After the ice melted, the number of passers-by on the official road gradually increased. Most of them were refugees with their families, and when they heard the amnesty decree issued by the fairy court, they hurriedly returned to their hometowns to prepare for spring ploughing.

Hong Bo has to take the sweet girl to stand on the official road for a while every day.

He knew that his son and daughter-in-law had been slaughtered while fleeing, so he did not dare to ask the refugees who had returned to his hometown, for fear that he would hear bad news and make himself uncomfortable to death. At the same time, there was a hint of luck - maybe they escaped the murder that night?

Yes, he could only stretch his neck and look at the end of the official road, eagerly looking forward to it.

Half a month later, he really looked forward to a piece of good news: the two tenants in Zhuangzi came back together.

The two families lived in a foreign country for two years and endured a lot of hardships. This time, they each sold their youngest daughter to raise money to return home.

Their old houses were almost all gone. However, the two families couldn't take care of cleaning up. The first thing he did when he returned was that the men in charge of the two families went together to beg Humber, hoping to continue renting the original land.

They are all old neighbors who have lived together for more than ten years, and Hong Bo readily responded, and said: "In the past two years, it has not been easy for everyone. Moreover, there were wars, and the fields were deserted. Therefore, in the first half of this year, the rent was completely free. In the second half of the year, only half of the rent was collected. ”

The two tenants were overjoyed and thanked each other. They saw that Hong Bo's two sons were not at home, and there was only Brother Yun and a granddaughter by his side, and they roughly guessed what was going on. The two got together and discussed a few words quietly. The older one said, "Brother Hong, you didn't treat us as outsiders, and you wholeheartedly helped us. You see, we can't do anything else, but we have the strength to do it. In this way, you don't have to worry about this year's spring ploughing at home. The two of us stretched out our hands and planted them for you. Don't dislike what we're planting. ”

"How can you dislike it!" Hong Bo was overjoyed, and immediately promised to help his family farm and pack one meal a day.

The land that had been barren for nearly two years could finally be properly managed, and he suddenly seemed to be ten years younger, and said to the two tenant farmers with a smile, "It can't be compared with before the war. As before, your family sends a mother-in-law to cook, and the old rule of being full remains the same. ”

"Great!" the tenant farmers thanked him for a while, wishing Hongbo if they didn't want money, good people have good rewards.

Shen Yun watched from the sidelines, and sighed in his heart—is this the peaceful life that Hong Bo and the tenant farmers are looking forward to?

Perhaps the blessing of the two tenant farmers was full of sincerity, and five days later, another person came back from the village.

Tie, and Master Chen, they are back!

As if they had gone out, they had returned with a small convoy: three green pony carts and four sturdy oxen.

Hong Bo held a pair of arms on the leash and fainted on the spot.

"It's fine. Humb was just too happy. Shen Yun was on the side, and seeing this, he gave him a needle neatly.

After a while, Hong Bo woke up, hugged the leash and cried.

The tether was also like a child, crying into tears.

I haven't seen him for two years, and Master Chen has aged a lot, and his back is bent. He smiled enviously: "I am full of energy, and my in-laws are very tough." ”

After their father and son had cried, Master Chen picked up a thin teenager from the second car.

"Brother Song!" Hong Bo exclaimed, without waiting for the other party to speak, he took three steps and made two steps, and stepped forward to catch the person firmly.

"Grandpa!" Brother Song smiled weakly.

"I'll hug it. The tether took the man from the hands of the two old men.

Hong Bo came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, in-laws, please, go into the house." ”

So, the group squeezed into the house where Hong Bo and Tianniu lived.

Seeing a half-old puppet doll randomly placed on the small wooden table, Master Chen's eyes became extraordinarily bright. He picked it up and asked nervously, "In-laws, this is ......"

"It was Brother Yun who cut it for Sister Tian to play with. While arranging for Brother Song to be carried to the bed, Hong Bo replied, "Brother Yun is the same as Sister Yun and Sister Yun, there are several such wooden dolls." ”

"Sister Sweet is still alive!" Master Chen was so excited that he burst into tears, "Thank God!"

"Grandpa, what about Tiantian?" Song Ge'er couldn't help but grab one of Hong Bo's hands and ask.

"Oh, she's been wild for the past two years. At this time, I don't know where to go to play. When it's time for dinner, I'll be back. Hong Bo touched his head with concern, "Brother Song, are you hungry? ”

"Grandpa, not busy, we ate on the way. Brother Song heard that his sister was very good, and his face was full of joy. Seeing that my grandfather was very worried about himself, he explained, "Grandpa, my leg has been healed. Lang Zhong said that I can't work too hard now, so my grandfather asked me to take care of it and not to go to the ground. ”

"Good, good. "Humber was afraid that he would be too careful, so he endured it and didn't look at his legs. Hearing this, I went to look at his legs.

At this time, Master Chen wiped away his tears, walked in front of Hong Bo with an arrow step, lifted his front robe, and was about to kneel down.

"Oh, in-laws, what is this for?" Hong Bo hurriedly held the person with both hands.

