Chapter 9: Returning Home
Si Cheng didn't expect that three years had passed in a flash, if it weren't for Qingshi's reminder, he wouldn't have felt it at all, he had been practicing sword moves for the past three years, because of other exercises or something, he couldn't practice, so he could only practice after becoming a cultivator, but all the exercises were memorized by then, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to forget them.
"Go, it's useless to stay here any longer, go out and wander. Remember, don't always nest in Hongzhu Village, so even if you learn all the exercises, you are just a frog at the bottom of the well, the outside world is extremely vast, you have to rely on your own efforts, hard work, in order to grow faster and become stronger. "Lao Qingshi still has some words to say, although he doesn't know what the master said about the disaster, although he doesn't know what it is, but whether it can be saved in the future may depend on Si Cheng's future growth height and strength.
"And most importantly, don't go out and tell anyone about this place, especially your exercises, otherwise it will bring endless disasters and hunts. Remember, remember!"
Si Cheng looked at Qingshi, who was already very old, and didn't know what to say for a while, although he wanted to go back, especially when he thought of his father's and mother's eyes waiting for him to go home every day, he couldn't wait to be at the door of his house now. It's just that in the past few years I have been getting along with Qingshi, it was he who gave me exercises, it was he who gave me hope to become stronger, and he taught me so selflessly, I was really a little reluctant in my heart.
The corners of Wet Yun's eyes finally flowed from her face overwhelmed, "Senior Qingshi, I will come to see you again, after I become stronger." ”
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears and walked out with a determined look.
After Si Cheng's figure disappeared, Lao Qingshi also sighed, "Little guy, I'm waiting for you." He didn't know why, he seemed a little sad, maybe more reluctant.
Looking at Hongzhu Village in front of him, Si Cheng was extremely excited, "It's been three years, and I'm finally going home!"
When he saw the huge bluestone still standing there, a sad feeling suddenly came, and he slowly walked towards the bluestone, gently touching the huge stone body, "The bluestone senior said that this is his body. ”
Unconsciously, tears slid down again, "Senior Qingshi, don't worry, I will cultivate hard, and I will come back to see you when I become strong in the future." ”
After calming down, he rushed home with heavy steps.
But before he had gone far, he saw a tombstone, the grave was not big, it was covered with grass, and the breeze was gusting, as if welcoming Si Cheng's return.
"How can there be a grave here?" The village has never chosen a grave here, it has always been, because it is very close to the red bamboo forest, and the people in the village are quite terrified of this place, so there are almost no people who usually come here, let alone any graves.
With doubts, he walked forward, and there were some flowers and fruits in front of the tombstone, and even Si Cheng saw chicken legs. That's right, it's chicken legs, Si Cheng remembers that when he was a child, his favorite food was chicken legs, but all he ate in the red bamboo forest for three years was Lingguo pills or something, to be honest, I really miss the taste of chicken legs made by my mother.
When he walked to the tombstone, Si Cheng's mouth widened, and he saw that the six big words "The Tomb of My Son Si Cheng" were very eye-catching. Si Cheng saw his tombstone and disappeared for three years, and his parents probably thought he was dead a long time ago.
Yes, my father should have found out something at that time, and knew that I had entered the red bamboo forest, you know, the red bamboo forest was a terrifying existence for the whole village. The ancestors did not know how many went in, but none of them came back alive, and this phenomenon continued for many generations before it ended, and then no one dared to approach it. If Si Cheng hadn't come here by chance and found a strange bluestone, he wouldn't have come here every day.
Looking at the tombstone and the chicken legs in the bowl, Si Cheng's eyes were hazy, and he couldn't wait to rush into his parents' arms and cry bitterly. Yes, home is close in front of you, you can go home soon, you've been separated for three years, Daddy, and Xiao Ling'er, are you all okay?
The Si family, the past three years have been very heavy, since Si Cheng disappeared, Qu Yun washed his face with tears every day, the more he cried, the less he cried, and finally dried up, his eyes were no longer visible, and his body was getting weaker and weaker, if he hadn't thought that poor Ling'er still needed his mother, maybe he would have gone to another world to find him.
Today, as usual, Si Honglie was feeding Qu Yun medicine, and suddenly, "Dad, mother, I'm back." ”
With a "poof", the medicine bowl in Si Honglie's hand fell to the ground.
"Brother Lie, I heard Xiao Cheng's voice, I heard Xiao Cheng's voice. Qu Yun was excited, and his body was trembling.
Without waiting for Si Honglie to react, the door was knocked open, and a figure ran in from outside the door, this person was Si Cheng, who ran home quickly from the grave, his relatives who had not seen him for three years were now close at hand, how could he not be excited, how could he not go back as fast as possible.
The moment he pushed open the door and entered, he felt that something was wrong, and then he saw his mother lying on the bed and his father sitting on the edge of the bed, and tears poured out of his eyes.
"Father, mother, children are not filial. As he spoke, he fell to his knees.
"Xiao Cheng, is it Xiao Cheng?" Qu Yun straightened up and was about to get out of bed.
"Yes, Xiao Cheng is back," In such a situation, even Si Honglie, who is usually known for his majesty, couldn't help but shed rare tears.
Saying that, he hurriedly helped Qu Yun up, the mother and son were deeply affectionate, and their flesh and blood were connected. The mother and son hugged each other tightly, hugged their heads and cried.
After a while, the cry gradually decreased, "Come, Xiaocheng, let my mother take a good look at you." Qu Yun said with a crying voice. As he spoke, he touched Si Cheng's face with his hand.
Si Honglie, who was standing on the side, really couldn't help it, don't look over, I really can't bear to see this scene.
When Qu Yun's hand touched Si Cheng's forehead, Si Cheng grabbed her hand, what kind of hand was this, dry without a trace of blood, and then saw the empty eyes.
"Mother, your eyes?" said and couldn't help crying again.
"It's okay, my mother is fine, as long as you can come back, it's better than anything. At this time, Qu Yun changed from crying to laughter and said such a sentence.
"Dad, how could my mother be like this?" Si Cheng asked Si Honglie with an extremely sad heart.
"Alas, Xiaocheng, since you disappeared, your mother has been heartbroken, and she washes her face with tears every day, and she can't see anything a year ago. Si Honglie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and told all the bitterness and bitterness in the past three years.
"Wei Xian, Li Ming and Liu Jian, these are all harmed by you. Si Cheng roared in his heart, clenching his fists tightly, and squeezing them sounded.
