Chapter 31: Sword Idiot Zhang Cong
As the sun sets, a dim halo shines through the desert in the evening, and between the sky and the earth, several earthy yellow sand dunes surround a turquoise basin, and a winding stream runs through the center of the basin, like a wandering dragon. The feeling of beauty and mystery fills everyone's heart, and Tao Yuanming's paradise feels nothing more than that, even big guys like Jiang Hong are nostalgic.
Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia were speechless with excitement, as if no amount of praise at this time could describe the beauty here. But their red faces betrayed their hearts. In comparison, Shi Jian was much calmer, after all, it was not the first time he had seen him, but his eyes had become melancholy at this time, as if the beautiful scenery here made him a little regretful.
The four of them stood in a daze for a long time without saying a word, until the sunset gradually set, and the outline of the desert village faintly appeared in front of everyone, Shi Jian sighed greatly, and saw that everyone else turned to look at him, and sighed and said: "No matter how beautiful the sunset is, there is a time when it sets, how can life be unsatisfactory?"
Jiang Hong, who just wanted to refute him, heard this, looked at Shi Jian's somewhat melancholy eyes, bleated his lips and said nothing, waiting for his next words.
"Okay, I've seen the beautiful scenery too, I believe you are still satisfied with the place where you are going to live, right?" Shi Jian saw that everyone listened to his words, and said teasingly, as if he was the master here, Jiang Hong came to his house.
Jiang Hong showed a disdainful expression and said, "What is this, it's not that I haven't seen it." ”
Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia frowned when they heard Jiang Hong's words. Obviously, they weren't very happy about Jiang Hong's denial of this, but they didn't say anything, knowing that this was Jiang Hong's response to the second uncle's stinky fart.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, are you hungry? Do you want to take a shower and then have a full meal? Come with me if you want to, whatever you don't want. After speaking, he walked towards the desert village.
Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia glanced at Jiang Hong with a smile and trotted to follow.
Jiang Hong's expression kept changing in place, he didn't expect Shi Jian to put him like this, and then he was relieved when he thought about it, why take it seriously if he was joking. Immediately lifted his heel and went up.
"Hehe, Brother Jiang Hong, I thought you were angry, why don't you come?" Jiang Hong just ran up, Shi Yahan joked to him with a smile. Shi Jiajia and Shi Jian also turned their heads and looked at him with a playful expression.
Jiang Hong was a little speechless by them, and ran forward without saying anything, "If you want to go, follow me?" After speaking, he ignored them and walked forward, Shi Jian and the others laughed from behind.
For Jiang Hong, Shi Jian always had some melancholy in his eyes, so every time he liked to make fun of Jiang Hong, it was rare for Jiang Hong to show his childlike side, he was also happy when he looked at it, so he laughed, but he felt that this kind of Jiang Hong looked much more real than pretending to be calm and sullen.
After that, the four of them talked and laughed all the way, so many days of hard work seemed so difficult in their moment of relaxation. The road is difficult, but the memories are happy.
It didn't take long for them to come to the entrance of the desert village, which did not have plaques like Shijia Town, with two earthy yellow sand dunes piled up on both sides, a wide avenue in the middle leading to the village, some chickens were looking for a place to spend the night, and a few ducks by the river also embarked on their return journey, and occasionally there was the sound of dogs barking. If Jiang Hong wasn't sober enough at the moment, he would have the illusion of returning to Earth, which was completely a village on Earth.
There was no one in the village, peaceful, peaceful. Jiang Hong and the others walked along the avenue all the way, but there was no one along the way, Jiang Hong felt a little strange in his heart. Just looking at Shi Jian's natural appearance, he still held back the doubts in his heart.
The village was big enough, and they walked for a while, almost passing through the village, when a wooden-framed house appeared in front of them, which was so conspicuous in this village, and the other houses were also wooden-framed, but the difference in size was too great, almost five or six times larger.
"Haha...... "This is the silence of the village finally broken by the laughter coming from this big house, otherwise the silence is a little scary.
Shi Jian heard this chaotic laughter, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his face sped up with some excitement.
The gate of the courtyard in front of the house was open, Jiang Hong and they walked in like this, he was still a little hesitant in his heart, he always felt that it was a little inappropriate to go in without saying hello like this, and in the middle of his thoughts, he heard Shi Jian shouting excitedly: "Ling'er, Ling'er......"
Jiang Hong looked up, and saw more than 100 people of all ages and children in the courtyard, with more than a dozen big tables eating, and at the innermost table, a young woman in a red dress was serving wine to the people at that table, her long flowing hair extended back to her waist, and her unrevealing clothes showed the maturity and charm that a woman should have.
Shi Yahan slapped Jiang Hong back, Jiang Hong instantly came to his senses, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Shi Yahan glared at him fiercely, snorted heavily and looked forward.
I saw the woman in red pause slightly, turned around and saw Shi Jian, and replied: "Brother Jian, are you here......"
Jiang Hong clearly saw the woman in red seeing Shi Jian, her eyes were full of joy, but after answering Shi Jian, she looked at an old woman sitting on the top, and her eyes immediately dimmed.
