After Marita's death, Zhou Nan rarely left Jonas Farm. In the past, he liked to go around the shopping street next to the convention center with Audrey when he was fine, but then he rarely came out.

Except for the funerals of some old friends, Zhou Nan went into complete seclusion, and he did not even participate in the World Economic Forum, which now affects the world.

He also stopped meeting with the leaders of the countries that come to the World Economic Forum every year.

Except for the occasional video recording to the heads of various enterprises, there is almost no news of him from the outside world.

Time came again in 2017, his smooth skin became full of wrinkles, and now he and Audrey sit together, no longer like mother and son.

Audrey also gave up her annual beauty and didn't care about her appearance at all.

Although they get along every day now, they rarely speak, with an expression and a look, the other party understands what they want to express.

In order to be afraid of the loneliness of the two old people, the fourth generation of the family still grew up on the farm, led by Xue Lin, the grandmother, and Zhou Lixiang, the young grandfather, taught them martial arts from an early age.

Zhou Lixiang, the youngest second generation, is almost fifty years old, but he is still a wanderer and has not been married until now.

Zhou Nan has completely ignored him, as long as he feels happy, everything is fine.

The second daughter-in-law, the silly Bai Tian, and the eldest daughter, Xue Lin, are silly Bai Tian, the two of them have been good for a lifetime, and they are in charge of the trivial affairs of the farm together.

Changed her fate, she enjoys the luxurious and free life now, and likes to watch her grandson and granddaughter Chenghuan feel on her knees.

The third generation, who had grown up, left the investment fund and returned to work at the family foundation, which also gave the second generation more time to travel around the world with her.

Zhou Nan and Audrey just enjoyed the leisurely life of stretching their hands for food and opening their mouths, and they didn't have anything to worry about.

Although she is almost ninety years old, Audrey is still so beautiful in Zhou Nan's eyes.

has been taken care of by Zhou Nan all her life, in front of the children, she is a kind grandmother, great-grandmother, in front of Zhou Nan, he is still the beautiful little girl at the beginning.

She is only in front of him, and she will be coquettish.

"You must outlive me, even if it's for a day. Otherwise, I can't stand a world without you. ”

"I will, I will live one day longer than you, and only one day. Marita has already left me, and if you leave me again, I won't be able to live. ”

This kind of conversation comes almost every day.

Zhou Nan's body was already worse than the life in his dream, although his qi cultivation and longevity skills in this life were higher.

Since Marita's death, he has been able to clearly feel the aging of his body.

What made him jealous the most was Hughes, this guy had lived for one hundred and twelve years, but he was still alive and well.

He has experienced so many women, and he has lived more chic than Zhou Nan all his life. I learned kung fu from Zhou Nan, and my body was even better than Zhou Nan.

Maybe in this world, he is the real protagonist.

Now, this protagonist is sitting across from him.

Although his body is still tough, Hughes is clearly running out of time.

was originally 1.9 meters tall, but now there is less than 1.7 meters left, and his waist is still bent deeply.

But at least, he is much better than Zhou Nan, who can basically only lie half-lying now.

Zhou Nan can no longer stand the high pressure of the plane's rise, but he can still see him from the United States.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here."

"Stay and stay, Jonas Farm doesn't miss you a bed."

"No, that's not what I meant."

Zhou Nanleng paused and laughed. "Well, Jonas Farm doesn't miss you a piece of land."

He laughed too. "One hundred and twelve years old, I never thought I would live this long. When I was young, I escaped death several times, and no one thought that the people who saw my jokes at the beginning were dead, and I was still alive and well. ”

"We're all going to die."

"I remember you wrote an article in the eighties that divided human death into three stages."

Zhou Nan recalled for a while, then remembered, and nodded with a smile.

Audrey took over and said, "The first death is when your heart stops beating, then from a biological point of view, you die; The second time is at the funeral, and everyone who knows you comes to pay their respects, then your position in society is dead; The third time is after the death of the last person who remembered you, then you are really dead. ”

Hughes nodded and said, "So I'll say that none of the three of us will really die." ”

After living to be one hundred and twelve years old, he still couldn't help but show off. However, Zhou Nan and Audrey already knew him very well, so they didn't rush it, and waited for him to say it himself.

