On August 15, Zhou Weiji and the four arrived at a long pavilion ten miles north of Meixian County, where Gao Feng was already waiting.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you are here." Gao Feng said with a big beard and a grin.

Lan Yi rolled her eyes secretly, Zhou Weiji glanced at him, and although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, she still said, "Don't shout." ”

This girl is a big-tempered girl, and she has no good fruit to eat if she is in a hurry.

Gao Feng still had a smile on his face, touched his head and walked to the carriage and said to the two little guys: "Yu'er, baby, look at what the fourth uncle bought for you!" ”

Yu'er and the baby had just woken up, they were rubbing their eyes, and they hurriedly looked at the peak when they heard it, they were already familiar with the peak when they set off from Huangxian, and they were not welcome to see each other this time.

"Fourth uncle, is it delicious or fun?"

The baby shouted, "Big knife." ”

Gao Feng patted the baby's little head: "Not bad." Didn't the fourth uncle promise to buy you a big knife when he left? Come, one for each person. ”

With that, he took out two palm-sized red oily wooden knives from his arms, the knives were delicately carved, and the scabbards could be pulled off, and the two children happily took them and lowered their heads to fiddle.

Gao Feng then said: "Second brother, sister-in-law Wang, I went to Meixian this time to hand over the letter to Mrs. Mi, and went to find Wang Chengde, and their husband and wife and son are now waiting in the inn not far in front. ”

Lan Yi clenched her fists a little nervously, do you want to see Chun Tao's family?

Seeing her like this, Zhou Weiji comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, they are your family." ”

Lan Yi nodded: "Then let's go." Senior Brother Gao, can I inquire about Wang Tiangui's situation? ”

Gao Feng and Zhou Weiji are sworn brothers, Zhou Weiji is the second, Gao Feng is the fourth, he is over twenty this year, and it is appropriate for Lan Yi to call him "Fourth Brother".

"This person is Wang Mingzhe's cousin, but he is just a greedy and womanizer." Gao Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but when he thought that he would see Wang Chengde's father and son later, he would naturally understand, so he didn't say much.

A few people stopped the carriage before they arrived at an old inn not far from the north of the city, and Xiao Er came up to greet them and brought them into the private room of the inn. There were not many people in the inn, and it was deserted.

Xiao Er led everyone through the old but calm and atmospheric hall and arrived at a cross-courtyard in the backyard garden. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a woman in her thirties was supported out by a young man, followed by a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old.

Lan Yi knew at a glance that these three people were Chun Tao's family, Chun Tao's appearance was similar to her mother's Zheng family, and Chun Tao's brother was also very similar to her father Wang Chengde.

Maybe it was the excitement on the faces and actions of the three of them, or maybe it was the fluctuation of Chun Tao's own feelings, Lan Yi was not nervous at this time, her heart was sour, tears fell, and she didn't know how to speak.

Chun Tao's mother-in-law, Zheng Shi, walked quickly to Lan Yi and hugged her: "Peach, my hard-working Peach, my mother thought that I would never see you in my life!" ”

Zheng called her "Peach", which is even more correct, Lan Yi did not feel a trace of resistance when she was hugged by her, but had a feeling of wanting to get close to her, she shouted in a low voice: "Mother." ”

Zheng nodded vigorously, tears raining down.

Wang Chengde and Wang Chunrong looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, and they all came up, Wang Chengde's pale face was full of smiles, and he patted Chuntao's shoulder with trembling hands. Lan Yi looked up and saw the pale faces of Wang Chengde and Wang Chunrong, remembering that Gao Feng had heard about them, and knew that these two had not been released from prison for a long time, and their bodies must have not recovered.

"Dad, big brother, are you okay?"

Wang Chengde nodded, looked at the baby Zhou Weiji was holding in his arms and said, "Tao'er, this is Young Master Wenxuan?" ”

Lan Yi nodded.

The baby's appearance is more similar to his dead mother, Wang Chengde hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said excitedly: "Young master, young master, you have finally come back safely." ”

Lan Yi lamented the deep-rooted concept of respect and inferiority of the ancients, and saw Chun Tao's father respectfully salute a two-year-old child, she felt very uncomfortable.

