mirage.

"Selling newspapers! Breaking news!! Su Xiaobai, the greatest navigator in the kingdom, has retired! The Lighthouse is now in ruins!" The newsboy's shouts spread throughout the streets and alleys.

At dusk, the newsboy sold out the newspapers and walked back with a few copper coins, but was suddenly dragged into an alley by several people.

"Don't grab! Don't grab! Please... I haven't eaten for many days..." The newsboy backed away repeatedly, but he couldn't stop these rough and tumble gangsters. Not only was he beaten severely, but his few remaining copper coins were also stolen. snatch away.

He sat up from the ground, sobbed a few times, and staggered out. The closer you get to the village, the peach trees grow densely, and a red brick house is located deep in the peach forest, like a fairyland on earth.

At this time, a young man was sitting on a chair in front of the house, basking in the sun. He was not wearing a veil, revealing his full head of black hair. Light pink petals fell on his forehead, and a light-colored soft blanket was spread on his body.

The newsboy looked at the young man for two or three seconds and held his breath.

"Um... hello, this is the newspaper you ordered this week." The newsboy handed the newspaper over in a low voice.

Su Mingan then picked up the veil and covered his face.

"It's okay. I have been sending you newspapers for almost a year, and I have already guessed that you are Captain Su Xiaobai. You live in seclusion here, you have no worries about food and clothing, and you are still so young... It is easy to guess who it is. The newsboy lowered his head: "It's okay if you don't wear a veil. I won't stare."

This captain, Su Xiaobai, has been known to everyone in the kingdom for the past twenty years. He is the most legendary navigator. The treasures he brought back from each voyage made this place the most powerful kingdom nearby. People say that he started a new century, allowing people to follow the footsteps of sirens and mermaids, and setting off a wave of sailing adventures in the world.

He never encounters storms or loses to pirates, as if he is being cared for by the gods. Some even say that he is an angel from the sea.

It's a pity that he retreated bravely at the most golden time, and both he and the deputy captain retired. Although from a time perspective, he is indeed quite young. But there are rumors that... this Angel of the Ocean will not grow old. Even though he wears a veil, his exposed palms are always as delicate as a young man.

This made people more and more curious, but unfortunately they could not find any trace of this legendary navigator after he retired.

The newsboy quietly raised his head and vaguely saw a pair of indifferent black eyes.

At this time, Yueyue walked out of the room. She lowered her head and was still playing games with her hands. It wasn't until she bumped into Su Mingan's back that she said "Ah" and covered her head.

"Don't play with your phone while walking." Su Mingan supported her, her steps staggered for a while, and a few silver threads floated in the air.

"Ok?"

"I said, don't use your mobile phone while walking." Su Mingan repeated. Her hearing is no longer very good, and she can't always hear the sound: "Before, you were still reading comics with a light on at night, but your eyes are getting worse and worse. You have to go to bed after twelve o'clock..."

They are the heroes of the kingdom, and the huge Duke's Palace is located in the royal city. But they just went to live in seclusion in this ordinary village. They didn't pay attention to sunrise and sunset. They had to go to the city to buy food and clothing. They usually lay on chairs and played with mobile phones and read comics. When Yueyue gets interested, she will raise a few flowers and plant a field, although most of them will die.

If we really want to live an ordinary life where men farm and women weave, I'm afraid I won't be able to grow even a grain of rice. Yue Yue also said with a smile that this is the survival level of modern people. Apart from grabbing mobile phones, the only thing left is to buy and buy.

"Although Ah Du has opened unlimited hotspots for you, you can't play games from morning to night. I thought you didn't go to sea because you wanted to experience ordinary farm life, but you ended up staying at home playing games every day..."

"I won't play until I finish clearing the game routine. By the way, I still have comic books in my room..." Yueyue didn't raise her eyelids.

"You have watched it several times over the years."

"You don't understand, some comics need to be recalled to read..."

They talked back and forth for several times before Yueyue saw the newsboy. She frowned: "Yeah...he heard everything."

The newsboy was a little confused: "What are you talking about? What's the hot spot?"

Yueyue glanced at the child and suddenly said: "By the way, Xiaobai, didn't you say before that it's tiring to go to the city to buy things all the time? It just so happens that this newsboy has been delivering newspapers to us for a year, and he looks good. , let him be an errand boy for us."

