Chapter 4 To each his own home
The three children were laughing and playing at the foot of the mountain, and when they saw that it was ten o'clock at noon, their stomachs were full of hunger, Li Hongji and Li Guo said goodbye to Gao Jie, and went down the mountain to go home for lunch.
On the way home, Gao Jie walked on the mountain path, carrying a hare and pheasant, breathing in the fresh air, silently thinking about his thoughts.
What should he do in the future? How can he survive in this troubled world? Do you survive or change? Do you want to, or can you use the advantages from the future to change the course of history......
There were too many questions, turning over and over in Gao Jie's head, which made him think about it with a headache.
Because of the memory of this body, it was not long before Gao Jie arrived at his doorstep.
Gao Jie's home, located on the mountainside of Xia Donkey Mountain, is a "two-bedroom and one-hall" cave, and the area is large enough. Because I have lived there for a long time, and my family is really not well-off, the doors and windows look a little dilapidated. In front of the cave is a ten-square-meter earthen lawn, surrounded by a simple yard surrounded by a fence made of branches and shrubs. On the left side of the yard is a small piece of vegetable soil, where some vegetables are grown, and on the right is an open field, with bamboo poles and some washed clothes. In the corner of the earthen wall next to the cave, a chicken coop and a dog kennel were built with stones.
The hunting dog is black-haired, and he was taken up the mountain to hunt by his father Gao Ting.
At this time, in the yard, there was a middle-aged woman in her thirties wearing a blue shirt, holding a dustpan, feeding two chickens.
In his previous life, Gao Jie's father left because of his wife's betrayal and burned everything about the woman, including photos, and his grandparents never mentioned the daughter-in-law, so Gao Jie had no impression of his biological mother, and it was completely blank.
Since elementary school, he has been withdrawn, does not like to socialize with classmates, and is especially repulsive to women, which is why he has never talked about his girlfriend until he is in his forties.
And now, looking at the middle-aged woman who was familiar and unfamiliar in his memory, Gao Jie stopped and began to be at a loss.
He returned home on instinct, but he didn't have the courage to enter the door, let alone shout the word "mother", which was extremely unfamiliar to him.
It can be said that Gao Jie is "close to his mother's love".
When Gao Jie was stunned and entangled, his mother Gao inadvertently looked up and saw him, and joy instantly filled her delicate face, she raised her hand and shouted: "Jie'er!
With this call, a warm current instantly surged into Gao Jie's heart, the ice in his heart shattered and melted, and a huge sense of happiness filled his body.
"Mother!" involuntarily, Gao Jie blurted out this word that was jerky to the old Gao Jie but familiar to the little Gao Jie.
At this moment, he can't help it, and his soul is dominated by Xiao Gaojie.
Throwing away the game and the iron fork bow and arrows, Gao Jie rushed into the courtyard and threw himself into Gao's arms.
Unconsciously, tears flowed down his cheeks.
Gao hugged Gao Jie lovingly, raised his hand and stroked his son's hair.
Fifteen-year-old Gao Jie is already taller than his mother, probably because of his parents' good genes, he has a handsome face, a dignified appearance, and a very handsome guy.
Gao is very satisfied with Gao Jie, her son is not only tall and handsome, but also very sensible and capable, although the family life is hard, but she feels sincerely happy.
When Gao's hand brushed his son's cheek, he suddenly found that he was crying, and his heart immediately became nervous, and he quickly asked, "Jie'er, what's wrong with you?
As his emotions were vented, Gao Jie also calmed down at this time, and the two souls slowly tended to be balanced. He was a little embarrassed, broke free from Gao's embrace, lowered his head to wipe away his tears, and said casually: "No, I, I just miss my mother!"
When Gao heard her son's answer, her heart was as sweet as honey, she knocked on Gao Jie's head with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's so old, it's still like a child!
Gao Jie agreed, didn't dare to look at his mother's eyes, and ran into the house quickly.
Gao looked at his son's back, smiled contentedly, and then went to collect the game and bows and arrows that Gao Jie had left behind.
After Gao Jie entered the house, he rinsed his hot face with water in the prepared basin, calming down his inexplicable excitement.
At this time, he no longer had the slightest complaint about this crossing, he did not hesitate to like this home, this home with his mother's love, and also liked this village, this village with friends, because he felt no longer lonely.
He doesn't want to spend his life alone anymore, the feeling of being loved is so beautiful, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to give up.
Gao Jie finally made up his mind, for the sake of his current family and friends, he will forget the original Gao Jie and truly integrate into this time and space, this history, this village, and this home.
No matter what he changes history, no matter what he breaks out of the world, those are no longer important, the important thing is that he will live well, protect his family and friends, and do his best to prove his existence!
After figuring out these links, Gao Jie's restless mood completely relaxed, and a familiar melody echoed in his mind, well, it was Wang Feng's popular "Existence":
"Who knows where we're going, who knows what life has become, whether to find an excuse to keep living, or to spread our wings and stay angry! Who knows where we should dream? Who knows what dignity has been reduced to? Do we find a reason to go with the flow? Or go ahead and break free from the cage! How can I exist!"
Gao Jie, it's starting to take root here!
