Chapter 149 Arya is back
"Big brother, we seem to have arrived. Come out and take a look. Is that village in front your hometown?"
Chen Siyao's voice came from outside the car.
At this time, Song Jie had just finished refining a batch of pills and was meditating to restore his spiritual power.
When he was out, out of caution, Song Jie would meditate to restore his spiritual power after refining a batch of pills.
This will ensure that when an unexpected situation occurs, we can be in a better state to resolve the crisis.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Song Jie stuck his head out and looked forward.
I saw a green field in front of me, and many farmers were bending over, busy working in the fields.
Looking beyond the fields and further away, you can see rows of houses.
It was getting close to evening and wisps of white smoke were rising from many houses.
Looking at this somewhat familiar scene, Song Jie was sure that this was the original owner's hometown.
“Yes, this is my hometown.”
Song Jie smiled slightly.
Immediately, Song Jie walked out of the carriage, came to the front of the carriage, and took over the driving rights of the carriage from Jin Jiao.
The carriage slowly drove into the path between the fields, attracting the attention of farmers in the fields.
On ordinary days, there are very few outsiders in their small mountain village.
At this time, they saw a horse-drawn carriage slowly driving into their small mountain village, and many farmers stopped their work.
They stood up and looked at the man who was driving.
"This person seems familiar..."
"Really? He looks like the second child of the Song family."
"How is that possible? The second child of the Song family left the village many years ago. There has been no news about him in all these years."
"Yes, the second child of the Song family should be over 40 years old. Judging from the age of that person, he is not even 30 years old. He is definitely not the second child of the Song family."
"I heard that the second child of the Song family went to find an immortal to learn from him."
"I know about this. When the second child of the Song family left the village, I went to see him off. I don't know if he found the immortal..."
"Hearing what you said, that person might really be the second child of the Song family.
"Aren't all immortals immortal? If the second child of the Song family really found an immortal, he would learn some skills from him.
"He's in his forties but looks like he's in his twenties. It feels normal to me."
“I think that person is not the second child of the Song family, but he looks a little like the second child of the Song family.
"It's not that easy to find an immortal. If it were that easy, then each of us could find an immortal to teach us."
"That's right. Even if you find an immortal, he may not be willing to teach you magic."
"You all said that person was not the second child of the Song family. Then who do you think that person was?"
"do not know……"
"I don't know either..."
Song Jie sat in front of the carriage, driving it while listening to the conversations of farmers in the fields.
Song Jie didn't care about what the farmers were discussing.
The farmers were discussing the second child of the Song family and what that was related to him, Song Jie.
Of course, Song Jie knew that the second child of the old Song family that the farmers were talking about was actually the original owner.
From the original owner's memory, Song Jie knew that the original owner was the second child in the family.
He has an older brother named Song Yi.
The reason why the original owner abandoned his parents and went out to seek immortality was because he had an older brother at home to take care of his parents.
This allowed the original owner to pursue his dreams without any worries.
Song Jie drove the carriage along the road he remembered and came to a wooden house with a small yard.
Outside the yard of the wooden house, there was a fence and a simple wooden door, which served as the barrier of the house.
Song Jie jumped off the carriage and looked at the wooden house in front of him, comparing it with the house of the original owner's hometown in his memory.
After a moment, Song Jie nodded slightly.
It is here.
Immediately, Song Jie tied the carriage to a big tree on the side of the road, and then caught Chen Siyao who jumped off the carriage.
Taking Chen Siyao and Jin Jiao with him, Song Jie pushed open the wooden door in the middle of the fence.
"squeak~"
As the wooden door was pushed open by Song Jie, a harsh sound was heard.
The people in the house heard the noise outside, and soon someone came out to check what was going on.
The person who walked out of the wooden house was a middle-aged man who looked to be around fifty years old.
If you look closely, you can find that this middle-aged man looks somewhat similar to Song Jie.
"Second brother?"
The middle-aged man looked at Song Jie with some uncertainty.
"Brother, it's me."
