I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 299
Song Mu walked into this familiar city very calmly, perhaps because it was still early in the morning, the streets in the city were sparsely populated at the moment, sporadic shops started to open, and people pushing dung trucks were already walking on the road.

Song Mu didn't hide anything, just had a solemn face, holding the box containing the remains of his parents in both hands, and headed home.

Walking through the familiar streets and alleys, the door of the house is already in sight.

At this moment, the gate of the Song family's old house has been opened, and Song Liangda is sitting in front of the gate, looking frequently at the entrance of the alley.

On August [-]th, the news that his nephew Song Mu passed the Juren examination, and that he was the Jiangnan Xidao Jieyuan, reached Jizhou Mansion. Song Liangda lived in a daze for a few days, thinking that the glory of the world was nothing more than that.

And not long after, a letter sent by Song Mu to Xiao Li, who returned to Jizhou Prefecture, was also delivered to Song Liangda.

In the letter, Song Mu only stated two things. One is that Song Mu will settle the matter of the Song family in Hongzhou, and the ancestral hall will return to the Song family in Shiyang.The second is that Song Muyanming now has news of his parents, so he came back late this time to find the remains of his parents, and asked his second uncle's family to wait in his hometown of Shiyang County.

After reading the above news, Song Liangda burst into tears immediately, took his wife and daughter, and returned to Shiyang County by boat together with Jie Yuan Plaque.

In the past few days, Song Liangda has had trouble sleeping and eating every day, and always wakes up unconsciously at night, listening to the movement outside, whether Song Mu is back.

And every morning, Song Liangda would stand in front of the door and look outside, hoping to see Song Mu's figure.

On this day, Song Liangda had just stood at the door for a while, and said hello to several neighbors in the neighborhood, but he looked towards the entrance of the alley with a feeling in his heart.

The entrance of the alley was still extremely calm. After staring at it for a while, Song Liangda sighed, feeling that it was another day of waiting, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure appearing at the entrance of the alley.

That white robe, tall body.

Song Liangda looked intently, and his whole body stopped suddenly. At this moment, he only felt goosebumps all over his body.

Mrs. Zhu, who was about to call Song Liangda to have breakfast, just poked his head out from the kitchen, but suddenly saw Song Liangda who was standing in front of the door hula-la and ran out, and then Song Liangda's voice sounded in the alley.

"Jing Zhao, you're back!"

Song Mu had just walked into this alley, and before he could shout, he saw a figure running towards him quickly in front of him, and the familiar face was full of excitement at the moment.

"Second uncle!"

Song Mu also immediately took a few steps forward. Song Liangda had already rushed up, but his gaze was on the wooden box in Song Mu's hand.

As if he had expected something, his expression froze at this moment, and the circles of his eyes turned red.

"Jing Zhao, this..."

Song Liangda spoke softly, as if confirming something, Song Mu nodded silently, and said in a deep voice.

"Uncle, here are my parents."

Hearing these words, Song Liangda almost fainted, and Tao Fengming who was beside him quickly stepped forward to help him, but the next moment he heard Song Liangda wailing loudly.

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

Song Liangda's voice was very loud. At this moment, the neighbors around all poked their heads out one after another, and they saw Song Liangda half-kneeling on top of a box, and the person carrying the box also had a sad expression at the moment.

"Ah, it's Song Mu, the Song family kid is back!"

"Bah, bah, it's our Jie Yuan who's back!"

A neighbor's sister-in-law yelled loudly, and the others immediately stirred up and rushed out regardless. Some held chewed willow branches in their hands and spit bubbles in their mouths, and some carried their rice bowls and dangled all the way.

They all rushed forward, but found that Song Liangda was crying even more at this moment, and shouted the word "big brother" loudly.

Uncle Lin Bo, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly, and the expression on his face also changed suddenly. He looked at Song Mu and the others in front of him, and said in a daze.

"This...could it be Brother Song..."

The words were astonishing. At this moment, when other people heard the news, they all stopped involuntarily. They all looked at the box that Song Liangda was holding, and Song Mu's surging expression. The joy on their faces at this moment, It quickly turned into a bit heavy.

Song Liangda was still wailing loudly, tears streaming down his face, as if he wanted to vent all the suffering he had suffered during the days when his brother Song Liangtong left.

He was originally a young child in his family. Although his family was in trouble, he was still loved by his parents and elder brothers.

But when his most proud elder brother died in a foreign country, and even the bones could not be found, all this changed.

His parents passed away, and the burden of the family was suddenly placed on him, but he was whipped by this vicious world, and he almost had nowhere to go. After two years, Song Liangda's countless hairs were whitened.

At this moment, facing his brother's bones, he seemed to be finally able to be the child he used to be, pouring out the pain in his heart.

Song Mu had already burst into tears, and Mrs. Zhu had also come out, holding Song Liangda and crying loudly. Seeing this scene, Song Mingwei also ran forward, clutching Song Mu's robe, sobbing and crying.

The family seems to finally see the light at this moment.

The neighbors around had already stepped forward to support them, comforted them softly, and led them to Song's house.

At this moment, they felt the same about it, and they felt that Song Mu was an extraordinary young man. This young man not only earned such fame and made his second uncle proud, but also was able to accomplish such great things.

For a while, the scene in the alley attracted many people to watch, and the news of Song Mu's return to his hometown quickly spread throughout Shiyang City as if he had grown wings.

Shiyang City has only produced fifteen Jinshi so far, but among them there are only one or two Jinshi from the Song family who have won the top ranks in the imperial examinations.

But from the news of the township examination, Shiyang County has gained another honor.

There is a Xie Yuan in Shiyang County!
This is a great honor, a province, a team, the most intelligent people come from their own county.

The people shouted loudly, this grand event was the last time Kong Siqi became a Jinshi.

All of a sudden, the whole city was crowded with people, and they all headed towards the alley where the Song family was located.

At this moment in the Song family compound, Song Liangda was finally relieved temporarily under the consolation of Song Mu, Uncle Lin Bo, and several elderly neighbors around him, but he just held the box Song Mu brought and refused to let go.

Song Mu was still afraid that Song Liangda would be extremely sad, so he secretly sent a stream of literary power into his body.

This situation was full of sorrow and joy, and the neighbors standing in the yard at the moment didn't know what to say, they just looked at each other, and then focused their eyes on Song Mu or Song Liangda.

After a while, Song Liangda seemed to have finally come to his senses. At this moment, he stood up with his things in his hands, and said to Song Mu hurriedly.

"Jing Zhao, hurry up, worship the ancestors, let's go in and worship the ancestors."

After speaking, Song Liangda went to the main house, and Song Mu quickly followed, but at this moment he took out something.

Song Mu first carefully placed the thing in the middle of the incense table.

Song Liangda looked up, but was stunned again, while Song Mu had already said slowly.

"Uncle, this is our ancestor. Now, the Song Clan's Ancestral Hall has returned to us. I was offended, so I brought my ancestor back."

On the incense table is the memorial tablet of the earliest ancestor of the Song family in 300 years.

300 years ago, Song Youfu brought the Song family to take root here.

At this moment, Song Liangda looked at the tablet in front of him, his throat choked up, but he immediately pulled Song Mu to his knees, and said in a hissing voice.

"The No. 16 sons of the Song family, Song Liangtong and Song Liangda, and the seventeenth grandson Song Mu bow down to their ancestors."
