Ji Tang

Chapter 1065: Your father is mute.
Chapter 466 (The chapter number is wrong, it doesn’t matter!)

Ji's ancestral hall, since Ji's expedition, the third uncle had people move him here to live.If not for anything else, just to be offered incense by the ancestors as soon as possible every day. I hope that the ancestors have spirits in the sky and can bless Song'er for his safe return!

Everyone tried to dissuade him in vain, but in the end they forced the younger generation to obey.The old man is ninety years old and has lost all his teeth. He can only survive by eating some gruel every day.

As early as last year, the old man's mind was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, but no matter what the situation was, he would always wake up before ten minutes after sunrise and go to the ancestral hall to burn a stick of incense, rain or shine.

Daozhang Sun said that he had an obsession in his heart, otherwise he would have left long ago.But this obsession can't last long, and now it has reached the point of exhaustion and may leave at any time.

Everyone knew what the old man's obsession was, but they all kept silent, and even issued strict orders not to tell the ancestors any news about Song Geer.

No matter the news is good or bad, this will be the last straw for the old man. Once this straw disappears and is broken, the old man's obsession will be gone.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats, and the old man in Zhuangzi was furious. Who is it? Who dares to ride a horse on Zhuangzi at this time?
Mao Mao, Ji Run, Ji Ze, and Ji Hao, who was held in Mao Mao's arms, looked anxious. They stopped when they saw Zhuang Zi.

Jide soon arrived at the door of Zhuangzi. When he saw these four guys, the anger in his heart disappeared immediately.

"I've met Uncle De!"

Several people dismounted and saluted quickly. Ji Hao had learned how to do it well at a young age, and with his naturally silly little face, Ji De couldn't help but smile.

"Why did you come so fast? You didn't travel all night, did you?"

Ji De said somewhat reproachfully that in the past, they always felt that something was missing about Ji Song.Thinking about it afterwards, it turned out that Brother Song rarely showed his youthful naughtiness, and they seemed to be unable to help him even if they wanted to. This made the elders of the Ji family feel helpless and distressed.

I think it was Brother Song who brought them out of the difficult days of the Ji family.Nowadays, we don’t talk about having good clothes and good food, but at least we will be respected no matter where we go.

As for the lack of Ji Song's boy, when Ji Song's child was born, it was slowly transferred to several children, which made them always feel great comfort. No matter how much trouble a few people caused, they were strictly protected by them. of.Even the lessons are lifted high and dropped gently.

It can be said that for Ji Song's missing childhood, they made up for it with several children.Fortunately, a few of them were not spoiled, otherwise I don’t know if they would regret it!

Ji Run took a breath and replied: "It's okay, mother and grandma are right behind, asking us to go first!"

Jide thought for a moment and understood the old lady's good intentions.

"Let's go and see our ancestor! He's like this now. Just go and see for yourselves and you'll know!"

This was not the place to talk. He took a few people to the ancestral hall and happened to see a thin and insignificant old man offering incense.

"Ancestor!"

Ji Run felt sour in her heart and couldn't help but shed tears.

The ancestor's hair was so thin that it was almost invisible, and only his skeleton remained.I remember that no matter how much trouble I caused when I was young, the two ancestors would protect the calf infinitely, even if my mother and father wanted to beat him.

My mother always pushed me to study and practice martial arts. Although my grandma loved me, she didn't take care of me. Although my father was not very angry, he was very strict with his education.

Only the ancestor can only coax himself and scold his father on his behalf.It can be said that most of the laughter and laughter in my childhood are related to this old man and his deceased second uncle.

Seeing that the old man who loved him most in the past was now like this, he felt so blocked that he wanted to shout out.

"Since your father left, he often doesn't recognize people. He doesn't even recognize me as his son." Jide didn't know whether to cry or laugh. His biological father doesn't recognize his son. This is really a big deal. What a joke!

"He only wakes up for a while every day when he is burning incense, but he only remembers Brother Song and does not recognize anyone else. Sun Daozhang said that his body has been overdrawn to its final potential. If it were not for the last obsession to hold it up, now Maybe”

Jide was silent for a while when he said this, and then said with difficulty: "But it may only be a few days. You guys should spend more time with him. After all, you are the junior he loves the most."

