dream soul return

In the blink of an eye, 16 years have passed, and Fu Chen has already learned a lot, and he can't wait to return to Wen's family for revenge.But whenever he mentioned that he wanted to go back to Wen's house to visit relatives, Master would always stop him.The brothers said behind their backs that the master intends to pass on the position of the next head to him, so he was asked to cut off the fate, but Fu Chen knew that the master was actually afraid of him returning to the Wen family, and saw the clues of the year.

"Junior brother," the senior brother called out to him who was lying on the balcony, "I have a letter from you."

Fu Chen got up to take the letter from the elder brother, and found that it was sent from Wen's family in Yangcheng.Although he has never been back to the Wen's family these years, the Wen's family will send a letter every two months.At the beginning, it was written by Master Wen and Mrs. Wen, and when Wen Yu grew up, he became the main writer.

It's just that he clearly received a letter in the first ten days of this month, why is there another letter today?

Fu Chen took the letter in bewilderment, opened it and glanced at it, his expression changed drastically.

Eldest brother carefully observed his junior brother's face from the side, and immediately asked: "Junior brother, are you alright?"

Fu Chen forced a smile: "It's okay."

The elder brother looked at him with a smile that was uglier than crying, and the words came to his lips a little bit hard to say.But he still said: "Master told you to go."

Fu Chen received the letter and walked to the master's yard.

Even when he arrived at the master's courtyard, his complexion did not fully recover.It's just that the master didn't seem to see his ugly face, or in other words, he seemed to have expected his strangeness.

"I believe you read it?" the headmaster said unhurriedly.

"Yes."

The leader took out another letter from his sleeve.No need to look, Fu Chen knew it was from the Wen family.

Fu Chen suddenly said: "Master, you already knew?"

The master nodded.

Fu Chen said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" A teacher for one day, a father for life.Even though he knew that Master and Wen's couple had an old relationship, he had always been respectful and polite to each other, and had never been so rude.

The head didn't take his offence to heart: "I don't tell you, because I have my own considerations." He has also heard the gossip in the door, and he doesn't deny that he does have the idea of ​​making Fu Chen his next successor .When I brought Fu Chen up the mountain, it was just to see that he had some roots and it was not suitable for him to stay in Wen's house.But after going up the mountain, he discovered that his unexpected disciple was actually an unworldly genius.Not only talented, but also diligent.Out of selfishness, he didn't want Fu Chen to have too much involvement with the Wen family.

"That's the way it is. It's clearly stated in the letter. Pack up and go down the mountain."

Fu Chen saluted, turned around and left.

The senior brother who had been waiting at the gate of the master's courtyard was relieved when he saw Fu Chen coming out, and hurried to catch up with him: "Master didn't say anything?" His face was ugly.

Fu Chen lowered his head: "It's nothing. Brother, I'm going down the mountain soon."

"Going down the mountain?" The big brother asked in surprise, "What about next month's Dao Sect Grand Competition?" The head of the sect needs to prove his strength. Mouth.

Fu Chen said irritably, "Then I won't go." After saying that, he regretted it, and softened his tone, "Something happened to my family, so I have to go back."

The elder brother guessed something, shut his mouth and didn't speak again.

It was rainy in autumn, and the way back was full of cloudy and rainy weather.After the rain, the road was muddy.Whenever Fu Chen's trousers get muddy, he will think of that day 16 years ago.

If it wasn't for changing clothes by herself, and occasionally hearing the maid's gossip, I'm afraid I'd be kept in the dark for the rest of my life.

Fu Chen was used to being poor in the Taoist temple, so he ate and stayed in the rain along the way, stayed overnight at Xiaoxing, and returned to Wen's house.

Wen's family is not as good as it used to be, just from the appearance, it is a decadent air.The door knocker of the gate has rusted long ago, but it hasn't been replaced yet—Fu Chen still remembers the day he left, the door knocker was still shining brightly.Under the bright spring sun, it almost dazzled his eyes.

Fu Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.

It was the butler who came to open the door.

Over the past ten years, Fu Chen's appearance has changed slightly.The butler didn't dare to admit it, he stared at him for a while, and then hesitated, "Master?"

Fu Chen said: "I don't dare to be a monk, but a monk."

The butler looked at him and saw that he was still wearing Taoist robes, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Young master, please come in quickly, the young master has been waiting for you to come back."

Fu Chen didn't answer, and walked into the yard.

After entering Wen's house, he realized that even the servants in the courtyard were much less.He could only see three or two kittens along the way.He almost had to use all his strength to recall the prosperity of the Fu family in the past.

Along the way, at least I can see some familiar faces.

"Master Fu." It was A Liu, the maid he saw when he first came here.

The butler's face changed, and he reprimanded: "What's your name, Young Master Fu? Eldest Young Master!" He looked at Fu Chen's face while talking.

Fu Chen's expression didn't move at all.

