Chapter 17: Wang Dayou's Home
After walking for a while, I finally arrived at Wang Dayou's house. His home didn't expect it to be a fairly large courtyard, which is quite a well-off home in the world of ordinary people.
Ming Lingzi and his entourage also listened to him on the way, his parents are still alive, there are five brothers in the family, Dayou is the eldest in the ranking, and the following four younger brothers are two, three, four and five. Dayou works in an inn in the city, although it is very hard, but the income is quite stable, and the four younger brothers run orders outside to do business, and the income is quite good.
Dayou and his two younger brothers are married and have children, Dayou's family is a boy, the second brother's family is a girl, both children are just seven or eight years old, and the youngest two younger brothers are not married. Such a big family, with such a large population, so their family built such a big yard. There are two, four and five who will go out to do business, and there are three empty rooms at home, these three rooms have been arranged, Ming Lingzi has one by himself, Yu Changming and Liu Changzhen have one, and the remaining Zhang Yuancheng and Xiaolai have one room for the four of them.
Originally, Wang Dayou thought that the cultivator master would come to his own house, so he would have to let his family crowd and give them a few more empty rooms, this idea was useless and Ming Lingzi said to them, Xiaolai directly made the decision and refused, Dayou saw that Xiaolai could still call the shots, thinking that this group of people was really strange.
Just pushed open the door to enter, a man just hit the inside and came out. "Sanyou, why do you still have to go out, have you eaten at home?" It turned out to be the third brother of Dayou, and Sanyou said: "Big brother, why did you come back." Mom and Dad are still waiting for you to eat, this mom just asked me to go out to meet you, but I didn't expect you to come back. ”
After speaking, Sanyou looked at Ming Lingzi and his party who were following behind, this will Zhang Yuancheng, Zhao Yuansheng and Yu Yuantai are also working hard to learn the restrained momentum, plus the three of them themselves are not flamboyant, in order to pretend to be ordinary people, their fairy swords have also asked the master to help put them into the desire to hide, so Sanyou didn't realize that they were cultivators at all, thinking that they were ordinary people, and said: "Who are these people, are they friends with the eldest brother?"
"They are all," Wang Dayou didn't have time to finish, and his words were already interrupted by Xiaolai, "Yes, I went to Dayou's inn today, but I didn't expect that there was no vacancy, so Dayou brought us back." So there was a little delay on the road. Without waiting for Wang Dayou to finish speaking, Xiaolai said first. "Yes, Dayou is really a friend, and I'm going to trouble you these days. Ming Lingzi also spoke, he didn't want Wang Dayou to tell their identity as cultivators, otherwise when the time came, everyone in this family would tremble and keep calling him master, he couldn't stand it, and secretly praised Xiaolai for being clever in his heart.
Xiaolai had already quietly told Wang Dayou at this time, asking him not to tell him. Let yourself decorrate the master's friend, it is really embarrassing for himself, although Wang Dayou thinks so in his heart, he does not dare to say it.
"Since it's a friend of the eldest brother, there's no trouble to talk about, so they all hurry in. I haven't eaten yet, so I'll ask my sister-in-law to prepare a few more dishes. "Sanyou is also a bold and enthusiastic person.
A large group of people entered the courtyard, came to the hall, and met Dayou's parents, and Ming Lingzi and his party introduced them one by one. Ming Lingzi knew that if he introduced his own Dao number, it would inevitably be strange, but he didn't want to mention his name, so he simply omitted the word "Zi", in fact, "Ming Ling" was also quite strange.
Ming Lingzi and Dayou's parents chatted about family life, nothing more than where they came from, what they came to do, and how many people in the family said these words, fortunately, Ming Lingzi chatted with Wang Laohan in Xiaolai's village before he came, and he coped with it satisfactorily. Although Zhang Yuancheng and the three of them are in their sixties, they actually look like they are twenty or thirty years old, and their psychological age is actually about the same.
Only Wang Da was nervous, and he was worried that his family would say the wrong thing and do something wrong, and offend Ming Lingzi and them, but he knew that these people were all cultivators. Although Xiao Lai had told him that Ming Lingzi and the others were different from the other cultivators he knew, and he could get along with Ming Lingzi and them like Xiao Lai, Wang Dayou's deep-rooted thoughts still worried him. However, he saw that Ming Lingzi and they really didn't have the frame of a cultivator at all, and they talked and laughed with their own family, and Yu Yuantai also took out some gadgets to coax the two children to play, and finally put a little at ease in his heart.
Although Ming Lingzi and the others repeatedly said that they didn't need to bother and didn't need to add vegetables, they really couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the Wang family. Xiaolai remembered the scene when Zhang Yuancheng and Zhao Yuansheng had eaten when they first arrived in their village, and couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself, this time the Wang family's food is going to be wasted again. So he turned his head and chatted with Zhang Yuancheng about the situation that day. While talking, the three daughters-in-law of the Wang family came up with the dishes, and at this time, Dayou and Sanyou also brought out a big table, and so many guests came, of course, they had to be treated ceremoniously.
