Zhao Ling dragged the heavy burden and ran to the plank road, but found that it was already empty, she sat down on the ground, burst into tears, hating why she was asleep.

I don't know how long she sat down, she tried to stand up, but found that her feet were numb and almost fell to the ground, and one hand held her.

She looked up at the figure in the night, and a smile spread across her face, for she could never cry in his presence.

But tears still couldn't help flowing, she hugged her beloved, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"Don't cry, don't cry, I will never leave without your farewell. Li Mo comforted him and said.

After hugging each other for a long time, Zhao Ling broke free of his arms and opened his baggage, when Li Mo saw those clothes and shoes, he suddenly looked at the girl in front of him, and then he realized that this girl, who had been inseparable since childhood, had grown up.

"I'm not leaving. Li Mo suddenly made a decision.

"Why?" Zhao Ling was a little surprised, but he was happy in his heart.

"No matter how beautiful the outside world is, it is not as beautiful as my beloved girl. Li Mo looked at her and said seriously, "I want to marry you, right now." ”

Whatever happened in the village was more surprising than Li Mo marrying Zhao Linglai, and even Li Qianjun and Zhao Laosi did not have any surprises.

Of course, whether there is an accident or not is not opposed is two different things, as soon as Zhao Laosi heard that his daughter was determined to marry Li Mo, he had little temper recently, he was furious, and directly locked his daughter in the room, and then did not allow Li Mo to step into his house again.

Li Qianjun's reaction was the same, locking Li Mo into the room, but he knew that he couldn't lock Li Mo, so he just asked his daughter-in-law to persuade him.

The opposition of the two families failed to defeat Li Mo and Zhao Ling after all, and the two were locked in the room without making noise or trouble, but they both began to go on a hunger strike.

Half a month later, the parents of both sides finally compromised.

At the banquet, Zhao Laosi drank the wine silently, he suddenly looked at his daughter-in-law carefully on a whim, and then looked at his daughter-in-law, but found that no matter how the girl looked, she didn't look like herself, and what was even more strange was that she didn't look like his daughter-in-law.

Zhao Laosi really believed in the golden boy and jade girl, but he always felt that he was taken advantage of by the Li family, why was his own Zhao Ling a female baby, not Li Mo a female baby?

He thought that Li Qianjun must be proud now, but he didn't expect that Li Qianjun came over to toast him and apologized......

That night was really Zhao Ling's happiest day, when Li Mo lifted the red hijab, her face flushed, they had looked at each other countless times, and slept together countless times, but this time it was different.

"I've had this feeling countless times, when I saw you for the first time, when I said the first thing to you, when you lay down next to me for the first time, I felt that in this life, you are my bride, but every time it is not as strong as this time. Li Mo said with a smile.

Zhao Ling looked at Li Mo, the two of them looked at each other, she looked at Li Mo, but did not speak, because she had already answered in her heart.

She closed her eyes and he kissed her on the lips, it wasn't the first time they had kissed, but the first time they had kissed each other.

――――

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, Li Mo is thirty years old, Zhao Ling is also thirty years old, many young people in the village have gone outside the village, Li Mo got his wish and became the most powerful man in the village, but not the most powerful man in the world.

When the old people were drinking, they would sometimes talk about Li Mo, thinking that if Li Mo went out, he would come back in ten years, and maybe he would have a greater future, just like many people in the village who came back from outside.

Sometimes Li Mo would tell them that one day, I would definitely leave here and become the most powerful man in the world.

But year after year, Li Mo didn't leave, just like Li Mo and Zhao Ling sat on the old locust tree and said: One day, I will definitely leave here and become the most powerful man in the world.

Zhao Ling's reaction was different from everyone else, she didn't laugh, she just said "um" calmly, and then said in her heart: "In my heart, you are the most powerful man in the world." ”

Gradually, this became a joke in the village, but Li Mo didn't care, and Zhao Ling didn't care.

At the age of thirty, Zhao Ling suddenly became a little unhappy, when Li Mo went out hunting with the hunting team, she always cried secretly, she wanted a child, but her stomach was not angry.

Li Mo took Zhao Ling to find Lang Zhong, but found that there was no problem with the two of them.

That night, Zhao Ling sat on the old locust tree, and she took the initiative to cry in front of Li Mo for the first time, because she couldn't give her husband a child.

Li Mo wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Maybe God wants to leave all the time to me, just let me be selfish and let you give me all your time, okay?"

Zhao Ling laughed "poof", scolded him: "I hate ghosts, I know how to make people laugh, where are you selfish, obviously God is selfish." ”

Later, they were no longer sad because they didn't have children, just like Li Mo said, as if God was ready to leave all their time to each other.

Time flies, Li Mo was forty years old that year, Zhao Ling was also forty years old, Li Mo was no longer the most powerful man in the village, the people who came back from outside learned a lot of martial arts, and many of them were able to easily defeat Li Mo.

More and more time, Li Mo is in the martial arts arena, looking at those new moves, he will occasionally steal a style or two, and when people know about it, they will laugh at him, saying: "Li Mo, do you want to go out this year and become the most powerful man in the world?"

