Chapter 487 Is this really a dragon?
"Is this really a dragon?" Tang Erbao couldn't help but poke the long white worm on the ground and turn to ask Xiao Subao.
Little dumpling...
"Hmm, I think so..."
Little Su Bao said, not entirely sure.
The little white dragon could fly before, but now...
How did it get so small and so listless?
None of that is the most important thing. The most important thing is that this big guy is carrying a person over here!
This person doesn't look like a good person at all!
Even more importantly, this person was holding onto Xiao Su Bao's toes tightly...
Unless she breaks all of this person's fingers, she has to take him back.
They had come to check the traps for prey during the snowfall...
"Auntie, should we take this person back?" Tang Sanbao also came over, looking at the person in front of him with a sharpened knife.
God knows this guy just scared himself half to death.
"Let's take it back, otherwise it'll definitely freeze to death in this cold weather!" Tang Xin added from the side.
Little Su Bao looked at this person, then at Little White Dragon, and sighed.
The little girl stood up and said, "Make way, I'm taking him back!"
The little ones were slightly taken aback, then their eyes lit up instantly. Were they going to carry the person back?
Realizing this possibility, the little ones spontaneously revealed a passage.
However, the next moment, they saw Xiao Su Bao pick up Xiao Bai Long and then drag this person forward.
A long drag mark was left behind...
Little ones...
What exactly is going on here?
Fortunately, the back mountain is not far from Tangjia Village. The little ones could have gone home in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but now it has taken them almost half an hour.
Except for Xiao Su Bao, the other children all felt a bit cold at this moment.
Fortunately, the group had already reached the village entrance.
The moment they returned, four people suddenly appeared at the village entrance.
Wang Mingtian, Granny Bai, the nameless old Taoist priest, and the young Taoist priest Song Yun.
Song Yun was the last to arrive, and he was still panting heavily.
However, Wang Mingtian and Granny Bai rushed directly to Xiao Su Bao.
One of them looked at the little white dragon in Xiao Su Bao's arms, while the other looked at the person at his feet.
"Su Bao, where did you get this... white snake?"
Wang Mingtian's eyes held a strange glint, and his heart trembled slightly.
He wondered why the weather in the Great Shang Kingdom had suddenly improved, and why the fate of three years of drought had been changed!
It turned out that the world's first real dragon had appeared.
White Tiger, White Dragon, Black Tortoise, and the last one is Vermilion Bird...
Wang Mingtian paused, and then fell silent for a moment.
He glanced at the sky; thankfully, no strangely shaped birds flew back.
Grandma Bai squatted down next to the man who was tightly gripping Xiao Su Bao's ankle, raised her hand, and slapped the man's wrist.
Just moments ago, she was holding onto Xiao Su Bao's hand tightly, but in an instant, she opened it.
"You audacious little thief, how dare you pull my little fairy back! I'll kick you to death!"
As she spoke, Granny Bai kicked the man in the chest.
The nameless old Taoist priest and Wang Mingtian, standing to the side, seemed not to have seen what was happening, and no one paid any attention to it.
"Su Bao, can Master take a look at this little white... snake?"
Wang Mingtian looked at Xiao Subao and asked.
The little girl has now turned six and grown quite a bit, looking exceptionally adorable.
Little Su Bao's hands were fair and tender. After thinking for a moment, she grabbed the limp little white dragon by the tail and threw it over.
Wang Mingtian...
This is unbelievable!
This is the only dragon in the Great Shang Kingdom, and even on their entire continent!
Wang Mingtian gave Xiao Su Bao a resentful look, picked up Xiao Bailong, and turned to leave.
Little Su Bao looked at her master strangely, wondering why her master seemed a little angry!
The little girl looked puzzled, but she soon stopped worrying about it.
Because I'm hungry...
"You guys play first, I'm going home for dinner!" Little Su Bao licked her lips and patted her belly.
"But what about this person?" Tang Xin couldn't help but ask.
Little Su Bao glanced at the people around her, her gaze finally settling on the person holding her foot.
The nameless old Taoist priest held an enormous silver needle in his hand and plunged it into the man's chest.
There was a familiar aura about this person that Xiao Su Bao felt, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen him before.
Little Su Bao frowned and said, "Grandpa Wuming, won't you stab someone to death?"
The nameless old Taoist priest's hand almost trembled.
Fortunately, the nameless old Taoist priest stopped his force at the crucial moment.
"He won't die!" he said, then looked up at Xiao Su Bao.
"Su Bao, Grandpa has a favor to ask of you, is that alright?"
