A "Grandpa" came, although his voice had already become much thicker than at the beginning, but it also brought back some memories of Yi Shuyuan.

Ah Baoxing rushed to run like when he was chasing Ash Mian on the ridge, although his body was old, his demeanor was still there.

"Uncle—"

Ah Bao shouted again and rushed to the front of the main entrance of Yuezhou Academy.

"Hmm!"

Yi Shuyuan responded, and he was quite emotional in his heart, while Ah Bao gradually approached, but his pace couldn't help but slow down.

For nearly ten years, Grandpa's appearance seemed a little blurry in his memory, but when he said goodbye, Ah Bao also instantly remembered that at the beginning, Grandpa Uncle had hardly changed.

Yi Shuyuan looked at Ah Bao looking a little distracted, and couldn't help but smile.

"I've grown up!"

After all, Ah Bao is no longer the child of the year, and he now knows that his uncle should be a pedantic celestial, and after getting closer, he tidied up his clothes and solemnly bowed to Yi Shuyuan.

"Uncle!"

Yi Shuyuan said, and pulled Ah Bao into the position under the door.

"It's raining."

This pull not only pulled Yi Abao into the door to shelter from the rain, but also seemed to shorten the time of eight or nine years, which made Abao's tension disappear.

"It's okay, it's not raining much!"

Ah Bao patted his body with a "snap", slapped the messy raindrops off his clothes, and also took off the scarf to shake the water droplets on it, but his attention naturally fell on Shi Sheng, who was still asleep.

"Uncle, who is this kid? Did you make a home out there? ”

Yi Shuyuan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Don't talk nonsense, his name is Mo Shisheng, and he is your uncle and grandfather and my apprentice."

Ah Bao nodded, but understood Shi Sheng as following his uncle to read and write.

"Then where have you been away for so long, I thought it would be a long time before you came back!"

Gray Mian also came out at this moment, stood on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder, and watched Bao's movements.

"Hey, it's still there!"

Ah Bao put on the scarf again, and looked at the little mink on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder in surprise, he liked to catch it the most, but it was difficult to catch.

"Squeak~~"

Gray Mian also called twice, and saw that Ah Bao carefully reached over, but he didn't dodge, and let him touch the fur on his body.

It was also at this time that the porter ran back, somewhat panting.

"Alas, you guys talk about running so fast"

Seeing Yi Shuyuan and Ah Bao coming over, the porter returned to the table and sat down after saying a word.

There are rules in Yuezhou Academy, even if relatives come over, they are not allowed to enter the academy, but as long as they don't go to the school and backyard, part of the front yard, the gatehouse can also be accommodating.

Ah Bao's mood was still very excited, and he approached Yi Shuyuan and said in a low voice.

"Grandpa, I framed the ink treasure you left back then!"

"Well, then take it home."

"Home?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at Ah Bao and smiled.

"Uncle Ling, I rarely come back, so I don't just come to see you, right? Take a leave of absence with the master, and we will go back to Yuanjiang County. ”

"Yes, yes, go home!"

Po nodded hurriedly.

"Then shall I go to the master?"

"Go ahead! Give, with an umbrella. ”

After Yi Shuyuan finished speaking, he handed over the umbrella in his hand, and Gray Mian had already jumped on Ah Bao's shoulder and hid in his clothes.

Po took the umbrella and opened it, and ran back to the academy with a smile.

The academy only needs to find one of the masters to approve the leave, but Ah Bao didn't go to the more familiar Master Li, which seems to be disrespectful to Master Lu, who is now in class.

Ah Bao returned to the outside of the school with an umbrella, and Lu Fuzi had already noticed that the students had returned, and the recitation in the hall had stopped again.

"Why don't you stay with the elders for a while and come back so soon?"

Hearing the master's words, Ah Bao stood at the door and saluted before answering.

"Master, my uncle and grandfather haven't been home for almost ten years, and I came to Yuezhou first this time, and I want to go back to Yuanjiang County with me and ask my master to approve leave!"

In the school, a few friends who were close friends to Ah Bao were squeezing their eyebrows at the door, some asking in low voices, and some of their mouths were constantly changing.

Po also roughly understood what these guys were trying to say.

"Bao, it's your uncle, right?" "Isn't that wrong?"

"I want to go too!" "Ask for words, ask for words, don't forget!"

