Chapter 77, Good luck (1 more)

Unlike Zhu Erlang's non-stop wiping his face, Xun Muyang's waist was straight, and he was unmoved by the wind and rain.

Steadily driving the carriage, pedaling forward.

The carriage passed the small bridge, the village, the fields, the woods, and arrived at Zhujia Village.

Xun Muyang sent the person directly to the door of Zhu's house.

The father and daughter got out of the carriage.

Xun Muyang looked at Zhu Xiao in silence.

"Uncle Ayang, we will still go into the mountain tomorrow morning!" Zhu Xiao said softly.

Even if it rains, you have to go into the mountains.

But I will handle it properly so that I don't let myself get wet.

"En!" Xun Muyang responded.

Drive the carriage away.

When the father and daughter came back, the family did not leave lunch for them. Zhu Erlang went back to the house, but Mrs. Zhao was not there.

Standing at the door, he was stunned for a while.

He exhaled slightly, but didn't say anything.

Zhu Xiao took Zhu Zhaodi to cook in the kitchen, and now that Lu Shi didn't dare to lock up the food, Zhu Xiao couldn't possibly squander it, scooped some flour, cut some bacon, and planned to make noodle soup to make do with it.

Cowpeas, potatoes, add some pumpkin, more dishes but less noodles, the father and daughter eat well, Zhu Erlang is sharpening his big knife under the eaves.

He has been reluctant to use this big knife.

But now Zhu Fugui doesn't want him to hunt with him, so he has to go into the mountains by himself. He plans to hold a knife, and when encountering ferocious animals, he has a good weapon, so he can protect himself to some extent.

As for where Mrs. Zhao went, Zhu Erlang didn't go out to look for it.

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Zhu came in one after the other in coir raincoats.

Seeing Zhu Erlang, old man Zhu glanced at him, and Zhu Erlang called out, "Father!"

"En!" Old man Zhu replied indifferently, glanced at Mrs. Lu, and went into the house to change into a coir raincoat.

"Erlang, your third uncle is going to die soon. Go over and see if there is anything that needs help!" Lu Shi said, and then said after a pause, "Wenniang is already helping there. Someone came from the house and told Wenniang to take the three children back home on the fifth day of the fifth day!"

Mrs. Lu wanted to ask something else, but Zhu Erlang was sharpening his sword, so guilty that he dared not ask anything.

"En!" Zhu Erlang responded.

The third uncle is already 99 years old, and he will be a hundred years old. He is the oldest old man in Zhujia Village, and he is also the elder with the highest seniority. Generally, no one dares to object to what he says.

It's just that when he got old and confused, his son and daughter-in-law were gone, but his grandchildren treated him very well.

Zhu Erlang remembered that when he was a child, he would go to the third uncle's house, and the third uncle would always give him some fruit to eat, but later he became confused, but he couldn't even remember who he was.

"I'll be there soon!" Zhu Erlang added.

Lu Shi nodded in satisfaction, "Take the three children and let them kowtow to the third uncle!"

Not only to kowtow, but also to let the villagers see that sister Zhu Xiaosan is still alive.

Zhu Erlang didn't ask about Lu's thoughts, and didn't care too much.

If he wants to be a good father, he will do it well.

Therefore, whatever Lu Shi thinks or plans, as long as the three children are not hurt, he will not care too much.

It's still raining.

Zhu Erlang put the knife away, went to find coir raincoats and straw hats, and called Zhu Zhaodi, Zhu Xiao, and Zhu Huaer, "You guys get dressed, and come with me to kowtow to the third uncle!"

"..."

The three sisters did not speak, but nodded and lived in the house with Zhu Erlang.

The rain was getting heavier, Zhu Erlang asked the three to walk in front, and he walked behind.

"Go slowly, your shoes will get wet when they are wet, and you will come back after kowtowing!"

After Zhu Erlang finished speaking, he waited for the responses from the three daughters.