Song Jie pulled the corner of his mouth to force a smile.
Although there were some differences in appearance from the original owner's memory, Song Jie still recognized him at a glance. This middle-aged man was the original owner's elder brother, Song Yi.
"It's really you, second brother!" Song Yi shouted towards the house excitedly, "Dad, second brother is back!"
"What? Arya is back?"
Along with an old voice coming from the house, a 70-year-old man with white hair and beard walked out of the house tremblingly, leaning on a cane.
The moment he saw Song Jie, the 70-year-old man immediately trembled his lips and said excitedly: "Erya, it's really you, my Erya is back.
"My Arya is finally back..."
The 70-year-old man muttered a few words, and his eyes unconsciously became red, and two lines of tears slid down his wrinkled cheeks.
When he saw this 70-year-old man, Song Jie suddenly thought of his parents. His nose suddenly felt sour and his eyes became red.
Song Jie hurriedly took two steps forward, supported the 70-year-old man's hands, and shouted, "Dad, it's me, I'm back."
This 70-year-old man was the original owner’s father, named Song Liangmin, and everyone in the village called him Old Song.
Song Liangmin raised his hand and stroked Song Jie's face, tears of joy streaming down his face.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back.
"My Arya is back..."
Although Song Jie looked like a young man in his twenties, Song Liangmin recognized him at a glance. This person was his Erya.
Hearing Song Liangmin muttering "Erya" over and over again, Song Jie's infected emotions faded a lot in an instant.
This "Erya" is the original owner's childhood nickname.
Because Song Liangmin's first child was a boy, he wanted a girl for his second child.
As a result, his second child was also a boy.
When the original owner was a child, she was quite delicate, and if she had two braids, she would look like a girl.
So Song Liangmin simply raised the original owner as a girl and gave her a nickname, "Erya".
These are the information Song Jie searched from the memory of the "original owner".
Immediately, she imitated the original owner's tone and said helplessly: "Dad, I'm already so old, please don't call me Erya." "It would be so bad if someone heard it."
The original owner often refuted Song Liangmin in this way before leaving home.
Whenever the original owner said such words, Song Liangmin's face would turn serious and he would say that no matter how old the original owner grew, in his eyes, she would always be Erya.
But this time, the conversation that Song Jie expected did not occur.
Song Liangmin stroked Song Jie's face and nodded, "Okay... okay... Dad won't call you Erya.
"Come on, come in, Dad will make you something delicious today."
As he said that, Song Liangmin was about to pull Song Jie into the house.
After entering the house, Song Liangmin asked Song Jie to sit on a chair and wait, and then he walked into the kitchen tremblingly, leaning on a crutch.
Song Yi winked at the middle-aged woman standing nearby.
The middle-aged woman immediately understood and hurried into the kitchen to help Song Liangmin cook.
Song Yi looked at Song Jie, smiled happily, and said, "That's your sister-in-law."
"It seems that my brother and sister-in-law are very loving." Song Jie smiled slightly.
Song Yi nodded.
"Your sister-in-law is really nice, hardworking, good at managing the household, and rarely loses her temper.
"It is my blessing to marry her."
At this point, Song Yi suddenly sighed and said, "After you left, my father always thought it was because he always called you Erya.
“You were unhappy, so you made an excuse that you wanted to find an immortal to learn from you.
"We all thought that you were just angry and would go out for a while and then come back.
"I didn't expect that I would be gone for more than 20 years."
When Song Jie heard Song Yi say this, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Where's our mother?"
"He fell ill last year and passed away..." Song Yi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then exhaled and opened his eyes.
He just looked at Song Jie calmly without blaming him for anything.
Seeing the guilty look in Song Jie's eyes, Song Yi sighed and continued, "Before our mother left, the last thing she asked was whether her Erya had returned..."
Although I never think that I am the same person as the original owner, I also don't think that I will be bound by the original owner's family relationships.
But when I heard Song Yi say this, I still felt very uncomfortable.
He thought about his own parents.
