Zhong Tiande sat on the chair in the main hall, picked up the teacup, looked at Zhong Bai's left and right hands holding Zhong Lei and Zhong Yu, and looked at him with a smile on his face. Zhong Tiande looked around, but when he didn't see Qiu An'an, he asked Zhong Bai's family, "Why didn't you see An An?" Zhong Bai's smile stopped abruptly, thinking about it and laughing faintly again, unnatural laughter, "Master, you just came back......" Zhong Bai's wanted to speak and stopped, and when he was thinking about how to continue speaking, Zhong Yu could no longer suppress the grievances and pain in his heart, and suddenly rushed to Zhong Tiande, and cried out heartbreakingly, "Dad, Mom is dead......

"What, what...... An An, ...... dead" The teacup in Zhong Tiande's hand fell to the ground and fell to pieces, looking at something blankly like a lost soul, and no longer spoke. The hot tea splashed on Zhong Yu's body, Zhong Baishi saw this and hurriedly went over to hug Zhong Yu while patting his head to comfort him, while wiping his clothes with a handkerchief. Zhong Yu's ears were Zhong Bai's concerned questions over and over again, asking him if it hurt and where it hurt...... However, Zhong Yu didn't answer a word, because he didn't seem to feel the burning pain at all, and at this moment, he was like Zhong Tiande, lost his soul and lost his words......

Zhong Tiande and Zhong Bai's have always respected each other, although Zhong Tiande wanted to make up Qiu An'an's funeral, but because Zhong Bai's had already taken care of Qiu An'an's funeral, and there were no mistakes, he had no reason to make up for it. Qiu An'an's death, Yu Zhong's family is also like the usual days spent in flowing water, nothing special, and no one will remember it after it has passed. The person was buried, the funeral was over, and it ended here, as if Zhong Tiande and Zhong Yu's obsession seemed out of place. So one day, the only people who can come to the cemetery to visit Qiu An'an seem to be this incompatible father and son.

Zhong Tiande took Zhong Yu's hand and walked into the cemetery, and stopped next to a tombstone engraved with the words "Qiu Yunwen", "Yu'er, do you know who Qiu Yunwen is?" "Yes, it's Mom." Zhong Yu stared at the words on the tombstone and replied firmly. "It turns out that you already know ......" Zhong Tiande nodded with relief, and his eyes slowly became filled with guilt, "Yu'er, dad is sorry for your mother and son." Before I married your mother, your grandmother hired a fortune teller to measure your mother's birthday. The fortune teller said that your mother is a maid, her name is too prominent, and her fate carries a bad luck and bad luck. ”

"So, is Mom's name someone else's?" Zhong Yu looked at Zhong Tiande with unstaggering eyes, he just wanted to know the answer, but he never thought that he saw unprecedented pain and humiliation in Zhong Tiande's eyes. Zhong Tiande was silent for a long time, and finally spoke when he couldn't hold back the tears that flowed down, "Your grandmother hopes that the fortune teller can find a name for your mother that can get rid of bad luck, and your grandmother raised a puppy named An An at that time...... The fortune teller said that if your mother called the name of the puppy, all bad luck and bad luck would be washed away. In order not to affect the fortunes of the Zhong family, even if your mother dies in the future, you can't be buried with your real name, and the portrait ranking is not allowed in the ancestral hall...... After hearing these words, I didn't even have the courage to refute for your mother, ha, Dad is very afraid of grandma...... I'm even more afraid that I will really be killed. For my sake, your mother said yes. For more than ten years, I have known that every time she is called Qiu An'an, it is a great humiliation......"

Zhong Tiande squatted down, stroked the words on the tombstone, and burst into tears, "Yu'er, fate is really an inscrutable thing, Dad originally thought that it was an ordinary thing to marry according to his parents' orders and then determine his life." However, on the day I married your aunt, I saw a woman standing next to her, and she handed me the flask she was holding in her hand and asked me to pour wine for the bride, and at that moment, I fell in love with that woman. At that moment, Dad fell in love with your mother...... Dad, it's useless. This mound is the only thing Dad can do for your mother. Dad is telling you this because he wants you to know what a great woman your mother was. Also, when you grow up in the future, don't be cowardly like me, don't behave like me, Dad has too many things that can't be done, and he is a pedantic and incompetent person. I hope that Yu'er can become a real man......"

Zhong Yu didn't speak, he just looked at Zhong Tiande, his eyes were quiet and no longer looked at a child, it seemed to be a faint scrutiny, and it seemed to be a helpless silence. Zhong Yu has too much powerlessness, wants his mother to come back to life, wants Zhong Tiande to stop being so sad, and wants to become an adult all of a sudden...... After all, he was still powerless, Zhong Yu could only slowly lean forward at this moment, kneel down and kowtow in front of the tombstone, and melt all the unwillingness and determination into his fingertips, into his pupils, and into the deepest memory......

Zhong Tiande was bedridden for several days in a row, and after a few days, he became emaciated and emaciated. After taking a few pairs of medicines and gaining some energy, you locked yourself in the study alone and didn't go out for a few days. The doctor repeatedly explained that although Zhong Tiande could get out of bed and walk around, he couldn't be sloppy if he hurt his heart and lungs. Zhong Bai's family was anxious about Zhong Tiande's body, and kept begging outside the door, but Zhong Tiande was still unwilling to open the door. Zhong Baishi was helpless, and he could only rely on Zhong Tiande, just hoping that one day he would figure it out, maybe he would come out and gradually forget Qiu An'an.

