Chapter 17: Returning Home

Puyi's army finally arrived before the Rong people launched a general attack.

Mu Luotian was blocked in the city of Xinyi, and he was suddenly in chaos.

He didn't dare to fight, since Puyi's army arrived, then Ganlu's army was not far away.

Mu Luotian's eyes closed, and the wound became violently painful.

"King!"

Mu Xingri helped Mu Luotian, and at this time, Mu Luotian's face was whiter than wax, and his mouth kept saying, "Why is it so fast...... How can it be so fast! ”

……

The Rong retreated.

From the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, they ran down to the high ground where Xinyi was located.

Puyi's army did not pursue, such a battle is just to drive people away, there is no need to fight to the death.

Mu Luotian had been in a semi-comatose state, and he couldn't figure out why the wolf smoke that was lit yesterday afternoon had reached Xinyi today.

Could it be that the distance between Puyi and Xinyi has become shorter?!

Puyi's army walked up the bad road.

Doctor Fan Cheng of Puyi was the first to come to the township school in Xinyi.

"Xinren, I'm late!"

Fan Qi arched his hand.

When he was in Zhou, he liked to add the word "person" after the name of Yi, which is the meaning of Dr. Xinyi.

He was about the same age as Xinyou, slightly chubby, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked very honest.

"Thanks to the Pu people for rescuing me, my Xinyi finally escaped."

Xin made a big gift to Fan Qi again, which came from the heart.

This honest mortal and Xin Youyou knew each other when they were young, and the two are close neighbors and often save each other, so the relationship between the two is quite good.

"Xin people can think of a way to ask for help from driftwood, which really shocks me." Fan Qi helped Xin You: "Our Yi Sima still doesn't believe it!" ”

"The Rong people blocked our way and lost our way to contact." Xin said: "This is also a last resort, if we are really isolated, we Xinyi will suffer." ”

"In the past few days of heavy rain, there have been many collapses in the ring tu, you know, the wild Tu clan in our Wangji is all decorations, I rushed over and delayed a little time." Fan Qi hurriedly explained.

The so-called ring tu is a road 200 miles outside Wangji.

These roads are managed by special personnel, called "Ye Tu clan".

It's just that now that the royal family is declining, the Yetu clan is also superfluous, and has no intention of managing the roads in such remote areas.

"It's good to be here, what are we doing here? Let's go to my house for a while, and I would like to thank all of you in Puyi. Xin said with a smile again.

"Something?" Fan Qi was a little surprised, and his eyes, which were originally narrowed into slits, opened: "Xin You, when will you ......?"

"I'll talk about it later...... Xin added, "I'll arrange something first." ”

The so-called "little thing" is a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period, which refers to drinking less alcohol during the break during important activities.

Later, it means drinking for a trivial matter.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a strict etiquette for drinking at village banquets, and the nobles naturally couldn't hold troublesome ceremonies every time they wanted to drink.

The saying "a little thing" slowly spread among the nobility of all classes.

Xin is also an old-fashioned person, and before that, he would never say such a thing as "a little thing".

If you want to drink alcohol, you should drink it only in the midst of a swallow drink (feast) that eats with each other and according to strict etiquette.

I have known Xin You for so many years, and it is the first time that Fan Qi has seen Xin You and took the initiative to drink.

In such a remote place, a little thing has become synonymous with drinking and having fun.

"Ox man, go and get back the cattle that have been disturbed by the fire.

"Sima, you first clean up the loss of this battle, and at the same time release wolf smoke, indicating that our Xinyi is safe.

"Situ, you arrange for the Fan family and the Xin family to repair the road.

"Uncle Zhu, you are responsible for transporting the grain back to its original place, cleaning up the township school, and settling the food and lodging of the people of Puyi."

……

The post-war affairs were complicated and busy, but Xin was well organized.

Even the meals that the people of Puyi need, he has already arranged them, and settled the people of Puyi in various families in Xinyi, and they are responsible for food and lodging.

Everything was arranged, and Xin and Fan returned to Xin You's home.

Although Xin is not a doctor, he also has a private house in Xin's ancestral land.

The Xin clan lives in the northwest of Xinyi and occupies the largest piece of land in Xinyi.

In the center of the Xin settlement is a quaint courtyard, which is the temple of the Xin family.

The Xin family, who was once the third duke, was demoted to an ordinary scholar after the decline, and could only enjoy one temple.

This is an ancient temple, and it always brings Xin Youzhi some heavy memories.

In front of these ancestors, the descendants of the Xin clan prayed, cried, swore and were punished......

Xin didn't know about other people, but he clearly knew that every time his predecessor "Xin You" came here, he only had fear in his heart.

Behind the black gate, there was not only the ranking of the ancestors of the Xin family.

There is also the glory of the Xin family's past, as well as the infinite expectations of the ancestors for future generations.

After the battle, the first thing Xin did when he returned here was to pray to the ancestors in front of the Jongmyo Temple to return to the experience of this battle.

The whole process is not very long, and Xin is just a mechanical ritual under the guidance of Xin Wuzuo.

The heart has long been free to fly.

“…… Hey, the expectations of several generations and hundreds of years are pressed on one person, and it's no wonder that this person is not crazy! Xin said secretly in his heart.

At the same time, he also thought of a certain generation of talented people who were determined to restore the country and later drove themselves crazy.

The previous Xin You grew up under this invisible pressure and became a reverse Murong Fu.

Today's Xin You, naturally, will not put so much pressure on himself.

But he did restore the Xin clan to its former glory, but not for the sake of this ancient temple, but for the sake of his own better life and what mark he could leave in this era.

"Ancestors, bless me well! At least go to the royal family to be an official, get some land, and improve the environment for you! ”

Shin prayed earnestly again.

It wasn't until Xin came out again that he and Fan Qi returned to their courtyard.

As the main sect of the Xin family, the place where Xin lives is very inconspicuous.

At the end of a street, a courtyard facing north and south is Xin You's residence.

The walls of the courtyard are still built of rammed earth.

A black lacquer door, at first glance very majestic, in fact the black paint has fallen off, and the door bricks are broken.

Push open the door and there is a small courtyard.

On both sides of the courtyard are firewood houses, and on the front are houses with the common structure of "one hall and two interiors".

The middle room is a hall, which is inevitably open, without walls, and very bright.

This is the place where the nobles receive their guests and hold political affairs.

On either side is the inner room, which is a place to rest.

Behind is the place where the inner family lives, and Xin You's old-fashioned old mother lives in it.

Thinking of this mother, Xin couldn't help but shudder again.

This old woman's face is more stinky than Kong's.

Why was Xin so autistic and cowardly in the past, and it was inseparable from this old woman.

So after Xin woke up again, he didn't go to the back to see the old woman at all, and went directly to the township school.

If she didn't come back for a day and a night, the old woman must have been angry.

"Whatever! I'm Dr. Xinyi! ”

Xin cheered himself up again and walked into the hall with Fan Qi.

He sat with Fan Qi looking at each other, Xin lived in the west, and Fan Qi sat in the north.

"Gentleman, you're back."

Wei stood in the middle of the hall with her head bowed.
