0052 welcome Zhou Tong
Xia Bolong and Zhang Jun were sitting in a carriage together and searched according to the address given by the boy. At dusk, they arrived at Yuejia Village, Liulin Town, Tangyin County.
As soon as I entered the village, the carriage of the two attracted many people to watch. They were all the most ordinary farmers, some carrying hoes on their shoulders, some carrying rakes on their backs, some holding shovels, some holding buffaloes, etc., and they all seemed to have just returned from the farmland.
The carriage did not stop in the village and went straight to the dilapidated temple west of the village.
Finally, the carriage stopped on the side of the road in front of the ruined temple.
As soon as Xia Bolong saw the dilapidated temple, he resisted the joy in his heart, jumped out of the carriage and ran straight in.
This is a land temple, which has collapsed halfway. It is true that the statues of the gods in the temple have collapsed, leaving only half of the land god's head tilted in the weeds.
As soon as Xia Bolong entered the Land Temple, he smelled a thick smell of soil. The beams and muds on the ground in the temple were everywhere, and green moss grew in some places, which looked particularly quiet in the dusk sunlight.
In a corner of the temple, an old man curled up and lay on the ground, snoring.
Xia Bolong saw the old man's white hair, his clothes were covered with dust, and there were several holes on his trouser legs. The old man was Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong's familiar back made him unable to forget. He couldn't believe his eyes. After only two months of separation from Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong had already become like this.
Xia Bolong felt extremely uncomfortable. He raised his foot, took a step forward, stepped on a small piece of wood, and made a crisp sound.
"who!"
Zhou Tong heard the sound, stopped snoring suddenly, woke up from his dream, his body quickly turned up and stood in the corner of the wall.
"Master, it's me!" Seeing that Zhou Tong's skills were still as quick as ever, Xia Bolong hurriedly walked forward.
Zhou Tong saw Xia Bolong and felt very surprised in his eyes. He asked in surprise: "Bolong? How did you... find me?"
Xia Bolong walked straight to Zhou Tong, and looked at Zhou Tong wearing tattered clothes and even his face was dirty. He hurriedly patted the dust on Zhou Tong's body, grabbed Zhou Tong's hand, and his eyes were full of concern.
"Master, why did you become like this?" Xia Bolong asked while slapping the soil on Zhou Tong's body.
Zhou Tong blocked Xia Bolong with his search, waved his hand, and said, "No need to slap it anymore. I'm used to it so comfortable."
"Master, it's not good for me. I shouldn't have taken all the gold away, I should have given it to Master, so that Master will not become like this." Xia Bolong said.
Zhou Tong laughed and said, "There is no need. Even if I give me 100,000 taels of gold, I will still become like this as usual."
"Why is that?" Xia Bolong asked curiously.
Zhou Tong said: "I gave all my money, didn't it become like this? I asked you, how did you know I'm here?"
Xia Bolong said: "I'm ramming."
"Nonsense! I'm hiding here, and few people know. Did the boys from Yuejia Village tell you?" Zhou Tong asked.
Xia Bolong waved his hand and said, "No, no, someone has seen the master come to Tangyin. I inquired all the way and found out that the master is here. Master, I came here to invite you this time, please go back to the capital with me."
"Beijing? It's a good place, but I'm tired of life there, and I'm still living here with freedom. If I'm hungry, I'll go to the field to steal something. If I'm thirsty, I'll go to the nearby river to drink some river water. I'll be happy." Zhou Tong said happily.
"Master, I'm going to get married in a few days, so I want to invite you to the capital to attend my wedding, and let your disciples be filial to you!" Xia Bolong said.
When Zhou Tong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Oh? Are you going to get married? Why is it so fast? Which girl from the family? Are you beautiful?"
"Beautiful, I can't be called a fairy on earth, but she is also a charming look of the whole country." Xia Bolong said.
Zhou Tong laughed and said, "Just be pretty..."
Seeing that Zhou Tong's speech came to an abrupt end, Xia Bolong looked at him again, and then asked, "Master, is there anything wrong?"
Zhou Tong said: "It seems that you have become more developed when you go to the capital once. What official position is he now? Are Lord Zong okay?"
Xia Bolong sighed softly and said, "Master, I haven't seen Master Zong. When I went to the capital, he was transferred. I am now the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion and often stand around the emperor."
Zhou Tong patted Xia Bolong on the shoulder and laughed: "Okay, okay, good, promising, better than being a soldier. Our Song Dynasty values culture and over military affairs. It is good that you can become a Grand Secretary of the Longtu Pavilion."
"Of course it's good. Did Cai Jing recommend it to me? However, I still don't tell my master the wonderfulness, so he can't get angry." Xia Bolong thought to himself.
"Master, let's go now!" Xia Bolong held Zhou Tong's arm and said to Zhou Tong.
"Go? Where to go?" Zhou Tong asked.
