Chapter 67: Returning to His Hometown
It is now the season of light snow, the rainbow of the light snow day is not visible, and the weather on the fifth day is up and down, and the five days are closed into winter, which probably means that because there is no longer rain and the rainbow will not appear, the yang energy in the sky rises, and the yin energy in the earth falls, resulting in the heaven and earth are not connected, the yin and yang are not intertwined, everything loses its vitality, and the heaven and the earth are closed and turn into a cold winter.
Ma Zhufan and Chu Xixi sat in the carriage, accompanied by a team of soldiers on horseback in front of and behind, Ma Zhufan looked at the withered tree trunk outside the carriage, listened to the cold wind whistling in his ears, and his heart was also full of ripples, the convoy had left the general's mansion for more than three days, and it would be home in two days.
"Home" for Ma Zhufan, is warm, but also painful, more than two years have not been home, he misses his mother and father, thinks of his two sisters, thinks of his niece, in the dead of night dreams, he does not know how many times he has returned home, holding his mother's rough hand and talking about homework, he wonders if the second sister also has children, is a boy, is a girl, somehow, at this moment, his heart is so uneasy.
Chu Xixi stretched out his tender jade hand, grabbed Ma Zhufan's palm, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I will be at your house in two days, are you happy?" Ma Zhufan nodded after hearing this.
This year's snow seems to have advanced a lot, and with the biting cold wind, a little snowflake actually floated in the air, and the snowflakes fell silently on the roof of the carriage and melted silently.
Ma Zhufan's large number of men and horses went to wherever they went was the focus of discussion, and the convoy of the "prison guard Zhonglang General" was there a more powerful convoy in Guhuai Mansion now? When the convoy arrived in Huaihe County, even the county magistrate was waiting around the carriage.
The carriage traveled for another two days, Ma Zhufan looked at a familiar thatched house outside the car window, his eyes couldn't help but choke with tears, and he said in his heart: "Mother, the unfilial son is back." ”
The convoy stopped in front of the thatched house, and at this moment, many onlookers were talking about it, all of them were talking about the possibility that this might be hiding the black remnant party, which provoked the god of war to personally stop the convoy and clean up the remnant party.
Ma Zhufan's parents saw such a mighty and neat convoy, looking at the soldiers with weapons in their hands, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, Ma Zhufan's father lowered his head and begged for mercy: "Please God of War to see, we are just a peasant family of duty, and we will never hide robbers." ”
Ma Zhufan hurriedly ran out of the carriage after hearing the sound, he saw his parents kneeling on the ground, and he knelt in front of his parents regardless of the image, he knelt this time, bluffing all the soldiers and accompanying officials to kneel on the ground, and even the onlookers did not dare to stand, they all knelt on the ground.
Ma Zhufan trembled with his hands to lift the upper body of his mother and father with their heads down, a little snowflake fell on the father and mother's thin clothes, looking at the sunken eyes of his parents, Ma Zhufan's voice said with a cry: "Dad, mother, the child is back, let Dad, mother suffer." ”
Ma Zhufan's father and mother looked at the god of war of Guhuai Mansion who was kneeling in front of him wearing gorgeous armor and exuding majesty on his body, and actually called his father and mother, and they were all dumbfounded.
Ma Zhufan's mother-in-law gently touched Ma Zhufan's cheek with her rough palm, as if she couldn't believe everything in front of her, and the tears in her eyes unconsciously burst out of her eyes.
"Is it Zhu Fan? Is it the son that my mother cares about every day?"
Ma Zhufan's eyes were already red, and he said with tears in his eyes: "It's Zhu Fan, Zhu Fan misses his mother so much, father, mother, get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't catch a cold." ”
At noon, on a simple square table, Ma Zhufan's mother, his father, Chu Xixi, Long Batian, and Ma Zhufan were crowded on a table, and on the table was the home-cooked food made by Ma Zhufan's mother.
Ma Zhufan's father was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was just about to take out the wine, Ma Zhufan said: "Dad, you drink less, your body is important." ”
After hearing this, his father hurriedly put down the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, since the baby son has spoken, then the father will not drink it today." ”
Ma Zhufan's father looked at Chu Xixi and smiled: "The little girl is as beautiful as a fairy, isn't it a marriage match?"
Chu Xixi's face was flushed, and she said shyly: "Uncle has won the award, Xiaoxi is not married, and the little brother is the best in my heart." ”
Ma Zhufan's mother also quipped: "I don't know if it's my brother?"
After hearing this, Ma Zhufan felt that his head was full of black lines, and said: "Dad, mother, eat, Batian, Xiaopang, Xiaoxi, you can also taste my mother's craftsmanship, these dishes are my favorite food." ”
Ma Zhufan's father said proudly: "Little girl, I knew that he was a genius in cultivating immortals since we were children when Zhu Fan was a child, so I sent him to the Immortal Cultivation Sect when he was sixteen years old, and now we Zhu Fan not only cultivated, but also became a big official, and there must be a lot of money, and I will not worry about anything in my life in the future, haha......"
Ma Zhufan was still eating fish in his mouth at the moment, listening to his father's words, he coughed repeatedly, almost stuck the fish bone in his throat, his father hurriedly stood up, patted Ma Zhufan on the back, and said, "Zhufan, are you okay, do you want to call Lang Zhong to take a look." ”
Ma Zhufan always felt strange in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Dad, sit down, I'm fine." After speaking, he looked at Chu Xixi, Long Batian, and Wang Xiaopang a little embarrassed.
Ma Zhufan's mother-in-law said a little jokingly: "Zhufan was born to me, unlike someone who knows how to drink every day, and if you drink alcohol, you don't know the southeast and northwest." ”
After hearing this, his father smiled and said: "Madame is reasonable, in the future, Madam will let me go east, I will never dare to go west, besides, I also have merit for Shengzhufan." When his mother heard this, she almost squirted out her rice with laughter.
Ma Zhufan shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "Father, mother, after you finish eating, clean up the things at home, I will send someone to send you to the General's Mansion first, and I will pick up the eldest sister and the second sister." His father and mother nodded happily in agreement.
In the afternoon, Ma Zhufan's motorcade went to Ma Zhufan's eldest sister's house, and there was still a distance of ten zhang from Zhao Yuanwai's house, Ma Zhufan heard a noise, but listening to her eldest sister crying, mixed with the cry of a little girl, his brother-in-law said: "Crying and crying, every day I fucking know crying, crying and mourning?"
His eldest sister, Ma Zhubi, cried: "Please, don't gamble anymore." ”
His brother-in-law scolded: "Damn, last time Lao Tzu lost some money, borrowed five gold coins from your father to turn the book, that miser actually didn't lend it to me, Ma Zhubi, you are married by me for fifty gold coins as a bride price, what use do you say, give birth to a broken girl to me, and your younger brother who cultivates immortals doesn't know where he died now, your family is a poor ghost, a poor ghost." ”
After hearing this, Ma Zhubi shouted hysterically: "You dare to curse my brother to die, I have to fight with you today, I can't live this day." After that, he scuffled with his brother-in-law.
After Ma Zhufan listened outside, he was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, Chu Xixi's pretty face was also covered with frost, and he said to Long Batian: "Batian, you lead a pair of centaurs to go in and have a look at me." ”
