Chapter 1429 Uncle and Nephew

Chapter 1429 Uncle and Nephew

"Let me talk to you and see if you are alert."

Jiang You chuckled and took in the scenery on both sides of the road.

"Liu Ji Baozi Shop, this one is pretty good. I remember the skin was thin and the fillings were big. And the dragon fruit spicy flavor and the coriander and durian flavor are really not found anywhere else."

"Wow, this fried chicken shop hasn't closed down yet. I remember it closed down before the New Year because of a TV report saying it used gutter oil and zombie meat."

"The pet shop... it's really great. You always said you wanted to have a pet, and then you actually got a fox... I don't know if the fox is dead or not. It might have exploded with the Great Zhou."

Jiang You walked forward, making comments from time to time.

Of course, because some of his comments had a huge impact on the store’s business, several store clerks chased him out with brooms and scolded him.

Fortunately, Jiang You and Lu Yaoyao ran fast.

Walking through several streets, all kinds of memories buried deep in my memory kept emerging.

As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the bank of the Yun River, which was surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds.

This long river that runs through the entire gathering place is rippling with waves under the moonlight, and the lights standing on both sides of the opposite bank make the river surface look even more beautiful.

The two walked along the river, the cool breeze blowing on their bodies, blowing up Lu Yaoyao's hair.

"What happened to you today?"

She waved her fists. “I haven’t told my dad yet, or you’d be dead.”

"Do you believe me when I tell you that I was reborn? In the future, not only will I become a general, but I will also become the only legend, and you will also become the leader of all generals, the land general." Jiang You said with a smile.

"You are so childish." Lu Yaoyao chuckled.

There was a hint of smile in his eyes, but his expression was not like before...

She couldn't explain exactly how.

She only knew that as they looked at each other, her uneasy heart seemed to relax unconsciously.

"It's better to be passionate, otherwise you won't be able to bear it."

Jiang You chuckled, retracted his gaze and continued walking forward.

Lu Yaoyao stared at his back until they were several meters apart. Then she realized what was happening and quickly ran after him, "Hey, what else do you think happened in the future?"

"In the future..." Jiang You paused, "We're married."

"?!" Lu Yaoyao felt her face starting to heat up again, but fortunately it wasn't that obvious at the moment, "If you tease me again, I'll ignore you!"

"Hahaha." Jiang You laughed and reached out his hand to rub her head very naturally.

"Go to hell." Lu Yaoyao slapped his hand away unconvinced, "What else? What else happened?"

Jiang You paused for a long time before speaking, "The Great Zhou's extraordinary technology has made a breakthrough. It will be very strong in the future, and it will drive away the alien species... That's about it."

"Pfft...what you said sounds like a fairy tale." Lu Yaoyao chuckled.

"Yes...it's like a fairy tale." Jiang You couldn't help but laugh and rubbed her head again.

"Stop rubbing it!" Lu Yaoyao said angrily.

"Rub it more. I'm afraid I won't be here one day."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Nothing, let's go back, it's a bit late."

"Well, good."

The two of them didn't go too far away from each other, basically just hanging out near their home.

Before entering the community, Jiang You hesitated for a moment and came to the family supermarket outside the community.

He just played a supporting role here, and it became his first weapon, which gave a blow to the ghost at that time.

But this time he didn't buy soy sauce, but two boxes of wine.

Xiang Yaoyao repeatedly assured that it was bought for Uncle Li, and the two took the elevator back to the floor.

"Then I'll go back?" Lu Yaoyao said to him, looking a little reluctant.

"Good night, sweet dreams." Jiang You smiled and nodded, without teasing the other party anymore.

Lu Yaoyao curled her lips, looked at him carefully for several times, and finally closed the door.

……

Standing in the corridor, Jiang You hesitated for a moment. Instead of going home, he took the elevator to the top floor and then walked up to the rooftop.

Carrying the beer I bought, I walked to the edge of the rooftop.

The weather is very good today with the sea of ​​clouds.

It is refreshing but not cold, and the wind is gentle but not quiet.

click!

He opened a bottle, drank half of it in one breath, and then burped.

Finally, I simply sat on the edge of the rooftop and stared at everything in front of me.

The night scene of the city with flashing neon lights and heavy traffic.

As the night wind blew, his eyes gradually narrowed, taking in the entire scene.

"Drinking."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

Jiang You didn't look back, but shook the empty bottle in his hand, "Uncle Li, would you like some?"

Then a figure approached, stood at the edge of the rooftop, took out a bottle of beer, opened it, and drank it down in gulps.

"Uncle, you are so old, why don't you go to bed early?"

The two were silent for a moment, and Jiang You asked.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. You didn't sleep either."

"Don't want to sleep."

"I'm worried."

Li Xunguang smiled, turned over and sat up as well.

The uncle and nephew sat side by side, overlooking the entire night view of the sea of ​​clouds.

"I can't say what's on my mind, I just don't want to sleep." Jiang You shook his head.

"It can be seen that you want to marry Yaoyao."

"Ahem, isn't this what I've always wanted to do?"

"You didn't dare show it before."

"Am I that shy?"

"He has lustful thoughts but no courage. He thinks he is hiding it well, but in fact, everyone knows what he is thinking."

After getting Uncle Li's evaluation, Jiang You looked embarrassed.

Looking back at the Great Zhou period now, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"The night view of the sea of ​​clouds is really beautiful, but it's still not as good as Beidu." Li Xunguang looked into the distance, "After all, a second-level gathering place is still not as prosperous as a first-level one, and there are always various threats."

"Each has its own beauty. The sea of ​​clouds is small, but it is also a root. Where there are roots is home." Jiang You chuckled.

"You still say such things?"

