After reading the contents of the letter, the husband and wife could not calm down for a long time. They never imagined that a letter could contain so much sadness, helplessness, and love.

Hao Ren pondered for a long time and asked Chen Cheng, "Orange, what do you think?"

Chen Cheng didn't speak, but Hao Ren had already found the answer in Chen Cheng's eyes. As Zhu Jingshan said, Chen Cheng and Hao Ren, who are orphans, are the people who can feel Zhu Mianmian's situation at this time the most in this jade fairy world. They are unwilling and unwilling to let these two children live alone.

As for the anger, there may be some before seeing the letter.

Chen Cheng's eyes were like a long river embankment, blocking the countless surging tides. There was no anger in her eyes, only empathetic sadness.

"He took Zhu Zhu with him, and he definitely won't be able to go far in such a short time. If we want to go to the Northern Regions, we must go to the ferry port of Liuye Island, and the largest ferry will not go to sea until the time of You, and we still have time to find him. ”

"Do you want to bring Mianmian?" Chen Cheng blinked, and tears eventually spilled out of the riverbank.

"No, I'll just go. You stay at home and take care of your three children. Hao Ren didn't hesitate, moved the letter and storage bag to Chen Cheng, and touched her head.

When he turned around, Chen Cheng took his hand: "You tell him that we will help him bring Da Mianmian and Changchuan well." However, let him remember that if Zhu Zhu wakes up, he must come back as quickly as possible. ”

Hao Ren patted Chen Cheng's hand, hurried down Fengxia Mountain with her advice, and sat on the earth dragon to rush to the ferry of Liuyezhou.

On the territory of the Jade Immortal Realm, if you want to reach the Northern Territory from the Southern Regions, the fastest way is to cross the Misty Sea in the middle, the unpredictable sea weather coupled with the various dangerous beasts in the ocean, only a few safe routes stacked with countless lives can smoothly bring the people on the ferry to that strange place.

The fare of this ferry is extremely expensive, although there is no need to pay Yuan Jing when you get on the boat, but if you do not pay off the top grade Yuan Jing per person when you get off the ship, you will be detained on the boat. On the way back, he will be thrown into the sea by the high-ranking monks enshrined by this ferry, and there is no place to bury.

However, unknown lands can bring unknown wealth, and every year countless monks plan to take a ferry to the strange other side to make a windfall. The yearning for money, no matter what world it is, is the deepest desire in people's hearts.

Zhu Jingshan, who was carrying a soul-nourishing coffin, looked out of place with these monks who hoped to get rich. More than one person came up to him and asked him, what kind of goods were in this coffin-like box, how many yuan crystals he wanted to sell in the Northern Regions, and if he could make money, remember to bring them.

Zhu Jingshan sat silently beside the soul-nourishing coffin, ignoring the people who came to inquire. He looked at the sundial on the boat, and there was less than half an hour left before the ferry left.

He could clearly see the people on the ferry, and if he saw a figure he didn't want to see, he could hide himself as soon as possible, and the ferry was three stories high, and no one could find it.

Suddenly, Zhu Jingshan got up and wanted to leave, because the familiar figure in the crowd made him quite nervous. In the end, though, he didn't go away, because the person he was most afraid of seeing wasn't brought.

Hao Ren saw Zhu Jingshan from a distance, and he walked through the crowd and stepped on the huge ferry that was about to take Zhu Jingshan to the land of hope.

Hao Ren held back a lot of words and wanted to say to Zhu Jingshan, maybe it was that he was not worthy of being a father, maybe he was a coward, and it was more likely that he scolded him with the most ugly words.

However, the moment Hao Ren saw Zhu Jingshan clearly, all his anger and incomprehension were like slapping the waves on the side of the ferry, and he turned around and disappeared without a trace in the deep blue sea.

Zhu Jingshan motioned to the four big men around him to leave for a while, he had something to say to this menacing person.

"Don't you know me? Actually, I almost don't know myself. If it weren't for the porters just now, I wouldn't have known that I had become what I am now. ”

Hao Ren still remembers the first time he saw Zhu Jingshan, when he was wearing a bright yellow monk's robe, clean and proper, and his hair was tidied up at all. Those eyes were full of hope for the future, and their faces were full of flying light.

Today's Zhu Jingshan is already in a different situation, the inky black monk's robe has not been taken care of for a long time, and his black hair has become gray and mottled at this time, especially the pair of Mu Zi, just like a person in his twilight years, lifeless.

"You're here to persuade me to go back? I'm not going back. As I said, by the time I wrote that letter, I had already given up all my identity. For me now, I'm just a poor guy trying to save my wife. ”

Zhu Jingshan's words Hao Ren didn't sound surprised, and on the way here, he was even prepared for the worst if he couldn't find anyone. But it seems that in the end, Zhu Jingshan still did not choose to hide.

"I'm not here to get you back. Hao Ren looked at Zhu Jingshan's lifeless eyes and said calmly.

