The Prodigal Son Returns Home

  After handling all the affairs of the Witch's Gate, Wang Long let Mi San uncle manage the Witch's Gate when he was not around and told Mi San uncle that he had decided to leave because there were still many things waiting for him outside.

  When Ai Li heard that Wang Long was leaving, her eyes immediately turned red and tears fell "plop, plop". Wang Long was most afraid of girls crying in front of him, so he suddenly became flustered, holding Ai Li's small hand and comforting her: "Ai Li, don't cry, I'm just temporarily leaving, I'll definitely come back to see you later."

  Aiyili wiped away her tears and looked at Wang Long with blurry eyes, asking: "Adan brother, is what you said true? Will you come back to see me again?" Wang Long nodded firmly and said to Aiyili: "Aiyili, don't worry, Adan brother has never lied to you. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to see you. It's just that there are many things waiting for me outside right now, and I must leave."

  Misam persuaded beside: "Aili, your Adan brother is a man who does great things, there are many places outside that need him, so don't cry anymore." Aili listened to Misam's words and quickly wiped away her tears. She firmly said to Wang Long: "Wang Long brother, I still call you Adan brother, can I? You must come back to see me."

  Wang Long nodded, suddenly remembering something, and said to Xiang: "Trouble you to get a pen and some paper, I'll write down some suitable exercises from the 'Hunyuan Witchcraft' for you to practice. You should all practice more often when you're free, only if you all become stronger can you better protect the people of the Miao tribe."

  Xiang Da quickly fetched paper and pen, Wang Long wrote down Po Tian, Mie Di, Xi Hai, Jiu Shi of the nine forms of Hun Dun Wu Gong, and handed them over to Ah Qi, Yue Shi, Xiang Da, Mi Sang and others. As for the Great Library of the Corpse Chasing Sect, after being injured by Wang Long, he had long since slunk away, and naturally there was no share for him in the Hun Dun Wu Gong.

  But Da Ku later regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. To be clear, the witchcraft Wang Long taught everyone was orthodox, but what they learned from their ancestors had already become unrecognizable and was no longer formal witchcraft. As for the Corpse Chasing Sect, after losing this opportunity, they also gradually declined in the Cultivation World. This is a later story, not to be told for now.

  Wang Long bid farewell to Mi Sang, Ah Qi and Ai Li's group, and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of his home with a burning heart. At this moment, Wang Long was like many travelers who had been away from home for a long time, eager to see their loved ones and friends as soon as possible. In the past year in Miaojiang, not only did his feelings for his family not fade, but they became even deeper, just like the fragrance of aged wine that becomes more fragrant with time. Although Wang Long's speed at this moment was faster than a car, he still felt that he was walking too slowly. With all his might, he activated the "Soul-destroying Step" of the "Hunyuan Witchcraft", and passersby could only feel a gentle breeze blowing by their side.

  Wang Bing and his family also miss Wang Long very much. Last time, a man named Wu who claimed to be from the National Special Affairs Group told him that Wang Long had received a secret mission and was now executing it outside, possibly unable to contact his family for some time. Only then did Wang Bing slightly put down his worries.

  For Wang Long, Wang Bing knew that his son's character would never do anything bad, so Wang Bing was also very reassured. However, it had been a year since he last saw his son and there was no news from him, Wang Bing's family began to worry again, although Old Wu regularly transferred money to the card that Wang Long had given him before, but no matter how much money it was, it couldn't compare to his son's safety. Since Old Wu said it was a secret mission, there must be some risk involved, Wang Bing and his wife Liu Chu were anxiously discussing Wang Long's situation at home.

  But Wu Lao had no choice but to say so to Wang Long's father at the time. If he told Wang Bing directly, his family would definitely be unable to withstand the blow. Regardless of whether Wang Long was in trouble or not, the country must treat his family well, otherwise it would be a waste of Wang Long's efforts for the country all along.

  Wu Lao sat in his office, let out a sigh, and thought of Wang Long. He felt extremely guilty in his heart. If it weren't for saving himself, Wang Long wouldn't have been caught by Mo Zu and fallen into a life-or-death situation. As for sending Wang Long's salary to his family on time, Wu Lao secretly sent out his own share as well. Although the money wasn't much, doing so made him feel a bit more at ease.

  Wang Long returned home, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening. Looking at the peaceful rural village with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys, Wang Long felt as if he had been transported to another world. He thought about his year in Miaojiang and how, if not for his good fortune, he might never have returned home again.