The master looked back at the school, and the strange movements disappeared immediately, and then looked back at the door, where Po was still waiting.

"If you haven't returned to your hometown for a long time to find your old friend, it's really not good to disappoint the old man, so you can go, and the note will be made up later."

"Xie Fuzi!"

Ah Bao saluted happily again, and winked at the few people in the academy, which suddenly made the few people inside so excited that they were already thinking of finding an excuse to sneak out of the academy.

However, it is obvious that these people have been targeted by Lu Fuzi.

——

Ah Bao went back to his residence to pack up his things briefly, and left the academy with Yi Shuyuan with a bookcase on his back.

I took a boat down the Ejiang River and then entered the tributary, and at noon the next day I had arrived in Yuanjiang County, and then hired a carriage to go back to the village.

Along the way, Yi Abao and Yi Shuyuan chatted a lot, chatted about the changes in their families over the years, talked about their studies, and talked about some interesting things in Yuanjiang County.

The "Yuanjiang County Chronicles" compiled by Yi Shuyuan himself was not able to stay in the county in the end, but was taken away by Lin County after he was promoted to the governor of other states.

Wu Minggao, the main bookkeeper, was heartbroken and reasoned with Lin Xiu several times, but after all, the official university crushed people to death, and finally failed to keep this county chronicle.

However, the officials in Yuanjiang County have been promoted one after another, and no one is entangled in this matter in the county government.

Yi Shuyuan was listening most of the time, while Gray Mian sat there waiting for Po to feed some pastries from time to time.

The changes in Yuanjiang County are just a small microcosm, and it also makes Yi Shuyuan sigh that the years are like shuttles, and this is only eight or nine years.

——

When he approached Xihe Village, Shi Sheng finally woke up.

"Ahh

Shi Sheng stretched, rubbed his eyes and felt that the environment he was in was shaking, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the master was sitting beside him, and there was a big brother he didn't know on the side.

"Huh? We're in a carriage? Master, who is this big brother? ”

Yi Abao smiled and leaned closer, and opened a food box at his feet, which contained food bought from the county seat.

"My name is Yi Abao, and your name is Mo Shisheng, right? You can really sleep! Do you want to eat it? I'll leave it for you, or you'll let the little sable eat it all! ”

Shi Sheng's eyes rolled, and when he heard the name, he understood that the other party was the master's nephew.

"I want to eat."

Shi Sheng leaned on the edge of the food box, picked a few pastries and tasted them, a smile suddenly appeared on his little face, and then he couldn't wait to share his dream with Yi Shuyuan.

"Master, I have had many dreams, some of which are very clear but very unreal, and some of which are very real but not clear.

By the way, I also dreamed that I was all black, and my black scales and black claws were majestic."

Shi Sheng stood up in the carriage as he spoke, inhaling in his chest to be more powerful, his palms were like claws, and his funny and cute appearance made Yi Abao and Yi Shuyuan both smile.

"But he fell from the sky, and died not long after, and it was so painful and uncomfortable. As a result, I woke up, but fortunately I didn't die! ”

Yi Abao thought it was funny when he heard it on the side, and children are also very prone to all kinds of strange dreams.

"Children's family, say what to die or live!"

Yi Shuyuan was thoughtful when he heard this, and at this moment he also smiled and rubbed Shi Sheng's head.

"How's your spirit going?"

"It's fully recovered!"

"That's good."

At this time, the voice of the coachman also came from the front.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, the front is almost here~~"

"Oh, when you get to the door of Yi's house, it's the big mansion in the village!"

"I recognize!"

The coachman flicked his whip, and the horses sped up a little.

Waiting outside the door of Yi's house, Yi Shuyuan paid and got out of the car, looking at the high gate of the compound and the white walls and tiles.

The location is still the old location, but the house is a lot more magnificent, although it can't be compared with the really rich and noble people I see, but it is definitely a big door here.

The gate of the courtyard was open, and a big yellow dog was tethered to the door, wagging its tail at Yi Abao.

"Wang, Wang."

Yi Abao walked quickly to the door with the bookcase on his back and shouted loudly inside.

"Daddy - grandpa, grandma - uncle is back - uncle is back - uncle is back-"

Yi Shuyuan walked to the door with Yi Abao, and the big yellow dog also wagged its tail at him and Shi Sheng, but when he saw the gray on his shoulder, he let out a threatening sound of baring his teeth.

