As the saying goes: the world is unpredictable. The next morning, just as Xiao Huineng wanted to go to Li Xueru's private school to listen, he saw a servant wearing official uniform appear at the entrance of Xialu Village from a distance.

In a remote mountain village, I have never been to the government for many years, so the appearance of the government naturally attracted the curious eyes of the people in the village.

As soon as Li saw this officer, he recognized him at a glance, he was the official a few years ago.

When Li recognized the officer, her heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand—three or four years ago, it was this officer who sent a letter urging her husband to take her husband's life.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, this official actually stopped in front of the Lu family's thatched hut again......

Li subconsciously hugged Xiao Huineng tightly.

Before he could speak, a flattering smile appeared on his face.

He obviously saw the Li mother and son in the courtyard, but he still knocked politely on the door and said, "Is Master Lu's wife there?" Please receive the letter from the Guangzhou Yamen of Nanhai County. ”

Nanhai County governs Guangzhou? In that big city two hundred miles away, the Li family didn't even have any relatives eight generations away, let alone any connection with the Yamen.

Li hesitated and slowly walked towards the door.

Xiao Huineng was Lisuo, ran over, and invited the official who delivered the letter in.

"Madam, please take it. This is a handwritten letter from Lord Wen of the Yamen in Guangzhou. ”

Lee took the large envelope. She was still confused, and asked in a daze, "What Lord Wen?" Who is Bun-sama? ”

The official was also a little surprised: "Master Wen is the master of the South China Sea Thorn Shi Wen who has not been in office for a long time!" Our Xinzhou County is under the jurisdiction of his old man. Master Wen said in a letter to the county lord that he was the same class as your family Master Lu, can you not know Lord Wen? ”

Wen Fei, Wen Fei again! Wen Fei is already a big member of the party, but Lu Xingyu is ......

"Madam, don't dare to slack off on the errand assigned by Master Assassin, the county master is still waiting for me to reply."

Li slowly opened the envelope and took out the letterhead to look at it.

Wen Fei, who originally served as a bachelor of Hanlin in the court, was exiled to the Nanhai County to govern the history of Guangzhou. More than a month ago, he took office and came to Guangzhou, so he naturally asked the magistrate of Xinzhou about Lu Xingyao's situation. When he heard that his old friend had already died three years ago, he was very sorry. Especially when he learned that Lu's widow was struggling to live alone with her son Huineng, he was even more embarrassed. Therefore, he sent a letter asking Li to take his son to Guangzhou to live with his family, and he wanted to take on the responsibility of raising future generations for his old friend, so that Hui Neng could study, and in the future, he would gain fame and fame in the future, and inherit the long-standing tradition of the Lu family.

It's really pie in the sky, and good things fall from the sky.

However, the elders in the village all spoke in unison, opposing Huineng's mother and son going to Guangzhou to join the high-ranking Thorn Shi.

Some said: "I am not a close relative, I have never met, how dare I entrust my life to him?" ”

Some said, "That's it! You orphans and widows, go to that big provincial town where you are not familiar with your life, and you don't know that you have been sold! ”

……

Li's eldest brother and Huineng's uncle strongly objected: "You're not starving to death, why do you want to go out to seek refuge in others?" ”

Li said, "Big brother, look at what you say! Wen Fei is a classmate and friend of Xingyao, and he said in his letter that he treats Huineng like his own son, and he is responsible for the supply of food and clothing for our mother. ”

"What will people say about you, a widow, who has lived in someone else's house for a long time? If you really can't handle it anymore and can't open the pot at home, move back to Jiulang Village and go back to live in a foreign house. ”

Li asked, "Big brother, can you afford to send your children to school?" ”

"This ......" the uncle snorted a few times, and couldn't answer for a while.

