father said that the people in your village are very xenophobic, why is this?"
"Because the so-called treasure of our village is the tea of our mountain tea village, the spiritual tea specially planted for the immortals, don't look at the fact that everyone in our village drinks this tea seems to be not very valuable, but if you take it outside and sell it and say that it is worth a fortune, it is definitely not an exaggeration at all, so there are always people who try to steal the tea. β
"Brother Yao, has your tea been stolen?"
"Yes, there is only one Chen Jiaotou in our village who really knows martial arts, and no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to prevent everything, not to mention that he can be regarded as a second-rate master at most, I heard that all kinds of thieves on the rivers and lakes have stolen the spiritual tea of our village, and even there have been arrogant masters in the past, and they went away directly after grabbing with speed, and no one can help him. β
"Then I want to ask if the tea in your village is so valuable, aren't you afraid that hundreds of people will come to grab it? And listen to you, your Chen Jiaotou's martial arts are not very good, I'm afraid he won't be able to parry ten or twenty of them, right?"
"That's what you don't know, those thieves only dare to steal tea and don't dare to hurt people, we can be protected by the immortals by planting tea for the immortals, which is also the reason why our village can stand in this barren mountains and mountains, according to the immortals, there are magic circles around our village, and the demon beasts are not able to enter, but it does not affect us mortals and ordinary beasts, stealing a little spiritual tea, the immortals don't care, but if you dare to hurt people, you will violate the bottom line of the immortals, even if you run to the ends of the earth, so you say that it is even more impossible for hundreds of people to attackγ β
"Brother Yao, do you mean that the reason why your father hesitated was because he was afraid that I would steal your spiritual tea?" As soon as he finished saying this, Tang Ze felt that it was very inappropriate, and people were obviously kind enough to take me in, but I thought so and said it.
But Wu Yao didn't care, "We really don't think so, but other people are different, you also know that our village is very recruiting thieves, so the people in our village are very disgusted with outsiders, and they generally don't even let outsiders into the village." β
"Then Brother Yao, why didn't your family drive me away?"
"It's your own luck that so many families in the village have found our family. β
Tang Ze was immediately puzzled: "Is there any difference between this Brother Yao, your family and other people's families?"
Wu Yao's feelings were a little complicated and said: "Because my father was not from our village before marrying my mother, for this reason, my family has been targeted by most of the villagers for so many years, so we don't want to watch you driven away by the villagers, and you are driven away, in fact, the feelings are light, there are many times when some outsiders come to our village, because of Chen Jiaotou's bad attitude, the two sides fought, Chen Jiaotou said that they are here to steal the spiritual tea, but in my opinion, they are simply wronging good people, many of them are just passing travelers." β
"Brother Yao, I don't think your opinion is entirely right for good people, maybe not as much as you think, since the spiritual tea in your village is so valuable, it's always right to be careful. β
Wu Yao sighed in a complicated way, "Sigh~ What you said is not unreasonable, but in my opinion, the reason is still due to Chen Jiaotou's barbaric domineering and unreasonableness. β
"I don't know much, but Brother Yao, I think you seem to have a big opinion of your Chen Jiaotou?"
"It's okay, I'm sorry to tell you so much at once, maybe my brain is a little messy, go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow." β
Seeing that Wu Yao was no longer interested, he didn't have the interest to continue, so he didn't ask. "Got it, good night Brother Yao. β