Su Mingan's fingers shrank.

This is just a way of saying aging. It wasn't that he was tired from running around, but... he felt that his body had begun to have difficulty with his legs and feet. Including Yue Yue...

"Okay! I promise to complete the task!" The newsboy's face turned red when he heard this, as if he had undertaken a major mission.

"Don't leave yet. I'll apply some medicine on you." Yueyue took out the medicine box and helped the newsboy apply the medicine.

The newsboy stared at Su Ming'an and blushed slightly.

Yueyue glanced at him: "Xiao Kai, that's the eldest brother, not the eldest sister. Although there is a veil, you know he is the captain, so you shouldn't admit his mistake."

The newsboy scratched his face shyly: "No...no."

"How old is this year?"

"twelve."

"Twelve...haven't gone to school yet?"

"I have no relatives... I've been running errands for people and I don't have a place to live."

"It seems that even if the kingdom is very prosperous, the people at the bottom are still like this. There are always people who don't have enough to eat."

"No... not at all. The uncles and aunts on the street are very nice and will give me a bite to eat. Boss Jiang from the cloth shop is even more nice. She would even send me some quilts when I usually sleep in a bridge hole."

Yueyue's fingers paused. Perhaps the word "sleeping in the bridge cave" irritated her. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Su Mingan: "Xiao Bai, I see that he is often covered in bruises. In the future, he will do things for us again. Why don't I adopt him? This will reassure him, lest he tell where we live."

"Your body is old, not your soul. Why do you really look like an old man and start to want to raise children." Su Mingan kept his eyes on the book in his hand: "If this is your wish, of course I respect it. Ask him if he is willing. willing."

He thought this was Yueyue's sudden kindness. After all, she had done many good deeds over the years. Establishing a welfare home, subsidizing children to go to school... Now she saw a more pitiful person, probably thinking of her who had been domestically abused. If she could have met a kind adult when she was a child, she wouldn't be in so much pain.

The newsboy wandered around in the world for a long time, and finally met someone who was willing to accept him. He immediately knelt down on one knee and swore to Yueyue that he would always remember her kindness.

Su Mingan took the money and asked the newspaper boy to find a school and treat it as an investment. When Yueyue couldn't walk anymore, at least there would be a local person to help her.

After the newsboy left with tears in his eyes, Su Mingan looked at Yueyue's white hair: "...Aren't you going to use your life authority? Chaoyan has always stayed young before, so you can be young again now." "You can't understand what I want to do. Experience the feeling of growing old. Don't worry, when I really reach the critical point, the authority of life will be activated." Yueyue changed the subject: "It is you who I have to worry about now. It feels like your body is aging a little faster than mine. Aren’t you going to find a god to change your body?”

"You can't go back frequently to avoid being noticed by the overlapping shadow." Su Mingan took a sip of tea and felt the state of her body: "Wait until you can't use it anymore, then go back and change it."

They sat under the peach blossom tree. These peach blossom trees were all carried one by one by Su Ming'an. They are already lush with branches and leaves. When the spring breeze blows, the sky is filled with spring light.

He was holding a copy of "On the New World" and she was holding a copy of "Comics Party", quietly drinking tea and reading. Gradually, gradually... for some reason, she felt that her eyelids were getting heavier.

The peach blossoms in the sky fell on her eyelids, her eyelashes trembled, and suddenly she felt like the world was spinning...

"...Yueyue, Yueyue?"

Su Mingan's shout startled her, and she fell down on the stone table. She raised her head in confusion, only to find that there was some blood bleeding from her mouth, and her ears were buzzing, and she could hardly hear the sound.

Su Mingan took her back to the room and put her on the bed: "What's the good thing about being an old person? You are covered with diseases and often faint... You have experienced it this time. Next time, live a good life as a young person."

"You don't understand..." She fell asleep next to the bed and quickly fell asleep. Recently, her sleeping time has been getting longer and longer, and she will doze off again after being awake for a while.

Su Ming'an hadn't looked at her face in detail for a long time, but she was quiet at the moment.

