Chapter 658 - 658 Can You Bring Me Along?
658 Can You Bring Me Along?
When they returned to their hometown, their days were peaceful. Without any involvement in the sauerkraut business, Madam Cao raised many chickens, ducks, and rabbits.
They usually worked in the fields. Life was completely fine.
Hu Changyang could still study.
When it was almost dark, Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang returned. The two brothers carried a wild boar weighing dozens of catties.!!
The wild boar was actually still alive.
Madam Cao was overjoyed. Afraid that Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang would not recognize Su Xiaolu, she smiled and said to her two grandsons, “Shou, Yang, it’s your uncle’s daughter, Xiaolu.”
Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang immediately looked at Su Xiaolu.
Hu Changyang smiled at Su Xiaolu and called her ‘sister Xiaolu’.
Hu Changshou also smiled. He was older than Su Xiaolu and greeted her gently, “Xiaolu.”
Hu Changshou, who was already 18 years old, was a little tanned. He looked very similar to Hu Daniu. Because he had experienced a lot, Hu Changshou grew up quickly. He was calm and reserved.
Madam Cao called Hu Changyang away and the two of them went to settle the wild boar.
“Xiaolu, sit. It’s time to eat soon.”
Hu Changshou smiled at Su Xiaolu and went to check on the rice. The food was cooked, and the big pot of stewed chicken smelled good.
Hu Changshou washed his hands and came over to talk to Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, have you had fun in the past two years?”
“I have, I’ve seen a lot during my training outside.”
Su Xiaolu replied with a smile.
Hu Changshou was not married yet, and the house was relatively quiet. Madam Cao liked to be neat, and the house was clean.
“Xiaolu, are you planning to enter this fog this time? Can you bring me along?”
Hu Changshou looked at Su Xiaolu and asked. He felt his face heat up, but he still asked shamelessly. After eating that divine medicine, he and his brother could practice martial arts and were stronger than ordinary people. He knew that this kind of good thing was obtained from the world in the fog. There were too many dangers inside. He did not dare to go rashly, but if someone familiar with it brought him along, it would be different.
The Hu family had yet to repay them, and they were still asking for more. This made Hu Changshou feel very ashamed.
Su Xiaolu smiled gently and said, “How’s your martial arts practice?”
“Not good. I’m just a little stronger.”
Hu Changshou was a little happy and did not hide the truth.
“It’s good that you’re strong. You can help me. If you’re not afraid, I’ll bring you along when we explore the fog, but you have to make it clear to Grandma Cao that I can’t guarantee that I can bring you back unscathed.”
Su Xiaolu did not mind bringing Hu Changshou along, but she had to make it clear that the foreign land in the fog was very dangerous. If they encountered danger, she would not take the risk to save Hu Changshou.
Hu Changshou smiled. “I know. Thank you, Xiaolu.”
“Xiaolu, you should know about my mother. We can’t persuade her on this, but those two aren’t in good health. After they pass away, I’ll bring my mother back and completely cut ties with them.”
When Hu Changshou mentioned Su Xiaozhi, his expression turned solemn.
If Su Xiaozhi wanted to do that, there was nothing they could do. Although they had said those harsh words when they left, Su Xiaozhi was still their mother. She was soft-hearted. When they were at home, she had also protected them with all her might. They could not ignore Su Xiaozhi at all.
However, no matter how deep the mother-son relationship was, there was a limit. If Su Xiaozhi still wanted to be close to her two brothers after Old Master Su and Madam Wang passed away, she was destined to be at odds with her sons.
Su Xiaolu said calmly, “Let her choose her own path.”
She had returned all the favors of the past.
Different paths could not work together. Su Xiaozhi was her aunt and did not treat her badly. When she returned, she would visit her. That was all.
Just like Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang, they were also her cousins. They had also spent many happy times together when they were young. Now that she was back, she came to visit them. However, their future interactions would more or less depend on fate.
“Xiaolu, wait a moment. I have something to give you.”
Hu Changshou thought of something. He got up and walked into his room.
Not long after, Hu Changshou took out a letter written to Su Xiaolu.
Hu Changshou explained, “This is a letter from Second Brother Su. Previously, when the Su family occupied your house, I wrote to Second Brother Su. Second Brother Su replied and asked me to stay out of it. He even sent a letter. He said that if you or Big Brother Su came here, I should give it to you.”
Su Xiaolu took the envelope. She opened the seal and took out the letter.
It was Su Hua’s handwriting.
The letter said that whether it was Big Brother or Simei who went back first, they could deal with the old house and sell it. From now on, the Su family would stay in the capital. There was no need to keep the house here.
If any of the Su family clan’s disciples came to the capital in the future, they would naturally take care of them according to the situation. Therefore, the family clan would not have any objections.
There were also house deeds and land deeds inside. Su Xiaolu came back first, so Su Xiaolu would deal with them.
After reading the letter, Su Xiaolu understood what Su Hua meant. Su Hua could give divine medicine to Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang because he wanted to nurture them. No one knew what would happen to Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang in the future, but after eating pills extracted from spiritual liquid to improve their bodies, they would have an advantage over ordinary people.
At the very least, when disaster came, they could run faster than others. As long as they ran faster than others, they would have a chance of survival.
“Xiaolu, you must be hungry. Yang, hurry up and scoop the rice.”
Madam Cao and Hu Changyang returned to the house. Madam Cao smiled kindly.
Hu Changyang responded and went to prepare the bowls and chopsticks.
Madam Cao picked up both drumsticks for Su Xiaolu and said kindly, “I remember that you liked to eat meat in the past. Eat more.”
Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and accepted Madam Cao’s kindness.
After dinner, Su Xiaolu even tested Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang’s foundation. To her surprise, she realized that both of them had good foundations.
It was just that their internal energy comprehension was a little poor.
Su Xiaolu had also taught them internal energy. It was the same for her, but she had never taught them personally. Hu Changshou and Hu Changyang could not comprehend much.
However, under Su Xiaolu’s lead, they quickly understood what they did not understand in the past. They immediately became enlightened. Their bodies seemed to have opened up their restraints and could feel spiritual energy being absorbed. They circulated their internal breath a few more times and the feeling in their bodies became stronger.
This world had already been filled with spiritual energy from the fusion of foreign lands. Martial arts practitioners could expirate spiritual energy for their own use. With spiritual energy, their internal energy became stronger.
Su Xiaolu reminded the two brothers before leaving.
Hu Changyang was still a little worried. “Sister Xiaolu, it’s not safe to walk at night. Stay at our house for the night.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and waved her hand. “Thank you for your concern, Cousin, but I’m definitely not the one who’s not safe.”
After saying goodbye to Madam Cao, Hu Changshou sent her to the village entrance. As soon as Su Xiaolu got on the horse, she left.
Hu Changshou’s eyes were filled with envy. It was not until he could not see Su Xiaolu anymore that he turned around and went home.
