Chang Qi also saw the spark and said to Ma Fei: "Third Brother Ma, there should be something wrong in the village, this is a signal to lead the way back to the village......"

Ma Fei nodded, turned to Su Lian and said, "Brother Su, we should have found a place to have a drink this time, but I have to go first now......"

"Brother Ma has something, so naturally he should take affairs as the priority, and the younger brother understands!" Su Lian said immediately.

"Brother Su, about one hundred and twenty miles north of here, there is a Daba Mountain, if you have the opportunity to go there, you will find another place called Duoyun Mountain in the mountain, and our village is on it. If you go, report the name of Ma San, and naturally someone will lead you up, and then we can be brothers again. Ma Fei said solemnly.

"It's okay to report my Chang Qi's name!" Chang Qi interjected with a laugh on the side.

"Little brother remembered. I will definitely find a chance to drink with Brother Ma, and by the way, thank Brother Chang for saving his life. This safe escape, thanks to Brother Chang's death, you must come to thank you! Su Lian said loudly.

Chang Qi laughed and said: "Brother Su is too polite, I Chang Qi traveled all over the rivers and lakes, added blood to the knife, and the third brother Ma is also like-minded and takes care of each other." The fact that I was able to save you this time was really due to chance. Brother Su doesn't have to go to his heart, but if he can drink with me from time to time, I am still happy to accompany him...... Hahaha"

Su Lian also said with a smile: "Brother Chang is indeed full of pride, the younger brother admires it very much, if he can drink more with Brother Chang, the younger brother is very happy." ”

Ma Fei said again: "Brother Su's family lives far away? I'll send a few brothers to escort you back. ”

Su Lian hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Brother Ma can't help it, I think Brother Ma and Brother Chang are now employing people, don't torture the little brother." Besides, my house is not far from here, so it is not a problem to walk back by myself. ”

"Good!" Ma Fei raised his hand and patted Su Lian on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Su, take care of yourself, we will have a date later!" ”

Chang Qi also hugged his fists and said: "There will be a meeting in the future, Brother Su, if you have the opportunity, you must come and have a drink with us!" ”

Su Lian also hugged his fists: "Okay!" Brother Ma, Brother Chang, be careful all the way! There will be a period later! ”

Ma Fei looked at Su Lian deeply again, and turned around with Chang Qi to leave. When they went out of the gate, Su Lian heard the sound of a horse galloping, and the sound grew farther away.

Su Lian exhaled deeply, looked up at the sky, and felt like he had been closed by the ghost gate, but he had changed back to a new self. Strode out of the gate of the county government, identified the direction, and went home.

Yutian Village, located eighteen miles northwest of the county seat, is a village with mixed surnames. The village is backed by a hill called Black Pine Mountain, and in front of it is an unknown river that flows into the Xisha River. More than 80 years ago, since a man surnamed Zou settled here with a group of refugees displaced by hunger, there has been a permanent number of residents here. Later, the wandering people gradually opened up the wasteland and built houses here, and now there are more than 100 families.

The Su family migrated more than 50 years ago, when Su Lian's father, Su Shunde, was still a baby under the age of one. Su Lian's mother, Yu Yuelan's family, came with the clan more than 30 years ago, and the family of dozens of people became the largest family in the village as soon as they came.

However, Yu Yuelan is a protégé and has not been touched by much interest in the family, and when she married Su Shunde, she was also considered a poor family. But Yu Yuelan was a well-known beauty when she was young, and there were many rich sons in the neighborhood who came to ask for marriage, and finally married Su Shunde, also because Su Shunde had studied and had a good character.

Su Lian walked on the road, thinking of his father and mother, and his sister Su He, and his heart was warm. The sky gradually brightened, and Su Lian unconsciously quickened his pace. Although he had never eaten enough in the county dungeon, he didn't feel hungry and uncomfortable at all when he walked home at the moment, but was full of energy.

Red light has appeared in the east, and the sun, like a baby about to be born, is drawing its last strength, waiting for the moment to erupt. The familiar village was already in front of him, but Su Lian slowed down again. Looking at the rows of rows of houses with black tiles, and some early risers had already smoked from their homes, he was inexplicably excited. It was only more than two months away from home, which was not a long time, but this time he thought he would die, and he never thought that he would be able to escape from the ascension, thinking of the worries of his parents and sister, he couldn't help but be excited, and accelerated his pace.

The trees in the village were thick, and the early birds chirped in the branches, as if welcoming Su Lian back, which made him feel very cordial. Breathing deeply into the familiar smell of freedom, his ears were full of the cries of the children in the village, the shouting and scolding of the adults and the coughing of the old man, and the corners of Su Lian's mouth kept a smile that could not be hidden.

Seeing that he had reached the door of the house, Su Lian stopped and looked up at the big willow tree outside the courtyard gate, the willow flowers were in bunches, and it was flourishing, and the magpie was flying around on the branches and calling to greet Su Lian. The courtyard door is hidden, and although the blessing words written on the red paper on the door are no longer bright, they are still strong and stick to the door, and they have not been broken and fallen off.

There was a sound of fetching water in the yard, Su Lian walked to the door, and guessed in his heart whether it would be his mother or sister who was fetching water at this time? Are they okay?

