The road is long when you go, and the road is short when you come.

The return journey along the way is not peaceful, because the world is not peaceful in the first place.

But fortunately, just like when he went, a poor person like Liu Heng basically wouldn't encounter too much trouble - once he left Wangyun Mountain City, he even immediately took off the cloth shoes on his feet and replaced them with straw sandals.

Wearing straw sandals is the duty of a poor man.

More than a thousand miles, when he went, there were four people, and after walking for nearly a month, only Liu Heng was left alone on the return journey, no matter how easy to deal with, his feet were strong and strong, and he had already returned to Daye City in just over twenty days.

On this afternoon, seeing the familiar village from a distance, Liu Heng finally showed a relaxed smile on his face.

He's back.

Coming back is always a happy thing.

When he met his neighbors all the way, everyone greeted them warmly, but only a few short steps, but before he could get home, the fact that Chen Le, Chen Pheasant and Liu Zhang had stayed in Wangyun Mountain Sect had already spread all over the small village.

If this news spreads in Daye City, I am afraid that it will not immediately cause a sensation in the whole city, but at present, in this small village, most of the villagers are simple, and they vaguely know something about what is going on with cultivating immortals, and they probably know a lot about the glory of cultivating immortals, so they are naturally excited and happy, so that they are also running to tell each other, but in the final analysis, it is just a feeling of "someone in our village is out of business". As for the sensation that can be caused in places like Ohno Castle, there will be no such thing.

Soon, a large yellow dog came into view.

Liu Heng just had time to tell Uncle Zhao, who was collecting firewood and selling firewood next door, to enter the city not to make a noise and publicize the matter, and when he caught a glimpse of the figure, he immediately turned around, but the dog had already pounced on him.

It whined, ignoring the people around Liu Heng, just squeezed them away rudely, and circled back and forth around Liu Heng, wagging its tail like crazy.

It looked up at Liu Heng, and Liu Heng looked down at it.

Suddenly, it barked at Liu Hengda with a serious expression.

"Wow, Wow, Wow!"

Very hard, very angry.

The villagers all laughed, and some said, "Rhubarb misses you!" When you first left, it was all thin and out of shape, and it has only recently gradually improved. ”

Liu Heng squatted down and confronted it.

It screamed again, then "whined" again.

Liu Heng grabbed its head and dragged it into his arms.

I did lose a lot of weight to the touch.

In fact, Liu Heng himself knew that he had lost a lot of weight.

Thin when you go, thin when you come.

Suddenly, Rhubarb broke free of Liu Heng's arm with all his might, circled around him, looked at the road in the distance, and looked everywhere, and began to chirp uneasily.

"Wang!" it barked at Liu Heng.

Liu Heng hugged it with a smile and said to it: "They won't come back for the time being, but when they come back, they will definitely bring you delicious food!"

............

The small yard has hardly changed compared to when I walked.

In front of the house there was a large patch of yellowed hay.

Liu Heng knew that this should have been cleaned up with Huang Dayuan's help - this is the case in the local area, even if it is an old yard that has lived for many years, when it comes to summer, grass must grow.

Pulled out the small wooden stick, pushed the door open and went in, something smelled moldy, so Liu Heng simply opened the door, walked around the room briefly and looked around, and came out again, seeing Huang Dayuan still squatting in the corner of the house, smirking at himself, he couldn't help but smile too, and said, "You are tanned." ”

Huang Dayuan stood up and said, "I've been helping my grandfather a lot lately. ”

Liu Heng laughed when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, I'll go see Mr. Huang!"

............

There were three immortal cultivators in the village at once, which seemed to many people to be a great thing to rejoice about, but Mr. Huang listened to it, a little happy, but a little sad.

Liu Heng knew that this was a knot in Mr. Huang's heart that he couldn't untie for the rest of his life.

Thinking that Huang Dayuan's father had to go out to cultivate immortals, and later sent back the news, saying that he was very talented and highly valued by the sect, but later, there was no news soon.

When the news came again, everyone said that he was dead.

It is said that Dayuan's grandmother was also sick for a long time before getting up, and Mr. Huang was almost white-headed overnight, and since then, he has become thinner and thinner, and he has never smiled on his face.

However, he rarely praised Liu Heng.

He said, "You're right to tell everyone not to talk about it. Don't boast, don't set up any archway, just live in peace. As it was before, it will continue to be!"

