Soon after Narcissus worked, he became the counter team leader in the department store, and because of his excellent work, he was transferred to the Commercial Bureau as a deputy section chief. Narcissus and Xingming are classmates who have been studying from elementary school to high school, Xingming always feels that he is a stain in the eyes of teachers and classmates because of his mother Bai Li, he has always been silent in school, he doesn't like to play with his classmates, and sometimes he is bullied by his classmates and swallows his anger, but Narcissus can't see it, and often stands up for Xingming.

"Hey, Xingming, I have also been transferred to the Commercial Bureau, and we will be colleagues in the same unit in the future." Narcissus said with a smile.

"Oh." Xingming agreed in a low voice.

"Why are you always so cold, not welcome?" Narcissus said deliberately.

"No, no, no." Xingming didn't know what to say for a while.

"That's good, if you encounter difficulties in your work in the future, you have to help me, and you are not allowed to stand idly by." Narcissus said mischievously.

"Okay." Xingming agreed.

"Then I'll go up first, goodbye." Narcissus trotted all the way upstairs.

Because Narcissus and Xingming are in the same department, the two have more opportunities to come into contact at work. After the chaos is rectified, everything in the ancient city needs to be lifted, especially the business system is facing many thorny problems that need to be solved urgently, Narcissus often takes the initiative to come out of his office to discuss work with Xingming and other colleagues in the department, and Xingming if he sees other colleagues present, he is often reluctant to say more, if other comrades are not there, just Narcissus alone, Xingming will be very serious to tell Narcissus his own ideas, take the initiative to help Narcissus give advice, Narcissus gets Xingming's inspiration, Then carefully study and ponder, and then carefully formulate various plans and measures, and the materials often get the approval of the leaders, at this time Narcissus will not forget to add a sentence "There is Wu Xingming's credit", which made the leaders feel surprised for a while, because in the impression of the leaders, Xingming is really ordinary in the commercial bureau, never committed, but never outstanding.

After getting off work that afternoon, colleagues closed the door one after another and walked out of the unit, Xingming also packed up the things on the table, habitually looked up at Narcissus's office, and saw that Narcissus was still holding on to the table to write materials, Xingming was inconvenient to disturb her, so he walked out of the office first to go home, and when Xingming walked to the gate of the Commercial Bureau, he suddenly heard a "fire!" Xingming looked back, only to see smoke billowing from a corner of the office building of the Commercial Bureau, several colleagues ran out of the office building in a panic, Xingming stopped and looked carefully, did not see Narcissus come out, so he raised his feet and ran towards the office building, some colleagues desperately called him back, saying that it was dangerous inside, but Xingming didn't say a word, three steps and two steps quickly climbed up the stairs, and ran directly towards Narcissus's office, shouting while running:

"Narcissus, Narcissus."

"Xingming, I'm here." Narcissus agreed loudly.

Xingming saw that Narcissus was holding a bunch of materials in his hand, and the satchel he was carrying when he went out in a panic was hung by the doorknob, and he couldn't free his hand to untie it, and the thick and pungent smoke was quickly surrounding Narcissus, and when Xingming hurriedly ran over, his eyes couldn't see the location of the doorknob clearly, and he only felt that tears were about to be smoked out.

"Xingming, help me untie my bag." Narcissus choked on tears from the smoke and said.

Xingming squatted down and squinted his eyes and finally found the location of the doorknob, and took off the shoulder bag strap on Narcissus's back from the doorknob, at this time the smoke had covered the aisle and the stairs, and there was a fire behind him, Xingming couldn't say anything, and supported Narcissus with his arm, so that his body blocked the heat wave that came with the smoke for Narcissus, the two of them bowed down and walked towards the position of the staircase, because they couldn't see the stairs clearly, the two had to go downstairs slowly with their memories, coughing all the way, Narcissus was choked by the smoke and couldn't support it, Her eyes were black, the information in her hand was scattered on the ground, and the whole person fainted, Xingming simply carried her on her back, walked down the stairs with difficulty, and rushed out of the office building.

Narcissus has been in a coma in the hospital, hearing the news rushed to Lingzhi to stay at the bedside of Narcissus, anxious, kept asking the doctor if Narcissus will be in danger, the doctor told her that it was mainly carbon dioxide poisoning, need to be hospitalized for observation, the leaders of the Commercial Bureau also comforted Lingzhi not to worry.

"I'm such a granddaughter, she must not leave!" Lingzhi said crying.

"Granny Narcissus, don't worry, your old man, Narcissus will be fine." The leaders comforted Lingzhi and said.

"Where did this fire come from? How did it burn all at once? Lingzhi couldn't help but ask.

"It was accidentally caused by someone who lives in the office building, but fortunately, after work, Narcissus wanted to rescue some materials, so he choked on the smoke." A leader said.

"This kid is going to work and die." Lingzhi sighed.

After Xingming asked the doctor to bandage a little in the treatment room, he hurriedly came to the emergency room, quietly pushed the door open, and saw a large group of people surrounding the unit inside, Narcissus's mother-in-law Lingzhi was anxious, Xingming thought about it and retreated, silently walking home alone.

The next day, Narcissus finally woke up, Lingzhi's hanging heart finally let go, ecstatic called the doctor to give Narcissus a look, the doctor told Lingzhi Narcissus is out of danger, but still needs to be hospitalized for a few more days, Lingzhi nodded incessantly, turned around and looked at Narcissus lovingly and said:

"You kid, you really scared your mother-in-law, tell your mother-in-law, what do you want to eat?"

"Mother-in-law, I'm thirsty, give me some water to drink." Narcissus said weakly.

"Hey, I'll pour it for you." Lingzhi got up as he spoke, picked up the thermos, opened the lid, poured half a cup of water into the cup, and then kept blowing with his mouth for a while, and tried it again before feeding it to Narcissus.

Narcissus drank some water and continued to lie down, his eyes looked around, asking Lingzhi how he got into the hospital, Lingzhi relied on telling her that a colleague in the unit carried her to the hospital, Narcissus tried hard to recall yesterday's scene, slowly thought of Xingming, looked left and right, and said hesitantly:

"Mother-in-law, why didn't you see Xingming? What's wrong with Xingming? ”

"Which Xingming? Mother-in-law doesn't know. Lingzhi asked.

"That's, that's it, it's Xingming in our unit, he saved me yesterday, if he hadn't arrived in time, I might not have been able to escape." Narcissus said anxiously.

"When I came here yesterday, I only saw the leader of your commercial bureau and a group of people here." Lingzhi said blankly.

