The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 579

[Chapter 579 Private Visit on WeChat]

. A certain village on the outskirts of the city.

Fang Xiu took a look at the sky. It was the time of day when the sun was the hottest.

Although it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, he was still very tired from running from the city to the outskirts of the city, then from outside the city to the outskirts of the city, then finding a village, and then coming back to report to the Emperor of Chu.

This time, although Emperor Chu wanted to pay a private visit incognito and take this opportunity to understand the people’s sentiments, he still fully learned from the previous lessons.

Whatever you do, be careful.

Therefore, two worshipers were specially transferred from the palace, one was a top master at the grandmaster level, and the other was also at the quasi-grandmaster level, hiding in the dark.

One protects his safety, and the other protects Fang Xiu and prevents any of them from being targeted by assassins.

Of course, the probability of this happening is extremely small.

Because this time they left the city, no one knew about it except the two royal ministers. Even when they left the city, they all dressed up in disguise.

After leaving the city, change back into your original clothes.

Their external identities are that one is a master in fine clothes, and the other is a young man in rich clothes. In fact, they are not much different from their original identities.

“Your Majesty, ahead is the village closest to our Kyoto city,”

Fang Xiu said, standing next to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu looked at the smoke-filled village not far away, nodded with a somewhat complicated expression, and said, “Okay, let’s go in and have a look.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Fang Xiu responded and led the people in front. road.

This time, they came to the village to harvest crayfish in advance for next year.

Fang Xiu had already greeted the village chief before. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw an old man with gray hair coming up to him.

“This is Mr. Zhao, right? It’s freezing outside. If anything happens, you can just send the people below to the village to let them know. Why go there in person?”

The village chief is obviously older than the old emperor. It’s big, but when you come up to it, your posture is very low.

Even when he saw Fang Xiu supporting the old emperor, he wanted to step forward and lend a hand, but of course Emperor Chu declined.

“There is nothing to do if you are idle in the house, why not come out and take a look. As you get older, you want to walk around and can’t sit still.”

Emperor Chu looked at the village chief and said with a smile.

When the village chief heard this, he was very confused. In the cold winter months, the happiest thing is to lie on the kang and drink a little wine. Who would think of running around, or in a place like this where no one comes

? That’s what he thought, but when he heard the old emperor’s words, he still smiled and said: “Mr. Zhao’s words are reasonable. I am the same old man. The older I get, the more I can’t sit still and always want to walk around.

At this point, he paused and then faced Emperor Chu and said, “It’s really cold outside. If Mr. Zhao has any instructions, you’d better go inside and say it first.”

“Okay”

This

time, Emperor Chu didn’t refuse. , but nodded.

“The old man’s house is in the front. Please pay attention and be careful on the road under your feet. It’s the coldest month of winter. Once the mud freezes, it’s easy to slip

. The day before yesterday, Old Liu from the east of the village fell and entered. I have visited several doctors in the city, but they have not returned yet. I heard that it will take ten days and a half months, what do you think?”

The village chief led the way, chatting as he walked.

Emperor Chu followed behind, listening and echoing from time to time.

Fang Xiu supported Emperor Chu, fearing that he would accidentally fall like Old Liu from the east of the village.

By then, if the old emperor did not die in the hands of Prince Ning, but ended up falling to death here, then he would have arrived at

the village chief Lulu’s house, which was not far from the entrance of the village. He only walked for about a stick of incense. A hut can be seen.

There is a fence made of wooden sticks in front of the hut, which can barely be regarded as a yard.

Emperor Chu looked at the hut, his expression changed a bit, he glanced at Fang Xiu, then at the village chief, and asked: “Old man, this is where you usually live?”

The village chief obviously did not expect that Emperor Chu would Asked such a question, I was stunned. When I turned around and saw the expression of Emperor Chu, I understood something and said with a smile: “My wife died early, and I only have one son in the family. A few years ago, he was drafted and sent to the four northern states to build city walls.” I went and didn’t come back for many years.

It’s enough for the old man to live in such a big house alone, but I feel wronged by Mr. Zhao.”

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and seemed a little sad.

Sighing, he smiled, looked at Mr. Zhao, and said: “It’s really aggrieved for a distinguished guest like Mr. Zhao to stay in this shabby house.

By the way, Lao Liu has gone to the city, and his house is still empty. The houses are all made of bricks.

Let’s take Mr. Zhao to his house for a while.”

After saying that, he turned around and took the old emperor to the east of the village.

When Emperor Chu saw this, he had mixed feelings. For a moment, he didn’t even know what to say.

Fang Xiu, who was next to him, reacted first and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the village chief and said with a smile: “My uncle, that’s not what he meant. Village chief, you misunderstood.

You also said that it’s cold outside, so let’s talk inside first.” “

With that said, he helped the old emperor and walked into the hut made of thatch and mud.

When the village chief saw this scene, he naturally did not refuse, but followed him in.

Although it is noon, when the sun is hottest.

But because the paper window is too dim, and there is only one.

The room still seemed too dark inside.

After the village chief entered, he first moved out two chairs and invited Emperor Chu and Fang Xiu to sit down. Then he went to look for the candle. It took him a while to find half of it. After lighting it, he placed it in front of the old emperor.

The candlelight flickered, reflecting the old emperor’s aging face, which looked uncertain.

It wasn’t until the village chief finished his work and looked at him that the old emperor’s expression softened slightly.

He smiled, looked at the village chief, and said: “Why don’t you sit down, old man?”

The village chief smiled and said: “The doctor said that the old man’s legs and feet are not good, so he has to stand more. The more he sits, the more he will sit down.” The more uncomfortable it is.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chu had a look of surprise on his face.

I never thought that there is such a disease in this world.

It seemed that I had some problems myself. On weekdays, I always felt pain in my legs and feet when I sat down, but nothing happened when I stood up. I turned around and asked the doctor to see if he had the same disease as this old man.

Fang Xiu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

He stood up from the chair and said, “My master doesn’t like to raise his head and look at other people talking. Please forgive me, old man, but you’d better sit down.”

After saying that, he gave up his chair to the village chief.

Emperor Chu felt a little angry when he heard what he said.

For the first time, he felt that what Fang Xiu did was a bit outrageous. People had already said that his legs and feet were inconvenient. Why did he still

think of this? He was slightly startled and suddenly remembered something.

Looking into the room, I realized that there were only two chairs in the room