Master Chen thanked with tears: "In the past two years, thanks to my in-laws, I have taken care of Sister Tian's ......."

Hong Bo waved his hand to interrupt him, pulled Shen Yun over, and said with a smile: "In-laws, you really have to thank Brother Yun." Last year, it was Brother Yun who brought Sister Tian back to Zhuangzi unscathed. In the past two years, thanks to Brother Yun'er, who went to the mountains every day to hunt and chop wood, he raised our grandfather and grandson. ”

"Brother Yun...... I'm sorry for you. Master Chen only felt that his old face couldn't hang up at all, "That night, we only cared about running for our lives......"

"Master Chen, don't say that. Shen Yun persuaded, "It's a great blessing that everyone can escape from under the butcher's knife of the Immortal Fu Soldier." ”

"Yes. It's all gone, and it's like a nightmare. Humber also persuaded on the side.

Old Man Chen wept and choked up: "How can it be so easy to pass? If it weren't for Brother Song'er by my side, that night, I would have escaped by luck, and I would have to find a random tree on the side of the road and hang myself with a rope." ”

When Brother Song heard this, he turned his face away and wept silently.

The tears of the tether also fell, and he choked up: "That night, sister, brother-in-law, they all ...... So my father-in-law and Brother Song escaped. ”

"Thanks to Brother Yun, Sister Tian is fine. Master Chen pulled the words back again.

"Yes, yes, yes, and Sister Sweet. Hong Bo wiped away his tears, opened his mouth, swallowed the words that came to his mouth again, and said, "The war disaster has passed, and in the future, life will be better and better." ”

He wanted to ask the pillar couple, but he was very scared.

When he saw it, he took the initiative to say, "Dad, my brother is also very good." Last month, my sister-in-law just gave birth to your first grandson, and she won't come back until she is confinement. ”

"Ahh

"Uncle Hong, congratulations!" Shen Yun was also happy for the pillar couple from the bottom of his heart.

"Oops...... Okay!" Hong Bo came back to his senses and suddenly realized that he was too happy in front of his in-laws, so he hurriedly pulled Mr. Chen to sit down in front of the small wooden table, and asked in a different way, "In-laws, how did you meet them?"

Master Chen is an old man, how can he not know his good intentions? Immediately put away his sad face and said with a smile: "After being robbed, I took Brother Song to escape to Yun County first, and then hired a carriage in Yun County, and went directly to Gu Nan City to join my sister-in-law. Brother Song broke his leg that night, and I kept asking Lang Zhong to treat his leg. The year before last, I went to the pharmacy to pick up medicine for Brother Song. Coincidentally, the tether was also grabbing medicine in this shop. And just like that, we came across. ”

Hong Bo nervously pulled up the leash: "You, what's wrong?"

Lianzi shook his head: "It's not me, it's the eldest brother." ”

"Huh?" Humber's face turned snow-white, "Pillar, what's wrong?"

"The previous sister-in-law is gone. The leash replied, "The eldest brother carried the eldest sister-in-law on his back, and an immortal talisman soldier slashed down at them with a knife. The previous sister-in-law was cut into two pieces on the spot, and the eldest brother's left arm was also cut off together. Everyone was terrified and rushed around. I followed behind, picked up my eldest brother in the chaos, and ran desperately out of the village. The Emperor of Heaven blessed, and I really escaped. ”

"After leaving the village, I still didn't dare to stop. Carrying the eldest brother along the official road, he continued to run forward. I don't know how long we ran, how far we ran, and we came across a caravan that was rushing to the night road. They saved us. They were originally going to Shixiu County, but after listening to my words, they immediately turned around and ran back. Originally, they only took two of us brothers to Yun County. ”

"Halfway down the road, one of their coachmen was sick. I offered to help. The steward saw that I was good at workmanship, and wanted to keep me. I knew that they were from the people of Gu Nan City, so I complied. I didn't ask for any salary, I just asked for food for my two brothers. The steward agreed. In this way, we followed the caravan to the city of Gunan. It was also luck, the first day I went to the pharmacy to pick up medicine, and I met Uncle Chen. ”

When Hong Bo heard that his eldest daughter-in-law had died miserably, he couldn't help crying, sighed, and asked, "Where is the new sister-in-law?"

Sure enough, the tether looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Humbor rolled his eyes, "What else can't you say about people who have been beaten from the side of death?"

Seeing this, Master Chen relieved the siege and said: "In-laws, I'm afraid that you will be unhappy when you hear it." The pillar is to be a son-in-law. ”

No, Hong Bo was just stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What should I be? It's good to be alive......"

"Grandpa, who is coming to our house?" Sweet Girl ran in from outside, sweating profusely, "I saw horses and cows!"

"It's Tiantian!" Brother Song immediately turned his head and looked eagerly at the door.

Master Chen stood up even more "poofly".

Shen Yun looked at the sky outside, quietly withdrew, and went to the kitchen to gather food.

Master Chen and the others brought back a lot of people: a steward and seven men.

At this moment, the two guys were already busy in the kitchen.

Seeing this, Shen Yun didn't bother them, and instead helped settle the horse team.
