I heard you want to let me down

Rong Jin hurried over, but when he got closer, he stopped unconsciously and stood where he was.

Above the night, there was a bright moon hanging high, and the silver light was shining down. The road did not pass through the lush woods, and it did not feel dark when walking in the mountains.But Gu's mother's tomb was planted among tall pines and cypresses, shrouded in shadows, dark and desolate.Rong Jin stopped not far away, and saw a lonely tomb in the pine forest, and a lonely person kneeling in front of the tomb.

Seeing this scene, Rong Jin suddenly hesitated.Although Gu Ruzhuo was raised by him, strictly speaking he is a complete outsider when it comes to the Gu family.At this time, perhaps Gu Ruzhuo would rather be alone with his mother.

But he finally walked through.He couldn't bear his child kneeling there alone.

Rong Jin let out a little footstep on purpose, Gu Ruzhuo must have heard it, but he didn't turn his head, just knelt quietly.

Rong Jin walked to his side, his eyes fell on the grave in front of him.

The tomb is not big, it is a small slope, Gu Ruzhuo will come regularly to get rid of the weeds nearby, and there is a monument in front of it.The stele is made of the most common stone in Jingming Mountain. It has a square shape and several words are engraved on it.

At that time, Mother Gu died, Rong Jin just buried the body without erecting a monument.

Everything in Jingming Mountain lives, dies, prospers and withers without paying attention to these things. They are either eaten by other animals, or returned to the soil, and finally become part of Jingming Mountain again.If one day Rong Jin dies, it will be the same, his body will disappear into the world and return to Jingming Mountain.So Rong Jin didn't care much about the rules related to death.

This monument was erected by Gu Ruzhuo himself.

Rong Jin stood for a while, then sat cross-legged beside Gu Ruzhuo: "I still remember that you were eight years old when you erected this monument."

Gu Ruzhuo whispered, "Yes."

Looking at the inscription on the tombstone, Rong Jin thought in his heart: I haven't really taken good care of him all these years.

Gu Ruzhuo was still very young when he came to Jingming Mountain, but he seldom made any requests to Rong Jin.Rong Jin gave it, and he took it.If Rong Jin didn't take the initiative to mention it, he never wanted it.For example, Gu Ruzhuo cared about this monument, it was just a piece of cake for Rong Jin, but Gu Ruzhuo did not ask Rong Jin, but chose to practice sword every day.When he was eight years old, he finally split a square stone and erected this monument for his mother.Because the strength is not strong enough, the notches on the words on it are a bit crooked.

Rong Jin has no experience in raising children, basic necessities of life, housing, transportation, and skills, Rong Jin knows all these things, but he doesn't have more.Gu Ruzhuo lived in Jingming Mountain a few years ago, at best, without any danger.

Rong Jin doesn't know how to take care of others, Gu Ruzhuo learned to cook, wash, and clean the room when he was very young, Rong Jin never had to worry about these things.And the rest of the time, when Rong Jin saw him, he was always studying, practicing swords, and cultivating.Occasionally thinking about the hairpin is a rare leisure to relax.Later, Rong Jin took him to experience life in the world. Rather than saying that Rong Jin took care of him, it was better to say that Gu Ruzhuo took care of Rong Jin.Buying things and staying in a store on the way are all Gu Ruzhuo's worries.Rong Jin was only in charge of deciding where to go to join in the fun, as well as personal protection.

Rong Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with it at first.

It wasn't until he walked around the world with Gu Ruzhuo for several years, and gradually saw what ordinary children of the human race were like, that he realized that his children seemed different from others.

It turns out that not all children of other people's families are so young, they can take care of themselves.Except for a few very poor families, most children aged five or six need to go out to play besides studying or working. They need playmates, snacks, and gadgets for playing.It turned out that they would celebrate their birthdays, cut new clothes during the New Year's Eve, and get lucky money as gifts.

Gu Ruzhuo didn't have any of these.

He has tried his best to treat Gu Ruzhuo well according to his own understanding and way, but because he doesn't understand the human race, the care he gave Gu Ruzhuo is actually not enough.He obviously has the conditions to give Gu Ruzhuo those things, but he doesn't know anything, so that Gu Ruzhuo's childhood passed day after day in a "sensible" and "calm" way.

Although Rong Jin didn't say anything, in his heart, he felt that he owed Gu Ruzhuo a little.

