Ten years later...

In winter, the scenery on the side of the road is nothing to see, the original lush trees have withered, and a slightly chubby little doll walks in the bleak cold wind with a hoe on her back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking to the front of Blue Sky Town, the little white doll passed by the big tree on the side of the street and walked straight towards a house at the entrance of the town. Then he opened his chubby little mouth, revealing a child's little evil but a little immature smile.

"Old man, I'm back!"

The little doll walked into the yard, put down the hoe, and eagerly picked up the artemisia grass piled up outside the fence and ran into the pigsty.

On the stone bench in the courtyard sat an old man with white hair, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, and the old man's eyes were full of wrinkles, and the eyeballs had already been submerged in the waves, as if he had to struggle hard to let them be exposed.

"Well, you're pretty much done with the farm work, aren't you?" The old man asked unhurriedly.

"Don't worry, old man, it's a trivial matter, I have cut all the snow from the crops in that field to make sure they don't freeze to death." Chengkong replied with artemisia grass in one hand and a pig's head in the other. The smell of pig is really not good, but Chengkong is used to it.

"Xiaobai, you've eaten too much, go ahead!" Chengkong soon spotted an extraordinarily strong pig and slapped it with the artemisia grass in his hand to drive it away. However, the pig named Xiaobai was not only disobedient, it thought that Chengkong was still playing with it, and a pig's mouth bit the artemisia grass in Chengkong's hand.

"Let go, you dead fat pig, bite again, and I'll eat you!" Glaring at the big white pig with an expressionless face, seeing that Xiaobai was still biting tightly and not letting go, Chengkong, who was angry, simply threw all the artemisia grass into the trough, and kicked Xiaobai angrily.

"Hahahaha, empty child, don't make trouble, wash your hands, it's time to eat." With a smile on his face, the old man on the side brought out vegetables from the house, held a pipe in his mouth, and said facing the position of the pigsty.

This old man is naturally the old man Zhan ten years ago, now he has gone through ten years of wind and frost, and the whole person has aged a circle, but his body is also healthy, he has not had any serious illness, since the year after his wife's death, he also learned to smoke, and his life is comfortable.

But right now, it's been ten years and he has completed his long-cherished wish, and he has also experienced the atmosphere of having a child at home, but after a long time, the child is older, so it is not a way to drag it out like this, he has been decadent all his life, but this child can not be delayed, he has been decadent all his life, and he can't follow his child in the mountains all his life.

A few days ago, there was news from the town that the Blue Spirit Sect had accepted disciples, and the old man Zhan had been restless for the past few days, remembering the words of the mysterious old man on that night five years ago.

"Eh" looked at Chengkong, who had washed his little hands and walked slowly from the pigsty, and Zhan Laohan was in a trance in his heart.

"Grandpa, grandpa, what's wrong with you, how do you look at your preoccupied look." Chengkong found that the old man Zhan's expression was a little weird, and couldn't help asking.

"Oh! Nothing, nothing. Zhan Laohan sat down, sighed again, the smile on his face gradually converged, and finally spoke: "Empty, uh..."

"Well, what's wrong." Cheng Kong blinked his eyes and stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth full of doubts, in the past ten years, his big eyes have not changed much, they are still so bright and clear, and his eyelashes are still so long.

"What about me, over the years, I have saved a sum of money for you, and in a few days the Blue Spirit Sect will start accepting students, so, I think..."The old man said one by one, and he didn't finish his words yet.

"No, I'm going to accompany my grandfather." Although Chengkong was still nibbling on steamed buns, his tone was firm and unquestionable.

"Eh, Chengkong, grandpa is sorry for you, he didn't take good care of you and give you a happy home, three years old, you were already going out to do farm work when you were only three years old, perhaps, if I didn't bring you back then, your family found you, and your life wouldn't be like this." Zhan Laohan seemed to recall the past, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt ashamed of Chengkong. Ten years ago, since the first two years after the death of his wife, he lived a day without a day's life, often slept when he was full, ate when he slept enough, and was only responsible for Xiao Chengkong's food and accommodation every day, and used up all the savings saved in previous years, but it is strange to say that this Xiao Chengkong is really different from ordinary children, he can walk at the age of one, he doesn't need to drink milk, he doesn't get sick, and what's even stranger is that he can do housework at the age of three, and he is extremely sensible. Don't look at him as immature, in fact, he is already a veteran farmer.

"Why are you talking about this, if it weren't for you, I would have starved to death on the mountain, what kind of family, on the mountain, whose parents would throw their children over there." Cheng Kong's eyes widened, and his small hand tightly held the hand that Zhan Lao Han put on his lap.

"Chengkong, you have such a chance to get ahead in your life, if you miss it, there will be no more, I have been mediocre all my life, I don't want to delay your life because of me, so that even if I enter the Nine Springs in the future, it will be difficult to feel at ease!" opened the chatterbox, Zhan Laohan simply revealed his heart, maybe Zhan Laohan was a little sad, or maybe Zhan Laohan was a little reluctant, he tilted his head sideways, his eyes were full of beads, full of affection: "You are born with extraordinary talents, accompanied by Tianhuo and Miaoyin in the world, one year old can walk and talk, three years old is able to work in the field, all of the above, it means that you will be an extraordinary person in the future, if I keep you by my side because of my own selfish desires, I am really inferior to a beast." “

"Grandpa!" Chengkong was a little anxious, for fear that he would really "drive him away", with a pleading look on his face.

Zhan Laohan was afraid that he would look at this baby, his heart softened, and he broke the determination he had finally made up, and stood up with his head horizontally.

"Think about it, this time, I've already decided, that's it, listen to me." Zhan Laohan blew his nose, walked into the house without looking back, snapped the door shut, leaving Zhan Chengkong sitting alone on the stone chair, looking at the lunch in front of him, Chengkong had no intention of touching it again, in the face of his grandfather's sudden change of attitude, Chengkong didn't know what to do just quietly came to the door, just stood there like this, his charming big eyes were full of sadness.

The old man in the room was leaning against the door at the moment, holding a handful of bitter tears, tilting his head and breathing with his mouth open, afraid that he would choke out and be heard by Chengkong. Zhan Laohan was lonely all his life, not good at flowing into his true temperament to outsiders, he met his wife at the age of 20, and he was in love with each other all his life, and after 40 years, he had to become empty, because his wife left, depressed for three years, and Chengkong was always by his side, helping him get through the difficulties.

For a lifetime, it can be said that what Zhan Laohan really cares about is the two of them, and now that his wife has already passed away, Zhan Laohan doesn't want to have someone around him, but he knows that he can't do this, he must be ruthless and let Chengkong leave from his side, only by leaving himself and leaving Blue Sky Town, he can find his own achievements, and he will not live a mediocre life in this mountain like himself.

"Kid, don't blame grandpa for being ruthless." After closing his eyes for a long time, the old man spit out these words.
