After the father and daughter descended the mountain, the compound hidden in the mountains was finally deserted again.

In the past month, although Zumuretti's twitter has made Happy have a headache, every time he sees her coquettish to his father, and Rehekiki's kind and caring look, and the warm father-daughter relationship, he can't help but miss his brother and father more and more.

Seeing that he was happy to look at the distant mountains in a daze, Qiao Zheng asked, "What, I am reluctant to let them leave?" Getting along with them for a month is a lot of affection. ”

Happy eyes were gloomy, and he said softly: "Master, I miss my father." ”

Qiao Zheng followed his gaze, looked at the lush mountains and forests in the distance, and asked, "Do you remember your home?" Remember your dad? ”

Xing Xing pursed his lips and said helplessly: "That house can be remembered, but what my father looks like is also vague." ”

Qiao Zheng said happily: "Yes, it's been ten years, let's go back and have a look if I miss my father, it only takes half a day to ride a horse from here to your house." If you want to go back, I'll accompany you to see it. ”

“……”

I didn't expect Master to be so happy all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Master, do you know where my home is?" I didn't even know where my house was. ”

Qiao Zheng smiled slightly: "I heard you mention Fengtou Village, I asked someone to inquire, Gaojia in Fengtou Village, Deyang County, your father's name is Gao Liang, he is a blacksmith, originally in a blacksmith shop in Deyang County, after your two brothers disappeared, he went home, and now he stays in the village to make irons for people to live, your stepmother gave birth to a male baby three years ago, called Gao Chengpan, nicknamed Pan'er, it seems that your father is looking forward to you and your brother going home as soon as possible." ”

After listening to him finish speaking in one breath, his happy eyes were as big as brass bells, and he looked at him incredulously, and said in surprise:

"Master! How do you know so much? I have another brother? What are you doing? Do you know why you didn't tell me? ”

Qiao Zheng said: "I just found out. ”

happily leaned in front of Qiao Zheng and said in a low voice: "Master, you always say that you are 'asking people' to inquire, and you say that you have eyeliner, how many people are under you?" That Zixu is also your person, right? Where did you hide them all, why didn't I see them? That hot senior is also your person? I see that he respects you very much, what is your relationship with him, and who are you? ”

Qiao Zheng rolled his eyelids at him and said, "Don't ask so much, child, listen, if you want to go home, I will take you back immediately, go and come back quickly, if you don't go home, forget it, you can stay here." ”

"Go, of course I'm going,"

I was happy at this moment, and asked excitedly, "Master, you said I was going to bring something back to my father and my little brother?" Now that I have money, I'll go to Yiyun Town to buy it right away. ”

Qiao Zheng said: "What can you buy with that little money?" Don't worry, Master, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, you wait here, I'll get it for you. ”

Seeing Qiao Zheng turn around and go back to the house, he muttered happily: "What can you prepare for me, you stingy ghost, it's better for me to go out and buy it myself." Does my dad drink? Men generally like to drink, so I'll buy a few jars of wine for him, and then buy some rattles for my little brother, a little sugar man, and a small set of clothes...... Didn't Jiang Lan say that she couldn't have children? No, she said that my brother and I couldn't give birth to her, so my brother and I were not at home, and she gave birth? Isn't it my brother and I who are at fault? If I go home now, and see if she dares to beat me, she is most afraid of snakes, and if she dares to beat me, I will let the snake bite her......"

He was dancing with his eyebrows here, and he was full of excitement when he saw Qiao Zheng going and returning, holding a small brown box in his hand.

"What is this?" Happy and curious to look at the box.

Qiao Zheng opened the lid and brought it under his nose, and the moment he was happy to see the things in the box, the two big eyes suddenly burst out, and his body was as stiff as wood......

I saw a golden lock of longevity, a jade hairpin, and a fist-sized gold ingot.

Looking at his semi-demented state like an electric shock, Qiao Zheng "hey" and said, "Do you want to put your two big eyes in a box and bring them to your father?" ”

When he really woke up the person in the "dream" with a word, he was happy and excited, and he hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then pressed his eyeballs back into his sockets. His eyes stared at the small box, and his little red face seemed to have just drunk wine, and even the two small dimples on his face seemed to be filled with sweet wine, filled with joy, and in the blink of an eye, he was surprised, surprised, surprised, stunned, and all kinds of expressions on his face were alternately staged, and he said helplessly:

"Master, Master, I'm not dreaming, am I? These are the gifts you have for me? ”

"What? Turn one's nose at? Qiao Zheng asked.

