Chapter 32: Adulthood

The oil lamp in the lantern flickered, and her heart warmed when she watched Yan Li squatting by the river to help her wash and wash herself. It is also extremely happy to have such a friend.

"Brother Yanli, thank you. ”

Yan Li held the washed dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and there was a little flickering in his eyes, he took a deep breath and said, "Sister Zhu, you are waiting for me here, I have something to do with you." ”

Shu Shu watched him hurriedly put the dishes and chopsticks back in the kitchen, and then walked towards him with heavy steps. What is the reason for him to find himself? Could it be ...... Shu Shu's face was hot, and he stood there a little overwhelmed, motionless. She really didn't think about the emotional problem, after all, there were still very few boys she dismissed, and only Brother Yanli was alone.

She thought that if Brother Yanli confessed to her, she would definitely agree, at least not refuse. Because her brother is not only gentle, but also very positive, and he also takes very good care of himself, just like a father takes care of his mother.

If they can stay in this valley all the time, they can be married and married, so that they can never be separated, collect medicine together, live together, and be by each other's side every day, if this is the case, she is willing to stay in this valley for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Shu Shu unconsciously covered his mouth and laughed.

"Sister Zhu, you look very happy, do you remember something happy?"

When she turned around again, she saw Yan Li standing in front of her, she immediately lowered her head and scratched her head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's okay, but I thought of something funny." Brother Yanli, do you have something to tell me when you look for me?"

The way the glass wanted to speak and stopped making Shu Shu's heart beat faster, could it be that he really wanted to confess to himself? If he really confessed, would he be able to be with him? If this was the case, would grandpa agree? If the father and mother came back from Chaoyang Valley, would they be angry?

Shu Shu thought a lot for a while, and seeing that Yan Li had been spitting out, she sighed helplessly and said, "Brother Yan Li, what do you want to say?"

Yan Li's brows were tightly twisted, her fists were clenched tightly, and she said a little nervously: "Sister Zhu, I may have to leave." ”

Suddenly hearing such an abrupt sentence, Shu Shu didn't react yet. For more than ten years, they have lived in the valley, where they have been collecting and cultivating medicines. The two of them spent almost all day together, and she never heard the idea of leaving from the Mourning Glass.

Now that she was suddenly leaving, she really couldn't figure it out. I had to bite the bullet and ask, "Brother Yanli, where are you going, why are you leaving? Does Grandpa know?"

"It's good to live here, I don't really want to leave, it's just that I still have a lot of unfinished tasks to do. I'm eighteen years old and I can't stay here anymore. It's dangerous out there and humans are evil, so stay in the valley and I'll pick you up when I succeed. ”

Shu Shu didn't understand this sentence a little, he wanted to leave, he didn't want to go, and he had to come back to pick him up...... She didn't seem to understand what Brother Yan Li was thinking. But she looked at the determined expression and the sadness in her eyes, and she knew very well that her brother was really leaving.

The wind by the river seemed to suddenly become a little cool, and Shu Shu's whole heart seemed to fall into the river in an instant, cold and slightly painful.

"Brother Yanli, I really don't know what you think, why did you want to leave? Will Grandpa agree? What if you are targeted by those men in black?"

The men in black have come once a year over the years, and every time they have to spend more than a month in a cave in the mountains before they dare to move back, and now they are a little scared when they think about it.

Now she is suddenly leaving the valley for a strange place, and she is full of worries but doesn't know what to do.

The eyes were full of firmness, and he watched the water in the creek rippling slightly. He said in a deep voice: "Sister Zhu, there are some things I have to do. The reason why those men in black come here every year is because of me, and when I leave, you can live a relatively peaceful life. Don't worry, I'm fine. ”

"But Brother Yanli's... kind..."

Grandpa walked over with slow steps, Shu Shu saw grandpa as if he saw the last hope, she immediately trotted over and pulled grandpa's arm and said with some concern: "Grandpa, tell me about the glaze, he is leaving the valley, he is still so young but a child, in case he is caught by the man in black......"

Before Shu Shu finished speaking, her grandfather interrupted her and said with a soft smile: "Zhu'er, be good...... Now you're not kids, he has the power to make decisions! So do you. ”

Shu Shu looked at her grandfather in surprise, she couldn't believe that this was what her grandfather said. In the past, they did what they couldn't do, and grandpa always had very strict rules, but it seemed that for a moment, grandpa didn't seem to care about anything.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

Grandpa looked at Shu Shu and sighed and said, "Grandpa, Zhu'er, grandpa can't accompany your manager for hundreds of thousands of years of ups and downs when he is old, you should have your own life." I've discussed it with your mom and dad, and they won't interfere with you too much. The way forward is up to you. Of course, if you want to continue living in the valley with your grandfather, I am also very welcome, and this will also be beneficial to your cultivation. As for Yan Li, I can't control his choice. ”

Grandpa told them a long time ago that by the time they were eighteen years old, he would no longer interfere too much with everyone's going or staying. Shu Shu didn't expect Grandpa to say it, but he did it.

Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded and said, "Thank you grandpa for your success, sister Zhu, you should stay in this valley, there are your sisters and grandpa and Shu Yu, your family is here." I'm going to look for my family too. ”

Shu Zhu's brows furrowed tightly, all of Mourning's family had been killed when the men in black first attacked the village. Why is it said that now? She said with some confusion: "I know some things are difficult to accept, but your family has all ...... You have to understand that when they are gone, you won't find them wherever you go!"

Saying such things would definitely make Yan Li feel sad, but Shu Shu also understood that if he didn't stop him in time now, everything would be over in the hands of the man in black after he went out, and it would be best to live a peaceful, happy and happy life like now in the valley of Qingqiu Mountain.

Yan Li said helplessly: "Sister Zhu, I know that you said that this is for my good, but I have more important things to do, it was my adoptive parents who were killed by the men in black, and I still have biological parents but I don't know where they are, whether they have anything to do with those men in black, and whether they are in danger now, I don't know these things, so I have to leave here." ”
