Chapter 2044: Mountain Village, People
This sudden change made the surrounding villagers stunned on the spot, especially the three people who wanted to help Li Wei speak, with their mouths wide open and the sound of "ho ho ho" coming from their throats. The three of them were also green. In his prime, Li Yan secretly followed Li Yan into the mountains for hunting when he was a child. They often took Li Yan with them. At this time, they looked at the kneeling young man who was much taller than the old woman. They couldn't help but take a closer look, and soon learned from Li Yan. On his face, he could vaguely see the thin boy from back then.
"It's really Brother Yan, haha!"
"Yes, he is really the fifth child in his family."
"Did you eat something? How come you have grown so tall and strong after not seeing each other for a few years? I'm afraid Uncle Guoxin and Danniu are not as strong as they are." A smile appeared on the three people's faces.
Such changes happened so fast. In fact, the people who were most surprised were Gong Chenying and Zhao Min who were slowly approaching behind Li Yan. They looked at this scene and as the old woman cried out in grief, their hearts filled with tears. Feeling sour, the circles under his eyes turned red invisibly.
Gong Chenying looked at the people huddled in front of her. A stern face appeared in her eyes, but in the eyes of that face there was a trace of love that made her feel warmer. She whispered in her heart, "Abba, what are you doing now?" How is it?…”
Zhao Min clenched her lips under the green gauze of her bamboo hat, and a faint memory and sadness arose in her heart. "At that time, have you ever thought about how I felt? Is family glory really that important?"
After a long time, Li Yan slowly stood up amidst his mother's reluctant expression, while the old woman still held Li Yan's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Li Yan would disappear accidentally.
"Haha, Lao Wu, you are finally back. Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu, why don't you bring the child over here quickly? This is Lao Wu, my brother." Li Wei looked at Li Yan in front of him, his eyes full of smiles, like Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly turned back to look at the young woman who was holding Xiao Wu. She was looking here with curiosity. Li Wei couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, but kept repeating the two words "Lao Wu" in his words. It’s just a word, as if I’m afraid others won’t know.
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly hugged the child and walked over. She gently brushed her waist and said, "I've met uncle."
Hearing this, Li Yan hurriedly returned the greeting, "Oh, oh, Li Yan has met my sister-in-law." Then he looked at the child with big eyes, smiled and said to Li Wei, "Third brother, is this my nephew? "After saying that, he stretched out a hand to stroke the child's black hair, but the child was pressed on the head by Li Yan's big hand, and his little mouth couldn't help but pout. However, after the grandfather just scolded him, he did not dare to speak out for a while. .
"Yes, yes, he is your nephew. His name was given by his father, and he is called Li Wenwu." Li Wei looked at his son, and even when his relatives asked, he felt proud in his heart.
"You are good at literature and martial arts, Dad, could it be that you also stole the knowledge of the old scholar back then." Li Yan suddenly spoke and chuckled.
"You..." Uncle Chang couldn't help but stare when he heard this. He was about to curse, but suddenly he saw two people standing behind Li Yan. They were clearly two women, so he couldn't help but give Li Yan a fierce look. .
Li Yan then remembered that he had not introduced the two girls yet, and when he was about to introduce them, the three villagers had already walked over, and they all smiled and said, "Brother Yan, where did you come back from?"
"Brother Yan, I heard that you have become a high-ranking official, but you have never looked back. But your parents are very anxious. I am not telling you that you have done this out of proportion.
. "
"What do you two know? Brother Yan must have something important to do, or it's inconvenient to explain. Otherwise, why have we lost news for several years and not even sent a letter from home?"
Li Yan watched the three people walking over while chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but salute them. These three people had taken good care of him when he was young in the mountains.
"What the three brothers said is that I did not do things well, and I must pay attention to it in the future."
While he was talking, several more people came towards him from the nearby fields, and Chang Bo happily greeted them.
"My little brat is back. Take a look. Even if you meet him while waiting outside, you won't be able to recognize him."
"Hey, look at this, he really is Li Yan. We haven't seen him for a few years, he is really a good man, but he looks like he is ready to go hunting in the mountains."
"What are you talking about? Li Yan still needs to go hunting in this skin-packed outfit. What is this called? It's called 'Returning Home in Brocade', right?"
"By the way, Li Yan, I heard from Guoxin that you were promoted to a senior official, but you didn't bring any followers with you this time. Those two are..."
