Wang Quanquan and his wife stood outside the house, looking at the bronze lock on the door, which could be regarded as brand new, and just as they were puzzled, there was a sound of footsteps next to them.

The couple turned their heads to look, and a man was walking towards this side, the man was in his early thirties, wearing a long robe, and he was also stunned when he saw the two, and stepped forward and said:

"Who are you looking for?"

Wang Quanquan looked at the man in front of him, the other party behaved elegantly, and looked like a scholar, although he didn't know each other, he always felt familiar.

He arched his hand and said:

"This little brother, who lives in this house now?"

"Oh, this is where my father's friend lived when he was young, and then he moved out of here, and the house has been idle, and my father ordered his younger generations to come and take care of it from time to time, so that it is not deserted, dare to ask the two old men are the old acquaintances of the owner of this house?"

Wang Quanquan stroked his beard, and asked without answering:

"Ling Zun's name is Liu Xiaoxi?"

"Sir, how are you ......?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but then reacted and said with surprise on his face:

"Could it be that you are the Ah Yue that my father often mentions?"

Wang Quanquan nodded with a smile.

……

The man was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took out the key from his bosom, and said as he opened the door:

"Father said that you are the great benefactor of our Liu family, and it was thanks to that bag of silver that my father was able to go to the city to do business."

Wang Quanquan also recalled the past at this time, and joked:

"I remember when we were young, we went into the city together, and your father couldn't take his eyes off the girl when he saw it, and I don't know if he really married a city girl in the end."

Wang Quanquan was not serious, and chatted with his juniors about some things, and Yan Rongrong couldn't help but roll his eyes on the side.

The middle-aged man pushed open the door and said with a hearty smile:

"Don't hide it from the old man, my mother's family is in Changyang County, and she is from a rich family."

As he spoke, the three of them had come to the house, the room facilities were slightly old, but they were not dirty, and there was only a thin layer of ash on the table, which was wiped by the man with a rag casually, revealing the lines underneath again.

Although the furniture in the house is not a precious wood, it is not changed in the eyes of the king, and the display in front of him is no different from more than 30 years ago.

The middle-aged man said softly on the side:

"My father used to say that you will come back one day, sir, so everything was arranged according to the layout of the year, a few years ago, the wind and waves were strong, the sea water was flooded, and there were also a few heavy rains, and some of the wood was too old and had to be replaced."

Wang Quanquan nodded, "If you have a heart, is Ling Zun still in good health?" ”

"I remember you, it's tough, it's living by the sea all the year round, and when I'm old, I can't help but have a sore back and legs, I asked him to move back to the city, but my father said that when people are old, they should return to their roots."

……

During the conversation, Wang Quanquan came to the back room, and his fingers gently stroked the dresser dyed with vermilion lacquer, which was one of the few things in the house with new ideas, which was added when the two got married.

It's a pity that the beauty has passed away, leaving only new things in the dust.

Yan Rongrong also walked in at this time, looking at everything in front of him, his face couldn't help but be a little moved, he lost his love on the wedding night, from great joy to great sorrow, and the world was sad.

She is now old, and she no longer loves to drill the horns as much as she did when she was young, and everything in front of her now is just an old past where the listener is sad and sees tears.

Wang Quanquan turned his back to the two of them, stared at the bronze mirror on the table in a daze, and after a while, he turned around, his face was neither sad nor regretful, and his eyes were always calm.

"Let's go, go visit your father."

The man had already heard about the past from his father's mouth, and he didn't say much, but nodded with a smile.

……

The Konishi family lived in the west of the village, and after they were developed, they moved to the city, and now that they are older, they can often dream of the scenes of their youth, so they moved back again.

After some expansion, the house is no longer the shabby appearance it was at the beginning, and it is not as good as the blue bricks and gray tiles in the city, but it can also be regarded as a first-class pride in the village.

When the three of them walked into the door, Xiaoxi, who was close to the sixtieth birthday, was watering the flowers, and after he became rich, he was a little blessed, and he was no longer thin and thin.

The middle-aged man stepped forward to take the water scoop and said respectfully:

"Father, look who's coming."

Hearing this, the old man raised his head and looked at the two of them, first he was a little puzzled, and then he was surprised:

"Ah Yue?"

Seeing his friends who he hadn't seen for more than 30 years, he could still recognize each other at once.

"Cai'er, tell me to go down and prepare the meal."

……

After his son left, the old man turned his head to look at the king, and then knelt down directly.

"See Your Majesty."

"You and I don't have to." The king's authority stepped forward and picked up the other party.

Konishi stood up with difficulty, and did not say anything more about what had just happened, but asked again as he had done back then:

"When are you going to leave this time?"

Wang Quanquan turned his head to look at Yan Rongrong, and after seeing the other party bowing slightly, he said:

"Don't leave for a while, stay here for a while."

"Okay, the old guys in the village have moved away over the years, and I'm worried that there is no one to talk to."

……

After eating, the two chatted for a while, and when the sky was over, the couple took their leave and returned to the small house in the east of the village, and simply cleaned up the house, which would be their residence from now on.

The two have been married for many years, and they can already see each other's thoughts with one look, no matter how calm the king's authority is, his inner fluctuations will still be noticed by the person next to him.

At night by the sea, except for the waves not far away, no sound could be heard, and Wang Quanquan only felt calm as never before, and fell into a deep sleep.

Unconsciously, the sky was already bright, the chickens and dogs barked at each other, Wang Quanquan got up and opened the door to let the sunlight outside the house shine in, today is a rare good weather, if it was placed more than thirty years ago, he had already dragged the fishing net to the boat and went to sea.

Closing his eyes and quietly enjoying this long-lost peace, Wang Quanquan turned around, looked at Yan Rongrong, who was still asleep, and said softly:

"Lady, this view is beautiful."

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the back room, and with each step, his face became younger, until he reached the bed, and he had completely returned to the appearance of twenty-four or five years old.

……

Wang Quanquan sat on the edge of the bed, took the other party's hand and continued to murmur:

"On the other side of the sea, there are still countless scenery, there are green mountains and green trees, waterfalls and canyons, antelopes leaping and tiger roaring mountains and forests...... I wanted to show you ......."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly choked, and after a long while, he got up after leaving a kiss on the woman's forehead and said:

"We've rested enough, let's go home."

A long rainbow broke through the clouds and left the secluded village, just as the two had done when they arrived, without making any waves.

……

A month later, the news of His Majesty's death suddenly came from the Imperial Palace in Beijing, and the crown prince of the East Palace, Wang Qianying, succeeded to the throne according to the law.

On the same day, the three coffins were carried out of the capital, and the Son of Heaven, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine were buried in the imperial mausoleum at the same time.

In the sky, a young man in white looked at this prosperous world again, turned to the man riding a strange beast on the side, and nodded:

"Let's get started."

Although the latter was reluctant, he still patted the head of the strange beast under him.

A purple electric light surged at the sharp corners of the beast's forehead, and the sky not far away slowly cracked.

"Cultivate well, maybe you and my father and son will see each other again."

The man in white patted his son on the shoulder, turned and burrowed into the void.

The man in his early thirties clenched the jade pendant in his hand, trying not to let himself cry.

The child behind him didn't know what was happening, but when the "uncle" was out of the door, he raised the ancient book in his hand and pointed to the title page and asked:

"Dad, what do you mean by the palace?"