"It's too eye-catching, but, Master, why don't I believe it? You are so stingy, how can you be willing to give me these gifts? It's not going to be a magic trick for me, is it? When I give the baby to my father, and we walk on the front foot, what kind of stone and grass will suddenly become the baby? Happy obviously couldn't believe it was real.

Qiao Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "What do you want?" Is your master such a person? ”

Happy Fox said suspiciously: "Well, it's really hard to say." ”

Qiao Zheng: "Then don't you know if it's true or not?" ”

Happy picked up the ingot of gold, put it in his mouth and bit it gently, looking at the shallow tooth marks on it, he became more and more dumbfounded: "It's true, Master, you won't ask me for money, right?" I just have a few pieces of silver, and I don't have any money for you!" ”

Qiao Zheng snatched the gold and threw it into the box, "snapped" the lid of the box, stuffed the small box into his arms, and said, "Take it, I'll give it to you." ”

Happy with a messy light jumping in his big eyes, he hugged the box excitedly, for fear that the master would suddenly regret it and take it back, and shouted excitedly:

"You really don't want money? Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, am I? Am I glad that my ancestors have accumulated virtue and sent me a God of Wealth Master?! ”

Qiao Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be full of nonsense, scold the master for being stingy for a while, and then be the master of the God of Wealth, you hurry back to the room, put a new set of clothes on the bed, go and change them, let's go out again, I, thanks to you, also wear new clothes, and then let's borrow two horses, go and go back quickly." ”

"Shall you leave now?" I was happy, I didn't expect Qiao Zheng to leave when he said to go.

"Go early and come back early." Qiao Zheng said.

"Okay!"

Happy and overjoyed, he walked to the room with the box, but as soon as he took two steps, he stopped again, his eyes rolled around, and he turned his head and asked Qiao Zheng: "Master, where did you get these treasures?" It can't be stolen, right? As the old saying goes: 'A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way'. ”

Qiao Zheng raised his voice and said: "As the old saying goes: 'The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, he is full of food and support'." It was given to me by Zixu, if you want it or not, give it back to me if you don't want it, where is there so much nonsense? ”

Happy and happy, "Ah, it turns out that Uncle Zixu is so rich, then I'm welcome, I'll go change my clothes." He hopped into the house.

Qiao Zheng sneered: "This stinky boy taught me a lesson." ”

The two of them changed into new clothes, came out of their respective rooms, looked at each other, and suddenly were a little dumbfounded with joy, and praised without hesitation:

"Master, don't say it, you really have some indescribable noble feelings when you wear this brocade robe, people who don't know, still think you are a member of the court."

Qiao Zheng said: "Thank you Gao Gongzi for your compliment, but you are wearing this brocade gown, but you are more and more handsome, and we are more like a father and son when we stand together." ”

nodded happily: "It would be better if I could show your eyeballs, otherwise if anyone suspects that we are father and son, then I am really worried that there is something wrong with someone's eyes." He carefully tugged the small box into his arms.

"Hey, you stinky boy, you don't swear words when you scold people, and you still think my eyes are small."

……

The master and apprentice went down the mountain, went to a trader's carriage shop in the town, rented two horses, and galloped towards Fengtou Village.

The two horses traveled quickly, but in three hours, the two stepped into the boundary of Fengtou Village, and the word "Fengtou" was clearly engraved on a large stone on the roadside of the village.

Happy suddenly his heart beat like a drum, he turned over and dismounted, led the horse slowly, looked around, searched in his mind for the picture in his memory, although vague, but along the way, those fence walls that had not changed for more than ten years, small huts, small ponds, and chickens running all over the ground, all made him have a little familiar feeling, he watched all this with joy and excitement, his eyes exuded a crystal luster.

Following the memory, he walked along the small path in the village to the east.

"This young master, master, may I ask, who are you looking for?"

A call came from behind him. Happy turned his head to look, only to see a woman in her fifties standing outside her door looking at them.

Happy to see this woman a little familiar, but I don't know what to call it, originally he rarely went out at home, and had little contact with the outside world, at this moment, he had no deeper impression of this woman except for feeling a little familiar.

He hugged his fist at the woman and said, "This aunt, I'm going to Gao's house." ”

"The Gao family?"

The woman was stunned, she stepped forward, frowned, stared at the joy up and down, and then her eyes flashed with surprise, and suddenly turned around and shouted at the courtyard:

"Old man, old man, come out and have a look, hurry up."

