Start with ten times the talent of Zhang Sanfeng

Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Feng were chasing after each other and competing with each other, so naturally they moved extremely fast.

Just before noon, the two had already arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.

On a hill, the two stood still, resting for a while to sweat.

Looking up and seeing the smoke rising from the familiar small village, Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Feng were deeply moved, but kept silent.

"Brother Qiao, when was the last time you came back?" Meng Xiuyuan suddenly broke the silence and asked Qiao Feng.

"Well, it should be last year's Double Ninth Festival, and I happened to be back in Luoyang for some errands, so I stopped by to see my parents.

Now that I think about it, it has indeed been a long time. "

Qiao Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said a little ashamedly.

Since he joined the Beggar Gang, he has been busy running around all over the world.Even though the head of the beggar gang is in Luoyang, half a day away from home, he doesn't come back often.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said to Qiao Feng:
"Then you are much better than me. After I leave, I have not heard from you for seven years."

Hearing the sound, Qiao Feng didn't know what Meng Xiuyuan meant, so he raised his head to see Meng Xiuyuan's expression.But he saw that he had already left the place and was walking towards the village.

"Let's hurry up. I saw smoke rising from the uncle's and aunt's house. They should be cooking."

Meng Xiuyuan's voice floated from the front.

Hearing the sound, Qiao Feng subconsciously gathered energy in his eyes, trying to look deep into the village.Sure enough, I saw white smoke rising from the top of my house.

It's just that the distance is far away, and he can see it hazy and uncertain.

Seeing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help sighing in his heart, this Brother Meng was astonishing in every way, even his eye skills were extraordinary.

But seeing Meng Xiuyuan walking away, he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly chased after him.

……

"Father, mother, we are back!"

Before entering the door, Qiao Feng greeted the house through the courtyard wall.

"Feng'er, it's Feng'er. Why are you back?!"

Immediately, two familiar and cordial greetings sounded in the courtyard, and the voices were full of surprises.

Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Feng walked very fast. When they entered the gate of the courtyard, they saw Mrs. Qiao squatting on the floor washing vegetables, and Qiao Sanhuai bending over to chop wood, and they hadn't had time to put down their work.

The second elder heard the sound of the courtyard door, looked up and saw that Meng Xiuyuan was following behind Qiao Feng, his body trembled for a moment, he dropped his things and ran over.

"Brother Meng?! You...you're back too?

Where have you been all these years, why is there no news at all..."

Aunt Qiao tugged on Meng Xiuyuan's sleeves, as if she was afraid that he would lose him again, she held her tightly in her arms, tears were already falling after a few words.

Seeing his wife was so excited, Qiao Sanhuai hurriedly stopped her and said:

"Old woman, what are you doing, isn't it a good thing for Brother Meng to come back, don't cry.

I've said it long ago, Brother Meng looks like a smart and blessed person, so how could something happen.

That is to say, you women are ignorant and just think about it all day long. "

Although Uncle Qiao was trying to persuade Mrs. Qiao, but as he spoke, his nose felt sore, his eyes blushed, and he hurriedly turned his head to avoid Qiao Feng and Meng Xiuyuan's seeing.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm back."

Meng Xiuyuan looked at the faces of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife who were much older with tears running down their cheeks, he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for being heartless and lacking a lot of consideration.

If he had written a few letters before going to the Western Regions and asked someone to send them back every year, how could the old couple have been so worried about him for seven years.

Standing on that hill just now, the reason why he asked Qiao Feng those words was because he was emotionally affected by the situation. He slightly guessed the situation at this time, and felt a little timid because of his closeness to his hometown.

Now that I really saw this scene, I just feel extremely guilty, which is beyond words.

"Father, mother, let's go into the house first."

Seeing this, Qiao Feng was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward to support Qiao Sanhuai and his wife and said softly.

To be honest, the scene in front of him really surprised him as a son.

Since he joined the Beggar Gang at the age of 16 and rarely returned home, Qiao Feng only knew that Meng Xiuyuan had helped take care of the family for several years, but he didn't know that his parents had such a deep relationship with this brother Meng.

Thinking back now, it's no wonder that every time he went home these years, his parents would ask him to find a way to inquire about Meng Xiuyuan's news from the Jianghu, saying that he wanted to be sure whether he was dead or alive.

Although Qiao Feng gave instructions to the disciples of the Beggar Gang every time, he didn't take it as a big deal, it was just that the two elders were kind-hearted.

Seeing his father and mother crying so hard at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart.

"Yes, yes, go to the house first.

Brother Meng and Feng'er came back from a long journey, let them rest for a while. "

Qiao Sanhuai hurriedly wiped away her tears secretly, nodded and said loudly.