[As people age, their faces will develop many wrinkles and spots. No matter how beautiful you are when you are young, you will be the same when you are old...] This is what Yue Yue said twenty years ago. He couldn't remember many details, but he remembered this sentence.

Just then, wrinkles were creeping onto her brows, her cheeks were stained with patches, and her lips were starting to lose color.

But looking at her like this, he didn't have any idea that "she was old". Since becoming an observer, she has stepped into the ranks of immortal species. In essence, she cannot be regarded as a Zhai star human, but an existence between low and high dimensions. For her long years, decades are nothing. Even if she experiences the aging of a mortal, it does not mean that she is really old.

Of course... visually, he would know that she looked like this when she was old.

"...Actually, I understand." Su Ming'an whispered to himself: "Because to you...it is really...decades..."

He reached out and tried to smooth out the wrinkles on her face.

He suddenly understood why she insisted on experiencing aging. This was to fill up her own life. Without these years, he might never be able to see her now in his entire life.

She filled his void.

Standing there for a long time.

The peach blossoms fell and rested on the window edge.

……

It’s been 57 years since the Heavenly Generation.

On the ocean currents of the Western Ocean, several gunshots were heard. The distant countries built sharp weapons and drove the steel behemoths to shuttle across the coasts of various countries. The haze of the ironclad ships was projected to the major kingdoms, symbolizing the new great changes and power pattern.

The symbol of the clash of civilizations broke the balance of fifty years and forced the Celtic Kingdom to face an unprecedented challenge. The people of the Celtic Kingdom were not afraid of the threat of invaders, built city walls and iron tools, and absorbed emerging technologies and ideas through innovation.

The third Queen, Loliarty, held several speeches to appease the people. The news of being wary of foreign enemies is spreading rapidly, and even remote villages can hear it.

"Ming'an... Ming'an!" Yueyue shook Su Ming'an on the bed.

Su Mingan opened his eyes, his whole body seemed to be frozen, and it took a while before he could barely sit up.

"I called you many times... but you still haven't woken up." Yueyue squeezed his cold hand: "Is your body almost unable to hold on anymore?"

"The body can still last for a few years. It doesn't matter. It will be fast for me." Su Mingan held his forehead: "I'm just troubling you because you have to face a weak me."

He suddenly felt funny. He used to always laugh at Su Lin as an old man, but now it was his turn to be as weak as an old man. What a turn of events. Fortunately, Su Lin was not here, otherwise she would definitely laugh at him.

Looking at Yueyue with white hair, he seemed to really see the scene of them walking hand in hand into the sunset... He didn't know whether his body was destroyed first or her life ended first.

But for some reason, the ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious.

"Xiao Kai went to school and his grades were very good." Yueyue opened the food box.

"Ah."

"He brought some candied fruits here before. Try them. They taste different from those from other countries we have eaten."

"Ah."

Su Mingan took the candied fruit and suddenly held Yueyue down with a serious expression.

Yueyue looked at him in astonishment, and the candied fruit in her hand fell to the ground.

"what happened?"

"Yueyue, tell me honestly..." He coughed a few times and stared into her eyes: "Can your life authority...can you rejuvenate yourself? My happiness alone will wear out no matter how much I accumulate. , how can it be possible to withstand thousands of years of malice. Did the gods give you any additional tasks? I have wanted to ask this question for a long time, but you have always avoided it."

Otherwise, why would the gods say, "If you cannot enjoy a happy life, Chaoyan will be your safety net". This sentence has no beginning or end. Things can't be that simple.

It was so beautiful, so happy, so happy that it scared him.

Yueyue was silent for a long time, and just when Su Mingan thought she didn't want to answer, she spoke: "...Yes, the gods did explain it."

Su Mingan asked: "What is it?"

"The gods said, let you live a happy life first, wait until about a hundred years, take you to Jiuyou, see how much evil you can endure, and then multiply it by ten to roughly calculate whether it will be enough after a thousand years, and judge this A happy vacation is not feasible. If it is not enough, I will be needed..."

Su Mingan asked: "What do I need from you?"

Yueyue sighed, twisted the quilt with her fingers, and suddenly said:

"Do you know where Chaoyan went?"

Su Ming settled for a moment and then answered: "The gods said that Chaoyan went to sleep in a safe place and gave up the power of his life to you."
