Chapter 493: Wanted and Captured (3)
A short life always had too much helplessness.
When one’s bodily functions deteriorated and illnesses appeared everywhere, there was only pain and despair left in life.
Would he have the chance to live forever?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Su Mu smiled and said to the old man in front of him:
“The two of us ca here for a vacation and got lost. She was tired and hungry. She wondered if she could get sothing to eat.”
Hearing this, the surrounding elders looked a little lonely, but they quickly regained their spirits.
“Young man, co to my house! I killed a chicken at noon and can’t finish it!”
“I made braised fish at ho, but I didn’t touch it much. Do you two want to co and take a look?”
“Chicken, duck, and fish are so greasy! Young man, do you want to try the fresh and refreshing farm vegetables?”
..
The surrounding elders warmly invited Su Mu and Tao Xingyuan to be guests.
This enthusiasm surprised both of them.
Finally, Su Mu and Tao Xingyuan went to the house of the old man who had asked them questions at the beginning.
On the way, the three of them chatted for a while.
Su Mu learned that this village was called the Sun Family Village. This old man was called Sun Jianhua, and he had a wife who was slightly younger than him.
As they chatted, Grandpa Sun pointed at a big banyan tree at the entrance of the village and smiled.
“Do you see that big tree? It was planted hundreds of years ago when the village was established.”
“Our Sun Family Village is the descendant of Sun Wu!”
“The vicissitudes of thousands of years have not scattered us. After several migration, we ca here and settled down.”
“I didn’t expect that now that there’s no disaster and life is good, the village will be gone. Sigh ~”
Speaking of this, Grandpa Sun was a little depressed.
He shook his head and did not say anything else. His originally straight back could not help but bend a little.
..
About ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at Sun Jianye’s house.
After his wife found out what had happened, she imdiately brought out the food.
Seeing that Su Mu and Tao Xingyuan were eating a lot, he made two more dishes and told them to eat as much as they could.
The current economic conditions in the countryside were not bad, and the food was quite good.
Su Mu ate five bowls of rice.
Tao Xingyuan ate a little less, but he also ate three bowls.
Halfway through the al, Grandpa Sun’s wife specially cooked a pot of rice with a stove to ensure the supply of rice.
The old couple sat at the side, smiling as they watched them eat. There were so tears in their eyes.
..
After eating and drinking their fill, Su Mu brought Tao Xingyuan to thank the two old n.
Then, he asked Tao Xingyuan to wash the dishes and pots while he started to practice his boxing in the small courtyard in the countryside.
Seeing this, Grandpa Sun beca interested. He smiled and said,
“Young man, you’ve trained your body well. You’re strong enough!”
“Unlike so young people nowadays, who either use their computers or their phones every day. They sit for hours and make their bodies weak.”
As he spoke, Grandpa Sun started to talk about the past of his clan.
“Two hundred years ago, our Sun Village had a highly skilled general.”
“Unfortunately, he was hard by a traitor and died unjustly.”
“It was said that after the general was beheaded, the emperor had nightmares for several nights. He dread that the general’s headless body ca to him to seek justice!”
“Later, the Emperor, who was frightened, re-examined the matter and overturned the case for him.”
“However, the general’s head has mysteriously disappeared.”
“In order to appease the general’s resentnt, the emperor spent a lot of money to build a golden head for him and buried him in his hotown, our Sun Family Village.”
“Since then, the story of the golden head has been circulating in the village.”
Su Mu was originally just casually chatting with Grandpa Sun, but when he heard this, his interest was suddenly piqued.
“The story of the golden head?”
“Yes, I am. So villagers saw a golden man’s head floating in the middle of the night like a ghost fire. They didn’t know if it was real or fake. Anyway, I’ve never seen the old man before.”
As he spoke, Grandpa Sun knocked the pipe in his hand on the ground.
Who knew that before the ashes ca out, his head was knocked off with a ‘gurgling’ sound, rolling to Su Mu’s feet.
He was also directly facing Su Mu, a pair of turbid old eyes staring straight at him.
“Sigh, I’m getting old and my bones are a little loose.”
“Young man, can you put my head back on?”
