Chapter 18: Neighbors

On October 26, the 35th year of Jingping, Yao Yuzhi and his entourage, who had been on the ship for more than two months, arrived at Qushan Island and settled down in the former residence of the Yao family in Liangzhi Village, located in the north of Qushan Island.

Liangzhi Village faces Huang Zeyang, the water is clear and the sand is white, the waves are slow, the surrounding green, the environment is beautiful, the houses of the whole village are built according to the mountains and the sea, the folk customs are simple, compared with the chaos of Cangzhou in the northeast, it is obviously a good place for seclusion and seclusion.

In the afternoon of the same day, as soon as Yao Yu knew that their boat was approaching the shore near Liangzhi Village, fishermen from Liangzhi Village immediately approached to inquire about it.

The person who came was Yao Yuzhi and Deng Qin's old acquaintance - the Yao family's left neighbor, the Ji family's father, and his two sons Ji Guanghai and Ji Guanghe.

Before going to Cangzhou in Northeast China with Ren Zixian to seek medical advice, Yao Yuzhi and Ren Zixian had been living in Liangzhi Village with Yao Yuzhi's father, that is, Ren Zixian's master Yao Shizhi, and Deng Qin's family was the little maid who served Yao Yuzhi at that time.

Although the father of the Yao family is an immortal (that is, an immortal cultivator) in the eyes of mortals, he has never felt superior to others, even if he treats the ordinary people of Qushan Island, he is also very polite and friendly.

In addition, Qushan Island was originally an immortal island, but a few years ago, the spiritual veins here were exhausted, and the immortal cultivator families living here had to find another cave to move away.

Since they didn't take all the people with them, most of the mortals living on this island today are descendants of immortal cultivators, and although they treat immortal cultivators with the same respect, they are less blind than ordinary people because of ignorance.

The Yao family has settled here for more than 20 years, and although the family lives in a simple place, they are very popular because of their repeated kindness to the people of Liangzhi Village, especially the Ji family and the Wang family, who are their neighbors, because they have more contact, and the relationship between the three families is particularly good.

Because of this, the father of the Ji family has always regarded Yao Yuzhi as his daughter, and at this time, when he saw Yao Yuzhi who was dusty and haggard, the father and son of the Ji family immediately became calm.

The father of the Ji family motioned to the two sons to bring their boat to the shore, and then the father and son stopped fighting, and they anchored the boat while greeting Yao Yuzhi's master and servant.

The person who spoke was the father of the Ji family, and his dark and thin face was full of worry about Yao Yuzhi and the others, "Jade girl, Xiao Yunxiang, why did you two come back suddenly?"

Yao Yuzhi and Deng Qin's family were also very excited to see familiar people, Yao Yuzhi endured the sourness in his heart and greeted the Ji family's father, "Uncle Ji, eldest brother, second brother, long time no see." We...... Recently, Cangzhou was in turmoil, and we couldn't stay there anymore, so we came back. ”

She didn't mention the "death news" of Ren Zixian that Deng Xibin heard back, and in her selfish heart, she didn't want to admit the news at all.

The stubbornness was like the news wouldn't come true as long as she didn't admit it.

The father of the Ji family is old and sophisticated, and almost immediately guessed that things must not be as simple as Yao Yuzhi said, but he didn't poke Yao Yuzhi's heart with much mouth, and after helping Deng Xibin anchor the light sailing boat they were on, the father of the Ji family took his two sons to help Yao Yuzhi and others get things.

Yao Yuzhi introduced Deng Xibin and his children to the Ji family, and Ren Hanjun and Ren Hantang were very polite to call grandpa and uncle.

What moved Bai Zehui was that when Yao Yuzhi introduced her, she didn't say "the child I picked up" or "the child I adopted", what she said was: "This is my little girl, and it's not even a hundred days old." ”

The father of the Ji family and his two sons had never been to Cangzhou in Northeast China, so they didn't know that if Bai Zehui was really born by Yao Yuzhi, then Yao Yuzhi must have started to flee with the child before the full moon.

This is exactly what Yao Yuzhi wants.

In Qushan Island, only their family knew that Bai Zehui was adopted, and they obviously wouldn't talk about it, so Yao Yuzhi had to establish Bai Zehui's status as the youngest daughter of the Ren family at the beginning, so that others could not despise or snub her because of her status as an adopted daughter.

The father of the Ji family had already determined that Ren Zixian was not on the ship by this time, and they had the heart to ask about Ren Zixian's situation, but they were afraid that one would accidentally open Yao Yuzhi's wound.

After all, if Ren Zixian really happened as they guessed, the saddest person would undoubtedly be Yao Yuzhi, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart and then had a deep relationship with him.

Although the men of the Ji family are clumsy, they are all kind-hearted and measured.

"Although your house has not been inhabited for a long time, your aunt and your little sister will go to clean it every once in a while. The father of the Ji family chatted with Yao Yuzhi while working, "Your Wang family's aunt is the same, so I estimate that you should be able to live immediately." ”

Yao Yuzhi's heart warmed when she heard this, and she said "um" with red eyes, "When I settle down, I'll thank you again." ”

The father of the Ji family said "hi", "I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you still polite to this kid?" Uncle told you this, just to let you go home in peace, but there is nothing else." ”

Yao Yuzhi secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I know, uncle, I can't think of you in that bad way." I am...... It's just that I'm happy, I'm happy to finally return to our Qushan Island. ”

In the end, she almost didn't control it well and cried in front of the Ji family.

The father of the Ji family was sad, and he sent his eldest grandson Ji Tianwen, who ran out to see the excitement, to go home to inform his old wife Wu.

After that, he carried the remaining half a bag of white flour and a small half bag of rice on the boat, and sent Yao Yuzhi and others to the door of the Yao family's old residence.

With him, there were also Ji Guanghai and Ji Guanghe, who were carrying wine jars and carrying big burdens, the two and Deng Xibin rushed to move things, and in the end, the three of them were all covered with various burdens of different sizes, but Yao Yuzhi and Deng Qin's only took two small ones each.

Ji Wushi, who got the news, quickly took her little daughter Ji Shuying and eldest daughter-in-law Ji Hu and hurried out of her yard - her second daughter-in-law Ji Bai was left at home to take care of the little radish head who was less than five years old at home.

"Jade girl!" Although Yao Yuzhi has changed a lot in the years since she left Qushan Island, Ji Wu, who has watched her grow up since she was a child, still recognizes her at a glance.

She ran towards Yao Yuzhi with a swift stride that was extremely inconsistent with her current age, and then the next moment she found Deng Qin's clan standing half a step behind Yao Yuzhi, "Little Ruxiang!"

Yao Yuzhi and Deng Qin's shouted "auntie" with tears in their eyes, and Ji Wu's heart was full of reluctance and distress because of their haggardness, thinness, and hazy teary eyes.