"He must have left quietly, I know his character, he never likes to do things quietly." Narcissus muttered.

The next day, Xingming bought some fruit and came to the hospital, found a nurse, and asked her to bring the fruit in to Narcissus, the female nurse was so strange, asked him why he didn't send it in by himself, Xingming tugged at it, and begged the female nurse to be sure to send it in, and don't tell them who sent the fruit, the female nurse smiled, guessed that they must be in love, took the fruit and walked in, Xingming stood outside the door and watched the female nurse go in for a while, before turning to leave.

Not long after Narcissus was discharged from the hospital, he fell in love with Xingming, who believed that Xingming could help himself in times of crisis, sacrifice himself to save others, and was a person worthy of trust in his life. And Xingming's love for Narcissus has always been cherished in his heart, never dared to boldly confess to Narcissus, whenever he saw Narcissus in trouble, he always took the initiative to stand up for her and give her ideas, when he saw Narcissus smiling, Xingming had indescribable joy in his heart.

But when Lingzhi knew that Xingming was Bai Li's son, the resentment in his heart suddenly surged into his heart, especially when he thought of Bai Li's persecution of Chen Gang and Yulan, tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes, and he categorically opposed the love between the two, no matter how Narcissus explained, it was useless. Lingzhi put down cruel words to Narcissus: If you get along with him, you should not have me as a mother-in-law, and don't forget how your father and your mother died unjustly.

Looking at Lingzhi like this, for a while let Narcissus be in a dilemma, his parents who have not seen him since he was born died because of the tragic departure of the catastrophe, Narcissus does not know how many times he has heard Lingzhi talk about since he was a child, but she has a lively and cheerful temperament She did not hold this hatred in her heart, when she was in middle school, she knew from her teachers and classmates that Xingming was the son of Bai Li, who persecuted her parents, she first just looked at Xingming seriously, and saw that Xingming avoided in a panic every time he met him, and his heart was uneasy. Because Xingming was blindly timid and afraid of things among his classmates, he was often bullied by some classmates, which made Narcissus very unacceptable, so he took the initiative to stand up for Xingming's grievances, Narcissus's move made the teacher and classmates puzzled, especially Xingming never thought of it, because he was full of gratitude to Narcissus.

After the two fell in love, Xingming vowed to do everything he could to make Narcissus happy, but he didn't expect to be strongly opposed by Lingzhi, in fact, this was also what Xingming had expected in his heart, but he didn't expect Narcissus's mother-in-law to be so resolute, and there was no room for negotiation at all. Xingming deeply complained in his heart about the debts his mother had made to the Narcissus family in the past, but now he had to bear all this. Seeing that Narcissus could not persuade Lingzhi, Xingming was extremely sentimental in his heart, knowing that there was no hope between the two of them in this life, after thinking about it, he also rejected Narcissus, and worked hard to sign up for the adult college entrance examination, and was admitted to the school of architecture that he had always liked in the past, and left the ancient city, and after graduating from university, he was left to work in the construction planning and design department of the provincial capital.

Narcissus first comforted Xingming, allowing her to do more work on Ganoderma lucidum, but seeing Xingming took the initiative to break up with himself, he didn't expect Xingming to be so ruthless, and fell into the pain of falling out of love for a while, and was depressed, and then under the repeated guidance of Lingzhi, he gradually walked out of the shadow of broken love, re-energized, and threw himself into his work.

In order to further expand the tourism economy of the ancient city and carry forward the history and culture of the ancient city, the higher authorities require the comprehensive development of the ancient city and build the ancient city into a characteristic scenic spot county with cultural tourism. Narcissus, the then county magistrate, quickly organized relevant departments to conduct a large number of historical research and data collection, and after several consultations, formulated a complete set of ancient city renovation plans, and went to the provincial capital to find the construction department to report and demonstrate together with the leaders of the county development and reform bureau, tourism bureau and other departments, and strive for the support of the urban reconstruction project.

At the demonstration meeting, Narcissus impassionedly introduced the current situation of the ancient city, the long and heavy history and culture and the renovation of the ancient city to the leading experts in detail, which was recognized by most of the leading experts, but a few experts at the meeting questioned that many of the ideas and designs of Narcissus still have the same imitation in the transformation of small towns, and the ideas are not broad enough to highlight the thick historical and cultural characteristics of the ancient city. It is worried that after the transformation of the ancient city, it is easy to follow in the footsteps of other tourist attractions and become a flip board for the transformation of ordinary small towns. Hearing such comments from some experts, Narcissus frowned tightly and fell into deep contemplation.

After the demonstration meeting, watching the leaders and experts leave the venue one after another, Narcissus was a little depressed, and slowly stood up to pack up the documents, and the comrades who came with Narcissus saw that the mood of the county magistrate was not high, and they were not good to say anything, just stood far away and waited for her to go back together, Narcissus lifted the briefcase and was about to walk towards the door of the venue, when a person stood up from the right corner of the venue and walked straight towards Narcissus.

"County Magistrate Narcissus, can you re-demonstrate your plan to me?"

Narcissus stopped, turned her head to look, and saw a middle-aged man walking towards her confidently, Narcissus stroked her short hair with her hands, looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised for a while, because it was none other than Xingming who walked towards her.

"It's you, Xingming." Narcissus said happily.

"I heard that today is to demonstrate the renovation plan of our ancient city, so I took the time to come over to participate in the audit, to be honest, your overall ideas and ideas are still good, but too rigid in the city to carry out renovation, and the characteristics are not prominent. For example, if a tourist comes to the ancient city and can complete the ancient city in only one or two hours, then the tourist will immediately rush to the road. As a tourist attraction, it is to let tourists live with peace of mind, let them have fun and linger in different ways, as long as they think of the ancient city next time, they want to come again, and at the same time attract their own relatives and friends to come over. This is the best transformation plan, and we must not follow in the footsteps of others. Xingming said calmly.

Xingming's words suddenly rekindled the passion of Narcissus and his party, Narcissus couldn't help but pull Xingming, and the group happily went straight to the hotel restaurant where they lived, everyone sat Xingming in the middle, and discussed every detail of the ancient city renovation plan with great interest, Xingming put what he had learned and seen in recent years without reservation and told out, because of Xingming's guidance and inspiration, Narcissus and his party saw their own gap, so they decided to go back, and then carefully revise the plan again, He said that he must come up with a plan that satisfies the leaders and experts and has the characteristics of the ancient city, and then go to the provincial capital to demonstrate.

