In the afternoon, the sun was shining white, and the water vapor evaporated from Fengxi was like a dream. Zeng's mother, Zhou, sat on the ferry and put on a tent and looked towards Shitian. The white walls and black tiles were continuous, and the dozens of ancient camphor trees in the east gate were the most eye-catching. They were the symbol of Shitian. On the left of the ancient camphor camphor camphor trees were the two halls of the Zeng family. Of course, they could not be seen at this time, but they knew in their hearts that the two halls were quietly under the shade of the ancient camphor camphor trees.

"Mom, don't be sad. When my son grows up, he always has to start his own family. How can he live a long life with his brother and sister-in-law? Don't see that we are leaving in a miserable way now. We will definitely be back in the future. If we are trapped in this small village and remote county, our son will not be able to make a fortune."

Zeng Yu held his mother's hand and comforted him quietly. It is necessary to look forward to a bright future.

The mother Zhou Zhanyan smiled and nodded, "My son must be promising. The scholar Fang, who was the guarantor, praised you for writing good words."

Niu Niu's face was red and she said with a crisp voice: "Brother has a lot of skills, and I know everything."

Zeng Yu smiled and looked at the hills on the other side, saying, "Mom, this time we left Shitian, there will always be one year and a half that we can't come back. Go to the Lion Head Grave to bow to grandfather and the others, and say it."

Mother Zhou nodded repeatedly: "Mom is about to remind you that you want to set up your own business, of course you have to pay tribute to your ancestors. I also ask your ancestors to bless my son with peace and well-being."

The old shipwreck who was riding the boat was deaf for many years and could not hear what Zeng Yu's family of three were saying. He just smiled silly. When he got off the boat, he helped pull the black donkey ashore and bowed to Zeng Yu to say goodbye.

Zeng’s cemetery is halfway up the mountainside of Shitou Mountain. This is the tomb that Zengyu’s grandfather chose during his lifetime. It faces the vastness, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is hiding wind and gathering energy. It is the best auspicious cave in a radius of dozens of miles. However, it is obviously far from the auspicious cave mentioned in the Feng Shui secrets of "Qingnang Aoyu" and "The Burial Method of Burial". In fact, the Feng Shui masters are not unable to find a good tomb for themselves, but there are masters in the world. You cannot bury wherever you see it. There is only the emperor. Moreover, even the emperor only searches for auspicious caves for hundreds of miles around the capital, and will not bury them in other provinces.

Zeng Yu's grandfather, uncle, father and legitimate mother Wu were buried here. The Lion Head Mountain was silent and the grave was green. Zeng Yu and his mother Zhou, and the younger sister Niu Niu kowtowed to the four graves in sequence. Zhou pointed to the open space next to Wu and said to Zeng Yu: "Yu'er, remember, you will bury your mother here a hundred years later."

Zeng Yu said: "Mom, you are only in your forties and are still in good health. Now why do you say this?"

Zhou said solemnly: "The tree is thousands of feet tall and the leaves fall back to its roots. Of course, my mother will come back to her place in a hundred years and will accompany your father and elder sister, fish, you promise your mother." After that, she stared at her son and asked her son to agree.

Zeng Yu knew his mother's thoughts. His mother spent most of her life in Ishida, being cautious and uncontested. When she was old, she had to leave this place where she had lived for decades. Of course, she would feel the ulterior motives and uneasiness of her future. Her mother was not afraid of hardships in life, but she was afraid that she would not be buried in Ishida after death, so she took this opportunity to remind him-

Zeng Yu said solemnly: "Don't worry, mom, I will remember it, my son."

My mother, Zhou, suddenly smiled, slid her hair, looked at the mountains on three sides, and saw black clouds gathering on the top of the mountain and gradually expanding into the sky. She hurriedly said, "Son, let's get on the road quickly, it's a rainy day."

The mother and son followed him down the mountain. Suddenly, they heard the donkeys roaring at the foot of the mountain and shouted several times. Zeng Yu glared and said, "Is it because someone steals the donkey?" When he went up the mountain, he tied the black donkey to a crooked tree at the foot of the mountain, putting his luggage and bookcases under the tree, and only carried two compass and swords.

Before Zeng Yu could go down the mountain by catching his sword, someone shouted at the foot of the mountain: "Young Master, Young Master, Second Grandma--"

Niu Niu opened her eyes wide and said, "It's Sixi, not a donkey thief."

Zeng’s mother Zhou said, “Why is Sixi coming? Could it be that your elder brother has something urgent?”

Little Xi Tong Sixi ran up the mountain panting, naked, bony ribs, wearing indigo blue trousers, holding a bag on his right arm, and a pair of straw sandals hanging under his neck. He ran to the Zeng mother and son, knelt down, and cried, "Please ask the second grandma, young master, Miss Niu Niu to accept Sixi, Sixi wants to go with you, Sixi should not stay here, wuwuwu, Sixi wants to follow Master Li, wuwuwu-"

Sixi started crying as she spoke, her face covered in snot, tears and sweat.

"Get up and talk, get up and talk."

Zeng Yu helped the little Xi Tong up, but saw several wounds on his elbow and back of his hand soaked white. These scars were broken on Boshan Road the night before yesterday. They were already scabbed. Zeng Yu was shocked and said, "Sixi, you swam here!"

Sixi saw the eldest young master sending Mr. Li and his son to the ferry, so he went back to the room and hurriedly packed up a few of his clothes and wrapped them into a small bag. He slipped out of the back door, walked around the north gate and ran all the way to the ferry. He saw the eldest young master and Uncle Li back from a distance. He hurriedly flashed to a big locust tree on the side of the road. After the eldest young master and Uncle Li walked over, he ran to the ferry again. When he arrived at the ferry, he saw that Mr. Li and his family had already reached the shore and were heading towards Shitou Mountain.

