Chapter 17: Home

As soon as the sky was hazy, the lights of Xiejia Village gradually turned on, and even in the cold winter, there was no lazy sleep.

Because diligence has been deeply rooted in the soul and carved into the bone marrow, the only thing that the Zhuang family can rely on is their own hands.

It's not farming time, no one walks around in the village, the only exception is none other than Xiangyang.

She stood in front of her house, still in black shorts, except that she carried a long sword, an iron box and a small black jar.

Xiang Yang looked at the familiar home in her memory, her eyes were sour, she didn't expect that she had left and returned home three years later.

Maybe it's the guilt that makes Xiangyang have no courage to push the door in, or maybe it's the remorse that makes Xiangyang can't bear to disturb his parents' dreams.

She waited quietly, waiting for her family to find out, waiting for the moment to reunite with her loved ones.

A soft "squeak" sounded, in this silent morning, it was particularly abrupt, waking up Xiang Yang who was deep in thought.

She looked up quickly and looked at the door in front of her, still closed. Xiang Yang thought that he missed his family too much, had auditory hallucinations, couldn't resist the desire in his heart, and was about to push the door in.

"Yang'er, is it Yang girl?" a familiar voice sounded in my ears, it turned out that it was not an auditory hallucination just now, it was the door of the aunt's house next door.

Xiang's mother, who was sleeping in the house, suddenly sat up, "Yang'er, why did I hear someone shouting Yang girl?"

Xiang Mu pushed the sleeping Xiang father beside him, "Did you hear someone call Yang girl just now?"

Xiang Father rolled over and muttered, "You are hallucinating again, and you still can't sleep early in the morning?"

At this moment, Xiang Yang's voice came from outside, "The second aunt is me, you are so early." ”

This time, Xiang Father, completely lost his sleepiness, lifted the quilt and sat up, and Xiang Mother had already rushed out, forgetting to put on her shoes, and Xiang Father followed closely behind.

Outside the door, Xie Ershen stepped forward and looked at Xiang Yang carefully, "You've grown up, you've become a big girl, where have you been? Why have you been gone for so many years?"

When Xiang Yang was about to reply, he only heard a "bang", and the courtyard door of the house opened from the inside, swinging back and forth, making a squeaky sound.

A figure rushed out from inside, and came to Xiang Yang in one or two steps, without saying a word, looking at Xiang Yang with red eyes.

Xiang Yang looked at the person who ran out barefoot in front of him with only pajamas, held back his tears, stepped forward, and gently hugged each other, "Mother, the unfilial daughter Yang'er is back, I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

Xiang's mother was already crying at this time, and Xiang's father, who arrived later, said to the mother and daughter who hugged each other: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, the child is, if you have something to say, it's too cold outside, let the child come into the house to warm up." ”

Xiang Mu responded in a continuous voice, holding Xiang Yang's hand tightly, and walked towards the courtyard, while Xie Erzhen had already left with interest.

Xiang Father closed the door and entered the house, Xiang Tian and Chuncao had already gotten up when they heard the sound, and the family finally got together again after three years, and they couldn't help but be a little excited.

The people in Xiang's family surrounded Xiang Yang, kept asking, Xiang Yang answered all questions, and the warmth in his heart drove away the cold wind.

The black jar that Xiang Yang hugged tightly in his hand attracted Xiang Mu's attention, "Yang'er, what are you holding?"

"Daddy, I have something to tell you. Xiang Yang gently placed the black jar on the table and said solemnly to his parents.

Glancing at her father and mother, her daughter spoke to herself in this tone for the first time, and said busily: "Daddy, I worshipped a master in the martial arts academy, and he has always been teaching me, although he did not recognize me as a disciple, but he will always be my master in my heart." ”

Xiang Father and Mother quietly listened to Xiang Yang's narration, listening to what happened in the three years since his daughter left, and the distress on his face was not concealed.

In the end, Xiang Yang's tone was a little more firm, Grandpa Song was alone, no worries, no relatives, I had secretly promised to give her his old age and send him to the end, so, father, mother, I want to recognize him as a grandfather. ”

Xiang Father and Mother were stunned, and they didn't expect their daughter's request to be this.

Looking at the daughter in front of me, who is no longer squeamish and impetuous, I am full of distress, but more of a gratification, for my daughter's sensible, self-reliant, self-improvement, and gratitude to her.

They should be grateful to the old man for teaching his daughter so well, and why should they stop it?

"If you do the right thing, you will stand the grave of Song Lao next to your grandfather, and we will respect him as we did to your grandfather. ”

Xiang Yang picked up Song Lao's ashes, "Dad, mother, no need, I want to find a place to settle down for Grandpa Song alone." ”

After that, he turned to Chuncao, who had been sitting next to him silently, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry and want to eat the vegetable cakes you made." ”

Chuncao stood up and said as he walked out, "I'll go and make it for you." ”

Xiang Yang hurriedly stopped, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the mountains first, and I'll eat when I come back." Mother, can you help me prepare some sacrifices?"

Montenegro, the land of the first sight of the man. There is a new tomb more than 8 years ago, which reads: the tomb of grandfather Song Yang, and the granddaughter stands to the sun.

Xiang Yang sat there quietly, with sparkling soot in front of him. Fireworks are fleeting, and they are still disappearing after struggle.

"Grandpa Song, do you like this place?" Xiang Yang slowly looked around, and when he saw the flat platform, a smile appeared.

"This place is the reason why I embarked on a journey to find immortals, I called him Ascension. Eight years ago, I met someone, maybe it was a bad fate. The smile on Xiang Yang's face was soft and warm.

