Chapter 013: Departure
Yun Tian gently pushed open the door and looked around, the room was empty. The furnishings are simple and rustic, with a square table made of solid wood with a simple but beautiful circle chair on either side of the table. In addition, they are some very common daily necessities, some of which even look a little worn, but because each piece is placed so neatly and distantly, it is very organized, which shows how much the owner usually cares, and the overall look gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Fortunately, my father hasn't come back yet" Yun Tian found that his father had not come back from going up the mountain to chop firewood, and whispered with some joy. Yun Tian turned around and closed the door, and then walked straight to a corner of the room.
On a wooden bench stacked with miscellaneous items were neatly stacked some very worn but clean clothes, most of which were old clothes that I had worn before, and some clothes that my father had worn out but was reluctant to throw away. Yun Tian carefully picked up the clothes and put them on the bed. At the bottom of these garments, a neatly folded but somewhat flattened dark brown hide.
Yun Tian looked at the familiar and unfamiliar animal skin and hesitated for a moment, then carefully picked it up and held it in his hand. After today's incident in Lao Linzi, Yun Tian seemed to have a different emotion for the animal skin in his hand at this time. Yun Tian's palm slowly stroked the fur gently, feeling the extremely delicate and soft fur slowly passing between his fingers, as if each fur was tugging at Yun Tian's complex heartstrings at this time.
After a while, Yun Tian spread out the animal skin in his hand and spread it on the bed, and then reached out to take out the animal skin on his chest, which was also spread out next to the animal skin just now.
Yun Tian quietly looked at the two animal skins on the bed, his eyes moving between the two animal skins, as if he was looking for the difference between the two animal skins. But no matter how you look at it, you can't find a trace of difference, the two hides are exactly the same, except for the shape...
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through Yun Tian's mind.
"Whew, is it?" Yun Tian suddenly wrinkled his forehead when he thought of this, and muttered something in an unbelievable tone in his mouth.
Yun Tian quickly observed the shape of the two hides, and the notch on the edge. Then, facing the gap between the two skins, put the two skins back together.
"Is this really providence?" Yun Tian looked at the animal skin on the bed with complicated eyes, and with a shocked expression on his face, he whispered in an incredible tone.
Yun Tian's mind was already in a mess, looking at the two animal skins in front of him, which were originally one, and the scenes he had experienced today. Although it is impossible to explain today's strange experience, it is certain that it is definitely not a dream, and it cannot be as simple as a hallucination.
Yuntian sat on the chair with a wooden expression, and his mind was full of the scene in the tomb, Yuntian stone, animal skin, old forest, frozen tomb... What is inextricably linked to his own life experience? Yun Tian's mind was already a mess at this time, and he didn't have a clue. Unconsciously, Yun Tian put his hand on the Yuntian Stone on his chest, looked at the front with deep and misty eyes, and unconsciously stroked the stone in his hand, falling into deep thought.
I secretly made up my mind that I must find out my life experience. If there is no bizarre experience today, no clues in front of him, and one mystery after another related to his life experience, Yuntian may really live an ordinary life, but the arrangement of fate is not something he can choose.
After Yuntian made up his mind, he quickly put away the animal skin and put it in its place before his father returned, and the animal skin obtained from the tomb was also put in that place. Normally, no one touched it, and my father was so busy every day that he didn't have time to touch it, so it shouldn't be noticed by my father.
Just as Yuntian had just restored things to their original state, a familiar sound of footsteps came from outside. Yun Tian quickly opened the door with an arrow step, and a man with gray hair and a bright smile on his face was standing in front of the door, his right hand stopped in mid-air, as if he was startled by the door that suddenly opened automatically, and he was stunned.
"Tian'er, what are you doing, scare me, why did you lock the door" Lao Chai withdrew the hand that was about to push the door, and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's just a little tired, I slept for a while, and I was afraid that someone would come in, so I locked the door" Yun Tian's heart was still pounding, with a hint of nervousness in his tone, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Huh, father, didn't you go to chop wood today, why did you come back empty-handed" Yun Tian looked at his father empty-handed, hurriedly diverted the topic, and asked a little puzzled.
Lao Chai on the side has been wearing a bright smile without the slightest concealment on his face since he entered the door, Lao Chai took down the axe and put it aside, turned around to the wooden chair next to the table, picked up a bowl of herbal tea on the table and drank it all, so it seemed that he could not extinguish Lao Chai's excited smile from the bottom of his heart.
"What's the matter?Father, what's a good thing, it's rare to see you have such an interest today" Father returned empty-handed today, but he was extremely happy, looking at his father's happy smiling face, Yun Tian couldn't help but smile, and asked a little puzzled.
"It's a good thing, it's a good thing, haha, come, you come and sit down, haha..." Lao Chai smiled and beckoned Yun Tian to sit opposite him, it felt like announcing that he was the next village chief.
"Then tell me quickly, what is the good thing, let me be happy and happy......" Yun Tian asked a little impatiently.
Lao Chai put away his smile, paused and said, "Do you remember that three years ago, a rich man from a town was hunting and playing in the mountains near our village and encountered a wild wolf attack?"
