Chapter 297: Back to Tan City
Liao Huaixian had already heard about Xu Lai from Cai Fei's mouth, and after seeing him, he was excited again. After all, for any mage, a figure like the Heavenly Master's Mansion is always a legend.
Later, I heard Cai Fei say that Pei Xueqing's brothers and sisters had returned to Jiangning and were still living in the original villa. Cai Fei also went to look for them after he came back, Pei Xueqing was fine, and asked him about Xu Lai's whereabouts, then Pei Xueyi was completely grimacing, and she drove people away coldly.
Halfway through, Xu Lai also took the time to look for Xu Chengcheng.
This little girl couldn't contact Xu Lai for a while, and she was worried about it, but she was relieved to see him return safely.
The two had dinner together, and Xu Lai asked her how her family was doing.
Xu Chengcheng said that it was all good, but looking at the little girl's expression, she seemed to have some doubts.
Xu Lai asked her if something had happened, Xu Chengcheng hesitated for a moment, and said that nothing had happened, she just felt that something was not normal at home recently.
Moreover, that Master Ge has been coming to the house very often recently, and often talks about things with her father in the room until late at night, and she has noticed it several times.
Xu Lai knew that although his sister was introverted and shy, her mind was very delicate, and since she noticed it, it must be really special.
"Don't worry, you can find my brother if you have something." Xu came to comfort.
"Hmm!" Xu Chengcheng nodded, she had been thinking about it all this time, but as soon as she saw Xu Lai, these worries and fears disappeared again.
Later, Gao Wen and Tian Tian knew that he was back, so they also ran over and had a supper together.
More than a week has passed.
Chen Duo has been hanging around with the two little girls for the past few days, and he is also a little tired, and as soon as he got up from bed this morning, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
When I opened the door, I saw Xu Lai standing outside the door with Xiao Hei in his arms and a backpack.
"You're going out?" Chen Duo asked.
"Yes, go back to your hometown, Xiao Hei will be on your side for a few days." Xu said.
"Oh." Chen Duo took Xiao Hei over, "Aren't you a local?" She remembered hearing about it before.
"Some relatives are in Tancheng, go back and have a look." Xu said.
"Oh, Tancheng, then you go, leave the key, and I'll show you the Wuji map." Chen Duo said.
"Landlord, you're getting more and more professional, I didn't say you know everything."
"You're missing!"
After Xu Lai took the elevator down, he took a taxi at the entrance of the community and went straight to the station.
On the way, I received a call from Tang Tang.
"I just got downstairs, where are you?"
"I've arrived at the station, waiting for you at the door." Tang Tang said.
"It's pretty fast."
"That's a little faster than some." Tang Tang smiled and said, "Have you thought of a countermeasure?" ”
"What?"
"They, even if others don't ask, Sister Mingzhu will definitely ask." Tang Tang said.
"Or do you say that they went to Nanyang, and they are crazy and reluctant to come back?" Xu Lai proposed.
"So that's what I said?" Tang Tang asked.
"Don't mess with you......" Xu Lai said casually.
After thinking about it for a while, the two still didn't come up with any good reasons.
"Hurry up, I'll take a break." Tang Tang said.
"Isn't that what you should think? Sister Mingzhu must be asking you. ”
"You're an apprentice, of course I'm asking you." Tang Tang said.
"Apprentice or daughter?"
"Apprentice!"
"......" Xu Lai was speechless.
After the two arrived at the station, they got on the train together, and the ticket was bought by Tang Tang in advance, which happened to be next to each other.
Tang Tang sat by the window, enjoying the scenery along the way with great interest.
"Sister, you take a lot of trains, right?" In the first two years, Xu Lai would often sneak down the mountain with her and run all over the world, so there were many opportunities to take the train.
"The scenery on each road is different, I haven't sat on this one." Tang Tang is not tired of it.
Xu Lai was not interested, and slept there for a while, but was soon quarreled by the phone.
"Is it Wangcai? Where is she? After he hung up the phone, Tang Tang asked.
"This guy just got off the plane, so he probably arrived earlier than us." Xu said, yawned and continued to sleep.
When Xu Lai was young, from Jiangning to Tancheng, he took a passenger car or an old-fashioned train, often for more than a day.
