In the capital city, under an ancient pagoda, Chang Xing's family of three knelt on a grave. Three sticks of incense were lit in front of the grave, and Chang Xing was adding money and paper to the blazing fire.
"Father, mother. Today I brought my wife and children to pay homage to my two elders. I hope that my two elders can rest in peace. After Master took me away from my mother, I have been living in Xianji Bridge. Although life is hard, Master has never
You treated me badly. When Master left three years ago, he told me his life story. Now the situation has changed, and you can be rehabilitated. I don’t want to inquire about the Chang family’s situation. Maybe this is better for everyone." Chang Xing said to himself
I don’t have any impression of my biological parents, and I don’t even know what they look like. I don’t have any real feelings for them. But now that I am a father, I naturally know how hard it is to be a parent.
Chang Xing wanted to recognize his parents, but he had no intention of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan.
"I came here to worship. This wish has come true." Chang Xing helped Wu Wanyi and Chang Qing up.
But it was said that when Chang Xing's family was worshiping, this scene fell into the eyes of a group of people. However, the group of people did not come forward at that time, but hid in their plans. Chang Xing did not pay much attention at the time, and had no intention of doing so.
After acknowledging their ancestors and returning to their clan, they didn’t know who was left in the Chang family. Although they noticed that group of people, they thought they came to pay homage to other graves.
The group of people heard what Chang Xing said during the worship process. One of them, a woman about fifty years old, seemed to want to come over and ask, but she was stopped by a middle-aged man who was about the same age next to her.
"Why don't you let me go up and ask? What if that person is my brother's long-lost child? That is my brother's only flesh and blood!" said the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged man said: "We haven't shown up for so many years, but Yun Kun came to recognize his relatives just after he was rehabilitated. Don't you think it's a coincidence? And he didn't go to the Chang family to recognize his relatives, just when we came to pay homage to Yun Kun.
When the time comes, get ahead of us.”
"I heard that Yun Kun's child was rescued by a Taoist priest. I have been searching for many years but there is no news. Now I finally have a clue. Even if he is not the child, shouldn't I ask about it?" asked the middle-aged woman.
road.
"Yun Yi, Yun Kun has been rehabilitated, and the government is going to return your old house. It's not surprising that a long-lost child suddenly appears at this time," the middle-aged man said.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the middle-aged woman sighed and said nothing more.
The middle-aged woman is actually closely related to Chang Xing. She is Chang Yunyi, Chang Xing's aunt whom he has never met. The middle-aged man is Chang Yunyi's husband, Wen Jintian. Wen Jintian did not let Chang Yunyi go up to meet him.
The main reason is that the Chang family's house is about to be returned by the government. In addition, Chang Xing's father, Chang Yunkun, has been wronged for so many years. Now that he has been rehabilitated, according to the policy, he will still receive a certain amount of financial compensation. He is worried that someone will come to his door.
Impersonation is just one of the high-sounding excuses.
Chang Yunyi actually knew in his heart that the family in front of him was most likely to have lost his younger brother's bloodline. Because Chang Xing looked so much like Chang Yunkun. They were just poured out of the same mold. Chang Qing also followed.
Chang Yunkun looked very much like him when he was young.
Chang Yunyi wanted to catch up several times, but was held tightly by Wen Jintian.
Coming down from the mountain, Wu Wanyi said to Chang Qing: "That group of people just seemed to have been paying attention to us. Do you think it is possible that they also came to pay homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"Maybe. I've noticed it too. But since they don't come to recognize each other, there's no need for us to get close to each other. My parents gave me life, and I came to worship them, which is regarded as fulfilling my wish. As for the rest of the Chang family
, even if they are related to me by blood, I don’t want to ask them to recognize me." Chang Xing said.
After the Changxing family paid their respects, they visited several famous scenic spots in the capital for a few days.
Chang Yunyi originally thought that Chang Xing's family would return to Chang's family to recognize her relatives, and she was always conflicted. On the one hand, she still hoped that her brother's only bloodline would still survive in the world. On the other hand, she was worried that the appearance of her nephew would lead to conflicts with her.
She fights for the family property.
But after waiting for several days, no one came to the door. Chang Yunyi was very disappointed.
"It's just a good idea if you don't come, but if you come, we don't know how much money we will waste. It's hard for me to get this yard back from the government. If your nephew suddenly shows up, all my efforts will be in vain for him." Wen Wen
Jintian said.
"Are we going too far? That's Yun Kun's only bloodline. It would have been such a happy thing to be able to recognize my long-lost nephew, but now, because of this courtyard, I avoid it. It's worth it.
Really?" Chang Yunyi began to regret it now.
"What a woman's kindness! What if he is your nephew? We can't even recognize him even if he is beaten to death. Your brother's son is already dead," Wen Jintian said.
"If that person is not my nephew, but someone else pretending to be him, why hasn't he come to the door now? Maybe he doesn't even know that there is someone else in the Chang family." Chang Yunyi started to cry.
Chang Xing's family had already boarded a plane to the East China Sea. Chang Xing dealt with the trivial matters in the world one by one.
