Chapter 2 A Lonely Village in the Wilderness, A Glass of Water at the Intersection of Life and Death 2
The two chatted enthusiastically for a while.
Lin Hu figured out where this was.
Originally, this village was called "Jinshi Village". Originally not called this name, but a hundred years ago there was a young man surnamed Xue, he studied behind closed doors for 20 years, once went out to Linzi, worshiped into the Jixia School Palace, cultivated into a Jinshi, and came out of the School Palace to be a servant doctor of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, although it was ranked below Jiuqing, but it was also a time when the scenery was gone!
"Brother Xue, this Xue Mansion is the mansion of that Xue Jinshi back then?" Lin Hu asked curiously.
"That's right, that one is the ancestor of my Xue family!" Xue Wenhou said proudly.
"Just why now...... ......"Lin Hu felt that his words might not be very polite, so he stopped talking.
"Alas!" Knowing what he wanted to ask, Xue Wenhou sighed, the proud expression just now disappeared instantly, and he laughed miserably: "The so-called rich is not more than three generations. Our ancestors were brilliant, but we, the descendants, were mediocre. Except for the ancestors, this Xue family has never had any characters. In my generation, my parents died early, and now the Xue family is left with me and this empty mansion! What a tragedy! The descendants are not filial, and they are ashamed of their ancestors!"
As if touching his sad place, Xue Wenhou, who was normal just now, suddenly hid his face and cried bitterly.
Lin Hu, Xi Xi and Wan Tuhu were stunned for a while, looking at each other, the three of them had never seen this kind of battle, and they didn't know how to open their mouths to comfort.
The three of them were hesitating and didn't know what to do, when they suddenly saw that Xue Wenhou suddenly raised his face and wiped his tears, and said loudly: "How can my dignified husband be so decadent! I, Xue Wenhou, will study hard, and one day worship the palace, glorify my ancestors, and revive my family business!"
Speaking of Xing, he stood up, facing east, clenched his fists and feet, looking elated!
Lin Hu and the three of them suddenly collapsed, this Brother Xue really didn't need to be persuaded by anyone, and his emotions adjusted so quickly.
"Little brothers, where did you come from?" Xue Wenhou calmed down and sat down to ask.
"A few of us entered Zhao from Bashu, and now we are rushing to Linzi. Lin Hu replied.
Xue Wenhou's face was full of surprise: "It's actually from Shudi!"
After that, he gave a thumbs up and said with envy: "The three little brothers are really amazing! It is said that it is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books! I really envy a few little brothers, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, how chic and heroic! Unlike me, the farthest in more than 20 years is to go to the nearby county town!"
Xue Wenhou first looked longing, and then shook his head dimly.
"Actually, I think Brother Xue, you talk extraordinarily and have a strong atmosphere, you should be a successful cultivator! If you want to go outside so much, why do you want to be trapped in this small corner of Jinshi Village?" Lin Hu said curiously.
He had already seen that this Xue Wenhou was already a monk who had entered Confucianism and Taoism, and his pure cultivation had also reached the realm of Qi Induction, which was comparable to himself. It's just that this person completely relied on reading Confucian and Taoist classics to enter the Tao and draw qi. Although he has Haoran Qi in his body, he doesn't know how to use it, so he is stronger than ordinary people.
Xue Wenhou sighed: "How easy is it! What should I do if I leave this Xue family's ancestral house, this is the only ancestral shadow left by my ancestor......! Alas, don't say it, don't say it. ”
He waved his hand, reluctant to talk about it again.
Lin Hu looked at Xue Wenhou as if he had something unspeakable, and of course he didn't ask more. Talk to him about the customs of Dongqi.
Xue Wenhou also chatted with them about the scenery of Bashu and Dazhao......
The four of them were chatting when they heard the sound of someone slamming the door outside the door.
"Xue Da, Xue Da, are you at home?" The voice was a little sharp, like a girl.
Xue Wenhou's face instantly turned cold, he stood up with a wry smile, saluted Lin Hu and the others, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." This is my relative, and I ask the three of them to go to the back house to avoid it. ”
Of course, the three of Lin Hu are as guests as they please.
Before the three of them could leave, they heard the door being pushed open!
The man seemed to be impatient to wait, so he pushed the door in and walked quickly to the main hall.
Lin Hu raised his eyes and saw that this person was a forty-year-old woman. Although it doesn't look like a rich family, it is also wearing silk and satin, and wearing a beaded hairpin, which is several times stronger than Xue Wenhou's situation.
"Yo, Xue Da, you have outsiders! Who are these people? Look at the face!" The woman entered the main hall, sat down on the main seat, and sat down and asked in a strange manner.
Xue Wenhou's eyes were full of displeasure, suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced a smile: "Sister-in-law, these little brothers are passing by! I will leave them here for one night." ”
"Xue Da, don't blame your sister-in-law for not reminding you! This person is separated from his belly, how do you know if they are good or bad! Don't take everyone home! When the time comes, you will have no place to cry!" The woman looked at Lin Hu and the three of them defensively, and her voice was a little sharp.
Lin Hu touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Hu and Xixi couldn't help but glance at each other: We don't look like bad people!
In the end, the two of them looked at Wan Tuhu fiercely at the same time: You are fierce, dragging us down and being misunderstood, this black cauldron must be carried by you!
Poor Wan Tuhu looked innocent.
"Sister-in-law, how can you say that! How can they be villains! I and these three little brothers can be said to be familiar at first sight!" Xue Wenhou protested loudly.
"They're not, then I'm a villain?" Kindness is not rewarded!" The woman was messing around, glaring at Xue Wenhou and said, "Let's not talk about that, the crops in the field can be harvested?"
Hearing him ask, Xue Wenhou's momentum suddenly weakened: "Go back to your sister-in-law, put it away." ”
"Xue Da, my land is the best land in ten miles and eight townships. How many people want to spend a lot of money to buy, we have pushed. You can't just bully us into our ignor......ance just because you and my dead ghost are brothers!
Xue Wenhou seemed to be completely defeated, bowed his head and said, "Sister-in-law taught you a lesson." ”
"Are these three really not here to buy this Xue family's old mansion?" Seeing Xue Da bow her head, the woman suddenly asked sharply.
Lin Hu and the three couldn't help but be surprised, where is this?
Xue Wenhou said abruptly: "Sister-in-law, how many times have I said it." I don't sell this old house! Of course these three are not!"
"Oops, Xue Da. Why are you angry! If you have something to say, why do you say that you are guarding this big mansion alone! It is better to sell it to us for some money than to rely on farming to support yourself! What do you say that you are a scholar and go to the ground all day long!" Seeing that Xue Wenhou was a little angry, the mother-in-law hurriedly accompanied her smiling face and said all the good things.
However, Xue Wenhou just shook his head, and no longer had any stubble.
Seeing that she had spent half a day foaming in vain, the mother-in-law finally became angry and said: "Next year, I will increase the rent of your land, my mother, by fifty percent! If you love to rent or not, if you don't rent, you will stay in this house with your books and drink the northwest wind!"
After speaking, he stomped his foot and slammed the door.
Xue Wenhou's face was full of bitterness......
