Small bridges and flowing water, dead trees and crows.

Yi Chu walked on this increasingly familiar path, looking at the scene of unknown little flowers competing on the side of the road, the whole person seemed to fly, at this time, he couldn't wait to fly to his home all at once, to see his parents.

Yi Chu looked at the yellow hillside in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but rise with a burst of joy. Beyond the Huangshi Slope, it is only five miles away from the Yijia village where his family lives. His hometown of three years is about to appear at his feet.

Father, mother, calf, second egg...... , one figure after another, kept flashing in Yi Chu's heart. Unable to hide the excitement in his heart, his steps sped up a lot unconsciously, and if anyone saw Yi Chu walking at this time, they would definitely be surprised, because his step-by-step stride was three times faster than ordinary people.

People who can reach such a speed are at least people who have reached the third rank of martial arts, and there are not too many people who have reached the third rank at such a young age.

"Chu Wazi, are you Chu Wazi?" A happy voice came out of the mouth of an old farmer who returned with a hoe, looking at Yi Chu with a heroic face, he shouted in disbelief.

Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar voice, Yi Chu stopped. glanced at the old farmer in coarse cloth clothes, and then exclaimed: "Uncle Gan, Uncle Gan, you are in good health!"

"Hahaha, it's really Chu Wazi, have you come back from being a soldier?" The old godfather looked at Yi Chu's cyan tights and asked happily.

"Yes, old uncle, I'm back from being a soldier. The war between our country and the country of Dora is over, and His Majesty the Emperor has let us go home separately. When Yi Chu said that the war was over, there was a hint of joy on his face, if it wasn't for the end of the war, he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

"Okay, finally don't fight, don't fight, wow, baby, the military side said, it's been a thousand years in the world!"

It's better to be home. Yi Chu looked at the old godfather who was as shriveled as an old elm tree, thinking about kissing him and loving his parents, his eyes became a little hot, and his heart became very soft, as if he was soaked in a pool of mountains and rivers warmed by the sun.

Old Uncle Gan looked at Yi Chu's elated back and muttered to himself, "Poor child." ”

This is the first time that Uncle Gan has called Yi Chu "baby", and he knows that after this period of happiness, this baby, this hard-working baby, will never be happy anymore!

Yi Chu didn't hear Uncle Gan's sigh, at this time, he was completely intoxicated with the joy of returning home. Seventeen went out for his father, three years of battlefield fighting, countless swords and swords, several reincarnations of life and death, and a few years of bloody knives, Yi Chu has changed a lot, he is stronger, his surname has also broadened, and his eyebrows and eyes have become wider and more comfortable. The teenager has grown into a hot-blooded young man who can take responsibility.

It's back, it's finally back alive!

Looking at the familiar land of his hometown, Yi Chu's heart fluttered and fluttered, like a happy bird imprisoned in a forest.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the village! This place that has haunted countless dreams! Yi Chuqiang held back the tears in the corners of his eyes, and greeted the familiar and strange villagers with a modest and clear smile on his face.

Yi Chu, who was excited, didn't notice that the neighbors looked abnormal, his heart was full of happiness, and there was no place to put anything else!

At this time, he couldn't wait to step home to see if his father still liked to carry the dark wine gourd and sip wine in the kang with taste, and he didn't know if the capable old mother had steamed fragrant and sweet jujube buns.

"Brother Yi Chu, are you back?" a sturdy man looked at Yi Chu and exclaimed in surprise.

Yi Chu, who was excited, looked at the changed face in front of him, and stepped forward and punched the man: "Erdan, you guy, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few years, and your kid actually jumped taller than me!"

"Brother Yi Chu......" Erdan looked at Yi Chu's back with pity, his face showed a hint of worry, he shouted something loudly, but he didn't know if Yi Chu could hear it.

"Erdan, I'll go home now, and when we eat later, you call the calf and come to my house together, let's have a good drink." Yi Chu shouted without looking back.

Turn an alley and you'll be almost at your home. A crooked-necked elm money tree appeared in Yi Chu's sight from afar.

Later, Yi Chu thought that it would only take less than three years to go from heaven to hell!

He barely recognized his home. The scorched elm trees, the blackened street walls, the collapsed courtyards, the sadness in the air, the lack of a dog, the absence of a pig, and the absence of a chicken, as if walking into a barren grassy beach. Yi Chu's legs were weak! I suddenly remembered the words of the old godfather: The military side said that it has been a thousand years in the world. He panicked so hard that he desperately slammed the door: "Dad! mother, open the door, open the door quickly!"

