Last Totem Novel - Chapter 418
Chapter 418 Relatives
“Dead ghost, hurry up and help. You want me to die of exhaustion by myself!” Not long after the two brothers recognized each other, Zhu Xiuhua’s loud voice rang out from the grocery store.
Facing his wife’s call, Zhu Yongnian hesitated. Seeing this, Hagrid patted his shoulder and said, “Third Brother, hurry up and help Xiuhua. It’s not easy for her to prepare food for so many people alone.”
“I” Zhu Yongnian hesitated.
“Hurry up and go. Fifth Brother is here. He doesn’t know how to run. In the future, he will have more time to catch up.” Hagrid advised.
“The child’s father, what are you doing? Quickly come and help.” Zhu Xiuhua’s voice rang out again.
“Hurry up and go.” Hagrid urged with a frown.
“This” Zhu Yongnian hesitated and looked at Tie Zha.
“Go.” Tie Zha followed suit.
“Hey.” Zhu Yongnian nodded and walked into the grocery store.
Seeing her husband return, Zhu Xiuhua hurriedly went forward to help him take off his backpack and hang it on the brick wall where half of the ash had fallen.
“I just made a special trip to the market and made a big pot of your brother’s favorite roasted beef and potatoes.” Zhu Xiuhua said.
“Thank you, wife.” Zhu Yongnian said as he rolled up his sleeves.
“What are you thanking me for? Second Uncle and Fifth Uncle are guests at home. We have to properly entertain them. Otherwise, if they go back, they will criticize me for treating my husband’s family badly.” Zhu Xiuhua pouted.
“No, my second brother is always very casual.” Zhu Yongnian walked into the kitchen and said as he washed the vegetables.
“He can do whatever he wants, but we can’t do anything. Go away. Just watch the fire and I’ll wash the dishes.” Zhu Xiuhua pushed Zhu Yongnian aside and said.
In fact, she did not hate her husband’s brothers. However, every time she saw them hugging and crying, she would feel a burst of inexplicable panic. She vaguely knew that her husband’s family had an unusual past. She could often see a trace of loneliness and sadness in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Originally, she was from the countryside of the Far East and was very enthusiastic towards her husband’s brothers. But ever since she heard the news of the raven’s death, she had changed her mind. Every time Hagrid came, she deliberately put on an unwelcoming attitude. She was afraid that one day her husband would follow that path. As an ordinary woman, she only knew that she could not lose her husband and her children could not lose their father. She was afraid of losing her life, so she had to put on the posture of a female tiger and chase away all potential threats.
Today, she was even more frightened when she saw the fifth brother that Hagrid had brought. So much so that when her husband spoke a few more words to the other party, she felt her heart skip a beat and her heart skipped a beat.
This fifth brother was just like the raven back then. His temperament was calm and composed, and he didn’t dare to laugh. His heart was like a rock, and his momentum was like a tiger wolf. He moved with an awe-inspiring manner, and one could tell that he was an extraordinary person at a glance. This kind of person was usually the most inflammatory. A single sentence or a single glance could make a person follow life and death, and the saber would come and go in the flames.
Her husband was just an ordinary person. He couldn’t even hold a kitchen knife steadily, and he couldn’t beat her in a fight. If he followed her around, he would only end up dying miserably on the streets.
In her sad mood, she accidentally cut her hand, and blood immediately flowed out, but she did not know until the fresh blood stained the vegetable washing basin red …
“What’s wrong with you!” Zhu Yongnian, who was watching the fire from the side, noticed something strange and hurriedly went forward to check.
“No … nothing …” Zhu Xiuhua regained her senses, then pushed her husband away and said, “A little injury, don’t make a fuss, just apply some safflower oil.”
“You go rest first. Let me handle the rest.” Zhu Yongnian said.
“Wash up the vegetables and cut them. Just wait for the pot to be cooked.” Zhu Xiuhua warned.
“I see. Hurry up and apply the medicine.” Zhu Yongnian said with concern.
About twenty minutes later, all the dishes were ready. Zhu Yongnian took out two small wooden tables from the shop. One was tied together with the one under the tree and served as the main table for adults to eat. The other was placed aside and sat alone for the four children. Then he called for the children to move the stools and bring out the dishes.
While Zhu Yongnian was busy, Tie Zha and Hagrid sat expressionlessly at the side, staring at each other with wide eyes. To Iron Slag, this trip was simply terrible. He wanted to find someone who could take on heavy responsibilities, but the other party was a “strict wife”. Although he wasn’t afraid of his wife, it didn’t have anything to do with whether he could do anything big or not, but looking at Zhu Yongnian’s “housewife” appearance, he couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder Hagrid didn’t admit that he was Northas.
After everything was ready, Zhu Xiuhua brought over a large pot of steaming hot potato roasted beef and a few side dishes.
“Eat, eat, eat. You’re welcome. Fifth Uncle, eat more too.” With that, Zhu Xiuhua wiped her hands and went to the bakery next door to pull the owner’s daughter over for dinner. This girl’s name was Lin Miaohua. She was twenty-two years old this year. Like Zhu Xiuhua, she was a peasant girl with a big bucket waist, thick legs and round arms. She was short, fat, and capable of doing heavy work.