Ji Run nodded numbly and walked towards the old man.

"My ancestors wish Song'er a safe return. That child is your best backer. You must protect him!"

"That child is thoughtful and doesn't like to show his thoughts. What a good child!"

"Just wish you peace and safety, don't ask for anything else."

Ji Run's eyes suddenly sore when she heard her ancestor's irrelevant words. She couldn't help shouting: "Grandpa Third Ancestor."

"Run'er is here to see you."

But the third uncle continued to talk to the tablet, as if he didn't hear it!
"What you can't hear, you haven't heard since a year ago."

Jide sighed and stepped forward to support the old man. The old man was like a soulless walking corpse, at the mercy of Jide!

"Song'er!"

Hearing that his ancestor was unconscious and still calling his father's name, Ji Run couldn't help but ran out and howled under a ginkgo tree!
Mao Mao and Ji Ze were also in tears, but as the eldest sisters, they still managed to comfort the crying little Haoer in their arms.

"If Hao'er doesn't cry, if Hao'er doesn't cry, sister will take you to eat delicious food."

Little Hao'er seemed to feel something. Although he was young and didn't understand anything, he cried when he saw his brothers crying.

Jide settled the old man, and when he went out, he saw the four elders crying. He felt comforted and helpless at the same time.

"Don't cry. Your grandfather would be so sad if he knew you were like this. If he was really filial, let him go happily. Be good, don't cry!"

Ji Run wiped the tears from her face, stepped forward to take it from her little brother who was crying non-stop, and said to her sister: "Sister, please be careful. Please spend more time with Grandpa during this time. I want to find a few things."

Mao Mao was stunned for a moment, but seeing his brother's firm face, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go to the ancestral home with my eldest brother!"

Ji Run pulled Ji Ze up and ran towards the ancestral home without saying a word.

"Grandpa De, my brother and the others."

Mao Mao was a little confused when he saw the two of them being so mysterious. "Okay, leave them alone. You will know when the time comes. As for you, how long have you not been back to Zhuangzi? Come on, grandpa will take you for a walk. Zhuangzi has changed a lot in these years."

Uncle De teased Xiao Haoer a few times, but the guy was still unwilling and stretched his head far away.

"This kid is still separated from grandpa?"

Then he said to the kitten: "Look, we have grown apart after not seeing each other for a long time. I remember that when this little guy was born, he was pregnant with me, several times. The taste, tsk tsk!"

"You are lying, Hao'er can't do that!"

Ji Hao is four years old this year. Although he doesn't understand a lot, his family often complains about his bed-wetting, so he has made a mental note of it.When I heard someone talking about him, I immediately stopped working.

"Yo!"

Seeing an angry look on his face, as if he would cry if he said anything again, it immediately made Jide laugh.

"Do you still know how to be shy?"

The little cat was also amused by Xiao Hao'er. This guy is a crybaby at home. He will cry for you at the slightest provocation. This immediately attracted my mother's feather duster, and she and her brother Ji Ze were beaten frequently!

"Grandpa, please stop teasing him. This family can't stand teasing. He's going to cry again soon, and he'll be upset to death."

Jide heard this and took a look, and sure enough, the little guy had already started to pout.Now he was so anxious that he took out a piece of candy from nowhere and stuffed it into the little guy's mouth without saying a word.

Not to mention, maybe I tasted the sweetness and immediately diverted my attention!

"This guy"

Uncle De breathed a sigh of relief and looked helpless.Run'er, Ze'er, and even the kitten were all very strong when they were young. Even if the wife chased them and beat them, they would be fine. Why did they give birth to a guy who loves to cry?
Ji De hugged little Hao'er who was obsessed with eating sweets, and introduced while walking: "Look at that lake!"

The kitten was stunned, and when he looked in the direction, he was shocked!
"Is this the small lake back then? No way, it's more than three times bigger!"

No wonder he was surprised, the changes were really huge.I remember that the lake here was not big when I came here last time. To say it is a lake is an exaggeration. At most, it is just a larger pool.But now at a glance, the original depressions are now all water.Ginkgo, willow and other trees are neatly planted on both sides of the lake.Although it is late autumn, at first glance, the green and yellow colors are pleasing to the eye, as if you are in a fairyland!
"Surprised?"

