Half an hour later.

Ning Ke appeared in an old town on the outskirts of Yuecheng, this area had been expropriated, almost most of the people had moved away, it was dark, there was no light.

She walked into the alley according to the address, the bluestone street that had just rained was a little slippery, she walked on it with her mobile phone, the shadow was clearly reflected on the ground, I don't know why, she actually had a feeling of traveling through a time and space tunnel.

The wind in the early morning was a little cold, she silently wrapped her windbreaker, quickened her pace through the long alley, and then came to an antique house.

In front of the house hung two big red lanterns, swaying in the night wind, emitting a strange light.

Ning Ke shuddered, and bent his neck to knock on the mottled red door.

"Excuse me, ...... someone"

"Squeak!"

Almost at the same time, as soon as she spoke, the door opened, revealing a youthful face.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in red, with two braids, tied with red ropes, looking very smart, but also revealing a strange atmosphere.

She smiled at Ning Ke, just revealing two cute tiger teeth, "You were a little earlier than grandma expected!"

"You know I'm coming?" Ning Ke looked at her and was a little apprehensive, and instinctively took a step back, "You also replied to the post I made?"

The girl in red smiled: "Yes, I usually go to these supernatural websites when I have nothing to do, and if there is a suitable business, I will take it for my grandmother." ”

Ning Ke frowned, it seemed a little surprised that this girl in red would say this, in her heart, people with this kind of ability should not be looking for business on the Internet like this, right?

Seeing the doubts on her face, the girl in red burst out laughing, "Don't get me wrong, grandma's transaction is never money, but something else." Grandma already knows about you, if you need help, come in, but if you don't believe it, you can leave, we don't force anyone. ”

Someone exposed his heart, Ning Ke's face showed a look of shame, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you, it's just ...... I think it's all so weird. After a pause, she bit her lip and added: "However, since you know about me, you must also have this ability, since I am here, I will naturally not leave." ”

"Haha! Grandma is right again, you really won't leave. The girl in red laughed again, she seemed to really like to laugh, the corners of her mouth were shallow, and it looked sweeter, and the strange feeling dissipated a lot.

Ning Ke followed her in, but she didn't let Ning Ke look around, just told Ning Ke to look at the bluestone bricks under her feet, what was going on around Ning Ke, Ning Ke didn't know at all, until she entered an old house, the girl in red asked Ning Ke to raise her head.

"You're finally here. ”

On the cushion in front of her sat a white-haired old woman, who squinted at Ning Ke with cloudy eyes, and a deep smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

Ning Ke stared at her and said vigilantly, "How do you know?

"You don't care who I am, you just need to know that I can help you fulfill your wishes. The old woman laughed.

Ning Ke stared at her for a long time, she also looked at Ning Ke indifferently, and after a few minutes, Ning Ke turned her eyes away and asked, "How can I go back there!"

"Have you thought about it?" the old woman narrowed, "Can you give up everything here for love?"

Ning Ke frowned, "I ......" She bit her lip and raised her head and asked, "I want to ask, can I still come back if I go back?"

In Ning Ke's heart, her parents are also very important, and if she can, she hopes that she can come back to see them.

Before the old grandmother could speak, the girl in red laughed, "This sister, are you joking? Do you think it's that easy? Do you know how many people will have such an opportunity? Do you know what will happen if grandma sends you back? If you go back there, don't think about coming back!"

Even though he was already prepared in his heart, Ning Ke was still a little disappointed when he heard such an answer.

"Well, then I have to think about ......"

"You don't have to rush to answer, I'll be waiting for you here at the same time in three days. The old woman said.

Ning Ke looked up at her and asked, "What do I need in exchange?"

"That's something you can afford, of course. The old lady smiled, and with a gesture of her dry hand, the girl in red immediately walked over and helped her up.

Ning Ke found out that the old grandmother was blind!

The old grandmother looked up at her and smiled meaningfully, "You're so smart, I think you already know." ”

Ning Ke pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

"Huh. The old woman smiled, "I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

Ning Ke bowed deeply to the old woman, and then left. When she went out, the girl in red still didn't let her look around, just allowed her to stare at her feet.

Ning Ke didn't think about snooping too much, she pretended to be on her mind, and walked out unconsciously, the girl in red didn't know when she left, and when she came back to her senses, she was already outside the alley.

"Ke'er, it's really you!"

A familiar voice sounded suddenly, Ning Ke looked up, and saw Bai Cang running over in a hurry, she frowned, "Why are you here?"

Bai Cang looked her up and down, and was relieved to find that there was nothing wrong with her, "I also want to ask why you are here! This is the construction site, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing, just a friend. Ning Ke crossed him in a very light tone.

Bai Cang chased after him, "It's all ruins here, how can your friend live here!"

"My friend lives here, right in the alley!" Ning Ke stopped a little impatiently, and said in a slightly impulsive tone: "If you like to be nosy so much, if you think there is a problem, then go and have a look!"

"Ke'er ......"

"If nothing else, I'll go back first!" Ning Ke dropped a sentence and left in a hurry.

Bai Cang frowned, and looked back at the place where Ning Ke had just walked out—there was no alley!

For the next three days, Ning Ke was very busy.

She didn't listen to her parents' obstruction, went back to work directly, handed over all the work at hand before, and never cared about wages and other benefits, she rarely went to talk to personnel, took all the money she could withdraw, and invited her work partners to have a meal by the way.

Everyone thought she was a little abnormal, she was cold and indifferent before, and suddenly she was hospitable, which made people unaccustomed to it, and she explained that she figured out a lot of things after a serious illness. Everyone also thought it made sense, so they didn't dig into it.