He suddenly traveled through time and space to this world, and he could fully imagine how sad his parents would be.
Fortunately, like the original owner, he is not an only child, so he does not have to worry about having no one to support his parents when they get old because of his time travel.
"I'm sorry..." Song Jie said these three words softly.
After a long silence, Song Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's enough for you to come back safely, second brother.
"For so many years, there was no news from you, we all thought you had...
"But fortunately you are back, look how happy our father was just now.
"I haven't seen my dad this happy in a long time.
"We must have a few more drinks with our father tonight."
"Well, have a few more drinks." Song Jie nodded with a smile.
After the two brothers reminisced about the past, Song Yi turned his gaze to Chen Siyao who was hiding behind Song Jie.
Song Yi grinned, showing Chen Siyao a pair of white teeth, and smiled softly: "Second brother, is this little girl yours?"
"Yaoyao, come here and introduce yourself to uncle." Song Jie pulled out Chen Siyao who was hiding behind him.
Chen Siyao looked at Song Jie, then at Song Yi, and felt that the uncle looked like her older brother's father.
However, listening to the previous conversation between the two, Chen Siyao already knew that this uncle who looked a bit old was actually Song Jie's older brother.
After muttering something in her heart, Chen Siyao still politely saluted Song Yi and said, "Hello, uncle. My name is Chen Siyao, and I am daddy's adopted daughter."
On the way here, Song Jie made an agreement with her that after arriving at Song Jie's hometown, she could no longer call him "big brother".
The relationship between the two temporarily became that of adoptive father and adopted daughter.
Before, they were in the market town where the monks lived, so it wouldn't be a big problem no matter how they called out.
But now, they are in a village where mortals live.
If Chen Siyao continues to call Song Jie "big brother", then to call Song Jie "dad" she has to call him "uncle" or "uncle".
But Song Jie's father is already in his seventies, and Chen Siyao is only six years old, the age difference is too big.
It is really strange for a six-year-old child to call a 70-year-old man "uncle" in a village where mortals live.
After Song Jie briefly explained the reason, Chen Siyao obediently accepted Song Jie's proposal.
So, now they are temporarily in the relationship of adoptive father and daughter.
When Song Yi heard Chen Siyao's words, he was stunned for a moment.
He also thought that Chen Siyao was Song Jie's daughter or granddaughter.
Although Song Jie looks young, as the eldest brother, he knows how old Song Jie is.
Considering Song Jie's age, having a five or six-year-old granddaughter is not an exaggeration at all in Song Yi's opinion, but a very normal thing.
After praising Chen Siyao for being well behaved, Song Yi looked at Song Jie with a strange expression.
After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Second brother, I want to ask you a question, are you married?"
"No." Song Jie answered confidently.
Hearing Song Jie's answer, Song Yi didn't find it strange at all, as if he had already guessed it.
"That's right, looking at your appearance, you still look so young, I think you must have learned real skills from the immortal.
"Marriage is not that important to my second brother.
"Unlike me, my elder brother, I am already old~"
Song Yi smiled self-deprecatingly.
Song Jie smiled slightly and asked, "Brother's child should be very big now, right?"
"I, your eldest brother, am already a grandfather, how old do you think my child is?"
Thinking of his somewhat naughty grandson, Song Yi couldn't help but reveal a doting smile on his face.
When Song Jie heard this, he was a little stunned.
He learned from the original owner's memory that when the original owner left home, Song Yi was still a bachelor who didn't even have a wife.
In their village, a bachelor in his twenties who is still single can be considered an older bachelor.
Unexpectedly, more than 20 years later, Song Yi not only has a wife, but also became a grandfather.
This actually surprised him a little.
After being stunned, Song Jie immediately smiled and congratulated Song Yi.
"Congratulations, big brother, you've become a grandfather."
Song Yi was naturally very happy about Song Jie's blessing.
However, Song Jie had not yet told him clearly whether he had really learned real skills from the immortal.
So Song Yi simply asked directly: "Second brother, after you left the village, did you really find the immortal?"
