Chapter 696: Ancient Secrets (8)

In recent years, with the continuous increase in strength, the dead air on ordinary marine animals can no longer meet the demand. With the current realm of the young man, every time he goes to the far sea in the middle of the night, he must draw a demonic beast above the seventh star to refine the bloodline essence and death qi in his body. And because the demonic beasts above the eight stars already have a high level of spiritual intelligence, they are forced to be shocked and induced, and they still need to be killed. It can be said that along the way, countless middle- and high-level demonic beast groups were wiped out, corpses were all over the sea, and the blood pills obtained were either swallowed by the greedy snake or refined. That kind of bloody scene sometimes makes Zhang Hao feel chilled when he sees it.

However, such a cold-hearted, decisive teenager, who regards life as a mustard, is almost no different from an idiot in the face of feelings. As a bystander, Zhang Hao couldn't see Peaches' thoughts? It's just that the grandfather and grandson, whether they hinted or explicitly stated, couldn't knock on the young elm's pimple at all. In the end, I had to come up with a way to propose marriage, but even so, it still dragged on for more than a year without any results. Although Zhang Hao thinks that he is not a lover saint, he is indeed ignorant at the beginning of the relationship, but after really looking directly at his heart, he will never be so dragging his feet. And the young man's appearance for more than a year has always made people crazy, but the disappointment has reached a certain level, and he has no other way than sighing.

In the quiet courtyard of the house, the boy returned to the table, his brow furrowed. It's not that he can't spread his soul power to perceive the scene and conversation in the house, but by chance, he once sacrificed his soul power to perceive the outside world, and the result was that the grassland in a radius of dozens of zhang after the cultivation at that time became a ruin of withered grass and trees. I have to say that just like the scarlet power contained in his body, the soul power he condensed has a naturally strong corrosive force. With 'but all that has passed.' Chidi Qianli' to describe it. Not excessive. Since then, in this family, for fear of hurting the two relatives he cares about the most, the boy has never exposed his divine soul power again.

"Squeak"

Half a day passed, and when the door opened again, Peaches and Old Man Xie walked out together. Looking at the smiling faces of the two, the young man's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was struggling with.

"Brother Kun'er. I'm going to go to the city, and I'll need to bring you something when I come back?"

Sweeping his eyes, he saw the small burden on Peache's shoulders, the young man stood up suddenly, and said in a sullen voice: "You are not allowed to go, I am not allowed to go." ”

"Why? Grandpa has already told Aunt Yang yesterday that even the two dowries have been stopped, and they will come over at any time in the next two days. Hearing this, Peaches was about to go out for a moment, and seemed to feel a little angry because of the boy's domineering tone.

"Our family is not short of money. Why are you in such a hurry to get a dowry? If you really need money, I'll let the snake attract seafood to sell!"

"Kun'er. It's not a question of money or not, Peaches is already a big girl, according to the customs of our village, she should get married two years early, get married, have children, and raise children, so that the family has to live. Otherwise, in a few years, my old bones will fall apart, and what will I do if the peach is helpless?" Seeing that the words were all about this, the young man still couldn't wipe his face, and the old man's anxious beard was blowing.

"It's okay, I'll take care of Peaches in the future, and I'll be her support. Grandpa, don't worry!" the boy patted his heart and reassured.

"Forget it, I'd better go to the city!" Momoko stomped her foot in disgust, threw up two big braids, and turned around angrily and walked towards the courtyard gate. At this moment, even Zhang Hao couldn't wait to get up and kick the young man in the courtyard.

"Kun'er, let me ask you! You just give the uncle a happy word, if Peaches is with you, are you willing?" Seeing that Peaches had walked to the courtyard gate, although the young man said that he was anxious, he was still unmoved, and the old man Xie sighed and simply asked directly.

"I'm willing, I'm a hundred willing! I haven't been able to open my mouth because I'm afraid that Peaches won't be willing!" Hearing this, the young man took two steps forward excitedly, and a series of words came out, looking at Peaches' back that suddenly stopped, his face was full of nervousness, for fear that he would be rejected next.

"You're a coveted product, I've been waiting for you since I was fourteen years old, and I've been waiting for three years!"

