Chapter Seventy-One: Homesickness and Sorrow
It has been the spring of eight years, and there is a sense of cowardice in the hometown. The river is as clear as ever, and the foothills are still green.
Sun Hao took Gu Yun Tongli all the way, drove the flying sword from the Aoki Sect, and went straight to his hometown, Lanlin Town, Nanxian County, more than ten days later, at dusk, they saw the peaceful town with smoke from a distance, a warmth, a sense of farewell came to their hearts.
This is a quiet world that is completely different from the world of swords and swords.
It was the time of the spring equinox.
The dusk of spring has its unique charm, the sun sets, people who have been busy for a day begin to return to their homes with fatigue, the green fields begin to become silent, the dew reflected by the sunset scatters golden brilliance on the green seedlings, at this time you can still hear the cheerful sound of the stream in the dark, see all kinds of insects flying in the air, the poplar trees in the distance are swaying lazily in the spring breeze, and the leaves rustle in the silence,
There were still young and old men and women walking slowly on the golden path of the sunset, and their leisurely demeanor made a familiar smile appear on Sun Hao's face.
Yes, although it has been eight years, these people still live in the depths of his memory.
It was the aunt who took her granddaughter for a walk, Sun Hao remembered that Gu Yun had stolen her duck pears back then, over there, it was Uncle Zhang who was holding a crutch, and Sun Hao had patronized his watermelon garden, as well as Aunt Wang and Brother Cai......
Dressed in golden light, outside the town, Sun Hao and the three of them jumped down from the flying sword, put away the magic weapon, and sorted out their appearance after flying at high speed, and then the three of them stepped on the golden path and walked all the way to the town.
In the past eight years, the town has not changed much, and the stone streets, green tile houses, stilted buildings, and small traders are still the same...... Sun Hao walked all the way, and the neighbors didn't recognize him, but just looked at him curiously.
Sun Hao and the three of them, with a lofty spirit, dressed in green shirts, elegant and handsome, even Tong Li, who had a broken arm, also had a simple smile on his face, so that the townsfolk could not feel any hostility.
Sun Hao smiled, smiled and nodded at the familiar people, said a simple salute, staggered over, and walked straight in the direction of his home.
The small courtyard is still the same, and when I walked into the courtyard, the familiar faint fragrance of medicine wafted over. Outside the courtyard gate, Sun Hao saw the slender figure who was always busy.
At this time, in the courtyard, there is a medicine jar boiling medicine, Wu Yuhe is half-squatting to observe the medicinal juice, beside her, there is a little boy carved in pink, as if listening to her tell how to boil medicinal juice, not far away, diagonally facing the courtyard door, Sun Hao often practice on the desk, a beautiful and delicate little girl, is holding a brush in one hand, it seems that she is ready to write, seeing Sun Hao who entered the door, her face showed a look of surprise, big eyes, full of curiosity......
At this time, in the main room, Sun Qiang's loud voice had already sounded: "I don't know which distinguished guest is coming, so I can't welcome ...... far away."
As he spoke, a sturdy figure had already appeared in the courtyard. Sun Hao and Tong Liren did not deliberately hide their hiding, and Sun Qiang, who had cultivated his internal strength to a high level, only felt that two top masters had come to his courtyard, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately greeted him. Gu Yun had already said goodbye to Sun Hao for the time being and went to his own home.
"Dad, mother......" Sun Hao called his parents a little choked: "It's me, I'm back......"
"Xiaohao?" The haunting voice appeared in his ears, Wu Yuhe turned his head suddenly, and saw Sun Hao, who was already tall and handsome: "Xiaohao......", tears burst out of his eyes, and he stretched out his arms to Sun Hao with teary eyes, and hugged Sun Hao into his arms.
"Mom......", Sun Hao called Mom, hugged Wu Yuhe, and murmured: "I'm back, I'm back"
At this time, Sun Qiang also blushed, strode forward, and a bear hug hugged Sun Hao's mother and son together, "It's good to come back, it's good to ......come back", and the three of them hugged each other.
Once you enter the immortal gate, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on, the immortals and the mortals are forever separated; the world only envy the immortals, but the immortals envy the mortals.
Sun Hao has been gone for eight years, and he hasn't seen him for eight years, the naïve child at the beginning is now a young man, and what he misses, can outsiders know?
At this time, the little boy who was originally next to Wu Yuhe also reacted at this time, the little guy saw that his mother was hugging someone else, so he stopped doing it, and desperately squeezed between the three of them, shouting in his mouth: "Dad, mother, hug, hug, I want to hug ...... too"
The little girl over there, her big eyes flashed, and with a whoosh, she also jumped up from the desk and ran over: "I want it too, I want it too, ......I want it too."
At this time, Wu Yuhe finally recovered from the surprise of meeting, and said in his mouth: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back...... Come, Xiaoqian, Xiaohu, come and see your big brother"
Sun Hao understood, the two children in front of him were his younger brothers and sisters. I have been going for eight years, but I didn't expect to come back this time, and there is actually a younger sister and a younger brother.