Hughes laughed and laughed for a while before saying: "You see, I am the first person in American history to have personal legal assets exceed 100 billion US dollars, I am the most amazing adventurer in American history, I am the protagonist of as many as eleven biographical films, and many more movies are based on me." My company is located all over the world, and our medical center is the number one medical research center in the world. All of this has engraved me on the traces of history. ”

He calmed his breath before he added: "Audrey, you are the most outstanding beauty of the twentieth century, and you have led the fashion trend of the whole world for half a century. Although you have only participated in nine films, you have won three Oscar actresses and one Oscar supporting actress. All this will not let the world forget you forever. ”

Finally, he turned to Zhou Nan. "Jonas, you've done so much that I don't know where to start. In my opinion, there is only one concept that can represent you, and that is that Time magazine selected you as the best representative of humanity in the twentieth century. ”

He took another breath before he said: "Even if this world is destroyed, you will be remembered by history forever, and in my opinion, there is no one who will force you to be better." ”

Zhou Nan felt ashamed in his heart, he was just a person with a head start.

So he just smiled indifferently and shook his head. "I don't have the hobby you boast about, so let's go for a walk on the farm while I can still move."

At sunset, two people helped each other, and another old man also followed him, staggering along.

James watched this scene in a daze for a long time, and began to create a large oil painting under the name of "Sunset" that night.

It was almost a month to go, and although they never walked like that again, James didn't need to recreate the old scene at all, because it was already engraved in his mind.

When Zhou Nan saw the completed painting, he couldn't help but praise: "Liying, this painting already has a master level. ”

A simple sentence made James's eyes red. "Dad, I didn't disgrace you, did I?"

Zhou Nan said with relief: "Never." ”

During this time, the children have felt that their bodies are aging very quickly, and several children have taken turns to return to their side.

Although Zhou Nan and Audrey felt that it was unnecessary, they didn't say anything, but felt very relieved.

Then, some old friends and students also got some news about it, and more and more people came to visit Jonas Farm.

Immediately afterward, the media around the world began to spread that Jonas Zhou was not in good health.

The Jonas family has not responded to any rumors, and even when asked by reporters in public, they have only replied with no comment.

This is actually a tacit acquiescence that Zhou Nan and Audrey's physical condition is not very good.

The whole world is boiling, and Jonas Farm is even more lively. Not only journalists from all over the world, but also tourists from all over the world.

Weggis has been almost occupied by the Chinese, and in recent decades, it has been a favorite tourist destination for South Chinese, and now another China has been added.

Even if they can't go to Jonas Farm, they still have to visit two museums, go to the town's amusement park, sit by the lake, and visit the short but beautiful museum.

Although the pride of Zhou Nan, a Chinese, has become more and more low-key in recent years, the development of the media and the Internet has made everyone proud of him now.

In addition to them, there are many more Europeans, people from all over the world.

Even if you are not a fan of Zhou Nan's books, you may be a fan of Zhou Nan's music, and you may be a fan of Zhou Nan.

The name Jonas Zhou has moved away from a fixed image and has become a real cultural symbol.

They didn't hesitate to see Zhou Nan with their own eyes, just to come under this sky and breathe a piece of air with the great man.

In May, when she woke up one morning, Audrey opened her eyes and saw that Zhou Nan beside her had also woken up. "Honey, I feel the need to call the kids."

Zhou Nan nodded. "yes, I feel it too. Want to go and see our new home one last time? ”

Audrey nodded. "Marita has been waiting for us for eight years, and if she doesn't go, she'll be grumpy again."

"Yes, she's in a hurry, I'm afraid she's been waiting for a long time."

Unable to walk on their own, they drove themselves to the foot of the mountain in an electric wheelchair and let the children carry them to the hillside.

