The wooden house is not large, even in the living room, there is only a small wooden table, around the wooden table are a few small benches, and some daily items for the family.

After closing the door, the old lady walked over slowly, looked at Jiang Rou'er again with kind eyes, just smiled slightly, but didn't say a word.

Jiang Rouer looked at the old man and wanted to say something, but saw the old lady shaking her head slightly, the meaning was obvious, she didn't want Jiang Rouer to say anything.

Immediately, the old man seemed to be satisfied, so he got up and left, and said slowly: "I'll go and boil the kettle water for you, my small shop has finally opened, and I have to run it well." ”

Seeing that the old lady was gone, Mei Xue looked at Jiang Rou'er, and her eyes drew twice in the direction of the old lady's walk, asking Jiang Rou'er what the situation was.

Jiang Rou'er withdrew her gaze from the old lady, and also shook her head slightly at Mei Xue, signaling not to ask more.

Mei Xue nodded, knowing that Jiang Rou'er didn't want to say anything because of the old man's attitude, so she didn't ask anymore.

And Jiang Rou'er had already fallen into her own memories at this time.

She didn't know what the old man's name was, but she knew that she had seen the old lady for as long as she could remember, and she was not so old at that time, she was in good health, she was a well-known merchant in the city, and she often had dealings with their city lord's mansion.

And during this period, Jiang Rouer slowly got to know this old lady who often came to her house.

The old lady is very enthusiastic, and in the face of the young and ignorant Jiang Rou'er, she likes it in every way, and often takes Jiang Rou'er out to play, walks around the city, and buys her all kinds of delicious food.

Because of her father's busyness and her mother's worries about the chores of the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Rouer has no one to accompany her, so she especially likes to stick with the old lady.

Whenever the old man came to the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't go to meet the City Lord first, but first brought all kinds of gifts to the young Jiang Rou'er.

Jiang Rouer was also the happiest during this time, and there were people who were willing to accompany her and do many, many things that she couldn't do before.

To a large extent, Jiang Rouer has regarded the old lady as her own family.

Ten years have passed since this kind of life in a blink of an eye, Jiang Rouer has less and less time because of martial arts, and the old man also has business problems, so he doesn't come often.

Jiang Rouer came out of the City Lord's Mansion to find the old man, but was stopped by her mother and told her that the old lady did not want Jiang Rouer to visit her.

Jiang Rouer did not listen to her mother's words, and learned about the old man's residence through some friends, and when she saw that the old man's largest mansion in the city had become a small wooden house today, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She wants to help the elderly, and she believes that with her own background, if nothing else, it is still possible to give the elderly a stable life.

But when she had everything ready and wanted to go to the old man, she couldn't find it again.

After searching for half a month, she was disheartened.

When it was time to say goodbye, it was a rainy night.

The light rain is dripping, Jiang Rouer is wearing relatively thin clothes, after autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is obvious, the temperature during the day is good, summer clothes can still be worn, but at night, you have to add clothes, it is not easy to be frozen and cold by the temperature dropped.

Jiang Rouer knew that there would be such a situation, she relied on her own martial arts, and the weather was not bad, so she didn't take it seriously.

However, it suddenly rained today, although it was a light rain, it was no big deal, but the temperature dropped seriously, Jiang Rou'er herself practiced the water system exercises, and the cold feeling had already spread throughout her body.

She hid under the eaves, stretched out her slender hand, and gently touched the small raindrops that dripped from the eaves, watching the raindrops slowly slide down her fingertips.

Her eyes softened a lot, and she stretched out her other hand, spread her palm, and put her hands up and down, and lined them up.

The raindrops first landed on her left index finger, where they made a splash of water, leaving a drop, and then another drop......

The tiny raindrops became more and more, slowly converging into a drop on her index finger, down the belly of her fingers, slowly sliding down to the nail cover, and finally she couldn't bear her own weight, like a ripe fruit, as soon as the wind blew, it fell.

The raindrops didn't fall for long, and they were caught by the palm of the right hand again, and the water droplets splashed all over the palm, and then slowly flowed down the palm of the hand and flowed together again.

But the next drop of rain fell, dripping on the drop of rain that had just gathered together, scattering and splashing, and there were those that fell in the palm of one's hand, and there were those that flew out and blended into the rainy night......

"People, just like this rain, they are gathered together by fate. However, it is not necessarily long-term, after all, no one knows when the next drop of rain will come back, and we don't know whether the impact of that drop of rain will be great, and all we can do is to cherish the moment and really the people around us. ”

The voice that suddenly appeared was smooth and soft, but it still shocked Jiang Rou'er, who was originally immersed in her own world.

She turned her head slowly, and saw a peaceful-looking old man with his hands behind his back, looking at the light rainy night, as if he was enjoying it very much.

