A few hours later, Lin Xiuqi returned to his long-lost hometown, Yidong City.

I can gradually see the buildings in the city, the botanical garden, long time no see!

Stepping on the land of his hometown again, Lin Xiuqi sighed in his heart, he did not continue to ride, but took a walk instead.

Geoparks, Libraries, Municipality...... The familiar city, the familiar order, and the various real estate names still can't be memorized by heart.

Walking in the mortal land, although there is no aura, there are feelings, and everything has a familiar and unfamiliar feeling.

He didn't go home directly, but walked around the city before walking in the direction of his home, perhaps to see the changes in the city, or maybe he was just afraid of his hometown.

Nearly three years have passed since the day of the interview, and it has been almost five years since he last went home, and just as he lamented that time had flown by, an old building could gradually be seen in front of him, where he had lived since he was a child, and he knew every alley nearby, no matter how long he had not returned, it was so familiar.

In the nearly a year since he became a monk, his life has been completely different from the original, and now he is facing the upcoming mortal life, and he doesn't know if he will be able to adapt to it.

Lin Xiuqi slowed down and looked at his surroundings, and he found that there were still some changes in the vicinity.

There are a few new restaurants opened, and from the outside, they are not low-grade, at least bright and clean.

A small supermarket, where people come and go, and this time is mostly patronized by people who don't have time to make breakfast, and this time he doesn't have to go far to buy things.

A café with a beautiful signboard with a blue sky flying feather as a background, and a good name, called "Feather Coffee".

The new scenery and old colors may be just ordinary in the eyes of others, but in Lin Xiuqi's eyes, there is a kind of laziness and comfort like softening vision.

Home, sure enough, is an unusual existence.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly, thinking that with his mother's character, if he didn't bring a gift home, he would easily be ridiculed, and the next day he would basically be known to everyone.

He entered the supermarket without hesitation, and a few minutes later, he walked out with two bottles of wine, two cigarettes, and a delicately packaged tea gift box.

Standing outside the supermarket, he looked at the plastic bag in his hand and had a strange feeling, after all, he hadn't carried anything in his hand for a long time.

After a while, he stood in front of an old building with yellowed walls, looked up at the familiar window on the fifth floor, the balcony had been renovated and insulated, and he showed a complicated smile, it should have been a joy to go home, but at the moment, he could not be happy in any way.

Walking into the building, the corridor is not bright, the staircase is not wide, everything is familiar, a waste bicycle that has been parked on the second floor is gone, the garbage in the building is gone, everything is much better than five years ago.

Standing at the door of the house, looking at the unfamiliar Spring Festival couplets pasted on the familiar door, Lin Xiuqi was a little nervous.

He took three deep breaths, stabilized his mood, knocked lightly on the door, and waited quietly.

"Dangdang!"

"Who?" said a man's voice through the door.

"Dad! It's me!"

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came out, the door was slammed open, and an old man appeared in front of Lin Xiuqi.

I haven't seen him for five years, and my father, who was already old, looks even older, and at this moment, my father just stared at him, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but he didn't speak.

Lin Xiuqi no longer had to control himself, stepped forward and hugged his father, tears dripping down big eyes.

At this moment, he had a sense of security, not because of the wealth of his family, nor because of the improvement of his cultivation, but because he returned home.

At this moment, an old woman with pure white curly hair and fashionable clothes walked out of the back room, saw Lin Xiuqi, and walked forward in two steps.

When Lin Xiuqi saw his mother, who was in good spirits but was also old, he stepped forward to give him a hug, but the other party slapped him on the forehead.

"You little bunny, you still know how to come back!"

Seeing his mother with tears in the corners of her eyes, she said this sentence a little stubbornly, and Lin Xiuqi's tears came out of her eyes with ease.

Maybe it's because the experience in the past few years is too bizarre, maybe it's just a catharsis of the topic, or maybe it's just a simple miss, seeing that the second old man is well, his heart that has been hanging for more than a year finally falls.

"Xiao Qi, why did you get a bald head. Father wondered.

"It's good to be bald, clean and trouble-free, I haven't come back to see it after going out for so long, you see you're fat outside!"

As soon as the mother's words came out, all three of them laughed.

As soon as Lin Xiuqi entered the house, before he had time to see the changes in his home, his parents were busy taking the things in his hands and cooking for him.

He looked around, there was a motofu picture hanging on the wall facing him, the layout and furnishings of the home had not changed, most of the furniture was the "latest" from twenty years ago, strong and durable, it had been yellowed, the floor and walls had been renovated, and the TV had been replaced with a wall-mounted type, which was the most fashionable thing in the home.

