Chapter 123: Returning Home (2)
Take Zhong Lianhong to the location of his hometown, the house is still there, but the door is locked, no one enters or leaves, as a last resort, Lu Tong asked a half-old child who passed in front of the door, according to the child's instructions, Lu Tong came to the big house in the east of the village, although he was a little mentally prepared, but when he was really sure that this was his home, Lu Tong was still a little surprised, he didn't expect that in more than ten years, his hometown became like this, which was really a bit unexpected by Lu Tong.
Although he was already an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, at this moment, Lu Tong still took a long breath, calmed his heart, and said to Zhong Lianhong: "Lianhong, let's go in!"
Zhong Lianhong smiled slightly, followed Lu Tong into the compound, and came to the door of the main house.
"Who are you looking for?" One is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, his face is vaguely similar to Lu Tong, seeing that Lu Tong and Zhong Lianhong are gorgeously dressed and spotless, especially Zhong Lianhong's otherworldly temperament, he asked politely.
"Are you Lu Ming?" Lu Tong looked at the half-grown child who asked him, guessing that this should be his third brother Lu Ming, who was only three years old when he left, so he asked with joy.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" As soon as the half-grown child in front of him finished speaking, he heard a voice from the room: "Lu Ming, who is it?" Hurry up and let the guest room speak. ”
Immediately afterwards, an old man in his sixties appeared at the door of the main house, glanced at the visitor, looked Lu Tong up and down, and then was stunned there.
Hearing the voice, Lu Tong's face was full of excitement, and when he saw his father standing at the door, he took three steps and made two steps, walked forward quickly, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said: "Father is above, please accept the unfilial son Lu Tong to bow down." After speaking, Lu Tong kowtowed three times, lay on the ground and didn't get up.
Seeing Lu Tong like this, Zhong Lianhong also walked a few steps forward quickly, came to Lu Tong's side, knelt on the ground Yingying, and said softly: "Father-in-law is above, please accept the daughter-in-law's worship." After speaking, he slowly kowtowed three times.
Looking at Lu Tong and Zhong Lianhong, who were lying on the ground and no longer got up, Lu Tong's father was at a loss for a long time, until Lu Ming went over to remind him that he was relieved, his eyes flashed with tears, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he said to Lu Ming intermittently: "Ming'er, Ming'er, go and call your mother, just say ...... Let's just say that your eldest brother, your eldest brother is back with your sister-in-law, go quickly!"
"Big brother. Lu Ming was also shocked when he saw that the two guests with extraordinary temperament who had just come in suddenly bowed to his father, and at this moment he heard his father say this, he completely understood, and said a sentence silently, and then, his eyes stared at Lu Tong, and he stepped back without turning around, and at the same time kept shouting loudly: "Mother, mother, I...... Ouch ......" but he tripped and fell to the ground by the threshold of the main house, but hurriedly turned over, ran in, and kept shouting: "Mother, mother, my eldest brother is back, my eldest brother is back, and he is still taking my sister-in-law, mother, mother ......."
After a while, with a few voices: "Tong'er, Tong'er, is it really you?......" An old woman in her sixties appeared at the door of the main house, standing with Lu Tong's father, her face full of hope and excitement, looking at Lu Tong and Zhong Lianhong lying on the ground.
"Mother is above, please accept the unfilial son Lu Tong to kneel down. After speaking, Lu Tong kowtowed three times.
Zhong Lianhong did the same, and said to Lu Tong's mother: "Mother-in-law is above, please bow to your daughter-in-law." Immediately, he slowly kowtowed three times.
Lu Tong's mother walked a few steps quickly, picked up Lu Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at it in detail, touched Lu Tong's forehead, couldn't help it anymore, hugged Lu Tong in her arms, and cried.
"Child, don't cry, there's still a daughter-in-law? After a while, Lu Tong's father said to Lu Tongniang.
Hearing this, Lu Tong's mother stopped crying, let go of Lu Tong, hurriedly helped Zhong Lianhong up, looked at it carefully, wiped her tears, and said with a smile on her face: "Child, let you see you laugh, come into the house, enter the house and talk." ”
"It's okay, mother-in-law, we haven't been able to serve you for many years, and I ask your forgiveness. Zhong Lianhong smiled slightly and said apologetically.
"Quick, quick, let's go inside. Lu Tongniang said, grabbing Lu Tong and Zhong Lianhong's hands one by one, with a smile on her face, and slowly walked towards the house.
