Chapter 829 Nothing to do in Chang'an

The man's name was Tao Quan, a top hunter in Laohuai Village. He used to be of great stature, and many children had swung on his arms when they were young.

But although the man is still strong now, he is missing one of his arms, his face is clearly haggard, and his temples are gray.

Looking at Su Changan now, the man's lips trembled, especially after hearing Su Changan nod, he slowly raised one hand and touched the birthmark on Su Changan's face, "Little Changan"

The man was a little bit unbelievable, but when he looked at Su Changan, his eyes were red, and then he suddenly laughed: "You are still alive, you are still alive"

Tears suddenly flowed down the man's face, and the hand was on the side of Su Changan's face. His eyes were sad, but the corners of his mouth were curved with joy: "You are still alive, alive"

When the little girl saw her father crying, she got up from the ground and hugged her father's legs.

Su Changan nodded: "Uncle, he is still alive."

The man grinned, but the next moment, he sobbed and wiped away his tears. Then he took Su Changan's hand and said, "Let's go and see my mother. She keeps talking about you and your family."

When he said this, the man paused and looked at Xia Fengxiang, Yan Ruyu and Maomao behind Su Changan, then looked at Su Changan: "My sister-in-law and Ping An..."

Su Changan smiled and looked back at the two jars in Xia Fengxiang's arms.

The jar contains ashes.

On the way back, he went to the bandit's den where his brother was buried, dug out the bones and burned them.

I went to the place where my mother was buried, cremated her body, and took the ashes with me.

Xia Fengxiang pulled down the bundle, revealing the shape of a jar.

Tao Quan understood it all at once. He stared at the jar for a moment, then turned his head to look at Su Changan: "It's okay! Go home. Uncle and your grandmother Xu are here. It's okay! Go home!"

The man squeezed Su Changan's wrist, looked at the two jars again, and his eyes turned red again.

But then she sobbed again, held back her tears, and dragged Su Changan towards the village, shouting, "Mom! Old Zhang, Aunt Liu!"

Tao Quan continued to shout: "Changan is back! The second kid from the Su family is back! He's still alive!"

Su Changan glanced at Tao Quan's profile and smiled lightly, but looking at the hideous wound on the man's neck, he knew it must have been left when the man and his father stayed behind to fight against the Mobei people.

Tao Quan kept shouting, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally looked at his daughter: "Girl, go tell grandma and the others that your brother Changan is back, go quickly!"

The little girl named Nuanhua was stunned.

But Tao Quan knew that his daughter was traumatized by seeing her mother being killed, and her mind was not in good shape, so he patiently said, "Just go and call your grandmother and others over."

Nuanhua finally understood and immediately trotted towards the village.

Su Changan looked at Tao Quan and said, "Uncle Tao, there's no need to mobilize so many troops. I'll just come back to see you guys."

Tao Quan immediately said, "What do you mean by mobilizing a large army? Every old man in our Laohuaishu Village is a family member. It's a big deal if one of them comes back. You've been sick since you were young, and you were even sicker when you escaped. Moreover..."

At this point, Tao Quan paused, but then said: "I'll tell you about this later. Let's not talk about this for now. The people in the village just happened to get together to celebrate today. Later, the Su family came and lived in our Laohuai Village. The eldest son of the Su family worked in a restaurant in Jizhou City. He ran back in the middle of the night last night and said that Zhang Jue, the son of a bitch, was dead. And there was also the Grandmaster Zhijing. The Grandmaster Zhijing of Mobei wanted to assassinate our Lord Du, but he was also caught. You came again today, which is double happiness. Old Zhang slaughtered a pig, which is just right. Later, uncle will kill an old hen for you and make you your favorite beggar's chicken."

Su Changan naturally guessed that the person being talked about was Su Budong.

But looking at Tao Quan, Su Changan smiled: "Well, okay!"

Tao Quan grinned, but looking at the two jars, his heart ached again. Then he looked at Su Changan and thought about how much hardship this kid had endured to survive.

Thinking of this, Tao Quan looked at Xia Fengxiang, Yan Ruyu and others, and only then did he realize what was happening.

Su Changan immediately said, "Uncle, this is my wife. This is our two sisters. I was almost dying that year, and they saved me."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Tao Quan: "Hello, Uncle Tao."

Tao Quan nodded quickly, then stared at Xia Fengxiang after a pause: "Did you save the second kid?"

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "I just happened to pass by and saw it."

Tao Quan pursed his lips, looked at Xia Fengxiang, and immediately bowed to Xia Fengxiang.

But before he could say anything, Su Changan immediately helped Tao Quan up. It was only because Xia Fengxiang had ashes in his arms, otherwise he would have stepped forward.