The nameless old Taoist looked at Xiao Su Bao with a complicated expression, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity.
Little Su Bao immediately stood obediently in front of the nameless old Taoist priest, her little hands on her tummy, looking exceptionally cute.
The nameless old Taoist priest paused for a moment, then said, "Could you please change your habit of always picking up things randomly outside?"
Little Su Bao...
"I didn't pick this person up; he was the one who grabbed my ankle, and I was worried I'd break his hand..."
Little Su Bao looked at the person, then at herself, and spoke with a slight hesitation.
An unnamed old Taoist priest...
So you just drag him along the way!
He looked at Xiao Su Bao with a complicated expression, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Su Bao, promise Grandpa Wuming that you will not pick up any messy things in the future, especially people!"
"Okay, I won't pick it up anymore! I won't pick it up anymore!"
The little girl quickly waved her little hand, revealing her innocent and adorable expression.
The nameless old Taoist priest was somewhat helpless, but he still handed the unconscious man over to his apprentice and his adopted grandson, Bai Yinjun.
"Yin Jun, Xiao Yunzi, you two carry the person back!" the nameless old Taoist said lazily.
Bai Yinjun, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but Song Yun pulled him back. The two exchanged a glance and obediently went back to work.
Grandma Bai had somehow gotten up in front of Xiao Su Bao and reached out to grab her hand.
"Fairy, you are still young, don't be afraid, we old folks are here for you!"
At this moment, Granny Bai looked very gentle, and the smile in her eyes was extremely warm.
Little Su Bao was taken aback, her eyes, which shone with a faint golden light, looked at Granny Bai.
In the next instant, a hand covered the little girl's eyes.
"What are you looking at? Don't you want to see anything?!"
Wang Mingtian frowned deeply; he knew this girl would suddenly gain insight into the heavenly realm!
"Master..." Little Su Bao called out pitifully to Wang Mingtian.
Wang Mingtian sighed helplessly, but lowered his voice slightly: "You're still too young. Overusing your eyes will... make you blind!"
"Master~ I was wrong!" Little Su Bao obediently admitted her mistake, gently tugging at Wang Mingtian's clothes with her little hand.
Seeing that his silly apprentice had really become obedient, Wang Mingtian finally let go of his hand.
Granny Bai and the nameless old Taoist priest had already left.
Wang Mingtian simply walked back with Xiao Subao.
As soon as the village children returned, they all ran home to eat. At this moment, apart from Tang Dabao and his brothers, there was no one else around.
Tang Dabao glanced at Wang Mingtian stealthily, then secretly looked at his aunt.
Seeing that his aunt seemed a little unhappy, the young boy couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wang, your aunt is still young, please don't take it to heart!"
“Yes, yes, Big Brother is right!” Tang Erbao chimed in.
Tang Sanbao glanced at the two of them slyly, then silently took two steps back.
These two silly brothers are going to be in trouble again!
Wang Mingtian glanced at the group of young boys and said in a nonchalant tone, "Well, you're quite a handful for your age. Have you finished writing the characters I asked you to write today?"
Tang Dabao's expression was alright, after all, he had already finished writing and only needed to proofread it one more time.
Tang Erbao was a little annoyed. He could have finished writing it, but Princess Chang'an dragged him off to play... which delayed him!
Tang Sanbao pretended not to hear anything.
He'll wait until he gets home to write!
However, at this moment, all three of them were quiet and became very well-behaved.
Little Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief and gently touched her eyes with her little hand.
It seems that her third eye is seeing things in a more and more different way now!
The little girl pursed her lips, a hint of something unreadable in her eyes.
As soon as they reached the gate, they saw Ms. Qian walking out of the courtyard.
Ms. Qian had just heard the noise outside and came to open the door.
Seeing Wang Mingtian with the children, she said, "Mr. Wang, we made a hot pot today, why don't you come and eat with us!"
Wang Mingtian didn't stand on ceremony and nodded with a smile: "Okay!"
It was snowing outside, but the house was warm and cozy.
In the main room, there was a larger pot containing spicy broth, and next to it was a smaller pot containing mushroom broth.
Even before you go inside, you can smell the aroma of meat broth.
This year, the village slaughtered three large, fat pigs, so every household has enough meat to eat.
Last year, the red hibiscus flowers from their village became famous in the surrounding area, and many people came to the village to buy them.
Jixiang Village also benefited from their village's success.
"This is a soup made with gypsy dragon and pork ribs, Su Bao, Mr. Wang, please have some soup to warm yourselves up!" Sun Cuihua walked in. Now that life is better, she looks quite plump.
