Chapter 190: Tao Zhuang
"Send it back, every time you get the money, let the carrier pigeon, send it back." The illusion master said, and looked at the steamed bun in Hongtu's hand again.
"Hongtu, give me one." I held out my hand towards the grand plan.
Hongtu instinctively protected his food and shook his head at me.
"I'm hungry, can you get some?" I stared at him and said earnestly.
Hongtu hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, glanced at the food in front of him, and finally reluctantly took out a steamed bun and handed it to me.
I touched his head, thanked him, turned around, and quietly handed the food to the Master of Illusion.
Master Illusion hurriedly stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, and then devoured it.
"Slow down, drink some water." I handed the kettle to the Master of Illusion.
The illusion master took several sips anxiously, and immediately after, a series of coughing sounds came out.
"Ahem, ahem! Ahem, ahem! Master Phantom coughed, his originally bruised and swollen face flushed.
"Master Illusion, tomorrow evening, I will be able to come to your pottery village, can you let us borrow it for a night?" I looked at him and asked tentatively.
When he heard this, he immediately nodded: "Okay, good, if a few people don't dislike it, it's naturally good." ”
"Thank you." I hurriedly thanked him.
He waved his hand: "Girl, if you don't make a move this time, I'm afraid that I will really lose this life." ”
"It's flat, there's no need to say so much." He interjected directly, then grabbed my arm and dragged me up, making me sit beside him.
"Master Phantom, you also get up and sit here, this cushion is softer." I shifted and gave way to a position.
The Phantom Master got up and wanted to sit down, but Beilin immediately took a bag and put it on my side, allowing the Phantom Master to sit next to Hongtu.
The illusion master could only smile awkwardly, and then said to me: "What master, don't call me that, you call me Xingwang, my real name is Tao Xingwang." ”
"I'll call you Brother Tao, right?" I looked at him and felt that it was inappropriate to call him by his first name.
"Huh? Madame is polite, I can't stand it. Tao Xingwang looked at me, and his smile was indeed a little stiff.
I had no choice but to follow his wishes and call him "prosperous", and the expression on his face relaxed a little.
"But, several, when you get to my house, can you go through the side door?" Tao Xingwang looked at us and hesitated for a long time before he spoke.
Beilin's eyebrows suddenly raised: "What? That's how you repay your life? ”
"No, no, no, it's because there are some "inconveniences" in a small home? He hastened to explain, but it seemed that there was something unspeakable, so he stumbled when he spoke.
"Eat!" Hongtu looked at Tao Xingwang, and opened his mouth to say a word.
This means that he wants to go to Tao Xingwang's house to have a big meal, Tao Xingwang looked at Hongtu and put a lot of dry food on the table, and there was nothing left to eat, and he should be playing a drum in his heart, but he still nodded at Hongtu.
"Eat, when you arrive at Taozhuang, I'll prepare food for you, don't worry." He patted his chest and assured the grand plan.
When Hongtu heard this, he immediately applauded and grinned happily.
I sweated for Tao Xingwang, because I haven't seen Hongtu eat yet, and his little belly is like an abyss, which has never been filled.
The next evening, we finally arrived at Taozhuang, which was a very small village, with all the houses made of adobe and some wooden houses.
As soon as our carriage entered the pottery village, it attracted a lot of side attention.
Many people in the village opened the door and began to watch.
When Tao Xingwang poked his head out of the carriage, the curious look on his face instantly turned into a sneer with a slight "contempt" and "mockery".
I don't know if I'm wrong, Tao Xingwang himself is casual, giving guidance to floating, as if he has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze.
Finally, in front of a large house at the back of the pottery village, the carriage stopped.
When I got out of the car, I was a little surprised.
Tao Xingwang risked his life to protect the money, and I thought that his family must be very poor.
But now, the Tao Xingwang house I see is the largest and best in this Zhuangzi.
Although it is a little old, the house is very well repaired.
"Guys, I'm really sorry, you guys are waiting here, and in a while, I'll open the door for you." Tao Xingwang asked us to wait in front of a wooden door on the side of the house, while he slipped away and ran towards the main entrance of the house.
Ming Beilin raised his head slightly, looking at the house, his face was slightly gloomy.
"Shenjun, what's wrong?" I saw that Ming Beilin's expression was wrong, so I hurriedly asked.
"Nothing." Seeing that I was worried, Beilin just smiled at me.
"Squeak!"
As soon as we finished speaking, the side door was suddenly opened, and it was not only Tao Xingwang who came to open the door, but also an old lady with gray hair and a wrinkled face.
"Mother, these are my lifesavers." Tao Xingwang introduced us to his mother.
I was about to open my mouth and call out to this lady, but this lady carefully swept over the faces of several of us with her drooping eyelids and eyes.
Although that look only swept over my face, it made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"Come in." Tao Xingwang warmly invited us in.
At this time, his mother also took a step back, turned sideways, and made the way, which was considered to allow us to enter.
"How many, I'll sleep in the inner courtyard today, I'll arrange it?" Tao Xingwang led the way in front, and as soon as he said that we should live in the inner courtyard, his mother suddenly stopped.
"Sleep in the front yard." The eldest lady said bluntly: "After a while, let Xiangxiu clean up a few rooms." ”
"Huh? But mother, the house in the front yard has not been occupied for a long time? Tao Xingwang wanted to say something, but his mother raised her eyes and glared at him, he immediately stopped talking and nodded obediently.
He led us to the main hall of the house, which was much more spacious than the hall of the old village chief's house, but in this hall, there were only a few chairs, and it seemed empty.
"Sit down, I'll prepare a pot of tea." After Tao Xingwang finished smiling, he moved his body that had not yet healed and went to get us hot tea.
I screamed a few times, but I didn't stop him, so I had to let him go.
And Tao Xingwang's mother stood in front of us, looking at me for a while, and Mei'er for a while.
After looking at each other for a long time, they finally stopped their eyes on Mei'er.
"Little girl, what's your name?" She stared at Mei'er, looking very seriously, and seemed to be quite interested in Mei'er.
"Mother-in-law, my name is Huang Mei'er." Mei'er put down her burden, blinked her big eyes, and answered truthfully.
