The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 93 Chapter 93
The two of them left Tongtian Temple and drove all the way to their hometown. Now the two of them are very excited. When they think of going home, the two of them are like an arrow!

Along the way, the two beat horses like flying horses, hunger for food and drink, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and within a few days, the two of them came to the place where they fought the tiger last time.

Duan Wuji reined in the horse's rein and said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, come on, come with me to get back our tiger skin, take it back and I'm going to give it as a gift."

Tie Niu turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go, let's go back quickly. I'm so homesick right now."

When the two came to the farmer's house, Duan Wuji stepped forward and knocked on the door of the farmer's house. It was a woman in her 20s who opened the door.

"You two, who are you looking for?"

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Is the owner of this house here? We are here to get our tiger skin."

"Oh, so it's the two benefactors! Two benefactors, please come inside. Head of the house, come out quickly, our house has guests."

This woman is full of enthusiasm.

Not long after, that Hei Niu came out of the house together with his father, the two of them immediately recognized Duan Wuji and Tie Niu.

"You two benefactors, why did you come back? Please come to the house quickly, come in and drink some water."

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu shook their heads after hearing this.

"Hei Niu, no need, today we are here to get our tiger skin. We have to go on our way immediately after we get the tiger skin."

After hearing this, Hei Niu's father immediately went into the house and took out the tiger skin.

Duan Wuji put the tiger skin into the bag, smiled and asked: "Brother Hei Niu, when did you marry your wife?"

Hei Niu laughed.

"Well, it's been almost two months. Since you gave me ten taels of silver last time, I bought a little donkey with more than three taels of silver, and started a small business in the town with the remaining money. Fang saw that my life was getting better, so he recruited you as a sister-in-law for me, and now I live a comfortable life, but I have to thank you for all of this!"

Duan Wuji shook his head with a smile.

"Brother Hei Niu, I wish you a prosperous life, well, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and Tieniu led the horses to the door, they got on the horses, immediately returned the same way, and ran down along the official road to the northeast.

Two days later, Duan Wuji and Tieniu finally rushed back to their familiar hometown. Tieniu and Duan Wuji broke up at the intersection of Duanjiaji, and then rushed to their own homes.

Duan Wuji rode his horse back home and tied the horse to a tree in his yard. Duan Wuji carried the bundle and shouted loudly: "Father, mother, I'm back."

With this sound, everyone in the family ran out, Liu Caihua ran over and patted Duan Wuji's back all at once.

"You son of a bitch, how dare you lie to my old lady by saying that you will go out to play for a few days. You said that you will be out for half a year. My son, I miss my mother."

After speaking, Liu Caihua hugged Duan Wuji and cried, Duan Yanqing also shed tears when she saw her.

"Wuji, where have you been for so long? Your father and I are so worried about you."

When Duan Wuji saw his mother, he also cried and cried.

After crying for a long time, the family entered the house.

Only then did Duan Wuji tell his parents and elder brother about his experiences of going out in detail.

Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua smiled happily after hearing this.

Duan Changsheng looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Damn, brother, you are not simple, and now you have the ability to slaughter tigers, it is really amazing! Hey, brother, show me the tiger skin quickly. "

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing also urged: "Yes, Wuji, quickly unpack and let Dad see that tiger skin too."

Duan Wuji opened the bag, took out the tiger skin and spread it out on the kang, the whole family looked around the tiger skin, they saw that the tiger skin was big enough, the pattern of black and yellow was very beautiful. Good-looking, thick fur is also very warm.

The whole family liked it very much.

Duan Wuji took out five pieces of brocade Duan picked from Prince Qiu's Mansion and put them on the kang.

"Mother, do you think the five pieces of cloth I picked are beautiful? Come down and make a suit of clothes for each of you."

Duan Changsheng laughed and said, "Brother, if we do it, don't you want it?"

Duan Wuji smiled and nodded.

"I'm a martial artist, and I can't wear the best clothes. I don't want these brocade clothes. It's better for you to wear them."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "How can it be done? Wuji, you said that you brought this cloth back from such a long distance, but you don't have your clothes. This is justified no matter what."

Liucaihua looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Damn, mother has the final say on making clothes, so you should not get involved."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I didn't get involved, and I don't want to get involved."

Duan Yanqing looked at the tiger skin and said: "Wuji, this tiger skin is pretty good, what are you going to do with it?"

Duan Wuji looked at his father and said: "I plan to give it to my third grandfather, Daddy, do you think it's okay?"

Duan Yanqing nodded after listening.

"Well, it's good to do this. Your third grandfather's family helped our family a lot a few years ago. Our family is rich now, so don't be ungrateful now.

Wuji, you rest at home for a day, can we go to Duanjiaji together tomorrow? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Okay, then let's go there tomorrow."

