It took a while for Xu Yue's family to come back to their senses.
"Are they thanking us for burying the bodies of their companions, so they sent us directly to Hejian County?" Xu Yue asked in disbelief.
Xu Da, whose mouth was full of dirt, could not give her an answer. Wang paused for a long time and nodded without understanding.
Xu Erniang spit out saliva mixed with mud and said bitterly: "I hate this way of thanking you!"
Xu Dalang silently nodded in agreement, he also hated such human beings.
Xu Yue: "..." What a magical day.
Wang Dayou's family of four were so frightened that they were still in a daze and didn't know what was going on.
It wasn't until Xu Da told the whole story that they realized that the general thought they were kind enough to bury the dead soldiers. In order to thank them for burying his comrades, the general directly sent people to take them around the area where bandits were rampant and took them away.
Sent to Hejian County.
After Wang Dayou heard this, he didn't quite understand the general's "overbearing" way of thanking him without saying a word, but he also knew that the crisis was safely passed.
Not only did he go there, he also skipped the most dangerous section of the road and came to Hejian County.
And all these changes were due to the fact that this group of soldiers did not find the things that the Xu family had looted, and this was the result of a strange combination of circumstances.
Otherwise... Wang Dayou couldn't help but shudder.
He had many doubts about the Xu family, but he didn't ask any questions.
He knew they had many secrets, and they didn't seem worried about being seen by him.
Because he has no choice at all!
Xu Da kills people like he kills chickens, he strikes quickly and accurately.
Wang seems to be lenient, but when he is cruel, he is more terrifying than Xu Da.
There is also Xu Dalang, who can scare away wolves and always beats people to death. Both Xu Dalang and his wife avoided this son, which shows how ferocious he is.
As for the Xu family sisters, they seem to be the most harmless at the moment, but who knows whether they are true or not?
Between life and death, Wang Dayou decisively chose to pretend to be confused.
He looked around and found smoke from cooking in front of him, and suggested: "There seems to be a village ahead. Let's stay here for one night?"
The Xu Yue family, who had wiped off the dirt on their faces, turned to look at him. To be honest, facing these five pairs of eyes all at once, Wang Dayou was a little nervous unconsciously.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang quickly smiled and nodded, "Let's go then."
"Hey!" Wang Dayou breathed a sigh of relief.
The two families rushed to the small village, spent some money, and each stayed in a farmer's home.
The Xu family is an old couple. Two years ago there was a disaster, and their two sons were beaten to death trying to protect the family's food. Now they are struggling to survive with their three young grandchildren.
Seeing that the Xu family had paid for the accommodation, they received them warmly. The house was not big, with only two rooms, so they had to make room for the guests.
Xu Da made dinner in the yard. He cooked millet porridge, added wild vegetables and salt, and it was very fragrant.
It is difficult for the old couple to feed themselves, and they also have to raise three grandchildren. On weekdays, they eat only wild vegetable dumplings and dry rice bran rice balls. How can the three children not be greedy when they suddenly smell this fragrant millet porridge?
They stood on the door frame and stared at the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters, sucking their saliva.
But along the way, Xu Yue's heart hardened. Bringing dinner to the house and eating it quickly was her greatest kindness to the three little babies.
The ancients had no entertainment at night and took rest as soon as it got dark.
The old couple called their grandson back, and Xu Da also packed up the pots and pans and went into the house and closed the door.
The old couple couldn't afford to use an oil lamp at home, and the room was dark with only a dim light from the moon.
The room was simple, with a straw mat spread on the floor.
Wang and Xu Da took out their own bedding and spread it out, and the five members of the family crowded together and covered themselves with the same bedding.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and it's even cooler at night. It's a bit crowded, but it's warm enough.
Xu Yue was lying in the middle, with her sister in front of her and Xu Dalang like a stove behind her.
Behind Xu Dalang was his father, and behind his sister was his mother-in-law. The couple put the children in the middle, and almost half of their bodies were outside the quilt.
Maybe it's too early and the whole family can't sleep.
Wang looked at Xu Da from a distance across the three children, and asked curiously: "Your father was really a soldier before?"
Xu Da was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Wang was asking about what he had just done to deceive the general, and he said funnyly:
"It's nothing. My father is an honest farmer. However, there seems to be a cousin in my grandfather's generation who had some success, but he moved away long ago and didn't say anything about helping his brothers."
Otherwise, he would have had many promising grandfathers and two second-generation fathers, so why would he have to suffer like this again!
Mrs. Wang snorted, "It's really like that. I almost believed it."
Xu Da seemed unable to hear the sarcasm in these words, and raised his eyebrows in disbelief, "Where are you going? I think back when I was fighting with the heroes, you and I don't know where to feed~"
"Are you sure?" Mrs. Wang raised her lips and thought, "I have lived for more than a hundred years."
Unexpectedly, Xu Da responded with certainty: "Of course, I dare not say anything else, but there should be no one older than me in our family."
Xu Yue suddenly became interested, raised her little head and asked curiously: "Dad, how old were you originally?"
Xu Da suddenly fell silent, realizing that he was too proud and almost revealed his story.
He coughed twice and scolded: "Go to bed quickly. Children won't grow taller if they sleep so late."
Xu Yue: "..."
There was an eerie silence in the room for a while, and then Wang's voice sounded again.
"Why did you bury the body in that field to the east before?"
Xu Da said casually: "With good Feng Shui, if you want to take people's money, you have to choose a good place for them..."
"Wait!" He suddenly sat up, as if he thought of something, and slapped his thigh fiercely, "Feng Shui treasure points, Feng Shui treasure points! How did I just think of it!"
What do you think of? I am so excited.
The mother and son looked over in confusion.
Xu Da took a deep breath to calm down his excitement, his eyes were as bright as big light bulbs, and he mysteriously said two words, "Touch-gold!"
"Touch gold?" Wang frowned, looked at Xu Yue and asked, "My dear, have you put those things away?"
Xu Yue nodded. She kept everything she touched from the dead in the laboratory.
Wang felt relieved immediately, and then warned Xu Da: "This is the foundation of our family's livelihood. If you dare to use these things to do improper things, I will shoot you to death!"
When Xu Da heard this, he realized that he had mistakenly thought that he was going to gamble with money!
Of course, Young Master Xu is also a good player in the casino, but that is not the focus now.
It’s that the road to wealth is right in front of him, but he had ignored it before!
