Chapter 18 Return to the Village

Wu Fan returned to the house, sat cross-legged on the bed, and then entered into practice again.

During this year, Wu Fan was practicing besides going into the mountains to collect herbs. However, every time he practiced, he would wait until night to enter the space and come out in the early morning. Although it was a waste of time, there was nothing he could do about it. , he is afraid that others will know his secret. Even if it takes one night for the outside world, four or five days will pass through the space. Counting the time, he still has a lot of time to practice, but for some reason, since Huo Fenjue entered the third level, The speed of cultivation has slowed down. After practicing for a year, he has just reached the 40th percentile. Even though it is only the fourth level, Wu Fan is now sure that even the top masters are no longer his opponents.

During this year, the girl named Meng Caidi often came to see Wu Fan. Wu Fan was not a child, so of course he knew what Meng Caidi was thinking. However, Wu Fan didn't have that idea. He spent all his thoughts on cultivation. Before, he had met Miss Cai Die, but in the later stage, Wu Fan simply hid and disappeared.

Wu Hao came to see him half a year ago and told Wu Fan that he finally found a nice mansion. The two brothers went to see it once and were quite satisfied with it, so they bought it for more than four hundred taels of silver. Wu Fan I thought it should be renovated, so I gave Wu Hao another two hundred taels and asked him to go and organize it. Yesterday, Wu Hao came again and told Wu Fan that the decoration was almost done. He was going to pick up his parents tomorrow. Wu Fan agreed immediately.

Early the next morning, Wu Fan and Wu Hao had already driven their carriage out of Qingshan City.

"Brother, I haven't been back for ten years. I wonder how my parents are doing now." Wu Fan looked at his eldest brother and said with a look of longing on his face.

"I went back two years ago. My parents are very good, but they have become much older. My sister has also grown up and become a big girl. She has been asking me about you. It can be seen that my sister is still following you. You are relatively close," Wu Hao replied with a smile.

When Wu Fan heard this, he also laughed. He also knew that his sister had been very close to him since childhood. It had been ten years and he missed his sister very much.

Ten days later, at Wu Fan's house in Wujia Village, the former middle-aged woman had become much older. Her formerly black hair had now become white and black, but her clothes were much more respectable than before. She was now I’m cooking. Today’s meal is extraordinarily rich. Over the years, my eldest brother has brought some silver every time he goes back. The living conditions at home are much better than before, including the fact that the family’s clothing is much better than that of other people in the village. They no longer look like As in the past, the clothes I wore were mended and then continued to be worn.

Next to the woman, there was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old standing tall and graceful. She jumped up and down from time to time and said something to the woman. After she finished speaking, she even laughed out loud. The girl was very beautiful and well-dressed. Wearing a white dress, she is as lively and cute as an elf. On her fair face, her long eyelashes are gently fanning like small black brushes, and her pair of big and bright eyes are like black gems. Shining and dazzling, a delicate little mouth reveals a bit of innocence and childishness. The corners of the mouth are slightly upward, like a small hook that can touch people's hearts.

"Mom, the eldest brother sent someone to send a message, saying that he and the second brother will be back today. I am so happy. I haven't seen the second brother in ten years. I almost forgot what he looks like." The girl said She was sitting there and jumping around, showing that she was really happy.

"I know, I know, you've said it so many times today, it's really annoying me," the woman said, glaring at the girl impatiently.

The girl stuck out her tongue and walked out of the house. At this time, there was an old man chopping wood in the yard outside the house. This old man was of course Wu Fan's father, but he was no longer as tall and strong as before. It has become curved with the passage of time. Father Wu is wearing a black gown. Although his hair is also white and black, it is very neatly taken care of. Even though he is working, the smile on his face has never disappeared. However, he knew that his two sons were coming back today, and he was happier than anyone else.

"Dad, please stop chopping wood and go out quickly to see if the eldest and second brothers are back." The girl came to urge Wu's father again, this time for the third time in an hour.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The big man couldn't resist the girl. I had no choice but to put down the ax in my hand and walk out.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the courtyard, and two people walked in immediately.

"Father, mother, little sister, we are back." When Wu Fan shouted these words, his voice actually had a vibrato. You can imagine how excited he was now.

Hearing the sound, Wu's father in the yard slowly turned around and looked over. The girl suddenly became quiet and looked at her two brothers without blinking. At this time, Wu's mother also ran out of the house. When he saw his two sons, his eyes instantly turned red.

Wu Fan looked at the familiar yard, then at his much older parents, and finally at his sister. His eyes slowly turned red.

"It's good to be back. My son has grown up so much and has become handsome." Mother Wu came over with tears streaming down her face, hugged Wu Fan and began to cry loudly.

Wu's father didn't say anything, he just walked over and patted Wu Fan's shoulder. But the moment Wu's father turned around, Wu Fan clearly saw him shed two lines of tears.

At this time, Wu Fan could no longer suppress his longing for his parents, and tears burst out of his eyes instantly. In this way, the mother and son hugged each other for a while before they separated.

"Xiaoyu, haven't you been thinking about your second brother all the time? Why haven't you come over yet?" Father Wu turned back to the girl and said.

Wu Fan's eyes were red, but he smiled at his sister in front of him, stretched out his hand, holding a box in his hand, and said: "Second brother bought you a gift."

"Are you my second brother? Why don't you look like before? Why is your skin so good and so white?" The girl walked over shyly.

Wu Fan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and stuffed the wooden box into his sister's arms, saying, "Of course I am your second brother."

The girl opened the wooden box, looked at the butterfly hairpin inside, and laughed happily. Then she stepped forward, stretched out her hand to hug Wu Fan's arm, and looked at her second brother in front of her with her big eyes blinking, saying, "Thank you, second brother."

At this time, Wu Hao also came over, stretched out his hand to hand his sister a wooden box, and laughed at the same time: "And me, I also bought you a gift."

The girl laughed, her parents laughed, and finally the whole family laughed...

………………………………

Half a month later, the family came to Qingshan City. The sister looked at everything in the city with the same expression as when Wu Fan first came. The parents and the sister looked at their own mansion, and the smile on their faces never stopped. Wu Fan gave his parents another 500 taels of silver. After arranging everything, Wu Fan was ready to go into the mountains again.
