Goethe... no, it was the deep part of Zhao Wumian's soul that was trembling.
He, Zhao Wumian, wants to go home.
The moment this thought arises.
Everything becomes different.
Everything became unstoppable.
Above his heart, a [Picture and Compound Language] appeared that should be beyond his awareness, but he happened to know the meaning of these words.
The first unfamiliar [Pictures].
The second one, the third one.
appear in sequence.
If no one appears, it is a baptism.
When it appears three times, a brand new profession appears.
[Returners. Wanderers]!
The familiar words did not appear before Goethe's eyes.
All we have is the notification from the seasonal movement of the soul——
The thread in a loving mother's hand, the clothes on a wanderer's body.
The mind, skills, and body increase comprehensively, and the additional specialty [You Ziyi] appears.
And this is not the end.
When the first level [Returner. Wanderer] appears, after it is perfected, he will be directly promoted to [Returner. Fighting]!
I hope you will have wings and transform into a northern sea fish.
Leaving my mother and my hometown, all that is left is hard work!
Mind, skill, and body increase comprehensively again, and the additional specialty [Blooming] appears.
The second level promotion is completed and the third level begins.
【Returners. Success】!
The spring breeze is proud of the horses' hooves, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
If you work hard and succeed, you will be proud of yourself.
The mind, skills, and body are all growing again, and the additional specialty [Female Marquis] appears.
The third level is completed and you go straight to the legend.
【Returners. Homesickness】!
I can't bear to climb high and look far away, looking at the dimness of my hometown, and thinking about it hard to remember.
Mind, skill, and body have once again comprehensively increased, and the additional specialty [Wandering] appears.
One breath, legend.
Even though Goethe's strength far exceeded the legend, the appearance of a large amount of information still made him breathless.
Without saying hello to the people around him, Goethe quickly returned to the back of the village.
He not only needs to adapt to his current body, but also needs to sort out the knowledge he just learned, summarize it into rituals, and understand his expertise.
In the evening, it snowed again.
But, not big.
"Ha, auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!"
Lao Li spoke the few idioms he knew.
The sixth aunt and other aunts on the side had finished their own chores and came over to help.
Of course, I didn’t come empty-handed, but I brought something with me.
There are both tables, chairs, benches and bowls for eating.
Although Lao Li's family is wealthy, they don't have anyone who can entertain the whole village.
Every time there is a banquet or something, everyone gathers together.
Even though Lao Li became rich, this habit did not change.
It’s just that my food has gotten a lot better.
There are everything from big elbows to smoked chicken and fish.
What about before?
It would be great to see a little bit of meat.
As for being close to the mountains and forests, there is no shortage of meat?
Meat must be exchanged for grain.
Mountain products have to be exchanged for grain.
Otherwise, if something happens, the family will be broken up.
"Brother Li, how do you do this elbow?"
Aunt Six asked as the representative of the aunts.
Aunt Six has the unique height of a woman from the black land, and her body is even thicker. Usually when the men in the family go out, Aunt Six will greet them, and one woman can support two men.
Not a metaphor...
It's true.
A few years ago, when wolves entered the village and all the men went into the mountains, and the remaining people were left without a master, it was Aunt Six who chopped up the two wolves with a kitchen knife and sewed wolf skin coats on her men and children.
.
"I soaked the mushrooms and stewed them directly."
Lao Li pointed to the kitchen.
The elbow is also a semi-finished product bought in the city earlier. Not only has it been drained, but it has also been oiled. The skin is red and golden. Generally, it can be steamed in a basket for twenty minutes.
But, not today.
There are so many people today that eating meat alone is not enough for one table.
You have to have some soup, and you have to have some other things.
Sea cucumber is naturally the first choice.
But Lao Li didn't.
Then use mushroom.
As for delicacies from mountains and seas, there is no latter, maybe the former.
"Okay, Brother Li, please take a look!"
Aunt Six took the women in the village into action.
They are all good managers of the house, so naturally they don't need to be watched.
Moreover, Lao Li didn't want to mix in a bunch of old women, so he squatted at the entrance of the village with his pipe and pot.
"The shopkeeper's."
The two people guarding the entrance to the village were both from Lijiatun and Lao Li's associates.
The two men carried knives at their waists and long firearms on their backs.
There were four other men on the two turrets where the guns were placed.
Although as soon as winter comes, it’s time for all the gangsters to go into winter, and they shouldn’t go down the mountain to cause trouble.
But no one can guarantee 100%, you can only pay attention to yourself.
"Be smart at night."
"Tomorrow morning when your shift changes, go to my place to get a drink."
Lao Li instructed.
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Several young people laughed.
Their guard duty is in shifts, usually divided into the first half of the night and the second half of the night, and then the twenty or so men are divided into four shifts.
It's the New Year today, so it's their turn.
On New Year's Eve, it's someone else's turn.
No one can complain.
He was drawn by lot, who should he blame?
See your luck.
But now, it is a normal rotation, but there are rewards, so it is naturally different.
