Talk about the world of mortals in detail

A "Uncle" came out. Although the voice had become much thicker than before, it also brought back some memories of Yi Shuyuan.

The look of Abao running excitedly was just like when he was chasing Hui Mian on the field ridge. Although his body was older, his demeanor was still there.

"Uncle——"

Abao shouted again and rushed to the front door of Yuezhou Academy's main entrance.

"Um!"

Yi Shuyuan responded, feeling quite emotional in his heart. As Abao gradually approached, his steps couldn't help but slow down.

For nearly ten years, Grandpa Uncle's appearance was a little blurred in his memory, but when they saw each other again, Abao instantly remembered that Grandpa Uncle had hardly changed at all.

Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Abao looking a little distracted.

"You've grown up!"

After all, Abao is no longer the child he was back then, and he now knows that his uncle should be a scholar of nature. When he got close, he straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly to Yi Shuyuan.

"Uncle!"

Yi Shuyuan said, pulling Abao into the position under the door.

"It's raining."

This pull not only pulled Yi Abao under the door to take shelter from the rain, but also seemed to bring the time of eighty or nine years closer, making Abao's tension disappear.

"It's okay, it's not raining heavily!"

Abao patted his body, slapping the messy raindrops off his clothes, and took off his scarf to shake the water drops on it, but his attention naturally turned to Shi Sheng, who was still sleeping soundly.

"Uncle, who is this child? Did you get married outside?"

Yi Shuyuan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Don't talk nonsense. His name is Mo Shisheng, and he is your uncle's apprentice."

Abao nodded, but he understood Shi Sheng as following his uncle in reading, literacy and learning.

"Then where have you been for so long? I thought it would take you a long time to come back!"

Hui Mian also came out at this moment and stood on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder, watching Abao's movements.

"Hey, it's still there!"

Abao put on the Confucian scarf again and looked at the little mink on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder in surprise. He liked to catch it the most at first, but it was difficult to catch.

"Zhizhi~~"

Hui Mian also called out twice. When he saw A Bao reaching out carefully, he did not avoid it and allowed him to touch the fur on his body.

It was also at this time that the concierge ran back, somewhat breathless.

"Oh, you run so fast and you talk about it."

Seeing Yi Shuyuan and Abao looking over, the concierge said something and returned to the table and sat down.

The academy, Yuezhou Academy, has regulations that even if relatives come over, they are not allowed to enter the academy. However, as long as they do not go to the academy, the backyard, and some areas in the front yard, the concierge can accommodate them.

Abao was still in a very excited mood, so he leaned close to Yi Shuyuan and whispered.

"Uncle, I have framed the calligraphy treasures you left back then!"

"Well, then let's take it home."

"go home?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at Abao and smiled.

"Grandpa Qin, it's rare for me to come back. I'm not just here to see you, right? I'm asking for leave with my wife, and we'll go back to Yuanjiang County."

"That's right, go home!"

Abao nodded hurriedly.

"Then shall I go find the Master?"

"Go! Here, take an umbrella."

After Yi Shuyuan finished speaking, he handed over the folded umbrella in his hand, and Hui Mian had already jumped onto Abao's shoulders and hid in his clothes.

Abao took the umbrella, opened it, and ran back to the academy with a smile.

To approve a leave in the academy, you only need to find one of the masters, but Abao did not go to the more familiar Master Li, which seemed disrespectful to Master Lu who was currently in class.

A Bao returned to the school with an umbrella. Master Lu had already noticed the students returning, and the recitation in the hall stopped again.

"Why don't you spend more time with the elders and come back so soon?"

After hearing the Master's words, Abao stood at the door and bowed before answering.

"Master, my uncle hasn't been home for almost ten years. This time he came to see me first when he returned to Yuezhou. He wanted to go back to Yuanjiang County with me and asked Master for leave!"

In the school, several friends who were close friends with Abao were winking at the door. Some asked in low voices, and some kept changing their mouth shapes.

Abao also roughly understood what these guys wanted to express.

"Abao, is this your uncle?" "Is that correct?"

"I want to go too!" "Please give me the words, please give me the words, don't forget it!"

The master looked back at the school, and those strange movements disappeared immediately. Then he looked back at the door, where Abao was still waiting.

