The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 342 Returning home in glory

In Panjia Village of Dazhou, on a country road, Pan Chengfeng was walking in the village with Xin'er and Qian'er. He was tall, already 1.9 meters tall. Qian'er and Xin'er were pretty and well-proportioned, it was impossible for them not to be noticed walking on the village road. Slowly, some of the braver villagers began to discuss: "This young man looks like Brother Gou Wa at the end of the village, and that girl, the one with the rabbit hairpin, is she the child bride of Mr. Pan's family?" When Pan Chengfeng heard someone remember him, he turned around and shouted: "Danniu! I don't recognize you, Brother Gou Wa, what are you referring to? Come here and let Brother Gou Wa take a look at you!"

The young man who was called Danniu looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, and there was a little kid beside him. He was startled when he heard Pan Chengfeng calling his name, and then he said in surprise: "It's really Gou Wa! Then this fairy-like girl must be Liu Yuexin! Are you all back?" Pan Chengfeng's shouting reminded many people. This is a child who grew up in the village, and everyone in the village knows him.

A group of villagers surrounded Pan Chengfeng and asked him questions. Pan Chengfeng answered everyone, and the one who asked the most questions was naturally the two beauties around him. Pan Chengfeng embraced them with his big hands and said proudly: "Both of them are my wives! You are jealous~" Daniu said disdainfully: "Who is comparing wives now, calf, go! Bring me daddy's pipe!" The little kid next to Daniu, who was about five or six years old, ran back to the house after hearing the order, holding a pipe that was almost as thick as his arm, and said crisply: "Daddy, daddy, I'll light it for you~"

Daniu smoked arrogantly, looked at Pan Chengfeng and said: "Where is your son? We are all competing for sons now~" Pan Chengfeng's face turned black, and he said angrily: "It's great to give birth early, I will give birth tonight, ten years later, let's compete to see who gives birth first..." "Daddy, daddy, daddy, mommy asked you to go back for dinner." Suddenly, several children ran out of the room behind Daniu, two girls and one boy, all under ten years old. Daniu scratched his ears and said: "Gou Wa~ what did you want to say just now? Keep talking, otherwise I have to go back, my wife's belly is still big, the midwife said she will give birth in two months~"

The villagers all laughed, even Qian'er and Xin'er covered their mouths with their hands. In the distance, an old man with white hair and a cane walked and shouted, "Is Gou Wa back?" Pan Chengfeng looked in the direction of the voice and said happily, "Village Chief! It's me, I'm back!" The village chief, Pan Dabiao, had silver hair and a cane, and was a little shaky. But he looked good. When he heard Pan Chengfeng's reply, he said happily, "Good boy, come here, let me see."

Pan Chengfeng hurriedly approached and supported the village chief, saying, "Why did you come out on purpose? I was just thinking of going to see you~" When Pan Chengfeng first came here, his parents died. If it weren't for the villagers who gave him some rice today and some vegetable leaves tomorrow, Pan Chengfeng would have starved to death. The village chief helped a lot, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to keep his broken house. Therefore, there are too many people in this village who are grateful to Pan Chengfeng~

The village chief took Pan Chengfeng's hand and said happily, "You are the second person who left Panjia Village and came back. Judging from the fabrics you are wearing, you must have made a name for yourself outside, right?" Pan Chengfeng nodded with a smile, then reacted and asked, "The second one? Then who was the first one?" When talking about this person, the village chief was so happy that he was even happier than seeing Pan Chengfeng. He said excitedly, "Li Dachun from Li Xiucai's family has made great progress. He is now the prefect of Fancheng."

Pan Chengfeng blinked and murmured, "Did Dachun really become an official?" The village chief said happily, "That's right. Not long after you left that year, Dachun also went to Li County to take the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, he made it all the way to the palace examination! He really made his father proud~" Pan Chengfeng then said happily, "He told me that he would do good things for the people when he became an official. It seems that the village has been doing well these years. Daniu has given birth to five or six children~"

The village chief smiled and said, "Yes, Dachun has not forgotten our fellow villagers. He gives the village some seeds and farm tools every year. Last year, he even gave five strong cows! Now farming in the village is much easier than before, and the harvest is much better... cough cough cough~" The village chief became more and more excited and almost couldn't catch his breath. Pan Chengfeng patted the village chief on the back and said, "Village chief, you seem to be only 45? How come..."

