Xiaopang and I stopped in the town for a while and bought some things to give to my family. We definitely couldn’t go back empty-handed.
Because we bought too many things, the car we rented couldn’t load them, so Xiaopang rented a van in the town and filled it with all kinds of things.
I took a look at the things Xiaopang bought. Basically, they were all food and drink.
He couldn't think of buying anything else. After buying these things, he could only eat at home for three days.
I then advised Xiaopang to buy some things for his parents, especially some gold jewelry and necklaces for his mother. This way, the old man would be proud to take them out, and he would praise his son when he met everyone, and people in the village would also know him. Make a lot of money outside.
In addition, I told Xiaopang that I can leave some money for my family, but I can’t leave too much, just one hundred thousand or eighty thousand.
Leaving too much money at home can easily lead to disaster and may be missed by others. Do not add unnecessary trouble to the family.
Although Xiaopang, this stubborn guy, didn't quite understand what I said, he had complete trust in me and did everything as I told him.
Xiaopang and I bought gold jewelry for my mother. After everything was ready, we returned to the village.
Our two families were not far apart, and we separated when we arrived in the village.
The last few times I went home, my parents would wait for me at the entrance of the village, but this time I spent more than a month recuperating at the Xue Family Pharmacy, which delayed my return home schedule. I guess they were already very worried.
Uncle Huzi walked over and knocked on the door.
The door opened after just two knocks, and my mother rushed out of the yard: "Uncle Tiger, where is my son?"
"Mom, I'm here." I smiled at her.
The moment she saw me, my mother's tears fell, and then she rushed over and grabbed my arm: "Xiao Jie, didn't you always come back at that time in the past? Mom has been waiting for you at the entrance of the village for several days. God, I didn’t even see you coming back, I thought you weren’t coming..."
"How could it be? I've been delayed by something. I will definitely come back to see you. When the matter is settled, I will rush home as soon as possible. Don't wait at the entrance of the village anymore. I will definitely come back." I kept saying comforted her.
When I took a closer look, I found that my mother was older and had a lot more white hair.
Just a little bit, I really won't be able to come back.
This time, the tribulation has gone full circle at the gate of hell.
My parents definitely don’t know what I’ve been through outside, and I definitely won’t tell them, otherwise I’ll be worried all day long.
My father and grandfather in the yard also heard the noise and came out to greet me.
"Xiao Jie is back..." Grandpa smiled at me. There were not many teeth left in his mouth, but his body was still very strong.
I have experienced it the past few times I went home. For my convenience, my dad built a shed for me in the yard and put a bed in it.
Seeing these, I was still very moved.
My son only went home for three days. They look forward to these three days every year, and I look forward to going home all the time.
Because this is the place where I was born and raised.
Every time I go home, I feel particularly peaceful. There are no fights, monsters, or intrigues. Only here can I enjoy a few days of family affection and warmth.
Many times I have thought that if I had not become a disciple, I would have been living in this small mountain village, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and it would not be a bad thing to be an ordinary citizen.
But this is my destiny. I am destined to travel around and experience various disasters throughout my life.
I don’t regret it either. Anyway, I have also met a group of good brothers, the sloppy Taoist priest, Kasang, Yuankong, and Brother Gu, who are all willing to fight for me. With this group of good brothers, I will never be afraid of them in this life. This trip is a waste.
My mother was busy cooking again, and my dad and grandpa and I were sitting in the yard chatting. Even if we didn't talk sometimes and suddenly fell silent, I wouldn't feel any embarrassment.
But I still feel that my father is a little alienated from me. After all, I haven’t seen him for so many years and we only stay at home three days a year.
It didn't feel like the relationship between father and son, I felt like a guest.
After the meal was ready, we all gathered around the yard. My mother was afraid that I would be hungry, so she kept picking up food for me.
While eating, chatting, and drinking, time passed quickly.
It wasn't until late at night that I persuaded a few of them to go back to sleep. I lay alone in the yard, in the awning my father built for me, and looked at the starry sky.
Late at night when no one was around, I invited the eight-tailed fox out and asked her to watch the stars and the moon with me.
Although the eight-tailed fox can transform into a human form, she has no physical form and cannot stay outside for too long.
Fortunately, I can see her every day now.
Looking at her indescribably beautiful face, I feel very lucky. We don’t even need to find a wife. We have a daughter-in-law when we are born, and she is so beautiful. Who can I ask for explanation?
In fact, these days, I often let the eight-tailed fox come out to discuss life.
At this time, the eight-tailed fox looked at the stars, and I looked at her.
I couldn't help but said: "Daughter-in-law, you said that after I can fight against the heavenly calamity in the future, and I help you restore your Dharmakaya, we will live in this small village, and we will no longer run around here and there, and live peacefully." OK?"
The eight-tailed fox turned his head and looked at me, smiled and nodded, a little shy, but said nothing.
"Then let's have more children. I like children. Let's have seven or eight children. It will be fun together." I giggled.
"This is too much..." the eight-tailed fox said in surprise.
"No more, no more... There's no one here right now, otherwise let's talk to each other first and pay a deposit..."
Saying that, I reached out to hold the eight-tailed fox's hand.
"You bastard... I should go back..." The eight-tailed fox subconsciously hid away.
"Don't be afraid, wife. I am a serious and honest person. I just want to be honest..." I stood up and walked towards the eight-tailed fox.
Twelve thousand words are omitted here, mainly because you don’t want to read it.
The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast, I took my parents and grandpa to the city, bought them some things, and took them to a restaurant for a big meal.
In the evening, I sent them back home, and Uncle Huzi and I took our things to see Granny Liu.
Grandma Liu has always been alone. As she gets older, I have always been worried about her. She saved my life when I was a child. Every time I come back, I have to visit her.
But after meeting Granny Liu this time, she was not in good condition. She seemed to be sick while lying on the bed. After asking, she found out that she had been beaten.