"It's been a long time since I returned to my hometown to look for my old friend. It's really hard to disappoint the old man, so just go ahead and make up the note later."

"Thank you Master!"

Abao happily saluted again and winked at several people in the academy, which immediately made a few people inside extremely excited and were already thinking of finding excuses to sneak out of the academy.

But it was obvious that these people had been targeted by Mr. Lu.

——

Abao simply went back to his residence to pack his things and followed Yi Shuyuan out of the academy with a book box on his back.

We took a boat down the E River and then entered its tributaries. We arrived at Yuanjiang County at noon the next day and hired a carriage to return to the village.

Along the way, Yi Abao and Yi Shuyuan talked a lot, about the changes in their families over the years, their studies, and some interesting things in Yuanjiang County.

The "Yuanjiang County Chronicle" compiled by Yi Shuyuan himself was not able to stay in the county in the end, but was taken away by County Magistrate Lin after he was promoted to the magistrate of another state.

Wu Minggao, the chief secretary, was heartbroken and argued with Lin Xiu several times, but after all, the official rank was overwhelming and he failed to keep this county chronicle.

However, several officials in Yuanjiang County have been promoted one after another, so no one in the county government has trouble with this matter.

Yi Shuyuan listened most of the time, while Hui Mian sat there waiting for Abao to feed him some cakes from time to time.

The changes in Yuanjiang County Government are just a small microcosm, which also makes Yi Shuyuan lament that time flies by and things change, and people change. This is only eight or nine years ago.

——

When he approached Xihe Village, Shi Sheng finally woke up.

"Ah ho."

Shi Sheng stretched out, rubbed his eyes and felt that the environment he was in was shaking. When he opened his eyes, he saw his master sitting next to him, and there was an unknown elder brother beside him.

"Eh? Are we riding in a carriage? Master, who is this big brother?"

Yi Abao smiled and moved closer, opening a food box at his feet. Inside was food bought from the county town.

"My name is Yi Abao, and your name is Mo Shisheng, right? You can really sleep! Do you want to eat? It's specially reserved for you, otherwise the little gray ferret will eat it all!"

Shi Sheng rolled his eyes and knew from his name that the other person was his master's grandnephew.

"Want something to eat."

Shi Sheng lay down next to the food box, picked out a few pastries and tasted them. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he couldn't wait to share his dream with Yi Shuyuan.

"Master, I have had many dreams. Some dreams are very clear but very unreal, and some dreams are very real but not clear.

By the way, I also dreamed that I was dressed in black, with black scales and black claws, so majestic."

Shi Sheng stood up on the carriage as he spoke, breathing in his chest to make himself more powerful, and gesticulating with his palms like claws. The funny and cute look made Yi Abao and Yi Shuyuan smile.

"But it fell from the sky, and he died soon after. It hurt so much. He woke up in the end, but luckily he didn't die!"

Yi Abao listened and found it funny. Children are especially prone to have all kinds of strange dreams.

"You're from a kid's house, you're talking about life or death!"

Yi Shuyuan was thoughtful when he heard the words, and at this moment he also smiled and rubbed Shi Sheng's head.

"How are you recovering mentally?"

"It has fully recovered!"

"That's good."

At this time, the coachman's voice also came from the front.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, we are almost here~~"

"Oh, please go to the door of Yi's house, which is the big house in the village!"

"I recognize it!"

The coachman cracked his whip and the horses sped up a little faster.

When he arrived outside Yi's house, Yi Shuyuan paid and got out of the car, looking at the high gate of the compound and the white walls and black tiles.

The location is still the same, but the house is much more impressive. Although it can't compare with the really wealthy homes I have seen, it is definitely a big family here.

The gate of the yard was open, and a big yellow dog was tied at the door, wagging its tail at Yi Abao.

"Woof woof, woof woof woof."

Yi Abao walked quickly to the door carrying the book box and shouted loudly inside.

"Mom and dad - grandpa, grandma - grandpa uncle is back - grandpa uncle is back -"

Yi Shuyuan followed Yi Abao into the door. The big yellow dog also wagged its tail at him and Shi Sheng, but when it saw Hui Mian on his shoulder, it made a threatening sound with its teeth bared.