Xia Bolong said: "Of course I'm back to the capital."
Zhou Tong pushed Xia Bolong's hand away, shook his head and said, "I won't go. Bolong, Master is used to being wild and doesn't like being restrained. Logically, you come to me thousands of miles to find me, and it's your wedding day, I shouldn't have refused. But you also know that I don't like the capital, and you will feel a sense of depression when you go in. It's better to be in this wilderness."
Xia Bolong's eyes rolled and he said, "Master, it's getting dark now. Master and I have just met again. Why don't you go to the county town with me and I invite Master to have a good meal? How about this?"
Zhou Tong laughed and said, "It's so best, so best, I haven't drunk alcohol in a long time."
Xia Bolong hurriedly grabbed Zhou Tong and pulled Zhou Tongchao outside the dilapidated temple.
The master and apprentice left the ruined temple and turned Zhang Jun into a carriage and waited by the carriage.
Zhou Tong glanced at Zhang Jun, then looked at the carriage, and then laughed and said, "Bolong, it seems that you are really developed and you have servants?"
Xia Bolong said: "Master, he is not a servant, he is also a man. He is older than me and is considered my brother."
Zhou Tong looked at Zhang Jun carefully again and said, "This person has strong body, protruding bones, long hands and long legs, and is also a material for martial arts practice."
Xia Bolong laughed and said, "Master, do you want to try him? Let's see if he can inherit your legacy?"
"No, no need to try it. I have found the heir to the mantle. That person is a rare genius. Otherwise, how could I stay here and never leave?" Zhou Tong said.
While the two of them were talking, they arrived at the side of the carriage. Zhang Jun bowed respectfully to them and shouted loudly: "Grand official, Senior Zhou!"
Xia Bolong said: "Brother Zhang, please help my master into the car."
"Need not!"
Zhou Tong was confident enough, so he jumped onto the carriage with a light leap, lifted the curtain, and bent over and entered the carriage.
After reading it, Zhang Jun was shocked and said in a lost voice: "What a handsome light body skill!"
Xia Bolong laughed and said, "Brother Zhang, my master's kung fu is the best in the world."
"Boron! Don't brag, get in the car quickly, my stomach starts to scream!" Zhou Tong shouted loudly in the carriage.
Xia Bolong smiled and said to Zhang Jun: "Brother Zhang, get in the car and go to Tangyin County."
Zhang Jun nodded and got on the car with Xia Bolong. Xia Bolong walked into the carriage, while Zhang Jun carried the carriage and returned along the same road.
Xia Bolong and Zhou Tong were sitting in the carriage. Xia Bolong kept persuading Zhou Tong, hoping that he would go to the capital, but Zhou Tong was determined and refused to go if he couldn't go, which made Xia Bolong very helpless. In the end, Zhou Tong stopped paying attention to Xia Bolong and pretended to fall asleep and started snoring.
When Xia Bolong saw Zhou Tong pretending to be asleep, he shook his head, but thought to himself: "Master doesn't want to go to the capital, what should I do? Master is very nice to me and is considered my relative. In this era, I must take good care of Master. By the way, Master likes to drink, so why not get him drunk and pull him to the capital, and make a mature meal. When he wakes up, he will almost walk halfway, and that's a difficult time riding a tiger. Hahaha, just do it like this!"
Zhang Jun carried a carriage and rushed to Tangyin County from Yuejia Village. At this time, the sun set off the mountain early. However, since it was midsummer, although the sun was off work, it was still bright and the heat was reduced by half.
Halfway through the journey, Zhang Jun drove the carriage and met a boy carrying a hoe. The boy saw it in Xiangzhou at noon. At this time, the boy was still wearing bags of herbs on his hoe, and he walked forward with steady steps.
Seeing that the boy was very fast and seemed to be a trainer, Zhang Jun couldn't help but look at the boy a few more times. When he got closer, Zhang Jun felt that the boy was a little extraordinary, so he shouted: "Little brother, have you just come back?"
Out of politeness, the young man nodded, laughed with a hug, and said "um" and did not dare to speak.
When the carriage and the boy intersected, a huge voice suddenly came from the carriage: "Stop!"
When Zhang Jun heard the loud roar, he immediately strangled the reins of the horse, and the carriage stopped on the side of the road in an instant.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhou Tong walked out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, looked at the road behind the carriage, and shouted loudly: "Pengju!"
When Xia Bolong was in the carriage, he was startled by Zhou Tong's huge roar. Before he could react, Zhou Tong had already got off the carriage. He hurriedly followed him out. As soon as he jumped off the carriage, he saw a boy lowering his head and carrying a hoe toward the carriage. It was the boy who told him that Zhou Tong's whereabouts.
Zhang Jun also jumped out of the carriage. He and Xia Bolong looked at each other without saying a word. Both of them seemed to be saying, "So they knew each other?"
