"The docks are crowded, and people come and go, but it's not where you little doll should come and play elsewhere. “

Lu Xuanxun found the Suojiang Wharf and wanted to find a small boat to return to Jiangtou Village, but he is not an old man now, others only say that he is a doll, and only because he looks cute and does not look like an ordinary child, so if he looks twice, he is the ferryman, and he will not ask him if he wants to take a boat.

I was looking for a place where the ferryboat docked, and I wanted to ask, but I was told a couple of words by an old boatman.

Although the tone is not very good, it is also with good intentions, and Lu Xuan is not easy to say.

I had no choice but to excuse myself: "Old man, I am from Jiangtou Village, I have lost my parents, and I can't find them, can you send me back to the village? I can afford the boat fare." ”

It's also a shame that at this time, teenage children can work, and there are a lot of prodigies, Lu Xuan's appearance of five or six years old, although he is a little young, but others don't seem to be too surprised by his speech and behavior, only Taoism is taught well at home, and he is a little wise.

"It turned out to be a doll from Jiangtou Village, no wonder, now Jiangtou Village is quite rich at this time, and it can teach smart children like you. ”

The old boatman glanced at Lu Xuan with a little surprise.

Hearing the old boatman's words, Lu Xuan also calculated in his heart, he had not returned to his hometown for many years, and he didn't know what the village was like now.

nodded secretly in his heart, and it was not in vain that he carefully arranged it back then.

"But since you are a person from Jiangtou Village, why don't you go to the boat of the Suojiang Chamber of Commerce? The Suojiang Chamber of Commerce has two boats back and forth between Jiangtou Village and Xunyang City every day, after all, the Chamber of Commerce is also from your village, but your lord didn't tell you?"

Suojiang Chamber of Commerce?

Lu Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this, how did he know what was going on with the Suojiang Chamber of Commerce?

However, listening to the words of the old boatman, it should have something to do with the village, maybe it is the chamber of commerce made by the people in the village, which is not surprising, the village is originally engaged in the fishing business, and the name of the village has his arrangement back then, and they have all practiced martial arts, and they have a bit of wealth, and they also have some background, so it is understandable to say that they have made a chamber of commerce.

So he didn't think much of it.

It's just that although this Suojiang Chamber of Commerce has boats coming and going, but his current appearance, the people in the village can't recognize him, how can he take the boat of the Suojiang Chamber of Commerce?

With a roll of his eyes, he said to the old boatman: "The boy has been separated from his parents for a long time, and they can't find me, so I'm afraid that I'm very worried. ”

Not to mention, he is like this now, it is still quite easy to ask for people, the old boatman heard this, hesitated slightly, Xu thought of the children at home, nodded helplessly and said: "Let's get on the boat, I will send you back." ”

Lu Xuan said respectfully when he heard this: "Thank you, old man." ”

The old boatman nodded slightly, and Lu Xuan's politeness made him quite satisfied.

There were no twists and turns, and Lu Xuanshun smoothly took the old boatman's boat and walked back to the village.

On the way, Lu Xuan also knocked on the side of some news about the changes in Xunyang, and some of the questions asked from the mouth of a child would not teach people to think too much, and the old boatman only thought that the child was curious, and almost all of them answered.

On the way, he said about Jiangtou Village, and the old boatman said: "I heard that there was an old fairy in your village in the early years, when the old father was still alive, and I was fortunate to have carried the old fairy once, but unfortunately now I have not heard the news of the old fairy, before my father passed away, I also talked about this matter, and I don't know if I can see the fairy side like my father in this life." ”

The old boatman didn't have any ideas, but the journey was boring, so he told Lu Xuan as an interesting story.

When Lu Xuan heard this, his heart moved, if there was no accident, the person carried by the old boatman's father should be him, but he didn't want to be like this, and it was really amazing that he returned to his hometown this time and still had such a fate.

But he didn't say anything more.

......

"Old man, a good man like you will definitely have a chance to meet the gods. ”

Not long after, the ship finally docked.

Lu Xuan left the fare, got off the boat, and turned back to thank the old boatman.

With that, he ran away briskly.

The old boatman looked at the small figure of Lu Xuan leaving, sighed slightly, seemed to be a little sentimental, and didn't know what he thought.

......

