Chapter 167: Start Again
As the son of Nanshan, the master has read poetry and books since he was a child, although he has not traveled thousands of miles, but he also knows everything about the entire Kyushu. The master said that he never thought that one day, the mountains, rivers, and cities painted in the book would appear in front of his eyes with his own eyes, waiting and looking for Aman's every day, and his heart would no longer hesitate because of all this.
And I didn't expect that it would be my master who would "send me to the end" of my old age, as I got older, my body was not enough to support me to follow the master again, no matter how hard my body was, I was about to enter the old age and I could no longer travel long distances.
I had begged my master a long time ago to let me also take the "longevity" elixir, but the master refused, he said that this kind of anti-heaven practice will have immeasurable backlash in the future, and he hopes that I can die of normal aging, which is actually a kind of happiness for the human race. I also persuaded my master to leave me alone, but my master also refused, saying that I had been with him all my life, and that he wanted to accompany me through the last stage of his life.
The master bought a small courtyard on the outskirts of Jingzhou City, which also became our home for the time being, and the master only hired a cook and two cleaning servants at home, he said that he was old and liked to be quiet. I sometimes look at the master's face that has not changed for decades, and my heart is occasionally in a trance, but more often, there will be a deep sense of powerlessness, I am afraid that one day I will really be gone, leaving the master alone in this world, he will drive himself crazy, no matter how strong a person is, after such a long time of futile waiting without news, he will always have a day when he can't stand it.
My master and I have always lived in a simple place, plus we live in the middle of nowhere, so there are not many people in the city who have seen us, but over time there are still a lot of rumors, saying that there is a goblin living in this house, immortal, and the appearance of sinking fish and geese, maybe the current demon clan is really rare, so there will always be people who are not afraid of death want to find out, every time I see some curious gossip people looking at our door, I can't help but chase them with a broomstick, although it won't be long after chasing, my old man will be out of breath, Out of breath.
Over time, the rumors in Jingzhou City have changed again, and the people I drove away swore that the goblin in the house was simply a very ugly, grumpy bad old man, every time I heard this, I would cry out for the master, except for the gray hair, where is the ugly? Of course, every time I complained to the master, the master just stared at me with strange eyes, and then smiled helplessly, I really feel that the master's temper has become much gentler over the years, how can there be irritability?
Just after noon today, another stinky boy came to our house to peep, I swore that this time I must chase him, and then beat him up and hang him on the big tree at the door, killing chickens to show the monkey, but I don't know how long I chased him, or let him run, I leaned on a big tree to rest, this body is really not convinced of the old can't do it, just when I was confused, a blurred face appeared in front of me,
"You're the goblin they say you are?"
"You're a goblin, and your whole family is a goblin?"
As an old man, I don't really want to be like these children, but he is really a bit too deceitful, and it is not good to stare at me unscrupulously, and he even touches me around in a careless manner.
"There's no demonic energy at all, alas, it's not."
The person in front of me muttered to himself, the voice should sound like a little girl, I tried to open my eyes wide, I wanted to see the person in front of me, but when I saw clearly, I felt that my eyes were more dizzy, so I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and the tears were somehow rubbed out by me,
"Old man, why are you crying?"
"You... You are... ”
I felt that I couldn't cry a little, the word old tears were played vividly by me at this time, and the little girl in front of me looked at me with a strange look, maybe it was the first time she saw an old man crying like this.
"You Terrans are weird."
"Miss Aman, you're finally back."
"Huh? Do you recognize me? ”
"I'm a freshman in junior high school."
I thought I was too old for Aman to recognize, but after a while, I realized that she really didn't recognize me, and the surging joy was extinguished by this sudden accident in an instant.
I've always thought about the scene of Miss Aman's return, even if it is against us with swords, I think the master will be happy in his heart, but now "I don't know you", will these five words be the last straw that crushes the master? By the time I realized and tried to stop Miss Aman from moving on, she was no longer in my sight.
I rushed home like a desperate person, I was still a step late, and the master of chess in the courtyard and Aman, who suddenly appeared at the gate, stood face to face, although he didn't say a word, but I could feel the storm and a thousand words rolling up in his eyes.
Watching Aman slowly walk in front of the master step by step, my heart rose to my throat, for fear that the next sentence she blurted out would kill the master, but Aman just stretched out his head and sniffed on the master,
"It's strange, why do you have a demonic aura on your human body?"
I have to admire the master's concentration, also in the face of an amnesiac Aman, his performance is much calmer, except for the incredulity that flashed in his eyes, he didn't even frown,
"That's because my wife is a demon."
"Wife? It's a pity, you're good-looking, I wanted to try the one-night spring supper mentioned in the book with you? ”
"Okay."
The master's unhesitating agreement seemed to be beyond Aman's expectations, she stared at the man in front of her, as if she had forgotten that she had made this naked bold remark first.
According to what I know about Miss Aman, she will not admit defeat easily, sure enough...
"Since you don't object, then it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just tonight."
"Okay."
After many years, I finally saw the light rising in the eyes of the master, maybe this ending is the best, and everything can start again.
