Chapter 1039: In a Flash!
Spring has not yet arrived, and it is still at the end of winter. It is still very cold in the north, and the cold wind blows on the face like a knife.
In front of the tomb, a bouquet of pure white flowers swayed in the wind, and the petals were blown off one by one. The names of two old people were engraved on the stele. Three years had passed, and Xiao Jue was powerless against the sky.
He knelt down silently, his lips trembling, his hoarse words were in the north wind, he couldn't hear clearly, he couldn't distinguish clearly, he couldn't shed tears, he could only whisper.
Xu Qiong walked aside, leaving him alone time, and asked the cemetery manager who came here to put down the white flowers just now.
Unfortunately, there was no result. There were quite a few people coming and going here every day, and no one would pay special attention to who it was.
Xiao Jue knelt and sat in front of the tombstone, wanting to be here forever, never to get up again, lost his purpose in life, his heart was empty, his world was leaden gray.
"Dad, this is a kind of divine wine that I brought back from Douluo. It is difficult for all the gods to drink. It is a pot of essence extracted from a thousand-year-old wine cellar."
Xiao Jue will open a suet jade gourd, pour out the wine, and the refreshing aroma will fill the cemetery.
Surprised, Xu Qiong turned around and looked back, just in time to see this scene. The aroma of the wine was so strong that even a person like her who does not drink baijiu was moved by the aroma.
When the cemetery guard saw it, he came quickly and told him that he had violated the rules, and asked him to put away the wine bottle, and he needed to be fined.
Xu Qiong stepped forward, took out a wad of money, and handed it over, not letting him get close, for fear of causing any trouble, she knew very well that the present Xiao Jue cannot be measured by "ordinary people".
"Mom, these are some trinkets I brought you back from Douluo." Some strange ornaments appeared in Xiao Jue's hands, including strings of long bright pearls washed and buffed away, and carved relics of the sky demon. The talismans made... are things that can prolong life.
Each piece is crystal clear, radiant, overflowing with energy, even ordinary people can see that it is extraordinary, it can make the pores of the whole body relax, like a spring breeze.
"chi"
Flames shot up from Xiao Jue's hands, igniting these things and the thousand-year-old wine, turning them into a brilliant light, turning into ashes, and falling in front of the tomb.
The person guarding the cemetery became anxious, saying that he had seriously violated the regulations, and that no burning was allowed in this place. After seeing the flames jumping out of Xiao Jue's palm, his eyes were a little straightened.
"I said... What kind of thing are you burning? Why is it brighter than a magic lamp? Strips of light burst out, like a baby. Oh, what kind of wine is this? It's so fragrant that I can't bear it. I really want to take a sip, but I will get drunk just by smelling it."
As soon as he approached, he fell to the ground with a "plop", and passed out from drunk. Xu Qiong backed away in shock, afraid of being drunk by the wine. She has experienced a lot, and has already discovered that the things in Xiao Jue's hands are not ordinary, and cannot be judged by common sense.
Not to mention those radiant beads, even the wine gourd is a flawless suet jade, if it is put up for auction, it will definitely cause a sensation and fetch a sky-high price.
When the guardian of the cemetery woke up again, he found that there was darkness in front of him and a pile of burnt things, and he immediately jumped up, out of breath.
"Hey, let me tell you what's going on with you, you...you burned a truckload of things, how do you clean it up!" His eyes were straightened, such a pile, not to mention burning, it would be very troublesome to transport it.
Xu Qiong hurried forward and handed over a thick wad of money again. No matter when, this situation has not changed. The money is in place, and even the mill can be turned around to push the ghost.
"In life, there are too many helplessness, we are powerless to resist, sorry. Uncles and aunts will not blame you, as long as you come back safely, it will be the greatest comfort to them, because before they pass away, all they care about is your safety .” Xu Qiong persuaded.
"I know. I want to be alone for a while. You go back first." Xiao Jue said while sitting there with his back to him.
The red sun falls in the west, and the day passes in a flash, and finally the stars are dotted. He sat silently, the guards of the cemetery were hairy, but they didn't dare to take care of him, Xu Qiongsai gave him a lot of money before leaving.
In the morning, the sun was shining and the sun was rising very high, but Xiao Jue was still there, motionless from beginning to end.
He sat for a day and a night, silently reminiscing, from childhood to adulthood, every scene, every bit about his parents came to mind, and it was difficult to get out of his mind.
The happy, the sad, the unforgettable, the unforgettable, the past is like smoke, occupying his heart, and he really wants to sleep here.
At noon, he sighed softly, stood up and left, his back was bleak, and he stepped out of the cemetery.
Although she didn't return for a day and a night, Xu Qiong was not worried about it. She saw that he could soar into the sky with her own eyes. She thought that no one in this world could hurt him, maybe only himself.
Xiao Jue came back, and sat on the sofa quietly listening to Xu Qiong's narration. Every detail of the two old people's old age made him feel sad, but he didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, just listening.
There is light and there is darkness, everyone will have happiness and sorrow, there will be happy memories, and naturally there will be unsatisfactory sides, Xu Qiong waited for him for two years, and then married, as she said, people always have to Life is not.
But life is colorful, and there will be wind and rain. Ten years ago, her life fell to the bottom. The marriage that had lasted for many years came to an end, and she lost everything.
When Xu Qiong went to the suburbs to relax, he accidentally saw his parents. He couldn't believe that it was the two old people from before, so he picked them up.
"Uncle and aunt are good people. They donated the money you left to an orphanage, but their own life is so difficult. They miss you and like children... I think the bouquet of flowers should be sent by the orphanage."
The doorbell rang, and Xu Ye ran out bouncingly, went to open the door, shouting, Dad is back.
"My husband is back. He doesn't have much money. I bought the villa with the money I earned in recent years, but he is very honest. Xu Ye is not his own, but he treats her very well."
When she mentioned her daughter's name, Xu Qiong's voice visibly trembled. Ye and Ye had the same pronunciation.
Once married, Xu Qiong was very cautious in choosing again. This is a university professor who is engaged in archaeological research and is really nice.
Yang Xiao, at first glance, is not the kind of smooth and sophisticated person, he is a bit dull, when he sees a guest at home, he first smiles kindly, and then greets him under Xu Qiong's introduction.
"Dad, why did you come back? You don't know. I saw a shooting star almost hit our house, and it scared my mother." Xu Ye twittered happily like a little magpie.
"I was delayed in Jiangling for many days. A large tomb was discovered there. For some reason, everyone who entered it died, and the archaeological work was terminated. Otherwise, I would have come back even later."
"Ah, really, it's too dangerous, Dad, don't go." Xu Ye was tall, slender and graceful, poured him a cup of tea, and said fearfully.
