The ancestral land of the Ruan family, in Jizhou.

The Changli slope in this capital is the territory assigned to the Ruan family by the emperor a long time ago, which is used to bury the dead of the Ruan family and build a clothing mound.

The fate of the Ruan family seems to have been planned from birth, and even when they die, they have arranged the burial place clearly.

Ruan Cixi thought that one day, it would be great if she could take these Ruan family members back to Jizhou, which she hadn't set foot in for a long time.

Fallen leaves want to return to their roots.

"Grandpa said that before his mother died, he said that he would be buried with his father." Ruan Cixi took the umbrella in Chi Chun's hand and asked Chi Chun to use it alone, without holding an umbrella for her.

"But Daddy isn't here at all." Ruan Cixi came to the grave of her parents, Chi Dong had already prepared everything, temporarily built a shed, and put all the paper money and the like under the shed to prevent the rain from getting wet.

"Grandpa said that before my mother took her breath, she held the belt that she hadn't had time to embroider for her father."

"Before my father died, my mother was embroidering, and after my father died, I was born, and my mother couldn't embroider it."

"My mother's embroidery is the best in the capital."

Ruan Cixi didn't know who she was talking to, she just wanted to talk, she didn't have to talk to her, just let her finish.

Chi Chun and Chi Dong were both guarding behind Ruan Cixi, silent.

Ruan Jingtian would bring Ruan Cixi here every year, and every year he would talk to Ruan Cixi about a lot of things about her parents, and over time, Ruan Cixi had a delusion.

In fact, she is also a child who has been taken care of by her parents.

"Father, mother, daughter is not filial."

"Don't you think it's strange that your daughter didn't take good care of her grandfather? Why didn't grandpa come this year, is there something wrong? ”

"I'm sorry, grandpa is gone, Cixi can't find grandpa, but Cixi is looking for grandpa very hard, don't be angry, don't worry."

"Cixi will definitely bring grandpa back safely."

"When the time comes, will you and your grandfather come to see you?"

"Cixi also asks for the spirit of my father and mother's relatives in the sky, bless my grandfather, okay?"

"Cixi is really the only grandfather left......"

Ruan Cixi's eyes were very dry, not a single tear was born, she kept talking, but she didn't know what she was saying.

After a long time, the paper money that was brought was burned by Ruan Cixi, and she seemed to come back to her senses, looking at the ashes in the basin in a daze.

Ruan Cixi knelt in front of the tomb for a long time, silent and silent, and the oil-paper umbrella she brought was also put aside by her.

She just knelt like this, kneeling in the rain, kneeling in front of the grave.

Heaven and earth are silent, except for the sound of rain falling.

After a long time, just when Chi Chun was worried that Ruan Cixi would be drenched and couldn't help but want to remind him, a "creak" sound sounded when a branch was stepped on.

In such a quiet environment, any movement will be infinitely amplified.

Ruan Cixi was also shocked, and his gaze subconsciously moved over.

It was a young man, his aqua blue robe was embroidered with strange dark lines, and the umbrella he was holding in his hand had a clean and plain face, and nothing was painted, but the exposed handle of the umbrella was engraved with the same pattern as his robe.

Chi Chun and Chi Dong also noticed this uninvited guest, Chi Chun had surprise and a little wariness in his eyes, but Chi Dong looked at the young man's face, but he had some familiarity.

Only Ruan Cixi had a look of shock in his eyes that was difficult to hide.
