Thirteen: Promise Homecoming for the New Year

Duan Wuji walked into the alley and hurriedly walked towards Beiguan in a roundabout way.

Duan Wuji took out a few coins he picked up from Hua Bao, walked to the door of a small restaurant, bought a dozen fire-roasted meat rolls, and hurried away while eating.

Duan Wuji walked out of the city gate of Beiguan in one breath and walked more than ten miles north. Seeing that no one was following him, he turned around and ran down to his hometown.

Duan Wuji used the Land Flying Technique, and he was as fast as flying along the way. Just after he ran for about fifty miles, snowflakes began to fly in the sky.

Snowflakes were falling more and more, and the sun was about to set. Duan Wuji braved the flying snow and ran wildly against the howling northwest wind. Because he was not familiar with the road, he didn't arrive at Duanjiaji until midnight.

At this time, Jiaji was already dark, with only a few scattered households still having dim lights on.

Duan Wuji carefully looked around to see if there was no one around, quietly pushed the door open, and then closed it again.

When Duan Wuji saw that the lights were still on in the main room, he casually opened the door.

Duan Wuji was dumbfounded when he saw his second grandfather kneeling on the ground, and his two uncles were also kneeling behind his second grandfather.

The tea bowls and teapots on the floor were smashed, and Grandpa Sanzu was sitting on a chair, sighing and sulking.

Duan Wuji came to the table and knelt down behind his two uncles. He said carefully, "Wuji paid his respects to the third grandfather. Why did the third grandfather punish the second grandfather and the two uncles?"

The old boss looked up and saw Duan Wuji kneeling behind the three people.

The old man laughed loudly when he saw it. "Second brother, since Wuji is back, you all should get up. Wuji! You should get up too."

The four people stood up, and Duan Wuji asked: "Grandpa Third Ancestor, why are you angry?"

Duan Changchun laughed after hearing this and said: "Wuji, isn't this because of you? Just now your third ancestor was really angry, and it scared me.

Now that I think about it, I regret it. I really shouldn’t have left you behind at that time. If you really had a problem, it would be hard for our family to explain it to your parents."

Duan Wuji smiled after hearing this and said, "Isn't this a good thing for me? Not even a hair is missing."

The Third Grandfather smiled when he saw it and said, "Wuji, why did they let you go? They didn't torture you, did they?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Torturing me? They don't have the ability, so they just rely on those four boys? Huh, I wanted to knock them down on the spot.

Later, I thought about it and changed my mind. I planned to visit their lair and make a little fortune along the way.

No, because the road is unfamiliar, wouldn’t it be late to come back?”

Duan Changchun saw Duan Wuji's coat at his waist at a glance.

"Wuji, doesn't the coat around your waist belong to that boy Huabao? Why did he give it to you?"

Duan Wuji laughed after hearing this. "Second Grandpa, you have really good eyesight. You can recognize it at a glance. Doesn't this kid's coat belong to that kid? That kid is the most damn thing. I peeled off his coat and wrapped it with money."

Son."

"Then did he let you peel it off?"

"You won't let him peel him? Aren't we going to do it hard? I smashed him to death with a chair and even dug out his fucking eyes. It doesn't matter if I let him peel me or not."

"Ah? Wuji, why did you smash the three people who passed him to death? You couldn't smash all four of them to death, right?"

Duan Wuji laughed after hearing this and said: "Not four, but five. There is also a big black man in the small white building. If I don't destroy them all, can I get their money?"

Grandpa Sanzu, I got into trouble. You can find someone else to buy a calf next year. It will be fine in a few years."

"Well, Wuji, that's great. You should treat these guys like this, otherwise you'll feel suffocated. We have other people at home, so why don't we buy the calves next spring and let someone else do it?"

Hey, Wuji? How much money did you steal from them?"

Duan Wuji shook his head after hearing this. "I was in such a hurry that I didn't even bother to count them. They are all here."

As he spoke, Duan Wuji took off the gown from his waist and placed it on the table. When he opened the gown, the white money was revealed.

Several people came forward to take a closer look, and saw that the silver taels had large and small pieces, totaling no less than a hundred taels.

"Wuji, now you are rich. The money you got is more than what we paid for six cows."

Duan Wuji took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the second grandpa. "Second grandpa, I have taken good care of you at your house. With these few taels of silver, you can buy some tea with the third ancestor and replace it with a new teapot. The remaining silver taels can be used to support the family."

"Hey, Wuji, you gave your life in exchange for the money, and you gave our family grazing cattle for such a long time. Why does our family still need your money? How will our family behave if this news spreads?"

Duan Wuji laughed after hearing this and said: "Second Grandpa, please don't refuse. This is my wish, Duan Wuji. If you refuse, I will feel uncomfortable."

