Su Xiaonuan's hometown is in a remote mountainous area in the northeast. Because of the geographical location, it is not clearly displayed on the map. However, after Su Xiaonuan's general explanation, Qin Feng believes that it is just a place that retains its traditional customs. However, he did not know that the path he embarked on would bring him unforeseen consequences.

The car got off the highway and started to jolt a bit. Qin Feng looked behind him, and there were no more people behind him. Su Xiaonuan leaned against the window, looked outside, and didn't speak for a long time.

Coming out of the hospital, Su Xiaonuan's expression has been in a trance. Qin Feng guessed that it might be because of a false alarm that night that made her not come back to her senses!

This time to Su Xiaonuan's hometown, Qin Feng was also a little awkward. Su Xiaonuan told him a lot about his hometown before leaving. One of the most is that the people there have a strange temperament and are more resistant to outsiders. So, I've been telling him not to be afraid if anything strange happens there.

Are there ghosts in this world? Qin Feng disagreed.

Of course, he didn't look for Su Xiaonuan's grandfather simply to ask for help. He has a secret, and this secret implicates another secret that he has always wanted to know. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is this time, he must also find Su Xiaonuan's grandfather.

After a day of bumping on the road, the car finally arrived.

Outside the window, it was getting dark. Qin Feng pulled the coat on his body and walked out of the somewhat shabby station with Su Xiaonuan. It's really a remote area, and even the station in Nancheng is several times better than here. Qin Feng was thinking about where Su Xiaonuan's home was, when Su Xiaonuan suddenly spoke, "Let's go, let's go to the hotel in front for one night, and then rush the next day." Su Xiaonuan pointed to the front and said.

"What? Xiao Nuan, it's not here yet! Qin Feng screamed in surprise.

"Tomorrow it's another 4 hours of walking on the mountain road." Su Xiaonuan said and walked forward. Qin Feng cried and followed closely behind with his luggage.

Qin Feng followed Su Xiaonuan and stayed in a hostel.

It is said to be a hostel, but it is actually a farmer's face of the street that has been converted into a dirt façade. The first floor is where the owner lives by himself, and the second floor is the hostel's room. The owner of the hostel, surnamed Jin, is a warm-hearted lady who speaks a pure Northeast accent. She enthusiastically helped Su Xiaonuan and Qin Feng make the bed, and then brought them a pot of hot water.

Before leaving, Aunt Jin smiled and said, "You can rest in peace, no one will check here." Hehe. ”

Su Xiaonuan's face flushed, and she didn't say anything, but just turned her head embarrassedly. Qin Feng walked over and closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed.

The same scene, the same old people.

Su Xiaonuan remembered that night, Qin Feng knelt on the ground affectionately and said to her, Xiaonuan, marry me!

For a girl, that moment must be the happiest moment of her life. Su Xiaonuan was happily drunk and fell into Qin Feng's arms. She closed her eyes and let Qin Feng's hand gently untie her clothes.

For a long time, there was no movement. She opened her eyes, only to see Qin Feng's gaze looking at her chest in horror. Su Xiaonuan lowered her head and understood. Su Xiaonuan has a dark red birthmark on her chest, which looks like a strange bird, especially her eyes are abnormal, and she looks hideous and terrifying in the dim light.

Su Xiaonuan didn't speak, just slowly closed her clothes.

What Qin Feng looked like that night, Su Xiaonuan still remembers it clearly. He trembled, as if he had seen a ghost in a panic.

That beautiful night, the lights in the hostel room were on all night. Under the murmur of the night, Su Xiaonuan curled up on the bed with her knees in her arms, and her tears flowed silently all night.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaonuan's heart was extremely heavy.

Qin Feng looked at her and wanted to say something, but Su Xiaonuan suddenly turned around and lay down on her side.

Night, quiet and lonely.

When Su Xiaonuan was very young, she began to hate the birthmark on her chest. The strange pattern was like a shadow that could not be thrown away, hovering in her nightmares. Because of this birthmark, Su Xiaonuan never dared to take a bath in front of others. She had to cover her chest tightly even when she slept, because she couldn't imagine what kind of contempt and ridicule would fall on her when others knew the secrets of her body.

When she was in high school, she read a sentence in a magazine that every birthmark was a tear dripped from a loved one's past life.

If this is really the case, then the tears on Su Xiaonuan's body are too big!

Secrets don't stay hidden forever. One night of her freshman year, it was already late, and Su Xiaonuan went to the bathhouse to take a bath alone. Just as she was halfway through the wash, a man walked in.

That person is a psychology teacher at Nancheng University, Fang Min.

When Su Xiaonuan saw Fang Min, she curled up together in panic. With both hands firmly covering the birthmark in front of her, she couldn't imagine what kind of frenzy her secret would cause when it was revealed in front of a second person.

