On a winter morning, the river flow was not too fast. The boatman took off the bamboo hat covering his face, stretched his waist and got up from the stone steps.
Today would be a good day, he had a hunch.
After a brief breakfast, the boatman started yelling by the Huanhe River. This is his constant work all year round.The originally loud voice gradually became hoarse under the loud yelling day after day.
But in order to make a living, the boatman has no other choice.
In fact, he also enjoys such a tiring but fulfilling life. Only when he completely fills up his free time can he stop thinking about his long-lost son.
But today God made a joke for him, the whole day was nearing the end, even if the passers-by heard the sound, none of them came to board the boat.The boatman was a little worried. He had lived on the small money all his life. If he had no income for a day, he would not be happy for the next few days.
He sighed, and was about to call it a day and go home when two people suddenly walked in front of him.
The boatman stopped closing the mast in an instant, and hastily patted the dust on his palms. While wiping the sweat with his arms, he put on a flattering smile: "My lords, do you want to take a boat?"
But after he finished speaking, he just saw the face of the boy on the right, and for some reason, there was always an inexplicable sense of familiarity.The boatman subconsciously looked carefully, but saw that the young man seemed a little timid, and unconsciously hid behind the young man beside him.
It was this subtle expression that shocked the boatman, and he couldn't help but speak subconsciously.
"You... are you Xuanran?" He widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice, pointing his finger at Xuanran almost unreasonably, unable to control his shock.
Xuanran flinched a little and didn't want to answer aloud.In fact, he didn't have the slightest impression of his so-called biological father.Since he was rescued by the Lord and fortunate enough to enter the Ten Directions Prison, he will be the Lord's subordinate for the rest of his life, and he doesn't need to care about other backgrounds.
But who knows, his back was suddenly pushed lightly, Pei Song pressed Xuanran's shoulder, forcibly brought him out, then turned his eyes to the boatman, and said calmly.
"Yes, he is Xuanran. Xianjun asked me to bring him to meet you. Now, leave the time to you." After finishing speaking, Pei Song turned around and looked for help, regardless of Xuanran's gaze for help. Sitting on a stone bench.
Xuanran's eyes were fixed on Pei Song for a long time, and he was reluctant to move his eyes.Perhaps the journey Lou sent him to find the whereabouts of the miracle doctor is the farthest door that Xuanran has traveled in the past ten years.Until now, he still accepted the "stranger" somewhat, even though the person standing opposite him was his biological father in the sense of blood.
After all, he has already practiced magic, and there is absolutely no possibility of re-choosing his life.
The boatman felt that his hard work in the first half of his life had finally paid off, and he couldn't help crying with joy: "Xiaoran, I, I'm Daddy, come here and let me have a look."
Xuanran didn't answer, even when he saw the hands stretched out by the boatman, he hid again and again, he didn't leave on the spot, it was already based on the respect for Shen Lou, Xuanran would never disobey the order of the lord .
His evasive movement was so obvious that the boatman could see it clearly, his rough and dark hands slightly curled up and retracted in embarrassment.
Then he rubbed his palms together, and found a step for himself: "Oh yes, we... We haven't seen each other for about ten years, Xiaoran doesn't even know me anymore."
The boatman smiled honestly. Although his face was full of embarrassment, it was not difficult to see his joy at the moment.After all, few people can endure emotions under major surprises, and do not behave in a way that is very different from usual.
"Xiaoran, your mother passed away a few years ago, and she has always missed you very much."
Suddenly, Xuanran returned to the past.In fact, he no longer has any impression of those memories, only a few vague shadows remained, which became the comfort of his nightmares at night.
He should have been living in hell, but the Lord rescued him from the mud and gave him a new life. From then on, he changed his face and became a brand new person.
"I... I don't know that you are still looking for me, and I can't remember many things." Xuanran rubbed his toes, lowered his head, completely unsure how to deal with the current situation, he subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look for Pei Song's figure, but his head was deliberately turned back when he moved halfway. He bit his lip and didn't move again.
The light in the boatman's eyes disappeared in an instant, no matter how many years of self-deprecating, he was never really sad to hear it.
The father and son remained silent for a long time, so long that Xuanran could hardly bear the loneliness, so he quietly glanced in Pei Song's direction again.However, at a glance, the young man who originally lived on the boulder disappeared out of thin air.
Xuanran was in chaos, looking around, almost crying on the spot.
The boatman also calmed down at this moment, accepting the reality for now, and just asked cautiously: "Then Xiaoran, would you like to go home with me?"
Surrounded by the panic of being left behind again, Xuan Ran barely heard what the other party said, and immediately wanted to catch up with Pei Song.But he didn't know where the man went, and he couldn't even do anything to find it.
Just when Xuanran was about to ignore the boatman and turn around to leave, someone grabbed his shoulders suddenly, and immediately heard Pei Song's lazy voice.
"He's just found out about his background, so he's bound to be overly excited, so you don't have to press every step of the way." Pei Song's tone was lazy, but in fact he was powerful and gentle.
Xuan Ran raised his head in a daze, looking at the tough side face of the other party, the sunlight blurred his vision, inexplicably, his heart trembled twice, unconsciously, he moved a little closer to Pei Song's arms.
