Chapter 39: Granny Yang
The man finally dragged the two back to his house, saying that he had to have a meal at his own time when he finally came back, and then went out to buy groceries.
The man's wife has only seen Yu Chen a limited number of times after getting married, but this does not prevent her from having a warm attitude towards the two, beckoning the two to sit down, and taking out many things to entertain.
The man came back from buying vegetables and was followed by a large group of people, Yu Chen was stunned for a long time when he saw this, and then found these people in his memory - they were all elders who lived nearby when they were children and cared for themselves.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Chenchen has grown so big."
"You look at your eyebrows, it's carved out of the same mold as the daughter-in-law of the Yu family, it's so good-looking."
"It's a pure nonsense, it's obviously more like Yu's master."
"Who is this little girl next to her, she is really handsome, she must be better looking than the Yu family's daughter-in-law when she grows up!"
"Did someone call Granny Yang? I have to let her know about such a big thing. ”
"Go, I guess it will be there in a while."
Everyone was gossiping, and the whole courtyard suddenly became lively, Yu Chen's heart was suddenly blocked by a warm thing, his eyes were slightly red, and even his voice was a little hoarse, he stepped forward to meet everyone in a few steps: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang ......"
Li Qingyu kept shrinking back and then back, trying to reduce her sense of existence, even if someone talked to her, she just nodded with dodging eyes but didn't make a sound, she was completely a coward when she was cowering, and when there were more people talking to her, she pouted, her eyes flashed with tears and she looked like she was about to cry, and she didn't know that she thought that so many people were bullying her around her, so that these uncles and aunts were a little embarrassed, and they were only embarrassed when they were enthusiastic, so they had to cover up and say a few more words before they all went around Yu Chen.
When the people around him were gone, Li Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, the tears that were about to fall just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he shrank in the corner and looked at Yu Chen, who was still like seeing his relatives just now, hurriedly dealing with the uncles and aunts who were becoming more and more unbearable, but half an hour of hard work actually made his sword cultivator in the Ning Yuan period sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, a child's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Granny Yang is here!" ”
All the voices disappeared suddenly, and everyone looked at the door with great respect.
The expectation in Yu Chen's heart was suddenly raised, and he looked at the door expectantly.
Granny Yang was originally his mother's servant, but after her mother married her father, she was given her freedom, but even so, this Granny Yang did not mean to leave the young lady, but lived not far from the Yu family's small courtyard, and whenever she was free, she came to help with all kinds of chores and help take care of the children. When Yu Chen was a child, half of the time was brought up by this Granny Yang, and she was like a grandmother.
When Yu Chen's parents died, Granny Yang sat on the chair and wept, her expression was as dull as a wooden man, many people thought that this old man would not be able to hold on and follow, but she survived and single-handedly handled the aftermath of the two, and Yu Chen's second uncle was also found by her.
This time he went back to the city, although the purpose was to worship his parents, but if he really wanted to say it, I am afraid that visiting this old man was what he wanted to do the most, but he was not sure whether she was still alive before, so he didn't mention it to Li Qingyu, and now he was about to see someone, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself for a while, and his hands were shaking unconsciously.
Under the gaze of everyone, a rickety figure walked into everyone's sight from the corner and walked towards the living room where everyone was step by step.
A woman greeted her, stretched out her hand to support the old man, and whispered: "Granny Yang doesn't use a cane, and the bluestone slabs paved on this road are uneven, so how good is it if she falls." ”
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, my legs and feet are still flexible." The old man smiled very kindly, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes looked for a while in the crowd and then fixed on Yu Chen, who was standing in the middle of the living room, and his smile became more and more amiable, which made people's hearts warm.
Everyone started talking again.
"Granny Yang, your little young master is back, and the kid you have been looking forward to for more than ten years has not forgotten you."
"Chenchen is almost an adult, and he is not far from marrying a daughter-in-law, maybe your old man can still hold the little master."
"Oh, what are you doing here, let's go and move a chair for my mother-in-law."
……
After a long time, someone finally noticed Yu Chen, who was standing stiffly, slapped him on the back, and said with a smile: "The little guy is excited to see Granny Yang, why don't you say hello?" ”
Everyone laughed, but no one noticed that Yu Chentieqing's face had nothing to do with the excitement he should have.
It would be wrong to say that no one noticed it, because Li Qingyu also found a problem, and silently moved from the corner to a place not far behind Yu Chen, staring coldly at Granny Yang, who was no different from an ordinary old man who was smiling through the gap in the crowd, pinching the spirit vine technique in her hand, ready to launch it at any time.
