Chapter 12 Chi Zhan's Hometown
Zhaojia Village is at least 100 kilometers away from Yong'an Town, but there are direct roads from here, and there are also horse gangs and caravans traveling to and from various villages outside the town.
In Zhaojia Village, Chi Zhan’s parents live in this village.
Just after coming out of the mountains, Wang An didn't know where he was going, so his first thing was to visit Chi Zhan's parents, and at the same time, he took advantage of his leisure time to plan his future.
Outside the town, there are horse gangs and caravans coming and going from time to time.
After thinking for a long time, Wang An decided to follow the caravan to Zhaojia Village.
There are many caravans coming and going in Yong'an Town, but not many people go to Zhaojia Village, and even if there are, they are unwilling to take Wang An.
In this turbulent era, there are often encounters thieves. No one is willing to take Wang An, a person who is powerless to carry. Even if he has the ability to carry him, he is not willing to take this risk. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one can guarantee whether Wang An is the inner support of a group of bandits.
Because of his soft heart, he brought someone with him and finally found that the other party was a thief and was not uncommon in this area. Therefore, the caravans are now very cautious.
It is said that there is no way out. Just when Wang An was planning to go to Zhaojia Village alone, a caravan was willing to lead him forward.
The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man from the age of 40. He had a silly and honest face, his eyes were particularly eye-catching and shining with a shiny look. His temples were bulging high, and he was carrying a stick-like object wrapped in cloth behind him. He saw that this person was a martial artist.
Wang An told him that he went to Zhaojia Village to visit relatives, and that he was afraid of meeting a horse thief, so he wanted to ask them to take him.
For some reason, after looking at Wang An, the man agreed.
On the way, Wang An learned from the other people that the team leader was Li Biao. This time they planned to go to Zhaojia Village to purchase precious raw materials such as tiger bones and bear paws.
"Bear's paw! Good bear's paw! Don't miss it when you walk..."
"A hundred-year-old wild ginseng, come and take a look..."
Although Zhaojia Village is remote, it cannot withstand the attractiveness of rich resources, and merchants can be seen everywhere.
At this moment, Wang An walked into Zhaojia Village with the Li family caravan.
A market was set up in the village for trading, which was very lively and the shouts of hawkers were heard one after another.
Zhaojia Village, as the name suggests, most of the people here have the surname Zhao. Wang An found someone at the market and knew where Chi Zhan’s home was.
When he arrived at the door of a somewhat dilapidated house, Wang An knocked hard.
"Who are you looking for?" The person who came out to open the door was a teenage child, looking at Wang An with a confused look on his face.
"Is this Chi Yan's home?" Wang An said to the child with a smile.
"Yes, yes, my father is Chi Yan..." Before the child could finish speaking, a sound full of energy came from the room.
"Nian'er, who?"
The boy turned around and shouted, "Dad, it's a guest, come to find you."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Wang An: "Young Master, please come in and ask."
When I arrived in the hall, next to the Eight Immortals Table in the middle of the hall was a middle-aged man in his forties. The middle-aged man looked tall and big, and he could vaguely see that he was somewhat similar to Chi Zhan.
Seeing Wang An come in, the man stood up and bowed to Wang An.
"Young Master is sitting here, I wonder what it is worth to look for me." Chi Yan's eyes were obviously wary, but he still asked Wang An to sit down very politely.
"Nian'er, hurry up and serve tea."
The boy nodded vigorously and ran into the side hall.
"In the lower house, Wang An, entrusted by his old friend Chi Zhan, I will visit you very much." Wang An said slowly and anxiously.
"Oh, after that stranger has been away for more than ten years, he will still remember my old bones. Where is he?" Chi Yan looked extremely calm, but he betrayed his inner shock by catching the edge of the table.
"Brother Chi cannot get out of trouble, but he has no choice but to instruct me to me. Don't blame me."
......
"Dad, the tea is here!" The child named Chi Yan carried a teapot and brewed a cup of steaming tea for Chi Yan and Wang An.
"Nian'er, go to your mother's place, and chat with the guests for a while."
After the boy left, Chi Yanfu said to Wang An.
"Is Zhan'er dead?" There was a sadness in his eyes that could not be dissolved.
Wang An was silent.
"I advised him not to pursue immortality at the beginning, but he didn't listen to me. Now..." When he talked about the emotional part, Chi Yan burst into tears.
Wang An didn't know how to comfort this old man who gave the black-haired man a black-haired man.
Wang An finally told Chi Yan that Chi Zhan was walking peacefully and that when he died, he only cared about his parents.
He told Chi Yan that Chi Zhan had already chased what he wanted and had no regrets.
The old and the young chatted intermittently in the hall for half an hour. The little boy named Nian'er appeared again, and he told Chi Yan that it was time to go for a meal.
After some exchanges with Chi Yan, Wang An already knew that this son was Chi Nian Zhan, and that he was Chi Yan's youngest son. After Chi Zhan went out for seven or eight years, they gave birth to a child again when they had no news.
Judging from his name, Wang An seemed to understand everything.
After a while, a woman in her thirties came to the hall, wearing clothes made of burlap and a kind smile on her face.
After Chi Yan's introduction, Wang An learned that this woman was Chi Zhan's mother. After the introduction, she inevitably made a lot of politeness. But finally she still remembered the serious matter and quickly urged Chi Nian Zhan to add dishes and cook.
Chi Yan's family lacks labor, so he lives a little embarrassed. He only brought three dishes and one soup. There was a dish that seemed to be wild boar bacon, which smelled fragrant and made people feel greatly excited.
After spending a long time in the cave, Wang An feels that everything he eats is very delicious.
Seeing the eating with relish, Mrs. Chi was very happy.
After dinner, Mrs. Chi also came to ask Wang An Chi Zhan where she was now. Mrs. Chi, who knew the truth, suddenly cried.
Wang An finally lived in Chi Yan's house.
In advance, Wang An ordered the little golden turtle to turn into the color of an ordinary pet turtle, and she was strictly forbidden to speak outside. So from now on, Xiao Jin quietly lying in Wang An's arms to sleep.
At night, Wang An gave the dozens of taels of silver he exchanged to the Chi Yan couple. So much silver made the Chi Yan couple jump, insisting on shaking their heads and not accepting it. You should know that their family spent only four or five taels of silver a year.
Many people in the village are also very wealthy, but the bottom one is still very poor. It is impossible for Chi Yan to hunt alone. It is very small to form a team to divide the money, and the risks are very high.