After dinner, Narcissus took the initiative to invite Xingming to sit in the hotel's coffee room, and the two of them each asked for a cup of coffee.

"After you were admitted to university, why did you say goodbye to me? And they haven't been in touch with me. Narcissus asked.

"Do you need to ask? It's impossible between us. Xingming's passion for talking about plans during dinner suddenly subsided.

"If you don't fight for it, how do you know it won't work?" Narcissus said.

"If I were you, I wouldn't agree, I can't pay off the sins my mother made in the ancient city in my life, and I don't want to see the people in the ancient city pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks about me, so after thinking about it, I think it's better to leave." Xingming said.

"Xingming, the grievances of the previous generation should not be borne by our next generation, we have said that we must unite and look forward, if our generation is always entangled in the past grievances and grievances, how can we lead the villagers to develop the economic construction of our ancient city?" Narcissus said.

The two took a sip of coffee silently, looked at each other and did not speak, and in the end it was Narcissus who broke the silence between the two.

"Are you married?" Narcissus asked softly.

"No, what about you?" Xingming asked rhetorically.

"I don't have time to think about it, and I don't want to think about it now." Narcissus stirs the coffee with a spoon.

There was silence again, Xingming glanced at Narcissus, and stopped talking, Narcissus looked at his watch and said:

"It's getting late, you can go back. If we can get your guidance today, our trip to the provincial capital is not in vain. ”

"Alright then, call me next time you need me." Xingming said helplessly.

After returning to the ancient city, Narcissus immediately arranged for the relevant departments to re-inspect, collect evidence, plan, etc., held special meetings for many times to study, completely abandoned the old transformation plan, and stood in the collection of mountains, water, bridges, alleys, courtyards, and streets as a whole, including Qinglong Cave, Tieshan Creek, Heping Village, Longtou Mountain, etc., to visit the ancient houses, ancient lanes, ancient wharves and other thick historical culture, and launched the river landscape of the ancient city, riverside trails, ancient city night view and other tourism brands, revival the water culture of the ancient city, and create a set of sightseeing, leisure, The resort is an important place for cultural tourism.

Due to the busy work, Narcissus came home every day close to the night, Narcissus was afraid of affecting the mother-in-law Lingzhi rest, always gently pushed open the door, and then gently closed, when passing in front of the mother-in-law's door, quietly pushed open the door to see, but all this could not escape the eyes and ears of Lingzhi alert.

"It's back, it's so late again." Lingzhi said with his eyes closed.

"Mother-in-law, tell you not to wait for me, you always don't listen." Narcissus said helplessly.

"Alas, since you became the county magistrate, where do you remember my mother-in-law." Lingzhi said deliberately.

"Look at your old age, here you go again. Okay, well, when I'm done with this, I'll take you out for a walk. Narcissus said.

"I don't want to go anywhere, as long as you get married as soon as possible, let me hold my great-grandson, and I'll be satisfied." Lingzhi said.

Narcissus shook his head with a wry smile, pulled the quilt for Lingzhi, sat on the edge of the bed and leaned his head on the head of the bed, patted the quilt gently, and coaxed Lingzhi to fall asleep slowly.

A few months later, Narcissus rushed to the provincial capital again with the transformation plan, this time Narcissus learned the lesson of the last time, first took someone to find Xingming, let Xingming help check first, and read the whole plan from beginning to end, Xingming was relatively calm at first, who knew that the more he looked back, the more excited he felt, because the transformation plan made this time had exceeded his imagination, after reading it, he couldn't help but praise Narcissus, etc., and at the same time put forward suggestions for improvement of several deficiencies in the plan, Narcissus immediately instructed the relevant entourage to immediately start revising. The next day, when Narcissus showed the revised plan to the relevant leading experts again, it was successfully approved by a unanimous vote, and Narcissus was very excited, and as soon as the argument was over, he hurried to Xingming.

"Xingming, I really want to thank you, if it weren't for your help to give us guidance, things might not have gone so smoothly." Narcissus said happily.

"Yes, it should be my wish to renovate the ancient city and build my hometown more beautiful." Xingming said.

"I have now seen the appearance of the ancient city after the renovation in a trance, during the day it is the integration of mountains, water and city, like a bright pearl, and at night it is the light, scenery and love are intertwined, like a paradise on earth." Narcissus said wistfully.

"With a county magistrate like you leading everyone to work hard, I believe that the ancient city will definitely change its old appearance." Xingming said sincerely.

"Why don't you keep getting married?" Narcissus asked hesitantly.

"Because I can't let go of my heart." Xingming looked into the distance and replied.

"Since you can't let it go, let's come back." Narcissus said affectionately.

"Can the ancient city still accept me? Will your family accept me? Xingming said sadly.

"As long as you love the ancient city, how can the ancient city not accept you; As for my mother-in-law, she is old, and she can't turn this corner for a while, as long as you are sincere, her old man will change sooner or later, let's do work for her together, okay? Narcissus looked at Xingming eagerly, and Xingming finally opened his arms and took Narcissus into his arms.

Soon, Xingming submitted an application for transfer to the unit, and took the initiative to return to his hometown to work, and after getting the consent, Xingming bid farewell to the provincial capital and returned to the ancient city that he thought about day and night, and was arranged to engage in planning and design and the implementation of the ancient city renovation project in the county construction bureau.

On this day, Narcissus accompanied Xingming to Xingming's mother Bai Li's grave, looking at Bai Li's grave, Narcissus couldn't understand why this mother was cruelly persecuting her parents, and she was a good friend with her mother or a classmate who had been together since elementary school.

After her sentencing, her mother was sent to a women's prison and was once sent to a psychiatric hospital for confusion. Later, my mother offered to divorce my father while in prison, just because she didn't want us to be implicated by her. Xingming said to Narcissus after kowtowing.

"What about your father?" Narcissus asked in a low voice.

"After my father buried my mother here, he left the ancient city and went south with my uncle and aunt." Xingming said.

"Xingming, if you're sad, just cry, don't keep it in your heart." Narcissus comforted Xingmingdao.

"It's all liberated, and this is also my mother's best home." Xingming said in a low voice.

"Xingming, let us completely put down the burden in our hearts, let's work hard together, build the ancient city beautifully, and let our fathers' souls in heaven be comforted." Narcissus said as he shook Xingming's hand.

