According to Liang Chuan's analysis, these people are probably not here for He Baozheng, but for his eldest son!
Robbery of He Baozheng can only earn you a truckload of mosquito coils, but kidnapping your own son is equivalent to robbing a treasury, and you can have as much money as you want in it!
Besides, given the status and relationship between Chang Gui and He Baozheng, it would be unreasonable to directly attack He Baozheng.
Even Liang Chuan was guessing that they might know Xiaocheng's skills. The group did not expect that Xiaocheng was so skilled that he could kill them like a chicken!
Chang Gui was a man with a secretive mind. He probably wanted to use He Baozheng to force Xiaocheng to submit, but Xiaocheng was too efficient in killing people. .
"Come back. After a few years of absence, Xinghua has become such a mess. The dignified Baozheng was robbed and killed by others. The murderer was his son-in-law. Word spread." .
He Baozheng gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "The news can't be spread. I didn't ask anyone to collect his body. I just threw it into the mountain to feed the wild animals. My miserable daughter was freed!"
'I went to the government a long time ago to report to the official, saying that he had not been home for a long time, so I gave him a favor and saved him from the bad temper of that bird!
It was not convenient for Liang Chuan to say anything at this time, but his thoughts were the same as He Baozheng's. There were so many men in the world, and it would be hard to miss such a man. Even if all the men were dead, they couldn't afford such a man!
This short journey of a few miles was the most bumpy in Liang Chuan's life. Even though several villages were separated from each other back then, Liang Chuan did not feel that these villages had changed so much.
Although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, Liang Chuan could already feel that the warm and peaceful atmosphere of this land had changed!
But what it became, he couldn't tell. He returned to Xinghua several times, and this time he felt the strangest. .
This place was once dilapidated, and the people suffered from poverty, with only a few households being the richest.
Ten years have passed, and there are countless more tile-roofed houses here than before. Being able to live in such a house means that the conditions are much better. I have to spend a lot of money to build such a house that is not afraid of wind and rain.
And the facilities on the road are the best in Xinghua. Even Yi Niang took the lead and spent a lot of money to build her hometown. The roads have also improved, and the dams by the river have been re-enclosed. These It is extremely convenient for people to travel in the new year, and they are less likely to suffer from many Nanxi disasters!
When people are poor, they only yearn for a bowl of rice porridge as thin as clear soup, which is happiness. However, when people can eat that bowl of porridge, they also think about happiness if they have a full body of brocade clothes, and then a luxurious house and a beautiful house. Juan, life is getting better and better, but people are becoming less and less happy. .
When Liang Chuan returned home, someone finally recognized him.
When Liang Chuan came back before, he was always treated like a hero in triumph, but not this time.
He found that even if the villagers in several villages recognized him, they would look at him with surprise, surprise, confusion, and even anger!
Liang Chuan himself couldn't figure out when he had offended these people.
At that moment, he even had a smile on his face. Although he didn't know her well, he still wanted to ask his aunt and uncle for their well-being. This was the most basic etiquette, and it was also out of his respect for this land.
A ball of flame hit a huge iceberg.
There was confusion and confusion in Liang Chuan's eyes.
These people clearly recognized themselves, but for some reason. .
Xiaocheng ran home quickly, and He Baozheng also turned the front of his car and drove Liang Chuan and his party slowly towards He Lu.
Along the way, I saw more such indifferent eyes, not only indifference, but also hatred!
Of course, there are also most people. These villagers still have the same warm and kind eyes as before.
Liang Chuan couldn't understand why some of the same people from back then had changed while others remained the same. .
The speed of the oxcart is very slow. This old ox can be regarded as the old man of He Lu. It has accompanied many people through a very difficult time.
Not even cows
He can talk, and can respond to a contented moo with just a handful of grass and beans. The whip used to drive cattle, He Baozheng, has not been used for a long time. At most, it is used to drive away small animals on cattle. For this old brother, he It is extremely reluctant to give up a heavy hand.
The mountains and the wind seem to be very quiet, just like more than ten years ago, the gentle mountain wind sneaked through the mountains in the north, caressing the treetops, passing through the fingers, crossing the hills and streams, causing the temperature of the earth to slowly drop, Plunging headlong into the rolling mountains in the south, the last message is above the vast sea, unobstructed!
Liang Chuan wanted to calm down and enjoy the peace of this moment, but found that his heart was drifting away from the land that accepted him the most.
The mountains have become unfamiliar, the water has become unfamiliar, and even the wind does not feel so lovely. It has been blowing for a long time, making people feel even more desolate!
I thought that when I returned to my long-lost hometown, I would feel extremely happy and relaxed. However, first I saw the scene in the fields, then I saw Lao Baozheng's disability, and then I encountered the indifference of my neighbors. Liang Chuan couldn't hold it in anymore. The past can only be the past, and everything may never go back.
