Lao Tian cried for a long time - it can be said that when a man, a man like Lao Tian, wept bitterly, wailed like a beast that had been wounded, it was really sad to the extreme.

It had already darkened, and Lao Tian had been kneeling there for more than two hours, tears falling to the ground, and soon dissolving into the dirt. His fingers were deep in the dirt, his fingertips clenched, and he had a handful of dirt and a few stones in his hand, which were now shattered in his palm.

When the wailing voice gradually subsided, Lao Tian finally raised his head, gently wiped his tears, and wiped the dirt on his face, he didn't care at all. He just stood up, reached out and touched the wall of the room again, his movements were slow and delicate, and even gave people the illusion that he was not touching a dilapidated brick wall at the moment, but caressing his lover.

Finally, with a faint sigh, Lao Tian did not look back, but whispered: "You...... Seen them all? ”

There seemed to be no figure around, but with Lao Tian's words, behind a big tree in the distance, a figure turned out, and it was the phoenix.

“…… I saw it all. Phoenix's voice was a little cold.

"How long have you been here?" Lao Tian looked down at his hands and looked at the black mud between his fingers.

"It's not too long." The phoenix took a few steps forward, snuggled next to the big tree, and stared at Lao Tian quietly: "Just when you shed your first tears." ”

Lao Tian seemed to smile, but this smile was covered by tears, and there was a bit of a bleak taste: "You...... I must think it's ridiculous...... That's why we're crying so miserably. ”

There was a pause. He finally turned around. Look at the phoenix at eye level. His tone became a little strange. It's hard to figure out: "Actually...... I know. You must hate me in your heart. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Phoenix's mouth. But there was a bit of mockery in this smile: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because...... Always. Lao Tian shook his head. He tilted his head. Looking at the sky through the gaps in the leaves overhead: "It's always been like this!" back then. After Mingyue died. I took her daughter Xiao Nianyue with me. That's it. She hated me later. And then. Nian Yue died. I took the children of Nianyuedi with me. The children of Nianyuedi also hate me......"

His fingers clenched again, "I know." Although I hate that guy. hated him for hurting Mingyue back then...... But actually. At last. Kill the people of Bright Moon. It's me. If in the current year. I promised Mingyue. Promised to be with her. She'll be given a new lease on life. But after I turned her down. She literally lost all hope. And then...... It is withering and dying. ”

"Your story. I listened to it a lot. Phoenix shook his head: "That's why I haven't understood...... Why did you refuse her back then. Aren't you supposed to love her so much? ”

Lao Tian was silent. He did not answer the question. It's a secret that belongs to his heart.

The phoenix looked at Lao Tian, as if after a while, she shook her head: "Uncle Tian, I don't hate you. After all, although I am a descendant of Mingyue, I don't know her and have never met her. So, I don't hate you...... But, I have to admit that I've always looked down on you. Because of your cowardice. When happiness fell in front of you, you actually gave up, I have never figured this out. You used to love her so much, never leave her side, and accompany her through the most painful years, but when she really accepted you, you retreated, which made me despise you very much.

Maybe you have a special reason, but I think you should go for it instead of giving up right away. ”

Lao Tian didn't speak, he was smiling bitterly.

For? Try?

Yes, it seems that all suffering can be tried and earned. Even if the person Mingyue fell in love with back then was not me, but him...... I am also willing to wait for a glimmer of hope.

But...... Can bloodline be changed?

Unless, unless the person has never existed! Unless time is reversed! Unless......

Unless you don't have such a damn long life!!

Me, why should I live so long! Why!!

But Lao Tian would not say this to Phoenix.

He chose to dodge, but he smiled as if very shallowly, and used a smile to hide the bitterness in his heart.

"Despise it, despise it, even I despise myself." Lao Tian shook his head, he looked around: "Here, this forest, I and Mingyue cut it down together, there was originally a wooden house here, and we built it together, I used to live here for a few months and accompany her." Sometimes, do you know what my biggest distress is right now? ”

"What?" Phoenix asked.

"It's time." Lao Tian's tone was a little incomprehensible, his eyes were also a little sloppy, slightly distracted, and he said softly: "Time can erase all traces." But I'm alive! After all these years, I'm still alive. I'm going to miss her like crazy. Whenever I miss her, I can't help but want to look for some traces of what we left together. Yes...... There should be many, many traces of these......

Back then, I accompanied her to walk around, we watched the rain by the West Lake in Hangzhou, sat on the Leifeng Pagoda and drank, I accompanied her to the desert, to the grassland, to the outside of the customs, to the south, to the rìben, to many, many places. In these places, we have all left traces and made memories.

However, too long has passed.

Most of the traces we left behind back then are no longer there. Trees were cut down, hillsides were razed, and buildings were demolished...... Even West Lake is no longer what it was back then.

Sometimes I think that in a few decades, I may still be alive, and at that time, when I miss her, I am afraid that I will never find a place where I can remember the time I spent with her.

Like now, here, this place. This house, which was supposed to be a wooden house, was built by our own hands back then.

But many years passed, the house was demolished and rebuilt, and the current brick house was built by a later man. It's no longer the wooden house it used to be, belonging to me and Mingyue.

I'm now finding more and more of a place where we can keep our traces. Most of those places no longer exist.

There is a saying: over time, everything will pass. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Tian glanced at the phoenix. At this moment, his face still looked like a middle-aged man, but in his eyes, he was full of old age: "Do you believe this sentence?" ”

Phoenix was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"I don't believe it." Lao Tian quickly made up his mind, and then he smiled again, and his smile was even more astringent.

"In this world, some things will pass...... There are some things that can never be passed! ”

When the phoenix heard this, his body suddenly shook, and he looked at Lao Tian with some complicated eyes.

