Bidding farewell to Ouyang Mingyue, Nie Donglai and Mu Guitian strolled on the lively street, the two of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke for the first time.

However, none of them noticed that there was still one person who still stood still, staring at the direction they were leaving, motionless.

This person is Ouyang Mingyue, his mood at this time can be described as extremely complicated, not because he did not invite Nie Donglai and the two this time, but because he found that he had an indelible figure in his heart.

"Young Overseer, it's not too early, let's go back too!"

Suddenly, a figure quietly came behind Ouyang Mingyue, this was an old man, with a rickety figure, dressed in sackcloth, also ordinary, coupled with his ordinary face like a passerby, it was definitely an existence that no one else would look at when he was thrown in the crowd.

Because he looks too ordinary.

The only thing that was unusual was that the old man was still carrying a huge wine gourd in his right hand, which was more than twice as large as usual.

The old man's beard was slightly pale, at this moment, he was gently twisting the beard at the corner of his mouth, staring at Ouyang Mingyue's back with a smile, occasionally a trace of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and his wrinkled face revealed a kind of love from the heart, that kind of pity was not deliberately disguised, but more like an elder looking at his juniors.

"Uncle Drunk, you've always been there, aren't you?"

Hearing the old man's words, Ouyang Mingyue's figure trembled, but he didn't turn around, but withdrew his gaze from afar, looked up at the gradually fading sky, and sighed.

The breeze was still there, but the sky was no longer the same.

Night has fallen, I don't know when, a cold crescent moon has quietly climbed into the dark blue quiet night sky, perhaps because of shyness, it put on a thin veil for itself, the bright and hazy moonlight sprinkled to the ground, the silver-white afterglow seems to flow through the layers of barriers, dripping in all corners of this city, the stars are dotted, so beautiful.

The sky is getting colder and colder, and unconsciously, it always gives people the illusion that it is a cold that penetrates deep into the soul and freezes to the bone marrow.

Instead of decreasing, the number of pedestrians on the streets seems to be increasing, but many people involuntarily hug their arms.

The sparse lights of Shengxuan City gradually turned on, clusters of bright lights, like flowers blooming in the night sky, illuminating the path of pedestrians, and similarly, they also brought a special light to this dark time.

It is a unique movement for the night, quiet, beautiful and harmonious.

Under the reflection of the lights, the round of crescent moon is even more confusing, the moon shadow is swaying, the moonlight is blurred, and the moonlight is hazy, giving people a sense of "coming out after a long time, still holding the pipa and half covering the face".

The old man looked at Ouyang Mingyue's thin body, the pity on his face became heavier, he didn't hide anything, and directly admitted: "Well, since you came here, I've been here." ”

As he spoke, he raised the wine gourd in his hand, pulled out the stopper tied to the neck of the gourd, and poured a sip of strong wine into his mouth, some wine went down his stomach, his face was as usual, there was no change, but his eyes became brighter, and his expression seemed to be a little painful.

The old man's name is Ouyang Drunk, he is the patriarch of Ouyang Mingyue's family, and he is also the most trusted person by his father's side, when Ouyang Mingyue was young, his father was always very busy, and he couldn't spare much time to accompany him, most of the time when he was a child, Ouyang Drunk accompanied him.

In Ouyang Mingyue's memory, no matter what task Ouyang Zui was performing, no matter how busy he was, he would always squeeze out some time to accompany him, regardless of blood relationship, in Ouyang Mingyue's heart, Ouyang Zui was more like a father than his father.

Since Ouyang Mingyue can remember, Ouyang Zui has no other hobbies, but likes wine, no matter what time it is, his wine gourd never leaves his body, and it is never empty.

Wine has become an indispensable part of his life.

Nie Donglai and Mu Guitian would never have imagined that during such a long period of time that they were chatting with Ouyang Mingyue, there would be someone who had been by their side all the time, quietly watching all this, and they didn't know it all the time.

If it weren't for Ouyang Zui taking the initiative to appear, even Ouyang Mingyue, who was most familiar with him, wouldn't have noticed it at all, let alone them.

It seems that this ordinary-looking old man doesn't seem to be really that ordinary.

