When I got out of school the next day, I didn't hear from the people in the village that the investigation team had come.

I felt a little bit of loss in my heart.

I told my dad about it in the evening, and he didn't seem to care about it.

"Ever since I received the news of my mother's death," my father began to tell the story, "I haven't had the heart to stay in the mountains for a moment.

"I found Cunli and said to him, 'I want to go home for a while, my mother is gone, and I will kowtow to her old man's grave anyway.'" You can practice in peace on the mountain, and I'll come back in a few months. ’

"Cunli said, 'Let's go back together, you leave me here alone, I'm lonely.'" ’

"I comforted: 'Aren't there still Shizu and Senior Brother Chong to accompany you?' ’

"Cunli stubbornly said: 'I don't care, I will follow you wherever you go.' If you want to go home, I will accompany you home. ’

"I thought about it for a moment and said, 'But when you go back, the soldiers won't settle accounts with you.'" ’

"Cunli said disdainfully: 'Let them come, it's a big deal to fight with them.' However, it has been two or three times, and they will not wait for me in the village every day. As long as I don't go into the city after I go back, they won't know that I'm back. ’

"I thought about it, so I took the gift to the ancestor to say goodbye.

"As soon as we stepped into the Haotian Palace, the ancestor sitting in the hall spoke: 'You two are here to say goodbye. ’

"Cunli and I looked at each other, and then I asked, 'How did the master know?'

"The master laughed and said, 'Your chance in this mountain is only two years, and now the time limit has expired, go.'" ’

"Cunli and I bowed to our ancestors and went out of the temple.

After packing his luggage, he said goodbye to Yi Qi Chong and the middle junior brothers, and looked for a way down the mountain.

"When I got home, my mother was already buried.

"I went up the hill and wept bitterly on my mother's grave, kowtowed a few times, and then went down the mountain.

"Before I entered the village, I saw your sixth master running over in a panic.

"I asked curiously, 'Cunli, where are you going in such a hurry?'

"Cunli didn't answer me directly, but said breathlessly: 'Oh no, no. ’

"I looked at him, thought that maybe he had caused another trouble, and said, 'What's the matter? You've been restless again just two days after you came back?'

Cunli was so anxious that he stomped his feet and stammered: 'Buddha, am I so uncompetitive in your eyes? ’

"I said, 'What the hell is going on, you can tell me.' ’

"Cunli said, 'Yingzhu is here. ’

"I didn't think about it for a moment and asked, 'Who is Young-joo?'

"Cunli said: 'It's the woman of a butcher in the town who was bitten to death by a vicious dog, the one who had to marry me last time. ’

"I laughed and said, 'Isn't that a good thing?' You didn't marry anyway, but you just came back this time to marry her and live a good life. You went to Shouyang Mountain this time, and you also got the master's mastery, so you don't need to go to Shaolin Temple to be a monk. ’

Cunli calmed down a little and said slowly, "There is some truth in what you said. But I didn't say what I did to other people's women, and I wanted to break my legs. I don't even dare to enter the door now. ’

"I said, 'You can make it clear to you.'" ’

"Cunli said helplessly: 'He didn't give me a chance to say anything, and as soon as I entered the door, he picked up the latch and chased after me. ’

"I had to say to him, 'Then I'll talk to you.'" ’

"When I arrived at your sixth master's house, I found that not only Yingzhu was here, but Yingzhu Niang was also sitting in the courtyard.

"It turns out that they have been asking around for news of your sixth master since me and your sixth master escaped from the town. A few days ago, I finally found out that your sixth master is in our village.

"The two of them sold the pig killing shop and a courtyard house, and brought the family's soft to your sixth master.

"I talked to your second master and explained to him what happened on the road, and he agreed to let your sixth master enter the door.

"From that day on, your second grandfather's family began to prepare for the wedding.

"A month later, Cunli and Yingzhu got married, and Yingzhu is your sixth grandmother.

"Since I came home, Yuhua came to my house every day, and I told her about my experience outside for two years, and she cried for a while and laughed for a while. I felt a sense of happiness that I had never felt before.

"The day after your sixth master got married, Aunt Zhen came. - Aunt Zhen is what you call the fairy grandmother, her big name is Feng Yizhen, at that time, she still lived in the village, and the children of the neighbors called her Aunt Zhen.

I looked behind Aunt Zhen, Yuhua didn't come along, and I felt that something was wrong.

"After Aunt Zhen entered the gate, she sat down on the bench in the courtyard and said, 'Buddha Dai, I know that you and Yuhua have grown up together since childhood, and you have always taken good care of her, like an elder brother. I am also grateful to you in my heart. ’

"When I heard this, I said, 'Aunt Zhen, if you have anything to say, tell me. ’

"Aunt Zhen said: 'Cunli has already married, you should also find a girl to start a family. I want to tell you today that according to our family tradition, Yuhua will inherit my mantle in the future, and she cannot get married. Now that you and Yuhua are both older, it's not a matter for the two of them to stick together often. ’

When I heard this, my head buzzed, as if I had been hit by a heavy object, and suddenly it went blank.

"Yuhua and I have long regarded each other as the most important person in our hearts, but I never thought about the future, thinking that I could always get along with Yuhua like this. As for starting a family, I never dared to think about it, because my parents were gone at that time, and no one came forward to manage it, so I could never mention it.

"Hearing Aunt Zhen's words today, I feel that the color of my life has suddenly turned gray.

"Aunt Zhen has always been very kind to me and usually takes good care of me, and I know that she is not targeting me because I know what she is talking about their family traditions.

"Aunt Zhen's mother was a woman who never married, and adopted Aunt Zhen when she was young.

Although Aunt Zhen had an emotional experience with He Lang when she was young, she has been alone since He Lang disappeared, and later adopted Yuhua.

"I think Yuhua will be like her mother in the future, and she will always live alone.

This thought had faintly flashed in my heart before, but I deliberately ignored it, and when Aunt Zhen said this today, my heart was completely desperate.

"After a long silence, I said, 'Aunt Zhen, don't worry, I will try to see Yuhua as rarely as possible in the future, and I will only treat her as a sister in the future. ’

After saying that, I left Aunt Zhen in the courtyard and went into the house by myself.

"In the evening, your master and Cunli came.

"As soon as Cunli entered the door, he said: 'Buddha generation, we are going to enter the mountain on the ninth day of the first month, do you want to go?' ’

"I didn't even think about saying, 'Go. ’

"Your father said, 'Then you can prepare, there are still five days. We set off early in the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. ’

"I nodded, then looked at the energetic Cunli and said, 'Why do you want to go into the mountains when you just got married?'

"Cunli shook his head and said, 'It's not fun to get married at all, it's better to go into the mountains. ’

We all laughed heartily.

Among the three of them, only my laughter was faintly bitter. ”
