Chapter 169 Da Niu Wants to Go Back to the Village
Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi held their bowls, not even lifting their eyelids.
He ate the pork offal by himself, his mouth full of delicious aroma.
Du Hao, who was already emotionally charged and about to burst into tears, smelled the aroma of the pork offal soup and suspiciously let tears of sorrow flow from the corner of his mouth.
He swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the bowls the two of them were holding.
Pang Dahai finished the last sip of soup, making a satisfied "glug" sound, before looking up at Du Hao. "You chose this path, what's the use of coming back to beg me now?"
Because he was busy with martial arts affairs, Pang You neglected to discipline his children, and they all went astray.
My son is finally feeling a bit better, so there's no reason for me to abandon him.
Upon hearing this, Du Hao immediately put on a mournful face: "Alliance Leader, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
We were blinded by greed, thinking we could make a name for ourselves. Little did we know how treacherous the world was, and we, a few small fry, almost drowned.
"You are so kind and generous; please have pity on us lost lambs."
"Pfft"
Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A little lamb?! Are Uncle Pang and Aunt Zhen sheepdogs or something?!
The three people in the yard turned their heads at the same time and looked at Lin Xi, who was washing cherry tomatoes under the eaves of the backyard with a basin.
Lin Xi remained calm under the gaze of the three men and quickly lowered her head to wash the cherry tomatoes. "You guys continue, pretend I'm not here!"
Pang Dahai's lips twitched.
Could you be any more fake...?
Seeing that he was being eavesdropped on, Pang Dahai didn't want to say anything more to Du Hao and impatiently waved his hand at Du Hao, "I've already said, your business has nothing to do with us now, I can't interfere."
After saying that, he took Zhen Xiaoxi out of the restaurant and prepared to go to the academy to find their "new apprentice"!
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Du Hao quickly got up from the ground and chased after them, shouting, "Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader, don't go! We really know we were wrong..."
Lin Xi watched the three people leaving the restaurant, then quickly carried Xiao Tomato back to the pork chop hot plate. She nudged Gao Mengli with her elbow and whispered the "gossip" she had just heard to her.
"Alliance Leader?... "
Gao Mengli looked on in surprise!
If Pang Dahai is the leader of the martial arts alliance, then the person just now must be a member of the martial arts world.
“No wonder they’re so poor…” Gao Mengli realized the key point and nodded knowingly.
Lin Xi looked on with curiosity, "Huh? Mengli, you know the reason??"
Gao Mengli twitched her lips, looking at the "naive and sweet" Lin Xi with a complicated expression, "Is it strange that you know the reason? It's so obvious that they're poor, it's not hard to guess the reason, is it?"
After all, for those who roam the martial world, to put it nicely, they are outlaws who travel the world with swords, helping the weak and punishing the strong.
To put it bluntly, it's "budget" travel.
"Without a proper job, you'll need money to travel, so being poor is normal."
Hearing Gao Mengli say that, Lin Xi looked at him with admiration.
"Oh, no wonder! So they failed to become heroes outside and ended up as beggars instead, which is why they came back to find their alliance leader, Uncle Pang?!"
No, perhaps they're not even as good as beggars.
Beggars can at least beg for food, but the chivalrous spirit of "heroes" does not allow them to lower themselves.
Gao Mengli nodded. "I guess so."
Anyway, she doesn't know the truth.
I don't know why, but Pang Dahai, who was perfectly capable of being the leader of the martial arts alliance, stopped taking the position.
However, these bandits, if they truly wanted to live with Pang Dahai...
Then it's not that she can't be taken in for her own use.
After all, there are plenty of two-legged men on the streets.
However, those who know martial arts are extremely rare and hard to find.
The two of them continued like this, taking turns talking, "slacking off" at work until closing time in the late afternoon.
After packing her things, Jiang Shuzhi quickly walked up to the two of them, hesitant to speak.
Lin Xi looked at Jiang Shuzhi, who seemed hesitant to speak, with a suspicious expression. "Mother, is something the matter?"
Jiang Shuzhi nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "Boss, I saw today that the pork offal soup needs a lot of white radishes. Could you... could you buy some in the village?"
The main reason is that her younger brother, Jiang Yuandao, also grows a lot of them.
Lin Xi slapped his forehead; he had almost forgotten about it. He quickly replied, "I was just about to tell you. I want you to go back and tell the village chief that from now on, forty catties of white radishes should be delivered every day, still at one coin for two catties."
"By the way, Jiang Ya?"
After saying that, Lin Xi turned to look for Jiang Ya and saw him in the backyard, taking over the task of washing the cutting board from the chubby girl.
"Jiang Ya, come here for a moment."
When Jiang Ya heard Lin Xi calling him, he quickly told Fatty, "Fatty, you rest. Leave the cutting board there, I'll be right back to wash it."
As he spoke, he quickly ran out from the backyard, "Cousin, what's wrong?"
Lin Xi gave him a meaningful look and coughed lightly, "You grow white radishes at home too, right? Bring ten pounds with you every day when you go to work."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes softened slightly. "Okay, sure."
He answered, then turned back to the backyard to wash the cutting board with the chubby girl.
Lin Xi clicked her tongue twice as she looked at his figure.
This cousin Jiang, I never would have guessed, he's actually a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.
"Father, Mother, Grandma!"
Just then, Da Niu came running in from outside, grinning broadly.
As soon as he entered, his gaze swept over Gao Mengli, and he ran over, about to hug Gao Mengli's leg.
Before Gao Mengli could react, she pressed her hand against the back of his sweaty head and said, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, stay away from me."
That brat, he's running around all sweaty and still trying to rub against her.
She wouldn't allow it!
Despite being blocked by Gao Mengli, Da Niu was not discouraged. Instead, he scratched his head with a silly grin and said, "Dad, Mom, Master Pang said that I should go back to live in the village from now on!"
So, he came to ask if he could wait until he finished school in the afternoon so they could go back together!
Lin Xi frowned, her face almost turning dark. "Why are you going back to the village? Aren't you going to school?"
Could it be that this brat is going to abandon academics for martial arts and drop out of school?
Seeing Lin Xi's dark face, Da Niu knew that his father had misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "Dad, I will go to school."
Master Pang wanted me to stay in the village and then run to the county town to attend school the next day, saying it would help me build a strong foundation.
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli exchanged a glance upon hearing this.
They both saw the "fortunate" look in each other's eyes.
Thankfully, neither of them had the brain fart to decide to learn martial arts back then; that would have been far too exhausting...
The two looked Da Niu up and down, his small frame swaying in and out. Lin Xi asked with some concern, "You've come all the way from the village to school? Can you handle it?"
After all, it takes half an hour to travel by oxcart.
It takes an hour and the time it takes to brew a cup of tea for an adult to walk from Wangyue Village to the county town.
This big ox is a ten-year-old child...
He was still somewhat worried.
Finally, he began to feel a little bit of the awareness of an old father.
Da Niu quickly waved his hand, his face full of excitement, "It's alright, Dad!"
Master Pang said that I started building my foundation too late.
Only by working harder than others can you catch up with them.
Therefore, I need to work even harder; I'm not afraid of hardship!
After all, he is already very satisfied with the fact that he is warmly dressed and well-fed.
Now, he can not only study literature, but also martial arts. Compared to his fellow villagers, he is very lucky.
He wasted such an opportunity; that would be a sign of being a failure.
