Chapter 57: Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots
"Senior Gao, are you awake?" Ye Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief. If she came a little later, Old Man Gao might have choked his breath. However, he was too weak to run out of oil, and I was afraid that his days were numbered.
"You... Are you?" Old Man Gao tried to open his eyes wide, looking at Ye Qingchen, and his deep sunken eyes were full of confusion.
"I'm Ye Qingchen, and I'm here to visit you. Ye Qingchen stood beside the bed obediently and replied with a smile.
Old Man Gao realized it and nodded slowly.
"After all these years, you were the first person to visit me. Old Man Gao laughed at himself, "I'm a dying person, what is worth visiting?"
"I heard that Old Man Gao is a Dan Master, and the younger generations came to visit. ”
Danshi?!
These two words seem to have a magical power. Old Man Gao's eyes were originally dim and cloudy, but they suddenly became clear.
"Hahaha, Danshi?"
"Danshi!"
"I've forgotten that I used to be a Danshi. ”
Ye Qingchen was frightened for a while. I secretly said in my heart that this person is really a Dan Master!
Old Man Gao laughed and tried to sit up. Ye Qingchen helped him, and he was able to lean the head of the bed.
"It's ridiculous to say, in the past few decades, I told them that I used to be a Danshi, but no one believed me. Now, I'm dying, and someone is visiting. As he spoke, two tear stains appeared on Old Man Gao's self-deprecating face.
It seemed that he had endured a lot, and there was an endless desolation in his eyes.
"Do you believe I'm a Danshi?"
"Letter. Ye Qingchen nodded without hesitation. If she had doubts before she came, at this moment, she was extremely sure that the old man in front of her was a Dan Master.
"However, since you are a Dan Master, why have you chosen to remain incognito all these years?" Ye Qingchen asked softly.
"I used to be a Danshi, but I ceased to be a long-time ago. He tilted his head slightly, looking ahead, as if reminiscing about the past.
"Girl, you're the first to believe in me. Before I die, I can get your trust, and I can count it as a wish. ”
"It's just that for so many years, I've always wanted to talk to someone who believes in me, but I can't find it. Can you hear me tell me my story? ”
"Senior Gao, you are polite, Qingchen is very happy to hear your story. Not to mention that she was indeed very interested in the story of Old Man Gao, even if she was not interested, how could she refuse the last request of such a dying old man?
Maybe it was because he heard the news, Old Man Gao's spirit gradually improved, he thought about it for a while, and then told his story to Ye Qingchen.
Old man Gao's name is Gao Yuan, and he was born in a wealthy family in Cangzhou City. When he was young, he was also a cultivation wizard in Cangzhou City. It's just that when he was a teenager, his family was in the middle of the road, his parents died, and he wandered with his uncle to another country. During the years of wandering outside, he was fortunate to meet a famous teacher, and not only made rapid progress in cultivation, but also became a noble Danshi.
In the year of his establishment, he has traveled to many large domains and has become a prominent Danshi. In his days in a foreign land, he relied on his own efforts to achieve fame and a complete family. However, he never forgot his homeland. Many nights, dreaming back at midnight, he would always dream of Cangzhou, of his youth, and of his kind parents.
He longs to return to his roots and return to the place where his life began.
In the year when he was not confused, he finally resolutely gave up his fame and returned to his homeland, where he went to be a simple teacher, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, hoping that there would be more Danshi in his hometown.
Unfortunately, on the way back to Cangzhou, the blood condensed into ice.
