On the day Bai Xiaohu was taken away, he wanted to go home early after class, but Zhu Zhu wanted to go play with Er Niu.
So, Bai Xiaohu walked home from the school by himself. It wasn't a long journey to begin with. In the past, they and their little brothers would walk and play together, and everyone in the village was familiar with them.
As a result, he walked halfway between two dense trees, and someone who jumped down from above covered his mouth, put him in a sack, and took him away from the mountain path.
When Zhu Zhu went home, he panicked when he saw that Bai Xiaohu hadn't come back yet, saying that he had left first.
The Bai family searched everywhere in the village. When it got dark and no one was seen, they knew something must have happened. Su Bai mobilized the young adults in the village to search for a long time in nearby mountains and neighboring villages. Bai Xiaohu was not found, and no one had seen him.
.
The Bai family felt like the sky was falling. Uncle Bai's hair turned white overnight, Aunt Bai cried every day, and Mrs. Liu refused to sleep at night, saying she would sit at the door and wait for Xiaohu to come home.
Zhuzi blamed himself and said that he should go home from school with his brother, so that the kidnapper might not dare to take action when he saw the two of them.
Everyone in the village, including the Bai family, believed that Bai Xiaohu had been kidnapped and sold by traffickers.
This kind of thing can always be heard from all over the country. Both boys and girls have been abducted, but they have not been recovered. In addition to the scandal caused by Wu Yun and Wu Huaian and his son, they only found
Back to Liu Xiaoyue, now I don’t know where she has gone.
It is said that the boys who were abducted were sold as slaves, and the girls were mostly sold into Goulan Yard.
The Bai family's life was getting better and better after getting to know Su Liang. Within a month of Bai Xiaohu's disappearance, they became gloomy and couldn't live their lives.
Until Su Bai received a letter from Su Liang from the capital and learned that Su Liang had rescued Bai Xiaohu and would send him home soon, he was overjoyed and rushed to Bai's house to tell them the good news.
.
In fact, Su Liang explained the whole story in her letter, and Bai Xiaohu was implicated by her.
But Su Bai didn't tell the Bai family that much. He only said that Bai Xiaohu was taken to the capital and Su Liang rescued him.
The Bai family confirmed again and again that they were so excited that they cried and laughed when Su Bai swore that it was true.
After that, every day after school, Zhu Zhu would look toward the village entrance for a long time, waiting for Su Liang and Bai Xiaohu to come back.
Su Bai led people to repair the ancestral grave of Su Yuanzhou's family, clearing away the weeds and gravel, and determined the location of the grave based on Feng Shui. The manpower was also ready.
Everyone in the village knew that Su Liang saved Bai Xiaohu and would soon send her family's coffin back to their hometown for burial. They even praised her for being powerful and filial.
Entering September, the weather is getting colder and colder in the small villages in the north.
That day Zhuzi was wearing the thin cotton coat he had picked up from Bai Xiaohu. After school, he stood at the bridge looking at the entrance of the village waiting for his brother.
After waiting for a long time, the sun was about to set. When he heard Aunt Bai calling him to go back, Zhu Zhu sighed, turned the schoolbag he was carrying across his body, and was about to go home.
At the moment he turned around, Zhuzhu heard the faint sound of horse hooves.
There are cows, donkeys and two mules in the village, but usually no horses.
Zhuzi rubbed his eyes, saw the carriage, and rushed out immediately, "It's brother! Brother is back!"
Aunt Bai didn't hear it, but she stood at the door of her house and saw that her grandson was missing from the bridge. She immediately panicked and ran over.
"Brother! Brother!" Zhu Zhu shouted loudly, fell down and immediately got up and ran in the direction of the carriage.
Bai Xiaohu poked his head out of the car and waved at the pillar, "Brother! Brother! I'm here!"
Qi Jun was also in the car, and Su Liang was in the car behind. The coffins of the Su family followed behind, and the queue was very long.
When the villagers heard the noise, they all walked out of their houses. As soon as they saw the carriage, they knew that Su Liang was back.
When the carriage came to the pillar, Qi Jun reached out and picked him up.
"elder brother!"
"younger brother!"
The two children hugged each other, laughing at first, and then started crying.
Qi Jun watched from the side, feeling sour in his heart. Suddenly he missed his brother so much. He hadn't had a fight in a long time...
Aunt Bai stood at the end of the bridge, wiping her tears and watching the carriage approach.
After Su Liang's treatment and Qi Jun's careful care, Bai Xiaohu was in good health. He ate delicious food and enjoyed the scenery along the way. His flesh also grew back. His face was rosy and his skin was several degrees whiter than before. He looked like a handsome person.
A handsome young man.
Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu got off the carriage and rushed over to hug Aunt Bai.
Aunt Bai couldn't help but burst into tears when she looked at her lost and found eldest grandson, and hugged her tightly without letting go.
Many villagers came around and said that Xiaohu had grown taller and fairer, and that he looked more impressive than the young masters in the city. When Su Liang got out of the car, they all said hello to her.