Tao Quan shook his head towards Su Changan, then looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Thank you. Thank you."

Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "Uncle Tao, you don't have to do this. I'm his wife, and I can't stand you doing this."

Tao Quan looked at Xia Fengxiang and smiled. The honest farmer didn't know how to speak. He wanted to say something of thanks, but he couldn't. He could only express his happiness.

And looking at Xia Fengxiang's appearance, she is obviously a good girl, good.

Then he looked at Su Changan: "Your parents will be happy if they know about this, for sure!"

Just as Tao Quan finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the village.

Su Changan turned his head and saw the little girl Nuanhua, and behind her was a large group of people, led by a hunchbacked old woman.

The old man has white hair and is running fast.

But when he saw Su Changan, the old man suddenly stopped and looked at Su Changan straight.

Fortunately, there was someone to support him, otherwise he would have collapsed to the ground.

But the next moment the old man pushed the man away and trotted towards Su Changan.

Su Changan stepped forward quickly: "Grandma Xu, I..."

But before he finished speaking, the old man held Su Changan's face with both hands and looked at him carefully. His eyes were red and his lips were trembling. After looking carefully for a while, the old man could no longer hold back and burst into tears: "My baby, my baby, where have you been? I thought you were dead. Why didn't you send back any news? Where have you been?"

The old man hugged Su Changan and cried loudly.

The person who treated Su Changan the best in the village was this old lady. Her surname was Xu. It was she who saw Su Changan looking sloppy and messy and pointed at Su Changan's mother and scolded her.

Later the truth came out, but every time Grandma Xu saw Su Changan, she would tidy up his clothes, but Su Changan would still mess them up.

Although Grandma Xu might mutter to herself, she would continue to clean up, and would give Su Changan any delicious food she had first.

Su Changan hugged the old man and whispered, "Isn't he back safe and sound?"

When the people around saw the old man's appearance, many of them were moved, especially those who had survived the village before. They all looked at Su Changan and wiped their tears.

Tao Quan stepped forward and supported his mother: "Mom, the second boy is back from his journey, let's go into the village first."

Grandma Xu nodded and let go of Su Changan, but held Su Changan with both hands, as if afraid that he would leave again. But when Grandma Xu looked around, she saw Xia Fengxiang, Ruyu and the others. She was stunned for a moment and then she saw the jar in Xia Fengxiang's arms.

Then he looked at Su Changan, his lips moving, obviously realizing it, but not daring to ask because he was afraid of knowing the answer.

Su Changan nodded: "It's my mother and my brother."

Hearing this, the old man burst into tears again, but he had experienced too much in the past two years, and too many things like this had happened, so the old man immediately restrained himself and said, "It's good that you are alive, at least you are still alive, that's good, it's easy to go, let's go back to the village with grandma, we are home, we are not afraid of anything anymore."

Su Changan nodded.

Then he looked up at the others and saw the old man. Su Changan said, "Grandpa Zhang."

Then he saw a woman who was also crying: "Aunt Liu."

I don’t know many people, just a few, all of whom survived Laohuai Village.

"You little brat, you've been gone for a year and a half and you haven't come back with any news!" The old man named Lao Zhang reached out and rubbed Su Changan's head, doing the same thing as before, but looking at Su Changan.

Old Zhang's eyes felt sore. He knew what was happening outside. He had also escaped from those people and had seen a lot of people eating each other and robbing each other.

Such a sickly person must have suffered so much.

How much suffering did the daughter-in-law of the Su family and the boy Ping'an go through.

But the next moment, the old man Zhang looked at the faces of the crowd and immediately said, "Good day! Everyone, don't look so sad!"

I've experienced a lot of death.

To put it bluntly, everyone here now lost relatives and friends in the previous catastrophe.

Being alive is a great joy.

Tao Quan said at this time: "Not only did Chang'an come back, he also brought his wife back with him, and he is also the benefactor who saved Chang'an."

Hearing this, Grandma Xu was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xia Fengxiang who Tao Quan was pointing at.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Fengxiang: "You saved my child, and you became his wife?"

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Yes."

Grandma Xu reached out and touched Xia Fengxiang's cheek with tears in her eyes: "Good girl, good girl"

The woman came forward and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "We have married a good woman in Chang'an. Come on, follow your aunt. Our daughter-in-law from Laohuaishu Village must eat and drink well when we return home."

As she spoke, the woman looked at Xia Fengxiang. The more she looked, the more curious she became, especially when she looked at Xia Fengxiang's breasts and buttocks.

Farmers don't have too many considerations when choosing a wife. As long as her face looks good, it's fine. They mainly look at her butt and breasts. They look at her butt to see if she can give birth, and she looks at her breasts to see if she can produce milk.

