Chapter 38: Joy
"Daddy, second grandfather, I'm here!"
As soon as the three-meter-tall tiger stopped, Da Zhuang couldn't wait to jump off the tiger's back and rushed towards Lin Hu.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu directly turned the tiger transformed by the mana into a mana that was scattered in the sky and disappeared into the air.
"Zhuang'er, you ......"
Lin Hu looked at the lively Da Zhuang in front of him and felt a little unreal. In his cognition, the patterned ghost leopard has a ferocious temperament, and Da Zhuang can't last long at all, but at this moment, Da Zhuang magically appears in front of him.
"Daddy, look who's coming!"
Da Zhuang pointed towards Lin Xiu in the distance. Lin Hu and everyone suddenly turned to look at the figure, that person was not tall, with fresh short hair, although he was still young, his eyes were like stars in the sky, very different, giving everyone present a very familiar feeling.
"Second grandfather, Uncle Tiger, and everyone, I'm ...... I'm back, son...... Lin Xiu is home!"
Lin Xiu looked at the people present with red eyes, and the tears that lingered in his eyes couldn't be stopped after all, and they burst out of his eyes. It's been more than three years, and he's been away from that "home" for more than three years. The thoughts that have accumulated in my heart burst out at this moment like water breaking through the embankment.
Over the years, he has been thinking about them all the time, how many times he has dreamed of returning to his hometown, how many times he has secretly shed lovesick tears, he is just a child, and in his heart, nothing is more important than home.
Lin Meng had been observing the young man in front of him since the tiger that had been transformed into mana appeared, and he had already vaguely guessed that it was him. At this moment, he is in tears. If Lin Fei's love for Lin Xiu is as heavy as his father's love, then Lin Meng is like a mountain's love for him between his grandson and grandson.
When Lin Fei carried Lin Xiu, who was still in swaddling clothes, back to the village, in addition to Lin Fei, Lin Meng also slapped the table in approval. After seeing that Lin Xiu had strength far beyond his peers at the age of one or two, he favored Lin Xiu, and often taught him some fighting skills intentionally or unintentionally.
Three years ago, when Lin Xiu was sent away by Lin Hu, Lin Meng was collecting medicine outside, and it was not until the sixth day after Lin Xiu left that Lin Meng returned to the village.
After learning that his most beloved little grandson was sent to the academy alone, he almost turned his face with his eldest brother, the patriarch, if it weren't for the persuasion of Lin Fei and others, he would have rushed to Mocheng to bring the little grandson back.
Now seeing that his little grandson has returned intact, he is speechless with excitement at this moment.
"Yes...... Xiu'er, is it my Xiu'er?"
"The second grandfather is Xiu'er, and the child is Xiu'er. Lin Xiu choked back tears and walked to Lin Meng's side.
Lin Meng stroked Lin Xiu's little head with trembling hands, and his eyes were full of doting expression.
"Little guy, you have grown taller and your body has grown a lot, tell the second grandfather what you have experienced over the years, whether anyone has bullied you, and the second grandfather will clean him up for you. ”
When the rest of the people present saw the scene in front of them, they all kept silent with interest, leaving time for the pair of grandchildren.
......
Time passed little by little, but Lin Meng and Lin Xiu were still talking, both of them were happy for a while and worried for a while.
"By the way, why didn't you see Uncle Fei?" Lin Fei glanced at the crowd and didn't see Lin Fei.
Lin Fei and a few brothers stayed in the village to prevent other wild beasts from attacking. Lin Hu said on the side.
"Xiao Fei has been talking about you all these years, let's go back quickly, otherwise they will be in a hurry!" Lin Meng explained.
In this way, everyone packed up their things and walked together towards the way they came.
"Little guy, I heard Zhuang'er just now say that you slaughtered the patterned ghost leopard, is it true?" Lin Hu asked curiously on the way back. Although he knew that Lin Xiu's strength was abnormally strong since he was a child, he was still a child, and he was a little unbelievable.
"Why, is it strange that Xiu'er has such a ability, can't she do it yourself and don't allow others to do it?" After Lin Meng heard Lin Hu's words, he asked him with an unkind face.
"Well, no, how could I not believe it, Xiu'er has been talented since she was a child, so she can naturally do it. After Lin Hu noticed Lin Meng's tone, he hurriedly explained.
"That's pretty much it. Lin Meng's face was ruddy at the moment, as if he was ten years younger, and he was extremely proud of Lin Xiu.
Of course, Lin Xiu, who was caught in the middle, was very sad, there were elders on both sides, and they were very protective of themselves, so they were in a dilemma for a while, so they had to smirk.
......
Soon, the appearance of Lin Village appeared in front of everyone's eyes, every grass, tree, brick and tile here was deeply imprinted in Lin Xiu's heart, and it played an indispensable part in his memory.
"It's here!"
As soon as Lin Hu finished speaking, he saw a person quickly running from the village, he was tall, handsome, wearing a wolf skin shirt, his muscles were bulging, and he had a sense of strength. His person was Lin Fei.
"How is it?, Da Zhuang, is that kid okay?" Lin Fei hurriedly asked.
"Uncle, I'm fine!" Da Zhuang walked out of the crowd and said to Lin Fei with a smile.
"You kid, it's a shame to worry about everyone, but it's okay!" Lin Fei let out a sigh of relief, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally let go.
"Hey, who is this little guy?"
