Chapter 5: Arriving at the destination

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

A gust of cold wind blowing from Beiyan Pass,

It makes people tighten their clothes and just want to move forward quickly.

A few days later, Li Mu and his four men left the caravan and headed north.

Li Mu's mother and son were in front of him, while Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao carried money and goods on their backs and ran all the way to Changzi County.

From a distance, you can see a place close to the mountain and the water's edge, and that is Lijiazhuang.

When entering the village, Zhao Xing saw the idyllic scenery. He saw "green trees next to the village, green hills leaning outside". From time to time, from the towering haystacks on the threshing floor, the sound of children catching rice and playing, coupled with the sound of horses neighing and cattle in the distance, adds a bit of peace to the village. About three times in front of a villa, Zhao Xinniang and Li Yiping knocked on Mayne's ring. After a while, a white servant came out. ”

Li Ping said: "Ah, it's Ye Ping back!" ”

Known as Zheng Bo's servant, Wei Yi Leng saw the visitor clearly, and immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly.

Seeing Zhao Xing holding a gun and a bow behind Li Yiping, Zheng Bo hesitated and asked, "Is this this the one?" "Zheng Bo, this is my child."

"Xing'er, say hello to Grandpa Zheng," Mr. Zhao said with some pride Hello, Grandpa Zheng! ”

"Good, good, good!"

Zheng Bo said as he welcomed the four into the courtyard.

"After you got married, did you go back to your parents' house more than ten years ago? This kid is taller than me. It's a pity that all these years have not been forgiven! ”

"Who says it's not. Zheng Bo, it is your master who has been in good health all these years, and Zhao and Zheng Bo have worked together. ”

Well, the master's health is no better than before.

He has been working hard for the affairs of several young masters and young women. Now he's just like me. He's old and useless! Zheng Bo sighed.

"How's my mom?" Zhao asked cautiously

"Your mom okay, your mom left the year before last, but she can't live in the cold. She's gone......" Zheng Bo said lazily, Li Yiping heard this, tripped under his feet, and Zhao Xing came to help her

。 After entering the courtyard hall in the middle, Zheng Bo invited Zhao Xing and Zhao Xing to take a seat, and went to the backyard to call Zhao Xing's grandfather Li Qing to meet.

With the "bang" of the cane hitting the blue brick floor, only a trembling voice from Mai in the hall was heard, "Come back, help me meet ......"

As he spoke, a pale, old man on crutches stepped out from behind the screen.

Father Zhao rushed forward to greet and help him, "The son-in-law is not filial, so you are very worried......"

Zhao's father choked up and said, "Ping'er, your mother has already left before you come back to see her...... Li Qing shook her head and said sadly, "Ping'er heard Zheng Bo say that it was a privet's unfilial son, and he came back late," Zhao Xingniang held back her tears and whispered, "Xing'er, this is your grandfather." Please come forward and kneel! ”

I've met my grandfather! Zhao Xing landed on his knees and solemnly kowtowed to Li Qing.

Very good! Very good! Very good! Happy, quickly Li Qing happily helped Zhao Xing up.

Looking at Zhao Xing coming to the wind,

Facing the wind in front of the tree and the Yingqi people, and the two fierce but regular servants who followed him, Li Qing couldn't hide the gratitude and comfort in Li Qing's eyes.

Thinking of his children and grandchildren, Li Qing had to be miserable.

After meeting each other's relatives, they naturally want to be kind to each other.

Zhao Xing was also solemnly introduced by his mother to several uncles and cousins.

Looking at the large group of brothers and sisters in front of him, Zhao Xingyou nodded. It took Hu a lot of time to remember the names of these people.

There is an old saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Li Qing's family is not as wealthy as his brothers, it is beyond the reach of ordinary small families. I heard that Zhao Si has passed away, and Zhao Xing's mother and son have nowhere to settle now. Li Qingdao did not have any disdain and disdain.

After all, they are their own blood relatives. As for the thoughts of a few cheap uncles, cousins who had just met, one or two of them could be seen in their cold and loving faces.

Among them, there are several men of the same age as Zhao Xing, who are full of excitement, curiosity and enthusiasm for Zhao Xing's arrival.

They are: Li Jinsi, the youngest son of Zhao Xing's second uncle; Zhao Xing's third uncle's eldest son, 17-year-old Li Jinwu; Xu Wanting, the son-in-law of Zhao Xing's aunt, is one year older than Zhao Xing.

