Chapter 31: Su Mei and Ye Sijin

The fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn

Life looks very short, but compared to the fungus that dies in the twilight, it is very long. Even compared to cockroaches that can only survive one summer, it is very long.

When Liu Changan saw Qin Peng, he felt that he had lived long enough, but most of the time, he would have another way to measure time.

If we convert 100 million years into adult years, the Big Bang occurred 130 years ago, the first stars and the Milky Way appeared about 120 years ago, the sun and the solar system appeared forty or fifty years ago, the first living organisms appeared forty years ago, the dinosaurs became extinct about seven or eight months and weeks ago, the so-called evolution of Homo sapiens in Africa occurred eight or nine hours ago, the earliest agricultural boom occurred fifty minutes ago, the earliest recorded cities appeared half an hour and a minute ago, the modern industrial revolution happened one minute ago, the First World War happened about twenty seconds ago, and as for the various world events that followedIt's just the last ten seconds of what happened.

Liu Changan and Qin Peng were only missing for a few seconds.

But Qin Peng is already white-headed, not everyone's time measurement unit is the same as Liu Changan, for ordinary people, there is no point in changing the time measurement unit.

Liu Changan looked at Qin Peng, his hair was already sparse and silvery, neatly combed and fit the scalp, but he could also see the age spots on the scalp directly from between the hair, the skin was not too dry and lifeless, only thin muscles under the skin were attached to the bones, and there was too much vicissitudes of twilight in his eyes, but he straightened his body, and was not dominated by the fear of imminent death, and there was still a strength in his spirit.

Liu Changan held his thin palm and smiled.

"It's been more than seventy years...... Qin Peng still remembers clearly, and his other hand patted Liu Changan's arm heavily, "You did it, you ...... You do it, you ......"

Liu Changan didn't explain anything, and gently stroked Qin Peng's back, allowing him to smooth his breath.

"Come, come. ”

Qin Peng wiped his muddy tears, grabbed Liu Changan's hand tightly, and pulled him towards the study.

Qin Peng likes camellia, and the old camellia in this yard is said to be from the early twentieth century, cut and planted, intertwined, and it is not clear whether it was planted later or the old roots branched, spreading in the courtyard behind the patio.

Qin Peng's study was behind the camellia garden, and Liu Changan saw that there was a pair of words written on the wall: Camellia is glorious with snow, with the bones of pine and cypress, and the posture of peach and plum. Its shallowness is like powder and fat, like the cheeks of a beauty, like the face of a drinker, and its depth is also ......

This is a paragraph in "Idle Love", there didn't seem to be so many camellias in the courtyard of the Qin family before, just a little bit, and it couldn't become a garden, but Ye Sijin had raised some camellias, and he neglected to take care of them.

Qin Peng's pace is slow, but it is very steady, and there is probably no problem with his body in a short period of time, otherwise it is generally impossible for him to be allowed to walk around alone with people for a long time at will at his age and status.

When he came to the study, Liu Changan saw an oil painting hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but be fascinated.

"I painted it twenty-eight years ago. Qin Peng sighed softly.

Of course, the creation of oil paintings and photographic photos are different, Qin Peng in the picture is already dying, Ye Sijin is dressed in military uniform, and he is full of spirit, but Ye Chenyu is a little unable to see the age, and the figure is not as detailed and clear as the other two, there is a hazy feeling, Ye Sijin and Qin Peng compare a feeling of time passing, and the rest of the person seems to be out of time.

"Many paintings and calligraphy works not only condense a person's spirit, but also have a once-in-a-lifetime flash of inspiration, such as the Qingming moment of the Lingtai after the initiation, to make a masterpiece, just like Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", it will not be able to write it if you write it at another time. Liu Changan admired it very much, "This painting is probably the same for you." ”

"I was a little dazed at the time, and I thought of Sister Jin and you. Qin Peng stood under the oil painting and pointed to himself, "I'm a little older than then." ”

Liu Changan didn't comment again, just looked at the three people in the oil painting...... When human beings learned to carve traces on sand, rocks, and wood to paint, Liu Changan had painted his own appearance on the rock wall of the cave, but it seems that it was not until the invention of the camera that he had a truly clear and credible appearance left in the world, and even then there are very few, probably there is a little in the archives of Xiangda, and the identity of Ye Chenyu is only recorded by Qin Peng.