Wang Mingtian smiled and looked at his daughters-in-law in the family!
They're all wonderful. This year, there's another one, Qi Meng. The young woman, now a young married woman, has a gentler look in her eyes, making her much better than before.
Needless to say, Wang Xiuer was always as energetic as ever.
Seeing Wang Mingtian's gaze, Wang Xiuer leaned closer, glanced around furtively, and then said, "Mr. Wang, could you tell me when I'll be able to give birth to a daughter just like Su Bao?"
Wang Mingtian...
He would say this almost every time he met Wang Xiuer.
but……
"Next life!"
Wang Mingtian pursed his lips and said quietly.
Wang Xiuer's expression wasn't very good. She gave Wang Mingtian a resentful look before saying, "Mr. Wang always likes to joke!"
After saying that, Wang Xiuer turned and left!
She looked at Xiao Su Bao and reached out to hug the little girl.
Little Su Bao calmly ate the ribs that Little Mo Bao had given her, and even slurped up a mouthful of the rib soup.
What a pity, it's not Dragon and Phoenix Soup...
Suddenly, the little girl glanced at Wang Mingtian's arms. The little white dragon was in her master's arms. She wondered what real dragon meat tasted like!
Is it delicious...?
The little white dragon seemed to sense something and instantly shivered. It stretched out its two-horned head and secretly peeked out.
Seeing that Xiao Su Bao was drooling over him, he froze instantly and darted into Wang Mingtian's arms.
Mom, help!
Is my benefactor hungry?
Waaah, I'm so weak, pitiful, and helpless. I have nothing to eat, nothing to eat!
The little white dragon was so frightened that it crawled inside, leaving only a small section of its tail sticking out and wagging.
Xiao Mobao helped Su Bao wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth, and then glanced at Wang Mingtian's arms.
Should he stew the little white dragon and let Su Bao try it?
The little white dragon felt chilly; it was the dead of winter, so cold…
You absolutely cannot come out until you've fully recovered!
Qian was unaware of these things. She called her family over, and the whole family enjoyed a lively hot pot meal together.
The Qian family members all came this time, and the aunt who had been rescued by Xiao Su Bao and the others before also returned.
This is the first time so many people have ever eaten together in their family!
"Oh, I miss Lao Si!" Just then, Wang Xiuer sighed and said.
When she married into the family, her younger brother was still a child, and now he's all grown up!
Tang Qi sighed upon hearing his younger brother's name.
Just then, each of them was hit on the head with a shovel!
"What are you thinking? Fourth Brother is perfectly fine. But you guys, once he passes the imperial examination, you can't hold him back, or I'll break your legs!"
Qian treated her sons almost the same.
He only showed some favoritism to the fourth son, since the little guy had never seen his father since he was a child. Later, because he liked reading, Tang Yu took him to the county town.
If they hadn't gone to check on the situation in the county town, they probably would have really thought that the fourth brother was living a very good life!
Madam Qian sighed. She felt so sorry for her fourth son!
"You two have eaten your fill, now go see the children!"
Tang Cheng glanced at Tang Qi and Wang Xiuer, put down his chopsticks, and spoke calmly.
Tang Cheng now looks increasingly dignified.
He is now the most powerful village head in the surrounding area.
He naturally exudes an aura of authority without needing to be angry.
"Ah! Okay!" Tang Qi glanced at his older brother's cold eyes and quickly grabbed his wife and ran.
Tang Shan and his wife exchanged a glance and quietly sat down to eat next to Qian Shi.
"Alright, this is home. They're all your brothers, not your subordinates. What's with the airs of a village head?"
Qian tapped the eldest son on the head with a shovel.
Tang Cheng paused, scratched his head, and smiled slightly.
"The second couple are too lively; they need to be kept in check!"
Tang Cheng didn't want to either, but his biological father had died early, and he had truly raised these little ones as his own sons.
Madam Qian rolled her eyes at Tang Bugui and said, "So what? He's not a child anymore. Don't talk about the eldest brother being like a father. Even if he were his own father, he couldn't just scold his child!"
"Can my own mother do it?"
Wang Xiuer's voice came from the doorway.
The Qian family...
Wang Mingtian, standing to the side, looked at the family with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The Qian family members ate their hotpot to the side, their faces beaming with smiles, but no one interrupted.
When visiting someone's home, you should behave like a guest and not interfere in their affairs.
Something occurred to Madam Qian, and she looked at her eldest son: "You are all getting on in years, and I'm thinking it's time for you to separate the family!"
Tang Cheng paused slightly, and the expression on his face changed.
Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
"Then you'll come with me!"
