Chapter 26, Daddy Su and Daqingshan
By the time Xiao Xiuwen and Daddy Su and his party returned to the village, it was already midnight, and Daddy Su and Xiao Xiuwen hurriedly washed and fell asleep in the dim kerosene light. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, it was just dawning.
Today, Daddy Su deliberately got up early in the morning, packed up and prepared to go out to collect ingredients, today Daddy Su wants to make some delicious food by himself, and appease the little cultivators.
In Daddy Su's opinion, at this age, Xiao Xiuwen should have been carefree, and when they were naughty and coquettish around their parents, it was because of themselves that they experienced such a bloody thing as hammering and killing enemies at a young age.
In order to clear up the troubles for himself, he followed himself on a long journey to Yulong Mountain and ran back and forth, and a few little guys were in a hurry almost all day, and they returned to the village in the middle of the night.
For these, Daddy Su felt sorry, so he was ready to show his hand today, cook some specialty dishes, and treat this group of sensible little guys well.
Daddy Su cleaned up and looked at the little Xiuwen who were still sleeping, it seems that the little ones are really tired, if it was this time in normal times, the little ones would have woken up a long time ago and started to run around the house.
Looking at the little cultivators who were sleeping sweetly, Father Su walked out of the house lightly, and then carefully closed the door of the house, lest he wake up the little cultivators.
Coming to the small courtyard, Daddy Su took the tools, carried the bow and arrows on his back, and prepared to go to the mountains to collect ingredients, you know, the matsutake mushrooms, mushrooms and wild vegetables picked in the morning while the dew is quite fresh and fat, and then hunt a few pheasants and hares, if you are lucky, hit a small wild boar or something bigger game, a hearty meal will basically live.
Father Su pushed open the courtyard gate, walked out of the courtyard, and suddenly found a person standing at the courtyard gate.
The old village chief shrank his head and leaned against the fence of the courtyard wall, and from time to time he stomped his feet, looking at the dew all over his body, it was estimated that he had been here for a short time.
"When did you come? Why don't you go in since you're here? Standing outside and working hard? Looking at your dewy appearance, it's been a short time since you've been here?" Father Su looked at the embarrassed old village chief in surprise and asked.
"Oh, it didn't take long, it didn't take long, I didn't come until it was too bright, and after I came, I found that it was still early, you should still be sleeping, no, I didn't dare to knock on your door for fear of disturbing your sleep, I thought, you have to go out after all, so I just waited for you to come out at the door." The old village chief said with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing? When did you become so polite, I haven't seen you so polite a few times before, didn't you all push the door and go in?" Father Su asked funny.
"This, this is different, this time is different from the past, this is not worthy of you, am you embarrassed, then you can still kick the door as soon as you come up, don't you seem sincere when you wait at the door?" the old village chief squeaked and explained embarrassedly.
"Why are you ashamed? This is not like you, you old boy has always given me the impression of being faceless and skinless, and suddenly I am embarrassed, I really can't adapt to it all of a sudden, let's say! What is the matter with me, if there is nothing wrong, I will go up the mountain, today I am ready to show my skills, make a good meal for the little ones, go up the mountain early and come back early. ”
Father Su closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and while talking to the old village chief, he was about to walk towards the mountain.
"Hey, hey, don't worry! When can you change your urgency, I'll do two things. When the old village chief saw that Daddy Su was really ready to leave, he immediately became anxious, and he couldn't pretend to be polite anymore, so he grabbed Daddy Su and hurriedly said.
"Tell me if there's something, let it go quickly! I'm really in a hurry to go up the mountain. Father Su said impatiently.
"Didn't I want to ask you, what happened to the bandits? How did you talk to them when you went to Jade Dragon Mountain, and how much rent did you have to pay?
Also, I know that what the villagers did yesterday hurt your heart, and the matter of the bandits had nothing to do with you, and I was cheeky enough to ask you for help, but in the end, it became your business.
