The official road of the farmer

"Uncle Li? Uncle Li? Are you there?"

Ye Junshu went to Uncle Li's house early today, and planned to give Uncle Li the money for the prey he sold yesterday.

However, Uncle Li, who was practicing martial arts at this time, was usually nowhere to be seen. The wooden door was slightly open, and the yard was quiet, and it seemed that the house had been unoccupied for a long time. He shouted a few times, but got no response.

Ye Junshu suddenly felt a little strange.

He searched around inside and outside the house, and found many unusual places. The whole house was tidy and the items were neatly arranged.

Moreover, there is a packed package on the table, which seems to be ready for a long trip.

Ye Junshu had an ominous premonition. Uncle Li's actions meant that he was about to leave, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, Uncle Li came in from the outside, and Ye Junshu hurried up and asked, "Uncle Li..." Before he finished speaking, Li Hongying said, "It's just in time."

Ye Junshu asked, "Uncle Li, what is this...?"

Li Hongying did not answer directly, but said: "You have become acquainted with the people in the restaurant these days. I have already greeted the shopkeeper of the restaurant. From now on, you will send the prey there. They will take it. You send it as usual." That's it."

Ye Junshu didn't look happy at all, "What about you, Uncle Li?" It turned out that Uncle Li asked him to deliver the prey these days, did he want him to take over this route?It seems that he planned to leave a long time ago!

Li Hongying said: "I should go."

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Ye Junshu asked anxiously, "Uncle Li, what happened to you? Can I help?"

Li Hongying didn't say anything, he patted Ye Junshu on the shoulder without giving any specific explanation.

He took out a heavy palm-length money bag that was almost full, put it in Ye Junshu's hand, and continued to explain. "You keep the money for yourself, don't even think about giving it back to me."

Ye Junshu was holding a thick bag of silver, which should be almost Uncle Li's savings for so many years.He didn't know where Uncle Li was going, why didn't he keep it for himself?

He said with a sullen face, "Uncle Li, I can't take your money."

Li Hongying said: "Don't feel burdened, this is only part of my savings, I have already given the other part to the village chief and asked him to keep it for the village as a backup, and I keep the rest for myself." His money is divided He has done three jobs, and for the rest of his life, he wonders if he will have the chance to return to this quiet and peaceful mountain village. This small village has given him such a peaceful life for so many years, and he is still very grateful in his heart.

Ye Junshu continued to ask: "Uncle Li, where are you going?"

Li Hongying still didn't answer him, and instead said: "We may not see each other again in the future, but after so many years, I know you a little bit, you are a smart kid, I hope to hear from you in the future Good news for getting ahead."

Ye Junshu bowed his head and remained silent. He found out that he had been with Uncle Li for so many years, and followed him to practice martial arts to strengthen his body and go hunting.

But he didn't know anything about who Uncle Li used to be, what he did, who he met, and what kind of past he had.As far as he knew, Uncle Li had always been alone, with no son, no father, no mother, no husband.

Although he did not formally worship Uncle Li as his teacher, in Ye Junshu's heart, Uncle Li is undoubtedly a half-master.

Ye Junshu was greatly shocked by his sudden departure.

Why did Uncle Li leave?He has lived here alone for more than ten or twenty years. Ye Junshu has never seen Uncle Li's old friends come to look for him. Does Uncle Li have any relatives?Or is there something that needs to be done?

Ye Junshu's heart was extremely heavy, and he found that he was still a bit negligent.Uncle Li didn't intend to bring up his past. Ye Junshu always felt that he shouldn't pry into other people's privacy. What if it's something sad?Wouldn't it be offensive to mention it rashly?

At this time, Ye Junshu regretted that he had worried too much. He didn't want Uncle Li to leave. Ye Junshu had to admit that he was somewhat dependent on Uncle Li. Although Uncle Li had always been taciturn, he stood by his side. Let him rely on him like his close elders, so that he won't feel unable to hold on sometimes.

However, he found that he had no position to stop him from leaving.

Moreover, Uncle Li's attitude was extremely firm, as if he had a reason to leave.

Li Hongying said, "Boy Zhou, you have qualities that many people don't have. You have a tough personality, a pure heart but not stupid, a talent for reading, and you are not as lofty as most scholars and do not know how to be devious. Many of your opinions are very sharp and thorough, much better than some officials who don't know what to say.

If you have a chance in the future, go to the scientific examination. I think you are suitable to be an official. Maybe you will have something to do. I don’t want you to waste this talent. Think about your children. They may not think as much as you do. as fragile. "

Ye Junshu never knew that he had such a high evaluation in Uncle Li's eyes.

He suddenly understood what Uncle Li meant. He wanted to take the children out, or leave the children behind.Did he go out and make some troubles?

Ye Junshu was silent, and asked after a while, "Uncle Li, when are you leaving?"

Li Hongying didn't give Ye Junshu time to accept it at all, he said directly: "I'll leave right away."

Thousands of words, Ye Junshu gathered into one sentence: "Then you take care."

At this time, the genius is dim, and Ye Junshu insists on going to see him off.

Li Hongying had no choice but to send him to the entrance of the village.

Under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village was a big brown horse that looked very handsome. Ye Junshu felt that Uncle Li must have an extraordinary identity, at least not ordinary people. How could ordinary people know how to ride a horse?

