Volume 1 The First Test Chapter 4 Tianxu, I'm home
The next day, the sky was bright, three teenagers knelt at the door of the village chief's house with three thorns on their backs, and a piece of log about two feet long was erected at the door of the carpenter shop diagonally opposite, as thick as a bucket, and it seemed to be poplar wood from the bark. From time to time, he looked up at the three teenagers, and if the teenager turned his head, he would see the angry face of Carpenter Zhao.
The three teenagers began to kneel straight, with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and they died generously, Li Jiacun is like this, if he makes a mistake, even if he has been forgiven by others, punishment is still necessary, this is what Li Jiacun cares about.
Carpenter Zhao admired in his heart, and many truths were not related to how much knowledge or status they had. Suddenly, an impulse was born, and this impulse moved me, I want to do something for this village, just for these people of Lijia Village who abide by the principles of death. Ten years of hypocrisy and hypocrisy suddenly dissipated, especially after yesterday's conversation with Chen Wenbo and the village chief, I, Zhao Siwu, admired Confucianism, and guarded Lijia Village under the order of the master.
With a casual swing of the axe, the bucket-thick giant log snapped.
Carpenter Zhao raised his feet and crossed the hurdle that had trapped him for more than ten years.
The young man's heart will not last long, Li Zude looked back, and happened to see the whole process of the axe falling off the giant wood, opening his mouth wide, his eyes were shocked and motionless, like a mud sculpture, when he saw Zhao Carpenter smiled mysteriously at him, he suddenly turned his head and raised his hand to cover his mouth, and the young man's heart was shocked.
Chen Wenbo and the village chief walked out of the courtyard gate, and when they saw the three teenagers like this, they couldn't help but smile: "The three of you send the incense burner back to your respective places, put it in front of the door and leave." ”
The three teenagers immediately agreed, and the young man named Zu De looked at Carpenter Zhao deeply, and when he saw Carpenter Zhao nodding at him, he was overjoyed and walked away, much faster than his companions Liu Huan and Zu Cheng, and the other two teenagers shouted "Zu De, slow down" while chasing away.
Seeing the teenagers leaving, Zhao carpenter grinned at the village chief and Chen Wenbo, as cute as the villagers of Lijia Village, difficult to distinguish from each other, and then raised the axe, a cold flame came out from the axe blade, in the eyes of the two, it was another axe swing, dripping freely, it seemed to split the ten years of depression with an axe, awe-inspiring righteousness rushed out of the sky, was splitting on the broken wood, bursting into the sky smoke and dust sawdust flying like a thunderbolt, until the dust settled, a bright brand new incense burner was impressive, its face was smooth and clean like a mirror, as if polished thousands of times, carved inside the simple pattern, in order to gather incense, carved seal text outside"Land Commander".
Carpenter Zhao picked up the incense burner, held it in front of the village chief, and said respectfully: "Villagers, Zhao four or five families, donate a land temple incense burner." ”
Both of them were shocked!
In the afternoon, the Li family ancestral hall, a moment, warm sun, shelter from the wind.
Several old people in the village, but there are more Chen Wenbo and Zhao Siwu.
After a few hours of collision, the Li family and the outsiders, the old and the young, on the road and those not on the road, reached a consensus.

Just ten years after Chen Wenbo left the capital.
In autumn and August, a large ordinary carriage drove out of the west gate of Hanyang City, the capital of the Great Chen Kingdom, two green mules, there were two large wooden boxes and some luggage above the carriage, and the driver was an old servant, dressed in old clothes, a man looked wilted, riding a horse and following him, and there were packages on the back of the horse. At first glance, it was a dilapidated family who couldn't get along in the capital, and they returned to their hometown. The gatekeeper gave a sympathetic look and did not check. The shops outside the city did not pay attention to it, and along the way, they met the young man who came to the capital to seek a future in the capital, and the young man with his eyes above the top was not only disdainful, but secretly warned himself: Only those who have achieved fame will be remembered, and do not get mixed up in such a field.
Emperor Chen Guo, Chen Jiarui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart: "Child, the luck of Confucianism for thousands of years is staked on you!"
The three horses and a cart, after traveling thousands of miles to the west, turned to the southeast, and two thousand miles, and I don't know when, the old slave was gone, the big car was replaced by a small car, turned to the northeast, and then traveled three thousand miles, a distance of several hundred miles walked six thousand miles, three months later, a man who was in the dust, drove a dilapidated carriage, drove into Yangqi Town, and stopped at the Yuelai Inn.
The man jumped out of the car, it was a thirty-year-old man, after a hundred days of travel, he had lost a lot of weight, but his body was more straight, and his spirit was more energetic, not like the embarrassment of being displaced, he lifted the door and helped a woman with ordinary appearance and simple clothes, holding a baby in her arms, and walked into the inn.
The shopkeeper asked for an ordinary room, settled down, and a man had already brought a meal, and the two of them had eaten.
The man said, "It's this town, damn it, we should get to the place." As he spoke, he took out a small mahogany box from his luggage, which was exquisitely made, and after opening it was a compass, adjusting the angle, he couldn't help but say happily: "It's not far from here." When he saw that the woman frowned, he was relieved and said, "That boy is more blessed than this one, and he suffers from running around at such a young age." ”
"Hey, it's not my own child after all. ”
"But don't, whoever made our mission is like this, raise this child, and the favor will be repaid. When we get here, we will have a few more children, and I will farm and spin yarn and live a stable life. ”
"I don't know whose child this is, forget it, it's pitiful, but the cause and effect of the father's generation falls on the child. ”
The next day, the carriage left the inn, traveled ten miles north along the post road, saw the name of Luoxia Village, and went straight without hesitation. The road in and out of Luoxia Village is not smoother and wider than before, and the four new bridges are tall and strong.
The man looked back at the baby in the woman's arms and laughed heartily: "Oh my God, we're home!"