……

In this not-so-spacious farmhouse, Meng Xiuyuan took out the presents he had bought in advance one by one from his bundle, but Qiao Sanhuai and his wife only glanced at them briefly, and then turned their attention back to him.

"Brother Meng is getting more and more handsome, but unfortunately he has lost some weight and is not as strong as when he was a child..."

"Hey, little brother Meng has always had a big appetite. When he is away from home, eating and sleeping in the open, he often can't eat enough."

The old couple looked Meng Xiuyuan up and down for a long time, and looked at each other, both of them looked worried, and asked Meng Xiuyuan tentatively.

Meng Xiuyuan was amused when he heard the sound, thinking about the spiritual fish and fruit he had eaten in the Green Valley these years, he couldn't help explaining:

"Uncle and aunt, I have lived a good life these past few years, and I have never been hungry.

The delicacies I ate were delicious, not to mention your elder brother, even Brother Qiao, the leader of the gang, would not have the chance to eat them.

If it is not inconvenient to carry, there are actually many good things, and I would like to bring them back for you to try. "

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife heard that Meng Xiuyuan was blowing so loudly, but they couldn't believe it any more. They shook their heads, looked at each other, and stood up together in a tacit understanding:
"Brother Meng, Feng'er, take a good rest, the two of us will go to the field to pull some vegetables, and then go to the entrance of the village to fetch two jugs of wine and come back.

You don't need to worry about the rice burning in the pot, it will be fine when the firewood is extinguished. "

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife knew that Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Feng didn't know how to cook, so they asked them patiently.

Meng Xiuyuan and the two heard this, they didn't want the old couple to run errands, so they both said that they would go by themselves.But Qiao Sanhuai and his wife had a very tough attitude and insisted on going by themselves, leaving Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Feng to rest in the room.

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan and the two of them could see that Qiao Sanhuai and his wife had something on their minds and they were unwilling to tell it, so it was not easy to force them to ask, so they nodded and watched the two elders go out.

After a while, Mrs. Qiao came back with a few vegetables, and greeted as soon as she entered the courtyard:
"Feng'er, come out and help me get some water from the well. I need to wash the vegetables I picked."

Qiao Feng immediately got up and left the house when he heard the words, Meng Xiuyuan also wanted to go out to help, but was persuaded by Aunt Qiao to come back, so he had to sit at the table alone in a daze.

No, after a while, there was a rustling conversation outside the courtyard.

"Feng'er, when you come back this time, do you still stay overnight?" Aunt Qiao lowered her voice and asked Qiao Feng in a low voice.

"Yes, mother, what's the matter?" Although Qiao Feng was a little strange seeing this, he subconsciously imitated Aunt Qiao and also lowered his voice.

"Well, your father and I just discussed something. Since you are in a hurry to leave, let me tell you now..."

Aunt Qiao seemed to hesitate a little while speaking, but after a while, she continued to ask:

"Feng'er, did Brother Meng tell you the truth on the way back, did he have a hard time outside all these years?

Is it because I can't live in the rivers and lakes, so I came back? "

Qiao Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, and after a while he replied in a low voice:
"No, mother, why do you think so?"

Aunt Qiao said in a low voice to Qiao Feng:

"Although your father and I don't know each other, we are people who have experienced it, so we can see it naturally.

Brother Meng has been outside all these years, so he must have failed to make a name for himself and was desperate.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have let you search for him for so many years, but you still haven't found him. "

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng hurriedly explained to Aunt Qiao:

"Mother, you misunderstood. Although Brother Meng is indeed not well-known in the world, he is quite capable.

His martial arts skills are probably still higher than mine.

And didn't you also see that he brought you so many gifts back. "

Aunt Qiao didn't believe it at all, she said to Qiao Feng:
"Feng'er, you also helped Brother Meng to lie to your mother.

How could he be better than you after only practicing martial arts for a few years.

And most of those things were bought with your help. "

Qiao Feng just wanted to explain, but Aunt Qiao said very firmly:

"We can all see clearly, where there are fakes.

The green robe that Brother Meng is wearing and the pair of leather boots on his feet were all bought by us back then.

After so many years, it has not been changed.

Tell me, if Brother Meng is living a good life, how come he doesn't even have a second set of clothes that he can afford. "

During the speech, Aunt Qiao's voice became more and more lamented, and then said:
"And the sword in Meng Xiaoge's hand, it was also your father and I who were deceived by that blacksmith Liu in the town back then, and spent a lot of money on him.

We only found out in the past two years that Blacksmith Liu was simply bragging about how he knew how to use long sword weapons.

