Chapter 655

A small tornado was burned out by paper money. Just as everyone stubbornly thought that the deceased had appeared, an old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him. Xiao and Xu Jin were shocked.

Everyone looked in the sound, but saw a gray-haired old man in gray. At some point, he was standing under the shadow of a wild tree, leaning on a crutch, and looking at everyone with his turbid eyes. The old face with a ravine was a bit gloomy under the shadow.

Han Dajie, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, couldn't help but make a sudden blow, swallowed with difficulty and shouted: "Are you an old man or a ghost? It's wrong to run out in broad daylight to scare people."

The old man walked out of the shade of the tree with a crutch, frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why do you pay homage to the tombs of Mao A-san and his wife?"

Chuchun and Chuxia looked at each other, quickly wiped away their tears and stood up anxiously, "Old man, do you know our father Mao A San?"

The old man said coldly: "I have grown up with Sanyizi, why don't I know him? Wait... Little girl, did you just say Mao A San is your father?"

Chuxia nodded and said, "Yes, Mao A San is our father."

The old man showed a look of memory and said to himself: "Oh, I remembered that Sanyizi did have a pair of twin daughters, but later he was sold to a brothel by Wuyizi's bastard. Could it be that you are the daughters of Sanyizi?"

Chuchun and Chuxia's eyes turned red, and they nodded together and said, "Old man, we are those twin girls, the eldest and second sisters."

"Big sister and second sister... Yes, the three sons' daughters are indeed called Big sister and second sister. I'm sorry to see you, you have grown up so old, I am your second uncle!" The old man staggered forward with excitement.

Chuchun and Chuxia blurted out in surprise: "Second uncle!"

The old man leaned on a crutch and said sadly: "Poor kid, you were only seven or eight years old when you were sold. After so many years, you probably don't remember the old man, the second uncle."

Chu Xia sniffed and said, "I remember, but my second uncle looked much older, and we didn't recognize him for a while."

The old man felt: "It's almost eighty or nine years since I calculated carefully. I'm seventy-six years old this year. How can I not look old? But you two are getting older now. If you didn't listen to you, the second uncle wouldn't recognize you."

The old man said as he looked at Xu Jin beside him and tentatively said, "Is this young man your husband the two?"

Chuchun and Chuxia glanced at the master shyly. Xu Jin was squatting in front of the grave to help burn paper money, which was inevitable that people would misunderstand. Strictly speaking, it was not a misunderstanding. Now the two of them are indeed the master's room.

Xu Jin smiled and bowed, "I'm here to greet my second uncle!"

In early spring and early summer, they were both ashamed and happy. The master said this to him that he recognized their concubines and gave them enough face in front of his clan relatives.

The old man stroked his white beard and laughed: "Young Master Xu, don't be too polite. Big sister and second sister, you two girls are so lucky."

Xu Jin was young and handsome, with extraordinary temperament, and had many followers under his command. It was obvious that he was either rich or noble, so the old man didn't think it was wrong for the two sisters to marry a man together. After all, a birth like the eldest and second sisters was undoubtedly a blessing to marry into a wealthy family and be a concubine. It can be seen that Mr. Xu was very fond of the eldest and second sisters.

The second uncle obviously had read books, had a good conversation and clear thinking. After a few greetings with Xu Jin, he asked curiously: "How did you find this place? Even people from the clan know that there are very few people buried here by Mao A San and his wife."

Chuxia immediately replied: "Uncle Wu brought us here."

The old man frowned and said, "Uncle Wu, are you talking about Wuyizi Mao Dazhong?"

Chuchun nodded and said, "Yes... Uncle Wu, here is Uncle Wu, I was still here just now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Dajie, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, held a man out of the grass with a knife, and said with a smile: "Young master, as expected, this guy sneaked away just now, but fortunately he was stopped by his subordinates."

Chuchun Chuxia asked in surprise: "Uncle Wu, why are you running away?"

Mao Dazhong said with a sad face: "Brother, I'm not trying to slip away, I'm just going to get rid of my hand... Go and get rid of my hand. I have no eyes on the sword. Can I take the knife away first?"

Xu Jin waved his hand, Han Dajie put away the embroidered spring sword, but did not return to the sheath, but stood beside him and stared at him. Mao Dazhong knelt down in front of the old man, and knocked three times with a loud bang, saying, "My nephew Mao Dazhong kowtowed to the old patriarch to pay his respects."

The old man looked gloomy, raised his crutch and slammed his back hard on Maodazhong's back, cursing: "Bastard, you still have the face to come back. I beat you, a very pretty descendant who shamed his ancestors!"

The old man cursed and excitedly smashed Mao Dazhong two sticks. The latter held his head in both hands and kept begging for mercy. Seeing this, Chuchun and Chunxia hurried forward to plead.

