White snow was flying, and the entire Luoxia City seemed to be shrouded in snow.
At this moment, no matter how many people are looking up at the sky with floating snowflakes, year after year, time passes quietly like running water!
Looking from a distance, the huge Ye family manor seems to be covered with a layer of white gauze.
Deep in the Ye family manor, the courtyards are scattered all over the ground like stars, forming a sharp contrast with the splendid attics around!
Under the flying snow, a lonely figure emerged from the courtyard.
Wearing a simple military robe, he was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the void with slightly hollow eyes, even though his eyes were completely dark.
"It's been a year, Ai Lian, haven't you forgiven me yet?" The middle-aged man sighed sadly, with a sad look on his face. Suddenly, there were footsteps around him, and a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face. Although he had already
He was blind, but he looked towards the quiet path in the courtyard and chuckled: "Ye Xing, you came very early, why did you bring something to me, an old blind man!"
Ye Xing, Ye Wan'er's younger brother, swept away the childishness of the past, and instead showed a trace of resoluteness on his face.
At this moment, Ye Xing was wearing a white military robe, with a long sword tied to his back, and a rice basket in his left hand.
The aroma of wine and vegetables wafted out from the basket. Although the middle-aged man had not seen the food, he could tell from the food that it was definitely his favorite meal in the past.
"You're here early, I heard your stomach growling!" Ye Xing smiled softly, walked to the middle-aged man's side, put the basket on the stone table, took out a few dishes and a bottle of hot food from it
wine flask.
The extremely strong aroma of wine floated throughout the courtyard, and the middle-aged man's withered face showed a rare hint of astonishment, as he said in surprise: "It's actually Qilixiang wine!"
"In the past, I asked you to buy it, but you were very picky. Why did you bring it to me today?" The middle-aged man took the wine bottle handed over by Ye Xing, took a deep gulp, and said hello.
liquor!
"Why, I keep buying you this wine, and you're still not happy!" Ye Xing sat on the stone chair, skillfully brushing off the snowflakes that fell on the middle-aged man's body with his right hand.
"I hope you do this every day!" After a pause, the middle-aged man put down the wine bottle and sighed: "Although I am blind, I can still feel the difference between you and usual!"
In response, Ye Xing fell into silence for a while, and the entire courtyard became silent, with only the cold wind still roaring crazily.
After a few breaths, Ye Xingcai said softly: "I have made a decision, I want to join the Dark Guard!"
"Secret Guards!" The middle-aged man's body trembled, and his right hand holding the wine bottle couldn't help but shake. After a few breaths, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Have you really made a decision?"
"Yes!" Ye Xing raised his childish face and looked into the void, with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes, and murmured softly: "I want to take over for his unfinished mission!"
"Unfinished mission?" A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face. Although he was blind, his eyes were looking towards Ye Xing.
"Although he abandoned me, my sister, and my mother since childhood, he is my father after all!" Ye Xing said solemnly: "As the son of man, I have the responsibility to complete his mission!"
"Being able to join the Secret Guard has always been my pride, son of the Ye family. Boy, come and have a drink with me today!" The middle-aged man's hearty laughter suddenly sounded.
"Haha, are you good at it?" Ye Xing also smiled heartily, and then said solemnly: "Uncle, do you regret joining the Dark Guard?"
"Do you regret it?" A look of determination appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he said solemnly: "Even if my life is lost, I will not regret it!"
"But Auntie Ai Lian!" Ye Xing did not continue walking, but looked at the middle-aged man. Regarding this, the middle-aged man still said firmly: "I don't regret it either!"
"Do you really not regret it?" A complicated voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, followed by the cry of a baby.
The middle-aged man suddenly trembled. The baby's cry made him have the urge to hug the baby, as well as that very familiar voice.
"Ai Lian, is it you?" The middle-aged man almost forgot that his lower body was disabled, and his body suddenly fell forward. If Ye Xing hadn't caught him in time, the middle-aged man might have fallen to the ground at this moment.
At some point, several figures appeared outside the courtyard. When Ye Xing saw the young man in black robes leading them, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Standing outside the courtyard, Ye Chen also noticed Ye Xing in the courtyard. His eyes just glanced at Ye Xing and then fell on the middle-aged man. Is he Ye Liusu?
"Alas!" With a slight sigh, Ye Chen turned to Widow Qin and said: "You always need to go back home, because there are people waiting for you to come back! He abandoned you for two years, but he can spend the rest of his life with you.
you!"
