It was almost dusk, and it had arrived at the road that Luo Yi could know, and Gu Xi said that they would camp on the spot and hurry tomorrow, but Luo Yi insisted on arriving today. So they quickened their pace, walked for another hour or two, and finally reached the village. At this time, the moon had climbed high in the sky, the paper windows of every house were lit up, and some old men were chatting on stools outside the house.

As soon as Zhang Xiaocai entered the village, he roared at the edge of the pond: "We're back." He was responded to by a dog barking, which immediately drew the laughter of several girls.

Zhao Shengnan quipped: "Your welcome ceremony is very special." ”

Suddenly, someone patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder on the back and issued a warning voice: "Why are you so noisy? It's like a bandit entering the village." ”

"I want you to take care of it. Zhang Xiao responded directly, carried away by the joy of arriving home.

After a moment he felt that something was wrong, the voice was somewhat familiar, but it was not the voice of the person they had come with, and suddenly a figure flashed through his mind. "No!" he turned his head stiffly, and sure enough, the fears had happened.

"Why did you appear behind me silently like a ghost. "Not to mention that he didn't notice, even the other disciples, none of them noticed how he appeared among them.

"It's that you're so weak, that you don't even notice that my white clothes are so obvious under the night sky. ”

Hua Qianyu took two steps forward and hugged him directly: "Brother, you're back too, it's great." Even in the dim moonlight, you could see her happy expression.

Hua Wuxian smiled and said, "Well, I've been waiting for you for many days. ”

Listening to Hua Qianyu's name, everyone naturally knew who this person was. Even Condensation Xue and Gu Xi were also shocked, and glanced at each other, feeling that this person must be the dragon and phoenix among people.

After a while, Hua Wuxian pushed Hua Qianyu, clasped his fists and saluted the two masters, "Two masters, please come to my house to rest together." ”

Gu Xi smiled and returned the salute: "Many of us may be too disturbing in your family." Then he glanced at everyone and said, "Condensation Xue, you take a few disciples to his house, I and a few people go to Luo Yi's house, and then the others go to Zhang Xiao and Wu Zhijing's house to rest." ”

"Good. ”

Separated, Gu Xi and Shang Wenwu went to Luo Yi's house, Bai Ling went to Wu Zhijing's house, Condensation Xue, Zhao Shengnan, and Ganlu went to Hua Qianyu's house, and Fang Nan went to Zhang Xiao's house. Although they went to each house, they were not far apart, and with their current strength, it was not a matter of minutes to want to visit each other.

Luo Yi's family is an ordinary peasant family, the wooden house is covered with dark brown tiles, and the house is stacked with dry firewood on one side, and a pigsty and cattle pen on the other. Before Luo Yi got home, it happened that his parents came out, Luo Yi was very happy when he saw the two, and shouted: "Dad, mother, I'm back." ”

His parents were startled at first, and then ran to him, touching it, looking at it, and they all sighed and said, "They have all grown into adults." ”

"Well, after all, after so many years, you can't eat for nothing, you have to grow taller. This is my master, this is Shang Wenwu, and the other brothers and sisters went to Zhang Xiao, Wu Zhijing and Hua Qianyu's house. ”

His father said, "It's great that the people who studied martial arts in the third world have returned. Seeing that you have only been back for so long, you must have already become an official disciple of the third world. ”

Gu Xi said: "They are all very good disciples. ”

Luo Yi's father said: "Master, sit in the house, they are thanks to your care, and they will have more guidance in the future." ”

Luo Yi's mother continued to pull up Luo Yi to look left and right, sometimes pinching his face, touching his head or something, Luo Yi felt embarrassed: "Mother, what are you doing? I'm so old, I still use my hands and feet, and the masters are still here." ”

"No matter how old I am, it's my son, I can pinch it as much as I want, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I think of me like anything. ”

"But it's not like that, we haven't eaten yet, so we can't let your son go hungry all the time. ”

His mother reacted, "Well, then you can go cook." ”

"What, I'm going to cook?"