Immortals have no concept of life, ten years, to Rong Jin in the past, it was just a nap.But in the past ten years, that little tuanzi who just came here and was a little unsteady when walking in the mountains has grown into such a tall and straight boy.Looking at Gu Ruzhuo's angular face, Rong Jin couldn't tell what it was like: "I'm sorry. In fact, you are already very good and well-behaved. I shouldn't have scolded you just now."

Gu Ruzhuo raised his head, there was no dissatisfaction, but there was a hint of apology and sadness in his tone: "It's because I didn't do well just now, and I deserve to be scolded."

Looking at the tombstone, Rong Jin suddenly asked softly, "Ru Zhuo, am I not treating you well enough?"

Gu Ruzhuo's eyes widened slightly, and his emotions were stronger than when he was scolded before. He shook his head vigorously: "No, you treated me very well, really."

Rong Jin smiled wryly: "You think I treat you well because you put me in a position to take you in. I think I don't treat you well enough because I treat you like a child in my heart. Ru Zhuo, after so many years , you are here with me, do you still feel that you are depending on others?"

"No!" Gu Ruzhuo's chest heaved violently, he turned to look at Rong Jin with an eager expression, as if he wanted to reach out and grab Rong Jin, but in the end he just repeated, "No. I don't think so of."

Rong Jin looked into his eyes: "Then why just now, when you were sad and weak, I scolded you, but you were not angry. You never asked me for anything."

"Because, because I'm really not angry. I don't feel angry when you scold me." Gu Ruzhuo didn't seem to know how to explain, and he spoke incoherently, "I don't make demands because what you gave me is enough. "

He said softly: "Besides, I hope that you will like me more. I know that I have mediocre talent in cultivation, and I can't carve a hairpin well. No matter it is now or in the future, it is actually of no real use to you. But I, I hope you, don't bore me."

If it's all about asking, but there's no way to give anything in return, people will definitely hate it.Therefore, I had to try my best to reduce demands and troubles.

Rong Jin looked at Gu Ruzhuo's slightly confused and bewildered eyes in the dark, and reached out to touch the dog's head: "I won't get bored with you. I was angry just now, not because I thought there was something wrong with you, or because you were troublesome." You killed me because I didn't like it when you said that about yourself."

He hugged the kneeling boy in his arms and comforted him like patting a child on the back: "You are not in danger. You are fine. It was your father who did the wrong thing first. If your mother doesn't want you to take revenge, that's hope You can grow up happily and carefree, and I will never blame you for this."

Gu Ruzhuo lay on his shoulders like a child, and he felt the burning heat in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time: "Really?"

Rong Jin was very serious: "Really. I am a god. God knows everything, so what God says is true."

Gu Ruzhuo tightened his arms around Rong Jin, and said in a muffled voice, "Yes."

Rong Jin patted him on the shoulder: "Ruzhuo, you don't have to feel anxious, and don't think too carefully. In my heart, you are my child, and Jingming Mountain is your home. I have raised you for ten years , you have been with me for ten years, and no one has ever troubled anyone."

Gu Ruzhuo sat up straight, got up from Rong Jin's arms, lowered his head and asked hoarsely, "Can I stay in Jingming Mountain forever?"

Rong Jin raised his eyebrows, wanting to liven up the atmosphere: "Of course. Could it be that I've worked so hard to raise you, and you're planning to abandon me, a widowed old god?"

Before Gu Ruzhuo could speak, Rong Jin suddenly thought of something and sighed rather melancholy.Now that he has more contact with people, he thinks he has some experience in raising children, and he is caught in a kind of worry about the future: "However, children always want to be with adults when they are young, and wait until they grow up. Now, once you have a sweetheart, or when you reach the age of self-reliance, you will change your mind. Maybe at that time, it will not be whether I let you stay in Jingming Mountain, but whether you are willing to return to Jingming Mountain. "

Rong Jin looked at the sky rather melancholy, not paying attention to Gu Ruzhuo's expression at the moment.Gu Ruzhuo shook his head, and said solemnly: "No. As long as you let me stay in Jingming Mountain for a day, I won't leave."

Rong Jin laughed, and rubbed Gu Ruzhuo's head.

He didn't mean it.Rong Jin at this moment only thinks that Gu Ruzhuo is too young now, that's why he has such childish words.

He naturally ignored the seriousness and sincerity behind these words, and casually joked with Gu Ruzhuo: "Okay. Then you don't marry a wife in the future, don't go out to practice, don't open the door, just in Jingmingshan and me Let's count the clouds together."
