As the head of the village, Wang Dafu's house was really the best. It was the only two-story building built with bluestone in the village. The flat slate covered the path. If she didn't hear the sound of the river from time to time, Su Li would think that she was in the Qinghe Town and didn't go out at all.
"Woman, come out quickly. A distinguished guest is coming!"
Wang Dafu shouted with a red face. Immediately there came the sound of going downstairs upstairs. A middle-aged woman with heavy makeup and a plump figure came out of the building. When she saw Su Li, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
She had long heard that a distinguished guest came to the village, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a silly girl. It was really a waste of effort to dress up.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman quickened her pace and came over. She said enthusiastically, "Please come in! No wonder I heard the magpies singing early in the morning. It turns out that this miss is coming! "
Su Li pursed her lips and didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Xiaowu beside her and said, "Since it's your home, you can make the decision. I'm a little tired. If you have any problem, you can find No.1 and others to solve it."
Xiaowu looked around and was worried. When he heard Su Li's words, he suddenly became happy and deeply grateful. He bowed hard and said, "Thank you, Lady!"
Madam Wang obviously didn't recognize Xiaowu and was confused. Finally, she only caught the words "Su Li is tired". She immediately stepped aside and said attentively, "Since Miss is tired, why don't you go upstairs and have a rest? The guest room has been prepared! "
Su Li glanced at Fang Yuan and others and then walked into the building with Mammy Li.
As soon as Su Li left, Madam Wang felt much less pressure and looked natural. When she was about to continue to make friends with Fang Yuan and others, Wang Dafu quietly pulled her sleeves behind her. She couldn't help but turn back angrily and whispered, "You have been pulling me since the door opened. The guest is here!"
Wang Dafu didn't have time to care about his wife's attitude. He hurriedly asked, "Where is my father?"
"That old man? Of course, he went back! "
Madam Wang rolled her eyes and did not see Wang Dafu's dramatic change of expression. She turned around and saw Xiaowu, who had walked to her with a serious face. She immediately praised him, "This childe is really handsome. At first glance, I know he is well-educated. My Zhuo can't compare with him!"
Xiaowu sneered and said, "Auntie said three years ago that I was a bastard who was born by a mother but raised by no father. How could you forget it so quickly?"
Mrs. Wang's smile froze and she stared at Xiaowu blankly. Did she hear it wrong? This young man actually called her aunt, and it seemed like …
"He is Xiaowu."
Wang Dafu covered his face and sighed. He had wanted to say it a long time ago, but his wife kept saying it, so he couldn't.
"Little Wu?!"
Madam Wang screamed, and the rouge on her face fell like lime.
Then, she shifted her gaze to the side. Is that … Datian?
Had the two little bastards she had chased out grown up?
Return to settle scores with her?!
Thinking of this, Madam Wang's face suddenly turned pale and she quibbled, "Xiaowu, Datian! Three years ago, you two wanted to leave on your own. Anyway, we raised you up. Is this how you repay kindness with ingratitude? "
"It was my grandfather who raised me, not you!" Xiaowu's eyes were very cold. He said, "Auntie, I don't want to care about the past. If you didn't force me that year, I wouldn't have met Lord Su. Now I come back just to see if my grandfather is well. "
Xiaowu looked around and said, "Which room is he in?"
Madam Wang's face was very ugly and she didn't speak for a long time.
Xiaowu saw Madam Wang's reaction and his expression suddenly changed slightly. He looked at Wang Dafu and said gloomily, "Uncle, you said grandpa is fine. Is it false?"
"Of course not." Wang Dafu quickly waved his hand. Looking at the group of young men and women with cold faces behind Xiaowu, he immediately said obediently, "But your grandfather doesn't live here …"
Before entering the Dawang Village, Fang Yuan and others had already taken the Appearance Disguising Elixir and took off their masks. For a group of ordinary people who didn't know Xuangong, the lowest level of Appearance Disguising Elixir could cover up their appearance. The effect of this Appearance Disguising Elixir could last for a long time.
"Doesn't live here?"
Xiaowu heard the words and showed an unbelievable expression on his face. He said, "Uncle, you are my grandfather's only biological son. My grandfather is old and alone. If he doesn't live here, where else can he live? "
Wang Dafu looked ashamed and couldn't say it.
Xiaowu's eyes were full of anger. He looked at Madam Wang and said, "Uncle, you drove me and Datian away. Now even your biological father is driven away. Do you have any humanity?"
"I didn't drive him away!" Wang Dafu quickly waved his hand and looked at Madam Wang with a cowardly expression.
Seeing that he was so useless, Madam Wang was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at her husband and scolded, "Wang Dafu, you are useless! If you do something wrong, you blame your wife. Can you blame me for your father's departure? It was obviously that old thing who disliked me and left on his own accord! It has nothing to do with me … "
"Enough!"
Xiaowu's roar shook the entire two-story building. Madam Wang was so scared that her body trembled. She immediately kept silent and didn't dare to say anything.
"Wang Dafu, take me to see my grandfather?"
Xiaowu looked gloomy and didn't even bother to call him "uncle". Wang Dafu shrank his neck and said, "He lives in the old house. If you still remember …"
"I remember!"
Xiaowu interrupted Wang Dafu's words and immediately turned around and bowed to Fang Yuan. He said, "Lords, I have something urgent to do. Excuse me."