What she didn't expect was that Fang Min didn't scream, nor was she afraid. Instead, he walked over and gently picked up the trembling Su Xiaonuan. That night, Su Xiaonuan followed Fang Min to the teacher's dormitory.

There, Fang Min told her a lot of things. In fact, she said, everyone has flaws, some in appearance and some in mind. The birthmark on Su Xiaonuan's body is not terrible, it is just some skin changes encountered at birth.

Fang Min's words made Su Xiaonuan suddenly discover his wrong cognition and judgment of his body. In this world, there are many things that people can't control. Therefore, no matter what kind of ups and downs fate gives, as long as you go on firmly, everything will open and see the moon.

After that time, Su Xiaonuan often went to the dormitory to chat with Teacher Fang Min. At Fang Min's suggestion, she even went to the hospital for a check-up. To her surprise, the birthmark may not have been born, but was later attached. Of course, there will be no harm to Su Xiaonuan's body.

However, what she didn't expect was that that night, when Qin Feng untied her underwear and saw the birthmark, he decisively proposed to break up with her the next day.

To love a person should be to love all of him (her), even if one day he becomes ugly and crippled, it will not change. What was said before turned into one ridicule after another at this moment, and it came rushing in.

Alas! Su Xiaonuan sighed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and closed her eyes deeply.

Qin Feng turned his head cautiously, looking at Su Xiaonuan's back, a tear fell gently down Qin Feng's cheek.

Su Xiaonuan didn't know how much suffering Qin Feng had endured when he made up his mind to break up.

That night, when Qin Feng saw the birthmark on Su Xiaonuan's chest, he felt like he had been hit on the head.

That pattern, he was all too familiar.

When my father was carried back, he clutched a mutilated piece of paper in his hand. The scrap of paper was stained with blood, and the only thing that could be seen was a pattern that looked like a strange bird.

That was the only clue that my father left to the world, and no one knew what the truth of the matter was. So, that pattern became the key to my father's death. However, Qin Feng never thought that one day he would see that pattern on his lover's chest. The shock at that time made him almost unable to contain the anger in his heart. Reason calmed him down, and then, he proposed to break up. Although he didn't know how the pattern on Su Xiaonuan's body came from, at least she couldn't get out of the relationship.

Later, he figured it out and believed in a sentence, everything was arranged in the dark. No matter what the consequences of going back with Su Xiaonuan this time, he is willing to bear it, even if it is at the cost of his life.

The road on both sides began to steepen, and the trees next to it became more and more lush. In the mountains and forests, there are still crisp bird sounds ringing in my ears from time to time.

Qin Feng was already so tired that he couldn't breathe and was out of breath. He looked at the sheep intestine trail in front of him, and his legs and feet began to weaken a little. Accustomed to walking on the flat streets of the city, it is really unbearable to walk so far on the mountain road suddenly.

Su Xiaonuan looked very relaxed, she looked back at Qin Feng from time to time and shook her head.

The air in the mountains is indeed fresh. However, at this moment, Qin Feng did not enjoy the leisure of nature, he only hoped to reach his destination quickly, and bubbled his sore feet with hot hot water.

Finally stepping out of the sheep intestine path, Qin Feng saw a village looming in front of him. In front of those villages, there was a large tree like a mountain. It is said that it is Su Xiaonuan's hometown to protect the ancient tree.

Su Xiaonuan quickened her pace, and seemed to have a sense of impatience to return home. Qin Feng had no choice but to run and jump behind. As the distance shortened, the village and the trees came into view.

Qin Feng didn't expect this ancient tree to be so lush, it was hovering on the top of the mountain, and its branches spread upward, as if extending to the sky. The ancient tree seems to be an old man who has been sleeping for thousands of years, and the branches that hover and climb add to its vicissitudes and immortality. Next to the ancient tree stands a stone tablet with three words engraved on it, Yuling Village. Three words, vigorous and powerful, the sky is strong, quite a calligrapher's formation.

In the past, Su Xiaonuan told him that this tree was planted during the Yuan Dynasty. After thousands of years of wind and frost, it is still luxuriant, so people in the village will always go to worship it when they have nothing to do.

At that time, Qin Feng still smiled and said, what age, still go to worship a tree.

Now it seems that such a majestic and vigorous tree is indeed about to become a refinement. Qin Feng looked around the tree carefully while looking, and nodded his head from time to time.

When Qin Feng slowly took his eyes off the tree, he saw that there were suddenly people standing in front of him. At the head of them was an old man with gray hair and beard, his body standing straight, and although he was very old, he could see that his body was still in good health.

Intuition told Qin Feng that that was the object of his help this time, Su Xiaonuan's grandfather.