When the baby saw Wang Chengde saluting, he hid in Zhou Weiji's arms with some fear.

Yu'er said very quietly at this time: "Brother, how did my mother teach us on the road?" What should I say when I meet someone? ”

The baby looked at his mother, Lan Yi nodded encouragingly, and Yu'er shouted one by one: "Uncle, aunt, uncle." ”

The corners of Lan Yi's mouth twitched, this generation is really messy.

Zhou Weiji saw that everyone recognized each other, so he opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Wang, I am Zhou Weiji, the leader of Huang County. There are a lot of people here, so let's go in and talk about it in detail. ”

Wang Chengde reacted that everyone was still at the gate of the cross-courtyard, he quickly turned around and walked towards the house with them, Lan Yi walked behind him with Zheng's support, Zhou Weiji held the baby and led Yu'er to follow, Gao Feng stood at the edge of the cross-courtyard to guard in case someone approached, Wang Chunrong turned around and went to the kitchen to pass the meal.

After entering the house, Wang Chengde first asked Zhou Weiji to sit down, but Zhou Weiji refused and asked him to sit down first. Wang Chengde said: "This inn is also the property of the Wang family, under the name of the uncle, and now it is managed by Wang Tiangui, and he rarely comes." The shopkeeper here is the uncle's old subordinate, and he is safe. ”

Lan Yi straightened her clothes and knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Chengde and his wife: "Dad, mother." Chun Tao is sorry for you, it has been two years since I left, and I didn't send a letter back to the second elder, which makes you worried. ”

Wang Chengde and the others hurriedly got up and pulled her up: "Peach, how can my father blame you." It's a great luck that you can return safely with the young master. I don't know how to do it, ma'am?"

Lan Yi helped Wang Chengde sit down and said, "Madame was injured in the back of the heart by a stone when she fell from the mountain, so she went at that time. I buried her at the foot of the mountain and took the child to Beigou Village in Huang County to settle down according to the fake household registration. ”

Wang Chengde and Zheng heard that their wife had passed away, and it was their daughter who fled to Huangxian with the young master all the way, and they were a little relieved in their grief.

Zheng took Chun Tao's rough little hand, touched the woman's bun on her head, and asked with tears: "Mother's good daughter, how have you come over these two years?" ”

Lan Yi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Mother, don't be sad. In the past two years, the daughter has taken her two children to live in Beigou Village as Wang Linshan's widow, although she has been a little harder, she is also very stable. Brother Tuesday is his daughter's current neighbor, he is the lifesaver of his daughter and baby, and he is also thanks to his protection all the way back to Meixian. ”

Zheng and Wang Chengde got up and saluted Zhou Weiji, Zhou Weiji hurriedly turned sideways, he glanced at Lan Yi complainingly, and said with a gesture.

"Zhou Bantou, you saved the young master and Tao'er, you are the life-saving benefactor of our family, and we should give you a salute." Wang Chunrong came in and bowed to Zhou Weiji.

Lan Yi hurriedly relieved him, and then said: "Daddy, eldest brother, this is Yu'er, the son I accepted when I was in Huang County. Yu'er, come over to see grandpa, grandma and uncle. ”

Yu'er nodded, called someone sweetly in front of the three of them, and was pulled into Zheng's arms, "My good grandson, this cute little appearance is really distressing." ”

The baby also stepped forward and shouted, "Grandma, grandpa, uncle." ”

When Wang Chengde and the three of them heard him shouting like this, there was a little difference and panic on their faces, and Wang Chengde hurriedly pulled him and said, "Young Master, this can't be helped." ”

The baby looked at his mother suspiciously: "Mother? ”

Why is it that my brother shouting and shouting myself are not the same?

Lan Yi said: "Mother, my daughter gave Wen Xuan the name of her baby baby, in the past two years, we have been called mother and son, he was still young when his wife died, and he has always regarded me as his biological mother." ”

Zheng nodded, looked at the baby's white and cute little appearance, and pulled it into his arms together.

