Chapter Twenty-Eight: Where the Future Comes From

Hearing his mother's cry, Lu Zheng finally couldn't help but cry loudly, and the white dog surrounded the mother and son who were crying with their heads in their arms, and kept circling and barking loudly. For a time, the sound of crying and barking dogs resounded throughout the valley.

I cried for a long time, until I smelled a very strong smell of burning, Ziyan reacted, and before she came out, she was still frying vegetables, so she quickly let go of Lu Zheng and ran in. Seeing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, but when he saw his mother running over with a spatula again, she grabbed Lu Zheng and pulled him to run into the house. Lu Zheng began to be startled, and then realized that his mother was afraid that he would disappear again.

After retreating from the fire in the stove, Zi Yan stopped stir-frying, but pulled Lu Zheng back into the house, then pressed Lu Zheng on the bed and sat down, then pressed Lu Zheng's shoulders with both hands, looked at Lu Zheng carefully, and swept her supple gaze on Lu Zheng's face, as if she couldn't see enough, and after a while, her eyes turned red, tears filled her eyes, and big tears rolled down and slid onto her face. Lu Zheng's nose was sour, he reached out to wipe the tears from his mother's face, and finally shouted in front of his biological mother for the first time in his life: "Mother!"

When Zi Yan heard this, she let out another wow, and hugged Lu Zheng in her arms and cried. Lu Zheng hugged his mother, patted her back gently, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, I'm back, I'm back to you, don't cry." "The voice was as soft as coaxing a child.

Zi Yan cried for a while, then slowly suppressed her tears, looked at Lu Zheng again and again, and finally laughed. Lu Zheng also giggled with her. Zi Yan smiled when she saw him, and hugged him in her arms again. hugged tightly, and said: "Child, child, this is not my mother's dream! Do you know that since you disappeared, my mother looks forward to your return every day, thinking that my child will not be so ruthless and does not want me, always thinking that one day you will come back to find my mother, but after waiting for a long time, you always do not come back."

My mother thinks about you every day, and I always dream about you. Every time I dream that you are back. waved at my mother from afar and called me loudly. But I was so happy, but when I ran to pick you up, you were gone. It scared me out of the way. Only then did I know that Lu Dao was dreaming again. This time I dreamed and dreamed. Mother thought she would never see you again in her life...... It's okay now, you're back, and my mother finally sees you. Even if she dies soon, her mother will be able to close her eyes. ”

Lu Zheng was extremely sour when he heard this, and choked up: "Mother, I also think about you every day, if I had known that you were here, I would have come to you a long time ago." ”

As they spoke, the mother and son began to cry again, and after a long time they slowly stopped, and the two of them cried for a while, talking for a while, and laughing for a while. Gradually, from just a few words, they told their respective experiences.

Zi Yan is simple, her previous experience, Lu Zhengdu has already known about the Tao, since the loss of the child, she has been living in this hut, basically with the white wolf turned into a white dog as a companion, there used to be a concubine to accompany her, but soon after, Concubine'er got married, and because she is Ziyan's sister, several nearby villages know about their family, and no family dares to ask her, so Concubine'er marries far away, so there is almost no way to go home to visit her.

Within a few years, his parents passed away due to illness. Zi Yan knew that this had something to do with herself. Parents worry about their own affairs day and night, since the child was lost, the two old people not only asked people to inquire, but Zi Yan's father often went out to find it himself. But even the white wolf can't do anything, how can he find it with him as a mortal man? It's just that he feels that he owes something to Zi Yan in his heart, so he is bent on finding the child as compensation for Zi Yan. Therefore, after years of hard work, he finally became ill and died not long after. Zi Yan's mother broke her liver and intestines because of this, and it didn't take long for her to leave with Zi Yan's father.

In this way, in the end, only Zi Yan was left alone, and she finally completely cut off contact with the people in the village, and lived alone in this hut with the white dog, looking forward to the return of the child day and night. And she also believes that her children will definitely come back to find her, relying on this belief, she survived strongly, waiting day by day, looking forward to day by day, but she didn't expect to finally come out and look forward to this day.

Lu Zheng looked at his mother, although she was full of snow-white white hair, her appearance was very young, and she did not age at all, just like when he first saw her picking mulberry leaves in the mulberry forest in the phantom of the Sansheng Stone. It's just that there is a sense of sorrow between her eyebrows, and with her divine sense, her inner vitality is very dim, and it is not commensurate with her appearance. He knew that his mother's face was not old, it should be because she ate the fruit brought by the white wolf, but the white hair was because she disappeared at the beginning, and she suddenly turned white, as for the weakness of life, it was naturally because of long-term longing, which consumed her spirit.

Seeing that his mother was so affectionate to him, Lu Zheng secretly thought about how to strengthen the vitality in his mother's body and let her live longer. And when Zi Yan asked him where he had gone all these years and how he was doing, Lu Zheng lied. He didn't say that he was brought to the street of Qinglong Temple by the jade pendant, and was later adopted by a beggar and became a beggar for so many years. Instead, he said that he was taken to practice by an old immortal, and he practiced spells diligently every day, and only recently did he be allowed to go home to visit his mother after he had successfully cultivated spells. The old immortal was very good to himself, and he also named himself Lu Zheng. When he said this, he was naturally afraid that his mother would be sad for him. And this story was also heard from the storyteller in the past, and it happened to be used on himself.

