Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 224 Return to Taoyuan Village
Flowers bloom and fall, clouds expand and disperse, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan's daughter Li Siyan is already one year old, but she is still babbling and has not even learned to walk yet.
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan accompanied Xiao Siyan every day, and even rarely used the maids prepared by Shen Hua for them. They took care of her almost all the time.
The two of them were reluctant to let anyone else take care of Xiao Siyan.
"Si Yan, your name is the combination of your father and mother. You must grow up happily." Shen Luoyan held her daughter and whispered softly, her delicate little face full of doting.
When Li Xuanfeng saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face and an expression of great satisfaction appeared in his eyes, as if his current life was what he had always been pursuing.
Under the careful care of Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan, little Siyan grew up very fast. Two months later, she learned to walk completely and began to stagger around the room.
Little Siyan has rosy and tender skin, picturesque features, and is like a porcelain doll. She exudes cuteness in every move.
Soon after learning to walk, little Siyan spoke more fluently and called out "Daddy" in full for the first time, which surprised Li Xuanfeng very much.
At first, Shen Luoyan was very jealous of Li Xuanfeng because of this matter, because little Siyan had not yet called her mother.
"Xiao Siyan actually called you and not me. She is so biased." Shen Luoyan complained to Li Xuanfeng with jealousy.
When Li Xuanfeng saw her resentful look, he continued to teach Xiao Siyan, and finally half a month later she called Shen Luoyan "Mom", which made Shen Luoyan extremely happy.
Although Xiao Siyan looks very similar to Shen Luoyan, her personality is different. Xiao Siyan is very quiet and rarely cries or acts naughty, as if she is not even one or two years old.
Time passed in the laughter of the family. In a blink of an eye, Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan had been married for three years, and little Siyan was about to be two years old. On this day, Li Xuanfeng stood in the yard, looked up in the direction of Taoyuan Village, and reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
He plans to return to Taoyuan Village!
Shen Luoyan noticed his abnormality, walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"I want to take you back to meet my parents." Li Xuanfeng smiled and hugged her and replied.
"Okay!" Shen Luoyan agreed immediately after hearing this. She had been married to Li Xuanfeng for three years, but she had never even met her own parents-in-law. This was really unfilial.
The next morning, Li Xuanfeng found Shen Hua and discussed the matter with him. Shen Hua was a little hesitant, but after thinking for a moment, he agreed.
"Remember what you agreed with me." Shen Hua finally reminded seriously.
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold." Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly and answered firmly.
"When are you leaving?" Shen Hua suddenly asked this question, with a hint of reluctance in his tone that was hard to hide.
"Let's do it tomorrow." Li Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and replied.
After hearing this, Shen Hua did not say another word, but turned around and left to prepare for Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan.
He needed to make full preparations for them in case of any accidents along the way.
Li Xuanfeng went back and told Shen Luoyan that they would set off tomorrow. The two began to pack their luggage and also took a lot of dry food and travel expenses.
That afternoon, Han Yuelai found Shen Luoyan and talked with her for a long time. Her tone was full of reluctance. They even talked until their eyes became moist and red, and they almost shed tears.
This will be the first time Shen Luoyan leaves her parents. Since birth, Shen Luoyan has grown up under the careful care of her parents.
Before she met Li Xuanfeng, although she was very clever and often ran out of the Shen Mansion, she had never really left.
She had never been separated from her parents for more than a day, and she didn't know how long she would be away this time!
Han Yue and Shen Luoyan, mother and daughter, chatted until dusk, while Li Xuanfeng took little Siyan around the Shen Mansion alone.
The family sat together and had dinner. Shen Hua was silent for a long time before he squeezed out four words: "Be careful on the road."
Han Yue also became silent, seeming still immersed in the sadness of parting.
Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan had a good sleep at night. The next day, as the early sun shone through the windowsill, they got up, packed up, had some breakfast, picked up the still sleeping little Siyan, and walked towards .
When they arrived at the gate of Shen's Mansion, they unexpectedly saw Shen Hua and Han Yue. They had been waiting here for a long time and had gotten up earlier than them.
Li Xuanfeng had no choice. He and Shen Luoyan had originally planned to leave early to avoid being too sad when saying goodbye.
At this time, at the gate of Shen Mansion, there were not only Shen Hua and Han Yue, but also three big guards behind them.
"Are you two planning to go back like this?" Shen Hua glared at them and asked in reproach when he saw that they were only carrying small luggage bags and holding little Siyan.
Li Xuanfeng wanted to speak, but thinking that he might be scolded by his father-in-law, he could only smile and did not explain.
"These three guards have followed me for many years and are my confidants. Let them escort you back." Shen Hua raised his hand and pointed at the three guards behind him and said to Li Xuanfeng and the others.
These were the three loyal guards that Shen Hua had carefully selected yesterday. He chose these three to follow him every day as he did not trust anyone else on the long journey for his daughter and son-in-law back home.
If he had not been held up by affairs in the city and unable to leave, he would have even planned to go there in person with Li Xuanfeng.
"Young Master, Young Lady." After Shen Hua finished speaking, the three guards walked forward, clasped their fists and bowed to Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan, greeting them respectfully.
Li Xuanfeng also noticed at this time that behind these three big men, each of them was carrying a large luggage bag. He guessed that it was not just their clothes. Given their personalities as guards, they would definitely not carry so many things.
Li Xuanfeng immediately realized that this was Shen Hua's preparation for them, and he bowed to him gratefully and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Shen Hua and Han Yue reminded them again to be careful on the road, to be wary of people nearby, and that the world is a dangerous place.
