The next morning.
Xu Wenping was waiting at the village entrance.
A three-wheeled motorcycle came out.
The girl riding the motorcycle was about 20 years old. She had a ponytail and an oval face. She was pretty and her skin was very tender. Her cheeks were slightly red and had a little baby fat.
Although it was not the Mid-Autumn Festival yet, the little girl was already wearing a cotton coat because the wind was strong on the road. The camouflage color covered her entire body, making her look a little bloated. However, when she turned the motorcycle, she looked extremely valiant. “Brother Wenping!”
The little girl waved her hand from afar.
Xu Wenping nodded lightly.
“Brother Wenping, I haven’t seen you for two years. You look much more handsome.” The little girl’s eyes sparkled as she rushed into Xu Wenping’s arms.
Xu Wenping quickly dodged and said with a panicked expression, “What are you doing? You’re already a big girl. Do you still think you’re a child? You don’t know how to avoid suspicion!”
“Bah! Bah! Old pedantic!”
The girl rolled her eyes. Then, she looked at the small truck and her beautiful eyes lit up. “What good stuff did you bring this time? Is there anything 1 like?” “I brought you a weapon!” Xu Wenping smiled lightly.
The little girl’s expression immediately lit up, and she said, “What weapon? A sword! A machete?”
Xu Wenping pulled open the carriage and moved the wine into the tricycle under the little girl’s gaze. There were also some delicious food, but the little girl didn’t care at all.
The little girl who had been waiting for the end of the game pouted her lips angrily and said, “Are you lying to me, Brother? There are no weapons at all!”
At this moment, Xu Wenping smiled and took out a long brocade box. “This is it!”
The little girl immediately wanted to snatch it.
“Open it when we get home!” Xu Wenping said calmly.
“Good!”
Xu Wenping got out of the truck and went back first. He didn’t need to bring anything when he returned to Jin Hai City. It would be more convenient to take the train. After all, the road was too bumpy.
The little girl got on the motorcycle, and Xu Wenping sat in the trunk. He turned the accelerator, and the dust and sand on the dirt road immediately scattered.
The road up the mountain was not easy to walk on. The most narrow place was not suitable for motorcycles to pass through. Beside it was the abyss. The little girl had to wheel sideways. If she was not careful, she would fall off the cliff.
However, the little girl did not panic at all. Although the road was bad, she was already used to it.
She couldn’t help but tease Xu Wenping,”Brother, you don’t have to worry. My driving skills are great. I’m the only one who can ride a three-wheeled motorcycle up the mountain!”
Walking up the mountain, there were only three to five families still living there. On the narrow road, they could take the electric tricycle, but it was too weak to climb up the mountain.
The only truly safe mode of transportation was a two-wheeled motorcycle.
Those three to five families were all ‘old mountain travelers’ like Grandpa. Only one or two of them knew how to collect mountain products. The rest were like Grandpa and Grandma, raising cattle and herding sheep casually. They mainly could not leave the soil and water where they lived.
Xu Wenping couldn’t get a word in at all about bringing his grandfather to live in the city.
No matter how dissolute Second Uncle was, he had also suggested renting a house for the two elders in town, but the two elders did not agree.
The little girl in front of him was Xu Wenping’s cousin. In her early years, her name was Xu Xiaofang, and later she changed her name to Xu Houhui. When she was three years old, Second Uncle changed her name. After he was diagnosed with infertility, Second Uncle regretted giving birth to a girl.
Since Second Uncle did not care about time most of the time, and Xu Houhui’s mother was also a playboy like Second Uncle, Xu Houhui grew up in an environment where she had no parents and was looked after by her grandparents.
It was obvious to the naked eye that she was very cheerful, but she hated reading very much. Under the influence of her grandfather and Second Uncle’s genes, she was a combative person.
After walking through a difficult path, they arrived at their grandfather’s small manor. It was an elegant place. Although it was a row of rammed earth houses, it was very tidy. There was a big mastiff in the courtyard, and there was a large grassland nearby. There were some cattle, sheep, and horses grazing.
It was like a paradise.
“Grandpa! Brother and 1 are back!”
The tricycle stopped at the door. Xu Huihui shouted loudly and looked inside the house. Grandma was sitting on a small stool with a smartphone in her hand. The smartphone was playing pop songs. Grandma’s eyes were filled with her phone.
Beside her, his grandfather was lying on a rocking chair, enjoying the sunlight. There was a cup of strong tea on the table beside him.
“Grandson is back?
Grandpa’s eyes lit up and he immediately got up from his rocking chair. Grandma also put down her phone and came up to him happily. “Wenping is back!?”
“Aiyo! It’s been two years since we last met, and your body had grown a lot stronger! Aiya, looks like your parents didn’t treat you badly in the city.” Xu Wenping was slightly stunned.
Looking at his grandfather who was as strong as a bull, Xu Wenping scratched his head and said, “Grandpa… Didn’t you say that you were sick? It looks like…”
Grandpa was slightly stunned. Then, the corners of his mouth twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, “What illness can I get? It must be Second Brother, that bad boy, trying to swindle some money from your mother again!”
Then, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Why? If Grandpa isn’t sick, you won’t come back to see me?”
“Look! How can 1 not look!”
Xu Wenping was naturally happier when he heard that everything was fine. He pointed at the truck behind him and said, “This time, 1 brought you 200 catties of good wine. You can drink more for a few days!”
“Good wine!?”
Grandpa’s eyes lit up. He turned to Grandma and said, “Quick, quick, quick. Go and pack a few dishes. My grandson and I will have a good drink.”
Grandma nodded hurriedly.
Grandma was a typical little woman who would follow a chicken after marriage. Although the husband and wife loved each other, she did not dare to disobey Grandpa for many years.
“Brother! What a great gift!”
At this moment, Xu Houhui had already quietly opened the box. When the box was opened, there were a total of four items. Three of them were spiral rods made of snowflake iron.
The other section was the spearhead of the long spear, which was shining with a bright silver-white light.
Xu Houhui assembled the long spear. The 30-pound iron weapon did not seem to weigh much in Xu Houhui’s hands. She waved it around and then ran out of the door with the spear. “Grandpa, Brother, I’m going out to ride a horse for a while.”
Staring at Xu Houhui’s back, Grandpa smiled knowingly and turned to Xu Wenping. “This little girl was born in the wrong era. She has long learned my country tricks. If she was born in her early years, she would definitely be a female tiger general!”
“Don’t worry about her. Let’s go for a drink.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two motorcycles buzzed outside.
“Dad, Mom. Wenping, you’re back?”
Hearing Second Uncle’s voice, his grandfather’s face darkened. He looked around to see if there were any weapons he could use..
