Du Yan has been thinking about going home all these years, he is different from other abducted children. Most of the other children www.biquge.info are from poor families, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and life is difficult. Although it is hard to learn art in the den of thieves, and he is often beaten and scolded, he can finally be fed and clothed, which is much better than being hungry at home.

And although he is not from a big family, he has a solid family and loving parents. The life that was too good in his childhood made him full of nostalgia for home. Even if as he grew older and his ability improved, no one beat him or scolded him anymore, and life was quite leisurely. But deep down I always feel empty, and there is always a feeling of being adrift. Therefore, going home has almost become his obsession.

Over the years, he has also traveled a lot of places with the Deqing class, from this city to that city, he secretly paid attention, but he never found the shadow of his hometown in these cities, and only vaguely remembered that he heard his mother mention our Qingzhou or something when he was a child.

But he didn't know whether it was Cheongju, Cheongju, or Gyeongju, and which province it was. Fortunately, he is still young, so he can always find it when he looks for it slowly.

Over the next year or so, he traveled all over the country, searching for all the towns with the same pronunciation that he could hear.

At this time, it was the nineteenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since the founding empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the descendants are not as good as the generation. The court was indulged in pleasure and extravagance, and over the past hundred years, internal and external troubles and wars broke out frequently. Du Yan traveled all the way, but he saw that the rogues were everywhere, the officials and bandits were indistinguishable, and the people's livelihood was difficult. He occasionally came to the rescue of the people, but on the way, his eyes were full of injustice, and he was really powerless to do as much as he could.

On this day, I came to Xiaobilee County, which is located on the border of Gyeongju and Huaiju, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was dark, and the fallen leaves were scattered.

Suddenly, a shadowy image jumped out of Du Yan's mind: heavy snow, deep alleys, long streets, wells, fallen children, and distressed women...... Du Yan looked at the strange and familiar scenery left and right, and only felt a spicy taste rushing to his nose, making his eyes hot and two lines of tears falling down.

"This is it......" Du Yan shouted in his heart, and he rushed forward desperately. The scenery on both sides is becoming more and more familiar, there should be a well in front of it, and there is a hundred-year-old locust tree next to the well. After this well and walk some distance, there is a lamp and candle shop, and next to the lamp and candle shop is its own eight two-story rice and grain shops.

He passed by the well and saw the big locust tree beside the well, and he was sure in his heart. Walking to the door of the original lamp and candle shop, he couldn't help but sigh, he was still there! Thirteen years after leaving home, this lamp and candle shop is still the same as it was at the beginning.

The probe looked forward, and the rice grain shop was still there, but the signboard with Du Ji rice grain on it was replaced by Chen Ji. Du Yan frowned, and couldn't help but guess in his heart: Did my father lose his business and sell the shop? Or did the business grow big and go to the state capital?

He didn't bother to find someone to inquire, and hurried in the direction of home. Du Mansion is located in the middle of the town and is in a superb location. Du Yan hurried to the door of the house with his memory, and saw the vermilion lacquer door, golden door nails, and two black and gold characters written on the high lintel: Chen Mansion.

Du Yan chuckled in his heart, this is not the standard that ordinary people should have! Could it be that he went to the wrong place? Take a closer look at the left and right, yes, this is it!

There is an apricot tree planted in the courtyard of the opposite house, and the branches stick out of the wall, and every time the apricot is ripe, the fruit presses the branch very low, and people walk outside the wall and reach out to pick one. The owner of the house was a very kind old man, who always smiled and let others pick the fruit and did not get angry.

Although there were no apricots at this time, the branches leaned out, and the leaves were scattered all over the ground by the wind, leaving only bare branches. Although it has grown a lot bigger, the trend pattern of the branches is clearly still the same as in the old days.

His heart seemed to be blown away by the wind, and he was cold and weak. He stood still for a moment, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to knock on the door. In the middle of the night, a very impatient voice came from inside: "Who's it? What are you shooting, just squinting for a while......"

The door made a muffled sound and slowly opened a gap that could just reveal a face, and an impatient fat face poked out of the door, with a big mouth, and raised his chin and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Du Yan asked in a good voice: "Dare to ask uncle, is this Du Mansion?"

The man frowned impatiently: "Blind your dog eyes, didn't you see the words on it clearly? This is the Chen Mansion!"

Then put your hands together, and close the door. Du Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a smile: "Uncle, please wait a moment, more than ten years ago, this place should have been Du Zhai, where are they now?"

The man suddenly let out an "oh" as if he realized, "The Du family, it's already dead!"

After speaking, he slammed the door shut, making a bang, shaking the dust that had accumulated for years.

The dust that got into Du Yan's collar seemed to be blown into ice slag by the wind, flowing down his chest, as if to freeze his heart together.

He stood there for an unknown amount of time, the street was deserted, there was no one to be seen, and the phrase lingered in his ears over and over again: "Died a long time ago!

A leaf floated out of nowhere, and suddenly flew before his eyes, and he suddenly came back to his senses. Remembering that his own clan lives in this vicinity, as long as he turns the alley, there is a settlement of the Du family in the back.

