Chapter 140: A Turquoise Pendant
Breeze, light rain, bluestone slabs on the road.
One line, two people.
Looking at Li Yuchen and Lin Yan in the distance, Zhou Yun raised her head and counted the soft and delicate raindrops falling, and was slanted by the wind, moistening her face that already had traces of time.
A heart that is numb to the point of hardness is softened, and the memory of the past hidden in the deepest part of the soul is recalled.
On the same road, it was raining lightly, and someone was accompanied......
"Ku'er thinks that my brother and sister Yan are very compatible. Without Zhou Yun's answer, Ku'er read softly, with a smile on her little face.
That's what she believed, she guessed that Zhou Yun also thought so, but it was just about Lin Yan and Yu Xin, and she didn't want to admit it for the time being, and as for admitting it, it was only a matter of time.
The breeze was blowing the light rain, and she silently watched the two figures leave, tilting her head, staring at Zhou Yun in her memories, just squinting her eyes slightly and smiling lightly.
The two tall and gray stone lions are the best caretakers, guarding the courtyard that has not changed behind them as the years go by.
The dark gray brick wall, connected to the brown gate in the center, and the plaque engraved on the door with two large characters of "Lu Huai" flying and phoenix dancing, looking lonely at the cold of the rainy day.
Although there was no need to knock on the door, Li Yuchen still stretched out his right hand, clasped it slightly, and knocked lightly on the wooden door, and the silent knocking fell on the early morning air, hiding in the shouts.
In addition to the light rain drops, which make a very weak sound, and the faint sound that emanates between the snorts when breathing, there is no response.
Knocking on the door with one hand changed to pushing the door with both hands, and with some effort, the wooden door was opened, which alarmed the gentle rain, and changed the traces of falling slightly, Li Yuchen and Lin Yan walked in together.
In the courtyard, it is quiet.
Due to the wind and rain, the leaves and flowers in the courtyard are shining brightly in the morning, which is a little dazzling.
"Grandpa. His eyes swept over the courtyard, and Li Yuchen shouted.
The shouts were not small, lingering among the bright leaves and flowers, wandering in the clear air, touching the brick doors, and meeting the stone slabs and dirt on the ground, but there was no response.
"Grandpa isn't here, let's go to the study and wait. Wait, he said.
In the study, a few points of light shine through the window, almost illuminating the quiet fragrance of books, and the books with reading traces stay quietly on the shelves, like an old man who has experienced the years, silently waiting for someone to come, willing to tell a story.
Pick up a book, sit at the desk, and flip through it aimlessly with the wind that blows into the room, not caring about the words on the page.
Looking for the feeling he had in the past, because in this peaceful environment, he didn't see Grandpa Li You, and he didn't hear anything, so he couldn't really calm down.
So, he just reads books.
Just look at the book.
Time, between turning the pages of the book, in the hopeless waiting, passes unconsciously.
Flipping through a book, jotting down a few words in his mind, looking up, there was a soft voice coming out of the door, more light inputs, and a figure, in the only warm sunlight after the rain.
"Grandpa. Li Yuchen shouted, put down the book, forgot about the book, and smiled.
"Grandpa Li. Lin Yan also raised her head, with a shallow smile on her pretty face.
"You're here. Li You said, his voice very soft.
The rickety body is slightly straight, and the vicissitudes of life have a faint smile on his face, as if looking at two very close junior relatives, and the calm eyes after the years flashed with soft kindness.
A bit of encouragement is the care of the elders for the younger generations, forgetting the sadness of parting, and full of smiles.
"Yuchen, your road is far away. Li You whispered, raised his head, staring at the bright and blue sky, "Stronger, far, far away, perhaps, at the other end of the sky, or perhaps, not under this sky overhead." ”
"No matter where you are, you must never forget, and always remember to look up, and when you look up, what you see is the sky, and it must be the sky. ”
"Believe that no matter where you are, even if you can't see the sky, there is still a sky. ”
Li You said softly, telling what he understood, and what Li Yuchen couldn't understand for the time being, a pair of eyes, calm, always staring at the sky.
When he looked up, he saw the sky.
Listening carefully, Li Yuchen also raised his head, looking at the sky that was not dazzling, looking at the blue in the sky, and staring at some clouds that had not yet been completely formed.
After the light rain, the sky does not have a rainbow in response to the reappearance of the sun, but it is pure and tranquil, which is somewhat wonderful.
When he looked up, he saw the sky.
He was sure that what he saw was the sky.
Yes, the sky.
It's just that when you can't see it, what will the sky look like?
He couldn't think through it, he couldn't figure it out, but he didn't ask, and in his heart, there were still many questions, and he didn't ask, because when he knew, he could know, and he didn't need to ask deliberately.
Silently, he kept his head up, his eyes reflecting the sky, and he always reflected the sky.
"Yuchen, there is one thing that I need you to help grandpa do. Li You lowered his head, and the elder sighed slightly in his voice.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" asked Li Yuchen.
Li You didn't rush to say, he raised his hand slightly, and a turquoise pendant appeared in his dry right hand, staring at the pendant, his originally calm eyes were filled with irrepressible fluctuations, and he couldn't be calm anymore.
The pendant is strung by a black thread, oval shape, only the size of the index finger on the thumb circle, the green color, not even the most basic lines, in the center of the pendant slightly lower place, engraved with a "child" character.
"This piece of jasper, sealed with some power, you carry it around your neck, can protect you once at a critical moment. Li You whispered, raised his right hand slightly, and slowly stretched out his left hand, and put the pendant on Li Yuchen's neck in the simplest way.
Then, staring at Li Yuchen and also staring at the pendant, he didn't speak, and his eyes fluctuated with a strange look, like nostalgia, joy, sorrow, sadness, and ...... There are more complex emotions that are difficult to understand.
"Grandpa, what do you need me to do?" After a short silence, Li Yuchen asked again.
"Yuchen, just take the pendant with you, and you don't have to do anything deliberately. Li You whispered, and couldn't help but look up, "When someone asked...... When this pendant was made, you said ......" on my behalf, but the shape was fixed.
All around, the wind arose for no reason, blowing the eyes with complex meanings, as if entering something that should not be entered, and there were faint traces of water.
"Say it for me...... I'm sorry!" After a long time, Li You still said it.
The wind that arose for no reason, at this moment, seemed to be infected, and suddenly became much more violent, blowing flowers and leaves and swaying and swaying...... Adventitious.
