Saito Yulan got out of the car and stood on the waiting table, breathing slightly.

She looked at the splashes in the puddle outside the platform and was ecstatic for a long time.

Perhaps because the deadline is approaching, her condition is extremely poor. After walking a few steps, she feels tightness in her chest and a disordered breath. There is no trace of the style that an outsider should have.

In fact, it is about two years before her original deadline.

But in the battle with Musashi Kojiro, his energy could no longer be blocked, like a flood that opened the floodgates, the vast passing momentum was already unstoppable.

In terms of physical constitution, humans in the four realms of the world are not as good as those in the non-human races that have inherited the bloodline of star beasts and old gods in the world. Even if they can use the means of blocking their own spiritual energy to extend their lifespan.

But once this "lock" is pried, it will be like a flood discharge, and it will be difficult to re-strengthen the blockade.

And all this was foreseeable in advance by Saito Yuran.

It is precisely because of this that she asked the man's junior to stay in Tokyo for a few more days and help her bring a gift.

She had already predicted that the disaster in Yingzhou, which was caused by the Saito family, was also the day when her death was approaching.

Saito Yuran was lost for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking.

She suddenly came to her senses and looked at the huge rain in front of her, which was almost the same as the curtain.

Suddenly, a very faint smile appeared.

I still remember that year when we met, it was raining like this in Yingzhou.

But it was early summer at that time, and the cherry blossoms were blooming on the street, which was very beautiful.

The light pink cherry blossoms floated in the rain, and as the rain fell, the petals flowed through their feet along the vast flowing water on the road.

There was a heavy rain between the world, but she looked down at the rushing water wrapped in petals, and felt that the world was so quiet, as if there were only two of them.

Saito Yulan held up her umbrella and staggered into the road below the waiting table.

She looked up at the hotel not far away.

She learned from Kenjiro that the student who Aoyun was now staying there.

That was a good kid.

Although she is not domineering than Qingyun back then, she is extremely gentle. She is willing to sit down and listen patiently to her chatting, and agree to her seemingly excessive request.

In the future, he will meet an excellent girl.

Thinking of this.

The old woman pursed her lips slightly, and she was actually looking forward to such a future.

But at the end, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed and regretful.

The greatest hope of the elders for their younger generation is nothing more than hoping that they can live well, avoid detours, avoid the misfortunes they have encountered, and have a happy and fulfilling life.

But she seemed to have no chance to witness these things.

Saito Yulan thought with regret.

If possible, she really wanted to attend his wedding as an elder in Chang'an and see what kind of girl he would meet.

When she walked past the waiting table and the hotel, most of her clothes were wet with rain.

She staggered up the hotel stairs and saw the younger generation who were waiting there.

"I saw you by the window. You are..."

Ji Changan, who went downstairs to greet the elder in advance, looked at the wooden box in her arms, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Is this the gift the old man is going to give him to Grandpa Gu?

So.

The old man’s agreement with him is today.

Saito Yulan was stunned for a moment, smiled and reached out to grab the young man's hand.

She looked Ji Changan up and down for a while, and said with relief and some blame:

"It's good that nothing happened. You forgot what I told you that day? Tell you not to go to [Gaotianyuan], why are you so arrogant?"

When the two met that day, Saito Youlan specifically told Ji Changan not to get involved in [Gaotianyuan] before leaving.

Although she didn't know what plans were for Saito Ten Commandments in [Takahara], she knew that there would be no good things to get involved at this time, and she would not be implicated. The one who was sleeping in that mystery was a god in the old world!

Ji Changan did not reply. He looked at the old man with a serious expression and took a deep breath and said, "Your body..."

The old woman patted his hand, interrupted him, and said in a gentle tone:

"Don't you invite me to sit in your room?"

Ji Changan was silent for a while, held the old man's hand and said with a smile:

"Of course I have to ask, otherwise Grandpa Gu will know, but I have no good results. Grandma Saito, let's go here."

The old woman smiled and let the young man pull him forward.

Along the way, she looked at the young man's side face and couldn't help feeling dazed.

It was not until this moment that she discovered it.

It turns out that this child is so similar to Qingyun back then.

Ji Changan asked the old woman to sit down in the house, poured her another cup of hot water.

"Do you want to take a hot shower first?" Ji Changan hesitated and said.

Normally.

His concern can only be out of politeness and kindness.

A person who stepped into the realm of the [Saint] is not to mention being injured by the rain. If the other party thinks, even if it is heavy, he can walk freely without any trace of rain.

But the old woman at this time...

In Ji Changan's eyes, Saito Youlan is like a candle with a faint light, in the wind and rain, it will be extinguished at any time.

The old man's condition is so bad that he may die suddenly at any time.

And the last time I saw her, it was only about ten days.

Why did such a huge change happen in the middle?

Saito Yuran waved her hand and pulled the junior in front of her to her side and sat down with a smile on her face.

Ji Chang'an, who vaguely guessed the true purpose of this elder's trip, couldn't help but feel sank in his heart.

He sat down to the old woman in a good manner.

Gently held those old hands.

"I always feel that time passes too fast and too slowly. It seems that in the blink of an eye, I will reach the stage of my life in the twilight years. But looking back, the day I met Qingyun seemed to be only yesterday."

Saito Youlan held Ji Changan's hand and murmured softly, as if she was remembering the scenes of the past, and as if she was mourning her past time.

Ji Changan just listened quietly.

His mood became lower and lower, as if he had been sinking into the depths of the endless sea.

At this time, he clearly felt that the people around him were really out of reach, and he was on the verge of exhaustion.

Even though he did not have too long-term contact and deep feelings with this old woman, the fact that the old man was Grandpa Gu’s former lover was enough for him to treat the other person as his elders.

He still remembers it.

That day, Grandpa Gu said in person that he still owed a woman in this life.

I think this woman is the person in front of me at this moment.

He stared at the woman Grandpa Gu liked, and it was a little difficult to accept the other party's death.

Sadness flows in my heart.

The arrival of the old woman's death silently teased another thing in Ji Chang'an's heart that he had hidden in his heart and didn't know how to face, and made it surface.

That is, Grandpa Gu has not much time left.

Probably next year.

It may also be the year after that.

He is about to send away the old man who has given him great gifts without asking for any reward.

"Chang'an, this is a gift I have prepared for Qingyun. According to our agreement, I hope you can leave Yingzhou area as soon as possible and help me bring it to Qingyun."

Saito Youlan stuffed the wooden box in her arms into Ji Changan's hand and whispered.

Ji Changan looked at the patterns on the wooden box, nodded and asked seriously:

"Grandma Saito, do you have anything to let me bring to Grandpa Gu?"

The old woman was stunned, as if she had never thought of asking him to send a word for her, and she seemed to be moved at this moment.

She hesitated for a while.

Otherwise, I would say something to Qingyun in the end, even if it was not said by myself?
To be continued...
