Chapter 13 3: Promise Returns Home for the New Year

Chapter 13 Thirteen

Duan Wuji burrowed into the alley and hurried all the way, beating around corners and walking straight towards Beiguan.

Duan Wuji took out a few copper coins from Huabao, walked to a small restaurant, bought more than a dozen fire-roasted meat rolls, and then hurried away while eating.

Duan Wuji walked out of the city gate of Beiguan in one breath, and walked north for more than ten miles, seeing no one following him, he turned around and ran down to his hometown.

Duan Wuji performed the Land Soaring Technique, he was in a hurry all the way, just after he ran for about fifty miles, snowflakes flew in the sky.

The snowflakes fell bigger and bigger, and it was getting dark at this time. Duan Wuji braved the snow all over the sky and ran all the way against the howling northwest wind.Due to the unfamiliarity of the road, I didn't arrive at Duanjiaji until Dinggeng.

At this time, Jiaji was already pitch black, only a few scattered households were still lit with dim lights.

Duan Wuji carefully looked around to see if there was no one around, quietly pushed open the door, and closed it again casually.

Duan Wuji saw that the light was still on in the main room, so he casually pushed the door open.

Duan Wuji was dumbfounded when he saw his second grandfather kneeling on the ground, and his two cousins ​​were also kneeling behind his second grandfather.

The tea bowls and teapots on the ground were broken, and the third grandfather was sitting on the chair, moaning and sulking.

Duan Wuji saw the table and knelt behind the two uncles, and said cautiously: "Wuji pays homage to the third grandfather, the third grandfather, why punish the second grandfather and the two uncles?"

The old master raised his eyes and saw Duan Wuji kneeling behind the three of them.

The old man laughed when he saw it. "Second brother, since Wuji is back, you all get up. Wuji! You get up too."

The four stood up, and Duan Wuji asked: "Grandfather Third, why are you angry?"

Duan Yingchun laughed and said: "Wuji, isn't it because of you? Just now your third grandfather was really angry, but it scared me to death.

Now that I think about it, I regret it. I really shouldn't have left you behind. If something happened to you, it would be difficult for our family to explain it to your parents. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "I'm fine, right? Not even a single hair is missing."

The third grandfather smiled and said, "Wuji, why did they let you go? They didn't abuse you, did they?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Abusing me? They don't have the ability to do that, just rely on those four boys? Hmph, I wanted to knock them down on the spot.

Later, after thinking about it, I changed my mind. I planned to go to their lair for a while, and make a small fortune by the way.

No, because the road is unfamiliar, isn't it too late to come back. "

Duan Yingchun saw Duan Wuji's gown tucked around his waist at a glance.

"Wuji, doesn't the jacket around your waist belong to that boy Hua Bao? Why did he give it to you?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this. "Second Grandpa, your eyesight is really good, you can recognize it at a glance, isn't this kid's jacket? That kid is the most fucking useless thing, I peeled off his jacket and wrapped it with money."

"Then he let you strip?"

"Don't let him be peeled? Are we not going to be tough? I smashed him to death with a chair, and gouged out his eyes. If you let him say it, it doesn't matter."

"Ah? Wuji, why did you smash the three people past him to death? You wouldn't smash all four of them to death, would you?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's not four, but five, and there is a big black guy in the little white building, you said I didn't destroy them all, can I get their money?

Third Grandfather, I have caused trouble.Hurry up next year and go buy a calf with someone else.It'll be fine in a few years. "

"Well, Wuji, you're good, you should treat these boys like this, otherwise you will feel suffocated. We have a lot of other people in our family, so why don't we just buy a calf next spring and replace it with someone else?

Hey, Promise?How much money did you steal from them? "

Duan Wuji shook his head. "I was in a hurry at the time, and I didn't bother to count them. No, they are all here."

As he said that, Duan Wuji took off the gown around his waist and put it on the table.Opening the gown, the white silver was exposed.

Several people came up to watch carefully, and saw that there were large pieces of silver and small pieces, no less than a hundred or so taels.

"Wuji, now you are rich. You get more money than we paid for six cows."

Duan Wuji took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the second grandfather. "Second Grandpa, I have taken care of you at your house. With these few taels of silver, I can buy some tea from Grandpa Third and replace it with a new teapot. The remaining taels of silver can be used to subsidize the family."

"Hey, Wuji, you traded your life for money, and you gave our family cattle for such a long time. Why do our family want your money? How should our family be behaved if the news spreads?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Second Grandpa, don't refuse, this is my wish from Duan Wuji, if you refuse, I will feel bad."