Although Li Jinsi is relatively weak, he likes to read the art of war since he was a child, and he has a dream to help Ming Jun become a virtuous minister.

Li Jinwu is tall and mighty, and he is actually a rare strong man behind the mountain. Xu Wanting inherited the beauty and virtue of the Li family's son-in-law.

Although she is only 15 years old, she has become as elegant as her name.

The brother and sister's enthusiasm for Zhao Xing is significantly higher than that of other relatives.

Li Jinwu hugged Zhao Xing and kept rubbing the spear in his hand; Li Jinsi looked Zhao Xing's surroundings up and down; Xu Wanting and Zhao Xing's mother and aunt were talking in a low voice, their eyes still scanning back and forth around Zhao Xing from time to time.

Zhao Xing thought to himself: "It is said that Long has nine sons, but the sons are different. Take my family, Mayne's distant relatives, and see what the difference is.

In the future, we still have to carefully distinguish and find some places where we can follow you quack. ”

"Ping'er, you are homeless now, and you will call this place your home in the future. Although the world has become more and more scarce in recent years, our Li family can still provide you and your wife with a place to settle downFrom now on, you will live in another courtyard of our Li family, on the back slope of the village. If you wish, I will ask someone to set aside 10 acres of dry land and 8 acres of paddy fields for you to settle in. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Xingniang to say thank you, there was a discordant sound outside. "What a generous grandfather! If you give it to an outsider, it's the best farmland in eighteen months. I don't know where our grandchildren are going? ”

A strange voice drifted into the living room accompanied by the owner. Hearing this, Zhao Xing laughed.

Because he had just heard that "Eighteen Mu" had the saying of "Eighteen Mo", he saw a little boy come in, wearing green clothes and a green gauze hat (in fact, it should be called Zhibuguan, which is the clothing of Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty).

He plucked a green turtle, much like the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from the previous anime.

"You demon, cough ......" Li Qing was so angry that he almost carried it away. Don't be so rude" Zhou Cang couldn't stand the other side, drank too much, and dust fell on the top beam of his head.

"Zhou Cang, stop arguing, take a step back!" Zhao Xing said in a low and dignified tone.

Zhou Cang wanted to say more, but Zhao Xing looked serious, so he had to retreat to Zhao Xing, well, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"When they come, they will be put down," Zhao Xing sighed in his heart, and his cousin's words were heavy! ”

Zhao Xing said without hesitation: "This time the mother and son talked back. Because of the difficulty of this world, I came here for a year and a half.

I don't want to rob my family's property with my brothers. 1. Zhao Xing, promise me to live in Lijiazhuang for no more than three years, and I will find another place to live after three years.

At the same time, Zhao Xing will repay ten times the expenses incurred during the three-year period of Lijiazhuang, including the conversion of land production into currency and grain. ”

"Are you serious?" Li Jinbang's eyes were bigger than Niu Ling, and he didn't believe what Zhao Xing said just now.

"If you don't believe me, you can sign the contract in front of the owner!" Zhao Xingshen replied firmly, why? A contemptuous Li Jin asked, with my strength and mind!

Zhao Xing was not interested in explaining this 'waste wood' in front of him, and said calmly. ”

"Well, I've seen one or two boasters, but I've never seen braggarts like this."

Li Jinbang said sarcastically, I am most ashamed of the most people in front of the owner clamoring for a separate room!

Zhao Xing looked contemptuous.

"You! Li Jinbang choked up and was speechless. His pale face turned into an ugly pork liver.

At this point, it was difficult for the audience to interject anymore.

Quiet, a little suffocating quiet, the people in the hall had different ideas, as for what they were thinking, only God knows.

Seeing that only Li Jinbang and Li Jinsi moved their lips and wanted to say something, they were caught by their own Lao Tzu.

Xu Wanting looked at Zhao Xing with concern, but she was embarrassed to look at the little beauty.

Zhao Xing said to himself in his heart: "Hmph, three years later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion (184 AD), I don't want to stay in Shangdang County, where there are border disputes and civil strife. How can I find a safe place to stay! What's more, with my own skills and experience, how can we take the lead in the chaos of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty and set off a storm! ”

"When I appear, I'll see if all your filial sons and daughters are packed up!" Zhao Xing said.
