Doomsday Totem

Chapter 418 Broken Teeth
"Your third sister-in-law's name is Zhu Xiuhua. When you meet her, you should give her one or two gold coins as a gift, and then you must not offend her, and don't mention Norses, brilliant fire, etc. in front of her. The third child is called Zhu Xiuhua. Zhu Yongnian has little to do with our Norses..."

On the way to Xijing, Hagrid kept on telling Iron Slag various "precautions".The third child was raised by the old Zhu's family. The two old people not only treated him as their own, but also married their only daughter to him. Therefore, Zhu's family is very kind to the third child.It is also because of this that the third child is particularly afraid of his wife.

In the afternoon of the next day, after a day and a night of driving and running nearly [-] kilometers of mountain roads, everyone finally arrived in Xijing.

Compared with the Yujing of the Horned Rhinoceros clan that Tie Slag once visited, Xijing, where the multi-tribes live, is more simple and honest, with a long history, but it also appears to be more backward and poorer.Although Yujing is deep in the hinterland of the Far East, it has many modern facilities, many high-end hotels, and a variety of consumer places.Xijing, on the other hand, is more like a mixture of an ancient city and a market for agricultural products.

Along the way, there are few buildings in Xijing that are higher than five stories, and most of them are bungalows or two-story houses.After entering the city for about twenty minutes, under Hagrid's command, the jeep drove into a bustling shopping street.Looking around, there are shops on both sides of this street, selling everything.

From the sign at the entrance, you can see that there are various grocery stores, hardware stores, grain stores, snack stores, clothing stores, electrical appliances stores, repair shops, machinery stores, car repair shops, bakeries, biscuit shops, etc. Everything that one expects to find is overwhelming.

Not long after entering the shopping street, at the corner of a soup noodle shop, Hagrid asked the driver and Zhao Wenke to find a place to rest nearby, and then walked for a while with the iron slag to the side of the street. In front of a two-story house.

There is a grocery store on the lower floor of this house, and a lot of colorful clothes are hung on the upper floor, which seems to be residential.

The sign of the grocery store said: "Zhu Ji Store." The sign had lost a lot of paint and looked extremely old. The door frames and walls of the grocery store were also very old and dark, as if they hadn't been cleaned for years.

Looking in from the outside of the store, the owner is a fat woman in her 30s, with an ordinary appearance, about 1.6 meters tall, with thick waist, thick legs and thick arms.If you look closely, you can see that the lines of her face are relatively rough, and there is a bit of fierceness and strength between her brows.It is not difficult to see that she is a strong and pungent woman.

"She is your third sister-in-law," Hagrid reminded in a low voice.

"En." Tie Slag nodded.Then, the two walked to the front of the store and stood still.

Seeing a guest coming, Zhu Xiuhua immediately smiled and came out to greet her.But when she saw that it was Hagrid who came, she raised her eyebrows, immediately put away her smile, put on an expression like "I saw a ghost", and said weakly: "Second Uncle, what kind of wind brought you here?" gone."

"Oh..." Hagrid said with a foolish smile, "I just happened to pass by Xijing on business, so I stopped by to see the third child and you."

"I don't want to say hello in advance, it's good to have a voice call, so I can prepare more meals." Zhu Xiuhua squinted her eyes, glanced at Hagrid, and said.

"No, no, let's just sit and go, just sit and go." Hagrid said with a smile.

"How can this be done!" Zhu Xiuhua immediately put on a straight face, and said loudly, "Second Uncle came to my place and left without even eating a meal. How do you make the neighbors think of me? How will I, Zhu Xiuhua, behave in the future!"

"No, no, I didn't mean that, I was afraid to trouble you." Hagrid quickly explained.

"My family, what's the trouble!" Zhu Xiuhua said in a rough voice.

"Or, let's go out to eat together at night." Hagrid said.

"How can I do that? My relatives have to go out to eat when they come home. What do you tell the neighbors to think of me? Could it be that I, Zhu Xiuhua, can't even cook? How can you tell me how to behave in the future!" Zhu Xiuhua said aggressively, completely A look of unreasonable and unforgiving.Hagrid had no choice but to scratch his hair, nodded again, and didn't answer the conversation.

Then, Zhu Xiuhua moved out a small wooden table and a few small benches from the shop, and placed them under a big tree by the street, made a large pot of tea, took a few ceramic cups, and poured them heavily on the wooden table. Let it go, and let Hagrid pour himself the tea.

As soon as Hagrid poured three cups of tea, Zhu Xiuhua took some snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, sugar, plums, etc. from the store, and piled them all on the table, inviting them to eat.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Xiuhua ate melon seeds while looking at the iron slag.After a while, she frowned, turned her head and said to Hagrid, "I think this little brother looks a bit like the dead ghost of my family, maybe he is your brother again."

