"You'd better not call me Ah Hong, I sound awkward." Murong Hong took out his finger and picked at the ear piercing, "You better call my brother directly." ”

"Brother?" Murong Xue's heart sank again.

As if seeing his sister's thoughts, Murong Hong made a concession, "Or, it's not bad for you to call me Brother Hong." “

"Brother Hong?" Murong Xue frowned.

If it's your younger brother, of course, it's called by his name, or it's called "brother" directly, and this title that combines the name with "brother" is a bit nondescript.

"Oh, that's what Sister Li used to call me." Murong Hong said seemingly nonchalantly.

When Murong Xue heard this, she was first angry in her heart, and then laughed again.

She finally understood that in her brother's heart, in fact, she could also call him like Li Yuxin.

One person's address to another often reveals the subtle relationship between them.

"Alright then, Brother Hong." Murong Xue smiled, "I'll call you that from now on." ”

"Okay, sister."

At this time, the two people looked at each other, and they seemed to be able to find the answer they wanted to know from each other's pupils. In fact, there are no secrets between them, and there are just tacit understandings that have a little bit of understanding.

"Alright, let's go." Murong Xiong walked over, "It's not too early, let's leave early." ”

The two had to separate as if nothing had happened.

However, Murong Xiong frowned, and he was also thinking about whether the decision he had made was too cruel.

This pair of young people love each other, can't he see this as a person who has come over?

In this world, only love and cough can't be hidden.

But, hey, you're brothers and sisters after all. Hong'er, Xiaoxue, Dad can only be sorry for you!

Murong Xiong sighed in his heart and walked to the car.

The family finally set off, Murong Xiong was sitting in the front, and he could see the two sisters and brothers sitting in the back, some distance apart.

"Don't you want to know where we're going?" Murong Xiong couldn't help but be silent after getting into the car, and spoke.

As soon as they got in the car, the two sisters and brothers stopped talking, surprisingly quiet, and seemed to be thinking about their own thoughts. In fact, their hearts are all related to each other.

Murong Xiong had to divert their attention, so he coughed again and replied to himself, "The place we are going to is the most famous tourist attraction in Jiangbei City, Lion Mountain. ”

"Lion Mountain?" Murong Hong was stunned for a moment and raised his head.

"Yes, it's Lion Mountain." Murong Xiong said, "This Lion Mountain is like our Yuanbao Mountain in Jiangnan City, the scenery on the mountain is beautiful, there are many historical sites, and the most wonderful thing is that you can also overlook the scenery of the entire Jiangbei City from here." Oh, and if the weather is good, you can see Gangnam City on the other side of the river. ”

"When you see Jiangnan City, you can see so far?" Murong Hong was still a little curious.

In fact, the last time he came here, he had already gone to Lion Mountain once, but he was not particularly impressed. In his impression, this Lion Mountain is no different from other mountains, far inferior to his own Zhongnan Mountain. However, it seems that there is no particularly outstanding scenery in this Jiangbei City, and it is good to have a lion mountain.

"Yes, the so-called glance at the mountains and the distance is really refreshing!" Murong Xiong nodded, and all kinds of memories from the past came to mind, "I think back then, when I failed in business, I came to this mountain, stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and my whole body was full of strength!" ”

Murong Hong didn't ask any more questions, but quietly listened to his father's story.

As a business tycoon who has been in the mall for so many years, his father Murong Xiong must have a lot of emotion.

"Hong'er, there is no hurdle in life that cannot be overcome, just like the song 'sometimes rises, sometimes falls', life always rises and falls between this peak and trough. Sometimes you're in pain, but as long as you grit your teeth and push through, there's a new world ahead. The father said with emotion, "In the future, you will think about it, and you will feel that the past is nothing." Life can be repeated, and there will be miracles in every qiē! ”

"Life can be repeated, and there will be miracles in every qiē?" Hearing this, Murong Hong's heart shook.

Murong Xue sat on the side, listening to the conversation between the old and the young, without saying a word.

At this time, her heart was like waves on the sea, and she really fell together.

"It's nothing, it's going to pass in a qiē." Murong Xiong said earnestly, "Hong'er, you must be worthy of your heart at all times, whether it is success or failure, good times or bad, you must have a clear conscience, so that even if you are unsatisfactory, you can have no regrets." ”

"How can you be as good as you want, but please be worthy of my heart?" Murong Hong sighed.

"Yes, child, sacrifice must be made when it is time to sacrifice. In this life, there will always be something to lose, something to miss, and a little regret. However, there is no gain without sacrifice, and that's how life is. You'll learn about this later. Murong Xiong said one last sentence and stopped talking.

No sacrifice is not gained? Murong Hong chewed on his father's words repeatedly in his heart.

Yes, I always have to sacrifice some of my children's personal feelings, if I make my sister suffer for a lifetime because of my love, then who am I, Murong Hong?

At this time, Murong Xue's heart was also sour.

Of course, she knew: her father's words were also for herself, and her father was hinting at what she should sacrifice.

Family affection and love sometimes can't coexist, and she can't have a younger brother and a lover at the same time.

Ah Hong, I can't be by your side anymore, because you are my younger brother, and my sister hopes that you can find someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life, so that you can always be happy.

Murong Xue's heart began to cry.

At this time, she finally understood the meaning of "sacrifice".

It is really difficult to sacrifice a love, but for the future and happiness of the beloved, this sacrifice needs to be made.

Forget me, and let me forget him.

