It all started with Sadako

Chapter 84 A Journey to Huaguo (Revised)

The arrival of Dad Cheap the next day, and the special commissioner sent by Director George to support him, completely relaxed Abner.

Semen is responsible for handling the accident investigators that the Japanese government keeps sending over; Semen is responsible for dealing with the issue of the King of Boxers bonus; and Semen is responsible for dealing with the endless media and interviews.

And on the second day after Simon's arrival, another piece of good news came.

When cleaning up the collapsed Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, the people present actually found Abner's passport buried in the rubble. This was a surprise.

After getting the passport and the fact that the affairs in Japan will not end for a while, Abner immediately decided not to spend time here to argue, he went to Huaguo to take a look!
Early the next morning, Abner forcibly picked up Semla, who was lying in front of the TV, without letting anyone pick him up. He hailed a taxi by himself, rushed to the airport, and boarded the bus bound for Huaguojing City. airplane.

……

It took five hours on the plane before landing at the airport in Beijing.

After leaving the airport, Abner saw the surprised eyes of a slightly cross-eyed middle-aged man, spoke fluent Mandarin, took his taxi and rushed to the long-distance bus station!

When we took a long-distance bus from Beijing to Taiyuan, Shanxi, it took another seven or eight hours, and it was already approaching evening.

Even though Abner had a strong physique, he couldn't help but feel a little tired.

So after leaving the long-distance bus station, I found a more formal-looking hotel to stay in.After all, for Abner at this time, China already belonged to a foreign country. Although he was not afraid of trouble, it was better not to cause trouble if he could.

After a night of rest, I was refreshed the next day.

Being in Taiyuan should not be far from Tang Xiyi's place, and contacted a driver familiar with the local terrain through the hotel, chartered his car, and took Abner to the address Tang Xiyi said.

At around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, after much tossing and turning, Abner finally got out of the car and stopped at the entrance of this cozy village.

This is a very ordinary small village, the fields are full of yellow rice, and the country roads are full of mud because of the previous rain.

……

And on the small road in this small mountain village, several villagers carried hoes and walked toward their fields, greeting each other.

Among these villagers, there was an old man with silver hair and wrinkled face, dressed in patched coarse cloth, carrying a large kettle with some cakes hanging on it, and a small basket on his back. In the back basket was a little guy about two or three years old, following the rhythmic pace of the old man, sleeping soundly.

Although the old man has wrinkles on his face, he does have a steady pace, a strong body, and a smile on his face.At this moment, a few young people followed behind him, chattering non-stop.

"Old man, you said that the United States is doing well, why do you always want to go back to our poor country!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the United States eats meat every meal, and you can eat whatever you want in other stores for free."

"Don't say you don't want any money. I heard that they are paying you back every month!"

"Who did you listen to? It's not like there are no poor people in the United States. Those individuals are suffering much more than us!"

The old man listened to the chattering sound with a smile on his face, and couldn't help raising his head to look north.

"I don't know if that brat has relaxed in his martial arts practice now that I'm gone..."

"It would be nice if I could stay for one more year, so that I could properly teach him how to get in shape. With such a delay now, I don't know when he will understand."

As they went further and further away, the young people nagging beside the old man rushed to their fields one by one and started to work, and the old man also reached his destination.

Looking at the middle-aged people busy in the field, the old man couldn't help grinning and shouted loudly: "Xingguo came over to eat, there are still cakes today, and my granddaughter-in-law even added two eggs in it for you!"

"Master! Master!"

The long-lost familiar shout made the old man's body tremble, and he turned his head to look into the distance where the sound came from.

I saw the blond boy running towards me not far away, who is it not my precious apprentice Abner!

"Master! I'm here to find you!"

After hugging Tang Xiyi, Abner looked at his master who had been separated for more than a year.

They saw that although Tang Xiyi's clothes were shabby and patched, his face was red, his muscles were tight without any signs of slackening, and his eyes were bright and bright, with no trace of depression in his eyes. His whole body was the same as a few months ago. In comparison, he seems to be five or six years younger.

Seeing this scene, Abner couldn't help but feel relieved, at least his senior brother is very filial, and the master's life should be very comfortable, otherwise his complexion would not be so good.

"Whoa whoa... whoa whoa..."

Abner held Tang Xiyi and was about to speak, when he heard bursts of children's cries coming from the old man's back basket

"Oh, my darling... Don't cry, don't cry... Let Grandpa give you a hug!"

Tang Xiyi turned around and picked up the little baby skillfully from the back basket, coaxing him softly.

"Dad, who is this?"

The blond Abner obviously attracted the attention of everyone in the field. A short, fat middle-aged man walked out of the field barefoot and stood behind Tang Xiyi and asked.

With a dark face and a dry face full of honesty, only a few traces of the old man's demeanor in the mouth and nose, Abner immediately knew that this was the old man's only son, his senior brother.

"Hi brother, I am an apprentice accepted by the master in the United States!"

Abner's brother was obviously an honest and honest person, and he was at a loss by Abner for a while.

"Brother Xiyi, I heard that a foreigner is here looking for you!"

At this time, another loud voice came, and an old man who looked older than Tang Xiyi walked towards here with a cane in one hand and a pipe in the other.

Behind him, there were several young people who were looking around.

The village is not big, and a little bit of news can spread throughout the village in a short time.

It is still very rare for the villagers to see a foreigner appear in the village. If it is not that it is the busy season of farming and cannot get away, there will be more people coming.

"Brother Yanbin! It's my apprentice from the United States who came to see me, don't leave later, let's have a drink tonight!"

Tang Xiyi said in that loud voice with a little pride, that his apprentice could think of him, and came all the way from the United States to see him, which is something worth showing off.

"And that Hexuan over there, hurry up and call Wen Bin, Kang Yu, and their wives back, and say that there are guests at home..."
