Tianyun Village looks a little dilapidated from the outside, it is the appearance of an ordinary rural village, Xiao Yueming and the three of them are standing outside the village on horseback, you can see the villagers coming and going in the village, some of them are holding dustpans woven with bamboo strips, they are sifting mixed rice, and there are some young and middle-aged men, carrying farm tools on their shoulders, are walking outside the village, it seems that they are going to go down to the field to farm.

The three of them dismounted, and then led the horses to the entrance of the village, and several men carrying farm tools came up to them:

"Er Mazi, why did you come back at this point, you don't have to help at the inn. ”

This man seemed to be very familiar with Er Mazi, there were some slight cracks on his weather-beaten dark skin, they were all wearing shabby linen clothes, and the straw sandals on their feet were also covered with dust.

When Er Mazi heard this, he couldn't help but smile:

"I quit my job at the inn, and now I'm an idler, and I want to take advantage of the time to go home to accompany my mother, she is also old, and it's not easy. ”

When those men heard that Er Mazi had asked for his resignation, they all grew their mouths in surprise, and they saw that the man who had just talked to Er Mazi was surprised:

"Hey, such a good errand, why do you say just leave, stay in the inn to do chores, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, how comfortable, look at our brothers, every day the wind and the sun are blowing, do you know how much I envy you?"

"Yes, yes, you really don't know how to be blessed, I remember that you still have some wasteland at home, and we will go down to the ground together in the future, and we will have a companion. ”

"The little girl from the Wang family next door has been thinking about you. ”

Er Mazi scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then pointed to Xiao Yueming and Su Lan beside him and introduced:

"These two are good brothers that I met outside the country, and I want to recognize them when I go home today. ”

Several other men had already seen Xiao Yueming and Su Lan standing beside Er Mazi, looking at the man in white clothes covering his face, a seat in white clothes fluttering, like a fairy manifestation, the man in black next to him showed the hilt of the sword behind him, his eyes were sharp like thorns, and he was not easy to match at first glance, they were all ordinary farmers, they had never seen much of the world, and they had been going back and forth in the dirt and thatched houses all their lives。

Er Mazi's careful thoughts, how can they hide Xiao Yueming's seven exquisite hearts, patting Er Mazi's thin shoulders affectionately, the two are like brothers who are close to each other:

"Brother Mazi and I also hit it off at first sight, when we were drinking in Baiyue Tower that night, the three of us had already said that we wanted to walk the rivers and lakes together, appreciate the great rivers and mountains, and came to visit today, just to see Brother Mazi's mother, to say goodbye. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several men changed, from the previous restraint to bursts of consternation.

Baiyue County is already a behemoth in their hearts, and the people who climb the Baiyue Tower must be unattainable immortals.

Several people looked at Er Mazi's eyes, and there was no previous casual affinity, they were all full of fear, and their voices changed along with their voices, with a slight trembling:

"Er Mazi, no, Brother Mazi, we still have farm work to finish, so we won't bother. ”

After a few people said that, they hurriedly picked up the farm tools and left the village in a hurry.

Er Mazi turned to look at the few men who had escaped, scratching his head at a loss, and he didn't know why their reaction was so strong, it was like a different person.

Looking at the somewhat confused Ermazi, Xiao Yueming looked at it and said indifferently:

"Why is it not the same, is your heart more comfortable?"

Staring at the farmers who were gradually moving away from him, Er Mazi frowned, then shook his head, and his tone was a little puzzled:

"We are all bare-bottomed, together in the open crotch pants of the brothers, childhood relationship is still very good, nothing to talk about, and then I don't want to do in the field facing the loess, back to the sky hard work, so I got an errand in Yongchang Inn, they see that I work very well, do not need to be exposed to the wind and sun every day, so they also want to go out of the village to break through, but these brothers of mine, have never gone to private school, have no knowledge in their stomachs, and their mouths are also benzene, and the bosses are unwilling to ask them, so they have to return to the village to do farm work, it is from then on, I found that they are deliberately alienating me。 ”

"It turns out that I didn't care much about it, after all, everyone has grown up and has their own troubles, I just thought about sharing my happy events with my brothers, so that everyone can have fun together, but I didn't expect their reactions to be so intense, it's like a different person, Brother Xiao, I suddenly feel that they have become so strange, these decades, I feel that I have never seen through them. ”

Er Mazi was a little at a loss, his childhood brother, suddenly, for some reason, left him, a feeling that seemed to be sad and helpless, but helpless, shrouded Er Mazi.

