In Liangguo, there is a small town called Lingshan Town, which is located in a corner, and the town has unique scenery by the mountains and rivers.

Although it is not a place where crops can be harvested well, it is nothing in the barren and cool country, although it is a luxury for people to be able to eat and clothe, but everyone is content and happy.

Walking in the alleys of the neighborhood, Chen Man looked around at the surrounding environment and found that this place had not changed much from when he left a few years ago.

It's no wonder that people don't have enough food and clothing, and who will do some repairs to the house they live in from time to time to be decent.

After two years of growth, Chen Man has changed a lot, there are people in the neighborhood that he doesn't know, but most of them don't know him, even occasionally when he was a child, he is a stranger when he passes by the three of them.

Li Yichen looked at the neighbors on both sides of him in surprise, and looked shocked at Chen Man like a curious baby, "This is your home? ”

Chen Man didn't care about this, although this was his hometown, but this Lingshan Town didn't leave Chen Man any good memories, only the tragic death of the clansmen and betrayed friends.

Now Chen Man is also a member of the cultivation realm, the nine great countries are wide and the sea is wide and the birds can fly with the fish leaping into the sky, if it weren't for the fact that he still has an uncle here in his memory, I'm afraid that Chen Man won't come back.

Following the route in his memory, Chen Man quickly took Li Yichen and He Manzi to find a decent courtyard, with a dilapidated plaque hanging above the gate.

Xie Fu.

These two big characters came into the eyes of the three people, Chen Man was about to step forward and knock on the lion's head knocker, but he didn't want the door to be opened from the inside, and it was a middle-aged man who walked out.

The man saw that Chen Man was about to knock on the door of his house, and said with some puzzlement, "May I ask you to find ・・・・・・?"

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, staring at Chen Man's face carefully, and after a while, the man finally realized, "You are Chen Man! Uncle has been looking for you everywhere all these years, where have you been?"

Chen Man had a humble and respectful attitude, even though he was already an immortal high in the eyes of mortals, he had not forgotten the courtesy of the worldly juniors.

"Uncle, I've been wandering around all these years, and now my situation is a little better, so I want to come back to see you, what are you going to do with a big bag?"

At this time, Li Yichen and He Dali also stood behind Chen Man and bowed to the middle-aged man who came out of Xie Mansion.

This person is Chen Man's uncle Xie Youcai, Xie Youcai is dressed appropriately on this trip, carrying a large and small bag wrapped in red cloth in his hand, as if he is going to visit some noble.

However, after seeing Chen Man, he put down all the packages in his hand, patted Chen Man on the shoulder with both hands, and his expression was very happy, "Good boy, let my uncle take a good look, I won't leave when I come back this time, right?"

Chen Man didn't speak, he was looked up and down like a puppet, but he didn't feel the slightest discomfort in his heart.

Xie Youcai also seemed to be excited when he saw his nephew, and he didn't pay attention to Chen Man's question that he didn't answer him, but just looked at Chen Man from head to toe over and over again.

After a long time, Xie Youcai suddenly remembered that he still had important things to do, so he lifted the big and small bags on the ground.

"I'm taking Xie Fei to beg for relatives, this kid has grown up now, and he has fallen in love with the daughter of a big foreign family, but he doesn't want me to accompany him, hehe, you and your friends have also come back from afar, let's go and rest first." ”

Chen Man still vaguely remembers the name Xie Fei, he is his uncle's youngest son, if he remembers correctly, he is two years younger than himself, and Xie Yu, the eldest son of his uncle's family, is half a month younger than himself.

After listening to Xie Youcai's words, Chen Man politely made a gesture, "Since this is the case, then my uncle might as well handle my cousin's affairs first, and my two friends and I will be bothered here for a few days." ”

"Hey, whatever you say, you can stay as long as you want, as long as you don't leave, uncle will never drive people away. ”

It is not difficult to see from Xie Youcai's reaction when he saw Chen Man, as well as the tone of his mouth several times, that he still likes Chen Man's nephew very much.

As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, and even after thousands of days of washing, this family affection has not weakened in the slightest.

Following Xie Youcai, Xie Fei also walked out, also carrying a large and small red cloth bag, he was still a little incredulous when he saw Chen Man, and then opened his mouth wide and was about to say hello, but was called away by Xie Youcai.

Chen Man took the lead in entering the mansion of Xie Mansion, and said to the two behind him like a master: "You're welcome, just treat this place as your own home." ”

He Manzi followed closely behind the eldest brother, and Li Yichen didn't answer, but looked left and right when he walked in, looking at this mansion, which is estimated to be one of the best and most decent in Lingshan Town.

"My uncle has an older son, you wait, I'll see if he's not at home. ”

After admonishing the two, Chen Man paced towards the center of the compound, made a trumpet with his hands on his lips and shouted, "Xie Yu, are you at home?"