The old man then put away his crutches and kept breathing, looking shaking. Chuchun Chuxia hurriedly supported him on both sides, Chuxia frowned and said, "Uncle Fifth, what did you do to make the second uncle so angry?"

Mao Dazhong looked embarrassed and said unspeakable. At this time, the old man became a little calmer and said politely to Xu Jin: "It makes Mr. Xu laugh, but as the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. Please forgive me for not explaining the inconvenience of the Central Plains.

Well, this place is not far from the village. Since Mr. Xu took his eldest and second sister back to his hometown to pay homage to his relatives, the relatives must see him. Today, why not stay in the village for a night. I hope Mr. Xu will not dislike us mountain villagers."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "The old patriarch is so arrogant. I'll be bothering you all night in Gui Village."

Chuchun and Chuxia were inexplicably surprised when they heard this, and their eyes looked at the master were full of gratitude and gentleness. The old man became more and more satisfied with Xu Jin and happily said three words "good".

"Second uncle, please help you!" Mao Dazhong stepped forward with a flattering face and supported the old man. The latter snorted coldly, but did not refuse.

Everyone packed up, drove the carriage and followed Lao Sou and Mao Dazhong. They quickly turned to a country road, followed the path for about several miles and reached a low hill.

I saw a small village hidden in the bushes below the hillside. A wall was built with bamboo and wood outside, and some thorny plants were planted to form a natural defensive belt. The back of the defensive belt was dozens of houses, but all of them were thatched houses.

The old man explained to Xu Jin as he walked: "Our original village has no danger to guard. It is close to the beach and is often plundered by Japanese pirates. The parents of the eldest and second sisters were killed by those Japanese pirates who should have killed thousands of swords.

That time the entire village was almost destroyed, many people died and many people were kidnapped. Later, we moved the village here, which was even more hidden. As long as there were no spies leading the way, Japanese pirates could not find them."

After saying that, the old man glared at Mao Dazhong, who hung his head and did not dare to say anything.

When everyone entered the village, some village women and children immediately surrounded him and looked at Xu Jin and others curiously. The old man waved and said, "Everyone is here, these are two girls from the Mao A San family. I took the man back to the village to visit the relatives, and I will come to meet you."

The villagers were immediately furious and surrounded them.

"I see you so pitifully. These are the two girls in Brother San's family. They look so beautiful."

"Tsk tsk, the girl is really changing. She looks like a fairy. Look at her skin so white and tender, I guess the daughter of our county master is not comparable to that of her daughter!"

"Big sister and second sister, your clothes are probably worth a lot of money. And this hairpin is not made of silver, right?"

"What a blessing, so a blessing!"

A group of village women surrounded the early spring and early summer in the middle, touched the place and touched it, and their eyes were full of envy and awe, while the children surrounded the carriage, with curiosity and awe.

The old man said a little embarrassedly: "Young Master Xu laughed. They are all rural people with shallow eyes and have never seen the world."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, I am also from a poor family, and I have experienced hard days of having a supper or not."

The old man couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Xu Jin was calm and elegant. When he thought he was a child of a noble family, he found out that he was from a poor family. He couldn't help but say solemnly: "Who is Mr. Xu?"

Xu Jin smiled and said, "I'm the next surname Xu and his name is Jin, and his name is Ziqian. He is from Xujia Village, Shangrao County, Jiangxi Province."

The old man's expression changed slightly and he said carefully: "Is Mr. Xu the only one who won the five-yuan Tanhua title in a row?"

Xu Jin couldn't help but be surprised. Unexpectedly, the old man in the countryside had heard of him, and nodded and said, "That's right!"

The old man was so excited that his beard trembled, and he knelt down on the ground and said, "Maojia Village clan leader Mao Zhigao greeted the imperial envoy!"

The old man's kneeling was amazing. The villagers were shocked to see this and knelt down and kowtowed. Several unknown villagers were scared to tears on the spot.

Xu Jin hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "The old patriarch is here to get up quickly, and it will be a disaster for the younger generation!"

The old man was extremely excited and was ordered to come to Maojia Village with the imperial envoy and became the son-in-law of Maojia Village. This was a great event and said anxiously: "Old Sixth Family, hurry up and call the men back to the salt farm, go quickly!"

The village woman immediately crawled over and ran out of the village with her legs scattered in Cairo. Xu Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry. She wanted to act in a low-key manner. After such a fuss, it was probably soon the entire Chongde County knew that he, the imperial envoy, had arrived.

Mao Zhigao obviously didn't care about this. After all, this was a big-faced matter, so he tapped Mao Dazhong and shouted: "Damn it, go and slaughter the pig in the village and entertain the imperial envoy!"