Uncle Li said, "Go back."

Ye Junshu stood still, looking at Uncle Li silently, with mixed emotions in his heart.

Li Hongying quickly got on the horse, glanced at Ye Junshu, took the rein of the horse, turned around, scolded, and rode away quickly.

Ye Junshu watched Uncle Li quickly disappear from sight, and stood silently for a long time before turning back.

Maybe he was a little depressed, and there was something on his face unconsciously. The children were very well-behaved today and didn't bother him, but accompanied him caringly.

Ye Junshu looked around at a group of cute children, and soon cheered up.

Forget it, there is always a banquet in the world, no matter how much he thinks about it, it's useless, life still has to live.

If there is a destiny, we will definitely meet again in the future. If Uncle Li is still alone by then, then he will take Uncle Li into his home to take care of him.

Uncle Li, who was on the road, was sitting on a flat lawn, with horses grazing leisurely beside him.

He looked up at the clear blue sky with deep eyes.

20 years.

It was enough for him to hide in this remote mountain village and keep his ears to himself.

He took out a mahogany carving from his bosom. It seemed that the master had often rubbed the lines on the surface, and now he could not see the original appearance.

His eyes revealed a little nostalgia and nostalgia, as well as relief.

it's already over……

People in the village have been discussing Uncle Li's sudden departure for several days. Although there is not much contact and interaction, after all, they have been neighbors for more than ten or twenty years, and they still have some feelings.

Everyone speculated that they had escaped seeking revenge, went after her husband, etc., but everyone was inclined to find his family and reunite with his family.

Ye Junshu heard all kinds of strange conjectures, and secretly thought that the imagination of the villagers is quite rich.

Although he knew that Uncle Li might not come back again, Ye Junshu would still go to the thatched cottage to clean it when he had time, as a thought.

He turned his attention to the children and decided to go to the county seat in a few days. Thinking that the children had never been there, he planned to lobby them.

So in the past few days, he told the children a lot of interesting things in the county at night, people and things he knew, the fat chef in the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant, and the owner of the pork stall who often went to buy meat.

There are also a lot of strange things that people in the town sell, which are much more than what he bought, and there are many, many people and lively things there.

Although he didn't describe it very well, the things he said aroused the children's yearning, and they basically all clamored to go, except for Lu Geer.

Although it would be a bit inconvenient to bring so many children, I would be worried about the children, fearing that these cute and beautiful children would be targeted by traffickers, but Ye Junshu has been to the county so many times, and he hasn't met him for so long, so there is no such thing as a powerful snatch.

It may be because they are too poor here, basically even thieves are rarely seen.

The simple living environment makes these people's personalities very simple.

Although there may still be some top-notch people, such people are still a minority.

And there are basically no real bad guys, Ye Junshu thought, maybe these folks haven't seen what is called a real bad guy.

The county magistrate of Fengcheng County has been here for nearly twenty years. Although he is a bit greedy for petty gains, he is still a small troublemaker with mediocre abilities and a personality that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Ye Junshu was fortunate enough to read it At first glance, I don't have a good impression of him, probably because there is nothing to gain here, and he hasn't done anything extraordinary after all.

Generally speaking, the county town is still safe. As long as he can keep an eye on the children, Ye Junshu still wants to take them out for a walk, and also wants to take them to meet the husband's family. The sixth baby will be enlightened in two or three years, so let's brush up his existence first. The feeling is also good.

Besides, the children were clamoring to go to the county seat, and the only one who didn't make a clear statement was Brother Lu.

He looked at Ye Junshu's tangled expression, hesitating as if he wanted to say something, Ye Junshu looked at him encouragingly.

Finally, under Ye Junshu's expectant gaze, Brother Lu finally spoke, and he said, "Brother, is that Brother Pan you mentioned... pretty?"

Ye Junshu: "..."

He recalled Brother Pan's appearance, most of the aesthetics here are that the more feminine, the more beautiful the puppet, Brother Pan looks like an androgynous beautiful boy.

So, is it beautiful?

So Ye Junshu said, "It's pretty."

Lu Ge'er's expression became even more tangled, he bit his finger and looked embarrassed.

Ye Junshu thought to himself, Brother Lu doesn't think he has any ideas, does he?Just as he was about to explain, Brother Lu asked hesitantly: "Brother, does Brother Pan have any relatives or friends? Does he live in the county? Can you live somewhere else for a while?"

"I don't know about this elder brother. I only know that he and his father depend on each other and live in the county town. Oh, the contract negotiated this year is still in the county town. The contract will be formally concluded in the spring of next year." Therefore, he is not interested in the other party!

However, these words that Lu Geer asked are quite strange.

"Oh..." After hearing this, Brother Lu lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Ye Junshu asked: "Brother Lu, are you going to the county seat?"

Brother Lu shook his head for a moment and said he couldn't go, and then added: "Brother Qin is not allowed to go either."

Brother Qin pouted at the side, but he was a good and obedient boy, so he didn't make trouble.

Ye Junshu: "..." The temptation failed.

So in the end when he went to the county seat, he was still alone, and the twins were crying and wanting to go.

However, Ye Junshu considered that the weather is so hot today, and the children are prone to heatstroke due to prolonged exposure to the sun, so he agreed to take the older and younger children to play in the county after the weather cools down. .
