On a small hillside in Menshan Mountain, offerings are placed in front of the two Xinlei graves, and incense and candles are around. passed by and threw the paper ingots with a blank expression, letting them scatter on the candle flame and burn and turn into ashes; Scattered on the grass and turned to mud after the rain. The slight mountain wind blew, and the paper money on the grass rose with the wind, drifting to the deep mountains, dancing in the pines and cypresses, making a whining roar, and dissipating between the forests.

Two bones were moved from the mass grave in Jinshui County in the grave, which belonged to Uncle Dou and Uncle Huo of Tianmen Village. I never dreamed that the snitch farce five years ago would bring such a big change, such bitterness, and so blood.

In the face of the people from the county, this time the people in Tianmen Village couldn't even escape, let alone resist, and the poison of Fang Gege made them unable to exert any strength at all. In one fell swoop, the extermination of the "bandits" who had been entrenched for many years can be regarded as a great merit to the county order of Jinshui County.

tortured, and even threatened with the lives of children in the village, Uncle Dou had no choice but to admit the crime of colluding with the snitch to kill Lu Xiuyuan, the son of the imperial doctor. In addition to the previous crimes, together with Uncle Huo, as the leader of the bandits, he was sentenced to behead in prison.

The rest of the men were exiled, the soldiers were confiscated, the women were assigned to the armoured people as slaves, and the children were sent to the Yangzhou Mansion Ward to be taken in. The saddest thing is that the beggar Piggy, who was accused of being a snitch and was also sent to the north.

Except for Widow Zhao, no one cares about the wrongs of the little piglet, and no one mentions the whereabouts of the road. But no matter how noisy she is, the government doesn't care about it at all. She became a little in a trance, and after three years of cleaning Lu Xiuyuan's grave, she was picked up by a comrade of her deceased husband.

He made military achievements in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and was promoted to Guoyi Lieutenant and transferred to Tongguan to serve. This comrade specially came to Jinshui Town to pick up Widow Zhao, and helped the comrade who died in the war to take care of his widowed beautiful wife, and put her in the room.

A group of half-grown sons who were unwilling to be ordinary and idealistic followed this captain, including Wang Shouyi and Wang Shouxin, the restless boys of the Wang family, and the group of Orion teenagers under Tianmen Mountain.

The county lord of the year didn't know where he was transferred, and the golden water array regained its calm after a short period of hustle and bustle. It's as if the breeze is blowing across the water, swaying slightly, and nothing happens

The road out of Tianmen Mountain seemed to be calm, but a thorn was buried in his heart. If it weren't for themselves to lead the way, and if they hadn't made their own clever blood letters, how could they have suffered like this. But what happened to the people of Tianmen Village and the little pigs is not to blame anyone, because their greatest original sin is poverty.

The peach blossom forest behind the town is the place where Lu Xiuyuan first saw Widow Zhao. After passing by, I still remember my father's ecstasy and gaffe. When the figure of Widow Zhao was far away, she had the courage to say to her son: "Widow Qiao, filial piety, falls on such a woman, it is worthy of its name." ”

In front of Lu Xiuyuan's grave, the road of wearing linen and filial piety thought of this. There was a strange smile on his face, but there were tears in the smile, and he whispered as if complaining: "If you weren't so timid at the beginning, you would have married Aunt Zhao into the door a long time ago, why are you lying here so lonely now." ”

Seeing the tears on the road around him, Tang Xiaoqi, who was also kneeling beside him in linen and filial piety, held the road with one hand, and gently wiped his tears with one hand, feeling distressed.

"You know what? I was abandoned by my parents when I was born, and it was my father who raised me single-handedly. Can you imagine a man feeding his baby rice soup during the day and changing diapers at night? I didn't feel it at all when I heard him brag, but now I can't help but want to cry when I think about it.

Although he was not his own son, he has always been so good to me that I have no mother and have never felt bad. Although he often does not have the right form of a father, we have always depended on each other, and the relationship is very deep. Why, when I was just growing up, I was ready to show off to him that I was ready to marry a beautiful lady like a fairy. Just when he could serve him to fulfill his filial piety, he has been lying alone here for five years. ”；

As he spoke, his voice was condensed, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.

Tang Xiaoqi didn't know how to persuade him, but he felt very sad when he was on the road, and he was also very sad, so he cried bitterly with the road.

glanced at Boss Hu who was filial piety beside him, cried with "wow, wow", and then looked at the white scarf tied to his body. The two knelt neatly behind them and sighed wordlessly. Looking at this situation, he and Boss Hu inexplicably seemed to have become servants on the road.

