Chapter 660: The History of the Old Poisonous Man (5)
"Poison is invulnerable, stop right there!"
The woman's loud roar startled the birds in the forest and made them fly away.
Two figures flew quickly above the forest, one in front and one behind, and the distance between them gradually widened.
The gray shadow running in the front was as fast as riding the wind, leaving the dust far behind.
"You shrew! You're so stubborn! You're just insatiable! If Grandpa didn't want to argue with you, you would have been eating dirt years ago! And you're still chasing me! Stop chasing me! If you make Grandpa angry, I don't care whether you are a man or a woman!"
The old man's voice sounded even more angry than the woman chasing him.
Damn it.
He has been pursued for three years!
If he didn't want to fall out with Duan Dao, how could he have endured it until now?
You are so arrogant!
I won’t stop!
If you dare, catch up with grandpa!
Du Buqin disappeared in a flash. Ah Xian was already out of breath and had no strength left. She had no choice but to come down from mid-air. She stared at the disappeared figure in the air and gritted her teeth, "I've never seen such a stubborn person!"
Three years! Even an iron rod can be ground into a needle! She had been begging him for three years, but the old poisonous man didn't soften at all!
Still a human being?
When she returned home, the woman still had a sullen look on her face and was dejected.
When Huo Ziheng saw her like this, he knew that she had been defeated by Du Buqin again.
The sun is scorching outside, and it is the height of summer again.
This is the seventh year that he and Ah Xian have lived in Tubei Mountain.
Huo Ziheng smiled, handed a cup of cold tea to his wife who was sitting on a small chair gasping for breath, sat down beside her, and fanned her with a palm-leaf fan.
"Ah Xian, don't go looking for Du Bu Jin again." His voice was light and gentle. "We've been here for so many years, and we've met many people, big and small. Aside from those exiled by the imperial court, everyone who comes here has their own story. Du Bu Jin never treats people. This is a rule and habit he has followed for decades, and he won't break it easily. He doesn't seek wealth or fame, so it's hard to impress such a person, and no matter how much you pester him, it's useless."
Ah Xian bit her lip, her eyes slightly red. "I'm not discouraged yet, but you're already discouraged? Just because it's hard to impress someone doesn't mean it's impossible. Aren't you always smart? Use your brain and think of how to catch him. You come up with the ideas and I'll do the hard work. When husband and wife are united, they can achieve great things!"
Huo Ziheng's smile softened as he raised his hand to tuck the strands of hair behind his wife's ears. "No matter how long or short life span is, everyone's ultimate destination is just a handful of earth. Ah Xian, I'd rather live a quiet life with you. It's enough to have you accompany me for a while in this life. I'm sorry you've been wronged by having to deal with a sickly person like me."
"What do you mean by grievance or not? I don't feel wronged at all!" Ah Xian straightened her body and stiffened her neck. After a moment, she plunged into the man's arms and hugged him tightly. "Huo Ziheng, I have never regretted being with you! I feel very happy just living like this!"
She was a female bandit who could barely read and write. She grew up in a bandit's den. Apart from being able to cook a few tasty dishes, she only knew how to wield guns and sticks. She had a bad temper, was rude and vulgar, and was not good-looking. She couldn't even speak softly.
She knew in her heart that she was not worthy of Huo Ziheng.
But this man never looked down on her since they first met.
With him by her side, she felt like she was wrapped in the spring breeze, enjoying its warmth and tenderness.
Moreover, his gentleness was something that only she could possess and enjoy, and it had never changed over the years.
Huo Ziheng is the best man in the world.
"Huo Ziheng, I will listen to you. From now on, we will live a quiet life together. Remember what you promised me, that you will stay with me forever." She quietly blinked away the tears in her eyes, and spoke in the same strong and unreasonable manner as usual.
The man's voice sounded above his head, softly and with a smile, "Okay."
Ah Xian closed her eyes, craving the coolness in the man's arms that was different from the midsummer.
He always downplayed his physical condition, as if it wasn't a serious problem, but how could she not notice? His health was deteriorating.
But it doesn't matter.
How long he lives is how long her life will be.
Huo Ziheng stretched out his hands and hugged the woman in his arms tightly. Even the strength of his hug was gentle, but the smile on his lips disappeared at some point, and his eyes revealed pity and reluctance.
In the end, he had wronged his wife and Ah Xian, who brightened the rest of his life.
"You stinky man, we've been married for so many years, and you never seem to tell me whether you like me or not..."
"It's my fault that I made Ah Xian unhappy. Should I tell you now?"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
The man chuckled, stroking the woman's hair with his slender pale fingers, his eyes gazing into the distance.
The sunlight that slanted into the main room retreated quietly, as if it did not want to burn that warm place.
"Well...it's like saying goodbye to the night, fireworks are set off every year."
"Another poem! What's the point?"
"It means that I like Ah Xian."
The woman's cheeks flushed and she smiled happily.
The man curled his lips and pinched her red face.
If he returns to the earth one day, I hope his Ah Xian will live in peace every day and every year in this world.
At that time, Du Buzun had already rushed into Fengyun City and sat outside Liangjifang to watch the fight. There was no one within two feet around him.
The annoyance of being chased for medical treatment was already forgotten, and when the fight became exciting, there were occasional bursts of laughter.
This caused the people around him who were avoiding him and watching the fun to roll their eyes.
But no one dares to provoke this old guy.
Ever since Du Buwei appeared in Fengyun City, countless people have suffered at his hands over the years. If they touch the corner of his clothes, their hands will be rotten and pus will flow. Isn't he like a plague god and is avoided?
"Master Bai came back a few days ago and recruited a group of experts to join Liangjifang. He is willing to invest a lot of money."
"This isn't a big deal. He went out and brought back a son, shocking everyone! Ever since he had a son, he's been showing him off whenever he can. Wangque Tower hasn't welcomed him lately. The owner thinks he's annoying, hahaha!"
"Speaking of which, isn't it a bit strange to only see the son and not the mother?"
"Is there anything in Fengyun City that's worth being surprised about? Get away from me, or people will think I'm as ignorant as you!"
"Damn, you've been beaten too little!"
The fight on stage was exciting, and the audience was in chaos. More and more people joined in the melee and didn't mind getting involved.
In the chaos, no one cared when the old poisoner left.
"Just got back from outside...Bai Kui is very generous, he will definitely bring back treasures! Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, goblins, snow lotus... Grandpa is here, hehe!"
The exile land is as chaotic as ever, and there are as many unruly people as ever.
No one could have expected that three years later, because of the arrival of a little girl, this place would be completely transformed and become a paradise that outsiders yearned for.
