Ah Nuan became more and more frightened, and finally shook off Xu Rongrong's hand and ran towards the wooden house.
"Grandpa, grandpa." The uneasiness in the girl's heart became more and more intense. She suddenly opened the door of the room and saw only the old man lying quietly on the small wooden bed.
"No, grandpa," Ah Nuan cried loudly and ran over to shake the old man, but the old man who raised her and taught her how to be a good person never opened his eyes again.
Only a smile on his lips proved that he left with a smile and no regrets in his heart.
"Grandpa, Nuan asked you and me to come back. Why didn't you wait for me? Why. Grandpa, Nuan hates you. You actually failed to do what you promised to Nuan. Grandpa, come back and smile at Nuan again, okay?"
, Say goodbye to Ah Nuan, okay, grandpa." Ah Nuan fell to the ground and cried loudly.
On the clean and flawless face, crystal tears rolled down drop by drop, and the speed at which they fell was staggering.
Behind her, Xu Rongrong leaned on Zhan Yiyang's arms and couldn't help but shed tears.
However, she couldn't watch Ah Nuan being sad, so she took the tissue from Zhan Yiyang and wiped her eyes. Xu Rongrong took a step forward, knelt down and hugged Ah Nuan.
"Nuan, grandpa is gone. He definitely doesn't want you to cry like this. He will definitely feel distressed. Nuan, please stop crying and let grandpa go in peace, okay?" Xu Rongrong took out another piece of tissue and offered it to Nuan.
Wipe the tears that are rolling down.
Because she had lost her support and the person closest to her, Ah Nuan was in a state of loneliness. She threw herself into Xu Rongrong's arms and cried loudly. While crying, she sobbed, "Auntie, Ah Nuan, from the moment I open my eyes,
When I opened my eyes, I saw only grandpa. It was grandpa who worked so hard to raise A Nuan. Now he just left without waiting for A Nuan to buy him delicious food. I will never find A Nuan again.
It’s grandpa’s turn.”
Listening to the childish voice, Xu Rongrong's heart ached. She continued to wipe away the tears for Ah Nuan, then leaned over her ear and comforted her softly, "A Nuan, look, is Grandpa okay?"
She’s smiling.”
"Yeah." An Nuan nodded.
"Look, grandpa left with a smile, which means he is happy. So what kind of situation can make grandpa happy? Of course, it is the situation where A Nuan does not cry. If grandpa knew that A Nuan cried, he would definitely not
If you are happy, you will feel uneasy when you leave. Does A Nuan hope that grandpa will be unhappy or uneasy when he leaves?" Xu Rongrong looked at this smart and smart girl and slowly reasoned with her, hoping that she could think of it.
a little.
Perhaps Xu Rongrong's words were really taken into heart by An Nuan, so after Xu Rongrong finished speaking, she was confused for a few minutes, then looked at Xu Rongrong with some confusion, and asked in a low voice, "Really? Auntie, if An Nuan doesn't
Will grandpa be happy if he cries?"
"Really." Xu Rongrong nodded, then stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears and snot from Ah Nuan, and finally nodded her red nose, "Can Ah Nuan smile and let grandpa go away happily?"
Ah Nuan was stunned for a moment. Although he was still sobbing, the corners of his mouth had cracked into a curve, which could be regarded as a forced smile.
Xu Rongrong felt sour in her heart after seeing this. This girl is so sensible, so sensible that people can't help but feel sorry for her.
But she couldn't cry, because A-Nuan managed to stop her tears. If she cried too, A-Nuan would definitely cry again.
I can't cry anymore. After all, she is a ten-year-old girl. Her eyes are already swollen and her nose is red. She can't cry anymore.
So Xu Rongrong endured the sourness in his nose, smiled softly at Ah Nuan, then supported her and stood up.
Although she tried hard not to cry, An Nuan was only ten years old after all, so she still lowered her head and sobbed lightly.
Although Xu Rongrong didn't want her to cry, the child was already obedient and stopped crying. He didn't even let her cry, which seemed a bit immoral.
So after hesitating for a while, Xu Rongrong turned around and discussed with Yiyang about the old man's funeral.
"Yi Yang, the old man has no offspring, and A Nuan is so young, I think..." Xu Rongrong opened his eyes and looked at Zhan Yiyang. Although the two of them are so close, there are some things that need to be consulted before making a decision.
Better.
Zhan Yiyang nodded. Although Xu Rongrong didn't finish her sentence, he still understood the implication of her words, "In that case, let's buy a piece of land for the old man through public bidding."
It was just a matter of spending some money. Although he and Yiyang were rich, they still had more than enough money to buy a cemetery, so naturally it didn't make much sense.
What's more, the old man's granddaughter helped Xu Rongrong find him. For this reason, even if he had no money, he would bury the old man properly.
Therefore, he supported Xu Rongrong’s proposal unconditionally.
Xu Rongrong also smiled and nodded. Asking Zhan Yiyang's opinion was just a formality, and it was also a sign of mutual respect between two people in love. However, based on so many years of understanding, Xu Rongrong had already known Zhan Yiyang's reaction, and of course he felt sad in his heart.
