The end of the month is coming soon, and this day is the day I have made an appointment with Lin Mengli to return to the Lin family together.
Early in the morning, Lin Wanwan and Xiao Qingyu put on their traditional parent-child clothes and curtains, called two carriages, and took two large boxes with them. They left the town and took the official road to the countryside.
When little Qingyu learned that she was going to visit relatives with her mother, she was so excited that it was almost like an outing. After these days, Lin Wanwan fed her milk powder, rice noodles, various fruits, and meat, and the little one gained some weight and was no longer the same as the first time.
See that skinny refugee.
Lin Wanwan's tanned skin has also been treated with milk bath, children's sunscreen, and body lotion, and has become much whiter. It can be said that even Xiao Qingyu's own mother may not be able to recognize her when she stands in front of her. As for the past
Her uncles, aunts, and grandparents who treated her harshly were even less likely to recognize her.
After driving the cart for about half an hour, it became impossible to go in because the path further in was not wide enough. Lin Wanwan and the other three got off the cart, each carrying a box on their shoulders. Fortunately, it was not far from the village.
. We walked along the path to the beach, and the sound of the waves reached our ears one after another, which made people relax unconsciously.
"Your village is by the sea? I still have some impression. I seemed to have been here when I was a child." Lin Wanwan said casually.
"Yes, the Hou Tao Lin family's ancestral home is in this area. Since you are the Lin family's daughter, you have naturally come here to worship your ancestors. It is normal to have an impression. A little further ahead is our Lin Family Village. The whole village is a
There is no one with a foreign surname in the family." Lin Mengli introduced Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan nodded lightly and said nothing to avoid betraying her. At this time, looking far ahead, she could already see the village built on the mountain.
But Xiao Qingyu's footsteps gradually became heavier, and she didn't even dare to move forward. This is the home of her uncle, aunt, and grandparents. Does her mother not want her? Does she want to send her back?
The more Xiao Qingyu thought about it, the more frightened she became, and suddenly she stood on the same spot, motionless.
Lin Wanwan looked back at her: "What's wrong with Xiao Yu'er? Are you tired from walking?"
It is true that children of this age cannot walk long distances. In modern times, children of her age sometimes push strollers when they go out, so that they can sit down when they are tired from walking.
But Lin Wanwan obviously guessed wrong this time. The reason why Xiao Qingyu stopped was not because she was tired, but because she was afraid.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Lin Wanwan put down the box, squatted down, held her arms, and said softly: "What's wrong, Xiao Yu'er, talk to mother."
Listening to Lin Wanwan's gentle and gentle voice, Xiao Qingyu suddenly couldn't hold herself any longer and threw herself into her arms and cried loudly. If Lin Wanwan hadn't practiced Zhuang for several years, she would have been knocked down right now.
"Mom, don't leave Xiao Yu'er behind. Mom, I will be obedient!"
The little guy turns out to be afraid of this!
Lin Wanwan quickly held Xiao Qingyu tightly in her arms and whispered softly: "How could mother abandon Xiao Yu'er? Mother will always love you and will never abandon you."
Xiao Qingyu raised her head, her eyelashes covered with tears, looked at Lin Wanwan and confirmed, "Mother will always love me?"
Lin Wanwan replied in the affirmative: "Of course, I ask you, Xiao Yu'er, what do you think of your mother?"
Xiao Qingyu tilted her head and said in a tearful tone: "My dear sweet sauce."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "That's right! You are my mother's sweetheart, Sweet Sauce!"
After comforting the little guy, the three of them continued to walk in. Lin Mengli smiled and said, "Wan Niang, you quite spoil the child."
Lin Wanwan smiled but said nothing.
When she reached the entrance of the village, Lin Wanwan saw a simple small dock with two dilapidated wooden sailboats parked there.
At this time, the people on the boat were about to get off. When they saw Lin Wanwan and Xiao Qingyu, they were all dumbfounded.
"Where did this fairy come from?" The person who spoke was called Lin Mengjin. He was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was not tall, only about 1.65 meters tall.
Lin Mengli happened to be his cousin. When he saw her, he hurriedly replied: "This is also the young lady of our Lin family. Where is the patriarch uncle? Where is he? We have something to look for him."
Lin Mengjin said: "I just got off the boat and I must be back home now. Let's go and look for it together."
After saying that, he followed Lin Wanwan and the other three.
"The fairy in front is dressed so well. This dress is probably worth our food rations for a year. She is also a member of our Lin family? Is she a direct descendant?"
"It must be, I don't know why she came here today."
The two young men following Lin Mengjin murmured secretly.
After hearing the discussion, Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and did not answer. A few people quickly walked to the village. In the farmland on both sides of the village road, there were figures of men and women walking through them, busy and lively. On the field ridges and village roads, there were also
Many barefoot and bare-butt children were running around, full of energy.
What a grand scene of a farmhouse. Thousands of years later, such a scene still exists. In a daze, Lin Wanwan felt that time had traveled again.
Since the village was closed and there were almost no outsiders, everyone was shocked when they suddenly saw Lin Wanwan, who stood out like a phoenix, and Lin Qingyu, who was holding her sleeve tightly beside her.
"Where does this little lady come from?"
"Meng Li, Meng Jin, who is she?"
People kept asking questions in the field, and the curious children were already following behind, simulating the sound of beating a horse.
As for the attention ceremony, Lin Wanwan, who had been the school belle all the way, had seen a lot, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, it was the lively rural scene from a thousand years ago, which made her feel quite fresh.
This area is called Houtao Nanshan and is close to the sea. Thousands of years later, there are no homes here anymore and it has become part of the Houtao Mountain Scenic Area.
Descendants of the Hou Taolin family also migrated out long ago.
At this time, this pastoral scene by the sea is so vivid.
Lin Mengjin and Lin Mengli walked at the front and led the way. They quickly crossed the village road and turned left into a fenced yard.
There was an old man in the yard with his sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, drying shrimps.
"Uncle Chief, where are the dried shrimps? Can the shrimps be cooked so quickly?" Lin Mengjin shouted.
The old man raised his head and looked at the visitor. His eyes instantly focused on Lin Wanwan and Lin Qingyu: "This is it?"
Lin Mengjin hurriedly took two steps forward and explained: "Uncle Chief, she is Aunt Lin, the direct descendant of the family, the only daughter in the family. She has lived in seclusion in the mountains with the old immortal since she was a child. She just came down the mountain recently. She saved Daya's life in the town some time ago.
.”
The old man suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out it's her. The Meng Bo family mentioned it when they came back."
Lin Wanwan had already taken down the curtain and looked at the old man.
I saw his dark face covered with wrinkles, and he was wearing khaki linen clothes with two patches. It was hard to tell his age. His face looked like he was sixty or seventy, but he was a poor fisherman in the Tang Dynasty.
It is unlikely to live such a long life, since seventy years is rare in ancient times, so the high probability is forty or fifty.
