Walking slowly towards that side, the corners of Long Aotian's mouth couldn't help but even tremble a little. Looking at the familiar figure, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart for no reason! A few steps and one step, soon, he came to the opposite side of Maria, at this moment, Maria also looked at Long Aotian with moist and slightly red eyes, and her body was also a little trembling.

Looking carefully at Aunt Maria, who had lived with him for more than ten years, Long Aotian felt a heart-wrenching pain at this moment. I was so panicked that I almost didn't let my tears fall out.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and standing opposite Mary at this moment, Long Aotian can clearly see that compared with a few years ago, Aunt Maria really looks a lot older.

Yes, unconsciously, she is in her forties, a woman, this age is not small, unconsciously, she has grown up with herself, and she has also paid her life for herself! Looking back on the life in the Long family, she and Aunt Maria can be said to be dependent on each other, and the only person who can feel the care of the young self in the whole family is Aunt Maria, who has regarded her as his mother in those years.

Unconsciously she has grown up, she has become an adult, and she is gradually getting old, looking carefully, Long Aotian can even see a few traces of silver head on his sideburns, the years are unforgiving, especially women, they still can't resist the erosion of the years. Seeing this scene, Long Aotian couldn't help but feel extremely sad.

Thinking about Maria's pull to the present, I don't know how much suffering she has gone through, how many sins she has suffered to get to where she is today, and now she has finally achieved something, but she has never let her really enjoy a happy life, thinking of this and even this moment he secretly hates himself. Hate yourself for doing too badly.

"Auntie, I'm back!" Long Aotian said in a hoarse voice after a long silence, as if his throat had been swallowed by something. Have a bone in one's throat. One sentence contains his thousands of thoughts.

"It's good to be back?????? You've grown up again, hehe, you're a real man now!"

took a step forward, slowly walked to Long Aotian's side, and after reaching out and stroking Long Aotian's water-chestnut face, Mary also said in a trembling voice.

The weak little arrogant man at the beginning is gone, replaced by a big man who stands up to the sky! Now he has become famous6, and now he can be regarded as a tyrant, and now no one dares to despise him, and now he can even attract the eyes of others wherever he goes, but so what? In his own eyes, he has always been the little boy he has brought up.

Looking at the slightly deep eyes, which contained countless vicissitudes of life, looking at his smiling face, which was carved by years and countless grinding, Maria's heart was sour, it was hard to imagine how much this little guy had endured over the years, how many things he had experienced, and how many things he had endured before he would be polished by the years, and it was very difficult to think about it.

There is a trace of heartache in his heart, he does not have the relaxed and happy childhood of other children, others only see that he is now an achievement, and only hear his earth-shattering deeds, but a few people have thought carefully about how much blood and sweat Long Aotian left behind in order to achieve such an achievement, in order to create those deeds behind him, how many painful tears did Long Aotian leave?

It's not that a man has no tears, and a man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place, so others can't see it! But as a person who has watched him grow up, can he still not know him?

"Okay, let's go, let's go in, go in and have a good rest, hehe must be tired when he comes back, you guys take a rest, I'll cook two more dishes, today you're back, let's celebrate." ”

Taking a deep breath, suppressing her surging emotions, controlling her feelings, and controlling her tears, Maria squeezed out a smile and said to Long Aotian and the girls. Taking a deep breath, I saw her preparing to walk towards the back room.

"Auntie, no need, let me come, I'll come, you can rest well today!" Seeing Maria who turned around and was about to leave, Long Aotian hurriedly grabbed her and said.

Hearing Long Aotian's words, not only Maria, but the rest of the women were stunned for a moment, and then looked at him suspiciously, a big man's cooking, they couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was.

"No need, you can take a good rest, you must be tired when you came back just now, just rest well, just let me come!"

Looking at Long Aotian with a smile, Maria directly rejected his request, men should do men's things, and it is enough for women to do these things.

Long Aotian, who ignored what he wanted to continue to say, left straight away, leaving Long Aotian and the third daughter with a wry smile on their faces.