"Okay, Dad and Mom, don't worry. With Xuanfeng and the three guards here, nothing can happen." Seeing that his parents were still worried, Shen Luoyan spoke to comfort them.
After hearing their daughter's words, Shen Hua and Han Yue realized that they seemed to be worrying too much, and they felt relieved instantly.
This was the first time that Shen Luoyan left them for a long time, and she took her granddaughter Xiao Siyan with her. Shen Hua and Han Yue were worried that it was inevitable, and they could hardly suppress their emotions in their hearts.
Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan said goodbye to Shen Hua and Han Yue, walked out of the gate of Xuanling City, and started heading towards Taoyuan Village.
Li Xuanfeng has been working in the wild since he was a child, and he once came to Xuanling City from Taoyuan Village alone, so he is familiar with the route.
Little Siyan was quiet in character and never made any noise along the way, which saved Li Xuanfeng and the others a lot of trouble. She just often asked out of curiosity about the things she saw, and Shen Luoyan patiently explained them to her.
When he was in the wild, Li Xuanfeng would find ways to catch wild animals or pick fruits for food. When passing through a village, he would stay overnight in the villagers' homes and replenish his dry food.
As Li Xuanfeng had expected, the large luggage bags on the backs of the three guards contained a large amount of dry food, tools, and even a lot of tableware. As long as they could make a fire, they could even cook hot dishes directly.
With Li Xuanfeng's experience and the powerful martial arts of the three guards, they had no danger along the way. After two months, they saw three mountains that were leaning against each other.
When Li Xuanfeng saw these three mountains, a deep look of nostalgia emerged in his eyes. In the center surrounded by these three mountains is his hometown.
"This is the cave that leads to our village."
Li Xuanfeng led everyone to find the cave leading to Taoyuan Village. At this time, the entrance to the cave was covered with vines, and it was obvious that no one had entered or exited for a long time.
Shen Luoyan and the three guards were amazed. They could hardly believe that this was the entrance to the village. It seemed that no one had left the village for a long time.
After carefully passing through the cave, they appeared in Taoyuan Village. Shen Luoyan and his companions vaguely saw busy villagers in the distance, and they had to believe Li Xuanfeng's words.
Li Xuanfeng rushed straight home. He became anxious and quickened his pace.
There were no houses or fields near the entrance of the cave, and there were no villagers here at this time, so no one noticed the arrival of Li Xuanfeng and his companions.
It was already evening when Li Xuanfeng entered the house and heard the sounds of cooking and his parents talking.
"Four or five years have passed, why hasn't Xuanfeng come back yet? Is anything wrong?" In the kitchen, Li Xuanfeng's mother Yang Qing asked Li Tang, her tone full of worry.
"What could possibly happen to the son I taught? I think this heartless guy is having so much fun playing outside that he doesn't want to leave." Li Tang answered with pride, and then couldn't help complaining.
As he said this, Li Tang silently smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, he was just trying to comfort his wife. His son had been away for four or five years and he was very worried, but he couldn't show it at all. Otherwise, if his wife knew, it would only make her more worried.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Li Xuanfeng walked straight into the house and shouted loudly.
"Dad, did you hear that? I seemed to hear Xuanfeng's voice!" Yang Qing asked in surprise.
"Did you hear it too? I thought I was just hallucinating." Li Tang was immediately overjoyed when he heard his wife's words, and ran out of the kitchen with her.
When they arrived at the yard, they saw their long-awaited son. Tears instantly welled up in their slightly old eyes and they cried with joy.
Li Xuanfeng was somewhat tearful when he realized that his parents had actually aged a lot in the past four or five years, which made him blame himself a lot.
"Xiao Feng, you're finally back. We were so worried." Yang Qing immediately walked over and looked at him left and right, as if he wanted to see if there were any changes.
"Look, you've lost weight. Is it because you didn't eat well outside?" After looking at her for a few seconds, Yang Qing said with some blame.
Hearing his mother's words, Li Xuanfeng felt a little helpless. Compared to when he left the village, he was much stronger now, but he was still thin in his mother's eyes.
"You little bastard, you still remember to come back?" Li Tang walked up and punched Li Xuanfeng in the chest, cursing with a smile.
At this moment, Shen Luoyan and a few others, who were lagging behind for a distance, also entered the yard and immediately attracted the attention of Li Xuanfeng's parents. They found that they were strangers they had never seen before and were not from the village, so they looked at Li Xuanfeng .
"Dad, Mom!" Shen Luoyan called out softly when she saw Li Tang and his wife, leaving them even more confused.
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is your daughter-in-law Shen Luoyan, and your granddaughter Li Siyan." Li Xuanfeng came to Shen Luoyan, introduced them to his parents with a smile, and pointed to little Siyan in Shen Luoyan's arms.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Tang's eyes widened instantly, staring at Shen Luoyan and Xiao Siyan carefully again and again, and then burst into laughter. They didn't expect that not only did their son come back, but he also brought back his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
"Okay, okay, come in quickly. The food is just ready. You must be tired after the long journey. Sit down and eat first. I'll go cook a few more dishes." Yang Qing immediately smiled and invited everyone to come in to eat.
Li Xuanfeng led a few people into the house and sat down, fetching bowls and chopsticks. His mother Yang Qing quickly fried a few more dishes and put them on the table, and everyone started to have dinner together.
As for the three guards, Li Xuanfeng also forcefully invited them to come to the table for dinner. He had become very familiar with them during their interactions on the way back. Li Xuanfeng didn't care about their status at all and told them not to be too restrained.
That night, Li Xuanfeng chatted with his parents for a long time, as if they had endless things to talk about, and they didn't fall asleep until late at night.
