Chapter 124: Returning Home (3)
One day five years ago, the town guard personally came to Lu Tong's home in Shuangquan Village, and said some words that Lu Tong was out and everything was fine, and the second elder was reassured, and then assigned a thousand acres of fertile land to the Lu family, built a big mansion as the Lu family's house, and decided that the Lu family would not pay taxes and not serve in the military。
Originally, the town guard Jihua built a big mansion on the original site of the Lu family, but Lu Tong's father resolutely disagreed, saying that he should not make the neighbors uneasy because of his own family affairs, and forced other village names to move away from the original site, and finally had no choice but to build the Lu family's big mansion on the open space in the east of the village, originally Lu Shun wanted to move the whole family to Beiquan Town to live, but Lu Tong's father resolutely disagreed, saying that Beiquan Village is the ancestral land of the Lu family, even if he dies here, he resolutely disagrees to move away, and in desperation, Lu Shun can only live in the town by himself, and go home from time to time to see。
After hearing all this, Lu Tong was deeply grateful to Hao Qiuyuan in his heart, and thanked the Qingquan Sect for everything he had done, when he thought that he had fallen, no one in the sect had left tea and cold, and he did not believe in his words, but fulfilled his promise very seriously, and took good care of his parents, with this thousand acres of fertile land, a big house, the Lu family can live without worry for several lifetimes, not to mention three years of exemption from taxes and military service, and his second brother has also become a deputy town guard, a figure with a head and a face, if it continues to develop like this, as long as there are no major accidents, not to mention the third world, it is the sixth generation, the life of the seventh generation will be worry-free, but Lu Tong understands that 'the rich can not be more than three generations, and the poor cannot be more than five suits', as for what will happen after the third generation? The descendants have their own destiny, then it is not something that Lu Tong needs to consider.
"Father, mother, such a big house, why don't you ignore a few servants!" After hearing this, Lu Tong looked around and asked his parents.
"What about hiring people? This is all your father's idea, what is said to be expensive or arrogant, rich or luxurious, poor and not worried, the Zhuang family must have the true character of the Zhuang family, not only do they not hire people, but the thousand acres of cultivated land, your father also rents it to the villagers at half price to cultivate. Lu Tongniang said with a slight atmosphere.
"Big brother, don't complain about your father, my father is also doing this for our good, he often educates the second brother and me, saying that the Lu family can have today is all your credit, don't look at the current scenery of our family, I don't know how much you have suffered outside? Seeing Lu Tong frowning slightly, Lu Ming hurriedly explained, and continued:
"A few years ago, I heard the legend of outsiders, it is precisely because you died outside, so the town will compensate the Lu family for these, for which my father and mother secretly cried from time to time, my mother had a serious illness the year before last, and there was only one breath left, but fortunately, a passing doctor happened to appear and saved my mother. ”
"Mother, are you doing well now?" Lu Tong heard Lu Ming say this, and hurriedly asked his mother.
"It's okay, it's okay, the medicine of the miracle doctor is very effective, my mother got better immediately, and now everything is fine, and there is nothing left. Lu Tong's mother said.
"Divine Doctor, what does he look like?" Lu Tong couldn't help but ask, he didn't believe that any divine doctor would happen to pass by.
Listening to his father's description, Lu Tong immediately understood something, and couldn't help but look at Zhong Lianhong, Zhong Lianhong saw Lu Tong looking at him, plus listening to Lu Tong's father's description, he immediately understood something, but he smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Later, after chatting with each other about these years, Zuihou or Lu Ming couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, you and your sister-in-law are really immortals?"
As soon as these words came out, even Lu Tong's parents also stopped talking and looked straight at Lu Tong, Lu Tong was helpless, thought about it, and could only speak: "But the immortals are not like you think, the shijie of the immortals is also full of many hardships and difficulties, and this road is really not easy to walk." ”
"Lu Ming, don't ask, your eldest brother's life is different from ours, just live our life well. Lu Tong's father saw that Lu Tong seemed to have something unspeakable, so he hurriedly stopped Lu Ming, and then slowly said: "Tong'er, you are going to stay at home for a few days this time! I will also inform your sister and second brother and other relatives to come to the house to see you." ”
"Dad, my son thanks you for your insightful and sensible, this time my son ...... The son stays at home for a maximum of three days. Lu Tong thought about it for a while, looked at his parents, and replied slowly, then glanced at Zhong Lianhong and said: "Father, mother, my son and Lianhong's life is not the same as yours now, our shijie also has its own rules, and there are many things that we need to do, as for other relatives, I still don't want to see them, you just notify the three sisters, brothers-in-law, second brothers, and sisters-in-law to come back, and don't tell outsiders that I'm back, so as not to cause unpleasant effects." ”
Hearing Lu Tong say this, Lu Tong's father and mother looked at each other with a look of surprise, but Lu Tong's father quickly reacted and said to Lu Ming: "Ming'er, you ride a fast horse and go to inform your sisters and second brothers in person, and outsiders will say that your mother is sick again, let them come back and see, do you understand." ”
"Dad, it's getting late now, so why don't you wait for tomorrow! And it is inevitable that there will be some doubts about the haste in informing them now. Lu Tong heard his father say this, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"It doesn't matter, eldest brother, I'll go now, the eldest sister and the second sister are in this village, the third sister and the second brother live not far away, and it won't take two hours to ride a fast horse. Lu Ming said, just as he was about to stand up, he heard Lu Tong's father say:
"Ming'er, listen to your eldest brother, and I'll go back tomorrow morning. Lu Tong's father heard Lu Tong say this, and hurriedly stopped Lu Ming.