"What about those people?" looked around, but nothing appeared, Long Aotian asked suspiciously. Of course, the people in his mouth were naturally the soldiers of the guards he had left in the imperial capital, and he had left hundreds of soldiers here to protect a few women, but he didn't see any of them when he came back this time, and he knew that those people would definitely not stay alone in the imperial capital after leaving a few women.

There was a sudden feeling of heartache in his heart, as if he realized something, and the realization of this situation made him frown tightly.

Hearing Long Aotian's words, the women were stunned for a moment, but they still couldn't react for a while, who were the people he was asking. But soon, the next moment, Park Xiyan was the first to react, a slightly sad look flashed in his eyes, and then he took a deep breath and looked at Long Aotian and said in a low voice: "The soldiers you left behind were almost lost in that battle that was sneak attacked, and the remaining thirty or so people were also brought out by the old-timers, and now they are also in this central circle, I heard that they were sent to a place for training, isn't there still a snow treading over there to train together?" The old-timers said, you know where that place is, if you come back, you can go and see it!"

This topic reminded the girls of that night's bitter battle, and of the night they had seen when they suddenly heard a voice in the mansion.

It may be regarded as the first time they have witnessed the process of the battle, the battle between blood and fire is not full of any emotion at all, flesh and blood are flying, blood is flowing like a river, and the smell of blood is tangy. The tragic scene even sometimes dreams when they have nightmares, after all, several people can be regarded as pampered, when have they seen such a scene, when have they experienced such a tragic scene?

That day's battle made them understand a lot, watching those soldiers rushing towards the enemy who was obviously several times stronger than themselves as if they were not afraid of death, knowing that they would die, but they had no hesitation, looking at their madness before they died, the women finally understood what was called a battle, what was called a war, they knew that what they saw was just a fairly small battle, and the battles that Long Aotian experienced outside all day long were not the same.

After that day, they could all imagine the scenes of the battles that Long Aotian experienced when he was on the front line, and they could imagine the scenes of their bloody battles. From that day on, the original thoughts in their hearts were even worse, and from that day on, they no longer complained that Long Aotian always left them. Because they knew that they could no longer let Long Aotian have something to distract him from in such a thrilling battle.

"Well, I know!" After hearing Park Xiyan's words, Long Aotian's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice. I couldn't suppress the pain in my heart, hundreds of brothers who followed me from birth to death, hundreds of brothers who wandered over with me on the edge of the death line, I didn't expect that it was almost lost, and the feeling of life and death made people feel a heartache.

"Okay, you guys rest first, I'll cook dinner with Aunt Maria today, hehe, it's been a long time since we've eaten together!"

After taking a deep breath, Long Aotian said to the three of them, Now he hopes that he can be quiet and calm his mood alone.

"Well, then let's go in first!" grabbed Park Xiyan, who wanted to speak, Hua Ningshuang said softly, she is always able to observe words and colors, and always make the most accurate decisions at the most appropriate time. She knew that Long Aotian at this time might really need to be quiet alone, after all, anyone would be in a bad mood at this time.

After giving the other two a slight look, Hua Ningshuang pulled Ouyang Ruoshui and Park Xiyan towards the inside.

Looking at the departing girls, Long Aotian felt bitter in his heart, smiled bitterly, and walked towards the kitchen where Maria was.

"Why are you here?" asked Maria, who was cooking, with a smile when she saw Long Aotian come in.

"Hehe, if you have nothing to do, come in and help!" Long Aotian said softly with a slight smile.

"No need, you better go and accompany a few of them! You haven't been here for a few years, but they think about it! I'm just here alone, I don't need help, besides, one more person will only be busier!"

"Forget it, I'll just go out and get it, anyway, I see that there is a lot of meat here!" Hearing Maria's words, Long Aotian said with a bitter smile, and then stepped forward to cut off a piece of meat and slowly walked outside.

Looking at Long Aotian's back, the corners of Maria's mouth showed a smile of relief.
