Ling Fei's eyes were firmly fixed on this man who looked very much like his father, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" ”

Ling Chaofeng couldn't say Xiaowan's name, so he said, "My wife." ”

At this time, Ling Ji came in from the back door, and when he saw a customer coming to the store, he naturally stepped forward, but after taking a look at Ling Chaofeng, he was also stunned, and the man with white hair was already in place, and couldn't help shouting: "Daddy......"

Ling Fei immediately walked over to his brother and said softly: "Brother, this person is very similar, right, he is exactly the same as his father when he was young." ”

The other people in the store also came out, the old and the young were very prosperous, Ling Chaofeng thought that this might be the children and grandchildren left by him in his previous life, and his heart was inexplicably a little happy.

"I think I'm mistaken, take my leave." He was determined not to stay here, this wonderful fate and messy generation, happy to happy, in his heart, after all, it was a mess.

The people of the inn did not stay, Ling Chaofeng rode away, returned to Baisha County, stayed in an ordinary inn in the town, and after eating something at will, he went to the street to stroll, in the teahouse, and listened to the stories of the local people in the past.

He inquired about the Lingxiao Inn, and an elderly man said with a smile: "Few people nowadays know that when it came to this radius of ten miles, when it came to the Lingxiao Inn, it could make disobedient children be honest and honest, and even the old men had to bypass some ...... when they walked through the inn."

He babbled about the events of the year, at that time, the Lingxiao Inn was still a black shop in the mouths of the people, but since Ling Chaofeng married Mu Xiaowan from Qingling Village, everything began to change.

What do you say about the New Year's holidays, there are gatherings in the town, and you can see that family coming to play lively, and when encountering natural and man-made disasters, Lingxiao Inn also generously helped many people.

After listening to the story for a long time, Ling Chaofeng came out of the teahouse, followed the direction pointed by passers-by, walked for more than ten miles, and arrived at a village, just like Lizhou Mansion and Baisha County, which also made him feel familiar.

There were children running out of the village, chasing and frolicking around him, Ling Chaofeng got out of the way and watched them run away with a smile.

He walked into the village and unconsciously walked to the door of Foreman Mu's house, Foreman Mu and Mu Wenbao had long since passed away, but the children and grandchildren of the Mu family were still here.

A woman in her forties and fifties saw him standing in the courtyard and asked enthusiastically, "Are you from a foreign country?" Looking for someone? ”

Ling Chaofeng asked, "May I ask if there is a person named Xiaowan in this village?" He remembered what the people in the teahouse said, so he said, "It's surnamed Mu, Mu Xiaowan." ”

The woman was stunned, stepped forward to look at Ling Chaofeng carefully, and asked: "Our family's surname is Mu, if you want to say Mu Xiaowan, that is the aunt and grandmother of the man in my family, who has been gone for more than 20 years, if you are alive, you will be more than 100 years old, you look at the appearance of being in your twenties, how can you recognize her and look for her?" ”

Ling Chaofeng was overjoyed in his heart, and looked at this family again and again, but the aunt of the Mu family became vigilant and asked kindly, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"My ancestors asked me to find it." Ling Chaofeng said nonsense, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the woman, "The elders in the family said that they owed Grandma Mu silver and asked me to send it, but I didn't expect the old man to leave." ”

"My aunt and grandmother have a lot of friends in the capital, but I've heard of it, you are from the capital, right?" Aunt Mu smiled, "But why didn't you send it to the inn, but to your mother's house?" ”

Ling Chaofeng explained casually: "It was the elders who gave it, you look at my age, I naturally don't know what happened in the past." ”

Aunt Mu thought about it, and returned the silver to Ling Chaofeng: "The old lady is gone, you can't tell me about this, our family is not short of silver, and we took it for no reason, so how can it be done." When you go back, you will explain to the old people at home, saying that my old lady is gone, thank them for thinking about it, and come here in the future to sit and have a cup of tea at home. ”

Ling Chaofeng was not reluctant, and casually said a few words to the woman, and then prepared to leave.

The aunt of the Mu family politely saw him off, and walked through the end of the village, where the family was beating the child, one older and one small, the mother and daughter were running around the yard, and the girl was caught and pressed on the pyre, and her mother was beaten with her head and face.

Ling Chaofeng was stunned, and Aunt Mu ran into the door to persuade: "Don't fight, if you can't say anything well, let people watch, and when your mother is a stepmother?" ”

The woman who beat people was so angry that she scolded and scolded, saying that her daughter stole the family's silver, gave her the money to buy books in the school, and told her to secretly carry the food she bought and spend it cleanly, the more she talked, the more angry she became, she actually pushed Aunt Mu out and locked the courtyard door, and continued to chase her daughter to beat.

Aunt Mu smiled bitterly at Ling Chaofeng: "Countrymen, beating children is commonplace, little brother, don't laugh." ”

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "It's out of the way." ”

"Don't beat it too hard, you gave birth to it, and you didn't pick it up." She shouted into the courtyard, and continued to send Ling Chaofeng out of the village, speaking of her aunt and grandmother, she was not very familiar with it, after all, the difference in seniority was not very much, but she heard the old people in the village say that her aunt and grandmother had a hard life when they were young, and they called their stepmother to abuse and beat them every day, but later they married a good family, and they did not forget to come back to help their father and younger siblings, and they were very good people.

Aunt Mu gave Ling Chaofeng the way and said: "After the town, go ten miles to the east, there is the Lingxiao Inn, which is my aunt's home, her children and grandchildren are there, and we went to the funeral last month, hey......"

Ling Chaofeng knew all these things, didn't Xiaowan say that her son and daughter-in-law were going to die.

He couldn't believe that he could get his family back from his previous life, but he couldn't easily tell anyone about it, Xiaowan said that he couldn't let irrelevant people panic.

Leaving Qingling Village, when walking to Baisha County, the sun was already setting, Ling Chaofeng stood on the bridge, watching the sunset fall on the river, Baisha County is very lively, although it is not as large as the capital, it is also a real rich township, I heard that the princesses of the previous generations also often come here to play.

And what he heard in the capital said that the Lingxiao Inn was actually a wealth-collecting institution of the imperial court in the past, so naturally this is all in the past, and now it has become a legend.

Ling Chaofeng was about to walk to the inn, a young woman passed by him, he didn't pay attention to anything, but when he was about to get off the bridge, he heard a plop, and heard the people on the shore shouting: "Save people, someone has fallen into the water......"

His heart tightened, he ran to the railing to look, and sure enough, he saw that there were gauze skirts and clothes floating on the river, and they were sinking rapidly, and without thinking about it, he jumped into the water, but the woman who jumped into the water seemed to have a heavy object tied to her body, and she sank quickly, and Ling Chaofeng had to dive into the water to save her.

Water entered his ears, and the world suddenly became peaceful, Ling Chaofeng opened his eyes in the water, and reached out to grab the sinking woman.
