Yun Chi heard that after receiving Nanshan, he was going to meet again in the evening, and his heart was not quiet for a day, thinking that he was high in his own way and had no distracting thoughts, but when it came to his heart, he knew that his cultivation was too far behind. No matter how he recites the scriptures, his food is still much less than usual, and he impulsively wants to see Niu Lixin's house a few times, but he still doesn't want others to find out, and after staying up until the evening, Daozhen brought Jiang Nanshan to him.

Yun Chi had heard about Nanshan's recent situation, but it was still beyond his expectations, when he left home, Nanshan was a ten-year-old child, watery, delicate, and fat. In front of him was an old, shriveled little old man with no vitality and energy. Yun Chi's old tears couldn't help but fall, and he asked, "Do you still recognize me?" Hearing the familiar and friendly voice of his childhood, Jiang Nanshan raised his head, and he asked in a daze, "Are you?" Dao Zhen said on the side: "He is your father, you have a good talk, I will go to the door to show you, so that no one else will disturb you." ”

From Jiang Nanshan's mouth, Yun Chi knew that after he left, his wife and four children really went to his hometown according to his request. Because there is no news of him, but the news that he offended the powerful people of the dynasty has spread in his hometown, and his former land and land were instigated by local officials, and the people who paid the rent only wanted to pay less at first, and then they actually developed to not pay, and then later, other large local families saw that the three brothers had not grown up, and they thought of occupying it. His mother couldn't stand the bullying of others, so he asked his eldest son to find his former friend Jiangnan Liu's family, first, to ask for help, and secondly, he might find news of his father.

Yun Chi asked Daozhen to prepare some water for Jiang Nanshan to wash, he wanted to be quiet, whether to find his wife by himself or continue to let Daozhen go, he couldn't decide now. He looked at the robe on his body, thinking back to the price he paid on impulse, if he didn't run away, it might not really be to the point of Zhulian's family. He was a young man, he wanted to do something big, but he didn't expect to encounter change, he was not a conservative person, but he didn't want to see the people under his rule suffer. He hadn't seen much of the people who had suffered over the years, but now he found out that his family was so unfortunate.

After sitting all night, the next day, Yun Chi announced that he had decided to hand over the temple to Daozhen for temporary management, he had been in Lin Qian Temple for too long and wanted to travel for a while. He continued to incarnate as a wandering monk, took Shi Qi, came to his hometown, and after inquiring, he came to a dilapidated courtyard, which was not the address of the courtyard he built back then. The one who opened the door was a man in rags, Yun Chi didn't recognize it, Shi Qi asked, "Is there anyone from Jiang Mansion living here?" The man replied, "There is no one from Jiang's house, my surname is Jiang, and there is no food at home, so you can go elsewhere." ”

Shi Qi asked, "Do you know Jiang Beiling?" The man looked at Shi Qi, then at Yun Chi and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing with Northridge? Yun Chi couldn't help but ask, "Do you know?" Where are they? The man said: "I am Jiang Dongfeng, Beiling has gone out to beg for food a few years ago, and there is no news so far." Yun Chi couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What about your mother?" The man looked at Yun Chi in surprise, and said for a long time: "It's long gone, since my father left home, she took us back, not a few years, the family business made the family bullied, and the eldest brother didn't come back, she thought that she had no face to see my father, and she didn't get sick soon." ”

Yun Chi squatted on the ground, ignoring Shi Qi on the side, he had been invisible, but now he lost control of his emotions, where is he still a Taoist monk, he is clearly a villager. Jiang Dongfeng looked at Yun Chi, Shi Qi pulled him up and told Jiang Dongfeng that it was his father in front of him. Jiang Dongfeng and Jiang Nanshan's performance was completely different, he pointed at Yun Chi and said, "You still have the face to come back?" The family has been broken up by you, you went out alone, and let our family suffer from you, now it's okay, it's really a broken family. ”

From Jiang Dongfeng's mouth, I learned more about the situation after Yun Chi left home, Mrs. Jiang returned to Yun Chi's hometown with four children and a few caring family members. But life can't live without pillars, I don't know where the wind blew from, saying that Jiang Shangyun ran away in fear of sin, his family has good land, but there is no one to shelter from the wind and rain, and his three sons are still young, and they are all scholars, so they are useless. Just like going out hunting and finding a lonely goose with broken wings, the Jiang family's field was eaten by others, so Nanshanyun asked Nanshanyun to find the Liu family to seek justice for them, but he didn't think that the second brother would go, and there was no news.

