Chapter 4: "Family" (1)
The town is named after a spring that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the town is quite small, with a population of about 4,000, which is an ordinary town in every way.
Pang Shiyuan saw from a distance that Guquan Town was really not a tall city wall and city gate, and there were a few soldiers standing there crookedly at the city gate, saying that they were standing guard, but in fact, they were just chatting, ignoring the crowd coming and going.
Pang Shiyuan's arrival attracted the attention of the soldiers, who told him to dress up as a young man now. In this quiet and peaceful town, the few heroes in the rivers and lakes are also a rare kind of existence.
For the real people of Jianghu, they don't look down on this bit of oil and water in Guquan Town at all. Therefore, the people in the rivers and lakes who will go to places like Guquan Town are almost all down-and-out third-rate martial artists. Therefore, Pang Shiyuan, a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, is particularly eye-catching.
On the night when he discovered the treasure map of mountains and rivers, Pang Shiyuan burned the scribe's clothes clean, and even the slag was washed into the stream. Moreover, he also took a shower by the way.
Pang Shiyuan didn't read much film and television novels in his previous life, and he knew a lot of tracking skills on the rivers and lakes, among which fragrance is a big nirvana. Therefore, when he burned his clothes, he also burned all the five layers of brocade that wrapped the bone box. And the bone box and wax pills also did not escape the fate of cleaning.
After such a cleanup, Pang Shiyuan didn't believe that anyone could find him by following the smell, so he continued on the road with confidence.
The soldiers' attention was only to pay attention to the salute, and they did not do anything to hinder Pang Shiyuan's entry into the city. The soldiers who have been city gate officials for a long time have a pair of clear eyes, and they know who can be provoked and who must not be provoked. Jianghu people belong to the category that must not be messed with.
People in the rivers and lakes come and go, their deeds are uncertain, and once they commit crimes, they will fly away, and there is no way to trace them. suffered a loss at the hands of the Jianghu people, and generally speaking, there was no chance of revenge. And if it's remembered, it's even worse.
Walking on the road of Guquan Town, looking at the street scene on both sides of the road, which is not prosperous, but also thriving, a sense of familiarity and intimacy arises spontaneously.
This familiarity and intimacy was, of course, not the feeling of his soul from Earth, but the memory of his original soul from this body.
He inherited 100% of the memory of the young Pang Shiyuan, and said that his memory was even clearer than that of the young Pang Shiyuan. After all, human memories are gradually forgotten, and the older they are, the easier it is to forget. However, Pang Shiyuan completely inherited the memories of the young Pang Shiyuan, and these memories even included the memories of the baby that the young Pang Shiyuan had long forgotten, and every moment was extremely clear.
Therefore, when Pang Shiyuan saw the scene on the street and the crowd of people coming and going, it was natural to overlap with the memories in his mind, and it was inevitable that he would feel familiar and friendly.
At this time, a shouting figure on the street entered Pang Shiyuan's sight, and he couldn't help but stop. This middle-aged figure is very familiar to him, and it is one of the earliest memories of his life, Aunt Yu.
Sometimes, it's not a good thing to have too clear memories, for example, what comes to his mind now is the snow-white and full room of his nurse Aunt Yu more than ten years ago, which makes him react immediately.
Pang Shiyuan shouted in his heart: "Amitabha, sin, sin!" "While running the internal strength and mind method rapidly, calm the restlessness of the heart and blood. You must know that Aunt Yu's status in the young Pang Shiyuan's heart is only lower than that of his own mother, but now he is desecrating the other party's body, it is really undeserved!
Pang Shiyuan finally calmed down the restlessness of his body, but found that Aunt Yu's eyes were fixed on him. Aunt Yu's expression was a little excited, and she was a little puzzled, obviously unable to determine whether her own thoughts were correct.
Pang Shiyuan didn't let Aunt Yu wonder for long, so he walked in front of her and said, "Aunt Yu, I'm Shiyuan, why don't you know me?" I'm back from my studies. I haven't seen you in a few years, but you've always been good? ”
"Ahh It's really the second young master, you're back. You're so memorable! Aunt Yu's excitement was beyond words, and she completely forgot the difference between master and servant, and directly grabbed Pang Shiyuan's arm and looked it up and down.
Pang Shiyuan didn't dodge, just stood there and let Aunt Yin look at him, and his eyes looked at Aunt Yu in turn. Looking at this, Pang Shiyuan felt wrong.
The ancients got married and had children earlier, although Aunt Yu already had two children, the eldest one was about the same age as him, but in fact, he was only in his early thirties, at most he was just a. But Aunt Yu looks a little old now, at least ten years older than her actual age.
"Could it be that something has happened in the family in the past few years?" Pang Shiyuan had a bad guess.
Aunt Yu finally retracted her gaze with satisfaction, obviously the handsome Pang Shiyuan made her very satisfied, but there was still some complaint in her mouth: "Why don't you come back once in five years, the lord and the lady are very worried." ”
Pang Shiyuan hurriedly admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, I always want to live up to my family's expectations and seize the time to practice well, but I forget about my family." But Aunt Yu, why are you setting up a stall here, aren't you doing it at my house? ”
Although Aunt Yu did not sell herself to the Pang family, she has always worked in the Pang family, and Pang Shiyuan's memory alone has been more than ten years.
Aunt Yu hurriedly shook her head: "No, no." With Mrs. Meng's permission, I will take advantage of my free time to do something to subsidize the family. Other times, it is still used in the house. ”
As soon as she said this, she saw that Pang Shiyuan was still puzzled, and quickly changed the topic: "Young master, don't worry about my trivial matters." You're coming back just now, the lord and the lady don't know you're back, let's go back to the house first! ”
Pang Shiyuan was still followed by the black horse, and there was a package on the black horse, and he knew that he had just come back at a glance.
As she spoke, Aunt Yu picked up the box containing the money and said to a middle-aged woman on the side: "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, you can show me this stall first." I'll go back to the house first, and the second young master of my family is back. ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'm here."
The Pang family is a big family in the small Guquan Town, with a lot of fields and a few shops, and the family's life is not particularly wealthy, but it is generally decent.
When Pang Shiyuan and Aunt Yu came to the front of the Pang Mansion, there was already a group of people waiting there in front of the Pang Mansion. It turned out that on their way back to the house, someone had already spread the news of Pang Shiyuan's return to the Pang Mansion.
Of course, the person who sent the news was not very kind, but just for the generous reward of the master of Pang Mansion when he was in a good mood.
Standing at the front of the crowd was a middle-aged couple, who were Pang Shiyuan's parents, Pang Zhiyang and Zhu Yi.
Letting go of the reins of the black horse, Pang Shiyuan walked in front of his parents, and as soon as his body bent, he was about to bow down on his knees, but his mother Zhu Yi had already stepped forward and hugged him with tears in her eyes.
"Shi Yuan, my son, you have grown so big!" Zhu Yi's words expressed too many inner emotions. Even if she misses her son for many years, she also complains that her son has not come home for many years.
Pang Shiyuan's mind flashed with the memories of countless family members, and these memories obviously touched his emotions, but he was not a person who was very good at expressing his feelings, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
In his previous life, his relationship with his parents was quite estranged, like a mother and son embracing each other, and after he became a little sensible, he never appeared again. And after growing up and becoming self-reliant, he rarely went home.
