Chapter 364: The Current Situation of Huanxi Villa
Yes, as soon as these words came out, Qiu Ju didn't know where the young man in front of him was Zhang Xiaohua back then.
She covered her mouth and smiled, dodged away, and said, "Xiaohua, come in." β
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and entered Qiu Ju's house.
The layout of the inner courtyard house is obviously different from the hut where Zhang Xiaohua lived before, if it is a sleeping kang as soon as you enter the house, of course Qiu Ju will let Zhang Xiaohua come in so late, this is obviously a cottage similar to the living room, a small table is placed in the middle, and stools are placed all around, Zhang Xiaohua entered the house, and found a stool to sit on, Qiu Ju picked up the teapot from the side, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body first." β
Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her hand to take it, took a sip slightly, and was about to put it down, Qiu Ju said: "Don't put it down, just take it like this, it can also warm your hands." β
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu Ju is really careful. β
Although he was not afraid of the cold and heat, he still held it with both hands, and was about to speak, Qiu Ju said: "Xiaohua, where have you been in the past few years? I remember five years ago, I heard Sister Qiu Tong say that you were missing and killed by a group of bandits, hehe, I don't mean you, Xiaohua, you have learned martial arts from Captain He for a lot of time, and you can't even beat the bandits." β
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua came back safely, and there was no missing arm or leg, Qiu Ju naturally laughed at him unceremoniously, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Sister Qiu Ju is wrong, there are hundreds of thieves in other people, I am just alone, how can I win against others? β
Qiu Ju said: "With your small body at that time, not to mention three heads and six arms, even nine heads and thirty-six arms, you can't beat it." β
Speaking of this, he first covered his mouth and smiled, and then said: "By the way, tell my sister what was going on at that time?" The Ouda gang leader sent a lot of people to look for you, but there was no news of you, Miss and Sister Qiutong thought that you couldn't come back, and they were sad for a long time, alas, if they could see you today, they would definitely be very happy. β
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said: "Actually, I don't have anything to say about it, that is, I met a thief who did something bad and kidnapped someone else's girl, I think I can be regarded as a martial artist, so I went to the thief's cottage with my second brother to save people, but the person was rescued, but he was discovered by the people of the Tianlong Sect and was caught by others." β
"Tianlong Sect?" Qiu Ju was puzzled and said, "What kind of sect is this?" β
Zhang Xiaohua said: "There are countless sects in the rivers and lakes, and Sister Qiu Ju has never heard of it, which is normal." β
"So, what then? The Heavenly Dragon Sect actually arrested you for five years? You are a little child, they are too inhumane. β
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sister Qiu Ju, I'm not that young." β
Qiu Ju smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Xiaohua continued: "Actually, not long after they arrested me, I found a chance to escape, but when I fled, it was not on land, it was on the vast sea, and I drifted to an island by myself, and I didn't return to land until recently." β
"Ah!" Qiu Ju's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked incredulously: "Xiaohua, you actually went to sea and spent five years alone on a desert island?"
"Yes, Sister Qiu Ju, actually, it's nothing, I was not used to it at first, but I got used to it after living, really. β
"Alas, poor boy. Qiu Ju burst out of mother's love for a moment, and felt very unhappy for Zhang Xiaohua's experience, and said: "Fortunately, you are finally back now, well, quite haode, you will stay in Huanxi Villa in the future, don't go anywhere, by the way, when will you go back to the villa? Why haven't I heard Qiu Xiang talk about it? I also met Tian Chongxi in the afternoon, and I didn't hear him talk about it? It can't be that you just came back, right?"
A series of questions fully show Qiu Ju's care.
"Qiu Xiang?" Zhang Xiaohua was also surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Who is Qiu Xiang?"
"Oh. Seeing this, Qiu Ju said with a smile: "You really just returned to the village, and you haven't seen Sister Qiu Xiang yet, well, it is estimated that Tian Chongxi wants to take you to see her tomorrow morning." β
Speaking of this, there was a trace of sadness on his face, and he said: " The matter of the ethereal faction, presumably Tian Chongxi has already told you, since Miss and Sister Qiu Tong followed the wife of the helper to pass on the incense teaching, our Huanxi Villa will let Qiu Xiang be in charge temporarily, alas, this is three years, but, Xiaohua, don't worry, although you have never seen Qiu Xiang, but after all, you are also an old man in Huanxi Villa, my sister and Qiu Xiang have a good relationship, tomorrow morning, my sister told her before, but don't wait for Tian Chongxi to go to tell her, she refused, and it will be too late for my sister to go again. β
Seeing Qiu Ju say this, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was warm for a while, and she saw the truth in the plain, she and Qiu Ju had only met a few times, but she remembered that she was the little girl of the original Huanxi Villa, so she took care of it, and the truth was rare.
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I'll talk about these things later, I want to ask, Sister Qiu Ju, do you know the whereabouts of my second brother Zhang Xiaohu?