Not only did everyone stand by and watch, but in the end, because of the threat of the second leader, there was no one to send you arrows, and you were almost killed, which was really unkind. I'm sorry for you, but our whole village can't stand you. ”
The old village chief said with a face full of shame, lowering his head, not daring to look at Father Su.
"What should I do, the problem of the bandits has been solved, and when I go, the building is already empty.
But judging from the dilapidated walled gate, and the bloodstains and battle traces that can still be seen at the scene although they have been covered up, Yulong Mountain should have experienced a big battle before we went.
Therefore, the original bandits are either dead or have run away, anyway, Yulong Mountain will not pose a threat to the village in a short time, you and the villagers can rest assured. Father Su said comfortingly.
It seems that the cover-up work of the little Xiuwen is not in place, and Daddy Su still sees the traces of the battle, but fortunately, Daddy Su did not think of the little Xiuwen's body, in his opinion, it should be an internal battle between bandits.
After comforting the old village chief, Father Su said again: "As for the villagers' affairs, I didn't take it to heart, it's just human nature, it's understandable, but that's all I have to say, I'll tell you something, I hope you have a psychological preparation, I'm leaving!"
Originally, when he heard that the matter of the bandit was solved, the old village chief's hanging heart had just been put down, and the smile on his face had just bloomed, but Father Su said, "I'm leaving!" and held back.
"Didn't you take it to heart? Why are you leaving again? Can't I apologize to you? I'll ask the whole village to apologize to you. Why do you want to leave?"
"Actually, it has nothing to do with the people in the village, I have to leave, mainly because of the children.
As you can see, these sixteen little ones are already powerful at a young age, all of them are talented, very intelligent, and their future achievements are limitless, and the place here is too small to accommodate the soaring of a real dragon.
I am already half-crippled, and there is no major development, but the children will not be delayed in my hands in the future, so I am ready to take them back to Daqingshan. Daddy Su explained.
Twenty years ago, you returned to the village full of injuries and dying, saying that you had lost all your cultivation and didn't want to go back to see the white eyes of others, and that when you were young and vigorous, you erected a lot of enemies in the door, and later you lost your cultivation, so you decided not to go back to the mountain for self-preservation? Now you go back again?
The old village chief heard that Daddy Su was going to take the children back to Daqingshan together, because he knew that Daddy Su was unwilling to go back to the mountain, so he asked worriedly.
"Actually, it's nothing, for the sake of the little guys, what is my cheekiness? Besides, after all, I have made many meritorious contributions to the sect before, even if I am no longer cultivating now, the sect will give me a little bit of face for the sake of my many past exploits, and it will not embarrass me a lot.
Comparatively speaking, the future of the little ones is more important, I don't want them to have such talent but bury it in the hands of my father, at least this "daddy" can't be called in vain, right, old man. ”
Father Su smiled and patted the old village chief on the shoulder and said.
The old village chief knew that Father Su had made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him, thinking that the old brother who had been separated for many years was about to separate, his heart was full of sorrow for a while, and he was speechless.
Looking at the silent old village chief, Father Su knew that he was uncomfortable, so he stepped forward and hugged the old brother who had been hugging him for more than 20 years, and patted the old village chief on the back vigorously: "Old guy, after I leave, you have to take care of yourself!"
The old village chief nodded silently, didn't say anything more, stretched out his hand to take the basket on Daddy Su's back, and wanted to accompany Daddy Su up the mountain together, he wanted to accompany his old brother for more than 20 years, the two are old, this difference, I don't know if there is a chance to see each other again.
Father Su did not refuse, and the two of them went up the mountain together. At noon that day, the old village chief did not go home for dinner, and the two old men were drunk and burst into tears at Daddy Su's house. Frightened, the little repairers comforted again and again, but they still couldn't persuade them.
The next day, before dawn, Father Su secretly left the village with the little cultivators.
And in the old village chief's house, the lights have not been extinguished since last night, and after a long time after Father Su and Xiao Xiuwen left, a long sigh came from the house, and then the lights were turned on overnight and went out.
