The scorching sun and the scorching summer have turned into a huge steamer, and being in it, like a sauna, is extremely difficult.

It seems that this kind of abrasive weather is already very annoying in other places, and Youzhou has always had few forests, and the sun hits directly, which is even more so, but for rich people, in fact, it doesn't matter what kind of weather, it's nothing more than the difference between spending more money and spending less.

The family no longer lives in the city, but the family moved outside the city, Lao Xin resigned from the tolerance of the yamen, including several brothers such as Skinny Monkey, all moved to the villa outside the city, anyway, the Zhuangzi is big enough, and they are brothers who have known each other for many years, so it is naturally fine.

What's even more fortunate is that when the family was repairing the old house in the city, they dug up a large box of gold under the water tank in the backyard.

The villa is very large, far better than the ordinary two-entry yard at the beginning, even the ordinary squires do not dare to hope that this manor can be used as a place to settle, there is a lotus pond in the Zhuangzi garden, which leads to the living water of the mountain stream, so there are also a lot of goldfish raised in it, which can enjoy the scenery and feng shui.

By the lotus pond, under the banana tree, there is a bamboo chaise longue, on which is lying a woman dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, who has not been carried away by the sudden wealth, and on the side, there is a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes is squatting on a small square bamboo bench, holding a fan, constantly fanning the woman on the chaise long.

Eighteen years later, the boy who had been in harmony with the birds under the peach blossom tree had grown up, but the mother who gave birth to him was getting old, but the years seemed to be particularly kind to this loving and kind woman, and for eighteen years, there were not many traces engraved on her face, and she looked as beautiful as she had been eighteen years ago.

The young man lay on the armrest of the chaise longue, shaking the fan in his hand lightly, driving away the irritating heat around him for his mother, and said with concern: "Mother, let's go back to the house, this day can be burning." ”

Although the two of them are in the shadow under the banana tree, it is still a hot summer, it is still unbearable, the sun outside is too big, even the insects no longer call, and they don't know where to rest.

The woman reclined on the bamboo chair for enjoying the coolness, closed her eyes, and only said softly.

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

The young man squinted, looked up at the sky, and immediately lowered his head, and said with concern: "Why don't I get you some ice to cool off?"

Only large families build ice cellars, store those ice preserved from winter, some princes and princes will even hold banquets in the ice cellar, even in the hot summer, it is still cool inside, enough to drink and have fun all night, so it can take ice in the summer to cool off, is undoubtedly the real rich and noble.

But she didn't want to, but she shook her head.

"For my mother, it's a waste, my mother is not hot, dust, you still send some to your father, especially your monkey uncle, who is still so angry when he is old, and it seems to be heartburn to eat hot food for him this summer, you go and get him some crushed ice, and put some grapes on top of which my mother froze in the well last night and send it, he likes this the most." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Mother, you still don't know Uncle Monkey, with his temperament, I'm afraid that I have already secretly prepared it myself, I just know, so I deliberately secretly hid some ice, so as not to be eaten by him once." ”

When the woman heard this, she smiled slightly, and said in a very gentle tone: "The child has really grown up, and everything has been thought through, and there is no need for my mother to teach you anymore." ”

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, mother, I'm already eighteen." ”

The woman opened her eyes suddenly, glanced at the young man on the side, then stretched out her finger and poked his eyebrows, and said, "No matter how old you are, you are still your mother's child." ”

The young man hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Yes, Qingchen will always be your son." ”

The woman lay back in her place, closed her eyes, and said slowly: "Mother, in this life, I have been very satisfied, and now I have no other thoughts, just thinking, when will I be able to hold my grandson, Chen'er, what do you say?"

When the young man heard this, his face turned slightly red, and he said helplessly: "Mother, what are you talking about." ”

The woman said softly: "Your father and I are not young anymore, and I don't know how many years to live, now I am waiting to see my grandson, and I will be satisfied, you have grown up, you must have your own home, you will leave us sooner or later, we don't want to be your bondage, the fish grow up, and we have to go to the rivers and lakes to break through." ”

The young man's eyes were slightly red, and he hurriedly said: "Mother, what do you say, you are all good people, you are good people, God bless, you will definitely live a long life, it is still early, when the time comes, you can not only see your grandson, but also your great-grandson, when the time comes, our family will still live together, how good." ”

The woman bowed slightly, smiled kindly, and whispered, "Yes, it's good, it's good." ”

-------

It was already the dead of night, Li Qingchen stood alone in the courtyard, lowered his head, and looked at the reflection of the bright moon in the pond in a daze, the fish in the water suddenly swung their tails, rippling with ripples, just like a piece of tiled rice paper suddenly wrinkled, and the night sky depicted on it also became wrinkled and blurry.

