Chapter 74 Flying Dragon in the Sky

"Go this way, the bridge is a bit old, be careful."

Han Qing stretched out his hand to the girl behind him, for fear that she would fall into the flowing stream.

However, You Yanzhi was ahead of him and helped the black-haired girl across the bridge.Han Qing stared blankly at the scene, thinking that the proud son of heaven, who had always been sarcastic, would take such care of his sweetheart.He believed in the identity of this fiancée.

"Grandma Eglin doesn't live in the town, but lives in a hut outside the town. We usually send her food, and people nearby also visit her regularly."

Han Qing walked ahead, leading the two of them across the creek and across a sparse maple forest.When we reached the end of the woods, a gravel path appeared in front of us, and unknown wild flowers bloomed on the side of the road, swaying with the breeze.And at the far other end of the starting point, a hut hidden in the green looms.

You Yisi stepped on the gravel road, his heart beat faster.

Is he about to meet his last remaining relative?His mother's mother, his grandmother?

You Yanzhi seemed to feel his nervousness, and shook his hand comfortingly.

"Grandma Eglin?"

Walking to the wooden house, Han Qing called out tentatively, but did not respond.He said to the two: "Maybe it's in the garden, I'll take a look, you guys wait here for a while."

"Ah."

After a while, when they saw that Han Qing hadn't come back, You Yanzhi thought it was boring to stand at the door, so he said, "I'll go check around."

Yisi was the only one left at the spot, he stood for a while, then squatted down to the side of the road looking at those little wild flowers to pass the time.

"what?"

After looking at it, he realized that among the flowers beside the gravel path, there were some well-built huts.Some of them are only as big as a person's palm, and some are as high as a knee. Each small villa has beautiful coloring and exquisite details.Small doors, small windows, even chimneys and interior decorations are meticulous.It looks like a hut where the elves live in the flower garden.

You Yisi couldn't help but walked back and forth around the path, and found that there were seven or eight small villas, large and small, among the flowers. He also found a miniature playground composed of small swings and seesaws.All of this looks full of life, as if there are elves living here.

However, maybe the wind was too strong, the door of a small villa was blown open, and fallen leaves and dead grass were blown in.

You Yisi squatted down, sorted out the dead leaves, and carefully closed the small door.

"Really, Brett forgot to close the door when he went out." A hoarse and cheerful voice came from behind, "If the strong wind ran into its fireplace, it would be freezing at night."

You Yisi turned his head and saw an old woman with white hair standing behind him.She has a kind appearance, her back is slightly bent, and when she stands up, she is not as high as You Yisi's chest, but seeing the other party's appearance somewhat similar to her own, both the old woman and You Yisi are stunned.

"Oh, little Jasmine." The old woman was stunned for a few seconds, and then she laughed sincerely, "It's school holidays, why didn't you tell mom in advance? I haven't prepared your favorite shortbread yet." .”

"I'm not..." You Yimi said halfway, thinking of his current attire.Could it be that grandma recognized the wrong person because she resembled her mother?

The old woman had already stepped forward and held his hand, "I haven't heard from you for a long time since you went to school. Last time you sent a letter to your mother and said that the boy who is always pestering you, how is it now? Let me tell you as long as People are sincere, no matter what your background is, don't care about it."

A man of unknown origin who keeps pestering his mother?You Yisi was furious, thinking that he must be a disciple who came out of nowhere.

"Even if their parents are gone, their property is confiscated, and they are older than you, as long as they really love you, it's fine." The old woman hesitated again, "It's just that there are too many enemies outside, it's not that Good. What if it affects you in the future?"

How does this background become more and more familiar?You Yimi gradually had a bad feeling.

"By the way, what's the guy's name? Not famous?"

You Yimi: "..."

It turned out that the father was such an image in the eyes of the mother-in-law back then.I don't know what method he used to hug the beauty back, You Yisi mourned for a few seconds for his father whom he had never met.

The two returned to the wooden house holding hands, and saw Han Qing showing anxiety and You Yanzhi pressing the corner of his mouth.

"Grandma Eglin! Where have you been?" He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man, and hurried up to support her.

"I went to a party with the little guys in the flowers." The old woman laughed and said, "They made a lot of sweet pies today, but unfortunately, you are not lucky enough to eat them."

Holding hands by Han Qing, she seemed to have forgotten You Yisi again, and she stopped calling Little Jasmine, but followed him into the house.

Several people then went into the room to rest, and after a while, Han Qing came over to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Grandma Eglin's mind is not clear now, and sometimes she talks nonsense, so we just follow her."

"Does she still recognize people?" You Yisi asked.

"I only remember a few of us who come here often, and the others can't remember clearly."

You Yisi couldn't help being a little disappointed. It seemed that although grandma was still alive, it was probably impossible to communicate with her about her mother.

Just as he was thinking about this, Eglin walked out of the kitchen, and put a plate of shortbread and pastries in front of You Yisi.

She smiled and said, "This is Brett's thank you gift. Do you like it?"