After not coming back for many years, Jiangtou Village has changed a little, with many facilities that were not available back then, and even the dock on the shore before, which was obviously built over the years.

Not to mention the village, it can be regarded as a small county town, the only difference is that there are no shops, and the people who come and go are just villagers.

Walking on the bluestone paved road, Lu Xuan felt quite novel, compared to the last time he came back, this time it really made him feel a little strange.

I thought that in today's troubled times, Nanliang is also recruiting troops everywhere, and Jiangtou Village will be more or less affected, but now it seems that there is none, which is also good news.

More than 20 years have passed, even if he is still the same as before, I am afraid that few people in the village will be able to recognize him, let alone the appearance of a boy now.

On the way, I met some villagers, but they didn't know where he came from, and thought that he was a child brought by relatives from a family in the village.

Compared to the chaos outside, the village is still very peaceful, so no one goes to talk to Lu Xuan, after all, there will be no danger in the village.

Lu Xuan didn't want to make trouble, let alone ask people for questioning at will.

According to the memory, I came to the place where I was located, and when I arrived at the place, I also saw the changes, and the fence courtyard in the early years has now changed its appearance, becoming a small courtyard, which is not how luxurious, but it is also a blue brick wall, gray tile roof, and the courtyard in Xunyang City seems to be between.

In fact, most of the small courtyards in the village are like this, which is not anything special.

There is no door plaque on the outside, if it weren't for the two breaths inside, which are quite familiar, Lu Xuan is not sure if his house is still here.

After a little hesitation, Lu Xuan still knocked on the door.

After a while, I saw an old man in his sixties and seventies open the courtyard door.

The old man had gray hair and looked quite old, his body was a little rickety, his movements were slow, and it took some time to open the door.

After the old man opened the door, he didn't notice Lu Xuan at first, but lowered his head, only to see him standing outside the courtyard gate.

"Where did the doll come from?

The old man asked with some doubts.

Lu Xuan didn't reply immediately, he looked at it for a while, and saw his familiar outline from the old man's face, before he sighed slightly and said, "Yun'er, you are so old." ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, he didn't react for a while, and after a while, he seemed to remember something, his cloudy eyes gradually widened, and his lips twitched for a while, and then he asked with a little trembling: "Is it uncle?"

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "The way I look now is because of the changes in my cultivation, which is a long story." ”

The old man is Zhou Yun, although he has never practiced, he has also practiced martial arts, and he has learned some cultivation-related things from Lu Xuan, and his knowledge is not small, in the end, he still knows the saying that cultivators are 'rejuvenated'.

But seeing the words and deeds of the boy in front of him, there is also a bit of familiar temperament, and his identity has been determined.

It's just a little uncomfortable for a while, but I don't know whether to see the courtesy or not.

Lu Xuan saw that his nephew was uncomfortable, shook his head slightly, and only said: "It's been a few years, but the family is okay?

Hearing this, Zhou Yun really came back to his senses, looked a little excited, and invited Lu Xuan into the courtyard.

......

"Uncle...... Uncle, the family is fine, although Xiaocui's body is not very convenient, but she is still healthy, and now she is knitting clothes in the house. ”

As he spoke, although there were still a few twists, he gradually got used to it.

"I'm going to call her out. ”

Lu Xuan hurriedly raised his hand: "No need, you and Xiaocui are not young anymore, it's still cold this day, just talk in the house." ”

When Zhou Yun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, but he didn't know what he thought.

"Xiaocui, who do you see coming back?"

Talking all the way, after a while, the nephew and uncle walked into the house, which was a little dim, and the fire was burning, and it was full of warmth.

An old woman with gray hair sat on a low stool, gathered around the fire, holding an unknown leather in her hand, sewing clothes.

Hearing Zhou Yun's voice, the old woman looked up and saw that her dim old eyes were squinting, as if she couldn't see clearly.

It took a while to see clearly that my wife brought a five or six-year-old boy recently, and the appearance was very good, but I don't know where it came from, listen to my wife's meaning, or an acquaintance?

"Old man, whose child is this?"

Hearing the old voice, Lu Xuan looked at the two juniors who looked very old, and his heart was mixed for a while.

"It's not a child from any family, it's my uncle who is back!"

Thanks to a lot of experience over the years, Zhou Yun has almost adapted to Lu Xuan's current appearance, and most of his heart is joyful except for a few complicated emotions.