Seeing the two innocent younger siblings in front of him, Sun Hao opened his hands and showed a smile on his face: "Come on, Xiaoqian Xiaohu, big brother hugs ......", saying this, Sun Hao's heart, unconsciously, swelled up with a faint sense of loss, it was the loss that he was finally not the only son of his father, but at the same time, Sun Hao's psychology also had a sense of relief, if there were no younger siblings, Sun Hao really couldn't rest assured that his parents, with younger siblings, Sun Hao was away all the year round, and his parents would not be less than someone to take care of.
"Are you the eldest brother?" Xiao Qian hugged Sun Hao's arm all the time, and her pretty face and big eyes sparkled: "Are you a fairy?"
Xiaohu also hugged Sun Hao's other arm: "Brother, brother, I want to see the fairy law, I want to see the fairy law ......", although Sun Hao has been away from home for many years, but first, blood is thicker than water, and secondly, Wu Yuhe instilled the concept of big brother with them when he was fine, and told the story of big brother, two little guys, but they are no strangers to the big brother who has never met.
At this time, Sun Qiang also saw the broken arm Tongli who was standing tall in the courtyard, dressed in the golden light of dusk, with a simple smile on his face, and greeted him with a smile: "This brother is ......."
Tong Li grinned: "Uncle, my name is Tong Li, I am Sun Hao's junior brother, you can call me Xiaoli", although Tong Li is a monk and Sun Qiang is just a mortal, but, because Sun Qiang is Sun Hao's father, Tong Li is a junior in his heart, which is different from the monk world to determine the generation by the realm.
At this time, seeing his father and Tong Li greeting him, he also said with a smile on the side: "Father, it's good if you call him Dali, let's call him that's it."
Sun Qiang looked at Tong Li's huge size, and said in his heart, this name is really an image. With the improvement of Tong Li's cultivation and the growth of his age, this body has become taller and stronger, and now it is as tall as eight feet, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a big character.
Wu Yuhe smiled and beckoned Tong Li into the room, Sun Hao was pestered by two younger siblings to tell stories, and the small courtyard was happy.
Eight years have passed, although Sun Qiang and Wu Yuhe seem to have not changed much, Sun Hao still found that their wrinkles have risen, and their sideburns have begun to turn white, especially their mother, Xu is giving birth to children or missing Sun Hao's relationship, and his face is haggard.
The younger sister Sun Qian, who is five years old this year, and the younger brother Sun Xiaohu, who is three years old this year, are currently learning some related family skills from their parents, just like Sun Hao back then. The younger brother Sun Xiaohu has begun to learn Agni Gong, but Sun Qian, because she is a girl, is not suitable for practicing Agni Gong, so she mainly learns literacy and pharmacological knowledge.
Sun Hao stayed in Lanlin Town for more than a month, during which he also visited Gu Qiang and the neighborhood, Gu Qiang looked very energetic, especially when Gu Yun came back, which made his face red, but Gu Qiang never renewed, which made Gu Yun feel at ease.
In a month's time, the former friends heard that Sun Hao was going home, Sun Wu, Sun Shan, Wu Tian, etc. also came to visit, but now it is not what it used to be, the past is like smoke, and the friends who are used to playing together in the past are quite restrained when they see Sun Hao, although Sun Hao is still smiling faintly, but he can't go back to the times of the year.
When they meet each other, they may be able to recall the past, but they are much stranger to each other, and Sun Hao's body is awe-inspiring with the aura of immortals, which distances him from his companions back then. Even Gu Yun had to sigh in front of Sun Hao: "It's difficult, it's difficult, I can't go back, I can't go back......"
There is no going back to the intimate childlike emotions of the past.
People have to grow up, Sun Hao is in the yard, overlooking the mountains, with a faint nostalgia. Perhaps, many years later, Lanlin Town has always been a quiet harbor in his heart, and that innocent emotion has always been a treasure in his heart.
This quiet and serene Lanlin Town is like a spiritual station, tired and resting here, quiet and far away.
However, Sun Hao knew that he couldn't stay here for long, there were still too many things waiting for Sun Hao to do, and the tranquility and serenity of Lanlin Town had to be guarded by his own heart, not to mention anything else, just say that the Feilong Village not far away would also pose a fatal threat to the peace of Lanlin Town, and this time when he came back, Sun Hao was ready to pull out this tumor.
The younger siblings did not have a spiritual root, which made Sun Hao feel a little disappointed, but also relieved, if the younger siblings had spiritual roots, the parents were afraid that they would have to experience the pain of parting again.
In Lanlin Town, Sun Hao, who did not practice, was like a mortal, and really lived for more than a month, of course, during this period, Sun Hao sorted out himself from the Morning Glory Sutra combined with other massive books, and compiled it himself, and passed on the "Book of Morning Glory" suitable for mortal medical skills to his mother, and passed down a future mortal medical art holy book; It was also optimized and passed on to his father; the body of the second elder was also conditioned with pills, removing some secret injuries left by his father over the years and some minor problems after his mother gave birth; the four relatives, wrapped his younger siblings, all gave some talismans with aura, which can protect against all diseases; finally, before leaving, in his ancestral hall, Sun Hao left a wheel of fire to pass on.
Because his sister couldn't practice the Agni Gong, Sun Hao temporarily compiled an internal skill method of "The Secret of Longevity" on the basis of raising wood, combined with his own annual ring wood technique, and passed it on to his sister, but he didn't expect to create a generation of heroines.
