The sun was scorching hot, and Zhu Yuanyu fanned fiercely, hoping to cool down a little.
There were several ice basins in the house and several bowls of sour plum soup. Zhu Yuanyu just wished he could go back to modern times and use the air conditioner.
The weather was getting extremely hot, and Zhu Yuanyu had to wear a long robe. Although the satin was relatively thin, he couldn't lift up the hem and roll up the sleeves, as he still felt stuffy and not cool.
Zhu Dafu's forehead was covered with hot sweat, and he came in with his clothes pulled open.
He didn't mind that the bowl was Zhu Yuanyu's, so he poured a bowl of sour plum soup and drank it.
"Hey! I'm so thirsty!"
Zhu Yuanyu lay on the table, glanced at Zhu Dafu, and said wiltedly: "Dad, why are you going? Don't you even have a drink of water?"
Zhu Dafu went to the nearest ice basin and took a breath of cool air, "It's not that Zhu Gui! He's getting old and has to clean up the mess left by his son. What a sin!"
"oh."
Zhu Hui killed Zhu Daniu's wife, and they all came from the same village. They looked up but could not see each other when they looked down, and bumping into each other was inevitable.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't want to hear these bad things. He rolled his eyes and encouraged, "Dad, look at this damn weather, it's so hot that we might as well go to escape the heat, so that you and your mother can sleep better at night. Don't we have a house in our house? Summer resort? Just go there!"
"What do you mean your mother and I can sleep better at night?" Zhu Dafu sat next to his son and said with a smile: "Originally I had the intention, but now I can't go!"
When Zhu Yuanyu heard this, he became anxious, thinking that Zhu Dafu disagreed, so he said pitifully: "Dad, why? It's really hot..."
Zhu Dafu signaled him to calm down, "Dad received a letter from the capital. In a few days, we will move our family to the capital and settle down."
Zhu Yuanyu asked curiously: "Why?"
"For your future! Your uncle is an official in the court, and this letter is asking me to take your mother and you to Beijing. Speaking of which, your mother has never returned to her parents' home since she married into the Zhu family, and she has not been back to her parents' home since she was your age. ! Your grandparents and uncles must also miss your mother. If you go this time, you will not come back. I have already ordered people to start packing. "
Zhu Yuanyu understood.
Zhu Yuanyu's mother, Wang Chunmei, married his father, Zhu Dafu, which was considered a marriage. The two people with very different social status fell in love because of a chance encounter. Fortunately, the leader of the Wang family, Wang Dahai, who is Zhu Yuanyu's grandfather, was a very open-minded man. After careful inspection of Zhu Dafu, Because of his family background, he agreed to the marriage of the two. After Zhu Dafu proposed marriage, he chose a good day for the two to come to the church to get married.
At that time, Zhu Yuanyu's grandfather had been dead for many years, and Zhu Dafu did not want to worship his stepmother Zhou, so on the day of the ceremony, the newlyweds worshiped Zhu Yuanyu's grandfather and grandmother.
For a period of time after the marriage, the couple were very loving, but it was a pity that the married woman followed her husband. Although she was reluctant to leave, Wang Chunmei still had to say goodbye to her family and embarked on the journey home with Zhu Dafu in tears.
Fortunately, on the way back home, Wang Chunmei was diagnosed with pregnancy. The couple was pleasantly surprised, and the sadness of parting also faded a lot.
Not long after Zhu Yuanyu was born, Zhu Dafu received a letter from the capital, saying that his grandfather Wang Dafu had returned home from his official career, and that his uncle Wang Guangli was serving as the Minister of Justice. He also congratulated Zhu Dafu on the birth of his child.
Now that sixteen years have passed, Zhu Yuanyu has grown up, and it is time to consider his son's future and life-long events.
One thing Zhu Dafu didn't tell Zhu Yuanyu was that he went there this time with the intention of choosing a wife for Zhu Yuanyu. Zhu Dafu, a woman from the countryside, really looked down on her and felt that she was not worthy of his precious son.
****
Zhu Dafu gave the order, and his subordinates carried it out quickly. When they thought that they could follow the family leader to the capital to see more, everyone became more active. People who were born and raised here may not have the opportunity to leave and live in the capital in their lifetime.
Zhu Yuanyu is the master, and he has servants to help him take care of everything. Knowing that nothing would happen without him, he decided to go out for a walk.
Zhu Yuanyu was also very busy, otherwise he would not stay at home in this hot weather, but would go out to bask in the sun.
Wang Chunmei has been experiencing a bitter summer. She has been feeling tired and weak these past few days, has lost her appetite, and has lost a lot of weight.
Zhu Dafu didn't mention it, but he was anxious in his heart. The doctors even drove away some of them.
Zhu Yuanyu also felt uncomfortable. He vaguely remembered an ancient book he picked up and read in the study recently. It recorded some strange things. He remembered that it mentioned that there is a rare treasure in the world. The wearer can keep warm in winter and cool in summer, and prolong life. .
However, this treasure is rare and cannot be owned by ordinary people.
This time Zhu Yuanyu went out in the scorching sun for this treasure.
Based on the vague clues mentioned in ancient books, Zhu Yuanyu analyzed that since the baby was born and raised, it is likely to be in the deep mountains and wild forests not far from Zhu's house.
But to be sure, you still have to take a trip to find out.
Zhu Yuanyu only brought Li Zhuangzhuang with him.
