From a chubby little boy who only knew how to make mischief to an old man now, it spanned a hundred years and tens of thousands of days of sunrise and moonset, which was extremely long.
Mo Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the old man kneeling in front of him.
There are no traces of his youth on his body, and there is no trace of familiarity.
Her former companion was still as energetic as she remembered. When she woke up, she felt as if she was in a dream. But the old man's "Master" in front of her pulled her into reality.
There started to be a commotion around.
Zhou Kaijing and Liang Xuzhi's eyes nearly popped out. Wen Yingxue frowned, murderous intent bursting out of her eyes.
"What's going on?"
"The village elder must be confused."
"Even if his master is still alive, he must be over a hundred years old. How can he be such a young girl? She must be confused."
…
They whispered.
Mo Qing took a step forward, without any trace of nervousness or embarrassment, and calmly leaned over to help Mo Yiting up.
She whispered in Mo Yipai's ear: "Go in and talk."
Although Mo Yiting was over a hundred years old, he was sharp-sighted and sane. He said "Okay" to Mo Qing and then led her to the back room.
Seeing that he was about to leave all these things behind and leave with Mo Qing, some people couldn't wait any longer.
Liang Xuzhi: "Village Chief."
Zhou Kaijing: "Our apprenticeship ceremony is not over yet."
The two people gathered around and whispered persuasions.
Mo Yi paused and looked down, landing on the puddle of water on the ground.
The pieces of the tea bowl have been cleared away, but the water marks are still there.
He raised his eyes and his eyes fell on Wen Yingxue, who was standing quietly and calmly. He paused and said, "The auspicious time has passed. The apprenticeship ceremony is suspended and will be discussed later."
His voice was old, but full of majesty.
Compared with those old people who have dim eyesight and declining facial features, he is obviously different. He seems to be ten or twenty years younger.
Liang Xuzhi was anxious: "But -"
Zhou Kaijing grabbed Liang Xuzhi, shook his head gently, and then said to Mo Yiting: "Yes."
In Zhushe Village, the village chief Mo Yiting is the authority.
Interrupting the apprenticeship scene is nothing more than offending the media and the audience, but if you defy Mo Yiting, 90% of the people in Zhushe Village will not agree.
after all--
Apart from those who had to be present because of their appearance, how many people in the village would come to see Liang Xuzhi accept a disciple?
…
After Mo Yiting left with Mo Qing, the whole scene exploded.
Whether online or offline.
The barrage is going crazy.
[I see that the village chief speaks clearly and is in a normal state of mind. How come he calls him Master Mo Qing?]
[The village chief also has a master, does he have a background? 】
[I forgot where I read the Bagua, it seems to be a legendary miracle doctor.]
【I have also heard the story of the miracle doctor.】
[Mo Qing is also very abnormal. When such a majestic old man kneels down and calls her Master, she doesn’t react at all?]
[Protest! Why stop? It’s unfair to Wen Yingxue!]
[Wen Yingxue was so wronged. All the glorious moments in life were ruined by Mo Qing.]
【Who's going to pick up Mo Qing? I'm very curious about who she is.】
…
Netizens’ information channels are omnipotent.
After a while, someone jumped out and said, "Those things about Mo Qing and Wen Yingxue's real and fake daughters" and wrote a short composition, describing it vividly and wonderfully.
The short essay was immediately reposted crazily.
[What kind of legendary and outrageous story, such a vulgar true and false Thousand Gold Terrier can also be reflected in reality? 】
[In other words, Mo Qing deliberately tried to steal the identity of the ‘Mo family’s daughter’, but later the Mo family investigated and found out that the real daughter was Wen Yingxue? Damn it, that’s exciting. 】
[I used to rob my parents, but now I rob my master. Do Mo Qing and Wen Yingxue have a grudge?]
【Mo Qing is so shameless.】
【Is there any need to say that you have a superior opinion? 】
[You can tell at a glance that Mo Qing is not a good guy.]
【I feel sorry for Wen Yingxue.】
…
*
When netizens sprayed Mo Qing all over his body, Mo Qing followed Mo Yiting to his study.
Zhou Kaijing and two young men followed.
"You all should go," Mo Yiting told them, "I want to have a private chat with her."
He is still trembling with excitement at the reunion after a long absence.
However, it didn't show anything.
"Village chief, you have to tell me who she is, right?" Zhou Kaijing frowned, "otherwise we won't worry."
Mo Yi paused.
Previously, in a moment of excitement, he called Mo Qing "Master" in public, but now it is obviously unjustifiable to say that Mo Qing is "Master".