Murong Xue turned her head and looked out the window.

Her beautiful and slightly haggard face appeared in the car window, and at this time, she was the only one who could understand her painful and helpless feelings.

Love is always so tormenting.

When he arrived at the Shishan Scenic Area, Murong Xiong instructed the driver Ah Yong to drive the car to the back mountain, instead of entering from the entrance of the scenic spot.

"Dad, why don't you get off at the gate of the scenic spot? What to do in the back mountains? Murong Hong asked.

"You'll know when you get there." Murong Xiong seemed particularly quiet.

Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, turned his head, but saw that his sister Murong Xue still pillowed her head by the car window and said nothing. Her long eyelashes, jet-black hair, and her fair, slightly haggard face made him want to come forward and hug her and soothe her.

But Murong Hong could only sit still, and he didn't dare to say a word to her.

In the silence, the car drove to a place in the back mountain.

When the car stopped, Murong Hong realized that this was a hill full of graves.

"Huh? Dad, you, how did you bring us to this place? Murong Hong was stunned.

Murong Xue, who had not spoken, also frowned and looked here.

There are many tombs here, some of which are overgrown with weeds, and it is clear that no one has come to worship them for a long time. And those lonely tombstones are all telling the past of the people buried here, whether they are poor or rich, happy or unhappy in front of them, here, everyone is the same.

"This is the graveyard of your grandparents." Murong Xiong nodded, "Also, the ancestors of our Murong family are also buried here. ”

"Huh?" The Murong siblings were all shocked.

Father brought them to the grave? This is something they never expected.

"I'm not here to play, but to worship my ancestors." Murong Xiong said, "Ah Yong, take out the pile of things I put in the car, the black bag." ”

"Yes." Ah Yong took out a bag from the car, and it turned out that it contained things like incense, candles, and money.

"Dad, you, you've been prepared for a long time?" Murong Hong asked.

"Yes, when I heard the news of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting, I decided to come here." Murong Xiong nodded, "I didn't come to Jiangbei City on a whim, I am now a son and daughter by my side, so I can take the two of you to worship the ancestors of our Murong family." ”

"Oh." I don't know why, Murong Hong's heart is a little heavy.

"Come on." Murong Xiong didn't say much, and walked in front of the team.

The Murong siblings had no choice but to follow, while the driver, Ah Yong, continued to stay in the car and wait for them.

The father and son walked together on a rough and difficult road, and finally came to a large tomb.

This tomb is different from the other tombs around, it looks much more magnificent, obviously, this tomb has been repaired after Murong Xiong's development. The tombstone is engraved with several big characters "Tomb of the Late Father Murong Zhao, Late Mother Murong Liu".

"Is this the graveyard of grandparents?" Murong Xue, who had been silent, spoke, "Why didn't grandma leave her name?" ”

"Yes, in the past, women followed their husband's surname, followed by their maiden name, but their own name would not be engraved on it." Murong Xiong nodded, "My mother hasn't read any books, she doesn't even have a name, only a nickname is Yu'er. ”

"Yu'er? What a nice name. Murong Hong said with emotion, "Grandma must be a beauty, gentle as jade, right?" ”

"Sort of, at least in the village." Murong Xiong nodded, "My mother is a virtuous woman, virtuous is more important than appearance, she brought up the two of us brothers and suffered a lot. My father died early, and my mother was widowed alone, so it was not easy for her. ”

The Murong siblings lowered their heads and stopped talking.

After Murong Xiong put all the incense and candles on the table, he stood in front of the cemetery and said to the tombstone: "Dad, Mom, my son is back to see you!" My son is not filial and can't come to visit you often, please forgive me! ”

As he spoke, he knelt down on his knees, already in tears.

The Murong siblings glanced at each other, and also knelt down with their father.

"Dad, Mom, this time, my son brought your grandson Murong Hong and your granddaughter Murong Xue together." Father was still talking, "The two of them kowtowed to you." ”

He turned his head and said, "You two, kowtow to your grandparents and let them know that their grandchildren have come to see them." ”

Murong Hong kowtowed three times towards the tomb very reverently, although he had never seen his grandparents, not even a photo or portrait, but he knew: this is his Murong Hong's roots.

However, Murong Xue hesitated for a moment, and when she saw her father's gaze, she slowly knocked her head down.

It's not that Murong Xue didn't kowtow to her grandparents, but she was all at home, kowtowing to the wooden spiritual tablet. But today, it is also the first time that she came to the grave of her grandparents to bow down.

Of course, she also knew that the meaning of her kowtow this time was completely different from the past.

Today, she is kneeling down to her grandparents with Murong Hong, the one she loves, which is equivalent to bowing down to the ancestors of the Murong family. And this prostration, undoubtedly announcing that it is impossible between them.

She hopes that one day she can kneel down and worship her ancestors and heaven and earth with Murong Hong, because they want to marry and accept the blessings of their ancestors and heaven and earth. But, she knows: this day will not come.

Today's worship announced that they can only be sisters and brothers. My father suddenly brought them here this time and asked them to pay homage to their grandparents' graves together, in fact, in a silent act, completely cutting off their way of return. Now, they can only become sisters and brothers in the true sense, and there is no other choice.

Murong Xue didn't know how the two rings in the back knocked on her head, whether it hurt or not.

She was numb, and for the first time, she tasted a sour taste, the taste of broken love, the taste of despair.

At this time, her soul seemed to have been hollowed out, and only a shell swaying in the wind remained??????