Li Xunguang laughed as well, "But it is true that home is where you have roots. When do you want to start a family?"

"If you really want to, you would definitely want to start a family now, but the reality may not allow it. You can probably wait two or three years until you become a general."

"You are so brave to say that, hahaha."

Li Xunguang couldn't stop smiling. He didn't know why, but he was in a good mood today.

He felt in his bosom, but found nothing.

Just as he was feeling regretful, a cigarette box was pushed in front of him.

"Smoke less. I find that you old night watchmen like to smoke a couple of cigarettes no matter what."

"You should smoke more now while you can. You may be contaminated in the future and become bedridden and unable to take care of yourself. Then you won't be able to smoke even if you want to."

Li Xunguang picked up one and lit it with a click.

He took a deep breath and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"Time flies by so fast," he sighed.

The burning cigarette butt glowed orange, and the smoke puffed out and drifted upwards.

Li Xunguang picked up the beer again and took a sip. "I still remember 17 years ago, when I first picked you up, you were only this big."

He gestured to compare the size of the child and said, "You are different from other children. You never cry or make trouble since you were young, and you learn things very quickly."

"When you were a kid, you always liked to watch all kinds of battle cartoons and comics. Your dream was to become the strongest superhuman. So many years have passed in a flash."

He took another deep breath. "Actually, when you were in kindergarten, I discussed with Lao Lu whether we should arrange a marriage for you. But we decided not to. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Jiang You asked.

"He said that you have been popular with girls since you were young, but you will become a nuisance when you grow up, so I can't entrust Yaoyao to you."

Li Xunguang patted his shoulder and said, "Why don't you go to Uncle Lu and promise him that you will take good care of Yaoyao in the future."

Jiang You was slightly dazed, his lips trembling.

"You don't dare to take responsibility, right?"

Another figure sat down beside the two of them, it was Lu Nanfeng with a sullen face.

Since the afternoon, his complexion has never seemed normal.

"Why didn't you go to rest? Didn't you say you were very tired today?" Li Xunguang raised his eyebrows.

"My cabbages are almost eaten by pigs, why should I take a rest?" Lu Nanfeng grabbed Jiang You's shoulders with his strong arms, "Boy, you are very brave today."

"Haha, I was just joking with you." Jiang You smiled awkwardly.

"What?! Are you kidding me when you said you wanted to marry Yaoyao?" Lu Nanfeng's eyes widened and his hair stood up like steel needles.

"No, no." Jiang You quickly defended himself.

Lu Nanfeng slapped him on the shoulder again, "You better not let me catch you. If I find out that you bully Yaoyao one day, I will definitely not let you go."

"Okay, okay, Xiaoyou may be a little silly, but he is still responsible."

Li Xunguang persuaded from the side.

Lu Nanfeng snorted, also picked up a can of beer and smoked a cigarette.

He smoked and drank, his expression unclear, "You two uncle and nephew are really interesting. You didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to the rooftop."

"You are quite interesting, too. You eavesdropped downstairs for a long time, and finally couldn't help but run upstairs yourself." Li Xunguang said happily.

"I'm happy to do so." Lu Nanfeng retorted, and patted Jiang You's shoulder again, "He is your nephew, and also my nephew. Jiang You was led astray by you."

The familiar bickering between the two brought Jiang You back to his memory, and at the same time he also felt the long-lost peace of mind.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Li Xunguang rolled his eyes.

"Uncle Li and Uncle Lu, the friendship between you two is really interesting." Jiang You couldn't help laughing.

"I dare not. I am just a night watchman and I must obey the orders of the land patrol commander."

"Did you hear me? Are you on duty if I ask you to?" Lu Nanfeng asked sarcastically.

"You two stop arguing." Jiang You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had to "stop the fight" instead. "Come on, let's do it together."

He raised three cans of beer in front of him, clinked them together, and then drank them all in one gulp.

"That's great. That's great."

“I feel very happy today.”

"I attended classes all afternoon, celebrated Yaoyao's birthday, took a group photo, walked around in the sea of ​​clouds, and now I'm having a drink with you two."

“The weather is great, the mood is great, everyone is great.”

Jiang You smiled even more.

Surprisingly, the two uncles did not interrupt him, but followed Jiang You's gaze.

Empty cans of beer had accumulated on the rooftop. In Jiang You's narrowed eyes, the lights turned into colorful spots, hazy and dreamy.

"You're drunk after just a few cans. Go back and rest." Lu Nanfeng patted him on the back.

"Uncle Lu." Jiang You smacked his lips.

"What?"

"sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

"Really sorry."

"Don't be crazy, kid."

"Uncle Li." Jiang You changed his words and called out.

"You want to feel sorry for me too?"

"No." Jiang You's throat was floating. "You are a hero of the Great Zhou, really."

Li Xunguang was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He looked at the endless starry sky and smiled, "What about you?"

"I?"

Jiang You was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question.

"You must be very tired." Li Xunguang said softly.

Countless images flashed through Jiang You's mind, but they were all so fragmented that he couldn't see anything clearly.

He suddenly felt as if something was blocking his chest, and was overwhelmed by an indescribable deep sadness and powerlessness.

Knocking on the heart and tearing up the emotions.

He pursed his lips, and his mixed emotions finally turned into one sentence, "Uncle, I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize, you've never apologized to anyone."

Li Xunguang laughed and drank the wine in his hand. "Instead, I feel sorry for you."

At the end of the sight, the edge of the city turned into ashes bit by bit and slowly disappeared.

It’s time to wake up from the dream.

So short, so sad.

Jiang You watched all this with his crystal clear eyes.

"There is one thing I have never told you." Li Xunguang suddenly spoke.

"What..." he asked in surprise.

"I heard a voice once, really. I don't know what it was, but I know it must be you."