The village chief waved his hand and said, "Gou Wa, you still remember my age. You are thoughtful. I am half buried in the earth, but I can see that the village is getting better and better. I will die with my eyes closed." Pan Chengfeng helped the village chief back to his house. Looking at the familiar house, Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Village chief, your house is still the same as before. Why don't you renovate it?" The village chief looked at his house and said, "I'm used to living here. Besides, I'm the village chief. If I take the lead in renovating the house, the villagers will follow. Now the life of the village is just starting to improve. Let's talk about it in a few years."

The three chatted at the village chief's house until dark, and Pan Chengfeng took the two girls back to his little hut. Qian'er couldn't believe it, Pan Chengfeng used to live here! Not only was it shabby, but there were also leaks everywhere in the house! When it was cold here, it was more than ten degrees below zero! Even so, Pan Chengfeng was still alive, it was a miracle!

Qian'er was still in a daze, while Pan Chengfeng and Xin'er had already started. Qian'er also hurried over to help. Pan Chengfeng dismantled the door and the courtyard gate, and the fence and replaced it with a new one because it was rotten. The two main beams in the hut were also replaced. Pan Chengfeng went directly to the Red Mountains to find wood. Then he replaced the thatch with new ones and cast a spell to sweep the dust. Half an hour later, Pan Chengfeng's hut was completely new. The appearance was still similar to the original, but there were brand new furniture inside!

Pan Chengfeng lay down on the big bed he bought, patted both sides and said: "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Come and have a rest~" Xin'er's face was slightly red, and she was picking her fingers shyly. Qian'er sneered: "Get out, I will sleep with Xin'er tonight." Pan Chengfeng thought he had heard it wrong, and asked in confusion: "Let me go out? Qian'er, are you sure?" Qian'er said indifferently: "Sure, hurry up, I and sister Xin'er are very tired."

Pan Chengfeng also smiled and asked confidently, "What if I don't go out? Xin'er, do you want me to go out too?" Xin'er hesitated for a long time and didn't say a word. Finally, as if she couldn't bear it, she said, "How about..." Qian'er interrupted immediately, "Either Xin'er and I go out, or you go out! I'm not kidding you, stop smiling here!" After that, Qian'er kicked Xin'er lightly, and Xin'er also plucked up the courage and said intermittently, "You, you, you, you go out!"

Pan Chengfeng was startled, and his finger pointing at Xin'er was shaking. He trembled and asked in disbelief: "You, you, you are still my Xin'er...Ah~Qian'er, let go, I'm going out, is it not okay for me to go out?" Qian'er twisted Pan Chengfeng's ear and pulled him to the door, then kicked Pan Chengfeng in the butt, kicking Pan Chengfeng to the ground. Then, with a bang, the door was closed. That was not all, Qian'er set up a few more restrictions, and finally warned: "You can sleep on the floor tonight! If you dare to touch the door, we will never talk to you again in our lives!"

Qian'er clapped her hands, turned around and said to Xin'er, "See, you can't be polite to that guy, otherwise he will be mean to you in the future!" Xin'er felt a little reluctant, but when she thought about how Pan Chengfeng was mean to her today, she bit her lip and said firmly, "Sister Qian'er, Xin'er understands. I won't indulge him anymore!"

Pan Chengfeng, who was kicked out of the room, still maintained the posture of a dog eating shit. Now he knew the meaning of those words he heard from the two of them during the day. Pan Chengfeng supported himself with both hands, turned over and sat up, spit out the dirt a few times, and murmured: "It must be Qian'er's idea! Xin'er is so kind, she wouldn't have the heart to let me sleep outside!" Thinking of what happened during the day, Pan Chengfeng sighed and said: "In order to get away with it, my tone was a little heavier during the day. Xin'er must still be sad~"

Putting aside the matter of men and women for the time being, Pan Chengfeng thought of the village chief's silver hair, as well as Daniu and Daniu's children, and muttered: "The life span of ordinary people in this era is too short. Most of them die in their thirties or forties. The village chief is forty-five years old, which is already considered old. By the way, I haven't used my Shengsheng fruit yet..." Thinking of the Shengsheng fruit, Pan Chengfeng was a little undecided. Don't do bad things with good intentions. If you don't understand, just ask Qian'er~ Pan Chengfeng subconsciously stood up and shouted: "Qian'er~"

It was quiet, no one paid attention to him. Pan Chengfeng was angry, and just when he was about to push open the door, he suddenly remembered Qian'er's warning. Although she would not really ignore him, it would definitely be enough to make him drink a pot! Pan Chengfeng retracted his hand and said firmly: "If you don't want to come in, then don't come in. I can sleep well outside by myself!" He couldn't ask at night. Pan Chengfeng looked at the door and finally decided! What's so great about sleeping in the cowshed for one night!
