Chapter 93 Going Home (3)
"You are..." Chu Xunyu was puzzled. Looking at the black shadow under the willow tree, he did not feel dangerous, but was confused because he had a feeling that was very familiar.
A purple light appeared in his right eye. After seeing the man behind the tree clearly, he was shocked and shouted: "Father!"
The man walked out of the shadow under the tree, came close to him under the moonlight, and looked at Chu Xunyu calmly, without saying anything, just staring at him with deep eyes, just keeping watching...
Chu Xunyu's tears slowly oozed out from the purple light. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Child... is unfilial..."
"It's good to come back." The father showed tenderness for the first time. He hadn't seen him for several years. Even if the cultivator jumped out of the scope of time, it was still inevitable. Chu Xunyu felt that his father had grown much older, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes slowly climbed up. Is this all because of himself?
The father nodded and showed a relieved smile: "Siyan said, you are back, so you are waiting for you with your mother at home. Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Chu Xunyu raised his sleeves and wiped away the tears silently. The light in his right eye dimmed and he silently followed his father's back.
Looking at my father's back, I recalled that time, I was so familiar that I had been following since I was a child. Although I was very strict with myself and made me afraid, I am still the same now? Every move I make is still the same as before. I lowered my head and followed me, and I felt all kinds of feelings in my heart.
I went in through the mailbox gate, but the courtyard was quiet. I thought that all the mailboxes who came to patrol the night were temporarily transferred away by my father's excuse. No one spoke. In the dark night, I could only hear the sound of walking on the pebbles in the garden and the screams of some insects, as if I had returned to my childhood.
Back in the house where he used to live, and pushed open the door and saw his mother and sister waiting anxiously at the table for news, Chu Xunyu couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart. He was really unfilial, and his family had been worried for so many years.
"Yi'er, you're back." The mother came close immediately excitedly, and she burst into tears, rubbing Chu Xunyu's face, and sobbing: "I've grown up..."
Chu Xunyu leaned his sword against the table, knelt down immediately, and choked up: "The child is unfilial..."
The mother quickly helped him up, pulled him to the table, and looked at his face with her sister.
Suddenly, when I looked up, my father bent down and was searching for something in the cabinet. I couldn't help but feel a little strange. My father was not tall. After years, under the candlelight, his back seemed even more vicissitudes. He searched in the cabinet and worked hard to the extreme. After a while, he took out a paper bag, put it down on the ground beside him, and continued to search.
After a while, my father straightened up, with a little relief in his eyes, he came to the table, opened the paper bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "I remember all these things you like to eat."
Chu Xunyu looked down and saw that what was in the paper bag was some snacks he liked to eat when he was a child. Suddenly, his nose became sore and he had the urge to cry. His father's generous big hand slapped his shoulder and pretended to angrily: "Why are you crying, a dignified man."
He held back his breath, swallowed the tears in his heart, and then nodded silently: "Father is in love."
"Yeah..." My father sat down, held up the teacup in his hand, and after a while, a sentence came out: "Have you lived well over the years?"
"Okay... OK..." I picked up the crispy candy on the table, put it in my mouth, chewed it for a long time, but I couldn't swallow it.
My sister handed a cup of tea and asked, "What's going on with my brother and sister?"
"Huh?" Chu Xunyu was shocked and quickly talked about the past few years. He hoped that his father could give him some guidance, because in his mind, although his father was strict, he had always been a very wise person. He admired the most in his life. He did not even need to add the word "one". Even the strong man in the polar regions could not be replaced.
In the heat of the tea, my father listened quietly to the past few years, and said nothing. After Chu Xunyu finished speaking, he said in confusion: "Is your sixth uncle related to this matter? I don't think it's possible."
"I don't think it's possible, but I still have to ask him who went with him when he helped Zhang Yuchu treat his injuries."
"Yeah." The father nodded, "This is something to ask clearly. This is what you want. Your sixth uncle is here, so it's not too late. I'll ask him and find out clearly." After that, he got up and was about to go out.
"Wait." Seeing his father's figure going out, Chu Xunyu hurriedly called him, "I'll go with you. If Uncle Liu is really a bad person, it will definitely be unfavorable to his father. I'll go with you and ask clearly."
"No," the father smiled faintly, "You should not show up now, so you should stay here to accompany your mother and sister."
"No!" Chu Xunyu shook his head firmly, "I can't let my father take risks alone."
"Haha." My father's confident expression reappeared again, "I won't just submit so easily, don't worry."
After saying that, he left alone and headed to the head of the family's house. Chu Xun Yuzi sighed, sat down silently, and talked about the past with his family.
After a stick of incense, my father came back, but walked into the room with a little strange expression.
"How is it?" Chu Xunyu asked quickly, "What did he say to Uncle Six?"
"He said he went with Old Kimber back then."
