Ancient Dragon Village, the old Gu family in the village.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the dark purple sunset penetrated the thin layer of fog that lingered all year round, giving this small mountain village located on Dragon's Back a layer of almost fantasy color. Gu Tian's father, Gu Hai, who had dark skin and a broad back, was squatting on the bluestone steps outside his courtyard and was busy.
There was a thick layer of sawdust scattered around his feet, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of fresh wood. Gu Hai held a chisel that had been polished brightly by long-term use, and was laboriously pointing at a piece of fine jujube wood. Due to the force, the veins on his arms popped out, and the right hand, which was slightly deformed due to the impact of the dragon claw Martial Soul, was surprisingly steady when handling the wood.
In order to rush to make a new set of furniture for the New Year for Wang Dahu in the neighboring village, Gu Hai had stayed up for three nights in a row, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. But he was completely unaware that every time he cut, there was an extremely simple craftsman's beauty, as if he was carving a heirloom treasure.
"Ha, after finishing this work, I got the reward, which is just in time to save some tuition for Tian'er for the next semester. I heard that the city costs a lot, so we can't let our children suffer." Gu Hai wiped the sweat rolling down his forehead and giggled. All he could think about was the stubborn and thin back of his son when he left home half a year ago. That was all the motivation for him to live.
At this moment, a burst of light and rhythmic footsteps came faintly from the rich Purple Mist at the end of the village road. Along with the footsteps, there were also the crisp and familiar laughter of young people.
Gu Hai subconsciously raised his head and squinted his eyes. He saw a handsome young man wearing a clean white shirt who was much taller than half a year ago. He was riding the last ray of sunset and striding through the fog.
"Dad! I'm back!"
Gu Hai was stunned for half a second, and the chisel in his hand fell on the stone slab with a clang. He reacted suddenly, rubbed his hands desperately on the coarse linen clothes stained with sawdust and sweat, and greeted him with a face of ecstasy, "Tian'er! You are really my good son! You are... oh my god!"
Gu Hai Before he could finish his words, his whole body froze in place as if he had been subjected to a high-level immobilization technique. His eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit a goose egg.
Behind Gu Tian, I saw one, two, three, four... neatly followed by four little girls carved in pink and jade, who were so beautiful that they hardly looked like mortal beings!
In this desolate and simple mountain village, where even the roads are uneven, the appearance of these four girls is like four fairy flowers suddenly blooming in the dilapidated land.
The one at the front is a little girl with silver hair and purple eyes. Her skin is as white as a freshly peeled lychee. There is a smart nobility in her eyes, like an exquisite porcelain doll.
Followed closely was a girl with black hair and green eyes. Although she was still young, she had a cold temperament. Every step she took was extremely graceful, like a snow lotus unstained by dust on the top of a mountain.
There is also a man with long scorpion braids. As he walks, his pair of fluffy rabbit ears occasionally sway. When he smiles, he has two deep dimples on his cheeks. He is extremely innocent.
As for the one at the end, although his face is slightly pale, his pair of ghostly pupils are so cold and peerless, especially his figure, which is so developed that even Gu Hai, an honest man who claims to have seen the world, looked away in embarrassment.
Gu Hai originally wanted to give his son a solid and warm hug, but at this moment due to the extreme sensory shock and brain disconnection, he stumbled and almost fell into the sawdust pile next to him.
"God... Tian'er, this... are these?" Gu Hai pointed at the four girls, his hands shaking like chaff, and he couldn't get over this tone for a long time, "Didn't you say you want to go to school Nuoding City? Is this your female classmate?"
Gu Tian coughed lightly, touched his nose in embarrassment, turned sideways and introduced, "Abba, they are my... friends. This is Gu Yue, this is Na'er, this is Xiao Wu, this is Zhu Zhuqing."
Then, Gu Tian turned his head and smiled at the four girls, with a hint of homecoming relaxation in his tone. "This is what I mentioned to you, my father, Gu Hai."
Gu Hai At this time, his mind was full of mush, and he felt like he was dreaming. He stiffly twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a simple and honest smile that was uglier than crying. He was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hands. "Hey... Hehe, it turns out he is Tian'er's classmate. Look at this... This poor place in our house doesn't even have a decent bench. Come on, come in and sit down, there's a big Purple Mist outside, don't brag about you delicate little girls!"
