Volume 1 [Beginning to Cultivate Truth] Chapter 8 Returning Home
After changing the food that day, the skinny monkey did not leave in a hurry, but told Zhao Dong a message that they could go back to visit their relatives in the next three days.
Those old miscellaneous disciples all knew these words, so they didn't need to say it at all, they just needed to talk to Zhao Dong and them.
"I didn't expect that such a year would pass. An old handyman disciple said such a sentence with emotion, and Zhao Dong only realized at this time that it had been almost a year since he became a handyman.
Zhao Dong, who hadn't seen his parents for so long, naturally missed him very much, but he didn't know how to face his parents.
Parents know that they are just a miscellaneous disciple, and I am afraid that there will be no light on their faces, but how can people from the same village who participated in the trial but did not pass it go back and did not tell them?
Just when Zhao Dong and the others were thinking about how to face their relatives, the two Tian Zheng brothers stood aside and said nothing, since the skinny monkey notified the news, there was something wrong with the two of them, but no one cared about their unusualness.
It's a sleepless night where almost all of us toss and turn and can't sleep because we don't know how to face our loved ones.
However, there are still a small number of people who can't sleep because they will become outer disciples after this time, looking forward to a better future
When Zhao Dong opened his eyes, he saw Lin Han sitting quietly watching him, there was no one around him, and he didn't know if they were all gone.
Lin Han saw that Zhao Dong was awake and said, "When you wake up, clean up, let's go home." ”
Although Zhao Dong was a little strange why Lin Han was waiting for him here, he still quickly packed up, after all, the time was only three days, and he still needed to cherish it.
After packing up everything, Zhao Dong and Lin Han walked out of the cave together, perhaps because they had just woken up, Zhao Dong was shivering from the cold wind as soon as he came out.
"If you put this on your body, you won't feel the cold, and it will last for a day. Lin Han didn't know where to take out a few pieces of yellow paper, which were carved with strange patterns.
"And this thing that you stick to your legs, it's going to increase your speed a lot. Will be able to go back soon. Lin Han didn't know where to take out a few pieces of cyan paper, which were also engraved with some strange patterns.
Zhao Dong glanced at Lin Han with some doubts, and then pasted a piece of yellow paper on his body as he said, and suddenly a warmth emanated from the yellow paper to his whole body, removing the cold.
Pasting the cyan paper on his legs, Zhao Dong felt that he was fluttering lightly all over his body, and his speed was several times higher than just now.
Just when Zhao Dong was surprised, Lin Han had already walked in front, looking at Lin Han who was only wearing a white shirt, Zhao Dong suddenly felt that the distance between the two of them was so big that he could only watch him move forward from a distance.
"Why are you still stunned? Lin Han looked at Zhao Dong, who was standing in place, and shouted, he didn't know what happened to Zhao Dong today, he just didn't know what to do if he hadn't returned home for a long time.
Zhao Dong came back to his senses when he heard Lin Han's voice, and sped up to catch up, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Dong felt that the gap between him and Lin Han had widened a lot in the past year, and Lin Han was no longer in the same circle as him.
Although it looks like they can still talk together now, what about in the future?
Lin Han's talent is much better than him, it is not comparable to him at all, the gap between them will only get bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to catch up at all.
The Xuanyuan Sect was not far from Zhaojia Village, and Zhao Dong and the two of them walked for less than two hours before they arrived, and it was still Lin Han who suppressed the speed, otherwise it wouldn't take him long to arrive.
After separating from Lin Han at the entrance of the village, Zhao Dong came to the door of his house, looking at the closed door, Zhao Dong was a little afraid to push open this door, he didn't know how to face his parents.
When the judgment continued to be chaotic, Zhao Dong finally pushed open the door, no matter what, he needed to face it, even if the result was not good, there was no way.
After pushing open the door, Zhao Dong saw his parents sitting there eating, and there were only two vegetables and one meat on the table.
"Dad, mother. Dong'er is back, and the child has not come back to see you for so long. Zhao Dong's words made his parents react, and their children came back to see them.
After reacting, they became scrambling, and they were a little embarrassed to think that they didn't have anything to eat to greet their children.
"Dong'er, you stay here, Dad, I'll go out and get you something to eat. The child should get some food for the child first, and he should be hungry all the way. Father Zhao hurriedly stood up and took the hunting tools and left, Zhao Dong didn't even have time to stop it.
"Dong'er, you sit here and wait for a while, and my mother will make you something to eat. Looking at his mother who was about to make food, Zhao Dong grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, I'm not hungry." ”
"How can you not be hungry all this way? Zhao's mother slapped Zhao Dong's hand away and walked to the kitchen, leaving Zhao Dong sitting there alone.
Zhao Dong looked at the food on the table and didn't know what to say for a while, the meals on the table were all ordinary and the cheapest.
His parents have been working hard all their lives and are reluctant to waste a little money, but he has lived up to their expectations and just become a miscellaneous disciple, which makes Zhao Dong feel like there are thousands of ants biting in his heart.
After a while, Zhao's mother came out with Zhao Dong's favorite food, and Zhao Dong couldn't help but shed tears when she looked at the food in her mother's hand.
"Oh, why are you still crying like a child when you're so old?" After Zhao's mother put down the food, she stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Zhao Dong's eyes.
"Mother, I'm ......" Zhao Dong was interrupted by his mother as soon as he wanted to say something, and his mother patted Zhao Dong's back and said, "I know that you are working hard in the sect, but after all, you have to work hard to become a disciple of the outer sect." ”
"Mother, who told you this?" Zhao Dong was a little surprised to hear his mother say that he was an outer disciple, but he still quietly hid his surprise.