"Look at you, you came back empty-handed, what's wrong with cooking me a meal?" His mother seemed to be a little angry that Luo Yi came back without a gift.

"Didn't I bring myself back?"

His mother said, "All right, then I'll go and help you." Luo Yi had no choice but to cook with his mother, while his father accompanied the guests.

Luo Yi said: "Mother, I don't think you and your father have changed much, you are still as beautiful and handsome as when you left, and the years have not left any traces on you at all." ”

"After all these years, you shouldn't have only learned to be poor!"

"Pretty much. ”

After a while, green smoke rose from the rooftops of several houses, and they were all cooking for them, and there were bursts of laughter and conversation.

Zhang Xiao's family, Zhang Xiao said: "Dad, you just take care of your daughter-in-law, you are such a big person, and you are still crying like this, I still have companions here, no shame!"

His father cried a little hoarsely and said, "You unfilial turtle grandson, you have been away for so many years, and you don't know how to come back to see us halfway." ”

Zhang Xiao said: "Grandpa said before his death, I am not a turtle grandson, I am a rabbit cub. ”

His father was so angry that he turned around and went to the stove, trying to find a slender stick to beat him. When Zhang Xiao saw his father's familiar and long-lost action, he was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, I was wrong!"

His father stopped suddenly, slowly sat back on the long orange, and sighed: "Alas, get used to it, now that you have grown up, it is rare to come back once, and I don't know how many times you can come back." After saying that, he was sad again.

"Enough, enough, don't cry. At that time, didn't you say that you were not allowed to come back if you didn't finish your studies, and besides, the journey is so far, how can it be so easy to go back home, but I will come back to see you often later. He watched his parents become much older than before, and his heart was not happy, and while persuading them, his own tears were about to flow out.

"Hmm. His parents went to cook and made him a table of his favorite dishes. Then listening to him tell his parents about the situation in the past few years, his parents gradually became happy, felt that their son had really grown up, and felt very proud.

The families were so happy that they spoke until midnight before slowly blowing out the candles.

The next morning, all four of them slept soundly, and in the morning they also enjoyed the feeling of being woken up by their parents. For many years, no matter how good it is, it is not as good as at home.

In the morning they looked around, and it felt like they were full of memories, as if they still saw their childhood selves running around there. They greeted their neighbors and said a few words to their childhood companions, which is what it feels like to be home.

Luo Yi was breathing fresh air outside, Gu Xi walked out and asked, "How is it?"

"It was warm, homely feeling. ”

Luo Yi's father also walked out and said, "Either stay and stop cultivating." ”

Luo Yi thought for a while, looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully: "I also want to stay, but I can't stop yet, as if there is a voice calling me, there should be something waiting for me to do." ”

Gu Xi and Luo Zhiyuan looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything. At this time, Wu Zhijing came over: "Master, Uncle Luo, let's go to my house for dinner together." ”

Luo Yi's father laughed when he saw such a young girl, and said, "Wu Zhijing, your little girl has grown into a big girl, not bad, not bad." Okay, let's go to your house for dinner together, and call your Aunt Zhang to help out. Oh, by the way, call all of you who came back with you. ”

"Well, I've already called Zhang Xiao, I'll call Hua Qianyu again, you go first. ”

"Good. ”

They are not far apart, and they can hear each other even if they shout with all their might. On the way there, Gu Xi looked around, and the more he looked, the more strange he felt, and said to Luo Yi's father: "The terrain here is really strange, as if it has been deliberately arranged, but it seems to be naturally formed, which is really amazing." ”

Luo Yi's father said: "I have also heard some people who know feng shui say that the terrain here is good, but our feeling is that the food here is more delicious, and the livestock also grow well. Master Gu is also a person who understands feng shui, but let's talk about it?"

Gu Xi said: "No, I don't understand, it's just an intuition. ”