Later, of course, Mrs. Jiang died, the eldest sister left home, and the third brother also left home to make a living, only he was alone at home, and his eldest sister confessed that if his father could come back one day, he would also have a head. Jiang Shangyun is different from others, his eldest daughter is the eldest son, and the later son starts with his eldest sister, so Nanshan is called the second son. He was anxious to know where the eldest sister was, Jiang Dongfeng said: "When my mother was still there, there was a wandering Lang Zhong who took a fancy to my sister, and at that time, my mother found that she had no ability to ensure that the gangsters around her did not beat my sister's doctrine, so she reluctantly let Lang Zhong take it away." Before my sister left home, I was still young at the time, but I remembered her words, I must guard this home, only by guarding it, can the family hope to be reunited. ”

The greatest grief in life is not loss, nor is it a broken family, a reunion, or a regain. Yun Chi looked at Dongfeng who was just able to speak when he left home, he had no impression of himself, he didn't have the strength to explain to him why he was ruthless to abandon them, he didn't have the courage to claim that if he didn't leave, the family might be even more miserable, he knew that the content of the explanation was already weak. Yun Chi didn't want to enter the house and wanted to take him away, but he didn't agree, he told Yun Chi that he would not leave this broken nest until his brothers and sisters were all gone.

When Shi Qi entered the house to look, he found that his grain tank was already empty, and he knew from the stove that Jiang Dongfeng was living on grass roots and tree bark. Shi Qi cleaned the dusty Jiang family's hut and said, "Master, you sit down and talk." They learned from Jiang Dongfeng that the courtyard of his house was also accepted by the local rich man surnamed Zhu, because he owed too much food to others and could not afford to pay it back. Now, Jiang Dongfeng relies on a short-term job during the busy farming season to make ends meet, and when the weather is good, he will go to the side of the official road to ask people passing by about the whereabouts of his family.

Shi Qi said: "Abbot, if he doesn't want to leave, forget it, I don't want to stay in that Shi family, Jiang Xianglian and I moved in to accompany him, what do you think?" Yun Chi thought of Shi Songshan's ill intentions towards his granddaughter, and thought that what Jiang Dongfeng said made sense, guarding this house, maybe Beiling and Wenzhi would be able to come back in the future, and the Jiang family would really have a reunion. Yun Chi said: "It's okay, you go back and come over with Nanshan and the two masters, but can the fourth lady agree?" ”

Shi Qi said: "She is doing well now, I am relieved, but I don't want to be in the Shi family, Shi Songshan has always been bad to me, and I am not good to my mother and brother there." Yun Chi gave Jiang Dongfeng some silver taels, he asked Shi Qi to take Dongfeng out to find a place to eat, and he helped Dongfeng clean the room at home.

Jiang Dongfeng saw the wine and meat, and did not gobble it up as Shi Qi thought, Shi Qi asked him to eat more, he said: "I don't know how my sister and brothers are doing now, if it was good, they would have come to me earlier." How did my dad become an abbot now? Why didn't he come back sooner? Suddenly back? Shi Qi told him about Nanshan, and in a few days he would bring Nanshan and his daughter back. After Jiang Dongfeng ate well, he brought back some vegetarian food for Yun Chi, and that night, Shi Qi accompanied Yun Chi to spend the night in Dongfeng, and the next morning, Yun Chi and Shi Qi went back.

Yun Chi prepared some silver for Nanshan, and asked for a few animal skins from Niu Lixin, and asked Daozhen to send them down the mountain, of course, Shi Qi and the fourth lady said okay, he went out for a while, brought the family book, and the fourth lady handed the jade flute to him and said: "This is the heirloom of the Niu family, and when their Niu Chaoyang is older, they will return it to others." Shi Qi nodded and asked the fourth lady to take care of her younger brother, and in the night, the eyes of the fourth lady and Daozhen hit back and forth again, and the two quickly shifted their gaze, and Daozhen left Shi's house with an uneasy heartbeat.

Nanshan saw the haggard Dongfeng, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing for a while, Dongfeng was already calm, and he didn't blame his brother too much. Dojin stayed in the hut for another two days, helping them make their beds and fix the house before leaving. After all, silver is limited, and it is necessary to sit and eat sooner or later, Nanshan and Shi Qi discussed, not only to read books, but also to find a way to let life continue. Shi Qi hadn't thought about this before, he would hunt, but the surrounding hills were poor mountains, and there was no prey.