With a "squeak", Su Lian gently pushed open the courtyard door, and saw a slender figure, stubbornly standing by the well, struggling to draw water from the well. The petite body seems to be weak, but it contains tenacious strength, which makes people feel pitiful.

"Xiao He?" Su Lian shouted, but he felt that his throat was dry and hot, and his voice trembled a little.

His voice was not loud, but the figure was shocked, and half of the bucket he pulled up "plopped" and fell into the well. A face like a pear blossom turned around, as bright and fresh as morning dew, revealing a slight reddish and refreshing coolness.

"Brother! ......" Su He dropped the rope in his hand, ran over quickly, and threw himself into Su Lian's arms.

"Brother...... You're back! I'm worried about death......" Su He buried his head in Su Lian's arms and said crying.

Su Lian also had a sour nose, tears in his eyes, touched Su He's hair, and said with a smile: "Brother, isn't he back, don't cry, brother, nothing ...... anything."

Su He cried more and more, sobbing and shaking in Su Lian's arms. Su Lian pulled her up, looked at her pear blossom and rainy face, wiped away her tears with his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, brother is fine, don't cry." The little girl is beautiful again, and it won't be beautiful if she cries again......"

Su He burst into tears and laughed, punched Su Lian, and said, "Hmph, come and laugh at me again, brother, you are getting uglier and uglier the longer you get......"

Su Lian laughed, touched his cheeks, stubble, and realized that "No, you have to teach your brother, how can you be beautiful......

Su He turned his face away and said coquettishly: "I won't teach you......"

"Is it Lian'er?" A voice sounded at the gate, and Su Lian looked at it, but it was her mother Yu Yuelan standing there with tears on her face.

"Mother!" Su Lian shouted.

Yu Yuelan also ran over excitedly, Su Lian held her trembling hands and said, "Mother, the child is back." The child is not filial, which makes you worried! ”

Yu Yuelan touched Su Lian's face with her hand, straightened his hair again, and choked up: "Poor boy, how did they spoil it like this......" After speaking, she kept helping him arrange his hair and clothes with both hands.

"Mother, I'm fine, it's just a little dirty." Su Lian said with a smile.

"And I still have the heart to laugh, after such a big disaster, you don't have a heartless ......" Yu Yuelan also slapped Su Lian, tears in her eyes.

"Lian'er is back?" Su Shunde rushed over from inside the door, with tears in his eyes, and said to him, "How did you get out?" Is it okay inside? We go to the county office every day to look for you, but we are not allowed to see each other, it is really ...... Alas, it's hard for your mother, crying every day......" said don't turn her head and wipe her tears.

"Dad, I'm fine, I was rescued, you don't have to worry anymore." Su Lian replied.

"Rescued? Will it be dangerous? What about the people in the county office? Su Shunde then asked.

Yu Yuelan pushed Su Shunde and said angrily: "You bad old man, the child just came back, ask so much what to do, and go to ...... at the same time"

Su Shunde sighed and walked to the side, Su Lian. Yu Yuelan touched his cheek again, and said gently: "Lian'er, you haven't eaten it yet, see that you are so thin that you are skinny, my mother will make something delicious for you!" ”

As she spoke, she walked to the kitchen, shouting as she went: "Xiao He, go to the chicken coop and catch a hen and slaughter it." ”

"Good!" Su He agreed, stuck out his tongue at Su Lian, and turned around. Su Lian really felt hungry at this time, so he ran to his room and got a few changes of clothes, and fetched water by the well to wash up.

Su Shunde is not as rough as ordinary croppers, because he often teaches in private schools, but his skin is whiter than ordinary people. However, he usually has a penchant for smoking pipes, so he took out his pipe in the courtyard and smoked it at the stone table in the courtyard.

Su Lian began to work in the fields when he was a child, often bare in the sun, his skin was wheat-colored, and he was tall and strong. At this moment, I took off my clothes, and I looked more masculine and imposing. After washing his body, he shaved his beard again, washed and straightened his hair, and suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable. Looking at the reflection on the surface of the water, the thick eyebrows and starry eyes are handsome.

turned around and saw Su He standing behind, staring at him, and said with a smile: "Little girl, what are you looking at?" ”

Su He blinked, wiped his eyes again, widened his eyes, and said, "Brother, you have really become good-looking." Going out like this can fascinate a lot of girls! ”

"Girl, learn from me, make fun jokes about me......" Su Lian said with a raised face.

Su He bit his lower lip, hummed for a long time, and said, "Yes......" After speaking, he smiled and ran away.

"Begging for a beating!" Su Lian said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, come and eat!" Yu Yuelan came out of the kitchen with a bowl of chicken noodle soup, Su Lian hurriedly went over to receive it, and shouted, "Okay, I'm starving to death, I can finally eat the chicken noodle soup made by my mother again!" ”

He didn't go back to the house, but when he brought it to the stone table, he began to eat it heavily. Yu Yuelan watched, shaking her head and wiping her tears while laughing.

Su Shunde also sat at the stone table, and said to Su Lian at this time: "During the time when you had an accident, the girl of the Yu family was also in a hurry, and often came to ask you if she cared about you. Now that you're back, you should take the time to visit her. ”
