Chapter 4237 Moving the Whole Family
Huo Qingfeng made things really tough for us, but we didn't come away empty-handed. At least those two evil cultivators from Southeast Asia were killed, and we also obtained a very strange magical artifact, a bone flute.
We have witnessed the power of this bone flute; it can have a great influence on a person's consciousness.
If this magical artifact is used in conjunction with Little Fatty's big bell, the effect will definitely be extraordinary.
Next, he would let his brothers recover from their injuries and restore their cultivation as soon as possible. Then, he would ask Zhang Qing'an to think about where his family should go.
He can go to Maoshan Sect with Brother Gu and the others, or he can come to Yanbei with me and buy a courtyard house near my family's courtyard house.
Even evil cultivators wouldn't dare to enter Yanbei, the capital region, let alone cause trouble there. If Zhang Qing'an were close to our home, Grandpa Zhang and Eighth Master could take care of them.
The key is that if he's close to me, it's much easier to call him out to work; I can just call him whenever I want.
After bringing them all here, I went to see Zhang Qing'an's son and grandson one last time.
The two people's condition has improved significantly. The red spots on their bodies, which resemble snakes coiling around their waists, have diminished considerably. More importantly, they both seem to be in much better spirits. They were previously unconscious, but now they have woken up. The child is crying loudly from hunger, and Zhang Qing'an's son also says he is hungry. This indicates that the feng shui formation that Huo Qingfeng set up in Zhang Qing'an's house has completely lost its effect. It is only a matter of time before the whole family recovers their health.
We stayed at Zhang Qing'an's house for a few days without rushing to leave. The main reason was that everyone's injuries were quite serious, but not to the point where they needed to drink the medicine made from those pesky tree leaves.
Although we all have a lot of medicated packs on us, we should use them sparingly. If we can recover from our injuries in other ways, we shouldn't use the medicated packs. Good steel should be used where it's needed most.
Therefore, everyone only took some pills from Xue Family Pharmacy, and I used the Eight-Foot Jade to heal their injuries for a few days, and their injuries recovered considerably.
When their injuries had healed by about half, I brought up the matter of moving with Zhang Qing'an.
This is no child's play. Since Huo Qingfeng came the first time, he might come a second time. We dare not gamble.
Apart from Zhang Qing'an, the places where we all live are quite safe, so he also has to move to a relatively safe place.
When I brought this up, Zhang Qing'an hesitated for a moment, looked around, and said with some frustration, "Xiao Jie, I've lived in this village for decades, and this house was just built. It's the best three-story villa in the surrounding area. It's such a pity that we're moving away like this."
"Old Zhang, you're really stingy. This little villa isn't even worth the price of one of your Wind Escape Talismans. What's there to regret? You can come back to live here after we've killed Huo Qingfeng and we don't have any more enemies." The slovenly Taoist was speechless.
“The housing issue isn’t the key point; it’s that I’ve developed an attachment to this place. It’s all my fellow villagers, and I can’t bear to leave this place and the people here.” Zhang Qing’an was still somewhat reluctant to leave this place.
This is also the thought of many older people. Zhang Qing'an is already quite old, and he finds it hard to leave his hometown. I can understand that.
"Then you should think about your newborn grandson. He almost died this time. If there's a next time, it'll be hard to say..." Brother Gu chimed in.
These words struck a nerve with Zhang Qing'an. He nodded and said, "Move, we must move. We can't let anything else happen to our family."
"Comrade Zhang, why don't you come and stay with us at Maoshan Sect? My whole family is here, and you can keep us company," Brother Gu suggested.
“But my grandson is still so young. What will happen when he grows up and goes to kindergarten or primary school? Does the Maoshan Sect not have any schools?” Zhang Qing’an asked doubtfully.
"I really don't have that..." the slovenly Taoist priest chuckled.
“Comrade Zhang, how about this? You come back to Yanbei with me and we’ll buy a courtyard house there. With your current financial resources, you could probably afford two. As for residency, you don’t need to worry about that. You’ve done so much for the Special Investigation Team, almost losing your life several times. Getting an advisor position in the team is definitely not a problem. As for your residency and your child’s school registration, let Lao Tang take care of that. Your eldest grandson is about the same age as Huwa, so when he’s older, he can go to the same school. What do you think?” I said with a smile.
Upon hearing what I said, Zhang Qingan's eyes lit up.
Just as he was about to say something, the slovenly Taoist priest chimed in, "That's great! If your grandson becomes good friends with Tiger Cub, he might be noticed by Old Zhang next door or Eighth Master when he grows up. If either of them takes him as a disciple, his future will be limitless. Even if they don't take him as a disciple, just giving him some pointers would be a remarkable thing."
"It's mainly because he has strong connections. Master Zhang and Eighth Master are both his grandfathers. When this kid grows up and goes into the martial arts world, who will dare to disrespect him?" Chi Lang said with a smile.
"That's great, that's great! We'll go to Yanbei and be neighbors with Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie, go and help me find out if there are any vacant courtyard houses near your house. I want to buy the biggest one, so that when the brothers go to Yanbei, we won't have to worry about not having a place to stay." Zhang Qing'an slapped his thigh excitedly.
“There are plenty of houses. Several courtyard houses over there are vacant. You can come back to Yanbei with us now. There’s no rush to find a house. We can take our time and move in as soon as we find one.” I was very happy. If Zhang Qingan moved to Yanbei, I could take advantage of him anytime.
Even if you're just running a small business, you can invite Zhang Qing'an to join you.
At the same time, I also started to worry about something else: my family in Jiushan Village, and Xiaopang's family. Their situation was actually very dangerous. I was really worried that Huo Qingfeng would find where my family and Xiaopang's family lived and then attack them.
Fortunately, over the years, my family and I have kept a low profile. We only go home once a year and stay for three days. We also keep a low profile in the village, and no one knows what we do.
It seems that Xiao Pang and I should be more discreet in the future and not let anyone know that our hometown is Jiushan Village. This is also for the safety of our family.
