These two people were none other than Li Chengfeng, who recognized them at a glance without even needing to see their faces from a distance.
He rushed out two steps, rushed to the visitor, knelt down with a grunt, and choked with sobs: "Mother!"
It was Li Chengfeng's mother, Mrs. Xie, and her personal maid Lu Zhu who came.
Xie looked at Li Chengfeng with a smile, and quickly stepped forward to help him up: "My son is a cultivator now, so he must not kneel down casually."
Li Chengfeng held back tears and said, "Even if the child becomes an immortal in the future, he will still be my mother's child!"
This sentence made Xie's heart tremble, and her eye circles immediately turned red. She held back tears and said with a smile, "Okay, my son is right."
Luzhu on the side was holding a bamboo basket in her hand. Only then did she come up to Yingying and salute: "I have seen the young master."
Li Chengfeng looked at Lu Zhu with a smile and said with a smile: "Sister Lu Zhu is getting more and more beautiful, is there anyone you like?"
Lu Zhu suddenly glanced at Li Chengfeng resentfully, snorted lowly, and retreated behind Mr. Xie, saying no more.
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not dare to meet Lu Zhu's eyes. Fortunately, Su Yuehan stepped forward obediently, bowed to Mrs. Xie, and said, "This slave has met the mistress and Sister Lu Zhu."
Ms. Xie also quickly helped Su Yuehan up. How could she dare to treat Su Yuehan as her servant now
Even if her true identity is not known, based on the fact that she is practicing with Li Chengfeng and will be a female monk in the future, her status far exceeds that of the Xie family and their original masters.
Mrs. Xie held Su Yuehan's hand and looked her up and down, making Su Yuehan's cheeks turn red. She praised her repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy!"
Li Chengfeng on the side snickered secretly: Good boy? Mother, compared to her, you are just a child!
Su Yuehan was not embarrassed, she just lowered her head slightly, with a smile on her cheeks and dizziness at the corners of her eyes.
Before Mr. Xie could say anything else, another person rushed over to him. He threw himself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. The sound was loud and banging. This person shouted excitedly: "Xiaobao has seen the mistress!"
Xie's eyes were burning, and she quickly helped Zhao Xiaobao up. She said, "Good boy, don't you hate your mistress?"
Zhao Xiaobao shed tears and choked up: "Xiaobao's life was given by the mistress. She will accept it if she wants to be beaten or scolded. I just beg the mistress not to drive Xiaobao away! Xiaobao grew up in the Li family. If she leaves, , Xiaobao has no relatives or friends from now on, and the world is so big that there is no place to go!"
Mrs. Xie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay. It was the mistress who made a mistake before. You are a good child, and they are all good children!"
Zhao Xiaobao was about to cry and talk when he was suddenly kicked in the back. Without thinking, he knew it was Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng laughed and scolded: "My mother is here once in a while, so don't ruin the scenery by crying! She loves to cry more than women!"
Zhao Xiaobao blushed, covered his butt and stood up and stepped aside. Xie glared at Li Chengfeng and cursed in a low voice: "You are a cultivator after all, why do you still beat and scold him casually?"
Li Chengfeng did not refute, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, mother taught me a lesson! But, why did mother come suddenly today?"
Xie and Luzhu looked at each other, and there was an imperceptible sadness in both of their eyes. Xie forced a smile and said: "My son is practicing in the mountains. I'm afraid he has forgotten that it was New Year's Eve a few days ago. !”
Li Chengfeng was shocked: "It's already the New Year? What happened a few days ago?"
Xie smiled bitterly and said: "Seven days ago, today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year!"
Li Chengfeng's heart sank. He immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Mr. Xie, and choked with sobs: "My child is unfilial! He didn't fulfill his filial piety in front of his parents on New Year's Eve!"
Mrs. Xie supported Li Chengfeng and pulled him up with force. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Li Chengfeng with a smile and said, "My son is a person with great potential. How can he stay with his father like a little daughter all day long?" In front of my mother? Wouldn’t that be too promising?”
