Chapter 63: The Wanderer Returns

Suddenly getting the news of his sister caught Jiang Qi a little off guard. He never expected to meet by chance in this situation, he had always thought that his mother and sister had already returned to Luoyang. Because of this, he was still angry with his mother for a period of time, and now it seems that he may have been deceived by the evil woman of the Wang family.

But now it's time to investigate it, and now Jiang Qi's only concern is the recent situation of his sister. In his heart, he was praying that they were all okay, and Jiang Qi also had the worst plan. After all, I had heard just now that my sister's jade pendant was lost, and the price was so low, I am afraid that her life would not be any better now.

On the outskirts of the south of the city. The dilapidated courtyard is surrounded by mottled earthen walls, and through the sparse courtyard gate, a little girl about twenty-eight years old can be seen washing her clothes by the well. The dazzling sunlight accompanied by the heat of early summer made the girl constantly wipe the sweat from her forehead with her cuffs.

As she inadvertently brushed away the few broken hairs hidden on her forehead, a shocking face appeared in front of her. She has a beautiful goose-egg face, and under her slender eyebrows, a pair of bright and clear eyes are embedded in the middle. The small and straight nose bridge, coupled with pink lips, exudes a gentle aura.

Although she was only wearing a patched dress at the moment, she still couldn't hide her beautiful appearance. Occasionally looking up at two children playing in the yard, their inadvertent smiles also brought her back to her childhood.

She was also very happy in her childhood, when she was surrounded by her loving brother and healthy and loving mother.

At the thought of her brother, the girl couldn't help but feel sad again, and the person who got married in two days was coming, and she didn't know what the result would be. Maybe that day will be a farewell. Soon, however, she was brought back to reality by the sound of a string of hurried horses' hooves.

While asking for directions, Jiang Qi finally dismounted in front of a dilapidated house with a false courtyard gate. Looking at the dilapidated place, Jiang Qi began to pray in his heart that this was the wrong place for him, how could his mother live here. But the ambivalence made Jiang Qi wonder if he could really see his mother and sister earlier.

With a conflicted mood, Jiang Qi gently pushed open the courtyard door. With a 'hiccup', a voice like heaven came from the courtyard: "Who 、、、、?"

Following the prestige, Jiang Qi looked at the figure who had already gotten up not far away, and for a while he seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his head was 'buzzing'. Looking at the fairy-like figure, Jiang Qi felt a sense of intimacy that he had never felt before.

Jiang Qi, who has always been nimble, immediately became a little at a loss, and at this moment he finally understood Zhao Yun's gaffe when he went home that day, and Jiang Qi slowly walked over with his not very obedient feet.

It may be that seeing that Jiang Qi was not hostile, the girl had the courage to ask, "Childe, are you okay?" ”

Originally, the distance of a few steps, Jiang Qi felt that it was so far away at this time. In just a few steps, Jiang Qi's eyes were already red in the face of thousands of troops, and when he saw the girl's malnourished and yellowed face, Jiang Qi could no longer hold back tears from sliding down his face.

Looking at the girl's puzzled appearance, Jiang Qi slowly took out the jade pendant just now from his arms and said in a choked voice: "Don't you know me?" ”

"You 、、、 you 、、、" Looking at the jade pendant in Jiang Qi's hand, the girl only looked carefully at the tall and handsome young man in front of her.

When she saw that he had a pair of distinctive eyes, the girl could no longer suppress her excitement, and took two steps back and held her mouth in surprise. In the end, she bit herself to determine if she was dreaming.

The pain between her fingers told Jiang Lin'er that everything was a fact, and in the face of this reality, Jiang Lin'er collapsed all of a sudden, and her long-awaited brother finally appeared in front of her, how could she not be excited in the face of this. With the interweaving of pain and happiness, Jiang Lin pounced on his brother at once.

"Brother、、、、、、" With Jiang Lin'er's heart-rending sound, the two long-lost brothers and sisters hugged each other tightly, and at this time, only tears could tell their brother and sister lovesickness.

Guan Yu and the others, who saw this scene outside the courtyard gate, were also inconvenient to disturb their brothers and sisters to see each other, and they all waited with interest. Only the two frightened little ones in the yard ran into a smoking hut crying out.

After a long time, Jiang Qi let go of his sister, who was already crying and swollen eyes, took out the unicorn jade that he had been wearing around his neck, and the ancient jade that had been separated for ten years by the two halves reunited again. Li'er held the jade with trembling hands, and kept saying, "Li'er, aren't you dreaming?" ”

"Brother Li'er, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer all these years!"

"Brother, you're finally back, and I thought I'll never see you again、、、 woo woo、、、、、"

"Okay, don't cry, my brother will never leave you in the future, as long as my brother is here, Li'er will always be the happiest person, and I don't dare to bully you anymore in the world!"

