V17.chapter 55 (1/2)
After 37 years of traveling abroad, Confucius finally returned to his native land of Lu!
”Teacher, there are still two days to go before we can reach Qufu que Li and go home!” Ziyu looked at Confucius with a smile.
”Are there two days left?” Confucius drank the water passed by Zilu, and there was a gentle flash in his eyes.
”Yes, the day before yesterday, I flew back and told the news to my younger martial sister and younger martial brother. They were so happy!” Zi Yu immediately said with a smile.
”Is it?” There was a tenderness in Confucius' eyes.
”Yes, the teacher went to the market to buy a lot of cloth, and made new clothes all night. She was ready to wear them to the teacher when she went back. Her younger brother Kong Li also told me secretly that she had bought some rouge and water powder when she went to the market. The younger martial brother said that she had not used these things for decades!” Zi Yu said with a smile.
Confucius's face showed a gentle smile, looking at the long road in front of him, as if to see Qi guanchi dressing up in the mirror. Confucius could feel Qi guanchi's joy at this moment.
”Teacher, Kong Li also said that under the big tree at the head of the village, there is a bench. She often goes to sit there, sometimes for an afternoon. One day, Kong Li asked the teacher's wife. She said that as long as the teacher went back, she would see the teacher back at the first time under the big tree at the head of the village! ” Ziyu said.
There was an urgency in Confucius' voice: ”get on the bus, go back, go back!”
Teacher, I just got off the carriage to have a rest. I've just got off the carriage. I haven't had time to eat. Do you want to go on?
For a large number of students, it doesn't matter, because most of the students here have already practiced and achieved accomplishments, while Confucius has not.
”Teacher, I'm going to hunt and roast some meat for you.” Yan Hui said with a smile.
”No, there's still dry food in the carriage. Let's go home and eat the barbecue.” Some of Confucius's voice can't wait.
Seeing that the teacher didn't want to stay for a moment, all the students showed a happy smile and were happy for the teacher.
”Go
Zi Yu called, holding the carriage.
”Go home!” A group of students laughed and cried.
After getting on the carriage, Confucius found that he was a little embarrassed just now, and let a group of students see a joke.
”Little ones!” Confucius looked at a group of students outside with a wry smile.
It took only two days to get to Qufu que Li. In Confucius' urgent mood, it took only one day to get outside the Qufu que Li.
”Where is it?” In the carriage, Confucius was just woken up by a stone and opened the curtain to look out.
”Teacher, we have arrived at the village head of Qufu que Li, but it's foggy today, so we can go home soon!” Ziyu said.
”Village head?” Confucius was stunned.
”Stop!” Confucius called.
The carriage stopped in an instant.
”Be careful, teacher. It's foggy today! It's very cold! ” Ziyu immediately helped Confucius out of the carriage.
When he arrived at the head of the village, Confucius was not ready to take a carriage.
There is a big tree at the head of the village. Qi guanchi often sits here in a daze. He stays for an afternoon and wants to see himself the first time when he comes back?
What happened to the fog?
Confucius eagerly walked towards the tree, as if in the fog, Qi guanchi's pretty face was smiling and waiting for himself. It seems to be able to hear Qi Guan Chi running to himself excitedly and calling out his husband sweetly.
Confucius walked through the fog and walked eagerly to the big tree.
Can walk close, but empty.
Ziyu opened his mouth, and all the students were shocked. Didn't the teacher's mother wait here?
Didn't you come?
”It's foggy and chilly today. Maybe Shiniang...!” Zi Yu comforted Confucius.
Confucius looked at the bench under the big tree, but showed a warm smile. The bench has been polished to incomparable smoothness. It is obvious that some people often sit on the bench every day.
”Teacher, the teacher's mother may have cooked rice at home, after all...!” Ziyu said.
Confucius nodded and touched the smooth bench. With the help of Ziyu and others, he walked towards his home in the fog.
Through these familiar roads, Confucius was eager to return home and walked faster and faster.
However, not far from Confucius' house, suddenly, bursts of crying came from Confucius' house.
”The cry of Kong Li's younger brother?” Ziyu's face suddenly changed.
Crying? How could there be crying in the place where Confucius lived?
After Confucius, all the students suddenly burst into a commotion.
Zi Lu and Yan Hui rushed forward anxiously.
Confucius also suddenly felt something in his heart and rushed to his home. In a moment, his face became very flustered.
Run, Confucius ran faster and faster!
Confucius has been sixty-seven years old. In this era, the human body is shriveled and old. How can he run fast?
This fast, the foot was a stone trip, suddenly fell to the ground.
”Teacher!” Ziyu held Confucius at a critical juncture, so that Confucius was not so embarrassed.However, Confucius, who helped him up, pushed Ziyu over and continued to run towards his home. He stumbled through the fog and saw his home.
Yan Hui and Zilu, who had just rushed back, stood at the door. For a moment, they were in a daze and looked at Confucius, who had stumbled back.
”Teacher!” Zilu and Yan Hui immediately welcomed Confucius with red eyes.
But Confucius stood at the door of his house, but suddenly stopped.
as like as two peas as like as two peas, Confucius built houses in the vicinity of the house, but Confucius's old house had not changed at all. Even the front fence was exactly the same as it was decades ago. Only then was Qi Guan Chi who could do everything carefully and Confucius did the same thing.
as like as two peas?
No, there are white strips hanging around Confucius' house at the moment. Some of the neighbors came to look sad.
In the house, there is a big ”Dien” word, a coffin in the hall.
A 40-50-year-old man, with a faint appearance of the Kong carp, knelt at the entrance of the Lingtang. He was already dressed in sackcloth and was weeping as a filial son.
”Teacher, teacher's wife, teacher's wife is gone!” Yan Hui cried to Confucius with tears.
”How, how could it be? I came back the day before yesterday, and the teacher's mother was still fine. She bought cloth to make clothes and rouge and water powder. When I came back the day before yesterday, she was OK! Four, eight, nine, how do you take care of your family Ziyu's hair suddenly exploded and stood up.
When the students heard the news, they were even more shocked. Only the students could understand how urgent the teacher was to come back these days. How many times did they lose their manners along the way, just because they wanted to see the teacher's wife!
Looking at the old man in front of him, all the students suddenly showed anxiety and worry.
”Mr. Kong is back!” Suddenly, a Zhuang neighbor exclaimed.
”Is Mr. Kong back? He, is he Mr. Kong? ”
”Mrs. Kong has been waiting for so many years, but she can't wait for the last two days. It's really...!”
”What a nice lady Kong is!”

Confucius couldn't hear the voices of his neighbors. After he had settled down at first, he walked towards the house step by step without any expression.
