Ming Yu

After Hua Niansu fainted in the main hall, she was sent to the Chalcedony Palace for treatment. The illness lasted for more than 20 days. After recovering from the illness, he quickly returned to busy political affairs. It's a few months later...

At this time in the human world, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, the plum blossoms were blooming, and the earth was silvery white.

In winter, the small town in the south of the Yangtze River is covered with a layer of snow, and the white snow emits dazzling light under the sunlight.

Walking in the winding and deep alleys, stepping on the bluestone slabs covered with thick snow, the soles of the shoes will creak lightly from time to time, and the white walls and black tiles in the distance are decorated with strings of red lanterns. Everyone is busy cutting window grilles, pasting door couplets, and decorating everywhere.

The children who shuttled between the pavilions all had happy smiles on their faces, and they were not affected by the winter cold at all, and they were full of strong New Year flavor everywhere.

Ziyang felt excited and curious, and turned his head to ask the boy in white behind him from time to time: "Brother, why are they so happy, and what kind of day is Chinese New Year?"

The boy in white rolled his eyes and explained with a smile: "Chinese New Year is an important festival in the human world. It is a big day to reunite with relatives and have fun with the whole family."

"Oh, then can we also celebrate the New Year together?" Zi Yang raised his small chin and looked at him longingly.

"That's natural." The young man rubbed his head, his brows and eyes were gentle, as warm as jade.

At the same time, he did not forget to tell the man beside him: "Father, this is the human world, you can't run rampant like you are in the demon realm, it is easy to get lost, please be obedient, don't let the child worry about it.

The gray-haired man next to him was held by him, still moving around restlessly, his eyes kept rolling, he tilted his head and said, "Hey, little Phoenix, why do I feel like I've been here before? I I remember that there seems to be a shop selling wonton in that alley, the stuffed meat is very fragrant, let me go and have a look."

Hua Niansu was unmoved, knowing his temperament, if he let go, he would run away without a trace, so he led him forward unhurriedly: "Father, today is New Year's Eve, and every house is closed. The house is closed for the Chinese New Year, and the shops that sell wonton must not be doing business. After the third day of the new year, every shop will open, and I will take you there to eat wonton, okay?"

"Oh." The old boy saw that the boy was determined, so he knew that it was useless to sneak away, so he followed him obediently to the depths of the alley.

The three of them walked to the end of the alley and stood in front of a courtyard with white walls and black tiles.

Ziyang looked at Hua Niansu who stood at the door for a long while without saying a word, and asked strangely: "Brother, don't we go in?"

Hua Niansu stared silently at the courtyard door in front of her, obviously wanting to open the door and go in immediately, but at this moment she was afraid and couldn't move at all.He forced himself to gather himself, took a deep breath, and finally made a difficult decision, whispering: "Go in."

Ziyang nodded, pushed open the half-closed wooden door, and walked in first.

A small courtyard, but separated from the world outside the wall by two levels.

The two sides of the white wall are completely different.

Outside the wall, there is a noisy sky full of gongs and drums, and inside the wall is a quiet and desolate room, overgrown with overgrown grass, as if it has not been lived in for a long time, and the weeds have grown to half a person's height, covering the gravel path under your feet.

Looking up, the few ostentatious peach blossom trees in the yard have withered at some point, and white snow is piled on the bare branches. When a gust of wind blows, snowflakes will rustle down.

Obviously the sun is shining in front of my eyes, but at a glance, it gives people a full view of desolation and bleakness.

Looking at the weeds in the courtyard, Ziyang suddenly felt a little sad. Looking around, he saw a figure swaying under the tree from a distance, and subconsciously shouted: "Sir!"

The man was wearing a bamboo hat, his back was facing them, and he was weeding the flowerbed with an iron scoop in his hand. He turned around in surprise when he heard the sound.Under the bamboo hat, a square face was revealed, with dark skin and a bit of childishness of a teenager.

"Daughter-in-law...?" The man opened his mouth halfway, staring at him blankly with a look of joy and a little silly.

Hearing this address, Ziyang's mind was full of black threads, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked in a voiceless voice: "Could you be that... little fat brother?"

"Hehe, it's me, it's me." The fat boy back then now has the appearance of a young man. Not only has he grown taller, his shoulders have also become much thicker, and he looks like an adult with a bamboo hat and iron bars.

Since the Three Realms exist in different spaces, the times are also different.

Now, according to the day they left, it was only a few months in the Demon Realm, and six full years have passed in the Human Realm.I really complied with that sentence, time flies like an arrow, time flies, it's just a blink of an eye.

"Daughter-in-law, do you still remember me? Why did you go away for so long, and I thought you wouldn't come back?" The little fat man's real name was Yuan Chengfeng, and his face turned red when he looked at Ziyang. Started stuttering nervously.

A mortal in the human world has a short lifespan, six years is enough to make a child grow into a teenager, and a boy of fourteen or fifteen is about to marry and have children. There is an indescribable excitement in the companion's heart, let alone the little lady he misses so much?

Yuan Chengfeng took off the bamboo hat on his head, wiped the sweat with his arm, and grinned stupidly.

"Huh? Why haven't you changed, you're still so short?" Chubby Chubby gradually regained his status, with a bright red square face, and a simple and honest smile.

"Hey, didn't I tell you that I'm a boy?" Ziyang raised a pair of small eyebrows and grinned at him: "Besides, it's not that I'm short, it's obviously you who have grown taller."

