Cao Zhang and others stayed in Qishan for a month, and walked around Qishan, including nearby towns, before returning.

Departure in February.

Arrived in April.

May departed.

This trip, not only in Qishan to have fun, back and forth, but also passing by a lot of towns, landscapes, in this not quiet world, is a rare experience.

Along.

There is Cao Xin, a miracle doctor.

Including Cao Ren, at the end of the year before last, the 'Shou Shiqing Adjustment Method' was already level five.

Last year.

It was ignited many times, and it was successfully capped and reached level 12.

A 'purple gas' is not inferior to the previous Cao Xin, and it is not a problem to take care of the family, and there is more protection.

So there were no worries along the way, and everyone was very happy.

When I returned to Caojiazhuang, it was already June.

Cao An is still young, and Cao Xin is still coming back with him to make a double insurance.

Wei Feifei also followed, saying that she was homesick and wanted to go back to Weijiabao to have a look.

Actually—

Know it!

After returning to Caojiazhuang, Cao Xin wanted to go to Weijiabao with Wei Feifei, not to see his parents, but to thank Weijiabao for taking care of Caojiazhuang in recent years.

Qianyou four years to Qianyou eight years.

Four years.

If it weren't for Weijiabao's multifaceted care, Caojiazhuang would not be so smooth and even comfortable.

I have to thank you for all your feelings.

But plans can't keep up with the changes.

The second day back to Caojiazhuang.

Joy from the sky!

……

"Old Five! Old Five! ”

Cao Ren looked surprised, ran into Cao Xin's courtyard, and knocked on the door, without the calm bearing of the owner of the village on weekdays.

Knock a few times.

There was no movement.

He just stood outside the door, unable to sit still, unable to stand, going back and forth, holding a letter in his hand, turning it over and over, not seeing enough.

Wait a while.

Knock for a while.

That's it.

A quarter of an hour later.

Cao Xin finally pushed the door out of the house.

Look at the sky, it's about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Big brother, what's so in a hurry?"

Cao Xin looked at Cao Ren.

Cao Ren didn't say a word, and directly stuffed two letters, and then said: "It's a letter sent by the second child, sent from Shangjing!" ”

"Dick?"

"Second brother?!"

Cao Xin was taken aback.

This is not the 'first letter' sent by the 'second brother' -

Since May last year, the 'missing person notice' published in the "Jianghu Xun Bao" has spread, and quite a few people with bad intentions have come to swindle and deceive.

A few of them swaggered and came to the door in person.

Most of them write letters to scam money.

It seems that this kind of letter calling himself 'Cao Yi', in a year, Cao Xin read not 100 but 80.

In line with the attitude of 'rather kill mistakes than let them go', Caojiazhuang traced and verified every letter, and finally proved that it was indeed a liar.

This time.

It's the same.

Cao Xin's first reaction: It's a liar again.

But seeing the eldest brother's excitement, he quickly reacted, and this time may be different.

He took the letter and opened it.

Ten lines at a glance!

Soon!

Cao Xin was also excited: "It's the second brother!" ”

"It must be him!"

"Only our brother knows about the things mentioned above!"

Cao Ren had already determined, he looked at Cao Xin: "In Shangjing!" He and his little sister are both in Beijing! This letter has been written and sent since the first month, this is the fourth, this is the seventh, and the second child is also in a hurry! ”

Cao Xin also read two letters.

The content is pretty much the same.

But there are markers.

I think the second brother is worried that the distance between Beijing and Xijing is too far, and he may lose it if he only sends a letter. If you only find a way to send letters, you are likely to be caught.

That's why I've written a lot and sent a lot.

It turns out.

The second brother's worries were right.

From New Year's Month to June.

In half a year, only two letters successfully arrived in Caojiazhuang and reached Cao Ren and Cao Xin.

If these two letters were missing, maybe the time for their brothers to reunite would have to be even later.

As for rushing back to Xijing from Shangjing alone, I went to Caojiazhuang in person-

I don't think about it at all.