After Shi Jian saw Ling'er answer his words, he didn't follow. Immediately, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes when he saw the old woman on the throne, but he only hid it for a moment and asked calmly: "Ling'er, how are you doing all these years?"
"I'm very good, my sisters are very good to me, and my teachers take good care of me. Zhang Ling looked at the old woman after speaking, and the old woman nodded to her. She then looked at Shi Jian and asked, "Brother Jian, this is a long time...... How about this for a long time?"
"It's okay, but I miss you a little. After Shi Jian finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Ling affectionately, and a trace of panic flashed on her face when Shi Jian saw it.
"Ahem...... Let's eat, won't Mr. Zhang entertain your nephew?" The old woman heard Shi Jian's words, glared at Shi Jian fiercely, and said to an old man beside her. The old man is almost the same grade as Old Man Shi, but he looks much more energetic than Old Man Shi, and seems to be more than ten years younger. Jiang Hong guessed that it should be the old man Zhang in Shi Jian's mouth.
"Jian'er, why are you here, without notifying, let's find someone to pick you up?" The old man stood up without embarrassment and said to Shi Jian. There seemed to be a bit of reproach in his tone, blaming Shi Jian for not informing him.
Shi Jian saw the old man talking to him, he looked at Shi Yahan and Jiang Hong, and said, "Old man Zhang came this time because the old man of the family asked me to come over, and asked me to bring these juniors to live in your village for a while, and there is nothing to notify." After speaking, he ignored the old man and sat down on an empty table in front of him. After sitting down, he motioned for Jiang Hong and them to sit down as well.
Jiang Hong was a little speechless in his heart, and before the master of the family had invited him to sit down, he sat down by himself. Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia have always listened to the words of the second uncle, hesitated for a moment and sat down with Shi Jian.
Jiang Hong saw some leftovers on the table, which were obviously eaten by some children, and ran to play after eating. Jiang Hong stood there, and when he saw the courtyard, he looked at it and felt that his face was a little feverish, and it was not appropriate to stand and sit. But seeing Shi Jian's joking eyes, he gritted his teeth and sat down.
"Cong'er, you go and ask your mother to prepare some dinner for them and give it to Shi Jian and them, they must be hungry now. "Old man Zhang saw Shi Jian like this, and there was no way. He knew that Shi Jian was angry with him, but only he knew that he was suffering and couldn't say it.
"Yes!" a boy of seventeen or eighteen stood up from the table next to Old Man Zhang, and walked into the room without saying anything. It's just strange that he has a long sword on his back, which looks indescribably funny.
When Shi Yahan saw such a person, she couldn't help laughing at the moment. Jiang Hong also wanted to laugh, but his endurance was slightly higher than Shi Yahan's, so he couldn't help but laugh, but his face was flushed.
On the contrary, Shi Jiajia's eyes flashed, and she quietly commented on the sword boy.
Seeing their appearance, Shi Jian looked at Jiang Hong and Shi Yahan a little speechlessly, thinking that he would wait for the opportunity to popularize knowledge for the two of them, so as to save himself from being unnatural sometimes. Then, Shi Jian looked at Jiang Hong and sat down a little, as if to say Shame, I don't know you.
Jiang Hong knew that he was making a fool of himself when he looked at him, he saw that there was no one smiling in the yard, so he looked at them quietly. Feeling his mistake, he looked at Shi Yahan and glared at her, he blamed in his heart, if Shi Yahan hadn't laughed so exaggeratedly, he wouldn't have behaved so embarrassed.
The old woman on the main seat noticed Shi Yahan who was laughing, first frowned and looked over, and then looked at Shi Yahan with a light in her eyes.
Shi Yahan suddenly stopped laughing, and she also noticed the old woman's eyes, which seemed to be looking at prey, yes, seeing the prey in her hand. Touching the old woman's eyes, Shi Yahan shrank towards Jiang Hong in fear, with some fear in her eyes.
The old woman saw her and smiled softly at her.
Jiang Hong looked up when he saw Shi Yahan's appearance. Looking at the old woman in an instant, Jiang Hong glared viciously, but the old woman smiled indifferently.
Shi Jian didn't notice Shi Yahan's abnormality, and his eyes never left Zhang Ling from the moment he came in. It's just that he was pulled back by Shi Yahan's laughter just now, he turned his head to look at Jiang Hong and Shi Yahan, and saw their ambiguous appearance, and felt a little unhappy.
"The two of them seem to have never seen the world, there are many people carrying weapons on their backs in the Longwei Continent, Zhang Cong you saw just now is the grandson of Old Man Zhang, he likes to play with swords since he was a child, and even when it comes to letting him practice, he doesn't want it. I have been friends with swords all day long, and under the premise of not cultivating the exercises, I am now in the early stage of breaking the Dan, do you think it's funny?"
"That's why everyone here calls him a sword idiot!"
"Look at you, and then look at people?" Shi Jian sighed.
Jiang Hong and Shi Yahan were both flushed, not how, they were humiliated.