"Don't worry. I will take good care of Chang Qing. You are alone outside, so you have to take care of yourself. Come back as soon as possible." In the darkness, tears glistened in Wu Wanyi's eyes.
Chang Xing said: "Wanyi, do you think it would be better to be an ordinary person?"
Wu Wanyi smiled and said: "If you were an ordinary person, we might not be able to get together. I would probably be similar to those educated young people who stayed in Xianji Bridge until the college entrance examination was resumed and returned to the city after passing the college entrance examination. Or I would die from the claws of a black bear.
Get off."
"Even if I am an ordinary person, I should be very good. With your status being so low, it is impossible for you to marry me, a poor peasant?" Chang Xing said with a smile.
"If you were an ordinary person, you would still be a remnant of feudalism. You would probably have been hiding in Fengmei Village. Well, you might also go down the mountain and become the son-in-law of Xiao Dajiang's family. By the way, I won't go to Kyoto this time.
Meet your childhood sweetheart Xiao Hongxia." Wu Wanyi seemed a little jealous.
"Oh, isn't this a case of jealousy in my family?" Chang Xing said with a smile.
"I'm just jealous. If Xiao Hongxia hadn't gone to the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University, she would have married you, right? At that time, she would have been following you every day," Wu Wanyi said.
"I always thought that my mother-in-law was a rare generosity in the world, but I didn't expect that one day she would be jealous." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"I just overturned the jealousy. How about it?" Wu Wanyi started to cry. Wu Wanyi was not really jealous, but she was reluctant to leave Chang Xing. Wu Wanyi now also knows a lot about Taoism. After Chang Xing left,
I don’t know how long it will take to break through the cultivation level. It is very possible for some monks to be stuck at one level all their lives. The threshold that Chang Xing has to cross is a difficult difficulty for modern monks to reach. Although Chang Xing is extremely talented
Gao. It is extremely rare to be able to reach the current level of cultivation at this age. The possibility of crossing this threshold is extremely high. However, who can know how long it will take?
It was still dark before Wu Wanyi and Chang Xing got into bed.
Chang Xing went to Chang Qing's room to take a look.
"Don't wake up your son. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to leave today. Have you brought everything? If you don't have enough money, come back. Or give me a call and I will remit it to you." Wu Wanyi said.
"Don't worry. Can I starve myself? I won't wake up my son. From now on, you will have to work hard to manage this family." Chang Xing said.
"Let's go. Otherwise I will regret it and you won't be able to leave," Wu Wanyi said.
Chang Xing opened the courtyard door and was about to step out when he heard suppressed crying coming from the house. Chang Xing paused at the courtyard door, then resolutely pushed the courtyard door open and walked out.
"Mom, did dad bully you?" Chang Qing came to the living room barefoot.
Wu Wanyi shook her head: "Dad is out. Mom is reluctant to leave."
"Then I'll go get dad back!" Chang Qing said.
Wu Wanyi quickly grabbed her son: "Dad has something very important to do. From now on, it will be just the two of us at home."
"Mom, did dad become a Taoist priest?" Chang Qing asked.
"Why do you think so?" Wu Wanyi smiled slightly.
"The master is a Taoist priest. Did dad take over from the master?" Chang Qing's analysis was reasonable and well-founded.
Wu Wanyi chuckled: "Dad is not here to take over from Master. You will know when you grow up."
After leaving the East China Sea, Chang Xing was aimless and didn't know where to go. He just chose a direction and kept walking. Chang Xing was completely like an ordinary person. He didn't use magic to remove the dust on his body. In this era, the dust on the road
It was very thick. Both sides of the road were covered with thick dust, and even the original colors of the branches and leaves were difficult to see clearly.
After walking on the first day, Chang Xing was already gray and dirty. He finally walked out of Donghai City and came to the suburbs. Chang Xing did not walk along the road, but walked towards the mountains and forests. He walked to the river and washed his face.
Then he sat down. Although he hadn't eaten all day, Chang Xing didn't feel hungry at all.
As soon as Chang Xing sat down by the river, he felt as if he had merged into the world. A passerby passed by and walked up to Chang Xing only to find a person sitting here. He was startled.
"What are you doing sitting here? You're scared to death!" the passerby said dissatisfied.
Chang Xing looked at the passerby and smiled, ignoring him.
"Crazy!" The passerby originally wanted to wash his hands by the river, but when he saw Chang Xing like this, he left in a hurry.
Chang Xing got up and continued walking forward. Night slowly fell, and Chang Xing did not prepare a place to stay for the night. Chang Xing was not ready to stop again. Although it was dark, Chang Xing's footsteps did not stop.
Wu Wanyi was holding the bowl, but she forgot to take the rice into her mouth. She was worried about Chang Xing: where was he at this time? She didn't know if he had eaten or if he had a place to sleep at night.
"Mom, why don't you eat?" Chang Qing asked.
"Oh, mom is thinking about something." Wu Wanyi stroked Chang Qing's head.
"Are you thinking about Dad? I miss Dad too." Chang Qing said.
The family has not been separated for a long time, and now Chang Xing suddenly wants to leave home, Wu Wanyi and Chang Qing are very uncomfortable with it.
