"Excuse me, uncle, do you know Lin Kaishan's family?"

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, an old man in a Confucian shirt sat alone on a stone, his face was thin and bookish.

"Lin Kaishan......?"

The old man held his long beard in his hand, raised his cloudy eyes, and looked at the comer.

Seeing that the strange young man was in shabby clothes, but his eyebrows were clear, he pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I heard that Lin Kaiqu has a big brother named Lin Kaishan, but Lin Kaishan has died a long time ago, you can go to Lin Kaiqu's house to ask, just in the west of the village, the bluestone courtyard wall is there." ”

The old man's voice was slightly hoarse, and his tone was very light, with a slight hint of trill, as if he was saying something that had happened for a long time.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Lin Yi leaned over and thanked him.

Watching the young man's thin but upright back leave, the old man whispered to himself, is there still a descendant in this Lin Kaishan?

......

A low wall of earth and stone courtyards encloses three adobe houses. On the east side of the courtyard there is a small side room, which should be a stove room, and the chimney on the roof is emitting smoke. On the west side of the courtyard, under a big tree, there is a stone table made of stone pieces and a few wooden low benches.

The courtyard was quiet.

Lin Yi stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked inward.

"Who are you looking for?"

A teenage girl, dressed in floral clothes with patches on them, walked out of the stove room with a few bowls in her hands. The bridge of her white face and nose was straight, and her eyes were black and white, looking at Lin Yi curiously.

"I ......," Lin Yi didn't know how to speak. He looked away from the little girl and looked back.

A man of medium stature in his thirties walked out of the house, dressed in old blue-gray coarse cloth clothes, with thick hands and feet, short beards, and a somewhat dark complexion, and the appearance of an honest man in the countryside. Seeing someone coming, he was stunned, grinned, bowed slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Who is the little brother looking for?"

Lin Yi's throat was a little choked, and his mouth was dry. He stared at the middle-aged man and said sentence by sentence: "My father Lin Kaishan! ”

The middle-aged man's smile condensed on his face, his mouth was half-open, and his chest rose and fell sharply.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Yi, his mouth opened and opened, and he hurriedly walked a few steps closer to the courtyard gate, his eyes widened, and he carefully looked the visitor up and down.

After a while, the man turned his head sharply and shouted roughly: "Cui'er, her mother——!"

"Coming, coming!" came a woman from the kitchen, dressed in cloth and neat. She took a few steps, her eyes full of suspicion, and her big eyes resembled the girl.

"Cui'er and her father, this is ——?"

"Remember what I said, my eldest brother still had a one-year-old child in his early years? Cui'er and her mother, look at this ——!" The middle-aged man was a little incoherent.

"Could it be ——?" The woman lowered her head and muttered for a moment, then looked up and down at Lin Yi.

The latter still stood quietly outside the courtyard.

"I've also seen the eldest brother, this young man's eyebrows are somewhat similar to the eldest brother. Oh, my God...... Isn't it ......?" exclaimed the woman with her hand.

"Oh!

The man slapped his thigh, walked through the courtyard gate in two steps, grabbed Lin Yi, his eyes were red, and said excitedly: "I am Lin Kaiqu, Lin Kaishan is my eldest brother, my eldest brother and sister-in-law died in their early years, only my eldest nephew did not know what to do, I heard that he was rescued by a person, child, are you Lin Yi?"

After the man finished speaking, his expression was a little uncontrollable, and he held Lin Yi's hand and trembled.

Lin Yi exhaled deeply, took a step back, and bent down deeply.

"Nephew Lin Yi, I've seen my uncle!, I've seen my aunt!"

The man hurriedly replied, and the woman also shed tears, she hurriedly wiped it with her cuffs, with a smile on her face, and hurriedly greeted: "Nephew, come in! Cui'er! Let my brother enter the house." ”

The girl named Cui'er responded crisply, happily put the bowl on the stone table, and ran to Lin Yi.

She tugged at Lin Yi's sleeve, and said with a little face full of joy: "Brother, go home, come in!"

It's ...... home!

Lin Yi's nose was sore, and his eyes were hot.

"This is your sister Cui'er, hehe! It's home, Xiaoyi come in quickly!" the man laughed, his eyes full of emotion and pity.