The last time Su Liang returned to the village to live, she had basically recognized the people in the village. At that time, the school she had funded was on the right track, and the villagers were very enthusiastic towards her.
Su Liang called people one by one and greeted everyone.
Su Bai, who came after hearing the news, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Liang and Bai Xiaohu coming back safe and sound. He still affectionately called her "Liang girl" and arranged to take the coffins to the Su family's ancestral hall.
After the escort in charge delivered the coffin, Su Liang settled the balance with them and gave them another reward, and then they could withdraw.
I originally thought that Su Liang's enemies might show up along the way, but there were no surprises. Their journey was easy.
Su Liang opened the door and returned to the familiar yard alone. Some of the weeds in the yard had grown again, probably grass seeds floating down from the mountains.
But this was Su Liang's first home after traveling through time, and it was also the place where she felt most relaxed and comfortable. Even looking at the green and yellow weeds on the ground, she felt cute.
Aunt Bai called her two daughters-in-law to come over and help Su Liang clean up. When she entered the door, she saw her standing quietly in the yard.
This situation made Aunt Bai immediately think of "Ning Jing", thinking that Su Liang must be sad because of "Ning Jing"'s death, but she just didn't show it in front of others. The last time Su Liang left in a hurry, she received the news, "
Tingjing” was killed.
Aunt Bai sighed deeply, "Liang girl! Let's help you clean up!"
Su Liang turned around with a smile on her face, which made Aunt Bai stunned for a moment. Because she thought Su Liang was crying silently in front of the room where "Ning Jing" lived...
In short, this matter made Aunt Bai a little confused. When she went back and mentioned it to her wife, Uncle Bai sighed and said, "That child Ningjing has been gone for a while. Liang girl has a strong temper. When have you ever seen her cry? You must be thinking.
Already."
Su Liang did not refuse the Bai family's kindness, so Aunt Bai took her daughter-in-law to clean up.
After Su Liang put her luggage in the room, she went to the backyard.
The last time he left, there were pumpkins and eggplants growing in the backyard. Gu Ling even picked an eggplant and a pumpkin to take away. The first time he showed his true face to Su Liang was that night in the woods with Su Liang.
After eating the delicious roasted eggplant, the pumpkin was too tender, so he made dumplings with pumpkin and egg fillings the next day.
The eggplant leaves are all yellow now, but you can still see two late-ripening purple eggplants, round and shiny.
Most of the pumpkin vines climbing on the wall are dry, but there are about four or five long old pumpkins still hanging on the vines, with a layer of white frost on them. The first time he saw them, Su Liang was already thinking about pumpkin cakes.
How to make pumpkin soup.
The doors and windows of the room are tightly closed, and it can be settled with a simple cleaning.
After getting rid of the weeds in the yard, Aunt Bai helped to clean up the kitchen. Su Liang thanked her and took the gifts specially given to them, such as clothing materials and snacks. Aunt Bai was cheerful and did not refuse, and went back with her daughter-in-law.
.
They had just left for a while when Uncle Bai carried a pole and brought two large baskets of food, all of which were their own ingredients, and brought some of each to Su Liang.
Aunt Bai had already invited Su Liang to eat at her house, so she didn't have to open the fire herself. But Su Liang said that she would stay for a while this time and she didn't want to cook and eat at Bai's house, not to be polite to them.
Of course, if Su Liang was really alone, she would come to Bai's house every day to have a meal. But there was a fairy in the dark, so there was nothing she could do.
Su Liang thanked Uncle Bai and chatted with him for a while.
Su Bai came over to discuss the burial with Su Liang.
Su Yuanzhou has been gone for such a long time, and only Su Liang, the granddaughter, is left. Su Bai means that the funeral should be simple, and it is proper to bury people in the ancestral grave.
Su Liang said that everything in this matter was arranged by Su Bai, who has always been a thoughtful person. The villagers helped and held a flowing feast after the burial.
It was finally decided that the grave would be raised tomorrow and buried the day after.
Su Liang had previously asked the messenger to give Su Bai a banknote. She took out another one. Su Bai stood up and left, "The one I gave you last time was of no use! You should take a rest quickly! I'll go back!"
Finally, the small courtyard became quiet again.
Qi Jun went to Bai Xiaohu's house and took Su Liang to pay. Bai Xiaohu picked out many gifts and sent them one by one, but he still hasn't come back.
"Let him live at Xiaohu's house." Gu Ling's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Su Liang was not frightened at all. When she turned around and saw him walking out of the inner room, his face was still disguised.
"Have you seen the eggplants and pumpkins in the backyard?" Su Liang asked.
Gu Ling nodded, "I saw crispy eggplant and pumpkin cake."
Su Liang chuckled, "Me too." In fact, she is not usually a greedy person, but the food she grew up makes her want to eat it.
"Let Qi Jun live at Xiaohu's house." Gu Ling said again.
Su Liang thought for a while, "That's right. Otherwise, you won't be able to live there. Although this courtyard is not small, it is clearly different from Yuanming Pavilion. Let Qi Jun live there and teach Xiaohu and Zhuzhu how to learn martial arts.
