Chapter 8: Threesome
In the evening, Shi Yu's grandmother, mother, and aunt gathered a large table of good wine and food to celebrate Shi Yu's success.
A large family of people sat in front of the dining room to celebrate Shi Yu's victory and Shi Yu's official becoming an adult, including Chen Chen and Xue Yan.
It was the first time for Shi Yu to be surrounded by stars and moons like this, and the words he heard the most were praise for himself.
Shi Yu's grandfather slapped Shi Yu's shoulder continuously, laughed happily, and said loudly: It is worthy of my grandson, worthy of being my grandson, shining on the lintel of my house, and growing my face when I am long, hahahaha. ”
Shi Yu's grandmother gave Shi Yu a dish, and kept chattering: "Xiaoyu will be an adult from now on, in the future, you must learn to take responsibility, and in a few years, marry a daughter-in-law and start a family......"
Shi Yu's mother also helped to speak: "Yes, you can start a family in a few years, and when the time comes, my mother will be in charge of marrying you a good daughter-in-law......" After speaking, she deliberately glanced at Xue Yan who was sitting at the other end of the table, and asked with a smile: "Xue Yan, did you say it?" Xue Yan understood, her tender face turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and nodded gently.
How could Shi Yu not see this delicate atmosphere, seeing Xue Yan shyly lowering her head, Shi Yu felt very embarrassed, and hurriedly complained: "Grandma, mother, look at what you said, you are thinking too long-term. ”
Shi Yu's mother saw that Xueyan was too shy, and this topic was not suitable to be talked about anymore, so she said in a round game: "Okay, okay, mother won't talk about it, I'll talk about it later, and I'll talk about it later." ”
Even the two children of the uncle's family, Shi Yu's two younger siblings, Shi Qingsong and Shi Qingliu, also came to congratulate Shi Yu and saluted Shi Yu like the New Year, Qingsong said loudly: "Congratulations to Brother Xiaoyu for winning the championship, I wish Brother Xiaoyu more and more powerful." After Qingsong finished speaking, Qingliu repeated his brother's words again, Shi Yu reached out and rubbed their heads, and after the two children blessed them, they laughed and ran back to their mother's side.
And Shi Yu's father, uncle, and Uncle Chen discussed the martial arts used by Shi Yu in the ring, and two of the three of them didn't know Shi Yu's self-created maze step, so they were full of interest. But Shi Yu's uncle was not in a hurry to tell them, and after they asked for a long time, he pretended to tell them about the lost steps.
After listening to the two, they both felt that the blue was better than the blue, Shi Yu, this kid, is like the martial arts star in the sky, he has such attainments at a young age, if he doesn't get along day and night, see it with his own eyes, but just hearsay, they will definitely not believe it.
Shi Yu's grandfather did not participate in their discussion on the side, but also heard Shi Yu's self-created lost step, he lightly smoothed his beard a few times with one hand, smiled and nodded a few times, deeply gratified, among the people here, he can most feel the power of creating a martial arts, he is from the Central Plains martial arts, when he was young, he knows that throughout the ages, people who can create their own martial arts are all in the martial arts A certain sect is regarded as the ancestor of the figure, Shi Yu's self-created lost step, is on the basis of light skills to improve, but not to reach the height of the founding school, but you can have such an understanding of martial arts at a young age, it has been quite amazing, if it is placed in the martial arts of the outside world, it will definitely become a big figure who shocks the rivers and lakes, attracting friends from all major sects.
But these are just fiction, only interests in the martial arts are the most real, those people, for the sake of profit can be treacherous, kill innocents, and maim the truly chivalrous, and because of this, he will move his family to Yinquan Village, away from the so-called rivers and lakes, and live a dull life, and now he has three generations in the same house, when he recalls his past life, he will still thank himself for making this wise decision back then.
The celebration banquet was about to end, and everyone had eaten and drunk enough, but Chen Chen suddenly announced a major news to everyone: he would take Xueyan out of the village and return to Yuezhao Country.
Everyone here couldn't believe that this was too sudden, and besides, Chen Chen and Xue Yan had both lived in the village for ten years, and everyone thought that they were like the rest of the village, born and sick here, and died for the rest of their lives.
Hearing the words of leaving the village coming out of Chen Chen's mouth, a sad breath of parting relatives and friends suddenly enveloped everyone's heads, this is probably the so-called joy and sorrow, just now I was still happy, and suddenly I couldn't speak.