Seeing this, Jiang Rou'er smiled and was very excited, but she still suppressed the emotions in her heart and said slowly: "Yes, no one knows when this rain will end, when the next rain will start, and I don't know which raindrops we will meet, and whether we will be there again in the next rain." ”

"Hahaha, the girl has grown up and has her own ideas, not bad." The old lady smiled kindly, then turned around and faced Jiang Rou'er, slowly stretching out her wrinkled hand.

Jiang Rou'er did not hesitate, stretched out her hand and shook it with the old man.

Feeling the calluses on the old man's hands and the palms that could touch the bones and were a little cold, Jiang Rou'er couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and just as she wanted to say something, she saw the old man shaking his head.

This old man, who was a head shorter than himself, turned around to look at the rain after shaking hands.

"We are all rain, meeting is the greatest blessing, and it is naturally the best to meet in a river, lake and sea all the time. However, this is people, and water is different, they are free, carefree, and follow the rivers, lakes and seas, just rushing. ”

"Girl, the water on your body is like the mountain spring water, cold, but very thirst-quenching, very precious, but people, can't be like this."

The old man and Jiang Rou'er's eyes were staring together.

"Water can be soft or rigid, and only a combination of rigidity and softness can show the beauty of water......"

In the past, Jiang Rouer couldn't read these words, thinking that the old man was just saying that she was kind-hearted and could warm the hearts of others.

Now that she thinks about it, Jiang Rou'er understands that the old man is talking about her heart and her water system exercises.

For a while, Jiang Rouer was a little stunned, the old lady still knew how to cultivate, and then she thought that the old man had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and there were all kinds of people he could meet, and those who cultivated martial arts were naturally not a problem.

Mei Xue on the side saw that Jiang Rou'er had entered a strange realm, so she didn't bother her.

Mei Xue looked at the scene in the room, vigilant and curious about everything here.

Mei Xue was a little curious, who was the person who communicated silently with Jiang Rou'er, and made Jiang Rou'er trust her 100%.

Not only that, when Jiang Rouer came here, Mei Xue clearly felt that the tense emotions on Jiang Rouer's body were suddenly released, as if she had found a home, found a home that she had been away from for a long time and had not been able to return for a long time.

So much so that she became more curious about the identity of the old man.

"Girl, is it from the Mei family?"

At this time, the old man was walking slowly from the next room with a cane and a pot of water.

Mei Xue hurriedly walked over, took the teapot in the old man's hand, nodded slightly, looked at the old man, and then looked back at Jiang Rou'er, who was still in a trance.

"Don't worry, the little girl is fine, she has her own chance." The old man said, taking a cup from the table next to him, and slowly pouring water.

"Girl, I see that you are familiar, I think it is an old friend of mine, do you know Umeda Feng?" The old man handed over the glass.

Hearing this, Mei Xue nodded, reached out to take the old man's water cup, and then said, "It's my father, but grandma knows my father?" ”

The old man laughed, "I didn't expect it, I really guessed it right, how is he now?" It is said that mixing in Muqiu Mansion is not bad, at least it is much better than my wife and me. ”

Mei Xue looked at the old man and wanted to say that it was not bad, but she felt that it was not good to compare it with the old lady, so she just nodded slightly, not knowing what to say.

"Hahaha, little girl, don't be restrained, to be honest, I hugged you when you were a child." Seeing Mei Xue's speechless appearance, the old man smiled slightly and let Mei Xue relax.

Immediately, the old man told about some of his previous things, and let Mei Xue know that this was a famous big merchant in Qingfeng City in the past, and then he didn't know why, so he ended up like this.

In the middle of the night, the old man got up and went to rest, so that Mei Xue could rest assured that Jiang Rouer would not have an accident and could rest assured.

Mei Xue only expressed her gratitude for this, and she still stared at Jiang Rou'er tightly, for fear that something would happen to her.

The old man only glanced at it, and then went back to the house to rest.

At this time, Jiang Rou'er's spirit was immersed in a vast blue sea, she observed the surroundings and found that there was nothing around except for the vast sea.

And she was standing on the surface of the sea, looking at the sea under her feet as if it were the ground, Jiang Rouer was a little puzzled, wasn't she in the old lady's hotel? Why did you suddenly appear on this sea?

As her mind flowed, the sea beneath her feet also rippled.

The sea slowly rose and fell, making Jiang Rou'er, who had to stand on it, feel a little unstable, and there was a feeling that she was about to sink into the sea.

As soon as she thought of it, her feet were empty, and then the whole person fell into the sea, and she was submerged by the sea water at once, and she wanted to struggle, but she felt endless pressure on her body, making her unable to move or breathe.