The daughters-in-law of the Wang family led the children to the kitchen to eat alone, Ming Lingzi and Dayou had them, and the whole big dining table was full, and the simple enthusiasm of the Wang family did infect Ming Lingzi and them, plus the fatigue of the day, the daughters-in-law of the Wang family cooked really well, Ming Lingzi They were good at eating this time, and they ate a little less than ordinary people. Wang Dayou works in the inn, of course he knows that in fact, the cultivators eat different things from ordinary people, and they all have special food, and he is worried that Ming Lingzi will dislike his family's food, but he is very happy to see them eating, and he feels that he is too worried, thinking that these cultivators are really different, maybe he can really get along with them like Xiaolai.
A meal is lively and lively, although the Tianling faction is very harmonious, like a big family, but after all, it is not really a family, especially the scene of a family sitting around the table to eat, Ming Lingzi and everyone are really full of emotion, if they don't cultivate the Tao, such a lively family is also a good life.
After eating, the daughters-in-law of the Wang family came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks again, and Ming Lingzi and the Wang family talked again, and they went back to their rooms to rest. While Dayou was taking them to the room, Ming Lingzi told him again and again, saying, "Dayou, don't mention our identity as cultivators in front of your family. If you look at dinner today, we are obviously the same as you, there is no difference. You'll treat us as friends, or we'll go find an inn tomorrow. ”
Dayou and Ming Lingzi got along with them a lot at this time, and felt that they were indeed different from the other cultivators he had seen, and when he heard Ming Lingzi tell himself, he finally mustered up the courage, no longer submissive, and did not dare to answer, and said: "Since the master said so, then do as the master said." ”
"That's right, but don't call me any master, make me like a rich man, just call me uncle. They," Ming Lingzi pointed at Yu Changming and them, "If you should call the eldest brother, you will call the eldest brother, and if you should call the younger brother, you will call the younger brother." We'll probably have to bother your house for a few more days, and we'll get along like a family, how nice it would be. As soon as Ming Lingzi finished speaking, Yu Yuantai came up, hugged Wang Dayou's shoulder, and said: "Brother Wang, you are too restrained, this is in your house, you are the master, you just listen to our ancestors, you look at how good it is for Xiaolai to talk and laugh with us." ”
"Okay," Wang Dayou seemed to muster up all his courage, and continued, "Since both uncle and brother say so, then I will do it." We will be like a family in the future. After speaking, Wang Dayou immediately felt unprecedentedly relaxed and sighed. Zhao Yuansheng and Xiaolai also came up to hug Dayou, and a group of people were finally all happy. When they were sent to the room, Wang Dayou told them to tell him if they had any needs. Zhao Yuansheng said that they were all a family, so naturally they would not be polite, and when they heard Zhao Yuansheng say this, Wang Dacai happily went back to his house.
Everyone stayed in Ming Lingzi's house, Xiaolai remembered what Ming Lingzi promised on the road, pestered Ming Lingzi to explain the matter, and Ming Lingzi motioned for Yu Changming to explain. "Xiaolai, you know, we cultivators have some powerful forces that ordinary people can't imagine, and if this power is not controlled, it will be released, forming a kind of coercion, the higher the realm of cultivation, the stronger this coercion is, ordinary people naturally can't stand this kind of coercion, so they will feel the horror of cultivators. After listening to Yu Changming, Xiaolai nodded, and said: "That's strange, don't you have this kind of coercion, otherwise why wouldn't the people in our village think you are terrible?"
"This is also what touches us strangely, because cultivators will have a way to control this power. Our Heavenly Spirit Sect has a special cultivation to learn how to control the coercion of being introverted, so you can't feel it. In my memory, every sect has this kind of method, but I really can't figure out what happened to the cultivators here, and they all gave up this kind of control. Maybe our Heavenly Spirit Sect has been in seclusion for too long, and we can't figure out the current cultivator world. After Ming Lingzi finished speaking, he shook his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Lai thought about his master, he realized that his master was the most powerful cultivator, not only was there no coercion on him, but there was also a feeling of comfort. Since Master is the most powerful cultivator, naturally what Master does is the most correct, that is to say, the Heavenly Spirit Sect is correct, so he said, "I think you are doing the right thing, although I have not cultivated the Dao, but from what you said, I feel that those arrogant cultivators are really annoying. ”
Zhang Yuancheng and the others also said that they were right, they didn't want to make people feel terrible every day, in exchange for false respect from others. Ming Lingzi was also happy to see that his disciples and grandsons understood things so well. Before resting, Xiaolai knew that Ming Lingzi and they were going to cultivate, and they were just about to go out, but this time Zhang Yuancheng asked him to practice with them. For the first time, Xiaolai didn't feel very resistant to cultivation, so he happily sat down.