"Uncle Chen, don't be kidding, why do you suddenly want to leave?" Hearing that they were going back, the most unbelievable thing was Shi Yu, how could the relationship between them for many years be dispersed in a word, seeing Shi Yu's expression when he was about to cry, and everyone's reaction, Chen Chen smiled a little bitterly, he immediately explained: "Everyone misunderstood, Xueyan and I just went back to Yuezhaoguo to solve a thing that had to be done, and we will come back afterwards, never leave the village, and die of old age in this paradise." ”
Everyone was relieved, and the mood was relaxed again, Shiyu's grandfather asked: "What is it that makes you have to run, and you have to take Xueyan this child, you know, there must be at least a thousand miles away from the world, and they are all vast jungles, high mountains and dangerous obstacles, and it is difficult to walk. ”
Chen Chen said helplessly: " Alas, I don't want Xue Yan to suffer with me, but I really can't grind away, this matter is a long story, just because back then, Yuezhao was stolen by traitors, the first emperor entrusted Xue Yan to me, and the remnants of the army led by me were chased and killed by the traitors all the way, when fleeing to the border, I could only choose to flee to this forest to escape the pursuit of the army, when I was at the edge of the forest, our army had a large number of wounded, and entering the forest would only slow down the marching speed of others, so our soldiers were divided into two ways, one was the unwounded soldiers I brought to protect Xue Yan and retreat to the forest, all the way to find a good place to hide, to heal the wounds, and when I took Xue Yan back to call them back to restore the country, we agreed that I would go back in at least three yearsSeven years ago, I missed the opportunity to go back because I wanted to cure Xueyan's dumb disease first, and then lead Xueyan back, and now, we can't miss it anymore, we are going, no longer to restore the country, but to break this promise, over there, they are still waiting for us to go back, waiting for Xueyan to go back, and lead them to recover the previous dynasty. ”
"Oh, I see, then you have to go early and return early, if you are in the village, it is best to inform everyone, after all, as far as I know, the village has only come in at present, and it seems that they have not gone out yet. Shi Yu's grandfather kindly reminded.
"We should have set off a long time ago, but we just happened to meet Xiaoyu's coming-of-age ceremony, we can't just leave, and now Xiaoyu's coming-of-age ceremony has passed, and when the martial arts competition is over tomorrow, I will explain it to all the fathers and villagers in the village, and set off the day after tomorrow. ”
"Uncle Chen, I'm going too, I'll go out with you. Shi Yu said coldly.
"This mountain is a long way, why are you going? Uncle Chen, they will go back when they go. Shi Yu's father retorted, obviously he didn't approve of Shi Yu going out with him.
"Yes, Xiaoyu, your Uncle Chen and they will be back soon, you can wait at home for a while. ”
"If you're bored at home, you can come to play with Aomatsu and Aoyagi. ”
Shi Yu's mother and other elders also began to persuade him word by word.
"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, and uncles and aunts, don't persuade me, I've made up my mind, now I'm an adult, I can make my own ideas, besides, you have seen today's competition, why can't you believe that I can protect myself, and I can also help Uncle Chen protect Xueyan, one more person can have one more helper, isn't it?"
"Xiaoyu, even so, grandpa still has to persuade you to ......"
"Grandpa, I understand what you have to say. Shi Yu's grandfather had not finished speaking, he had been interrupted, and Shi Yu said resolutely: "Since I was a child, I grew up listening to the stories you told me about walking the rivers and lakes, heroes and righteous men, and now, I also want to go to the outside world to see." It's a cosy village, but it's so big, so why not go out and experience it since there's a bigger world out there. ”
Shi Yu's grandfather shook his head and sighed: "You only listen to grandpa talk about the chivalrous things in the rivers and lakes, but you don't know that people's hearts are sinister and the world is complicated, you must be more careful when you go out on this trip." ”
Shi Yu heard the turning point in his grandfather's words, and hurriedly said excitedly: "Thank you grandpa for your support." ”
"Old man, you ......" Shi Yu's grandmother couldn't believe it after hearing it, and was about to question it, but Shi Yu's grandfather waved his hand and said no more, he said to everyone: "Xiaoyu has indeed grown up, and he can't be tied to him, let him choose for himself." ”
Shi Yu's grandfather is the head of the family in this family, and what he said has the most weight, although Shi Yu's father and mother are a little worried, but Shi Yu insists on going, and it is not easy to say anything.
"Xiaoyu, you must listen to your Uncle Chen along the way. Shi Yu's mother said reluctantly.
"Mother, don't worry, we'll be back soon. The mother agreed, and said happily.
Shi Yu's father didn't say anything, it could be regarded as a tacit approval. Shi Yu looked at Shi Zhenyun and said confidently: "Dad, don't worry, we will return safely." ”
Shi Zhenyun took a breath and said reluctantly: "You stinky boy, even if we all agree, you haven't asked your Uncle Chen if he agrees?"
"Uncle Chen, I'm sure you won't disagree. Shi Yu begged.
Chen Chen glanced at everyone present and said, "Since everyone agreed, then I'll take you there once." ”
"Uncle Xie Chen. Shi Yu shouted excitedly.
Shi Yu, Chen Chen, and Xue Yan went out of the village in this way, and only tomorrow, all the things that should be settled were settled, and the three of them embarked on the eastbound road and went to Yuezhao Kingdom, but the hunting knife carefully built by Shi Yu's uncle just obtained was not used for the time being.
