Chapter 284: Returning Home

I finally found a place, but the scene in front of me has become very unfamiliar.

The gate of the Spring and Autumn Temple has completely collapsed, and the halls and houses on the mountain have also been burned down, although it is obscured by heavy snow, you can still see shocking scorched black traces everywhere.

Shen Luo went to Qingshiping where he once lived to take a look, which was also burned to ashes.

In the end, he lit three incense sticks at the important sites in the temple, such as the mountain gate, the Tianwang Hall and the Jade Emperor Palace, and then went down the mountain and left.

On the way back, he secretly thought in his heart that if he had the opportunity one day, he would definitely rebuild the Spring and Autumn Temple on this original site.

When I returned to Chunhua County, it was already early in the morning of the second day.

Before the gate of the county town was opened, Shen Luo was already waiting outside the door.

With the ringing of a distant morning bell, the gate of the county town finally slowly opened inward, and before Shen Luo could enter the door, he saw a large number of people gathered in the city gate, and rushed out of the city.

He didn't know what was going on, so he could only hide with some farmers who were waiting to enter the city to sell vegetables and fruits.

However, judging from the calm expressions on the faces of the surrounding farmers, it seems that they have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Brother, what's going on, why do the people in this city run out of the city early in the morning?" Shen Luo leaned over to a swarthy farmer and asked.

"Little brother is from out of town, right?" the farmer said, looking Shen Luo up and down.

"My home is in the city, but I haven't been back for a long time. Shen Luo explained casually.

"No wonder...... Those people are in a hurry to go to the Yuanzhu Temple outside the city to offer incense, every fifteenth day of the new year, the Yuanzhu Temple will open the temple gate, and at the same time give alms and meals, but also let the believers enter the temple to burn incense and pray. The farmer said with a blank expression.

"I know about the Yuanzhu Temple, it's been a few years since the temple was built, but I've never heard of incense being so vigorous?" Shen Luo said with some doubts when he heard this.

"That was before, and now the Yuanzhu Temple is amazing!" the farmer crossed his waist with one hand and waved Shen Luo with the other.

"What's so unlawful? I also asked my brother to tell me. Shen Luo was a little curious and asked.

"To say that two years ago, there was indeed no incense in the Yuanzhu Temple, but in the past two years, I don't know if there is a great virtue in this temple, or there is really a god to protect it, it is really responsive, and the gods are very good. The farmer said in amazement.

As soon as Shen Luo heard this, he knew that there were some rumors of gods and gods, and he immediately lost interest.

He looked at the city gate, and waited for the crowd to disperse, and then went home.

When the farmer saw that he had stopped talking halfway through his words, he was a little uncomfortable, so he had to speak again:

"Little brother, don't you know yet, behind the Guanyin Hall of the Yuanzhu Temple, there is a sweet well, but all the women who have made a wish in the temple can drink such a small sip and go back to keep it to be pregnant. ”

"Is there such a god?" Shen Luo didn't believe it, and answered a little perfunctorily.

"That's not ...... People say that the well is dripping with the jade dew in the treasure bottle in the hand of the mother-in-law. I heard that there was an old woman in her fifties in the city, who, after drinking the water from the well, was pregnant with a child. The farmer lowered his voice a little and said matter-of-factly.

Hearing this, Shen Luo shook his head and laughed at it.

His gaze turned slightly, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a carriage slowly passing in front of the crowd, and after lifting the sedan curtain in a corner, a slightly childish, but delicate and flawless girl's face was revealed.

Just a glimpse, the sedan curtain in the woman's hand had been lowered, and the carriage gradually moved away.

"Whose woman is this, she was born so fresh and delicate?" Shen Luo stayed a little in place, looking at the car driving in the distance, and his heart was still a little stunned.

It wasn't until the farmer urged him to give way that he came back to his senses, laughed at himself, and led the horse to the alley where the Shen Mansion was.

Hometown timidity, coupled with more than two years of practice on the Spring and Autumn Concept, Shen Luo has not been back home for more than three years, and when he really stood outside his door, looking at the courtyard of the house, there was a strange emotion in his heart.

At this moment, an old man in plain clothes on the side of the mansion gate walked out of the courtyard, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of Shen Luo standing outside the door, and seemed to feel that he was a little familiar, so he stopped and looked at the place for a moment.

Suddenly, the expression on the old man's face changed slightly, he staggered over, rubbed his old eyes, and asked tentatively:

"Eldest Prince, is that you?"

"Fauber, I'm back. Shen Luo took off the hat on his head and said with a smile.

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the reins in Shen Luo's hand, and shouted again and again: "But you are looking forward to the eldest prince, come back quickly, if the master knows, he must be happy......"

Listening to the words in Fu Bo's mouth, Shen Luo was not bored at all, but felt comfortable after a long time, which he absolutely couldn't feel when he was adrift.

Entering the courtyard gate, Fauber first had enough strength, then opened his mouth with missing front teeth, and shouted:

"The eldest prince is back......"

Then soon, the servants and maids who were sweeping all over the courtyard rushed to the front yard and saluted Shen Luo.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in his forties, wrapped in a sable coat, hurried over from the back hall, his head was full of gray hair, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but his eyes were full of excitement.

"The child has seen his father!" Shen Luo looked at the visitor, who seemed to be a little older than he remembered, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

"Luo'er......" Shen Yuange just called his name, his voice choked, looking at his cheeks that had lost too much weight, his eyes were full of pity, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Brother Luo is back......" At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind.

Shen Luo turned around and looked over there, and saw a beautiful woman rushing over with a pair of young men and women, it was Erniang and two half-siblings.

"Big brother. ”

Before she could reach the front, the girl shook off the woman's hand first, and ran in front of Shen Luo in small steps.

"I haven't seen you for three years, Mu Mu has grown a lot taller. Shen Luo stretched out his hand and gestured at the girl's head and said with a smile.

"Brother, why have you lost weight like this, have you suffered a lot outside?" Shen Mumu's clean little face suddenly wrinkled, and said with some concern.

"No, don't worry. Shen Luo rubbed her head and comforted.

"Big brother. At this time, his younger brother Shen Ci also came over and called out respectfully.

"Yes, I've grown up a lot, and I'm a bit like an older brother. Shen Luo reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said.

The young man was still a little afraid of his eldest brother, and even if he stood together, his eyes were consciously dodging.

"Don't all stand here talking, go, go back to the hall and sit down. Fauber, tell the kitchen to prepare a feast and make something sumptuous. The woman said, with a smile on her face.

"Erniang, don't need Zhang Luo, just get some home-cooked food, I have been away from home for a few years, I really miss it. Shen Luo smiled and said.

"Then how can I do it, I finally came back for a trip, I should have a good meal, and I will also accompany your father to drink......" The woman said this, and suddenly remembered that Shen Luo was weak and rarely touched wine since she was a child, and she stopped halfway through her words.

"It's time to have a few drinks with my father. Shen Luo smiled and said.

As they spoke, they returned to the hall and sat down around the round table.