"What's the matter, shouting and screaming, you haven't learned what it means to be reserved in your life!"

As he spoke, a man walked out, but he was sixty years old, with white hair and a straight back, and he looked very muscular.

"Ouch, old man, come and see, who is he?!" The woman's face was full of excitement and grabbed his arm and dragged him to Xing.

Happy looked at these two with stunned eyes, and didn't know why this woman was making a fuss, since she was from the village, she still had to be polite, so as not to be said that Gao Liang's son was rude.

He respectfully clenched his fists at the old man:

"Hello old man." Smiling slightly, the two small dimples on his cheeks rippled faintly.

The old man stroked his beard, looked him up and down, suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at him, and exclaimed: "Oh, look at the age of sixteen or seventeen, child, you, are you Gao Le?" ”

Happy and stunned: "Uncle, do you know me?" ”

The old man's eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "Sure enough, it's Gao Le, I've grown so big, these eyes are very similar to your father, and this dimple is exactly the same as your mother, child, I'm the village chief." ”

"Gao Le, I'm Aunt Wang, child, you're back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." Aunt Wang said, tears already falling.

Happy suddenly flashed a scene in his mind, he and his brother were often beaten at the beginning, it was this Aunt Wang and the village chief who helped each other many times, especially on the day they left home, he was locked in the firewood room and watched his brother being beaten half to death by Jiang Lan, so anxious that he cried, and heard the villagers shouting outside the courtyard gate, but the ruthless Jiang Lan did not mean to stop at all, and finally the village chief kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in, he was furious, and as soon as he grabbed the wooden stick in Jiang Lan's hand, Gao Yuan was not killed by Jiang Lan's fierce woman.

The memory was clear, and his gratitude rose up, and he knelt down with a "poof", kowtowed to the two, and called out:

"Thank you village chief, thank you Aunt Wang for saving her life back then!"

Aunt Wang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, choked and said: "Good boy, when you ran away, we don't know how worried we were, dozens of people in the village went out to look for you for two days and didn't find you, and now we know that you two brothers are alive, we are relieved, ten years, Gao Le is more and more handsome, if it weren't for the fact that you have the same pair of dimples as your mother, Aunt Wang almost didn't recognize it...... Woohoo......"

Village chief Zhao Yu said: "Gao Le, because your father can't see you, he misses you every day, and now it's great that you're back." ”

Aunt Wang held her happy hand, whimpering and crying with tears in her eyes, and Village Chief Zhao said: "It's a good thing that the child is healthy and healthy, what are you crying about, don't take the child home to see, Gao Liang should not be happy if he sees the child." ”

At this time, the villagers came to watch one after another, and learned that it was Gao Le who had returned, and when they saw his outfit, they were all overjoyed, and surrounded him, shushing him and asking for warmth, while hugging him and walking home.

I was so happy to be surrounded by these enthusiastic villagers, I couldn't get out for a while, and I hurriedly turned my head to look at Qiao Zheng, and when I saw that he was standing still and didn't move, he shouted:

"Master, Master, won't you come with me?"

Qiao Zheng smiled: "You go, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village." ”

Xing Xing had to reply: "Master, then you wait for me, don't walk around, don't get lost." ”

Qiao Zheng waved his hand: "Got it, you can go." ”

It was only then that the village chief turned his gaze to Qiao Zheng, stared at him for a moment, and asked, "Are you Gao Le's master?" ”

Qiao Zheng hugged his fist at the village chief and said, "Mr. Zhao, I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know if you still remember me?" ”

“……”

The village chief looked at him, as if he hadn't recognized him yet, and asked, "Do you recognize me?" You are ......"

Qiao Zheng said: "I've been looking for you for twenty years, but I didn't expect Linglong Bao Zhao Yu to hide in this small village to cultivate his self-cultivation, why, don't you remember moisturizing?" ”

He raised his hand and tore two pieces of flesh from his eyelids, and suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared, and the color of the eyes was gloomy.

"Moisturizing?"

The village chief was stunned and suddenly exclaimed, "It's you?!" Oh, I didn't expect you to be Gao Le's master? ”

Qiao Zheng smiled slightly, clasped his fists at him and saluted: "I can't hide it, today, Runze is making a special trip to visit you." ”

The village chief's eyes were full of surprise, and he hurriedly said, "Wing...... Ah, no, Mr. Runze, quick, house please. ”

He tied Qiao Zheng's horse to the pillar outside the door, led him into the courtyard, and stretched out his head to scan the courtyard gate, and then retreated and closed the courtyard door.
