When I returned to the village where the mountain people gathered, I had a deep understanding of what it means to be truly greeted.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scene at that time was a crowd of people with gongs, drums, and firecrackers.

As soon as I was carried into the village by Zhao Qingluan, a group of people surrounded me without saying a word, and began to ask us how the demon extermination operation was going.

"Mr. Yuan has already got rid of that snake spirit!" Fan Guoqiang stood in front of us, put on a leader's style, and waved his hand at the worried mountain people: "Don't worry! With Mr. Yuan, what else can't be done! Now the snake has turned to ashes! ”

Hearing Fan Guoqiang say this, those people looked at us with suspicion.

This kind of scene made Fan Guoqiang very uncomfortable, to be precise, he was really a little angry.

Fan Guoqiang must have thought so at the time.

Lao Tzu went up the mountain and followed the gentlemen on an adventure, you guys stayed here in peace, and you didn't believe us, what is this trouble?

At this time, someone suddenly noticed that there was a familiar little boy standing behind Shen Han.

"Hey! Brother Qiang, they rescued Xiaoshan back! Someone shouted, his voice full of excitement: "It seems that the gentlemen really killed the snake spirit!! ”

"Xiaoshan is okay?!! The snake spirit didn't eat him?!! ”

Fan Guoqiang waved his hand again, his expression was very serious, he glanced at me, and asked me in a low voice, "Mr. Yuan, can I tell them about Xiaoshan?" ”

"Whatever." I laughed, but added in my heart, this is something I can't ask for.

With Fan Guoqiang, the head snake, helping to brag, then the lie I told is even more true.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Fan Guoqiang said loudly: "I have something important to tell you!" ”

Seeing Fan Guoqiang's serious face, those roaring mountain people slowly quieted down, and looked at Fan Guoqiang intently, as if he was wondering, what is this grandson going to say?

"That snake has repeatedly gone down the mountain to kill people, and even broke into the village to rob people, but it has never done anything to the people in our village casually, and it has been shot by our people several times" Fan Guoqiang said, his expression became more and more excited: "But it has never fought back!" Any idea why this is?! ”

Before that, most of the mountain people seemed to be living in fear, and they probably didn't notice the details of these things.

But when Fan Guoqiang talked about these "points", they still reacted immediately.

"It seems like that" An older middle-aged man muttered, his expression full of doubts: "If that snake really wanted to attack our village, then we would have died in its mouth, but Brother Qiang, why is this?" ”

"Yes, Brother Qiang! Say it quickly! ”

"That snake is very powerful, but we're fine, you know the hidden secrets here, Brother Qiang?"

Fan Guoqiang seemed to enjoy the feeling of being questioned, the expression on his face was unfathomable, that kind of cheap smile, I wanted to beat him when I saw it.

"The reason for this is simple." Fan Guoqiang waved his hand at everyone, his expression became more and more excited: "Among us, there is one of us who is descended from the stars!" The reason why the snake didn't dare to kill us is because of this! ”

Hearing Fan Guoqiang's words, the crowd burst into flames.

"The stars come down to earth?!! Who is that man?!! The stars are immortals?!! ”

"It's a fairy! I've heard the old man say it! The high-ranking officials in ancient times were all descended from the stars! ”

"Wouldn't it be that there are still stars in the barren mountains and mountains like ours?"

Fan Guoqiang coughed twice, looked at the mountain people who were full of doubts, and said word by word: "Who is this person, in fact, we all know him." ”

"Who?!"

"Brother Qiang, tell me who it is!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost created, Fan Guoqiang nodded with satisfaction, and walked over to take Sun Xiaoshan from Shen Han's hand.

"He is the stars descending from the earth." Fan Guoqiang's expression was extremely solemn, and his tone was full of undoubted taste: "The reason why this child was taken up the mountain by that giant python is also because of this. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Someone asked.

"If it weren't for the stars sitting in the village, we would have been killed by that snake a long time ago!" Fan Guoqiang snorted: "This time, the giant python desperately took the risk to take the stars up the mountain, in order to kill all of us, understand?" ”

"I don't understand what you mean," the man scratched his head and asked confusedly, "Since the python is afraid of the stars, how dare it take the stars away?" ”

Fan Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting someone to ask such a question, so he turned his face and threw the question to me.

"The number of star fate in the lower mortal world is three out of nine, which is not the complete number of star fate, because they are all people who have been punished by the fairy world and suffered." I bragged with a natural face: "There is an hour every day when they lose the identity of the stars, and no one can grasp this hour, including us gentlemen, I guess the python has been observing for a long time."

Before I could finish explaining, the man suddenly let out an oh of enlightenment, and then looked at Sun Xiaoshan's gaze and became hot.

"Old Sun! What a child of yours! The man looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd and said, "I didn't expect this kid to be stupid, but he is a star."

I was also observing the middle-aged man at this time.

rosacea, triangular eyes, how ugly that grandson looks, it's not a good person.

"He's the stars?" Sun Xiaoshan's father sneered twice, his expression was very sarcastic: "Isn't the star a fool? I don't know what you have to be happy about. ”

"If it weren't for your son, all of us would have died here!" Fan Guoqiang glared, and was so angry that he raised his finger and pointed at the man and scolded: "I'll tell you, your temper had better be restrained, if you treat your son like this again, when you die, I'll see who will send you to the end!" ”

"I don't need him to die when I die, I'm ashamed." Sun Xiaoshan's father sneered, looked at Sun Xiaoshan, and his eyes were full of disgust: "If you really want to thank my son, then send me some money, I don't lack anything, I lack money." ”

Not to mention Fan Guoqiang's violent temper, even I also want to scold people at this time.

Is there such a father?!!

No matter how you say it, it's your own flesh and blood!!

"Don't you want to raise your son? Think he's a drag? Fan Guoqiang suddenly asked him.

The man nodded, but didn't say anything.

"Well, from this month onwards, I will give you ten thousand per month." Fan Guoqiang said word by word: "I am in charge of this child's food and housing, call me godfather, okay?" But if you dare to hit him again, I'll do it."

Before Fan Guoqiang could finish his words, Sun Xiaoshan's father nodded, his eyes full of light.

"Okay, okay! From now on, he'll be in your hands! Just remember to give me 10,000 a month! ”

After Sun Xiaoshan heard his father's words, he looked at him with a dull expression, turned his face again, looked at Fan Guoqiang, and his eyes turned red without warning.

Shen Han and I looked at each other for a while, and were about to comfort the kid for a few words, when Zhao Qingluan suddenly opened his mouth.

"Don't cry, kid bear." Zhao Qingluan looked at this scene expressionlessly, with a slight sarcasm in his eyes: "Relatives like this, don't do it, how embarrassing is it to cry?" ”

Sun Xiaoshan didn't know if he had heard this, so he didn't say anything, he rubbed his eyes silently, and there was no longer a stupid smile on his dirty face.

Judging from what Zheng Xiaoxian'er told us, Sun Xiaoshan still attaches great importance to his father, but this time he didn't save anything, and he didn't refute Fan Guoqiang's words

The vast majority of children are very simple, really, but when this innocence is swallowed up by the reality of adults, what is left?

Maybe it's despair, or maybe it's helplessness?

Suddenly, the kid trotted over and snuck at my pants with his hand.

The tug almost didn't pull my pants off, and if it weren't for the belt, I would have to show my big pants.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"I, I miss the big snake." Sun Xiaoshan looked at me with red eyes, lowered his voice and asked, "When can I go to find it?" ”

I sighed, looked at the bear child, who was trembling slightly, and shook my head.

"Let's wait for later." I said, "Sooner or later, you'll see each other again." ”