Gu Hai was leading the way sideways while muttering in his mind: Is the Feng Shui in the city so good? This is not recruiting students. It is obviously recruiting a group of saints who came out of paintings, right?
However, before he could fully recover, a voice sounded that made his soul almost leave his body. Sound System.
"Hello daddy!"
Na'er took the lead and jumped in front of Gu Hai like a cheerful deer. She tilted her head, her purple eyes filled with an innocent and cunning smile, and her voice was as sweet as if she had been dipped in a honey pot.
Gu Hai's smile completely froze on his face, and before his brain could restart, subsequent bombardments followed.
"Dad." Gu Yue bowed slightly and performed an impeccable ancient etiquette. There was an inexplicable solemnity in his cold voice.
"Hello dad, I am Xiao Wu! Brother Gu Tian often praises the practicality of the furniture you make!" Xiao Wu shook his long ears and came over with a smile.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who had been a little embarrassed and had just recovered, blushed and called out shyly like a mosquito, "Dad... Dad."
"Boom--!"
Gu Hai felt that Tianling Gai was numb for a while, his toes were curled together due to extreme tension, and the unfinished piece of jujube wood in his hand hit his feet with a "clack". He stared at his son with his round eyes, and in his eyes, besides fear, there was also a shock of "green smoke rising from the ancestral grave".
"God... Tian'er! Tell me honestly, what on earth were you doing outside? They... what did they call me?" Gu Hai lowered his voice, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice.
Gu Tian looked at his father's expression that he was about to faint on the spot, scratched his head in embarrassment, lowered his voice and whispered into Gu Hai's ear:
"What... Dad, let's keep a low profile. Actually, they are not all classmates. To be more precise... they are all child brides I brought back. Yes, that's right, they are all your future daughters-in-law. I am thinking about celebrating the New Year and brought them back to you and your elders to see."
Gu Hai shook his whole body, and his face turned a strange purple-red color due to insufficient blood supply and over-excitement. He shouted crazily in his heart: The ancestor has appeared! I, Gu Hai, have been here all my life. I was cutting wood in this ravine, and my son went to school for a year, and he actually brought back a bunch of little fairies to be his wife? This... is this the legendary Twin Martial Souls, the gold content of the 20th level of innateness? He is simply more lavish than the emperor!
"You... you are greeting here, don't let anyone run away! I'll call your mother! Come into the house quickly!"
Gu Hai Some of them ran to the backyard with hands and feet, and in their panic, they even bumped into the dried chili peppers on the wall of the yard.
In the backyard, Gu Tian's mother, Lin Ping, is wearing an apron, sitting on a small stool and feeding the few hens in the family in a hurry. See Gu Hai rushed in on the ground, and she glared at him angrily. "Gu Hai, why are you so old and so weak? Do you want to sneak a sip of the wine I hid behind the stove? I see how anxious you are."
"Ping'er... Ping'er! Something big has happened... No, it's a happy event!" Gu Hai pulled Lin Ping up. He was so excited that he couldn't even turn his tongue, "Tian'er is back! He's really back!"
"Come back as soon as you come back. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It scares you, but my son is not a tiger." Lin Ping As soon as he heard that his son was back, his eyes suddenly lit up Star Dou. He put down the food bowl and rushed to the front yard.
"Wait! We haven't finished talking yet!" Gu Hai held her tightly and came to her ear mysteriously, lowering his voice with an extremely absurd sense of pride, "Tian'er... made a difference this year! He brought back four daughters-in-law! They are all very beautiful, with skin as white as snow and eyes as bright as diamonds, exactly like the little fairies in the paintings that year! They... they just lined up to call me daddy!"
Lin Ping's movements suddenly froze, and then he looked at Gu Hai with a look that looked like a lunatic, stretched out his hand and touched his forehead. "Gu Hai, were you too tired from work just now and suffered a heat stroke? Or have you finally gone crazy? What nonsense are you talking about there? Your son is only six and a half years old and has just entered the first grade of elementary school! Do you want your daughter-in-law to have an out-of-body experience?"
"I'm really not crazy! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself! I'm just sitting in the main room!"
Lin Ping was hesitant, even with the attitude of "preparing to treat her husband", and was dragged to the front hall by Gu Hai.