Learn a little bit to keep fit. If there are other children who are willing to learn, you can join us and save them from being bored."
At this time, Qi Jun, who had just come out of Erniu's house with Xiaohu and Zhuzi, looked at the beautiful mountain village scenery in front of him and couldn't help but look forward to the leisurely and comfortable life ahead...
After the gifts were delivered, Qi Jun came back, followed by two tails.
"Sister Su Liang! Sister Su Liang!" Zhu Zhu kept shouting as soon as he entered the door.
When Su Liang came out, Zhu Zhu ran to her and said with a smile, "Sister Su Liang, I have grown taller!"
Su Liang rubbed Zhu Zhu's still fluffy hair and said with a smile, "I've grown taller." When we first met, he was still a sickly baby. Now he is like a strong calf, full of vitality.
.
After a while, Qi Jun said he would send the two little guys back, and he also chose the original firewood shed in the corner, which Su Liang would later clean up to practice medicine. "My subordinates will live in that hut."
But I heard Su Liang say, "You should live at Xiaohu's house."
Qi Jun was stunned. When Su Liang asked him to teach the children to practice martial arts, he thought it was a good thing. He also liked being with the children, but he didn't seem to have to live in Xiaohu's house, right?
"It's because I didn't think well and for the sake of my master's reputation, I decided to go live with Xiaohu's house." Qi Jun thought about it and thought it should be like this. With a girl like Su Liang and him with a male attendant, it's easy for people to gossip.
Su Liang nodded solemnly, "Well, you go ahead. Food and accommodation are over there. If anything happens, I will go find you."
Bai Xiaohu and Zhuzi were very happy. One on each side, they pulled Qi Jun and ran away.
When Qi Jun arrived at Bai's house, Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai knew that he was going to live here, and they all felt that this was the way it should be. He was not a maid and could not live alone with Su Liang.
The Bai family warmly entertained Qi Jun. Uncle Bai let Qi Jun stay in the room of Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu, and the two children lived in the same room as their parents.
Qi Jun quickly said that he would be the master of the two children from now on, so he would just live with them.
Aunt Bai asked Qi Jun if he was married, if he had an engagement, and what kind of girl he liked. Qi Jun quickly said that he had to listen to his father on this matter.
Aunt Bai didn't want to introduce the girl from the village to Qi Jun. It was definitely not a good match. She just asked about this out of habit when she saw such a good young man.
The sun was almost setting when we entered the village. By the time Gu Ling lit the fire and Su Liang started preparing dinner, it was already dark.
Xiaohu brought four vegetarian steamed buns. Su Liang and Gu Ling each ate one first, and then started making crispy eggplant and pumpkin cakes.
The pumpkin Gu Ling picked was as long as his arm. He lit the fire, cut off a section as Su Liang pointed out, put the rest aside, and then peeled and removed the flesh.
"Don't throw away the pumpkin seeds, you can eat them," Su Liang said.
Gu Ling put the pumpkin flesh into a large clean bowl, steamed the cut pumpkin into pieces and crushed it before kneading the noodles.
Su Liang sighed while cutting the eggplant, "It seems like we have never left. What were we doing on this day last year?"
Gu Ling did not hesitate and said, "Sweet and sour pork ribs."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "I made sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner last year?"
Gu Ling nodded.
Su Liang said in a faint tone, "Master, your memory is so good, I can't remember it at all."
"I know you don't remember, so I just said it casually." Gu Ling said, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs tomorrow."
Su Liang:......
Su Liang tore off a piece of the fried first pumpkin cake, tasted it, and gave it to Gu Ling.
Sweet but not greasy, very delicious.
After the pumpkin cakes and crispy eggplants were ready, Su Liang asked Gu Ling to look at the soup in the pot. She brought a bowl of crispy eggplants and a small basket of pumpkin cakes and sent them to Bai's house.
The Bai family had just finished their meal, and when they saw Su Liang coming, they quickly made room for her.
"I still have some at home. I'll go back and eat." Su Liang put down the vegetables and cakes, and Zhu Zhu picked up a warm pumpkin cake and took a bite, saying loudly, "It's so delicious!"
Su Liang smiled and left.
When I got home, the lights were lit in the small hall, and Gu Ling's figure was reflected in the window. He was setting the meal.
Su Liang looked up and saw a shooting star streaking across the night sky, and soon there was another one.
"Meteor shower!" Su Liang looked surprised, "Master, come out quickly!"
Gu Ling walked to Su Liang's side and looked up at the night sky with her.
"It is said that if you make a wish on a shooting star, it will come true." Su Liang clasped his hands and closed his eyes, "Master, hurry up and make your wish."
Su Liang means that Gu Ling can travel to her previous life.
Gu Ling looked at the shooting stars, clasped her hands, and silently made a wish in her heart, "Su Xiaoliang and I will never be separated."
The meteor shower ended and the two of them walked to the room.
Gu Ling asked Su Liang, "What wish did you make?"
Su Liang blurted out, "Peace and health, the world is at peace."
Gu Ling crossed Su Liang and entered the room, "Eat the crispy eggplant while it's hot."