Several villagers who came over, old and young, spoke one after another, and the field became lively for a while.
Following everyone's conversation, everyone's eyes invariably glanced at the two people standing behind them without making a sound.
Li Yan took his mother's hand and rolled his eyes, "Mother, I am coming back this time. Because I have an important position, there are some things that I cannot make public. The two people who came with me are also members of the court." After that, he said to him The two girls smiled and nodded.
Gong Chenying and Zhao Min had always had feelings for each other. They were lowering their heads and thinking. When they heard Li Yan speaking over there, the two women looked at each other. After hesitation, Gong Chenying moved forward lightly with lotus steps. The graceful lotus room had arrived. In front of everyone, Hao Hao raised his wrist lightly, took off his bamboo hat and green gauze, looked at Li Yan and looked at her with a smile, her cheeks were already flushed, and she said in a low voice like a mosquito, "Chen Ying has met the two elders." After that, Feeling that his cheeks were on fire, he lowered his head.
Although men and women in Huangyue Continent avoid suspicion, the general folk customs are still simple and open, and there are still not many women who stay at home and stay at home.
Just as Gong Chenying finished speaking, Zhao Min bit her lower lip and walked forward. However, she was usually colder and more silent than Gong Chenying. She also took off her bamboo hat with a flick of her hand. In an instant, With green hair like a waterfall and a complexion like jade, he bowed gently to the old woman and Uncle Chang, and then stood behind Gong Chenying with his head lowered. She really didn't know what expression to make, and she was afraid that her cold appearance would be misunderstood, so she simply bowed her head after bowing and said nothing.
The moment the two girls took off their bamboo hats and green gauze, the May sun seemed to lose its color for an instant. Everyone except Li Yan stared blankly at the two girls, their eyes widened, and there was silence all around. , when had they ever seen such a quiet person, they had never imagined it in their dreams, and they stood speechless for a moment.
In the deathly silence, a clear child's voice suddenly broke the silence, "Wow, the two sisters are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairy sisters in the New Year pictures." Xiao Wu stood on the ground with his big eyes flashing, pointing at the two sisters.
The girl giggled and said as if she wanted to break away from Xiaoyu's hand and wanted to hug the two girls. Xiaoyu grabbed Xiaowu who was struggling forward.
"Immortal, this is a fairy," Xiaoyu murmured, and she instantly felt ashamed of herself.
The old woman looked at the fairy-like person in front of her with her mouth open. After a long while, she turned to look at Li Yan with a smile on his face, then looked at the two girls again, and slowly her eyes revealed There was an unprecedented light, and a smile that had not been seen for a long time appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Uncle Chang also looked at his son with a strange look on his face. The two women in front of him seemed to be members of a famous family, but he didn't know what kind of relationship they had with Li Yan.
The other villagers around him continued to breathe in the cold air, and their eyes on Li Yan became extremely exciting.
Li Yan looked at everyone looking at him, and the silence here was a bit strange. His mother's eyes were also flashing terrifyingly, and she seemed to be much younger in an instant. He felt a little nervous in the two girls behind him. Even though he had expected it, it still made them very uncomfortable.
After he coughed dryly, he said softly, "This is the daughter of Imperial Physician Gong." He pointed at Gong Chenying, and then pointed at Zhao Min, "This is the daughter of Marshal Zhao of Northern Xinjiang." Anyway, he was just talking nonsense. Just tell the monks waiting here, and they will take care of the rest. Thinking about this trivial matter, it is impossible for the Blood Leaf Sect and others to deal with it, not to mention that with the abilities of my parents and Uncle Guo Xin, they can't find much at all. .
"Ah, she is actually the palace physician and the marshal's daughter?" After hearing this, the people around them suddenly had an idea in their minds that they could not believe at all.
Although they were remote villagers, they still knew the words "palace" and "marshal". They never expected that the two extremely beautiful women in front of them had such great backgrounds.
"Little bastard... Lao Wu, what official position do you hold now?" After a while, Chang Bo couldn't help but asked doubtfully. There were so many ups and downs in this moment of great sadness and joy, and he knew that he had never been in such a mood today in half his life. There were many people, but he was also the first to wake up among them.