Duan Yanqing glanced at Liucaihua and said: "Damn, you see that Wuji is back, hurry up and cook. Cook something delicious, let's have a good celebration as a family tonight."

Liu Caihua agreed and walked out. The father and son sat at the table and chatted while drinking water.

Duan Wuji looked at his father and asked: "Father, is the cart ready?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "It's already done, there are two trucks in total, from now on our family will never have to go to your third grandfather's house to borrow a cart.

Of these two large carts, one with a shed and the other without a shed, the one with a shed is only for pulling people, and the one without a shed is used for pulling manure and crops.

I recently recruited two long-term workers from our village. They usually do farm work under the leadership of your uncle Shi Ping. These two long-term workers do not usually live in our house. Each of them is given a thousand catties of grain every year. , In this way, both benefit, our family saves a lot of trouble, and they can also subsidize the food for other people in the family when they get the food back.

In addition, each person gave them three taels of silver every year. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "It's so cheap? Then why don't you recruit more?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "What's the use of recruiting so many? Your brother and I are both good laborers. We can go to the fields when the farming is busy. It's not a bad thing to do farm work in the fields. We can exercise properly. Practicing and exercising your body is called self-reliance."

Duan Changsheng stood up.

"Dad, you can talk to Dad for a while, I'll put your horses in the yard of the cowshed, now someone is feeding the animals, so you can rest easy in the future."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Duan Yanqing: "Since someone feeds the livestock, they will also occupy my house? Then where will I live in the future?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Look at what you said? Can we lose your residence? With so many houses in our family and such a small population, can we lose your residence?
Well, you can live in the hatchback room, and your Uncle Shiping and his father and daughter live in the east wing room. "

Duan Wuji said to his elder brother: "Brother, put all my weapons, bows and arrows in the west wing. I will live with you again from now on."

Duan Changsheng nodded and went out.

Before long, Liu Caihua came in with food. Duan Wuji looked at Wang Jinhua who was following behind his mother and asked, "Sister Jinhua, why didn't you show up when I came back just now? Don't you miss me? "

Wang Jinhua was embarrassed to ask in one sentence.

Wang Jinhua shook her head.

"No, you said you just came back, and your family was talking together, what am I messing around with? I don't have the part to talk! Actually, I've figured it out a long time ago, I miss you so much!"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji shook his head helplessly and did not speak.

Seeing this, Liu Caihua jokingly said, "What's the matter? Do you miss your wife? If you miss your wife so much, I'll make arrangements for you after a while."

Wang Jinhua's face immediately turned red like a piece of red cloth.

"Mom, he's so young, what kind of wife does he want? Don't worry about it."

Duan Wuji knew that his mother was joking with him, so Duan Wuji took a piece of cake and rolled it up and handed it over.

"Mother, don't talk, hurry up and eat."

Liu Caihua took the rolled meat pie and said with a smile while eating, "What? You want to gag your mother? No way."

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Mom, look where you want to go, you can say whatever you want, and no one is stopping you, hey, Jinhua, sit down and eat together."

This time Wang Jinhua was really generous, and immediately sat down next to Duan Wuji, after dinner, Duan Wuji said to everyone: "You guys rest, I'm going back to my room to practice."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji walked out from the main room.After Duan Wuji returned to the West Wing, he immediately sat cross-legged on the kang, and was immersed in his cultivation within a short period of time.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji got up early, first practiced boxing and kicking in the yard for a while, then practiced stick and sword skills, and then put the weapons back into the house.

As soon as Duan Wuji turned around, Libu ran out of the house, and ran towards the distance along the winding path.

Duan Wuji ran out for twenty miles in one breath, Duan Wuji was so tired that his white hair was sweating straight out, Duan Wuji sat on the stone by the roadside and rested for a while, then turned around and ran back, waiting for Duan Wuji to run home , Liu Caihua felt distressed when she saw Duan Wuji tired.

"Damn, look at how tired you are, hurry up and sit down to eat, don't you still have to go to your third grandfather's house with your father today to deliver the tiger skin. Why don't you hurry up and eat?"

Duan Wuji is really hungry now, he just sat on the chair and ate. After two mouthfuls, Duan Wuji raised his head and asked: "Mom, have you eaten?"

Willow cauliflower smiled and said: "You silly boy, how high is the sun? We have already eaten it, and it is up to you. Hurry up and eat."

Only then did Duan Wuji feel relieved. Duan Wuji grabbed the big pancake, rolled it and ate the meat. After eating everything on the table, Duan Wuji drank two more bowls of soup before he was completely full.

Duan Wuji picked up the wrapped tiger skin and went to the back room and said to Duan Yanqing: "Father, it's getting late, let's go to the third grandfather's house now, and if we go later, we should be told to run away It's time for dinner."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Okay, let's go, let's walk there, we must eat there, but now that everyone is rich, who cares about a bite of food."

The father and son went out and went straight to the third grandfather's house in Duanjiaji.
