Lin Yaohua smiled, glanced at the gaze poking out of the corner of the wall in the distance, and didn't care too much, stuffed the white dagger into the travel bag, and strode towards home.

After going around for forty or fifty miles, I crossed the river in a small village called Hujia, walked along the valley into the mountains, walked more than twenty miles, and walked another seven or eight miles along a small valley, and returned to the village, it was already dusk.

There are only a dozen households in the village, and occasionally there are laughter and scolding, which makes the village seem more and more quiet, under the strong wind, there are no pedestrians outside, and each family has a cat at home for dinner.

Lin Yaohua panicked to his home in the southernmost part of the village, the low fence seemed to be the same as five years ago, and the faint dim light revealed through the crack in the cave door, and the faint sound of laughter was faintly heard.

"Wangwang......" There was a dog barking in the yard.

Lin Yaohua stood in front of the fence gate, heard the familiar dog barking, two lines of hot tears flowed down, sniffled, reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, rubbed his face vigorously, and opened his mouth to shout: "Ah Huang, don't scream, big! I'm back." ”

Lin Changshui was drinking with his old father, the two children were eating on the kang, and his wife was eating on the kang while talking about the length of the village.

Suddenly, there was a dog barking outside the door, and vaguely, Lin Changshui heard someone outside the yard shouting "big", and he was busy drinking the noisy children, listening to it, and said again, "Big, I'm back." ”

Lin Changshui's body was shocked, he raised his feet and resisted, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, ran to the door, pushed open the door and looked out, only to see a tall figure standing in front of the dim fence door.

"Is Yaohua back?" the wife next to him squeezed over and shouted and trotted over.

"Mother!"

Lin Yaohua saw his mother running over, and the tears that had just stopped flowed down again.

Although Lin Yaohua has grown from a small person to a tall man, but with her mother's nature, Li Mei recognized her son at a glance in the dark night, Li Mei opened the fence gate, hugged Lin Yaohua and cried bitterly, Lin Changshui also came over, rubbed his hands excitedly, and his eyes became red.

"Come in first, the outside door is cold, don't be cold children. Lin Changshui reminded.

"Yes, yes, go home and go home, it's warm at home!" Li Mei said repeatedly.

After entering the cave, he saw that the grandfather on the kang was about to get off the kang, Lin Yaohua hurriedly said, "Master, you don't need to come down." ”

Grandpa opened his eyes wide, looked at the tall Lin Yaohua, cracked his mouth full of gaps, and said happily: "It's Yaohua, good guy, you've grown really tall." ”

Lin Changshui closed the door, pulled over the two children who were looking timidly and curiously, and ordered: "This is the eldest brother, do you still know each other?"

The twelve-year-old sister looked at the eldest brother, not at all like the impression she took, shy and didn't speak, but the eight-year-old brother was bold and shouted: "Big brother." ”

"Hey!"

Lin Yaohua happily replied, the mud monkey that crawled all over the ground back had also grown into a child, untied the travel bag on his back, and said, "Brother has fun for you." ”

Lin Changshui said to his wife: "My son hasn't eaten yet, hurry up and get down the bowl of noodles." Li Mei hummed and went to the kitchen.

Lin Yaohua took out the gifts one by one, two leather hats were given to the master and the eldest one, the head rope and bead flowers were given to the mother and sister, the short sword was given to the younger brother, and the five small jackets were moved out one by one, the five-colored cloth was placed on the kang, and there were some bits and pieces of gadgets collected for the younger brothers and sisters to play with, and both of them were excited to play with these novelty things by the kang.

The mother came in, looked at the things on the kang, and blamed: "It's not easy for you to make money outside, and it's a waste of money to buy so many things." ”

"It didn't cost much. ”

Lin Yaohua took the big bowl, turned his head and took out a small package, untied it, revealing five silver ingots, two silver bracelets, and four gold rings.

Li Mei covered her mouth in surprise, she had never seen so much money in her life, and looked at Lin Changshui with a look of fear in her eyes.

Lin Changshui said hoarsely: "Son, what are you doing outside, where did you get all this money?"

At that time, Lin Yaohua was taken away by Li Yigen, talking about going to Chang'an Restaurant to work as a helper or something, a shop junior, how can there be so much silver?

Lin Yaohua saw that his family was a little frightened, and deliberately said lightly: "My monthly routine is high, and it will be longer this year, these are all filial piety to you." ”

Lin Changshui didn't believe it very much, stretched out his hand to cushion the silver ingot, and said, "There are twenty taels here, a total of one hundred taels?"

Lin Yaohua sucked the noodles and nodded, picked up the silver bracelet and the gold ring and stuffed it to his mother, "One gold ring per person, the bracelet belongs to you and your sister, mother, you can take it and take a look, is it good-looking?"

Li Mei smiled with red eyes, rubbed the bracelet and ring, and tears dripped down again, "Good-looking, good-looking, my mother has never seen such a good-looking ring and bracelet in her life!"

She was the daughter of a poor family, and when she got married, she got a thin little silver ring, and she had never seen such beautiful jewelry.

Lin Changshui urged: "Put it away first, and look at it later, my son is still eating noodles!"

Li Mei hurriedly tied up the small package and put it in the cabinet next to the kang, turned her head to stare at her daughter and son, and ordered: "This cabinet can't be moved, you know?"

My younger siblings knew since they were young that the cabinet was full of valuables at home, and the children couldn't move it, so they all nodded and lowered their heads to play with their own things.

After Lin Yaohua finished eating noodles, he went out to wipe his body with water again, and came back to chat with his family.

I asked about the situation in the village at home, there was almost no change in the mountains, only a few more children, and I told my younger brothers and sisters some interesting things outside, and soon, my younger brothers and sisters were blinded and taken to sleep next door by my grandfather.

Lin Changshui and Li Mei stayed, and they were always worried about the source of the money without asking clearly, worried that their son would be taken badly.

Lin Yaohua took out the matching sword from the travel bag and pulled it out gently, Lin Changshui, Li Mei has always been uneasy in her heart, and when she saw this sharp weapon, she felt that this son was following the bad guys outside.

Lin Yaohua put on the oil lamp, pointed to the word "Huashan" engraved on the sword and said: "Big, mother, I didn't go to be a shopkeeper, but entered the Huashan faction of the martial arts faction." ”

Lin Changshui and Li Mei were illiterate and didn't know what the Huashan faction did, and when they heard that they were not the second shopkeeper, they were even more worried, and asked worriedly: "What does the Huashan faction do?"

Lin Yaohua was stunned, tilted his head and thought about it, what does the Huashan faction do? It seems that there is no need to do anything, this is not easy to say.

Lin Yaohua organized the language and said: "The Huashan faction is a well-known and upright family in the martial arts, with hundreds of people, dozens of shops and storefronts, and tens of thousands of acres of fields. ”

When Lin Changshui heard that he was decent, his heart was half relieved, and he asked: "You won't do those ......" The latter words were not easy to say in front of his son.

Lin Yaohua shook his head and said with a smile: "How could it be! The Huashan faction specializes in fighting these robbers. ”

Lin Changshui and Li Mei were relieved, and they wondered, "How could they give you so much silver?"
