Chapter 118: Late Return
Chapter 118
There is a small village of no more than 100 households not far from Quang Binh City, because there is a dragon well in the village that is said to be formed by a dragon spit out a mouthful of saliva from the sky, so the village is also called Longjing Village. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the people in the village are kind, and they often interact with each other on weekdays, but there is also an old couple who always can't raise their heads and don't talk to people when they go out.
There are rumors that they are because their son left home, and the son who ran away from home is the only seedling of their family, there has been no news for several years, some people who can't control their mouths say that their family is going to cut off the incense, and the old couple is afraid of others making irresponsible comments, so they rarely interact with people.
It turned out that the man in that family was a violent temper, and before he had to change it, he had already used a firewood knife to find those 'nonsense' people, but for some reason, since his son ran away from home, the man's temperament has become more and more honest.
It was getting dark, and in a small wooden house not far from Longjing, a middle-aged woman lit the oil lamp on the wooden table with firewood that was about to run out, and muttered, "Old thing, don't go to the field tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be some accidents with your bones, and leave the wheat on the ground for two days."
The man took off the hat on his head and put it on the table, covered the sweat on his head, and said stubbornly, "It's okay, I can hold it, besides, if we don't have that acre of wheat, what will we eat in the coming year?"
The woman knew that she was stubborn, so she picked up the hat on the table, hung it on the wall, brought the meal from the stove to the table, handed the man a pair of chopsticks of different lengths, and complained, "If only Chaoge were still here, he will be able to help you share some of the farm work in the field." ”
The man seemed to be accustomed to the old woman's complaints, and after taking the chopsticks, he took a few bites of food before he replied gloomily: "Do you think I want to drive Chaoge away? Don't you know that Chaoge, when his grandfather was still alive, said that if Chaoge practiced martial arts in the future, there would definitely be a catastrophe, and I didn't let him practice martial arts just because I hoped that he could live in peace?"
The old woman filled half a bowl of rice and walked to the other end of the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and complained, "Every hexagram that my father calculated when he was alive has been fulfilled later, and when Chaoge was still in my stomach, our father knew whether he was a man or a woman, and he also knew that he would have natural divine power in the future, and after Chaoge was born, these were all fulfilled." But on the day Chaoge turned one year old, our father said that your royal surname would hinder Chaoge's future fortunes, saying that it was going to be changed to Huangfu, I had a temper for so long, but in the end I still agreed? I have always believed in my father's words, and I have not blamed you father and son, I just haven't seen Chaoge for so many years, and my heart is a little uncomfortable, so don't listen to it as the wind in your ears."
The chopsticks in the man's hand stopped and sighed softly.
At this moment, a choked low sobs suddenly came from outside the wooden house, and the man frowned and shouted, "Who's outside?"
The young man standing outside the door immediately wiped his tears, but he had never been able to hide his emotions, and his tears still slipped from his eyes one by one.
"I'll see," said the man, standing up and turning to the woman.
The man took three steps forward and slowly opened the wooden door......
The man froze instantly after seeing the young man's appearance, and his whole body trembled lightly without a trace, but he still endured the sourness in his heart with his stubborn personality......
The woman felt that something was wrong, and she put down the dishes and chopsticks and stepped forward, and when he saw the young man's appearance, he was also stunned.
The young man hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, half crying and half laughing, "Dad, mother, Chaoge is back"
When the woman heard this, her eyes burst into tears, and her hands, which had become sallow because she was used to housework, trembled slightly.
The young man put down the reins in his hand, stepped forward and hugged the woman tightly, and said in a choked voice, "Mother, the child is not filial......
Seeing this, the man on the side finally couldn't help but shed a hot tear.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" repeated the woman, stroking the young man's back.
It took a quarter of an hour for the woman to let the young man go.
The man looked at his son, who was already half a head taller than himself, and after a burst of emotion, he said softly, "I haven't eaten yet, let's eat first."
"Yes, yes, yes, eat first," the woman pulled the young man to sit at the dining table, her cracked hand always grasping the young man's hand and refusing to let go, urging the man who was at a loss, "Go and get the chopsticks."
Who would have believed that a proud and upright man a few years ago would obediently walk to the stove at this time, take out an oversized bowl from the cabinet and wash it carefully with clean water.
The woman rubbed the young man's hand repeatedly, and kept covering her face with tears on her face and asked, "Have you suffered a lot outside alone over the years?"
"No, I'm doing well outside"
The woman nodded, and then asked, "Where have you been all these years?" I have been looking for you with your father for a long time, but I have not been able to hear from you."
The young man replied honestly, "Not long after I left home, I met a very powerful father-in-law, and he took me to the palace......"
When the man who was washing the dishes heard the words 'inside the palace', he immediately stopped his movements, stepped forward and asked, "You mean that you have been in the palace for so many years?"
The young man may still remember the man's previous arrogance, but he was frightened for a while, and he nodded after a long time.
"Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
The young man nodded again.
The man was struck by lightning and was devastated by lightning.
The young man is naturally ugly, and after seeing his father stunned, he immediately persuaded him, "Dad, what you just said to your mother in the house, I heard it outside, don't worry, I won't have an accident, grandpa will always miscalculate so many hexagrams before his death"
The man sighed and replied, "Have you ever remembered that grandpa missed a hexagram when he was alive?"
Ugly and speechless, although he doesn't have much memory of his grandfather, but in his limited memory, his grandfather was indeed a god operator when he was alive, and he really didn't miss a hexagram.
......
"Hey, forget it, forget it, since it's already like this, let's leave it to fate" Finally, the man handed the washed bowl full of rice to the ugly and said.
Ugly took the oversized bowl and immediately devoured it, and when he was halfway through eating, he suddenly asked, "Dad, have you heard of the Imperial Guards?"
"Slow down, slow down, don't rush. The woman said as she served the ugly food.
"I heard your grandfather say, what's wrong?"
Ugly swallowed a mouthful of food, and asked again, "Have you heard of the general position of the Great Commander?"
The man nodded and said, "The biggest officer in the Imperial Forest Army?"
"Well, Dad, look at the war horse outside, it was given to me by the current commander of the Imperial Forest Army, how can it not be pulled?"
The man's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Ugly immediately nodded, "Of course it's true"
......
The man hurriedly walked to the door, tied the reins on the ground to the wooden pillar in the shed, and when the man found the armor on the war horse, he seemed to realize something, and then walked into the house and suddenly said loudly, "Are you lying to me again, do you think I don't know that the Imperial Forest Army can't go home to visit relatives without permission, you quickly say, did you steal this horse?"
Ugly got up and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
The woman hurriedly persuaded her, "Old thing, you yelled at the child as soon as he came back, do you want to drive the child out again?"
The man sighed and sat down, and said, "it, you don't know, if this stealing from the Royal Guards is discovered, it will be a capital crime."
The woman was frightened, and quickly asked, "Ugly, explain to your father, I know that although you were naughty when you were a child, I believe that you would never do such a thing."
"I ......!" Ugly still doesn't know how to explain it.
However, at this moment, an ugly and familiar voice suddenly came from outside the house: "My lord, are you there?"
