Central part of the mainland, Qiguo.
Qiguo is located in the middle of the continent and slightly to the south. It is still the bitterly cold season in the north, but spring is already here. The young warrior entered the city after a long journey, and found a kind-faced old woman to ask for the address: "Old man, excuse me, do you know how to get to Lishui Lane in Changchunfang?"
The old woman raised her hand to point the direction to the young warrior.
Qiguo has experienced a lot of ups and downs in recent years, and even the royal capital has suffered from several wars, with mottled marks everywhere. As the young warrior walked towards Changchunfang, the surrounding buildings became lower and lower. It was obvious at a glance that it was lacking in repairs and was not a good area for dignitaries to live. Despite this, Changchunfang has a fireworks atmosphere that is not found in other places. People running about for a living can be seen everywhere, street vendors sell goods along the street, and naughty children play and play from time to time. This atmosphere also infected young warriors.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and his steps became longer.
He asked a few more passers-by, and finally stopped at the door of a house. He raised his hand and knocked lightly until a response came from inside the door.
"coming!"
Hearing this voice, the young warrior hugged him as soon as the wooden door opened: "Brother Six, I'm back!"
The visitor was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He raised his hand and pushed it: "Let go, it stinks."
The young warrior bent his arms and sniffed: "What's the smell?"
Fang Yan looked at the young warrior's face, which had turned dark several times, and said angrily: "How long has it been since you last washed your face?"
As a doctor, I have some mysophobia.
He will feel uncomfortable if he does not wash for more than three days.
It just so happens that none of the men around me like to take a shower.
The young warrior let go of his hands in embarrassment, and clasped his hands with a silly smile on his face: "I am in a hurry to come to see my sixth brother. I don't dare to stop too much on the way. It's only... six or seven days, right? The weather is six or seven days. It doesn’t matter if you wash it once…”
His voice became softer and softer.
He swallowed the rest of the words.
Being stared at by Sixth Brother made his scalp numb: "Sixth Brother, I'm going to take a bath now, which can be considered as washing off the dust... Where is the well?"
After taking two steps into the courtyard, he couldn't walk anymore. Someone grabbed him by the collar. Fang Yan said, "There happens to be hot water in the kitchen."
I got some hot water and took a quick bath.
Fang Yan held a neatly folded men's suit and placed it on the stool next to the bathtub: "After washing, change into this suit."
Not long after, the young warrior wiped his wet hair.
Fang Yan was drying herbs in the courtyard. When he heard the noise, he turned around to check. When he saw that the other party's skin color had returned to normal, he nodded with satisfaction: "Qingzhi, how are my sister-in-law and nephew?"
The young warrior was naturally Chao Lian, who had traveled all the way to Qi State. He sat down on the wooden steps and said, "It's all good. My eldest nephew has matured a lot after this ordeal. Now he lives with his sister-in-law and the others in Longwu County and is protected by Lord Shen. My younger brother When I left, the overall situation there had been decided, and there should be no war in a few years..."
In recent years, my sister-in-law, nephew and others have been safe.
Fang Yan paused while drying the herbs: "Shen Youli?"
Then he returned to his normal state and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect him to win. Even if he wins, at least he is a conscientious person. It is better than Huang Liezhang and others having the last laugh..."
Chao Lian suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, let me tell you some news - this Lord Shen is a female monarch."
Fang Yan: “…???”
Chao Lian was afraid that he would not believe it, so he repeated it again.
“Shen Jun is really a female monarch.”
Fang Yan: “…”
Chao Lian saw that he didn’t have an overreaction and was straightforward and boring. It was obviously earth-shattering news, so why was he so calm?
“Alas, my sister-in-law refuses to remarry…”
“The eldest nephew has found a position in Longwu County, and his words and deeds are becoming more like that of an elder brother. He treats his younger brothers and sisters very well.”
“Sister-in-law also asked my younger brother to bring some things...”
The brothers were bathed in the golden sunshine.
One speaks and the other listens.
Chao Lian recounted his experiences along the way, as well as the scenes and conversations he had when he reunited with his sister-in-law, nephew, and others. He went into great detail and refused to miss a single detail. As he said that, Chao Lian's eyes turned red first, and before he could shed tears, he forcefully held them back.
“Sixth brother, where is Thirteen? How is he doing?”
When Fang Yan heard that his thirteenth brother Shaochong was worrying him, Fang Yan sighed and said, "It's the best news that it hasn't worsened. It's just that he can't remember the past things clearly, and his mind is only six years old. Fortunately, Shaobai is here." On the other hand, I have never lost control."
Chao Lian stopped wiping his hair.
Turning his head and looking around, there was no bad smell in the house.
“Where did Thirteen go?”
“He was bored and went out to play with Shaobai.”
Jimo Qiu’s wisdom aperture was blocked, and he only had a six-year-old mind. Shaochong was due to the backlash of evil thoughts, and he only had a six-year-old mind. These two "peers" with different situations are surprisingly harmonious. As long as there are no classes in the academy, the two of them will hang out with the neighborhood kids.
