As soon as I entered the house with the yellow mouse, I found that only my mother was at home, and she was sitting on the wooden couch chatting with Aunt Liu in the Zhuangzi there.

I threw my bags on the ground and shouted!

"Mother!" As soon as my mother heard that it was my voice, she suddenly turned around, and then cried out with a snort, quickly got up, ran to me and hugged me tightly, and said in a choked voice,

"Lin'er, you're back! You want to die to your mother, after so many years, you haven't even sent a letter to your mother, are you still angry? ”

I held back the tears in my eyes and hugged her deeply, like hugging the whole world.

"Mother, how could I be angry with you?"

"Come, let my mother take a good look! I've grown a lot taller... I've lost weight, too... The muscles and bones are quite strong! ”

I forced a smile, trying to lighten the mood, and said to my mother,

"Mother, where's my father?"

"Your father's dead ghost went to Ge Erdan's house to drink, I'm going to ask someone to call him back, let's have a good meal today!"

When the time was ripe, the weasel came up too,

"Godmother!"

My mother didn't recognize it at first, and she squinted her eyes and looked at it for a long time before she knew that it was her godson Fang Cheng,

"Oh, it's Cheng'er, you've grown taller, you're so much taller than Xiaolin, hehehe, my mother almost didn't recognize it, I thought it was who it was when I first came in,

Okay, no one is allowed to leave tonight, Cheng'er, you go and call your father over, today, let's have a good meal and wash the dust for the two of you! ”

......

......

Today's dinner is extraordinarily rich, my mother in order to let me and the yellow rat eat a good meal, specially sent someone to Zhuo County to invite two chefs to come, our family took care of themselves to put the eight wooden tables together, forming a long table, collectively sitting cross-legged opposite each other,

I didn't see my dad for a few years today I was very happy, and I toasted to everyone again and again, and then I learned that my dad had a little problem with his body, and my mother didn't let him drink too much, I wanted to take advantage of today's day to drink more,

Fang Laohan didn't drink much, and after drinking a few glasses, he felt a little drunk, and tremblingly raised the wine cup in his hand and said to my father,

"The main family is magnanimous, let my son study with the little master, the old man has been a farmer all his life, he is stupid, and he won't say anything decent about the scene, let me salute you with this glass of wine!"

My dad stretched out a hand and grabbed his wrist holding the wine cup and said,

"It's all my own family, so why bother talking about this? Come on, do it! ”

The meals of the reunion are always so sweet, eighteen roasted dishes, two stews, and a soup, thinking of so many green root vegetable leaves that I have eaten in the clouds over the years, my tears are about to fall, regardless of whether I drink or drink, gobble up and eat indiscriminately,

And the weasel eats the opposite this time, but it is much more elegant than me, a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and the main attack on the braised pork knuckle again and again, listening to my father and them talk to the hearty, you can also interject a sentence.

After a stormy meal, I wiped my mouth with a towel, puffed my teeth and said,

"Tsk... Hiccup, Daddy, the day after tomorrow is my crown, what are we going to do? ”

My dad drank with a red face and a thick neck, and with the strength of the wine, he waved his big hand,

"That's... Needless to say? My son, son, son! You have to make it look decent, but it can't be like Lao Tzu back then, in my opinion, there will be a hundred tables for a banquet! Invite all the people in the Zhuangzi to me,

Who's that, hurry up, go write a post now, ah, send it one by one from door to door, and who else is that? Small square! Your crown ceremony is a few days later than Xiaolin, so let's do it together the day after tomorrow.

It will also save your father, and come to me to borrow money when the time comes! Hiccup..."

This person who drinks a lot is particular about doing things, although these few words are stammering, but how can they sound so good in my ears.

This banquet and hospitality, there is a saying, how many tables are set, how many guests are invited, it all depends on your prestige and financial resources, the more people come, the more lively it is, which proves that you are a good person, on the contrary, when you are doing things at home, you can't even invite a few.

This proves in reverse that you are not very popular. When friends do errands, when they call you to go, most of them are money, and there is no money to support people.

After hearing this, the yellow squirrel quickly got up and saluted my father, "Thank you, godfather!" ”

Old Man Fang also raised his wine glass and stood up,

"Thank you, Master!"

My father said, "Hey, Xiao Fang is my righteous son, and I should do this, no need to thank you!" ”

This table of meals is very happy, even the mother who doesn't drink alcohol, tonight is also drunk and drunk, a large family giggles, until the time of the child slowly dispersed,

In the end, the weasel helped Fang Laohan to go home, and after drinking so much wine, it is estimated that the two Nizi could not escape his clutches, and I drank a little too much, and walked back to my room in a daze,

When I entered the door, I was just about to lie on the couch when I found a delicate small box on the wooden cabinet opposite me, which was the box that used to contain the "Secret Art of Lotu".

I stepped back on one of the shoes I had just taken off, stepped forward to the cabinet, picked up the wooden box, and suddenly found that there was no dust on the box.

I smiled slightly, and sat back on the wooden couch, my slightly drunken eyes squinting,

The texture of the box is still so smooth, I gently stroked it, as if caressing my lover, the four small carvings on it are indeed the four holy beasts of Taoism, "Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Green Dragon, White Tiger,"

It's just that compared to the four on the Divine Beast Platform, it is much, much smaller. At this time, I suddenly remembered the scene of seeing my master angry in a dream, and I didn't understand what this box had to do with my master.

And I always felt that it wasn't a dream, because everything was too real, even the feeling of drinking water and vomiting was no different from reality.

"Stinky boy, why don't you sleep after drinking so much wine?"

It turned out that my father walked in, looking at the old guy's eyes, it is estimated that he has not drunk yet, and the expression at the banquet just now is pretended.

I asked cautiously,

"Is my mother asleep?"

"Hmm."

My dad nodded, and sat down beside me, looking at me with big, slightly wrinkled eyes.

"Yes, I have indeed grown up a lot, come, tell my father, what have you learned in the past few years?"

"Harm, it's not just the Taoist doctrine, and I can't understand it when I tell you."

I was impatient and perfunctory, mainly because I was afraid that my father would ask something, after all, I would never say anything about joining the Tomb Sect.

Seeing that I was not interested, my father didn't ask, and smiled slightly,

"Hehe, okay, then rest early, there is still a big drink to drink the day after tomorrow."

After that, he patted my thigh, got up and walked out, I don't know if it was my delusion, I always felt that my father's eyes were always glancing at the wooden box in my arms, intentionally or unintentionally.

I shook my head, threw these complicated thoughts out of my mind, kissed the box surface, put it next to my pillow, and drifted off to sleep.