Just when the two brothers and sisters were complaining to each other, a loud shout sounded in the courtyard to break the harmony: "The thief from there dares to bully a certain young lady, find death!" ”

At the sound of a man, a man with a knife in his hand and a cane scurried out of the hut, followed by a woman with a broom and a stout child with a stick.

This sudden situation made Jiang Qi startled, as if he was caught by his parents when he was doing something bad, and he was a little overwhelmed. Even if there are thousands of martial arts, they have been completely forgotten.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin'er reacted quickly, blocked in front of her brother, and shouted excitedly with tears: "Uncle Da, I misunderstood, he, he is the elder brother, and the elder brother is back." ”

Hearing what Jiang Lin said, the violent old man was stunned for a moment and almost fell down without excitement. "Ding bell" The steel knife fell to the ground, and the old man came to Jiang Qi in three or two steps, looking left and right as if to confirm his identity, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten when he saw the end.

Jiang Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiang Da, looking at the old man in front of him with gray temples and a waste leg, no matter what, he couldn't connect with the majestic and mighty servant who taught him to practice martial arts in the depths of his memory. After a long time, he said with a snort: "Uncle Da, your leg 、、、、"

didn't expect Jiang Qi to ask, but Jiang Da knelt on the ground with a 'snap'. Then the woman behind her also dragged the child and fell to her knees.

Facing a scene, Jiang Qi was also a little flustered: "Uncle Da, what are you doing", "Aunt Cui, hurry up", "What are you still doing, quickly help Uncle Da and Aunt Cui up." ”

But for Jiang Qi's support, Jiang Da said in a low voice with sadness: "Young Master, Ada, I'm sorry for you." In the past few years, the villain has failed to take care of Mrs. and Miss, and now Mrs. is still terminally ill, and the villain's family has no shame to see the young master! ”

As soon as Jiang Da said, Jiang Lin'er, who had just been overjoyed, remembered her mother, who had been in a coma in bed for two days, and quickly grabbed her brother and ran towards the house: "Brother, go and see your mother!" Mother is dying、、、"

"What's wrong with Grandma?" As Jiang Lin'er pulled, Jiang Qi also panicked, and hurriedly ran into the house.

Entering the dim and simple hut, Jiang Qi, who was half-loud and adapted to the light, saw clearly that his mother, who was haunted by his dreams but was already thin, was lying on a soft couch.

、、、、Seeing this, Jiang Qi, who was already panicked, ran to the couch quickly, and knelt heavily on the ground with a bang.

Perhaps it was a cordial call, Jiang's mother, who had been asleep for two days, woke up miraculously when she heard Jiang Qi's voice. As he slowly opened his eyes, he spit out a mosquito-like voice in the middle of the sound: "You are?" ”

"Mother, mother, it's my brother, it's my brother who is back!" Jiang Lin, who was on the side, saw that his mother had woken up, and shouted excitedly.

Hearing her daughter's words, Jiang Mu's originally half-open eyes suddenly had a glow, and the whole person seemed to have a spirit, and she actually raised her trembling hand and stretched out her hand to Jiang Qi's face, and said with a crying voice: "Ananda, Ananda, is it my Ananda?" Mother, this is not a dream! ”

Jiang Qi, who was already speechless, hurriedly held his mother's outstretched palm and cried: "The child is not filial, the child failed to come back earlier, and the mother suffered." ”

"My son is finally back, my son is finally back." Feeling her son's powerful palm, Jiang's mother couldn't help but shed tears of happiness.

"Mother, it's a child, it's a child, the child is back!"

"Hehe、、、、 it's good to come back, it's good to come back. My mother thought that she would never be able to see my son again in this life, but she didn't expect my son to grow so big. Grandma is relieved, even if she dies now, she has no regrets. ”

"Mother rest assured that there is a child, Mother will live a long life, now Mother is good at life and cultivation, and when Mother is well, the child will be filial to his mother!"

Looking at his mother's haggard appearance, although he said so, Jiang Qi was not happy at all in his heart. Just now he held his mother's hand and checked the pulse, and from the breath-like pulse, his mother was already terminally ill.

At the moment, Jiang Qi couldn't help but look at his sister with complaint and asked, "Have you found a doctor?" ”

"I found it, I found it, but the doctor said that my mother was cold and cold, and it was, it was 、、、 woo"

Zhizi Mo Ruomu, although she hasn't seen her for ten years, is her own son after all, and Jiang Mu already knows Jiang Qi's mind from the tone. couldn't help but smile weakly and said: "Ananda, don't blame the pity, if you can see my son before you die, your mother is already satisfied!" ”

"Mother, don't be like this, the child finally saw his mother, can his mother bear to leave the child and his sister? Mother rest assured that as long as there is a child, the child will not let the mother 、、、、" Jiang Qi cried with tears in his eyes, and then remembered what to turn around and shout to his sister: "Go, go and pour a bowl of water,"

"The water 、、、 good, so 、、、" I didn't think that my brother suddenly shouted in a panic, Jiang Lin'er hurriedly agreed.