It's just that the three of them concentrated on walking, and no one answered him.

Zhu Erlang couldn't help feeling a little lost and helpless.

He tried hard to cultivate feelings with his three daughters, but it seemed that the results were not great.

"What about you?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"Ah? Who?" Zhu Erlang asked quickly.

"you!"

Zhu Xiao looked back at Zhu Erlang.

"I, I want to help over there!"

"What about dinner?" Zhu Xiao asked again.

"Maybe I won't come back to eat at night. You guys will eat at home. Cook what you want, cook less, and don't leave any leftovers!" Zhu Erlang ordered.

He was also afraid that Mrs. Lu would be scolded at home.

He's not afraid, it's just ugly.

"Ok!"

There is nothing good to eat at home.

The really good stuff is still there from Xun Muyang.

Zhu Xiao is not greedy for this.

When we arrived at the third uncle's house, the third uncle's grandson came up, "Erlang is here!"

"I'll come to see my third uncle, and I'll bring my three children over to kowtow to my third uncle!" Zhu Erlang said.

The two can still be regarded as cousins, but there is a lot of age difference.

"Come in!"

"Okay!" Zhu Erlang led Zhu Xiaosan into the main room.

Third Uncle hadn't passed his last breath yet, but he had already put on his shroud and was lying on the door panel.

Someone kowtowed to him, all of them were juniors from Zhujia Village.

The third uncle tilted his head and watched, his eyes that should have been muddy seemed clear at this moment.

It was the turn of Zhu Erlang, father and daughter.

Zhu Erlang went forward to kowtow first, "San Shugong, I am Erlang, and I brought three children to kowtow to you!"

The third uncle blinked his eyes, and he understood.

Zhu Erlang kowtowed, got up and stood aside, it was the turn of the three sisters.

The three of them stepped forward and knelt down together, "Third Uncle and Grandpa, we kowtow to you!"

The third uncle blinked, but gently stretched out his hand.

"Grandpa, what do you want?"

Third Uncle pointed at Zhu Xiao.

For a moment, everyone in the main room looked at Zhu Xiao.

"..."

Zhu Xiao was taken aback.

This……

"Xiao Xiao, hurry over!" Someone pushed Zhu Xiao from behind, causing her to stagger.

Zhu Xiao looked back, there were several women, and she didn't know which one it was?
"Come here!" Third Uncle said softly.

Even the word "Come over" is vague.

Zhu Xiao pursed her lips.

She didn't want to go there at all.

This kind of old man, who has lived for 99 years, is already a human being, and when he is dying, she thinks it is better not to contact him.

But with so many people watching, if she ran away, she might be drowned in saliva.

Step forward.

The third uncle raised his hand.

"Quick, hold your third uncle's hand!"

"..."

Zhu Xiao's head was full of black lines.

Swallowing his saliva, he stretched out his hand to hold it.

This is a hand with only bones and skin, but it does not have the coldness of a dying person, but has a trace of warmth.

"you you……"

"Grandfather, she is Xiaoxiao, the second girl of Erlang's family!"

The third uncle was silent for a moment before saying, "Good boy!"

He opened his hand lightly.

Zhu Xiao took a few steps back, Zhu Erlang stepped forward to support her, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, little one, the third uncle and grandpa passed on blessings to you!"

"..."

Zhu Xiaomo.

Nodding slightly, she reached out to Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er.

Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er quickly grabbed hold of it, and the three sisters went out of the main room together.

Then I heard a mournful cry from the main room, "Grandfather..."

Zhu Xiao paused, and couldn't help but look back into the main room.

The crying in the main room was loud, and many people knelt down.

Zhu Xiao turned his head and looked at the sky.

The rain was getting heavier, just like her mood at this moment, desolate, ups and downs...

She didn't know what the third uncle saw when someone was about to die from time to time, but he shook hands with so many children, or was she the only one?