He came back to his senses, and suddenly let out a long sigh when he looked up to the sky.

If there is a dream that can satisfy all your fantasies, even if you already know that it is a dream, are you willing to wake up?

This is a problem.

Because illusion and reality are only relative, my heart is at peace, Fang is my hometown, where is the heart, where is the truth, this is a threshold that all beings in the world can never get around, but if this is a trap, it is also the most gentle plan set by God for all beings.

After all, it's better to have a choice than not to have one.

Breaking through the entrance, the spirit and soul are united, and everything in this life, including the hazy memories that have existed since the mother's womb, will emerge one by one like a scene reproduction, no matter how big or small, no matter how small.

But then there are all kinds of problems, some people have no desires, no desires, no obstacles, even if they see the past and this life, it is just a passing moment for them, and it will not affect anything, and some people can break it even if they have obsessions, and those who can't see through it will forever indulge in this wonderful dream of self-compilation. Li Qingchen, who fell asleep once, but finally woke up today, finally understood what the obsession in his heart was, and what was the thing that made him infinitely afraid.

It turned out that it was not the mother who took the initiative to abandon herself, but killed her, because the mother's womb awakened the power of heaven-given martial arts, but he was still a fetus, and he couldn't control it freely, and finally killed his mother, resulting in her tragic death.

And at the last moment of her life, she could actually choose to let the unborn child in her womb die and let herself live, but she didn't, she resolutely chose to sacrifice herself and let the life in her womb come to the world, this choice process was extremely smooth because she didn't even have the most basic hesitation.

But for this child who opened his mind early, this truth was too cruel, so cruel that he realized what "pain" was called early, so he finally chose to divide the memories of his birth, and together with the power that led to the source of all disasters, he sealed them in his Mud Pill Palace.

But the world is so wonderful, if he is finally taken away by an ordinary family, then it is impossible for him to set foot in martial arts in his life, because even if he seals his memory, he will instinctively reject this matter, but it is the person who picked him up from the martial arts of Youzhou Town.

And everything here is actually a reparation for all the regrets in his life, he knows that this is not true, but all this is so real, in this world, the mother who gave birth to him did not die, Lao Xin did not die, and he finally became his real father, and in this world, Luo Xian'er's family is also safe and sound, and he is also engaged to himself, and the two have been married for a year now.

These people are not illusory, he can clearly perceive that they are all real beings, they also have their own joys, sorrows, and lives, but these people are all around him.

This world is born and fulfilled by his desires, this is a world that belongs to him alone, and it is also a cage that traps him, but the key is whether he can be ruthless and treat it as a cage, or is he not happy to stay in this pond willingly, like the fish in this pond?

Li Qingchen closed his eyes, and there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, although the person who came was already trying to control himself from making a sound, but after so many years, even if he didn't look back, he just sniffed and smelled the fragrance in the air, and he knew who it was.

"Xian'er, why did you come out?"

Now Luo Xian'er has faded away from the coquettishness of a girl, and she has become more and more delicate and generous, but in her Qingchen brother, she is still the innocent girl.

Now that the other party already knew that it was her, Luo Xian'er no longer concealed it, and walked quickly from behind, but at the end, her movements slowed down.

She stretched out her hand, slowly hugged Li Qingchen's waist from behind, gently leaned her head on his back, and said softly: "Brother Qingchen had already woken up when she went out, seeing that Brother Qingchen never came back, Xian'er was scared and couldn't help but come out to find you, Brother Qingchen, what's wrong?"

Li Qingchen paused, turned around slowly, hugged her in his arms, looked at each other, and smiled slightly.

"It's nothing, it's too stuffy in the house, just come out and breathe, let's go, let's go back." ”