Qiu Ju thought for a while, sighed and said: "The whereabouts of your second brother, I'll tell you the truth, Xiaohua, I really don't know, the Ethereal Sect was besieged by the three factions that day, I just heard the faint sound of fighting in the villa, and it is impossible for me to know the specific situation of facing the enemy, and besides, the disciples of our Ethereal Sect were received by the wife of the gang leader and brought back to the Incense Sect, I didn't see it, so naturally there was no news of Zhang Xiaohu." β
Zhang Xiaohua listened, sighed, and said, "What about the situation of Miss Ou and Sister Qiu Tong, and the current situation of our Huanxi Villa?"
Qiu Ju's face showed sadness again, and said: "Our Huanxi Villa and Ethereal Villa have always been one, and they are closely related. Dalin Temple and the three factions of the Zhengdao Alliance joined forces to destroy the door, half of the gang was killed on the spot, although a small half of the disciples Elder Hu escaped, the rest were mediocre martial arts, and those who were abolished martial arts were all taken back by the Chuan Xiang Sect, although our Huanxi Villa was protected by the Jing Yi Shi Taili of the Chuan Xiang Sect, the other two factions also had to give in, but Miss was going to be taken away by them, Sister Qiu Tong was reluctant to let Miss, and she also went, and I and the other sisters also wanted to follow, but Miss didn't allow it, so she stayed. β
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Sister Qiu Ju, do you know where the Incense Sect is?"
"This?" Qiu Ju shook her head and said: "I don't know this, there were many of them on the road that day, I said goodbye to Miss, and I didn't hear her talk about it, I guess Miss herself may not know, but their carriage is going south, maybe it's in the south." β
"How is the villa now, is it the same as before?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.
Qiu Ju still smiled bitterly: "Huanxi Villa has left the Ethereal Sect, where can it still be the way it used to be?" Although the three factions have an agreement not to interfere with Huanxi Villa, but the Zhengdao Alliance is next to Huanxi Villa, occupying the Ethereal Villa, and every move of our Villa is under the monitoring of the Righteous Path League, listening to our guards, in the past few years, the villa was surrounded by their disciples, and they were all watching, that is, this year, there has been nothing abnormal in our villa, and they have relaxed their vigilance, but when you come back today, you must have been interrogated at the gate of the villa, even if it is the New Year now, they have also left people to stop our villaγ β
"So, what about inside the villa?" Zhang Xiaohua asked again.
"There is nothing changed in the villa, some people saw that Huanxi Villa had no future, and they all ran away quietly, these people really have no conscience, how good the young lady was to them back then, they just threw down their conscience and ran, Xiaohua, you don't know, many of them have deeds of sale to stay in the villa, but under the intervention of the Righteous Path Alliance, they are all gone. β
Zhang Xiaohua smiled faintly and didn't speak.
Looking at Zhang Xiaohua, Qiu Ju smiled and said: "It's still your conscience is very good, you know that the villa is like this, and you come back, and you don't wronged Miss Qiu Tong and Sister Qiu Tong back then." β
"However, the medicine field in our villa has long been barren, and we are preparing to plant farmland, Xiaohua, you are from a farmer's family, you must be very proficient in this area, and when I talk to Qiu Xiang tomorrow, it is better to be Tian Chongxi's deputy." β
Zhang Xiaohua smiled slightly: "By the way, Sister Qiu Ju, where did Old Yu go?"
"Oh, Yu Lao, he naturally went to the incense sect with Miss, although he is the steward of the villa, but he also has to protect Miss's safety, Sister Qiu Tong can only serve Miss, if it is protection, he can only let Yu Lao come out. β
"Oh, that's right. Zhang Xiaohua touched her nose with her fingers.
"There are a lot of changes in the villa, but as long as you are the same as before, you can work well, there is absolutely no problem with your livelihood, Xiaohua, Miss and Qiu Tong are not here, if you have anything, even if you tell your sister, although your sister is not Qiu Xiang, she can also speak, and she will never let you suffer." β
"Hehe, then I'll go to Sister Qiuju first. Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "However, I came back this time, but I didn't go back to the villa, I haven't gone home to see my father and mother, and I ......."
Qiu Ju smiled: "Come to the villa before you go home, Xiaohua, the young lady really has a vision, it doesn't matter, I asked Tian Chongxi to give you a month off, go back and reunite with your father, it's not too late to meet the villa." β
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Qiu Ju, do you also let me say it well?"
Qiu Ju smiled: "I haven't seen you for many years, I am happy to see the old man in the villa, okay, you say, I won't interrupt." β
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Sister Qiu Ju, I don't plan to go back to the villa after I go home!"
"What?" Qiu Ju changed color a little, and then smiled bitterly: "Also, the villa is like this now, it's normal if you don't come back, it's okay, Xiaohua, just come back and see the old people in the villa when you have time." β
Zhang Xiaohua said helplessly: "Eldest sister, didn't you say that you won't interrupt?"
Qiu Ju really didn't interrupt at this time, and she didn't answer the words.
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I plan to go home to see my father, and then I will go to find Miss and Sister Qiutong." β
"Huh?" Qiu Ju couldn't help but interrupt again, and said in surprise: "You...... Are you really going to look for them?"
"Yes?" Zhang Xiaohua said: "I haven't seen them for so many years, and I don't know if they are still alive in the world." β