It's not easy to travel far!

Cao Ren and Cao Xin read the content of the letter and knew the current position and situation of the second Cao Yi, and they were pleasantly surprised for a while.

Cao Ren's black face turned red and darkened, his eyes were burning, and he looked at Cao Xin: "Are you rushing to Xijing alone, or are you looking for master's help and gathering a group of masters to go over together?" ”

Shenhou Mansion!

Withered Hero!

Chongxian Conference!

These are all major events that happened in Xijing Mansion not long ago.

Although Cao Ren never asked about Cao Xin, he also knew that 'Yang Guo' must be 'Cao Xin'. It is precisely because of the possession of the gods that this can travel frequently and quickly between Qishan and Xijing.

Sitting on the withering of the gods.

It is known as 'finding the fairy mountain and meeting the immortal'.

If you want to go to Beijing, it will not be a problem.

But after all, it involves long-lost brothers and sisters, and Cao Ren will inevitably lose his square inch and be more cautious.

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety!

Before Cao Yi and Cao Shu returned to Caojiazhuang, he didn't want the slightest accident to happen.

Cao Xin too.

"Without further ado!"

"Long nights and dreams!"

"I'll set off now, and I'll see the second brother and the little sister first!"

Cao Xin couldn't wait.

Half a year has passed since the second brother sent the letter, although judging from the letter, Cao Yi's side has always been stable and there is no danger.

But don't be careful.

Go early, go early.

"Good!"

"Then you go!"

"Be careful!"

Cao Ren didn't say anything this time, in fact, compared to his master Duan Chong, he believed in his younger brother Cao Xin's ability to be a 'fairy immortal'.

Cao Xin didn't ink, put the letter away, and said to Cao Ren: "Don't tell your mother about this matter first, wait for me to come back." ”

"Hmm!"

Cao Ren should go down.

Immediately, Cao Xin went out of Caojiazhuang, summoned the gods, soared into the sky, and went straight to Beijing!

……

It's June and the sun is shining.

This day, early in the morning.

Yang Yi's face was dark, and he returned to his residence in the back street of Zheng Guogong's mansion.

This is a miscellaneous courtyard, where all the people live in the Guogong Mansion, Yang Yi's qualifications are average, and he only occupies an inverted seat room with a back to the sun.

But after all, it is Shangjing, where every inch of land is valuable, and it is already very good to have a single room that can shelter from the wind and rain.

Yang Yi is also very satisfied.

Before this year, his biggest wish was that he could live two more years, save more money, and preferably see his sister grow up.

As for themselves.

The problem that fell since childhood, a sick seedling, has long been not expected.

The only regret is that I may not see my family before I die.

But unexpectedly, inadvertently, a turning point came.

"Jianghu Xunbao!"

Back in the house, Yang Yi picked up the newspaper that he had read countless times in the past six months, especially the column of "Missing Person Notice" on it, and his heart was full of joy and hope.

Since Tianfu three years ago, he was separated from his family.

Yang Yi was pulling his sister and struggling to survive, but he was also worried about the safety of his family members who were separated at the beginning.

In the blink of an eye.

Seven or eight years passed.

I never thought that I would regain their news in this way.

"Xijing Mansion."

"Caojiazhuang."

"They're doing well, and they've never given up looking for me or the magpies."

"Ahem—"

Yang Yi coughed twice, his eyes bright.

When he first saw this newspaper at the end of the year, and when he first saw the missing person notice, in the following days, he asked people in many ways to inquire about the details of the "Jianghu Xun Bao".

Get a general idea.

"Jianghu Xunbao", the background is extraordinary, and even the major yamen of the imperial court have to subscribe.

To be able to publish a 'missing person notice' in such a publication, and it is also published in every issue, and it is said that it costs half a year or a year, and it is said that it costs thousands of dollars.

In Yang Yi's view, this is an astronomical amount.

The willingness to spend so much money shows that the family is in good condition now.

