Chapter Eleven
Qingze County is one of the two counties owned by the Chen family. It has a population of more than hundreds of thousands, and nearly half of the population of Qingze County is here.
On a hillside not far outside Qingze County, Chen Zimo was telling Lin Qing and his brother and sister to stay here and not run around. He wanted to go home and then take them to Tianhefang City.
Chen Zimo did not have a magic weapon to hold corpses and store souls, and it was impossible to bring Lin Qing and his sister into the city. He could only leave them outside the city and enter the city alone.
Lin Qing has two Yin Gathering Stones in her hand, which continuously provide her with Yin Qi, so no matter where they are, there is enough Yin Qi for them to practice. It's just a matter of how fast they practice.
Like an ordinary mortal, Chen Zimo walked into Qingze County step by step and felt the hustle and bustle of the city that he had not seen for a long time.
In a small yard due east of the county seat, a beautiful woman in her thirties, wearing a white dress, was sitting in her yard doing needlework.
In the small courtyard, in addition to the beautiful woman in white, there were two old men sitting aside to bask in the sun, and a little child about three or four years old who was running around in the courtyard.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard!
The beautiful middle-aged woman who was about to get up and open the door had just put down her needlework, but the little child had already run to the door, gritted his teeth, opened the door bolt with force, and pushed open the courtyard door.
After opening the door, the little child saw Chen Zimo dressed in black. He was not afraid of strangers, tilted his head and asked in a childish voice.
"Brother, who are you looking for?"
Chen Zimo hurried to the door of his home based on his childhood memories. Looking at everything familiar around him, he felt like he was back when he was a child.
He knocked gently on his door, thinking that the person waiting to open the door would be his long-missed mother, his energetic grandfather, or his kind and kind grandmother.
But what he never expected was that the person who opened the door was actually a little child who was very similar to himself. From a little child, he vaguely felt the intimacy of blood connection. This child should be related to him by blood.
Relationship brother.
When he thought that the little boy in front of him was his blood-related brother, Chen Zimo couldn't control his thoughts for a while, and many speculations appeared in his mind.
As a result, he didn't hear the little child's words clearly at all, or he heard them clearly, but didn't have the intention to reply.
Just when Chen Zimo was thinking wildly, the middle-aged beautiful woman walked to the door. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of her, the middle-aged beautiful woman walked over excitedly and held his hands tightly, asking a little incoherently.
"Xiaomo, is that you?"
Just after asking, the beautiful woman glanced at Chen Zimo again, and then said in a positive tone: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
This beautiful woman is Chen Zimo's mother, Bai Shi.
They hadn't seen each other for thirteen years, but the first time they met, Bai recognized that this was her child, her first child, the child who had been away from her for thirteen years.
Bai Shi recognized Chen Zimo at a glance, and Chen Zimo naturally recognized his mother at a glance.
"Mother, I'm back!"
The sentence "I'm back" conveys Chen Zimo's longing for many years, and also pours out the sadness, depression, and helplessness in Bai's heart for many years.
Chen Zimo originally thought that his mother would be happy and joyful when she saw that he was back.
But Bai Shi hugged him tightly, hugged him hard, and cried without any warning, and it wasn't just ordinary crying, but the kind of heartbreaking crying.
Eighteen years ago, her husband left her forever; thirteen years ago, her children also left her; five years ago, her husband came back.
But he only stayed for a month and then left again. He also told her clearly that he would not come back in the future. He hoped that she could help him take care of his parents and provide for them until the end of his life.
Her husband no longer wants her, but he still wants her to serve his parents and fulfill his filial piety.
She endured all of this, and she accepted it, because she still had two children, children who fell out of her body.
She endured it and admitted it, but it didn't mean that she didn't complain. She just didn't have the chance to vent it. Although her parents-in-law treated her very well, it was impossible to vent it to them, let alone others.
Now, her eldest son is back, spending the most difficult time with her and relying on each other.
She could finally find someone to vent her grievances to, and she no longer had to bear it all alone. Her little man had grown up and could protect her.
In the small courtyard, Mrs. Bai cooked a table of sumptuous dishes, and the family of five finished their lunch amid laughter and laughter.
After lunch, Mrs. Bai and her grandmother washed the dishes together. Chen Zimo, his grandfather and the little boy sat in the yard to eat. They chatted about what had happened over the years and the little boy.
Regarding this little boy, Bai Shi only told him that the little boy's name was Chen Gang, that he was his younger brother, half brother from the same father and mother, and nothing else was said.
From his gray-haired grandfather, Chen Zimo learned everything and why his mother cried so sadly when she saw him. All of these were the good deeds of his father, whom he had never met before.
When he came back, he left Bai a child, but Bai's heart was broken all over.
In the past, Chen Zimo thought that his father might have encountered something, or was trapped in a dangerous place.
He has always been thinking in a good direction, maybe he wants a complete family and an arm he can rely on.
Chen Zimo originally thought that when he reached the advanced stage of Qi training, he would leave the family and look for his father. He would search from place to place. As long as his father's soul card remained alive, he would keep looking.
Now that he knows this unacceptable fact, he doesn't know how he should treat Chen Yuanshan when he meets him in the future. Should he hate his biological father? Or...
For himself, Chen Yuanshan has half of the credit for his coming to this world. He should be grateful to him, repay him, and be filial to him.
However, Chen Yuanshan deeply hurt the Bai family and the mother he loved and cared about most. Based on this alone, Chen Yuanshan was hateful and unforgivable.
In the evening, after the family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, the grandparents took Chen Gang to rest.
The elderly and children are not as energetic as young people. When the time is up, it is time to rest.
Bai took Chen Zimo to the room where he lived when he was a child. The room was spotless and had obviously been cleaned regularly. The quilts and other items had also been washed and dried.
Everything in the room was so familiar to Chen Zimo. From the simplest decorations in the room to the most conspicuous pear wood bed, they were exactly the same as when he left.
The passage of time has left traces on these furniture. This may be the only change in this room in the past thirteen years.
That night, Bai and Chen Zimo chatted until late at night before going back to the room to rest. The two of them talked about trivial matters in life. To be precise, Bai was talking and he was listening.
This night was the most comfortable night, the deepest night, the longest night, and the most peaceful night that Chen Zimo had ever slept since he started practicing.
Since breaking through the qi training period, Chen Zimo seldom sleeps. He spends his nights practicing. Only when he is particularly tired, he will take a nap, but it is only a light sleep.