I may not be able to keep this land for the rest of my life, and the old people will not be able to keep it. New things will continue to impact the home I have worked hard to build for most of my life. I have deep feelings for this land, but my children This may not be the case. In the future, they will definitely not be willing to guard this land like themselves.
Quite different from the lively scene he expected, He Lu was as quiet as he was at the door of his own house.
There was no sound of reading in the courtyard. Tsinghua Academy used to have the sound of reading far away. How come even this has changed?
Yang Xiu and Li Erhua were making bamboo weaving under the trees in the yard. I don’t know when an osmanthus tree as tall as a cabin grew in the yard. Liang Chuan clearly remembered that it didn’t exist back then. It was probably transplanted there at some time. The tree was dotted with yellow. The sweet-scented osmanthus exudes a fragrance from a distance.
The two of them glanced at Liang Chuan's return. They were a little excited and were about to stand up, but then restrained their expressions, hurriedly put away their handiwork and walked towards the house.
Liang Chuan was about to enter the house when he happened to see Liang Yue going out with her two and a half-year-old children, Liang Yu and Liang Zhixing, and holding a fish cage made by Li Erhua.
'You three, stop now!
There are three children, two older and one younger. Liang Zhixing and Liang Yue are similar in age, but the girl always develops earlier than the boy. She has eaten Cordyceps sinensis with Liang Chuan for several years, and her body is as strong as a calf. Looking at Liang Yue's extra growth With half his head raised, he has the air of a child king.
She hid the fish cage behind her. Liang Zhixing and Liang Yu protected the exposed fish cage on the left and right in a tacit understanding. The three of them formed a small human wall to block the fish cage.
Liang Chuan's heart was inexplicably filled with relief, but he still pretended to be a loving father and reprimanded him seriously: "I'm afraid you three don't know how deep the Nanxi water is. A few years ago, a child from Uncle Ma's family fell into it." .
Liang Zhixing lowered his chin, raised his eyes, and looked at Liang Chuan timidly. Among the three children, he was the stranger to Liang Chuan.
'horse egg. . Brother Madan told us about a place where the water is very shallow. . I dare to take my sister and sister to catch fish, Dad. . Don't worry, Dad, nothing will happen to us.
Liang Chuan hummed, and the three children suddenly laughed, but they didn't dare to be so blatant. They glanced at each other. The aunts were very disgusted with them going into the river to fish, and what they caught was a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.
But the children just dig out bird's nests and go down the river to catch fish and shrimps, that's all. It's a bit difficult to cut off their only thoughts!
'Thank you Dad!
Before Liang Chuan could say anything, Liang Yue rushed out alone, and the big fish trap almost hit Liang Chuan. Then Liang Zhixing and Liang Yu also ran out. Liang Yu ran slowly, but Liang Zhixing didn't dare to run, and would come back from time to time to secretly look at Liang Chuan's expression.
Over the years, Zheng Ruoying poured all her love into Liang Zhixing. Even Lin Yiniang admitted that Zhixing, the second child, looked the most similar to Liang Chuan. The mold seemed to be modeled after him, and his figure was not too strong. He looked very much like Liang Chuan when he was young!
'Brother, we want
Don't you want to chase Ah Yue and the others back?
The Nong brothers asked wildly. They could see it when they passed Nanxi. The amount of water was no joke. It would fall if you were not careful!
Liang Chuan smiled and said, "There's no need to chase them, but please follow them and watch them secretly, so as not to let them have any surprises!"
Nong Yao made a promise and took steps to chase after him.
After the entire trip to Qingyuan, the guy who had the biggest change in his impression of Liang Chuan was this boy. He used to be a bit resentful and dissatisfied, thinking about his shabby restaurant, but now he is in awe and dare not mention the word wine. Liang Chuan asked him to do it. Just do whatever you want.
At this time, a young woman in the house chased her out. Looking at the direction the child was running, she stamped her feet anxiously and danced a bamboo stick in her hand.
'Liang Zhixing, please don't come back tonight. I won't beat your ass when you come back!
Ah, it turned out to be Zheng Ruoying, and the years had unknowingly crept onto her face. I think back then, she was still a young and fresh girl, and now she is a middle-aged woman. Skin care products in this era are limited, and she does not need to do heavy physical work in this family, so her aging is slower than that of ordinary women.
But even so, Liang Chuan could still see the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the black hair on the top.
After all, beauty is defeated by time.
When their eyes met, Zheng Ruoying was happy at first, then her face turned dark. She glared at Liang Chuan fiercely, then shook her head and entered the room.
Liang Chuan was left standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.
'I asked Ye Xiaochai to settle you down first, and this will be your home from now on. Brother Nong is a little aggrieved. The house at home may not be enough. Let's live at He Baozheng's place for the time being. I have people clean the ancestral hall again. A few years have passed. There are countless more people in the family, and I didn’t expect to go back to the days of renting a house.
