When Li said this, the old things came to his heart again, and he couldn't help but shed a few sad tears.

Liang Yulian took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears in Li's eyes, and for a while, she didn't know how to comfort Li, and looked at Li with sympathetic eyes, "Auntie, it's late at night, let's stop here tonight." ”

Li Shi blinked, looked at Liang Yulian and said, "It's okay, now, I don't feel sleepy." Maybe I drank wild ginseng tea just now, and tonight is very energetic! Listen to me. ”

"Hmm." Liang Yulian couldn't bear to accept Li's intentions, looked at Li, and nodded. Liang Yulian found that Li's eyes, which were a little old and dizzy and cloudy, flashed brightly in the dim light.

Li then recounted the past of the family's migration:

From Xinzhou to Guangzhou, you can take a boat along the Xinjiang River, pass through Zhaoqing, enter the Pearl River, and go all the way to the river and wind, which is very convenient. But the cost of the boat ride is not something that people like us can raise. Besides, even if the money from the sale of land is enough for the boat fare, our mother and I are reluctant to take it out. So, our mother and son planned to walk along the country road, Gaoming and Foshan, to Guangzhou.

Almost all the villagers came to see them off. Neng'er's uncle naturally came.

He brought his little nephew some rare wild lychees that he picked by chance from the mountains, with large fruits, thick flesh, and extraordinarily sweet.

Neng'er refused to eat it alone, and gave it to all on the spot. In the end, there were only two red lychees left in his hands.

Neng'er handed one to Xiaolan.

After Xiaolan tasted it, she spit out the kernel and put it in her hand, smacking her tongue with endless aftertaste, saying that she had never eaten such a delicious variety. Neng'er looked at the last lychee in her hand, thought about it for a while, and didn't eat it in her stomach, but buried it in the yard together with the wild lychee core in Xiaolan's hand.

The uncle said, "Silly boy, lychees need to be pressed to reproduce, and you can't grow them if you do this." ”

Neng'er asked, "Uncle, have you ever planted lychees?" "Nope. I heard the old people say that lychees can't be sown. ”

"You haven't tried it, how can you be sure that lychees won't grow? Besides, since this lychee is very special and delicious, it will definitely grow. ”

Uncle was stunned: This little nephew has very mysterious ideas in his head. He watched Neng'er bury the lychee in the soil and said, "Neng'er, even if this kind of lychee can sprout, grow into a big tree, and bear fruit, you will have to leave, and you won't be able to eat it." ”

Neng'er smiled and said, "I can't eat it, but you all can taste it." ”

A year later, the lychees that Xiaohui could sow really broke through the soil. Since then, Lingnan people know that lychee reproduction, in addition to pressing strips and cuttings, can also be born. Sixty years later, the only empress in Chinese history, Wu Zetian, issued an edict to give Neng'er's former residence as "Guoen Temple", these two deep-rooted lychee trees, for the villagers who built the temple to support a green shade, year after year, fruitful, moistening future generations...... That's all for later.

Our mother and son traveled day and night, sleeping in the open air, hardships and ups and downs, all the way to Guangzhou, and finally arrived in Guangzhou.

When our mother and son entered the city, it was already sunset. Guangzhou, the city that never sleeps, has entered another kind of prosperity.

Above the Pearl River, the twilight smoke is shrouded, the sunset is blurred, the fine lines are like scales, and the microwave is golden. On the river, there are building boats, painting boats, flower boats, small boats, and fish, carrying amorous sons; Gui Yi shook lightly and sent the enchanting lady. The river breeze is slightly smoky, sending the sheng flute silk and bamboo symphony, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, if there is nothing, the silk wisps, ethereal, like fairy music falling into the mortal world; At the beginning of the moonlight, the boats and boats are brightly lit, and the beauty is graceful, hazy, and trance-like, as if you are in the heavenly palace...... The buildings on both sides of the strait are scattered, thousands of willow threads are covered, every house is lit up with lights, and every household is laughing and laughing.

Neng'er looked around, his eyes were misty, stunned, and it seemed that a pair of eyes were not enough. A carriage galloped swiftly towards Huineng......

I hurriedly pulled Neng'er to the side of the road, and the wind brought by the carriage lifted his clothes. Li's soul was frightened, trembling all over, angry and angry, and couldn't help but slap Neng'er and teach him: "What to see, what to see!" What about your soul? Got snatched by the goblins? ”

Neng'er looked aggrieved, pouted and said, "Mother, I'm looking for broken temples on both sides of the street." Otherwise, we'll be sleeping on the streets again tonight. When I heard this, my eyes were hot, my heart was sore, and I almost burst into tears.

