Chapter 58 A Family of Three
Along the way, Wang Baole wanted to ask about the mask, but he knew that the matter was too big, and he felt that it was not safe to discuss it outside, so he held back, and planned to have a drink with his father at night before asking about it.
Not long after, the father and son arrived home and returned to the place where they grew up. The kind of intimacy made Wang Baole, who left Phoenix City with great ambitions a year ago, feel special.
Because of his father's archaeological work, the place where Wang Baole's family lives is not bad in Phoenix City. It is a small courtyard with a single family.
Although in terms of value, it can't compare to ordinary houses in Misty City, but in Phoenix City, it can be considered well-to-do.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Baole could smell the aroma of the food. His eyes lit up, he took off his shoes and ran over, and saw his mother who was walking towards with a plate of braised pork.
"Mom, I'm back!" Wang Baole cheered, and went up to hug his old mother.
"This child, please slow down." Wang Baole's mother looks about forty years old. Although there are some shallow crow's feet on her face, she can still see the beauty of her youth. After putting down the plate, he pulled Wang Baole to sit at the dining table, patted Wang Baole's head, and felt distressed.
"Baole, you've lost weight, eat more." Wang Baole's mother picked up a large piece of braised pork and put it in Wang Baole's bowl.
The old man who was taking off his shoes at the side curled his lips when he heard this, and shook his head in silence. He really felt that the reason why Wang Baole couldn't lose weight had much to do with his daughter-in-law's doting.
Soon, the three of them were all sitting at the dining table. After asking about Wang Baole's life this year, Wang Baole's father took out a bottle of wine and drank with Wang Baole.
"Baole, eat less and drink more, you know!"
"Come on, Lao Wang, my son toasts you. From now on, our family can rely on me. You can rest. Don't go out to dig this and that all the time. How dangerous it is."
Listening to Wang Baole's words, Wang Baole's father laughed and cursed a few words. This child still can't tell what is archaeology and what is tomb robbery, but his heart is very warm, so he drank it in one gulp.
Looking at the father and son, Wang Baole's mother was very satisfied in her heart, and her eyes were soft, as if these two men were everything in her heart.
"Mom, I'm really good now. I'm the only head of a university in the Law Department of our Taoist Academy!" Wang Baole happily ate a big mouthful of braised pork, and flaunted vaguely in his mouth.
"Our family, Baole, has been smart and handsome since he was a child. It's only natural to be a schoolmaster. By the way, Baole, what is a schoolmaster?" Wang Baole's mother asked curiously as she picked another piece of meat for Wang Baole with a smile.
Wang Baole quickly took the trouble to popularize to his old mother what a school head is. Soon, Wang Baole's mother was surprised, and even Wang Baole's father had a look of disbelief.
"I said why some time ago, the city lord brought a lot of people to visit us... It turns out that our Baole is so powerful." Wang Baole's mother joked with a smile, and told Wang Baole that in the past few months, the city lord and deputy of Phoenix City The city lord has been here several times, and every time he comes, he asks about his health and brings many gifts.
"Deputy city lord? Well, his son is now my subordinate." Wang Baole proudly raised his right hand, and shook the bracelet on his wrist in front of his parents.
"Let's not talk about this, you see, this is a storage bracelet. I answered the question of the elder of the upper house, and he rewarded me." Said, Wang Baole took out a lot of ice spirit water in a flash And pills, and some magic tools, gave parents.
"This is ice spirit water, a specialty of our Taoist monastery. It's very delicious. You should try it."
"Also, you keep these pills. I bought them from the alchemy department in the Taoist temple. They can strengthen your body and cure all kinds of diseases. Mom, you are not in good health. Take more. Dad, every time you go Archeology, I also brought some, and I will exchange some better ones for you when I come back next time."
"And these instruments are all made by myself. Dad, this is for you. Mom, you take these and wear them on your body."
Seeing Wang Baole studying away from home for a year, getting such grades, and possessing such filial piety, Wang Baole's parents were very warm in their hearts, and a warm atmosphere permeated the family of three.
After eating a meal for a long time, Wang Baole told his parents about every bit of his life this year, except for some things that he feared his parents would worry about. In the end, Wang Baole's mother smiled while cleaning up the dishes.
"Don't keep bickering with Du Min. I think Du Min's child is pretty good, and Zhou Xiaoya you mentioned just now. Later, you can bring her back for mom to see."