When Lin Fei saw Lin Xiu standing beside Lin Meng, he couldn't recognize him. Although he saw a familiar look from the contours of his face, Lin Xiu's appearance had changed too much after all, three years was a process of rapid growth for a child, and the current Lin Xiu was like two people from the little kid before!
"Uncle Fei!" Lin Xiu spoke, he didn't say much, but he knew that Lin Fei would definitely be able to hear it.
Sure enough, when Lin Fei heard it, as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes looked at Lin Xiu with extremely hot eyes, and his hands were clenched tightly. He whispered.
"Lin Xiu?"
"Well, it's me, I'm ...... Lin Xiu!" Lin Xiu smiled at Lin Fei, he didn't shed tears, because Lin Fei had warned him more than once that men can't shed tears!
"Hahaha...... Good!good!good!"
Lin Fei laughed excitedly, and then said hello three times in a row, his eyes were clear, staring at the young man in front of him, wanting to see his experience over the years thoroughly.
"Go home, the village chief, they're waiting!"
Surprisingly, Lin Fei didn't say much, as if he had known about Lin Xiu's appearance. However, how many people can understand this feeling of being speechless when they see each other?
Perhaps only people who have truly cared about others, who have really gone to their hearts, and who have resonated with them, can understand this little-known feeling.
"Hurry back and let the women cook the meal, and bring out the home-brewed wine and dried meat, and celebrate it tonight." Hurry up!" Lin Meng instructed a young man in his twenties beside him, who immediately rushed towards the village when he heard it.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
......
"Is the fire lion leg roasted? Hurry up, it's urging over there!"
"Stir-fry the boar for a long time, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow!"
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, this python can't get on the waist. ”
"What's the matter, Sister Hua, this looks pretty fresh!"
"Well, this, I'm a man...... His waist is not good these days, and the second uncle said that he can get a waist to cure. ”
"Oh, you see Sister Hua's face is flushing, no wonder I found that Brother Niu's body has been getting thinner and thinner recently, it seems that Sister Hua is ...... at night Hee-hee!"
"Xiaohua, come here, you talk nonsense again, see if I don't tear your mouth!"
"Oh, Sister Hua, I was wrong, it hurts, don't say it, don't say it!"
......
I saw that in Lin Village, on a wooden table dozens of meters long, there were plates of delicacies, most of which were meat, and there were also camellia wild fruits, etc., one after another, almost filling the table.
The long table was full of people, from the little baby waiting to be fed, to the old man with white hair, almost all of them were in Lin Village!
Patriarch Lin Ruhai sat in the middle of the table, he slowly stood up and spoke.
"Fellow compatriots in Lin Village, the reason why we set up a long table banquet today is mainly to celebrate the return of one person, and he is Lin Xiu. ”
"Three years ago, we sent him out of the village to study, and now, he has returned from his studies, and with the power of one person, he defeated an adult patterned ghost leopard and saved Da Zhuang, which can be described as superb martial arts. Come, let's raise a toast to him. ”
The patriarch raised his glass, and the rest of the people stood up and raised their glasses to their eyebrows.
"!"
All the staff of the Lin clan drank all the wine in their cups at this moment. Seeing this scene, Lin Xiu burst into tears. Isn't all he looking forward to living with them again all these years?
Unlike the rest of the academy, he was not so crazy about power that he overshadowed everything, all he hoped for was such a simple life.
"Okay, let's eat!" Lin Meng gave an order, and everyone was already hungry, and immediately gobbled up the food on the plate.
"Well, who burned these six golden ducks? It tastes so good!"
"This whiskered fish is also good, it tastes delicious!"
"My tricolor finch, don't grab it!"
"I said Xiaoniu, I used to see you as a strong guy, why did you marry my Xiaohua and lose weight like this for so long, isn't that girl's food not good?"
"No, what's the matter, she cooks very well, I've been feeling unwell lately, and I'm a little anorexic. ”
"Then how can it be done, come, eat a piece of lamb kidney, and make up for it. ”
"It's waist again...... Waist, I ...... I ......"
......
The people of Lin Village ate very quickly, in just a while, a large table of food was already in a mess, after greeting Lin Xiu, many people went back to their respective homes to rest, they still have a lot to do tomorrow. Some women also stayed behind to clean up the remnants.
Under the starry sky, Lin Xiu and Lin Fei were one big and one small, lying on the top of the back mountain, listening to the wind dancing in their ears, the moonlight pouring like water in every corner of the earth, and rows of birds crossing the sky, flying day and night in the distance.
"Look at those birds in the sky, I remember that in order to catch them, you always asked me to teach you how to shoot arrows!" Lin Fei said earnestly, his heart full of sweet memories.
"Yes, since we learned archery, no bird has ever flown to us. ”
"No matter how high the bird flies, it has to go home!" Lin Xiu muttered as he lay on the top of the mountain.
"Boy, do you plan to go out when you come back this time?" Lin Fei turned his head to Lin Xiu and asked.
"I ......"
When Lin Xian wanted to answer, for some reason, it was difficult to open his mouth when the words came to his lips. He suddenly remembered Luo Feng and Liu Lang, when the three of them entered the tower together, but they were separated by a mysterious force, and he himself returned to his hometown by mistake.
"I don't know how they are, but ...... She. ”
At night, Lin Village is extraordinarily quiet, and countless stars are like treasures under the moonlight, which is exceptionally bright. On the mountain behind Lin Village, Lin Xiu was sleeping soundly on Lin Fei's broad arm, and a happy smile rippled on the corner of his mouth.
