Tianjia Village is not very far from Fengshui Town. It took us twenty or thirty miles to find two carriages and we arrived at Tianjia Village in more than an hour. There were about dozens of households in the whole village, mostly with the surname Tian.
When the group arrived, the entire Tian family was already busy inside and outside. Lin Tianqi immediately saw the busy Xu's father and Xu's mother, and Tian Rong, whose eyes were red and obviously had just cried.
We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. Xu's father and Xu's mother are much older, and their hair has turned gray. Tian Rong also looks much more mature, and her body shows signs of gaining weight like a middle-aged woman's, but she's still doing well.
There was a flat ground outside the front gate of Tian's house. The carriage stopped on the flat ground. At this time, everyone in the house also noticed the group of people arriving, and their eyes were immediately attracted.
"Tianqi, Xiaojie!" Xu's father and Xu's mother were immediately shocked. When they saw Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie coming out of the carriage, they were suddenly surprised and walked out quickly: "Xiaojie, Tianqi."
"Father, mother!" Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie also called out quickly. Seeing the two elders, they felt happy, especially Xu Jie. However, thinking of today's occasion, both of them suppressed their emotions.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Xu's mother asked again, with a bit of blame, but it was obvious that she was more happy than surprised.
"Senior brother, Xiaojie, master." At this time, Tian Rong also came over, with a white cloth wrapped around his head and red eyes. He looked at the three of them and shouted with a smile.
"Sister-in-law." When Xu Jie saw Tian Rong, the smile on her face suddenly faded and she called out. She walked over and took Tian Rong's hand and gave her a comforting look.
"Don't be too sad." Lin Tianqi also consoled him.
"Everyone is born, old, sick and die, don't be too sad." Uncle Jiu also said a word of comfort.
Tian Rong also nodded when he heard this, with a forced smile on his face, but anyone could see that it was far-fetched.
"Master Lin." "Master Lin."
At this time, another two middle-aged men and women with white cloths on their heads like Tian Rong came over and looked at Uncle Jiu. The woman's face looked somewhat similar to Tian Rong's, but she looked much older.
"Mother." Qiu Sheng looked at the woman and called out, but the woman was Tian Rong's sister Tian Qiu, and the man was Tian Rong's brother Tian Hu.
The group of people briefly got to know each other, and then quickly entered the house. Soon, Tian Rong's father, Tian Qianye, also walked out. An old man who looked very old, with a stooped figure, was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Tianqi and his group.
He welcomed the group of people into the house and seemed very open-minded. He was not as sad as the Tian Rong brothers and sisters. Instead, he comforted the three brothers and sisters not to be too sad.
Lin Tianqi could tell that it was not that the old man had no feelings for Tian Rong's mother, but that at this age, he had really opened his eyes and was calm about life and death.
Soon, Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie saw Xu Yang, the child of Xu Dongsheng and Tian Rong. The little boy was eight years old. He inherited his father Xu Dongsheng's figure and looked very strong, but inherited Tian Rong's appearance and was very delicate.
, the comely kind, it can be expected that he will be a handsome boy when he grows up, and his appearance will definitely be higher than that of Xu Dongsheng.
Tian Rong's younger brother Tian Hu is also married. His wife's surname is Huang, and they have a pair of twins, now six years old. The two little guys are following Xu Yang together, like followers. The three little guys are very naughty.
He knew where he found the firecrackers, so he threw them everywhere, and finally made trouble by inserting the firecrackers into a pile of cow dung outside the yard, and Tian Hu happened to pass by.
Good guy, when the firecrackers exploded, cow dung flew all over the sky, and the viscous cow dung was all over Tian Hu's body. It was smelly, sticky, and all over his face.
As you can imagine, the three little guys spiraled into the sky and exploded on the spot. They were beaten violently by Tian Hu. They cried for father and called mother, but it was useless to call mother, because the mother was shouting cheers to the father instead.
Even though she couldn't call her mother, Tian Hu still punished her severely.
Everyone else present laughed until their stomachs ached.
In the end, Tian Hu spanked the buttocks of the three little guys until they were red before he stopped. Although Tian Hu was angry, he was very measured in his strikes. He only spanked the three little guys. This would hurt at most, but would not cause any problems. The three little guys
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears and they stopped playing with firecrackers.
However, after the three little guys made trouble, the original sad atmosphere was diluted a lot.
In most funerals in this era, the corpse of the deceased was usually kept at home for two to three days, and the husband was invited to perform a ritual ceremony before being buried.
The same was true for the Tian family. After Tian's mother's body was put into the coffin that day, a mage was invited to do the ritual.
Lin Tianqi, Uncle Jiu and others also stayed, but the family in Fengshui Town also needed someone to go back and look after the house. After all, this era is not peaceful. Even though Fengshui Town is relatively peaceful, there are a lot of pickpockets. If
No one is at home, so there is no guarantee that a lot of things will be missing from the house after one night.
In the end, he decided to let Wencai run back alone. Just in case, Lin Tianqi gave Wencai a sensing charm. If something happened at close range, Wencai could sense it by just crushing it.
.............................
It was a peaceful night, but the next day, in the afternoon, outside Fengshui Town, an army of a hundred people carrying guns appeared on the road outside the town.
At the head was a tall, muscular man with a dark face and a somewhat sinister appearance. He looked like the leader of the team, riding a tall horse and dressed as an officer.
"Boss, this is your hometown. Doesn't it look pretty good?"
Behind the officer, there were several followers who were also riding horses. Looking at Fengshui Town in sight, one of them said, a peaceful and lively town like Fengshui Town is hard to see in the outside world, especially
In the Northland.
"Yes, my hometown is quite nice, but unfortunately, my memory of this place is not good."
The leading officer smiled faintly when he heard this, with a hint of coldness.
"Hey, let me tell you what to do next. As long as you give the order, my brothers will hit wherever you say!"
A follower next to him chuckled when he heard this, with a ferocious smile on his face.
The leading officer also smiled sternly when he heard this, and then pulled the reins.
"Let's go to the town first!"
At the same time, in Fengshui Town, seeing this sudden appearance of the army, the whole town immediately became commotion.
"It's not good! It's not good! The army is coming!"
Someone shouted at the top of their lungs, and suddenly the whole town was in commotion.
"Quickly, let Captain Ah Wei gather all the security team members together."
The mayor Li Yu immediately gave the order.
"Captain! Captain, the army is coming. The mayor wants you to gather everyone together quickly."
"army!"
Awei, who was sitting leisurely on the chair, almost fell off the chair in fright when he heard this. Although he had been a security captain in the town for many years, he was very impressive, but if he really encounters the army, give him ten courages.
He is also cowardly.
"What army? Where's the army? What's it for?"
After being startled, Awei asked quickly again, with a triple question.
"I, I don't know, but it looks like it's the national army. I don't know what it does, but I heard that there have been wars outside in the past few years. Those government troops are everywhere requisitioning food. Maybe they are requisitioning food.
Here you go, go take a look..."
The person who reported the news said with a sad face.
These days, for people like them, the last thing they want to see is probably the army.
"Collecting food, that's okay, that's okay..."
Ah Wei took a deep breath after hearing this, then stood up and said.
"Let's go, gather everyone and follow me to see the mayor."
"yes!"
ps: There are only two chapters today. My daughter-in-law went home and I was alone during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I made an appointment with friends for dinner in the evening, so there are only two chapters today. I hope everyone will approve it, and I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival again.
