A breeze blows, and the cold morning looks particularly biting.

Shang Wu clutched his clothes with tears, as if he sensed the cold, and his body trembled slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked softly, as if talking to herself: "You mean Uncle Qin is still alive, and you want to go outside to find him?"

Although she said outside, she didn't know where the outside was, because in her heart, this Taoyuan Village and the endless mountains around it were her whole world, everything outside was just a dream for her, far away and endless, she just vaguely felt that if Qin Qianye went there, she might never see him again in this life.

Thinking of this, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, but she knew that no matter what the reason, she couldn't make him give up in front of her. From the determined look in his eyes, she saw an unprecedented determination, maybe he was ready to leave, he was still here at this moment, maybe he was just waiting for the right moment. But who knows when it is time for him to leave, this kind of possible separation at any time always makes people break their intestines for no reason, and suddenly the corners of her eyes began to ache, and there were faint tears about to flow out.

Suddenly, there was a tiger roar from the distant mountains, and the birds that had stayed in the treetops suddenly flew farther away in panic, and many withered yellow leaves were shaken down by the sound of the startled birds, and in the long wind of early autumn, it seemed even more gloomy.

Shang Wu rolled up her clothes with tears, as if she sensed the cold, she trembled slightly when she spoke, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked softly: "You mean Uncle Qin is still alive, you want to go outside to find him?" Although she said outside, she didn't know where the outside was, because in her heart, this Taoyuan Village and the endless mountains around it were the whole world, everything outside was just a dream for her, far away and endless, she only thought that if Qin Qianye went there, she would never see him again in this life. So her heart was inexplicably filled with a sense of loss, but she knew that no matter what the reason, she couldn't make him give up in front of her. The corners of her eyes began to ache.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is ten years.

Shang Zhong smiled softly, he felt very happy because he could finally rest assured. Qin Qianye has grown up, not only does he look as handsome as his father, but his ten years of hard work have also made him as heroic as his father, he is the most outstanding young man in this village.

Shang Zhong was lazily lying on the bench by the window, through the window he could see the maple trees in the backyard, the blood-red maple leaves were falling down one after another, as if blood stains were spilled all over the sky, which undoubtedly reminded him of his daughter Shang Mingyue, maybe the blood when she fell off the cliff was sprayed like this......

Thinking of this, his heart thumped, and he suddenly stood up.

Alas, it turned out to be a dream.

How sad it is for a person to endure such desolation and grief in old age. He sighed and lay back in the chair. He was indeed old, too old to bear any more sadness, and during this time he was often dizzy, having those painful dreams, and he knew that he was not long dead.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should set a family affair for Qin Qianye, because this was already his last wish, as long as he completed this, he could leave this world with confidence. It's just that in the past few years, he has asked Qin Qianye a few times if there is anyone he likes, but Qin Qianye has always avoided it, and he doesn't seem to be willing to mention the marriage at all, so it has been delayed until now, but today, Shang Zhong suddenly felt that the child had grown up, and this matter must not be delayed any longer, and he must complete this last thing on his mind.

The fog has dissipated, and the morning sun has a slight warmth. Shang Zhong put on a leather robe and stood on the bluestone path in the vestibule with his hands in his hands, staring at the flocks of geese that passed by from time to time in the sky, and his vision gradually blurred. Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came, and Shang Zhong took a closer look, it was his clan nephew Shang Duren. He walked over quickly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Uncle, you are in a hurry to find me, is there something important?"

Shang Zhong waved his hand lightly, he looked at this sturdy man who had long since passed his prime, but was still as reckless as he was a teenager, and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Oh, it's the only one! I was in a hurry to call you, but it wasn't really a big deal, but I had something to discuss with you about the children." Recently, I realized that my body was getting worse and worse, and I was afraid that I would die soon, so I thought about it. ”

Shang Du's character has always been straightforward, he died of his father in his early years, and he has great respect for this kind and kind uncle, and he has always respected him as his own father, and he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "How could Uncle suddenly have such thoughts, your body has been very healthy at these times, how can it be so serious as you say." If there is something, you might as well just say it, as long as you can do it, you will definitely not give up, why bother to say such sad words. After that, he gently hugged Shang Zhong's shoulders and said, "Uncle has something to say, just say it in the house, this kind of weather is the heaviest, and you can't stay outside for a long time." ”

After speaking, he ignored Shang Zhong's words and went straight to the room to sit down.

Shang Zhong lay on the bench, pointed to the maple tree outside the window and said, "Duyi, do you still remember your sister Mingyue?" ”

Shang Du was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly, and was about to speak. Then I heard Shang Zhong say again: "Look at the maple tree in the courtyard, it was planted by my Chiba child when he first came here, and now it has grown so tall. That year was the time when your sister Mingyue left. ”

The words "Leave!" were so heavy to the old man that his voice trembled slightly.

Speaking of this, Shang Zhong seemed to feel sad again, sighed softly, and continued: "I only have one child in my life, Mingyue, but it's a pity that she went like this in the first place, and asked me, a white-haired person, to send a black-haired person." Alas, fortunately, she still left Chiba this bit of blood and bones, and accompanied me to the end of my life, although I have been afraid of Chiba for the child all these years, and now it is up to him to grow up. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but cry.

Shang Duyi hurriedly held Shang Zhong's hand and said, "Uncle, since it has been so many years, why do you have to remember it like this, and only add to your sadness?

When Shang Zhong heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't know how you have treated my uncle all these years, but I am now old, and in this life, apart from this little thing that I can't forget, there is nothing else to remember, so you don't need to persuade me." I called you here today, in the end, it was for Chiba's family affairs, I was thinking, it just so happened that your family had no tears and reached the age of marriage, Chiba, the child was usually the most talkative with your family without tears, as the saying goes, men should get married, women should get married, and their affairs should be time, so I called you here today, just to ask what you mean. After that, he looked deeply at Shang Duyi.

When Shang Du heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Everything is according to what the uncle said, don't say that there is no one in the village of Chiba, let them get married, and they will never be wronged without tears." What's more, now that the uncle himself is the master, there is no reason to disallow it. Speaking of which, back then, I was also in love with his father, Brother Yishan, and over the years, I regarded the child of Chiba as my own flesh and blood, even if the uncle didn't talk about it, I already thought about it in my heart. With that, I couldn't help but laugh happily.

Shang Zhong was also very happy in his heart, and said with a smile on his chin, In this case, you can go back and prepare for it. Shang Duyi knew that the old man couldn't talk for a long time and didn't dare to disturb it anymore, so he answered.
