Chapter 110 The second letter from home
Chapter 110 The second letter from home
Sheng Yu'an looked worriedly at Nanchun, who was squatting in the yard and absent-mindedly teasing Yuzhu.
"He's just a young boy in his teens or twenties, he's never been out of the house, he hasn't experienced anything, and he's just beginning to fall in love. How can he think so deeply and far? Don't push him too hard." Manager Cheng said as he stood aside with his arms folded.
"But time waits for no one. The Jin family's caravan is about to reach Yangcheng. The Bai family has become suspicious of him and knows that he escaped halfway. It won't be long before they find out where he is. If he doesn't make a choice quickly, it will be difficult for me later." Sheng Yu'an sighed.
"Master Nan hasn't replied yet?"
"How could it be so fast? It's hard to say whether Li Minghe has seen anyone at this moment. You know Old Man Nan well. He would not come out of the tomb unless he found a breakthrough.
"I've got news from Qin Chuan that the second young master, Bai, has returned to Yangcheng. If he keeps up the pace, he'll probably be here in the next two days." Sheng Yu'an took a puff of his cigarette.
"Second Young Master Bai, did you hear that Nanchun is going to Yangcheng?"
"That should be it. I'm really not sure what he's thinking. To be honest, if I have the chance, I really want to meet this Second Young Master Bai and have a fight with him."
"You're already a capable father, why are you competing with a child?"
"A kid who we might not be able to beat, even if we put ourselves together?" Sheng Yu'an raised an eyebrow. "He left us behind before we even left Xinchuan Ridge. He's been running around in the mountains for years and couldn't catch up with the first timer. I'm afraid people will laugh at me if I tell them!"
As he was speaking, seeing Nanchun looking over, Sheng Yuan smiled and called out, "Nanchun, I'll take you somewhere later."
"Where are you going?" Nanchun didn't say anything, and Manager Cheng asked.
"Go see Zhongliang, Yunjin, and our lovely Zhongxin." Sheng Yu'an whispered in Manager Cheng's ear.
Not far away, the rolling Jinlong Mountain resembles a sleeping dragon. Ancient trees tower over the mountain, their yellowed branches and leaves dancing in the breeze.
Seeing Nanchun's expression soften and calm down, Sheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Legend has it that Jincheng was formerly known as Jinlong. Because it violated the taboos of the Supreme Being, it was renamed Jincheng. Legend has it that a divine dragon once survived a tribulation here. After successfully surviving the tribulation, the dragon, grateful for the protection of the mountains and rivers here, injected spiritual energy into this mountain range.
The elders say there's a dragon spirit here, which can lift one's spirits. When I'm feeling down, I'll come here for a stroll. This is one of the reasons I often stay here, rather than in Yangcheng. Another reason is that my third brother loved this place when he was alive.
Sheng Yu'an said this, raising his hand and pointing forward.
Nanchun followed the direction he pointed and saw three tombs, two large ones and one small one.
The terrain around the cemetery is in an encircling shape, with a clear stream flowing in front of it. It is a rare Feng Shui treasure land.
"Third brother, I'm your dear brother again. I come too often, so don't think I'm annoying. I know you won't be annoyed. After all, no one likes me more than you."
As Sheng Yu'an spoke, he placed the flowers in front of one of the tombstones, opened the wine jug, scattered some of the wine in front of the tomb, and drank the rest in one gulp.
Then he took out a small bamboo ball from his pocket and placed it in front of the small tomb.
This kind of spherical jade beads also exist, but they are much larger.
Nanchun looked at the names on the tombstone: Sheng Yuning, Song Xue and the kitten Yuxin.
"Song Xue..."
"Well, she is Yunjin in the book."
Nanchun's heart trembled slightly. It turned out that Yunjin... was gone too.
"This is the cenotaph of my third brother. He and Yuzhu are buried in Xinchuan Ridge. I wanted to find them and bring them back. But Lao Shi said that my third brother left a message saying that he wanted to stay there until the day when those treasures are safe and sound."
"But isn't Yuzhu in the teahouse?" Nanchun looked at him in confusion.
"The Yuzhu in the teahouse isn't my third brother's. Neither he nor his Yuzhu made it out of Xinchuanling. The one in the teahouse is said to be Yuzhu's nephew. Lao Shi says it should be, because they look a bit like him. Lao Shi and I brought it back when we went to Luncang Mountain a few years ago. I named it Yuzhu, too."
"I see... So Zhongyong couldn't come back either."
Seeing his sad face, Sheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Nanchun, you haven't read the 100th letter home, have you?"
Nanchun shook his head and said doubtfully, "That book only has ninety-nine family letters, and the last page is blank. I thought it wasn't printed properly and was missed, so I wanted to ask Boss Zhen about it."
"Here is the 100th letter from home." Sheng Yu'an took out an old, yellowed envelope from his arms.
The envelope was written "To Yuning".
"I don't know what it's like between lovers in your eyes. But you can learn some stories about Zhongliang and Yunjin." Sheng Yu'an said as he handed him the letter.
Nanchun opened the envelope nervously. The handwriting on the yellowed letter paper was elegant and beautiful.
The 100th letter home was Yunjin's reply to Zhongliang.
Yuning, you let me see such a magnificent world.
My heart is filled with joy.
Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and the low-hanging starry sky.
After living in Yangcheng for so long, I almost forgot these breathtakingly beautiful scenery.
My father said that when the wind blows, it is the Snow Mountain Goddess singing a song of blessing.
You close your eyes, stand on a high place, and listen quietly.
She will keep you safe.
It was snowing in Yangcheng, and I also wanted to listen to the sound of the wind. As soon as I arrived in the yard, Wen's mother scolded me with a stern face.
She was still as worried and nagging as ever. I made a face at her and she started laughing.
This trick never works.
Yuxin probably won't like such a huge creature, even though you gave it a very cute name, Yuzhu.
You know, Yuxin has a nickname called Goujianchou.
Whenever the dogs in this area see it, they hide.
Poor little Yuzhu will probably cry all day long and ask you to judge the matter.
Minghe said that you stood at the fork in the road and hesitated for a long time.
Why hesitate?
You know, I also hope you can go and see the scene for me.
I saw the things that Minghe brought back.
How beautiful!
I suddenly understood what my father said.
When you look at it, reach out and touch it.
It's as if a thousand years have flown through your fingertips, bringing tears to your eyes. They belong here, to this place where we have lived for generations.
Yuning, follow your heart and move forward.
Let’s move forward together with my hope.
This year's winter seems to be particularly long.
My sister wrote to me saying that she had planted many flowers in her garden.
When spring comes and flowers bloom, let’s go to see my sister together to appreciate the flowers.
I miss you very much, hope all is well.
After reading the letter, Nanchun felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Yunjin was completely different from what he had imagined.
She is lively, cute, funny and free and easy.
