Chapter 62 Check in

Of course, the supper was eaten in Mr. Liu's yard. Although the tableware in the yard was not complete enough, it could not be kept close to the Zhang family. I took everything over in a few steps.

Guo Sufei was busy in Mr. Liu's kitchen. Looking at this small and exquisite room, she was very envious. She was really a scholar. She was so particular about cooking. Unlike her own stove, which was built in the yard, and sheds to shelter the wind and rain. Now she thought about it, it was really not ordinary. When I looked back, I discussed it with the old man and asked his sons to work hard and make such a small house in his yard. It was not a very expensive thing anyway. The result of this idea was that all the open-air stoves in Guozhuang were converted into kitchens within half a year, which was also a trend brought by Mr. Liu.

Guozhuang has a smaller population than Baligou, and the food sold at the entrance of the village is smaller than Baligou. Therefore, even if Mr. Liu wants to reward everyone with his first meal, he is powerless. The meal at night is still simple. However, there are many people who eat. Mr. Liu's spacious main hall cannot be served. Fortunately, the weather is already hot, so everyone simply moves the tables and chairs outside. The farmers have no "no words" to eat. Everyone chats while eating. Butcher Liu also drinks wine from time to time. Mr. Liu, Zhang Cai and Liu Kai all try it out, but they can't resist the frequent lifting of Butcher Liu.

Cup, the few people were also drunk. Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at the lively people, and felt different. He had not participated in this happy scene for a long time. Maybe his daughter liked such an environment. Suddenly, it seemed that it touched his inner weakness. He couldn't help but think of his deceased wife who died early. Looking at Liu Qian's face that looked like her deceased wife, a kind smile appeared on her face. I hope that her daughter's choice was not wrong, and she was also pulled onto the boat by her daughter. I also hope that she could change her life and spend the rest of her life safely with them.

After dinner, the night wind was a little cold, and everyone went back to the house.

Liu Qian boiled water in the kitchen and made tea for everyone.

Mr. Liu savored the tea beautifully and sighed in his heart. This is the joy of life. He can drink this tea every day and become a native of Guozhuang for a long time.

Liu Kai also took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Xiaolong sitting, and asked with a smile: "Xiaolong, how is the injury on his body?"

Zhang Xiaolong quickly said, "Thank you for your concern, my injury has been cured long ago, and there is no problem in working in the fields now."

Butcher Liu also spoke: "Xiaolong, what happened on the day you married Qianqian? You didn't say it clearly at that time. Now you will tell me and let me listen to your adventures."

Zhang Xiaolong frowned a little, but he still told about his experience that day, but according to Lu Yueming's intention, he did not say his name or the name of Piaomiao Sect, and of course he did not mention the token of Xue Qing.

This process may be simple, but the danger of the day can be heard.

Butcher Liu couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

Seeing the scene a little deserted, Mr. Liu interrupted, "I heard that the bandits in Xicui Mountain have dispersed. Don't worry, Xiaolong, I guess I won't come to cause trouble for you."

Zhang Xiaolong replied: "Yes, at the beginning, I was busy with my grandmother's funeral, so I threw this matter behind my head. Later, when I was free, I felt scared. I was afraid that the bandits would come to me with the clues of marriage. I heard that they had parted ways, so I felt relieved."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "The bandits in Xicui Mountain are just mobs. Without the leader, they will fall down and scatter. There will be no climate. No one will think about avenging the leader. Moreover, you are just ordinary farmers, and they have no intention to come to find them."

Liu Kai said: "It may not be necessary. The bandits in Xicui Mountain have been around for a long time. In the past ten years, countless groups of people have changed. This time, they have dispersed and cannot hold back for a long time, so someone raised the flag again."

Butcher Liu shouted, "Just let it go, can you even find us to avenge the thief who took office?"

Mr. Liu looked at Zhang Xiaolong. He knew that the Zhang family had the token of the Piaomiao Sect. This time the escape was probably related to the token. People in the world helped the weak, and they also saw injustice. They also pulled their swords to help them, but they were more confident. No one would kill the leader of Xicuishan for irrelevant people and offend the forces behind Xicuishan for no reason. However, Zhang Xiaolong did not talk about this, probably for a reason, and Mr. Liu would not reveal it. He just said: "There is not a possibility to find us. If you want to take revenge, you will also find someone who kills people, but they may not be sure that they will ask us for questions."

Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said, "These are all our guesses. We can't just run away for these reasons. Even if we move, it's hard to guarantee that we won't be found. It's better to keep changing and live our own life with peace of mind."

Liu Kai applauded and said, "Xiaolong's words are good and insightful. Haha, by the way, let me ask you, how did you think of the one you made in Baligou last time, what I originally had for the banished immortal in heaven? No matter how I think about it, I think it was not something you could do?"