After walking for a while, a voice full of surprises suddenly came from behind.

"Brother!" The clear and clear boy's voice sounded.Fu Chen turned around, and sure enough, he saw the grown-up Wen Yu standing behind him.

He hasn't changed much, his face has become thinner, and his eyes have become bigger and bigger.If he didn't know Wen Yu's real age, Fu Chen would almost think that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.At this moment, this still childish face was full of joy, as if he had obtained something he had dreamed of.

Fu Chen smiled: "Aliu."

Hearing this title that no one had called for a long time, Wen Yu had mixed feelings and almost shed tears.He rushed over to hug Fu Chen: "Brother..." Tears that hadn't shed for many years finally flowed down, "Brother, parents are gone..."

Fu Chen hugged him instead: "Why did the master and wife disappear?" The letter only mentioned how many years the master and wife had passed away, but did not say how they disappeared.

It seemed that Fu Chen cried even more because of the sad things being brought up: "They...they...father and mother went to the temple to offer incense, and they met bandits on the way..." There is no need to say anything about the rest.

This is already two years ago.

Two years ago, the Wen family and his wife died, but Wen Steward took Wen Yu to handle the funeral, but concealed Fu Chen.He originally wanted to inform Fu Chen, after all the Wen family also took care of him for a while.But before the letter was sent, he accidentally discovered the will among the relics left by the Wen family and his wife—leaving all of the Wen family property to Fu Chen.When the butler saw the will, his expression changed again and again, and finally he hid the will and burned the letter, making up his mind not to call Fu Chen back.

But the Wen family and his wife were determined not to let Wen Yu inherit the Wen family, and they never taught him.In addition, Wen Yu is still young and has no talent, so it is very difficult to go on the road of doing business.

In the past, there was the support of the housekeeper, although it was not easy, it was still acceptable.It's just that during this period of time, his body has been deteriorating day by day.He is sensitively aware that his time is approaching, but he is still worried about the young master.After thinking about it, only Fu Chen can use it.What's more, Fu Chen has been a monk for so many years, so he may not care about worldly fame and fortune.

"Okay," Fu Chen pushed Wen Yu away, "Don't cry, your face is crying."

Wen Yu smiled embarrassedly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his face: "Brother, are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat."

The butler had left long before their reunion.Wen Yu took Fu Chen to the kitchen to give orders, and waited for them to make noodles before sitting at the dinner table and eating together.

"Brother, are you tired on the mountain? I said several times that I wanted to go up the mountain to accompany my brother, but my parents didn't agree, saying that I was too tired and I couldn't bear it."

Fu Chen looked at Wen Yu, nodded and said, "It's quite tiring." He thought it was okay, after all, he was used to eating hard.It's just that Wen Yu was pampered and spoiled by the Wen family couple, so he may not be able to bear this kind of suffering.

Wen Yu pursed his lips: "Are you so tired? Is that brother coming back?" Although he is useless, there is still no problem in raising his brother.

Fu Chen smiled: "Aren't I back now?"

"I didn't mean that, I meant—"

Before he finished speaking, Fu Chen interrupted him, "I know. Eat quickly, don't eat cold."

This means rejection.

Wen Yu let out a disappointing "hmm" and lowered his head to eat the noodles.

He ate the noodles, but couldn't see Fu Chen's deep gaze.

The death of the Wen family couple made him no less sad than the housekeeper and Fu Chen.It's just that he was not saddened by the death of the couple, but felt sad and angry because the enemy was not sent away by himself.

"Brother," Wen Yu raised his head, "Your room has been tidied up, shall we go there in a while?"

Fu Chen said: "Okay."

The layout of the room was still the same as before he left, it seemed as if he had gone back in time.

Before entering the room, Fu Chen smelled the smell of medicine, but after entering the room, the smell of medicine disappeared without a trace.

"Are you taking medicine?" He looked at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu didn't expect to be smelled out by him, so he paused for a moment before saying: "I haven't slept well recently. It will be fine after a while." Actually, it's not a recent thing, since his parents passed away, he has been unable to sleep.It's just that he doesn't want his brother to worry.

Fu Chen nodded, and took out a bag of paper-wrapped things from his bag.When I opened it, it was a whole pack of incense.

"Brother, what is this?" Wen Yu wondered.

"This is Anshen Incense," he handed the packet of incense to Wen Yu, "It just so happens that you haven't been able to sleep recently."

Wen Yu didn't delve into why he brought Anshen Xiang home, and accepted the incense happily: "I will always use it, brother."

When the two of them were brothers and sisters, the housekeeper did not know when to appear: "Young Master, I have ordered Li Tailor to come over tomorrow and make some clothes for you."

Fu Chen refused: "No, it's better for monks to be diligent and thrifty."

The housekeeper said again: "Although you are a monk, you are still the young master of our Wen family. A few clothes are still indispensable."

Fu Chen thought about it and agreed.
