Chapter 353: Kowtow

Many people in the capital thought that Li Xin was coming back to show off when he returned to his hometown this time, after all, a child from a poor family, a young marquis, and a high position, it was a pity not to return to his hometown to show off.

Including Taikang Tianzi, they all thought so, otherwise he would not have specially sent five hundred Lin Wei to Li Xin to support the pomp.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, this is human nature.

But Li Xin really didn't come back to pretend to be forced.

At least I didn't come back on purpose to pretend to be forced.

The most important reason for this is because he is not the same Li Xin anymore, or not simply the original Li Xin.

If it is the original Li Xin, with today's achievements, it is estimated that he will return to Yongzhou as soon as possible to settle the old things of the year, but anyone who has scolded him for wild seeds will be hung up and whipped.

Several uncles hung directly in front of their mother's grave.

If you are a little more violent, it is possible to copy your grandfather's house.

However, today's Li Xin is not so boring.

He just wanted to avoid the cusp of the capital, he simply wanted to build a grave for his mother, and he simply wanted to come to the southwest to do something.

Today's Marquis Li didn't even take his grandfather and uncles to heart when he didn't let his mother enter his ancestral hometown, he didn't plan to contact them, nor did he plan to go to the door to settle old accounts.

He really just came back to repair the grave.

At the foot of Qishan, there is a simple market, although it is simple, but it is a place to buy things from several nearby villages, when Li Xin lived on Qishan in the past, the things in this market were not sold to their mother and son, only the uncle made a trip, these mountain people were willing to sell them things.

For this reason, Li Xin in the early years often came here to make trouble.

Li Xin took Zhong Xiaoxiao's hand and walked in the market, pointing to a certain place from time to time, and telling the little girl some old things back then.

The two of them walked slowly through the market, and none of them dared to recognize Li Xin.

When he left Qishan, Li Xin was a poor boy wearing patches, and now Li Xin is wearing a fur suit, and his clothes are enough for ordinary people for a year or even several years, and these people naturally don't think that Li Xin is the wild seed at the beginning.

It wasn't until Li Xin walked to the foot of the mountain that he heard a timid voice.

"Letter...... Brother Xin? ”

It was the voice of a teenager.

Li Xin looked back and saw that a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a basket of mountain goods in one hand, should have come to the market to sell things, and he looked at Li Xin with some anxiety, for fear that he would recognize the wrong person.

Dusty memories welled up in my heart.

The boy's surname is Lin, the son of Orion at the foot of Qishan Mountain, two years younger than Li Xin, and he should be ten... Six years old.

His name is Lin Hu.

In the early years, Li Xin and his mother lived in the mountains, and their lives were very hard, especially when Li Xin was young, the mother and son often didn't see meat all year round, and they were the hunters of this family surnamed Lin, and occasionally sent some things to Li Xin's house, not a lot of things, but they were also mindful.

Later, Li Xin grew up a little and could run all over the mountains, so he went to the mountains to catch some game by himself, at that time, Lin Hu was following Li Xin's ass, Brother Xin called Brother Xin.

The lives of the mother and son have only slowly improved a little bit.

But it still doesn't work.

Because the people at the foot of the mountain did not recognize them, Li Xin could not sell the things he hit, and he could only sell them for some money through his uncle or the Lin family.

All in all, in another Li Xin's memory, in the entire Qishan, there is only one good family like the Lin family.

Seeing that Li Xin didn't answer him, Lin Hu thought that he had recognized the wrong person, so he hurriedly lowered his head and prepared to leave.

Li Xin smiled at him.

"Huzi."

Lin Hu was stunned, then jumped up directly, his eyes were slightly red: "Brother Xin, it's really you, those people said you can't come back......"

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "It's to go to the capital to find relatives, and it's not to send him to death, why can't he come back?" ”

Lin Hu asked, "Brother Xin, have you found your father?" ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"He's dead."

Lin Hu believed it and comforted: "Brother Xin, you don't have to be sad, anyway, there has been no him for so many years, let's come over the same, go, my father hunted a deer yesterday, I asked him not to sell it, go to my house to eat venison!" ”

Li Xin smiled: "After I returned to Qishan, I haven't had time to go home yet, so when I go home to take a look and put a grave on A-Niang, I will go to your house to find you." ”

Lin Hu sighed, then glanced at Zhong Xiaoxiao in Li Xin's hand, wanted to ask but didn't ask, and ran away with the mountain goods in his hand.

He has eaten better than Li Xin since he was a child, and Li Xin couldn't beat him when he was twelve or thirteen years old, but this person has no bad intentions, and he has always called Li Xin brother since he was a child.

After Lin Hu walked away, several big men standing behind Li Xin silently put down the hand pressed on the hilt.

These are Yu Linwei who protects Li Xin with him, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and those in the capital who want Li Xin to die may not be able to do it here.

Shaking his head, Li Xin set out on the way up the mountain.

There are several villages at the foot of Qi Mountain, but there are very few people living on the mountain, and in the past, Li Xin's family lived in the mountain, and even Lin Lihu lived at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore there is no way up the mountain.

There used to be a path that Li Xin "opened up" by himself, but he didn't come back for more than a year, and this path is gone.

A few plainclothes Yu Linwei walked in front of Li Xin very sensibly, pulled out the horizontal knife in his waist, and opened the way for Li Xin.

When it was almost noon, Li Xin finally saw the thatched house in his memory.

This thatched hut was built in a vacant lot halfway up the mountainside, and the place was not large, not even a fence, and it was even more simple than the small wooden hut of the charcoal seller.

It was early spring, and some weeds had grown on the adobe walls that had not been inhabited for more than a year, and a mushroom had even risen from the wooden door.

He pointed to the thatched house, smiled at Zhong Xiaoxiao and said, "Girl, look, this is where my brother grew up." ”

Zhong Xiaoxiao held Li Xin's hand tightly, looked left and right for a while, and then said, "It's good, it's not cold here." ”

Li Xin held her in his arms and grinned: "It's not good in summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, and they can bite people to death." ”

Mosquitoes in the mountains can bite people to death, and my mother is a weak woman, who suffers a lot because of mosquitoes every summer, and often can't sleep night after night.

Li Xin hugged the little girl and walked to the back of the thatched house, about forty or fifty steps away, there was an inconspicuous small mound.

There are no tombstones in front of the mound, and the mound is overgrown with weeds.

Li Xin put Zhong Xiaoxiao down, first cleaned up some of the weeds on the grave, and then he tidied up his clothes, knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully to the small mound.

"Mother, I'm coming back to see you..."

This mother, Li Xin shouted naturally, and naturally blurted out, as if he had been shouting for more than ten years.

He bowed his head and kowtowed: "My son is doing well now, he can take care of himself, you are underground, rest assured......"

Zhong Xiaoxiao also knelt down like Li Xin and kowtowed to this small mound.

After she finished kowtowing, she raised her head and said crisply.

"Mother, Xiaoxiao has also come to see you..."
