6. Have a home
In the north, as elsewhere, there are big cities, small towns, scattered villages, vast land, vaguely undulating mountains, which look a little vast, and people walk on the winding paths like a little ink.
This is a middle-aged man with a disabled leg, dragging a climbing plow in his hand, and walking slowly but not too hard.
He seemed to have returned from the fields and went to the village in front of him, but there were no other busy peasants in the fields, and there were no children playing in the villages, chickens and dogs barking, and the world was silent.
The silence was broken by the sound of horses' hooves at a sudden gallop, and several people rushed to the smoke and dust, but the man dragging the plough did not seem to hear it, neither looked back nor avoided, and limped slowly.
"Uncle Lei! Uncle Lei!"
The shouts behind him were thunderous, but the man still didn't look back until the centaurs rushed over and blocked the way.
Chen Shi jumped down from the horse, opened his mouth wide in the man's face and shouted, "Uncle Lei!"
The man looked at Chen Shi's face, a smile appeared on Gu Jing Wubo's face, and he said with a sigh, "Little stone, where did you go to cheat money again?"
Chen Shi's face turned red and he hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Lei, don't talk nonsense about when I cheated money!" After that, he hurriedly looked around, "Uncle Lei's ears are broken, you have to speak to him to see it."
Uncle Lei looked at the mouth shape and looked around, there were three horses and four people around.
Two young women, a girl about ten years old, and a man with iron arms.
They were also turning over and dismounting, and when they heard Chen Shi's words, they all shouted to Uncle Lei, "Uncle Lei."
Uncle Lei looked away and snorted, "Bring back the fox friends and dogs!"
What he thought was a whisper was thunderous in the ears of others.
Hua Ling and Ah Mao laughed exaggeratedly, Meng Xichang smiled slightly, and only Qixing's expression was calm.
Chen Shi shouted to Uncle Lei with some embarrassment: "Uncle Lei, don't talk nonsense, how can I have fox friends and dog friends!"
After the little girl sister saw him, she always had some points, and she always shouted Brother Stone behind him like she did when she was a child, maybe she hadn't seen him for a long time, Uncle Lei said his messy things, and the little girl was even more angry with him!
He grabbed Uncle Lei's arm and pulled him to look at Qixing: "Uncle Lei, look at who this is?"
He opened his mouth and didn't ask Qixing, do you still recognize Uncle Lei? Answer: I definitely don't recognize it.
Uncle Lei then looked at Qixing, and the girl looked at him quietly.
Uncle Lei was dazed at first, then frowned, clenched the climbing plow in his hand, and blurted out, "Luo Gong!"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Xichang and Hua Ling were a little stunned, this name is......
"Who is Luo Gong?" A cat pulled the sleeve of the flower bell and asked curiously.
Chen Shi turned his head and stomped Uncle Lei's face back to him, shouting, "Uncle Lei, you are really not only deaf, but also blind! This is a little girl! Aunt Yan's daughter!"
[In view of the general environment,
Speaking of this, he glared at Uncle Lei, his mouth opened wide, but his voice went down.
"Like Aunt Yan!"
The little girl and Aunt Yan were seen by Uncle Lei, and his eyes became surprised again in an instant, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Qixing.
This time, Qixing looked at him and smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Lei."
Uncle Lei let go of the climbing plow, stepped forward and stared at Qixing left and right, looking at it with a smile on his face, red circles in his eyes, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, little girl, just like when she was a child, she looks exactly like Ah Yan!"
With that, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Go home quickly."
Seven Stars said yes and led the horse to follow him slowly.
Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he didn't blame Uncle Lei, he also felt like the surname Luo at a glance in Bailou Town, so he missed recognizing the little girl.
It's also strange, the little girl obviously looks like her aunt, but when she looks at her, she thinks it's the one surnamed Luo.
Alas, there is really no way to be related to father and daughter!
The thought flashed, Chen Shi turned over and got on his horse, urging the horse to gallop forward past Uncle Lei and Qixing, and stir up dust.
"Uncle Lei, I'll go and tell everyone that the little girl is back!"
Directly say who is back, don't play anything with everyone and guess who it is, so as not to shout Luo Gong one after another!
Watching Chen Shi gallop away, Qixing and Uncle Lei walked quickly, Hualing Meng Xichang also led the horse to follow, and Meng Xichang also reached out to grab the climbing plow on the ground......
His hand smacked.
"What's wrong?" Cat asked.
Meng Xichang pulled the climbing plow and said, "It's okay, this climbing plow is very heavy, but it is very light to pull."
Hua Ling smiled, "Is there anything strange?" She raised an eyebrow at the two in front of her, "Miss Seven Stars' home."
Miss Qixing is so powerful, the people in her family, even if she is a deaf person with inflexible legs, will not be an ordinary person.
