The grandson of the Lin family and the father and son of the Yan family said goodbye to the tall and thin old heavenly master, and asked the coachman to drive to Yubei County.

There were four people in the car, only Master Yan's face was unhappy, and he was worried.

Yan Hong was triumphant at this time because Lin Qing helped him out. Lin Qing ate that delicious meal again after many years, and he was also satisfied. Grandpa sat on the side and didn't have any expression, his face was flat, and he couldn't see why.

Master Yan glanced at Yan Hong, who was full of joy, and said, "Daddy told you, in the future, when you are outside, you must keep a low profile, and you can't be as reckless as you are today!" Yan Hong looked disappreliant after hearing this, and said with a "hum": "Who made that little second think that we are easy to bully!" ”

Seeing that Yan Hong didn't listen to persuasion, Master Yan's face was even more ugly, but it was not the kind that wanted to get angry, it was more like a worry. Old Man Yan frowned and said, "Oh, why don't you even listen to your father?!" ”

Lin Qing, who was sitting on the other side, heard the conversation between the two, so he also interjected: "Yan Hong, you can't use your Xuan power against the people in the future. The master often taught us that cultivating the Great Dao is meant to protect the people of the world. Yan Hong retorted: "I didn't even contribute just now, I just taught him a lesson!" What's more, you didn't just make a move, and you still said me! ”

Lin Qing looked helpless when Yan Hong said it, he looked at Yan Hong with a serious face and said, "I made a move because they are not ordinary people, and they want to hurt you." In the future, I will protect you in danger. But you have to promise me that you can't be like this again! ”

When Yan Hong heard Lin Qing's words, she was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Then you have to remember what you said!" ”

Lin Qing also nodded.

When Master Yan saw his son like this, he didn't say anything anymore, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed.

There is nothing wrong with being young and vigorous, and Yan Hong is not wrong to act for her father. I may not be able to bear it on anyone's body. But for Master Yan, he is a businessman, and he often has to come to Changling County to walk around. If you say a few more words, you don't feel the need to make a big fuss.

After a while, the car returned to calm, but Grandpa still had a flat face. It was as if he had never experienced this farce, nor had he listened to the conversation of several people.

Grandpa just sat quietly, and from time to time he would tease the curtain and look out the window.

The neat row of trees on the side of the road was reflected in Grandpa's eyes, like a cloud of smoke passing by quickly. Grandpa's eyes were deep, looking into the distance deeply.

……

……

After half an hour, the voice of the coachman came from the front of the carriage, and the county seat of Yubei was almost there.

Master Yan wanted to invite Grandpa to go to the house with Lin Qing for a light meal, but Lin Qing and Grandpa both said that they wanted to go to the village first. Master Yan didn't force it, so he got out of the car at the city gate and instructed the coachman to send the two back to the village.

Yan Hong got out of the car and saw the long-lost city and the familiar street scene in the city, so he threw off his father and rushed in, and Master Yan had to chase after him.

As you can tell from the city gate, this is a small county town. Compared with Changling County, the city tower of Yubei County, which is more than one zhang high, is indeed a bit shabby. The gate hole under the city can only accommodate one carriage, if it is a cart and three horses of the dignitaries and nobles, it is estimated that they have to get out of the car and walk in.

Entering the city, there is a main road as wide as the doorway, and the main road leads straight to the north. In the far north, there is a dojo surrounded by stone pillars.

On both sides of the main road are large and small side roads, and next to them are some vendors. Vendors know that only by setting up a stall at the intersection of the main road and the side road can they bump into more customers.

Yan Hong skillfully turned towards the third alley, and in the depths of the alley was the Yan family's house. The Yan Mansion is not large, and it is medium in Yubei County.

Yan Hong entered the courtyard gate and saw her mother sitting in the courtyard, so she pounced. The couple should have not seen each other for four years, and when the mother saw her child coming home, her eyes instantly turned red.

As Master Yan said, his aunt began to mumble when she saw Yan Hong. I feel that my son is being abused outside, and I always feel that I haven't eaten well and is not warm.

Yan Hong just had a simple smile on her face.

Not long after the two members of the Yan family entered the house, the visitor arrived. The first to come to the door were the people of the group, and soon after, the county guard Li Taishou also came to Yan's house. Yan's house was overcrowded, and the courtyard was also crowded with people. Mrs. Yan was helpless and couldn't take care of her, so she had to stay in the house, worrying alone that the furniture in the courtyard would not be trampled on.

Master Yan invited Mrs. Li to take a seat, and not long after he sat down, this old heavenly master also came to Yan's house. Master Yan had to give up his seat to the Heavenly Master again. For a while, inside and outside the house, the door was like a city.

The purpose of everyone coming is also very simple, this Yan family has a descendant and entered Tianze Courtyard, which is something that Yubei County has not had for many years. This is a happy event in the county, of course, you have to come and have a good time by the way.

Yan Hong is no longer the shy child she was back then, and now sitting next to her father, there is no discomfort. Several people in the room chatted happily, and drank one pot of tea after another. Yan Hong didn't know how many compliments she had heard, and she was a little impatient now. I wanted to get up and find a quiet place several times, but I was stopped by Grandpa.

A few people in the room chatted for a while, and the old heavenly master asked, "I heard that the Lin family and the two of them also went back to the county town with the two of them?" ”

Master Yan was a little puzzled and said, "Uncle Lin and his grandson are indeed traveling with Yan, but how did you know about it?" Do you know them? ”

The old man waved his hand, looked at Li Taishou next to him and smiled: "It's not an acquaintance, but such a genius boy is from my county, how can there be no news!" After the old man finished speaking, Gu Zi laughed.

