When Zhu Huaigu returned to Zhu's house with Aunt Zhu and Pei Wende, a man and a woman were already standing at the door, staring at everyone with sullen expressions.
In other words, the woman looked sulky, but the man looked dull.
"Mom? Dad!"
The moment he saw the man and woman, Zhu Huaigu, who was still excited, suddenly stopped.
Because it was only then that he remembered that he had overheard the news of Aunt Zhu's return, and then secretly hid it from his parents and rushed to the entrance of the village to stop her.
"You brat, are you getting bolder and bolder now?"
Walking in front of Zhu Huaigu in three steps and two steps at a time, the woman picked up Zhu Huaigu's ears, and her voice sounded particularly stern.
"I remember I warned you not to sneak out of the house alone."
"Or do you also want to disappear inexplicably like your sister?"
While speaking, the woman's tears were already flowing down the corners of her eyes.
For a mother, there is nothing more despairing than having her daughter go missing and then something happen to her son.
"Mom, I'm fine, I know I was wrong."
Gently hugging his mother, Zhu Huaigu did not quibble, but comforted his mother in a low voice.
Since the fall of the Zhu family, Zhu Huaigu has watched with his own eyes how his mother has transformed from a noble lady to the peasant woman in the mountains today.
Zhu Huaigu knew very well how much his mother had sacrificed for himself and the family.
Therefore, most of the time, even if Zhu Huaigu was wronged, he rarely showed it in front of his mother.
"Fifth sister, you..."
After wiping her tears, the woman finally recovered from her previous fear and turned her eyes to Aunt Zhu behind Zhu Huaigu.
But the moment she saw Aunt Zhu and Pei Wende, the woman suddenly froze.
"Zen Master Fahai?"
Staring at Pei Wende blankly, the woman's eyes were full of surprise.
Of course, in addition to being surprised, Pei Wende seemed to feel a little relieved from the woman's words.
This is different from those who have seen him and the pilgrims. Their emotions may be excitement, happiness, or surprise, but they cannot feel at ease.
"you know me?"
Pei Wende couldn't help but touch his bald head. He also felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar.
"I met the Zen Master. Thanks to the Zen Master using the incarnation of King Kong to purge the demons in the city, I and Zhuojing are able to survive to this day."
After respectfully stepping forward and saluting, the man who had been standing behind the woman finally spoke at this time.
As the man finished speaking, Pei Wende finally remembered why he felt that the man and woman in front of him looked familiar.
When he was in Runzhou City, Pei Wende suppressed the evil spirits in the city with one hundred and seven angry-eyed Vajras.
Taking advantage of this gap, those humans who were lucky enough to recover or survive fled Runzhou City one after another, attracting a large number of robbers and bandits to take advantage of the situation.
Fortunately, Pei Wende had already spread his iron poison, and not only did the robbers and thieves fail to rob them, but they were killed one by one by the iron poison.
The man and woman now were one of the many people who were rescued by the Iron Gu.
And the reason why they left a deep impression on Pei Wende, and even feel familiar even now, is entirely because they behave very differently from ordinary people.
At that time, the man's expression was very dull, and his expression and movements seemed a bit sluggish.
I don’t know if he is born with a naturally stupid look, or if he is lagging due to long-term hunger.
Compared with the skinny man, although the woman is also sallow and thin, she barely retains some of her former energy and does not look so sluggish.
The most important thing is that this woman seems to be born with some kind of spiritual eye, able to see through Pei Wende's Bodhi Buddha light and see the true face of the one hundred and seven angry-eyed Vajra.
Therefore, this woman became one of the first people to know Pei Wende's true identity and connect her with Zen Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple.
"The layman's words are serious. The young monk is just doing what he should do within the scope of his ability."
Putting his hands together in front of his chest, Pei Wende bowed slightly and returned the gift.
"Just like this time, the young monk came to deal with the 'demon disaster' at the invitation of...well, the eldest sister."
When mentioning Aunt Zhu, because he didn't know how to address each other in front of the couple, Pei Wende could only vaguely choose to use the word "eldest sister" to fool her.
"Zen Master Gao Yi, the young lady and her family should fully cooperate."
There was no rejection or reluctance at all as Pei Wende imagined. The woman who took over her husband's words immediately replied.

Zhujiazhuang, inside the ancestral temple.
"Ancestors of all generations! The Zhu family finally fell into ruin in my hands!"
Mr. Zhu, who was close to blindness, leaned on the back of the door, sighing in a low voice with a sad face.
In the ancestral temple on the side, the ancestral tablets of the Zhu family are placed quietly on the altar, and you can vaguely feel the cool breeze blowing by.
"I want to be strong in this life, but in the end I don't even have a son to take care of me until I die."
"Even of my two daughters, one ran away from home and the other separated from me..."
"Have I, Boss Zhu, really been such a failure in my entire life?"
A few tears fell down his wrinkled cheeks. Mr. Zhu missed his wife especially now.
If his wife was still alive, wouldn't the relationship between him and his two daughters be so tense?
"Ahem..."
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhu, who was already in poor health, couldn't help coughing twice.
In fact, Mr. Zhu had long been starved due to the famine in the previous two years, and now he could clearly feel that his time was approaching.
"Mother-in-law, don't blame grandpa, all this is for the good of the Zhu family!"
Mr. Zhu, who felt a little chilled by the breeze, tightened his clothes before continuing.
"Even if the Zhu family is in dire straits, we will never allow any disobedient and unfilial people to appear."
However, as Mr. Zhu finished speaking, the breeze in the ancestral temple suddenly became stronger, and waves of cold air also poured out of the ancestral temple.
call!
The next second, all the incense candles in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet were extinguished, and only the afterglow of the setting sun still shone on half of Mr. Zhu's body.
On the other hand, Mr. Zhu showed a calm smile after seeing this scene.
"That's right. If you have any resentment, just direct it at Grandpa!"
Mr. Zhu, whose voice became increasingly softer, took one last look at the ancestral temple, and immediately lost his breath.