Gently patting Er Mazi's shoulder, Xiao Yueming said in a deep voice:

"Brother Mazi, this is the gap between people, originally you lived together in Tianyun Village, naturally there was no barrier, and when you found the errand of Yongchang Inn, there was a gap between you, and now, you climbed the Baiyue Tower that they never dreamed of, you are no longer a person all the way, and even when you step out of Tianyun Village and enter the huge rivers and lakes martial arts, you and these childhood playmates, there will be no more intersections. ”

"Manpower is limited after all, we can't have everything, even if we stand at the top of the martial arts, the half-step peerless Tongtian martial artist, they all have their own regrets and powerlessness, Brother Mazi, I say this, you understand. ”

Xiao Yueming said, Er Mazi really didn't understand it, but faintly, he understood the true meaning of what Xiao Yueming said, and the knots in his heart were also resolved a little.

led Xiao Yueming and Su Lan into Tianyun Village, which is no different from other villages, with thick smoke from earthen houses, old people sitting and chatting at the door, women picking vegetables, and children chasing and playing, with two pigtails in the field, ordinary and warm, is the best portrayal here.

Er Mazi as one of the few people in the village, leaving the village to work in a big place like Baiyue County, is also a celebrity in the village, although Er Mazi is just an inn miscellaneous guy, but the money he earns is much more than farming in this backward village.

Because of this, there are many girls in the village who are waiting to be married, and they are all eyeing the fragrant bait of Er Mazi, and they want to take the opportunity to leave this backward Tianyun Village and go to live in a big city like Baiyue County.

Different from the joy from the bottom of his heart when he came, Er Mazipi greeted the villagers of Tianyun Village with a smile, and he obviously hadn't completely relieved himself from the previous scene at the entrance of the village.

Tianyun Village is located in the middle of nowhere, it has reached the very edge of Baiyue County's jurisdiction, except for the caravans and foot merchants passing by, no one else enters the village, and the surrounding village names are curiously looking at the two young men brought by Er Mazi.

Just a few glances, Xiao Yueming and Su Lan also automatically ignored it, this Tianyun Village occupies a lot of land, the three of them led the horses and walked for a quarter of an hour, and then they came to Er Mazi's residence.

Er Mazi's house is the only wooden house in the village, surrounded by a high fence, this house is placed in Baiyue County, naturally it is nothing, but in Tianyun Village, it is definitely a big mansion.

Su Lan looked at the wooden house in front of him, which was not bad, and quipped:

"Brother Mazi, all I saw along the way, all I saw were earthen houses made of mud and weeds, but your family lived in a wooden house and a mansion. ”

Holding the reins in his left hand, he pushed open the wooden courtyard door with his right hand, and Er Mazi said with some embarrassment:

"Brother Su, don't talk about me like that, the surrounding woods within a radius of ten miles are all under the management of the government, they don't let people cut down privately, I also saved a lot of silver, so I bought some wood, and found someone to build this house, the old lady is old, the earthen house is too damp, since there are conditions, I must let the old lady live better." ”

The three of them walked into the courtyard, a field was reclaimed in front of the house, some seasonal vegetables were planted, and there were a few hemp chickens in the yard.

Entering the courtyard, Er Mazi's frustrated mood dissipated a lot, the door of the house was open, and he walked into the room quickly, and said in a cheerful tone:

"Mother, I'm back!"

After Er Mazi shouted, he sat down at the wooden table in the room, there were a few black insect eyes on the wooden table, although it was a little shabby, but the desktop was spotless and clean.

Picked up the teapot on the table and poured three cups of tea, at this time, Xiao Yueming and Su Lan also walked into the house.

There are several simple wooden furniture in the house, the furniture is a little old, it looks a little old, a few strings of dried corn are tied with ropes on the wall, and a half-person-high ceramic water tank is placed at the door on the left, and the whole house is simple and simple, with a strong atmosphere of life.

The two walked slowly to the wooden table, and saw an old man, pacing out of the room on the west side, and Er Mazi, who was pouring tea, put down the teapot in his hand, and then hurriedly stepped forward to help:

"Mother. ”

The old man's back bowed slightly, her silver hair was neatly coiled behind her head, her eyes were covered with a dark gray film, which was already a little cloudy, although the clothes on her body were not good fabrics, but they were much more decent than other old people in the village, and the old man's clothes were not a little dust and oil stains, and it could be seen that she was a person who loved neatness.