"These are all what Lin Han told me, saying that you almost failed, but the next day, after the assessment of the miscellaneous disciple above, you made an exception to become an outer disciple. ”
"Those failed dolls in the village came back and said that you were a miscellaneous disciple, but fortunately, Lin Han gave you that explanation when he came back. ”
"You don't come back often, Lin Hanke comes back once every two months. I don't know if you have me and your father in your heart. Hearing his mother's words, Zhao Dong breathed a sigh of relief, he was very grateful to Lin Han for telling his parents that he was an outer disciple, so that the two of them could feel at ease.
However, in this way, he has no pressure to face his parents, and he only needs to hide it for three years, and he will really become an outer disciple as Lin Han said.
Zhao Dong, who was in a good mood, ate his favorite food while communicating with his mother, after all, he had eaten steamed buns for so long, and now he has delicious food, of course, he has to eat more.
"What are you in a hurry, you kid, no one is robbing you, if it's not enough, I'll do it again." Mother looked at Zhao Dong who was gobbling up and said, although there was some reprimand on her lips, her eyes were full of tenderness and love when she looked at Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong was eating something in his mouth, and replied vaguely: "Because the things made by my mother are delicious." Although it is just such a simple sentence, it is very satisfying for Zhao's mother.
How can a parent not want their children to like to eat what they make? So Zhao Dong likes to eat what he makes so much, so he is naturally very satisfied.
Just as Zhao Dong was communicating with his mother, his father came back, and his father came back with two rabbits and a pheasant.
After putting the prey in the kitchen, he walked out and picked up Zhao Dong, and laughed after feeling that Zhao Dong's body was tougher than before.
Zhao Dong felt a sense of warmth and security from his father's embrace, and this embrace was so warm that Zhao Dong didn't want to leave, and he wanted to be like this all the time.
"Yes, my body is getting better and better. I've suffered a lot outside, right? I'm back, I'm fine. "Father Zhao, a big man, didn't know what to say, but just told Zhao Dong that everything was fine when he came back
"You father and son have a good chat here, and I'll go in and make food for you." Zhao's mother left Zhao Dong and the two of them outside to cook by herself.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, Zhao Dong didn't know how to speak, and Zhao's father didn't know where to start asking Zhao Dong.
"Are you doing well in the sect?" In the end, Zhao's father spoke first, and asked if Zhao Dong was doing well in the sect.
"Well, the senior brothers in the sect are all very easy to get along with. I don't have a good relationship with them. "No matter what the children suffer outside, they will not tell their parents, they will only say that everything is fine, and Zhao Dong is naturally the same.
"Since we get along well, it's good, I'll come back to see your mother more often when I have time in the future. Every time she thinks of you, she can't help but shed tears. "Although Father Zhao just said that Mother Zhao misses Zhao Dong, how could he not want to?
The mother of the child is worried, but how can his father not be worried?
Just when Zhao Dong and Zhao's father didn't know what to talk about, Zhao's mother walked out of the kitchen, and Zhao's mother had dealt with the pheasants and rabbits, and she only needed to wait for time.
"You two are really, can't you chat?" Zhao's mother was also a little speechless when she heard the chat between Zhao Dong and the two in the kitchen, and the two old men didn't know how to chat.
Now that Zhao's mother came out, following Zhao's mother's words, the three of them began to talk about the short things of those parents in the village.
At this moment, Zhao Dong felt as if he had returned to the beginning and nothing had changed, as if he had not gone to the assessment and had stayed in the village.
"Oops, I've forgotten the time, and I don't know if the water is dry. Mother Zhao suddenly ran to the kitchen in a hurry, it turned out that she forgot to eat on the pot because she was talking too energetically.
Looking at Zhao's mother and Zhao's father, who were in a hurry, laughed, and Zhao Dong laughed heartily when he saw all this.
"You two are embarrassed to laugh, don't you want to remind me. But it's good that the water hasn't dried up yet, otherwise I'll see what you're going to eat. Mother Zhao walked out with food, and said angrily that Zhao Dong and the two gloated.
"Ahem, let's see what your mother makes for you. Father Zhao changed the topic at this time, he didn't want to be nagged by Mother Zhao all the time.
"You know how to eat, eat, eat, this is made for Dong'er, let him eat it first and then give it to you. Mother Zhao put the food in front of Zhao Dong and asked him to eat it first.
Zhao Dong took a piece and put it in his mouth, it was still the original taste or the original formula.
"Daddy, you two can eat it too, this is still as delicious as before." Zhao Dong handed the chopsticks to his mother and motioned for her to taste them.
After Zhao's mother took the chopsticks, she didn't pick them up for herself to eat, but sandwiched a piece for Zhao's father to eat, Zhao's father ate it with a satisfied face, and looked at Zhao Dong a little provocatively.
"I'm not old yet, and the child is still young. Zhao's mother was also a little speechless about Zhao's father's behavior, she was still like a child at such an old age.
Zhao Dong is also not small, and he will be able to marry a daughter-in-law in a year or two. I think the sixth child at the east entrance of the village is good. Zhao's father heard Zhao's mother say that Zhao Dong was still young, and directly refuted it.
"It's the same when you say that, in a year or two, we Zhao Dong can also marry a daughter-in-law. Our Zhao Dong also joined the immortal sect, but after joining the immortal sect, he will become an immortal, which one is her blessing in Dong'er's eye. Mother Zhao naturally agrees with this, she doesn't think that her children are worse than others.
Zhao Dong didn't interject when he heard his parents talking about this topic, because he knew that if he spoke, he was afraid that his parents would let him choose one of the girls in the village.