"Our family has become an old rich man now!"

Yang Yi's heart was full of hope.

After reading the old newspapers, tidying up his face and body, and changing into clean clothes, he went out with the twenty-fourth letter he had written a few days ago.

He will continue to send letters.

By the way, I will ask if the first twenty-three letters have been sent and where they have been sent.

"Shangjing to Xijing."

"There are five or six provinces in between."

"Not so fast."

Yang Yi was also very anxious, but he comforted himself not to be in a hurry: "The letter is sent, and the father and they come over again, and it will take more than half a year to come and go." ”

Therefore, Yang Yi stabilized his mentality and waited slowly.

But.

Wander around outside for half a day.

The twenty-fourth letter was sent, and the first twenty-three letters remained unanswered.

Yang Yi gradually became anxious.

The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars.

In today's Daliang, it costs a lot of money to send a letter from Shangjing to Xijing.

Yang Yi's belongings accumulated in seven or eight years have already been put in half.

He was worried that what would he do if his family had lost all his wealth and there was still no response?

A penny stumps a hero!

For Yang Yi -

He is a sick seedling.

My sister is too young.

You can't live without money.

Yes.

Rejoicing—anticipation—waiting—anxiety.

Keep circulating.

In the past six months, the further back it goes, the more abrasive it becomes.

It's more than halfway through the day.

Yang Yi dragged his tired body back from outside.

Just came back.

There was a big brother 'Wang Zhu' who lived in the same hospital and ran out of the face, and when he saw him, he hurriedly said: "Xiao Yang, you came back just in time, someone in the house is looking for it, saying that it is your younger brother, he is tall and big, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person, you go back to the house and take a look." ”

"Brother?!"

Yang Yi was stunned.

The head was buzzing and blank.

Then, he saw that behind Uncle Zhu, a person walked out.

Tsing Yi!

Tall!

With a sword on his waist, he is so angry!

"You-"

Yang Yi looked at it and couldn't recognize which brother this was at all.

When Tianfu was separated in three years, the third brother Cao Li was ten years old, the fourth brother Cao Zhi was deceased, the fifth brother Cao Xin was six years old, the sixth brother Cao Wen was deceased, and the seventh brother Cao Liang was four years old.

Eight years have passed.

Cao Li was eighteen years old.

Cao Xin was fourteen years old.

Cao Liang was twelve years old.

"You're the third?"

Yang Yi looked at the big tall man and was at a loss. He looked at the man, his heart pounding, his breathing suddenly short, he couldn't help bending down, coughing incessantly, coughing almost out of breath, and his face was pale and sickly red.

"Second brother—"

Seeing this, Cao Xin took two steps forward and helped the second brother pat his back smoothly. When I took a closer look, I found that the second brother's temples already had a lot of gray hair.

Haggard.

Sickly look.

The body is thin and the clothes are shabby.

Cao Xin's nose was sore, and he bent down to support his second brother.

It's been eight years.

The original memory has long been molded, and Cao Xin doesn't remember the appearance of the second brother very well. The second brother, who was taller than him and took him to play, is now far inferior to him in size, even inferior to the eldest brother, only a little taller than Cao Xian, and he can't see the appearance of his youth at all.

But he is a compatriot with his eldest brother and his mother, and from his facial features, he can still vaguely see some similarity.

It's just that.

At this time.

He was a little weak and sickly.

Obviously, the second brother has not lived as well as he wrote in his letter over the years.

Cao Xin patted, caressed, and looked at it like this, his thoughts were chaotic, and finally Wang Zhu broke the silence on the side: "Don't put this stupid stand, you brothers, come into the house and sit." This big brother, let me tell you, your brother has not been easy these years, when he first came, he was so small, a gust of wind could blow away, and he also brought a sister who could just walk, if it weren't for Miss Cousin's kindness, I wouldn't be able to see you today. ”

This Wang Zhu is a talkative.

Cao Xin didn't talk much to the second brother, so he told the second brother what happened over the years.