"Remember, of course remember, it was your father at that time that you happened to meet and save him, don't you still have a scar on your arm now, what does the good thing you said have to do with this?" Yun Tian was still confused.
"Hey, hey... It has a relationship, it has a big relationship, since he saved him last time, he is very grateful, and most of our firewood is collected by him. It's not today, I went to deliver firewood to Nanfu in the town as usual, and when I was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed me and said that he wanted you to go to Hwaseong with his son. What college to study, I can't remember exactly what college, and said that all the expenses during the period were paid by him, hehe... Hwaseong is the largest city within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the colleges inside must be no different... Hehe" Lao Chai smiled a little from ear to ear, and explained the matter in detail with a loud voice.
"What? Wait, go study? Why did you suddenly remember to ask me to go with you?" After listening to it, Yuntian felt like another sudden 'change' he experienced today, it seems that today is really a special day. Yun Tian was not as excited as Lao Chai imagined, but had some doubts and even a sense of unease.
"That's right, according to him, at the beginning, it was decided to let the son of the housekeeper accompany him, but it seems that he broke his leg when he was playing with the little young master of Nanfu a few days ago, so he must not be able to go, the key is that Nanfu is not worried that he will go alone, isn't this time when he suddenly saw me..."
"What, don't you want to go?" Seeing that Yun Tian was not as overjoyed as he expected, not even a trace of joy could be found on his cheeks, but more of a mixed feeling of disappointment.
"Isn't it good now? It's good to be happy with the big stone monkeys and them every day, and when I grow up, I can also chop wood, hunt or something like the people in the village, I think this kind of life is very good, it suits me" Yun Tian lowered his head and thought about it, and then said flatly. The voice was not loud, but I could hear a trace of puzzlement, and I didn't understand why my father sent him so far away to study.
"Kid...... This kind of life is very good, comfortable and comfortable, and you don't have to worry too much about anything else. But have you ever thought about what the outside world is like? I want you to get in touch with the outside world, to feel the life outside of this small mountain village, I am so old, and I still want to go outside to see it, but I guess that's it, but you are different, today is your birthday, you will be fifteen years old today, you must ......" Lao Chai suddenly heard it, paused and calmed down. At this time, there was no longer the joy of before, a trace of sourness came out of the bottom of my heart, and I seemed to say it seriously, but I always felt a little vague between the words, as if I was hiding something.
"As a boy, I want you to see more of the outside world, and it's not a bad thing to have more experience and more experience......" Lao Chai got up and walked to Yun Tian's side, sat down next to him, and gently hugged Yun Tian's shoulders and said.
"How long are you going" Yun Tian lowered his head and thought quietly for a long time, and asked in a very soft voice.
"Three, three years" Lao Chai hesitated a little, and looked out of the door with blank eyes.
"Three years?!So when am I leaving?"
"Tomorrow"
“... Okay" Yun Tian frowned and wanted to say something after hearing this, but swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, then lowered his head again, and agreed very reluctantly. These two words are like a thousand pounds, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze them out of my throat, and along with them, there was a slight choking. Drops of 'indisputable' tears piled up and swirled in his eyes......
Lao Chai is not, this is the first time that the father and son have been separated in fifteen years, looking at Yun Tian's reluctant expression, the corners of his eyes were already moist at this time, but he still stiffened out a 'manly' like a calm smile and said, "It's only been three years, and it's not long, it's gone in a blink of an eye, maybe you don't want to come back then, hum..."
Speaking of this, Yun Tian couldn't hold back any longer, and tears came out of his eyes, like the collapsed embankment out of control. threw himself into his father's arms......
The last rays of the setting sun were also mercilessly swallowed up by the night, and the stars quietly appeared in the sky, and a crescent moon crept up the branches. Beams of moonlight shone through the branches and through the windows on Yuntian's cheeks, which were still a little stained with tears.
Yuntian was lying quietly on the bed, and before he knew it, it was late at night, but there was no trace of sleepiness, and a pair of eyes looked straight ahead.
Everything that happened today was so sudden, as if I had made an appointment, and I wanted to give myself a huge 'surprise' on my birthday.
The clouds are unusually calm on the surface, but inside they are like the undercurrent under the calm lake, and they can't be calm. There's so much going on today, and each one of them is enough for a pot of my own drink. I just found out that there were a little clues in my bizarre life experience, and before I had time to figure it out, I was about to face parting with my family's hometown. This kind of mood is probably incomprehensible to ordinary people, and it seems that if you want to find out your life experience, you can only postpone it.
This night seemed so long and difficult for Yuntian. At the same time, his father, who was also lying quietly on the side, did not feel a trace of sleepiness, and for Lao Chai, he knew in his heart that this time he parted, and he might not have the opportunity to meet again......
A new day is coming, what will it be to greet the clouds, what life will be like when he leaves the village, these are things that he can't imagine if he wants to break his head and rack his brains, in the future life, for a boy who is only fifteen years old, everything he has experienced today is nothing more than what will happen in the future......
