Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Second: No Obstruction, Homecoming

There was a listener from the audience who opened his voice and smiled and said, "You old man, you are so sad! Last time you said that Changling County was fighting against tens of thousands of cavalry in the Northern Desert alone and fighting against more than ten great practitioners. You can't say what happened soon after that? Everyone said, right?"

Uncle Yan was obviously familiar with this scene. The old god poured himself a bowl of wine, letting him say hello, and enjoying it. In fact, at the end of each storytelling, the matter of keeping a joke is the ultimate trick of these storytellers. Only by squeezing the audience's appetite can you have repeat customers. It's just a good thing for listeners.

Gu Qingci swallowed, looked at Yan Bo on the stage with a confused look on his face. When did I fight tens of thousands of cavalry alone, and even fight against more than a dozen great cultivators alone. When did I become so awesome? Why don’t I know?

Why is this Uncle Yan so unreliable? He has to be a little more eloquent!

Gu Qingci smiled helplessly and walked over slowly.

Yan Bo, who was about to speak, suddenly glanced at a familiar figure. After a closer look, he immediately opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and stayed there for a moment.

Gu Qingci smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yan, why are you here?"

Uncle Yan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Mr. Gu... Lord Gu, you... you..."

...

After a while, Uncle Yan comforted the listeners, took Gu Qingci into the teahouse, poured a glass of wine for Gu Qingci, and then started talking slowly.

It turned out that Yan Bo's hometown was also Biyang Prefecture. After leaving Changling County, he followed the caravan all the way back. However, he had not been home for decades, and things had changed. No one knew him anymore. He came to this village after a round trip and worked as a storyteller in the teahouse.

After hearing Uncle Yan’s experience, Gu Qingci smiled and said, “Uncle Yan, you and me are really destined to be together. I didn’t expect to meet here again.”

Uncle Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, are you here? Is this the hometown of Lord Ma?"

"Yes," Gu Qingci nodded and said, "This village is really hard to find. It has been a few days since I came to Biyang Mansion to find this place. I haven't had time to die yet."

"This is easy to say," Uncle Yan patted his chest and said, "I have been here for more than half a month. I have known many people. I will definitely know after asking. Will we go now?"

"Yes, that's fine!" Gu Qingci nodded.

"Then you can wait."

Uncle Yan stood up and walked out, his momentum of enthusiasm did not change at all. Gu Qingci smiled helplessly, looked at Uncle Yan's hunched and old figure, and sighed slightly. He left his hometown for decades. When he came back, he would not have a wife or children. I am afraid that life will be difficult for the future.

Gu Qingci shook his head and did not continue to think about it. Instead, he slowly started drinking the wine. The apricot blossom wine was the wine he drank more and it tasted very fragrant.

Not long after, Uncle Yan came back and shouted at the door: "Sir, sir, I found it. Lord Ma is more famous here, and his family is easy to inquire about, right at the east end of the village."

Gu Qingci stood up, suddenly felt a little nervous and said, "Who else is there in his family?"

"Well," Uncle Yan thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there is a wife, a son of four or five years old, and an unmarried little sister, and there is no one else."

Gu Qingci trembled all over, touched the wooden box on his back, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Oh, when you leave, I not only owe you a lifetime of wealth, but also a debt to several people!"

This village is called Majia Village, and its surname is basically Ma. It is considered a village of one tribe. It is also relatively rich. It is much better than many villages in Changling County. From time to time, a few old cows call calf and a few dogs chasing livestock barking. This village has a different tranquility and leisure. A few young children first noticed the two strangers who suddenly broke into the village. They may be afraid of being angry, so they ran away after watching for a while.

Gu Qingci and Yan Bo walked through the village all the way. At the end of the village, they saw a yard, a small yard. There were several small wooden houses, surrounded by fences and cleaned very cleanly. There was a tree in the middle of the yard, which was a grapefruit tree, but this season has not yet produced any fruit.

Gu Qingci knew that Ma Shilian was a poor family, and he finally became a juren. At that time, his family gradually became richer. However, he went on a study tour and followed him directly to Changling County, and had not returned for three or four years.

Even if you become a Juren, you will not bring much help to your family. You are just a fulfilling and worry-free life. After all, today, a Juren has a very high status. If it weren’t for the prosperity of both civil and military affairs, the Juren would have a higher status.

Gu Qingci stood outside the yard for a while, thinking about how to inform Ma Shilian's family of the bad news. Yan Bo also knew that Gu Qingci was thinking, so he was rare that he didn't speak.

"Wang"!

With a barking dog, a big yellow dog suddenly rushed out of the room and rushed towards Gu Qingci and Yan Bo.

Uncle Yan was startled by the big yellow dog, hid behind Gu Qingci, exposed his head, and grinned at the big yellow dog provocatively. He didn't think this big yellow dog could hurt him in front of Gu Qingci.

Gu Qingci stood up and did not move, but when the big yellow dog rushed to him, his eyes slightly condensed and glared. The big yellow dog suddenly screamed strangely, ran away with his tail between his legs.

At this moment, a child suddenly rushed out and shouted: "Rhubarb, rhubarb, don't bite people!"

The child looked a little bigger than the little tiger head that Gu Qingci encountered in the 100,000 mountains. He looked very similar to Ma Shilian. He was a little thin. He hugged the big yellow dog's head, patted it, and said, "How many times have you told you that you are not allowed to bite people. You just don't listen. When my father comes back, he will stew you!"

Gu Qingci looked at the child from afar, feeling very upset. When he heard the child's words, he suddenly had the idea of ​​running away in panic.

"Sir," said Yan Bo suddenly, "That child is afraid he is Lord Ma's son. Look how similar he looks, he will definitely have a bright future when he grows up!"

"Yes," Gu Qingci took a deep breath and walked slowly into the yard, but he didn't take a step, and he felt very heavy.

Seeing Gu Qingci and the others, the child stood up and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Qingci stood at the door and whispered: "I am your father's classmate and friend. Go and tell your mother if you can do it!"
