Envy

Meng Tou walked for half a year, traveling all over the world.Edgeworth went everywhere he could think of.He even went to Mengtang Mountain, where the Yi people once lived together.

This tribe that was invaded decades ago has long been in ruins.Weeds are overgrown in the abode, and the stream is dry.Outside the little bridge, a half wagon wheel was stuck in the dust and mud.Lifeless.

Meng Tou passed by an unknown town and drank unknown rice wine at night.The cold wind came in and slipped under the table.Meng Tou also woke up suddenly while half drunk, that person has nowhere to go.

Mengtangshan has not been his home since he was born.Pingyang Xiqie Palace is not his home.Fulian's Yan family may have been his home, but that was when his aunt and elder brother were still there.His relatives have long since died and turned into a handful of loess.

No one cares, no one asks for warmth.He was all alone afterwards.Looking back on the boundless way of coming alone, walking into the abyss alone, there is no redemption.

Meng Tou recalled those days of searching, thinking of countless nights of cold wind like a knife.He sat on the roof, put down the jar of hot wine, and pursed his lips.He never thought that the relationship between them would come to this point.The square and round chisel are like strangers.Zhao Lin's winter was really cold, and his ankles ached from the cold.He thought that the wine was almost drunk, and it was time to go back.

As soon as he turned around, Uncle Yu Qing jumped onto the roof, sat down beside him, picked up his wine jar, and poured wine into his mouth.After pouring for a long time, only one or two drops of wine fell.So he put the jar back boredly: "There's not even a bite left?"

Meng Tou smiled: "You came too late."

Uncle Yu Qing hooked his shoulders, squeezed his shoulders tightly twice, and said: "Boy, are you feeling better? Don't fall asleep in the house in cold weather, come out and wander around."

"The illness has recovered."

Master Uncle Yu Qing said: "I'm afraid it's because I'm still sick."

Among the elders like Mu Mi, the one he respects the most is Uncle Xi Ze, and the one he is closest to is Uncle Yu Qing.He is open-minded, informal, and always has some shocking ideas.When he was young, he was a slack wanderer, but because of a word from Master Xi Ze, he became sluggish, and after entering the sect, he still kept his lazy attitude.

When they were young, they climbed over the wall and went to the city to play. Uncle Yu Qing covered them several times.Although he didn't take less of their roast goose and wine afterwards, they still thought of their uncle's kindness in their hearts.

Meng Tou said: "I thought they would stay by my side, just like many years ago. I didn't even have time to say goodbye calmly, so many people turned into ashes, so many people went further and further away...Maybe it's just me Remains where it is, guarding the forgotten."

Uncle Yu Qing nodded, and patted him on the shoulder: "Your Uncle Xi Ze and I wore a pair of underpants when we were young. When I was in my 20s, I still felt that we were two different people. At that time, I hugged I had the same thoughts as you, always thought that if I stayed by his side, everything would be the same as in the past, so at that time he asked me to come to Mu Mi, and I came without hesitation."

"Boy. Those who should leave will sooner or later, and it's useless to keep them."

Meng Tou's heart sank, but he heard him say again: "Except for your sweetheart. If you still like it, you have to snatch it back. It's useless if he resists. If you can't keep his heart, keep his people."

Uncle Yu Qing approached him and said in a low voice: "At that time, I wanted to say that Mu Mi will be yours sooner or later. What are you arguing with the elders? If you wanted to keep Shaojun a few years ago, who would stop you?" You...you boy, you know everything when you shouldn't be smart, but when you should be smart, you don't have a good brain, just a single tendon."

After Uncle Xi Ze passed away, Uncle Yu Qing was actually very sad, but he never showed it, and he still walked around the Mu Yuyu steps strewn with dead leaves with a jug in hand.He was originally free and easy, but his back gradually looked thinner and lonely.

He said: "People are born to be lonely. Come alone and go alone. People who miss you during your lifetime will meet again after death."

Meng Tou wrote down these seemingly superficial words, but felt that they made some sense.

After drinking, he jumped down from the roof, almost turning his foot.Uncle Yu Qing took a deep breath: "Oh, you brat, be careful."

He straightened his crooked body, a few bunches of black hair and long red tassels hung down in front of his shoulders.His sleeves are flowing and wide, and the cold wind blows, and the sleeves and hem flutter.Meng Tou raised his jug, raised his head and smiled at his uncle.

Yu Qing smiled back and said, "Go back early."

Meng Tou responded and walked back.

He touched his smooth chin, thinking about growing some stubble in winter.His appearance will not change anymore, staying in Mu Mi like this has lost the dignity of being an elder, and he still has a little stubble, which looks like he has been weather-beaten.

A voice suddenly came from his mind: "Third brother."

It was the voice clearly contained in the memory, as if it sounded in a dream late at night.

He lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.

As soon as Meng Tou entered the yard, he saw Fei Yu standing with his back to the light in a room, waiting for him.He walked to the door of the house, Fei Yu stuffed the small hand-warming stove into his hand, and welcomed him into the house.

There are several side dishes and a bowl of rice on the table.He picked up his chopsticks and ate his dinner safely, with Fei Yu accompanying him peacefully.

Meng Tou took a few mouthfuls of the food and smiled: "This isn't the food made by Mu Mi's Zaotou master, is it? You made it?"

He nodded, made a simple gesture, and asked Meng Tou how he thought it tasted.

Meng Tou took a few mouthfuls, pointed at one of the dishes with the tip of his chopsticks, looked at him and said, "I was lucky enough to eat this dish of deer tendon, huaiqi and tea duck in Xiaoyang. I never thought that you, who grew up in Mucheng , to be able to cook such authentic Xiaoyang famous dishes as Weier."

Fei Yu was startled, as if he didn't understand what Meng Tou meant.He was thinking, as if he wanted to gesture and say something, when there was a knock on the door.

After Meng Tuo said "Come in", the disciple outside opened the door and came in, saluted respectfully, and said, "Uncle Meng, my uncle is here to invite you."

He wondered, "What's the matter?"

"The disciple is not very clear. I heard that the Lord of the Eternal Night City sent someone to come. It seems that there is... another disaster in the Eternal Night City."

Meng Tou had just warmed up, and after hearing this, he ignored the cold weather and hurried outside.Fei Yu took a heavy cloak, chased it to the gate of the yard, and asked him to take it away, and then he unfolded it.

Holding the lantern, the disciple looked at Fei Yu's appearance curiously, and sneaked a few glances after being spotted.He dared not say anything, could not say anything.He could only secretly think in his heart that this young master looked very much like Yan Shaojun who attacked Qiegong.

Although this matter has been spread all over Mu Mi, and all the masters and uncles have the right to turn a blind eye to it, but it is the first time he sees this deity.

Meng Tou tied the knot and asked Fei Yu to go back to the house, and followed his disciples to his uncle.
