They were looking for raspberries in the woods to eat together. Not far behind them was an old Taoist priest who was Huang Daoling.
Xiao Xiao knew that Da Zhuang was Huang Daoling's son and was called Huang Liang, but she was used to calling him Da Zhuang, and Huang Liang was also used to being called Da Zhuang by her.
The strong and honest man squatted beside Xiao Xiao and spread out his palm as big as a steamer. The little girl on the side picked raspberries and put them in his palm. He didn't dare to move for fear of those who were there. The red fruit in his eyes, as thin as a mosquito fly, fell from his fingers.
In his heart, the little girl in front of him was the first person who didn't call him a beast, and she was also the first person who treated him well after he was severely beaten.
As for the old Taoist priest standing in the distance, he knew to call him daddy, and he also knew that this old Taoist priest would come to Dongxing Mountain to visit him every few months, and would bring him a bunch of delicious pastries and chicken drumsticks. But this old Taoist priest never showed up when he was injured. Sometimes, he didn't even know who his father was. In his heart, he always felt that this little girl was the best.
Xiao Xiao raised her hand and signaled Da Zhuang to eat. Da Zhuang held his mouth and was stunned. It turned out that the girl had been picking for so long and it was all for himself. Then he shook his head and muttered in his mouth. It looked like he was going to fall down. Xiao Xiao eats.
Xiao Xiao understood, frowned and pointed to a large cluster of raspberries not far away, and muttered: "Don't yell, just eat when I tell you to. I am the eldest sister and you are the younger brother. Be obedient and hurry up." eat!"
Da Zhuang laughed sillyly, opened his mouth with a smile, and then ate a handful of fruits carefully picked by the little girl in his palm.
"You have a large intestine, so I feed you so much. Otherwise, how would you taste it? If you can't taste the taste of this good food, it must be wasted." Xiao Xiao continued to squat and pick raspberries. , while muttering.
Before he finished speaking, he looked up and realized that Da Zhuang still swallowed the raspberry in one gulp without chewing it twice.
Xiao Xiao frowned and said, "What does it taste like? Is it delicious?"
When Da Zhuang heard this, he frowned and shook his head to express that he didn't know what it tasted like. Then he struggled to squeeze out the two words in his mind through his teeth: "It's delicious!"
Xiao Xiao sighed, shook his head, and muttered: "It was a waste after all."
The old Taoist priest Huang Daoling looked at this scene and felt bad. He was obviously his own son, but now he acted as if that girl was his father. He couldn't speak as well as that girl, but he was always worried about Da Zhuang. When he gets sick, he has no choice but to follow him. Whenever something happens, he can go up and give him pills.
The pills were bought from the second elder at a cost of several thousand taels of silver when he went to the mountains last time. He had been keeping them to prevent his son from getting sick when he was with him.
It was precisely because of these few pills that Da Zhuang was enough to stay at the foot of the mountain for a longer period of time, so he agreed not to leave Daojiazhai with Da Zhuang for the time being.
After all, it was uncomfortable to be a watchdog in the mountains, and he also wanted his son to be grateful for the happy days and suffer less.
Huang Daoling looked at the cheerful smiles of the girl and his silly son in the distance, and felt happy in his heart. Every time he met his son, he had never seen his son smiling so happily. It's a pity that my son was born with a disease and couldn't leave the Dongxing Mountain. However, I raised money from everywhere to give to the second elder in the hope that the second elder's medicine could save my son's life. It doesn't matter if he works as a gatekeeper for others, it's stupid. After all, it’s always good to be alive.
Huang Daoling smiled slightly, remembering what his wife looked like when she was alive, and her eyes were filled with the longing of the past. Unfortunately, his wife had a difficult delivery and could not survive. This silly son in front of him became his only hope for survival.
Xiao Xiao picked another handful of raspberries for Da Zhuang and asked Da Zhuang to deliver them to the old Taoist priest standing not far away. After all, he was Da Zhuang's father, so it didn't matter if he gave him some.
