Chapter 259 Another Uninvited Guest in the Mountain
It is sad to say that in the early years, the Fu family took a fancy to the impoverished Pan family and were willing to marry their daughter to the powerless Pan Dongliang. Even though Fu had a birthmark on her face, it was still considered high-class for the Pan family.
However, Pan Dongliang is a grateful person. Every year when his father-in-law's family is busy, he really does his best. Although he is not physically strong, his attitude and character make Pan Dongliang very proud in front of his father-in-law.
The turning point was the birth of Pan Bao.
At that time, the Fu family already had many children and grandchildren, but Pan Bao's birth still received all the love from the old man of the Fu family.
At the beginning, Pan Dongliang and Fu were grateful, proud, and wholeheartedly respectful and filial to the old man.
After Pan Bao entered elementary school and revealed his amazing talent for reading, things gradually went astray.
The more Pan Bao becomes outstanding, the more Mr. Fu becomes obsessed with him. Apart from arranging his grandson's marriage and career, he also develops a desire to change Pan Bao's last name.
Yu Song heard these before the provincial examination.
Pan Dongliang is an extrovert who is grateful for favors, but when it comes to children, he still can't get over it. He can't stand the old man of the Fu family wanting to control the child.
But the Fu family had been very kind to him and his child. In his struggle and pain, Pan Dongliang gradually began to distance himself from his son. Although he seemed to have not made a choice, he had actually made one.
This made Pan Bao unacceptable...
It's always a bad debt.
Yu Hongdou sighed inwardly, asked about the time and place of the dinner party, and thought about what to give to her cousin.
Thinking of the row of agate products that had been signed by wealthy merchants in front of the Peng family's door, she decided to just pick one out from there and give it to her cousin.
After talking about Pan Bao's dinner party, we moved on to Yu Song's dinner party.
"My brother doesn't plan to hold a banquet. He said we'd just have a meal in the village to avoid being accused of being arrogant." Yu Hongdou shook her head.
On the way back, her brother said that there was nothing to brag about being ranked 21st, especially when her cousin from the same village got first place.
"Cousin, you are too modest." Pan Bao knew that his cousin must have his own ideas, and the banquet in Taoyuan Village was not small.
"The banquet will be held tomorrow. If you are free, you can stay one more day and have a drink before leaving." Yu Hongdou took the opportunity to make the invitation on behalf of her brother.
Pan Bao naturally wanted to stay. Peng Qi was a lively person and he was very happy to have the opportunity to make new friends.
Yu Hongdou chatted with a few scholars, both civil and military, and then left it to Mo Shou to go back and talk.
She brought Wangwang and sneaked to the stream, ready to catch fish.
"We don't have any tools, can we catch it?" Tan Yanlin followed her quietly, and when he saw her lifting her skirt and preparing to go into the water, he asked.
"Yes, these fish hide under the rocks. You just need to turn over the rocks. But be careful, they run very fast~" Yu Hongdou whispered to the children from big cities.
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a stone as big as her head. Then a silver figure "whoosh" into the water and disappeared.
Yu Hongdou stood up and spread her hands towards Tan Yanlin, using facts to verify what she had just said.
Tan Yanlin nodded, lifted up the hem of his clothes and tucked it into his waist, then went into the water. He slowly lifted up a flat stone, and two silver spots were hiding underneath it, head to head.
When I realized the darkness above my head had disappeared, I was grabbed by two hands...
"Oh wow, your hand speed is pretty good~" Yu Hongdou gave Tan Yanlin a look of admiration, then went to turn over another stone unconvinced.
As soon as they got into the water, Pan Bao and Peng Qi, who had stopped chatting, also came over. Together with Mo Ding, Qian Sanmei and others, they soon turned the weak stream into a pool of muddy water.
Mo Shougui and the big guard stood far away, watching Wangwang rush into the water to join the battle, but got soaked for no reason.
Then, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the dog ran to the center of the crowd and swung its body wildly...
After a whole morning of laughter and fun, they also gained a lot.
In addition to the full basket of silverfish, Wangwang also made use of his strengths on the road, sometimes diving into the grass to pick up a rabbit, and sometimes running into the dense forest to catch a pheasant.
When they returned to the village, they had a great harvest.
"Oh, are you preparing food for tomorrow?" As she entered the house, Xu smiled, followed by Sun who came to help.
"Mom~ Second Aunt~" Yu Hongdou called out and hurried in to change clothes.
The others also had to wash up, so Xu hurriedly asked Aunt Qian and the others to prepare hot water and hot meals for everyone. When Pan Bao was about to take Peng Qi back first, she stopped him.
"Xiao Bao, come here with Master Peng to have dinner later." Xu's look showed that she would not refrain from refusal, which made Pan Bao nod obediently.
He had a rough idea in his mind that his aunt must have known the situation at home.
Peng Qi had also learned a little about what was going on in his friend's family these past few days, but since it was family affairs and involved elders, he had a lot of questions and things to say, but it was difficult for him to speak.
When I persuaded my good friend to accept the Ning family’s marriage proposal, it was also somewhat out of consideration for his own good.
Since the wife's family is strong, even the elders in the family cannot interfere too much. And getting close to family members is a matter for the rear house. As long as the couple work together, they will surely be able to break the current predicament.
But these have been turned over. Even though Peng Qi is a fool, he knows to keep silent when he should.
Just as they finished washing up, Yu Sanlang came back from the county with two teams of yamen runners.
Qingzhu went to the city overnight yesterday to report the case in the mountains. Yu Sanlang should have come back early in the morning, but something happened in the county again.
"Outside the West City Gate, a family was killed. They were all stabbed in the neck. I suspect some bandits have escaped here. Don't leave the village recently. Those people won't be able to hide for a few days."
Yu Sanlang came back for two reasons: one was to go into the mountains to personally check and take away the bodies of the mother and son from the Zongheng Escort Agency; the other was to inform the villagers about the incident.
With the village chief and patrol team around, he wasn't worried about the safety of the village.
"Dad~" Yu Hongdou glanced at Qian Sanmei and pulled Yu Sanlang into the main room.
Qian Sanmei picked up the small bag containing the fat snake and followed the young lady. After entering the study, she placed the small bag in front of her master.
Yu Hongdou looked out the window. Her cousin and Peng Qi were sitting at the doorway playing flying chess with Mo Shougui and Tan Yanlin, with Mo Ding and a few others watching the game.
Yu Hongdou recounted to her father exactly what they had experienced in the Bagua Underground Palace on the third peak, also known as Sandai Mountain, and then unfolded the little fat snake and placed it in front of her father.
"I think we can ask Wu Xingyun and ask her to think about whether her family has had any connection with the Western Regions in the past, or whether there are any special items from the Western Regions or something like that."
"I suspect that this mother and son, or the head of the Zongheng Escort Agency, are colluding with the Western Regions and are looking for information and clues about the Hat Fairy. They may have even found some." Yu Hongdou said to Yu Sanlang with some certainty.
At least they should have confirmed that the energy stone is related to the hat fairy.
