Chapter 331: Reunion
When Yu Wanyin looked at Ling Feng and the others, the two old men were also looking at Yu Wanyin. The two glanced at each other and nodded lightly, to be able to become the head of Kaiyang Peak, Yu Wanyin does have this qualification.
And when Ling Yu's family saw Tang Jinxuan, they were all shocked, and their eyes revealed deep love and undisguised satisfaction. In the northern lands, men are expected to marry and have children at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and in some places may be even earlier. Although Ling Yu has been practicing outside, the family is still very anxious about his life's events. Especially this time, Ling Yu came back with such a woman who was like a flower and jade, gentle and magnificent, how could she not let them not care? Mo Wanjun and Dong Xiuzhen were still a little reserved, and the two old men were almost about to come forward and say it clearly.
Seeing the light in the eyes of the two grandfathers, Ling Yu shrank his neck in fright, he was really afraid that the two old men would not be able to hold it and propose marriage for him. Ling Yu hurriedly walked up to his family and said softly, "Grandpa, it's freezing outside now, why don't you let us go back to the house to talk." After Ling Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Ling Feng and the others, and invited the two old men into the house with half pulling and half pushing. Then, he waved his hand at Wu Dao again, and pulled Wu Dao and Xiao Hei closer to the room. Mo Wanjun also hurriedly came to Yu Wanyin and Tang Jinxuan's side, grabbed their arms left and right, and invited the two into the house while shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
"Miss Tang, I don't know how old you are this year?"
"Grandpa!" Hearing Ling Feng's words, Ling Yu's face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, on the way back, he calculated everything, but he didn't expect Ling Feng to be in such a hurry.
"Oh, you scared the girl!" At the critical moment, it was Dong Xiuzhen who came forward to solve the siege, he glanced at Ling Feng, turned his head to look at Tang Jinxuan, who was a little at a loss on the side, and said with a smile.
"Oh, no, it's fine. Tang Jinxuan's face turned red when she was asked by Tang Ze, and her mood at this time was the same as Ling Yu's, and she was also looking for a crack in the ground with her head down. She bit her lips lightly, her face was delicate and beautiful.
"Old man, you go cook today, Wanjun and I will accompany Yu Zhangjiao to talk to Miss Tang, and you can't intervene as an old man. Dong Xiuzhen deliberately pushed Ling Feng away, she pushed Ling Feng and said softly.
"Okay, okay, it's rare for my grandson to come back today, so let's go and prepare dinner, and you can have a good talk. Ling Feng stood up, patted Ling Yu's shoulder, and said helplessly.
In this way, Ling Yu, Xiao Hei, Wu Dao and the three old men walked into the kitchen together to prepare dinner. And Mo Wanjun and Dong Xiuzhen accompanied Yu Wanyin and Tang Jinxuan to chat in the hall.
Ling Feng and Di Xun had just walked into the kitchen with a few people when they heard a shout coming from outside the door: "I heard that my brother is back? Grandpa, the village chief, where is he? Let him clean up and go to my house to drink!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a burly man walk into the courtyard. He was eight feet tall, with tendons and flesh, and exuded a masculine aura all over his body. This person is Ling Yu's hair small, and his childhood playmate Ling Dazhuang.
"Brother Da Zhuang, we're here!" Seeing Ling Da Zhuang visiting, Ling Yu hurriedly beckoned to him and greeted him. Although they haven't seen each other for a few years, the relationship between them has not dissipated because of the passage of time, but is like an aging jar, becoming more and more mellow. When Ling Dazhuang walked into the courtyard, he was followed by two men, one tall and one short, the tall one was named Ling Yun, and the strong one was named Ling Lei.
"Big man, stone, you're here too!" Ling Yu came to the three of them and gave them a sturdy bear hug. Several people have grown up together since childhood, and now although they are separated, their feelings have not changed.
"It just so happens that you little dolls are here, you are not allowed to leave for a while, stay here for dinner, and you little brothers can also catch up. Ling Feng looked at the energetic teenagers and said with a smile.
"Grandpa the village chief, we want Xiaoyu to go to my house for dinner, and my daughter-in-law is also cooking at home. Ling Dazhuang laughed and said to Ling Feng.
"What are you cooking, my precious grandson just came back today, and he won't go anywhere, so you guys will stay here honestly, and if you don't get drunk today, no one will be allowed to leave!" Ling Feng glared and said loudly.
"Old man, we don't dare to drink with you, I have followed my father to sleep in the jungle and snow mountains all these years, and I rely on spirits to keep out the cold, and now I drink a lot of alcohol! If I drink you too much, my father will have to beat me when I go back!" Ling Dazhuang's eyes flashed a hint of cunning, and he said with a smile.
"Go, go, and tease me, just when you came, hurry up and give me a hand. Tell you, give me a good performance today, whether Xiao Yu can solve the big things in his life depends on this dinner tonight!" Ling Feng peeked at Tang Jinxuan and the others in the hall, and said to Ling Dazhuang in a low voice.
"Wow, such a beautiful woman is Xiao Yu's crush?" Ling Dazhuang followed Ling Feng's gaze and looked at the living room, and when he saw Tang Jinxuan in the living room, several people swallowed their saliva fiercely and said in a lost voice.
