Chapter 6: Ten Years Away
The day is just in time.
The next day, Qin Qianye woke up, the sky was already bright, and when he regained consciousness a little, he felt that his headache was terrible. He rubbed his temples vigorously to keep himself awake as much as he could.
A gust of wind climbed over the eaves of the window, and rolled into the house. The autumn wind was solemn, and for a while, the entire courtyard seemed to be filled with this bleak atmosphere.
"You're awake", Shang Zhong was already sitting there at some point, still with a kind smile on his face.
The traces of the years are deeply portrayed on the wise face of the old man, and anyone who sees the old man's face can feel the situation that the years are urging people and the days are waning.
"Ah", Qin Qianye groaned in pain and sat up hard. Puzzled, he asked, "Grandpa, why are you here?"
"Chiba, you drank a lot of wine yesterday and got very drunk, so naturally you will sleep a little longer, so don't think about practicing anymore. It's already noon, you have eaten and rested, anyway, the practice is not bad for a day or two", Shang Zhong said lightly.
When Qin Qianye heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately remembered what happened yesterday, and immediately struggled, and said lightly: "Grandpa, I really shouldn't have drunk indiscriminately yesterday, I really shouldn't have made you worry, it's really damned." ”
Shang Zhong gently took Qin Qianye's hand and said with a smile: "You kid, it's not a big deal, you don't have to be serious." It's just that getting drunk can relieve some sorrow once or twice, but if you get too drunk, it will inevitably become a weapon to hurt your body, and getting drunk often only makes people make more mistakes, you have to pay attention to moderation!" After saying that, he patted Qin Qianye's shoulder and asked him to get up.
Qin Qianye hurriedly responded: "Yes, Qianye will never be like this in the future." He raised his head and looked around, and suddenly found that Shang Zhong's eyes were slightly red, obviously he hadn't slept all night, thinking that he was drunk last night, and the old man was worried about himself, so he stayed here all night. I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart and asked, "Grandpa, your eyes?"
Shang Zhong saw what Qin Qianye was thinking, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm not in the way, it's just that I happened to blow some cold wind outside this morning, and my eyes are still swollen." ”
When Qin Qianye heard this, he felt guilty in his heart, he knew that Shang Zhong was most afraid of the cold wind, and he would never go out early in the morning for no reason, the tiredness of his eyes must be because he had been guarding himself last night and had never closed his eyes. Thinking of this, Qin Qianye's heart became more and more complicated, and a burst of sourness surged up, and he was speechless for a long time.
There was silence for a long time, and suddenly, Shang Zhong seemed to have made up his mind, sighed deeply, and finally said, "Child, don't stand, sit there, I have something to say to you," he pointed to the bench next to him.
Qin Qianye sat down as he said, he saw that Shang Zhong's expression was so heavy, and he knew that he must have something important to say. I thought to myself, "Are you afraid that I will get drunk and talk nonsense yesterday and tell me everything about leaving here?" If that were the case, Grandpa wouldn't have been so calm. If so, what should I do? But now that he is happy, how can I disobey him......"
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Qianye felt a sense of melancholy in his heart, and he only felt very embarrassed.
At this time, I heard Shang Zhong say slowly: "In the blink of an eye, your parents have been away for seven or eight years, and you and I have relied on each other for all these years, and you have finally grown up, which finally made me let go of the big stone in my heart." I don't have many days left, so I can't help but be anxious, and I let you marry without tears, just thinking about this last thing on my mind, so that I can die blindly, and I can go to see your mother. ”
"Grandpa......", Qin Qianye saw the sadness that Shang Zhong said, and was in a hurry, and was just about to say something to persuade him.
Shang Zhong waved his hand, stopped him, and continued: "Child, over the years, I have been treating you as your mother's shadow, allowing myself to be comforted, but I can't live with you. I always thought that I knew you very well, so I never thought about what you thought in my heart, and only regarded you as an ignorant child, which seems to be wrong in the end. I haven't even been able to know the pain you've been hiding in your heart for so many years...... Ha ha. ”
He generally said, smiling wryly.
Qin Qianye couldn't bear the sadness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are too worried, I don't have any pain, I just like to play petty, don't take it to heart." ”
Shang Zhong touched Qin Qianye's head and said with a smile: "You kid, you have been sensible since you were a child, and you don't want to let your grandfather worry about it too much, and you still don't want to tell the truth." Yesterday you were drunk, and you talked a lot, and you have revealed all that is in your heart, but this is good, I finally know what is in your heart. ”
Qin Qianye was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do for a while, she just looked at Shang Zhong blankly. Xin said: "Did I really say everything?"
Shang Zhong said again: "You don't have to worry, although what you think in your heart may not be what I want, but I won't blame you, after all, you have grown up and can do what you want to do, as for your relationship with no tears, if you really don't want to do it in your heart, I will go to your Uncle Shang and cancel your family affairs." It's just that if you think in your heart, you will go out of the mountain to find your father in the future, and ask the immortals to ask. These things are bound to be very dangerous to do, so you need to be careful. ”
At this point, Shang Zhong took a long breath, obviously very tired.
He stopped Qin Qianye from holding his hand, and continued: "Actually, there was a great secret about your father back then, but you were still young, so you never told you.
Speaking of this, Shang Zhong's expression became solemn, and he said: "Actually, this matter is not that we deliberately want to hide it from you, but there are many absurdities in this matter, which are inexplicable, and its danger is even more unpredictable. ”
When Qin Qianye heard this, he already vaguely knew that Qin Yishan's disappearance for no reason must have hidden a great secret, which must involve their life and death whereabouts. Thinking that the old man could agree to him cancel his family affairs and let him go out of the mountain, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and with the strength of his hand, he actually pressed the armrest of the bench next to him into two.
Seeing this, Shang Zhong didn't think much about it, he just thought that Qin Qianye's heart was too depressed, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said worriedly: "Child, you don't need to be excited, since I have decided to tell you what happened back then, naturally I will not regret it." But today I have worked so much that I am very tired, and when I talk about that incident, I have to think of your mother, which really makes me feel overwhelmed. I know that you are anxious to know, I am afraid that you can't wait for tonight, if you want to know what happened back then, you can ask you Uncle Zhao, back then, he and your father, and your Uncle Shang were brothers with different surnames, and he knew the inside story better than me. Go to him now, and say that I told you to go, and he will tell you everything. ”
After that, Shang Zhong seemed to be extremely tired and closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Qin Qianye looked at this crumbling old man, and felt sad for a while, he couldn't imagine that he was drunk and misguided, and in the end he still let this old man know these thoughts, but at this time, he couldn't remedy it. I don't know what strange things happened to my father back then, so that the old man was so dignified, and I was very eager to know. Thinking of this, he jumped up, walked to Shang Zhong and bowed a few times, looked at the old man in silence with a painful heart, turned around and hurried to Zhao Sanye's house.