In order to give her mother-in-law Lingzhi a happy 80th birthday, Narcissus deliberately got home from work early, rolled up her sleeves and was busy in the kitchen with the little nanny, Lingzhi sat in front of the dresser in the house, holding a comb and slowly combing her full head of white hair, falling into contemplation, the handkerchief on the table fell to the ground, she bent down to pick it up and slowly looked closely, uncle, Shengchang, Osmanthus, Hong Shun, Fengying, Yoshino Taro, etc. appeared in front of her eyes one by one, and a tear quietly fell on the handkerchief.

After a sumptuous meal was ready, Narcissus came into the house and helped Lingzhi out, Lingzhi put on the new clothes that Narcissus bought for her, and the little nanny helped to put Lingzhi on the chair and sit down, and kept praising the old lady for being extra beautiful today, Lingzhi smiled, and her heart blossomed.

"Auntie, where's the birthday cake? Or I'll buy it on the street. The little nanny said.

"No, I'll send it later." Narcissus said with a smile.

Narcissus poured wine while looking out of the door, after a while, Xingming walked in with flowers in one hand and birthday cake in the other, Lingzhi saw Xingming come in, the smile on his face stiffened for a while, and with a displeased expression, Xingming put down the birthday cake, walked in front of Lingzhi, knelt down on both knees, offered flowers with both hands, and said sincerely:

"Mother-in-law, Xingming wishes you a happy birthday! I wish you a long and healthy life! ”

Lingzhi turned his face to Narcissus and asked:

"Why is he here?"

"Mother-in-law, Xingming was invited by me. You always listen to me say that Xingming's mother did something sorry for my parents in the past, but that was the grievance of the previous generation, and we can't be asked to bear it by the next generation. Mother-in-law, Xingming and I love each other sincerely, and I think you also want me to be happy. Xingming would rather give up his job in the provincial city and come back to build his hometown with me for the sake of me. Xingming has always felt inferior in front of others because of his mother's affairs since he was a child, and we can't pay attention to the distress in our hearts, but we shouldn't isolate him, blame him, or even look down on him, because the fault is not his! Xingming has the ability and talent, is a rare talent in our ancient city, he has made a great contribution to the planning and transformation of our ancient city, and he is my good helper in the work, he has not yet started a family because of me. Mother-in-law, for my sake, for my parents' sake, accept him. Narcissus knelt down in front of Lingzhi as he spoke.

"Mother-in-law, I will pay back the sins that my mother has done to you and your family, as long as you don't hate me and don't dislike me, I will do my best to take care of Narcissus, and serve you well with Narcissus, so that you can live out your old age in peace and no longer go through any hardships." Xingming knelt beside Narcissus and cried.

Lingzhi looked at Narcissus, then at Xingming, gritted his teeth and sighed long:

"You two get up, since you two have to be together, I can't stop you."

"Mother-in-law." Narcissus shouted happily with Xingming.

Soon, Narcissus and Xingming received a marriage certificate together, Narcissus hindered his status as the county magistrate, and Xingming discussed not to hold a marriage ceremony, not to hold a wedding wine, the two simply arranged a hearty meal at home, and Ganoderma lucidum and the little nanny happily toasted together, and then when they went to work the next day, they bought some candy and sent it to their colleagues in the unit, so that everyone could share their joy. Lingzhi first objected to them being too simple and sloppy, but because he was too old to show up, he had to count them down all day long, and Narcissus and Xingming were nagging by her, and the two of them happily commuted to work together every day, doing housework together, and serving Lingzhi considerately and thoughtfully, so that Lingzhi couldn't be angry, so after a long time, they had to go. Narcissus and Xingming secretly snickered at each other every day, teasing Lingzhi like a child, and seeing them go in and out together every day, talking and laughing, loving each other, Lingzhi had to give up.

The ancient city renovation project finally officially started with the efforts of Narcissus, on the platform of the simple launching ceremony, Narcissus delivered a brief speech on behalf of the county government, and then cut the ribbon for the groundbreaking ceremony with the relevant leaders, for a time firecrackers rang out, workers stationed at the site to carry out excavation, trucks, trucks shuttled in and out, a busy scene.

Narcissus and the relevant leaders while walking while emphasizing the key points of the transformation, at this time a secretary walked into Narcissus, whispered to Narcissus for a while, Narcissus listened, immediately said goodbye to everyone, and then got in the car and rushed back to the county government's own office, then only to see the head of the Propaganda Department of the county party committee with two guests walked in.

"The county magistrate, this is a guest from Japan, and this is the translator, this is our Narcissus county magistrate." The Minister of the Propaganda Department introduced.

"Hello, welcome, please be seated." Narcissus greeted warmly.

"County magistrate, my surname is Ma, this Japanese guest is called Yoshino Taro, we used to stay together in the ancient city's 'Peace Village', this time we made a special trip to take a look, but we encountered the 'Peace Village' closed, saying that it was going to be repaired, and we were not allowed to go in, so I had to find you here, you see the same, can you let us go in and see?" Ma Translator said to Narcissus.

"Yes, you are so old, and you have come so far and wide, nothing can make you go home empty-handed. In this case, I will explain it to you, and let them arrange it for you. Narcissus said with a smile.

Yoshino Taro turned around and muttered to the Ma translator for a while, and the Ma translator translated with a smile:

"Yoshino Taro said that he came here this time, and he also wanted to inquire about two people, one is called Lingzhi and the other is called Hong Shun, I wonder if the county magistrate can help with this?"

"Ahh Narcissus was taken aback.

"What's wrong? County magistrate. Ma asked the translator.

"You have found the right person, Lingzhi is my mother-in-law, Hong Shun is my grandfather, he has passed away." Narcissus said.

"Ahh I really can't imagine that you are the granddaughter of Lingzhi, so how is Lingzhi now? Ma asked the translator.

"She's a good old man, but she's old and rarely goes out." Narcissus replied with a smile.

So Narcissus enthusiastically told the two old people about the daily life of Lingzhi now, saying that the two old people were itching and couldn't see Lingzhi immediately, and recounted the separation over the years. Narcissus stood up and walked with them to their home, pointing to the temporary scaffolding on both sides of the street, telling the two old men about the renovation of the ancient city, hoping that the next time they came to the ancient city, they would definitely see a new, charming, and dreamy water town, and the two old men nodded their heads from time to time in praise.

Narcissus stretched out her hand to push open the door, and the little nanny hurriedly greeted her.

"Go and call your mother-in-law out, we have a distinguished guest at home today." Narcissus said to the babysitter.

The little nanny turned around and trotted all the way into the house, and walked out with Lingzhi in her arms, Lingzhi squinted her eyes and looked at it while walking, and didn't recognize who it was for a while, Ma Translator and Yoshino Taro saw Lingzhi, and hurriedly stepped forward a few times, took Lingzhi's hand and said:

"Lingzhi, I'm Ma Translator, and this is Taro Yoshino." Translator Ma said loudly.