Li Mo always replied with a smile: "Go, go, when I convince my daughter-in-law, I will leave immediately." ”

He returned home, had dinner, pulled Zhao Ling to the old locust tree, and played a set of boxing techniques that he had learned secretly, but he excitedly asked Zhao Ling if he was powerful, but he didn't say a word to persuade her.

Zhao Ling looked at him adoringly like when he was not married, and said, "Amazing." ”

Li Mo is fifty years old, Zhao Ling is also fifty years old, that must be Li Mo's saddest year, in his fifty years of memory, there are suddenly a lot of unusual things, and another world appears in his mind.

At first, Li Mo thought it was just an illusion, and he didn't even think about it, sometimes he talked to Zhao Ling, and Zhao Ling said that he was fantasizing about leaving the village again.

"If my brother wants to go, I will accompany my brother, even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will never leave. Zhao Ling's thoughts are different from before.

When she was young, she found that she couldn't do without Li Mo, and after a few decades, she found that she couldn't do without Li Mo anymore, she wouldn't object to what Li Mo did, but she had to follow him.

Li Mo hugged her into his arms and said with a smile: "You are my world, what else are you going to go to." ”

Li Mo is sixty years old, Zhao Ling is also sixty years old, they hugged each other for another ten years, Zhao Ling suddenly became nagging, always recalling the past, she kept chattering in Li Mo's ear.

In the past, they sat in front of the old locust tree without saying a word, but now Zhao Ling always talks a lot, Li Mo never felt bored, he found that Zhao Ling remembered every detail they had walked through.

When they recall those times, it is as if they are back to that age, they sit on the old locust tree, sometimes looking at the stars, sometimes looking into the distance.

When he was sixty years old, Li Mo often looked at the starry sky in a daze, and Zhao Ling found that every time he looked at himself, his eyes were different, and behind the happiness, there was always a little sadness.

Zhao Ling asked him, and he always said: "We are all starting to get old, and I am afraid that one day, you will suddenly leave me." ”

Li Mo is seventy years old, Zhao Ling is also seventy years old, their temples are gray, their parents have long since passed away, there are many new faces in the village, and many old faces have left.

No one laughed at Li Mo anymore, even people of the same generation did not laugh at him, and even a little envious, because he and Zhao Ling had been inseparable for seventy years, but they were not tired of each other at all.

Although Li Mo is old, he is in good spirits, but Zhao Ling is no longer the Zhao Ling who guarded the time and said: "Time, time, you are slower".

Her hair is like snow, and her face is wrinkled, but she is still the Zhao Ling in Li Mo's heart, one-year-old Zhao Ling, ten-year-old Zhao Ling, twenty-year-old Zhao Ling, thirty-year-old Zhao Ling, forty-year-old Zhao Ling, fifty-year-old Zhao Ling, sixty-year-old Zhao Ling, all his Zhao Ling.

She couldn't climb the old locust tree, or even the mountain, every time Li Mo carried her on his back, came to the old locust tree, and sat down below.

One day, Zhao Ling woke up in a meditation, she looked at Li Mo and asked, "Brother, what are you hiding from me? Why can't you tell me?"

Her voice dragged on because she was not in a good mood.

Li Mo looked at her and replied, "I'm afraid that one day, you will suddenly leave me." ”

That day, when Li Mo returned home, he made a bath water for Zhao Ling, wiped her body, and coaxed her to sleep, he suddenly said to himself: "Time, time, you slow down, slow down......"

When he was eighty years old, the whole village came to congratulate Li Mo and Zhao Ling on their birthdays, and that day Zhao Ling said to Li Mo happily like a child: "Brother, you see, we have so many children, they are all our children." ”

On that day that year, it was also Li Mo's 80th birthday, he smiled and nodded, but his heart was like a knife, he prayed: "Time, time, you slow down, slow down......"

At the age of ninety, Li Mo rarely went out, he couldn't walk with a cane, he counted the time every day, cherishing every minute and every second.

He was afraid of seeing the young people outside, afraid of the passage of time, he stayed by Zhao Ling's side every moment, and Zhao Ling said to him the most: "Brother, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." ”

This sentence made him scared and trembled.

One day, he ran to the old locust tree and cried into tears, and he begged God to give him more time, but time still passed in a hurry.

After coming back, he also prayed again, nagging beside Zhao Ling every day, helping her wipe her body, carrying her up at night, going back and forth, tirelessly.

Occasionally, Zhao Ling would reply to him and say, "Brother, I'm sleepy." ”

Her voice was no longer long, as concise as when she was young, but it was like a heavy hammer that hit Li Mo's heart.

In the last year of the ninety-nine years old, Zhao Ling no longer shouted sleepy, and only when his hand touched the faint heartbeat did he know that his beloved was still alive.

On the last night of that year, Li Mo said a lot, he talked about another world, and he talked about it with relish, and he could no longer keep the secret that had been hidden for decades.

At the last moment of that night, Li Mo took Zhao Ling's hand and calmly waited for the last second to come.

A voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Brother, thank you for a hundred years, Turin has no regrets." ”
