Chapter 4 There is a home on the banks of the Wei River

It's dawn.

Coming out of the hut, snowflakes drifted in the sky.

The north wind blew and it was chilly.

The old man and the people quickly set up the car and immediately hit the road.

I'm afraid that if I go late, the snow and the road will be slippery, and I will delay my trip home.

Chen Yu continued to rub the ox cart and followed everyone all the way to the southwestern suburbs of Chang'an.

The old man and his entourage put down Chen Yu near Fengyukou and turned north along the Feng River, and his house seemed to be in the direction of Kunming Pond.

"Young man, go about twenty miles to the northeast, and you'll be home, so I won't send you."

Chen Yu owed: "How dare you bother my father-in-law, I am grateful for helping each other for two days." ”

"Hey, don't be polite, young man, they are all township parties, they are out and about, help each other, and do a lot of work."

After saying that, the old man shook the whip, sang the old dialect of Guanzhong, and drove the ox cart away.

Chen Yu saw the first person he met in the Tang Dynasty Pingshui go away, and then turned around and went northeast.

From Fengyukou to Fanchuan, this road has been traveled many times, and it is very familiar.

Even after more than 1,000 years, the general topography will not change.

There are Qinling Mountains in the south of Guanzhong, and the Wei River passes through it, and the terrain generally presents a trend of high in the south and low in the north, and Chen Yu is almost all the way downhill.

In the wind and snow, I stopped by to observe how the southern suburbs of Chang'an were born more than 1,000 years ago.

Unexpectedly, at the foot of the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains, Chen Yu saw the Tang version of the "Ring Mountain Road".

Rammed earth roadbed, three or four carriages in parallel is not a problem at all.

Between the streams and trees at the foot of the mountain, there are many courtyards with carved beams and painted buildings and cornices.

If you want to come to the courtyard of most of the powerful families, Zhongnan Mountain has beautiful scenery and cool summer, so it is a good place to live and escape the summer.

However, it is very cold in the cold winter months, and few people haunt it.

Along the way, Chen Yu didn't meet a few people at all, and his extravagant hopes of hitchhiking again were disappointed.

Shengsheng walked more than ten miles and came to a plateau.

As expected, this should be Shenhe Plateau, but maybe it wasn't the name of the place in the early Tang Dynasty.

Standing on the hill and looking into the distance, in the wind and snow, you can vaguely see the outline of a majestic castle.

There, it's Chang'an.

The capital of the Tang Empire, the largest and most prosperous city in the world in this era.

As for the small plain under the Shenhe Plateau, it is Fan Chuan.

According to legend, Fan Chuan got its name because Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, gave this place to the general Fan Hao in the past.

Because of the flat terrain and fertile land, the river flows through it, and the water source is abundant, which is a famous and rich place near Chang'an.

Because of the beautiful scenery, not far from Chang'an City, there are many courtyards of wealthy families, and even royal gardens.

The instinctive consciousness of the original owner told Chen Yu that his home was in Fanchuan.

Meandering through the Wei River, the direction of home.

Chen Yu came down from Shenhe Plateau and saw a wooded hillock, which was inferred from later generations to be Xiangji Temple.

However, the temple was only built during the Tang Gaozong period, and it is now empty.

Eight rivers surround Chang'an, and the Weihe River is one of them.

Chen Yu stood on the riverside, feeling a little complicated.

It's not just because I'm about to get home, it's even more timid to be close to home.

I remember the last time I passed here, the construction site was in full swing, and it was said that a meridian lake would be artificially built by the Wei River.

Chen Yu has seen renderings on the Internet, and they are quite beautiful.

But standing on the riverbank at this moment, when he saw the Weihe River more than a thousand years ago, Chen Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Compared with the turbid river water in later generations, the Weihe River at this time was extremely clear and sparkling.

The river is also wider, and some sections of the river are perfect for boating.

There are many tidal flats on both sides of the river, and there are many withered lotus leaves and reeds burned by wildfires in the silt.

If you want to come to summer and autumn, the blue waves and clear streams, lotus leaf fields, and rippling reeds here are definitely a beautiful pure natural beauty.

Looking up at the other side, it was inferred from the relative position that it was his alma mater in later generations.