Li Zhuangzhuang was holding an umbrella and hunched over to protect Zhu Yuanyu from the sun. He had a green backpack hanging on his body, which contained some dry food and two drinking water bottles.
These were Zhu Yuanyu's orders, because he was not sure whether he could rush home that day. If not, he would have to spend the night in the deep mountains and wild forests.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't explain too much to Zhu Dafu. He only said that he would take Li Zhuangzhuang out for some fun before going to Beijing. He might not come back on the same day, so he and Wang Chunmei didn't have to worry.
At the same time, he also refused the escort arranged by Zhu Dafu. He did not want too many people to know about it.
In this way, the two of them walked to the wild forest.
Xiao Zhu Yuanyu knew that he was different from other people. In the world in his eyes, in addition to the colors of nature, he could also see the halos scattered by objects. According to these halos, he could even see those things if he wanted to. He thought monsters and ghosts existed only in books.
What happened last time was that he used his power to make Mrs. Li appear in the court as a ghost.
Being able to communicate with ghosts would make normal people timid when they meet them. But Zhu Yuanyu was not afraid at all. He had long been accustomed to it in the previous world. His power could not only restrain ghosts and make them obey his orders, but also destroy them.
In view of the fact that these monsters and monsters are the same kind of existence, Zhu Yuanyu has never looked down upon them. Instead, he feels that they are the same as humans, just living in this world.
So far, Zhu Yuanyu has only killed an evil ghost once.
The evil ghost was a heinous gangster in life, and he would hurt innocent people after death. Zhu Yuanyu met him and had to eliminate him.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanyu also asked himself, if he encountered this kind of situation again, would he kill the evil ghost like this?
Zhu Yuanyu thought for a long time, and the final answer was: yes.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't think that what he did was cruel. When he thought of the countless innocent souls who died at the hands of that evil spirit, he only regretted that he had not met him earlier. In this way, fewer people would have died in vain, and their relatives would not have to live. In pain.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't know how he got his abilities and when he disappeared again. Now he just wanted to use this mysterious power to find the treasure so that Wang Chunmei could live comfortably every summer in the future.
"Let's go. Let's go in."
Zhu Yuanyu unbuttoned his outer robe, revealing the powerful outfit underneath.
"Master, are you thirsty? Do you need some water?"
Li Zhuangzhuang put away his umbrella, took Zhu Yuanyu's robe, wrapped it up and stuffed it into his backpack, rummaged through it again, took out a kettle and caught up with Zhu Yuanyu.
"Yeah." Zhu Yuanyu absentmindedly picked up the kettle and took a sip before returning it to Li Zhuangzhuang.
Li Zhuangzhuang took out his handkerchief and wiped Zhu Yuanyu's sweat.
Zhu Yuanyu saw that it was his own veil and left it to him.
What a good young man with twenty-four filial piety.
There are wild roads carved by people in the wild forest, probably by hunters who go into the mountains to hunt.
Zhu Yuanyu followed the road, and Li Zhuangzhuang followed step by step.
Wild finches were calling in the woods, and from time to time a gray-brown hare would pop out of the grass.
When Li Zhuangzhuang saw it, he would always ask: "Master, do you want to eat rabbit? I know how to hunt." After that, he touched the bow and arrow behind his back with his backhand.
Zhu Yuanyu smiled and said that it was not needed for the time being.
Li Zhuangzhuang became honest.
The two walked quickly, and after walking for a while, Zhu Yuanyu judged that they had entered the depths based on the growth of the trees.
Zhu Yuanyu stopped, not because he was tired, but because someone was moving quickly in their direction.
Li Zhuangzhuang also realized something was wrong. He stayed close to Zhu Yuanyu, drew his bow and arrow, and looked alert.
After a while, a group of people appeared in Zhu Yuanyu's sight.
The three men were dressed as hunters and were running in a panic.
When he saw Zhu Yuanyu and the other two, he shouted loudly: "Run!"
Zhu Yuanyu squinted his eyes.
"It's a black bear!" Li Zhuangzhuang's eyes widened.
Among the three people who were running desperately, one of them saw Zhu Yuanyu and the two standing still, thinking that they were scared to death, and secretly screamed that it was bad, and when they passed by, he wanted to pull them so that they could escape together.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanyu and the other two were standing steadily, but he himself fell down due to the force of the recoil.
When he looked up, he saw that the black bear was already approaching, and his two companions had also left him and fled away.
The ruthless back image of his companion is laughing at his own stupidity.
Obviously before coming out, his mother-in-law told him that those two companions were not good birds and would fly separately when disaster struck, so she told him not to pay attention to them.
He deserved it, but he didn't take it seriously. Now that he was about to die, those two people must be grateful that they had to defend themselves against the black bear, so as to give them time to escape!
I also blame myself for being so kind-hearted. I was usually scolded by my mother-in-law for being a bad person. Now I have to rescue others even if I run away. It is hopeless and I deserve to die.
Zhu Tian closed his eyes with a bitter look on his face, waiting for the coming pain.
Huh? Why doesn't it hurt?
Zhu Tian opened his eyes and was stunned.
Also stunned was Li Zhuangzhuang.
Li Zhuangzhuang originally wanted to pull the young master to escape, but he didn't expect the young master to move, so he pulled up his bow and arrow, thinking that no matter what happened, he would try his best to protect the young master. Who knew he would encounter such a strange situation.
Now I saw Zhu Yuanyu standing calmly, and in front of him was a black bear leaning down!
What a hell!