Sixi shouted "Young Master, Young Master". It was far away, and the young master could not hear it. Sixi shouted "Dear Bo, Deaf Bo," and the deaf Bo, the ship, could not hear it. The ferry was tied to the opposite shore under the weeping willow. Sixi knew that the deaf Bo, liked to doze on the boat, and it was difficult to call the boat across the river. Seeing that the young master's family had bypassed the Shitou Rock, he was so anxious that he could not catch up. Relying on his good water nature and Fengxi had not risen, he took off his clothes and put them in his bag together. The straw sandals on his feet were hanging around his neck. He swam across Fengxi with one hand and chased him all the way to Shitou Mountain.

Zeng's mother, Zhou, was embarrassed and looked at her son Zeng Yu and said, "Yu'er, what do you think you should do?"

Seeing Zeng Yu hesitating, Sixi quickly knelt down and begged, "Young Master, Sixi will not go back if she beat her to death. She must follow the young master."

Zeng Yu said: "Okay, just follow us, put on your clothes quickly, and be shirtless like you look like."

"Thank you, my second grandma - and Miss Niu Niu."

Sixi's tears were not dry, and he happily found a large flat stone to sit down and put on straw sandals. He was in a hurry, and the straw sandals were hung around his neck and had no time to wear them.

Niu Niu said happily: "It's great, it's great. Sixi also goes with us, and we have company on the way."

Zeng’s mother, Zhou, was a little worried and said to Zeng Yu: “It’s fine if your elder brother is there, but your sister-in-law is willing to give up, just because she is afraid that the officials will sue you for abducting the population. She can do such a thing.”

Sixi hurriedly said: "It's not abducting the population, it's not abducting the population, it's Sixi who is willing to follow Master Li."

Zeng Yu laughed and said to his mother: "It's okay, we are also the head of Sixi's family. Isn't Sixi going back to the city and going with me? How can I get involved in abducting people? Sixi, let's go together."

Sixi agreed happily, followed Zeng Yu's family to the foot of the mountain, rushing hard to the back of the bookcase, and carefully serving Zeng's mother Zhou with a black donkey.

Zeng Yu felt much more relaxed like this. In the green cloth bag on his back were two big compass, with an umbrella on his shoulder on his left and a sword on his right shoulder. The little girl Niu Niu jumped and jumped aside. When she saw a little frog jumping out of the crack of the stone, she chased her. She picked the little flowers on the roadside and put them on the little girl's bun. She smiled and asked her mother: "Amn, is Niu Niu beautiful?"

Zeng's mother Zhou replied with a smile: "Beautiful, my Niu Niu is a little beauty."

As they gradually got farther away from Ishida, Zeng Yu's family became cheerful.

There is a dragon boat drum that is "dongdongdongdongdong" and it is "dongdongdongdongdongdong". Today is April 26th, and nine days will be the Dragon Boat Festival. Zeng's mother Zhou called Zeng Yu to her side and handed a wallet to Zeng Yu's hand. There was a heavy clanging sound, which was the sound of copper coins.

Zeng’s mother Zhou said: “These are some broken silver and copper coins that my mother has saved over the years. It’s about a lifetime of more than two taels of silver. You can take it and rent a house first when you go to the city, so you can have a place to stay.”

Zeng Yu took his mother's purse and packed the more than three taels of broken silver that his brother Zeng Quan gave him. However, he handed a small wooden box to his mother and said, "Mom, look, this is what my uncle left to me. I only discovered last night that my uncle mentioned it when he was dying. I didn't care. It seems that my uncle had already thought that we, mother and son, would have such a day."

Zeng’s mother Zhou, who was riding on the back of a donkey, took the small wooden box and saw the gold inside. She was very surprised. She was also confident and safer. She was not panicked when she had money on her body. She handed the wooden box back to Zeng Yu and said, “Your uncle is devoted to you. When he was a child, he loved you very much. Unfortunately, you can’t do more filial piety for him. Please put this box away.”

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Mom, please keep it in mind, and marry a good wife to your son in the future."

The mother Zhou smiled and carefully put the wooden box in her eyes. She thought that her son was twenty years old this year and had not married yet. She should be tight. Her son is well-behaved and knowledgeable. Of course, she should marry a good daughter who is well-educated and well-off family.

"Boom" exploded, as if the sky had collapsed. The sky, which was originally shining brightly, darkened in the blink of an eye. The black clouds on all sides were originally stacked and closed, and were shaken by the thunder. The black clouds pulled away like a curtain from the sky above all directions, covering the sky and the sun. The wind suddenly rose, stirring up the dark clouds. In the depths of the dark clouds, lightning and thunder were roaring—

Sixi shouted: "Young Master, it's going to rain heavily, what should I do?"

Zeng Yu said: "Cover the bookcase with oil cloth, don't wet the book. There is a post pavilion four or five miles in front. Get there as soon as possible to shelter from the rain. Mom, sit firmly, there is an umbrella, you can hold it on."

Sixi trotted with a bookcase in her back and led a black donkey.

Zeng Yu squatted down and carried Niu Niu on his back and strided his way, wanting to arrive at the inn before the heavy rain fell, but the heavy rain was already impatient. He heard the "rustling" sound in the mountains and fields. The heavy rain poured from south to north. In just a few steps, Zeng Yu was wet with his face.
