In Red Maple City, the only main street running east-west, divides the entire town into two halves, north and south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Those who lived in the south were either from a wealthy family in Yuyin, or they later moved from the slums to the north.

Most of the people who live in the slums in the north are poor families whose ancestors are so poor that their descendants cannot get rich for various reasons, and the alleys here are cramped and dirty, and the houses are short and dilapidated.

At this moment, the sun is setting, it is evening, in the dilapidated slum in the north of the city, from time to time you can hear half of the children chasing chickens and scolding dogs, the old ladies shouting at the sound of their children coming home, soon, there are few people in the dimly lit alleys, and it is deserted.

Suddenly, a pile of firewood and grass stacked against the wall in the alley shook without warning, and a black cat that happened to pass by "swished" up the wall, and saw a person jumping out of the pile of firewood and grass.

"Hoo ......"

Wang Dong let out a long sigh with a stick, the reason why he hid in this alley far away from home for a whole afternoon was to prevent Doctor Xue from sending people to look for him, he would never allow any trouble to be left behind, and he would never allow any trouble to find him and his father.

The surroundings were deserted, but Wang Dong's heart was like a fire burning, he couldn't wait to return to his home, he couldn't wait to see his father,

Even though he knew that his father used to arrive home very late, so what?

Since he and his father were kicked out of the deep house compound when he was three years old, in the next 14 years, he has not been waiting for his father to come home every night in this old house left by his grandfather?

Fourteen years, fourteen years, he had been used to waiting, as if waiting had become an indispensable part of his life.

But this time, the meaning of the wait is completely different.

Wang Dong wanted his father to enter the door and was pleasantly surprised to find that his precious son, who he regarded as his life, suddenly returned.

He also wanted to surprise his father to find that his son was not only cured, but also healthy and heroic.

He even handed over the 10,000 taels of silver tickets he had obtained from selling medicine to his father, whose eyes were wide and in disbelief as if he were in a dream......

Then, the father would tear his son with tears of joy and ask questions vigorously......

Thinking about it, the king who was turning around in the alley moved more quickly, almost trotting in the direction of home.

Arrived, finally arrived, far away, Wang Dong saw his own earthen wall courtyard at a glance, he took three steps and did two steps, and in a few blinks of an eye, he had come to the outside of the courtyard wall.

But when the mottled old wooden door came into view, he couldn't help but slow down, slower and slower, almost turtle.

Walking and walking, Wang Dong's body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the moment his fingertips touched the wooden door, two lines of tears rolled down his thin cheeks, and the scene of farewell a few days ago couldn't help but appear in front of his tears.

"Phew, Wang Dong, what's wrong with you, you should be happy at this moment, it's so unproductive, hehe......"

Wang Dong couldn't help but curse himself, he broke into laughter, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door with a "creak", and stepped into the courtyard.

"Who?"

Wang Dong had just entered the courtyard, and was about to take a good look at the grass and trees in the courtyard, when he suddenly saw a dark figure sitting cross-legged under the old maple tree by the dimly lit east wall, which felt very familiar.

Wang moved his right hand and walked a few steps closer with a stick, and was immediately stunned, "Huzi, Huzi, what are you doing in my yard?"

The fat black boy sitting on the ground snorted, stared at Wang Dong with a blank face, and said angrily: "You, who are you?"

Wang Dong couldn't help but be stunned, "Huzi, I'm Wang Dong, I haven't seen you for three days, you don't know me?"

"You don't lie to me, although I'm not very smart, but I'm not the big white pig of the Xiaolian family, you stay away from me, my mother said not to let me talk to strangers. ”

Huzi's small eyes widened, and he warned Wang Dong unceremoniously.

Wang Dong smiled dumbly, this kid hasn't seen him for three days, he didn't expect to be so stupid, what is this, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, pointed to the tip of his nose, and said:

"Huzi, look, take a good look, I'm really Wang Dong. ”

"Don't move, if you dare to come here again, believe it or not, I'll beat you,"

Huzi got up clumsily from the ground, raised a fleshy fist while intimidating Wang Dong, and muttered in a low voice: "You still dare to fool me, my good brother Wang Dong is gone, and he will not come back, you thief-eyed son brother still want to fool me? ”

"Won't you come back?"

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at his clothes, hands and feet, and suddenly realized that he was thin and weak like a firewood stick before, but now his appearance has changed greatly, and of course he can't recognize Huzi.

Not only did the unscrupulous Huzi not recognize it, but he believed that if he didn't look closely, even few neighbors in the neighborhood would recognize it.

Wang Dong smiled slightly, and was about to fool Huzi with the nonsense he had made, but at this moment, a woman's puzzled voice suddenly came from the direction of the courtyard gate behind him.

"Huzi, who are you talking to? Hey, who are you? What are you doing at Lao Wang's house?"

Wang Dong turned around and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged woman walking over with a vigilant face.

This woman Wang Dong is familiar with, she is the tiger son and his mother who have helped her family wash and wash from time to time over the years, Widow Zhang.

"Oh, it's my aunt, I'm Wang Dong,"

Wang Dong couldn't help but say hello affectionately, and he was still grateful from the bottom of his heart to the woman next door whose husband died early and had a bit of a big temper but a kind heart.

"You, you're Wang Dong, how is that possible?"

Aunt Zhang dragged Huzi behind her, and then looked Wang Dong up and down suspiciously.

Wang Dong explained with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, I am really Wang Dong, no wonder you can't recognize me for a while, it's like this......"

Next, Wang Dong concisely told Zhang's mother and son that his eyes were getting wider and wider, and the general meaning was:

After Wang Dong followed the master mentioned in the letter for a day, the master suddenly found a centuries-old miraculous medicine in the mountains, and then refined it into a few elixirs to help him heal his body.

Master was about to take Wang Dong to continue his travels, when he suddenly received a summons from an old friend, saying that he was invited to go to such and such a place to explore and play his life, and he might not be able to come back for ten or twenty years.

The master had to tell Wang Dong that the fate of master and apprentice was over, and after sending Wang Dong back to the outside of Red Maple City, his old man patted his ass in a dashing manner.

"You, you, ah, you really are Wang Dong. ”

After listening to Wang Dong's nonsense, Aunt Zhang was stunned, stared at Wang Dong's thin and handsome face carefully for a while, and suddenly got confirmation from between her eyebrows, and couldn't help but scream.

Wang Dong smiled and nodded, turned his face to stare at Huzi who was listening to the stupidity, and said angrily in his tone: "Huzi, I gave you candy to eat before leaving, and even the yellow paper wrapped in sugar was given to you, you don't know me now, I, I don't want to be a good brother with you." ”

"Hey, you're really king,"

Huzi's small eyes widened more and more, and he suddenly jumped forward and grabbed Wang Dong's arm, shook and laughed vigorously, and the ticking halazi shook Wang Dong's face.

Feeling that the fat hands holding his arms were so hard, Wang Dong's eyes were damp and nodded again and again, and he was secretly moved, you stupid boy with a little bright head, I, Wang Dong, have been your good brother all my life.

Just when Wang Dong just wanted to talk to Huzi, suddenly, Aunt Zhang, who was relieved next to her, changed her complexion, stomped her feet anxiously, and said: "Wang Dong, you are back, your father is him, he is ......"

"My father?" Wang was fierce, and a bad premonition instantly hit his heart, and he grabbed Aunt Zhang's sleeve, "Aunt Zhang, say quickly, my father, what happened to my father?"

"Alas, your father, something happened to him......"
