Chapter Twenty-Seven: Night Talk
"Coming back?" The old man Baili slowly closed the book and put it on the table, and said with a smile.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Mu Yun still couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart.
"What? Isn't my old man welcome? The old man pretended to be angry.
"No, Mu Yun didn't dare, he just didn't expect it"
The old man's eyes darkened when he heard Mu Yun's words, and he sighed and said, "Mu Yun, grandpa knows that he has neglected you all these years, you must hate me very much in your heart, right?" ”
"Where did Grandpa say, you are the head of the family, where do you have so much time to come to see me, in fact, Mu Yun knows, you have always remembered me, over the years, you have spent a lot of effort for Mu Yun's illness, Mu Yun is grateful, where will I blame you?" Mu Yun said sincerely.
"Grandpa is really relieved that you can think like this. There's one thing I want you to tell me truthfully, okay? The old man waved his hand and motioned for Mu Yun to sit beside him.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Mu Yun felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"It's about your condition, don't tell me anything about Xue Zhong's cure, these words are okay to deceive Mu Tian." The old man smiled and exposed Mu Yun's lies in advance.
"Eh, grandpa really has great powers," Mu Yun hurriedly complimented.
"Hmph, don't be sloppy," the old man was stunned and said in a deep voice.
"Oh" Mu Yun was helpless, all the ghost tricks in front of this old man didn't seem to work, so Mu Yun had to explain truthfully. From when I went to the back mountain and met an old man, to when the old man gave him three pills, and then treated himself and gave himself kung fu, until now. However, some things are too secret and exaggerated, so Mu Yun never mentions them, such as the old man's extraordinary strength, not only accepting himself as an apprentice, but also teaching himself the position of the head of the family, such as that he is an innate yang body, and then the ancient god Shennong Ding, and the more mysterious Ling'er.
From beginning to end in one breath, under Mu Yun's caution and carefulness, he finally concealed the secret matter from his grandfather, and Mu Yun couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Jindan period? So that's the case, this can be said to be reasonable" The old man stroked his beard, nodded and said, "By the way, Mu Yun, where is the mysterious old man, he is your savior, grandpa wants to thank him in person." ”
"Grandpa, that old man is a strange man in the mountains, coming and going like the wind, there is no trace, if he doesn't appear in person, I'm afraid no one can find him"
"Well, that's right, since it's a strange person, that behavior must be different from ordinary people, I didn't expect that there is such a master in this human Yuan Continent, it's my short-sightedness," the old man sighed.
"I missed such a good opportunity, did that strange man say when he would come again?" The old man asked without giving up.
"Grandpa, the old man once said that it is fate to meet me, and it is fate to cure my illness, and no one can say for sure that my illness has been cured, which means that my fate with him is over."
"Hey, that's it, as the old man said, everything is fate, and I must have no chance to meet him, but it's a pity, it's a pity," the old man said with disappointment.
"Grandpa, this is how the whole thing happened, since then, I have been cultivating every day, and these days, it has always been like this."
"Well, grandpa believes in your words, and I believe that you can have a day when you spread your wings and fly high, but it's a pity that she can't see Bing'er" The old man mentioned the word 'Bing'er', as if he was much older in an instant.
Mu Yun was also sad.
"Mu Yun, about your parents, have you ever hated your grandfather?" The old man stood up, folded his hands behind his back, and looked out the window, as if he was remembering something.
This is the first time since Mu Yun can remember, the old man has mentioned Mu Yun's parents in front of Mu Yun.
"I ...... I don't know" Mu Yun thought of his parents, and two lines of tears had already flowed.
"Hey, you must hate me in your heart, even I hate myself, hate my stubbornness, hate my stupidity, Bing'er is not in good health, but ......, when I wake up, it's too late. Before your mother died, she held my hand and said to me, I must take care of you, even if she is not a husband and wife, but you are innocent......" The old man was in tears, and he couldn't say any more.
The old man calmed down a little, and continued, "Since then, I have been thinking of various ways to treat you every day, hoping to do something for you as compensation for your parents. But ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, but your illness has not improved at all, I feel more and more sorry for your parents, sorry for you, and I don't even have the courage to come to this hut to visit you alone, until today, I see that your illness is cured, I see that you can cultivate like others, and I see that you can defeat your opponent in the martial arts arena, I am so excited, so far, what I owe to your parents can be regarded as repaid, now, it's up to you, Mu Yun, can you forgive grandpa? The old man looked back at Mu Yun, like that, how could he still have the appearance of the majestic head of the family in Mu Yun's impression, clearly a lonely old man who longed for his grandson's forgiveness.
"Grandpa" Mu Yun suddenly fell into the old man's arms, and cried bitterly, as if he wanted to cry out all the tears that had been suppressed in his heart for ten years. At this moment, Mu Yun felt the warmth of family affection.
"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry" The old man stroked Mu Yun's head with his hand and said, but his tears flowed unconsciously.
This moment, whether it is for the old man Baili or Mu Yun, is a warm moment - the warmth of family affection.
I don't know how long it took for Mu Yun's crying to gradually stop......
"Mu Yun, don't blame your uncle for today's clan meeting," the old man said earnestly, "He is now the head of the family, no matter what he does, he must start from the entire family, and the individual must be at the back." ”
"I know, grandpa, I don't blame the uncle, really, not at all, I know that the uncle loves me very much, and there are some things that he can't help himself now" Mu Yun nodded and said.
"You're right, now he has just sat on the throne of the head of the family, his foundation is unstable, every word he says, everything he does, the elders are staring at it, so it is really helpless for him to stand by and watch today, but even if you lose, grandpa will stand up, as long as you don't leave, no one can kick you out of this house."
Mu Yun's nose was sore, and he almost cried, and nodded heavily.
I only heard the old man say again, "Tomorrow's game, you just do your best, after all, there are a few people whose strength is still stronger than yours, remember to protect yourself, you still have a long way to go in the future." ”
"Well, I know, grandpa," Mu Yun nodded obediently.
"By the way, if you want, move to the inner courtyard and live with everyone."
"Well, it's still not good, I've been used to being quiet alone all these years, and I'm afraid I'm not comfortable going to the inner courtyard."
"Heh, this is up to you, as long as you like it, grandpa will often come to see you in the future, it's too late today, you rest, there will be a game tomorrow" The old man got up and wanted to leave.
"Well, grandpa go slowly, I'll send you"
……
After sending off his grandfather, Mu Yun returned to the room, his heart warm.
"Grandpa, eldest sister, the surprise for you has just begun, you can wait and see" Mu Yun looked up at Mingyue and muttered.