Zi Yan naturally believed what her child said, and she had no opinion on the child's name Lu Zheng, because she had no father when she was pregnant with a child, and it was not easy to disobey the name given by the old fairy. It's just that he complained a little about the old fairy, saying that the immortal shouldn't be so ruthless, and that he should at least tell her when he takes the child away, and that he has to let the child come back and be with him for some time every year. When Lu Zheng heard this, he could only nod his head and say yes.

Zi Yan saw that Lu Zheng was well-behaved and sensible, had a soft temperament, and was very filial and obedient, so she was even more satisfied, so she pulled Lu Zheng and asked about the west, and chatted until late at night before she remembered to ask Lu Zheng if he had eaten. Lu Zheng replied with a smile that no, and Zi Yan hurriedly lit the lamp and went to the kitchen to cook. Since giving birth to Lu Zheng, the white wolf has stopped sending fruits, and after the white wolf turned into a white dog, he has sent all kinds of rice, flour, meat, etc., and I don't know where Lu Dao got it. Zi Yan asked a few times, but the white dog didn't answer.

Zi Yan was busy cooking for Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng volunteered to help his mother. Zi Yan was also reluctant to part with him, so she naturally agreed with a smile, praising the child for being sensible. The two went out of the room, but saw the bright moon falling in the west, and the white dog was lying in the moonlight at the door, and saw the two of them come out, swishing up from the ground, changing back to the body of the white wolf, the body was twice as large as before, and fell down on the two of them, as if kneeling.

Zi Yan had long been accustomed to the actions of this white wolf, and she didn't care, and casually asked Lu Zheng if this white wolf was sent by the old immortal to take care of him. Lu Zheng didn't understand the reason, so he had to deal with the past vaguely, but he had a plan in his heart, and he had to avoid his mother when he asked where the white wolf came from.

Lighting a fire to cook, the mother and son ate at the same table, Lu Zheng thought that his mother had been crying just now, so he made up some jokes for his mother when he was practicing, and also used the power of the royal thing to move some things to his mother in the air, so that Zi Yan greatly praised the child for his ability, which is amazing.

After eating, the night was already very deep, Zi Yan pulled Lu Zheng to sleep with her, she stretched out her hand to cushion Lu Zheng's head, and held Lu Zheng in her arms. Lu Zheng smelled the breath of his mother's body, but it was difficult to close his eyes, with his practice, even if he didn't sleep every day, as long as he sat down and practiced, he was naturally full of energy. Sleeping in his mother's arms at this time gave him an indescribable taste and completely calmed his heart. He gently told himself that this was the real home, and he went home.

In the days that followed, Lu Zheng lived with Zi Yan, helping Zi Yan live and cook every day, or watching Zi Yan spin and weave, or walking in the mountains with the white wolf. The white wolf turned into a white dog again, looking cute and cute. Lu Zheng had already quietly asked him about his origin in private, but the white wolf did not say. Lu Zheng sensed that there seemed to be something hidden in it, but he remembered that the white wolf had taken care of his mother for so long after all, and it was not easy to force it, so he gave up.

As the days passed, Lu Zheng gradually got used to this kind of life, and before he knew it, a year had passed. In the past year, he has been with Zi Yan and has lived a very happy life, as if he has forgotten that he was brought here by Ziyan, and he has forgotten everything in the cultivation world, and the man in white in that jade pendant has never said anything to him again. He was now living with his mother extremely happily, everything was very satisfied, and he felt that this was the life he wanted, the life he really needed, and the things in the cultivation world were already too far away from him, as if it was an unattainable dream. Under Zi Yan's teaching, he cultivated a piece of land and planted a lot of vegetables, and the most important thing he did every day was to go to the vegetable field to weed, catch insects, and harvest vegetables.

One day, he suddenly remembered Tang Xiaojiu, he hadn't avenged Brother Jiu yet, but this thought only flashed in his heart, and it didn't touch him anything. Another day, Zi Yan mentioned that Lu Zheng was not too young, and he had to find a beautiful daughter-in-law for him. Lu Zheng thought of Xin'er, and thought of how good it would be for a family of three to live together if Xin'er was also here. But then I thought that my heart was still far away in the cultivation world, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it was impossible to come. So he broke off this thought, and happily asked his mother what kind of girl she wanted to introduce to him.

An inexplicable change is taking place in Lu Zheng's body, which he can't notice by himself. He loved the life in front of him more and more, and with his mother, he felt that everything was very satisfying. He became reluctant to leave, forgetting many things that had happened, and he began to become a little confused, but he seemed to be very clear. He felt that he had got what he wanted, that his soul was incredibly comfortable, at ease, and content, and that he had nothing to do. (To be continued......)
