His voice was very soft, but anyone who was not deaf could hear it.
The old man in front of him gave Qin Feiyang a sense of intimacy that his second grandfather and third grandfather could not compare to.
So he guessed that this old man was most likely his grandfather who had never shown up.
But the old man still didn't open his eyes.
"what happened?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious and said again unwillingly: "Grandpa, I really miss you. Can you open your eyes and look at me?"
Another long time passed.
Just when Qin Feiyang was about to rush onto the terrace, the old man's eyelids twitched and he finally slowly opened his eyes.
They were a pair of cloudy eyes, but you could clearly see that there was a deep sense of sadness in them.
The old man just looked at Qin Feiyang without saying a word.
Qin Feiyang urged: "Answer me, are you my grandfather?"
"well!"
The old man sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm not your grandfather."
"no?"
Qin Feiyang stiffened and said, "Since you are not my grandfather, why do you give me such a strong sense of intimacy?"
"Maybe it's because of it!"
The old man reached out and grabbed a cane from the ground in front of him.
The crutch is completely red, as if it were cast from magma, with a lifelike fire phoenix hanging on it.
Qin Feiyang looked at the crutch.
The old man said: "This crutch was made by your grandfather himself."
"Shall I go up and have a look?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"Can."
The old man nodded.
Qin Feiyang jumped up, landed on the terrace, and took the crutch from the old man's hand.
The moment he took the crutches into his hands, a stronger sense of intimacy than before suddenly surged into Qin Feiyang's heart.
"It really comes from this crutch..."
Qin Feiyang murmured.
"When your grandfather was refining this crutch, he added his own divine blood, so it makes you feel particularly kind."
The old man explained.
"So that's it."
Qin Feiyang muttered, looked down at the old man, and asked, "Then why is grandpa's crutch in your hand?"
"I'm keeping it for him."
The old man said.
"then who are you?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
The old man said: "I am your grandpa's younger brother, ranked fourth, you can call me fourth grandpa."
"Grandpa Fourth?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
In the past, he thought that his grandfather only had one younger brother, the second grandfather. However, in the place of inheritance, a third grandfather suddenly appeared.
And now.
Another fourth grandpa actually appeared?
How many brothers does grandpa have?
Isn’t it possible that another fifth grandpa will pop up in the future?
Seemingly sensing Qin Feiyang's doubts, the old man said hoarsely: "We only have four brothers."
"oh!"
Qin Feiyang responded, lowered his head to look at the crutch, and suddenly asked: "Grandpa, where is he now?"
"Retreat."
Fourth Grandpa replied without any hesitation.
"Retreat..."
Qin Feiyang murmured.
Last night, he heard from his second grandpa that his grandpa was in retreat. He didn't believe it, so now when he saw his fourth grandpa, he suddenly asked.
Because when a person faces a sudden question, he often instinctively answers truthfully.
In other words.
He was trying to trick Grandpa Fourth.
And after hearing Fourth Grandpa's straightforward answer, he no longer had any doubts.
Qin Feiyang stretched out his hand and stroked the crutch and asked, "Grandpa Fourth, can you give me this crutch?"
"cannot."
Fourth Grandpa shook his head, very simply.
Qin Feiyang smiled helplessly, held the crutch in both hands, and handed it to his fourth grandfather.
Fourth Grandpa reached out and grabbed the crutch, looked up at Qin Feiyang, and sighed: "We can all understand your mood, but some things cannot be forced."
"My grandson understands."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"As long as you know."
Fourth Grandpa said calmly and then asked: "When I saw you entering the medicine field just now, you looked very confused. Are you thinking about something?"
Compared to the second grandpa and the third grandpa, the fourth grandpa has a somewhat cold personality.
"You knew I entered the medicine field?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
"certainly."
"As long as someone enters the medicine field, I can sense it immediately."
Fourth Grandpa said.
"Then you just pretended not to see it?"
Qin Feiyang felt quite unhappy, but he didn't dare to speak directly. He nodded and said: "I was thinking about something on my mind. When I came to Lu's house this time, I thought I could unlock the answer in my heart and I thought I could see my grandpa. But in the end,
I didn't get anything, which made me confused."
"There are many helpless things in this world, so why should you be persistent?"
"Go according to your own heart."
"Do whatever you have to do."
"Thinking about things you can't understand will only increase your worries."
Fourth Grandpa said.
"It only increases worries..."
"Go according to your own heart..."
Qin Feiyang murmured, suddenly woke up, bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Fourth, for the tip."
"Go for it!"
"Your life has just begun. There is still a long way to go. Whatever you want to do, just do it and don't leave any regrets for yourself."
Fourth Grandpa smiled.
This was the first time he smiled when he met Qin Feiyang.
"yes."
Qin Feiyang bowed and responded, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the village.
"What a smart boy."
"If my second brother hadn't summoned me in advance last night and explained clearly, I might have actually let the matter slip when he suddenly asked me this question just now."