The old boss smiled when he saw it and said: "I mean, second brother, I think you can just keep this money. When Wuji needs it in the future, can't our family return it to him?"

Duan Wuji took out another fifty taels of silver and put it on the table. "Second Grandpa, when I buy calves next year, you can give me a few so that we can put the cattle from our two families together next year."

Second Grandpa, do you think this is okay?"

Duan Changchun laughed after hearing this and said, "Wuji, it doesn't cost more than a few taels of silver to buy a calf. Why do you spend so much money?"

Duan Wuji laughed after hearing this and said: "Second Grandpa, don't you want to buy calves that are a little bigger? I, Duan Wuji, don't want to buy more. Ten calves is enough."

Otherwise, can it be used when plowing next autumn?"

The old boss nodded after hearing this. "Well, Wuji, you are more thoughtful. Next year our family will also have fifty taels. If we buy a calf in the first month of next year, let's let the two of us raise it together."

Second brother, please put this money away."

When Duan Changchun saw that his father had spoken, he had no choice but to collect the money.

Duan Wuji stood up. "Grandpa Third, Grandpa Second, and Uncles, please rest. Let's see you next year."

After saying that, Duan Wuji wrapped up the remaining silver and walked straight to his home with the silver bag in hand.

At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the ground was completely white. Duan Wuji walked straight to his door through the white snow.

By this time, it was already late at night. Duan Wuji knocked on the door and walked in.

When Liu Caihua saw her youngest son coming back, she immediately shouted loudly: "Master, don't sleep, Wuji is back."

Duan Yanqing immediately sat up from the quilt after hearing this.

"Wuji is back? Look, it's already midnight, so hurry up and sleep on the kang. It's quite warm on the kang."

Duan Wuji hugged his father's head. "Dad, please get up. I have something good to share with you."

"What's the good thing? Did you find a happy wife in the town? Or did your third ancestor give you something delicious? It's almost the New Year, and our family doesn't have any New Year's goods at all? Dad, I'm in bed right now

I’m worried.”

"Hey, what are you worrying about? Now that you're up, won't our family have all the New Year's goods?"

"How could such a good thing happen? Dad doesn't believe it?"

Duan Yanqing said goodbye, but still put on his clothes and stood up from the bed.

Duan Yanqing felt happy as he looked at his son in front of him. "Wuji, you've grown a lot taller! He's going to be a big boy soon. Boy, take it out and see if you have any good things."

Duan Wuji opened his coat and immediately revealed a pile of white money.

Duan Yanqing's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Boy, where did you get so much money? It shouldn't have been stolen from your third grandfather's family, right? If so, we will send it back to their family as soon as possible tomorrow. Our family does not do such ungrateful things."

Liu Caihua immediately became unhappy after hearing this.

"Master, I know the son I gave birth to. Don't you know what our son is like? How often has our son been stolen?"

Duan Yanqing nodded after hearing this.

"Well, I know that, our son is not that kind of person. Hey, Wuji, tell dad, where did you get all this money? Let dad understand."

So, Duan Wuji told his parents exactly what happened today.

Duan Yanqing laughed loudly when he heard the last part. "Okay, well done, Wuji, your martial arts training is finally not in vain. Okay, okay, I will buy new year's goods tomorrow. Let's sell him forty or fifty kilograms of pork, two

Bags of white noodles, our family will also have a good year."

Duan Wuji laughed after hearing this and said: "Dad, if we have so much money, why don't we buy him a pig? For more than 200 kilograms, we can buy him four or five bags of white flour. In addition, let's not buy less other things. This year

Let's live a prosperous year too.

If we can't finish the pork, why don't we cover it with salt and leave it alone to eat bacon?"

Duan Yanqing laughed loudly after hearing this. "Okay, Wuji, you are in charge this year, let's have a good year first."

Duan Yanqing put the money away as he spoke.

Duan Wuji took the gown from the table, lit it with a lamp, and immediately the room burst into flames.

When Liu Caihua saw it, she shouted loudly: "Erdan, what are you doing? You prodigal boy, that is such a good gown, why did you burn it just like you said?"

Duan Yanqing rolled his eyes at his wife and said, "Master, what do you know? This is called destroying evidence. Keeping that gown will sooner or later be a disaster.

Wuji, you did the right thing, okay, let's go to bed. After all, you have to practice martial arts tomorrow, and I have to go to the market."

Duan Wuji got on the kang and said to Duan Yanqing: "Dad, bring a few more taels of silver to the market tomorrow. Mom, let's each buy two new clothes this year."

Duan Yanqing nodded after hearing this. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Okay, go to bed quickly, it's already getting late."