Yu Chen's back was completely soaked with cold sweat, and staring at Granny Yang who was getting closer and closer, he only felt like he had fallen into a winter well, and even his hands and feet were stiff and couldn't move.
The old man in front of him looked like he remembered, with the smile in his memory, and even the aura around him was the same as in his memory, but this old man was a spiritual cultivator who had cultivated far beyond himself! At least it's the Chengdan period!
What's going on?
The old man walked up to Yu Chen tremblingly under the gaze of everyone, looked at him with his head half-tilted, and shed tears when he looked at it, but the smile on his face did not decrease in the slightest, and after looking at it for a while, he reached out and touched Yu Chen's face, and shouted: "Little master." The old and trembling voice made everyone around who heard it unmoved, and a piece of people's eyes turned red, and several women even cried directly.
When the old man's hand was about to touch his face, Yu Chen almost wanted to escape in horror, but the appearance in his memory made him hesitate, and then, a "little young master" made the defense line in his heart collapse instantly, and a voice kept announcing in his heart: She is Granny Yang, absolutely not wrong!
Tears blurred his vision all of a sudden, Yu Chen raised his still cold hands to hold the old man's warm hand, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Granny Yang......?" ”
But the people present estimated that except for Yu Chen and Li Qingyu, only this old man heard the questioning tone in his sentence, and the others had already been moved by this warm scene, where was the extra mind to pay attention to his tone?
The old man patted the back of Yu Chen's hand with his other hand, and said softly: "The little young master still remembers the old body, the old body is already very moved, as long as the little young master is promising, it is better than anything else." A stream of pure spiritual power entered Yu Chen's body with this beat, instantly relaxing his stiff body.
Looking at the old man's smile, Yu Chen swallowed all the doubts in his stomach, and once again dealt with the "siege" of uncles and aunts.
Li Qingyu quietly withdrew the spirit trick she was holding and hid back in the corner again - the granny Yang just now glanced at her from several people, and her knife-like eyes almost shattered her little heart into slag, where did she still want to go against this person? Anyway, it seems that this old man has no intention of being unfavorable to Yu Chen, so it is better for her to keep a low profile.
The dinner ended in a strange atmosphere, knowing that Granny Yang must have a lot to say to her little master, everyone had a tacit understanding to disperse after eating, and gave him a lot of food to hold before dispersing.
Under the reflection of the setting sun, the three of them walked towards the small courtyard of the Yu family with their own thoughts.
Li Qingyu hung far behind the two, but Shen Nian didn't dare to relax and stuck to Yu Chen, observing the situation of the two.
But from beginning to end, the old man didn't say a word until he stood in front of the Yu family's courtyard.
Looking at the polished copper ring on the door, the old man sighed slightly, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open a gap, then glanced back at Yu Chen, and Li Qingyu, who was standing ten meters away, and whispered: "Come in." ”
After walking into the door, the old man's trembling steps just now instantly became steady, and he walked towards the backyard step by step, where did he look like an old man?
Yu Chen and Li Qingyu, who had caught up, glanced at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes, but they didn't say anything tacitly, and raised their heels together.
The cloud flower tree planted by Yu Chen's mother was in the backyard, and it could be seen after turning a low wall, and Li Qingyu's footsteps stopped at the same time as he saw this cloud flower tree.
What Yu Chen said was indeed right, this tree was definitely the most beautiful of all the cloud flower trees, and it was the only one.
In the breeze, a cluster of cloud flowers moves with the wind, and sometimes some petals fall down, the picture is so beautiful that people are suffocating, and what is even more surprising is that the color of this cloud flower tree is completely different from other cloud flower trees, other cloud flower trees are light or dark but are powder blue, but the flowers of this tree are purple, and the darkest few small groups are simply purple, with a bit of demon, people can't take their eyes off.
The old man walked straight to the bottom of the cloud flower tree, stretched out his hand to stroke the trunk, and his movements were very gentle, as if he was caressing his own child: "More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the young lady in the spirit of heaven doesn't know if she is still looking at this cloud flower tree...... It's a shame she died. ”
Yu Chen wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to stand where he was and say nothing, waiting for the old man's next words.
The old man sighed deeply and turned to face the two: "I know what you want to ask, little master. The old body is indeed Granny Yang, who watched you grow up when you were a child, and she is also the personal servant of the young lady, no one can change this, let alone someone pretend. ”
"But ......" Yu Chen felt that something was blocking his throat and eyes, and he couldn't say anything.
"Want to know why?"
Nod.
"Then come with me." After saying that, the old man walked around the cloud flower tree and walked farther away, and the speed was very fast.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Chen clenched his hands into fists and raised his heels.
