After a while, the grandfather and grandson disappeared, and the white snow was empty.

Liu He was like waking up from a dream, and he desperately searched around, but no matter how hard he tried, not even a single footprint was left on the silver-white snow.

Liu He stood in place, tears falling uncontrollably, if he could, he wanted to look at the old man again, even if it was just a glance.

"My good grandson has grown so big in a blink of an eye."

A voice sounded behind him, but Liu He didn't dare to turn his head to look, but turned his back to the man, trembling involuntarily.

"Come, turn around and let grandpa see, has it changed?"

Liu He hurriedly wiped the tears from his face, mustered up his courage, and made a smile that he felt best, and then turned away.

At that moment, looking at that long-lost face, tears broke down again.

The old man walked over and gently wiped away the tears on Liu He's face, "Silly boy, what are you crying about, you come to see grandpa, grandpa can't be happier." ”

Liu He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to nod vigorously.

"Don't cry, grandpa is relieved to see that you are doing well. You see, grandpa didn't lie to you, when you grow up, will you be able to understand what grandpa said? ”

When Liu He heard this, he choked up again.

It's too late to find out now......

"Grandpa knows, you are a good and sensible boy, your generation does not understand us, why did we try to understand you back then? When Grandpa was alone, he always thought about this problem, and after so many years, he finally figured it out. In the world, there will always be elders and descendants, and each generation lives in a different era, with different thoughts and feelings. For the elders, we don't need to understand, let alone understand, we just need to live well, which is the greatest comfort to them. For the younger generations, there is only one thing we can do, which is to shoulder the mission that this generation should undertake, even if we can't live the way we want, we must grit our teeth and hold on, so as to leave a road that is no longer so difficult for future generations. Look, grandpa's old habit of nagging has been committed again, don't be annoyed. ”

Liu He shook his head desperately, he hoped that his grandfather could continue to talk like this, and say all the things that his grandparents and grandchildren wanted to say for so many years but didn't have time to say here.

"Do you remember, when you were a child, your grandfather once said that when you all leave the house and your grandfather is left alone, you must build a big snowman?" As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and pointed, "Look, that snowman is right there." ”

Liu He turned his head to look, but there was nothing, and when he turned around, he found that the old man's body had begun to become transparent and was about to disappear.

He reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch anything, his hand passed over the old man's body as if it were crossing the air, and he didn't feel it at all.

He knew that this might be the last time he would see each other in this life, and he finally couldn't hold back the depression in his heart anymore, and cried out heartbreakingly: "Grandpa! Don't go! You're not done with your snowman yet! You're back! ”

"My good grandson, you are the biggest and most beautiful snowman in my grandfather's life." The old man's face showed a smile of relief, and then the whole person disappeared from Liu He's sight.

Liu He closed his eyes and let the tears slide down his face.

After a long time, when he opened his eyes again, he was back in the room full of books.

At some point, there was an extra bowl of tea on the table, exactly the same as the one he drank in the gazebo.

He knew that after drinking this bowl of tea, he would be able to leave the place.

He walked over, picked up the tea bowl and was about to drink it, but put it down again.

He turned his head and looked out the window, it was still white, only this time, above the snow, stood a snowman, the largest and most beautiful snowman he had ever seen in his life.

Looking at the snowman who seemed to be smiling at himself, a happy smile appeared on his face, and then he drank the bowl of tea.

It was still the shore of Huaishui, or the pavilion, and the head of the Zhao family was still standing with his hands behind his back, as if everything had just happened in an instant.

Liu He sat at the stone table, looking at the chessboard scattered with chess pieces, stunned.

The head of the Zhao family turned his head and couldn't help frowning when he saw Liu He's appearance, but he looked like he wanted to say something.

"What? Am I any different than before? Liu He suddenly raised his head and asked.

The head of the Zhao family didn't make a sound, although Liu He in front of him, although he still looked like that young man, but in his eyes, he didn't know when, there was already a sense of vicissitudes after being weathered.

"Do you have the answer to that question in mind?" After staring at Liu He for a long time, the head of the Zhao family asked.

Liu He pondered for a moment and said calmly: "If I were Emperor Shun, I would entrust the world to someone who could be trusted, and then take the Blind and fly away, never to come back." ”

Hearing this answer, the head of the Zhao family showed a look of surprise on his face, "Really don't kill?" ”

"Why do you want to kill?" Liu He asked rhetorically.

"If he is guilty of a capital crime, if he is spared, it will be a perversion of the law for personal gain." The head of the Zhao family said as he observed Liu He's expression.

Liu He still said calmly: "You only said that you committed a capital crime, but you didn't say what crime it was, even if you are a wicked person, it is possible that you were framed by someone, the purpose is, of course, to pull Emperor Shun off the throne and replace him." What's more, Emperor Shun is an emperor, as an emperor, he doesn't even have the power to pardon a person's capital crimes, how can he govern the world? ”

"If you can make such a domineering statement, why do you want to fly away with you?" The head of the Zhao family asked.

"If you look at it from the perspective of an emperor, you don't have to go. But since someone even dared to sentence Emperor Shun's biological father to death, it is inevitable that no one will attack him in the future. As a son, of course, to go. ”

The head of the Zhao family had a gloomy face, and after being silent for a long time, he asked again: "Do you know that the three emperors and five emperors were all descendants of Zen, and the emperor was inhabited by the capable. ”

Liu He nodded, "I know, so what?" ”

The head of the Zhao family said sharply: "Is it too far-fetched to look at this past problem from today's eyes? ”

Liu He smiled: "Since it's a question of the past, why do you still ask?" ”

The head of the Zhao family was like being struck by lightning, and when he looked at the smiling young man in front of him, he was speechless for a while.

Liu He stood up, walked to the head of the Zhao family, and stood side by side with him, "After I drank that bowl of tea, I only understood one truth, everything that happened in the past was the business of the predecessors, and since time has passed, many things are no longer applicable." What you do now is what matters. If we do it right, we will not only leave a happy land for future generations, but also prevent them from dwelling on what we have experienced. ”
