Chapter 4 Teachers

It has been more than two months since Ping Lei and his entourage set off, and the carriage pulled out a long oblique back in the sunset, and there was a joyful laughter from time to time in the carriage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Father, how long have you been away from home?" asked Ping An in a childish voice.

"It's been almost 30 years, and I left home not long after my parents died. Ping Lei recalled.

"Did something happen to my grandfather and grandmother?"

"Your grandmother left early, and my grandfather brought me up alone. I was only 14 years old at the time, and the front line was in dire need of manpower, so the Empire sent people to recruit soldiers everywhere, one from every household. At that time, my father entrusted me to the care of the only bachelor in our village, and then my father was taken away by the recruited soldiers. Two years later, the news of his father's death in the frontline fighting insects came back, and the corpse was not seen in the capital. At this time, the corners of Ping Lei's eyes suddenly moistened.

"Brother Lei, don't be sad! Isn't this the Pope bless you? Seeing that you have gone through so many tribulations, it must have been the Pope's miracles that gave you such a wise son. It's only been a few days since I was born, I can open my eyes and speak, and I can sing for more than ten days, and now I'm only two months old and I can talk more smoothly than me! I've never seen such a wicked child, and this son will become a great thing in the future!" Feng You looked exaggerated, as if he had seen a miracle.

"That's it, I've been scared with my mouth open for the past two months, and when Ping An first started to speak, I thought he was possessed by an evil spirit!"

"Erdan, you are disobedient again, you want to find a pinch, right!" Ping'an pretended to be angry and stared at Erdan.

"What a second bastard, you have to call me Brother Dan, how many times have I told you but I just don't listen!"

"Erdan, hug!" Ping An showed a harmless expression.

"I can't stop your mouth when I drink milk!" Erdan suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and threw the bag containing the animal milk in front of Ping'an.

Ping Lei and Feng You couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

"There seems to be a village in front of Brother Lei!" the second egg pointed out.

"Really? I'll take a look. Ping Lei also strode over to the outside of the car to look.

It is surrounded by woodland, and a small hill stands out abruptly in front of it. The hills are densely wooded, and only a stone path can be seen gently descending, and there is a fence gate at the end of the stone path. At the top of the hill, a fence formed a circle, enclosing the entire height of the hill. There is only one exit, two giant logs as gate posts, and sharp wooden spears stuck in the fence gates, which are on alert for danger in real time.

"It's finally here! After all these years, it still looks the same as before from the outside, and nothing has changed! It's getting dark soon, let's speed up. Ping Lei sighed.

......

Soon after, the group came to the entrance of the village.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Why haven't I seen you?" Seeing Ping Lei and his party coming, a young man with a torch in the attic of the wooden door asked questions continuously.

"In Xia Pinglei, I am from the village of Belka, I left many years ago to go out and go home, you can find an older elder. Ping Lei replied calmly.

"Yes, then you wait for me to call someone!" said the young man and hurriedly ran down the attic.

"Pinglei! Pinglei! I heard you right, are you back?" After a while, before the people arrived, a rough voice came from behind the wooden door.

Ping Lei looked up, saw the panting face who had just climbed into the attic, and thought for a moment: "You are... Are you Tenghu?"

"Yes, it's me, do you remember me? I saw you at a glance after so many years of not seeing you!"

Tenghu gasped and was very excited.

"Why have you grown so fat, you can't blame me, your change is still a bit big!" Ping Lei looked at his childhood playmate he hadn't seen for many years.

"Don't talk about it yet, hurry into the village and talk about it! Hurry, hurry up and open the door for them." Teng Hu instructed the guy behind him.

......

"The big guy is fine, come out quickly, Pinglei is back! Pinglei is back!" Tenghu led Pinglei and his party towards an open space in the center of the village, shouting at the top of his voice.

The small village suddenly became lively, and the villagers rushed out to gather around.

"Is Pinglei back?" said an old, calm voice from behind the crowd.

Suddenly, everyone quieted down and spontaneously made a way.

With a stick in his hand, an old man in a white dress and a bachelor's hat walked slowly.

"Master Kane, you're still alive!" said Pinglei excitedly.

"Phew, bah! You want me to die soon! The little thing still knows to come back! Master Kane was also amused by Ping Lei.

"No, no, you're so old, aren't you happy for you!" Ping Lei knew that he was a little embarrassed to say the wrong thing.

"Okay, let's all go to the campfire in the middle of the village and sit down and have a good chat! Tenghu, it's a happy day for Pinglei to come back today, but you can watch the good meat hunted in the winter in the village, go get some and welcome them well." ā€

"Okay, village elder, if you don't say it, I'll have to do it quickly!" Teng Hu said as he beckoned a few villagers to prepare for the dinner together.

Everyone around the bonfire listened quietly to Ping Lei's experience over the years, and from time to time villagers asked questions, as if they were teaching everyone.