"Hmph, dogs look down on people, how can you be so cruel?"

Hui Mian whispered, showing a fierce look towards the big yellow dog.

"hiss!"

The big dog immediately shrank back with a "wuwuwuwu." It was obviously frightened when it heard a mink talking.

This scene also made Yi Shuyuan and Shi Shengzhi happy.

Abao, who didn't notice the changes behind him, had already hurried to the hall, and his shouts could be heard throughout the Yi family courtyard.

When Yi Shuyuan and Shi Sheng arrived in the living room, his sister-in-law Zhao and nephew-in-law Li hurried over.

When they saw that it was Yi Shuyuan who had returned, both of them had surprise on their faces.

"It's uncle!" "Uncle is really back!"

"Uncle, please hurry up! Make some tea for uncle!"

"Oh! I'm going to boil water!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were excited and seemed a little confused.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the cold water in the hall will be fine."

Hearing what Yi Shuyuan said, Mrs. Zhao quickly picked up the teapot and poured water for Yi Shuyuan.

It can be seen that compared to the first time back home, the excitement in the eyes of my sister-in-law Zhao this time is not fake.

Compared with before, Mrs. Zhao has a lot more gray hair on her head, and her nephew and daughter-in-law have also lost their youthfulness.

"I haven't been home for many years. How is your family?"

Yi Shuyuan said and sat down on the chair. Zhao poured tea for him and answered with a smile.

"Everything is fine, everything is fine! Life at home has been getting better and better these years!"

Mrs. Zhao now looks in awe of Yi Shuyuan. Even she knows that her family is what it is today, in addition to the hard work of her family, it is also thanks to her uncle.

Looking at Yi Shuyuan's appearance, Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle, he really doesn't look old at all! By the way, is this kid the uncle you are out there with?"

"Grandma, this is uncle's disciple, his name is Mo Shisheng, and he is from Mingzhou!"

Zhao understood and nodded inexplicably with relief.

Shi Sheng quickly stepped forward and bowed solemnly to his elders.

"My dear Mo Shisheng, meet your aunt!"

"Oh, you are so good! You look like a child from a wealthy family!"

As Zhao said, she suddenly noticed Hui Mian standing on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.

"Oh, is this mink still alive?"

Xihe Village is so close to Kuonan Mountain, so we have some idea of ​​how long some animals can live. In Zhao's opinion, the average mink is not as long-lived as cats and dogs, and cannot live for seven or eight years.

Hui Mian's hair was blown. Can he speak? I don’t know anything about you!

With this thought in mind, Hui Mian jumped to the ground and disappeared without a trace. It was going to see if it could catch some game to satisfy its craving.

"By the way, go and call your grandpa and daddy, they will be there"

Before Zhao finished speaking to Abao, hurried footsteps could already be heard outside.

Abao had just roared so loudly that it could be heard by nearby neighbors. Yi Baokang and Yi Yongan, father and son, also hurried home after hearing the words.

"Brother!" "Uncle!"

Two excited voices came from the courtyard door, and Yi Shuyuan also stood up from his seat.

"Bao Kang, Yong An!"

Yi Yong'an is already an out-and-out middle-aged man, and he is also very well-dressed. He is not wearing a bundt, but a t-shirt.

Yi Baokang was much older, his hair was all white, and he was dressed like an ordinary old farmer, but there were muddy tears in his eyes.

The past ten years may not be a big deal to Yi Shuyuan, but to his aging brother Yi Baokang, it is enough to completely change his appearance.

The father and son walked closer and couldn't help but look Yi Shuyuan up and down.

"Brother! Your hair has turned gray, but your face still doesn't look old. I thought you would be gone for another few decades, but I don't have a few decades left to live."

The older people get, the more they miss the past and their old friends. Yi Baokang is very satisfied with his current life. What he cares about most is his brother who is alone at this age.

"Dad, why are you talking about this? Uncle, just come back. Just come back."

"That's right, just come back!"

Yi Shuyuan didn't say anything, just patted Yi Baokang on the shoulder and nodded to Yi Yongan.

But when Yi Yongan looked at his uncle, although his hair was gray, he really didn't look like an old man in his seventies, and he couldn't help but think about the rumors in the village.