According to Yi Chu's experience in the army, he could completely see that no one had opened this door for a long time. He didn't know what the signs were hiding, and it worried him. But when he stopped in front of the door, he still had deep hope that his father and mother would just go out to work or visit the door.

"Dad, Dad, Mother, Mother, I'm back, my son is back!" Yi Chu shouted again, hoping that this voice could call his parents back.

"Brother Yi Chu, don't call it, uncle and aunt, they ......" The second egg, who ran over panting, looked at Yi Chu who was in a hurry, and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with my father?" Yi Chu chuckled in his heart, picked up the second egg, and asked urgently.

Erdan's weight is at least two hundred catties, and he is also a strong man in the countryside, but he was lifted up by the thin Yi Chu. "Brother Yi Chu, let go, you're about to strangle me!"

Erdan let out a pig-like howl, and his hands kept dancing and inserting, trying hard to break Yi Chu's hand that grabbed him by the collar. Helplessly, his strength is too far behind Yi Chu, and if he wants to break Yi Chu's hand, it is like a dragonfly rocking a pillar, and it has no effect at all.

Under the hard tearing of the second egg, Yi Chu finally let go of the second egg, and asked in a trembling voice: "Second egg, tell me, what happened to my father and my mother?"

"Brother Yi Chu, in the second year of your expedition, news came that you died in the Battle of Huyangguan. Hearing the news, the aunt fainted on the spot, and the uncle's body was not as good as the other, and in less than two months, the two elders both died. Erdan didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and whispered everything.

"Boom!"

Erdan's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they smashed into Yi Chu's heart. It's been three years, and his parents who have been thinking about it for a long time have just left! From then on, Yin and Yang are separated, and they will never see each other again!

In silence, the dusty door slowly opened.

It's like going back against the years, when you are a child, you don't know anything, your hungry eyes only stare at your own bowl, my father has to do heavy physical work, but he always hides in the stove house and secretly drinks porridge, and when he is really tired, he drinks two sips of inferior liquor...... The kindness of his father, bit by bit, is all in his heart, like a pearl hidden in a mussel shell.

On the dusty kang table, a dark gourd was prominently placed, it was the gourd that my father used to drink. The gourd is not big, you can hold it in one hand, and it is very cute when it is small and exquisite. When Yi Chu was a child, his favorite was his father's wine gourd, and now, the gourd is still there, but his father can no longer see it, stroking the small dark gourd, Yi Chu's heart is sour.

Now, he is back, but he is no longer his father and mother, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait!

"Brother Yi Chu, you have to take care of your health, although the uncle and aunt are gone, if they know it underground, they will definitely be glad that you can come back alive!"

"I know, Erdan, when I'm not at home, thank you for helping me take care of my father and mother. I'm fine, you can get busy first. Yi Chu, who was in pain, calmed down, patted Erdan's hand, and said softly.

The second egg didn't know what to say, but just snorted: "Brother Yi Chu, come to my house for dinner later, my mother has cooked a good meal, waiting for you." ”

After taking two steps, the second egg seemed to remember something, looked at Yi Chu twice, and then said hesitantly: "Brother Yi Chu, I am useless, I failed to keep your family's land, and it was all taken by your cousin." ”

Yi Chu, who had been silent for a while, didn't speak, just patted Erdan's shoulder. With the departure of Erdan, only Yi Chu was left alone in the room. Looking at this familiar everything, the smell of his father and mother came to his face, Yi Chu seemed to see his mother sitting in the stove room beckoning to him, there seemed to be a hot and spicy fragrance coming from the rising cooking smoke, Yi Chu's eyes were sour, and a stream of hot tears flowed out.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad.

In the battlefield, Yi Chu had bled and been injured, but he had never cried, but now, as if he was smoked by the smell of fireworks, he couldn't stop sore nose and couldn't stop crying.

Tears flowed down Yi Chu's face, fell to the ground, fell on the table, and fell on the dark gourd in Yi Chu's hand. He wept sadly for a long time, and tears flowed down like rain. Holding his father's wine gourd in his hand, he muttered "Mother, mother, mother---" and choked back the following words with tears.

Yi Chu, who was completely silent in pain, didn't notice that the dark gourd glowed with a trace of black light under the erosion of tears, and this black light was constantly expanding, just a moment of effort, it surrounded Yi Chu in it. Surrounded by this black light, Yi Chu fell asleep groggily.