The old master smiled and said, "My second child, I think you can put away the money. Why don't we return it to him when Wuji needs it in the future?"

Duan Wuji took out another 50 taels of silver and put it on the table. "Second Grandpa, when you buy calves next year, you can also buy a few for me, so that the cattle of our two families will be released together next year.

Second Grandpa, do you think this is okay? "

Duan Yingchun laughed and said: "Wuji, it doesn't cost more than a few taels of silver to buy a calf. What are you doing with so much money?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Second Grandpa, don't you buy calves and bigger ones? I, Duan Wuji, don't buy too many calves, ten calves are enough.

Otherwise, can it be used when next year's autumn plowing? "

The old master listened and nodded. "Well, Wuji, it's still your thoughtfulness, our family will pay 50 taels next year, and we will buy a calf in the first month of next year, let's put it together.

Second child, put away the money. "

When Duan Changchun saw that his father had spoken, he had no choice but to put away the money.

Duan Wuji stood up. "The third grandpa, the second grandpa, and the two uncles, take a rest and see you next year."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji wrapped up the rest of the money, and walked straight to his home with the money bag.

At this time, the snow fell more and more, and the earth was white.Duan Wuji walked straight to his house through the white snow.

At this time, it was already midnight.Duan Wuji knocked on the door and walked in.

When Liu Caihua saw her youngest son came back, she immediately shouted loudly: "Master, don't sleep, Wuji is back."

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing immediately sat up from the quilt.

"Wuji is back? Look, it's already midnight, hurry up and sleep on the kang. It's warm on the kang."

Duan Wuji hugged his father's head. "Dad, get up, I have something good to share with you."

"What's a good thing? Could it be that you found a happy wife in the town? Or did your third grandfather give you delicious food? It's almost Chinese New Year, and we don't have any New Year's goods at all? Daddy, I'm under the covers Worrying."

"Hey, what are you worrying about? When you get up, don't our family have all the New Year's goods?"

"There is such a good thing? Dad doesn't believe it?"

Duan Yanqing said nothing, but he still got dressed and stood up from the kang.

Duan Yanqing looked at the son in front of him and felt happy. "Wuji, you've grown a lot taller! This will grow into a big boy in no time. Boy, let's take a look at something good."

Duan Wuji opened the coat, and immediately revealed a pile of white money from inside.

Duan Yanqing's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Boy, where did you get so much money? Didn't you steal it from your third grandfather's family? If so, let's send it back to their family as soon as possible tomorrow. Our family will not do such ungrateful things."

Liucaihua was immediately unhappy when she heard that.

"Master, I know my son, don't you know what our son is like? When did our son steal?"

Duan Yanqing nodded after listening.

"Well, I know that, our son is not that kind of person. Hey, Wuji, tell Dad, where did the money come from? Let Dad understand."

So, Duan Wuji learned from his parents what happened today.

Duan Yanqing laughed out loud at the end. "Okay, good job, Wuji, your martial arts is finally worth it, okay, okay, tomorrow I will buy new year's goods, let's sell him forty or fifty catties of pork, two bags of white noodles, and our family will have a good time too Year."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Father, we have so much money, why don't we buy a pig of more than 200 catties, and buy four or five bags of flour. In addition, let's not buy less of other things. This year we will Have a prosperous year too.

If we can't finish eating this pork, why don't we drown it in salt? We usually leave it to eat bacon. "

Duan Yanqing laughed out loud. "Okay, Wuji, this year you are in charge, let's have a good year first."

After speaking, Duan Yanqing put away the money.

Duan Wuji took the gown from the table, lit it with a lamp, and immediately a raging fire ignited in the room.

When Liu Caihua saw it, she shouted loudly: "Damn, what are you doing? You prodigal boy, what a good gown, how can you burn it?"

Duan Yanqing gave his wife a blank look and said: "Master, what do you know? This is called destruction of evidence, and it will be a disaster to keep that gown.

Promise, you are so right, well, let's go to sleep.After all, you still have to practice martial arts tomorrow, and I still have to go to the market. "

Duan Wuji said to Duan Yanqing while getting on the kang: "Father, bring a few taels of silver for the market tomorrow, and mother, let's buy two new clothes for each of us this year."

Duan Yanqing nodded after listening. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. All right, go to bed quickly, it's getting late."

After speaking, Duan Yanqing went to the table and blew out the lights.Then he lay down and fell asleep, and after a while, he started to play loudly.
