Zhang Zifeng owes two women in his life.

As the god of wine said, people like them, who are in tune with the times, are not worthy of feelings.

Because that's a luxury for them.

For forty years, Zhang Zifeng is obviously still alive, but where will he go?

This question was entrusted to Bai Jiannan by Zhang Xueqian when she was about to come to an end of her life.

Bai Jiannan has thought about many places, and he has also been to many places.

Only one day, a package suddenly appeared in his office without warning.

Bai Jiannan, who was puzzled, opened the package, only to see that it was a few ordinary dried fish.

And there was a letter next to the dried fish, and the few words really surprised Bai Jiannan.

It reads like this.

"I used to think that the only thing I could do to protect the people around me was to move forward bravely, shelter them from the wind and rain alone, and cut them out, but after going through a lot of things, I realized that the best companionship only needs companionship, nothing more."

Bai Jiannan rushed out of the building and looked around, and finally he saw a back, a dark-skinned man with a stiff head, and a wrinkled yellow and white shirt.

The man was slender and his smile was full of tenderness for the world.

He looks young, but his temperament is as calm as an old man.

At this moment, he was holding a black box in his arms, and he was sitting on the flower platform looking at Bai Jiannan.

Bai Jiannan was slightly surprised, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he frowned, "Where have you been in the past forty years?" ”

The man stroked the black box as if he was caressing his lover, he looked directly into Bai Jiannan's eyes and said, "You are old, Bai Jiannan." ”

Bai Jiannan smiled and said, "It's been forty years, how can you not be old, but you haven't changed much except that you look a little darker, oh, by the way, your temperament is older than me." ”

For such ridicule, the man just smiled and shook his head.

Bai Jiannan took out a cigarette, but the man refused.

"It's been a long time since I've smoked after all these years."

Bai Jiannan was slightly surprised, "What happened to you all these years that you even quit smoking?" ”

"She won't let me smoke," the man smiled and stroked the black box in his arms.

Bai Jiannan glanced at the black box and found that it was an urn.

"Who is this?"

"It's her," the man said, looking at the black-and-white photo inlaid in the urn, "Shen Xixi." ”

Bai Jiannan was slightly shocked, "Could it be that you have been ...... for more than forty years?" You've been with her all the time? ”

The man said, "I once promised her that I would never leave her again, and I will accompany her through this life." ”

"No wonder I haven't seen her all these years, it's like disappearing from this world, I once deliberately asked people to look for her, has I always been with you?"

The man nodded and said, "We spent her life on an uninhabited island. ”

"But your life has no end."

The man smiled bitterly, "Yes, she also told me so, for which she often hugged me and said that she was too old to walk, and she could even fall asleep while sitting on the beach fishing with me. ”

"But you must have pampered her like a child, didn't you?"

Speaking of this, Bai Jiannan found that the once high-spirited man in front of him was now full of gentleness and quietness in his eyes, as if he had been reborn as if he had changed a person.

This change surprised Bai Jiannan, and he also sighed that the years would erase the edge of such a hard man?

No one dared to believe that he was the descendant of the Ji family, the son of the Zhang family, who saved the new era, annihilated the Martial God Temple, and suppressed the super ancient ruins.

"And what are you going to do next?" Bai Jiannan asked.

The man smiled but said nothing, and changed the subject, "I'll give you something before I leave." ”

After saying that, the man asked Bai Jiannan to stretch out his hand, and Bai Jiannan did so.

I only saw the man's eyes glowing, as if some kind of magical power was injected into Bai Jiannan's body.

"This is ......" Bai Jiannan felt a strange energy surging in his body.

This energy is different from Qi, and is even more energetic and intelligent.

"You keep this thing for me, one day in the future, a child will appear in Yanxia, if he is mature enough, you give him this thing, and he will protect Yanxia instead of me."

"Kid?" Bai Jiannan was puzzled, "Your child? ”

The man didn't speak, just patted Bai Jiannan's shoulder and walked away on the red floor of the sunset.

"Zhang Zifeng, Xue Qian, she ......" Bai Jiannan wanted to speak and stopped, "She...... She's dying, and wants to see you before she dies. ”

"Well, well," the man replied gently, and then disappeared at the end of the busy street.

Eventually, he came to the hospital and stood in front of an old woman.

Zhang Xueqian opened her eyes weakly and felt a familiar hand holding her, and she didn't need to look at it to know that it was the man.

With tears streaming down her face, she turned her head and shouted hoarsely, "Brother, you came too late, I'm too old to look good, you liar, aren't you dead." ”

Zhang Zifeng's bones were distinct, his fingers gently cleaned Zhang Xueqian's gray hair, and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Xueqian shook her head, "You should thank you, if it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't be so happy, I have Jiannan, and you?" ”

"I have you," Zhang Zifeng said.

"Brother," Zhang Xueqian looked at the man in front of her with a smile and said, "You have changed, you have become not like your former self." ”

"People change," Zhang Zifeng said.

"Brother, do you remember the tree in our hometown?"

"What's wrong?"

"That tree died, died ten years ago, I, I have been dreaming a lot lately, dreaming that my dad was standing under that tree, barefoot, smoking dry tobacco, showing his big yellow teeth when he smiled, and asked me, what about your brother, why didn't he come back."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xueqian sighed, looked at Zhang Zifeng, and said, "Guess what I said?" ”

Zhang Zifeng tightened the corners of her back for Zhang Xueqian, and said with a smile, "What did the girl say?" ”

"I'll just say, our brother is going to save the world, he's not available, Dad."

Zhang Xueqian smiled and said, "Our dad is happy like a child, and he said yes vigorously." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Zhang Zifeng, the corners of her mouth floated up, and said, "Brother, I dreamed of our dad again yesterday, I know it's time for me to go, I can see my brother for the last time before I die, I die without regrets." ”

"Go, brother will accompany you," Zhang Zifeng said calmly.

"Brother, it's still like when I was a child, can you sing and lull me to sleep?"

"Okay," Zhang Zifeng nodded.

The singing was in my ears and did not stop in the ward for a long time.

Bai Jiannan, who came from outside the door, watched all this, sat on the chair with complicated emotions, and muttered, "It's good to go, it's good to go, it's tiring for you to live, you have been worrying about others all your life, living for others." ”

That night, Zhang Zifeng walked out of the ward with Shen Xixi's ashes, and no one knew when he left, just like no one knew when he came.

Embarking on a long journey, Zhang Zifeng finally came to the bottom of a mountain.

Looking up, he suddenly laughed.

I only saw a woman on the top of the mountain, wearing a snow-white dress, looking at Zhang Zifeng and smiling.

"Are you back?" The woman smiled.

"Well, I'm back," Zhang Zifeng muttered, "I'm going home, and I'll never leave again." ”