Looking at Qin Feiyang's back, the fourth grandfather shook his head and murmured, then closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
…
By the time Qin Feiyang returned to the village, the sun was already rising high.
Most people in the village have already gotten up.
Old people gather together in twos and threes to exercise.
The children also welcomed the rising sun and exhaled their vitality.
Over the whole village, smoke curled up, presenting a peaceful scene.
"Feiyang, morning!"
"Where are you coming back from?"
"Didn't you sleep at night?"
When passing the village entrance, several big men who were out doing farm work greeted Qin Feiyang with a smile and were extremely cordial.
"There is sleep."
"But I woke up early in the morning and saw that no one was up, so I went for a walk in the nearby mountains."
Qin Feiyang smiled.
"It seems you haven't gotten used to our life here yet."
"Let me tell you, in our place, both adults and children basically sleep and rest every night."
"Yes, what is the purpose of living in this world? Isn't it just to enjoy life? Why should you let yourself suffer in order to pursue cultivation!"
"You just came here, so you won't understand it. If you wait for a long time, you will gradually get used to it."
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's go to work. There is still a large wheat field to weed. Let's drink together in the evening."
A few big men thought about it for a while, then smiled at Qin Feiyang, then walked towards the wheat field in the distance with their hoes on their shoulders.
Qin Feiyang looked at the few people walking around freely, his eyes full of envy.
Even though these people are all big and thick men, they are actually not weak in cultivation. There are two eight-star war emperors and four seven-star war emperors.
With such a level of cultivation, outsiders would be able to dominate a country.
But these people live an ordinary life, eating, sleeping, doing farm work every day, and enjoying it.
Frankly speaking, even Qin Feiyang is ashamed of his indifferent state of mind.
Shaking his head, Qin Feiyang turned around and entered the village.
When a woman saw Qin Feiyang from afar, she waved and said, "Feiyang, I just made breakfast. Come over and have some."
"Thank you, aunt. My second grandpa is still waiting for me at home. I will visit your home again when I have time."
Qin Feiyang smiled.
"Okay, come over anytime."
The woman nodded.
"Feiyang, come on, these are freshly steamed meat buns. Take a few and try them."
"There is also soybean juice here. I grind it myself."
"I also have freshly baked old noodle steamed buns here. You can try some of them too."
The people in the village were so enthusiastic that Qin Feiyang could hardly stand it.
but.
Looking at those caring smiling faces, his heart felt very warm.
This is what we call relatives!
Those hypocritical people in the Imperial Palace are nothing compared to the people here.
soon.
He returned to the yard.
The second grandfather had also gotten up early and prepared breakfast for Qin Feiyang himself.
Two bowls of millet porridge, two portions of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of kimchi.
Very simple.
But very warm.
The taste is average, but Qin Feiyang is particularly delicious when he eats it in his mouth.
Seeing Qin Feiyang eating with gusto, his second grandfather also smiled and asked: "Feiyang, how long are you going to stay this time?"
Qin Feiyang paused his arm slightly and said, "I'll leave tomorrow."
"So fast?"
"Aren't there still five or six days before the miracle starts?"
Second Grandpa asked.
Qin Feiyang drank the millet porridge in the bowl in one breath, put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, then raised his head and scanned the village and the villagers, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
After a while.
Qin Feiyang withdrew his gaze and sighed: "I also want to stay forever, but there are some things I have to do."
The second grandpa fell silent.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said: "However, once I have time in the future, I will come back. When you are old, don't think I'm annoying!"
"What are you talking about? It's not too late for me to like you!"
The second grandfather glared at him.
Qin Feiyang smiled, holding the empty bowl, and said: "Is there any more millet porridge? I want to eat some more."
"have."
"I've prepared a big pot just for you, go and fill it yourself."
The second grandpa smiled.
"okay!"
Qin Feiyang immediately ran towards the kitchen excitedly.
"What's wrong with this kid?"
"You were depressed last night, why did you feel a little different when you went out this morning?"
The second grandfather looked at Qin Feiyang's back suspiciously.
Sudden.
He shook his head and smiled, "What are you thinking about? As long as the child is happy."
Happy time always passes quickly.
One day passed.
night.
Qin Feiyang chatted with his second grandfather for a long time.
And after being enlightened by his fourth grandfather, he slept soundly that night.
And I also had a good dream. I dreamed that my mother also came to the village and everyone gathered together.
When he woke up the next day, he felt more comfortable than ever.
The second grandfather knew that Qin Feiyang was leaving, so he got up very early and prepared a rich breakfast for Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang also ate everything without any leftovers.
What should come will always come, and what should go will always go.
After helping his second grandfather clean up the dishes, Qin Feiyang endured the reluctance in his heart and said goodbye to his second grandfather.
The second grandpa didn't say much, only two sentences.
First sentence, take care.
Second sentence, bring Lu Zheng with you.
Except for his second grandfather, Qin Feiyang did not disturb anyone else and left the village silently, heading for Devil's Cliff.