Looking at the busy figure of his parents, Lin Xiuqi felt very nostalgic, very comfortable, and very happy, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help. Reed bamboo forest

Reliving the warmth of the family, the three of them chatted while eating, the second elder was worried about his body and asked about the work situation, Lin Xiuqi replied one by one, of course, most of them were made up.

The wine is not more than one tour, and the food is not more than three flavors.

"The neighbor Lao Li's family has a granddaughter, who is a good person, about the same age as you, and called her home for dinner another day. ”

"The daughter of the old Zhang family in the front building is good and diligent, you go and meet it!"

Forced marriage may be the second elder's favorite entertainment.

Lin Xiuqi was about to divert the topic, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Mother Lin took off her apron and went out to open the door.

Finally had the opportunity to have a good meal, Lin Xiuqi tasted his mother's private dishes, and sure enough, the delicacy was not as delicious as the taste of home.

"Xiao Qi, you eat slowly, yes, look at you, you have been this gobbling virtue since you were a child, no wonder you are so fat!"

Lin Xiuqi also ignored his father's words and devoted himself to the "sweep".

At this moment, I only heard my mother say, "Oh! Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yu, come in, come in." ”

"Hello Aunt Lin!"

"Have you eaten, come and eat together, I tell you, my son is back, Xiaoxuan, Auntie likes you...... Little bunny, how do you know how to eat, you can't come yet!"

Mother Lin couldn't help but roar when she saw Lin Xiuqi's appearance.

Lin Xiuqi rolled his eyes and showed an expression of "what can you do with me" to his mother.

Glancing at the two who entered the door.

"Poof...... Ahem!ahem!ahem!"

"Look at you, you're quite a big person, and you can choke on eating. Father patted Lin Xiuqi on the back and said helplessly.

Lin Xiuqi really didn't expect that his most proficient eating skills would even fail to be released, and he didn't expect that he would know the two of them just after entering the door.

The "Xiaoxuan" in Lin's mother's mouth is a young woman, about twenty years old, she is dressed in loose sportswear, her hair is tied into a ponytail at will, her eyebrows are like willows, and her apricot eyes are like stars.

"Xiao Yu" is a young man, also about twenty years old, this body is grandiose, the air is magnificent, the appearance is even more handsome, like "Xiao Xuan", a pair of deer eyes are like water waves undercurrent, a pair of sword eyebrows fade into the sideburns, lips like Shi Zhu, teeth like silver, the most intolerable is that the skin can be blown and broken, even a woman has to be ashamed of herself.

In the eyes of others, these two people may just be two young men and women with excellent appearance, but Lin Xiuqi knows that the two have the surname Dugu, they are a pair of sisters and brothers, the elder sister is named Dugu Ningxuan, and the younger brother is named Dugu Mingyu.

Lin Xiuqi didn't expect that he had just arrived home and was discovered by the other party before he finished eating.

"Brother Worm, someone is looking for you!"

"Tell them that the immortals are not available!"

"You're busy?"

"Go online!"

“...... The influence of the Dugu family is nothing more than that. ”

Mother Lin looked at Lin Xiuqi and was stunned, I don't know if it was an illusion, she suddenly felt that her son's temperament was a little different, and there was a sense of being out of the dust, and even respectful.

"This is my son Lin Xiuqi, don't look at him stupid, he is a good person, but he is a little fatter...... In fact, he doesn't know how to take care of himself outside, and he is also a beautiful man when he loses weight...... Xiao Qi, this is the owner of the café at the entrance of the street, Du Ningxuan and Du Mingyu, you haven't come to say hello!"

Lin Xiuqi knew that the people of the Dugu family all had "Du" as their surname, and said casually: "Ah, haha...... You guys...... Great!"

"Thank you Brother Lin for your concern, we are fine. ”

After that, Dugu Ningxuan looked at Lin Xiuqi with a smile, smiling very brightly, and had a feeling that her dream had come true.

When Lin Xiuqi heard this, he was a little embarrassed for a while, he knew that he was also saying goodbye at the beginning, but it was not he who was taken away by the little transfer talisman voluntarily, no matter what, seeing the two of them at this moment, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The same words sounded to Mother Lin but had a completely different meaning, she didn't expect that Du Ningxuan, who had always turned a blind eye to suitors, would call her "brother and sister" when she saw her son for the first time, she was happy in her heart, and she winked at Father Lin.

"Ah, ah, I made an appointment with your mother and someone to square dance, and you guys talked first. Father Lin said with interest.

Lin Xiuqi thought to himself, Dad, don't make trouble, it's only half past twelve at noon, what kind of square dance is it! On the surface, he said: "Ah, you guys slow down, don't be tired." ”

Seeing that the second elder left a table of food and left in a hurry, Lin Xiuqi's heart was full of helplessness.