Jide smiled proudly and said: "Actually, it's unexpected. Our Zhuangzi is originally in a depression. There used to be a small river passing by. At first, the downstream was blocked for the convenience of water collection. But it was found that this would bring water to the villages downstream. It was inconvenient. So your father thought of a way, which is to build a dam here to store the water when there is a lot of water, and to drain the water here when the water is low. In this way, not only do we have enough water, but also the downstream There won’t be no water available due to the dry season!”

"Over the years, no less than three dams have been built, and more and more water is stored. Finally, everyone put it together and simply widened the two sides, gradually forming what it is now. Before we separate, we hope to leave a message at home. , everyone worked together to expand the small lake three times. And everyone planted saplings around it, hoping to find their own roots when they return home in the future."

"The tree tribe here has issued strict orders. Not only do they have special personnel to guard them to prevent damage, they also hang signs on each tree. I hope everyone can find the one they planted when they come back."

He paused here, perhaps feeling that the topic was a bit heavy, so he pointed to the small lake not far away and said, "I remember your dad used to fish there when he was a child. Although he often failed, he never gave up."

"The clan was very poor at that time. Sometimes we couldn't afford even one meal a day, and we were often helped by the old lady. Otherwise, I don't know how many clan members would have starved to death."

"Your father was still young at that time, and he didn't know where he learned some skills in growing medicinal materials, so he opened a medicinal field by the river. At that time, everyone thought that children were playing tricks, and there was a lot of gravel in the land. It’s impossible to grow food at all, so everyone just goes along with it.”

Ji De found it incredible when he thought about it now, and said with emotion: "But who would have known that the next year, when I saw it, my dear, there were all kinds of medicinal materials in the gravel field. Although they were all common medicinal materials, after they were prepared and dried, they turned out to be different. We raised a lot of money, which can solve everyone’s urgent needs.”

"After that, everyone helped your dad grow medicinal materials. It was then that everyone gradually realized that your dad was different."

"Difference? Grandpa, would you like to elaborate?"

The kitten looked curious. No one had ever told him these things.She just heard her grandma say that her family was very difficult when she was a child, but she didn't know why it was so difficult.

"Okay, since you want to hear it, let me tell you!"

Jide was also excited and said: "Your father didn't like to talk when he was a child. When he was alone, he would sit in front of the door and stare at the river in a daze. Sometimes he would sit there for half a day. Sometimes he even forgot to eat. Yes. Hahaha!"

Jide seemed to think of something funny and suddenly laughed.

Then he whispered mysteriously: "Let me tell you a secret. You can't tell others that grandpa said it."

The little cat felt like it was being clawed by a cat, and nodded repeatedly, promising not to tell anyone.

"Your father didn't speak until he was five years old. We thought he was mute before!"

"what?"

The kitten is stupid. Dad didn’t speak until he was five years old?How can it be?

"What? Don't believe it?"

The kitten shook his head repeatedly. How could his father be so smart and only speak at the age of five?Grandpa is lying!

"Actually, everyone in the older generation knows this, but everyone has a tacit agreement not to say anything, just because they are worried about hurting your father's heart! But now it seems that God has taken away some things from your father, but compensated him for more things. Since then, your father has been able to master both literature and martial arts in an instant, and it is only then that we old guys know that God has given us Ji’s Qilin’er!”

He said this with pride on his face, as if he had a share of credit for it!
At this time, Mao Mao's outlook on life was completely ruined. He had been told since he was a child that his father was the smartest man in the world, and nothing could trouble him.And it turned out that no one had lied to her. Dad had always been omnipotent in his heart and was the person he admired most.

But now someone tells me that your father was mute when he was a child?

"Okay, don't think too much!"

As if he saw the little kid's confusion, Ji De patted the kitten's head and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, when heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard on his mind and body, so he is willing to endure it. , gain what it cannot!"

"Perhaps what your father experienced when he was a child was God's tempering for him."

Ji De didn't say anything else. When he lowered his head and looked at it, he immediately felt dumbfounded.

It turned out that while they were talking, the little guy actually fell asleep. He was drooling and his little nose was opening and closing slightly. Jide felt that his heart was about to melt.