Only then did the boatman realize that he was indeed a little too anxious, and quickly slapped his head with one hand, and replied twice: "Yes, yes, yes, I was too anxious."
Xuan Ran grabbed Pei Song's sleeve, with a confused expression on his face.In fact, he wanted to leave from the beginning to the end. This is not unfilial, but facing a biological father who is equivalent to a stranger, it may be difficult for anyone to accept good.
But Pei Song didn't want him to run away, so he gently held the child's waist, and said to the boatman, "Okay, since we've met, you can rest assured, as for whether the child will follow you or not, that depends on his will." .Today, let’s pay homage to Mrs. Madam.”
Where did the boatman hear such a polite title, he felt embarrassed and nodded.Xuanran didn't say no either. After Pei Song came back, he trusted him almost wholeheartedly, as long as he didn't stay, he would do anything.
"Okay, let's get on the boat, Immortal."
……
The boat is slowly moving forward in the river, and the boatman and his son are reunited, feeling full of strength.There is no effort at all when punting, and the simple and kind face is filled with a happy smile.
Inside the boat, Pei Song poured a glass of water slowly, but it wasn't for himself, but he handed it to Xuan Ran: "I'm only going to leave for a short while, and I'm going to cry?"
Xuan Ran blushed in embarrassment, reached out to take it in embarrassment, and drank it all in one gulp. Unexpectedly, he drank the water too fast, and without paying attention, he broke out a series of severe coughing.
Hearing the movement, the boatman quickly put down the boat pole in his hand, lifted the boat curtain, and revealed his head: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, the child is choking on drinking water, so don't be too busy, come in and drink some water."
Xuanran blushed slightly because of the word "child" for no reason, but fortunately, the sequelae of his cough just now had not disappeared, so he couldn't let others pierce his heart.
The boatman scratched his head, looked at Xuanran's evasive eyes, and knew he couldn't push people too hard, so he quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "It's all right, you guys rest, I'm not tired."
After saying that, he turned around so that others could not see him.
Pei Song "tsk tsk" twice, feeling that the father and son are indeed a little similar, they both don't know how to hide their emotions, and they are both happy at the reunion, one pretends not to, and the other insists on not accepting it.
In this world, Pei Song drank tea slowly, the bitterness in the cup kept him awake for a long time, leaning on the seat, looking at the silly Xuan Ran in front of him, he thought it was still fun to amuse children.

After leaving Wushangqing, Zou Yi's swordsmanship improved rapidly, reaching the peak of the distraction stage in just one month.He seems to have successfully broken through the bottleneck that has plagued him for many years. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is the result of his hard work, but it is not the case. Zou Yi has never stopped practicing in the past, but has lingered in the golden core stage for a long time.
I'm afraid only he himself knows the reason.
The sword's edge was stained with some beast's blood, which made the white blade red and his eyes red.
During this month, almost his entire body was immersed in training, and he killed countless beasts, driving himself into a cultivator.
Even so, Zou Yi still felt that it was not enough. He fell into a misunderstanding, thinking that if his own cultivation was not enough, Dong Yixiu would not need to have the ending of self-explosion.
He couldn't believe this fact, nor could he accept that for Dong Yixiu, death was a kind of relief.You can only wrap your life with other things so that you don't have to think about it for the time being.
No matter how deep he hides, Dong Yixiu will occasionally get into his head and call him senior brother with a smile as usual.
Until the end, Zou Yi had no choice but to accept his fate. He missed all of Dong Yixiu's voices and smiles, and he was reluctant to leave him.It happened so suddenly that he had lost all chances to save him without making any preparations.
Blood was dripping on the blade, but Zou Yi ignored it completely, as if he could rely on everything else except practicing revenge.
He was walking dead, aimless, and suddenly didn't know where his end point was.Maybe he will be buried in the loess like everyone else, without leaving any memory.
The sound of horseshoes from far to near gradually became clear to the ears.Zou Yi didn't want to meddle too much, and he didn't give in to let the chariots and horses go first. He just moved his steps silently, as if even walking had become a burden to him now.
Zou Yi ignored it until the sound of the carriage rolling on the road stopped.But it was as if he had made an appointment in advance, every time he took a step, the voice followed closely, step by step, without any abruptness.
Zou Yi stopped in his tracks, turned his head slowly, and saw a low-key carriage.The car curtain is closed tightly, so that people can't peek into the situation inside.
One person and one car confronted each other for a while, when Zou Yi lost his patience and was about to leave.A gentle and soothing female voice suddenly sounded in the carriage.
"I recognize you. We have the same purpose. If the young man doesn't mind, he can go with his concubine."
It was Madam Dong's voice.
Zou Yi was like waking up from a dream, and immediately bowed to salute. Madam asked, and he naturally agreed.Now that he has lost Dong Yixiu, he is willing to act as Mrs. Dong's lifelong guard and protect the one he loves for his younger brother.
They don't know how the world will change in the future, but the future will be long, just wait and see.
Today would be a good day, he had a hunch.
After a brief breakfast, the boatman started yelling by the Huanhe River. This is his constant work all year round.The originally loud voice gradually became hoarse under the loud yelling day after day.