The little monk without flowers recited the scriptures in front of the grave for a while, which was regarded as sitting on a ritual. Another wine was set up in the tavern in the town to thank the neighbors. The current owner of the tavern is Miss Xiaolian back then, and now Mrs. Wang Shouren. Shrewdly, she took care of Lu Xiuyuan's tomb and took over the tavern at half price, and the business was even more prosperous than Widow Zhao used to be.

Seeing Wang Fatzi's submissive appearance in front of Xiaolian, a wry smile appeared on his face when he passed by, it seems that there are still changes in this Jinshui Town. Yao Yao toasted the couple and knew that it was time for him to leave here.

In the county seat of Jinshui County, after visiting the Xuezheng University, he went to meet the current county magistrate, and finally restored his identity and fame. Not long after walking out of the county office, Boss Hu, who had been following, spat hatefully at the door of the county office.

"These officials are really too dark. Isn't it right to restore your identity and fame, young master, this can also hack two hundred taels of silver. ”

Boss Hu scolded angrily, feeling distressed, because the silver was taken out of his own bag.

Lu smiled slightly, and looked at the indignant Boss Hu: "Boss Hu, do you want to be an official?" ”

"Yes, of course I think, how nice it is to be an official. Sitting still, the silver flew to his side, and the beautiful concubines were sent to the backyard one by one. One word can determine life and death, how majestic. It's just that a person like me can also be an official? ”；

Boss Hu spat on the ground enviously, and said a little discouraged.

"Yes, of course you can, follow me to Chang'an. When the young master and I have gained fame and become a big official, you who follow me, is it not easy to be an official? ”

The road looked at Chang'an in high spirits.

On the way to Chang'an, Liuzi found that Boss Hu seemed to be a different person, and his spirit was different. From time to time, he also talks about a demeanor and puts on a style. couldn't help but ask, but Boss Hu looked at him with disdain.

"The master will be a person who will be an official in the future, how can he be the same as before.";

Seeing that Boss Hu was like a dog in front of him, he was busy before and after. Saturday took a sip. This kid didn't know what ecstasy soup he had been poured into, and he became obedient so quickly.

"Nine days open the palace, and all nations are crowned." Changan! This magnificent capital of the Tang Dynasty, it is graceful and elegant, it is full of economy, it is prosperous, it is inclusive, open, confident and atmospheric, it is the holy land in the minds of every Tang people.

At a glance, seeing the towering city wall, people seem to be unconsciously small. When Boss Hu and Tang Xiaoqi, the three people who had never been to Chang'an, were shocked, but the little monk Wuhua was not ready to enter the city. Instead, they left each other's addresses with the road and floated away with the little nun.

Boss Hu flinched a little and set up the carriage, and under the guidance of the road, he passed through the streets and alleys, drove into Pingwu Street, and saw the archway with the three big characters of "Ping'an Fang" written on it, and turned in.

The walls on both sides of the road are high and the courtyards are deep, and the trees are forested, and the people who can live here are either rich or expensive. The old lady Lu was able to live here because of a three-entry courtyard handed down by his ancestors.

Seeing the familiar three big characters of "Health Hall" on the door plaque, he called Boss Hu to stop the car, helped Tang Xiaoqi get out of the car and walked to the door, shouting: "Uncle Zheng, is Uncle Zheng there?" ”

A white-haired old man came out of the porter, muttering: "Come to the doctor, what are you yelling about!" ”

walked forward, rushed to the old man, and shook his body: "Haha, Zheng Bai is me, I'm back." ”

The old man was a little dizzy, and looked at the road for a long time with some suspicion: "This son, who are you?" ”

"Hehe, I'm a little bird, I'm back, Uncle Zheng, don't you actually know me?" He looked very happy when he passed by, and still grabbed the old man.

"Little birds? Yes! Young Master Sun, is that you? Are you back? Master! Master! Young Master Sun, he's back. The old man looked at the road carefully, and suddenly recognized it, and the young master in front of him was Young Master Sun, who had been missing for many years, and shouted excitedly, and rushed to the front hall after pulling the way.

A thin old man with a white beard and a thin body walked out of the front hall, and his faint old eyes carefully looked at the road behind Zheng Bo.

"Grandpa, my unfilial grandson has come back from the road, and I have come back to see you." With tears in his eyes, he knelt down in front of the old man, and Xiao Qi and Boss Hu Liuzi behind him also knelt down together.