After a long time, no one responded, and Chen Man finally gave up.

"It seems that there is no one in this courtyard, is there your uncle and two cousins living there?" Li Yichen walked to Chen Man's side, looking at her calm appearance, as if he really regarded this place as his home.

"Yes, just the three of them, my aunt died of illness when I was young, and my uncle is reluctant to find another woman to help him run the house. ”

"It seems that they are true love, just like my father and my mother・・・・・・"

The two stood in the courtyard and didn't speak for a long time, and He Manzi was like a statue pestle behind Chen Man.

Finally, as if he suddenly remembered something, Chen Man reached out and pulled out the jade hairpin that tied his hair on his head, and handed it to Li Yichen, "This is a token of your father and your mother, I will return it to you on behalf of the master." ”

Li Yichen stretched out his hand to pick it up, but his hand retracted on the way, turned his back to Chen Man, and asked in a very small voice, "Do you know what my father means by handing over this hairpin to you?"

Chen Man was slightly stunned, he remembered what Li Haotian had said to him when he entrusted him with the hairpin on Bayun Mountain, a marriage, a promise of chance.

Thinking of this, even though Chen Man's face was as thick as a wall, he couldn't help but blush, and said hesitantly, "Your father said that he seemed to say that he wanted to marry you to me." ”

"But if you don't want to, forget it, I won't force you with the last words of the old man in charge, you can take this hairpin. Chen Man then quickly added.

Li Yichen never turned to face Chen Man, and after being silent for a long time, she finally spoke, "Do you know, in fact, this hairpin is also a magic weapon. ”

"Huh?"

"If a man gives this hairpin to a woman, the moment the woman takes it, it will pull a trace of marriage between the two, as if they can't avoid it. ”

Chen Man was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond, and the hand that handed the hairpin stopped in mid-air.

"This is something that my father stole from my mother's house for him and my mother for a long time, and if it weren't for this thing, my mother's family would not have agreed to her marrying my father. ”

"Then what should I do, this is clearly your father's token, I should give it to you. ”

Li Yichen finally turned around at this time and smiled at Chen Man, "Since ancient times, my parents have ordered the matchmaker to say that since my father agreed, I will not regret it." ”

Looking at Chen Man's suddenly red and congested face, the smile on the corner of Li Yichen's mouth became a little thicker, "But I have the conditions, when your strength is stronger than mine, I will take this hairpin, otherwise I would rather not." ”

Li Yichen's meaning when he said this was obviously that Chen Man was too weak, even in the secret passage below the Treasure Pavilion, Chen Man used the star field to force Wang Shou to blow up the dantian, but his cultivation still stayed at the peak of gathering spirits.

What kind of cultivation is Li Yichen? People are in the period of qi induction.

The jade hairpin was finally taken back by Chen Man and reinserted on his head, and he also felt that if the two became Taoist couples, it would be really unreasonable for Li Yichen to cultivate to force himself to be taller.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and they didn't know how long it took for the door of Xie Mansion to be pushed open from the outside.

"Chen Man, why don't you take your friends in, what are you doing standing in the yard blowing a cool breeze?" Xie Youcai's voice sounded outside the door.

Chen Man turned around and saw what it was like to come back when he went Xie Youcai Xie Fei and his son, and their expressions were a little puzzled, "Uncle, did the woman's family confiscate your bride price?"

Xie Youcai threw the gift directly on the ground and walked towards Chen Man empty-handed, "Alas, Li Bowen's bastard also fell in love with that girl, that girl is interested in your cousin, but her parents are ・・・・・・"

Xie Youcai didn't finish speaking, but Chen Man also guessed the general situation, the girl's parents took a fancy to the Li family's solid family.

I remember that this kid named Li Bowen and himself used to have a good relationship, and the two often met and talked with each other, and on the day the Chen family was destroyed, Chen Man went back from the Li Mansion.

"Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been all these years?" Xie Fei also put down the bride price in his hand and stepped forward to greet Chen Man, with no displeasure on his face.

"You've been cuckolded, and you still don't care where I go, you kid is still the same as when you were a child, you are a person who doesn't hold grudges. ”

"Hehe, everything goes naturally, just follow the fate. ”

Although Xie Fei didn't show any gaffe when he spoke, Chen Man still caught a trace of loss in his eyes.

Smiled and patted his cousin on the shoulder, Chen Man said to him: "Go, bring the bride price, and go to the daughter's house with my cousin." ”

"Ah, cousin, what do you want to do?" Xie Fei was a little puzzled, and did not mention the bride price on the ground according to Chen Man's meaning.

Chen Man bent down to help him lift the packages, "What are you doing?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Man had already walked out of the gate of the Xie Mansion alone, and his voice sounded far away outside the door, "He Manzi, you and Yichen will stay here." ”