"Dad, I am serving under Marshal Zhao. I cannot tell you about the specific matters." Li Yan had already prepared his words and opened his mouth. However, when he mentioned that he was serving under Marshal Zhao, he clearly felt someone beside him. Zhao Min's delicate body trembled, and what he saw in his squinting eyes was that Zhao Min glared at him fiercely, while Gong Chenying seemed to lower his head and suppress a smile.
"Oh, it turns out that I am serving under Miss Zhao's father, that is, a military aircraft, so don't ask, don't ask." After hearing this, Chang Bo still had doubts in his heart, but he also knew the rules and knew that some things in the army were not allowed. Asking further suppressed the confusion in my heart.
Li Yan's mother opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't ask. She didn't know how long it would take for Li Yan to come back this time. This was what made her most uneasy. But when she saw this scene, she felt... I didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that everyone was still waiting to ask questions, Chang Bo waved his hand, "Lao Wu, since we have a distinguished guest here, this is not the place to talk, so we will go home."
After the others listened, they suddenly realized that what Chang Bo said was true, how the fields were a place for long conversations, and they spoke with envy and admiration.
Surprised, they all said goodbye to Chang Bo's family, said hello to Li Yan, and everyone went about their own business, but a few people ran directly towards the village.
Li Yan secretly glanced at the two girls and saw that they had gradually regained their composure. They were also smiling and nodding to say hello to the person leaving. However, Zhao Min's smile was still a little cold, but this was extremely rare for her, and she couldn't help but feel in her heart. He smiled and said, "Well, let's talk about it when we get back. Dad, Mom, you go ahead. Third brother and I will finish the rest of the work in the field and then go back."
When the old woman heard this, she quickly tightened Li Yan's hand, as if she was afraid that he would leave, and said repeatedly, "Lao Wu, we won't do this until tomorrow, and we will go back together." Chang Bo also remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Yan felt sour in his heart. He knew that his lack of news in recent years had made his parents too worried. He patted his mother on the shoulder, "Then let's go back together. I will harvest the rest in the fields tomorrow. But this is It’s better to pull back the wheat sheaves at the head of the field.”
"Mom, what Lao Wu said is right. The harvested wheat cannot be scattered here like this. I'll go pull the cart over." Li Wei also spoke up when he saw this. After that, he wanted to pull the cart parked on the road not far away. Looking at the limping third brother, Li Yan took a few steps forward and rushed in front of Li Wei, "Third brother, I'll go and pull it." After that, he walked over, but when passing in front of Li Wei, he whispered to Li Wei, "Third brother, Miss Gong has inherited her father's true teachings. Her medical skills are unparalleled in the world. Your legs are fine this time."
When Li Wei heard these words, he suddenly paused and looked at Li Yan's back in disbelief, then slowly turned back and glanced at Gong Chenying. He felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, thinking that everything today was a dream, which was extremely incredible in his eyes.
How did he know that Li Yan had already considered healing his leg before he came. With Li Yan's current ability, this was extremely simple, and he didn't even need to use elixirs. Li Wei's ankle was injured in the tendons and veins, which delayed the treatment time, causing the tendons and veins to atrophy and blood circulation to be blocked. Now he only needed to use his spiritual power to heal him, but that would be too shocking, so he had already found a reason to give Gong Chenying a reputation as a royal family doctor. When the time came, Gong Chenying only needed to pretend and use spiritual power and some warming elixirs to slightly adjust it.
Soon, the cart was loaded with bundles of wheat and oranges, but Li Wei's family had no cattle or horses, so they had to rely on manpower to pull the cart. The silver that Li Yan left earlier had been spent after building a new house and Li Wei got married. Li Wei would not touch the remaining money no matter what. Spending so much money had made Li Wei feel guilty towards Li Yan all these years, so he wanted to take good care of his parents, which was considered as his promise to Li Yan.
When they were carrying the wheat bundles onto the cart, he told Li Yan in private that when Li Yan came back this time, he would move back to the old house and give the new rooms to Li Yan. Li Yan bumped Li Wei with his shoulder, winked at him, and then, as if hiding from others, secretly revealed a small opening of a cloth bag around his waist, which was golden and yellow, making Li Wei almost scream. Li Yan smiled, put away the cloth bag, and asked Li Wei in a low voice whether he wanted to take his parents to Qingshanai to do business, then he carried the wheat bundle and strode away. Li Wei was dizzy and couldn't reply. Everything was unreal.
