Chapter 2 Things are not people
(New book for ticket support!) )
Lijiapo is only a few miles away from Lanqiao Street.
Backed by Wang Shun Mountain, in front of the village is Blue Creek. The whole Lanqiao Township, with many mountains and few lands, can be described as eight mountains, one water and one field. In that area, most of them are mountainous slopes. Because Lijiapo is close to Lanxi, there is a very rare flat land, and because it is close to the river, there is still a lot of land that is watered.
This piece of land in Li Jiapo is the ancestral land of Li Xiao's family for generations.
But now, the ancestral house and ancestral land have fallen into the hands of the Zhang family, and the only thing left of the Li family is the ancestral grave field, and now the Zhang family doesn't even want to let go of this ancestral grave field.
Li Xiao quickly whipped up and galloped towards the home in his memory.
On the edge of the blue stream, Qianmo is vertical and horizontal.
In winter, the fields are bleak. The fields are barren, no one grows the spring-blooming rape, and there are no greenhouses. There were not many people in the fields, except for the occasional sight of people chopping wood and herding sheep cowering and passing by.
The road was very cold, and the cold wind was blowing on the face like a knife.
In the distance, the ancestral house of the Li family was already in sight, but Li Xiao only glanced at it a few times, and then urged the horse to go to the other side. That ancestral house has too many memories of Li Xiao, but now it is occupied by the Zhang family.
Sooner or later, he will take it back, but not now.
Beat the horse to the ancestral grave of the Li family, the ancestral cemetery of the Li family is under Wang Shun Mountain, the ancestors of the Li family are buried here, the Li family also bought a field on the side, in the past, it was arranged for several tenants to cultivate here, and these fields were used exclusively for guarding the ancestral tomb and sacrificing purposes.
The little sister has no home, just now the guy said that after the Li family was framed by the Zhang family several times, the Li family owed the Zhang family a lot of money, and the Zhang family took away the Li family's shops, real estate and fields, and the only thing left of the Li family is this ancestral grave field.
The sky was overcast, and the north wind was calling.
The further north you go, the steeper the slope becomes, and the fields here are already all hillside land, which is far less than the riverside watering land of the Li family at the foot of the mountain.
Several thatched houses are scattered on the hillside, bordered by patches of loess slopes.
The houses are dilapidated and the land is barren.
The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the people in the thatched hut.
The wood door was pushed open a crack, and someone looked outside.
An old man looked out for a moment, his eyes wide.
In the house, a girl was holding another girl's hand, "Don't be afraid, my sister won't let that bully succeed." ”
After the girl finished speaking, she said to the old man at the door, "Dad, is that Zhang Chao bringing someone here again, when he received our old ginseng yesterday, he promised to give us another month, why did he come again?" ”
The old man swallowed his saliva, "Wanniang, it's not Zhang Chao, it seems to be ······· here."
"Who is it?"
"Dad's eyes seem to be spent, I look at this person as if it is San Lang, you can take a look."
When the girl in the house heard the word Saburo, she was suddenly stunned.
"San Lang." She whispered, a name she'd pronounced countless times in the past five years. But San Lang is already dead, and she has also seen San Lang's jade pendant, although she can't see anyone alive or dead, but the people in the Yamen also said that those robbers have confessed, and they snatched this jade pendant from that person after killing people, and the description of that person is also similar to San Lang.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, how can San Lang come back, he is already dead."
Another girl in the house had a glint in her eyes, "No, my brother is not dead, he is still alive, my father always believed that the third brother was still alive before he left." The third brother is back, is the third brother finally back? With that, she stood up.
The chai door opened.
Li Zhen immediately saw Li Xiao standing there.
It's been five years, and when he left five years ago, Li Zhen was only eight years old, and he was just a child at that time. Five years later, she was thirteen years old, old enough to marry.
The man in front of her, dressed in a blue cloth robe, with a sword at his waist, led a sweaty old yellow horse, and his face was still weathered, but she recognized him at once.
"Third brother, it's really you, you're finally back." Li Zhen's eyes widened and sparkled, and tears poured out at once.
"Sanniang, you are Sanniang."
Li Xiao looked at the thin girl with her eyes, Jing Hai cloth skirt, weak and couldn't help the wind, I felt pity. But those eyes were still so bright, and he immediately connected with the lovely little girl in his memory.
She is Li Zhen, nicknamed Sanniang, Li Xiao's sister.
Thirteen-year-old girl, it's a pity that she's so thin. Thinking of so many changes in the past few years, the Li family has suffered so much, and this girl has lost her relatives one after another, you can imagine how much suffering she has suffered.
"Sanniang, I'm the third brother, I'm back."
"Brother!"
Li Zhen threw herself into the forest like a milk swallow, crying and running to Li Xiao, hugging Li Xiao's waist tightly. This strong girl couldn't care about anything else at this time, just cried happily.
Li Xiao hugged the thin Sanniang, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Brother is back, brother will never leave again, brother will take care of you in the future."
