Chapter 64 Hitting the Road

After listening to Liu Qian's words, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel silent in her heart. Yes, no matter what she did at home, her family would take care of her. Now that she has to stay away, she has to do everything by herself. Even if her second brother is around, she still has to do everything. Sadly, my sister-in-law's words hit the point.

Liu Qian felt very relieved when she saw Zhang Xiaohua's thoughtful expression. She stepped forward and touched Xiaohua's head and said, "Take your time, I think Xiaohua will be able to adapt."

Zhang Xiaohua raised her head, smiled brightly, and said firmly: "Yes, sister-in-law, I will definitely do it."

Zhang Xiaolong also came over, took out two banknotes from his arms, handed them to Zhang Xiaohu, and said: "Xiaohu, these are the banknotes I got in Lu Town last time. They have never been used. You can take two. If no one comes to pick it up for such a long time, I guess it won’t come again.”

Zhang Xiaohu didn't answer, but turned to look at Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei, and said, "Dad, mother, we'd better not take this banknote. After all, it's not our family's. If someone comes to take it, wouldn't we have no money to give it to them?" ? Are you just looking for trouble for your family?"

Guo Sufei sighed, took out a handkerchief from her arms, opened it, and found some scattered silver in it. She handed it to Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, this is the money our family has saved. You go out with Xiaohua, don't be too nervous." Save the flowers and put your health first in everything. We don’t need so much at home, so just take it.”

Zhang Xiaohu took the handkerchief and wanted to take out a few and hand them to his mother, but Guo Sufei put them back, then carefully wrapped them up and put them in his arms.

When Zhang Xiaolong saw that Zhang Xiaohu didn't accept the banknote, he took out the Miao Miao Sect's token from his arms and said, "Xiaohu, forget it if you don't take the banknote. You must bring this token with you, otherwise, if you go, I will The Piaomiao Sect doesn’t know you either. If you take the token and find Xue Nuxia, your chances will be greater."

Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and said: "Brother, this token was given to us by Xue Nuxia for self-defense. It should not be used for other purposes. Relying on Xue Nuxia's relationship to join the Piaomiao Sect, that is not our own ability. I think it is still We have to rely on our own strength, otherwise it is not good for Xue Nuxia to misunderstand us. What’s more, the bullies from Lu Town and the bandits from Xicui Mountain may come to us one day, and there is a high probability that they will ask us again. We rely on this token to get through the difficulties. The purpose of Xiaohua and I going to Pingyang City is to practice martial arts and protect the safety of our family, so we took away the life-saving things at home for no reason."

Before Zhang Xiaohu finished speaking, someone outside praised him: "What a great ambition, Xiaohu said it right. Everything is good only when you have to rely on your own ability. Relying on others is never true."

When everyone turned around, they realized that Mr. Liu had come to see off Zhang Xiaohu and the others.

Mr. Liu walked up to them, touched Zhang Xiaohua's head with one hand, patted Zhang Xiaohu's shoulder with one hand, and said with satisfaction: "You are all good children. You must be careful when you go out. Remember how much you pay." Sweat can bring you rewards. Don't do opportunistic things, and don't do things that endanger your life. Remember that you are not alone in this world. Behind you are your parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and other relatives who are watching and waiting for you. After you go out, you must think carefully about anything before you go out, and you cannot act blindly. It is good to be passionate and impulsive, but it must be within your own capabilities."

After saying that, he also took out a banknote from his arms, handed it to Zhang Xiaohu and said: "This is a little savings of mine. When you go out, uncle has nothing to give as a gift, so take this in case of emergency."

Zhang Xiaohu still didn't dare to accept it. He turned to look at Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei. Zhang Cai said: "My dear, you don't need this. The money has already been given to Xiaohu. I guess it is enough. We have accepted your kindness. The banknote is It’s better to put it away.”

Mr. Liu chuckled and said: "My relatives, it seems that you still treat me as an outsider. I will live with you from now on. Why should we share it with you? It's useless for me to hold this banknote. Why don't I give it to Xiaohu?" , let them hold it and use it if they don’t need it.

Just pay me back when you come back. "

Liu Qian also said: "Dad is right, Xiaohu, just keep it. At worst, you can return it when you go home."

Zhang Cai didn't speak anymore. Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while, raised his hand to take it, held it in his arms and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Mr. Liu then smiled with satisfaction.

That night, everyone sat in the main room of the Zhang family, and talked a lot under the flickering oil lamp. Mr. Liu talked about all the things he knew and heard about things to pay attention to when going out, and Guo Sufei talked about things about life. They kept saying it again and again, until Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua's ears were scratched with calluses, and they didn't disperse until everyone was yawning.

In her grandmother's cabin, Zhang Xiaohua talked about her grandmother and slowly fell asleep.