At first, the parents of the children were worried that these two would hurt the children, but since they showed off their skills and saved Aunt Li's child next door, the adults no longer objected to their interaction. After getting acquainted with each other, the neighbors misunderstood each other and were extremely tolerant of these two tall fools. Fang Yan and Fourth Uncle Lin would receive discounts when they went out to buy groceries, and occasionally they would be given a small change.
【Well, it's not easy for two grown men to raise an old man and spoil two energetic young men...】
They are not short of money, but they are not too rich either.
Jimo Qiu is a little better. He will use part of the energy of heaven and earth to make up for his need for food, but Shao Chong, who has a chaotic mind, cannot do that. He wants to eat when he is hungry, but he is at the quasi-sixteenth level of the Great Superior Realm, and one person can do the work of more than a dozen people.
Afraid of having nothing to do, Fang Yan also used his medical skills to diagnose and treat people, and collected some medical fees to supplement his family's income, even if it was a drop in the bucket.
Now that Chao Lian is back, the pressure in life can be much less.
At noon, Jimo Qiu and Shaochong came back.
Fang Yan looked at the two men with disgraced faces, rolling back from nowhere in the mud, and suddenly became angry. He raised his hand and grabbed Shao Chong's ears: "You have made such a mess with your clothes again. In one month, seven or eight of them will be scrapped." , you don’t need money?”
Shao Chong made a mistake and hid behind Jimo Qiu.
Fang Yan became even more angry when he saw this.
"Why are you hiding? Don't pretend you don't understand. I know you understand! Why don't you go take a shower and clean up?"
Chao Lian then realized that the water boiled in the kitchen was prepared for the two of them. He said how could it be such a coincidence: "Thirteen looks much better than before. Maybe he can recover in a few years."
"If he doesn't recover, brother will be angry first." Fang Yan had already turned over all the herbs. When he lowered his head and saw that his fingertips were stained with dust, he couldn't help but wash his hands twice, "Thirteen doesn't know. He learned it from a neighbor, and became more and more naughty. He was just naughty, and he even took Shao Bai with him to learn bad things..."
The only good thing is that Jimo Yu doesn't mind.
Lehehe: [In the past, Shaobai always stayed with Lao Chan and restrained his childish nature. Now this is good. 】
Jim Moyu said this, but Fang Yan didn't dare to believe it.
"In the beginning, I was just wandering around, but now I have learned to chase the chickens away from the dogs..." At this point, Fang Yan's expression suddenly stiffened and twisted, and he gritted his teeth, "Yesterday, he took Shaobai to play with some neighbor children. Compete to see who can pee farther."
Chao Lian: “…”
Children of several years old would still be able to smile after doing this, but Shisan and Shaobai are both adults! !
Fang Yan waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's not done."
When he came back from a medical visit, he saw several children coaxing the two of them into a corner with ill intentions, and he knew that they had not held it in well and would kill everything before their belts were loosened! After coming back, Fang Yan used the ruler to spread the young man's buttocks, and repeatedly told the two of them not to play such an immoral and hooligan game! They should also be smarter, and they will be quick to believe anyone else's lies!
When asked why, the old man would just say one sentence.
【You just worry blindly. 】
Fang Yan: 【…】
Jimo Yu: [Shaobai still listens to the old man’s words. 】
In fact, Jimo Qiu simply suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Because Jimo Yu’s three orders and five orders told him that he must abide by male virtues. Before he stepped down from the position of high priest, he was a man serving God. If he did something immoral and angered the gods enshrined by his clan, Jimo Qiu might be fine, but the capital of Qi State would be filled with thunder and lightning again. Even if it's not for his own innocence, he still has to cover the collars of others.
Shaobai remembered the teacher's instructions.
So, I have no intention of participating in the competition, I am just a spectator.
Chao Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "It will work if you don't do it."
He sighed again: "Thirteen was not so naughty before."
Fang Yan rolled his eyes: "Before Thirteen, he was detained by us, and the only people he could learn from were our brothers. Now that he has come into contact with more people, he will naturally learn from his 'peers' subconsciously. However, boys of this age , cats hate dogs.”
No matter how naughty the children in the neighborhood are, they are limited by their bodies and abilities and cannot make much noise, but Shisan is different. If Chao Lian never comes back, Fang Yan suspects that he will have a heart attack sooner or later, but he is also relieved at the same time.
Brother’s greatest wish during his lifetime was to make Shaochong happy. If the spirit in heaven could see this scene, he would also be happy.
Hearing this, Chao Lian laughed loudly: "Sixth brother, don't be angry, be careful of getting angry. Let's think about it. At the age of six or seven, we might be more noisy and annoying than Thirteen and the others."