And this woman was satisfied with everything about Xia Fengxiang.

It's just that the skin and flesh of this hand are a little delicate and tender, not like that of a hand that can be used for manual labor, but it doesn't matter!

Su Changan took the ashes from Xia Fengxiang's arms.

Because not only this aunt, but all the other aunts who survived came to Xia Fengxiang.

Grandma Xu nodded, wiped away her tears, and grabbed Su Changan: "Okay, okay, your parents will definitely smile in heaven if they know about this."

But then he turned around and looked at Su Changan: "You're back, it's good to be back, it's good."

Xia Fengxiang was surrounded by a group of people, asking her all kinds of questions. She had never experienced such a thing before.

But he was also at ease and answered each question with a smile.

Su Changan was naturally dragged into the village by Grandma Xu and Old Zhang.

Many of the new people who moved here are really happy. Country people don’t have so many thoughts. Especially after experiencing those things, they feel that as long as there is one, it’s good enough to be able to come back alive.

That is, outside the crowd

Su Budong was among them.

But now

Su Budong looked at Su Changan and the others from behind in confusion, frowning with a strange look on his face.

"Brother Su Budong, what are you looking at? Are you thinking those sisters are pretty?" A little kid ran up to Su Budong and asked in a low voice.

Su Budong glared at the kid: "It is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, I have seen it before. I just feel like I have seen these people before, but I can't remember where I have seen them before."

After saying this, Su Budong's face was full of confusion.

It's really familiar.

But if you think about it carefully, judging from the pockmarks on these girls' faces, it seems like I've never seen girls like this before.

I don't know why it looks so familiar.

Another child immediately said, "You deal with so many people every day, you must be dazzled. I didn't hear that they were from our old Huai Village. But why does this Second Brother Su have so many things on his face? It's weird."

Su Budong slapped him: "Look at you, you dare to say that to others."

The kid was not very impressed by such things, so he looked at Su Budong and said, "Brother, tell us more about the fight between the Grandmasters of the End that you saw yesterday, the dragons and the lotuses."

Su Budong was unhappy: "What a joke! This is a real thing. Hey! You guys should study hard. Master Du has kindly set up a private school for us. You guys skip classes all day long. If you study hard, you will understand everything!"

After saying that, Su Budong frowned and followed the crowd.

But I felt familiar looking at his back, especially the one who said he was the second son of the Su family in Laohuai Village. The more I looked at him, the more familiar he felt.

A group of people surrounded Su Changan and came to the old locust tree in the village. There was a shed set up there and several large pots.

It's obvious that they want to make a feast.

The people who have just moved to Laohuai Village are also very enthusiastic.

They had all heard about the Su family's past. It was said that whenever anyone in the village had problems, the Su family would always help. They were a very kind family.

Grandma Xu has no children and lives with her husband, so the Su family has been taking care of her.

At that moment, Tao Quan recognized Grandma Xu as his godmother and took her home.

But in the past, it was the Su family who often sent meals and clothes.

"Call me Qingge? What a pretty name! Our Chang'an has picked up a great treasure. Girl, if Chang'an bullies you, tell your aunt and I will take care of him when I am young!" After the woman pulled Xia Fengxiang to sit next to Su Chang'an, she also sat directly next to Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Okay."

The woman grinned.

On Su Changan's side, Grandma Xu grabbed Su Changan's hand and said, "You're back, you're back."

After saying this, Grandma Xu immediately asked, "You're not leaving this time, are you?"

Su Changan was stunned for a moment: "Grandma, we have to go back to the home we built in the capital."

Grandma Xu was a little anxious when she heard this, but she was more reluctant: "You can't come back."

When the others heard this, they were all stunned. Settling down in the capital was a great achievement, much more promising than living in Jizhou City!

Especially Su Budong's side

Tao Quan said on the side: "Mother, the second boy is promising, and he married a good wife in the capital. It would be better for us not to come back to this place."

Grandma Xu became even more anxious.

Old Zhang looked at Su Changan and said, "Everyone was running towards the capital at that time. Your father wanted your mother to take you two brothers to the capital. It's safe there. It's a good thing to settle down there! There's a bright future ahead! Come, accompany me!"

Old Zhang picked up the wine glass.

Su Changan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and looked at Grandma Xu with some shame.

However, when talking about his father, Su Changan looked at Tao Quan. At that time, all the hunters in the village, including his father and second uncle, stayed.

But if Tao Quan was still alive

Thinking of this, Su Changan looked at Tao Quan: "Uncle, my father and my second uncle."

Before he could finish his words, Su Changan saw that Tao Quan's expression changed and he not only said nothing, but also frowned.
