Chapter 55

"Let me introduce, this is my mother-in-law, surnamed Zhao."

Putting the child down, Zhang Sanren pointed to the woman beside him and smiled.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Li Jingji and Wu You greeted Zhang Sanren's wife bluntly.

Zhang Sanren's wife is strong and thick, and looks to be in her forties. She has been weather-beaten, and she doesn't have the white skin that can be broken like a girl. On the contrary, her complexion looks a little sallow due to malnutrition.

The auntie was wearing rough linen clothes, her hands were calloused due to her many years of work, she didn't know how to be polite when she saw the two of them, she looked her up and down: "Yes."

The peasant woman did not warmly entertain the two of them, and seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her husband bringing friends home.

It was Zhang Sanren's son, seven or eight years old, active and cute, with a tiger head and a tiger head, and Wu You got along well with this child.

But the child's mind was not on Wu You, instead he peeked at Li Jingji from time to time, especially the Qingming Sword in his hand.

He wanted to come over and touch it, but he was a little afraid of the expressionless and ignorant Li Jingji.

Li Jingji could naturally see what this little guy was thinking, and it was exactly the same as his expression of joy when he saw the gangsters' outfits and Lie Xinxi in the village.

But he was worried about the affairs of the White Tiger Gang, so he didn't have time to talk to the kid.

Time flies, the child who squatted in Nanshan Village and listened to his father telling stories, and yearned for the rivers and lakes grew up, and became a ranger who walked with a sword.

The little ghost beside him, just like Li Jingji when he was young, was full of fantasies about the so-called ranger.

During these years in Nanshan Village, he came and went to meet many knights resting their feet, but Li Jingji failed to touch the swords of those knights even once.

Suddenly, I remembered my childhood hope, Li Jingji was disturbed by these past events, when I looked at this little boy and saw the longing eyes, Li Jingji couldn't help but handed over the sword.

"Want to touch?"

"think."

The little guy nodded heavily and rubbed his palms excitedly.

Seeing this, Li Jingji rarely showed a slight smile.

Back then, he tried his best, but he couldn't touch the swords of those knights.

Now that his identities have been changed and he is in a different place, Li Jingji is willing to satisfy a child's imagination and yearning for the world.

"Wow, this sword is so powerful."

When the Qing Ming sword was unsheathed, revealing the cold and frightening edge of the sword, the little guy stared straight.

He caressed the scabbard and pressed it against his chest, feeling that he couldn't put it down, showing a satisfied smile. He tightly grasped the scabbard in his hand, as if he had grasped the whole river and lake.

"Huzi, let me go!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Sanren's complexion changed slightly, and he kicked his son's ass.

The kid was kicked and staggered a few steps, almost fell down, his mouth shrunk, he felt extremely wronged.

"Go out and play in the mud, don't mess around with other people's swords, if you touch it, your parents won't be able to afford it!"

Zhang Sanren looked serious, unmoved by his son's tears.

Huzi had no choice but to sob and wipe away his tears, handed back the scabbard to Li Jingzhi, and went to dig mud under the tree to play alone.

"It's okay to take a look, this sword is not made of paper, how can it be spoiled."

Li Jingji couldn't bear it, and said.

"Your sword is naturally indestructible, but my son's experience has been hooked into the rivers and lakes by your sword."

Zhang Sanren said angrily: "My son will be able to do anything when he grows up, but he is not allowed to venture into the world!"

When he said this, he was decisive and there was no room for maneuver.

"Brother Zhang, from what you said before, didn't you also travel through the rivers and lakes, why do you have such a big prejudice against this?"

Li Jingji frowned slightly, a little displeased.

Zhang Sanren's attitude reminded him of the anguish of being restricted by his parents when he was a child.

"It is precisely because I have been in the rivers and lakes and know what the rivers and lakes are like, that I will never let this brat go out and venture into the rivers and lakes."

Zhang Sanren waved his hand, and didn't intend to continue talking: "Forget it, just sit down first, my mother-in-law and aunt will cook the dishes later, after dinner, I'll make a bed mat on the ground, and you will sleep for the night first." .”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Sanren turned around and whispered a few words to his wife.

The peasant woman walked to the kitchen with some reluctance, made a few cups of tea and served them.

The Zhang family's tea tasted bland and was served in rough porcelain bowls, and they didn't even want to add a few more tea leaves, but Wu You and Li Jingji saw that his house was shabby and knew the difficulties, so naturally they wouldn't chew their tongues.

When Zhang Sannin and his wife had just walked out of the house, Li Jingji heard the noise.

After swallowing the water of the demon pill, his eyesight improved, even if he sat in the room and looked far away, he could still see the scenery outside the window, so he had a panoramic view of the quarrel between the two.

As soon as the peasant woman went out, she stretched out her hand and twisted Zhang Sanren's waist fiercely. At the same time, she did not forget to slap her man hard with the other hand.

"You worthless guy, you don't do your business all day long, you don't make any money, and you always bring your so-called friends to your house for free!

Do you know that the rice tank at home is almost empty, so you let us, mother and son, drink northwest wind? "

Zhang Sanren didn't dare to talk poorly in front of his mother-in-law, so he could only beg for forgiveness and appease: "Silly woman, don't worry, the rice tank at home is empty, I will find a way to get some food."

"These two are indeed friends. You have to stay here for a few days. Don't show your face."

"I don't know how many friends you have? Who are they?"

Under the inquisition of the peasant woman surnamed Zhao, Zhang Sanren couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to tell the truth, and told his mother-in-law everything that happened in the wine shop today.

"What! You, you guys actually offended someone from the White Tiger Gang?"

When the peasant woman surnamed Zhao heard this, her face turned blue, and she pointed at Zhang Sanren's nose: "Lao Zhang, you are doing well, and now you dare to provoke the gang outside.

Tell me, I haven't had a good day in the years I've been married to you. I don't have enough food, I don't wear warm clothes, and I live in such a broken place, and I have to take care of your baby.

It's fine that you're worthless, and now you're going to cause trouble, because you don't want to live on! "

Zhang Sanren felt guilty when he heard his daughter-in-law complaining, so he could only keep admitting his mistakes and begging for mercy.

"What's the use of admitting your mistake to me? You have to be spared by the White Tiger Gang. If they come to your door and kill you, how can I live alone with my tiger cub?"

Speaking of this, this seemingly tough middle-aged peasant woman had tears and began to sob.

"Aren't we trying to figure out a way?"

Zhang Sanren comforted him: "Have you seen that young man with a sword? His kung fu is very good. He has said that he will be able to settle this matter. Don't worry."

Zhang San endured all the talking, so he persuaded his mother-in-law to go to a neighbor down the mountain and asked for some fatty pork, vegetables, and rice bran.

Using these ingredients and some radishes left at home, Zhang Sanren made a delicious dish and invited Li Jingji and Wu You to have dinner together.

 The third one is here.