When I came to the house, the family was done, Lu Tongniang looked at Lu Tong and then at Zhong Lianhong, in addition to a smile on his face, Lu Tong's father also smiled, Lu Ming looked at his brother and sister-in-law with a smile, and kept asking himself in his heart, is this true? My eldest brother is back, I am back as the eldest brother of an immortal, not only is he back, but also with a fairy-like sister-in-law, oh my God! Is this true?
At this moment, Lu Tong has time to take a detailed look at his father and mother, he has not seen him for more than 12 years, although his father and mother are still strong, but they are obviously old, especially his mother is already with white hair, and her eyes are sunken, which is obviously caused by frequent crying.
Lu Tong immediately looked at the layout of the main house, all kinds of furniture were arranged neatly and reasonably, and the materials for tables, chairs and benches were all exquisite, looking at this, the life of his parents should be rich and sufficient, and there was no suffering, seeing this, Lu Tong couldn't help but think of Hao Qiuyuan's promise to himself before he entered the Yunyang Ghost Mound, it seems that Hao Qiuyuan is true to his word, and the sect takes good care of his parents.
"Father, mother, why don't you see the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister and the second brother!" Lu Tong looked around, only his father and mother and the third brother were in the huge main house, and none of the other relatives saw it, so he couldn't help but ask with a puzzled face.
"It's okay, it's okay, they're all doing well, especially your second brother, who is now the deputy town guard, a great character, if it wasn't for your father to stop us, we would have moved to the town a long time ago. Lu Tongniang said with a smile, and then changed her words and said to Lu Tong: "Don't talk about them first, tell me quickly, what is the name of this fairy-like girl, and where is she from!"
"This ......" Lu Tong hesitated slightly, and just wanted to make up a reason to fool the past, he heard Zhong Lianhong speak: "Mother, my daughter-in-law's name is Zhong Lianhong, you can call me Hong'er, my family lives in Wanquan City." ”
"Yes, yes, his family is a big family in Wanquan City. Lu Tong immediately added, for Zhong Lianhong's statement, Lu Tong agreed very much, for his parents, it is better to mention as little as possible about the cultivation of immortals.
"Wanquan City, what kind of place is that?" Lu Tongniang asked, turning her head like Lu Tong's father.
"Mother, that Wanquan City, I heard the second brother talk about it, it is thousands of times bigger than our Beiquan Town, the two are not comparable at all, I also heard that there are many immortals living in it? Lu Ming said first, and at the same time asked Lu Tong with a hopeful face.
"I'll tell you later. Lu Tong replied to his third brother with a smile, and then said to his father: "Father, mother, you still tell me about your situation over the years! Isn't it good to live in the south of the village? Isn't it good to build a big house directly in the south of the village? Why do you want to build a house in the east of the village?"
"It's not all because of your father. Lu Tongniang glanced at Lu Tong's father, and then slowly told Lu Tong about the changes in the family for more than 12 years after Lu Tong left.
It turned out that after Lu Tong was selected by the Qingquan Sect that day, the family waited anxiously for a month, when Lu Tong's father waited in the town hall a month later, the town guard was extremely enthusiastic to invite Lu Tong's father and several other parents who came to wait to eat, play, and Zuihou gave each family a thousand taels of silver, and was told that their children were selected by the Qingquan Sect and had gone with the immortal master to learn the fairy law, and they might come back in more than ten years, or they might never come back, and told each parent that they could come to the town hall to find him when they had any difficulties, and he would be responsible for everything for these families who came out of the immortals, Lu Tong's father was helpless, can only return to his home with the silver.
After returning home, I heard that my son may never come back, Lu Tong's mother cried, and then fell ill, almost didn't die, after crying, the illness was cured, and the life should be lived, after all, in addition to Lu Tong, they still have five children to raise, relying on Lu Tong to be selected by the fairy family, the one thousand taels of silver earned back, the parents bought a decent dowry for the eldest sister, and married Lu Tong's eldest sister decently, and then still relied on this thousand taels of silver, Lu Tong's father bought some land and cultivated cattle, and slowly became one of the few rich households in Beiquan Village, and also relied on Lu Tong to earn back these silver, Lu Tong's second sister, the third sister, the second brother, and the third brother don't have to do more farm work, and can have time to read and write and increase their knowledge.
Slowly, Lu Tong's second sister and third sister also married one after another, the second sister married into the Jiang family, and the third sister married into a large family in the town, and their lives were very good.
