Chapter 218 Returning Home
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua lose his composure, Ou Yan and Qiu Tong were both happy.
Then, Qiu Tong smiled again and said: "Don't be so sad. Miss is just joking with you. Think about it for yourself, where can I find a banknote with one tael of silver? The denominations of the banknotes here are all five taels." , and the lady specially asked the accountant to go to the bank to exchange for it."
Only then did Zhang Xiaohua realize that the two elder sisters were making fun of her. However, the four hundred fifty-tael silver notes were also a full two thousand taels of silver. Zhang Xiaohua was a little dizzy.
He waved his hand involuntarily and said, "Sister Ou, isn't this too much? The big gang leader only gave me a reward of one thousand taels of silver notes. You gave me so much at once, and I feel my hands are burning."
Ou Yan smiled and said: "Actually, this silver is not just a reward for you in this martial arts competition. Last time you saved my life, you just got a hundred taels of silver notes. I really feel sorry for it, so I am more prepared." A little. And I heard from the big gang leader that you asked for leave on behalf of your second brother and planned to go home. You and your second brother probably won’t be able to save much money while you are away from home. So you can exchange the one thousand taels of silver notes for ten taels. One piece, do you plan to take it home as well?"
Zhang Xiaohua answered honestly: "Yes, Sister Ou, that's exactly what I thought."
"That's it, take all these banknotes with you and send them back to your family, so that they know that you are doing very well outside, and they don't have to worry about you all the time in the future."
Zhang Xiaohua still shied away. Although she saved Ou Yan's life, her brother accepted Zhang Xiaohu into the Piaomiao sect and gave her the Piaomiao step. This can all be compensated. Now Ou Yan has given her such a large amount of banknotes. If it is as mentioned the first time, it is only four hundred taels. Although it is a large amount for Zhang Xiaohua, it is still acceptable after all. These two thousand taels really scare Zhang Xiaohua.
When Ou Yan saw Zhang Xiaohua resisting again, her face was a little unhappy. Qiu Tong observed her words and quickly winked at Zhang Xiaohua and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, my only intention is to win glory for the villa, and it also takes away from your life-saving grace. , how can it not be justified? Besides, the Villa will use you a lot in the future. If you are serious, you will take the Villa seriously in the future and just maintain it more. I cannot say that your contribution to the Villa in the future will be just a few thousand taels of silver. It’s not enough.”
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua knew that if she didn't accept it, she would be completely ignorant. She immediately bowed deeply to Ou Yan and said, "Thank you, sister Ou. I will be disrespectful."
Ou Yan then showed a smile and said: "That's good, Zhang Xiaohua, my sister is also a person who knows rewards and punishments. If you didn't contribute to the villa, where would you be rewarded? Now that you have given it out, don't let your sister take it back."
After Zhang Xiaohua put away the banknotes, he asked again: "Zhang Xiaohua, since you have asked for leave from the gang leader, when will you go back?"
Zhang Xiaohua said: "In another two or three days, my second brother has just been taught by Master Wen and may need to consolidate what he has learned. I came to see Sister Ou this time because I want to ask for leave from my sister and go back with my second brother. .”
There was no reason why Ou Yan was not allowed to do so. Naturally, he agreed wholeheartedly. He even told Zhang Xiaohua to stay at home for a few more days and spend time with her parents. There was no need to rush back.
Zhang Xiaohua was also extremely grateful.
Ou Yan asked again about the dead and resurrected herbs in the medicine field. Zhang Xiaohua answered them one by one, and even impulsively almost told the story about the vitality of heaven and earth. Fortunately, when it came to her mouth, she remembered that she had stolen the "Worry-Free Heart Sutra". If Ou Peng knew about this, it would be very bad, so he shut up knowingly.
However, because Ou Yan was treating her like this, Zhang Xiaohua also secretly decided to help her solve the problem of seeds not germinating.
After coming out of the inner courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua had nothing to do. She first went to the place where she used to practice martial arts in the woods. After practicing all the boxing and sword moves, she went back to the hut to meditate and practice.
Naturally, you cannot practice by introducing Qi into your body, but you can practice by tempering your meridians and increasing your true Qi.
It wasn't until nightfall that the true energy in Zhang Xiaohua's meridians recovered slightly, making up for the loss in practicing the art of floating.
Since he was going to visit Guozhuang in a few days, Zhang Xiaohua didn't even go to the medicine field. Since the accident in the medicine field, Nie Xiaoer and others were much more diligent than before. Even He Tianshu often went to the fields when he was practicing Misty Steps. Help, it doesn’t seem to matter whether there is Zhang Xiaohua or not.
So Zhang Xiaohua mostly practiced martial arts in the woods and practiced mental skills in the hut. The woods were very quiet and no one went there on weekdays. Sometimes Zhang Xiaohua also meditated in the woods. He practiced the true energy of the floating technique. It took one day to make up for it, and he even felt that his true energy had increased slightly. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua also felt that he still preferred to practice his mental skills in the woods. The hut was too quiet and his true energy was stable, but in the In the woods, the energy is lively and lively, and there is a pleasant feeling.
