"What's wrong? You're scared again? You've been scared here and there all day long, and you still have the nerve to say you're our master's uncle?" A Lang saw Ergou Taoist froze on the spot, and couldn't help but stimulate Ergou Taoist again.
"What do you know? You bastard! Don't talk nonsense!" After Ergou Taoist reprimanded A Lang, he looked at Chu Nianlang, "It's okay, it's okay, Nianlang, but your mother's name sounds familiar to me. Maybe she is I have the same name, so please continue to lead the way."
"Oh, okay." Chu Nianlang touched his head, scratching his head at Taoist Ergou's sudden and unexpected behavior. He stopped asking Taoist Ergou about the whole story and continued to lead the two of them towards the mountainside.
Strange to say, the entire Yuanshan Town is lush and full of vitality, but when we reach this isolated mountainous area, the overall scenery is desolate. Along the way, the trees on both sides of the road are either broken branches or weeds, which makes passers-by feel sad. Depressed, but not lifeless.
After the time of burning incense, the three of them walked to the intersection of the first and third roads on the mountainside. They saw three tile-roofed houses built at a flat dam. The courtyard was clean and paved with stone bricks. The tile-roofed houses were surrounded by a rare blue-purple garden. In stark contrast to the surrounding environment, a woman wearing a blue-purple dress sat sideways on a wicker chair in the courtyard, holding a book in one hand and gently supporting her head with the other, as if she was sleepy and taking a nap.
"Mother, I'm back." With Chu Nianlang's soft call, the woman woke up from her nap, stood up and greeted Chu Nianlang. Chu Nianlang jogged in front of the woman, and the woman's eyes narrowed into a line, and she could see Chu Nianlang loved Chu Nianlang.
Only then did A Lang see the woman's full face. The woman's eyebrows were curved with willow leaves, and her facial features were very delicate. Although she didn't wear makeup, she made people feel nostalgic. Ever since she left the Nether Forest and walked all the way, A Lang has never seen such beauty. woman.
While Ah Lang was feeling emotional, Taoist Ergou had already stood there blankly, silently chanting, "This is the legendary Chu people..." Before Taoist Ergou could say the beautiful words, a sentence His sharp eyes glanced at Taoist Ergou. When their eyes met, Taoist Ergou was frightened. He hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands to signal, "Barbarian monk Chu Zhongquan pays my respects to my senior!"
"Senior?!" Ah Lang frowned when he saw Taoist Ergou behave like this, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Taoist Ergou and the woman, "What is this?"
"I am not your senior. You have recognized the wrong person. This little girl is just a person abandoned by the family. I hope the immortal master will not talk nonsense!" After hearing what the woman said, Taoist Ergou raised his head and looked at the woman. After a moment of exchange, the two men looked at each other. The Dog Taoist hurriedly lowered his head again, "Yes, yes, yes", "I admitted the wrong person, and I hope you will forgive me." The Ergou Taoist said while stepping back, grabbing Alang's arm and starting to leave down the mountain.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? How can you drive away Senior Brother and Uncle Ergou? They are the ones who helped me when the disciples of the family bullied me."
"Oh? Wait a minute!" After hearing the woman's order, Taoist Ergou stopped and did not dare to move. "Come back, I have something to ask you!" After hearing this, Taoist Ergou grabbed A Lang's arm and walked back to the courtyard, making A Lang look confused. Seeing A Lang's slight resistance, Taoist Er Gou walked towards A Lang. Lang whispered, "Follow me, don't talk, I'll tell you the reason later, otherwise you and I will have no chance to leave alive!" After hearing this, A Lang was even more confused, and could only be led back to the courtyard by Taoist Ergou like a puppet.
"Tell me, how did the Chu family bully my child? If there is even the slightest omission, never leave here."
"Mom, what's wrong with you? You scared Nian Lang. They just bullied the child verbally and did not hurt the child physically. Moreover, the senior brother vented his anger on my behalf."
"Oh, that's right. Let me see if there are any injuries." The woman said while checking Chu Nianlang's whole body, "Fortunately, I wouldn't dare to measure them, otherwise..." After confirming that Chu Nianlang After Lang showed no signs of injury, the woman turned to A Lang, narrowed her eyes, and stretched out her hand to greet him with a smile, "Come on, little one, let Auntie Mei see if you are injured?"
A Lang couldn't help but tense up when he saw the woman's smiling eyes. Coupled with all the previous performances, A Lang was not sure what kind of person the woman in front of him was, so he took two nervous steps back. This was the first time A Lang had faced someone. The opposite sex has an inexplicable fear.