  Wang Long quickly walked into the courtyard of his home, which was still the same as before. Several old broken benches were placed there, next to a slightly larger bamboo bed that his father used to cool off on summer nights. The wind chime hanging from it was making a soft "ding-ding" sound in the summer breeze. Wang Long sighed and had long asked his father to buy a new bamboo bed, but his father never agreed, saying that as long as he could sleep, it was fine. What's the point of country people using such good things?

  Wang Long gazed at everything in front of him, feeling an unparalleled sense of closeness and warmth. Even if gold, silver, and precious jewels were laid out before him, they might not be as valuable as the worn-out bamboo bed in this humble courtyard.

  Wang Long looked over from the open wooden door and saw his father, mother, and sister sitting around the table eating dinner. Under the dim light, Wang Long's emotions surged as he noticed more white hairs on his mother's head. His eyes instantly became moist, and he quickly stepped inside, shouting loudly: "Dad, Mom, little sister, I'm back!"

  The three people eating heard Wang Long's shout and immediately froze, when they saw Wang Long really standing in front of them, Liu Chu's eyes suddenly dropped a few turbid tears, "Ah" stood up, held Wang Long's hand, looked left and right against the lamp light, looked for a while, and hugged Wang Long to cry bitterly.

  Wang Bing and his sister Wang Feng also quickly stood up, the whole family was hugging each other and crying bitterly, time seemed to have stopped at this moment, warmth spread throughout the small room.

  Wang Bing reacted quickly, complaining to Liu Chu: "Look at you, the child isn't back yet? Don't cry, the child must be hungry, let him eat first." Liu Chu wiped away her tears, revealing a happy smile, saying: "Right, look how happy I am. Come on, Little Dragon, sit down and eat first, we'll talk about your things after you've eaten your fill."

  Wang Feng held her brother's hand beside him and curiously asked: "Brother, where have you been all this time? I miss you so much."

  Wang Long smiled and patted Wang Feng's shoulder, saying: "Sister, brother has been to a very far place recently. Come on, let's eat first, and after we finish eating, I'll tell you stories." The already ten-year-old Wang Feng was forever like a little girl who couldn't grow up in front of her brother, happily jumping around, saying: "Okay, brother, come sit next to me, I'll give you a big piece of meat to eat."

  Originally, during this period of time, because his mother's health was not good, Wang Bing also often bought some meat and vegetables to bring back for his wife to nourish her body. Now on the table there is a big plate of braised pork in soy sauce, you know, in rural areas if one can eat meat every day, that's not something ordinary people can afford.

  Wang Long smiled and accepted the large piece of braised pork that his sister had handed over, taking a bite. Although the meat at home didn't have as many seasonings as the restaurant's, the flavor was relatively plain, but to Wang Long, this dish of braised pork was absolutely the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.

  Watching her brother eat the meat she had prepared, his sister happily started eating too. Little Wang Feng also inherited her mother Liu Chu's beautiful genes, you know, when her mother was young, she was recognized as the number one beauty in the village, and many people from surrounding villages came to ask for her hand in marriage, but her mother refused them all, and later chose honest and kind-hearted father Wang Bing. Although after years of hard work, she had prematurely turned gray and had fine wrinkles on her forehead, the outline of her beauty was still vaguely visible.

  Ten-year-old Wang Feng, a pair of small phoenix eyes are already very charming, crystal-like jade hands under the lamp light emit a fascinating glow. Growing up will definitely be a great beauty.

  Wang Long, under the attack of his parents' "left a piece of meat, right a piece of meat", quickly picked up his chopsticks and said: "Dad, mom, I really can't eat anymore, you must eat more." After finishing speaking, Wang Long took several pieces of braised pork from his bowl and gave them to his parents. Such things are often seen in rural areas, making the atmosphere at home warm and lively. The whole family was happy and content, and they finished dinner with a smile. Even Liu Chu, who usually couldn't finish her meal, surprisingly ate an extra bowl.

  Seeing his son return made his wife so happy, and Wang Bing was also extremely delighted.

  After dinner, the whole family sat on a bamboo bed in the middle of the yard and talked about Wang Long's recent activities outside. Wang Long learned from his father that Wu Lao had been taking care of them, and he was also very moved. So he made up a kind lie, saying that he had indeed been carrying out a secret mission recently, although there were some adventures, but no life-threatening danger.

  Wang Bing listened to his son's words and said to Wang Long, "Child, you've also grown up. Many things I can no longer help you with. Your affairs I won't interfere with either. I know you'll know what to do."

  Wang Long nodded, feeling extremely proud of having such an open-minded father.