You Yisi was taken aback, looking into the old man's eyes, he couldn't tell whether the other party's memory was confused or he was partially awake.

"Thank you." He picked up the shortbread and took a bite, "I like it very much."

"Hehe, the elves really like you too."

Han Qing showed an expression of coming again, as if she had become accustomed to Eglin's words and her virtual elf companions.

However, he heard the young girl listening to the old man's funny stories about the elves with great interest, and interrupted from time to time.

"I also know an elf." The black-haired girl said, "He is beautiful and has a noble blood, but he always likes to tease others. I am always bullied by him."

Eglin was surprised: "Hey, elves are very kind. Is your friend really an elf?"

"He's not an elf, but a 'big' elf." You Yisi said with a smirk, "His ears are sharp, and his appearance is much better than that of a human. He must be a bad-tempered elf."

The two of you talked to each other, but they started talking around this topic.

Han Qing raised his forehead, "The world of women is really incomprehensible."

You Yanzhi glanced at him, but didn't speak in silence.The afternoon passed quickly, and the two didn't talk for a long time, they were all talking about irrelevant topics.When the sun fell to the other corner of the room, You Yisi knew that it was time to leave.

"I have to go." He stood up and looked at the old man reluctantly. "I will come to you next time."

At this time, the old man seemed to be confused again, unable to understand his words, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was fiddling with.

You Yisi sighed helplessly, stood up, and walked out the door.

At the door, Yan Zhi and Han Qing were discussing swordsmanship.When You Yisi was chatting with the old man before, the two went out for a competition in boredom, and You Yanzhi was giving advice to the young man.

"You have a solid foundation in swordsmanship but you don't have enough adaptability. You should rarely experience actual combat, just practice with others." You Yanzhi said, "I suggest that you have time to go out and participate in mercenary experience, and your skills will definitely improve a lot. A few years If your strength improves in the future, you can come to me, and I will introduce Xiao Yisi to you."

Han Qing excitedly said, "Can I?"

You Yanzhi turned his head and glanced at someone without any trace, "If he likes you, you have to go if you don't want to."

You Yisi: Hehe, you sound like a bully who robs civilian men.

"Jasmine, are you still cold?"

Hey?

You Yisi turned around, only to see his grandmother standing behind him at some point, holding a newly knitted sweater in her hand.

She murmured: "When you didn't come back, my mother always dreamed of you. I dreamed that you were trapped in the dark, shouting that it was so cold, so cold. When I woke up, I couldn't find you. , there is no news about you even if you ask others. Little Jasmine, you won’t be cold if you put on the clothes mom wove.”

She draped the sweater over You Yisi's shoulders, touching the soft texture, You Yisi froze for a moment.

"I always have nightmares, dreaming that you can't come back outside, leaving mother alone. Sometimes people tell me that you are dead and will not go home again. I am very angry and drive those people away I'm gone. I'm old, but I'm not stupid. My little Jasmine is definitely not dead, and she will definitely come back to find her mother." The old man said, stretching out his hand to caress You Yisi's face, "No, you go home now Yes. Little Jasmine, how are you doing outside?"

You Yimi's eyes turned red.

"I'm fine." He held the old man's hand, "When I come back next time, take you to live with me, okay?"

The old woman smiled, but said nothing.

At this time, You Yanzhi and Han Qing came over, and they were a little strange seeing his red eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Qing asked.

"No." You Yisi washed his nose, "Ash ran into his eyes."

No one would believe such a lame lie, but no one would have the heart to expose him.The black-haired girl desperately held back her tears and her pitiful appearance would only arouse pity.Han Qing couldn't help but look at You Yanzhi, envious of him.

The time to part has finally come.

You Yisi turned his head step by step, and saw the old man leaning against the door of the wooden house watching them off, his footsteps were heavy.

She seemed to be waiting there, waiting for her daughter to come home, but she didn't know that her daughter had already been buried in Xinghai.

When You Yisi was feeling sad, he heard a word from the old man from afar.

"Even if that bad elf always bullies you, looks better than you, has a complicated family background, and has a lot of troubles. As long as he treats you sincerely, you don't need to worry about it."

This familiar admonition made You Yimi stagger.When I looked back, the wooden house had disappeared around the corner, and the old man was nowhere to be seen.

……

"Really? He went anyway."

In the dimly lit room, someone sighed, waved his subordinates away, and found a long-preserved photo.

In the photo, a handsome young man hugged a girl with long curly hair, and the two smiled softly.Beside them, there are several other boys and girls standing. They all have the same vigor in their eyes, as if reflecting the entire starry sky.Among them, there was a young man in the far corner who looked a bit weak, but his appearance was somewhat similar to Shen Yanwen.

This is a group photo taken a long time ago, so long ago that many people in the photo are no longer alive.

The man lingered on the photo with complicated eyes. After a long time, he finally made a decision.

Let the heirs of this generation pay off the debt he owed because of his cowardice back then.
