Before the sun officially set, Pei Wende and Zhang Butcher returned to Zhangjiacun.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance and before entering, they saw the stubborn old man sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and Aunt Zhang standing on the road to the countryside and looking around.
Especially Aunt Zhang, who has been pacing back and forth at the entrance of the village anxiously because she is worried about her son's condition.
Only occasionally would I sit under the tree for a while with the encouragement of the stubborn old man to comfort myself and relieve my uneasy mood.
So when Aunt Zhang saw the figures of Butcher Zhang and Pei Wende at the end of the rural road, she could no longer suppress her inner worries and ran up immediately.
"Haha, Chu Sheng's illness has been cured!"
Seeing this, Butcher Zhang also opened his arms and ran towards his wife, and then picked her up the moment he approached her.
This unexpected dog food not only made Pei Wende behind him feel sour in his teeth, but even the stubborn old man sitting under the big tree in front couldn't bear to look at it.
Although the Tang Dynasty was a relatively open dynasty in Chinese history, it was still a feudal dynasty that governed the country based on feudal ethics.
Such a move like picking up his wife in public is probably only possible by Zhang Butcher, a rough guy who doesn't care about feudal ethics.
At the very least, Aunt Zhang no longer had the worries and uneasiness she had before. Instead, she looked shy and dared to bury her head in her husband's chest.

"This mouthful of dog food really caught people off guard."
After briefly complaining about Butcher Zhang's "dissolute" behavior, Pei Wende walked past the couple who were still chatting quietly and walked to the stubborn old man under the big tree.
"Old man, long time no see."
Gently raising his eyelids, the old man seemed not surprised at all by Pei Wende's appearance, but showed his acrimonious side as always.
"Long time no see, no need to talk. The old man has not forgotten the last time you destroyed the wall of my house."
Hearing what the stubborn old man said, Pei Wende also scratched his head in embarrassment.
Thinking about it now, Pei Wende was indeed reckless when he thought that the mandrill was hiding in the stubborn old man's house based on mere speculation, forcing the Civet Mountain brothers who had been hiding their identities to be exposed.
"Anyway, I have to thank the old man this time."
"If it weren't for your three sons, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to rescue Chu Sheng so quickly."
Hearing this, the stubborn old man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was not surprised at all that his three sons secretly followed Butcher Zhang and his son up the mountain.
"That's what those three bastards did themselves. What does it have to do with me?"
He said so, but after learning the news about the three civet brothers from Pei Wende, the old man still breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sincere feeling of relief.
The three gangsters who once only knew how to make trouble have finally grown up and become "people" who can truly help others.
I think that after knowing the changes in the three civet brothers, my wife who is under the influence of Jiuquan will feel more relieved, and I will have the face to see her.
"Speaking of which, why didn't those three bastards follow you down the mountain?"
After a brief hesitation, the stubborn old man mentioned it casually, which made Butcher Zhang and his wife who had finished chatting next to him laugh.
"The old man is still soft-spoken and soft-hearted after all."
As soon as Butcher Zhang said these words, the stubborn old man immediately glared at him.
But just like what Butcher Zhang said, although the stubborn old man showed a stubborn and mean look, he did not deny the problem he just had.
"Don't worry, old man, those three brothers are doing very well now."
"They are following my senior brother now. I believe that my senior brother will teach them well."
"Although Chu Sheng's illness has recovered, he will be recuperating in Tongqing Temple for a long time."
"Those three brothers can also accompany him to relieve his boredom at Tongqing Temple..."
"Of course, if you need them to come down the mountain, I will ask them to come and see you when I go back tomorrow."
After listening to Pei Wende's explanation, the stubborn old man finally felt relieved, but he still retorted very harshly.
“What do I need them to see?”
"What else can those three bastards do at home besides making me angry every day?"
"Since Master Huiji has taken a liking to them this time, let the three of them study honestly in the temple for a period of time, which will also allow me to be quiet for a period of time."
After saying that, the stubborn old man changed the topic very abruptly, as if he was afraid that the topic would continue.
"You, a young man, why did you come down the mountain?"
Although it was a forced change of topic, this was indeed a question in the stubborn old man's mind.
Although Pei Wende said that he went down the mountain a lot, there were serious things to do every time he went down the mountain.
The stubborn old man didn't believe that Pei Wende's appearance here was just a coincidence.
Thinking of Zhang Chusheng's sudden illness, the stubborn old man with rich experience probably had a rough guess as to the purpose of Pei Wende's visit.
Pei Wende's next words were indeed as expected, proving the stubborn old man's disturbing speculation.
"Chu Sheng is not sick, he is cursed by witchcraft."
Pei Wende, who had no intention of hiding this from the villagers from the beginning, said this.
Behind him, Butcher Zhang, who was softly comforting Aunt Zhang, nodded and confirmed Pei Wende's statement.
"Although the curse on Chu Sheng has been cracked, the witch who cast the spell has not been caught yet."
"With her retributive and ruthless character, it is very likely that she will cast a curse on other people in the village again, so I am here to prevent this future trouble."
The understatement revealed a strong determination, and Pei Wende didn't know how possible his guess was.
But even if there was only one ten thousandth chance, he would never let the old woman hurt someone again under his nose.
"curse?"
This time the stubborn old man was really frightened.
Even Aunt Zhang beside her couldn't care less about her shyness and looked up at her husband in astonishment.
"Chu Sheng...is he cursed?"
Facing his wife's confused and frightened gaze, Butcher Zhang just nodded with a heavy face, but did not deny Pei Wende's words.
"Yes, that's why Wende went down the mountain."
"We are worried that besides Chu Sheng, there are other people in the village who are also targeted by that Wu Zhu."