Lao Tian walked over slowly and walked in front of Phoenix, he looked at Phoenix's young and beautiful face, and then smiled, there was some kindness in his smile.

He reached out and pinched Phoenix's nose, then gently scraped her delicate face: "You, and all the descendants of Mingyue, are as if they are my children." Little Phoenix, in fact, I have always cared about you.

I know, in fact, you will secretly go to the Xiao family every year to take a look, and secretly go to the Xiao family town to see this family of your ancestors.

Every time, when the Xiao family opens an ancestral hall and holds a sect meeting, you get the news, no matter what you have in your hand, you will find a way to throw it away, and then run back, hide in the dark, and secretly look at the people of the Xiao family.

I feel sorry for you. Because...... Back then, I only sent Xiao Qing back, but I didn't send you back...... Please forgive me, it wasn't my decision, it's your mother. Therefore, Xiao Qing can return to 'home', but you don't have a 'home'. ”

Phoenix's face changed, on her beautiful face, her cheeks twitched, and a hint of haze flashed in her eyes, but then she smiled: "So what?" ”

She tried her best to laugh, but the smile was reluctant: "These are all arranged by fate!" It's predestined! It was the fireworks that told me! ”

"Fuck fate, fuck fate!"

Lao Tian suddenly scolded, and his aura became very annoyed.

Phoenix Huo Ran changed and stared at Lao Tian in surprise: "What did you say!" ”

"I said fucking fate!" Lao Tian said loudly: "We always thought that fate was predestined!" That's because we believe it! But if we don't believe it, we don't have to worry about it! Live your life well, and fuck the rest! ”

Lao Tian laughed wildly a few times, and burst into tears again: "It's a pity that I only started to understand this truth recently, if I understood these truths decades earlier...... Perhaps, everything will be different! Even if Mingyue and I will still be separated in the end, at least, I can enjoy a good time with her. Hear me out, Phoenix. ”

Lao Tian's hand fell on Phoenix's head and gently stroked her hair: "When you think one thing is impossible. That's because you have already admitted defeat in your own heart, and you yourself have decided that it is impossible. But if you don't have that in mind, then ...... Anything is possible! ”

In the midst of laughter, Lao Tian drifted away, and when he was more than ten meters away, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you." Maybe you don't know it yet, but the news hasn't spread yet...... Fireworks, the guy who kept telling us that her fate was predestined, she died. Died on what she thought was the so-called 'destined fate'! Because she believed in fate, she died. ”

……………………

When Lao Tian returned to the inn, Shi Gaofei finally turned off the TV and got out of bed, and the TV had been dismantled into a pile of parts by him, and on the table was a small detector that had begun to take shape a little.

The fat man laid his hands on the side, obeying Shi Gaofei's command, and put together a small piece of the piece.

When he saw Lao Tian come back, looking at the black sè mud stains on Lao Tian's face, as well as the tear stains in the corners of his eyes, the fat man was a little surprised, he wanted to ask something, but Lao Tian had already walked into the bathroom quickly.

"Shh

Shi Gaofei grabbed the fat man's arm and stopped him from speaking.

"Don't ask, and don't mess with him." Shi Gaofei lowered his voice and smiled: "Little fat man, you are still young, you don't understand." When a man is in tears, it is usually when he is at his lowest, and at this time, like a wounded beast, it is better not to provoke him! ”

Glancing at the fat man who was still a little ignorant, Shi Gaofei patted him on the shoulder: "Go get something to eat, the one surnamed Tian has been out for a long time, and he must not have eaten." ”

The fat man walked out in a daze, and when Lao Tian came out of the bathroom, the black mud and tears on his face had been washed away, and he looked at Shi Gaofei alone in the room, Lao Tian walked over and sat opposite Shi Gaofei.

"Exactly. Now it's just the two of us, and I have a word to say to you. ”

Lao Tian's god gradually became fierce, staring at Shi Gaofei's eyes, and there was even a trace of murder in his eyes at this moment!

"I don't know how you found out about that! I don't know how you learned this secret of mine. Lao Tian's tone was cold: "But I hope you'd better keep this secret!" Better keep your mouth shut! I don't want this to leak out of your mouth. Otherwise...... We've known each other for a long time, and I've never liked killing acquaintances I know! Because I've lived so long, I don't know many old acquaintances in this world anymore - so, don't force me to do things I don't want to do, you know? ”

Shi Gaofei looked into Lao Tian's eyes, although he was shrouded in a thick murderous aura, but this old madman did not have the slightest fear, he even smiled, and smiled very easily. However, he still stood up, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, as you wish, Your Excellency General Tian." ”

“…… Thank you. Lao Tian said lightly.

Then, Lao Tian suddenly frowned, and listened to the movement outside.

After a while, I heard messy footsteps outside, the door was slammed open, and the fat man walked in front with a strange face, and the fat man walked in closely, and it was Zhurong Gonggong and his wife, as well as Xu Ershao, Cabbage, Yan Yan, and the old madman Prince.

"Why are you here?" Lao Tian frowned and stood up.

"Do you need to ask?" Shi Gaofei leaned there and stretched: "This question can be figured out by thinking about it with your ass." Although we didn't inform them, our little dead fat man, who had a crush on that blue-blooded girl, of course secretly reported the news. Alas......"

Zhu Rong and Gonggong came in and gave Lao Tian a warm hug, Lao Tian's god was a little helpless, but Zhu Rong had already gone to bed with a big grin, and several young guys were standing aside with some restraint.

"Except for Champagne and Lin San who stayed in Shanghai and took care of the peacock who wanted to commit suicide...... Everybody's coming. Zhu Rong laughed.