"Hey." Taro Yoshino gave a salute to Lingzhi.

"God, it's you, I thought I'd never see you again in my life." Lingzhi said happily holding their hands.

"Yes, God really has eyes, so that the three of us can still meet in the ancient city." Translator Ma said with a smile.

"I'm so glad I'm going to see you again in my life." Lingzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly beckoned the two of them into the house, the three of them sat down around the table, the little nanny hurriedly went over to bring tea and pour water, Narcissus turned to the propaganda ministers and said:

"You guys go back first, I have to cook for these three old friends now, if you go back and see Xingming, help me bring a message and let him come back to help quickly."

The Minister of Propaganda and his entourage nodded with a smile, turned around and went back, after a while, they saw Xingming hurrying back, knowing what happened, they immediately got busy with Narcissus, the two of them went in and out, washed and cut, and after being busy for a while, they finally put a sumptuous family banquet in the courtyard, after all preparations were in order, Narcissus and Xingming walked into the house, helped the three old people out and sat down, and stood to help them pour wine into the wine glass, and then Narcissus and Xingming and the little nanny also sat down around the table, Narcissus raised his glass and toasted the three old men.

"Mother-in-law, two uncles, I and Xingming toast you together, you can come to my house today, not only to make my mother-in-law happy, but also to make our family happy, I really didn't expect that you still have such an inseparable friendship in the past, come, this first glass of wine to toast your health." Narcissus said with a smile.

So everyone drank the wine in the glass together, and Xingming hurriedly stood up and helped them pour the wine one by one.

"Mother-in-law, it's all because you have always hidden it from us, and never told us that you would have foreign friends." Narcissus deliberately said this to Lingzhi.

"You girl, I'm busy with your work every day, and I want to spend so little time with you, and you still complain about me." Lingzhi said.

"Lingzhi, what about the magnolia that was delivered by Taro Yoshino?" Ma asked as he picked up the dishes.

"Alas, she didn't catch up with this good time, she was persecuted for her sports a few years ago, and her son-in-law passed away, leaving me only this granddaughter." Lingzhi said sadly for a while.

"Oh, it turns out that the county magistrate is Yulan's daughter, no wonder I feel a little familiar when we meet today." Ma Translator said sincerely, and turned around to translate to Taro Yoshino.

"It's rare to be happy today, let's not talk about those sad things, come, let's have a drink with the three of us." Lingzhi raised his glass and proposed.

The three old men happily raised their wine glasses and drank happily.

"Yoshino, after you parted from the shelter back then, there was no news of you, and then Ma Yi and they also left, how did you two get together later?" Lingzhi asked.

"Lingzhi, you don't know, after Yoshino Taro went to the front line, he behaved very bravely, shouting propaganda to the Japanese army many times regardless of personal danger, and once he was injured by a bullet in the arm, and the shouting microphone in his hand also fell to the ground." Ma Yi introduced.

"Ahh Let me see if those Japanese soldiers will shoot their own compatriots too! Lingzhi said as he pulled open the sleeve of Taro Yoshino's coat, and a gunshot wound was clearly visible, and Taro Yoshino smiled in a friendly way, patting his chest with his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

"Ma Yiyi, where did you go afterward?" Lingzhi turned to Ma Yi and asked.

"At that time, there were so few interpreters who could speak Japanese, so I was sent to the front line, and when I was escorting wounded prisoners of war to a field hospital, I met Taro Yoshino. Later, after Japan surrendered, for the sake of his safety, he asked him not to return to China for the time being, but who knew that this delay made him and his wife Fengying never see each other again. Ma Translator couldn't help but bow his head as he spoke.

"Ahh What's wrong with Fengying? Tell me quickly. Lingzhi urged.

"Fengying in Japan is not only restricted in personal freedom, even the purchase of food is also restricted, long-term malnutrition has caused her health to deteriorate more and more, Fengying originally thought that after Japan surrendered, she would be able to see Yoshino Taro soon, but she did not expect that Yoshino Taro was included in the death blacklist by the Japanese military because of his participation in the anti-war alliance and could not return to China for the time being, so he was disheartened and died of illness without hunger." Ma said as a translator.

The wine glass in Lingzhi's hand fell to the ground with a "clanging", Narcissus quickly asked the little nanny to pick it up and replace it with another one for Lingzhi, Lingzhi picked up the wine glass and slowly spilled the wine in the cup on the ground.

"They are all gone, you don't know, back then, Fengying originally loved Shengchang, I can see that although they are not destined to be together, Fengying has become our best friend. Later, it was Shengchang and Osmanthus who blocked the bullet for me, and Fengying and Hong Shun helped me out of that sad place, but they all went before me, leaving me alone in this world. Lingzhi sighed.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and Yoshino Taro communicated with Ma Yiyi, who translated to everyone:

Taro Yoshino asked where is Magnolia, who delivered the baby himself, now? He wanted to meet the beautiful little girl. ”

Lingzhi was speechless in pain for a while, and Narcissus quickly took over and said:

"My mom Magnolia and my dad have both passed away. Alas, let's stop talking about those sad things, today you three old people are rare to get together, you should be happy, come, Xingming and I respect you three old people again, I wish you a long and healthy life! Narcissus and Xingming raised their glasses and said.

"Yes, yes, yes, we should be happy, only if we live a healthy and happy life, they can be at peace underground." Ma said as a translator.

The next day, Narcissus and Xingming made a special trip to the "Peace Village" with the three old people, the management staff opened the gate, and Narcissus and Xingming carefully helped the three old people into the gate, and the specially invited docent led them to visit slowly.

Lingzhi remembered the scene of the first time he came to the "Peace Village" with Hong Shun, and walked up the stairs to the office on the second floor, where the tables, chairs and other items were placed as they were, and the narrator introduced the office situation of the year, only to see Yoshino Taro walk to the position of the year, pretending to undress, Ma Translator quickly reflected, and also ran to the position of the year to stand, Lingzhi saw that the two of them were still and motionless, and couldn't help but smile and join the performance of the two of them, making the other group of people confused by the second monk, and the commentator also stopped explaining, They all looked at the three of them curiously.

"What are you doing here?" Narcissus asked curiously.

"You don't know, when I came here with your grandfather for the first time, it was originally a good intention, but we were angry with a chief guard." Lingzhi said.