“Hello, Second Uncle. Hello, Fifth Uncle.” Under Zhu Xiuhua’s introduction, Lin Miaohua greeted Hagrid and Tie Zha bashfully.
‘”Good” Hagrid nodded in response.
“Hello.” Tie Zha nodded slightly and bowed back.
“You are all young people. Talk more.” Zhu Xiuhua looked at Tie Zha and pointed at him.
Sensing Zhu Xiuhua’s small movements, Tie Zha turned around and narrowed his eyes to look at Hagrid. The latter, on the other hand, didn’t seem to know anything at all as he ate a large mouthful of roasted beef and potatoes in the bowl, as if he hadn’t eaten anything in a few days.
“Fifth Uncle, eat more.” As he spoke, Lin Miaohua took the initiative to scoop up a spoonful of beef and add it for Tie Zha.
“Thank you” Tie Zha said with a wooden expression.
“Iron slag, eat more.” Zhu Yongnian greeted. Although he was an ordinary person, he had inherited the shrewdness of the Northses. Judging from Tie Zha’s performance just now, he seemed to look down on him, so he didn’t dare to address him as “Fifth Brother”. Until he was fully recognized, he did not want to be shameless and pretend to be his elder brother. Moreover, he felt guilty in his heart. He felt that he had never done his duty as a brother for a day. He did not have the qualifications to call others Fifth Brother.
He knew that this generation’s Northess Clan was his most hopeless clan …
Just as her husband finished speaking, Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said, “Big sister, our Fifth Uncle is a very talented person. I heard that he is still an official outside.”
“Mm” Lin Miaohua lowered her head and replied shyly.
Seeing this, Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and turned around to look at Hagrid.
“What’s the matter?” Hagrid asked blankly.
Tie Zha didn’t say anything, but the expression on his face clearly said, “Wait.”
After a while, Lin Miaohua raised her head and greeted with a hint of shyness, “Fifth Uncle, eat more vegetables. The weather is hot now, so you can lower the fire …” Under the setting sun, her round face was flushed red, her cheeks shining brightly, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. At this moment, her gaze seemed to be somewhat blurry. It could not be said that she was unsightly, it could only be said that she was very healthy
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded, but did not touch the vegetables. Originally, he wanted to pinch it, but when the other party said that, he decided not to eat it, so as not to cause any misunderstanding.
“Fifth Uncle” Zhu Xiuhua was about to persuade Tie Zha to communicate more with the girl, but at this moment, the roar of a motorcycle came from far to near.
“Buzz buzz … buzz buzz …”
Immediately after, a high-speed white locomotive swept past. In an instant, a turbulent wave of air swept over the withered leaves and a large amount of dust on the ground, instantly spraying the faces of everyone sitting on the small bench and eating around the small wooden table. Only Tie Zha and Hagrid turned around and lowered their heads to protect the bowls and chopsticks in their hands.
“Who is shameless to drive so fast and rush to reincarnate!” After the smoke and dust, Zhu Xiuhua immediately stood up and chased out of the street, cursing loudly at the distant motorcycle.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp …”
Seemingly hearing Zhu Xiuhua’s shout, the high-speed motorcycle actually took a sharp turn and crossed the car body, causing the tire to rub against the ground. At the same time, it pulled out a large amount of black smoke and forcefully stopped its castration. Then, it turned around and rushed back.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiuhua’s face turned pale and she took several steps back.
“Ji!”
After a burst of rapid braking, a pure white high-end motorcycle stopped in front of her. Seeing that, there was a girl with an arrogant figure, a sweet appearance, and a temperament as cold as frost sitting on the carriage. After parking, the girl raised her waterfall-like long hair and turned to look at her.
The other party’s gaze was extremely sharp as it swept across her face. She felt as if her chest had been stoned, almost suffocated and suffocated on the spot. Her first reaction at that time was that something bad had happened and she had provoked a jade-faced Rakshasa girl.
In the Far East, the term “jade-faced Rakshasa girl” refers to girls with good looks, power, and a particularly irritable temper.
“Who are you scolding?” The girl opened her lips and asked indifferently.
“I… I…” Normally, Zhu Xiuhua, who was extremely powerful, was at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Zhu Yongnian hurriedly stood in front of his wife and said to the girl, “Sorry, she didn’t mean to …”
“Is that intentional?” The girl smiled sweetly, but her gaze was still as cold as a knife. Her hands naturally hung down beside the short knife at her waist, as if she would attack someone in the next moment.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Zhu Yongnian nodded apologetically.
“Eh?” At this moment, the girl suddenly turned her face away, revealing a surprised expression. Afterwards, the chill on her face turned into a charming smile as if it had melted away the hard ice.
‘”Hi ~” As she let out a crisp cry, she raised her lotus-like arm and waved to someone behind them.
Tie Zha and Hagrid looked at each other, and in an instant, their expressions were like they had eaten a dead mouse.
“Could it be fate?” The girl waved her long legs and got out of the car. She swayed towards Tie Zha and sat on his lap in front of everyone.
Seeing that they were acquaintances, Zhu Xiuhua and Zhu Yongnian heaved a sigh of relief. But they didn’t know that Tie Zha and Hagrid were going crazy with worry.
“So …” Bi Tianye smiled and said, “You also have relatives ~” The threat flowed on the surface, but only Tie Zha and Hagrid could see it.