The place where you have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, studying and living for seven years, is very familiar.

Unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty, which was reborn thousands of years ago, is still circling in this area.

Is there a providence in the dark?

It seems that it is fate, and I love this land deeply enough!

Nostalgia for the past that can never be returned will only increase sadness, and today can be regarded as a complete farewell!

Chen Yu waved his sleeves and did not take away a single snowflake.

After that, we walked towards a village not far away.

At every intersection, there is no need to stop and think, completely subconsciously choose to turn left or right, and walk all the way through.

Chen Yu believes that "home" is at the end of the road.

Even if you lose your memory, you still know how to go home.

Sure enough, all the way over, a small courtyard of firewood appeared in view.

Very familiar!

A heart thumped.

My head suddenly hurt, and many images suddenly flashed through my mind......

……

"Lady of the Chen family, I'm sorry, it's snowing, the mountains are slippery and cold, we have to come back."

"Alas, I've been looking for more than ten days, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the beasts are infested, maybe ......"

"You must be uncomfortable to say this, but it is also true......"

"Wait for another ten days and half a month, if the person doesn't come back, you have to go to the government to report the disappearance......"

"Second Xu, persuade the lady of the Chen family, let's go first......"

Several men in the courtyard were gossiping and sighing.

I could faintly hear the woman's sobbing, which was very sad.

Chen Yu subconsciously pushed away the firewood and happened to meet the person who came out head-on.

"Xiao Yu'er, are you back?"

A few middle-aged men were surprised, and then surprised, as if they had seen a ghost.

How do they know their nicknames? Why such a strange reaction?

Without waiting for Chen Yu to be puzzled, someone shouted at the top of his voice:

"Lady of the Chen family, Xiao Yu'er is back."

"He's back by himself, come out and see......"

A moment later, a middle-aged woman with a haggard look and red and swollen eyes ran out of the room.

Seeing Chen Yu, after being stunned for a moment, he rushed over like crazy and hugged Chen Yu tightly in his arms.

After a long time, he let go of his hand, held Chen Yu's face and looked at it tightly, his lips trembled, and before he could make a sound, the big tears rolled down.

Chen Yu had an indescribable emotion in his heart, and shouted subconsciously:

"Mother!"

……

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Chen Yu had just washed and changed his clothes and sat in front of the brazier.

The middle-aged woman in front of her, who was half-old and well-groomed, grabbed Chen Yu's hand and was unwilling to let go at all.

His eyes fell on Chen Yu, and he didn't move away for half an hour.

Probably touching the scene, Chen Yu vaguely remembered some things.

Coincidentally, the owner of this body is also called Chen Yu, and people who know him well call him by his milk name - Xiaoyuer.

The woman in front of her was Chen, the mother of Chen Yu.

There are also a man and two women next to him, but the man is not Chen Yu's father.

From the vague memories and verbal conversations in his mind, Chen Yu learned that this person was Second Uncle Xu, and it was his father's Jinlan brother.

As for his father, Chen Yu didn't have the slightest impression.

It seems that many years ago, the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the death of the fleeing road, thanks to the protection of the Chen family who were pregnant with Liujia, thanks to the second uncle Xu, he came to Fanchuan to settle down.

Chen Yu is a posthumous child.

has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and of course, there is also Uncle Xu's family.

After coming to Fanchuan, Second Uncle Xu married a mute girl who also fled and was homeless.

The following year, she gave birth to a daughter named Rong Niang, who was one year younger than Chen Yu.

At this moment, they all looked at Chen Yu with concern in their eyes and asked long and short questions.

In this process, Chen Yu also probably figured out the ins and outs.

More than half a month ago, Chen Yu went into the mountains to hunt, but he did not return for a long time.

There were several cases of fierce beasts hurting people in the mountains, and Chen was worried, so he asked his neighbors to go into the mountains to look for them, but there was no progress and no news.

Seeing the heavy snow falling in the sky and the slippery and cold mountains and forests, the villagers had no choice but to give up.

Almost everyone is pessimistic that Chen Yu has become more than lucky.

In fact, this is indeed the case, but fortunately, there is a soul from more than a thousand years later who travels through time and space and is reborn in the Tang Dynasty.

So, the lost fish groped all the way and went home by himself.
