Standing at the door of the home in his distant memory, Li Mu was a little dazed. He sorted out his thoughts. Although the door was locked, this did not pose a problem for Li Mu. He walked straight through the door and entered the house.
The house was very clean, just like he remembered, and it looked like someone was still living there. Li Mu immediately sensed the presence of his parents. After walking around the house for a while, he returned to his old room. Everything in the room had not changed, and it was still the same as before he left. Five years had passed, which was not a short time for a mortal, and his parents still missed him.
"Squeak~" Just as he was thinking, the door was opened and a woman with white hair appeared in front of Li Mu. This was his mother, Chen Xiuhua.
Looking at his mother's appearance, Li Mu's eyes couldn't help but become moist. His mother is less than 50 years old now, but her hair is full of white hair and her face is full of vicissitudes. This is enough to show how much of a blow Li Mu's disappearance has been to her.
After organizing his thoughts, Li Mu walked out of the room and shouted to his mother: "Mom, I'm back." This "Mom" came after tens of thousands of years.
Chen Xiuhua's body trembled a little when she heard the familiar voice. The dish in her hand fell to the ground because she didn't hold it firmly. She didn't pay any attention to it and turned carefully to look at Li Mu.
"Mu'er, it's really you!" After Chen Xiuhua confirmed that she had heard correctly, she quickly ran towards Li Mu and hugged him in her arms. She was so happy that she cried and laughed.
Li Mu was also silently enjoying this warmth, and the two separated after a long time.
"Where have you been all these years? Your father and I were so worried." Chen Xiuhua asked Li Mu.
"I was taken to the mountains by an old Taoist priest to learn martial arts. I have been under his watch for all these years and I cannot escape. Now that the old Taoist priest has passed away, I have the opportunity to go down the mountain." Li Mu was indeed brought to the fairyland by an immortal emperor before his death, who gave him the inheritance. He cannot tell the truth directly now. Isn't this nonsense? Who would believe it?
"Alas, how could that old Taoist priest be like this? You have suffered a lot over the years." Chen Xiuhua did not doubt Li Mu's statement. Li Mu had always been a good child in the eyes of his parents and he never lied. Besides, Li Mu's current attire was out of tune with ordinary people.
"By the way, I have to call your dad to come back." Chen Xiuhua suddenly remembered, dialed the number, and told Li Mu's father, Li Zhiguo, everything.
The mother and son continued to exchange pleasantries, as if they had endless things to say. After a while, Li Zhiguo returned home, also with a head full of white hair. He tried to control his emotions and said to Li Mu: "I'm glad you're back."
"Yeah." Li Mu nodded. It is not as easy for father and son to express their emotions as it is for mother and son. Everything is implied.
"Mu'er, you've worked hard along the way and must be hungry. I'll go cook for you." Chen Xiuhua picked up the dishes that had fallen on the ground and walked into the kitchen.
Only the father and son were left in the living room, and Li Mu repeated his previous experience to Li Zhiguo.
"So you have learned some skills from the old Taoist priest, and all the hardships you have experienced over the years are worth it." Li Zhiguo said.
"Well, it's okay. It's no problem to make a living." Li Mu said modestly.
"What are you talking about? Come and eat." Chen Xiuhua brought the food to the table and shouted to the father and son.
Li Mu sat at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and put the delicious dishes into his mouth. This familiar taste. Li Mu has eaten countless delicacies from land and sea, and fairy food over the years, but he still feels that they are not as satisfying as the dishes made by his mother in front of him. He can't help but speed up the frequency of picking up dishes.
"Eat slowly and don't choke. Just eat a simple meal today and I'll make you something delicious tomorrow." Chen Xiuhua felt a little distressed when she saw Li Mu wolfing down his food. How much suffering had her son endured over the years?
"By the way, I have some pills that I made myself. You can take them to regulate your body." Li Mu took out two Dingyan Pills and handed them to his parents. These were low-level pills that he specially prepared before he came here. They were used to keep mortals young and increase their lifespan.
Li Zhiguo and Chen Xiuhua looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then took the pill and swallowed it directly. Instantly, they felt a warm current dissolving in their bodies, and their physical fatigue was swept away, and all the major and minor diseases disappeared. What kind of pill is this? It's too magical, and the effect is immediate. They feel a little proud that their son can make pills.
"This pill is relatively mild. Your physical fitness will gradually be adjusted to the best condition." Li Mu said to his parents.
"It seems that you have really learned some skills over the years!" Li Zhiguo said excitedly.
The family had a happy dinner and chatted for a while. It was already midnight, so Chen Xiuhua urged Li Mu to go back to his room to rest.
Lying on his bed, Li Mu thought about what happened today, and he had never felt such a strong sense of belonging. His parents were still mortals, and they also had their own lives on Earth. He couldn't take them directly to the fairyland. Li Mu decided to wait until their bodies were in the best condition, and then teach them to practice when the time was right. Thinking of all this, Li Mu, who hadn't slept for many years, closed his eyes deeply and fell asleep.
The next morning, Li Mu was awakened by the noise outside the house. Although the noise was not loud, when he opened the door, he found his mother was already busy in the kitchen.
"Mu'er, you're awake. Why don't you sleep a little longer? In the past, during your holidays, you never woke up until the morning." Chen Xiuhua said lovingly.
"The old Taoist priest is strict. I'm used to it." Li Mu answered casually. He couldn't say that he hadn't slept for tens of thousands of years. Last night's sleep was the first time in all these years.
"Haha, that's good. Getting up early is good for your health. Wait a minute, breakfast will be ready soon." Chen Xiuhua said.
After a while, Li Zhiguo also got up. Both his parents looked much better today. After the family had breakfast, Li Zhiguo was ready to go out. He had to go out to work.
"Dad, don't go out to work. Now that I'm back, you don't have to work hard in the future." Li Mu said.
"You little brat, it's enough that you have this intention. How much savings do you have now? I will enjoy my life in peace when you make a lot of money. You are so old now. I will work harder when you come back to save money for you to get married." Li Zhiguo smiled and said, then he walked out of the house and went to work at the construction site.
Li Mu was a little helpless. He had to stay on Earth for a while, and he didn't want to break the rules. Since he was on Earth, he had to abide by the rules of Earth and find a way to make some money.
"Mu'er, don't worry about him. You just came back, so just relax. Can't you find a good job with your ability? That pill last night was so magical." Chen Xiuhua comforted.
"Yeah." Li Mu nodded. In fact, with Li Mu's current abilities, making money is easy. He was thinking about where to start.
After the mother and son cleaned up the dishes, they chatted for a while.