On this day, Zhang Xiaohua was practicing Qi in the woods when she suddenly thought that Li Jinfeng, a fellow countryman, Mr. Li, visited her home during the Chinese New Year. When she went back this time, she wanted to visit Li Jinfeng’s home no matter what, so before leaving, He had to go to the academy to see Li Jinfeng. Besides, he had not seen Li Jinfeng for several months since he returned to Huanxi Villa. Zhang Xiaohua had a deep impression of Mr. Li who was not too snobbish, and of course he was willing to pay more attention to him. close.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua stopped practicing martial arts and hurriedly left the villa and went to the academy to find Li Jinfeng.
Zhang Xiaohua had never been to the academy where Li Jinfeng was located, so she found it after asking all the way. Coincidentally, Li Jinfeng followed his husband to go out to collect scenery, and he could not come back in the past few days. It was really hard to find Zhang Xiaohua. However, Zhang Xiaohua also gained a little bit, from the teacher of the academy There, Zhang Xiaohua still found Li Jinfeng's address in Lu Town.
After settling her worries, Zhang Xiaohua returned to the villa to continue her practice and waited quietly for Zhang Xiaohu. However, after waiting for three or four days, no one came. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a little strange, and she had already thought to herself: "It's not like good things come easy. "
On this day, Zhang Xiaohua was reading in the hut when she heard footsteps approaching her house. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile. Wasn't this pace exactly that of her second brother?
So he hurried to the door, opened the door first, and said with a smile: "Second brother, we are finally here."
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua suddenly walking out, Zhang Xiaohu was also startled and said, "Xiaohua, how did you know I was coming?"
Zhang Xiaohua said: "I have been listening to your footsteps for more than ten years, so I can naturally distinguish them."
"But..." Zhang Xiaohu was a little confused. He was still far away from the hut, how could Zhang Xiaohua hear him?
Zhang Xiaohua could not care about these details and asked anxiously: "Second brother, how is your internal strength training? Can you leave?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Of course I have cultivated well, otherwise how could I come to you?"
"Why did you wait so long? Didn't you say it would be fine in two days?"
"Well, the practice of this internal skill and mind method is really dangerous. When I was practicing, I was a little impatient and almost went crazy. My true energy went astray. Fortunately, the master was by my side, and I was only on the first level. It was very simple. This It didn’t cause any serious harm, and it took a few more days to warm it up, and then it was released by the master.”
Zhang Xiaohua exclaimed; "Second brother, there really is nothing wrong."
Zhang Xiaohu waved his arm and said: "Look, it's really okay. The reason why this Piao Miao Magic is the suppressing magic of our Miao Miao Sect, its power is secondary. It mainly cultivates to be peaceful and not prone to mistakes. Master said That is to say, I was too impatient, otherwise there would be no problem at all. Now that it has been warmed up, there will naturally be no more problems."
Zhang Xiaohua put a hand on his forehead and said: "It's still peaceful. Something happened at the beginning. It's strange that it can make people feel relieved."
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Forget it, it's all in the past. By the way, are you ready?"
Zhang Xiaohua pointed to the package on the kang and said: "It has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to come.
, let’s set off. "
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "That's great. I'm ready. Shall we set off now?"
Zhang Xiaohua jumped up with a smile, ran to the kang, picked up the package, and said, "Why don't you leave quickly!?"
The two of them walked out of the side door of Huanxi Villa. Two large maroon horses were tied to the tree in front of them. Seeing Zhang Xiaohu walking straight to the tree, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but was stunned and asked hesitantly: "Second brother, don't you You want to tell me that these two divine horses are the ones we want to ride when we go back."
Zhang Xiaohu walked in front of the horse, adjusted the saddle, and turned back to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Your guess is very correct, but there is no prize."
"Really!" Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed. He had never thought of riding a horse back to Lu Town. When he came back from the south, he was eager to ride a horse, but there was no chance. The last time he went to the Piaomiao Sect, he passed An addiction to horse riding, however, ended badly, as he was thrown down.
But even so, being able to ride home on horseback is more impressive than sitting in a carriage. Moreover, it saves effort in front of the carriage. It's really the best of both worlds.
Zhang Xiaohua walked to another horse and looked up and down happily. At this time, Zhang Xiaohu told the origin of the horse.
It turns out that when Piao Miao disciples go out, they usually have public horses as mounts. All they have to do is register and collect them, and then come back and hand them in after finishing their work. Zhang Xiaohu didn't know much about it when he first arrived, and Wen Wenhai only told him about it when he occasionally told his master that he wanted to take a carriage back. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohu originally planned to get a horse and let Zhang Xiaohua ride on the same horse with him. However, he thought that Zhang Xiaohua had long wanted to ride a horse by himself, so he tentatively asked if he could get an extra horse. Who cares about horses? When I heard that the direct disciple of the big gang leader wanted to get an extra horse, how could he agree to such a trivial matter?
Is this just flattery delivered to your door? If you don’t shoot, you won’t shoot.
Then there were two magnificent horses.
