Chapter 2403 Returning Home
After leaving Putuo Temple, I flew directly to the direction of our village.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know if Xu Nian is still in the village now."
I took a deep breath, and then my figure flashed and flew away quickly.
Compared with the first time I was eager to return home, now my heart is not as urgent as before, and my mood is even a little heavy.
Before the night fell, I first came to Guo Village, bought some food and supplies at the market, and then went straight to the home of Senior Pao Zhen.
Looking at the familiar courtyard and Ling'er who was washing clothes under the eaves with her child on her back, I smiled.
At this time, Ling'er raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. When she looked up, she happened to see me standing at the gate of the courtyard. She immediately looked happy and called out, "Brother Qianyu!"
Then she stood up quickly and walked towards me with the child on her back
. "Brother Qianyu, why are you here? Where is Huzi? Where is my father?" She looked behind me, but when she saw that there was nothing behind me, she couldn't hide her disappointment.
"I passed by here and came to see you and the child!"
I looked at the child behind Ling'er. The little guy was chubby and was staring at me with a pair of black eyes with curiosity.
"Zhao Ke, this is my uncle!" Ling'er smiled, and then said, "It's only been a month since he turned one, and he still doesn't know anything!"
I nodded, and then carried some supplies I bought into the yard.
After putting the things down, I asked, "Has Uncle Pao not come back?"
"No!" Ling'er shook her head, and then asked, "Didn't my father go out to kill the demon? Doesn't Brother Qianyu know?"
"I know." I nodded, but I was confused in my heart. After I took over the battlefield, Pao Zhen left first. I thought that with Pao Zhen's character, he would definitely go home to see Ling'er first, but who would have thought that he didn't come back?
"Did you go back to Wushu Mountain to recuperate?" I thought to myself, and then asked, "Is there any heavy work at home that you can't do? I don't have anything to do, I'll help you do the work before
leaving!" Hearing this, Ling'er smiled faintly and said, "Even if there is, you don't need it, Brother Qianyu, you are all busy. Even if you passed by today and helped me do the heavy work, you can't pass by every day!"
Although Ling'er said this with a smile, I felt very sad when I heard it.
Now, the spiritual energy has fully recovered, the demons are attacking the human world, and Hu Zi has been busy running around the martial arts halls. It is estimated that he, as a father, didn't even catch up with the child's full moon wine.
I looked at Ling'er apologetically, and then whispered: "I shouldn't have let Huzi join the Wushushan reserve, nor should I... bring him into this world!"
Ling'er shook her head: "From the moment my father taught Brother Huzi skills, I knew what the future would be like. People always talk about the word "jianghu", but what exactly is it? You men all yearn to travel the world with swords, but what about us women? We just want to live a stable life around the stove. What glory and wealth, what great glory, what is that? What's the use? Can we take it into the ground together after a hundred years?"
As she said this, she also felt that her words were a bit heavy. She smiled apologetically and said, "Brother Qianyu, I don't mean anything else. Dad is also a man of the world, so I understand and understand that what you are doing now is a major event concerning the entire human race. I don't blame Brother Huzi, and I won't blame Brother Qianyu. I'm just afraid..."
Ling'er's expression dimmed when she said this. I took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely return Huzi to you in good shape in the future!"
"Yeah." Ling'er nodded: "Brother Qianyu's words, Ling'er has taken note of it. Don't break your promise. I'll go cook for you!"
As she said this, she put the child in the stroller, and then quickly walked into the kitchen to get busy.
But I shook my head and didn't say much. I just walked to the stroller and smiled at the chubby Zhao Ke.
"Your father is a great hero, but in the future... you are not allowed to show off to be a hero. Uncle doesn't expect you to have any great success. I just hope that you can live a stable life and be a rich man living in seclusion in the countryside!"
As I said that, my mind moved.
I saw the ring on my middle finger flash, and a jade bracelet immediately appeared in my hand.
This bracelet is very small, just right for children to wear.
Moreover, this piece of jade is the top-grade imperial type, otherwise it would not be collected by the dragon that Mu Han sat on.
The most important thing is that there is Qi flowing in the jade bracelet, and there are faint runes flashing on it. Wearing it on the body can not only nourish people, make them strong and healthy, and keep them free from disease and disaster, but also drive away evil spirits.
After putting the jade bracelet on the little guy's chubby arm, my eyes focused again, stretched out my fingers, and wrote a blessing symbol on the little guy's chest.
Then, I got up and left.
Almost as soon as I left, Ling'er hurried out with a few plates of meat and a bottle of wine. When she saw that the yard was empty, only Zhao Ke was left fiddling with the table on his arm, her expression immediately darkened.
"You are all busy, coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, without even saying hello. If you don't know, you might think you got burned!"
As she said that, her eyes turned red and she actually cried.
I withdrew my five senses and sighed.
Ling'er is very kind. Although I haven't been with her for a long time, her kind and simple character has left a deep impression on me.
Moreover, as we get along, we have actually regarded each other as family members for a long time. In addition, Hu Zi and Ling'er got married and had children. Although we are not related by blood, we are already better than ordinary relatives.
She felt sorry for Hu Zi and me, because she knew that we were running for the human race, and who knows when the one who was sent back might be our...
I shook my head and didn't think about it any more. Then I flashed and flew quickly towards the village.
Soon, I smelled the familiar scent of the countryside. At this time, the sky was completely dark, but I still saw through the darkness the small village that I was very familiar with, which had raised me for 18 years and appeared in my dreams countless times!
But compared with the warmth of the past, the village has become dilapidated now, and the chimneys of every household no longer emit smoke.
In front of the village, there is also a monument.
On it, there are countless names carved densely.
Each name represents a living life!
I walked slowly to the monument, looked at those familiar names, and said calmly: "I am Qian Yu, I am back to see you!"