Now with high-speed rail, almost more than four hours is enough.
At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the train arrived at Tancheng South Station, and after the two left the station, they took a taxi and went straight to Sanhua District.
"It's a big change."
The two searched all the way, but found that some of them could not find their way, and many of the places they were familiar with had been demolished or high-rise buildings had been built.
"Do you want to eat pancakes?" Xu Lai found a pancake and fruit stall on the side of the road.
"Eat, I'm going to add two eggs." Tang Tang was very happy to look for it.
In the end, the two of them each took a pancake fruit, and while eating, they searched for it, and finally found the door of the house.
"Isn't that wrong?" Xu Lai stood at the door, a little afraid to enter.
"That's right, right here, I've seen the pictures." Tang Tang is very sure.
The two went in, and sure enough, they saw a three-character signboard with white characters on a black background hanging in the courtyard, but it was not "Corpse Fangzhai", but "Shufangzhai".
And this yard and the house are completely different from before, they look brand new, and they must have just been rebuilt.
"I heard Sister Mingzhu say that now the management is stricter, and I think our original signboard is a bit scary, so I don't use it, so I changed the name." Tang Tang said.
"Oh, that's it."
The two were sighing, when they saw a fat man coming from the corridor, holding a basin in his hand, and two large watermelons in it, walking out of breath.
"Uncle Lionhead!" Tang Tang immediately waved his hand.
"Ouch, I'll go!" The fat man screamed, this excitement, the basin was thrown out by him, seeing that the two watermelons were about to hit the ground, he suddenly had a big belly, and fell directly to the ground, and directly took the watermelon with a fat body.
Xu Lai and Tang Tang rushed over to help.
"Uncle Lionhead, you're really getting more and more flexible!" Don Sugar Zan.
"Not really!" The fat man is actually surnamed Shi, and he is a good friend of Master Xu Lai, but everyone is still used to calling him a lion's head, looking at the two watermelons, he has palpitations, "This is specially bought by your sister Mingzhu for you to eat, fortunately I didn't give it to you!" ”
While the three of them were talking, they heard someone shouting inside, "Fatty, are they back?" ”
"It's back, it's back!" The lion's head shouted.
After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps, and several people rushed out of it.
"The eldest uncle, the third uncle, the swallow sister, the sixth uncle."
Xu Lai and Tang Tang shouted down in one breath.
Xu Lai's master is the seventh in the list, and he is naturally the youngest, so he calls them all uncles. Yanzi is the fifth in the list, and it stands to reason that they should be called Aunt Yanzi, but based on the truth that everyone understands, Xu Lai and Tang Tang are still very smart to call sister.
Ma Boss and the others were better, and when they saw the two of them coming back, although they were also very excited, they could still restrain themselves and just smiled faintly.
Yanzi couldn't help it, his eyes were red, and he came over and hugged the two of them in his arms.
"You two are too slow, I'll be there a long time ago." Lu Jin had a ball on his head, dressed in a crisp black sportswear, holding a chicken leg without any image, and his mouth was full of oil.
Xu Lai didn't answer the words of the two goods, and asked, "What about Sister Mingzhu?" ”
"Knowing that you two love to eat prawns, your sister Mingzhu specially asked the boss to keep the best one, and just went to get it." Swallow said.
Lu Jin was very angry: "I have spoiled you two to the sky!" ”
Xu Lai glanced at her: "It seems that you don't like to eat prawns." ”
As they spoke, they led the two into the house.
Xu Lai and Tang Tang are like the two hillbillies who entered the Grand View Garden, they all feel fresh, compared with before, Shufangzhai has really changed greatly.
Listening to the lion's head, the old city here is renovated, although Shufangzhai is located in a remote area, but it also belongs to the scope of transformation, so it was simply rebuilt.
"Who told you two not to come back, you don't know each other!" Lu Jin sat on the sofa, cocking Erlang's legs and nibbling on chicken legs.
"Say your own, right?" Xu Lai despises it, in recent years, this product has been flying around all day long, and all kinds of performances are definitely not much better than them.
"That's more than the two of you!" Lu Jin was disdainful.
She was smug when she saw Tang Tang move a large photo album out of the house, sit on a rattan chair, and say, "Now let's remember our youth." ”
