Chapter Ninety-Three: Going Home
Looking at the city in front of him, Xu Rong only felt a sense of peace of mind.
This is the place where he has been in this world for the longest time, and it is also the place where he has the deepest feelings.
At this time, he has returned to his original appearance, and he has also changed into a silk coat that belongs to the catcher.
Xu Rong led the horse into the city, and did not go to the yamen, but went straight to his home.
I haven't seen the old man for a while, and I don't know how he's doing during this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, Xu Rong bumped into Chen Xiaoer head-on.
Seeing Xu Rong, Chen Xiaoer showed a surprised smile on his face: "Brother Xu, you're back." ”
Xu Rong also smiled, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”
At this time, the old man's voice came from the courtyard: "These days when you are away, Xiao Chen has come to see me at two ends in three days, Ah Rong, you send Xiao Chen." ”
Because of the relationship between practicing martial arts, even if he is old and frail now, the old man's hearing is still quite good.
"Okay, grandpa."
He casually tied the horse to the door, and then walked to Chen Xiaoer's side.
The two walked towards the front side by side, Chen Xiaoer hesitated, lowered his voice and said: "Thank you for the previous matter, if it weren't for you, I might be gone, and my family would be implicated." ”
Although Chen Xiaoer was persecuted by the White Lotus Sect, if Xu Rong didn't help him intercede, he would definitely be more than lucky.
However, Xu Rong remembered that he had not pleaded with him in front of Chen Xiaoer.
Xu Rong asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Chen Xiaoer replied: "At that time, the captain of the Demon Suppression Division told me that if it weren't for your intercession, he wouldn't have let me go so easily, and it wouldn't even have much impact on my life. ”
He looked at Xu Rong's eyes full of gratitude.
Xu Rong suddenly understood, the reason why Tie Ying mentioned it was probably to help him sell his favor.
If Tie Ying didn't say it, Chen Xiaoer would definitely not know what was going on.
"It's not a big deal, I just mentioned it at the time."
Xu Rong waved his hand, there is nothing to show off in this kind of thing.
"It may be a small matter for you, but for me it is a major matter related to the life of a family, I not only saved my life, but I didn't even lose the job of the servant, it all depends on you to intercede for me, I don't know how to repay this kindness, you will not refrain from giving orders in the future."
Chen Xiaoer's face was serious and he was very sincere.
It's just that Xu Rong didn't take it seriously, if he took this seriously, and if he really called Chen Xiaoer at will in the future, he would be an enmity at that time.
"Don't worry too much about it."
Xu Rong stopped, "I'll send you here, you should be careful on the road." ”
"Okay, Brother Xu, you should also slow down."
Chen Xiaoer's steps seemed to be much easier, and he walked quickly in the direction of home.
Watching Chen Xiaoer's back disappear into the corner of the street, Xu Rong shook his head slightly.
He treated this incident as if it had never happened, and how to get along with each other in the future.
Turning around, Xu Rong returned to the door of the house and led the horse to the stable.
"Master, how are you at home these days?"
Xu Rong scooped a scoop of water from the water tank on the side and washed his hands.
The old man was lying on a bench in the courtyard, basking in the sun that was not hot in this winter.
"It's good, Xiao Chen, Xiao Huo and others bring something over from time to time, shhhhh
"I eat and sleep well at home, and I talk to my neighbors when I have nothing to do."
After a pause, the old man asked, "Ah Rong, what mission are you going to perform?" How did it take so long? ”
In the past, when my son was still around, I would sometimes go out on errands, but never for so long.
In more than a month, even if you go to Shenjing, you should run back and forth.
Moreover, the county commander Zhang Su and the head catcher Huo Mingjue and others came to visit him one after another, and he obviously didn't have such a big face, so it could only be done for the sake of Xu Rong's face.
But Xu Rong's own ability is not worth it for the two of them to do this in the old man's opinion, which shows that the errand Xu Rong has to do is very important and dangerous.
For more than a month, he was worried, but fortunately, there was no bad news, so he could barely rest.
Otherwise, before Xu Rong came back, his body would collapse.
Although the old man's voice was calm, Xu Rong still sensed the old man's worry.
Naturally, he would not tell the truth, otherwise once this matter spread, he would be targeted by the White Lotus Sect.
He is now fledgling, and he can't withstand the devastation of the White Lotus Sect.
And that will only make the old man more worried, after all, there are one and there are two, and if he goes out on any mission in the future, the old man will think about whether it is as dangerous as this time, and it will be even worse.
So, Xu Rong said slowly: "It's not a big deal, but it's quite troublesome." ”
"It's just that last time there were a few demon suppressors in the county, didn't I help them handle the case? People took a fancy to my potential, so they thought of letting me go to the Demon Suppressor to exercise. ”
"Look at my trip here, my strength has increased a lot, and I have changed blood now!"
Regarding his strength, Xu Rong rarely mentioned it to the old man, so the old man didn't know that he had already exchanged blood before.
And as soon as this reason came out, the old man suddenly realized: "So that's the case, isn't this a good thing?" Why are you so bothered? No wonder even the county order and the head catcher came to our house. ”
"And you have already changed blood, this is a great thing, no one in our vein has ever reached this realm, if your third uncle is still here, there will definitely be a few tables, that kid likes to be lively the most, and he also likes to show off."
As he spoke, the smile on the old man's face gradually faded, and his eyes lost focus.
Xu Rong bowed slightly: "Yes, if it were the third uncle, he would definitely do it." ”
Looking at the old man who was caught in his memories, Xu Rong said: "Master, there are no ready-made dishes at home, I'm a little hungry." ”
"Oh? Yes, yes, it's on the table, but it's probably not enough for you to eat, I'll go buy half a catty of sauce beef and come back, and then buy some other appetizers, and then we will drink a little. ”
As he spoke, the old man stood up from the recliner and moved quite neatly.
"Master, I'll go, you have a good rest."
"You've just come back, just stay at home, I'll just go by myself."
The old man waved his hand, "I lie at home every day, and I also need to move, if you feel too idle, make two more side dishes." ”
"Okay."
Seeing the old man go out with his hands behind his back and go out unhurriedly, Xu Rong was also relieved.
From the current point of view, the old man is physically and mentally fine.
