In the blink of an eye. It has been a month since Lu Jiang was discharged from the hospital.

In a remote mountain village in a county town in Lu Jiang's hometown, Lu Jiang sat under a big tree in front of his house, looking at the scorching sun in a daze, and his thoughts were full of thoughts. It's been a month since he came back, but Lu Jiang hasn't completely come back to his senses at this time, everything, like in a dream, perhaps, all this is too beautiful, so that Lu Jiang is in a trance.

Just when Lu Jiang was full of thoughts, a simple figure sat silently beside Lu Jiang, he held a pipe in his hand, skillfully pinched the tobacco into a ball and put it into the pipe, crossed a match, made a "snort" sound, put it on the tobacco, and smoked it.

Smelling the smell of smoke that he hadn't smelled for many years, Lu Jiang's heart had an inexplicable joy, he turned his head to look at his father who was smoking a hookah silently, his heart warmed, his father, still so taciturn, in Lu Jiang's memory, his father didn't say much, and he didn't smile, so Lu Jiang was very afraid of his father since he was a child, but this time, his father's silence made Lu Jiang extra kind and warm, and he groaned a little, Lu Jiang said softly: "Dad, smoke less." ”

Father silently glanced at Lu Jiang, handed the pipe to Lu Jiang, Lu Jiang took the pipe knowingly, and was even more surprised in his heart, Lu Jiang used to smoke, and was strongly opposed by his father, but he didn't expect that this time his father would take the initiative to hand over the pipe.

Lu Jiang hesitated for a moment, he took the cigarette holder in his mouth, and took a puff gently, he only felt a little choked, Lu Jiang inhaled the cigarette into his lungs again, and only felt dizzy.

"Xiao Jiang, if you're under a lot of pressure outside, let's take a few bites. Sometimes, taking all the stress to heart is not good for the body. The silent father suddenly spoke, his words were low, his eyes were staring at Lu Jiang, and his calm eyes sometimes appeared complicated, distressed, caring, and loving.

Sensing the gaze in his father's eyes, Lu Jiang's heart tingled slightly, he nodded heavily, from childhood to adulthood, his father didn't say much, and he was extremely strict with himself, but the great fatherly love contained in the severity can only be experienced with his heart.

"When the rice is sold, you can do whatever you want. As for getting married, we won't force you, you're not too young anymore, and you should be sensible. Father said, and without waiting for Lu Jiang to answer, he stood up and walked into the house.

Looking at his father's back, Lu Jiang was sad, at this moment, Lu Jiang only felt that his father had aged too fast in the past two years, so fast that Lu Jiang had not had time to cherish it, he was already old.

"I've woken up from my dream, and it's time for me to wake up, and it's time to work hard. Lu Jiang's eyelids drooped slightly, squinted at the earth under the hot sun, and said softly.

A month and a half after Lu Jiang returned, Lu Jiang took the 70,000 yuan that his parents had saved and the 5,000 yuan he had lost for Li Er's injury to himself, and opened a pharmacy in the county town! Although Lu Jiang was not sure whether Dao Yuantian was really a dream, what he experienced was a lot of wealth, and his original purpose in opening a pharmacy was to collect medicinal materials, and he wanted to make alchemy himself.

Under Lu Jiang's painstaking management, the business of the pharmacy is also becoming more and more prosperous, coupled with the collection of a lot of wild medicinal materials, many merchants come to the county seat thousands of miles to buy Lu Jiang's collected medicinal materials, over time, Lu Jiang simply started the business of selling medicinal materials, and the precious medicinal materials have been left by him, although he has not been in contact with alchemy, but under the influence of Daoyuan Tian's ears, he also has a little understanding of alchemy, he will refine the medicinal materials into pills for his parents to take, and Lu Jiang's refined pills gradually take effect, and his parents are more energetic after taking them.

Although Lu Jiang thought about using alchemy to increase his wealth, he didn't do it, one, he didn't want to use alchemy to interfere with the social order, two, he had experienced too much, he had already looked down on the rich and the poor, as long as he could accompany his parents, the nourishment of life was enough.

Two years later, Lu Jiang took his parents far away in the countryside to the county seat, and built a small villa in the county, bought a domestic car, and lived a nourishing life.

In the fourth year of his return, Lu Jiang got married, and his wife was the fat clothing owner of Lu Jiang's shop, named Luo Chan.

In the fifth year, Lu Jiang gave birth to a chubby son, and his father Lu Hai named him: Lu Tian.

After coming back, Lu Jiang's life was nourishing and moist, with his parents, wife and children, he was extremely satisfied with the status quo.

In the tenth year of return.

On this day, at night, Lu Jiang, who has entered middle age, stood on the balcony of the villa, looking down at the brightly lit county town in front of him, with a confused expression, in recent years, he has stood on the balcony alone more and more times, and has a happy family, which is what Lu Jiang dreamed of in Daoyuantian, but now, for some reason, Lu Jiang always feels that everything is too beautiful, and the beauty makes him feel unrealistic.

At this time, warm hands were inserted between his hands from behind Lu Jiang's back, wrapping around his waist, Lu Jiang was slightly stunned, his eyes flashed slightly, he put his hands on the delicate little hands, patted them lightly twice, and said, "Chanchan, is Xiaotian asleep?"

The person who came was Lu Jiang's wife, Luo Chan.

"Hmm!" Luo Chan murmured softly, she pressed her face to Lu Jiang's cup, and suddenly said softly: "Lu Jiang." ”

"Huh?" Lu Jiang tilted his head slightly.

"You're going to leave me, right?" Luo Chan asked suddenly.

Lu Jiang was shocked, a different color flashed in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why do you say that?"

"It's been six years, and I'm finding myself getting farther and farther away from you. Luo Hui held Lu Jiang's hand with more force, she sobbed softly: "I've been sleeping with you for six years, but I found that I have never seen through you, you are calm, calm, steady, before, I thought you were mature, but now, I found that I can't see through you, you are like a mystery, people can't figure it out, you are calm and terrible, calm as if illusory." ”

"It's been six years, except in front of your parents, I have rarely seen you smile, even in the face of Xiaotian, you have never smiled. Lu Jiang, please tell me, it's me thinking too much. Luo Chan's body trembled slightly, and tears wet Lu Jiang's clothes, making Lu Jiang unbearable.

Turning around, Lu Jiang put his hands on Luo Chan's cheeks, slowly raised her face, and looked at Luo Chan's delicate face, Lu Jiang had a struggle in his eyes, and a sense of stinging in his heart, looking at Luo Chan, Lu Jiang seemed to have returned to Daoyuan Heaven, and saw the first beauty in the Chongling region, the empty cicada fairy.

Luo Chan and the empty cicada fairy are too similar and too similar, except for the fairy energy, the two are almost carved out of the same mold.

Lu Jiang took a deep breath and said softly, "Chanchan, it's you thinking too much." ”

Luo Chan broke free of Lu Jiang's hands, she turned to leave, and after a few steps, she suddenly paused and said softly: "Lu Jiang, if you want to leave one day, please tell me, in this way, I will not remember you forever." As she spoke, Luo Chan disappeared into the night.

Looking at Luo Chan's back, Lu Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and the struggle in his eyes became more and more intense, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "Isn't this really a dream?"
