Chapter 17: Homecoming
At this moment, Chen You is in the library of the capture room, consulting information.
Trainee Catcher is not qualified to enter the real Capture Dock Library, but what he needs most at the moment is in the Library.
A thick book of "Wushan County Chronicles" is the classic book he is reading.
This time he went back, he had important plans to implement, and it was very important to understand the geographical situation of Wushan County.
It wasn't until the sun went down that I wrote down what I needed.
Handing back the books, Chen You left the capture room.
Passing by a tea shop, he specially brought a bag of fine tea leaves of "Green Sprouts Turui" to Old Man Ding.
Old man Ding is good at drinking tea, but he is reluctant to spend money, so he basically buys coarse tea for twenty or thirty yuan a catty.
Like these two taels of silver and a pack of green sprouts, Old Man Ding was reluctant to buy it himself.
Brought a cage of meat buns to You You, and Chen You came to the scrap shop.
Old man Ding had to quarrel with him again, but when he saw the good tea of Qingya Turui, a pair of small eyes widened, and he trotted back to the room to boil water and taste it.
Tatsu was quiet, teasing and playing for a while, and went to the hut to rest.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the middle of the second day, after talking to Old Man Ding, he came to the arresting room, outside the small courtyard where Wu Mingchen lived.
Chen Lao was already waiting there, and when he saw Chen You coming, he smiled and handed him a formal fast trapping costume, a black waist knife, and a black fine iron token the size of a palm.
Chen You looked at it, and saw that the front of the token was engraved with the four red characters of "Ooshan Catching Fast", and the back was the two black characters of "Chen You".
Looking at it, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
In the last life, his parents died early, but in this life, he has both father and mother.
I still remember my father Chenzhong, when he sent him from Chenjia Village to Wushan to capture the house, he told him all the way to be careful, don't mess with his colleagues, hate his boss, cherish this opportunity, and strive to become an official catcher within ten years!
"Ten years...... I have the spirit of Journey to the West in my hands, as long as I am cautious, my future achievements are destined to far exceed the imagination of ordinary people!"
Chen You smiled and said in his heart.
But this process is probably also very difficult!
As his understanding of this world deepens, he has begun to smell the group that may become his powerful opponent in the future.
For example, the Ghost Path!
These people are actually able to ingest incense and strengthen themselves, and it is estimated that when they collect their own faith in the future, they will definitely have a conflict with the ghost group!
"I have a chance, but I still do my best to turn the opportunity into strength and quickly improve myself!"
Chen You clenched his fists and thought to himself.
"Chenyou, this time I can only go home and rest, I can only go back for half a month!
Old Chen smiled and opened his mouth to instruct.
"That's right!" Wu Mingchen walked into the courtyard and smiled at Chen You: "The county government has decided that at the end of this month, a public promotion and reward meeting will be held!
"Open promotion award meeting?"
Chen You asked suspiciously.
"Yes. Wu Mingchen nodded, and said with a smile: "Uprooting the Black Wind Mountain bandits this time is a major event in the past seven or eight years. After the aftermath is completed, a public promotion reward meeting will be held to make it lively!"
Chen Lao also interjected on the side: "Chen You, you have to perform well this time, this conference will not only reward you richly. More importantly, if you can take this opportunity to leave an impression on the county, it will definitely be of great help to the future road!"
"Hahaha...... At that time, there will definitely be many officials and nobles, big businessmen and wealthy families in Wushan City, and if they are favored by any young lady, it will be a beautiful thing! Hahaha......
Wu Mingchen laughed and patted Chen You's shoulder and said.
"Uh......"
Chen You scratched his head and smiled.
The three of them chatted a few more words, and one of them led a horse to the door.
This is also Wu Mingchen's special explanation, Chenjia Village is more than 100 miles away from Wushan City, and it is much more convenient to have horses to travel.
I have to say that Wu Mingchen has indeed been in a very good mood in the past few days, and he has taken great care of Chen You.
Chen You thanked him again, then discharged from the hospital to lead the horse and left the fishing room.
Bought some items at a passing shop and headed straight out of town.
......
Once out of town, head north.
The horses were very fast, and after about two hours, a small river under the shade of willows appeared in front of them.
"Willow Town!"
Chen You's heart burst with joy.
In this life, he is still less than sixteen years old, and this time he has been away from home for more than four months, which is the longest time.
The horses galloped along the banks of the creek all the way west.
After about the time of tea, cross a stone bridge, which is the range of Chenjia Village.
Chenyou's home is in the east of the village, and it will be a moment.
"Squeak", a wooden door opened, and a woman in her thirties walked out of a small courtyard.
The woman carried a wooden basin in her right hand with a pile of dirty laundry, apparently to go to the river to do laundry.
"Mother!"
Chen You was slightly excited in his heart and blurted out.
This woman is Chen You's mother, Ning Fang.
Ning Fang was just about to turn around and take the courtyard door, when she heard the cry, she couldn't help but feel a shock.
Quickly turned his head and looked at Tatsuyu.