"Fortunately, the chief guard was immediately replaced, giving our Yoshino Taro and the prisoners of war a new lease of life." Ma said as a translator.

The more Yoshino Taro spoke, the more excited he became, and asked Ma to tell Narcissus that he would donate 100,000 yen to repair the "Peace Village", because this was his "place of rebirth" and "second hometown", and he would contact more prisoners of war to come back and see it after he returned, so that everyone would always remember "cherishing peace and opposing war".

The renovation of the ancient city is progressing very smoothly, the scaffolding built on both sides of the street in the city is gradually dismantled, and the viewing walks along both sides of the river embankment are also beginning to take shape, just when the renovation project gradually enters the ancient lanes of the city, the old house in the "Sifang Well" laneway has become a problem of transformation, the old house has changed hands several times, the house is old and in disrepair, coupled with the long-term "haunted" rumors and confusion, so that the construction party has taken the approach to avoid the old house, first transform other ancient lanes, after a few months have passed, All the renovation of the ancient lanes was basically completed, so the renovation of the old house became a prominent issue and was mentioned at the county magistrate's office meeting.

"This old house was destroyed by fire and turned into ruins, it is better to bulldoze it all and calm down the rumors of haunting." At the meeting, some comrades raised the issue.

"But this is private property after all, and if someone comes to the door to file a lawsuit one day, we will be passive." Another group of people made a different view.

"But who owns this house? Can you get a basis for that? A comrade said.

Watching everyone argue about this, Narcissus fell into deep thought, whether to keep the old mansion made her hesitate for a while, since the renovation of the ancient city, there is often no shortage of similar situations, but no one is as tricky as the old mansion, old, ownerless, and haunted, the gloomy gate is like a barrier to separate the two worlds, and the dust has sealed the long years in the old mansion. Narcissus felt that if the old mansion was not preserved, it would definitely be unreasonable, but if it was preserved, it would become a dead end in the ancient city, leaving flaws in the transformation of the ancient city.

Narcissus returned home with doubts, with a sad face, Xingming helped Lingzhi out and sat down, the little nanny skillfully placed the dishes and chopsticks to prepare for dinner, Lingzhi saw that Narcissus had been sitting silent, so he stared at her and asked:

"What's wrong with you? It's like losing your soul. ”

"It's nothing, mother-in-law, let's eat." Narcissus said with a wry smile.

"It's still about the old house, I've heard everyone's discussion these days." Xingming said.

"And what do you think about it? Let's hear it. Narcissus said to Xingming.

"I am in favor of retaining, first of all, this is a private property, and now it is a society that stresses the rule of law, and it must not be used casually, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, the retention I am talking about is not to let it sit as it is, but to hope to dig out the connotation inside through transformation, maybe there are some stories hidden in it? The development of it reflects the ancient laneway culture of the ancient city, which promotes the history and culture of the ancient city. Xingming said seriously.

"yes, I think so, but I just don't know how to find out?" Narcissus said.

"Let's mobilize everyone to look and search first, and you can always find some traces of spider silk." Xingming encouraged Narcissus and said.

Lingzhi saw that Narcissus and Xingming were only talking, but he couldn't interject, so he waited for them to finally stop before asking:

"Where are you talking about the old mansion?"

"It's the crooked door ramp in the 'square well', and the head of the household has not been found, which is about to affect the progress of the entire renovation project." Narcissus said.

Lingzhi heard Narcissus say this, his heart was stunned, the chopsticks in his hand couldn't help falling to the ground, the little nanny quickly picked it up, took it to the kitchen to change it again, Narcissus and Xingming saw Lingzhi's stunned appearance, couldn't help but stop, Narcissus asked carefully:

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Where is it uncomfortable? ”

"I was a little puzzled when I heard you two talking about the old mansion just now, but I didn't expect you to say that it was a crooked door." Lingzhi said word by word.

"So, mother-in-law, do you know the head of the crooked door?" Narcissus asked tentatively.

"Is there still a government that records the history of the past?" Lingzhi asked.

"Yes, it's called the Archives Section, and all the materials collected before are kept in the archives." Narcissus replied.

"So, tomorrow you two will take me to the archives with me, and I'll help you find it." Lingzhi said calmly.

"Really? Mother-in-law, that's great. Narcissus was overjoyed for a while.

At night, Lingzhi opened the drawer in his own room, took out the photo taken with Hong Shun and stared at it for a long time, and his thoughts suddenly recalled that Hong Shun had told himself alone, the crooked door ramp house was robbed by the guards, and was manipulated in the historical records, and the property rights were changed, after being discovered by Hong Shun, in order to prevent the old house from being occupied by others, Hong Shun made a special file on the old house, designated Lingzhi as the only heir of the crooked door ramp, and sealed the file. Lingzhi was too sad back then, and he didn't want to mention the old house to anyone again. Lingzhi thought to himself at this moment, if these materials had not been destroyed in the movement a few years ago, then the old house files sorted out by Hong Shun back then would definitely be sealed in the archives, but Lingzhi was not sure whether the archives had suffered when the Red Guards attacked the government a few years ago, so he proposed to Narcissus to go over and check in person tomorrow.

"Some things, the more you want to avoid them, the more you can't avoid them, and you always come to the door involuntarily, maybe this is the arrangement of fate." Lingzhi sighed.

The next day, Lingzhi came to the office of the county government Narcissus with the support of Narcissus and Xingming, and Narcissus asked Lingzhi to sit down on the sofa, and immediately sent someone to call the people in the archives to come over, and instructed them to go to the archives to bring the records of the year to the conference room according to the time provided by Lingzhi, but brought the personnel of the relevant departments to the conference room with Lingzhi for identification.

Several staff members of the archives quickly carried several large boxes of materials to the office, and everyone searched separately, and soon, a staff member found the sealed and preserved crooked door ramp file, and carefully opened the seal under the gaze of everyone, only to see that the paper inside was yellowed, the corners were curled, and the handwriting began to fade, and everyone read carefully and carefully, when they read "The only heir to the mansion is Fang Lingzhi", Narcissus and Xingming couldn't help but be stunned, and everyone present also showed surprised eyes one by one. Seeing everyone like this, Lingzhi slowly took out a small box held with a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully and slowly opened the box to see, a folded note was placed inside, Lingzhi took out the note and handed it to Narcissus, Narcissus hurriedly unfolded it to read carefully, the content written in it was the same as the content recorded in the archive, everyone understood, and turned their eyes to Lingzhi.

"Mother-in-law, this crooked ramp house is actually your old man's property, I have never heard you talk about it." Narcissus couldn't help but say.