"What? Is it him?" Chu Xunyu was shocked. No wonder his father's expression was so incredible. This was indeed an amazing answer. Old Jin Bo knew a little about himself, but he didn't dare to say how clear he was, because no one knew that the old man was from the Yaowang Mansion. His real name was, and he forgot, and he just called him that.
The Yaowang Mansion has a long history and they also have their own library. Lao Jinbo is the janitor of the library. For many years, he has been silently cleaning the dust in it. Chu Xunyu remembers that when he was very young, he often went to the library to read books with his fellow students. Lao Jinbo was always happy to receive them, just like a magic trick, always taking out a lot of fruits for the children to eat, and often holding himself in the yard to play. The winter sun is warm, and brewing a pot of tea, he is always so warm around him.
However, one thing Chu Xunyu knew was that this person's origin must be extraordinary, and the reason was very simple. He had been in the library for many years. He had a surprisingly experienced seniority. In front of most people, he could call him a senior, at least in Siyi's eyes. In my memory, except for the head of the family who could call him a senior, everyone else called him the senior the same.
Especially when Chu Xunyu was a child, he asked his father about the origin of the old Jinbo, and even his father couldn't tell the truth. His father said that when he was young, he was also carried by the old Jinbo and wandered around the yard. It is conceivable what kind of qualifications this person is. Old Jinbo is in charge of the library and is very leisurely all day long. He often carries a pot of old wine, makes some fruits and vegetables in summer, and sits on the balcony of the top floor of the library with a basin of charcoal fire in winter, drinking in front of the moonlight, and seems to enjoy such a wonderful life.
Basically, every day, I have to inspect the room of the library in the morning and evening, sweep the dust and repair old books, and live like this. The happiest thing every day is to make fun of the children in the family in the courtyard. Chu Xunyu dares to bet that no child dares to say that he has never been hugged by Old Jin Bo or eaten his food.
For such a person, he would say that he would go to Longhu Mountain to get something, which made people unbelievable. In his memory, he didn't even leave the door. Chu Xunyu asked half-believingly: "Father, you're not wrong? How could it be that old Kimber? Is it possible?"
The father shook his head: "Actually, it is really possible to say that Old Kimber really knows what news, because his information is very old, maybe he really knows something. You can go to the Library to ask."
"I asked so directly, can he tell me?"
"I think he will."
"oh?"
“There are two reasons.”
"I hope to hear it carefully." Chu Xunyu has always admired his father's judgment in major events.
"It's very simple. First, my Medicine King Mansion has a long history. There are countless alchemy recipes, techniques, and classics stored in the library. It can be said that it is the top priority. However, only Old Jinbo has always been guarding him, which shows that he is indeed a master. Second, last time you went home secretly and sneaked in to read books, but you didn't see it. Did Old Jinbo ignore it? It can be seen that he still takes good care of you."
"What?" Chu Xunyu was shocked, "Do you know when I went back to the library last time?" Last time, he took the rubbings of the Hongdao Gate mural and went home to translate. He thought that he had no idea and was walking secretly, but he didn't expect that his family would actually know it?
"You underestimate us too much. Don't think that we have improved a lot of cultivation, so we don't know." My father shook his head helplessly, looked at him, and then said seriously, "There are many talented people in the world, don't underestimate others. Of course, don't worry, only a few of us related people will know the news about your return."
"Oh." Chu Xunyu remembered after his father said this. No wonder when he entered the library last time, he always felt empty and something was missing. It turned out that night, he didn't see Old Jin Bo. It seemed that this person had deliberately hid and let him enter the door.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave immediately and rush back to the library home to ask for a clear understanding."
"I'm leaving so soon?" When my mother heard this, she seemed a little reluctant.
"Go." The father nodded in praise, "A man has a lot of burdens. In the future, you will wash away the grievances and go home with dignity."
"Okay." Chu Xunyu suddenly remembered something and said, "Father, there is another thing, I hope you can help me."
"Why do you want to help the father and son? If you have anything to do, tell me."
"I mentioned the matter about Muyuan. I'm rushing home now, but I'm asking my father to take care of him more in Jinling, so that Muyuan can't encounter unexpected problems."
"Okay, don't worry, it takes less than half an hour to ride an ordinary horse to Jinling. I will immediately compile a letter and go to Tianjie Temple in a secret letter to give to the abbot Huitan."
"Thank you, my mother, I will take care of you too. Five days later, my sister will get married. I will see you when I come back."
After Chu Xunyu said goodbye to his family, he immediately wanted to leave. At this time, his father stopped him and said with a smile: "You just said that your current name is Chu Xunyu? Yes, it's a good time."
Hearing this, Chu Xunyu smiled slightly, then went out quietly, got up directly from the air, rushed back to his library, and flew to the Yaowang Mansion, which had always been mysterious and did not deal with outsiders, the real residence...