"My mother said... Girls are thin-skinned, just tell me to listen to what you say. I'm stupid and can't speak, daughter-in-law, don't be angry."

Ziyang just wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this, and raised his breath in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out, this round—er, he lost to him again.

The Demon King, who was watching with gusto, couldn't help stretching out his right hand, and gave the black boy a thumbs up, expressing his appreciation.

At this time, Hua Niansu slightly hooked the corner of her lower lip, and finally opened her mouth to relieve the half-dead Ziyang, "Okay, okay, let's all go inside and talk about it."

"Brother, you are finally back!" Yuan Chengfeng seemed to have just seen Hua Niansu, and ran over like a gust of wind, with a happy and excited expression. He was surprised to see a young and handsome man standing beside him. Then he clasped his fists respectfully and bowed deeply: "Eh? Why is there another gentleman, my nephew is here!"

Lord Yao Wang and Zi Yang twitched the corners of their mouths at the same time, I dare say this kid is blind, he can't see other people except for 'wife' in his eyes.

"Brother Fatty, why are there so many weeds growing in the yard?" Ziyang asked as he walked, "Why are those peach trees withered? When I left, the trees were full of flowers, and they were in full bloom. .”

"...Don't you know yet?" Yuan Chengfeng walked side by side with him, at this moment he turned his head to look at the little lady who was half a head shorter than him, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Know what?" Ziyang looked up at him, frowning.

"Mr.'s matter..." Yuan Chengfeng murmured to himself, glanced secretly at the face of the elder brother who fell a step behind them, his throat felt tight, and he thought of something and hurriedly said: "Today my mother is here too, she is in the house Li is cleaning up the room, she should be setting up sacrifices, I will take you there to find her."

The old boy who fell behind the two of them pulled Hua Niansu and chattered with disbelief on his face: "Little Fenghuang, how did you find this place? It looks familiar to me! Yes, I remembered, Xiao Feifei took me I have been here, how many months have I lived here! Passing through the hall, there is a pond in the backyard, the pond is full of lotus in summer, and you can go down to pick lotus pods!"

"Look at the plantain plant, it was planted by Xiao Feifei. He said that I like to eat plantains, and that he would pick the plantains that are full of trees for me to eat when they are ripe. And the deck chair in the courtyard was made by Xiao Feifei herself." Yes, let me lie in the yard and bask in the sun, and watch him fish and cook soup for me in the pond. I remember that there were a few bluegrass planted here, huh? Why are they gone? There is also a big crabapple tree, and have……"

Hua Niansu gently squeezed Jun Wulei's hand, listening to his memories sentence by sentence, imagining the scene of the two of them getting along, her eyes gradually became moist.

That scene seems to be right in front of his eyes, even though Jun Wulei is now delirious after sealing his power, his consciousness is still confused, but he has never forgotten every little bit of love with his father, every flower and tree here reminded him deeply. The memory hidden deep in his heart belonged to the past between him and his father, and it carried the unspeakable affection between the two.

The outer wall of the east wing was covered with thick moss, and the red paint on the wooden door was a little peeled off. When the door was opened, fine dust fell from the door frame.Several people walked into the hut, the dust on the tables and chairs had been wiped off, the water stains on the table were fresh, and a clean white glazed tea set was placed on it.

"Mother, come out and see who's back?" As soon as he entered the room, Yuan Chengfeng's loud voice rang out.

"Hey, here we come." Song Mama, who was wearing an apron, brushed her hair and turned out from the screen. The few people who arrived first were overjoyed, stepped forward and took Hua Niansu's hand, and couldn't help but look at them Look, there are tears in the eyes: "Oh, I'm really back! It's great, I finally look forward to you!"

"Well, Mother Song, Su'er is back. I've made you worry all these years." Hua Niansu let the woman hold her, with a faint smile on her lips and clear and soft eyes.

The woman wiped away her tears with her sleeves. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were much deeper, her back was slightly hunched, and her figure became smaller and smaller.

"Son, why are you coming back now? Do you know that Mr. has been waiting for you, but you haven't returned yet? Why didn't you know how to come back with a message. It's been so many years since you left, do you know that Mr.... ...I've always missed you." Mama Song couldn't help complaining about the young man's ignorance, they hadn't heard from him for several years, and even if they wanted to find them, they didn't know where to look for them.

"Shortly after we left, my brother fell ill. He was seriously ill. He didn't deliberately not come to see Mr...." Ziyang, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch, and couldn't help complaining for Hua Niansu.

"Yang'er, stop talking!" Hua Niansu frowned, stopped drinking, and continued, his voice trembling slightly, with a hint of anger.

Ziyang was so frightened that he stopped his mouth, and couldn't help but tighten his mouth, feeling grievances in his heart.My brother never said a harsh word to himself, but just now he clearly felt his brother's anger, but it didn't seem to be directed at himself, but rather angry at himself.

Thinking of this, a scene suddenly flashed in his mind, Hua Niansu once told him that Mr. might have...

He suddenly raised his head and cast his eyes on Hua Niansu, and sure enough, he saw the young man's face turn pale, and he opened his mouth with difficulty: "Sir, is he...?"

"Yang'er, you take father...father first go to the East Wing to rest, and I will visit you for dinner later."

After Ziyang and the others left, only Hua Niansu and Song Ma were left.

There was a moment of silence in the room.