Feeling the guys' happiness, Lao Li was also happy.
He was also young.
Naturally, we know what young people want.
Wine, women and respect.
Woman, he is an old bachelor, so there is really nothing he can do.
Wine and respect, he gave.
"Chang Hai has reached his age. After the Chinese New Year, he has to find a wife as soon as possible. He has to spread the branches and leaves of my old Li family. In the last three years, he will have two children, and in five years, he will have three wives. If he is rich, he will also have to upgrade his schedule."
Lao Li stood in the light snow, smoking a dry cigarette, and his heart was burning.
Why?
There is hope.
In the past, how could Lao Li be so leisurely? He had to wonder where the stuffing for New Year's Eve dumplings came from.
Tread, tap!
After a thin layer of snow accumulated, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the dirt road in front of the village.
Lao Li knocked the ashes from his cigarette and looked at it with a smile.
His two sons came back with six jars of wine.
Each wine jar weighs twenty kilograms. If it weren't for two horses, there would be no way to bring it back.
"Dad only made sorghum wine and didn't cook the sweet potatoes."
"Okay, go and put the wine away, and then you and Fugui go and invite your uncles."
"It's almost time. Come with me to invite Mr. Mo."…
Lao Li ordered his two sons.
When all the heads of the families in the village were heading towards Lao Li's house, Lao Li came to the back of the village with his two sons. Unlike just now, when he was at ease, Lao Li was a little uneasy at this time.
First of all, Mr. Mo is very patient.
Secondly, Lao Li knew that Mr. Mo didn't like to join in the fun.
Bang, bang!
Click the door knocker lightly.
"Mr. Mo, everyone in the village is going to get together tonight, do you want to come?"
Lao Li asked tentatively.
Deep down in his heart, Lao Li was already prepared to be rejected.
Unexpectedly, the door opened directly.
Mr. Mo stood inside and nodded slightly.
"go."
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, then became overjoyed.
Without Mr. Mo, the banquet would still be held in the evening, but with Mr. Mo here, the banquet would be even more lively.
"Chang Hai, go help Mr. Mo, let's go."
Lao Li called to his son.
"I'm not old enough, so there's no need."
Goethe waved his hand, went out by himself, turned around and closed the door behind him.
No need to lock it, the village is full of people and nothing can be lost.
No matter how naughty the child is, it is impossible for him to break in. If it is found out, the parents do not need to ask, the parents of the child will have to break the naughty child's legs, and then send things and people to the door, waiting for the owner to deal with it.
.
It's different from other places.
People in the black land are inherently straightforward and good-natured. In addition, everyone in the village helps each other. Once something happens, they help cover it up.
That would be the end of it.
Once it comes and goes, people's hearts will surely disperse.
People's hearts are scattered.
The village will be gone.
The village is gone and everyone has to follow suit.
"Mr. Mo, are you happy?"
Lao Li looked at Goethe and blinked.
After practicing in the city for more than ten years, Lao Li has perfected his eyes.
He clearly felt that Mr. Mo was different from before.
In the past, I was always cold, that kind of polite but distant feeling.
Now?
Although still polite, there is a hint of easygoingness.
"That's right."
"Want to understand something."
Goethe responded with a smile.
Lao Li didn't ask any more questions, and the four of them just walked towards Lao Li's house.
When the gentlemen who were originally sitting at three large tables put together saw Mr. Mo coming, they all stood up and greeted each one.
A capable person is respected everywhere.
Not to mention such great ability.
Kill a wild boar that big with one slap.
The big insect and the blind bear were also beaten to death casually.
If they hadn't known that this was Mr. Mo, everyone would have regarded him as a god.
In fact, many people regard Goethe as the reincarnation of a god.
Otherwise, how could he be so capable?
"Brother Li, serve the food?"
Aunt Six raised the cotton curtain and asked.
“Serve!”
As soon as Lao Li said hello, the sixth aunt and the aunts brought the cold dishes first.
Peanuts, cucumbers, tomatoes mixed with sugar, pig ears, pig head meat, and cut pig trotters in sauce.
After placing the plates one by one, the wine jar was opened and bowls of wine began to be poured.
As soon as the wine was filled, Lao Li stood up as the host and took the first sip...
This is also considered a rule.
Usually you have to say a few words.
However, Lao Li doesn't talk so much nonsense. He has already eaten, and he still talks nonsense. This must not make people hate him.
So, I picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"Everyone has a good meal and a good drink."
One sentence and it's all done.
When the host moved, the guests moved too, and the hot dishes followed.
In addition to these twelve discs, there are two more items.
Braised pork elbows with mountain delicacies and braised large meatballs.
Fourteen dishes are called twelve dishes in the black land, two pieces.
Especially two items, they are really tough dishes.
Put it in a copper pot or simply put it in a pot and fire.
As soon as the charcoal fire is turned on, it is steaming, making people feel very comfortable in the wind and snow.
The dishes are ready.
Eat, of course, eat.
