At noon, when the old man returned from the village, he was a little lost and sat by the river with his head down.

Chen Yunqiu sat next to him, not knowing how to comfort him, the birth, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people were too heavy, and the words were too pale in front of these.

Chen Yunqiu was also a little guilty, when Chen Jinzhi said that his physique was different from ordinary people, he was a little happy in his heart. Although this guilt was unreasonable, he felt like he had secretly hidden something delicious and did not share it with those close to him.

After a while, the old man had returned to normal, he looked at the little guy beside him, and sighed a little, obviously he should be a carefree age, but Chen Yunqiu was as boring as a little adult.

The old man raised his hand and touched Chen Yunqiu's head, of course he couldn't touch anything, but Chen Yunqiu still felt it, so he looked up at him.

"Xiao Yunqiu, thank you for talking to me these days, don't be too sad, these things are normal. The old man's smile was kind, as if he was looking at his little grandson.

"I'll carry the coffin for the old grandmother later, and go to your pillar of incense by the way. ”

The custom of Jingguo is to bury in the earth, and after death, the mourners help to arrange the appearance and bury them immediately. Because they think that people die as a big sleep, and it is too disturbing for people to be surrounded by a bunch of people, and the dead should be safed as soon as possible.

The old man was still smiling, nodded, and said, "Okay, when I come back, I will say goodbye to you, and confess to Immortal Master Chen for me, this kind of yin thing like mine will interfere with his cultivation around, right?" I have heard people say this, but only you can talk to me, so I will rely on this." ”

After speaking, the old man smiled like an old naughty boy.

Chen Yunqiu was even more sad: "Are you leaving?"

"Well, you're going to accompany my old woman, I heard that the road down there is not easy to walk. ”

"Grandpa, what's your name?"

"Don't bother you, knowing my name might be bad for you. However, "the old man became serious," and the young man should smile more, and if he can't go back, he can't go back, and it's not bad to live a good life here. ”

Chen Yunqiu nodded and said, "If I really can't go back, I'll live here well." ”

"That's good. Let's go, don't worry about my old bones. ”

"Hmm. ”

Bon voyage. Chen Yunqiu thought silently in his heart.

After being stunned by the river for a while, Chen Yunqiu stood up and asked Chen Jinzhi, Qu Zhuyun, and Zu Li to help carry the coffin.

"By the way, Uncle Chen, the old man said that he might have disturbed your cultivation for a while, and he was a little sorry for you. ”

Chen Jinzhi thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After Zu Li told his mother about the situation, Qi Si told the funeral attendant in the village that several relatives from the old seller's house had come to help carry the coffin.

It's a pity that Zu Li and Chen Yunqiu's height is still not enough, so they can only follow the coffin.

There was no banquet and no singing, Chen Yunqiu was a little unaccustomed to this kind of funeral after all, so he hummed a farewell song in a low voice.

There is no name on the tombstone of the old man's house, only a sentence engraved "a peaceful life", I heard that the old grandmother had found a mourner before she died, saying that it would be buried with her family, and the money was settled at that time.

Chen Yunqiu put on the pillar incense, took one last look, and followed Chen Jinzhi back to the wooden house.

In fact, Chen Yunqiu didn't know much about the old man, he had only eaten dog food for him and his lover, and he didn't know anything else, he didn't know anything else, he didn't know the name of his birthplace, he didn't know anything like that, but he knew that his lover liked to watch the sunset.

After a month or two of getting along, I can't talk about deep feelings, not to mention the language barrier at the beginning.

But he was still very uncomfortable.

......

What's even more uncomfortable is that in the evening, Zu Li ran back as soon as he returned to the village, and the news came that Jingguo had begun to recruit soldiers, and Zu Li said that he wanted to be a soldier.

When Chen Jinzhi heard Zu Li say this, he glanced at Chen Yunqiu.

Chen Yunqiu also regretted it very much, he knew that he wouldn't say that the big man of the bullshit man would be for the country and the people, if Zu Lizhen went to join the army because of this, then Chen Yunqiu would have to die of guilt.

So Chen Yunqiu decided to ask carefully what made him give up his cultivation and choose to join the army.

"Didn't you say Brother Qiu? If no one joins the army, then the country will have no one to protect it, and it will be bullied. ”

Hearing that Zu Li's reason was not that the great man of chivalry was for the country and the people, Chen Yunqiu breathed a sigh of relief. Still, "When did I say anything like that?"

"Brother Qiu, you said it when you told the story before. Zu Li looked at Chen Yunqiu with big and small eyes.

Chen Yunqiu turned his head and asked Chen Jinzhi.

Chen Jinzhi nodded.

“...... Ah, that's right, but you're still young, and no one will accept you when you go to join the army, so you should follow your master and practice hard, so that you can contribute more to the country in the future. ”

Zu Li nodded ignorantly to show understanding.

Chen Jinzhi spoke at this time: "Shouldn't we leave?"

Chen Yunqiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Indeed, I also have to take a good look at this world. But what about Zu Li?"

"Of course follow us, this place is close to Yong'an City, I will say hello to the Sword Sect in Yong'an City, Zu Li's mother no matter whether she is here, in the Sword Sect or in Yong'an City, no one dares to bully her. She lives wherever she wants. "Elder Chen took on the demeanor of the Great Elder of the Sword Sect, completely ignoring that he had sneaked out.

"Are you sure Zu Li is going with us?" Chen Yunqiu looked at Zu Li.

"Can't my mother go with us?" Zu Li hesitated.

Chen Yunqiu looked at Chen Jinzhi again.

"Okay, you can go and ask her. We don't have anything to pack, so we'll head out when you're sure. Chen Jinzhi is still decisive.

"What about Li Yingqiu?" Zu Li asked again.

"This little girl... Zu Li, you must know that we are not going out for an outing, we may be going for several years or even more than ten years. In Li Yingqiu's life, we can only be regarded as passers-by, and we will not go on together forever. Chen Yunqiu looked at Zu Li and said seriously, "You have already worshiped Uncle Chen as a teacher, so I have to take you with me, otherwise we won't interfere too much in your life." ”

"Then she'll be very sad," Zu Li muttered.

The four-winged cloud moth lay on Chen Yunqiu's body, watching this scene.
