The weather turned cooler, and the grass and trees on the mountain gradually turned yellow, and finally fell to the ground. The whole mountain seems to have removed the pink woman's face, and lost the brightness and beauty of the past.

In the past few days, I have watched the moon in the sky become more and more round, and some emotions in my heart have also been affected and gradually amplified.

On the evening of August 15, You Li and her mother were busy for a long time, preparing melons and fruits, moon cakes, and incense burners, and placing them on the stone table in the front yard.

Helped his father out of the house and came to the courtyard, where the family worshiped the moon god, and then sat in the atrium to eat melon seeds and admire the moon.

The cloudless night sky is a silent crow blue. When the full moon is in the sky, it is lined behind the apricot branches, and it does not add a bit of quiet beauty.

When this family is reunited, the family of three is happy, drinking apricot wine, giving each other apricot blossoms, and then hairpins on the head, smiling and greeting each other.

After that, he took out the letterhead that had been prepared long ago, wrote some greetings on it, and then folded it into a paper crane, attached it to the transmission note, and sent it out one by one.

Send Fang Huaiyuan: "Toast to the moon tonight, sprinkle Qinghui as an invitation." ”

Send Fang Lide: "This night is not good in this life, where will the bright moon be next year?"

Sent to Zhai Biqing, who temporarily returned to Anxi Prefecture: "After all, Toad Palace Qili is cold, and it is not as good as calling friends in the world. ”

In addition, Lou Chenghuang, Yongyi Gong, Lame Daoren, Mingde Daochang, etc., all sent blessings one by one.

Lin Qin and You Mingda were on the side, helping to grind the ink and dry it, and they were very busy.

Finally relaxed, Lin Qin finished distributing the moon cakes, and suddenly sighed:

"It's a pity that Daoist Xuanyu is not here, and I don't know if he can rush back for the New Year. ”

Master Xuan Yuzi did not tell his parents about the retreat, so Lin Qin felt this way.

Free Mi took a sip of green apricot wine and said with a smile:

"Master said that he used to be an idle cloud and wild crane, with no relatives and no companions, so he made the world his home. Now that we have the Finger Mystery Concept, we also have a home. People who have families walk thousands of miles to get home in the end. ”

After eating the moon cakes, You Mingda sighed: "Our family has grown up and can already say such philosophical words. ”

Lin Qin glanced at him, and there was an unstoppable smile in his eyes:

"That's right! Our family is Xiaoli, and in the future he will definitely become a person who is admired by thousands of people for attaining high meritorious service, and those who want to listen to his sermons can line up to Anhua Town at the foot of the mountain. ”

You Li really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he said helplessly: "Dad, mother, you two drank too much." ”

You Mingda laughed heartily and drank a large glass.

The three of them admired the full moon for a while, and they all seemed to deliberately avoid the topic.

The full moon is not yet full, how can the heart of longing be broken?

After a while, You Li said softly: "I plan to go down the mountain again in two days and go to Anxi Prefecture to have a look." ”

After a moment of silence, You Mingda said slowly: "When I recover from my injury, let's go together?"

You Li persuaded: "Your injuries need to be recuperated and recuperated for a long time, and you should not move more during this period." Besides, if we both go out, who will take care of my mother?"

Lin Qin hurriedly said: "I can take care of myself alone, not to mention that even if Xiaoqing follows you, I still have Xiaoice." ”

Wandering shook his head firmly:

"I'm just going to explore the way this time, and I'm going to go back as soon as possible, ready to see what is going on there before the snow season arrives. As you know, the next Anxi Prefecture is becoming more and more undercurrent, and until the situation between the two countries is truly clear, I don't worry about letting your two elders travel far away - even if I follow. ”

The second elder was silent for a long time, and You Mingda said slowly: "Then it's hard for you." ”

You Li smiled and said:

"Dad, the family doesn't talk to each other. Your second elder has raised me for many years, and I should have repaid you for your kindness. What's more, Brother Dashan is out, he used to be looking for a needle in a haystack, there was no way, that's it, now that I have eyebrows, even if I am really hard, I am also a tiger and a tiger on my legs when I walk, and a thief has a head. ”

The second elder was amused by his words, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted about some homely things. Speaking of how you were sensible when she was a child, how she was a ghost, and how she made up for the pain and shortcomings of the second old man after losing his son, Lin Qin couldn't help crying.