There are many people who say, "Then let's take the old man down the mountain and have a funeral for him, and do our best."
The two men nodded and decided to finalize the matter.
However, at this moment, a timid voice sounded, "Auntie, can you not take grandpa down the mountain?"
The one who spoke was none other than Ah Nuan, who had just been hiding away and sobbing. At this moment, she wiped away her tears, and there was a hint of stability and fortitude on her originally innocent and lovely face.
"Why, Ah Nuan?" Xu Rongrong squatted down, making his eyes level with hers, and then asked her gently.
Ah Nuan clenched her little fists, her face was still childish, but she became stronger because of the loss of her beloved grandfather, "Auntie, my grandfather told me before he died that he must be buried in this mountain when he dies.
, he said, he didn’t want to go anywhere, he just wanted to stay here forever.”
Xu Rongrong was startled, obviously he didn't expect the old man to say this, but since it was the old man's wish to be buried in this mountain, then they should help the old man realize his wish.
"Then let's help grandpa do laundry and bathing, and then sort out grandpa's belongings, okay?" Xu Rongrong asked A Nuan with a smile.
"Yes." Ah Nuan nodded. Although there was still a touch of sadness in his eyebrows, his big clear eyes were no longer filled with tears.
Although the old man was very old, he was still a man, so Zhan Yiyang called two soldiers to wipe the old man's body, and called a few more people to dig a big hole outside the wooden house.
Then he sent several people down the mountain very quickly and drove to buy a stone coffin.
As for Xu Rongrong and An Nuan, they silently packed the old man's things.
The old man lived a very poor life in the mountains, with nothing but a few books.
As for those books, Zhan Yiyang's expression changed after he read them. He looked at the old man's body and remained silent.
The old man is **10 years old this year. It is said that he went into seclusion in the mountains fifty or sixty years ago, and at that time...
After thinking for a while, Zhan Yiyang did not tell An Nuan and Xu Rongrong the identity of the old man. He silently placed the books next to the old man's bones, and when the coffin arrived, he buried everything in the old man's grave.
Not long after, some soldiers came over with a coffin, and Zhan Yiyang and the soldiers carried the old man into the coffin.
An Nuan said that if the old man didn't want to be cremated, he could just bury him directly.
If he followed the old man's wishes, he might not even need a coffin, but how could Xu Rongrong let the old man not even have a coffin.
After several twists and turns, it was already dark. This small wooden house could not hold more than a hundred soldiers, not to mention there were hundreds of people waiting in the warehouse.
So Xu Rongrong could only bury the old man. As for the monument, he had to wait a few days for it to be engraved before erecting it for the old man.
Fortunately, the soldier who bought the coffin was thoughtful and even prepared the incense.
Therefore, Xu Rongrong led An Nuan and bowed several times in front of the old man's grave. An Nuan knelt and kowtowed to the old man a few more times, lit three sticks of incense and burned them there, and then followed reluctantly.
Xu Rongrong left.
When walking to the warehouse, because it was completely dark and no one knew the way, they followed A Nuan and Xu Rongrong.
At this moment, Nuan suddenly held Xu Rongrong's hand and whispered to her, "Auntie, can Nuan come and see grandpa quietly in the future?"
Xu Rongrong lowered her head and saw the girl's big expectant eyes, and her heart melted unconsciously.
"Yes, Nuan, but you have to pay attention to safety, so you can ask Auntie to come with you." Xu Rongrong smiled softly.
"Yeah, thank you, auntie." An Nuan said softly.
Xu Rongrong smiled and said nothing, but held Ah Nuan's hand tighter.
After walking for a short time, the group came to the brightly lit warehouse. Because no one knew the way up the mountain, Chen Haoran had no choice but to lead a large number of troops here to wait for Yiyang.
As for Qian Jiali, she had long been sent to the army to receive secret questions.
Waiting for the stars and looking forward to the moon, waiting from dark to lighting up the lights, finally looking forward to the return of Zhan Yiyang and his party, Zhan Yilin rushed over excitedly, hugging Xu Rongrong and sighed, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where have you been, I'm waiting for you
All the flowers I waited for have faded."
Xu Rongrong touched her head and patted her like a child, "Yilin is good, my sister-in-law didn't go anywhere."
Zhan Yilin directly drew a black line. She immediately let go of Xu Rongrong, took two steps back, threw herself into Chen Haoran's arms, and then looked at Xu Rongrong with a wary look on her face, "My sister-in-law is crazy, she treats me like a child."
"Pfft." Everyone next to him laughed.
At this time, Zhan Yilin suddenly noticed Ah Nuan. She couldn't help but look at Xu Rongrong curiously, "Sister-in-law, who is this child?"
"Huh? Her name is A-Nuan, she is a little girl I met." Xu Rongrong smiled and held A-Nuan with one hand. Who knew that this little girl was so shy that she hid behind her.
"A Nuan? Where did you kidnap the little girl? Is she just like Bai Yi? She is planning to kidnap her as a daughter." Zhan Yilin is a smart person. Looking at the way the little girl looked at Xu Rongrong, she clearly wanted her.