ā€œ...... It wasn't until two months ago that my son was born, and his mother named him Ping'an! There was also my brother who was my age, named Feng You, who used to be my regimental deputy, and had a good skill in striking iron, so if you need help in the future, just look for him! The young man is called Erdan, he is not very capable but he runs fast, and he is very active, and if there is any errand work in the future, let this kid go. From now on, they will all be from our Belka village!"

"Peace!Fengyou!Erdan!Ping'an!Fengyou!Erdan..." The villagers enthusiastically shouted these three names.

Lying peacefully and quietly in his father's arms, watching this scene with joy, a strong sense of belonging arises spontaneously!

"The feast is here! delicious snow deer barbecue, goat's milk wine, and the men's favorite snow bullwhip!!" Tenghu brought the party to the climax with a delicious dinner.

The party lasted until the second half of the night before gradually dispersing, and Tenghu warmly beckoned Pinglei's family to stay at his house temporarily.

......

"Hey!ha!hey!ha..."

In the early morning, there was a rhythmic sound of practice in the village.

Ping An woke up early and leaned by the window to watch with great interest as a group of teenage children in the village moved stones of different sizes and tried to lift them above their heads.

"They are tempering their bodies, which is a necessary skill to survive in troubled times in the future. Ping Lei was also awakened by the sound, and looked at Ping An who was lying on the windowsill next to the bed and looking out curiously.

"I want to train and defend my family, too!" said Ping An in a colloquial voice that did not match his actual age.

"Haha! You're still young, it's early! Let's go, you're home, we're going to bury your mother today." Ping Lei held Ping Ping up with one hand and walked out.

In the northwest corner of the village, near the fence, there is a small courtyard, which was Pinglei's home many years ago. In the backyard, Feng You and Erdan were digging a grave for Wei Yunxin, and Ping Lei stood aside with Ping An and stared at Wei Yunxin who was about to be buried, as if he wanted to engrave this face into his mind.

Wei Yunxin lay quietly in the coffin with a pale face, her expression was serene, and she looked extremely holy. The body is also surrounded by thin magical elements, making the flesh incorruptible.

"Brother Lei is ready, it's time to be buried!" Feng You couldn't bear to interrupt as he watched the father and son look at them so affectionately.

"Well, let's get started! It's time. Ping Lei came back to his senses.

The coffin closes the lid and is placed in the curtain to begin the burial.

Ping Lei found a piece of hard granite and personally carved a few vicissitudes of life on the tomb of "The Tomb of Beloved Wife Wei Yunxin".

"Xin'er, I'll be here with you for the rest of my life!

Ping Lei looked at the tombstone as if he was looking at his lover.

"Alright, it's noon, you two have packed up this house, it's been a long time since anyone lived there. This will be our home from now on, and I will first go to meet Master Kane with peace. After a moment, Ping Lei broke the silence and said.

"Okay, you leave this to us, you can rest assured!" Feng You hurriedly replied.

......

Directly north of the village is a two-storey stone hut where Master Kane lived. In the room, Ping Lei sat opposite Master Kane with Ping'an.

"Teacher, I asked you about it last night, and you asked me to come to talk about it today, I don't know if it's too late. Ping Lei asked apologetically.

"Don't pretend to be polite in front of me, boy, you're still the same in front of me as you were when you left here 30 years ago. Maester Kane said with a deliberate puff of cheeks.

"Student, I'm not worried about your health, if I'm not mistaken, you're 120 years old, right?"

"At the age of 120, there are more people in this world who have lived longer than me. What's the matter, do you think I'm old?"

"Teacher, I told you about my son's situation yesterday, is it normal for you to see my son like this?"

Ping An was speechless for a while while listening, and his father still felt that he was abnormal! Ping An could only keep pretending to be stupid.

"Well, I've never seen anything like yours, and I've never heard of a prodigy who was so smart from birth anywhere else. Well, that's not in the way! That's good material! Let me train well, and then I will become the greatest bachelor of all time!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean, teacher! Then I'll let my son worship you as a teacher! Ping Lei hurriedly patted Ping An's buttocks, suggesting that Ping An should hurry up and apprentice.

Ping An was helpless, so he was "sold" by his father, and he had to roll his eyes at his father.

"Master Kane, I've apprenticed to you! take me as an apprentice!" Ping'an said in a childish voice.

"Hey, yes, yes, yes, Ping'an, now you will be my third disciple, call me teacher from now on!" Master Kane looked as if he had found a treasure.

"Uh, teacher, you have another disciple before, why don't I know?" Ping Lei said curiously!

"My first disciple was your father, and then I was entrusted by your father and took you as an apprentice, and now I am entrusted by you to accept your son as an apprentice!

Ping Lei and Ping An suddenly felt thundered, and the three generations of the family worshiped the same teacher and were all sent by their fathers!

"Okay, don't be stunned! You just went back to the village today, go back early today and hang out with everyone, and then send Ping'an to me every day at noon to study, and then pick him up in the evening, and I will teach him well!"

"Yes, teacher!" Pinglei and his son replied in unison.
