The old man really became a bad old man in the world, got up and washed, and then put on a simple dress, and pulled his trouser legs to the position of his feet and neck.

Then, the old man picked up a mud-stained hoe on the edge of the thatched hut and carried it on his shoulder: "Stinky boy, go to the hoe with grandpa to grow vegetables." ”

"Old man, are you serious?"

Gu Hengsheng looked at the old man's dress and was surprised.

"Nonsense, old man, I have lived like this for thousands of years," the old man glared at Gu Hengsheng, and pulled Gu Hengsheng to help him work: "You kid will help me work first, and then I will help you build a thatched house, so that there will be no shelter from the wind and rain at night." ”

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Gu Hengsheng has not fulfilled his filial piety for thousands of years, and now that he is back, let the old man toss! As long as the old man is safe and sound, Gu Hengsheng will be satisfied.

So, the Floating Emperor, who was above the Nine Heavens, changed into a gray coarse linen robe, held a hoe in his hand, and went to work in the fields with the old man.

The second uncle Gu Wumo was not idle, and went to the mountains to collect materials to build a house.

After all, Gu Hengsheng is his nephew, and he can't let Gu Hengsheng have no place to stay at night.

What's more important is that Gu Hengsheng's thatched house has not been built for a day, and the second uncle can only sleep in the same room as the old man, how uncomfortable it is! Li Qiurou was very obedient and went to the nearby field with her aunt to pick vegetables, chatting about the past, talking and laughing.

"Stinky boy, old man, I heard about you and Rou Yatou's child, and now it's famous, it's amazing! It's a pity that the old man can't see my great-grandson with his own eyes. ”

The old man said while hoeing the ground, very regretful.

"That child was born extraordinary, and his life was full of disasters.

In fact, he also wants to see you, but he is afraid of bringing disaster. ”

Gu Hengsheng sighed lightly, if he had a choice, he would rather his child be an ordinary person and not need to shoulder so many responsibilities.

It's just that since Gu Xiujie is the emperor, he is destined to be born high, and he also needs to bear the corresponding responsibility.

"That kid's name is Xiu Jie!"

Although the old man lived in seclusion here and was not born, the juniors of the clan would occasionally come and tell him what was happening outside.

"Well, his name is Gu Xiujie."

Gu Hengsheng temporarily put down the work in his hand and chuckled: "The child's name was taken by my senior brother. ”

"A great name."

The old man smiled kindly: "If I, a bad old man, have a chance in the future, I will have to see the gentlemen of the Floating Tomb with my own eyes." ”

"Definitely."

Gu Hengsheng believes that his senior brothers and sisters must also want to meet their relatives.

"I've been digging this land for thousands of years, and after a long time, I have feelings."

The old man threw a few vegetable seeds into the pit and gently stroked the land.

"Grandpa, your old life is quite good, and you yearn for it."

Gu Hengsheng felt that this simple life was also very good, away from the intrigues of the world, and calmly enjoyed the years to come.

"That's up to you to see if you can survive it."

The old man Gu Cang was like an old man, tired and sweaty: "At the beginning, when your uncle first came, he often wanted to use cultivation to be lazy.

After being beaten a few times by the old man, I slowly became honest.

Until now, your second uncle has been immersed in this kind of life, and it has a unique flavor. ”

"Old man, are you really always coarse and don't plan to pay attention to the outside world?"

Gu Hengsheng suddenly thought that his state of mind level was actually not as good as his own old man, was this just an illusion?

"The outside world is disturbed, what does it have to do with the old man."

The old man sat directly on the ground, took a deep look at Gu Hengsheng, and looked back on the past years: "Thinking back to the past, the old man has been on the horse field for more than 60 years, and the golden iron horse is dominant.

The old man has been in the limelight, at least in the dynasty of that year, under one person and above ten thousand.

Later, after going through many hardships, the old man realized that what he yearned for most was this kind of peaceful life.

Isn't it a blessing to be an ordinary person? ”

"If you don't have enough strength, ordinary people can't even protect themselves and the people they care about, how can they get the life they want?"

Gu Hengsheng was silent for a long time, looked at the old man, and asked.

"People...... Why?

And why did he die? ”

For thousands of years, the old man has been thinking about this question.

Why did he come to this world, since he came empty-handed, he left empty-handed.

So, what's the point of him coming into this world?

Sometimes the old man thinks that even if the world is really destroyed, he will not have the slightest fear and uneasiness, or even accept it with a flat face.

"If the old man does not have enough strength, he is bullied, beaten, scolded, used, and finally dies tragically, then it is also the old man's own cause and effect.

In this world, there are always a large number of people living at the bottom, and they all have their own beliefs and motivation to live, so they can grit their teeth and stand up. ”

"The meaning of the old man's life now is to live this ordinary life.

As for other responsibilities and interests, they have nothing to do with the old man. ”

The old man rested and began to hoe.

Gu Hengsheng remained silent, didn't say a word, and fell into deep thought.

The words that the old man said touched Gu Hengsheng's heart a little.

The old man continued to do farm work, looked up at the sky, and said softly, "It's still early, let's go out for a walk!" ”

"What do you mean, old man?"

Gu Hengsheng asked subconsciously.

"In your heart, there is still the shadow of her.

Either marry back, or go and make it clear, don't keep it suppressed in your heart, it's not good for a long time. ”

The old man glanced at Gu Hengsheng, and seemed to have seen through Gu Hengsheng's heart.

Suddenly, Gu Hengsheng knew who the old man was talking about.

Originally, Gu Hengsheng was still hesitating whether to go and see that person.

However, Gu Hengsheng didn't want to disrupt that person's rhythm of life because of his appearance, which was not fair to Li Qiurou.

"Go ahead! I won't leave you food in the evening, and the old man will make it clear to the girl. ”

The old man waved his hand and asked Gu Hengsheng not to be so grinding.

Gu Hengsheng bowed to the old man, put down the hoe in his hand, and walked all the way.

According to what the old man said, Gu Hengsheng didn't plan to use cultivation here.

When he left this quiet place, Gu Hengsheng only took ten miles and leisurely came to the bustling streets of the city.

With his memory, Gu Hengsheng saw the attic not far away.