In the Ming Dynasty, the folk martial arts, the fat man Li Hongji began to practice martial arts under the guidance of his father Li Shouzhong since he was a child, but his head was a little stupid, his memory was very bad, he forgot to learn, and the progress of martial arts cultivation was extremely slow. In addition, he is cowardly by nature, and he is always bullied by those naughty children in the same village, and he doesn't dare to fight back.
And Li Guo, don't look at him thin and small, but he is much fatter than the fat uncle, when someone bullies their uncle and nephew, whether he can beat or not, he fights to the death, he is very brave, and often gets injured.
When Gao Jie was six years old, he happened to meet them being bullied by four or five children, and he had the idea of fighting up, so he rushed to help.
Li Hongji's uncle and nephew didn't like to read, they were good at dancing and playing with guns, and since then, they often skipped class from the private school in the village together, found Gao Jie to hang out together, and later accompanied him to the mountains to hunt from time to time.
Gao Jie feels that there is no problem with the character of the two of them, and he will be a good brother he can trust in the future, so he should think of ways to help them and make them strong.
Li Hongji's brain is clumsy, Li Guo is careless and reckless, these weaknesses Gao Jie seems to have a way to help them overcome and improve.
Because, he has a nameless exercise taught by the mysterious old man in his previous life, although that exercise seems to be incomplete, and he has not fully comprehended it, but at least it can make Li Hongji enhance his memory and let Li Guo calm down!
"I'm slowly trying to figure out how to teach them this exercise, and at the same time, it's time for me to cultivate well, I've been abandoned for a long time!" Gao Jie made up his mind while having lunch with his mother.
Over there, Li Hongji and Li Guo also returned to their homes.
Li Hongji's mother died early, and his father's name was Li Shouzhong, who turned out to be a member of the famous Li family in Li Jiqianzhai, fifty miles away, and I don't know why, when Li Hongji was two years old, he moved to Changliang Bay to settle down. Their family had some money, bought some land, and opened a ceramic kiln, and became the richest man in the village by collecting rent and selling porcelain. Li Shouzhong is also a good person, kind to others, and has a high prestige in the village.
Li Shouzhong originally had two sons, and Li Hongji and his eldest brother were more than 20 years apart. And Li Guo is born by Li Hongji's eldest brother, his father died just two months after he was born, and his grandfather Li Shouzhong suspected that his grandson would kill his son as soon as he was born, so he named him Guo.
Li Hongji's house is much more generous than Gao Jie's home, although he lives in a cave, there are more than ten rooms, the windows of the house are also installed with glass, and the doors are painted with red paint, which is worthy of being the richest family in Changliang Bay.
Although Li Hongji and the others skipped class and went out, when they entered the house, Li Hongji went in openly and indifferently. But Li Guo hid behind Li Hongji like a thief, preparing to sneak in.
"Uh-huh!" A voice that wasn't too loud came, but it sounded like a thunderbolt in Li Guo's ears.
Li Hongji and Li Guo had no choice but to stay where they were.
I saw an old man come out of the largest house in the middle, dressed in a long robe made of purple satin, with a bowled melon skin hat on his head, a square face with big ears, a long beard flowing under his chin, and a cigarette pouch with a copper rod in his hand.
He is Li Hongji's father, Li Guo's grandfather, Li Shouzhong.
Li Shouzhong is over 60 years old this year, rich but thrifty, very diligent and diligent on weekdays, and he will go to inspect the more than 10 acres of land rented by the tenants every day to see how the crops are growing; the same is true for the ceramic kiln, whenever he wants to send ceramics to the county seat, he will also escort the car to go there in person.
Because the eldest son died early, and Li Hongji was the son he got when he was nearly fifty years old, so he usually can't be a baby, and he is very spoiled. As for Li Guo, the grandson of his eldest son, Li Shouzhong has never liked it very much.
Although he knew that the two little guys were out to mess around, Li Shouzhong didn't nag anything today, and even Li Guo didn't scold, just said: "Come in with me!" and turned around and entered the main room.
Li Hongji turned around and smiled at Li Guo, took his hand, and followed the room.
The living room of the main house is elegantly arranged, with a square coffee table in the middle and two main chairs on both sides. There is a delicate red clay teapot on the coffee table, the teapot is Li Shouzhong's treasure, it is said to be an antique from the Song Dynasty palace, because of the frequent play, the surface of the teapot glows with a faint luster.
There were two high-backed chairs on the left and right, Li Hongji walked over quickly, sat down on the first chair on the left, and shouted in his mouth, shouting thirst and tiredness.
Li Guo didn't dare to sit, but lowered his head and stood respectfully.
Li Shouzhong, who was in the main chair, first asked the maid to bring Li Hongji a cup of tea, and then said in a somewhat heavy tone: "Listen, you two listen, someone is coming to the village today, and I will be notified as usual, on the second day of the next month, the ten-year competition of our Li family will begin!"
Speaking of this, Li Shouzhong glanced at the fat Li Hongji and the wood-like Li Guo, sighed, didn't know how to continue, and was depressed, so he picked up the cigarette pouch and began to inhale it violently.
"Family Dabi?!" Li Hongji suddenly became listless when he heard this.
And Li Guo, who has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, lowered his head, but his mind was alive.