"No problem, I'll bring you one every year from now on, not the same one." Wang Baole also had a little too much to drink, and at this moment he raised his neck and said proudly.
"Baole, you are quite capable." Wang Baole's mother glared at him, while Wang Baole's father picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face, as if thinking of himself when he was young.
"That's right, mother, I learned this from my father." Wang Baole coughed dryly. As soon as he said the words, the father next to him almost spit out a mouthful of wine. He quickly explained, and it took a long time to resolve the matter. With Wang Baole.
Wang Baole chuckled, and quickly filled his father with wine. While the father and son were drinking, Wang Baole thought for a while, he knew that the black mask had a good history, but he didn't want his parents to be involved in any possible danger, so He didn't tell him about it, but asked around.
"You said you stole the mask? Huh, little brat, I haven't troubled you about this yet, that's all, you can take it if you like."
"This mask... Let me think about it. Last year, when I went out with the archaeological team, I picked it up when I went to a ruin at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain in Chiyun Rain Forest. After I came back, I checked it and found that it was not a fragment of spiritual energy. It was of no value, so I spent money to buy it, and I was going to study the age, but before I could do the research, it was stolen by you." Wang Baole's father drank a little too much, and his speech was a little vague, but it was finally Tell the origin of this mask.
Wang Baole asked again about the specific location of the ruins and whether there were other mask fragments, and got the answer. After knowing that there was only this one mask, he helped his drunk father back to his room, and returned to his hut, where he lay , Looking at the moon outside the window, lost in thought.
"Chiyun Rainforest..." Wang Baole felt that he seemed to have a special affinity with Chiyun Rainforest. At this moment, he outlined the location described by his father in his mind. After roughly confirming the location, he planned to wait for himself to be stronger and find a chance to go alone. have a look.
There was nothing to say all night, and half a month passed soon.
For the past half month, Wang Baole mostly stayed at home with his parents, and even if he went out occasionally, he would accompany his mother to go grocery shopping, or go to the archaeological team with his father.
Life seems to be no different from the vacation before he was admitted to the Taoist monastery. Wang Baole felt that this was quite comfortable. At his request, his parents also took some pills that he brought back, whether it was physical or appearance. At this age, there have been some changes, and it seems that even the spirit has improved a lot.
This made Wang Baole very happy. Many of his magic weapons were worn by his parents. Under his protection, Comrade Wang, even if he encounters a fierce beast in the sealed state, he will have a certain amount of self-preservation.
A few days later, at noon on this day, Wang Baole, who had just finished his meal and was lying on the small bed rubbing his stomach to calm his stomach, received a notice of a class reunion.
It wasn't a gathering in the Daoist Academy, but a reunion initiated by the basic school he was in before he was admitted to the Daoist Academy. With this holiday, each of them returned.
"Party?" Wang Baole sat up from the cot, looked at the sound transmission ring, his eyes lit up, he quickly got up, changed his clothes, greeted his mother with anticipation, and left the house .
This was Wang Baole's first classmate reunion after graduating from the basic school, and the venue of the reunion was also deliberately arranged by the initiator, choosing Wenya Winery, which is second to none in Phoenix City.
When he came to the winery, Wang Baole saw Du Min who had just arrived. Compared with the uniform academic robes in the Taoist academy, Du Min was wearing fashionable clothes and ponytails. He looked fresh and beautiful. After arriving at Wang Baole, Du Min stared at him habitually.
"I'm talking about Baner, why do you always stare at me? I didn't mess with you today!" Wang Baole quit.
Du Min didn't know why, but when she saw Wang Baole, she couldn't help but glared at him. At this moment, she snorted and raised her head, walking past Wang Baole like a proud little peacock.
"Sure enough, a small chest means a small mind!" Wang Baole muttered, and walked into the winery, and saw a semi-enclosed private room in the hall, which is now full of people, laughing and chatting with each other.
Especially there was a young man inside, dressed in formal attire, with a very dignified appearance. At this moment, he raised his hand as if he was pointing the country, and his laughter was even louder. After noticing Wang Baole and Du Min, the young man turned his head and looked at Wang Baole. After sweeping it over, it lit up in Du Min's place.
"Squad leader, you are finally here." The young man smiled and asked the people around him to move their seats. He was very enthusiastic, but he just nodded to Wang Baole and didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing this difference in treatment, Wang Baole blinked, thinking that the relationship with the other party was very ordinary when they were in school, so he didn't take it seriously, and sat down.