He walked away, he didn't want to stand for a long time, his legs were already numb, he almost fell off this movement, and it took him a few steps to stabilize. After moving around in place for a few moments, I steadied my mind and took a deep breath and walked towards the alley.

Turning the alley, he stood in front of the whiteboard door of the second house on the left, bent his middle finger and knocked on the door.

A man's voice came from inside for a moment, "Who?"

The door creaked open, and a man in his thirties stood at the door, looked at Du Yan a few times, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Du Yan saw that the person vaguely still had the old appearance, but he couldn't remember the name for a while. This family should be the father's third uncle's family, and the person in front of him should be the son of the third uncle.

Du Yan couldn't remember how many people he ranked and what he should call him, so he had to introduce himself: "Uncle, I am Du Yan, the son of Du Cheng's family in front." ”

The man was stunned for a long time, looked him up and down, and muttered: "Like, like, looks really like...... suddenly turned around and shouted: "Dad, mother, come and see, who's back!"

At this time, the broken cotton curtain of the west wing room was raised, and a woman in her thirties leaned out from behind the curtain, holding a doll more than a year old in her hand.

The woman's gaze touched Du Yan's eyes, a timid smile appeared on her face, and she went inside again.

The man couldn't help but say that he pulled Du Yan into the courtyard, and shouted as he walked, "Dad, mother, come out and see ......"

An old man came out of the door of the hall, wrapped in a thin torn jacket, his hair was thin and pulled into a small bun on the top of his head, he smoked dry tobacco in his mouth, spit out a few smoke rings, and said: "What are you talking about, such an adult is not stable at all......

As he spoke, the two had already approached, and he suddenly saw Du Yan's appearance clearly, was taken aback, turned back to his wife and said, "Son, come out and see, who is this child born like, why can't you remember it for a while?"

The old man in front of him is indeed the third uncle, yes, after so many years, he has hardly changed.

At this time, an old woman snatched out of the door, and looked at Du Yan a few times with squinted eyes. Du Yan stepped forward and saluted the two old men, and said, "Third uncle, third uncle, it's Du Yan who is back." ”

The third uncle seemed to have reacted at this time, looked at Du Yan for a while, thought for a while, patted her thighs with her hands, and said with a crying voice: "Is it Brother Cheng's Yan boy? Where did you run away from this child? You haven't come back for so many years, your father and mother ......."

The third uncle grabbed Du Yan and scolded his wife, "What are you talking about! It's cold, let the child come in to warm up first." ”

turned around and introduced the man who led him into the door to Du Yan, "This is your fifth uncle, do you remember?"

Du Yan nodded and said, "I remember, the fifth uncle has worked in the shop at home. ”

The fifth uncle let him into the house, and said with relief: "It's rare that you kid still remembers." ”

The houses are low, and they seem to be able to reach the roof as soon as you reach out. The windows were covered with layers of window paper, smoky yellow and black. If it weren't for the open door, the room would be almost the same as night.

Several people sat down on the low beard bed in the room, all anxious to inquire about each other's situation, and opened their mouths at the same time, one said: "How did my house become Chen's house, where did my father and mother go?" and the other said: "Where have you been all these years? Why haven't you come back for so long?" The third uncle and the fifth uncle also rushed to ask.

For a while, no one heard what the other party said, and the third uncle said: "Don't worry, come one by one." Yan'er, tell me where you went first, but you were abducted by the kidnapper?"

Du Yan told him about going to the temple with his mother to offer incense that year, and when he was relieved in the toilet on the way back, he was taken away by someone covering his mouth. He didn't say anything about his experience over the years, he felt that he had been abducted and deceived over the years, and even followed the leader to kill people and steal goods. But in front of this simple and kind elder, he instinctively covered up his ugliness, only saying that he was abducted a few times and sold to a family as an adopted son. Because he was too young to be abducted, he didn't know where his home was, and he didn't inquire about it until his adoptive parents died.

The third uncle's family immediately believed his words, and sighed that they were fortunate to have met a good family.

The fifth uncle sighed: "It's a loss to be abducted to save a small life." Suddenly, he slapped his leg and shouted: "It's not good! Yan'er should hurry up, let Chen Fu know, and don't kill them all!"

The third uncle and the third uncle also looked scared. Du Yan saw that Du Ji had become Chen Ji, and his heart had been there, so he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, what has happened at home over the years? Tell me first, and then make a plan." ”

Seeing his calm appearance, the third uncle couldn't help but nod and praise. turned around and scolded his son: "Don't talk nonsense, it's Brother Cheng'er's eldest son who has lost it, as long as we don't say it, who will know that Yan'er is back?"

Fifth Uncle Nuo said yes, scratched his hair, and smiled at Du Yan embarrassedly.

The third uncle took a few puffs of cigarette, sighed heavily, and raised his chin to the fifth uncle: "You tell Yan'er." ”

The fifth uncle grabbed his hair again, twisted his brows and made a half-loud sound, as if he didn't know what to say, and looked quite entangled.

The third uncle patted the back of his hand and scolded: "Look at you, let's talk about it......" She pulled the Hu bed closer to Du Yan, patted his hand twice, and slowed down her voice: "What your fifth uncle said just now is right, fortunately you were abducted, or you would have been harmed like your father......"
