"Chen'er, let's go see your grandfather first. After your accident, he always believed that it was because of him that he ruined your life. He was suffering from self-blame. He resigned from everything three years ago and was no longer in court. Growing flowers and weeds all day long. Now that you are back, he can finally..." Thinking of Ye Nu, Ye Wei felt sore in his heart.
Ye Wuchen nodded: "Father, let's go together."
The layout of Ye Nu's small courtyard is relatively simple, but compared to Ye Wuchen's impression, it is obviously much quieter. After entering, there are no people, but the calls of various birds can be heard.
Ye Nu was sitting on a hardwood chair, concentrating on feeding a bird in the cage, he had never heard of Ye Wei and Ye Wuchen approaching. Ye Wei bent down and lowered his voice, "Father."
"What's the matter?" Ye Nu said flatly without raising his head. At this time, he was much older than Ye Wuchen's impression, he hadn't seen him for three years, but he seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden. He couldn't help but feel melancholy about whether he brought more benefits or more harm to the Ye family after he entered the Ye family. For an old man like Ye Nu who has no desires or desires, the greatest harm in the world is not death, but the torment of family affection.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Ye Wuchen, who felt ashamed in his heart, called out in a very soft voice, fearing that the voice would be too loud and disturb the old man.
Ye Nu's whole body trembled, his hands and whole body froze there, he didn't move any more, he called softly, he couldn't believe his ears, he just stayed there, like time suddenly frozen.
Ye Wei felt relieved, but more sour and bitter. In the past three years, how did my father, who was ashamed in the center of great pain and self-blame and regret, get here? Every time he saw it, his heart twitched with pain.
Ye Nu raised his head, and looked at Ye Wuchen with constantly flickering and trembling eyes. At this moment, he couldn't believe his eyes again. This half-life, majestic and powerful General Ye, feared by countless people, respected and admired by countless people, has completely lost his usual coercion and calmness at this moment. He froze for something, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word or sound.
"Father, Chen'er is back! He didn't die! Chen'er, he didn't die! He fell into the Soul Breaking Abyss back then, but he didn't die, but came back alive, and now he is in front of you! Father, Chen'er is not dead! !" Ye Wei yelled loudly in the ear of the demented Ye Nu, reminding his father that everything was not an illusion, and also releasing the infinite comfort and excitement in his heart.
Ye Wuchen also repeated: "Grandpa, I'm back."
Ye Nu was like waking up from a big dream, five souls and six spirits returned to his body again, he stretched out his old hands that had become dry and thin in the past three years, nodded vigorously, and said in a weak voice: "It's good to come back, It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."
He slapped his forehead fiercely, and wiped his eyes vigorously, in order to shake off the old tears overflowing from his eyes, and also to make his vision clearer. What is in front of him is not an illusion, nor is it someone else's disguise. The only sword god ring in his hand and Ningxue beside him are iron proofs. Not a hallucination, but unreal like a hallucination, he murmured: "...you, do you hate grandpa..."
The deep remorse and self-blame have been the pain in his heart for the past three years. If he hadn't agreed and personally persuaded Ye Shuiyao to marry into Dafeng Country, how could all this have happened. This was the worst thing he did in his life, if it wasn't for this, how could Ye Wuchen die in Dafeng Country because of Ye Shuiyao. He always believed that Ye Wuchen's death was a punishment from heaven for abandoning his relatives, and for three whole years, he was suffering from heart-pounding pain. In three years, he seemed to have aged ten years.
"Oh? Why should I hate Grandpa?" Ye Wuchen asked back.
He smiled slightly and said: "I have always lived and worked in Tianlong Kingdom. Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, with ample food and clothing. There were very few beggars, and even robbers and thieves were extremely rare. Under the covetous eyes of the big wind country and the repeated attacks and harassments over the years It is still the same in the future, whose credit is it? It is grandpa. To say something that grandpa may think is rebellious, if there is no grandpa, even the current Tianlong Emperor may not be who. However, he rescued countless people of Tianlong and brought peace to all people. With such integrity, such great achievements, and such prestige, who in the Tianlong Kingdom can match? Throughout the Tianlong Kingdom, there is no one who is ashamed or indebted to grandpa. I If you are proud of having such a grandpa, how can there be any resentment?"
Ye Wuchen sighed, and said seriously: "I know what Grandpa has been in pain these past few years. In fact, Grandpa, you are really wrong. You should not regret it, you shouldn't hate yourself. Back then, your country's safety was at risk. I chose the safety of the country with my relatives, which is admirable. But I am just a person who puts the safety of the country at risk for selfishness. If I hate it, I only hate myself. The impulse to hate myself made my father , Grandpa, there are many people who are heartbroken for me. Only grandpa can hate me, so what right do I have to hate grandpa? I only hope that grandpa can forgive me for making a big mistake, and I will be happy every day in the future, so that the guilt in my heart will be It will be less."
