"Were you a resident of this place more than 20 years ago?" Looking at the man in front of him called Blind Cheng, Chen Mo frowned and had no impression of the person in front of him.

"My mother-in-law is the one who originally lived here, and I followed her here." Cheng Xiazi was quite cautious: "When the Taiping Sect caused a rebellion and came here, Zhuangzi was already in chaos, and my mother-in-law had just died.

, her man was also hacked to death, I couldn't bear to save her, so she followed me. Later, the Taiping Religion was defeated, I became blind, and was labeled as a thief. I couldn't serve as a soldier, so I followed.

My wife came back here to settle down."

"Can you let me meet you?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Blind Cheng nodded and quickly went into the house to call his mother-in-law out. The woman, who was already in her forties, looked older than Li Zheng. When she saw Chen Mo, she was a little confused.

"Aunt Zhang?" Chen Mo looked at the old woman and could vaguely recognize some of her previous appearance.

"Young man, you are..." Aunt Zhang obviously did not recognize Chen Mo. After all, she was still a half-grown child when she left her hometown, but now she has grown up.

"Impossible, this is..." Dian Wei on the side frowned, this woman is so unruly.

"Shut up." Chen Mo glared at him, turned to look at the woman and said, "Chen Mo, Chen Ergou."

"Er Gou, you... Aunt... I didn't mean to..." Aunt Zhang was a little at a loss. She still remembered scolding Chen Mo and his mother because of her son's death. She thought Chen Mo was back to seek revenge.

"Aunt, I feel sad about A Duo's death too." Chen Mo comforted him: "Everyone will go crazy when a close relative dies. This time I came back just to see if any of the folks are alive. Da Lang and A Duo are here now.

Next to me, Dalang is now a general, and there is Ah-Dai, who is also a great figure in Luoyang now."

Under Chen Mo's comfort, the woman finally calmed down, but then she burst into tears. The memories back then were not good. There are probably only a few people alive in Zhuangzi now. When she saw Chen Mo, she couldn't help but think of those days.

The dead son, and the unbearable past.

"Two..." After crying, Aunt Zhang gradually calmed down. She looked at Chen Mo and opened her mouth, but she felt that it was inappropriate to call her Ergou again. It was a bit disrespectful to call her name. After all, Chen Mo's identity is different now.

Don't bark randomly.

"My cousin is Bo Dao. Auntie can just call me cousin." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Bo Dao, are you...promising now?" Aunt Zhang said a little cautiously.

"Well, I was also lucky. I became a teacher with a famous man, and later entered the official career." Chen Mo did not say his identity. He knew very well that to the villagers, the general and the Marquis of Changling were nothing but nothing.

concept.

"That's good, we have a big shot in the village." Aunt Zhang was a little worried. Although Chen Mo didn't say it explicitly, Da Lang and Ah Dai now have official status. It must be Chen Mo's credit. Come to think of it, the whole

In the village, Chen Mo is the only one who is literate and has been sensible since he was a child. He looks different from other children. If his son is still alive, he might be able to become an official.

"Mom, who's here?" As they were reminiscing about old times, they saw another family running over in a hurry. A peasant woman looked at Chen Mo with some fear. Seeing Chen Mo looking over, she quickly bowed her head and bowed.

"Come here quickly, this person is from our village. He grew up with your brother and is now a big shot." Aunt Zhang quickly pulled the peasant woman to her side and said to Chen Mo: "Bo Dao, this is me

Daughter, call someone quickly."

But it was Aunt Zhang's daughter who she later gave birth to by Cheng Xiazi. She looked pretty good, but her eyes showed a bit of restraint and fear. She hurriedly saluted after hearing this.

"No need to be polite." Chen Mo stretched out his hand to support him and said with a smile: "Aduo and I are old friends. After all, it's not an exaggeration for you to call me brother."

"Folk girls don't dare to climb high." The woman quickly lowered her head and said.

"I passed by this place when I came back this time, and I didn't bring anything with me. There is a jade pendant here as a greeting gift. If you need help in the future, you can take this to find Xia Qiuling. I have some friendship with him." Chen Mo said.

He touched his body and took out a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to the woman and said with a smile.

"Why don't you thank the Marquis quickly!" The woman was ignorant, but Li Zheng on the side was very knowledgeable. He could tell at a glance that this jade pendant was extraordinary and could not be bought by anyone with money, and it also had Chen Mo's seal engraved on it.

Things are often symbols of status.

The young woman was ignorant, but she was accustomed to obeying and thanked Chen Mo.

"That's all." Chen Mo waved his hand, stood up and looked at the crowd and said, "I have official duties, so I won't stay any longer. I will inform Xia Qiuling later that Auntie can go to him if she needs anything."

"Bo Dao is leaving now?" Aunt Zhang stood up and said with some reluctance. After all, people like Chen Mo were her few old acquaintances, and they felt a bit like her mother's family.

"Well, I'm busy with worldly affairs and it's inconvenient to stay here longer. Auntie, take care of yourself. When I have time in the future, I will bring my mother back for a visit." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

"Come back and see more." Aunt Zhang kept sending Chen Mo outside the village and shouted reluctantly.

"Auntie, please come back." Chen Mo got on the carriage, waved to her and said with a smile.

Aunt Zhang kept watching the motorcade go away, and then came back reluctantly.

In the carriage, Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo with some curiosity: "Since my master is old, why not send him to the county to take care of him?"

"You need to be kind when helping others. People in this country have their simple side, but the human heart is the most difficult thing to control. If you don't have it, you may not think too much about it, but if you have good things, you will often think of better things.

, now it’s just right, I will inform Xia Qiu Ling later to take care of them, so that they can live a better life. In fact, for ordinary people, if they don’t have greed, they can eat and drink enough, and have something to look forward to in life, that’s enough.”

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head. It wasn't that he wanted to put on airs, it was just that he didn't want to help an enemy. This Da Lang was in a different situation from Duan. Sometimes, it was difficult to really get along with each other if they were not on the same level.

"General Dian is knowledgeable in everything. General Dian, there are also some relatives and friends who come to chat with each other on weekdays, right?" Xu Shu said with a smile.

"There is some trouble!" Dian Wei thought for a while. Although he was a little ruthless, in many cases it was not that he didn't want to help, but that he would help. Some people would take your kindness for granted. Dian Wei was brave and good at fighting, and he was extremely helpful to the enemy.

There is no need to be afraid of thousands of troops and horses, but for these relatives and friends, sometimes it is really annoying.

"We have to set some rules." Chen Mo patted Dian Wei on the shoulder and said, "It's not bad to meet an old friend this time."

It may be difficult to come back in the future. To be honest, there is nothing to worry about. Although there is a surprise of being able to reunite with Aunt Zhang, it is like a wish. After all, his home is no longer here. Facing his hometown

The nostalgia gradually disappeared with this return, just like the dilapidated hometown. In fact, I really saw it, but I didn’t miss it too much.

After the group left Xia Qiu, they quickly entered the territory of Xiapi. Chen Gui, who had already received the news, had already sent someone to greet him. Although he had never been here before, he was of the Chen family's blood after all. Chen Mo was also returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time, so he really wanted to meet him.

When the old Chen Gui arrived, most of his dissatisfaction and resentment in the past had finally dissipated. After all, Chen Deng did provide him with a lot of help when he needed it most. Regardless of the reason, but Chen Mo is today, the Chen family secretly
