Chapter 9 Children don't know each other
Yi Shuyuan and Ah Fei stayed in front of the grave for a long time, and they also cleared all the weeds around them.
The grief was very strong when it came, but it gradually eased at this moment, this is a strong emotion from the body, but even if the grief is so strong, Yi Shuyuan tried his best to search for the memories that surfaced, and he couldn't remember what his parents looked like.
"Seniors, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn ......"
After cleaning up the weeds and sitting in front of the tomb, Ah Fei finally couldn't help but say this sentence carefully.
Yi Shuyuan touched his broken forehead, and also let out a long sigh, staring at the tombstone in a daze.
Is it me who occupies the body of the son of the tomb father's mother, or is the soul of the idiot flying to other realms to live another period of Yi Shuyuan's life?
Yi Shuyuan has a feeling of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly.
"Let's go, go to my house......"
At this moment, Yi Shuyuan was already clear about the road, and there was a vague sense of familiarity in his eyes, there was no need to find Yuanjiang County first, and there was no need for Ah Fei to find the way, he stood up and walked in front, and Ah Fei naturally followed immediately.
"Senior, I'm carrying you on my back, right?"
"No, I want to go on my own."
Yi Shuyuan glanced back at the hill behind him, stepped on this familiar and unfamiliar mountain road, walked towards the mountain village step by step, looked at the direction of sight, and by the river under the mountain, a village with hidden smoke had come into view.
-----------------
Among the haystacks at the entrance of the village, a group of children are frolicking and dividing into two sides, and the snowball fights between each other are fierce, and the childish shouts such as "heha" and "watch the ball" seem to simulate the momentum of the confrontation between the two armies.
"There's someone over there!"
"Oops, you're still throwing it?"
I don't know which of the children shouted, and the children stopped one after another, but one of the children didn't have their hands, and immediately threw a snowball into a piece.
It wasn't until Yi Shuyuan and Ah Fei, who came down the mountain road, came close that the group of children who were having snowball fights really stopped and looked at the comers curiously, are there outsiders in this cold day?
Yi Shuyuan was in a mood of gains and losses, subconsciously tidied up his hair to reveal his facial features, combed the long hair hanging behind him with his hand and combed some knots behind him as neatly as possible, and even made a mustache that was in the way, when he arrived at the entrance of the village, a group of children were all staring at the two, and Yi Shuyuan stopped.
"Is this Xihe Village?"
Although the familiarity in his memory had already told Yi Shuyuan the answer, he still asked.
An older child looked left and right and replied.
"Yes, who are you? What are you doing here? ”
There were also children who looked at Yi Shuyuan's forehead curiously and whispered to their companions.
"What happened to his head?"
Complicated feelings appeared in Yi Shuyuan's heart, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say "go home".
"Is Yi Hanlin's family here?"
A group of children, you look at me, I look at you, or the child replied.
"I know everyone in the village, and there is no one named Yi Hanlin...... No one in Uncle Yi's family calls this either, right? ”
The first half of the child replied loudly, and the second half of the sentence asked the companion next to him confirmatively, several children nodded again and again, but the words were also heard by Yi Shuyuan, he suddenly remembered the words on the tombstone, and asked again tentatively.
"So, what about Ebokang?"
"Oh, Uncle Yi, I know I'm taking you!"
The child was innocent, and took Yi Shuyuan and Ah Fei to the village together, and the other children also jumped up and down to follow.
Yi Shuyuan's eyes are constantly wandering in the village, courtyard walls or fences, low houses or haystacks, there are many familiar, but there are also more strangers, there are adults passing by, or opening the courtyard door to come out, and they will ask when they see it.
"Who are these two? What to do? ”
At this time, there are always people in a group of children who are scrambling to answer.
"Outsiders, go to Uncle Yi's house~~" "Come to save your relatives~"
At this time, Yi Shuyuan didn't know what to say, but occasionally gave his hand to some villagers, and the villagers only paid attention to the politeness and kindness of the two of them, but there were also some older ones who frowned, as if they felt that one of them was slightly familiar.
