In the room, Dalt closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully and contentedly, never to wake up again.
Zi Chen still held his hand, but at this moment there was no warmth coming from it.
Behind him, those cries could no longer be suppressed.
A desolation.
Zi Chen sighed.
Just left.
He stood up and looked at the people behind him.
Everyone's crying gradually stopped.
Zi Chen said: "If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can go to the manor to find me."
Dalt's son, the person in charge at the moment, nodded and personally sent Zi Chen out of the room.
Next, naturally, we have to take care of Dart's funeral affairs.
After walking out of the room, there was a large living room. There were many people here at the moment. After seeing Zi Chen walking out of the back room, all of them had strange looks in their eyes.
Nearly thirty years have passed since Zi Chen's era. Perhaps many of them have heard the story of Kata's crisis, but not many people truly know Zi Chen's identity.
Compared with Zi Chen, who is not well-known, Dalt's fame is at its peak because he is the helmsman of the City of Miracles and possesses endless wealth.
After hearing that Dart was in poor health, they came immediately and planned to see Dart for the last time, but unfortunately they were blocked outside.
At this moment, they saw a strange young man emerge from inside, apparently seeing Dalt for the last time. These young people were very surprised, and they all guessed the identity of the other person.
At this moment, the old man who had brought them here immediately saluted the young man with a very respectful expression.
This made the younger generations who followed them even more puzzled.
But after meeting the sharp eyes of their elders, everyone had no time to ask the reason, so they could only follow and bow first.
Zi Chen nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked out the door.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in. When he saw Zi Chen, he was slightly stunned, and then saluted Zi Chen.
The young people who quietly raised their heads were even more surprised when they saw this scene.
Because the middle-aged man who came over was the leader of the Kata tribe and the strongest person in Kata.
Who is qualified to ask him to salute?
After taking a look at Liangbao, Zichen left Dalt's home.
He took one last look at this place, maybe he would never come again.
Back at the manor, Zi Chen poured a ladle of water into the little tree. The leaves of the little tree turned more yellow, and it seemed that the third leaf was about to fall off.
Dalt's funeral was arranged in a very grand manner, and almost all the prominent people from the Kata tribe came.
After nearly thirty years of development, the number of Kata people has increased several times, and many families have emerged among them.
Such as the family founded by Clark.
Fern's family.
Even Shaner got a son from old age and lived a good life.
Zi Chen did not go to Dalt's funeral because over the years, he had become accustomed to being quiet and did not like to join in the fun anymore.
Although he looks younger than Liangbao, his heart has gone through many vicissitudes, just like the small tree in the yard, which is almost withered.

After the funeral, the leader Liangbao returned to his room.
A young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old followed him. After Liangbao sat down, he immediately said: "Dad, that old guy is dead, can we take action?"
A fierce light flashed in the young man's eyes.
Liangbao glanced at his eldest son and said, "What do you know?"
The young man said: "I don't understand the relationship between you, but I know that they have a huge say in Miracle City. As long as they are solved, Miracle City will belong to our Benson family."
Benson is Liangbao's surname.
This was the surname he recovered after his rise, and Liangbao founded the Benson family with it.
Since Liang Bao became the leader, the Benson family has expanded rapidly in the past eight years.
Liangbao said: "Don't mention such stupid things again in the future. Also, I have arranged a marriage for you. She is the daughter of Li Mou, the current head of the Dal family. Li Mou and I have already discussed it. You two
Let’s get married as soon as possible.”
"What, getting married?"
The young man was stunned and said: "How young am I? I haven't had enough fun yet. Why are I in such a hurry to get married?"
Liangbao was really too lazy to pay attention to this son who only knew how to fight and kill without any brains. He waved his hand and said: "Get out of here!"
When the young man left, he felt angry and needed to find someone to vent to.
Liangbao sighed: "Dart is dead, but there are still many old guys alive. Moreover, although Zi Chen is an ordinary person, I still can't see through him. Marriage is the best choice."
A month later, a grand wedding was held, which meant the official alliance between Benson and Dahl.
Two years later, the third leaf fell from the tree.
Looking at the third fallen leaf, Zi Chen said lightly: "One leaf every ten years? If your destiny and mine are closely linked, does this mean that as many leaves as you have left, I only have as many years of life left?"
?”
Zi Chen counted and there were twenty-three pieces left.
The fourth decade has passed, and another leaf has fallen.
This year, Zi Chen sent away another friend.
Shaner.
The old man who was once the village chief of Kata regained his life once, but still failed to stop the erosion of time and passed away.
Clark and Fern have fallen to the third level and have already reached their twilight years.
Kata is still a tribe, but there are many more families in this tribe.
Among them, the Benson family is the largest.
Because the Benson family occupies the Divine Soul Heavenly Mill, the commission drawn every day alone is a large amount.
The original rule of free exchange for all Kata people was lifted by the leader of Liangbao twelve years ago, the year Dart left.
Forty years have passed, and the servants in the manor have all grown old. Zi Chen paid them severance pay and asked them to go back and take care of themselves.
Their children or relatives took their place.
On this day, there were rare guests outside the manor, and there were two of them.
It's Vern and Clark.
The carriage stopped outside the manor. Looking at the two old men who were no longer moving so neatly, Zi Chen's face showed a long-lost smile.
After years of development, horses can be domesticated, and carriages have become a means of transportation for some people.
"We came to see you. We're afraid we won't see you again later."
Clark said with a smile, decades passed by and the old man in his prime was already in his twilight years.
On this day, Zi Chen did not drink tea, but drank wine.
They talked about many things, including former friends.
Except for Shanya and Noah who have left, everyone else has become old friends.
deceased people.
For the next period of time, the two of them would come to Zi Chen's place every day to work, and sometimes they would help Zi Chen water the trees.
Zi Chen could feel that the two of them were about to decay and their time was running out.
Sure enough, Clark couldn't hold on until his soul power was completely gone, and he left one night.
He went to bed at night and never got up again. He passed away peacefully.
Next to the small tree, only Zi Chen and Fern were left.
An empty wine glass was placed in front of the two of them.
Zi Chen filled up the empty wine glass and said, "Here's to you."
He took a big gulp.
Fern shed a few tears, and another old friend passed away.
"One day, if I leave too, I hope you can pour me another glass of wine, just as the three of us are reunited again, drinking as friends."
Fern looked at the wine glass that was no longer picked up and said: "If people really have souls after death, we will come here to say goodbye to you."