"I heard that you have a girlfriend who is eighteen years old. Qin Peng looked at Liu Changan and seemed to be smiling.

Even Liu Changan has embarrassing times.

"yes, the same age as me. Liu Changan still nodded as usual, embarrassment is just a psychological state, and it may not necessarily be expressed.

Qin Peng raised his head and laughed.

"Don't do that, wait a minute, burp. Liu Changan feigned anger and helped Qin Peng to sit down, a person who is more than a hundred years old, he is overjoyed, angry, and laughing, and he hurts his body, don't you know?

"I've seen photos of girls, and I feel a little similar to Su Mei when I was a teenager, is it because of this reason?" Qin Peng stopped smiling, but he didn't really think there was anything wrong, his brother was already very human, and he naturally did extraordinary things.

Liu Changan shook his head, not wanting to talk to Qin Peng about An Nuan, "Su Mei on Taiwan Island is not Su Mei, it's Su Xiaocui, do you know?"

Qin Peng was stunned, raised his hand in surprise, and motioned to hand over the tea, and then realized who he was facing, patted his leg, and wanted to stand up, but was pressed on the shoulder by Liu Changan, and Liu Changan made tea.

Qin Peng took it with both hands, frowned, and seemed to be digesting the news brought by Liu Changan, and then took a sip of tea, pursed his lips for a while before saying, "I don't have much to worry about, I really don't know this." ”

Although the Zhu family was invited by the Qin family to come back to the mainland to invest, and the business of the Zhu family was also greeted by Qin Peng in the mainland, Qin Peng and Su Xiaocui had frequent phone calls, but the two were old, whether Qin Peng ran to Taiwan Island or Su Xiaocui went to the mainland, it was difficult to decide, because people of this age have been tired for a long time, maybe they will return to the West with a little problem, and no one can afford this responsibility, maybe it will become a political event, causing countless conspiracies and public opinion.

"Su Mei may not be dead, hiding behind the scenes. ”

"Sister Mei is still like this...... Thinking about it, she was the one who could make the decision to go to Taiwan Island back then, if Su Xiaocui made her own decisions, she would definitely not have this determination. Qin Peng thought for a while and nodded, "If she didn't run away back then, thinking about taking care of the old days, I would have to go and raid their garden in person." ”

"You went to raid people's homes, and you still took care of the old days?"

"The general trend is inevitable, and no one is immune to it. It's just that I try to watch it myself, at least the people in their family won't suffer too much...... But I can't control it later. Qin Peng sighed, "You are an immortal who has lost all your family wealth and is not in the world, Sister Mei is a more traditional woman after all, for women, family is always more important than the country, she is not a heroine like Sister Jin after all." ”

"She also contributed a lot back then, and she also contributed to your efforts, don't forget. ”

Of course, we still define her as a patriotic capitalist, and now the bamboo family is unimpeded in the mainland, which is the return of the year. Qin Peng smiled, "The third girl of the younger generation of the Zhu family happens to be eighteen years old. ”

Liu Changan just didn't hear him laugh at his eldest brother.

"If Su Mei is still alive, I'm afraid that she will be old, otherwise she won't hide behind the scenes. Qin Peng knew Su Mei's heart very well, "She still thinks about you, and she doesn't want to be seen by you when she is old...... Even if she doesn't know where you are, will she see her. ”

"I can't say exactly. ”

"Yes, exactly. Qin Peng nodded meaningfully, and then looked up at the oil painting he had painted.

Liu Changan also followed his gaze and fell on the oil painting and on Ye Sijin's face.

"Back then, Sister Jin and I used our identities as husband and wife as a cover in order to carry out the mission, don't you know about this matter?"

Liu Changan turned his head to look at Qin Peng, and in an instant, many thoughts and speculations based on this were turned around.
