Chapter 119: Returning Home
Leaving Linwu City, in less than half a day, Xiaotian arrived at Longlai Mountain.
I was about to be able to see my family, and Xiao Tian was a little excited. It's been almost nine years since I left home, and I wonder if my family's appearance has changed? Can they still recognize themselves?
Flying to the sky above the Kangjia River in his hometown, he saw from a distance that there was a big mansion where his home was originally located, three in and three out, very magnificent.
The letter from the family had already said that my father had bought a lot of land in his hometown and rebuilt the house, and originally wanted to expand it into a four-entry mansion, but unfortunately my father and younger brother did not win the promotion, so they gave up first.
Anyway, everyone in the family knew that they had gone to cultivate immortals, and they probably told the people in the village, Xiaotian felt that there was nothing to hide, so he descended directly in the courtyard in front of the main house.
There were just a few people in the courtyard cleaning the courtyard, and when they saw Xiaotian falling from the sky, they stood in place in shock, unable to move.
Xiao Tian looked at it, but there was no familiar face, so he ignored them and walked straight to the main room. I don't know if my father lives in the main house, or my grandfather lives, according to the etiquette law, it should still be my grandfather's residence, right?
The door of the main hall was wide open, and before Xiao Tian went in, he saw an old man sitting on the Taishi chair facing the door drinking tea, it was his grandfather. My grandfather's appearance hadn't changed much, but he was getting older, and his hair was almost white.
"Grandfather, grandson is back!" Xiao Tian shouted outside the door.
But the grandfather looked at the door for a long time and didn't reply, his eyes widened, and he didn't seem to recognize Xiaotian.
"Grandfather doesn't think he knows me anymore, I came back from Jingao Mountain to see you. Xiaotian walked into the door and gave a salute.
"Are you Xiaotian?" Grandfather finally remembered after listening to what Xiaotian said. "I haven't been back for years, it's been almost ten years. ”
"Hahaha, it shouldn't be nine years ago. Is my father there?" Xiao Tian was a little unaccustomed to communicating with his family, so he had to ask his father and the others first.
"Your father and mother have moved to the city, and now it's just me and your grandmother at home. You stay a few more days and I'll have people call them back. Grandfather said.
"Why did you move to the city? Didn't my father miss the lift?" asked Xiao Tian suspiciously.
"He put some money in the academy where he used to teach, so that your brother could study there, and he bought some property in the city, and he lived there and never returned. Your uncle and two aunts have also lived in the city, and I don't want to go there, I don't know anyone, so I stay here to deal with the poor relatives at home. "My grandfather gave me an overview of the family.
"I see, I'm just coming back by the way, I can't stay for a long time, so I'll just stay here for one night, and I'll have a chance to meet them again later. Xiaotian was a little disappointed, but the road to cultivating immortals is long, and he can't always take care of the affairs of his hometown.
That night, my grandfather specially called some famous people in the township to come, which was regarded as a pick-up for Xiao Tian, but he only felt troublesome, and these people were also suspicious of Xiao Tian's identity as an immortal master. The banquet at night was much better than what Xiao Tian ate when he was a child, but it was much worse than what Xiao Tian ate in the Yuanxu Sect, and the gap between the living standards of mortals and monks was really big.
After sending those people away, Xiao Tian chatted with his grandfather and grandmother for a while. When it comes to starting a family, I once said in a letter before that Yang Wenmeng is a young lady with status, the daughter of a big restaurant shopkeeper, of course, her grandparents are very satisfied, but they always ask about their children.
"Xiaotian, your brother has recently been married, how are you now?" asked Grandmother with concern.
"I took another concubine, named Wei Fengjue, the daughter of the master of Lingyanmen in Zhangzhou. Xiao Tian said with some pride, Wei Fengjue's background is also very high in the secular world, and his grandfather and grandmother should not object to anything.
"The daughter of the master of the door is willing to be your concubine?" the grandfather was a little incredulous.
"The status of a monk is actually not low, and if a mortal wants to marry me, he can only be a concubine. Yang Wenmeng, I said before, is actually a concubine, I want to marry her as a wife, but her father is still unwilling, for fear of attracting jealousy. And I helped Lingyanmen a lot, so the Lingyanmen master... Speaking of which, his daughter was actually forced into me, I forgot about it!" Xiao Tian said as he spoke, suddenly a little annoyed, although he was now clear that he liked Wei Fengjue, but at that time, Wei Maoyan's Tao still made him angry.
Grandparents looked at him and smiled silently, obviously not believing it, but their grandson's boasting didn't need to be punctured.
"Your father also considered taking a concubine, and your mother vetoed it. All the money you sent back was delivered to your mother, and your father never spoke of it again. Your aunt is more than your mother, and she didn't let your uncle take a concubine. I didn't expect you to take a concubine first, haha. Grandmother said with a smile.
"My father is not too young, so don't think about those things, isn't there still three dogs in the family? Xiao Tian couldn't accept this, he still felt that his father should only have one wife.
"Your two younger sisters are also married, and the other party is the son of a scholarly family. Grandfather talked about Xiaotian's sister again.
"Well, my grandfather and father still have to take care of the affairs of the family, and the Jingao Mountain is too far away, and I may not be able to come back a few times in the future. Xiaotian thinks that his sisters seem to be marrying well, but it's not something he can manage, just have a father in charge.
In terms of cultivation, Xiao Tian only said a little casually, and they couldn't understand it if he said too much. Master's matter has been said in the previous letter, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again, so as not to make Xiaotian sad.
Early the next morning, Xiaotian said goodbye and left, but his grandfather and grandmother were relieved. When Xiao Tian left, he left behind three or four thousand taels of silver, almost half of what he had sent back before. Originally, the money was enough for the family to use for decades, and now there should be no more dissatisfaction.
After flying into the air, Xiao Tian suddenly remembered something and flew towards the mountains south of the village. He wants to go to see the Kangwang shop where he met the master back then, and since he came back once, he can't let go of it if he doesn't go to see it.
I used to have to walk all morning, but now I don't even need time for a stick of incense, so Xiaotian flew to Kangwangdian.
This broken cottage seems to be more barren than before, just in case, Xiao Tian used his divine sense to investigate here, but don't have people like the evil cultivators back then.
Thinking of the first time he met the master, the first time he saw an immortal cultivator, Xiao Tian felt a lot. If he hadn't come here to hunt for treasures, he wouldn't have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, nor would he have met Wen Meng, nor would he have met his junior sister. I don't know if I will always be a poor boy in the countryside, and in the end, I won't be able to win fame, and my family will always be poor.
Thinking about it this way, I really found a treasure here back then.
