Chapter 24 Visiting the Door
"Dude, go back." After practicing, Zhou Fan called out to the old dog lying on the ground.
The dude quickly stood up, shook the dust off his body, and followed in small steps.
Zhou Fan squatted down and tried to reach out and pat the dude's dog's head by starlight.
The dude didn't resist and let Zhou Fan's hand fall on its head.
There wasn't much flesh on the top of the dude's head. The original four long and sharp tiger teeth were only one at the corner of the right mouth, and the other three were lost.
"Dude, your age is older than mine. In the dog world, you are also at the level of a grandfather. I will take advantage of you if you call me brother." Zhou Fan smiled and said, "I will leave my life to you in the future. Now, do you feel bad when you leave the old master? But I promise you, you will accompany me to patrol, and if you feel homesick, I will accompany you to go back and have a look."
The dude just made an 'enen' sound, and his bald, sickle-shaped tail shook.
...
When Zhou Fan opened his eyes again, he appeared on the wooden boat as before.
Zhou Fan was used to this situation. He turned around to search for the foggy figure, but the fog was not there, and he was still the only one on the wooden boat.
This made Zhou Fan frown. He had some doubts that if he didn't plan to go fishing, the fog would not appear.
The fog did not appear, and Zhou Fan could only continue to practice the Twelve Forms of Tiger Form as he did last night.
Zhou Fan noticed another detail that he hadn't discovered before. No matter how tired he was outside, once he appeared in the Grey River space, his energy became full again.
Otherwise, he should practice as hard as he did before going to bed, and he should not have the energy to practice anymore.
Zhou Fan didn't think about it any longer, but concentrated on practicing.
Time passed quickly, and nothing happened on the wooden boat until Zhou Fan left.
When Zhou Fan woke up, it was already early morning. He looked at the white light outside the window. He was thinking that since he first appeared in the gray river space, he always slept at night, and then appeared in the gray river space.
If you fall asleep during the day, will you appear in the Grey River space?
If you have time, you still need to verify it.
The three of Zhou Fan simply finished breakfast, and their parents didn't leave home to do business, because Daliu was coming over to break off the marriage today.
Guifeng took the hen caught last night out of the bamboo cage, and asked Zhou Fan to help bind the wings and pluck the hair on the chicken's neck.
It was a guest, so the chicken was slaughtered. Even though they knew that Daliu was here to break off the marriage, the Zhou family did not want to lose the basic etiquette.
Moreover, after the night, Gui Feng also figured it out a little. After all, Xiao Liu's lifespan is still so long, and they have been busy with things these days, and they have forgotten about this marriage. As Xiao Liu's father, it is normal for Da Liu to be anxious. .
The relationship between the two families has always been very good. Even if the Zhou family loses face this time, it doesn't matter if they suffer a little loss.
After bloodletting, peeling, and cleaning the internal organs, put them in an iron pot to boil water and cook slowly. Before the hen is fully cooked, Daliu came to the door.
Daliu was tall, with broad eyebrows and broad eyes, a very rough man, and he was carrying two wine urns in both hands.
Zhou Fan began to feel fortunate when he saw Daliu himself. I have grown up like this, and his titular little daughter-in-law may not be so pretty...
"Big Brother Zhou." Daliu respectfully called Zhou Yimu.
"Come on, please sit inside." A rare smile appeared on Yi Mu's face.
"Uncle Da Liu." Zhou Fan also hurriedly greeted his husband-in-law, oh, no, it should be the former husband-in-law soon.
"You're in good spirits. Originally, I was afraid that you would be inactive after your hair was tied." Daliu slapped Zhou Fan on the shoulder with a smile.
Zhou Yimu and Zhou Fan welcomed Daliu into the hall.
Only then did Gui Feng come out of the stove.
"Sister-in-law." Daliu bowed respectfully again, looking very polite.
"coming.
"Gui Feng didn't smile, she just nodded, she knew in her heart that the more polite the other party is now, the more rude he might say later, so she couldn't laugh.
Gui Feng turned around and went back to the kitchen to prepare the appetizers.
Yi Yimu was chatting with Daliu in the hall, and Zhou Fan was listening by the side.
Compared with Zhou Yimu, Daliu seems to be a lot more talkative, and most of what he talks about is some chores in the village, and Zhou Yimu will occasionally comment.
But Zhou Fan didn't listen carefully. He was thinking about when to end this matter. What he thought in his heart was that when this matter was over, he still had to practice. He would go to the patrol team to report tomorrow morning, and there was not much time.
Daliu talked for a while, and then he noticed the old man lying quietly in the corner. He said, "Hey, this dog looks familiar, Brother Zhou, when did you have a dog at home? But it's too old."
Yi Yimu didn't hide it and said, "This dog is the old dog from Lao Wangtou's house. I bought it for Fan'er."
"Oh." Daliu nodded clearly, but his face was not too surprised, "It turned out to be the old dog in Lao Wangtou's house, this is quite suitable for Afan, with this dog, Afan just needs to be careful about patrolling. , it shouldn't be a problem."
As long as they know Zhou Fan's lifespan, anyone can guess that Zhou Fan will definitely join the village patrol team, and Daliu is no exception.
When it comes to the patrol team, the atmosphere inevitably becomes dull.
Fortunately, Guifeng has already put chopped chicken nuggets, green vegetables, broad beans and other appetizers on the table.
"Daliu, let's chat while drinking." Zhou Yimu waved his hand and said politely.
"Well, Brother Zhou and I haven't had a drink for a long time." Daliu said with a hearty smile.
Originally, if they were just drinking, Guifeng and Zhou Fan might not participate, but today's situation is different, so Zhou Fan and Guifeng are also sitting at the dinner table to accompany them.
"Sister-in-law doesn't drink, but Afan has already tied his hair, so Big Brother Zhou will let him drink a little." Daliu glanced at Zhou Fan and smiled.
Zhou Yimu nodded and agreed.
Daliu opened the seal of the wine urn, first poured a bowl for Yi Yimu, another bowl for Zhou Fan, and then another bowl for himself.
The wine in the bowl is pale blue in color and looks a little turbid. This is mashed wine.
"I'll toast Brother Zhou." Daliu said, holding up the wine bowl, "If it wasn't for Brother Zhou, I'm afraid my Daliu would have already been lying on the ground and turned into a puff of dust."
Zhou Yimu picked up the wine bowl to meet him, and the two drank.
Even Zhou Fan was poured into a few bowls by Daliu, but the alcohol content in ancient times was not high, and Zhou Fan was not drunk at all.
Cup to cup to go, ate some wine and vegetables, and when it was almost, Daliu put down the wine bowl.
Daliu put down the wine bowl, Yi Yimu took a sip of the wine in the bowl, and put it down as well.
Gui Feng and Zhou Fan knew in their hearts that Daliu was going to talk about something.
Daliu wiped the wine drops on his beard with his cuff, and said with a serious face: "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law and Afan, I came here today, I believe you have guessed something, I have something to say about our family."
