Volume 1 The Desire of the Heart Chapter 3 The Way Home
Chapter 3: The Way Home
Towards dawn, there was a light rain, neither heavy nor long, and the whole rain began to end, from the largest to the smallest, about the time it rained a stick of incense.
In fact, it is a cause and effect of the true body of the gods and the spirituality of the gods giving back to the heavens and the earth.
After the rain, the sky is dark and light, the air in the wilderness is fresh and cool, the rain and dew are full of woods and flowers, and the land is sticky and soft after the heavy rain.
Not long after the light rain fell, everyone woke up, even Qin Jun, who could sleep for three days and three nights without eating and drinking, was also woken up by the sound of the bleak rain and the movements of the people next to him in the carriage. Qin Jun, who was woken up, originally wanted to lose his temper, but looking at the blacksmith man whose arms were thicker than his thighs, he thought that he couldn't beat him, and his eldest brother, who was extremely disgusted with him, would not help him.
Those of them, who were Su Zhe's guests, slept in the carriage, and were not harmed by anything other than being woken up by the sound of the rain, but those who took the sky as the seat and the earth as the seat and slept outside were drenched in the rain.
Eight people carrying sedan chairs, sixteen warriors carrying weapons, as well as Qin He and the tall old man.
They either hid under the roof of the carriage or gathered under a big tree, but after all, they could not completely cover the rain, they would not get drenched, and they would also get wet, but fortunately it was only a light rain.
Soon after the rain, the sky cleared.
Under the carriage, several people carrying a sedan chair, as well as Qin He and Kong Qiu.
Eight people who were originally serving tea and water in the Su Mansion, cleaning up the mansion, etc., but now doing the heavy work of carrying the sedan chair, began to get busy, without the master's instructions, the eight people each went to the back box of the carriage to get dry food and water, and distributed it to the people in the team, after everyone had water and dry food, it was finally their turn to eat and drink by themselves.
The rules and identities are like this, what kind of people do what they do, what kind of status can do what kind of things, and all things in heaven and earth also have such a detailed division of labor and stronger and more capable after the growth of one spirit and one thing, not to mention people.
Young birds are not satisfied in the cage in the forest, and if they want to fly for nine days, they need to exercise their wings so that they can withstand the wind and cold air in the sky;
If a person wants to climb up and be in a high position, he needs to go through hardships to get the right result, just like a monk who survives the thunder tribulation, only then can he see a thunder pool, and he will be reborn in the thunder pool liquid.
Just like the opposite status of Su Zhe and these subordinates, whether it is fate or luck, the most important reason is itself.
On the board where the carriage drove the horses, Kong Qiu sat cross-legged, holding a bowl in one hand and a big-faced pie baked in an alley in North Mocheng in the other. After Su Zhe became rich, he lived in Su Mansion, which was a few blocks away from that alley, and was still a frequent visitor there.
Before Su Zhe returned to his hometown, he specially ordered someone to go there and order more than 100 portions of big-face pies to be used as one of the dry food to supplement his hunger on the way.
The day before yesterday, Qin He smiled and shared this with Kong Qiu, who just listened silently and did not speak, Qin He thought that the old gentleman would give a sentence, "Don't forget your original intention, you have to always, and you are good." Unexpectedly, the old man seemed indifferent, so Qin He had no choice but to say no more.
The old man's eyes of the stars naturally saw through and knew what Qin He meant, but there are tens of millions of things in the world, and a small thing for a rich man who will still go to the alley after becoming a business, he can afford the words "don't forget his original intention", which is too casual, what Qin He said is just to make others feel that the shop in that alley will indeed bake pies.
Anyway, all Kong Qiu ate was the big-faced pie that was sealed and packaged, and there was no steaming after opening.
The old gentleman did not think that it was wrong to deliberately tout. Tell the truth, not modify it, and do the right thing, even if you deliberately want to get something at the right time, that's okay.
In the previous light rain, the old gentleman did not enter the carriage to avoid the rain, but sat in the position at this moment, and the Qin River next to him, and the eight people carrying the sedan chair around the carriage were wet by the rain.
The old man just wanted to see the rain.
When I was young, I was sentimental, and I was always told by my friends that now I have gray hair, and I can finally be sentimental at the right time and age. In the eyes that seem to be pregnant with a bright galaxy, there are actually vicissitudes that are richer than the sum of countless eternal stars.
The old man got up and got out of the carriage, and went a few steps forward to the three wet horses, and grabbed his sleeve with his hand to wipe the water from the eyes of the horses, and did the same with the other two.
The long-lasting itching is unbearable, and it is more torturous than the pain that pierces the heart.
As for the raindrops on the horses, they will soon be shaken down and steamed dry in the mountains after the weather clears.
As Qin He came out of the sedan chair, he began to continue to march towards the deep mountains and fields, looking down from the sky, the team was like a big beast that did not look like four different animals in the mountains and forests.
Kong Qiu still rode a horse and followed the carriage, and Qin He no longer rode a horse, following his brothers to open up the road, the horse he was riding was next to the old man, it and the horse under the old man, it seemed to be a childhood sweetheart, and the two horses were very intimate along the way.
The road that existed a long time ago, connecting Beimo City and Sujia Village, has gradually vaguely emerged, that road seems to have some kind of magical power, even under the washing of time, under the cover of wilderness weeds, it still cannot be completely washed away and covered, as long as someone yearns for this road in their hearts, with perseverance and determination, they can find it.
