Chapter 754: It's Hard to Return Home
Chai Dong was stunned, and Chunzhi was also stunned.
The joy of returning home was shattered by this menacing announcement.
The eldest grandson, Ming Xiaozi, who returned to his hometown with them, turned over and dismounted. "In the back carriage is the Zuodu Yu Shi Chaidong, who has returned to his hometown, and the eldest princess of the northern country. If you know each other, give way quickly! β
Ming Boy is also in his twenties now. He has been by Chai Dong and Li Xiaozi since he was a child, and he has a great bearing. Li Xiaozi has already decided that after Shai Dong is settled in Wangjia Village this time, he will be given a position in the court. Therefore, although Ming Xiaozi is not young, he did not participate in the imperial examination.
The half-grown boy who stood in the way listened, but his reaction was to laugh out loud.
"What Zuodu Yushi, what the eldest princess of the Northern Kingdom, I haven't heard of it! You must have gone to our house to be abducted again, so I won't fall for you! β
As he spoke, he took out the big stick that he had hidden behind him. "Brothers, give it to me, and beat away this group of bastards with bad intentions!"
As soon as his voice fell, he saw fifteen or sixteen boys about the same age as him jump out of the woods beside him. This one of them even had a big stick in his hand, and he ran towards them without saying anything.
Seeing this, Ming Xiaozi's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Grandparents, be careful!" β
But don't be careful. Because as early as the moment when this group of children rushed over, several kittens who were originally lying on the roof of the car basking in the sun jumped off the roof of the car and went straight to the boy at the front.
Actually, the kitten didn't do anything. It just pounced on its face, kicked it on its hind feet, and before it could show its claws, the boys were scared to the core.
"Cat demon! This is a cat demon all the time! β
"Ahhh
β¦β¦
Suddenly, a group of boys who were still menacing just now suddenly changed their faces. They quickly dropped their sticks and ran towards the village with a shout.
After a while, there were only sticks left in front of me, and a few frightened kittens.
Ming boy was also stunned.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this, Chai Dong gently supported his forehead and instructed his grandson: "Don't worry about that for now." Keep going! β
"Yes." Ming Xiaozi hurriedly answered, and ordered the coachman to drive to the village.
Not long after they entered the village, they saw another group of villagers rushing towards them with hoes and sickles.
"Daddy, look, the cat demon is there, hiding among them!"
The boy who had run away before reappeared in the crowd. He poked his head out from behind an adult, pointed his arm at Haruka and them, and immediately retracted his head and arms with a thud.
The group immediately walked towards Harukeda.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our Wangjia Village? The strong man in his thirties at the front of the line asked viciously.
Ming boy replied patiently again.
Who knows, the strong man sneered directly after hearing this: "Zuodu Yushi? The eldest princess of the northern kingdom? Haven't heard of it! Where are the liars, you hurry up and let me go! Otherwise, be careful that the hoe in my hand is not welcome! β
"Second uncle, be careful, there are cat demons in them!" The boy poked his head out again and said.
The strong man sneered. "What a cat demon, that's all bluffing you children! Our Wangjia Village is blessed by the cat god, and in our village, no Yao ghost can use their magic skills! β
What is this?
Harue can't stand it anymore. She said to Yadon, "Go and ask him, what is his father's name?" β
Yadong went out to ask, but he didn't expect the strong man to respond coldly: "Can you know my father's name?" Don't think you're going to scare us by pretending to be like this. I'll say it again, you guys get out of here! Otherwise, you're welcome! β
"Okay, then let's see, who's welcome!" Chai Dong was impatient, and he shouted directly, "Xiao Hei." β
Immediately, several pitch-black cats jumped out of his carriage.
That's right, since Xiao Hei passed away, Chai Dong has been obsessed with raising black cats. And his cats are all called Xiao Hei, but which one he is called, only he and the black cats know. But now, his little black voice is all the black cats who are screaming.
The black cats received the order from his mouth, and they immediately jumped out of the carriage and lined up in front of their group. They arched their bodies in unison, grinning their sharp teeth and whimpering menacingly. Just wait for Chai Dong's order, and they will fly forward!
"My mother!"
Seeing this scene, those villagers were immediately frightened.
"Cat demon! The cat demon is really here! β
Immediately someone in the group shouted, and then some of the cowardly ones had already dropped what they were in their hands and ran away.
When the others saw this, they did not dare to move.
Immediately, the black cats slowly moved a step forward, and the strong man took a step back with the villagers. Haruka and their horses followed and walked slowly forward.
On this part of the way into the village, Haruka remembered that they used to walk only a hundred paces, but they walked a full stick of incense.
However, it is also thanks to this slow walk that she can take into account the changes in Wangjia Village for the first time - in a flash of decades, Wangjia Village has changed a lot. Almost every household in the village has built a new house, and the house is spacious and large, at least there are three or four rooms, and the walls are painted, and it looks very energetic.
And along the way, she found that there were more than twice as many people in the village as in the past. The vacant land on the side of the road has now been built. Densely packed, leading to the two large houses in the middle of the village.
On the left hand side is the old house of the patriarch of the Wang family, and a little further on, on the right hand side is the Chai family house where Chunzhi and the others once lived.
This house is still the same one they lived in, except for a new layer of powder on the exterior wall, there is hardly any change in the other.
"It seems that Chu Xu did not cut corners at the beginning, this house is really strong." Seeing this, Haruka nodded secretly.
When he saw this old house, Chai Dong was also obviously excited.
"Phewβ"
Ming Boy stopped his horse at the door of this house.
He threw the reins to the servant, and then walked to the side of the carriage: "Grandpa, grandma, it's here, you two please dismount!" β
Seeing this, the villagers who retreated step by step instantly became like a great enemy.
"Who are you? What do you mean by stopping at my doorstep? The little boy hiding in the crowd finally couldn't take it anymore and he jumped out and shouted.
Ming boy immediately raised his eyebrows. "This is your home? Your grandfather is Wang San? The big name is the king sickle? β
"How do you know my grandfather's name?" The defensiveness on the boy's face suddenly became heavier.
Ming Boy smiled. "Not only do I know his name, but I also know that this house was originally surnamed Chai, and this house, along with the Chai family's 100 acres of land, was rented to your grandfather at the price of two taels of silver a year. And now, our Chai family is back. β
After saying this, he smiled and waited for the other party to react.
I thought that they had already said it so clearly, and the other party should have understood it. Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, the boy jumped up: "You are talking nonsense!" This is my family's house, and our family has lived here for more than 30 years! All those lands are mine! What is the surname Chai? I haven't heard of it! β
Ming Boy's face immediately sank.
"Haven't heard of it?" He whispered, "Oh, I remembered. It seems that the rent of two taels of silver per year promised by your family has not been paid for more than ten years. β
"My nephew is right, these are our family, not rented! In that case, why should we pay rent? Where did you come from, and where did you come from to make up a bunch of nonsense to come to us to deceive our house and land? I'm telling you, no way! Even if you don't know where to get a few cats to scare us, we won't be deceived! The strong man among the villagers shouted.
Even, he brandished the hoe in his hand.
"Big cats, two cats, three cats, four cats......" he called out several names in a row, and then shouted loudly, "Come out for me, bite these stupid cats who don't know how thick the sky is!" β
Immediately, I heard a meow meow, and sure enough, many cats jumped out of the backyard of the house and went straight to Haruka.
