Chapter 14: Back to my mother-in-law's house
Zhao Zhiyuan and the three of them all nodded and agreed with Zhang Yibo's proposal. In the following days, several people lived in Li's hometown, and Sun Xin still taught the children to read in the courtyard, like a village teacher, and everyone else followed the villagers to work in the fields. The ground is basically planted with rice, three crops a year, and it is not too intensively cultivated, and it can be planted in the field to live, and the villagers heard that Zhao Zhiyuan and several people are going to settle here, and they also helped to reclaim a few acres of wasteland.
After these few days of farming, several people began to take care of the house. The house is left by the deceased people in the village, they have lived in a village for many years, and there is no taboo, it has been repaired a little, a few pieces of furniture have been played, and the village family has something to do, and the house is cleaned up.
There are more than half of the ethnic minorities in the village, and what is the biggest characteristic of the ethnic minorities, that is, they can sing and dance. Usually at night, a bonfire is lit, and everyone sits together, singing and dancing. The rice village that crops three times a year can't eat it at all, so each family brews a lot of rice wine, and when they are tired of dancing and thirsty, they start to drink and continue after drinking. And during this time, Zhang Yibo and Xiaoqiu are about to get married, which is a major event in the village, and it is even more a song every night.
The four joys of life, today's little Dengke. Today is the day of Zhang Yibo and Xiaoqiu's wedding, the wedding customs in the village are very special, and they get married at night, this is to be able to sing, dance and drink until the next morning.
Early in the morning, Zhao Zhiyuan and the three of them went to Zhang Yibo's house to help, and Xiaoqiu had already returned to her parents' house, waiting for Zhang Yibo to marry her at night. Zhang Yibo hasn't closed his mouth since the three of them came in, and he can see the back molars with a big mouth, which is hated by Zhao Zhiyuan, regretting why he didn't bring Hao Ye, which can support Zheng Hao to death.
Zhao Zhiyuan really didn't want to see Zhang Yibo's loss of color, and he didn't need any help, so he went out to borrow Zhang Gong from the hunter's house in the village, and prepared to go to the forest to hunt some wild things, and fill two dishes for Zhang Yibo's wedding banquet in the evening.
As soon as Zhao Zhiyuan stepped into the forest, he couldn't help but glance back at the village, and there was a feeling that he couldn't leave, and he was waiting to show his feelings. Zhao Zhiyuan put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart and went into the forest.
Zhao Zhiyuan wandered around the forest for a long time, and he didn't hit a few prey, I don't know why, the archery technique that used to hit 100 shots is now only half of the hit rate, maybe it was too close to touch the bow and arrow, and his hands were raw, Zhao Zhiyuan smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
Zhao Zhiyuan has already walked to the depths of the forest, and the farther he goes, the weaker the quiet and peace in his heart in the village, and the more he wants to return to the village. Looking up at the sky, it was already past noon, and the hottest time of the day was coming, Zhao Zhiyuan turned around and was about to return to the village, when a terrible birdsong sounded over his head.
Zhao Zhiyuan looked up and saw that a bird that looked like a pigeon was standing on the branch above his head, he didn't think much about it, he shot an arrow casually, and he didn't rush to shoot, just to scare and scare it. The arrows that were shot grazed by, startling the bird away, leaving only a few feathers slowly falling and sticking to Zhao Zhiyuan's body.
Suddenly, Zhao Zhiyuan felt that his head was like being struck by lightning, and the huge dizziness made him unbearable and fainted to the ground. The sky was about to darken, Zhao Zhiyuan slowly woke up, stood up suddenly, but felt dizzy again, and had to sit on the ground, shook his head, and thought intently.
Now that he has reacted, he can't help but feel a little afraid, what has blinded them, they have forgotten the purpose of coming here, and they have blocked the connection between Qian Shouwang, and their ability cannot be used, and they have not recovered until now. Thinking of this, he looked up, looked at his body again, and twisted the scattered feathers of the bird just now, one by one, and collected them.
After collecting and putting it away, Zhao Zhiyuan didn't care about the bow and arrow and the prey, and hurriedly ran towards the village.
Returning to the village, set up this huge bonfire in the open space in the center of the village, the villagers surrounded the bonfire, and Zhang Yibo and Xiaoqiu stood in the middle, the two showed happy smiles, Li Lao was holding a wedding ceremony for them with a relieved face, Sun Xin and Fenghua were also watching the excitement in the crowd, and no one was worried about Zhao Zhiyuan, who had not returned.
Zhao Zhiyuan pushed aside the crowd, took out a feather from his arms and put it on Sun Xin's body, at this time a white figure flashed, wanting to pat off the feathers on his hands, but Zhao Zhiyuan, who had recovered his ability, had already noticed it, avoided it lightly, and put the feather along Sun Xin's collar, Sun Xin immediately covered his head and squatted on the ground, fortunately his strong recovery ability did not make him faint, but Fenghua and Zhang Yibo were not so lucky, and after being quickly put into the feather by Zhao Zhiyuan, they both fell to the ground and fainted.
