Chapter 95, Home is the Root
I have to say that the unspoken rules are everywhere, Captain Yang is booming, the person who was supposed to be arrested was not arrested, but the person who reported the case was arrested This small mountain village is destined to be reshuffled under the strength of Yi Yongheng, Director Li was also arrested, and Village Chief Zhang was also arrested.
The Municipal Armed Police Brigade also returned empty-handed, but the task was completed, count it carefully, they seemed to have been tricked here, so many people were dispatched, so much was consumed, and the last person to deal with was the county police, which is very ironic.
When the people in the village finished filming, they were considered to be scattered, and the Liu family changed from the most unpowerful family in the village to the most powerful family, which is a little unbelievable, and the word Jackie Chan has been deeply rooted in the village since then.
The happiest thing in this is my aunt, in the face of the village's sycophants are generally her to deal with, the days go by, whenever I go to the village, my aunt will be full of glory, saying that our family is eternal how to come out, how to achieve, the village people are all agreed, but secretly there are people who are sarcastic, in the past, often small beasts and small beasts called, now the change is really fast.
Yi Yongheng didn't pay attention to all the discussions in the village, human nature, the county also called, and the county magistrate called Yi Yongheng lightly, and what he said was just some kind words, Yi Yongheng didn't bother to pay attention to anything, and hung up after saying a few words.
The next day, when the snow was almost melting, the family went out early.
Familiar scenery, strange village, Yi Yongheng is a little sad, this is not as before, childhood memories can no longer be confirmed here, the flood of the year directly turned the entire village into nothing, the people in the village basically died in the flood, when Yi Yongheng came back from his uncle's house, this place has been reduced to ruins.
After a few years, it began to come alive again, and the scattered wooden houses were so unfamiliar, and when they came to the ruins of the ancestral house, they were full of weeds.
Childhood walked with this ruin. The moonlight, the dragonflies by the stream, the spiders in the houses, the kerosene lamps in the huts, the happiness was simple.
"Brother, is this our former home? "Xiaolan was only three years old at the time, she didn't start remembering, and she was blind and couldn't see anything, so she didn't come here to be nostalgic, but to go to her parents' graves, although it wasn't Qingming.
Touching his sister's face, Yi Yongheng nodded: "Dad, Mom, I'm back." ”
Xiaolan was already in tears, she had heard the voices of her father and mother when she was a child, but she had never seen the two of them, which was destined to be a lifelong regret, and the uncle and family standing on the side did not speak, but the expression was the same.
Under the ruins, how many memories are buried, but all this is gone.
"Let's go, Xiaolan, let's go and incense my parents. A few people left the ruins and walked up the hill.
Overgrown with weeds, you can vaguely see two stone tablets in the grass, which were carved by my uncle himself, and the grave of my parents was also built by my uncle, and they come to worship almost every year.
"Another year has passed, sister, brother-in-law, are you okay. Placing the sacrifice on the ground, the uncle said to the grave: "Eternity has grown up, there is a future, and it will not be looked down upon in the future, Xiaolan's eyes have also been cured, and she can see things, and you should rest in peace if you have knowledge under the spring." ”
Uncle was chattering on the grave alone, Xiaolan cried directly, lying on the grave, Yi Yongheng did not stop his sister, but just placed sacrifices on the side, Xiaohu was rarely sensible, did not make trouble, and followed his aunt to clear the weeds.
I don't know when, my uncle lit a few cigarettes, put them in front of the tombstone, poured the rice wine he brought into the wine glass, and showed a sense of relief in Chi Dusk's face: "Brother-in-law, smoke it, I bought it for eternity." ”
Regardless of whether he can smoke it or not, his uncle is still the same, and he will light a few sticks every year, the previous ones were dry tobacco rolled up by himself, but now they are the golden white sand that Yi Yongheng bought back.
As always, the cannons, incense, and worship are fused together with wishes and thoughts, and with the help of that faint wind, they blow to the distant and close kingdom of heaven.
The smoke has not dissipated for a long time, just like the longing for parents, no matter the wind and rain and time, it is difficult for them to fade away.
The wind, still blowing, seems to be full of spirituality, with wishes to go far away, the road is very far, maybe to reach the soul home, the other side of the relatives.
Under Yi Yongheng's persuasion, Xiaolan stopped crying and burned the last piece of paper, and the family's expressions were different. When he was leaving, Yi Yongheng said: "Dad, Mom, I will take care of Xiaolan, this is my promise to you." ”
Then Yi Yongheng turned around and left, not nostalgic, I don't know when, the wind blew again, turned into a tornado, raised the paper ashes on the grave, and flew into the sky, as if responding to something, but all this, Yi Yongheng can't see it, and he doesn't need to see it, because the promise is there.
Back home, Yi Yongheng said that he wanted to take Xiaolan to the provincial capital, asked his uncle if they would go, the uncle was full of joy, obviously wanted to go with him, the nephew had an outing, she naturally would not be polite, only the uncle shook his head, which made the uncle very dissatisfied, but the uncle's words relieved her resentment: "Eternity, no matter where you go in the future, what point you go, don't forget to go home, home is the root, we Chinese pay attention to the roots of fallen leaves, you take Xiaohu and your aunt to the provincial capital, I won't go, I want to keep this root." ”
He naturally understood what his uncle meant, and he was not reluctant, after some agreement, in the end, his aunt also decided to stay, he only took Xiaohu to the provincial capital, according to what his uncle said, Xiaohu will not have a chance in the mountains, or go to the provincial city to have a chance. Yi Yongheng just shook his head about this, although the people in the mountains are hard, they are talented.
