Chapter 29: Into the Castle of Waijia
At this time, at the wharf of Huaijiabao in Jiangbei, a large family of men, women and children were patiently waiting for something. A middle-aged man led by a middle-aged man was wearing a clear water robe, with a thin and thin figure, a burnt yellow face, a small handful of goatees, and an extremely sleek face. At this time, he looked anxiously ahead.
When the sun was up, a small boat floated on the river, and the middle-aged man with a goatee was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly shouted in the distance: "It's Mr. Zhou on the boat!" Jiangbei Huaichou is waiting for you here! ”
This sentence doesn't seem to be big at first, but it's getting louder and louder, and at a glance, you can see that this person has excellent internal strength. At this time, the figure on the small boat was already very visible. On the left is a young offspring, dressed in a cloth robe. Behind the back is a large gun more than one person high. On the right, there is an old man who is slightly hunched over, smiling at the people on the shore. It was none other than Tianjisu and Du Jie who had left the Garan Temple.
Waiting for the boat to dock, Huaichou greeted him and said with a smile while arching his hand: "Jiangbei Huaichou is waiting for Mr. Zhou's driver, Mr. Zhou can make me wait for a big family!" ”
Tianjisuo said slightly apologetically: "The head of the Huai family is too polite, and the little old man came late for a while because of some things on the road." I hope forgive my sins. ”
Huai Chou hurriedly said: "Where is the old gentleman, the old gentleman can come to our Huai family is to take me Huai Chou as a friend, even if you wait a few more days, it should be, let's not stand here and talk, I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet for the old gentleman, please!" When he said this, he looked at Du Jie involuntarily, no! To be precise, he looked at the spear behind Du Jie, and then an irrepressible smile appeared on his face.
Tianjisuo nodded, and with this big family rushing towards the direction of Huaijiabao, although everyone was curious about who the young man with the Nine Dragons Soul Chaser next to Tianjisuo was, but they didn't ask much, and at this time, Du Jie always felt that there was always a pair of eyes in this crowd that kept staring at him, as if he was being targeted by a wolf in the northwest when he was young.
When Du Jie looked back, everything was back to normal. Du Jie felt strange, could it be that he was in too much of a hurry for so many days and had a delusion?
Huaijia Fort is located on the riverside of a castle site, I heard that this fort was the former site of a small country during the war of the Seven Kingdoms, when the Huaijia was strong, this castle was renovated, and then the moat was filled again, and became an excellent fortress with both offense and defense. This Huaijia town faces the river and is backed by Zhuoshui Mountain, which is an excellent feng shui treasure. But now, as the power of the Huai family is getting worse day by day, many super forces have begun to fight the idea of this fort. Huai Chou had no choice but to marry his sister to the big boss of the salt gang as a concubine, which was able to stabilize his position, Huai Chou, who was still at a loss, suddenly met Tianjisu a few years ago, and heard that he was looking for a young man who was looking for a gun, and immediately asked him to return to Huaijia Town desperately, wanting Tianjisuo to help him see if there would be a lucky person among his nephews. But how can the person who was shot so easily appear, just after Tianjisuo shook his head again and again regretfully, his ugly heart suddenly fell back to the bottom.
But I don't know if God thinks that the Huai family is too pitiful, and finally favors one of his eldest brother's orphans. This orphan's name is called Huaibi, I heard that there were three flying rainbows in the west on the day of birth, everyone said that this is auspicious, and the child was born with a piece of jade with a whole body of turquoise, so it was named Huaibi.
Frankly speaking, since the death of the eldest brother and the second brother of Huai Chou, although Huai Chou is still struggling to support, but the Huai family's family is still not as good as one day, which makes the life of these widows and orphans more and more sad, Huaibi is a concubine, so even when his father was alive, he did not have a few days of good life, not to mention that after his father died, he was almost treated the same as his subordinates in the Huai family, not to mention that he learned martial arts at an age, even the cost of literacy and hyphenation was not helped by anyone, before he met Tianjisuo, Huaibi is just a subordinate called a young master.
