Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 345 Kowtow

  Many people in the capital thought that Li Xin came back to his hometown this time to show off. After all, a child from a poor family, a young prince, and a high-ranking person, it would be a pity not to return to his hometown to show off.

  Including the Emperor Taikang, all thought so, otherwise he would not have specially sent five hundred feathers to Li Xin to show off.

  Wealth and honor do not return home, such as walking in brocade clothes at night, this is human nature.

   But Li Xin really didn't come back to pretend.

   At least he didn’t come back to pretend.

   The most important reason for this is because he is no longer the Li Xin, or simply the original Li Xin.

   If it was the original Li Xin, with his current achievements, it is estimated that he would return to Yongzhou to settle the old affairs of the year as soon as possible. Anyone who scolded him as a wild seed would be hung up and beaten with a whip.

   A few uncles, hanging directly by the mother's grave.

  It's a little more violent, and it's possible to copy the grandfather's home.

   However, today's Li Xin is not so boring.

   He simply wanted to avoid the storm in the capital, he simply wanted to build a grave for his mother, and he simply wanted to come to the southwest to do something.

   Today's Grand Marquis Li didn't even take his grandfathers and uncles who had never let his mother into his ancestral home in his heart. He didn't plan to contact them, nor did he plan to come to settle old accounts.

   He really just came back to repair the grave.

At the foot of Qishan Mountain, there is a simple market. Although it is simple, it is a place where several nearby villages can buy things. When Li Xin lived on Qishan Mountain, all the things in this market would not be sold to their mother and son. Yes, these mountain people are willing to sell things to them only after their uncle has made a trip.

   For this reason, Li Xin in his early years often came here to make trouble.

  Li Xin held Zhong Xiao's hand and walked on the market, pointing to a certain place from time to time, telling the little girl some old things from that year.

   The two of them walked through the market slowly, and no one dared to identify Li Xin out loud.

When he left Qishan, Li Xin was a poor boy in patches. Today, Li Xin is wearing a fur coat, and the clothes on and off are enough for ordinary people for a year or even several years. Naturally, these people will not think that Li Xin is the original one. the wild species.

   It wasn't until Li Xin walked to the foot of the mountain that he heard a timid voice.

   "Believe... Brother Xin?"

   This is the voice of a teenager.

   Li Xin looked back and saw that a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old was carrying a basket of mountain goods in one hand. He should have come to the market to sell things. He looked at Li Xin with some trepidation, for fear that he had mistaken the wrong person.

   Dusty memories flooded into my mind.

   This boy's surname is Lin, the son of Orion at the foot of Qishan Mountain. He is two years younger than Li Xin. He should be ten... sixteen years old this year.

   His name is Lin Hu.

In the early years, Li Xin and his mother lived in the mountains, and they lived a very hard life. Especially when Li Xin was young, the mother and son often could not see meat and fish all year round. It was the hunter surnamed Lin, who occasionally sent some things to Li Xin. If you believe in going home, you won't have many things, but it's also considered a heart.

   Later, when Li Xin grew up and was able to run all over the mountains, he went to the mountains to catch some game. At that time, Lin Hu was just behind Li Xin's buttocks, and the letter was called by the letter.

  The life of the mother and son gradually improved a little bit.

   But it still doesn't work.

  Because the people at the foot of the mountain did not recognize them, the things that Li Xin hit could not be sold. He could only sell some money through his uncle or the Lin family.

   All in all, in the memory of another Li Xin, there is only a good family like the Lin family in the entire Qishan Mountain.

  Lin Hu saw that Li Xin didn't answer him, thinking that he had made a mistake, so he quickly lowered his head and prepared to leave.

   Li Xin smiled at him.

   "Tiger son."

  Lin Hu was stunned for a while, then jumped up directly, his eyes were slightly red: "Brother Xin, it's really you, those people said you can't come back..."

   Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I went to the capital to find relatives, not to die, why can't I come back?"

  Lin Hu asked, "Brother Xin, have you found your father?"

  Li Xin shook his head.

"he died."

Lin Hu believed it to be true and comforted: "Brother Xin, you don't have to be sad, anyway, I haven't had him for so many years, so we came here too, let's go, my father hunted a deer yesterday, I told him not to sell it, go to my house to eat venison !"

   Li Xin smiled and said, "After I go back to Qishan, I haven't had time to go home. When I get home, I'll take a look and put a grave for A-Niang, and I'll go to your house to find you."

  Lin Hu made an "eh", then glanced at Zhong Xiaoxiao who was beside Li Xin, wanted to ask but didn't ask, and ran away with the mountain goods in his hand.

   He ate better than Li Xin since he was a child. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, Li Xin could not beat him, but this man had no bad intentions, and he always called Li Xin his brother.

   After Lin Hu walked away, the big men standing behind Li Xin silently put down their hands on the hilt of the knife.

   These are Yulin Guards who protect Li Xin at all times. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Those in the capital who want Li Xin to die may not be here.

   shook his head, Li Xin set foot on the road up the mountain.

   There are several villages at the foot of Qishan Mountain, but very few people live on the mountain. In the past, Li Xin’s family lived in the mountain, and even Lin Hunter lived at the foot of the mountain.

   Therefore, there is no road to the mountain.

   There used to be a path that Li Xin "bladed" himself, but he didn't come back for more than a year, and the path disappeared.

   Several plainclothes Yulin Wei walked sensible in front of Li Xin, pulled out the horizontal knife in his waist, and opened the way for Li Xin.

   When it was almost noon, Li Xin finally saw the thatched cottage he remembered.

  This thatched hut was built in a vacant lot halfway up the mountainside. It was not big, not even a fence. It was even more primitive than the charcoal seller's hut.

   It was the early spring season, some weeds had grown on the adobe walls that had not been lived in for more than a year, and even a mushroom rose out of the wooden door. Li Xin couldn't help laughing.

   He pointed to the thatched hut and said to Zhong Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Look, girl, this is where my brother grew up."

  Zhong Xiaoxiao held Li Xin's hand tightly, looked left and right for a while, and said, "It's good, it's not cold here."

  Li Xin took her in his arms and grinned: "It's not good in summer. There are so many mosquitoes here that they can bite people to death."

  Mosquitoes in the mountains can kill people. My mother is a weak woman. Every summer because of mosquitoes, she suffers a lot, and she often cannot sleep overnight.

  Li Xin hugged the little girl and walked to the back of the thatched cottage, about forty or fifty paces away, there was an inconspicuous little mound.

   There is no tombstone in front of the mound, and the mound is overgrown with weeds.

  Li Xin put Zhong Xiaoxiao down, first cleaned up some weeds on the mound, then he tidied up his clothes, knelt down, and respectfully kowtowed to the small mound.

   "Mother, come back to see you..."

   This mother, Li Xin shouted naturally, and blurted out naturally, as if he had been shouting for more than ten years.

   He bowed his head and kowtowed: "My son is doing well now, he can take care of himself, you are underground, rest assured..."

  Zhong Xiaoxiao also knelt down like Li Xin and kowtowed to this small mound.

   After kowtowing, she raised her head and said crisply.

   "Mother, Xiaoxiao also came to see you..."
