Time flies, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and there has been no large-scale war in the entire Great Xia during these ten years, as if everything is very calm.

Our protagonist Xiao Jiu started his county guard in Yangcheng County with peace of mind, and took Li Luoyao and Xun'er's family of three to live a happy life without shame and boredom.

Until one day, a strange Taoist suddenly came to the City Lord's Mansion.

……

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

The concierge of the Xiao family opened the door of the house and asked a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist.

When he heard that the Taoist said that he was asking to see the county guard, the housekeeper originally wanted to shirk it directly, but the Taoist asked the housekeeper to report that it was the old man who asked to see him.

The housekeeper didn't know whether it was true or not, so he went straight to the study where Xiao Jiu was and narrated them one by one.

Xiao Jiu was also puzzled in his heart, and then asked the housekeeper to take the Taoist to the study.

When he saw the plainly dressed Taoist, Xiao Jiu frowned slightly and asked, "Dare to ask the old man if he recognizes him?" I've heard people say it's an old friend, but I don't know you. ”

The Taoist smiled when he heard this, and said slowly: "Lord Xiao is a county guard, if I don't say that I am an old friend of the adult, how can I see it?" ”

Xiao Jiu was already a little angry when he heard the slightly ridiculous tone of the Taoist, but he still forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"My husband is fine, please go back, if there is any difficulty, I can ask the house to pay you some money and buy some food."

After speaking, Xiao Jiu waved his hand to the housekeeper and motioned to leave with the Taoist.

The housekeeper was also annoyed when he saw this, why didn't he ask the Taoist carefully, which led to such an oolong.

Just when the housekeeper stepped forward and was about to forcibly take people away, the Taoist waved the dust whisk in his hand, and still said unhurriedly: "Xiao Jiu, do you remember Blue Star?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jiu's heart suddenly trembled.

"You old man, hurry up."

The housekeeper was anxious to drive the Taoist out at this time, but Xiao Jiu's voice followed.

"Come east, you go out first."

The housekeeper heard Xiao Jiu call his name, and turned his head to look at Xiao Jiu.

The current Xiao Jiu has lost his former calmness, which is something that the housekeeper usually can't see.

After the housekeeper left, Xiao Jiu stared at the Taoist, and his mouth was dry and he didn't know what to say.

After being silent for a long time, it was the man who spoke first, "You don't belong to this world, all this is just a dream." ”

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he was silent.

Looking back on the previous life, Xiao died at the age of 900, which can already be called a good death, and it is completely earned for nothing to live one more life.

Now the old man has revealed the truth that he has hidden in his heart for many years, which makes him a little panicked.

Xiao Jiu really wanted his subordinates to tie up the person in front of him, but since Lao Dao could clearly know his origin, he was already an immortal method.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Jiu asked in a slightly choked voice, "Can I say goodbye to my family?" ”

Lao Dao shook his head and refused, and then waved the dust whisk in his hand again.

……

Blue Star, a hospital.

An old man with gray temples and skin like the bark of a dry tree struggled to open his heavy eyelids.

Cloudy old tears flickered, and he looked at everything around him in a bit of a panic.

In an ordinary ward, there was only one woman lying on the side of the bed, and the old man recognized it as his granddaughter.

The old man was naturally Xiao Jiu, who was trying to sit up at this time, but he couldn't do it after trying for a long time.

It was Xiao Jiu's actions that woke up the woman who was sleeping on the side of the bed.

"Grandpa, are you awake?"

The woman looked at the old man in front of her with a little surprise, and Xiao Jiu was stunned when she heard it.

Xiao Jiu knew that everything in the past might just be his dream, and he was just a withered old man.