Wait until the brothers enter the house.

"You two brothers, let's talk about it."

Wang Zhu was interested, strode out, and drove the neighbors in the courtyard outside the house out: "Let's go!" Let the two brothers talk well, and don't let this mess go. ”

After a commotion outside, the room fell silent.

Cao Xin looked at the abnormal flushing on the second brother's face, and knew that he was suffering from internal friction caused by emotional turmoil, so he immediately pulled him to sit down, and used the 'Shou Shiqing Body Adjustment Method', turning a body of 'Moon Technique Internal Force' into 'Purple Qi', crossing into the second brother's body, and then taking the pulse by the way, his brows furrowed slightly and then quickly stretched, and smiled at the second brother: "Second brother, this is tuberculosis caused by wind and cold, the problem is not big, it can be cured in a year at most." ”

"I'm—"

"A year of healing?"

Yang Yi looked at the 'third brother' and exclaimed, "Third brother, do you know how to heal?" ”

He was so sick that he couldn't live for a few years.

The third child is comforting him?

Or is it simply a quack?

Yang Yi's eyes widened.

Cao Xin heard the meaning, and was not in a hurry to explain this stubble, but smiled: "Second brother, I am Cao Xin." ”

“……”

"Old five?"

Yang Yi's eyes widened, looked at Cao Xin's head, and opened his mouth: "You're only fourteen, right?" ”

Fourteen years old!

So high?

Still running to him alone?

"Yes."

"In August, fourteen."

Cao Xin nodded, and continued to cross into the 'misty purple qi'.

Yang Yi was shocked at this time: "Huh? ”

The body is indeed much more comfortable.

No breath.

No cough either.

Comfort after a long absence.

Cao Xin knew that the second brother was now full of questions, so he explained to him while combing the second brother's body: "A few days ago, Zhuang Shang received two letters from the second brother, and I set off first. ”

"You-"

"You're alone?"

Yang Yi was stunned.

"Yes."

"Alone."

"Second brother, don't look at me as only fourteen, my ability is not small, you will know it slowly in the future. Otherwise, you know the temperament of the eldest brother, and it is impossible to let me come alone without worry. ”

Cao Xin said with a smile.

"It's pretty impressive."

Yang Yi nodded stunned.

It is unbelievable that he can go from Xijing to Shangjing alone at the age of fourteen. He is now twenty years old, and he doesn't have the courage to take his sister to Xijing to find relatives.

Cao Xin is alone!

I can't imagine!

Yang Yi spoke, a little cramped.

Facing a brother who is completely and almost completely strange, tall and tall, with a gorgeous sword and a glorious face, a confident face, and he is like a person from two worlds.

In this younger brother, Yang Yi saw a far more noble temperament than the young master in the Guogong Mansion.

It was strange to him.

Awesome.

Cao Xin saw the crampedness of the second brother, and he had just reunited, he was not in a hurry, he was still in a rhythm, and took the initiative to introduce the experience of their family over the years, and the situation of the family after they were separated.

The third brother Cao Li.

Daddy Cao Kun.

He passed away one after another.

Then the rest of Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, Cao Xian, Cao Xin, and Cao Liang, a family of five, arrived in Xijing.

Enter the Cai Shui Gang from Cao Ren.

and then the brothers successively apprenticed to Duan Chong and his wife.

From Juyi Dart Bureau to Caojiazhuang.

From the eldest brother getting married and giving birth to children, it has been told all the way to Qishan.

Eight years of separation.

Changed.

Yang Yi listened, immersed in it, as if he was there.

Hearing that the third brother and his father died of illness one after another, it was difficult to accept. When I heard that the rest of the people had arrived in Xijing, they were getting better and better, and I couldn't help but shed tears.

Especially when I heard that my eldest brother got married and gave birth to a daughter, I was even more excited.

"Good!"

"That's great!"

Yang Yi wiped his tears, and the sense of alienation and strangeness with Cao Xin gradually dissipated.