In the end, Yi Yongheng said to his uncle that he wanted to develop a 100,000 mu medicinal material base in Xiangxi, and his uncle was full of approval, and promised to help Yi Yongheng manage this base.
Then Yi Yongheng gave his uncle a bank card, as for how much money was in it, Yi Yongheng didn't say, he left with Xiaolan, as for Xiaohu, his uncle strongly asked him to spend the New Year at home, Xiaohu was itchy in his heart, and wanted to go immediately, but he was afraid that his father would beat him.
Originally, Yi Yongheng was going to spend the New Year at home, but the medicinal material base in Xiangxi needed to be established, and he suddenly found that he couldn't be idle, and more importantly, he had always had a knot in his heart, that is, the tomb of the witch in Xiangxi, now half a year has passed, and it is not far from the expectation of those two years, Yi Yongheng wants to find out the situation, you must know that his two rising things are obtained in it, if the witch wakes up, I am afraid that he will be beaten back to his original form, and it is not possible to go to Huangquan with his life.
Familiar mountain roads, familiar singing, but this time it was not Yi Yongheng who went alone, but with Xiaolan and the two, the main purpose of his trip was to meet the strange old man, and many things still need to be blamed on the old man to solve his doubts, who would have thought that there was such a figure who once made the family tremble in the mountains of Xiangxi.
However, before meeting the old man, Yi Yongheng still had to go to see Uncle Zhou, the difference was that this time Yi Yongheng was not lost.
The clear stream, the green bamboo forest, a few winter bamboo shoots stand in the forest, you can vaguely see the traces of life breaking through the soil, and several wooden boxes are placed in the bamboo forest.
"Brother, what is this?" Xiaolan said curiously.
"Beehives, bees, but now the bees won't come out, spend the winter in the beehive, and when the spring comes, my brother will take you to see the rape flowers, is it good to catch bees." Yi Yongheng explained.
"Good. Xiaolan looked at the beehive and said happily.
Then the two walked to the side of the wooden house, and from afar, Yi Yongheng called out to people: "Uncle Zhou, the greedy bear cub is here again." ”
"Brother, how do you say that you are a bear cub. Xiaolan asked.
"Hehe, this old man has a lot of honey at home, last time I went up the mountain to chop wood and got lost, he sent me back, Xiaolan doesn't remember. ”
"Oh, is that the old man who gave me something very sweet to eat?"
nodded, Yi Yongheng said correctly, but after calling the old man for a long time, no one answered, walked to the door, and saw that the door was half-hidden, Yi Yongheng didn't care, and walked in with a big grin, and when he got inside, he felt that something was wrong, if Uncle Zhou went out, he shouldn't lock the door, but the door was open, but no one responded.
He walked to the door of Uncle Zhou's room a little strangely, and only after a long time did he hear a deep voice from inside: "Cub bear, there is no honey for you to eat this time." ”
As soon as he heard this voice, Yi Yongheng's face changed, judging from the smell of herbs and this voice in the room, he knew that something must have happened to Uncle Zhou.
walked in without hesitation, only to see Uncle Zhou lying on the bed at this time, looking at him with a smile, but the smile was a little reluctant, when he saw Xiaolan behind, Uncle Zhou was a little surprised: "Xiaolan, are your eyes good?"
"Well, uncle, Xiaolan's eyes are better, what's wrong with you?
A series of questions were asked, but Uncle Zhou nodded with a smile, his face was pale and a little scary, but at this time, Yi Yongheng gave Uncle Zhou this pulse, and after a while, Yi Yongheng looked at Uncle Zhou with some anger: "Old man, tell me, who injured you." ”
The pulse looked obviously wrong, and Yi Yongheng knew that things were definitely not as simple as Uncle Zhou had shown.
When I was a child, I got lost in the mountains, if it weren't for Uncle Zhou, I'm afraid Yi Yongheng's life would be lost, you must know that the mountains in Xiangxi don't say that the environment is bad, just say that those beasts are enough to tear him apart, so for Uncle Zhou, Yi Yongheng has always been very grateful.
But judging from this pulse, Uncle Zhou was obviously not naturally sick, but was injured by someone. At this time, Uncle Zhou was also taken aback when he heard Yi Yongheng's words, this baby has studied Chinese medicine for a few days, and his ability has increased a lot, but he doesn't plan to tell Yi Yongheng, because it is useless to tell Yi Yongheng.
Looking at the expression on the old man's face, Yi Yongheng said: "Old man, tell me, who injured you, you can't hide it from me." ”
Saying that, Yi Yongheng carefully lifted the quilt, and then opened Uncle Zhou's clothes, only to see a few shocking scars on his back, which had not yet been bruised, and there were herbs on it, even Xiaolan was startled when she saw it, and she didn't know how the old man came over.
"Baby, I know your temper, but you can't fight those people, it's useless to tell you, and ..... hey" Uncle Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed, his face was extremely lost.
"Old man, I have never treated you as an outsider, but do you want to treat me as an outsider?" Yi Yongheng's face was expressionless, and he could see his determination, as if he didn't know that he would not give up.
Helpless, Uncle Zhou could only say it, as soon as he heard this, Yi Yongheng suddenly became angry: "Okay, good, it's okay if you don't come back for so many years, and when you come back, you actually bullied your father." ”