In addition to work, she goes home as soon as she gets off work, she hardly cooks, but these days, she will go home early every day to buy vegetables, cook breakfast and wake up her parents, and she will pack it at noon and night.

Ning's mother was very happy at first, you must know that after raising Ning Ke for so many years, it was the first time she felt that her daughter was so humane, but when she slowly came back to her senses, she felt that something was wrong.

How is it that these actions are not like filial piety, but like compensation before saying goodbye?

After eating in the evening, Ning's mother pulled Ning Ke into the room and asked her nervously, "Nannan, tell me honestly, what's wrong with you, why are you so strange in the past two days?"

"Mom, what are you thinking! I just want to honor you. Ning Ke snuggled in her mother's arms with disgust, the familiar fragrance of laundry detergent made her extremely relieved, and at the same time extremely sad, this embrace, maybe she will never be able to rely on it again, and it will be less than once a day.

Ning Mu frowned, "But it's not like you......"

"Haven't I enlightened after a serious illness!" Ning Ke smiled: "Could it be that you would rather I ignore you?"

"Not really. ”

"Isn't that enough? You're just thinking too much, you don't know that this will make women age quickly!"

"Hey...... You're right, I can't talk about you. ”

"Haha...... Mom, it's not early, go to bed early! I'll invite Bai Cang over for dinner tomorrow, and I'm going to get up early to buy groceries!"

When Mother Ning heard that she invited Bai Cang over, she was overjoyed, "Oh, that's good! You young people, don't be too conservative, your feelings are cultivated! Mom won't disturb your beauty sleep!" After speaking, she stood up and went out happily.

The smile on Ning Ke's face immediately stepped down, she fell on the bed, covered her face with the quilt, and cried silently for a long time......

The next night, Bai Cang arrived as promised, and Ning's father and mother were very happy as if they had seen their son-in-law.

Ning Ke was also rarely enthusiastic, he talked a lot with Bai Cang, and even bought gifts, Bai Cang should have been happy, but he was sensitive to what was wrong, and his heart was heavy, so he couldn't be happy.

After the meal, he took a chance to ask her what was going on, and she just smiled and replied, "It's nothing! Thank you for always helping me, and I hope you can help me continue to take care of my parents in my absence." ”

"Why are you not here?, where are you going?" Bai Cang sensitively grasped the key words and became nervous.

The smile on the corner of Ning Ke's mouth froze for a moment, "Eh, I don't have anywhere to go! I mean, sometimes I will be very busy with work, and I may go out for a long time." If there is something wrong with my parents at that time, I hope you can help them. ”

"Ke'er, I think you're a little wrong......"

"You're thinking too much, I'm fine!" Ning Ke laughed and snorted, no longer responding to the question.

One night, the atmosphere at home was very good, talking and laughing, and the house was full of laughter.

Ning Ke looked at her parents' happy smiles, her nose was so sour that she wanted to cry, but she couldn't let them see it, so she could only endure it and force a smile.

When Bai Cang left, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, Ning Ke personally sent him out, and when he came back, his parents were already asleep.

She sat in the living room for a long time, recalling the things from childhood to adulthood over and over again, looking at every corner of the house, she felt that her heart was about to be torn into countless pieces, and she couldn't breathe in pain.

Tonight, she is leaving, and from now on, she will never see her parents again, and she will never be able to do it again in this life!

I can't imagine what my parents would be like, how sad and lonely they would be without her......

The tears that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be stopped, and they flowed down in an uproar, and she covered her eyes with her hands, and the tears fell from her fingers, and her skirt was soaked.

She didn't know how long she had been crying, until a message came from her phone, and she wiped away her tears and stood up.

It's almost time, and it's time for her to go find the old woman.

If love and family affection can only choose one, she can only choose love. What she owes to her parents can only be repaid in the next life.

Softly opening the door of her parents' room, she walked in and sat at the head of the bed, deeply remembering the faces of both parents, and she spoke softly in her heart.

"I'm sorry, mom and dad, my daughter is not filial, so I can only compensate you in the next life. ”

Stay for a moment longer, and you will be reluctant to give up.

She gritted her teeth, forced herself to twist her head, and went out the door as fast as she could, leaving the house without looking back!

And at the moment when she went out, Ning's father and mother both opened their eyes in unison, and their eyes were full of tears.

"She's really leaving...... She really wants to go!" Ning Mu first sobbed lowly, and finally cried uncontrollably.

With tears in his eyes, Father Ning gently patted her back, "Don't cry, she is looking for her own happiness, we should be happy for her." ”

"Yes, we should fulfill her...... It's really hard for her these days. "As a parent, how can you not know what your child is trying to write?

In the days when she was in a coma, she kept calling the man who was "Chu Junyue", and after waking up, she was always in a trance, and everyone could see that she was unhappy.

Later, Bai Cang came quietly and explained to them that Ning Ke went to find the goddess, and they probably understood.

Even in this era of advanced technology, the fact that the time travel seems bizarre, it does not mean that it does not exist.

Since she already had her own happiness in that time and space, why should she be hindered as a parent? As long as she lived well, everything was enough.

And at the same moment, in a car downstairs at Ning Ke's house.

Bai Cang silently watched Ning Ke leave, until he couldn't see it, he still maintained that watchful posture, and what he held tightly in his hand was the "last words" she recorded for him.

Those distant memories floated up little by little, and he had burst into tears unconsciously, thousands of years ago, she didn't belong to him, and thousands of years later, she still didn't belong to him.

Maybe that's fate.

Ke'er, may you be happy.

Your concern, I will do it for you.