Zhang Xiaohu, however, was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He had no purpose in going to Pingyang City. He just felt his own shortcomings when it came to Liu Yueyue. He wanted to venture out into the world and find his own way. Being disturbed by Zhang Xiaohua made him feel uncomfortable. Practicing martial arts is a bright road, but he has no idea how to do it. No one in his family has traveled far, so he doesn't know about it. Mr. Liu and Liu Kai both studied literature, so there is no doubt in this aspect. There is no advice to refer to, and apart from the bandits and the Evil Tiger Gang in Xicui Mountain, there is no one in the ten miles and eight villages that can be inquired about. Zhang Xiaohua can naturally sleep soundly, but he has to think carefully, otherwise, when the time comes Pingyang Cheng's eyes darkened. He had to go home after spending all his money. Suddenly, he was excited. Could it be that his father and mother also had the same idea?

The next morning, Zhang Xiaohua still woke up early. After washing his face, he went to the hillside to fetch water and filled the water tank at home, hoping to do more work for the family before leaving.

When Guo Sufei got up, she found Zhang Xiaohua working. Her heart felt warm, but her eyes were red. While she was thinking about her son growing up, she was really reluctant to let him go.

After breakfast, Zhang Cai and his family went to pay homage to his grandfather and grandmother's graves, and then came back to pack their bags and prepare to set off.

In fact, the suitcases had already been packed, but they just checked again. Everyone took their suitcases and went out together, and Mr. Liu followed them.

Most of the people in the village had gone to work in the fields. Occasionally they met some people while walking on the road. Seeing Zhang Xiaohu's appearance, they knew he was about to go out, so they all came over to say hello and give instructions.

In this way, we slowly walked to the entrance of the village.

It was time to say goodbye. Zhang Xiaolong gave the slightly larger package to Zhang Xiaohu to carry on his back, while Liu Qian carried the smaller package to Zhang Xiaohua. Guo Sufei straightened the clothes of Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua, but her tears had already started. The flow was flowing down, and he kept telling the two of them: "Go out and pay attention to safety. If it doesn't work, come back early."

Zhang Cai said nothing, looking at the two people lovingly, with red eyes.

Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua became a little impatient and said, "It's nothing, mother, we're just going out. Although we haven't been to Pingyang City, we are still old and it's time to see the world. You don't have to worry, we I’ll take care of myself.”

Seeing the child like this, Guo Sufei became more and more worried and said, "Son, don't be too careless, be careful in everything. Xiaohua is still young, Xiaohu must take good care of his brother, and don't let Xiaohua suffer any grievances."

Zhang Xiaohu repeatedly promised his mother that he would not let Zhang Xiaohua suffer, but Guo Sufei did not mention it.

Zhang Cai looked at the sky, stepped forward and said, "My child, don't say any more, let them go quickly, they have to catch the car in Lu Town, don't waste time."

Guo Sufei thought about it and let go. Zhang Xiaolong, Liu Qian and Mr. Liu also stepped forward to give instructions. Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua then took their burdens and set off on the road. After walking dozens of steps, when they looked back, the mountain The wind blew Guo Sufei's white hair, and Zhang Xiaohua's calm heart suddenly became turbulent. He, who had always felt that he was strong, couldn't help but shed tears. The tears flowed down and he couldn't stop them.

Zhang Xiaohua threw down the baggage, turned around and ran back. She immediately threw herself into her mother's arms and hugged Guo Sufei tightly.

Guo Sufei also hugged her youngest son and started crying. After coming over for a while, Zhang Xiaohua let go of her hand. Guo Sufei said tentatively: "Xiaohua, why don't you go and stay with your mother at home, okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head, wiped her tears with her hands, and said, "No, mother, I must go. This is the last time I cry. I don't want to cry anymore, let alone see my family members cry, even myself." Even if it bleeds, I don’t want you to bleed. Trust my mother, I will do it. Just wait and see your son’s efforts."

Guo Sufei wiped her tears, nodded and said, "I believe, Xiaohua, you will do it, you will not let us down."

Zhang Cai's tears also flowed down quietly, but he quickly wiped them away.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at her family again, wanting to remember them deeply in her heart, and then turned to leave. At this time, Zhang said: "Wait a minute."

Zhang Xiaohua stopped and looked at her father strangely.

Zhang Cai stepped forward, looked at his son, opened his arms, and hugged him tightly. Zhang Xiaohua smelled the smell of his father and felt very excited. Ever since he was sensible, his father had not hugged him anymore, and Not to be pretentious, I once thought that my father didn't like me, but now I know that my father's love for me is not inferior to that of my mother, but in a different way.

After a while, Zhang opened his arms and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Go, child. Dad and mother are waiting for you at home."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Dad, you should also take care of yourself."

Then, Zhang Xiaohua turned around and walked away, picked up the baggage, turned around, waved to everyone, and left firmly.

When Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua turned around and disappeared from sight on a hillside, Zhang Cai, Guo Sufei and others were still reluctant to leave. They looked for a long time, expecting to see their sons again.

However, they were disappointed, the familiar figure did not appear again.

Guo Sufei asked Zhang Cai: "Father, do you think the children will suffer losses outside?"

Zhang Cai said: "Don't worry, they will come back after they go out and suffer. Maybe soon, they will just think of it as going out to play."

It's a pity that they don't know that Zhang Xiaohua's step is not a simple step out of the mountain village, but a big step that affects the entire world.
