The autumn breeze spreads, and the yellow dead leaves fell to the ground. Not long after the horse's hooves stepped over, the shaft of the car slowly drove into the entrance of the village. The team of more than 300 people was equipped with swords and weapons, presenting the killing aura of essence and wolf smoke, which made the villagers standing by the road feel huge oppression and approaching.

The shaking carriage, occasionally the curtains rolled up, revealing a pale face. Soon after, the knight in front raised his arms: "Stop" the slowly moving team stopped, and the rolling shaft pressed against a dead leaf and stopped.

Dongfang Sheng put down the curtain weakly, and his originally unswerving eyes suddenly had a bright look that had never been seen before. He leaned on one hand with a crutch. On the other side, he slowly stood up with the help of his adopted son. He also felt solemn and majestic on his pale face. He straightened the brand new robe. When he was about to get out of the curtain, he gently pushed Dongfang Yu away: "I'll go by myself!"

When Gongsun Zhi came over to support him, he also said this, and he probably wanted to walk on his own. He lifted the curtain and stood tall until the car caught up. In front of his vision, it seemed that the wind was blowing. Some of his eyes were filled with heads, and there was a smile on his face. Many people in the crowd could recognize some of them even in the years he had left. After all, he had lived here since he was a child...

"......Who is that person? He looks familiar."

"...I heard that he was a marquis... When did there be such a person in our village?"

"Hey, it seems that the second child of the Dongfang family is back..."

"I'll just say it, no wonder it looks so familiar."

"I remember it seems like I am a nerd, but I can be appointed as a marquis and an official? But why did I miss one arm?"

"...Then Dongfang Ju is probably going to be finished."

The villagers whispered to each other, and they didn't dare to move too casually even so. After all, they had never seen any big world. They were afraid that the rules would cause trouble, and their faces were mostly nervous.

"Everyone, listen!" A rough and bold voice sounded in front of him. The giant man riding a horse waved his whip to the side of the road and swept over one by one: "Today, Gu Hou Dongfangsheng returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and specially prepared rice and chestnut cloth for the elders in the village. Everyone has a share, so they all go to the rear to receive the reward."

After Dian Wei said this with a fierce look on his face, he turned around and swept over everyone fiercely: "Just take it, but don't be too greedy. If you are caught, you will be lightly whipped."

The villagers around were naturally a little afraid and said they didn't dare. Then, some people thanked the scholars who were catching up with the car one after another, and they went to the rear to line up to receive the reward. In such years, for a bite, they would risk taking the risk of taking their lives. If there were such a thing, no one would be so stupid that they would not take it home.

"Let's go, I want to go to the house to have a look."

After watching the scene of distributing food for a while, Dongfang Sheng turned around and said softly to Gongsun Zhi, got off the car with difficulty, and walked towards the house ahead step by step with a cane. In fact, he really wanted to say something to the villagers who were still impressed, but his body was already struggling to hold on and he would fall down at some point.

After walking for a while, the person could no longer walk. Gongsun Zhi had just walked to the door with his arm clamped and looked at the plaque at the courtyard. It seemed that he had been renovated. However, the two stone lions at the door were still the same pair, and there was a nest left by the swallows and birds in the corner of the eaves. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of birds singing inside.

When he stepped on the stone steps with weak steps, the old manager in the courtyard and several servants were greeting him, and he was talking in tears. The scholar had already walked in, but he just glanced at them casually and ignored him.

"The night my father died, these people... didn't shed tears at all... I was kicked out of the house by my brother, and these people were still laughing at the door. After many years, I just thought I could say a few words to them... It seems that I can't..."

This manor is not big. The scholar just walked around and looked at the familiar buildings around him. He stopped at the door of the room he had once sat in. Then he turned around and left to the ancestral hall. In fact, it was just a simple room with no doors and windows and half-openness. When he walked to the door, he let go of Gongsun Zhi's support. His eyes were complicated and calm, and there was a pair of men and women standing there tremblingly.

The scholar did not look at them, and walked in tremblingly with crutches, came to the spiritual seats arranged on the ancestral tribute table in the ancestral hall, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Chief, I just want to stay here for a while and chat with my brother and sister-in-law about family matters." Dongfang Sheng turned slightly to look at Gongsun Zhi behind him, begging.

Gongsun Zhi nodded and withdrew from here with Gao Sheng, but he was not too far away. Hua Tuo, who had been accompanying the medicine, was not far away from them. When there was a sound of intermittent speech in the ancestral hall there, the old man stood there and looked at the ancestral hall from time to time, and looked at Gongsun Zhi, and there was also impermanence and pity in his eyes. He sighed and turned his head. After being known as a miracle doctor, he was not really able to revive the dead. The young man's body has been his own tenacious will.

The sunset gradually burned out the fiery clouds. The fat man named Dongfang Ju came out from inside and happily went to the kitchen to hold a banquet, as if he had already let go of his past grudges with his younger brother. Gongsun Zhi looked at the man running away and turned into the ancestral hall. The scholar was slowly walking out and smiling at him, but he had no intention of liking it.

"…the leader…the mere home…it seems not here.”

"Um!"

"Stay here for a night and take me back to the White Wolf Yuan to have a look."

The scholar's face was even more smiling. Looking at the red sky clouds in the west, the glow of light pounced on his face, closing his eyes slightly, as if he had fallen asleep, and as if he was recalling something. After a while, he opened it and looked at Gongsun Zhi and Gao Sheng, "That's my...home."

...

The next morning, the team gathered at the entrance of the house.

The extremely weak scholar walked out of the yard and got on the carriage without looking back. Behind him was his brother Dongfang Ju and a woman. After watching his younger brother enter the carriage, the fat woman secretly poked her husband with her elbow. The latter nodded understandingly and walked to the figure that was about to get on the horse and bowed, "Governor, the grass-roots people have something to ask."

Flipped onto the horse's back, Gongsun Zhi lowered his eyes and looked down at the other party's slightly raised round face: "What's the matter?"

"...I heard... the Marquis can be replaced..." Dongfang Zao rubbed his hands, glanced at the departing carriage over there, and whispered: "... Caomin's younger brother is not good enough, the governor... You see, if he... just leave the Marquis to Caomin at that time... what about?"

Xilulu

The war horse suddenly turned its hooves, scaring the man to take a few steps back. Gongsun Zhi's eyes were cold, and he glanced back slightly at the other party. He waved to Li Ke next to him, and then looked at the scholar's brother for the last time. He grabbed the horse's belly and heard the voice indifferently: "You stay here and burn it."