"That's fine. Lu Ming looked at his father and then at Lu Tong, and then replied.
"Father, mother, my husband and I bought some things when we passed through the town, and I would like you to take a look. Zhong Lianhong saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so she hurriedly spoke, then walked out of the door, and took out a lot of things from the carriage, Lu Tong said: "Sister-in-law, I'll help you get it." Then he ran out.
"Tong'er, is your daughter-in-law really an immortal?" After Zhong Lianhong went out, Lu Tongniang asked with a smile.
"Yes, Lianhong is my master's daughter. Lu Tong replied with a smile.
After a while, Zhong Lianhong and Lu Ming walked in with large bags and small bags one after the other, put many gifts on the table, and the family talked with a smile, talking and laughing......
It wasn't until late at night that Lu Tong's father and mother and Lu Ming entered their room to fall asleep, Lu Tong and Zhong Lianhong looked at each other and smiled, entered the room prepared for them by their mother, sat cross-legged, settled down, and began to cultivate.
The next day, when the sky was light, Lu Ming rode a fast horse and informed the others to go, Lu Tong accompanied his father to sit in the house and chat, and after a while, Lu Tong's eldest sister and the second sister's family were the first to come to the house.
A few hours later, with the neighing of several fast horses, the third sister and the second brother's family also came to the house. Brother-in-law and others, rushed directly to the hospital, and Lu Tong hugged each other tightly, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, Lu Shun now has a calm temperament, from head to toe is an official, Lu Tong knows that after he leaves home, his father is getting older and aging, the third brother is still young, and the second brother in front of him will take on the heavy responsibility of the entire Lu family, so he attaches great importance to the second brother and talks the most.
For three days, the entire Lu family was immersed in joy, the brothers and sisters talked happily, and several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law were also very happy.
Until the evening of the third day, Lu Tong's parents gathered all their children in the main house, with a sad face.
"Father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law are leaving, you don't need to be so sad, eldest brother is different from us, he and sister-in-law have their own life, our Lu family ancestor has accumulated virtue, out of the eldest brother such an immortal, we should be happy, if you are like this, how to let the eldest brother rest assured?" Lu Shun saw the sadness on his parents' faces, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Yes, yes, we should be happy, happy. Lu Tong's father repeated a few words, and then forced out a smile.
"Mother, you don't have to be so sad, my husband and I will come back to see you in the future. Zhong Lianhong helped Lu Tongniang and whispered.
"I'm not sad, I'm not sad, I'm happy, happy. Lu Tongniang also squeezed out a smile, patted Zhong Lianhong's hand and said.
"A few sisters, a second brother, a third brother, and my father and mother are bothering you to take care of them. Lu Tong also had a sad face, and bowed to a few people.
"Big brother, don't worry! With our brother and sister, my father and mother will be fine. Lu Shun came to Lu Tong and said heartily.
In the past few days, the two brothers have stayed for the longest time, and they have talked the most, that is, some things in the immortal cultivation world, Lu Tong also said something to his second brother, zuihou, give Lu Shun a bottle of Qinghan Pill and let him keep it carefully, as an heirloom of the Lu family, and said that this pill can only be used when the family has a mortal disease that cannot be cured, and must not let outsiders know about its existence, Lu Shun carefully kept it close to his body.
Yesterday, Lu Tong made a few pieces of priceless jade Ruyi on the haode jade box, each family gave a handle, the right to commemorate the friendship of compatriots, looking at Lu Tong out of nowhere to take out the jade Ruyi, several brothers-in-law, Lu Shun's wife was surprised, this jade Ruyi is rare in the world, it can definitely be used as their own heirloom, looked at each other, zuihou Lu Shun took the lead in receiving, and everyone happily received it.
When the eldest sister was cooking, Lu Tong secretly handed over a jade pendant that sealed his own source qi to the eldest sister, and told the eldest sister not to tell anyone, go home and put the little pillar on her body, which can protect her from all diseases and live a long life.
zuihou, Lu Tong patted his second brother and third brother, and then knelt on the ground with Zhong Lianhong, and solemnly kowtowed to his father and mother three times, and then, released the empty rope, took advantage of the night, rose into the air, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the dark night sky, Lu Tong's parents could no longer suppress their emotions and shed tears......