"Then you're here to condemn me? Condemn me for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a father? Condemn me for not saying goodbye and leaving my daughter?" Zhu Jingshan asked loudly.

Hao Ren didn't speak, just shook his head. He turned around and sat next to Zhu Jingshan, looked at the people coming and going at the ferry, and said, "I'm here to cheer you on." ”

Zhu Jingshan even thought that his ears were hallucinating.

"Why? Isn't it even worth it for someone like me to make you angry?" Zhu Jingshan smiled bitterly and said a little miserably.

"I can understand you, you are different from those parents who abandoned me and Chen Cheng. In the limited contact, Chen Cheng and I can feel your love for home. ”

"Is love useful? Can it make Zhu Zhu wake up? Can it bring me back to Mianmian and Changchuan?"

Zhu Jingshan was silent for a while, and then said, "It can't." ”

"But it gives you courage. Let you choose to go to such a dangerous place to find the only possibility. ”

"I'm here to tell you that Chen Cheng and I can understand you. If I were in such a situation, I would make the same choice as you. I came here just to give you encouragement, this journey is dangerous, you and Zhu Zhu must return safely, you must remember, your son and daughter are waiting for you at home!"

Hao Ren sat beside him for a long time before standing up. He patted Zhu Jingshan on the shoulder, and then walked away.

Zhu Jingshan looked at the soul coffin beside him, this was the first time after Zhu Zhu fell asleep, and he felt warmth in his chest.

Just as Hao Ren was about to step off the ferry, he suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted to Zhu Jingshan: "By the way, Chen Cheng asked me to tell you, she will help you raise Mianmian and Changchuan." But you have to remember that as soon as Zhu Zhu wakes up, you will have to bring her back as quickly as possible. Also, if Zhu Changchuan is naughty, I won't show mercy. ”

Zhu Jingshan didn't reply, but just fell on the soul coffin. Tears continued to slide down his face, at this moment, he only felt that the dangerous road was no longer dangerous, and there was no haze in his heart, only full of blood.

The last group of people rushed to get onto the ferry, and the servants on board had begun to remove the pedals from the side of the boat.

Zhu Jingshan watched Hao Ren disappear into the sea of people from afar, and words could not express his gratitude to the couple. He can only offer his sincerest wishes for them and for his children every day to come.

The miserable life did not disappoint Hao Ren and his wife in human nature, but gave them a sensitive and kind heart.

In the end, the miserable life did not make Zhu Jingshan lose his last hope, and on the other side of the sea, there would be light again.

The ferry slowly sailed out of the ferry port of Liu Ye Chau, carrying a boatload of people, sailing to the other side full of opportunities and hopes.

......

Hao Ren and Chen Cheng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhu Mianmian, neither of them knew how to speak, but Zhu Mianmian spoke first with a crying voice.

"Aunt Chen, is he going to pick up his mother? I heard him say it in my sleep yesterday. Is it that my grandfather won't let my mother come back, so my father has to go and bring my mother back?"

Hao Ren and Chen Cheng were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and then thought of Zhu Jingshan's letter and said:

"Yes, your grandfather hasn't seen your mother for a long time, so he doesn't want your mother to come back. Your father saw that you missed your mother so much, so he could only go and bring your mother back in person. ”

Zhu Mianmian wiped a handful of snot and wiped it on himself and said, "It's going to be a long, long time." I heard that my grandfather's house was far away from here. ”

Chen Cheng was really distressed, so he took Zhu Mianmian into his arms and said with a crying voice: "Yes." Therefore, Mianmian and her younger brother lived in Aunt Chen's house for a few days first, so as to help Aunt Chen take care of Hao Yun's younger brother. Aunt Chen knows that it is good for Mianmian to hug Hao Yun's younger brother, but Hao Yun's younger brother never cries when you are there! ”

Hao Yun, who was lying on the side, felt a little helpless in his heart, when did he cry wildly? But at this time, Hao Yun also guessed the general situation of the matter in his heart. It seems that the siblings may be even more pitiful than they imagined. Hao Yun looked at Zhu Changchuan on the side, and was a little glad that he could still sleep so deeply at this time.

"Aunt Chen, it's amazing for me to hold the child, and Changchuan doesn't cry much. But Aunt Chen, did Dad tell you when he would be able to come back?" Zhu Mianmian stretched out her hands and hugged Chen Cheng tightly, and asked in a muffled voice.

"Your father said that when the seed sprouted, he came back with your mother. Speaking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't cry anymore, so he could only hug Zhu Mianmian tighter.

Zhu Mianmian said in a daze: "I, I know, when the seeds germinate, my father will come back." Because I dreamed yesterday when I dreamed of them, I dreamed that they were under the tree, waving to me......"

Maybe she was tired from crying, and Zhu Mianmian fell asleep in Chen Cheng's arms.

No one can tell whether Zhu Mianmian really believed Chen Cheng's words, or if she already knew that this was a big lie.

However, in the years that followed, Zhu Mianmian could often be seen squatting alone in front of the seed, crying silently.
