Chapter 66: Returning Home
Tonight's small village is destined to be a sleepless night.
After receiving the notice from the vanguard, Ma San immediately rushed back to the village, and gathered many prestigious people in the village to stand at the entrance of the village and wait, waiting for the young man's return.
A few years ago, their family was the poorest in the village. So poor that he doesn't even want to be neighbors with him, so poor that he doesn't have a house that doesn't leak rain, and even the beds, tables, chairs, and stools are thrown away by other people's homes and picked up by them.
Every day, their family worries about eating, and they may not be able to eat a meal of meat every year. is such a family, but the carp jumped into the dragon gate and produced a genius through the ages.
This child who was adopted back then turned out to be the son-in-law of the legendary Dugu family, and his background was very terrible.
In the small village in the evening, smoke rises from the cooking.
The villagers knew that the young man who had gone out was terrible now, but they didn't know to what extent. It is also necessary for this beautiful Ma Sanye to greet him at the entrance of the village in person, even if sweat is constantly falling on his oily shiny face, he doesn't care.
Moreover, the disciples of the Peerless Pavilion who came down from the Immortal Mountain also stood aside respectfully and waited, without the slightest complaint.
A middle-aged man in the village muttered: "What kind of big official is this three children now, it is such a big show." ”
The middle-aged neighbor whispered: "That time when I was drinking with the village chief and Ma Sanye, I mentioned that this third child is amazing now. Even the master of the immortal family had to be polite when he saw him. It's really unexpected.,A few years ago, this baby was still worried about eating enough every day.,Now it's okay.。。。 I knew that I would have asked my daughter to marry him at the beginning. ”
"Thinking too much, don't you know that the third baby stared at my girl every day at that time. ”
The head of the village greeted most of the men in the village, who had a certain say in the village.
And the father of the three children. The ancient three, but did not think so.
The sun was setting just right, and it fell under his roof behind the village. Gu San leaned against the corner and continued to smoke his large cigarette pouch, smacking and smoking, and eyes kept popping out of his nostrils.
He's still so sloppy, and he looks like he hasn't taken a shower for a long time, but he doesn't care at all.
There were two young men in Taoist robes on the side, and this young man was a disciple from the mountain who was about to be sent down to serve the ancient three. But they've been here for a long time and they're used to his style.
They were able to take care of Gu San here, and it was also because the sect gave them a lot of benefits, otherwise no one would want to come.
At that time, Ma Sanye wanted to let the ancient head come to the village, but he was reprimanded. If you want to flatter my son, just go and meet him yourself, and I don't have to flatter him.
I'm going to beat him up when he comes back.
Ma Sanye's old face was blue and white for a while, but he could only endure it with a dry smile.
Finally, after another half an hour, the Lord returned.
A few white clouds slowly descended from the sky, and above the clouds, several handsome men and women stood on them. The men are heroic and graceful, and the women are graceful and beautiful.
They look like mortal immortals standing above the clouds and overlooking the common people, they are so illusory and ethereal, and they are incompatible with this small village.
"Look, isn't that the third child? A middle-aged man from the village looked up and pointed to the sky.
It is hard for them to believe that the three children who used to be underfed and clothed, and who were bullied by their children all day long, are now so beautiful, and some of them are very remorseful. Why didn't you stutter more in the first place?
In fact, Gu Ning's appearance has changed a lot in the past few years, and he almost never washed his face when he was in the village before. There has always been a layer of ash covering his face, so few people can see his true appearance, plus the power of the Great Dao and the reshaping of his body by the aura in the past few years. They could only rely on what they used to look like to recognize that it was still the child.
The child who used to squat from a distance to watch no matter which family ate meat, silently watched a few times before leaving alone.
"Yes, the third baby is so handsome now. There was also a middle-aged man who sighed.
"What nonsense, his name is Gu Ning. "Ma Sanye is a little unhappy. He didn't allow anyone to say a word about Gu Ning in front of him, that was disrespectful to him.
Ma San's sudden anger made everyone stunned, and they all immediately shut up.
"Third master, village chief, you are still so enthusiastic... Gu Ning jumped down from a height of tens of feet in the clouds and landed in front of everyone.
Everyone was so frightened that their bodies were shaking.
Oh my God, he jumped from such a great height.
The crowd exclaimed.
The old village chief dragged his not good body, walked to Gu Ning's side with a limp, touched his body bones, and said, "Child, are you okay?" ”
Gu Ning grinned and said, "Grandpa the village chief, I'm fine." Look at me, it's okay. As he spoke, he spun around and said it was okay.
"It's okay if you're okay, scare my old man to death. My third brother said that you are cultivating immortals outside, it seems to be true. It's okay to jump down from such a high place, old man, I can be regarded as having opened my eyes today. The old man was very excited, he had lived for decades, and it was the first time he had seen such a strange scene. The age when most of his body is in the ground can still make him so excited, and he will die without regrets.