Tang Cheng spoke almost immediately.
"Mother, come with me!" Tang Shan quickly said.
Tang Shan's paintings are now selling for a considerable amount of money.
Moreover, General Qi also said that he hoped Tang Shan could join the army, as he was in excellent physical condition.
"Mother, no, you have to come with me!" Wang Xiuer's voice came as she rushed in and clung tightly to Qian Shi's clothes.
Little Su Bao was stunned for a moment. Now that she was all grown up, she knew what it meant to separate the family!
Tang Bugui took Xiao Su Bao on a journey that included many stops, with the most important goal being to broaden Xiao Su Bao's horizons.
My little dumpling didn't know many basic things before.
Little Su Bao looked pitiful as she approached Qian Shi, tugging at Qian Shi's sleeve with her little hand.
"Mommy~" Little Su Bao called out softly, her eyes brimming with tears.
The Qian family...
Fortunately, everyone had almost finished eating by now, otherwise they probably wouldn't have been able to finish their meal.
Madam Qian coughed lightly; she didn't know what was wrong with her today!
"Ahem, alright, I was just saying. The fourth brother isn't married yet, and the third brother and his wife haven't had any children. Let's divide things up after you've all settled down!"
Qi Meng and Tang Shan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Qi Meng liked the Qian family very much and loved this family. She didn't want to separate from the family.
She felt very relaxed being with everyone.
Wang Mingtian slowly withdrew his hand, the smile in his eyes deepening.
Because the Lunar New Year was just around the corner, early on New Year's Eve, Qian took the children up the mountain.
Old Tang's grave is on the mountain; that area is the Tang family's ancestral cemetery.
Tang Bugui also went up the mountain with the others.
An old man with a limp and blind in one eye smiled when he saw the Qian family arrive.
"They're here!"
The old man was a former servant of the Tang family. Qian originally wanted him to come down the mountain and live with everyone, but the old man was very stubborn and refused no matter what.
For so many years, the old man has been guarding this group of lonely graves.
This is Little Su Bao's first time here!
She was slightly taken aback when she saw the one-eyed, lame old man.
For some reason, the little girl felt that the old man looked somewhat familiar...
"This must be Miss Su Bao. This is a gift from the old man to you as we meet. Please don't find it offensive!"
The old man looked at Xiao Su Bao with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face became kind.
It was a black sign with no writing on it, but upon closer inspection, one could sense that the sign possessed a kind of magic.
Madam Qian was slightly taken aback. She had seen this sign before. Her husband had shown it to her years ago and told her that it was a token of the Tang family and would only be passed down to the head of the family!
But she only saw it that one time, and even after Old Man Tang died, she never saw it again.
Qian looked at the old man. Didn't the old man say that he was just an old servant of the Tang family?
"Uncle Tang Gui, who exactly are you?"
As Qian protected Xiao Su Bao, she looked at Tang Gui with a hint of wariness in her eyes.
When exactly did Tang Gui take this jade pendant?
Just then, a voice rang out: "He is a member of the Tang family, and he was one of the most outstanding talents in the area back then!"
Tang Datou walked back slowly, his hands behind his back.
He wasn't a member of the Tang family, but because he was the old master's personal servant and later remained unmarried and childless, the Tang family had long regarded the old man as family.
"Uncle Big Head!" Tang Gui said with a wry smile, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.
"Tang Datou greets Young Master!"
Tang Datou looked at Tang Gui and bowed.
"Uncle Big Head, there's no need for that!"
Tang Gui sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Young Master...
Madam Qian frowned, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Tang Cheng, however, was stunned. He had only heard his father mention it by chance!
"You are, you are Great-Grandpa's youngest brother?"
Tang Cheng was slightly taken aback, but then looked at Tang Bugui beside him.
Could this person be Tang Bugui's biological father?
After all, Tang Bugui's lineage is the offspring of the young master!
Tang Bugui was also stunned. He had never met his father, but both the Empress and the Emperor had said that his father was a great hero.
However, Tang Bugui lived with his mother when he was very young, and later lived in a beggar's den. He had a fierce streak.
He saved the emperor and empress when the emperor was still a prince.
Tang Bugui frowned as he looked at the man in front of him, who might be his father.
“I am not your father, I am your father’s biological brother!” Tang Gui was silent for a moment, but finally spoke.
Tang Bugui remained silent!
Little Su Bao reached out and held her father's hand. She felt that Uncle Tang Gui was not a bad person.
Moreover, she vaguely sensed a sense of familiarity about Grandpa Tang Gui.
The little dumpling felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
Especially now, when Tang Gui is looking at him.