Even if you say it, no one will believe it.
So, Mo Yiting changed his words: "My master's descendants."
Mo Qing stood aside and after hearing this introduction, he raised his hand and touched his nose.
She probably has mitosis.
"So that's it." Zhou Kaijing lost his guard a little.
If so, then Mo Yiting knelt down and called Master on the spot, probably not because of Mo Qing, but because of Mo Qing's ancestors.
That makes sense.
Mo Yiting said: "Let's go."
"yes."
Zhou Kaijing nodded.
He made a gesture to the two young men, and then the three of them turned and left together.
As soon as they left, Mo Yi pulled Mo Qing into the house and closed the door.
"Master."
Mo Yiting grabbed Mo Qing's hand and looked at her young face carefully, tears welling up in his eyes unconsciously.
Mo Qing glanced at him up and down and asked, "Picked for nothing?"
"Master, I picked it up for nothing." Mo Yiting said quickly, and then explained, "My current name is Mo Yiting. Adjutant Mo changed it for me. He said whoever picked it up has the same surname. It is your tradition."
Mo Qing: "..." Tradition is rubbish.
But soon, I found it funny again.
Strictly speaking, she was picked up by Adjutant Mo, and she also takes Adjutant Mo's surname, so if you really want to talk about "tradition", there is really nothing wrong with her.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Mo Qing sighed inwardly.
To accept is to accept.
However, for her, in the blink of an eye, the little fat man turned into an old man, and it was difficult for her to adapt.
After thinking for a while, she pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down."
"You sit down first." Mo Yiting said, "I'll make you some tea."
Mo Qing raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly cold tone: "I'll let you sit."
"OK."
Mo Yiting immediately behaved.
He turned around, walked to the chair, and sat down, sitting in a very polite posture, like a student meeting the teacher.
Mo Qing sat down on a chair nearby, folded her legs, and looked at him sideways.
Something feels weird.
In the past six months, she has searched through historical materials and found everything she could find, but there was no living person.
Suddenly someone who was still alive appeared, which was a bit awkward.
After a pause, Mo Qing asked: "How did you become the village chief?"
"Master, it was Mr. Jiang who asked me to be the one." Mo Yiteng replied, "He asked me to manage the village well, teach people medical skills, grow medicinal materials, and promote traditional Chinese medicine. He also said..."
Mo Qing's heart tightened: "What did you say?"
"He also said," Mo Yiting looked at her with light in his eyes, "If I live long enough, I might see you again."
"..."
Mo Qing was stunned.
Behind them, the curtain on the right side shook.
"When I grew up, I thought he was coaxing me, but I didn't expect..." Mo Yi stopped mentioning this, and tears filled his eyes again, "What he said is true, I really saw you again."
.”
He was like a living child at the moment.
"What happened after I left?" Mo Qing's fingers on the armrest curled up slightly, "Please tell me in detail."
Mo Yiting wiped away his tears, exhaled slowly and said, "Okay."
Mo Qing listened silently.
"I was only eight years old the year you left." Mo Yiting said, "Mr. Jiang and the others didn't tell me many things."
"I remember that a month after you left, Mr. Jiang and Adjutant Mo started to select a site and said they wanted to build a village. They had been looking for it for three months, and they chose this place - this was the land they had specially approved by the government.
.”
"This place is deserted. There were only two families living here, and they all moved away."
"Mr. Jiang personally drew the village drawings and planned the use of each piece of land. In the second year, our village took a rough shape. Mr. Jiang asked A Qiao and I to live here and take good care of the village."
"After that, I stayed in the village and never went out again."
After Mo Yi stopped speaking, he asked Mo Qing with his eyes.
Mo Qing frowned slightly.
No wonder every plant and tree in this village is to her liking...
He said, "It will happen."
He did it.
Even though he was gone, he still fulfilled her wish.
Mo Qing continued to ask: "What happened next?"
"Mr. Jiang and the others..." Mo Yiting's eyes showed sorrow and grief, "They never came again."
"Any news?"
"Yes." Mo Yiting nodded, but after a while, he slowly spoke, "After I stayed in the village for half a year, I got the news of Mr. Jiang's death."
"Death?"
Mo Qing's eyelids twitched and his reaction was slightly bigger.
She had thought about countless possibilities, even the possibility that "Jiang Yan married a wife and had children, and Jiang Ke was his descendant", but no matter how she thought about it, she never thought about this possibility.
ten years.
He had been licking blood for ten years without dying, so how could he die in the peaceful years?