The father and son comforted for a while before Lin Qin stopped her tears and burst into laughter.

As soon as the hour passed, there were more cirrus clouds in the sky, and the moon disappeared into the clouds.

The three of them cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest.

You Li and her parents live in the east wing of the middle courtyard, only separated by a wall. He sat cross-legged on the bed and did not practice routinely, because after entering the foundation building period, his five senses and five senses had also improved significantly. Although his parents tried their best to keep their voices down and whispered some bedtime whispers, he still listened to them word for word.

Lin Qin asked cautiously: "Master, do you feel that Xiao Li's mood today is a little wrong? Why do I think he seems to know something, does he know that he is not our biological one?"

You Mingda said: "Ahem...... What are you thinking? Children just want to repay us, don't be suspicious. ”

Lin Qin said quietly:

"This kid has been sensible since he was a child, and we have brought him up, so why doesn't he have a trace of guilt in his heart, thinking that he has 'robbed' away the love that should belong to the mountain? ”

As he spoke, Lin Qin's voice turned into a sobbing voice:

"The more sensible this kid is, the more distressing it is. You said that such a good child, why was his father willing to abandon it in the first place?"

You Li continued to listen, only to hear the intermittent sound of rustling from next door, thinking that You Mingda was patting his wife's back.

You Mingda comforted gently:

"You like to think nonsense. He is now our son, and although he has lived a hard life with us, I believe that he can feel our wholehearted love. What's more, I think his biological parents must have something unspeakable, otherwise why would they leave their children in this barren land?"

Lin Qin said in a trembling voice: "You said, the world is big, and such a big burden of finding a mountain falls on his shoulders alone, but he is only eight and a half years old!"

You Mingda said softly: "You are just worrying. Even Daoist Xuanyu said that this child was precocious and precocious, and he must be an extraordinary person. Don't forget, he has already cultivated immortals and entered the Dao, and his ability is great. ”

After the child, the tired second elder had fallen into a deep sleep. Listen to the dripping sound in the room, and then everything else.

His father had told him about his life almost two years ago. At that time, my father was worried that my mother would be cranky, so he made an appointment with him not to tell my mother that he already knew about his background.

Unexpectedly, my mother's intuition was really keen, and she had already noticed a hint of clues. You understand that although you don't care on the surface, you still want to know in your heart who your biological parents are and why they abandoned themselves?

At this moment, the wandering mind moved, and the jade pen flew out of the heart.

"Master, there is something your father still hides from you. I was actually wrapped in the same swaddling clothes with my master. However, it is not that your father intended to do this, but that your master asked for it. ”

Hearing this, he wondered, "When did it happen?"

The jade pen told You Mingda that day that he quietly found Xuan Yuzi and handed over the jade pen to him.

"At that time, although I was still in a state of deafness, I was still able to receive some information from the outside world. It was only after the blood was dripping that he confessed to the Lord that he completely regained consciousness. It wasn't long before their conversation took place, so I remember both. I hadn't taken it to heart before, but as soon as I heard your father's conversation, I felt the need to tell you. ”

You Li pondered for a moment and muttered:

"I see. I'll just say Master, where did you find such a good talisman in such a short time, it turns out that you are the legacy of my biological parents?"

However, why didn't Master let You Mingda say it?

"Does Master know something?"

Thinking of this, the heart that was originally quite calm suddenly pounded. If that's the case, then your life experience is not only a little confusing, but also seems to be very unusual?

This night, I couldn't sleep.

Two days later, Lin Qin packed up for his son, and sent him to the gate of the mountain, just like the last time he went down the mountain.

You Li bowed deeply to the second elder, turned around and walked forward.

After walking a distance, You Mingda suddenly shouted:

"Son, the poem you recited last time you went down the mountain was good, can you do it again?"

He turned around, waved his hand vigorously, turned around again, and chanted aloud:

"The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return to the ...... later"
