i'm not a bad man

Chapter 386 Such a night

When night fell, a tractor and two SUVs were speeding in the open space at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the stars and the distant smoke, I really felt the happiness of going home!This was the first time I felt like this after so many years of wandering. So many times, I almost passed the tractor driven by my godfather. Because I knew the road, I had no patience to follow a tractor.

Lu Xi's speed was not slow either. It seemed that after several days of exhaustion, she was in urgent need of a place to stop and rest.

Although the village where my godfather and godmother live is not big, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, all the families have lit up all the lights they can, so the moment I entered the village, I actually felt an atmosphere of thousands of lights. .

This of course makes me feel obsessed, because I know that my godmother has prepared a table of my favorite dishes, as well as my godfather's old wine.

……

Just as my godfather thought, the moment my godmother saw Lu Xi, she was stunned for about ten seconds. She was very unsure and didn’t believe that the person standing in front of her was a girl she liked very much. star.

It wasn't until my godfather confirmed with her again and again that she exclaimed, and then expressed her affirmation of my choice and adventure.

……

Lu Xi prepared a lot of gifts for them, including expensive tea and health care products. She even prepared a very expensive jade bracelet for my godmother. She did not treat my godfather favorably. In addition to tea, I also bought an extremely expensive set of fishing gear for my godfather.Probably because Luan Yu once told her that my godfather is a man who likes fishing very much.

After Luxi gave these gifts, I also took out the 8 yuan that Luan Yu finally entrusted to me from my backpack.

My heart was extremely heavy, but in order to make the lie that Luan Yu had married abroad appear more realistic, I still forced a smile and said: "Ji, this is what Luan Yu asked me to give to you... She cares about your body very much, so she wants you to Don’t be too economical, especially when it comes to food, and don’t eat leftovers all the time..."

My godfather did not take it from me. His mood was depressed for the first time since we met. He asked me: "Is she really doing well abroad?" (Follow the author's Weixin public account: ***, reply "B&B" to view the prototype of Tank Inn B&B. Reply "Lu Xi" and "Qiao Jiao" to view character pictures! You can also view the latest chapter)
"It's good. That man treats her very well."

"What does that man do?"

I was stunned for a moment, because this was not mentioned in Luan Yu's last words; I suddenly thought of the Chinese doctor Qiao Jiao was going to meet today, and simply followed my thoughts and said, "He is a doctor."

"Hello, doctor, save lives and heal the wounded."

"Well...she can't come back to see you in the future, so you must accept this money, otherwise she will feel sad; the only thing she is worried about is you and her godmother, but there is no other way to express this I feel so concerned..."

Only then did my godfather take the document bag containing the money from my hand, and then said to me: "Your godmother and I can't spend any money at all... I have been thinking about you starting a family and starting a business... See You have a girlfriend now, and we are happy from the bottom of our hearts... So, we have also prepared some thoughts for you, as parents."

After saying that, he turned to my godmother and said, "Mom, please bring that bankbook."

The godmother returned to the room. When she came out, she already had a bankbook in her hand. She handed it to me and said, "You kid has been wandering. We don't know which city you will live in in the future, no matter where you are." In urban life, buying a house is a big deal... These days, it is really difficult for young people to make money on their own to buy a house... So, your godfather and I saved a little money, maybe just enough for a down payment... Don’t think it’s too little, as long as we get married sooner, we will feel more at ease!”

I know these two old people very well. Neither of them have formal jobs. If the money in this passbook is enough for a down payment, it must be the pension given by the state after the death of their son. There is absolutely no way I can ask for this money. But it’s hard to say no.

I suddenly thought of the 150 million that Qiao Jiao had transferred to me before. I immediately took out my phone and said to my godmother with a smile: "Godmother, you really don't have to worry about me buying a house... I can earn it now." Money, you see, this is the 150 million that my partner just transferred to me a few days ago... If I find a small city to live in, I can buy a house with the full payment without any problem."

The two old men looked at each other with incredible expressions, and then laughed and said: "We are really worrying about this matter. My godson is someone who can find a celebrity as his girlfriend. How can he be an ordinary person?" ...Mom, please put this bankbook away, we will open our hearts from now on, eat when it’s time, drink when it’s time...and wait for Xiaochao to let us hold our grandson!”

After saying that, the two of them looked at Lu Xi who was sitting on the sofa together with a tacit understanding. Their joy and anticipation were beyond words. …

After expressing their feelings to each other, four people in the room finally sat down to have dinner together.The two old men loved Lu Xi just as much as they did Luan Yu, and they just kept picking up food for her.

I couldn’t tell what Lu Xi was feeling, but I just saw her eating the biggest meal since we met.

During the meal, my godfather told me and Lu Xi that the old mage in the village passed away yesterday... The new mage will take over tomorrow. According to their custom, the successor must bid farewell to the old man by going up a knife ladder.

The knife ladder is built on the edge of the cliff, 36 meters high, with a total of 36 sharpened steel knives. The new mage has to step on these steel knives, carry the magic weapon on his back, climb to the top of the knife ladder with bare hands and feet, and meet the old mage. Saying goodbye is also to express one's fearless courage in facing difficulties. According to the customs of the Miao people, only those with such a spirit can be qualified to become their mage.

Just thinking about it made me feel horrified, so I subconsciously looked at Lu Xi who was sitting next to me. Like me, she felt horrified and also showed a strong curiosity about this custom. She finally took the initiative to ask. The specific time to go up the knife ladder.

The godfather told her that it would be held at dawn tomorrow morning, and he also told us to go to bed early and not miss this very important sacrificial ceremony.

Lu Xi looked at me, and after I expressed my wish to have a look, she nodded heavily to my godfather, saying that she would definitely get up early.

……

When preparing to rest, Lu Xi and I encountered another big embarrassment, because my godfather and godmother’s house only had two bedrooms, which meant that we had to live together.

The winter in Hunan is not too cold, and the temperature has picked up; therefore, I decided to wait until my godfather and godmother fell asleep, and then live in the Navigator that I drove from Luxi. That car has enough space. , and it has the properties of a nanny car, so sleeping in it will not be uncomfortable.

After I told Lu Xi about this plan, she didn't object.

After that, we sat in the room, waiting for my godfather and godmother to fall asleep.

In fact, in such a alone space, we had the opportunity to speak clearly, but no one spoke up to touch us. It seemed that there was still a lack of opportunity between us to speak out.

In the end, it was Lu Xi who spoke first. She asked me: "Han Chao, are the Miao people really capable of casting poisons? ... Is it also true to drive corpses?"

I looked at her in astonishment.

She asked me again: "Is the mage your godfather mentioned someone who can cast poison?"

……

Just when I was thinking about how to answer, my phone suddenly vibrated. I took it out and looked at it. It was a call from Qiao Jiao. After calculating the time, it was indeed time for her to get up. Out of concern, Of course she would call me and ask me if I got there safely.

I didn't answer the phone immediately, but subconsciously looked at Lu Xi who was sitting on the edge of the bed, dangling his legs in boredom.