Meng Xichang smiled and nodded, "Indeed, we who have walked the rivers and lakes have also heard for a long time that the Beitang mechanic is powerful."
The cat sat on the horse and asked, "Who is Luo Gong?"
It looks like everyone knows about it just now.
Ah Mao is a little smaller, and when she remembers, Momen has had an accident, and it is estimated that no one has told her, Hua Ling said, "It's the previous head."
Ah Mao sighed, and laughed: "It can be seen that Sister Qixing has an extraordinary bearing, and this uncle can see at a glance that she is the head!"
Is that so? Hua Ling and Meng Xichang glanced at each other, they still thought it was strange at that time, I see!
Ah Mao was puzzled and threw it away, and made a gesture of raising a whip on the horse's back to urge the horse: "Drive, drive, go and see Sister Qixing's hometown."
……
……
The return of relatives has livened up the whole village, but there are not many people in this village, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled.
It is not surprising to Meng Xichang that when he cast the artifact for the emperor, almost all of the Beitang went there, and almost all of them died in Jindi.
This is the grief that the Momen people everywhere have, but the Momen people are not immersed in grief either.
Even if there were only a dozen people, in order to welcome their relatives back and entertain their fellow visitors, they lit a bonfire in the council hall in the middle of the village, spread out the grill, and brought out their own brewed drinks, snacks, eating, drinking, and laughing.
"Don't look at the fact that there are not many people now, but there were a lot of people back then!" Chen Shi stretched out his hand and gestured, "From here here, it's full of people, and I can't even squeeze in."
An old woman turned the rabbit meat on the oven and laughed and said, "You little stone didn't have the right to enter the door at that time!" A little kid!"
A cat giggled while eating a skewer of meat in one hand: "Little fart child!"
Chen Shi pretended to be annoyed at the old woman: "Granny Hui! How old am I now?" As he spoke, he raised his head arrogantly, "I'm the hall master of the North Hall now! That's amazing!"
Granny Hui pouted: "What's amazing, the little girl is in charge, she's not as old as you!" "The little girl was smarter than you when she was a child."
Chen Shi snorted to refute something, and Granny Hui's voice came again.
"The eldest daughter is smarter, if she is here, you can't be the hall master of the little stone."
Chen Shi's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth.
But a voice of curiosity sounded.
"Who's the eldest girl?" Cat asked, crouching to the side.
Granny Hui said, "It's the little girl's sister."
Ah Mao said, "Sister Seven Stars and sisters."
Granny Hui nodded: "Yes, it's twins, and the two look exactly the same."
She said this with a smile in her eyes.
"It's lovely."
Twins, Hua Ling and Meng Xichang also looked at it.
The cat jumped up even more: "Then where is she? If she comes out, will I have two seven-star sisters?"
The smile on Granny Hui's face dissipated: "She's dead."
The atmosphere of the scene was condensed.
……
……
The people of the village were all in the council hall, and there were no lights in the whole village, and a courtyard in the southwest corner of the house suddenly lit up in the dark.
Uncle Lei shook the fire twist to illuminate the courtyard, and Qixing looked at the house, although it was very old, it was not dilapidated and dusty.
Uncle Lei said, "We will always clean these houses that no one lives in."
Although the owners are gone.
What if someone else comes back?
Look, it's here today.
"Little girl." Uncle Lei said with a smile and pushed open the door of the house, "The furnishings in the house have not been moved, and they have been covered with cloth."
Qixing followed him in, looking at the covered furnishings, distinguishing the table, chair, bed, and a small useless utensil.
Qixing walked straight over to uncover the cloth, and Uncle Lei also raised the fire twister, and a rocking cart appeared in front of him in the light of the fire.
"Hey, this is your childhood toy." Uncle Lei said.
It was a rocking cart with two Trojans side by side, creaking and shaking as the cloth was lifted.
Seven Stars couldn't help but laugh.
……
……
It's not a shock to everyone to die.
Many people died in the Jindi incident.
The cat bit the skewer and nodded, "My father and mother are also dead."
Meng Xichang also said, "The ink man is not afraid of death, and he does not mourn death."
Hua Ling raised the teacup and wanted to say a word of respect to the young lady she had not met.
Granny Hui suddenly sneered: "Of course the ink artist is not afraid of death, but she is not, she was killed!"
The hall froze again.
Chen Shi took a step forward: "Hui Po! Don't talk about it!"
Granny Hui continued to sneer, "Why don't you say it? She is not the one who does evil! Why can't you say it?"
She looked at Hua Ling and the others.
"The eldest daughter was sacrificed to the sword by her father!"
Sacrificial sword!
Ah Mao opened his mouth wide, Meng Xichang's face stiffened, the teacup in Hua Ling's hand fell, and the red fruit tea splashed everywhere.