The tall old man on the horse, the reopened road under his eyes in front of him, in fact, the two ends of the road have been clear and clear, and the section between the two ends can be gradually smoothed even if it is winding and turning.
The most chaotic thread in the world, as long as the two ends of the thread are held, no matter how messy the lines are, it will not be impossible to untie the dead knot.
"A lot of things are not very clear, what did Xuanyuan choose here for? A village like a hidden world, a small county town, a path that cannot be erased by heaven and earth, and cannot be washed away by time, as I can see in my eyes, involves several veins shrouded in mist, once the fog is removed, the truth sealed in the dust of the years, what will be revealed?" the tall old man muttered to himself.
Starting from the hillside where Su Zhe was attacked by a tiger when he was a teenager, he began to go down after walking for a while, passing by a small stream and river, fortunately the river was not too wide or deep, and it was easy for the sedan chair to pass, but it was difficult for the carriage to pass.
Qin He let the people in the carriage come down, cross the river first, and then urge the horse to cross the river with the cart, the sad thing is the big hurdle on the river, the adult man stepped on it, and was almost submerged by the river to the waist, the height of the hurdle can be imagined.
It was nothing more than urging the horse to move forward vigorously on the shore, and someone pushed the cart up the frame in the middle of the river, and this kind of thing naturally fell on the sturdy man with the sword and the sword. Qin He smiled, moved his muscles and bones, quieted down those eager subordinates, rolled up his sleeves, and came to the back of the carriage, and called the people in front of him to start urging the horse, only to see the slightest wisp of smoke rising from Qin He's body, worthy of a person who had practiced in the Xianjia Sect, at this moment with a momentum of pulling out the mountain, with a loud shout, the carriage was lifted ashore by Qin He under the pull of a horse, and applause suddenly sounded around, especially the dozen or so mainly Su Hu, which was particularly warm and loud.
Seeing that the carriage was coming up, the groom hurriedly drove the horse to a stop, and the horse seemed to be a little frightened, and the groom tried his best to reassure him.
Finally, the old man led a horse in one hand and began to cross the river, as if he was afraid of the water, the two horses stopped and did not dare to move forward, and the old man went into the water by himself, walked around in the water a few times, and then beckoned the two horses to come.
The old man smiled and continued to guide the two horses into the water, the process was particularly long, but fortunately no one urged out of the voice.
The two horses each stretched out a foot into the water, the horse's foot did not enter the water, gradually deepened, and finally in the end, with a foothold, the two horses were no longer afraid, the front two feet stepped into the water, it seems that they are still two big guys who love clean, the horse's hooves stained with the clay after the rain, after shaking in the water and rubbing the pebbles at the bottom of the river, the clay under the horse's hooves is almost wiped off, dissolved into soil particles and precipitated at the bottom of the river.
After the creek and river, the field of vision is broad, there are no towering trees around, there is no cover of lush leaves, there is a kind of sky and high ground and wide earth, I am small but free feeling, the breeze in the air blows, which is refreshing.
Two places ahead, to the right without a mountain, is a big field, the end of the field is the big river called Moyuan, the river is rolling, there are often several zhang of water waves to beat up, the river water is like ink, but once from the river, it is naturally very clear, drink the sweet taste in the mouth to quench your thirst.
To the left is the great mountain, deserted, wild beasts in the mountains are rampant, birds and beasts occupy the king, but they also feed on each other.
Heaven and earth have changed greatly, from selfless to selfish, even private, the beasts in the mountains no longer have innate wisdom to be endowed by "heaven", and it is difficult to open the wisdom throughout their lives, unable to achieve the demon name, and also lost the wild inheritance, and they have been reduced to the word "livestock".
Although it is not domesticated, it is the world of my human race that has kept you in captivity in the deep mountains that no one wants to set foot in.
It's just that there are no absolutes, and the cave heaven and blessed land with strong spiritual energy, even if the rules of heaven are all over the world, there are still beasts that come into being, and they can be born to absorb the aura, cultivate with the essence of heaven and earth, and break the unbearable fate.
"Heaven" is selfless, heaven and earth are also selfless, nature is naturally impartial, but some people are too selfish and occupy heaven and earth for themselves.

As far as Su Zhe could see, he saw two mountains, and there was a path between the two mountains that could not be seen clearly, it should have been untraveled for a long time, and it was also overgrown with weeds.
But the mountain pass that was cut open by a sword was a mark that was difficult to change even in the vicissitudes of life, and there were tears rolling in Su Zhe's eyes at the moment after seeing it.
Some people have gained glory and wealth, and they want to cut off the inextricable ties of their former lives at the bottom, and they can even disown the poor parents who gave birth to him and raised him, abandon the wives and children who love him and miss him, and break up the brothers who share weal and pain, men will be like this, and women will be the same, and there will be thousands of hearts, although they are different, although there are good, there are the same evil.
Su Zhe has gained glory and wealth, and he can still think of returning to the village where he was born and raised, and doing something for the village, this heart is worthy of Kong Qiu's praise.
Kong Qiu stroked the two horses beside him, and there were only two words, "Goodness." ”
"I'm almost home. Su Zhe looked into the distance and muttered to himself.