No one knows what Zhong Tiande is doing when he locks himself in the study, there are all kinds of speculations, but no one has ever guessed correctly, Zhong Tiande is alone in the study, just painting. One by one, one by one, constantly painting Qiu An'an......

A few days passed, and the ground and table were covered with Qiu An'an's portraits. Zhong Tiande held a wine jug in one hand and a brush in the other, and while coughing and pouring wine into his mouth, he trembled and put the pen on the portrait on the rice paper, sad, "Yun Wu, I don't do anything every day, I just draw your portrait." I was thinking that maybe you would come out of a painting and see me...... I am already a person with a dead heart, and I will not be in this world for a few days, you are gone, I can let go of anything......" Zhong Tiande coughed suddenly, the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, and he sprayed a mouthful of blood on the portrait. Zhong Tiande lay on the ground, trying his best to reach out and grab the fragments of the wine jug, "The wine jug was handed to me by you, and it was handed to me when I first met you...... You have left me, can't you even leave me our last memorial...... Isn't it too cruel for you to leave me alone? Since you don't come to see me, what ...... Let...... I'll go find you......" Zhong Tiande finally grabbed a fragment, he held the fragment and lay on the painting, stroked Qiu An'an's face on the painting, and slowly closed his eyes with satisfaction......

After Zhong Tiande's funeral, Zhong Yu came to the door of the ancestral hall alone at night with a flapped wine jug, thinking that he would only be alone at this time, but saw that Zhong Bai had come to the ancestral hall before him. I saw Zhong Bai kneeling in front of Zhong Tiande's tablet and saying these things. Zhong Yu turned around and quietly stuck to the edge of the door frame......

Zhong Bai knelt close to Zhong Tiande's tablet, as if his body had lost the strength to support it in an instant, and sat on the ground crying, "Master, just forgive me for my sins." Zhong Bai couldn't cry anymore, but she still persevered, wiped away her tears, and knelt down again, "I keep telling myself to get along with my sister well, but I'm really jealous when I see you love her so much." That's why I got lost that day, because you weren't there, so I wanted to put down my burden and be selfish. I'm also a woman, and I'm not convinced when I see a woman who separates her husband. But I really didn't expect to kill you. I will atone for my sister, Ah Yu will be my biological son in the future, I have asked him to call me Mom, I will treat him well. But there's one thing you must forgive me......"

Zhong Baishi straightened up and stood up slowly, although there were still tears in her eyes, she had no guilt and guilt, she looked down at Zhong Tiande's tablet, and spoke again, "Master, I want to hand over the family's business to Lei'er, and I want to hand over the Zhong family to our son and my son...... It can only be left to Lei'er alone. I'll send Ah Yu to Japan to study so that he won't get involved in the family's business, and I swear I'll be selfish for the last time. When Ah Yu comes back and let Lei'er take care of him, I promise that he will have no worries about food and clothing......"

Zhong Yu pressed his body tightly against the door panel, and covered his mouth tightly with his palm, for fear that his sobbing sound would attract Zhong Bai's attention and be discovered by her. Zhong Yu only felt that he was too stupid, since he was a child, he relied on Zhong Bai's family, respected Zhong Bai's family, and even felt complacent about having two mothers who loved him from time to time. Zhong Yu knew since he was a child that he was not the eldest son, and he should not compete with Zhong Lei in everything, so he didn't complain, he was willing. On the one hand, he follows the teachings of his biological mother in his bones, and the second son should have the duty of the second son; On the other hand, he enjoyed Zhong Bai's love for him, and felt that there was nothing wrong with being content with such love, and there was nothing wrong with going on like this......

However, Zhong Bai's words in the ancestral hall completely crushed Zhong Yu, he had already known his mistake, the fault was that he didn't recognize Zhong Bai's earlier, and let his mother die with hatred, but he didn't want to, just understanding this one thing is his big mistake...... At this moment, Zhong Yu secretly determined, the self who did not fight or rob, had been buried with his mother, and since then, he has changed his bones and blood, frozen his heart and spleen, and will no longer be the former Zhong Yu. At this moment, he is no longer the Zhong Yu he used to be......

Zhong Bai walked out of the ancestral hall crying, and it was not until she was far away that Zhong Yu walked into the ancestral hall.

Zhong Yu held the wine jug in his hand and looked at Zhong Tiande's tablet quietly, "Dad, this wine jug is your baby, I glued it to you." I didn't stick it well, and I could still see that there were cracks on it, but even if I made it as beautiful as before, there would still be cracks in this pot...... I've done, I've done my best. I'm going to study in a place called Japan, and Uncle Li said it's a far away place...... It doesn't matter how far away it is, I'll be back...... I'll come back when I'm older, and when I'm older, I'll do the things you can't do for you. If Dad can't do it, I'll do it. Certain. With that, Zhong Yu put the wine jug in front of Zhong Tiande's spiritual seat, knelt down and kowtowed, got up and left.

As he drifted away, Zhong Yu's eyes were not as clear as before, or rather, they had completely lost their former clarity, covered with a layer of vicissitudes and complexities that did not match his age, as if he had grown up in an instant, and thousands of thoughts were hidden in his heart from now on, and no one could see through it anymore. As he walked away, Zhong Yu's figure disappeared into the dark night like a moonlit wind that did not linger in the moonlight......