“Just be annoying, don’t take me with you.” Fang Yan has been studying medicine since he was a child. He has been exposed to medicinal materials and medical books since he could remember. There are endless thick and heavy books to memorize every day. How can he have the chance to jump up and down? It would save him a lot of trouble when he was young.
While we were joking, Fourth Uncle Lin also came back.
Chao Lian took out the gift prepared by Lin from his luggage.
He couldn't help but blush when he saw the object with the family emblem. He turned aside to wipe away his tears and asked, "How is it at the old house?"
Chao Lian reported everything he saw and heard.
Uncle Lin was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Niece Jiaojiao survived the catastrophe, but still managed to gather the heart of a second-rank Chinese scholar as a woman, followed the warlord leader Shen Tang, and finally ransacked the family's house...Lin Feng established his own branch and is now the head of the Lin family, responsible for taking care of the Lin family. Everyone in the old house.
Uncle Lin hurriedly opened two letters from home.
One is written by my grandfather and one is written by my niece.
Looking at the hometown pronunciation of my old friend on the paper, my eyes turned red again.
Chao Lian said softly: "Would you like to go back and take a look?"
Uncle Lin shook his head: "No."
He can't get away now. His life was saved by Jimo Yu's master and apprentice. In order to repay the favor of saving his life, he promised Jimo Yu to stay with Jimo Qiu until Zhiqiao was unsealed. Jimo Yu's body is getting worse day by day, and he may drive away to the west at any time. He cannot leave at this juncture. Knowing that his family was well, he was already satisfied and did not dare to ask for anything else.
“If we are destined, we will meet one day.”
Sith Uncle Lin solemnly put away the family letter.
In the following years, I took it out and read it carefully from time to time.
Yes, a few years.
Uncle Lin thought that Jimo Yu would be alive in a few days, but he didn't expect that this old guy had to endure for another five years. Five years!
Five years—
It is not long when it is said to be long, and it is not short when it is said to be short.
Jimo Yu is already too old to look good.
The tall and straight body when he was young has now shrunk a lot, and his back is stooped. He looks like a thin and short old man with white beard and hair. Fourth Uncle Lin saw that he could die at any time, but he didn't seem to die, so he couldn't help but ask: "No, old man, you lied to me again, didn't you?"
Who said that he could die at any time?
Jimo Yu tapped his cane on the ground: "Silence."
Uncle Lin is not afraid of him: "Look at your age, why don't you just stay at home and wait for your end? Why don't you come to this deep mountain forest? How can you climb up there with your old arms and legs?"
It’s another cold spring.
The temperature in the mountains is lower than outside.
Even Uncle Lin couldn't help but shiver.
Jimo Yu: "It's almost time. When I'm dying, I have to see my old friends. Otherwise, how could I be so willing to die like this?"
Jimo Qiu supported Jimo Yu on one side, and the master and apprentice climbed up the stairs step by step. Compared with five years ago, his appearance is more and more brilliant. The only flaw is that his eyes are too pure and ignorant. Outsiders can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with his mind...
Uncle Lin and Jimo Yu talked about life and death in front of him, but he didn't show any emotion because he didn't understand what death was at all. If you don’t understand, you can’t feel sad.
Uncle Lin sighed deeply: "Alas..."
Behind the three people are Fang Yan and Shao Chong.
In order to support his family, Chao Lian used his status as a brave warrior to find a position in Qi State, where he only took money and did not work. It happened to be his turn to be on duty today, so he couldn't follow him. In fact, Brother Fang Yan shouldn't have come, so Jimo Yu asked him to come.
Fang Yan thought he was on an outing to visit friends.
The results are getting more and more biased—
There is a cold and eerie atmosphere in the air.
What friends would live here?
After all the hard work to climb to the top of the mountain, Jimo Yu signaled Jimo Qiu to let go of his hand. He straightened his rickety back, took two steps forward, and clasped his fists: "Jimo Yu, a member of the Gongxi clan, is here to visit with his disciples."
As the words fell, the scenery in front of him suddenly became distorted.
In the blink of an eye, it becomes a different world.
A lush bamboo forest.
The bamboo house is hidden behind the bamboo shadow.
“What are you two doing here?”
The old man in green clothes flashed in front of everyone.
He looked at the old Jimo Yu, with disgust and a fleeting hatred in his eyes, but he suppressed it.
The feeling of painting the ground as a prison for hundreds of years can be imagined.
Jim Moyu used an old and hoarse voice to say what the old man longed for most: "Nature is here to set you free."
The old man’s spirit suddenly shook: “Seriously?”
Jim Moyu looked gloomy: "Of course it is true."
Today is the day when this person will be free again.
The Gongxi clan’s Gu is about to mature.

A warning for the next chapter, Jimo Yu is going offline, and the unlucky guy who has been imprisoned for hundreds of years is also going offline. The male protagonist Jimo Qiu (Zhiqiao unblocked version) is online.
PS: Alas, I forgot whether I named Fourth Uncle Lin...