I don't know if it's a choked or aggrieved sentence, looking at the peach running back despite a reflex, and throwing himself into the young man's arms, Zhang Hao on the courtyard wall breathed a sigh of relief.

On the ancient Zhengyuan Dalu, the distance between ordinary people and cultivators is far beyond ordinary imagination, even if it is just a summoning master or a famous teacher, in such a remote small village or city, it is definitely the kind of high-minded existence. You must know that over the years, the young man and the grandson of the Xie family have not gone to Shuihang City, but even when he visited a Grandmaster Realm physician who had treated Old Man Xie's leg disease and was very famous in the city, after the other party saw the young man, he was also respectful, otherwise, how could he deign to treat an old man in the countryside in person?

For a long time, although the young man was a relative of the family, in the hearts of Old Man Xie and Taozi, the mysterious former was not much different from those big people in the city. How could such a person be willing to marry an ordinary country girl? This is also the biggest reason why the grandfather and grandson have never been cheeky to pick out even though they have found out that the young man has some thoughts, and as for the latter, it is entirely because of the problem of thin skin. Therefore, even though Zhang Hao, who had been watching from the sidelines, was anxious for the two, he had to wait speechlessly for so many years before he hoped that a lover would finally become a family

A magnificent and magnificent house, behind the lush mountains, there is a large lake opened by man-made in front, the inner hall corridor is eighteen turns, hundreds of houses, rockeries are all over, green trees. At a glance, the grandeur alone must be the mansion of a rich man. It is not an exaggeration to say that even in the Shuihang City, which is more than 100 miles away, it is rare to see a house of this scale in the city. This house, which is unique in the environment of earthen houses and thatched houses in Shuipiao Village, is the property of the Jia family.

In the main hall of the huge courtyard, when the first tiger skin is good at wooden chairs, careful observation can be found that the tiger head is not an ordinary tiger, at first glance, the soft fur seems to be glowing with fluorescent dots, obviously at least a seven-star tiger-type monster before death. At this time, a middle-aged man with a shiny face, with a sinister meaning naturally revealed between his eyebrows, holding a string of beads made of good energy spars in his hand, and his fingers flicked lightly. The old god is half-lying on the tiger throne in the present. Close your eyes and refresh yourself.

Below the Tiger Seat. There were seven or eight men standing on both sides, their eyes swept the room, and when they turned to the middle-aged man on the seat, their eyes irrepressibly revealed a little fear, looking at the appearance, they were very in awe of the latter.

"Master, you have been in the city for the past six or seven years, and you have never returned to Shuipiao Village. The affairs of the family are also handled with all their hearts, there has never been any major difference, although the income of the fleet has increased every year, and it depends on God to eat at sea, there has never been much fluctuation. Why did you come back this time?" Seeing that the atmosphere became more and more depressed in the silence, the first thin old man with a flattering face asked. Indeed, among the people present, the former is not only the housekeeper of the Jia family, but also the father-in-law of Jia Lao'er. The most qualified is to be the first to ask questions.

"Why, isn't this coming for a long time? The old man thinks I can't come back and see?" The beads in his hand were paused, the palm of his hand was slightly propped up, and he put it back on his wrist, Jia Lao Er slowly opened his eyes, and the temperament of the superior naturally revealed in his eyes was swept at will, and the people on both sides trembled and hung their heads, looking at the appearance, this person must be extremely harsh in his usual control.

"Look at you, how can you say that, this is still the master's home, when you come back, the family is welcomed with both hands. It's just that you usually live in the city, and when you come back suddenly, you don't say hello, you think there is something wrong, which makes you unhappy. The thin old man hurriedly waved his hand to explain.

"What leaks can happen? Could it be that you still have something to hide from me, secretly doing other business?" Hearing this, Jia Lao Er turned his eyes to look at the old man, and the look of doubt flashed in his eyes, which made the smile on the latter's face stiffen.

"How can the old man have such courage? Besides, Pi'er is your fourth lady and my only daughter, how can we be considered a family, how much benefit can I make small moves in secret?" At this time, the old man had a look of great wish on his face, and he was aggrieved when he said something.