When Yan Hong heard that Lin Qing was praised as a genius boy, not only did she not feel jealous, but she was even more proud. Master Yan next to him answered: "The grandfather and grandson wanted to go back to the old house first, so Yan sent someone to send it, and the coachman should have come back at this time." ”

Hearing this, the old heavenly master stood up and said, "Can you let the coachman lead the old Taoist to visit, the old Taoist has been blessed a few years ago, and he should go over to visit." ”

Li Taishou, who was sitting next door, also got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Seeing this, Master Yan said: "Since this is the case, then Yan will lead the way and go to visit this grandson together!" ”

Then they got up and hurried out of the city. Yan Hong explained a few words to A-Niang, and then chased after her.

……

……

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, Grandpa asked the coachman to drive back to the county seat, and walked back to the house with Qing'er.

An old man and a young man walked on this country road again, and neither the grandfather nor grandson spoke. Lin Qing didn't see excitement on his face, and Grandpa didn't see sadness on his face. The two of them just walked straight to the village, where there was a house.

Not long after leaving, a small house appeared in front of the two of them.

When Grandpa saw the house, he smiled knowingly. When Lin Qing saw the scene in front of him, his face was indeed full of indescribable emotion.

It is a tiled house made of adobe bricks, and there is another hut next to the tiled house. Outside the house is a vacant lot, and there is a place overgrown with miscellaneous mornings, which should be the medicine of Grandpa's love medicine. The land around Yaopu looks like it has been turned over many times, and once it didn't look like it had been long.

The tiled house looked very old, and there were faint traces of ink at the gate, but the old couplets were incomplete and pale.

Lin Qing looked at the tiled house in front of him and felt that it was much smaller. He could now reach for the top of the door frame and raise his hand to change the latch on the door. As far back as he could remember, he had to stand on tiptoe to touch the knocker.

Lin Qing opened the door, and a complex smell of dirt and mold blew out in front of him. He reached out to cover his mouth and coughed lightly.

The furnishings are simple, with a blackened table and two benches opening the door, and the bedroom to the right. The bedroom is a simple wooden bed with a simple wooden shelf by the window. These scenes were not much different from the pictures in Lin Qing's mind, except that a thick layer of dust fell on the furniture.

Lin Qing took out a bench from the house, wiped it clean and asked Grandpa to sit down, and then Lin Qing sat down next to Grandpa.

Grandpa glanced at the tile house again, and then began to talk to Lin Qing about those past events.

"Qing'er, do you remember? It used to be a courtyard. When I was a child, you always said that you were afraid when you slept, so I surrounded you. ”

The old man used his fingers as he spoke, with a hint of a smile in his tone. "That's the time when Grandpa planted the medicine, when Grandpa used to take care of the herbs, you just sat next to it and stared at it." The old man pointed to the weedy field again.

Lin Qing didn't speak, just stared at the direction of Grandpa's finger and looked into his mind, and then a young face and the figure of an old man appeared in his mind.

When Lin Qing came back to his senses again, it was because of a group of noisy noises.

I saw two carriages coming in the distance, and many people were chasing after them. Lin Qing took a closer look and saw that the first car was the one that the Yan family had sat in. But he had never seen the second one, and there were all the people who followed him, and he didn't know what he meant.

The carriage stopped, and Yan Hong was the first to bear the brunt. Yan Hong saw Lin Qing's face excited, and informed that someone was coming to see them.

Then Master Yan and the old heavenly master and Li Taishou in the carriage behind also got out of the car, and Lin Qing and Grandpa went up to greet them, and the other two returned the salute.

"The Heavenly Master and Li Taishou heard that you and your grandson are back, so they are going to visit!" Master Yan opened his mouth first.

"In that case, please be seated." The old man motioned for Qing'er to move the bench to the front. Lin Qing then took out another one from the house, wiped it clean, and put it behind Grandpa and Master Yanyan, and then stood beside the two with Yan Hong.

At this time, there was a group of people around the house, both adults and children. It was rare for everyone to see the county guard come to the village, but they didn't know what it was.

"First of all, the old man would like to thank the old man for sending medicine!" After a few people spoke, the Heavenly Master got up and saluted Grandpa. Seeing this, Grandpa hurriedly helped the other party up, and replied: "With a lot of effort, why worry about it for many years!" The two were polite to each other again.

"I heard that Ling Sun worshipped Xuandu Dean Huayang Zhenren as a teacher?"

"Thanks to the dean's view of Qing'er, it is really a blessing for Qing'er!" Grandpa replied.

The Heavenly Master looked surprised when he heard this, and then glanced at Li Taishou beside him, and the two nodded to each other. Although I have heard rumors about it for a long time, I am obviously very surprised to hear such news with my own ears today. Then he praised Lin Qing's extraordinary talent, and Lin Qing had to scratch his head embarrassedly.

Several people chatted outside the house for a long time before getting up to say goodbye, and Master Yan wanted the two to go to the city for the night, but the two refused. Xiao Taishou immediately interjected and sent someone to bring clothes and quilts.

Soon after the two carriages left, people from the village came to the small house from time to time.

Some came to chat, some came to see the excitement, and some came to inquire about what this Taishou and the old heavenly master came to say.

When everyone learned that these two had come to visit the team of grandchildren, the grandchildren instantly became celebrities in the village. Later, it gradually spread the news that Qing'er had entered Tianze Courtyard and worshipped a certain big man as a teacher. For the next few days, there was no peace in the little house. Every day is like weaving, and the door is like a market.

The two couldn't stand the noise, so they had no choice but to hide in the city.

The small house has rarely returned to its former peace, and there are no more admiring people to visit, just like back then.

As usual, smoke rises from the village, making the quiet village a little more popular.

It's just that this old and young man didn't appear on that familiar country road again.