An elderly Chen Bo in the village said: "As far as our land in Xinzhou County is concerned, there have been no Hanlin or Jinshi for thousands of years, and people are not living very well?" ”

Li pulled Huineng over, pushed him in front of everyone, and said as if solemnly announcing something: "He, surnamed Lu, is called Lu Huineng, and he is the son of Lu Xingyan. The Lu family has been a scholarly family for thousands of years, and it has been a famous family in all dynasties. The children and grandchildren of the Lu family, if they are reduced to not being able to go to school, the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs will be uneasy, and in the future, what face will I have to see my ancestors? I ......"

Later, Li couldn't stop crying.

Xiao Huineng originally wanted to tell what Li Xueru allowed him to listen to in the school, but when he saw that A-Niang couldn't cry, he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't say anything more.

However, moving a family is not a matter of moving after all.

Although Wen Fei said that Huineng mother and son in the South China Sea provided all the food, clothing, housing and transportation by him. But the Lee family still wanted to prepare some silver money in case of emergency.

And their family, what can be turned into money, is the one acre and two cents of thin land left.

In the midst of the urgency, there was no suitable buyer.

Besides, the Li family also wants to wait for the crops in the field to be harvested, and then change some coils.

Therefore, this delay was postponed again and again, and by the time the two of them finished preparing and really hit the road, it was already the end of summer, and more than half a year had passed since Wen Fei's letter.

From Xinzhou to Guangzhou, you can take a boat along the Xinxing River downstream, through Zhaoqing, into the Pearl River, all the way down the river and wind, very convenient.

However, the cost of the boat ride is not what Huineng's mother and son can raise.

Besides, even if the money from the sale of land is enough for the boat fare, the Li family is reluctant to take it out.

Therefore, the Li family planned to walk along the Tianlu Mountain Camellia Ancient Post Road, Gaoming and Foshan, and walk to Guangzhou.

On the day when Huineng's mother and son left for Guangzhou, almost all the villagers in the village came to see them off.

After hearing the letter, Li Xiaolan also rushed to see her off.

Huineng's uncle naturally came. He brought his little nephew some rare wild lychees that he picked by chance from the mountains, with large fruits, thick flesh, and extraordinarily sweet.

Huineng refused to enjoy it alone, so he gave it to everyone.

In the end, there was only a red lychee left in his hand.

People who have tasted wild lychees have intriguingly smacked their tongues, saying that they have never eaten such a delicious fruit.

Huineng looked at the last lychee in his hand, thought for a moment, and instead of eating it in his stomach, he wanted to plant it in the yard.

The uncle said, "Silly boy, lychees need to be pressed to multiply, so they can't be grown." ”

Huineng asked, "Uncle, have you ever planted lychees?" ”

"Nope. I always hear the old people say that lychees can't be sown. ”

"You haven't tried it, how can you be sure that lychees can't be born? Besides, since this lychee is very special and delicious, it will definitely be able to grow. ”

Uncle was stunned: This little nephew has very mysterious ideas in his head. He watched Huineng bury the lychee in the soil and said, "Huineng, even if this lychee can sprout, grow into a big tree, and bear fruit, you will have to leave, and you won't be able to eat it." ”

Huineng smiled and said, "I can't eat it, but you all can taste it." ”

A year later, the lychees sown by Xiao Huineng really broke through the soil. Since then, Lingnan people know that lychee reproduction, in addition to pressing strips and cuttings, can also be born. Sixty years later, Wu Zetian, the only empress in Chinese history, issued an edict to give Huineng's former residence as "Guoen Temple", a lychee tree with deep roots and lush leaves, supporting a green shade for the villagers who built the temple.

Today, more than 1,300 years later, the lychee tree planted by the six ancestors Huineng in his former residence is very magical, the strange thing is that it is from the drought in the world, this tree is full of fruits, and the lychees produced are known for their large fruits, thick flesh, small kernels, sweetness and refreshingness; The red lychees hanging on the trees, and the cores of the leftover lychees are all long with the word "Buddha", which is called "Buddha Li" by the locals, which is precious.