Neng'er didn't notice the change in her mother's mood, and continued: "What's so good about this place? In addition to the compound, shops, and buildings, there is not even a broken temple! ”

I said, "If you can't find it, forget it, tonight, we will stay in the hotel." ”

Neng'er said: "No, mother, it's too expensive to live in a hotel." It's good to sleep on the side of the street, and you can watch shooting stars. Really, I'm not scared at all. ”

Neng'er said: "Tonight's store money, but no matter what, I can't save any more." These days, our mother and wife live in a cave, stay in a broken temple, wind and rain, sweat and dust, never seriously wash their faces, let alone take a bath, their bodies are sour and smelly, similar to calling flowers. With this appearance, how can I go to the yamen tomorrow to meet Lord Wenlong! We'll have to go to the inn tonight and wash up. ”

"Mother," Neng'er called, but suddenly there was no follow-up.

I asked, "Neng'er, what's the matter?" ”

Neng'er opened her mouth, but stopped talking. "You kid, you've been worried about it since you were a child! What exactly are you trying to say? ”

Neng'er thought about it for a while, and said worriedly: "Uncle Wenlong, he is an official who is bigger than the county official, he, he really doesn't dislike us countrymen?" Will he really be nice to us both? In case ......"

I looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Master Wenlong, like your father, is a well-informed person, he and your father are close friends, and he will definitely treat you like a biological son and cultivate you." Son, you have to study hard, one, don't live up to the kindness of Master Wenlong; Second, your Lu family has been a scholarly family for generations, and you can't embarrass your ancestors. ”

Xiao Huineng nodded solemnly, with a very resolute look on her face: "Mother, don't worry." ”

I smiled with relief and said, "Of course my mother is relieved." You are a child sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva also said that you will be admired for thousands of years and generations. ”

Xiaohui can ask: "Mother, how can I be admired for generations?" ”

I said, "I'm a country woman, how do I know?" When you read the book in the future and understand the reason, you will probably understand. Like the sage Confucius, he knows astronomy and geography, the first five hundred years, the last five hundred years, and knows everything. ”

Neng'er said: "Like Zhuge Liang and Guan Gong, is it considered to be famous through the ages?" ”

"Yes, of course! Neng'er, if you can be a prime minister like Zhuge Liang and a loyal minister like Guan Gong, my mother will burn high incense......"

I yearn for it infinitely, and my face is filled with a holy look.

Our mother and son stayed in a modest inn. The next morning, we temporarily left our luggage at the small inn and came to the state office early.

Today, the state government seems to hold some major event, the majestic gate is newly painted, the flags fluttering on the high flagpole in front of the door, the clear water sprinkles the street, the loess cushion road, and the soldiers with knives line up along the street, as if waiting to welcome the arrival of some distinguished person.

I pulled Neng'er, leaned against the wall, and walked cautiously to the yamen.

"What are you doing, you guys?"

A servant stood in front of us and my mother.

At that time, I was so frightened that I was trembling, and I was just about to explain something, when on the high steps at the entrance of the state yamen, a person who looked like a master who was watching turned his head when he heard the sound and scolded: "Go and go, no wonder you were born to call Huazi life, and you don't even look at the time and place of begging, this yamen, is it a place for you to beg!" ”

Neng'er straightened her small chest: "We don't want food!" ”

The master waved his hand impatiently: "It's either called Hanako, or I'm here to fight a lawsuit." Let's go, let's go, there is a major matter in the yamen today, and the case will not be accepted. ”

I clasped my hands together again and again, and said with a smiling face: "This master, please inform us, and say that Lu Xingyao's family has arrived." ”

"Lu Xingyao? What Lu Xingyi? What is Lu Xingyi? ”

Neng'er took a step forward and said, "What are you!" You are not allowed to scold my father. The master squinted his little eyes and said, "Okay, okay, your father is not a thing, okay?" Now, you turn into a ball with your head in your hands - get the fuck off at once! ”

The master gave an order to the servant: "Drive us away immediately!" ”

Neng'er pushed away the hand of the official and shouted, "We are guests invited by your Lord Assassin Shi, why don't you let us in?" ”