Mo Yiting hesitated for a long time before continuing: "I heard it was an assassination. He was shot in the head. He died after resuscitation failed."
Mo Qing's eyebrows were cold: "Who did it?"
Mo Yi stopped shaking his head.
He said: "There is no explanation until now."
"..."
Mo Qing pursed her lower lip, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little.
After a long time, she asked: "Where are the others?"
"Not sure." Mo Yiting answered honestly, "After they settled me in, I never came again."
After a while, Mo Yiting said again: "Only A Qing."
Ah Qiao.
The little soldier who had been following them was able to fight on the battlefield and in the kitchen. After the world was at peace, he retired from the army and decided to stay with Mo Qing and Jiang Ke.
Silly, silly, silly boy.
"What's wrong with him?"
Mo Yitong replied: "Aqiao has been with me in the village, brought me to adulthood, gave me the status of village chief, and then left."
He paused: "Like them, he never came back."
Everyone is like this, once they leave, they never come back.
He waited and waited, but didn't find anyone.
Waiting every day, hoping every day, waiting all my life.
He thought he would just wait until the end of his life, but God favored him, and in his last years, he actually waited for his master.
However, he already looks old and old, while his master is still the same as when he left, without any change.
If everyone could be like his master...
How great it would be.
"They," Mo Qing spoke again, his voice softer, "Why didn't they leave their names in history?"
"Ah Qiao said that they don't want to take all the credit. Since you are going to be erased from history, they shouldn't exist." Mo stopped talking and then asked doubtfully, "But Master, why are you erased?"
Mo Qing was suddenly stopped by his question.
Bai Xian was too young at that time.
Everyone was tacitly aware of the situation and kept the matter secret.
Mo Yiting asked again: "Is it because you are different from them?"
"No." Mo Qing's eyes narrowed.
Seeing the look in Mo Qing's eyes, Mo stopped and stopped asking.
As he got older, he was no longer the kid who broke the casserole and asked the truth.
There were some things that shouldn't be mentioned again, so Mo Qing changed the subject: "Has A Qiao contacted you since he left?"
"No." Mo Yiting said, "I knew he went to the Imperial City. He said that his home is in the Imperial City."
Mo Qing frowned: "He is an orphan."
If he hadn't been an orphan, A Qiao wouldn't have followed them.
"I think what he said was that he would start a family in the Imperial City." Mo Yiting said.
"Oh." Mo Qing could understand, and then asked, "Where are your children?"
"No," Mo Yiting explained, "I'm not married."
"Um?"
Mo Qing raised his eyebrows strangely.
"I have only one wish in my life." A smile appeared on Mo Yiting's wrinkled face, "Now this wish has been fulfilled."
He said happily: "Master, if I can see you before I die, my hundred years will not be in vain."
Mo Qing was stunned.
"It's a pity that I'm like this..." Mo Yiting looked at his frail and old body, "It's hard to be filial to you anymore."
It would have been better if it had been earlier.
In this case, he can do more for his master.
Master picked him up from the roadside, saved his life, and allowed him to live until now.
During those five years, he always wanted to grow up quickly and was extremely eager to have the opportunity to repay his master.
But later, he wished that time could go slower and that he could grow old slowly.
Otherwise, how to repay?
Mo Qing picked up an apple on the coffee table and said leisurely: "I am young, why do I need your filial piety?"
"Yes, yes." Mo Yiting nodded quickly.
"By the way..." Mo Qing thought of the Imperial City, tossed the apple in his hand, and took a bite, "What's A Qiao's name? Did she change her name like you later?"
Quiet and quiet, I'm used to it.
She never asked A Qiao's name.
After such a long time, Mo Yipai didn't even think about it for a second, and directly replied: "A Qiao's surname is Peng, and his name is Peng Qiao."
"Peng..." Mo Qing slowly swallowed the apple, suddenly turned his head, looked at the curtain somewhere, and said lazily, "Hey, have you heard enough?"
"What?" Mo Yi stopped in shock and looked toward the curtains.
The blackout curtains were opened, and the wind lifted a layer of white gauze. Jiang Ke, who had been standing there for an unknown length of time, finally appeared.
Jiang Ke looked straight at Mo Qing.
Mo Qing shrugged.
In such a quiet study, how could she not notice that there was an extra person?
Soon, Jiang Ke came over.
However, after Mo Yipai saw Jiang Ke's face clearly, he stood up tremblingly, staggered forward, held on to the back of the chair, and shouted excitedly: "Mr. Jiang..."
