The group that set off was already some distance away from the imperial city.

On one side of the Imperial City of the Li Clan is a series of winding mountains.

It's certainly not realistic to climb straight up.

Therefore, the people decided to start from the west gate and go around the long road to find a relatively gentle terrain and climb the mountain.

Just cross this mountain range, and then you will have a smooth road.

"Hey, this has to go somewhere."

The little fish has long lost the novelty of the departure.

After all, the mountain peak on the right blocked most of the sunlight, and on the other side, since leaving the imperial city, there were few buildings left, only flowers and plants all over the ground and trees as far as the eye could see.

This similar sight wears down the patience of the little fish.

The group walked in a place where there was no smoke and fire.

"It's no wonder that it is located on the border of the Li Imperial City, and there are mountains on this side, and the sunshine and light nearby are very poor, so it is estimated that the crop harvest will not be very good." Xuan Yi looked at the surrounding environment and said loudly, "If it were me, I would also choose to live in the city." ”

"Maybe, sister, you may be wrong this time." The little fish pointed ahead.

"Look, there's no one living in front of you."

"Oh, really?"

Xuan Yi was also quite surprised.

"In this kind of environment, are there still people?"

"Exactly." Wei Changming spoke up.

"We've been gone for a while, so let's go ahead and rest for a while."

"Hmm."

The people walked in.

Ahead, inside a wooden house.

An old man was bent over, laboriously chopping a piece of wood.

"Grandpa, I'll come!"

The little fish who walked in front of everyone hurriedly stepped forward, stepped over the fence on the ground, and ran to Lao Suo's side.

"Thank you, good boy." Lao Suo let Xiao Yu'er take the axe in his hand, and looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile to help chop wood.

"Don't worry, grandpa, why do you live here alone, don't you have any relatives or companions?"

Lao Suo shook his head.

"No, I'm the only one living here."

"Then why don't you go to the city? It's so lively in the city. ”

Lao Suo raised his head, looked at the mountain in front of him, and said, "Because I am needed here." ”

Xiao Yu'er didn't understand what Lao Su meant, but then Lao Su asked.

"Where are you going?"

"Grandpa, we're going to climb over this mountain. Go to the other side of the mountain. ”

At this time, the carriage and the party had also arrived at the house.

Wei Changming and his men tied the carriage to a tree on the side, while Xuan Yi helped Cui Tingyun get out of the carriage and stood aside.

"Come, everyone is tired, if you don't dislike it, go and sit in my room."

"Okay, excuse me."

"No trouble, no trouble." Lao Sue still looked smiling, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together with the smile.

"It's been a long time since we've had a guest, it's our fate."

Inside the house.

After Wei Changming sat in, he found that the space inside was unexpectedly large.

The inconspicuous room, after seven or eight people entered, there was still plenty of space.

"Tell me your story, old man. Why are you alone in this person! The little fish sat curiously beside Lao Suo.

"Okay." Lao Sue coughed slightly, and Xiao Yu'er hurriedly walked behind Lao Sue and patted him on the back,

"Since you want to hear it, I'm happy to share my story."

"I can't remember how long it was. I've been here since I was born. Lao Suo's face showed a look of reminiscence.

"At that time, my favorite thing was to watch the children in front of me play."

"Grandpa, aren't you going to play with them?" Xiao Yu'er looked puzzled.

"Haha." Lao Chau laughed.

"Grandpa may be different."

Then Lao Su continued: "After a long, long time, I have grown up, and the children with me have grown up. ”

"There are a few children who are very talented, and I watch them practice and learn from each other day by day."

No matter when and where, Lao Suo will always have this peaceful look.

"But then, they all left, and I don't know where they went."

"How can this be!" Xiao Yu'er said angrily: "Aren't they partners, how can they leave without even saying hello to you?" ”

Lao Suo smiled and stroked the girl's head.

"But then, I don't know how long it took, they came back."

"Really?" Xiao Yu'er has already invested in the story, and she is very happy to hear this.

"Yes, when they come back, they will all be dressed in fine clothes, and I am very happy for them."

"Yes! So where are they now? ”

Lao Su thought for a moment.

"I guess it's in that big city."

"Then they are all big families in the imperial city! Grandpa, aren't you going to look for them? ”

Lao Suo shook his head.

"Grandpa still likes it here."

When the second daughter was listening to Lao Suo's story in the house, Wei Changming leaned against the door.

While listening to the story, you can look at the scenery outside.

Suddenly, Wei Changming saw firewood scattered all over the place outside the house, so he picked up the axe on the ground, split it one by one, and then tied the firewood together.

One bundle, two bundles.

"Whew."

Wei Changming wiped the sweat from his forehead, and as soon as he put down the axe in his hand, he saw that the fence at the door was a little messy.

So Wei Changming ran to rest again and re-weave the messy branches.

When he had finished compiling it, he went to the well next side and brought two buckets of water and put them on the ground beside him.

Finally, the messy floor was cleaned up again.

After finishing the matter, Wei Changming looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

"That's it."

"Wei Changming, what are you doing outside?"

"Nothing."

"Then come in, let's say goodbye to grandpa, let's rest."

"Okay."

······

"Grandpa. I'll be back to see you! ”

After a simple goodbye, it is inevitable that there will be moments of separation.

Xiao Yu'er followed everyone away, and suddenly turned around and beckoned halfway through.

"Grandpa, remember my name! My name is Xu Ziyu! ”

"Okay, Grandpa knows."

"Wei Changming, keep up! You're dying slowly. ”

"Got it, got it." Wei Changming carried his bags, large and small, and kept up with the large army.

"Xu Ziyu and Wei Changming, right?" Lao Suo stood on the side of the fence like this.

Quietly watch the crowd leave.

"I see."

"Looks like the kids just said they were going to the other side of the mountain."

Lao Sue looked into the distance.

"When you're old, it's easy to forget things."

On the road.

"Sister, what kind of person do you say this old man is?"

"He is a very kind old man who likes to laugh."

"I think he's still a very strange person."

Xiao Yu'er suddenly said.

Xuanyi asked curiously, "Why do you say that?" ”

Xiao Yu'er scratched her head and suddenly laughed.

"I don't know."