Da Zhuang then stood up and gave a handful to his father, Huang Daoling. Huang Daoling frowned and asked, "For dad?"
Da Zhuang nodded stupidly.
Huang Daoling then took one from Da Zhuang's hand and put it into his mouth, as if he had taken a fairy medicine, and was moved to tears.
"Child, you eat too, you eat too." Huang Daoling raised her strong hand with tears in her eyes and asked him to eat.
Da Zhuang looked at the old Taoist priest and saw why he was crying. He was a little confused and stupidly picked up the raspberries in his hand.
He put it in his mouth, swallowed it whole, then turned around and squatted next to Xiao Xiao. He spread his hands obediently and let Xiao Xiao continue to pick raspberries.
While picking wild fruits, Xiao Xiao turned around and glanced at the zodiac spirit who was always guarding the two of them. She didn't like the old Taoist priest very much. He was obsessed with wealth. He cheated a few brothers in the village by telling their fortunes. He spent a lot of money, lived in other people's homes, and never paid for it. He must be an unpleasant guy.
Xiao Xiao subconsciously touched the one hundred taels of silver notes in her arms that Uncle Liu had given her before leaving. Don't let this old money man fool you. She carefully touched the inner pocket of her clothes. There were no holes. Then I feel relieved a lot. ...
Xiaoyu came out of Shanxing Restaurant, took the horse, and then hurried back to Daojiazhai.
When he reached the iron cable bridge on the edge of the Hengjiang River, he dismounted, led the horse away, and led the horse onto the bridge, only to realize that he had forgotten an important thing.
That was because Da Zhuang was ill and needed to go to Dongxing Mountain to find the chess doctor Kong Pavilion. He had thought about it before going up the mountain, but after this trip, he actually forgot about it.
Xiao Yu patted her forehead and frowned. She couldn't go back to Dongxing Mountain, could she? It took another two days to go back and forth. There was no choice but to let Huang Daoling take Da Zhuang back.
The boy guarding the village saw it was Xiao Yu and hurriedly opened the gate of the village. Butler Luo personally led Xiao Yu to the meeting hall.
At this time, the master of the knife village and the third master were waiting in the meeting hall, and Wei Changyin and Li Luo also came over. Only Huang Daoling, Da Zhuang, and Xiao Xiao did not return. They said they were going east to play. They had already sent someone to call them and they would be back soon.
Xiaoyu handed Qiguan's jade pendant to Dao Qingqing, explained to Dao Qingqing the entire process of his trip, and also relayed Qiguan's instructions to them, asking them to just detain the two deacons. If there were people from the Xuantian Sect, When you come to conquer the stronghold, you can use this jade pendant to defeat the enemy.
Dao Qingqing believed deeply in Xiao Yu and naturally accepted the jade pendant, grateful.
Xiaoyu also discussed the next itinerary with Wei Changyin, and Wei Changyin agreed one by one.
First, Xiao Yu and Yu Liufei will send Xiao Xiao back to her uncle's house, which she often talks about.
Second, Mr. Wei and Li Luo returned to Lushan to resume their duties.
The third is that Huang Daoling took Da Zhuang back to Dongxing Mountain to treat his illness.
Fourth, Daojiazhai will wait for half a month for news from the mountain. By then, Qiguan will naturally kidnap Wen Jinchun and send him to the village.
Everyone agreed to this arrangement.
The next day, the morning of March 13th, was the time to say goodbye.
It's just that Li Luo didn't want to be separated from Xiao Yu again. She frowned and looked at Xiao Yu with watery eyes, unable to explain clearly. On one side, An Ning, Zhou Xiaoyi, and Mr. Wei were already on their horses and ready to leave. Li Luo was still standing stupidly, looking at Xiao Yu who was still waving at her.
The boys and girls were thoughtful. Xiao Yu could see Li Luo's worries. When leaving, he shouted to Li Luo: After he and his senior brother return to Dui Yi Valley to ask for instructions from their master, they will go to their Lushan Mountain as a guest to see her.
When Li Luo heard this, he smiled widely, then got on his horse and said goodbye.
