Eternal Sword

Chapter 451 Going Home
Jiange is out of the list, and the martial arts world is in turmoil again!
The comment from Jiange made Chen Tang even more famous!
In past rankings, even if Jiange was at the top of the list, its ranking, record, introduction, etc. had only been listed. Jiange had never written a separate comment.

Jiange has always been known for its objectivity and fairness, ranking in order without any personal emotions.

Moreover, each ranking has to be reviewed and discussed by all the masters in Jiange before being finalized.

The comments about Chen Tang were listed in the list of the most influential people, which showed the appreciation of Chen Tang by everyone in Jiange.

Chen Tang and A Li, who had already left Wuzhou, also heard about the Fengyun Ranking.

This matter has almost spread throughout the Nanxia world.

Whether it is in the streets or in restaurants and inns, as long as there are people, you will always hear people discussing him, and Chen Tang can't hide even if he wants to.

After all, he has lived two lives, so he doesn't care much about the false fame that people in the world are vying for.

After the two left Wuzhou, they headed towards Yuezhou Yiyintang.

Previously in Langya Pavilion, Chen Tang and Su Li from Yiyin Hall had agreed that they would go to Yiyin Hall to treat A Li when they had time in the future.

Shen Zhiyuan once went to Yiyintang to recuperate. It is unknown how serious his injuries are or whether he is still there.

Yuezhou, which is adjacent to Wuzhou, is also a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.

But the scenery is a little different.

After entering Yuezhou, Ali seemed to be worried about something, and occasionally when he passed by some place, he would look thoughtful.

Chen Tang asked a few questions, but Ali just shook his head and didn't answer.

On this day, when they came to a fork in the official road, Ali pulled the reins and stared at an old locust tree at the fork for a long time. It was so big that it took several people to hug it. Suddenly, he gestured to Chen Tang, indicating that he should take another road.

"What do you remember?"

Chen Tang vaguely guessed something and his eyes lit up.

In addition to wanting to cure Ali's illness, he also wanted to find Ali's original home.

After all, when Ali was very young, he was abducted by the Dongyi tribe and taken to the Hermit Island.

Ali nodded, then shook his head, seeming unsure.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Chen Tang and Ali walked towards the fork in the road.

The two walked for about a few dozen miles and saw a small village in the distance. There were dozens of households and curls of smoke drifting in the afterglow of the setting sun.

There was no change on Ali's face, but he was obviously getting nervous. He held the reins tightly with both hands and his speed was getting slower and slower.

Later, when the village was right in front of him, Ali stood dozens of feet outside the village and refused to move forward.

I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown.

What's more, I've been away from home for so many years.

Ali had no idea if his parents were safe, what his home looked like, whether it was still there, and how he would explain it if he went home and really saw his parents...

Chen Tang could understand this feeling.

Chen Tang came to Ah Li, patted her hand gently to comfort her, and asked softly, "Is this the place?"

Ali remained silent and did not make any move.

Chen Tang asked again: "Do you remember which household it was?"

Ali shook his head.

She was very young when she left home.

My childhood memories of my parents and my home seem to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and I can't remember them at all.

"fine."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "There are only a few households here. We can just search one by one and we will find it eventually."

Chen Tang rode on the horse, holding Ali's reins and leading her into the village.

The people in the village didn't seem surprised to see Chen Tang and A Li dressed like these, they just looked up and didn't look at them any more.

The two walked very slowly.

Every time before arriving at a household, Chen Tang would give Ali enough time to observe.

At this time, most people are cooking in the house.

In a dilapidated courtyard, a boy in his early teens was sitting on the ground, piling up stones, with snot hanging from his face. He giggled from time to time and seemed to have some mental problems.

Ali observed the courtyard and the house.

"The robbers are coming!" The young man looked up and saw Chen Tang and A Li. He was so scared that he burst into tears and said, "Mom, come and see, there are robbers!"

Then, a woman rushed out of the room, first glanced at Chen Tang and A Li, then bowed and said, "The child is immature, he has heard too many stories, and he said nonsense, please don't take it to heart, heroes."

"nothing."

Chen Tang smiled calmly.

The woman grabbed the young man from the ground and beat him hard several times, angry and annoyed.

As a result, the boy cried even harder, waving his arms and punching and kicking.

Although the boy was mentally handicapped, he was as tall as the woman, and the woman could not hold him down for a while.

At this moment, an old man came out of the house. He had a stubble on his beard and tanned skin. He looked simple and honest. He stepped forward and twisted the boy's hands, growling a few times: "You bastard, you are still being stupid, still being stupid!"

The young man seemed to be afraid of the man and dared not say a word, but just sobbed quietly.

The old man nodded and bowed towards Chen Tang and the other two and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, would you two heroes like to come in and have a drink of water?"

"No."

Chen Tang shook his head slightly.

His attention was attracted by the three people in the yard just now, and he didn't notice that when he saw the woman and the old man, Ali's expression changed obviously.

First there was excitement, then joy.

Then, she seemed to have thought of something, her face suddenly turned extremely pale, the ripples in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she returned to her original dead silence.

In this dead silence, there is even a hint of coldness.

Chen Tang was about to turn around to ask Ali, but Ali had already ridden his horse forward.

However, Ali passed by the houses in the village and did not stop.

"Why, isn't this right?"

Chen Tang asked.

Ali was silent for a moment and nodded.

"fine."

Chen Tang comforted him, "Just take your time to look for it."

After Chen Tang opened his ears, his hearing improved greatly and he could roughly hear the conversations of the families in the village in their houses.

It’s just that it’s so chaotic that if you don’t pay attention, you can’t hear anything.

Chen Tang noticed that Ali was acting a little strangely, and couldn't help but look back at the courtyard he had just been in, listening attentively.

"Old man, did you see that girl just now?"

"I saw it, what's wrong?"

"Do you think those eyebrows look similar?"

"Yes, they do look alike. Stop imagining things. How is that possible?"

"I know, I just said it casually."

Chen Tang frowned slightly when he heard this.

He was about to call Ali, but he heard people chatting in the neighbor's house next door.

"That kid from the Li family almost got into trouble again. Even though he's grown up, his mentality is still that of a three-year-old child."

"In my opinion, this is retribution. His eldest daughter was so smart when she was little, with big watery eyes, but after her wife gave birth to this boy, they decided to sell her off."

"There was nothing we could do about it. Life was hard back then and we couldn't afford to raise two kids."

"It's just an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, but how can it be short of a meal for the baby?"

"Don't meddle in other people's affairs."

The sound fades away.

Chen Tang was silent, looking at Ali's thin back, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Zhiwei found a home.

Ali, you may never find your home again.