After saying that, Ye Chen gently patted Widow Qin's shoulder and pushed Er Meng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, to walk towards the way he came.
That year, you and I looked at each other like this. At that time, you were high-spirited and I was charming.
At this moment, you and I are still looking at each other like this. At this moment, your eyes are lifeless, and I am old and yellow.
With a slight sigh, Widow Qin patted the baby's back gently, and looked at Ye Liusu sitting in the wheelchair. There were complex expressions on her face, including regret and helplessness. Finally, Widow Qin stepped into the courtyard.
Ye Chen had just taken a few steps when intermittent crying or the cry of a baby came from behind, but Ye Chen always thought that the crying was joyful.
A few moments later, Ye Chen did not go directly to the courtyard where he lived. He first sent Er Meng back to his accommodation, and then unknowingly walked towards the forest of tombstones behind the Ye family's ancestral hall.
The entire forest of tombstones was as quiet as ever. The pear trees were already covered with ice and snow, and the snowflakes were floating in the wind like fallen petals.
In this vast white world, those cold black tombstones are so eye-catching.
Although there was deathly silence here, Ye Chen felt a sense of peace. No matter how glorious they were, they would eventually be buried quietly under this land.
Raising his right hand slightly, his fingertips traced the cold tombstones, and Ye Chen saw many familiar names here. Some of those people had laughed at him, and some had sympathized with him, but at this moment they had turned into the cold tombstones.
In front of Ye Tiejing's tombstone, Ye Chen paused for a few moments. Drinks were splashed all over the floor, and there was a rare noise in the entire forest of tombstones.
Until finally, Ye Chen came to Lone Star's tombstone. Before he got close, Ye Chen, who was standing in the distance, noticed the beautiful figure standing in front of the tombstone.
The beautiful shadow is thin. Looking at the beautiful shadow, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of a poem: "People are thinner than yellow flowers!"
As if feeling Ye Chen's gaze, the beautiful figure slowly turned around. In the cold wind, the beautiful figure looked so thin, as weak as a lonely boat in the sea.
"You're here!" That pretty face was pale. Ye Wan'er looked at the black-robed young man in front of her and said softly, her voice as pitiful as an oriole weeping blood.
At this moment, Ye Wan'er was no longer the woman in his memory. Ye Chen nodded slightly and walked towards Lone Star's tombstone. He took out a wine flask from the Qilin Ring. The wine spilled all over the floor, turning into ice crystals and hitting the cold tombstone.
"Senior, it's been a long time coming!" Looking at the handwriting on the tombstone, Ye Chen murmured softly.
The cold wind was still roaring, and the two of them stood quietly in front of the tombstone without making a sound, letting the snowflakes fall all over their bodies.
After a long time, Ye Wan'er's clear voice sounded in Ye Chen's ears: "I'm leaving!"
"Where to go!" Facing Ye Wan'er, Ye Chen's words were always so short. Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness appeared on Ye Wan'er's pale face.
There was another moment of silence. Ye Waner's eyes moved away from Ye Chen, and finally landed on the tombstone. Her slender fingers traced the cold tombstone. Ye Waner said softly: "A long time ago, I never understood why he could be so heartless.
He abandoned us to join the secret guard, but after experiencing this disaster, I may have understood his thoughts. The tribesmen in the disaster seemed so powerless, and their lives seemed so fragile. At that moment, I realized
It turned out that I seemed so powerless in the face of disaster. At that moment, I understood his, my father's persistence to silently protect the person I love most!"
For the first time, Ye Chen heard Ye Wan'er call him Lone Star's father. Speaking of this, Ye Chen more or less understood where Ye Wan'er was going!
"As his child, I will continue his persistence!" Ye Wan'er murmured softly, and the roar of the wind overwhelmed Ye Wan'er's voice.
Looking at Ye Chen with a sad face, Ye Wan'er bowed to Lone Star's tombstone, then turned around and walked towards the way she came.
Looking at the beautiful shadow that was getting away, Ye Chen sighed softly: "In the end, you will join the secret guard like your senior! Is this what you want, senior?"
"However, I still respect her decision! Haha, senior, she has forgiven you!" After Ye Chen said that, he picked up the wine bottle in his hand and took a sip, not caring that the wine overflowing from his mouth wetted his clothes.