Before A Lang could take a few steps back, the woman had already walked in front of him. The moment the woman's hands touched her, a spiritual energy full of restraining power came from the woman's hands. A Lang stood upright like a wooden stake. , allowing the woman's hands to flip over his head, A Lang felt irritated. At the moment when the woman's spiritual power was about to flow into his spiritual pool for inspection, an invisible spiritual power instantly defeated the woman's spiritual power, and the woman couldn't help but stagger. Take a few steps back.
"Interesting, interesting, Nianlang, your senior brother is not injured, but he is a little tired. Please take them to the small courtyard in the forest to have a rest, and come back for dinner after sunset." The woman told Chu Nianlang, turned around and walked straight to the tile-roofed house. He ignored Ergou Taoist and Alang.
"Well, mother, are you okay? What happened to you today?" After seeing his mother ignore him and leave, Chu Nianlang frowned and scratched his head, then turned to look at Taoist Ergou and Alang. , "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, Uncle Ergou, my mother is not usually like this. It's possible that no outsiders have come here for a few years. Don't be angry."
"No, no, it's good, it's good. Nianlang, your mother said to take us to the small courtyard in the forest. Come on, take us to have a look. We are very curious!" From the words of Taoist Ergou The Taoist priest Chu Ergou was very anxious to leave.
Alang looked at Taoist Ergou with a questioning look on his face and thought silently in his heart.
"Oh, well, let's go, senior brother. I'll take you there to rest first and come back for dinner later." After saying that, Chu Nianlang lowered his head slightly and walked in front of the two of them, as if he was leading the way with guilt. , no more words.
After half a cup of tea, Chu Nianlang led the two of them to the bottom of a huge tree, "Elder brother, Uncle Ergou, you guys take a rest in this small courtyard. I will find you later."
"Oh, okay, Nianlang, you go to see your mother first, but this small courtyard..." Ergou Taoist looked around with doubts. There is no small courtyard here, only a bare piece of gravel. Just a dam. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. I was only thinking about my mother. The courtyard is up there." Chu Nianlang said as he raised his head and pointed to the crown of the giant tree. Alang and Ergou Taoist followed Chu Nianlang's direction. Looking over, I was shocked to see a small courtyard surrounded by flowers built on the crown of the giant tree above my head. I could vaguely see two thatched cottages in the courtyard. As the crown of the giant tree shook, the entire courtyard slowly followed. It flutters, and the whole thing looks like a cradle built in the canopy of the tree.
"Eldest brother, Uncle Ergou, there is a road in the hollow of the trunk of this tree, which can lead directly to the small courtyard on the top of the tree. You go and rest first. I will go back to see my mother. I have offended a lot today, and I hope you can forgive me."
Alang saw that Chu Nianlang was feeling very guilty and couldn't help but reached out and patted Chu Nianlang on the shoulder, "Junior brother, what are you thinking about? Auntie Mei is just worried about you. Don't think about it. Think about how pitiful I am, senior brother. Until now, I don’t know who my mother’s father is, so go back quickly and ask Aunt Mei to cook me something delicious, otherwise I won’t forgive her, you know I, Langxian, don’t forgive people easily!” When Chu Nianlang heard what A Lang said, he raised his head and looked at A Lang. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Yes, senior brother, I will do whatever the senior brother says. You guys wait here for me for a while. I know what mother makes is the most delicious!"
"Go, go, my stomach is screaming with hunger!" Alang said while waving to Chu Nianlang, who then turned around and left quickly.
Huh... Seeing Chu Nianlang leaving, Alang couldn't help but exhale, turned around and said to Taoist Ergou, "Uncle Gou, it's too scary. Let's run away quickly. Nianlang's mother is too scary." , It’s not suitable to stay here for a long time!”
"That's not a good idea!" Taoist Ergou stretched out his hand and patted Alang on the head. There was a clear and loud "pop", "Oh, Ergouzi, you dare to hit me!" Although Alang covered his head and screamed. However, the hostility towards Taoist Ergou is no longer as unfamiliar as it was at first. This all stems from the moment when Taoist Ergou was stabbed in the air by the second uncle of the Chu family for A Lang.
"Okay, I know you are a thick-skinned boy. Stop pretending to scream. You don't even use much force! You know how to pretend! Come up with me and have a look. Don't even think about running away. Come up and I'll tell you about this beautiful thing about Chu Renmei. After listening to this, you will know how wise it is for us to stay and wait and see what happens!" After Ergou Taoist finished speaking, he ignored A Lang and went straight to the path in the trunk of the giant tree.
"Wait for me!" A Lang stopped pretending to have a headache and followed Ergou Taoist to the tree crown courtyard.
