"Does Catcher Xing want to stay for a meal?" The aunt weighed the weight of the purse, wanting Catcher Xing to stay for the first time.

Catcher Xing hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, "No, no, I'll bother you another day, Xu Xianren, the county lord wants you to go to the county government."

"What are you doing at the county government office?" My aunt asked.

Xing Butou replied: "Xu Xianren has made a great contribution this time. The county lord thinks that Xu Xianren is young and promising, and he is a son of the Xian family, so he specially asked me to come over and invite Xu Xianren. There will be a banquet tonight."

The aunt heard that there was a banquet, so she turned her eyes to her nephew to ask. This is a rare event. In Lin'an County, there are not many people who can be invited by the county magistrate. The last time the Xu family was invited was Xu Zhiqiu. When Qingyangzong accepted him as a disciple.

Xu Zhiqiu refused again without hesitation.

He doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, one is that he lacks experience in socializing, and the other is that he finds it troublesome.

Xing Butou was not surprised by Xu Zhiqiu's attitude. After all, when he first returned to Lin'an County, Xu Zhiqiu said that he didn't need to hold a banquet for him, but he still wanted to try it after receiving the order of the county lord.

Before leaving, Catcher Xing pulled Xu Zhiqiu aside, and asked in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Xu Xianren, can I go to Zuichun Tower again in this body?"

Xu Zhiqiu knew what he was worried about, and replied: "Xing Butou, don't worry, you just sucked part of your yang energy, so you will feel weak and weak, as long as you rest in peace for two months, you will recover, and you can still do it at that time." things you like."

After getting the answer he wanted, Catcher Xing breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him a few words and left.

After Xing Butou left, Xu Zhiqiu went back to his hut. Not long after, he heard the old yellow dog barking in the courtyard. It should be that the second uncle came back. After a while, the second uncle learned from his wife that The matter of nephew knocked on Xu Zhiqiu's door.

Xu Anshan looked at his nephew and said: "I heard that the magistrate invited you to the banquet, I'm afraid it would be a little bad if you don't go."

He hesitated for a while and then added: "If the county lord feels that he has been swept away, he will hold you in his heart. Anyway, there are delicious food and drinks to serve, why don't you just go?"

Xu Zhiqiu heard his second uncle's words and knew that he was a little worried. His second uncle had been in Lin'an County for 45 years and was an ordinary citizen, so he naturally felt that he should not offend the county magistrate in anything.

But Xu Zhiqiu was not worried, "Second Uncle, don't worry, the county magistrate will not be like this."

Seeing that his nephew didn't take it seriously, Xu Anshan wriggled his lips and tried to persuade him, but in the end he gave up. He patted Xu Zhiqiu's shoulder and said proudly: "Okay, if you don't go, then don't go, no matter what Said you kid is really promising, 30 taels of silver, even if your second uncle and I are exhausted, it will be difficult to earn so much money."

Xu Zhiqiu smiled and said: "It's a lot, but it's not too much. I specially bought the high-quality wine from Xu Ji's house, and I will have a few drinks with my second uncle later."

Apart from carpentry, Xu Anshan's biggest hobby is drinking, his eyes lit up immediately, but this time he was not in a hurry to drink, but he sat down with his nephew and said: "No matter how good the wine at Xu Ji's is, , but Second Uncle, what I want to drink most is your kid’s wedding wine. You are not young anymore, and you have the ability to make money. It’s time to tell you a daughter-in-law. I have discussed this matter with your aunt a long time ago. But, I thought that the girl from the old Zhang family who sells silk in the street next door is pretty good, what do you think?"

Talk about marriage?

Xu Zhiqiu didn't expect that the second uncle would say this suddenly, and he was caught off guard, a little stunned, and said with a smile: "This...don't worry for now."

"Why are you not in a hurry?" said the second uncle, "You will be twenty after the new year, and you should start a family early while you have money, otherwise all the good girls will be picked up by others, and the rest will be bad. done."

Xu Zhiqiu was a little dumbfounded, but the second uncle said a lot of things on his own, and said that he had already searched for it, and he would definitely not disappoint Xu Zhiqiu.

When he sat down at the dinner table, Xu Anshan drank some wine and said the matter again in high spirits. His aunt also echoed from time to time, and even suggested to introduce his niece from her natal family.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't know how to answer under the joint offensive of his uncle and aunt, and in the end Xu Anshan was drunk to bring this topic to light.

…………

At noon the next day, Second Uncle Xu got up a little late because he was too drunk last night, so he had a quick meal and left home to work.

Xu Zhiqiu was practicing in his room when he suddenly heard a loud noise in the yard, so he opened the door to check and found a few ordinary people walking over.Among them was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. At first Xu Zhiqiu thought that this was the daughter-in-law that his second uncle had found for him, and he felt a little dizzy, but when he saw the last two hunters who walked in outside the courtyard, he realized I misunderstood myself.

The last two hunters who walked in were Wang Dazhu and his uncle.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiu coming out of the house, Wang Dazhu immediately said to the elderly man in front of him: "I didn't make a mistake, I didn't make a mistake, this is the house, and that young immortal is the benefactor who saved me."

The old man is over eighty years old, and she is Wang Dazhu's grandmother. When she saw her grandson and son sent home by Xing Butou yesterday, she learned from Xing Butou what happened in Wangxian Mountain. The whole family came to express their thanks. After all, this was a life-saving grace, so we had to come.

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was Uncle Wang Dazhu's daughter, and she was still carrying a basket of eggs.

Xu Zhiqiu walked over, and before he could speak, the old man was about to kneel down, which really shocked Xu Zhiqiu, even the aunt who had just walked out of the house.

Xu Zhiqiu stretched out his hand to help, but the old man knelt down and bowed no matter what: "Immortal, thank you for saving my life, if you hadn't saved my son and grandson, my old Wang family would have completely cut off the incense. .”

As he spoke, the old man wept excitedly and grabbed Xu Zhiqiu's hand tightly.

At this time, Wang Dazhu, who was still very weak, cupped his hands and said, "Immortal, I don't know what to say. Anyway, you saved my life. If you want Wang Dazhu's head in the future, I will have nothing to say."

Wang Dazhu's uncle took out a piece of wrapped old cloth from his pocket, and when he opened it, there were seven coins in it. He blushed a little and said, "My family is poor, and I almost lost my life when I went to see the fairy mountain this time, but I didn't get anything. I hope that the immortals will not be disgusted with this amount of money and goods."

Wang Youfa handed over the money respectfully with both hands.

The little girl should have been told by her family a long time ago, and she passed the basket in her hand along with her, probably a little nervous, her arms holding the basket trembled slightly.