Huaibi was still helping to wash the dishes in the kitchen that day, and suddenly saw a team of guys running over outside, although he was curious about what was going on, but the bowl was not finished, and he and his mother had no food at night, so he just looked up at the team of guys and began to bow his head to wash the dishes again.
was washing, and suddenly a pretty shadow covered in front of him, and then a slightly naughty voice sounded: "Brother, everyone went to see the excitement, why didn't you go!" After hearing this, Huaibi didn't raise his head and said: "Everyone went to see the excitement, no one washed this bowl, you still have to eat at night, let my brother wash this bowl so that you can eat." ”
The voice paused slightly, and then said, "Brother, did Sanniang deduct your monthly money again?" Sanniang is really, she has to deduct this little money, your monthly money for a year is enough for her to buy a box of rouge gouache, no! I'm going to find Sanniang to comment! ”
After the shadow finished speaking, he walked out, and Huaibi hurriedly got up and grabbed him: "Good sister, my brother knows that you feel sorry for me, but under the fence, people will be regarded as a reward for eating, and don't ask for anything else!" ”
This person who is called a sister by Huaibi looks like he is only in his teens, a little smaller than Huaibi, and he is very peugeot, especially when he usually smiles with his eyebrows and eyes, he can be regarded as a favorite in Huaijiabao, but now he is angry, and he seems to have bullied Huaibi to make her very angry.
This person is the youngest daughter named Huairou.
Huairou saw that Huaibi grabbed her, and she didn't resist, so she looked at her brother and said, "Brother, don't do this kind of rough work in the future, Rou'er still has some pocket money here, all of which are given to my brother, at least I can make the fourth aunt and you live a little better." ”
Huaibi shook his head when he heard it and said: "Rou'er, my brother is already very grateful to you, I must not ask you for this money anymore, I can walk and run, and doing some work can be regarded as exercising this pair of muscles." ”
"Did that brother learn the five-shaped sword that Rou'er stole last time?" Rou'er asked softly again
Huaibi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Maybe I don't have the talent to practice swords, I haven't made any progress after practicing for a long time, and it's more difficult to comprehend than the previous five-form boxing technique." ”
"My brother is talented, if it weren't for these trivial things affecting the time to practice martial arts, my brother would definitely be able to stand out among the younger generation, I think my brother must not have a sword to take advantage of, so ......" As he spoke, Huairou pulled out a narrow sword from his cuff.
"The Soft Serpent Sword? Rou'er, where did you get that? Send it back quickly, you ......" Huaibi said in surprise
"Brother, don't be afraid, this is what my aunt gave me to use, I also know that the soft snake sword is not suitable for boys, but I can't find a more suitable sword for a while, brother, you can use this to practice the five-shaped sword first." Huairou said unhurriedly
"Then I can't ask for it, if I let my aunt know that I can pay it back, Rou'er will put it away quickly." Huaibi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but also categorically rejected Huairou's kindness
"Brother doesn't think about himself, he should also think about the fourth aunt, once you stand out in martial arts, you don't have to do such work again, for the future life of the fourth aunt, my brother needs to be motivated, and my sister just wants to help my brother." Anyway, Rou'er doesn't know anything about sword practice, and she has no interest, so it's better to give this soft snake sword a good place to go. Huairou said again
After hearing this, Huaibi stood there motionless and looked at Huairou, and finally nodded after a long time. And at this moment, a guy outside suddenly ran over, and after seeing Huairou, he finally shouted excitedly: "Miss Rou'er, the third master invites you to the front hall, Miss Rou'er!" ”
Huairou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked rhetorically: "Do you know what my father called me?" ”
The guy ran with a red face, panting and said: "I heard that it was the old man who came down to the mountain to find the young man and girl who was killed, and the old man finally invited him back to the castle, and now let all the young masters and young ladies under the age of eighteen go to see his life!" ”
Huaibi's heart moved after hearing this, and then his face quickly returned to normal, and Huairou smiled after hearing it and said: "I heard that Mr. Tianjisu is a great hero today, it's good to go and take a look, Brother Wall, let's go together." ”
Huaibi shook his head: "No, Miss Rou'er, I still have work to do here." ”
The guy also said, "Yes, Miss Rou'er, don't let the third master wait in a hurry." ”
Na Huairou glanced at the guy coldly, then turned around and said softly: "Just now Ah Fudu has already said that all young masters and young ladies who are under the age of eighteen should go, you go with me now, and then my father will not be calling someone to find you." Ah Fu leads the way! ”
The guy called Ah Fu was stunned by Huairou's glance, and he didn't dare to ask more and went to the front to lead the way, that Huairou saw Ah Fu walking to the front, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bi, you are still the master of this family, if the uncle is still there, you are the young master of this family, take out your young master's shelf, don't let the uncle in the spirit of heaven still worry about you." ”
That Huaibi nodded finally and was dragged to the front hall by Huairou.