The onlookers were stunned on the spot because of the sudden change, Zhao Zhiyuan stared at the white figure just now, it was the white cat that often lay on the windowsill of Li's hometown, Zhao Zhiyuan only found out at this time what kind of cat it was, just a cat-like creature, with ears longer than ordinary cats, white almost shiny, dragging a tail longer than the body, squatting there, looking at him with a little grievance. It is estimated that it should be the goal of Sun Xin and Zhang Yibo's mission this time.
Zhao Zhiyuan was about to step forward to catch this goblin, but was stopped by Li Lao, looking at Zhao Zhiyuan, Li Lao thought for a while, and slowly explained to him.
"Child, you got this feather from that pigeon-like bird, hehe, do you think that we people have lived here for so many years, can we not touch it, in fact, we all know what is going on, we all volunteer to stay here, and some people have gone out, can't stand the temptation outside, and stayed, but more people choose to come back, because life here is not given anywhere."
As he spoke, Li Lao went over and gently picked up the cat-like goblin, and the goblin snuggled in Li Lao's arms and rubbed his head gently.
"It has never hurt us, but it has made us feel happy like never before, to be honest, if it weren't for Xiaoqiu's two children, I didn't plan to keep you for a long time, I know you don't belong here, but Xiaoqiu is the top meat of my heart, I also want her to find a good home, wait a while Xiaobo wakes up, ask their opinions, I agree with whether to leave or stay, but please also look at my old man's face, let it go."
Zhao Zhiyuan hesitated a little, to be honest, he didn't know what to do, he didn't go through this matter, he didn't mean to run away when he saw that goblin, so he nested quietly in Li Lao's arms, he didn't care, he would be the fourth child if he was a big deal, and a few people would recover in a while, and it would be up to the brothers to decide.
After a while, Sun Xin stood up and looked around a little dazedly, Zhao Zhiyuan went over and told him about the cause and effect, Sun Xin was slightly stunned, lowered his head and thought for a while, and didn't say anything, first went over to feed the unconscious two people to take their own blood, woke them up, and several people got together to study, Zhao Zhiyuan didn't participate, anyway, he didn't have anything to do, let them have a few headaches, he also teased the goblin for a while, this little thing is really cute, Zhao Zhiyuan can see that it is indeed different from the goblins he met before, It's not lethal, it's more like a mascot than a human.
The three of them were still discussing there, Zhang Yibo was obviously absent-minded, and looked at Xiaoqiu from time to time, Xiaoqiu was not worried at all, but responded with a trusting gaze. Finally finished the study, Zhang Yibo also seemed to have made up his mind and came to Xiaoqiu.
"Will you come with me?"
Xiaoqiu looked at her grandfather and parents, Li Lao nodded, her parents did the same, the bonfire suddenly rose upward, illuminating her face, Xiaoqiu smiled.
"I do."
There was a burst of cheers, and the wedding continued, and everyone tacitly forgot about the goblins, singing, dancing, and finally they were all drunk and fell asleep on the ground.
A few people stayed in the village for two more days, even if Xiaoqiu returned to the door, and finally in the reluctance of the old Li family, Xiaoqiu returned to the capital with her husband Zhang Yibo and Zhao Zhiyuan. Zhao Zhiyuan and the others also kept their promise and did not take away the goblin, as for the bird like a pigeon, they can be regarded as helping you, these people can't do anything to take revenge.
Back in the capital bureau, Qian Shouwang looked at these people and was going to be happy, went out to perform the task, didn't accomplish anything, and brought a woman back, you guys are really good. At this time, I could see the mediating effect of Li Hong's deputy, while pretending to reprimand Zhao Zhiyuan and the others, while saying good things about Qian Shouwang, suppressing most of Qian Shouwang's anger, she took Xiaoqiu out to talk.
In fact, Qian Shouwang is not really angry, although it is not easy to explain to the above, but no matter how he is, he has to protect the calf, the key is a little embarrassing, the four elite soldiers under his hand were actually trapped in the mountains by a little goblin for more than 20 days, where to put his old face.
"Bozi, let Sister Li find someone to get the marriage certificate, arrange Xiaoqiu by the way, let the kitchen cook a few dishes in the evening, get together, and count the wedding banquet that our mother-in-law will make up for you." Fuck off, you guys, don't hang around in front of me, a bunch of bastards and level 3 stuff. ”
The four of them walked out of the room, Zhang Yibo glanced at Qian Shouwang gratefully when he went out, and wanted to say something, Qian Shouwang waved his hand and drove him away, Zhang Yibo rubbed his eyes, gently closed the door, and retreated.
Zhang Yibo's father died when he was young, and his mother raised him alone, and not long after he joined the 11th Bureau, his mother died of illness due to overwork before he could enjoy his happiness. Now his elder brother is the only one left, who has already made this place his home, and he has lacked father's love and care since he was a child, and he has regarded the older Qian Shouwang as his father's existence.