Li Chengfeng wiped his tears, changed the topic with a forced smile, and introduced Ouyang Nan and others to Ms. Xie who were looking at them with a smile: "Mom, these are my senior brothers in the Lingshan Sect."
After Li Chengfeng introduced Mr. Xie one by one, Ouyang Nan and others all bowed to Mr. Xie with the etiquette of the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Mr. Xie returned the gifts generously and dignifiedly, and his demeanor made Ouyang Nan and others secretly praise: Xiyue Li Although the family is in ruins, after all, it was once the number one sect in the world, and the spirit of the spirit is still there!
After Mrs. Xie saw everyone, she smiled and said, "I took the liberty of going up the mountain today just to bring some delicious food for my son and a few monks."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "What delicious food did Mom bring?"
Mrs. Xie glanced at Lu Zhu, who said with a clear voice and a smile: "I brought dumplings and Yuanxiao."
Li Chengfeng smiled reluctantly and said, "Are you planning to spend New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival together?"
Lu Zhu smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant. The mistress was afraid of you... She was afraid that you would be busy practicing and forget to eat dumplings and yuanxiao, so she took her slaves to make dumplings and yuanxiao, and then brought them to the young master and the monks. Have a taste.”
Li Chengfeng smiled and said to Ouyang Nan and others: "Senior brothers and sisters, how about a favor?"
Ouyang Nan laughed loudly and said: "Okay, old man... I haven't eaten dumplings on New Year's Eve in several years, and Yuanxiao on Lantern Festival Night!"
He finally said what I said without swearing.
Mrs. Xie didn't take it seriously and followed Li Chengfeng and the others into the house where they were staying. She followed Tianjun to the kitchen. She quickly lit a fire skillfully and put the frozen dumplings and Yuanxiao into the kitchen. It was cooked in water and a bowl was served to each person.
Everyone shared fifteen dumplings, six glutinous rice balls, and two bowls each, and the aroma filled the room for a while.
Ouyang Nan first picked up the bowl and ate one dumpling. While eating, he nodded and praised: "Well, chicken and shepherd's purse stuffing, good, delicious!"
Everyone nodded after eating, but He Zhu burst into tears after taking a bite, and he burst into tears after a while.
Ouyang Nan slapped He Zhu and feigned anger: "Hey, silly guy, why are you crying for this big festival?"
He Zhu wiped his tears and cried: "I, I... I haven't eaten New Year's Eve dumplings in seventeen years! I, I miss my mother and the dumplings she made!"
This sentence made Su You, Ouyang Nan, Tian Jun and others in the field stiffen their expressions. They all looked sad. Han Tianxing was hiding and wiping tears quietly at the side.
Ouyang Nan forced a smile and said: "As a cultivator, it is inevitable for a young man to leave home and return home!"
Su You said in a low voice: "Silly man, you still have your mother to miss... I, my mother, passed away the year before last, and I... can't even go back. When I die, I couldn't even go back to see her..."
Su You's hands were trembling slightly, and the bowl he held in his hands seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds.
He Zhu couldn't help crying at this time: "My mother is dying too, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive for a few months!"
Everyone was silent for a while, some were dazed with red eyes, and some were crying secretly.
Although practitioners are high up, looking down on all living beings and looking at all classes in the world, many of them come from the lowest level of the people. They have family and family ties that they cannot let go of. However, in their long practice career, they gradually He watched his beloved relatives die one by one, leaving them alone in the world.
Some lucky ones end up living as widowers and lonely great practitioners. They jump out of reincarnation and transcend life and death. All the love, hatred and resentment in the world can no longer move them. They have no hatred or love, no joy or anger. No smiles, no tears.
However, in Li Chengfeng's opinion, is this really a kind of luck
Li Chengfeng held the bowl of steaming dumplings and whispered emotionally: "I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my loved ones even more during the holidays. When I know my relatives from afar and climb high, I plant dogwood trees everywhere and there is one less person."