"This is my family property, and it is also a place that I never want to go into again in my life, when I was a child, the tragedy of the whole family being wiped out made me unbearable, a large family, only I escaped by luck. Later, in order to take revenge, the only uncle who raised me and fled with me entered the old house to find revenge, and just met me and Hong Shun and Osmanthus to send Shengchang home, so there was another tragic situation that made me grief-stricken, uncle, Shengchang and Osmanthus all died at gunpoint, if it weren't for Hong Shun and Feng Ying trying their best to stop it, I really wanted to go with them at that time. Lingzhi said silently.

Narcissus sadly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears of Lingzhi, and everyone present shook their heads with sighs.

"Because there were so many people dying in the old house, rumors of haunting were circulating, and although I knew the truth, I didn't want to touch the sad past that had passed for many years, so I let it go. Now I heard that you have been looking for the head of the household, and Narcissus is also worried about this matter, so I thought of coming over to tell you the truth, and this matter will be handled by Narcissus, and I have no opinion on what you want to do. Lingzhi continued.

Two days later, Narcissus presided over a special meeting of the county government to make a decision on the renovation of the "Sifang Well" crooked door ramp house:

"The crooked gate ramp house belongs to my mother-in-law's property, of course, that is, my property, in order to dispose of this property, and in order to cooperate with the transformation of the ancient city, I have repeatedly discussed with my mother-in-law at home in the past two days, and finally decided to donate the crooked door ramp house to the country as a cultural relic of our ancient city to protect. My mother-in-law has only one request, that is, when renovating the crooked door ramp house, we must maintain the original style of the house, I also have a picture here, it is a few years ago when the movement, my father hid in it for refuge, my mother-in-law drew it with memory, which is very beneficial to the transformation of the house, I also have a request here, that is, after the renovation of this house, let my mother-in-law come over to cut a ribbon, walk in to have a look, let her old man in her lifetime but the inseparable attachment in her heart. ”

As soon as Narcissus finished speaking, the people present immediately applauded and saluted the decision of Narcissus and Ganoderma lucidum, so the last dead end of the transformation of the ancient roadway of the ancient city began to start, and the people who lived near the "Sifangjing" roadway were also very happy, hoping that after the transformation, the rumors of the haunting of the old house would be completely eliminated, and the true face of the laneway and the old house would be returned.

More than a month later, the crooked door ramp house inside and outside are all new, the red lantern is hung in front of the gate, the red couplet is posted on both sides of the eaves, the eaves above the door number, the "square house" that was previously covered is re-highlighted, in front of the door by two ceremonial girls pull up a red colored silk, several county leaders and people near the "Sifang Well" laneway are gathered in front of the gate and in the lane, waiting for the county magistrate of Narcissus to come with Ganoderma lucidum to cut the ribbon.

Ganoderma lucidum today with the help of narcissus, specially put on a beautiful dress, pinned a chic brooch on the chest, silver-white hair combed back into a bun, a little powder on the face, light lipstick, refreshed, blazing eyes, under the support of narcissus and Xingming, along the bluestone slabs of the "square well" laneway step by step, Lingzhi stepped on a piece of bluestone slabs, listened to the footsteps on the stone slabs, remembered the scene of playing with sisters in the lanes when I was a child, step by step, Now I am already an old dragon clock, every step out is so difficult, the footsteps of the years are like the bluestone slabs of this roadway from behind me one by one, walked through, and can never go back to the past.

"It's coming, it's coming." The onlookers shouted for a while.

"Let's all give way, let's all make a debut for this old man who has been through the centuries, weathered the storm, and selflessly dedicated." One of the leaders said loudly.

So the crowd of onlookers consciously retreated to both sides of the laneway, making a way, so that Narcissus and Xingming helped Lingzhi to come over, people have looked at the 80-year-old man, although the pace of progress is very difficult, but the face is full of happiness and expectation, step by step calmly walked, several county leaders saw it, hurriedly ran over to greet, everyone helped bring Lingzhi to the bright red silk front.

"Folks, today is the day when the crooked door ramp house is renovated and opened, we are very honored to invite the owner of the crooked door ramp house Fang Lingzhi old man to come over, cut the ribbon for the crooked door ramp house to reopen the door, Fang Lingzhi old man will donate this crooked door ramp house free of charge, for the transformation of our ancient city to offer a generous gift, let us all applaud the selfless dedication of the elderly. Next, I would like to invite our county magistrate of Narcissus to speak. A county leader said.

"Folks, today I am not coming as a county magistrate, but as a granddaughter to accompany my mother-in-law over, these days, after I get home from work, I will surround my mother-in-law, listen to her old man tell the story of what happened in this crooked door ramp house, although this is my family history, but I think it is also the history of our ancient city, it is because of this part of the history, our ancient city is so charming, there is accumulation, these histories are worth carrying forward, we want to build the ancient city into a long history, beautiful scenery, A famous city that you won't want to leave. At the same time, I also want to tell you that the rumors of the haunting of this alley for many years have come to an end today, and in the future, this house will be a brightly lit, delicious and fragrant ancient alleyway restaurant station, and all kinds of food in our ancient city are available here, so that tourists from outside can eat, live and play here, and make this alleyway lively and prosperous. After Narcissus finished speaking, everyone applauded happily.

"Next, let's ask the owner of the crooked door ramp house, Old Man Fang Lingzhi, to cut the ribbon and open the door." The county leader said loudly.

Narcissus held Lingzhi, the scissors handed over by the ceremonial girl to help Lingzhi in his hand, Lingzhi held the scissors in one hand, grabbed the red color silk with the other hand, and slowly cut the red color silk with all his might, and the sound of firecrackers sounded instantly, Narcissus and Xingming helped Lingzhi turn around, opened the lock on the door, and let Lingzhi be the first to raise his feet and step into the courtyard gate, and then everyone followed into the courtyard, curiously visited and browsed the furnishings in the yard and the house, and marveled while looking at it, the yard was completely familiar with Lingzhi in the past, the round well platform, Climbing the flower gallery of green vines, spliced into the bluestone slabs in the courtyard in the shape of gossip, the imitation wooden pillars in front of the living room facing the south are still majestic, so that Lingzhi seems to see the old ladies sitting in it are drinking tea and discussing matters, the difference is that some antique bronze figures have been added in the courtyard and the house, some are washing with water slurry by the well platform, some are embroidered under the flower gallery, some are sitting on chairs in the house and talking, Narcissus and Xingming help Lingzhi to look at the past everywhere, Lingzhi is looking at it while walking, Sometimes I stopped to tell Narcissus and Xingming about all kinds of interesting things that happened when I was a child, talking about my father Fang Xuan and uncle Fang Min burying gunpowder in the grass in the yard, and the sisters playing hide and seek under the flower corridor, Lingzhi said while pointing her fingers, and suddenly saw the hut by the flower corridor, so she asked Narcissus and Xingming to take her over, the three of them slowly walked to the front of the house, Narcissus pushed the door open, Lingzhi tilted his head and looked inside, only to see that the furnishings in the house were no different from the past, and he wanted to stop talking for a while.