A passing martial artist bought a long knife from him, and it broke within two days. Dang even came back to ask him to settle the score.

Blacksmith Liu's shop was smashed, and he was beaten until he could not get out of bed for half a year. Just because of this, he dared not report to the authorities because of his guilty conscience.

Tell me, if Brother Meng is really capable, how could seven years have passed and he is still holding such a broken sword. "

Hearing what his mother said, Qiao Feng was dumbfounded for a moment.

He never thought that Meng Xiuyuan's behavior was so different.

Seeing that her son didn't speak, Aunt Qiao became more and more sure of what she was thinking, took a breath, and after deliberating for a while, she said to Qiao Feng:

"Feng'er, there are some things that your father can't tell you because he is the head of the family, only mother can tell you.

I hope you listened and don't blame my mother. "

"Mom, why would I blame you?" Qiao Feng hurriedly replied.

"Well, that's good." Aunt Qiao's voice hesitated, and she seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but she finally made up her mind and said:
"I discussed it with your father, since Brother Meng came back alive, we can't leave him alone.

We are old and have no skills. We have saved some property over the years, and most of it is the property you brought back to honor us.

Originally, these should be reserved for you to marry a wife and have children.

But now, even if we old couple feel sorry for you and want to share some of it, we can start a family for Brother Meng..."

Qiao Feng heard Mrs. Qiao's words, and knew that she had misunderstood her deeply, but seeing her so determined and serious appearance, he couldn't explain it for a while, so he could only smile and say:

"Mom, what are you talking about? When did I, Qiao Feng, care about those extraneous things..."

Aunt Qiao heard the words, before her son finished speaking, she interrupted first:

"Feng'er, listen to your mother.

Mother knows, you have the ability, don't care about these.

Even the masters in Shaolin Temple often praise you as a great hero and hero.

But this matter is indeed that parents are sorry for you, so you still have to make it clear.

The things in this house, regardless of whether they are more or less, good or bad, should all be left to you.

But Brother Meng has no father or mother since he was a child, and he is not as lucky as you, he was able to learn martial arts from the eminent monks of Shaolin Temple.

If the two of us don't care about him anymore, no one will care about him that day.

So you should be more tolerant, and if you have a chance in the future, try to help him..."

……

Meng Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the room, naturally heard the words of Qiao Feng and Mrs. Qiao.

At first, when he heard Mrs. Qiao talking about his clothes, leather boots and long sword, he felt a little funny, secretly thinking that he purposely kept this outfit as a souvenir, but it made the old couple misunderstand.

But at the end, the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he took a deep breath.

The simple and sincere concern of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife exceeded expectations.

Compared with his indifference to his couple these years, Meng Xiuyuan felt more and more guilty.

Thinking about it carefully, maybe he was reincarnated, so he naturally had the mentality of "Purple Sky Sword" Meng Shaoxia, and his eyes were only on the magical secrets and top masters in this world of Tianlong.

During the ordinary time living in this small village, he just regarded it as a hidden dragon in the abyss.

Therefore, although they are still grateful to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife who have a deep kindness, they are far less profound than when they faced their master Zhang Sanfeng in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but sit where he was, with mixed feelings in his chest.

……

At noon, the table in Qiao Sanhuai and his wife's house had already been set up with food and wine.

Everyone went to the table one after another, pushing cups and changing glasses, their faces were full of joy, only Meng Xiuyuan's expression remained a little dark, as if he had something on his mind.

Seeing this, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife originally wanted to ask, but they were afraid of poking Meng Xiuyuan's sore spot, so they had to persuade him to eat more vegetables and drink more.

Meng Xiuyuan ate three pancakes, two dishes, and drank a large bowl of rice wine, then suddenly raised his head and said to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife:

"Uncle, aunt, I have been wrong all these years. I completely forgot to send back the news, which made you two elders worry."

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife shook their heads quickly when they heard the words, saying that seeing Meng Xiuyuan and returning safely was better than anything else.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, waved his hands, and said again with a serious face:
"I've been away all these years, and I've accomplished my martial arts. When I come back today, I must repay the kindness your elders have shown me.

You only think of me as Brother Qiao, and you can assign me as you please, and don't be offended. "

As he said that, Meng Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to grab it, and a small bundle on the cabinet three feet away immediately flew towards him in the air.

Untie the bundle and pour it out, it's all silver.

"Uncle, aunt. I still have some things to do, but now it seems that those are not important.

Tomorrow morning, I will take you away.

Let's go to Jiangnan, find a place with pleasant scenery and quiet environment, and live well.

I must let you two elders enjoy the rest of the world and live a long life. "