"Father still doesn't worry about me?"

Hearing this, a trace of stubbornness flashed on Ouyang Mingyue's face, and she seemed to be a little annoyed.

Ouyang Zui sighed softly and said, "Don't blame the Overseer, he is also for your good." ”

"For my good, since it's for my good, then why can't he even spare time to spend with me when I was young? My request is very simple, even if he accompanies me for a quarter of an hour every day, I will be satisfied, but he doesn't, sometimes I can't even see his shadow for months, I don't even know what my mother looks like since I was a child, he can be said to be all I have, all I have, Uncle Drunk, do you know the status of a father in the mind of a young child?"

"I know!"

Ouyang opened his mouth and said, "But the Overseer has his own ......."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ouyang Mingyue, "He has his own hardships, right? I don't understand, what kind of hardships can make a father ignore his children?"

"Is this what he calls good for me? Uncle drunk, you will excuse him every time, and every time you say that he has a problem, then you tell me, what is his problem?"

Ouyang Mingyue's emotions became more and more excited, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, silently crossed his cheeks, dripped from his jaw, and melted into the darkness.

"I ......"

Ouyang Zui opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't say a word, the things of the year were not something that could be explained clearly in a few words, and he didn't know how to explain it to Ouyang Mingyue.

There were more and more teardrops on Ouyang Mingyue's face, and he didn't wipe them, as if he couldn't feel anything, letting these bitter waters flow freely.

"Could it be that in his eyes, I will always be a child who will not grow up? Even if I have given so much over the years, even if I have always tried my best in front of him, he can turn a blind eye?"

Ouyang Zui held the wine gourd tightly in his right hand, without saying a word, listening quietly, over the years, he had become accustomed to listening, he knew that Ouyang Mingyue needed to vent, and when he finished venting, everything would return to the original tranquility.

In the end, the tears also dried up, Ouyang Mingyue seemed to be a little tired, and his emotions were no longer so excited, he turned to look at Ouyang Zui, and said, "Uncle drunk, do you know? Sometimes how I wish you were my biological father." ”

Ouyang Zui's eyes were moist in an instant, and he stretched out his left hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes for him, and choked up: "Uncle Drunk has always treated you as his own child." ”

"I know!"

Ouyang Mingyue burst into tears and smiled, then her expression darkened, and she sighed: "It's a pity, I'm just a daughter after all, and I can't serve Uncle Drunk all my life." ”

It turned out that Ouyang Mingyue had been dressing as a man all along, but unfortunately, neither Nie Donglai nor Mu Guitian found out that she would be a daughter.

"Silly girl!"

Ouyang touched her hair drunken and doting, and said, "What's wrong with her daughter's body? The so-called heroes don't ask where they come from, who rules that women are inferior to men? Although you are a daughter, over the years, haven't you still been able to turn over those sons and brothers in Shengxuan City?"

"Besides, Uncle Drunk's greatest wish is to see you achieve something in the future, what can you do by serving a bad old man like me?"

"Hey, hey!"

Ouyang Mingyue smirked.

Ouyang Zui patted her on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Go back, otherwise your father will be in a hurry, you have to believe my Uncle Drunk, although Uncle Drunk will explain it to you clearly for a while, but your father really has his own hardships, and he really loves you, and he loves you no less than anyone else." ”

He no longer called Ouyang Mingyue's father the Overseer, but felt a lot more relaxed.

Hearing this, Ouyang Mingyue was still a little sullen, and said casually: "I hope so!"

Ouyang Zui shook his head, no longer persuading, watching Ouyang Mingyue grow up since he was a child, he really knew her character too well.

"That's right, Uncle Drunk!"

Ouyang Mingyue suddenly changed her words and said, "I haven't been to the shop for a long time, since we have arrived here, why don't we go in and take a walk?"

"Alright then, but first we'll have to get someone to send a message back. ”

Ouyang Zui knew that she was in a little irritable at this time, but he didn't want to go back so early, so he pushed the boat down the river and responded.

Seeing that Ouyang Zui agreed, Ouyang Mingyue nodded and agreed, and the two of them walked towards the square one after the other.