Zhang Xiaolong blushed, but no one could see it under the oil lamp. He said embarrassedly: "Well, I don't know this myself. I have never written poetry. I was forced to be anxious that day. I appeared in my mind for no reason. Maybe it was given by God."

Seeing Zhang Xiaolong's appearance, Liu Kai didn't ask. At this time, Zhang Xiaohu, who was sitting next to Zhang Xiaolong, suddenly spoke. He asked, "Mr. Liu, do you know where Pingyang City is?"

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Of course I know this. Pingyang City is a big city close to Lu Town, about 600 miles northeast of Lu Town. Why did you suddenly mention Pingyang City?"

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Cai who was sitting on the chair and sobering up while drinking tea.

He said something that surprised everyone.

"I want to go to Pingyang City."

Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Cai, who was squinting his eyes, also opened his eyes.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Cai again and then said, "I want to go to Pingyang City to see it. I have grown so big and have only been to Lu Town at the farthest. Even Pingyang City has a name that has been heard."

Zhang Cai seemed relieved when he heard this, but Mr. Liu asked again: "Do you go and have a look? After a while, Liu Kai probably has something to go out, so it's okay for you to go and have a look together."

Zhang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No, I think it's not just to go and see, I want to get out of this village, I want to change my current life."

"Huh~, Xiaohu is going to walk out of the village?" Guo Sufei and Liu Qian finished the kitchen affairs and walked in one after another. Guo Sufei happened to hear Zhang Xiaohu's words and couldn't help feeling strange.

When Zhang Xiaohu saw that it was his mother entering the house, he quickly got up and let her sit down.

Guo Sufei sat on the chair Zhang Xiaohu had just made, looked at Zhang Xiaohu, and asked strangely: "Xiaohu, why did you suddenly think of going out?"

Facing the surprised gaze of everyone, Zhang Xiaohu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Dad, mom, I have thought a lot recently. If you live like you, I can only live with the loess and the sky for the rest of my life, and live from home to the fields all day long, and then from the fields to home. Maybe in a few years, my mother will find me a wife who is also busy in the fields. We will serve this land together, and then have children, and teach them how to farm. When I get old, I will be buried in the land behind the village like my grandmother. Wouldn't my life be very boring? Such a monotonous and boring life is not what I want. What I want is colorful and interesting, and a life that can see many people and many things. Only in this way, when I get old, I will not regret it."

Everyone was silent, and only a light flashed in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes sitting in the corner.

Mr. Liu coughed, looked at Zhang Cai, and said, "I roughly understand the thoughts of my nephew. When I was young, I also had this kind of dream. I also tried to realize it. However, when I went out, I realized that everything in the world was not something I could imagine. I encountered many setbacks. I found that some lives were not the life I was willing to pursue, so I returned to Baligou. However, I did not get anything. Qianqian and her mother were also back with me."

Liu Kai also said: "What Dad said is right, but if he didn't go out and see, how can he know what the outside world looks like? How can he know whether it is suitable for him? Didn't his son have the same idea as Xiaohu in the past few years? I think Xiaohu should really go out for a walk and see. When he sees the cruelty of the outside world, he might come back."

Butcher Liu shouted: "What's the best thing about Pingyang City? Isn't it just a few times the size of Lu Town? It's hard to find a place to go to the toilet. Why do you go there? I don't recommend Xiaohu to go."

When Liu Qian heard this, of course she knew why Zhang Xiaohu was going to Pingyang City. However, she is now the wife of the Zhang family, so she looked at Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei first. Seeing that both of them were frowning and looked unwilling, she thought for a while and then said: "Pingyang City is very big and far away from us. However, there are many people like this. Xiaohu went there and would definitely meet a girl whom she was close to and brought back to see her. It was better than the remote area here. It took a few steps to go to the neighboring village. The girls in the surrounding villages could count them with their eyes closed. It was very difficult to pick them up."

When Zhang Xiaohu saw Liu Qian expressing his thoughts, he smiled and did not explain.

At this time, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei's brows were relaxed. It turned out that the son was thinking about it. Thinking about how far Pingyang City is, Zhang Xiaohu had never traveled far away. Although he is not young, it is always inappropriate to go so far at once. However, thinking about it, it was also true that he had been looking for a wife for Zhang Xiaolong for so long, but there was no suitable one. If it weren't for Liu Qian, it would be difficult to solve. Zhang Xiaohu saw that he was getting married, which was a big problem at home. If Zhang Xiaohu went out and could bring a wife back, wouldn't it be a great thing?

Thinking of this, Zhang Cai was about to agree when he heard another voice sound.