The May Mountains were so beautiful, with verdant foliage and small flowers blooming under the trees that most of Jonas Farm could be seen clearly from their future new home.

The beautiful pasture spreads out like a few green carpets along the mountain, and two strange and beautiful trees still guard the entire farm in the main house.

"We'll be guarding Jonas Farm here from now on......"

Audrey held Zhou Nan's hand, although she was a lot older, but now her face showed a happy flush.

"Jonas, my life has been happy and fulfilling. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to meet you in the most beautiful season. ”

"Me ...... too"

Hughes, who was stubbornly walking up the hill slowly, pointed to the open space between Zhou Nan's tomb and Kelly's tomb and said, "I have already chosen, and I will live there in the future." ”

Zhou Nan looked at the land, looked back and smiled: "I will be friends in the next life." ”

He affirmed, "Be friends in the next life." ”

Coming down the hillside, Audrey began to have a fever, but no one mentioned going to the hospital, and even Audrey refused to give herself an injection from her personal doctor.

Zhou Nan felt that this was not a fever, but a sign of returning to the light, and his Audrey was also leaving him.

When Marita left, he still had Audrey, so he couldn't go with him. But this time, he didn't think about leaving Audrey alone again.

The next day, all the children who were out of town returned, whether it was sons, daughters-in-law, daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren, including a few ignorant great-grandchildren.

The fourth generation of the fourth generation is eight years old this year and is already sensible. With tears in his eyes, he asked, "Great-grandfather, are you and your great-grandmother leaving us?" ”

Zhou Nan smiled: "No, although our bodies have left you, we will be with you forever." It's right at Jonas Farm. ”

From coming to Europe alone, to now having children and grandchildren, Zhou Nan feels that such a life is truly complete.

The distribution of the family's property has been arranged, and even the funeral ceremony has been arranged, and Zhou Nan and Audrey have no concern at all.

They only care about each other.

Their hands were also held on and refused to let go.

Zhou Nan sat next to him and couldn't stand it, let go of Audrey's hand, and lay down on the bed with difficulty.

What was once a simple action, but now it can make him panting from exhaustion.

Audrey was speechless, lying on the bed with only Zhou Nan in her eyes. When Zhou Nan lay down, he couldn't wait to stretch out his hand again.

In the evening, neither of them had eaten, and Zhou Nan drove the children away. "It's all gone, leave me alone with Audrey, maybe starting tomorrow, you will have to work hard, you have to rest well today."

Everyone couldn't help crying, and Xue Lin, who had a delicate personality, was afraid that her crying would disturb her parents, so she couldn't help but run outside the room.

The second one, who has always made people feel ruthless and ruthless in the mall, also has red eyes. "Dad, Mom is no longer good, but you are fine, don't say these words."

"You're sixty-two years old, and there's nothing else you can't think of. Do you think I would be able to survive without your mother? ”

Everyone refused to leave, and Zhou Nan let them go.

Looking at Audrey next to him with her eyes closed and still showing a delicate smile, even if this face was full of wrinkles, he still felt that he couldn't see enough.

At the age of eleven, she cowardly hid behind a tree in the Arnhem Forest. "I'm here for my toys."

At the age of fourteen, she looked at herself with worried and confused eyes and asked, "Jonas, is life always so hard?" ”

At the age of seventeen, she told herself in a happy tone: "With you, Jonas, I will never be afraid." ”

When she knew how many wives Chinese could marry, she asked worriedly, "Jonas, do you Chinese really have several wives?" Will you too? ”

I promised her that she wouldn't, but in the end she broke her promise.

It was a debt he owed to her for the rest of his life, but he could never make up for it.

She endured it in silence without even complaining.

Because in her heart, he weighs even more than herself.

She is an angel who does not stir up dust, and brings all the good things to him.

The scenes that once happened were like a color movie, and every picture was vividly presented in front of me.

And the memory of the dream I had long been blurred seemed to be alive at this time.

Everything that has been experienced has made the two lives confused, and finally merged into one end.

It seems to be this day!