This man is Lin Yi's uncle. The woman's surname is Zhang, and she is Lin Yi's aunt. The girl's name is Tyl, 12 years old, and she is the couple's only daughter.

......

The family sat at a stone table under a large tree and ate dinner.

Lin Yi ate silently.

The meals were simple, but he ate them very sweetly.

Cui'er happily added food to her brother.

Lin Kaiqu and his wife looked at their nephew with joy while eating.

They couldn't have imagined that the eldest brother's children would come to the door many years later. Seeing that the nephew's clothes were shabby, but his eyebrows were high, and his words and deeds had the calm appearance of adults, the couple felt very relieved.

There was a brother suddenly added to the family, although I didn't know what it was, but Cui'er was still very happy. The gentle smile of this brother made her feel close.

Cui'er kept adding food and vegetables on the side, and then a pair of good-looking big eyes showed joy and joy, staring at Lin Yi non-stop.

Lin Yi was also in a dream, feeling the affection between his uncle and aunt, and feeling their fiery gaze. He ate silently, experiencing this sincere but strange family affection.

In this world, the only relative is the Master. The master was gone, and Lin Yi felt lonely.

In the dark, this place that Master said often affects him.

He did not hesitate, nor did he think about it, and after three years of filial piety for his master, he followed the call in his dream. I found my true relatives in this world.

The aunt said that he was somewhat similar in appearance to his parents, but there was no way to know what his parents looked like, and Lin Yi never thought about how to confirm that he was the descendant of the Lin family. And Lin Kaiqu and his wife did not suspect the origin of the other party, and after a moment of consternation, they happily accepted this nephew.

This is so natural for Lin Yi and Lin Kaiqu.

In addition to the inseparable blood love, maybe they are all poor and poor people, they believe in the existence of family affection in this world, and believe in the preciousness of family affection!

......

After dinner, the family entered the hall.

An oil lamp lights up the warmth of the room.

Facing the concerned eyes of his uncle's family, Lin Yi roughly talked about his experience over the past ten years. In fact, there is nothing to say, even the days with the master are mostly spent in the mountains. In his opinion, those are ordinary things, but for his uncle's family, they are different and rare.

"Little martial arts, tsk! It's not easy!" Lin Kaiqu heard that Lin Yi followed his master to practice martial arts, and he was full of praise.

Poor scholars and rich martial arts, who in poor families have spare money to practice martial arts! Martial arts are only available to rich families.

"Some Taoist superficial kung fu is not worth mentioning!" Lin Yi shook his head and said humbly.

"Brother, are you a Taoist priest now?" asked Cui'er curiously. Lin Yi smiled, not knowing how to answer.

"Your brother is no longer a Taoist priest, he will marry a wife and have children in the future, and live a good life!" Lin Kaiqu said loudly, and looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

It's always a pity that he doesn't have a son, but now that he sees his nephew, Lin Kaiqu thinks that this is God's eye-opening, and the Lin family finally has a successor.

Cui'er's eyes were already smiling into crescent moons, and she looked at Lin Yi with a grin. As if this brother couldn't see enough.

Lin Yi's expression revealed a hint of embarrassment, and he only smiled and did not speak.

"Cui'er, her father, the ancestors blessed, let the little nephew come back safely. Now that Xiao Yi is sixteen, he should find an honest family and say a daughter-in-law who is satisfactory and can live a good life!" Zhang replied on the side, Lin Kaiqu also nodded, and agreed with him.

"There are still two or three acres of mountainous land between the eldest brother and my family, and my family of four can barely survive, but the original eldest brother's house has been in disrepair for more than ten years, and it is unbearable to move ......in," Zhang finished speaking, and his face flashed with a little anxiety.

"It's okay, Cui'er and us are in the same room, and the little one will live in the West House!" Lin Kaiqu still said softly.

"Okay, brother, let's live in the Westinghouse. I'll help my brother clean up!" Cui'er jumped up.

"Girl, slow!"

Lin Yi was still silently feeling everything that had never been before. Seeing this, he came back to his senses, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Cui'er, and asked softly:

"Uncle, auntie, can I go and see......?"

"Let's see tomorrow! it's getting late......" Lin Kaiqu glared at Zhang with some reproach.

Lin Yi got up slowly and said, "I hope that Uncle will be considerate of Xiao Yi's heart!"