"Uncle?"

Just like when Zhou Yun saw Lu Xuan, Xiao Cui couldn't react, she was an ordinary woman who took care of the work at home all her life, and she didn't have Zhou Yun's knowledge, and she couldn't think of going deeper.

......

If there was no specific understanding of Lu Xuan's fact that he was a cultivator back then, then Zhou Yun and his wife understood something this time.

Nothing is more impactful than rejuvenation.

The couple are busy, although they are no longer as good as they were when they were young, but they are still able to do their work, and they spent the afternoon making a meal.

Lu Xuan also ate it, although the cultivators only said that they had a valley, but in a realm like theirs, everything in the world is vitality, but it is just a matter of vulgarity and non-vulgarity, the length of refining time, it is not that it cannot be eaten.

After all, grains, flesh and blood, are not filthy.

And having said that, Lu Xuan hadn't eaten a meal at home like this for more than 20 years, and compared to that bit of refining kung fu, this kind of emotional realization was very rare.

"Uncle, but you've just come out of the customs?"

After finishing the meal and sitting around the fire, Zhou Yun asked.

Lu Xuan is not surprised, after returning to the mourning prison that year, he asked someone to bring the news.

"Yes, I was thinking of coming back earlier, but it was delayed. ”

Lu Xuan nodded, and asked instead, "By the way, Lian'er and the others are okay now, why aren't they at home?"

Calculate the age, Lian'er's three sisters and brothers are now middle-aged, and their children are not small, the three sisters and brothers are all filial piety, Zhou Yun and his wife are at this age, and I don't know how many years there are, as children, they should always take care of them at home, I don't know what they are doing, but they are not in the village.

Hearing Lu Xuan mention the three sisters and brothers, Zhou Yun had a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and only heard him say: "They all have their own family businesses, and they often come back to see me and Xiaocui, these two days are not the time, so uncle, you haven't been able to see them......"

Zhou Yun also roughly talked about the current situation of the three sisters and brothers.

Lian'er married Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi inherited Shi Niu's honest temperament, big things can't be done, but the victory is steadfast, the couple opened a shop in Xunyang City to buy an early shop, gave birth to three children, two boys and a girl, and now they are all grown up and live happily.

What surprised Lu Xuan a little was the two brothers Zhou Chun and Lu Qing.

Only then did he know that Zhou Chun actually married Huang Xiu's daughter and gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, and the leader of the Suojiang Chamber of Commerce turned out to be Zhou Chun, which was really a bit unexpected by him.

In addition, it is Lu Qing, Lu Qing is also married, he is not a local, he is a girl he met when he went out to study, and the couple have a son, now Lu Qing is teaching in Jiujiang Academy, and has made friends with many dignitaries, Jiangtou Village can have today's tranquility, and Lu Qing has a good relationship.

Hearing that the three sisters and brothers were having a good life, Lu Xuan also nodded from time to time.

For him, this is the best situation, his relatives are living happily, although the world is chaotic, but it has not been greatly affected by this, it can be said that it is already very rare, and he has no more luxury, God has treated him Lu family well.

"That's good. ”

Lu Xuan said hello a few times, and there was a bit of emotion in his words.

"Uncle, do you still want to leave this time?"

Zhou Yun was also very relieved to see that he was happy, but he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Lu Xuan paused slightly, shook his head, and nodded again: "This time I come back, I won't live at home for long, but I won't be like before for decades, I will probably go out for a walk and come back to see you." ”

The couple is not young, I don't know how many years there are left, Lu Xuan, as an elder, has to watch them finish this last part of the road.

When Zhou Yun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, at his age, his children and grandchildren were full, and he didn't pay so much attention to life and death, and the only thing he still remembered over the years was Lu Xuan.

He hoped that when he left, Lu Xuan would be able to watch at home like sending his mother Lu Ying away, and it would be considered a success.

When he arrived at Jiuquan and saw his mother, he could also explain Uncle Bai's current situation.

My mother is most worried about my uncle, and if she can do this, she will be comfortable when she thinks about it.

"If my uncle is not in a hurry, let me stay at home for a while longer, and I will send a letter to their sisters and brothers, so that you can see what they are like now, and discipline them. ”

Zhou Yundao.

Lu Xuan nodded: "It's okay." ”