Soon, the children took Yi Shuyuan and the others to a village courtyard, where a man who looked to be about fifty, wearing cotton clothes and cloth scarves, was carrying a bundle of hemp rope, and immediately a child called out to stop him.
"Uncle Yi, someone has come to the province for the New Year!"
"Huh?"
The man with a frosty face subconsciously looked up in the direction of the sound, and was stunned for a moment, a pair of eyes kept widening, standing in place in a daze, a little excited and a little suspicious, hesitating and trembling slightly at the same time, could it be that he was dreaming?
Yi Shuyuan also had an excited emotion mixed with a sense of intimacy, it can be said that he recognized the person in front of him at a glance, but he couldn't recognize it a little......
Ah Fei stood quietly behind Yi Shuyuan, not daring to break the silence at the moment, and even stretched out his hand to make a silent gesture, signaling a few curious children not to make trouble.
Taking a breath, it was Yi Shuyuan who broke the silence first.
"Hanlin ......"
The sound was in my ears, and the gray-haired old man carrying the hemp rope couldn't stop crying.
"Brother! It's really you, it's really you! It's been more than 20 years, where have you been? You, you haven't changed......"
Yi Baokang threw down the hemp rope, ran to Yi Shuyuan excitedly, and looked each other up and down with tears, but Yi Shuyuan didn't know what to say even though he had a thousand words in his heart.
There is another shock lingering in Yi Shuyuan's heart, has he been away from home for more than 20 years?
Ah Fei watched from the side in astonishment, one was old and haggard, with gray hair, and the other was full of green silk, but the former was a younger brother and the latter was a younger brother?
When the other people in the courtyard heard the movement, they all looked at the situation outside in amazement.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Who are they? "Master, what are you calling outside?"
A young man who looked a little like Yibaokang and a slightly older woman walked out, and a young woman led a child at the courtyard gate.
At this moment, it really feels like a world away.
"What nonsense, it's your uncle who is back, come to the child, call Uncle Grandpa! Brother, get inside! ”
Yi Baokang smiled angrily and pulled Yi Shuyuan forward.
"Uncle?"
The young man's eyes widened, and the others naturally looked incredulous, and the child didn't dare to scream at all, but shrank behind his mother and looked curiously.
Several neighbors around also heard the sound and came to watch, and in the midst of a round of sounds, Yi Shuyuan and A Fei were invited into the courtyard.
In the courtyard of the Yi family, the two brothers sat together, and there were other members of the Yi family standing next to them, some of the children before that time had never left, and some neighbors and people who had long followed were also inside.
Yi Baokang has always said a lot, Yi Shuyuan said less, he was so excited that he talked about the past and poured out his emotions.
It turns out that more than 20 years have passed, and even the people in the village have almost forgotten that there was such a stupid Yi family eldest child.
It turned out that when Yi Shuyuan was not stupid, Xiao Hanlin, who had been following his buttocks, had changed his name to Yi Baokang before his father died.
In fact, before Yi Shuyuan's disappearance, Yi Baokang had changed his name for several years, but Yi Shuyuan here had been stupid for many years, and his mind was full of nightmares, and the younger brother with the deepest memory in his heart was "Hanlin".
Yi Baokang was pleasantly surprised that his brother was no longer stupid, and he was also shocked that his brother did not look old at all, but more of a confession of the bitterness and longing of these years, when it came to the moment when his mother was dying, Yi Shuyuan's tears overflowed uncontrollably again, this is a feeling that the body memory touches the soul until the whole heart.
Not to mention the Yi family brothers, even the others who listened couldn't help wiping their tears.
Ah Fei secretly wiped his sleeve many times, and couldn't help but think of his father and mother, thinking that it was no wonder that his predecessors let him go home before, so it was difficult not to touch the scene.
At the same time, Ah Fei also has a deeper imagination of Yi Shuyuan's martial arts, it turns out that there are really people who can practice martial arts to such a high level, can really rebel against the innate nature, and to a certain extent, it is difficult to look old.
This day also happens to be the Shangyuan Festival!