"Yes, it's okay to come back this time, it's already spring, and in less than two months the fleet will be busy, and I'm coming back this time, getting a lot of new things and food from the city, and I'm going to reward the sons and daughters in the near future, and strive for a good harvest this year." Jia Lao Er waved his hand casually, and when he said this, everyone present was obviously relieved, because when the former came back, he did pull six or seven carts of objects.

"It's all gone, the old man stays, I have something to ask. ”

"Let's go down and prepare first, and inform the fleet and crew that they are going to come to the Jia family compound to hold a banquet in the next few days. Hearing this, the old man surnamed Bo waved his hand, and everyone next to him responded again and again, and after saluting the second child respectfully, he slowly withdrew from the hall.

After a while, seeing that only his father-in-law was left in the hall, Jia Laoer's eyes were filled with a little inexplicable essence, and he said: "When has our village come out of Dafu in the past few years, why have I never heard of it?"

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

"Could it be that which fleet went to sea, got the treasure, and didn't hand it in?" Seeing the confusion on the old man's face, Jia Lao Er's eyes were like electricity.

"You really don't know this, after the incident of Wang Laizi's family was wiped out before, who still has such a big courage to secretly catch food? Not to mention that if there is such a number one, I am afraid that he will leave Shuipiao Village directly with his wife and children. In the past few years, I haven't heard of any family leaving, and besides, among the hundreds of miles of villages and towns, which village can catch up with our village's livelihood?"

Not long ago, I received news that a family in the village had ordered several sets of new furniture in Shuihang City, all of which were good things. After conversion, I am afraid that there are 200 high-grade power stones, and I will probably take them the day after tomorrow. I'm just curious, so I asked by the way. You must know that the handlebar type of the number one in the family is only sixty or seventy high-grade power stones a year, so it is not something that ordinary people can afford to spend so much, right?"

"There's something weird about you mentioning that. ”

Nodding secretly, the old man muttered: "Over the years, Old Man Xie has flown up the branches and turned into a phoenix, and I don't know where a stinky boy came from the family. Anyway, in the past five or six years, they have been to the fish market four times, and each time they sell all the wide-backed eight-striped shrimp and large-clamped short-tailed crabs, and the number is not much, six or seven. The money that his deceased son owes us has long been paid off. Now his life is very nourishing, and his granddaughter occasionally goes to the city and brings back a lot of delicious food, and she has sent it many times from door to door. ”

"Broad-backed eight-striped shrimp and big-pinned short-tailed crabs? A fleet goes to sea, and if it's lucky, it can only get more than a dozen of them, and if it's unlucky, dozens of boats can't get one of them in one trip! How can he, a crippled old man and a stinky girl, have such great ability?" Jia Lao Er sighed lightly, obviously a little unexpected.

"I don't know much about that. ”

Touching Jia Laoer's inquiring gaze, the old man said with a difficult face: "That wild boy of his family rarely shows up in ordinary times, but whenever he appears, he also covers himself with a big black robe. But this kid is very weird, he has a pair of white eyes at a young age, and his face is even pale, at first glance he looks like a living dead, giving people an eerie feeling. Before, there were a few people in the village who had a good relationship with Old Man Xie who came to the door, and it was said that as soon as he got close to the kid's body, there was a cold and biting chill. It's been a long time, and now few people in their house dare to go. ”

"White eyes, in Shuihang City, I can occasionally meet with the city lord, his old man is a fairy-level figure, summoning a master of the saint master level to turn over the clouds, wave his hand to the sea, with the knowledge of adults, I have never mentioned the human species with white eyes on this dalu!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, Jia Lao Er muttered to himself in confusion, and after a long silence, he spoke: "Tomorrow I will personally take someone to Old Man Xie's house to have a look, if it is nothing special, forget it." If he really had something good to hide, he would inevitably get a treasure back. ”

"The wide-backed eight-striped shrimp and the big-pincered short-tailed crab are at least 200 meters away from the deep sea, how can this crippled old man with a stinky boy be able to succeed in a row for several years? Good luck is impossible! There must be something strange in the middle!" (To be continued......
