The autumn breeze continued, the yellowed dead leaves fell to the ground, and soon after the horses' hooves stepped past, the wheels also slowly drove into the entrance of the village, and the team of more than 300 people was fully equipped with swords and soldiers, showing the killing atmosphere of the spirit and wolf smoke, so that the villagers standing on the side of the road felt a huge oppression coming directly.

The swaying carriage, occasionally with the curtain rolled up, revealing a pale face, and a little later, the knight at the head of the front raised his arm: "Stop-" The slowly moving procession stopped, and the rolling wheels pressed against a dead leaf to a standstill.

Dongfang Sheng put down the curtain weakly, and his originally godless eyes suddenly had a bright look that he had never seen before, and he was on crutches with one hand; On the other side, he slowly stood up under the support of Yoshiko, and his pale face also had a solemn and majestic feeling, straightened the brand-new robe, and when he was about to get out of the curtain, he gently pushed Dongfang Yu away: "I'll go by myself!" ”

When Gongsun stopped coming over and wanted to help him, he also said this, and the rest of the way probably wanted to go on his own. Lifted the curtain and stood on the car, in front of the field of vision, as if a wind was blowing, and in the sight of the eyes that were blurred by something, there were all moving heads, with a smile on his face, and there were many people in the crowd who could recognize him even if he had been away for a few years, after all, he had lived here since he was a child......

“.…… Who that person is, something familiar. ”

“.…… I heard that it is a character who has been feuded...... When did we have such a person in our village? ”

"Hey, it seems that the second child of the Dongfang family is back......"

"I'll just say, no wonder it's so familiar."

"I remember that I seem to be a nerd, and I can even be a marquis? It's just that there's one arm missing. ”

“…… I'm afraid that Dongfang Ju is going to be finished. ”

The villagers whispered to each other, but even so, they still didn't dare to move too casually, after all, they had never seen anything in the world, and they were afraid that breaking the rules would cause trouble, and their faces were probably nervous.

"Listen, everyone!" A rough and arrogant voice sounded in front, and the giant man on horseback came to the side of the road with a horsewhip and swept it over one by one: "Today, Guhou Dongfang Sheng returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and specially prepared rice chestnut cloth for the fathers and elders in the village. ”

After Dian Wei said this with a fierce face, when he returned to the team, he turned around and swept everyone viciously: "Just take it, don't be too greedy, if you are caught, the whip will be light." ”

The surrounding villagers were naturally a little afraid, and they didn't even dare to say that they didn't dare, and then one after another there were still people who thanked the scholars on the car, and they went to the rear to line up to receive the reward.

"Let's go, I'd like to go and see at home."

After watching the scene of distributing food for a while, Dongfang Sheng turned around and whispered to Gongsun Zhi, got out of the car with difficulty, and walked towards the house in front of him step by step with crutches, in fact, he really wanted to talk to the villagers who still had some impressions, but his body was already struggling to support, and he didn't know when he would fall.

After walking for a while, people can't walk anymore, or Gongsun Zhi barely walked to the door with his arm between his arms, looking at the plaque at the courtyard gate, it seems that it has been renovated, but the two stone lions at the door are still the original pair, and there are nests left by the chaffinus in the corner of the eaves, and occasionally the slightest birdsong can be heard inside.

When the weak steps stepped up the stone steps, the old steward of the courtyard and several servants were there to greet them, and they were talking something with tears in their eyes, and the scholar had already walked in, but he just glanced at them indifferently, and then ignored them.

"The night my father died, these people didn't ...... at all Tears did not flow...... I was kicked out of the house by my brothers, and these people snuggled up to the door and laughed at them, and after many years, I thought I could talk to them...... It doesn't seem to be able to do so now......"

This village is not big, the scholar just turned around, looked at the familiar buildings around, and only stopped at the door of the room where he had sat halfway, and then turned around and left to go to the ancestral hall, in fact, it was just a simple room without doors and windows, semi-open, walked to the door and let go of Gongsun Zhi's support, his eyes were complex and calm, and there was a pair of men and women standing tremblingly in place.

The scholar didn't look at them, walked in tremblingly on crutches, came to the spiritual seat arranged on the tribute table in the ancestral hall, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Chief, I want to stay here for a while and talk to my brother and sister-in-law about family life." Dongfang Sheng turned his head slightly to look at Gongsun Zhi behind him, his eyes pleading.

Gongsun Zhi nodded, and withdrew from here with Gao Sheng, but it was not too far away, Hua Tuo, who had been accompanying the dispensing of medicine, was also not far from them, and when the sound of intermittent talking sounded in the ancestral hall over there, the old man stood there from time to time and looked at the ancestral hall, and then looked at Gongsun Zhi, and there was also unbearability and pity in his eyes, he sighed and turned his head, and was hailed as a miracle doctor, but after all, he could not really come back to life, and the young man's body was already his own will tenacious.

The sunset gradually burned out the fiery red clouds, and the fat man named Dongfang Ju came out of it and happily went to the kitchen to order a banquet, as if he and his younger brother had released their old suspicions. Gongsun Zhi looked at the man who ran away, turned around and entered the ancestral hall, the scholar was slowly walking out, smiling at him, but he didn't like it.

“…… Chieftain...... A small home...... It doesn't seem to be here. ”

"Hmm!"

"Rest here for the night, with ...... I...... Let's go back to White Wolf Plain. ”

The scholar smiled even more at this time, looking at the red-hot sky clouds in the west, the glow of the sun hit his face, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep, and as if he was recalling something, he opened his eyes after a while, and looked at Gongsun Zhi and Gao Sheng, "That's me...... Family. ”

……

The next morning came, and the team assembled at the gate of the house.

The frail scholar walked out of the courtyard gate and got into the car without looking back, behind him was his brother Dongfang Ju and a woman, after seeing his younger brother enter the carriage, the fat woman quietly stabbed her husband with her elbow, the latter nodded knowingly, walked to the figure that was about to get on the horse and bowed down, "Dudu, the grass people have something to ask." ”

Turning over the horse's back, Gongsun Zhi lowered his gaze and looked down at the other party's slightly raised round face: "What's the matter?" ”

“.…… Heard...... The candidate can take over......" The Dongfang saw rubbed his hands, glanced at the carriage that had left over there, and whispered: "....... The grass people's younger brother is not in good health, and he is ...... Behold, if he is...... Why don't you ...... Leave the throne to the grass people...... How is it? ”

The Law of Sighs –

The war horse turned the horse's hooves abruptly, and the man was frightened to take a few steps back, Gongsun Zhi's eyes were cold, and he glanced back slightly, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he beckoned to Li Ke next to him, and then took one last look at the scholar's brother, and pinched the horse's belly, and his voice came indifferently: "You stay and burn this place." ”

The fat man's smile froze, and then he reacted and rushed over quickly: "Dudu! Governor! In the midst of the anxious shouts, the mace struck down abruptly, and the chubby figure fell with a pop, and the woman at the door screamed and caused confusion, and then the team turned back and headed north, and the smoke rose into the sky in the direction of departure, and countless shouts and screams converged into one breath.