"You'er!"
Ning Fang showed surprise on her face and hurried to meet her.
Chen You turned over and dismounted, hugging his mother tightly.
"Son, I miss my mother. ”
Ning Fang patted Chen You's back, and her eyes turned slightly red.
"Hehe, the child hasn't seen his mother for a few months, and he misses it tightly!"
Chen You is also agitated in his heart.
In another parallel space, his parents died early, and now the memories of the two lives have accumulated, and his feelings for his mother are very different.
"Son, you suffered, it's all your father's fault!"
Ning Fang couldn't help but shed tears when she heard the child speak.
"Aren't I good!"
Chen You straightened up and grinned, took the wooden basin from his mother's hand, led the horse with one hand, and walked towards the courtyard.
In the courtyard, a man in his forties was walking out of a hut with a bundle of firewood.
The man's skeleton is tall, but his body is rickety, and there is no flesh on his face, and he looks very haggard.
"Daddy!"
Chen You's heart was sour, and he shouted.
This man is his father, Tatsushige.
When his father was young, he was also a famous hunter in the village, but he hunted all year round, and it was inevitable that he would be injured, leaving some dark diseases.
In addition, over the years, Tatsushige has tried his best to save money to send his son to the city, and under the daily hard work, his body has deteriorated.
Tatsushige suddenly saw his son, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
But in the end, he said lightly: "This is not a New Year's Day, why is it back now......? Where did it come from?"
"Catching a house gave me a half-month vacation. This horse is also a housekeeper. ”
Chen You knew his father's temperament, and hurriedly spoke.
Tatsushige sighed, put down the firewood in his hand, and said, "You come with me." ”
"Don't go! You murderer of a thousand knives, your son was bullied in the city, and you didn't even look at it! Now that your son is back, you want to teach him a lesson?"
Ning Fang, who was on the side, suddenly pulled his son's arm, blocked him behind him, and scolded Chen Zhong.
Chen Chong's face turned dark, and after a pause, Fang Cai sighed again and said: "I just let my son go and worship the 'Dragon Emperor', as for the matter of catching the house, my son doesn't want to do it, I won't force it now." ”
Do you think that the surname Chen is the descendant of the Dragon Emperor? The old lady was deceived by your trick back then, and now she is deceiving my son again?"
Ning Fang said even more angrily.
"Father, mother, I didn't rush back from the arrest room! my son is very good now, and he has been promoted to the official arrest!"
Chen You quickly understood the situation and hurriedly spoke.
Obviously, his parents also knew about the situation of his previous house hunting in Wushan City, although they did not go in person, they must have also gotten the news from other channels.
Now in this situation, I am afraid that my father mistakenly thinks that he can't survive and is going to quit the hunting house.
"What?
Tatsushige's eyes widened suddenly.
"Yes, Dad!
Chen You's detective took out the fast capture token from his arms and handed it to his father to watch.
Tatsushige quickly took it and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.
"Really...... My son, it's really become an official catcher. Quick, go with your father to worship the Dragon Emperor's spiritual seat! This is all the blessing of the Dragon Emperor!"
Chen Zhong looked at the token again and again, and then grabbed his son again, and hurriedly walked towards the middle hall.
The furnishings in the central hall are simple, but on a carved round table in the center, there is a stone statue of a foot high.
The stone statue is exquisitely carved, and it is carved with the image of a middle-aged military general with gold armor and black beard.
The middle-aged general's face was slightly yellow, holding a spear in his right hand, and his left hand gently stroked his long beard under his chin.
Our Chen family is the descendant of the Dragon Emperor, and one day, there will be another earth-shattering character!"
Tatsushige took three sticks of incense from the table and lit them, handing them to Tatsuyudao.
"Dad, the Dragon Emperor has been dead for tens of thousands of years, I don't know how many generations have passed, how do we know that we are the descendants of the Dragon Emperor. ”
Chen You took the fine incense and couldn't help but say.
"Bastard, it's all backed by a genealogy!" said Tatsushige angrily.
Chen You couldn't help but pursed his lips, and muttered in a small voice: "The genealogy has been recorded for more than five hundred years, and tens of thousands of years in the middle are all blank......
The legendary Dragon Emperor, named Chen Wushuang, seventy or eighty thousand years ago, once ruled the territory of the four saints, five directions, and Liuhe, a total of fifteen countries, and was one of the top figures at that time.
However, in Chen You's view, every surname has produced a strong character. The surname Chen thinks that he is a descendant of the Dragon Emperor, which is really unreliable, just talk about it, and if you are serious, you will lose.
After worshipping the Dragon Emperor, the family finally sat together.
His mother cooked, and Chen You also took out the gifts he brought to his parents and talked with his father.
After the meal, I chatted with my parents until midnight, and picked up and talked about my situation in Wushan City, as well as what I had seen and heard.
Sending his parents away, Chen You thought about what he needed to do tomorrow, and then went to bed.
The night passed quickly.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen You had just gotten up, and outside the small courtyard, there were two calls.
