Chapter 365 Brother Huan is back
"Cough cough cough cough..."
As soon as Pei Shizong saw the little actions of his second son's wife and Gu, he knew what they were planning, so he stopped at the door and did not go in. Instead, he sat down on the big rock at the door.
Pei Changzong and Pei Yi wiped the corners of their mouths and walked out.
"Second brother, did Yan'er see it?"
Pei Changzong hunched over and told his elder brother what happened in the quarry during the day. He looked at his elder brother with a sly look and said:
"Brother, you have to find a way to save Pei Yan. If this goes on, he will die."
"I save him? How can I save him?" Pei Shizong said weakly, "Maybe I will die before him!"
The second brother glanced at Pei Yi, and Pei Yi turned back into the house and took out a bag of herbs.
"Uncle, I picked it up on the roadside when I came back today. I took a look at it at home and it turned out to be medicine for treating colds and coughs. Uncle, how could you pick up herbs in this wilderness?"
When Pei Shizong heard this and looked at the medicine in Pei Yi's hand, his eyes suddenly became wet.
It's Pei Heng.
He didn't forget himself.
The second brother hurried forward and said, "Big brother, Heng'er still has feelings for you. You might as well write a letter back and beg him to take you back home to live in your old age. Big brother, it's really too hard here. I... I really can't bear it anymore..."
As he spoke, he covered his face and sobbed.
The eldest brother was soft-hearted, and as long as he begged, he would definitely agree. By then, relying on the eldest brother, their second branch would be able to escape from the sea of suffering and regain a new life.
"let me see."
Pei Shizong also burst into tears.
Pei Laoer gave his son a look, and Pei Yi took out half a steamed bun from his arms reluctantly. Just as he was about to break it in half, Pei Laoer snatched it away and stuffed it into Pei Shizong's hand.
"Brother, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I don't have much left, just these few pancakes, I'll give them all to you."
Pei Shizong took the medicine for a few days and gradually recovered.
After thinking it over carefully, he wrote a letter and asked the people at the quarry to send it out for him.
Hearing that Pei Shizong had sent a letter to the capital, the young Wen family warmed up to him again. Even the second eldest family would occasionally give him a few cakes to improve their favor.
Now that I have hope in life, any hardship seems insignificant and bearable.
Spring slipped away without a trace.
The Dragon Boat Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
The weather in early summer is just the right temperature, which is the best time of the year in Shengjing.
On this day, the Dali delegation finally arrived in Shengjing.
Su Li dressed up and went out of the city gate with her whole family early in the morning to greet them in person.
Today, my son is coming back.
After not seeing her son for so long, Su Li couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing him again.
Pei Xi combed her hair into a beautiful bun and begged Pei Heng to take her on a big horse and run several miles out of the city to wait for her.
Pei Le was already ten months old and could babble a few words. Su Li had been teaching him to call her "brother" every day for a month.
At this moment, Pei Le was nestled in Su Li's arms, his chubby little hand pointing to the place where the yellow sand was rising outside the city, and he shouted vaguely:
"Giggle! Giggle!"
Su Li wiped his saliva and said with a smile:
"Yes, brother is back! Lele has only seen brother once, how can he recognize him? Brother must have grown a lot taller. If he stays out for a while longer, I'm afraid mom won't be able to recognize him anymore."
Pei Heng came back on horseback, and from a distance Pei Xi was shouting:
"Mother, here I come! Brother is here!"
The Dali Kingdom's delegation was of very high standard. Flags fluttering could be seen from afar, and yellow sand rolled where horses and carriages passed by, making a huge noise.
Mingmin originally wanted to come in person because she missed her aunt and couldn't bear to leave Pei Huan.
However, the political situation in Dali was not stable yet. As the ruler of a country, she did not dare to leave without permission. She had to reluctantly see him off for dozens of miles. Finally, she had no choice but to return to the palace.
Pei Huan was riding on his horse, and Shengjing City was already in sight from afar.
In addition to the officials from the Great Qi Dynasty who came to greet them, one could vaguely see a carriage beside the city gate, a woman holding a child and looking forward to it, a tall horse next to it, and an extremely mighty man holding a little girl.
The image of the family of four was imprinted in his eyes, making them feel a little hot.
"It's Madam and the Duke!"
Helan Yue, Qin Chuan and Captain Qian around them could no longer contain their excitement and began waving their hands while riding on their horses.
The other side also started waving.
"go!"
Before Pei Huan could react, Helan Yue had already slapped his horse's butt hard. The horse let out a neigh and galloped towards the city gate at full speed.
"mother!"
Pei Huan dismounted and saluted Su Li, imitating Huan Ge'er's tone and behavior.
In Huan Ge'er's emotions, the status of this mother is higher than that of his father. He should salute his mother first, that's right!
But, when my mother shouted this out loud, I felt really awkward and weird!
Sure enough, Su Li smiled happily after hearing this. She came up and hugged Huan Ge'er and said:
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
After looking around, his eyes turned red.
"A lot taller and darker! But, he's stronger and more energetic. Good! Good!"
Pei Heng laughed at the side.
"Good boy, you still only have your mother in your eyes! Come here and let your father take a look. Have you improved?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he used all his strength to punch Pei Huan in the face.
Seeing Pei Heng alive and well, with all his limbs intact, Pei Huan was incredibly excited. But he managed to act well, not showing any emotion. He just didn't expect his father to punch him the first time they met.
He subconsciously turned sideways and easily resolved the attack.
Pei Heng was also stunned, then burst into laughter:
"Good boy, not bad! You've become much more agile after going out. You are worthy of being your father's good son!"
As he spoke, he gently placed a palm on Pei Huan's shoulder.
Pei Huan was on the verge of tears, and quickly lowered his eyes and bowed to hide his redness.
"I've met my father!"
Pei Heng smiled and patted his shoulder.
"elder brother!"
Pei Xi screamed happily and jumped up from the ground. Pei Huan was so scared that he quickly opened his arms and hugged her.
Pei Xi hung on Pei Huan, hugged Pei Huan's face and kissed him, shouting:
"Brother, you're finally back. I missed you so much!"
Seeing Pei Xi jumping around in high spirits, Pei Huan could no longer control himself and tears started to fall.
"Brother, why are you crying?" Pei Xi frowned and pouted.
Su Li was also panicked and asked repeatedly:
"What happened?"
Pei Huan quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, "The wind and sand blinded me."
Pei Xi laughed heartily, hugged Pei Huan's neck and said, "Brother, you lied. You obviously missed Pei Xi and Mother too much, and of course Father! Brother, Mother once said that this is called crying tears of joy! Is that right?"
The sun is shining brightly in May, and the scattered rays of light shine on Pei Xi's tender face, like a flower bud about to bloom!
In the sunshine, Su Li's smile was as beautiful as a flower, Pei Heng stood firm as a pine tree, and a little child babbled happily at him, "Hahahahahaha..."
At this moment, Pei Huan finally understood.
So this is what home feels like.
It turns out that Brother Huan lived such a happy life.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if something in his heart was melting, and said:
"Sister Xi is right!"