"Brother Zhuang, don't listen to my grandfather's nonsense, Miss Tang and I are just friends. By the way, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing?When I came back today, I saw a child at the entrance of the village, who was seven points similar to you, that was your son, right?" Ling Yu shook his head with a wry smile, he was afraid that Ling Feng would hold on to his life's events, so he quickly changed the topic and said.
"Well, that's my son, just like when I was a kid, uneasy. Naughty with older children all day long, he can't control it. Moreover, my old man spoiled that kid so much, my father would whip me as soon as I glared at me, alas! But my daughter-in-law was quite good, I went into the mountains every day to hunt, and the family was thanks to her care. Ling Dazhuang shook his head with a wry smile and said sadly.
Although Ling Dazhuang seemed to complain, Ling Yu heard a strong sense of warmth. The northern region is extremely cold, and in such a barren land, people can only rely on each other for warmth, and family is the warmest harbor.
"Xiao Yu, don't look at the big strong brother as if he is angry, in fact, the mother and son of the family are filial piety, and he is sweet in his heart. Uncle Huzi is old and doesn't go into the mountains much, so he teases his grandson every day and enjoys his family. We can't do it, I just opened a restaurant two years ago, but my old man forced me to get married. No, my daughter-in-law has just become pregnant, and my restaurant is also in its infancy, and I am very busy every day. Ling Yun said.
"Don't show off, I'm in charge of accounts in an inn in the town, and I can't go back home a few times a year, and every time I come back, my old man forces me to get married, and it's not easy for anyone!" Ling Lei said with a sigh.
Looking at the three people in front of him who had already started a family, Ling Yu felt a lot of emotion in his heart, what is the meaning of life in the world? Some people say that they want to get ahead, and some people say that they want to be plain, when the light passes, and the wind and sand of the years cover up the dreams of those who were young and frivolous, how many people can still stubbornly adhere to the things they once longed for. Perhaps, in the past, they could pursue what they liked without scruples, but as they grow older, people will eventually find that time is like a white horse, passing by in a flash, and those promises can't withstand the cold reality after all. The young and frivolous have been smoothed by the years and lost their former edge. As a result, some people end up depressed, some complain, and more go with the flow, and the passion is no longer there. Only a very small number of people are still willing to believe in their dreams and swim against the current in the long river of life. However, the road was always difficult, people tossed and turned between dreams and reality, they struggled, they roared, unwilling to give in to fate, unwilling to bow to reality.
In the end, after experiencing hardships and torments unimaginable to mortals, they finally have someone to reach the other side of their dreams, ride the wind dragon, wash away the lead, and break out of the cocoon and be reborn. It's just that these people are always in the minority.
When everyone is born, they will have a set direction, such as a big man, such as a stone, such as Ling Dazhuang. They are a drop in the ocean of thousands of red dust, and the world will not stop turning because of them, nor will there be a trace of waves because of what they have experienced. But so what? They will still try to grow, and follow their own trajectories in the journey of life, drifting farther and farther away.
But thinking about it from another angle, these people's blandness is not a kind of happiness. They are not like Ling Yu, who can talk to the strong people who stand at the top of this world, and even compete. But in their world, there is no killing, no conspiracy, and no precarious life every day. They are just ordinary people, but they also have their own joys, small but happy.
This meal in the evening was the most comfortable meal Ling Yu had ever eaten, and during the banquet, Ling Feng did not mention his relationship with Tang Jinxuan again, and he also forgot that he was a cultivator. At this time, he was just an ordinary person, a wanderer who had returned to his hometown. There is no sectarian strife at the table, no cruelty in the cultivation world, no exercises and immortal weapons, and no treasures of chance.
This night, Ling Yu drank a lot of wine, and he couldn't even remember how much he drank, but he only knew that at the end of the drink, the stone hugged him, crying about his pain and suffering. The big man and the big man cried for a while, laughed for a while, and Ling Yu listened to them tell the past of several people growing up together, and melted those stories into the wine and poured them into his stomach. He knew that when he left Lingjiazhuang again, these stories would become his most precious memories, sealed in the depths of his mind, and would never be erased. Because this is his youth, the youth he once really participated in. It is a life that he will never forget, and it will always be worth paying tribute to.
The next morning, when Ling Yu opened her eyes, she found that it was already three poles old. Mo Wanjun told him that Tang Jinxuan, Wu Dao, and Xiao Hei were playing with the group of children at the entrance of the village, while Yu Wanyin was discussing something with Ling Feng and Di Xun in the room. Big Strong, Stone and Big Man are gone, they are all grown up and have their own things to do. Yesterday's reunion was not a parting, but a beginning, I believe they will have an intersection in the years to come, just like Ling Yu is a child of Lingjiazhuang, this is their eternal home.
And what excited Ling Yu the most was that Mo Wanjun told him that his father Ling Tianhao would be back this afternoon. As the backbone of Lingjiazhuang, Ling Tianhao has gradually replaced Ling Feng and become the patron saint of the new generation of this peaceful village. He has to follow the hunters into the mountains every day to hunt, and now it is almost winter, and it is the time to store winter grain, so he is particularly busy during this time.
Thinking that he was about to see his father's mountain-like figure, Ling Yu looked up at the jungle in the distance, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth......