"Ananda, what are you going to do?" Seeing her son instruct her daughter, and then taking out a small brocade box from her arms, Jiang's mother asked puzzledly.

"Mother, you don't care about anything now, just think that you can't let your child and sister be left alone in the world. The master once said that Ananda was able to miraculously survive because of his desire to survive. Today's children also hope that their mothers can do this, and children hope that their mothers know that children have lost their mother's love for ten years and don't want to lose their mothers anymore," Jiang Qi encouraged his mother in his actions.

"Ananda, Mother is sorry for you. Don't worry, my mother won't give up" As the son said, now that she finally waits for the reunion of mother and son, how can she easily give up hope of survival. Immediately, the despair in Jiang's mother's heart disappeared completely, and it was replaced by a positive survival instinct.

"Brother, the water is coming、、、"

Taking the water brought by his sister, Jiang Qi took out a wax pill wrapped in a pill from the brocade box and said, "This pill is a life-saving medicine that Master gave to the child when he went down the mountain, and the mother will be cured after taking it." ”

"Really, great, grandma is saved!" Watching her brother carefully crush the wax pill and take out a thumb-sized pill inside, Jiang Lin'er couldn't help but cry with joy.

Soon watched my mother finish taking the pill and slowly fall asleep under the effect of the medicine. Jiang Qi got up and said to his sister: "Take care of your mother, and my brother will go back when he goes." ”

"Brother, does this medicine work?" Seeing her mother sleeping deeply, Jiang Lin'er still asked with some worry.

"Don't worry! As long as we have faith, Mother will be fine. Jiang Qi said firmly.

"Well, Li'er knows! My little sister will take care of her mother. With his brother, he has the backbone, and Jiang Lin'er also agreed strongly.

After comforting his mother and sister, Jiang Qi walked out of the house gently, and then he found that Jiang Da's family was still kneeling on the ground. Seeing this, Jiang Qi hurriedly went up and said, "Uncle Da, it's 、、、 hurry up!" ”

"Young master, old servant 、、、" But Jiang Da's stubbornness far exceeded Jiang Qi's imagination, and he blamed himself for not having the face to face Jiang Qi at the moment, and in his heart, only kneeling could alleviate his dereliction of duty.

Looking at Jiang Da, who was full of self-blame, Jiang Qi was helpless. It's even more difficult to use strong, so I had to persuade and say: "If Uncle Da thinks that he is sorry for not taking care of his mother for two years, then Qi doesn't deserve to die if he doesn't return home for so many years, Uncle Da get up quickly, what should be done now is to cure his mother's illness", Jiang Qi said with both arms, and pulled up Jiang Da who was kneeling on the ground alive.

"Young Master, your martial arts again!" Seeing that he knelt on the ground with all his might, he couldn't stop the huge force of those arms, and Jiang Da, who had opened his mind, was excited.

Seeing Jiang Da get up in surprise, Jiang Qi patted his thick shoulders and smiled, then looked at the few people who were still kneeling and said, "No, can Uncle Da get up?" Okay, Aunt Cui, hurry up! The kids are still young, don't scare them. Uncle Da, Qi still has something to do, don't grind, hurry up and pack up and I'll wait to enter the city, this is not a permanent place to live."

In the face of Jiang Qi's firmness, Jiang Da seemed to have found the backbone, and the pressure of many years was immediately eliminated. Moreover, he is not a person who does not know the importance of it, so he was not hypocritical immediately, and then said to his wife and children: "Okay, listen to the young master." Hurry up, take the children to clean up, Cheng'er, Ru'er, go and help your mother."

Watching Aunt Cui leave with the child, Jiang Qi asked curiously: "Uncle Da, Cheng'er and Ru'er are your children!" ”

As soon as he heard Jiang Qi's question, Jiang Da temporarily forgot about his sadness, and said with a happy face: "Yes, young master, you were born not long after you left. This year is just ten years old, Ru'er is seven years old and there is a little one named Yi'er, just five years old, and the name is given by Mrs. ”

Speaking of his mother, Jiang Qi immediately put away his thoughts, and hurriedly beckoned a few brothers to prepare to do business. Hearing Jiang Qi's shout, several cranky brothers came over with their horses one after another. Jiang Qi first asked Tai Shici, who had been keeping the money, "How much cash does the third brother have now?"

"The loose money I exchanged last time was basically used up, and there are about twenty gold cakes." Tai Shi Ci thought about it and said.

"That's enough, Uncle Da bothered you and the third brother to go to the city and find a courtyard that was enough for me and everyone to live in for the time being. There is a good environment to facilitate the mother's recuperation, and if you find a few more people, you may have to live for a month this time. ”

"No" "Good young master"

"Yide, Yuanyi, please go into the city to find a few famous doctors in the city, and wait to meet at the city gate."

"No"

"Zilong and Xiaolan, let's see if we can find two carriages nearby and prepare to move."

"No"

"Second brother, please help Aunt Cui move her things, Qi still has something."

"Fourth brother, why be polite."