Liu Heng respectfully agreed.

Mr. Huang stayed with Liu Heng for dinner, but Liu Heng smiled and declined.

He had the three-fold cakes he bought on the road, and he hadn't finished eating them yet, so he went back to boil a bowl of boiling water and soaked it, which was a meal.

As a result, before the bowl of soaked Sanhe noodle cake was finished, Da Yuan ran over.

He was silent, and Liu Heng just ate with his head bored.

There were five cakes left, and he soaked two for himself and three for rhubarb.

As a result, the rhubarb was eaten first.

The weather was very hot.

When Liu Heng and the others left, the weather had just entered summer, and when they came back at this time, it was the height of summer.

There are quite a few mosquitoes.

It was getting darker than normal, and it was going to rain tonight.

Liu Heng finished eating the cake, put down the bowl, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Dayuan?"

Huang Dayuan sat on the bench of the tree stump of Liu Heng's house with his head bored and did not speak for a long time. After a long while, he asked, "Brother Heng, that means that you won't go to cultivate immortals in the future?"

Liu Heng said "um" and said, "It should be." I don't have talent. ”

Da Yuan continued to bow his head, and after a long while, he asked again, "That...... That...... The third sister's talent is so good, she must be a great immortal in the future. You say, will she come back to see us in the future?"

Liu Heng laughed when he heard this, a little bitter, and a little inexplicably emotional.

He knew what Da Yuan cared about.

After thinking about it, he said, "Yes." Dayuan, it will. ”

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning lit up, illuminating the youthful sorrow on Huang Dayuan's face.

Then the thunder rumbled.

Liu Heng said: "Da Yuan, go back, go home." It's time for a moment!"

Huang Dayuan lowered his head and didn't speak, and was stunned for a long time before he raised his head and said sullenly: "Then I'll go back to Brother Heng." Then he got up and walked out the door.

Another bolt of lightning lit up.

This was followed by more lightning, illuminating the dark night sky.

also illuminated Liu Heng's calm face in the thatched house.

In the midst of thunder and lightning, the wind suddenly rose again.

The strong wind caused the thatched roof in front of the thatched house to open and close violently.

Huang Dayuan didn't leave for a long time, and before he got home, the rain of beans had already fallen.

The ground crackled.

The dust that had not rained for many days was wafting up, and a smell of earth came to my nose.

However, this is a taste that Liu Heng is familiar with.

It's also the taste he likes.

On a rainy night like this in the past, the little brothers and sisters crowded at the door, and Rhubarb also crowded among the crowd, watching the storm outside, and enthusiastically discussing and reviewing the days when everyone was begging.

On such a day, if you don't get a bite to eat before the rain falls, you are doomed to go hungry today.

But not now, everyone has a small family, and the family has saved enough rations for half a month, and if you want to eat, you can cook it, and even save a lot of firewood, so you don't have to worry about burning.

In the past days, whenever it rained, whether it was a leaky ruined temple or a crumbling roof somewhere, everywhere was watery and damp, and if you wanted to sleep, you could only lie in that damp and uncomfortable place, and you were very sleepy and hungry, so you could barely sleep.

But now, no.

They have a home, they have their own house, they can watch the rain when they want to, and they can sleep when they want to.

One bed per person.

Dry and comfortable.

At that time, everyone thought: We are so happy!

............

Liu Heng squatted alone at the door, looking at the storm outside, the wind swept the raindrops, rushed into the house from time to time, and sprinkled Liu Heng's body, but he didn't have the slightest intention of closing the door or avoiding it.

Looking at such a rainy night, such lightning and thunder and downpour, he suddenly thought: We were really happy at that time!

Rhubarb suddenly squirmed.

Liu Heng turned his head to look at it.

Its nose was sticking out, and the rain was already wetting its head.

It whimpered, whimpered, and suddenly screamed at the rainy night.

"Wang!"

Liu Heng reached out and grabbed the hair on its back and dragged it to his side, and the rhubarb approached very obediently, and lay down again next to Liu Heng's body.

"Wang!"

It yelled at Liu Heng again.

"Rhubarb, do you miss them?" Liu Heng said.

"Wang!"

"I miss them too. ”

............

That night, the dog didn't sleep.

People didn't sleep either.
