Without even returning home, the Ford car sped out of Kyoto.
After setting off at around three o'clock in the afternoon, at four ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Ye Qianshan stopped the car and turned off the engine and appeared at the entrance of Taoshan Village.
Looking at the silent village shrouded in darkness, he yawned and said with dry lips: "Let's wait until dawn before entering the village. I asked Tong Yuan. Uncle Mingkang went back to the village before us. He came back yesterday."
"He's sleeping soundly now. There's no need to disturb his dream."
Ruoshui took out the mineral water from the trunk, handed one bottle to Ye Qianshan and said, "There are some things I don't know whether to say or not."
"If I tell you, I guess you will be unhappy and angry with me."
"But if I don't say it, I'll feel really uncomfortable holding it in my heart, and it will make me panic..."
Ye Qianshan unscrewed the bottle cap, leaned against the front of the car, stretched his arms and said, "Then don't talk about it."
Ruoshui said "Oh" in a depressed voice, but stopped talking.
Ye Qianshan raised his head and took a sip of saliva, his Adam's apple rolled, and his expression was unpredictable.
There was silence between the two of them, and the atmosphere was strange.
I only heard a few dogs barking from time to time in the village, and the sound of toads in the ditch was endless.
"I know exactly what you are going to say."
For a long time, Ye Qianshan, whose eyes were wandering, took the initiative to break the calmness, and said through a secret voice: "Xixi is my sister, my biological sister."
"I am willing to take risks for her, and I will not regret it even if I die."
"What should be said and what should not be said has already arrived in Taoshan Village, so why should we retreat?"
"Be careful, walls have ears. After all, we are only mortals."
Ruoshui bit his lip and nodded solemnly.
Ye Qianshan said considerately: "Go and take a nap. I'll call you at dawn."
Ruoshui smiled, took out a wet tissue from the car, wiped his hands and said, "It's too noisy, I can't sleep."
"Well, you're right. If Suning and Xixi can't come back, you, as the uncle, have the obligation to go back to the village for them."
"To avoid it, the villagers will laugh at Xixi's family and it will also bring shame on the Ye family."
Ye Qianshan said loudly: "No, we are the only two brothers and sisters left in Ye Gang's lineage."
"You can laugh at me, but you can never laugh at my sister."
"My mother said..."
The more Ye Qianshan chatted, the more excited he became, and the more he chatted, the more emotional he became.
From trivial things to how Lingxi became the youngest Heavenly Spirit Master in China, to how he practiced the Hundred Ghost Night Movement and endured his anger.
His mouth is as flowing as a river, and his eyebrows are dancing with joy.
It was not until dawn that some villagers were carrying hoes and preparing to go to the fields for farming. Ye Qianshan woke up from the past and hurriedly restarted his vehicle and entered the village.
"Uncle Mingkang."
When he arrived at the Su family courtyard, he parked the car in an open space not far away, got out of the car with a smile on his face and said hello.
"you......"
A dazed Su Mingkang was squatting by the well washing his face. When he saw two strangers coming in, he rubbed his eye sockets in disbelief and said, "You..."
"Are you Qianshan?"
"Hey, weak girl, are you here too?"
I was so surprised and happy that I almost kicked over the washbasin.
He hurriedly ran into the main room and rummaged for cigarettes.
Ye Qianshan shouted: "Uncle Mingkang, you are an elder, how can I let you smoke?"
"I have it here, whip mine."
Su Mingkang ran out laughing and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I have a bad memory. I don't know where I threw the smoke I smoked last night."
"Let's go, sit in the room, I'll boil water for you to make tea."