There was a smile on Ye Wei's face, he believed that these words were enough to untie Ye Nu's knot. Sure enough, Ye Nu was stunned for a while, and burst out laughing with tears in his eyes: "As expected of my grandson, he will always be so eloquent that people can't refute it, hahahaha..."
In the past three years, this is the first time Ye Wei has seen Ye Nu laughing so carefreely, and both he and Ye Wuchen showed comfortable smiles on their faces at the same time. With a loud laugh, the old man finally walked out of the shackles of self-blame, the abyss of pain, and everything that tortured him disappeared.
Walking out of Ye Nuyuan, Wang Wenshu had someone cook a table full of Ye Wuchen's favorite dishes as quickly as possible. Seeing them coming out, she hurried up to greet them, and said with concern: "Chen'er, Xue'er, you just came back, you must be hungry, I just prepared a meal for mother, hurry up and eat, and talk to mother by the way."
She really wants to know what Ye Wuchen has experienced in these three years, and Ye Wei behind him also wants to know very much. Indeed, there are many people who have fallen into the Abyss of Broken Soul or tried to enter the Abyss of Broken Soul with a rope. After a lifetime, the height of Duan Hunyuan is even more immeasurable. Gale Nation once specially made a 3,000-meter-long rope to hang stones for testing, but they failed to reach the bottom. With such a terrifying depth, it is really a miracle to be able to survive.
But having said that, are there still few miracles that happened to Ye Wuchen
"It's been a long time since I ate home food, I really miss it... Before that, I want to visit my sister first." After speaking, he turned and looked in the direction of Ye Shuiyao's small courtyard. Now the news of his return is estimated to be known by the entire Tianlong City, and the Ye family is even more excited because of it, but Ye Shuiyao has never appeared, as if he didn't know.
"That's right, go and see Yao'er, she... she will be very happy to see you all these years." Wang Wenshu nodded quickly in response.
"It's fine for me and Xue'er Tongxin to go, can mother cook some dishes for me personally?" Ye Wuchen said with a smile.
How could she refuse this request, she happily agreed. Before Ye Wuchen left, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Where's Ye Wuyun?"
He always called Ye Wuyun by his first name, if he could, he didn't even want to call him by his first name.
"He went shopping in the north of the city in the morning, and he will be back soon. He should also know that you are back by now." Wang Wenshu replied.
"Purchasing?" Ye Wuchen's mouth curled up, and he said in a serious and mocking way: "He even paid for the work done by the servants, you are really diligent."
Wang Wenshu didn't hear the sarcasm in it, and nodded in relief: "Without you these years, the family has been gloomy, and Yun'er is taking care of everything, so busy every day makes people worry whether it will I'm exhausted. Tell him not to worry so much, he always said that it's not safe to leave it to others, this child... "
Ye Wuchen nodded and smiled, and was pushed towards Ye Shuiyao's courtyard by Ningxue and Tongxin. Ye Wei looked at his back, thoughtful. I haven't seen him for three years, Ye Wuchen is already in his twenties, although he is sitting, it can be clearly seen that he has grown a lot taller, although his appearance has not changed much, it can be seen that he is mature. But the feeling he gave Ye Wei was very different. As for what it was, he couldn't understand it for a while, it was just a feeling.
The layout of Ye Shuiyao's small courtyard has not changed at all, and it has not changed for an unknown number of years.
This time, Ye Wuchen went directly to the bedroom. Opening the door, a scent of cool air blows in, but there is no sound in the room. It wasn't until he was pushed into the room and the door was closed that a beautiful figure walked up to him, bent down, hugged his neck, and his full red lips gently touched his face: "Xiaochen, you are finally willing to go home."
"Sister, aren't you afraid of being seen by mother and others?" Ye Wuchen touched the place where he was kissed just now, and said with a half-smile.
Ye Shuiyao likes him calling her elder sister, she believes that they are not real siblings, but every time Ye Wuchen calls her that, she will feel a sense of satisfaction and joy in her heart that breaks through taboos and obstructions.
"Not afraid." Ye Shuiyao smiled lightly. Ye Wuchen once said that she is the most beautiful when she smiles, in front of her beautiful smile, the most beautiful scenery in the world will be eclipsed. So, she got used to showing a smile in front of him that others would never want to see. From the day he came back, she had no reason to be unhappy.
"Then sister will kiss me in front of mother later." Ye Wuchen said with a smile.
Ye Shuiyao's face was reddish, and she slapped him lightly.