"Mother-in-law, what do you think of when you keep up?" Narcissus asked.

"Alas, nothing, it's all gone." Lingzhi sighed and said.

"Mother-in-law, just say what you want to say, don't hold it in your heart, today, you must always be happy." Xing Ming persuaded.

"I think of Narcissus and her father, when he hid in this room alone in order to escape persecution, I really don't know how he survived?" Lingzhi said thoughtfully.

"Really?" Narcissus couldn't help but also stretched out her head to look at everything in the room and said.

"Mother-in-law, it's all my mother's fault, she was the one who created the sin back then." Xingming lowered his head and said.

"Good boy, don't take it to heart, I just said it, it's all over, as long as my mother-in-law sees you with Narcissus and Harmony, her heart will be happy." Lingzhi comforted Xingmingdao.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will be good to Narcissus for the rest of my life, and I will never make her sad." Xingming said to Lingzhi.

"I'm relieved, I'm a hundred assured." Lingzhi said with a smile.

A year later, Lingzhi completed her 85-year life journey, closed her eyes peacefully in the arms of Narcissus, and Narcissus and Xingming buried her with Hong Shun according to Lingzhi's confession, and a new grave appeared in that graveyard. The sky is drizzling, the beautiful ancient city is floating in the rain curtain, and the newly added water painting boat is slowly drifting in the river, like an elegant landscape painting scroll slowly unfolding. Narcissus endured his grief and took Xingming's arm, Xingming held Narcissus's hand tightly, and the two slowly left the graveyard.

Another round of tourist season is coming, when the dragon boat race of the ancient city is hot, the colorful balls on both sides of the river are hung high, the colorful flags are fluttering, the dragon boats on the river are shuttled back and forth in the rowing of the race members, the gongs and drums are noisy, the voices of the people are boiling, the streets and alleys are full of lights, the crowds are crowded, tourists from all over the world have poured into this ancient city, and the inns and restaurants of all sizes are stuffed.

A girl wears a long ponytail, a travel cap configured by a travel agency, a white T-shirt, short jeans, a backpack, and a tour guide flag of the travel agency, beckoning a group of tourists to walk towards the "Sifangjing" laneway.

"Everyone, keep up, now there is no food to live outside, but I want to take you to this place to ensure that you are satisfied, all the food is the famous snacks of our ancient city, there are inns for you to stay, and it is also a house with a deep cultural heritage, you look there, the oblique door is." The girl pointed to the crooked ramp not far ahead.

"Qingqing guide, why don't you open that door straight?" One tourist asked, puzzled.

"This is the most famous crooked door ramp in our ancient city." Qingqing proudly explained the origin of the crooked ramp to the tourists, and everyone listened with relish.

In the evening, Qingqing returned home, threw away her bag, fell on the sofa and couldn't move, and shouted in a straight voice:

"Mom, Dad, I'm back."

At this time, two people walked down from the upper floor, namely Narcissus and Xingming, both of them have retired, Narcissus is playing with flowers and plants at home, Xingming is fiddling with the tea ceremony, in the afternoon after the two of them have eaten on the roof of the residence, while watching the ever-changing beauty of the ancient city, while drinking tea and chatting, hearing the shouts of his daughter Qingqing, he slowly walked downstairs.

"Why did you come back so late? Hungry? Narcissus asked distressedly.

"Not hungry is one word: tired." Qingqing said as she lay on her back on the sofa.

"When I asked you to go to work in the government, you didn't listen, so you had to do the job of a tour guide." Xingming said.

"Dad, how can I have the freedom to work in the government, I don't want to be constrained." Qingqing said.

"How many tourists did you pick up today?" Narcissus asked.

"A small team, there is no place to live on the street, I have an idea, and I took them all to the crooked door ramp house, and they were very happy." Qingqing sat up and said.

"You kid, go and rinse it off, your sweat stinks, today your mother made your favorite braised pork, your mother and I have been waiting for you to come back, we also made Kong Ming lanterns, after eating, let's go to the rooftop to put Kong Ming lanterns." Xingming said.

"Ahh If there is something delicious, you don't say it sooner. Qingqing hurriedly put on her shoes and ran to the bathroom.

Watching Qingqing gobble up braised pork, Narcissus and Xingming smiled heartily. After the death of Lingzhi, Narcissus was not suitable for a long time, Xingming accompanied her all day long to comfort her, soon, as if God had specially arranged it, Narcissus was pregnant, Qingqing came to the life of Narcissus and Xingming as promised, bringing new joy to Narcissus and Xingming, after the two brought Qingqing up, they also reached the age of retirement, especially Narcissus, who had been the county magistrate for many years, and felt as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of burden after retiring, and returned to his own family life, and his heart was very comfortable and satisfied.

Qingqing finished eating, with Narcissus and Xingming together on the rooftop of the open-air roof, look around, the ancient city along the river on both sides of the lights brilliantly, large and small buildings in the light decoration is even more brilliant, splendid, the distant mountaintop and the mountainside between the characteristic buildings are all kinds of colors of lights to outline a charming outline, the streets and alleys in the city are crowded, the lights are dim, like a city that never sleeps, the river reflects a golden waves, when the painting boat in the river passes, scatter a burst of Youyang, Beautiful melodies and laughter from tourists.

Narcissus draped a shawl looking at the beautiful night scene of the ancient city and pondered, Xingming and Qingqing placed the Kong Ming lantern and lit the fire, Narcissus came over, the three of them held the Kong Ming lantern with both hands, each acquiesced in their hearts after wishing, and then slowly raised the Kong Ming lantern, and released it with the wind, only to see the Kong Ming lantern fluttering in the air with the wind, slowly rising, cutting through the darkness of the sky, Qingqing held the narcissus with one hand, and Xingming with the other, the three of them looked up at the Kong Ming lantern, and the good wishes in their hearts drifted into the distance with the Kong Ming lantern. (To be continued.) )