Other middle-aged people were also excited. When they looked at Gu Ning again, the smiling look on their faces had disappeared and gradually became serious.
After Gu Ning came down, several other people who followed also came down.
After Ma San was polite to Gu Ning, he still had to salute the other people. Although he is old, he is not of high seniority, and he is also an outer disciple, and it is already amazing to see a cabinet disciple.
"Let me introduce you. This Senior Brother Jiang Xiaobai is under the same roof as me. Well, this is Senior Sister Qinglian, who brought me into the sect in the first place. There is also this one, another saintess of the same sect as me, the snow fox saintess of the Northern Ice and Snow Goddess Temple. Gu Ning is very precious to introduce them one by one.
And the others also listened to the salute one by one, these people are very big, and they are poor people who can't be provoked.
"Village Chief, look at Senior Brother Xiaobai. He also has an identity. Our place is located under the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty, and this is the young master of our Great Qi Dynasty and the future master of the Great Qi Dynasty. As he spoke, he bowed to the heavens as a sign of respect.
"Senior brother, don't be sarcastic about me, I will rely on your strength in the future. "He was also not humble and did not deny his identity.
"Well, it is the blessing of my Jiang family to have the management of the village chief and the old man here, and the long-term peace and stability will be long. If the old man makes persistent efforts, Lone will definitely give you a reward. Jiang Xiaobai, as the emperor, also made his own answer.
And at this time, two young men who were serving the ancient three also came.
"I've seen Senior Brother Gu Ning, Senior Sister Qinglian, and Senior Brother Jiang Xiaobai. The two disciples looked respectful, without a hint of flattery.
"Thank you both for helping my dad all the time, thank you so much. Gu Ning didn't know what to say, and the sect sent disciples to take care of his father, which was a great gift to him.
"That's as it should be, junior brother. Uncle and his old man told us to let you and your brothers and sisters go back, and he had already prepared the meal. And the villagers also go together, everyone is tired after standing for a day. "This young man spoke nicely and politely.
"Okay, uncles and uncles are really tired, come home with me and have a light meal. I've brought some food and drinks with me tonight. ”
Although Gu Ning didn't have much gratitude to them, this was still the only place in his heart after all. It's where he grew up, and there's no place like it.
"Okay, since Senior Brother Gu said so, let's get drunk and rest. "It was Ma Sanye who spoke.
The earthen house of the ancient family is located at the back of the village, and there is a large area in front of the house. Some quick-eyed men had already begun to move large tables and lay them out. The women of the village slaughtered pigs and sheep, a scene that was even more lively than the New Year.
It is because of the return of this young man, the return of the scenery, and the return of the old man's face with light.
The old head was still leaning against the base of the wall, and the scene of busy work in front of him did not make him look up.
The rest of the village was also familiar with his strange temper and did not call him at all. If you don't wait for dinner, you don't have to call him.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy, San'er is back, I'm back. "Gu Ning has been out for several years, and only he knows how much he has suffered, although there is scenery, but he can't enjoy it alone. When he saw his old father still leaning against the wall and smoking, when he called out to the third father, his voice changed a little, and some were crying.
How familiar the view is, think back to a few years ago. He is still so depressed, worried about warmth, worried about being full, and hoping to have braised pork with oil flowers at every meal.
And today, he persists in his continuous efforts and has done it. And his former dream has been trampled underfoot, and he has higher ideals to strive for.
Many ladies in the village were secretly sad when they saw this moment. They really look at the life of this father and son, and now they can live a good life, they are really envious.
It was only at this time that the ancient head raised its head. knocked the cigarette pouch on the ground a few times and squinted his eyes and said, "San'er, I'm back." It's good to be back, it's good, it's good. Ahem, ahem, help me up. Old village chief, let's have a good drink tonight. ”
"Dad, you smoke less and drink less. Gu Ning persuaded.
"Little cub, your father and my body are tough, and this bit of cigarettes and alcohol will not help me. Come, little third son, you can accompany me to drink a few drinks tonight, uncles. And these friends of yours. All drink good and eat good. "After Gu San came back from Gu Ning, he seemed to be a different person.
My spirit suddenly improved, and I even talked more.
The two Peerless Pavilion disciples who had been serving him were very pleased. They hadn't even treated their old father like this, but they had come to serve such an old man for the sake of their future. Gu Ning is destined to treat them well.
When this task was first completed, no one cared about it for a long time. But when the name UJ of Gu Ning came out from the Golden Crow Ancient Xuan Realm to the Ninety-Nine Normalization Dao not long ago, they were very glad that they had chosen it at the beginning.
Their family also sent reports from time to time, telling them to follow the old man's wishes everywhere and not disobey them.
They know that the future of this old man's son is too great. Just give them a boost, and that's enough.
Tonight, have a good drink...