"This..." Hagrid scratched his hair, and introduced with a little embarrassment, "This is the fifth, Iron Slag."

Zhu Xiuhua suddenly showed surprise, turned her head, looked up and down Tie Slag again, finally raised her head thoughtfully, and said as if talking to herself: "Didn't you say that you are dead..."

"Uh..." Hagrid rubbed his forehead and explained, "It was said that life and death were uncertain back then, not that he was dead..." While speaking, he took advantage of Zhu Xiuhua's back to him, and winked at Tie Slag .

Seeing this, Iron Slag couldn't help but rolled his eyes, then took out two gold coins from his pocket, put them on the table, but said nothing.

"This is a meeting gift from the fifth brother." Hagrid bared his teeth at Tie Zha, expressing his dissatisfaction, and said to Zhu Xiuhua.

"Yo~ Our Fifth Uncle is a talented young man. He is unsmiling, doesn't talk nonsense, and will have great prospects in the future~" Zhu Xiuhua boasted and stuffed two gold coins into his pocket.

"Where's Liao... Where's Zhu Yongnian?" Tie Slag asked with a solemn expression.

"Our dead ghost is still at work, and he won't be home until 06:30. Uncle Wu will sit and drink tea first, and he will come back after dinner." Zhu Xiuhua said with a smile.As the saying goes, one thing falls for one thing, she was much more polite when facing the cold iron slag.

In fact, the general situation of a person can be inferred from the people around him.From the first time he saw Zhu Xiuhua, Tie Slag had already given up any hope for Fang Norses.There are also quite a few shrews in Tieshan Town, but those as powerful as Zhu Xiuhua are relatively rare.

"Mom... Hey, the second uncle is here." "Second uncle, second uncle!." "Long live, second uncle is here!" "Second uncle..."

While thinking, two little boys with schoolbags and two little girls rushed up from behind, and immediately surrounded Hagrid, chattering loudly.Hagrid laughed, picked them up one by one, and put them on his shoulders.

"The second uncle is so tall!" "I want to be like the second uncle when I grow up!" "That's~ the second uncle is so amazing~" "What good things did the second uncle bring me?"

"Come, come, ask him, he is your fifth uncle." Hagrid said, pointing at Tie Slag.

Two men and two women climbed down from Hagrid's shoulders one after another. The girl looked at the iron slag timidly, but the boy was extremely bold. One of them stepped forward and kicked his feet, and said with his arms crossed, "Hey, two Bo said you are our fifth uncle, what fun things did you bring us?"

Looking at the little bandit-like boy, Tie Slag couldn't help laughing, recalling that he was so barbaric and unlovable when he was young.Immediately, there were four "cracks, bangs, bangs", and four gold coins were taken out in a row, and they were asked to buy things by themselves.

"Oh, Uncle Fifth, I'm really sorry, children are ignorant, and it's costing you again." Zhu Xiuhua said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay." Tie Slag waved his hand casually and said.

After a while, Zhu Xiuhua took Haila aside, and asked in a low voice: "I think this old fifth is generous and extravagant, what is he doing? He must be like you, restless all day long."

"He's an officer," said Hagrid gravely.

"Ah! An official!" Zhu Xiuhua accidentally raised her voice, quickly covered her mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the official? Is the official position high?"

"Sir." Hagrid said, taking a peek at Iron Slag.

"How big is it? Is it as big as the street director?" Zhu Xiuhua asked expectantly.

"What is the director? He's bigger than the mayor." Hagrid said seriously.

"Ah!" Zhu Xiuhua couldn't help raising her voice again, "It's bigger than the mayor!" Then she sighed, "It's amazing!" Then, she thought for a while and said, "I see, he is your family member. The most promising one."

"That...that's..." Hagrid said, nodding.

"How old is he this year, does he have a girlfriend?" Zhu Xiuhua asked.

Hagrid didn't realize it for a while, so he answered truthfully: "It seems to be 22 this year, probably not yet."

"That's great..." Zhu Xiuhua said with bright eyes, "The daughter of the old Wang's family next door is pretty good. I'll call her for dinner later, so that they can get in touch with young people more."

"Okay, you can figure it out." Hagrid subconsciously scratched his hair and said.

As time passed, the sky was getting darker, and at 06:30 in the evening, a man with a shoulder bag came hurriedly from a distance.

Seeing Hagrid sitting in front of the grocery store, he was startled for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Second brother!" Hagrid looked up when he heard the voice, immediately stood up, and rushed over with big strides.

The next moment, the two embraced tightly.

"Come on, this is the fifth child, called Tie Zha, and this is the third child." After embracing each other, Hegla introduced the man to meet Tie Slag.

"Hello, Fang." Iron Slag stretched out his hand calmly.For some reason, he couldn't feel any intimacy with the brother in front of him.

However, the man stretched out his hands, held his hand tightly, tears welled up in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You... hello... old... old... iron... iron slag. "