Jiang Dongfeng thought for a while, he said that he could make some small books to buy ***, such as the tavern in the outer village, this place is close to the official road, and Nanshan likes to drink, so he can open a tavern. Jiang Xianglian was resolutely opposed, but Shi Qi couldn't think of a better way, so he could only persuade Xianglian to support them to open a tavern.

They found a vacant land at the head of the village, Shi Qi carried a batch of wood down from the mountain, Nanshan was familiar with the tavern, he also found the winery, he would cook a few dishes himself, and soon the tavern opened. Jiang Xianglian looked at the counter, one of Nanshan and Dongfeng was responsible for cooking, the other was responsible for buying vegetables and wine, and Shi Qi was the second in the shop.

About a week later, the rich man surnamed Zhu appeared, when Dongfeng went out to buy vegetables, the people in the store did not know the rich man Zhu, he entered the store and asked, "Where is Jiang Dongfeng people?" Shi Qiying stepped forward and asked, "Guest officer, please sit down and talk, Boss Jiang is out, and you can call the little one if you have an order." The rich man said, "This is my place, with whom did you agree to build the tavern?" Jiang Nanshan came out of the back kitchen, he knew that the person who came was not good, and said with a smile: "We first came, but also for a living, in the past, my family also had a thin land here, but the family property was lost, and I hope that your owner is merciful, we will not be grateful." ”

The rich man Zhu said, "Are you from the Jiang family?" What about Lady Jiang? I heard that the court has been looking for him for many years, don't you want to give me a chance to make meritorious contributions? If you send Lord Jiang to Lord Ouyang, you can at least change the county to do it. Jiang Nanshan said: "We don't have any news of our father, this is where we lived since childhood, I came back to eat with my younger brother, and please look at the former villagers for the sake of giving us some way to live." ”

Zhu Caizhu said: "Your Lord Jiang went out to be an official from here, he didn't treat us as villagers back then, and we also went thousands of miles to join him here, but after arriving at the place where he became the prefect, he not only didn't give him an official and a half position, but he didn't even give him a coiled face, saying that if he gave the travel fee, more people would go to him." Now, what kind of folks are you talking to me, I really don't dare to be, you are the young master of the former dignified prefect, I am a rich man, we are too far apart, I can't climb. The conversation could not continue, Jiang Nanshan wanted to invite the other party to drink, but the other party did not agree.

Shi Qi asked: "May I ask the owner, now that the tavern has been opened, how do you think this matter will be solved?" Our master may not have come to the house in advance to ask for instructions, for the sake of our family's several mouths to eat, give us a side of the net? Rich Master Zhu looked at Shi Qi, and then looked at Jiang Xianglian, who was opening delicately at the counter, and said: "It's really the prime minister's doorman Sanpinguan, your shopkeeper can talk to me, how big the master is, how big the slave is, it's not false at all." Where did you find the girl standing behind the counter? Long but Peugeot. ”

Jiang Nanshan looked at Jiang Xianglian, yes, it was much better looking than when he was at home, he had already lost his sickness, and he was like a hibiscus in the morning, and under the sun, it looked completely different from the simplicity of the tavern. Jiang Nanshan said with a smiling face: "It's a little girl, I didn't find it from elsewhere, I can't afford to hire people, I have to let her come out to do things, the family is ruined, and I can't support idlers." ”

Zhu Caizhu said: "Even if you agree to do business here, you can't ruin the atmosphere here, and let a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet show her face, what kind of system will it become?" I'll find you someone to change her, she can go to my house to serve tea and pour water, what is it on the side of the road like this? Sooner or later, it will also make any of the people who drink too much go to waste. He looked at Jiang Nanshan, Jiang Nanshan thought it was a good doctrine, he didn't want his daughter to help him do business here, he didn't know what might happen to his daughter when he entered the rich man's mansion.

Shi Qi took over and said: "The owner of the village may not know that she is already a villain's insider, and she is not suitable to go to the house." I'm her man, no matter who drinks too much, no one will be able to bully her, Lang Lang Qiankun, now the king is strict. Zhu Caizhu smiled and said: "I admire your courage, much better than my subordinates, do you think which of them dares to take my words?" With me, they wouldn't dare talk to you without my consent. He looked at the people he brought, looked at Jiang Nanshan proudly, and asked, "Is it true?" Your daughter is in his hands? Or listen to you? Jiang Nanshan looked at his daughter a little embarrassed, he had already sold him once, and he had no face to be his daughter's master again.