This is the food on the table, Wang Chunrong greeted everyone: "Zhou Bantou, sister, you are hungry all the way, right?" Come over and eat something to pad your stomach first, I'll go to the door to change Gao Yu and come in. ”

Gao Feng refused to come in, only saying that he had eaten, Wang Chunrong returned to the house, and the family sat down to eat regardless of gender.

Happy today, Wang Chengde asked Wang Chunrong to pour the wine full, and first saluted Zhou Weiji: "Zhou Bantou, villain, thank you for saving your lives to the young master and Tao'er." ”

After that, he drank it all, and Zhou Weiji bent down slightly and drank it: "Uncle Wang, you are too polite, you can call Zhou Bantou a child, you are an elder, just call me Weiji." ”

Lan Yi raised her eyebrows, smiled and pursed her lips and glanced at Zhou Weiji, he was much more well-behaved in front of the elders. Wang Chengde didn't think much about it, he just thought that Zhou Weiji and his daughter were neighbors, and the relationship was naturally closer.

Wang Chunrong gave Zhou Wei a full weight again, and saluted: "Brother Tuesday, the younger brother will do it first as a respect." ”

After drinking, Zheng was worried that the three of them would drink too much, after all, Wang Chengde's father and son were still weak, so it was not appropriate to drink more: "Okay, let's hurry up and eat, it's a coincidence today, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we are finally reunited as a family." Come on, Peach, these are your favorite meals, eat more. Yu'er, young master, what do you want to eat? ”

The baby pointed to his bun face a little unhappily and said, "Grandma, baby, not the young master." ”

Lan Yi picked him up and said, "Okay, mother knows, good baby." ”

Zheng and others kept calling the baby "young master", which made Lan Yi feel a little awkward and uneasy, and seemed to distance her relationship with the child a lot.

Wang Chengde said: "Yes, let's eat first." ”

Zheng looked at Lan Yi's intimacy with the two children, and was a little sour and worried, when he returned to the Wang family, he was afraid that it would not be possible.

After the meal, Xiao Er took down the meal, and Zhou Weiji got up and went outside to change the peak to go to the front hall to eat.

Wang Chengde then asked: "Tao'er, what happened to you and your wife after you escaped, you will tell your father little by little." ”

Lan Yi nodded: "My daughter doesn't remember what happened in front of her, after falling down the mountain, Mrs. was hurt by a stone, and her daughter hurt her brain and lost her memory." ”

"So, you don't know why you fell off the mountain? At that time, apart from you, the young master, and the lady, were there any other people? ”

Lan Yi shook her head: "There was no one else, and Mrs. didn't have time to say why she fell, she just asked me to run away with the baby." That mountain is not far from Qingshan Town in Meixian County, and when I took my baby to Qingshan Town to plan to return to Huang County, I met someone who searched for his wife and daughter with portraits. ”

"Castle Peak Town? How did you get there? Wang Chunrong said strangely, "The coachman picked you up, you should go straight to the small Futou in the harbor, this Qingshan Town and the harbor are no longer in the same direction, no wonder I waited there for a day and a night and no one was seen." ”

Wang Chengde frowned, something must have gone wrong, but now that his daughter has lost her memory, she can't ask for a while.

Lan Yi patted the sleepy baby in her arms at this time, and Zheng also hugged Yu'er and patted it, she asked softly: "Tao'er, did you look for Lang Zhong later?" Headache and dizziness? ”

Lan Yi nodded: "I've seen it, Lang Zhong said that he was bruising his blood pressure, so he couldn't think of it, and he remembered it when the blood was slowly dispersed." But my daughter hasn't remembered anything for more than a year and a half, and when I saw my father and eldest brother just now, I only felt faintly familiar and couldn't remember anything. ”

Zheng took care of the dark coarse cloth clothes on her daughter in distress: "Don't be afraid, my mother will take you to see it again, and I won't be afraid if I can't think of it." ”

Wang Chengde saw that his daughter's face was fine, so he was a little worried, and then asked, "Tao'er, you go on, what happened later?" ”

Lan Yi talked about it in detail after crossing over, and it took half an hour, and the two children were already asleep on the couch at this time. R1152