"Hmph, the dog's eyes look down on people, how fierce are you?"

Gray Mian whispered, revealing a fierce face towards the big yellow dog.

"Shhh

The big dog suddenly "woohoo woo." The ground shrank back, and it heard a mink speak, apparently greatly startled.

This scene can also be seen by Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng Zhile.

And Ah Bao, who didn't notice the changes behind him, had already walked quickly to the hall, and the shouts could not only be heard in the Yi family's courtyard.

When Yi Shuyuan took Shi Sheng to the guest hall, his brother-in-law Zhao and nephew-in-law Li hurriedly came.

When they saw that it was really Yi Shuyuan coming back, both of them showed surprise on their faces.

"It's Uncle!" "It's really Uncle back!"

"Uncle, please! Hurry up and make tea for Uncle! ”

"Alas! I'm going to boil water! ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were excited and seemed a little in a hurry.

"Don't be in a hurry, it's good to have cold boiled water in the hall."

Hearing Yi Shuyuan say this, Zhao hurriedly lifted the teapot and poured water for Yi Shuyuan.

It can be seen that compared with the first time when he went home, the excitement in his brother-in-law Zhao's eyes this time was not fake.

Compared with the beginning, there are a lot of gray hairs on Zhao's head, and his nephew and daughter-in-law have already left traces of youth.

"I haven't been home for many years, how are you at home?"

Yi Shuyuan said and sat down on the chair, Zhao poured tea for him, and replied with a smile.

"It's all good! Life at home has been getting better and better over the years! ”

The Zhao family is now in awe of Yi Shuyuan, even if she knows that her family can have today, in addition to her own family's diligence and hard work, it is also thanks to her uncle.

Looking at Yi Shuyuan's appearance, Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle really doesn't look old at all! By the way, this kid is you outside?"

"Grandma, this is the uncle's disciple, called Mo Shisheng, from Mingzhou!"

Zhao Shi understood, and at the same time nodded inexplicably relieved.

Shi Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and solemnly saluted to his elders.

"Boy Mo Shisheng, meet my aunt and aunt!"

"Oh, that's good! This looks like the child of a big family! ”

As Zhao spoke, he suddenly found Yi Shuyuan standing on his shoulder, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Oh, is this mink still alive?"

Xihe Village is so close to Koonan Mountain, there is still some understanding of how long some animals can live, in Zhao's view, the average mink is not as long as cats and dogs, and they can't live for seven or eight years.

Gray Mian Mao has exploded, will he speak? Not like you!

Thinking so, Gray Mian jumped to the ground, and suddenly disappeared into a shadow, and it wanted to see if it could catch some game to satisfy its hunger.

"By the way, go and call your grandpa and daddy, they're here"

Before Zhao finished what he said to Bao, hurried footsteps could already be heard outside.

Ah Bao just yelled so loudly that the nearby neighbors could pass it, and Yi Baokang and Yi Yongan, father and son, also hurried home when they heard the news.

"Brother!" "Uncle!"

Two excited voices came from the courtyard gate, and Yi Shuyuan also stood up from his seat.

"Baokang, Yong'an!"

Yi Yongan is already an out-and-out middle-aged man, and he pays a lot of attention to his clothes, not wearing a short shirt, but a shirt.

Yi Baokang has aged a lot, his hair is all white, and he is dressed like an ordinary old farmer, but his eyes are cloudy with tears.

Nearly ten years may not be anything to Yi Shuyuan, but for his aging brother Yi Baokang, it is enough to make people look different.

The father and son walked closer and couldn't help but look Yi Shuyuan up and down.

"Brother! Your hair is gray, but your face still doesn't look old, I thought you were going to go for a few more decades, I don't have a few decades to live."

The older people get, the more they miss the past, miss the old people, Yi Baokang is very satisfied with today's life, and the most concerned is a brother who is alone at an old age.

"Dad, what are you talking about, uncle, just come back, just come back."

"Yes, yes, just come back!"

Yi Shuyuan didn't say anything, just patted Yi Baokang's shoulder and nodded to Yi Yongan.

It's just that Yi Yongan looked at his uncle, although his hair was gray, he really didn't look like a seventy-year-old man, and he couldn't help but think about the rumors in the village.
