"This child lost his father when he was born. Coupled with these years, his life is like a fire. This is just the beginning. If he becomes a wife in the future, it is indeed a way out." I said.
When He Pheasant heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy.
She immediately turned around and went back to the room.
After a moment, she came out, holding a piece of letter paper in her hand.
Then she took out another large piece of paper, wrapped it in letter paper, opened the door of Chen Huan'er's room, and put the things in.
After all this was done, He Pheasant nodded to me.
I went and knocked on the doors of Yang Koushan and Liu Zhengdao.
After the two of them came out, I whispered to get ready to leave, and I would explain what happened just now along the way.
Neither Liu Zhengdao nor Yang Koushan had any other opinions.
The car is missing one horse, but there are still three horses left, so it won't affect anything in the short term.
We left Chen Huan'er's home.
Before leaving, He Zhi looked back sympathetically.
A group of us left Chenjiacun.
There are almost no pedestrians on the village road at this point.
Obviously, they were all frightened by the commotion on the shore.
The body on the dock was gone.
Liu Zhengdao and Yang Qishan and I told them everything that had happened before.
Yang Qishan's expression didn't change much. Liu Zhengdao shook his head, with a slight sigh in his eyes.
The total distance of twenty miles did not take us too long.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the gate of Kaiyang City.
Kaiyang City Gate is not directly adjacent to Yangjiang River, but is almost ten miles away.
After entering the city, I felt the prosperity of this place. The streets were full of vendors and pedestrians.
Grandma He told me back then that I would look for her in Kaiyang.
But where to find it specifically, they didn’t say much.
What I planned to do was to find a local snake first when I entered the city. The wife's residence should not be a secret.
Liu Zhengdao's expression was slightly tense, his lips were pursed slightly all the time, and his entire face looked solemn.
Yang Keshan asked me how I planned to find my former boss.
It was impossible for him to directly call Liu Tianniu by his first name. For him, Liu Sanyuan was the current elder. Naturally, the former elder was
This was his name for Liu Tianniu.
I told Yang Qishan that when I find the Granny He I am looking for, she will definitely know some news since she has lived in Kaiyang for a long time.
Yang Qishan was thoughtful, while Liu Zhengdao didn't say much.
After a while, we found a local snake on the edge of the city.
He Zhi started to say that we were going to find the wife of the He family. The local snake shook his head like a rattle and said that he knew but did not dare to go.
It wasn't until He Fei came up with a handful of money that the local coward changed the subject.
He did not continue to take us into the city, but left the city and headed east outside the city.
After walking a few miles, we saw a village.
There is an archway hanging at the head of the village, which says Feng Village.
Several villagers are carrying fishing boats or fishing nets into the village.
It is obvious that most people here rely on water and Yangjiang for their livelihood.
After entering the village, the local snake pulled some villagers to ask for directions before we continued moving forward.
When I was almost to the first three-quarters of the way to the village, I saw a courtyard.
The courtyard walls are all surrounded by dwarf mulberry trees. There is also a tall poplar tree standing in the courtyard, and the leaves make a crackling sound under the wind blowing.
The He family's grandmother has passed down the tradition for many generations, and her disciples have spread out. The courtyards are all built according to the same ancestral precepts.
The five-year-old tree hurts the family home, but it can kill the descendants of the He family!
Only those with a strong destiny can pass on the old lady’s skills!
The local snake pointed to the yard, whispered that he was there, and then ran away.
He Zhi looked a little nervous. She walked closer and tapped on the door.
A group of us also walked to the front of the courtyard.
Not long after, the courtyard door opened.
But the one who opened the door was not the Grandma He in my memory. And a woman in her twenties, petite, and pretty.
She wore two braids, colorful clothes, and several bells hanging around her waist.
A long, thin mourning stick was pinned behind her back, with a length protruding from her shoulder.
"Who are you looking for?" The woman looked at us doubtfully, and her voice was extremely clear. I vaguely felt that this woman was somewhat familiar.
Frowning, I looked her up and down.
He Zhi took a deep breath, and she glanced at the woman as well, with even more joy on her face.
"You, are you He Qiyue?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, with more doubts in her eyes.
But the next moment, her body trembled slightly.
"You...he pheasant?!"
Then, she immediately looked at me.
The surprise in her eyes was even more than that of He Fei.
"You, are you Li Yinyang?! You actually came to Kaiyang!"
He Qiyue reached out and tried to pull my arm!
I took a half step back.
He Zhi reached out his hand at the right moment and caught He Qiyue's hands.
She said softly: "My husband and I have wanted to come to Kaiyang for a long time. We have been here for more than ten years, and we finally came."
"Husband and wife..." He Qiyue.
She retracted her hand and glanced at the people behind us again, especially at Dunkong. Because beside Dunkong, there was a red mastiff following closely!
"Please come in first. My mother-in-law has gone to Xiaoliu Village. She probably won't come back until dark." There was a hint of disappointment in He Qiyue's eyes.
We all entered the courtyard, and she invited us into the main room.
After serving us tea, He Qiyue's mood improved a lot. She asked us a few questions, roughly where we came from and how hard it was to travel.
Finally, she glanced at the red mastiff and asked tentatively: "Is this wolf mastiff about to turn into a man?"
The red mastiff stared at He Qiyue with his gloomy eyes and pursed his lips.
He Qiyue immediately didn't dare to ask any more questions.
She seemed a lot more restrained and looked at Dunkong with curiosity.
Dunkong responded to her with a friendly smile and patted the red mastiff on the head to make it not scary.
The red mastiff whimpered and lay down at Dun Kong's feet.
He Qiyue was even more surprised and murmured: "It recognizes him as its master? Not you."
He Qiyue said this to He Pheasant.
He Zhi smiled and nodded.
He Qiyue is even more...
She also stopped talking.
The waiting time was a bit boring. During this period, I asked He Qiyue some questions.
I did not directly ask Mr. Da from Kaiyang City, but first asked if any Taoist priests from the Liu family had appeared in Kaiyang City in recent years.
He Qiyue nodded immediately and said, "Is that the Taoist priest back then, the one riding a cow?"
I nodded, I was right.
The eyes of Liu Zhengdao and Yang Qishan both fell on He Qiyue.
He Qiyue took a cautious step back before whispering: "Many years ago, he suddenly appeared in Kaiyang. During that time, he opened a small Taoist temple outside the city."
"About a few years ago, another old Taoist priest came and brought his big bull."
"Now, the only ones left in that Taoist temple are the old Taoist priest and the ox."
"The people of Kaiyang City don't like Taoist priests."