But there is still a link.
I saw a few gentlemen taking a few mouthfuls and standing up with their wine bowls in hand.
Toast!
There is food and wine, so how can we not toast?
Especially the hunters in Lijiatun are all fond of wine.
The first person to toast must be the host.
Ordinary people would be scared when seeing this posture, but Lao Li didn't give in. He filled up the wine directly and waited for these few.
We are all our own people, who doesn’t know who else’s drinking capacity?
"Old Li, you are the master today, so you should be respected first, but Mr. Mo is here, so we have to respect Mr. Mo first, everyone said, right?"
"right!"
As soon as the tall and thin leader said this, the people around him started cheering.
Lao Li first took a look at Goethe and found that Goethe was not angry. Instead, he picked up the wine bowl and immediately felt relieved.
"Lao Liu, it belongs to you, Wu Liu'er."
Lao Li rolled his eyes deliberately.
Lao Liu, the man of the sixth aunt, went to private school in his early years, but encountered a disaster year, his father was gone at home, and his mother was bedridden all year round, so he had no choice but to follow the hunters into the mountains.
He endured hardships, but he was also filial and considerate.
He is the person with the highest reputation in Lijiatun, besides Lao Li.
He also has the best relationship with Lao Li.
Worked part-time as the accounting clerk of an old Li shop in the city.
"Hahaha."
Lao Liu ignored Lao Li, picked up the bowl with a smile and walked to Goethe.
"Mr. Mo, on behalf of everyone in Lijiatun, I respect you."
"Without you, there would have been trouble in the village that day."
Lao Liu was also straightforward and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, without waiting for Goethe to speak, he filled it again, another bowl.
Three bowls in a row.
Although it is not a sea bowl, each bowl contains three ounces of wine.
After three bowls, it is almost a pound.
Lao Liu's face immediately turned red and his steps staggered a little.
However, seeing Goethe finish the bowl without saying a word, he immediately started laughing and was about to pour the wine again, but was stopped by Lao Li.
"What's wrong, you're addicted to free wine?"
"You've finished toasting Mr. Mo, and now it's my turn as the head of the household."
Lao Li laughed and cursed.
Lao Li was afraid that Lao Liu had drunk too much.
Everyone around knew it and laughed.
Lao Liu also understood that he was drinking a little too hard and was already drunk. If he drinks any more, he will really get drunk...
However, you can't admit defeat verbally.
"I'll just drink! Just drink!"
While shouting, Lao Liu didn't really drink. He just filled up his glass and returned to his seat with the wine in hand.
The people around looked at him, but they didn't criticize him. Instead, they stood up and toasted to Goethe.
Lao Liu made a sample, Lao Li also had three bowls, and Goethe immediately returned three bowls.
Moreover, he poured two more bowls and bowed to Lao Liu from afar.
Seeing Goethe toasting to him from a distance, Lao Liu didn't care, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it.
Lao Liu didn't know what happened next.
I just heard from my mother-in-law that Mr. Mo treats everyone equally and drinks as much wine as he wants.
"Mr. Mo, you are truly a god!"
Lao Liu sighed.
Snap!
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped on the back by her mother-in-law.
"You talk so nicely, but why are you taking action?"
Lao Liuyi shrunk his neck, fully reflecting the authentic attitude of a black land gentleman facing his wife.
"Who did it? You're so old, you can't walk after seeing cat urine. My sisters and I have been busy all afternoon, but you guys are here. We haven't eaten much, and we've all drank too much."
"I vomited in the village in the middle of the night and rolled around without saying anything."
"If Mr. Mo hadn't stopped us, we would have asked you to sober up last night."
Aunt Six glared, and Lao Liu shrank his neck again.
It's my fault, I don't care about this.
Of course it makes sense, but I dare not say anything.
"Get up and wash up quickly. My sisters and I packed up so many good things yesterday. After eating, we will take the baby with us to the city."
Aunt Six urged.
"What are you doing in the city?"
The hungover Lao Liu reacts a little slowly.
"Buy some more meat and vegetables. We ate at Brother Li's house last New Year's Eve. Logically speaking, we have to go to Brother Li's house on New Year's Eve as well. What's wrong, you're not taking advantage of it enough. Why don't you go empty-handed on New Year's Eve?"
When Aunt Six said this, Lao Liu burst out laughing.
Get dressed and eat.
Before leaving the house, Aunt Six warned me again.
"Don't buy sweets for your baby, it's bad for your teeth."
"knew."
Lao Liu said and took his baby out the door.
As soon as Lao Liu went out, he saw that the men in the village were all the same.
They all walked to the city with their children.
Obviously they all want to go together.
Then what else is there to say.
Let's go together.
Goethe stood on the roof of his house, silently watching this scene, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Just as his 'heart' guides him.
He once again felt like 'home'.
And his power has increased again, and the four specialties of [Returner] he has obtained, [Wandering Clothes], [Blooming Hair], [Female Marquis], and [Wandering], are completely clear.