"Let me know, it turns out, there is another kind of person besides us. Beyond us, there is another world, a world of mysterious anomalies. I don't know if it's a mistake for me to go out. I can't hold myself back, and I can't stop my yearning for that world, I want to see it, see the world that person lives in. Ironically, it took me three years to take a small step. ”

"Eight years have passed, and perhaps the day of goodbye is still far away. But Grandpa Song, I still want to go to a place where there is him, even if it is a gamble for the rest of my life. If you know that this is the reason for my cultivation, you will definitely be able to be revived by my anger, hehe. Grandpa Song bless me, bless your spineless granddaughter to get what she wants. ”

When the words fell, the ashes in front of him, which had long been completely extinguished, danced in the wind, surrounding Xiang Yang, as if he was guarding the side, and the four seemed to encourage him to move forward bravely.

Xiang Yang's eyes were obviously wet, and the scene of getting along in the martial arts academy flashed in his mind, the warmth brought to him by the old man with a cold face and a warm heart, at this moment, she was deeply hidden in her heart, and the warmth that radiated was full of her body, which brought him and her great courage. Even if the sea of swords and fire is in front of him, he will never back down.

As the sun sets, Sunset is still unwilling to give up this indifferent land, giving a touch of warmth to those who try their best but can't see hope.

Xiang Yang walked on the rural dirt road in his memory, and the feeling in his heart was beyond words.

Slow down the pace, say hello to the familiar neighbors, blow the familiar cold wind, there is no place in the body that is not relaxed, maybe it is a matter of heart, I feel that everything is better than ever.

Xiang Yang stepped into the house and followed the sound to the kitchen, where his mother and sister-in-law were preparing dinner.

"Yang'er is back, go to the house to rest for a while, the meal will be ready immediately. ”

Xiang Yang smiled and did not move, but persuaded Xiang Mu, "Mother, you go to the house to warm up, I will do it with my sister-in-law, let you taste my craft, I still have to learn more from my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law is good at cooking." ”

Seeing that Xiangyang insisted, Xiang's mother obeyed her daughter's wishes and turned around and went back to the main house.

Looking at the ingredients in front of me, I sighed in my heart, helpless but extremely warm, this is my family, the closest and most concerned person in this life.

Xiang Yang stood in front of Chuncao and said softly, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"

In the morning, Xiang Yang noticed that something was wrong with Chuncao, a person who is usually cheerful and cheerful, but since he returned home, he has been in a state of distraction and absent-mindedness.

A person who is usually so good to himself, but he doesn't have a word of concern for himself who hasn't returned for many years, it's too abnormal.

I don't want to, it's okay for Xiang Yang not to ask, but when he asked, Chuncao actually raised his hand to cover his mouth and cried, and the whimpering sound sounded sour, which was particularly distressing.

Xiang Yang gently grabbed the spring grass, let it lean against him, and patted her back with his hand.

Xiang Yang didn't understand, what happened to Chuncao, which made a person change so much.

In the silent company of Xiang Yang, Chuncao gradually quieted down and told Xiang Yang the ins and outs of the matter.

Chuncao and Xiangtian have been married for three years, but they have never been pregnant. I have also taken the medicine, and the doctor has also seen it, but there is no improvement at all. In the end, the doctor even asserted that Chuncao would not be pregnant in this life, let alone have a child of her own.

Although Xiang Tian said that he didn't care, he didn't have children, it didn't matter, he didn't marry her for children, the two of them lived a down-to-earth life, and they were very happy to be filial to their parents.

But Chuncao couldn't bear the disappointment in Xiang's mother's eyes, and didn't want Xiangjia's incense to be cut off in her hands. Xiang Father and Mother also said that it doesn't matter, the more they treat Chuncao, the more pressure they have, so much so that it has become like this.

Chuncao, hoarsely shouted, "But I'm not reconciled, I don't believe God will do this to me." You don't know, your brother didn't take any imperial examinations for me and for me. Do you know how smart your brother is, he is so powerful, but he is trapped in this rural place for me, and he can't get out for the rest of his life, how can I give up?"

Although Chuncao was so sad, the happiness in her eyes couldn't be hidden. The person he married was so good to him, and he lived up to his persistence and persistence back then.

Xiang Yang looked at the tearful man in front of him, crying and laughing, just now, when Chuncao told what happened, Xiang Yang had already taken Chuncao's pulse and diagnosed her.

If it was placed in the past, there was indeed no cure, and this incurable disease could indeed be regarded as a terminal disease in this kind of place.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, I have a way, do you believe me?"

She walked quickly into the kitchen, clutching Xiang Yang's arm, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Yang girl, you really have a way, don't lie to me." ”

Xiang Yang looked at the two people who were dragging their arms respectively, the longing on their faces was so obvious, Xiang Yang did not procrastinate, and replied concisely and affirmatively: "Yes, although it can be cured, but the process is a bit slow, sister-in-law has to wait a few more years, I will prescribe a prescription for you first, and take care of your body." ”

"No matter how long it takes, I wait, no matter how much decoction, I drink it!" Chuncao's excitement at this time was indescribable, just holding on tightly to Xiangyang, grasping this only hope.

Xiang's mother patted the back of Chuncao's hand, "Good boy, I've suffered you, but fortunately, God hasn't forgotten you." ”

"I'm so happy today, no one should fight with me, I'll cook. Without saying anything, he pushed Xiang Yang and the two out of the kitchen.

Chuncao didn't fight with Xiang Mu, she was anxious to share the good news with Xiang Tian.

After the meal, Xiang Yang lay on the bed that he hadn't slept in for three years, comfortable and warm, but there was no trace of sleepiness at all, and his mind was full of joy to see his family.

Thinking of his sister-in-law's illness, now she can only let her take care of her body, there must be a way to get off the Jimen, maybe there is some elixir that can be easily cured, so it is right to go out by yourself.