"Brother, my mother died of illness four years ago, and my father also passed away three years ago. The yamen also sent you a jade pendant, saying that you had been killed by the bandits a long time ago·······"
Seeing her brother come back, the girl had countless things to talk about, she cried and talked intermittently.
Li Xiao patted her on the back and comforted her.
"I know, I know it, it's all my fault, let my family suffer such a big change, and make you suffer. From now on, my brother will not leave, and I will take care of you here in the future. ”
By the firewood door of the thatched house, Wanniang leaned on the firewood door, looking at the young man at the door in a daze, both familiar and a little unfamiliar.
He was taller and more handsome than ever.
This person who has been thinking about it for a long time really appeared in front of her, making her feel like a dream, and she couldn't believe it at all.
"San Lang." She muttered.
The old man stood next to him, and he kept wiping his eyes.
"Li Sanlang is really back, God is eye-opening."
"Dad, isn't my daughter really dreaming?"
"Saburo is back, Saburo is back!" Old man Zhao shouted happily and ran to every thatched hut.
After a while, many people who had been quietly watching and watching came out of the house. Several families living here are all tenants of the Li family, and they are also full of surprise when they see Li Sanlang returning.
Especially when I saw Li Sanlang actually riding back with a sword, and he actually brought seven or eight followers behind him, he was even more surprised.
"Brother, look at who this is, do you still recognize it?"
Li Sanniang, who was crying and red-eyed, had tears on her face at this time, but she was smiling like a flower. Like a happy little swallow, she took Li Xiao's hand and dragged it in front of Zhao Wanniang.
"San Lang." Zhao Wanniang had tears on her face and said with a smile.
Li Xiao nodded, "Sister Wan." ”
A Wanmei made Zhao Wanniang's tears gush out unstoppably again, he still remembered me and hadn't forgotten me.
"Fifth brother, you really haven't forgotten Sister Wan." Li Zhen shouted with a smile.
Li Xiao looked at Zhao Wanniang, half a head shorter than herself, the same Jing Hai Buchu, the same thin, but her hair was very dark and bright, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were bright and bright.
Li Xiao remembered that Zhao Wanniang was three years younger than herself, and she was eighteen this year. At this age, she is considered a big girl in this era.
He looked at Zhao Wanniang's hairstyle and was already crossed.
This should be a sign of being a wife.
Seeing this, my heart suddenly tingled a little, and I was a little lost.
"You're married?"
Zhao Wanniang nodded, "I got married, I got married four years ago." ”
"Oh." Li Xiao replied like this, and he didn't know what to say. Although in memory, Li Xiao ran away from home five years ago, and the reason was to help Zhao Wanniang. That time when Zhang Chao teased Zhao Wanniang, he was furious, and went up directly to cripple Zhang Chao.
But Li Xiao knows that in the past five years, Li Xiao has never regretted doing that.
"Brother, why don't you ask who she married?" Li Zhen said on the side.
"Who?" Li Xiao said casually.
"It's you." Li Zhen pulled her brother's arm, just like she did five years ago, when her favorite thing was to pull her brother's arm.
"Me?" Li Xiao was stunned.
He inherited all Li Xiao's memories, but he never remembered that he and Zhao Wanniang had married. Zhao Wanniang's father was a Jianghu Langzhong, and later broke his leg when collecting medicine, and his legs and feet were not good enough to stop traveling.
Li Xiao has been familiar with Zhao Wanniang since she was a child, she always liked to follow him when she was a child, the two grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and the relationship is good, but it has not yet reached the level of private lifelong contracting, let alone secretly marrying.
"Brother, five years ago, you were forced to run away from home for Sister Wan to come out and hurt that little bully, and Sister Wan was very moved. Later, news came that you were killed by thieves, and Sister Wan was in pain, and she offered to marry you. ”
At that time, Li Xiao was already dead, and Zhao Wanniang's proposal was rather peculiar, this kind of marriage was a living person marrying a dead person. Once married, it is to be a widow for life.
In the past, some large families had a son who died young, and they would usually buy a girl for the child to marry him, while some families would directly find a woman who also died early and did not marry to hold a secret marriage.
Li Xiao was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Wanniang to take the initiative to marry a dead man, and this dead man was still him.
He had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
Both moved and a little embarrassed, this time I have a wife.
It was something he hadn't thought of along the way.
"San Lang." Zhao Wanniang called him.
Li Xiao stood there stupidly, not knowing how to respond.
recognizes Li Zhen as his sister, Li Xiao is willing, and he has Li Xiao's memories and feelings. can be with Zhao Wanniang, who didn't get to this in the past, and now they suddenly become husband and wife, which is still too surprising.
"Brother, Sister Wan doesn't know how many tears I shed for you, in the past few years, so many things have happened in the family, and it is thanks to Sister Wan who has always taken care of me. Okay now, brother, you're back, Sister Wan won't have to shed tears in the future. ”
Wan Niang wiped her tears, "Don't call Sister Wan anymore in the future, call me sister-in-law." ”
"Yes, sister-in-law."
Li Zhen and Zheng Wanniang's pear blossoms bring rain, but Li Xiao is a little at a loss, I have a daughter-in-law?
If you've seen it, help you collect it!