With Fang Yuan's permission, Xiaowu immediately ran out of the yard. Fang Yuan turned around and said to Fang Mu, "Go with him. Help him if you can."
Fang Mu immediately nodded and went out to follow Xiaowu. Suddenly, there were only Fang Yuan, Wang Dafu and Wang Dafu in the yard. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Yin Xuetong didn't look at Wang Dafu and Fang Yuan. She changed her voice and said, "It's still early. Why don't we go out together?"
She didn't forget Su Li's entrustment before entering the Dawang Village. At this moment, she proposed it and immediately got the consent of Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning. They all left the yard in the blink of an eye.
Madam Wang stood in the same place for a long time. Suddenly, she tore Wang Dafu's clothes like crazy and said, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Didn't you say that the two bastards died outside and wouldn't come back? How come they not only came back but also got lucky and hooked up with the rich and powerful! Why is it him? Not our son! "
"Don't hit me …"
Wang Dafu's clothes were torn. He was in a mess and several wounds were scratched by Madam Wang's sharp and long nails. "The miss upstairs is still there. Don't hit me!"
Madam Wang's movement was stiff. She woke up and quickly pulled Wang Dafu's ear into the house.
Su Li sat by the window upstairs and saw everything from beginning to end. But her expression never changed.
"Miss, are we really going to live here?"
Mammy Li stood behind Su Li and said angrily, "We said that we would pay. Isn't it convenient for Madam Wang?"
"Let's talk about it later. Mammy Li, don't worry."
Su Li took the original sword book and lowered her head and said lightly.
Mammy Li responded. She thought of all kinds of things that Su Li had experienced since she woke up last spring. She gradually calmed down and turned to do other things.
…
Xiaowu and Datian came to the old house according to their memory. Looking at the thatched hut that was about to collapse, their eyes turned red instantly and they rushed in at the same time.
Fang Mu looked at the half-tilted thatched hut and sighed. He bent down and walked in.
Under the effect of Su Li's elixir, he was much taller than before.
Although it was daytime, the thatched hut's window was small and the light was very dim. Xiaowu bent down and passed through a straw door. He immediately saw the weak old man lying on the bed. It was the old village head that he missed for a long time.
"Grandpa!"
Xiaowu knelt in front of the straw couch and burst into tears. He said, "Grandpa, I am back! I am Xiaowu. Datian and I have come back to see you! "
The old man lying on the bed opened his eyes in a daze, revealing a pair of turbid eyes. When he heard the voice, a pair of old hands as rough as bark immediately stretched out. After grabbing Xiaowu's hand, he immediately smiled and showed his few teeth.
"It's Xiaowu. It's good that you are back. It's good that you are back …"
Xiaowu grasped the old man's hand tightly. He looked at the clothes that his grandfather wore like a beggar. He didn't know how long he hadn't taken a bath. His whole body exuded an unpleasant smell. He was so weak that he couldn't speak loudly. It was obvious that he was too hungry and had no strength.
Xiaowu's eyes emitted a cold light. Three years ago, he was a healthy old man who was hale and hearty and dressed neatly. It was absolutely abnormal that he became like this today.
Fang Mu glanced at Xiaowu and his two grandsons at the door and did not go in. He turned and walked into another room of the thatched hut. It should be the kitchen according to the geographical location.
There was a pot in the kitchen, which had been used recently. Fang Mu opened it and saw the turbid soup floating in it. He immediately took the spoon and scooped it up to have a look.
It was all wild vegetables.
"He doesn't even have food to eat. No wonder the old man is so weak."
Fang Mu murmured. Although he was not a doctor, he had experienced the old man's weak state. He could see it at a glance. After thinking for a moment, he untied the waterskin from his waist and took out an elixir. He turned and walked into the room.
"Grandpa, tell me, did that woman, Hu Li, do you think she did it? I'm going to find her now! "As soon as he entered the room, Fang Mu heard Xiaowu's words full of killing intent.
"No … Don't … Don't make trouble." The old man gasped and said intermittently. He was afraid that Xiaowu would do stupid things. He used all his strength to hold Xiaowu's hand and didn't let him go.
But he was so anxious that he rolled his eyes and fainted completely.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Xiaowu panicked immediately. He kept shaking his grandpa's body with tears flowing. "Grandpa, don't scare me!"
Fang Mu couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled Xiaowu away and shouted in a deep voice, "If you don't want to see your grandpa starve to death, get out of my way!"
Xiaowu stood up without saying anything and knelt down in front of Fang Mu. He said, "Your Honor, please save my grandpa's life. I'm willing to do anything!"
Fang Mu sat on the bedside and fed the old man the elixir. He tapped several acupoints on the old man's chest with his fingers to help open them. He said,
"Don't worry. Your grandpa is fine. He just fainted because of hunger. I fed him a pill with a mild medicinal effect. It's enough to help him recover from his weakened state. If you have the time to kneel, why don't you go get some food from the carriage? This pill alone isn't enough to make him full. "
Xiaowu heard Fang Mu's words and immediately smiled. He wiped his tears and said, "Thank you, Your Honor. I'm going now!"
Datian knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. He didn't know how to express his gratitude. He could only tell Fang Mu with actions.
