Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiao Lin inherited her father¡¯s cooking skills, and she and Zhang Ruochen continued to run the inn.

    Zhang Ruochen has more work to do!

    Boiling water, welcoming guests, serving dishes, washing dishes, wiping tablesetc., many things fell on his head.

    When there were few guests, Xiao Lin would still habitually stand under the big locust tree every evening and look at the sunset.  I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m waiting for someone, or if I just want to see the beautiful clouds.

    Finally, on a bright red evening, the bad news came back to the town.

    Disciples from the sect of the young man named Yun came to the town and sent back the relics.

    Xiao Lin asked around and finally found out that his former lover died on the starry sky battlefield.

    After his death, no bones were left behind, so he was said to have been eaten by some monster!

    Xiao Lin didn't know what the Starry Sky Battlefield was, but there was a strange brilliance in his eyes, and he said: "Old man, you said that Brother Yun worked hard to practice and didn't come to pick me up. Is it because he went to the battlefield? What he has to do is more important.  Something about?"

    Zhang Ruochen wanted to say, silly girl, you are deceiving yourself.

    If he still has you in his heart, he will keep his promise and come back to pick you up even though he is thousands of miles away.

    But, I thought of myself.

    Why am I not another young man named Yun?

    Is there a silly girl like Xiao Lin somewhere in the starry sky, waiting for him every day?

    Zhang Ruochen was sitting on a chair at the door of the inn, preparing the ingredients for tomorrow. He used pebbles to grind brown rice and said, "I heard that once you step into the world of cultivation, you can't help yourself. He must be a great master."  Heroes, doing really great things.¡±

    This year, Xiao Lin is forty-two years old.

    However, when he heard Zhang Ruochen's words, he smiled as brightly as he did when he was sixteen years old.

    It was the first time in so many years that she showed such a smile.

    When I laughed at the end, I started crying.

    I cried all night.

    Maybe she also knows that Zhang Ruochen lied to her.

    After that, she never waited under the big locust tree again, and began to take care of the inn seriously.

    It was also this year that she finally got married, to a butcher in the town.

    The butcher¡¯s surname was Liu. He was in his fifties and had a wife. However, she contracted a cold and died last winter.  The butcher was very kind to Xiao Lin. He personally delivered the meat to the inn every time, and would also give an extra pound or two and a few more bones.

    A woman, an old man, running an inn is easily bullied.

    The family needs a man like this.

    However, men all over the world are the same. They often look different before marriage and after marriage.

    The butcher was addicted to alcohol, and every time he got drunk, he would beat and scold Xiao Lin.

    Zhang Ruochen didn't care about this matter. He just wanted to be a bystander in this world, a dying old man.  Besides, everyone has to be responsible for the choices they make, right?

    But, after all, he was a sentimental person. Seeing that the little boy was crying in tears on his deathbed and getting older day by day, he still went over and asked, "Is this butcher in trouble? Do you need help?"

    Xiao Lin shook his head and touched his slightly bulging belly.

    After that, Zhang Ruochen stopped asking!

    But I don¡¯t know when it started, but Xiao Lin got used to it. He came to the big locust tree every day and stared at the sunset in a daze.  Perhaps the sunset contained the best memories of her life.

    The day the child was born, the butcher was overjoyed because it was a boy.

    He picked up the butcher knife and went to the backyard to kill the old scalper.

    First, replenish Xiao Lin¡¯s body.

    Second, the old scalper has lived too long, and people in the town are spreading rumors that he is about to become a sperm!

    However, the butcher failed to kill the old scalper. Instead, he was knocked to the ground by the old scalper and trampled to death by its hoof.

    The cheerful and high-pitched cries of two big white geese rang out next to them. Their eyes were very proud, and they were circling the corpse, as if to say, you loser, you can't even fight a cow, why do you have the nerve to call a butcher?

    Xiao Lin saw this scene from the window on the second floor, but he was neither sad nor happy, but extremely indifferent.

    But later, she followed Zhang Ruochen and buried the butcher next to Lao Mu.  Old Mu's grave was already overgrown with weeds.

    The weather is getting colder every year.

    Because the sun in the sky has changed from two to one.

    In fact, after learning that the boy named Yun died on the Starry Sky Battlefield, Zhang Ruochen realized that he had not escaped from this world at all, but might have been far away from the battlefield.Zhang Ruochen did not become worried about gains and losses because of this momentary throbbing, and remained calm.  The only thing that worried him was the circular fluctuation that spread just now.

    How far will it spread?

    I hope that there are no gods in this star field and that the fluctuations just now are not felt.

    After Xiao Lin was buried, Zhang Ruochen's life returned to peace again, but he had to take care of Shi Shi, teach him to read, cook, wash clothes, etc.

    It wasn¡¯t until Shitou was seventeen years old that he finally plucked up the courage and said to Zhang Ruochen, ¡°I want to leave this town.¡±

    "where are you going?"

    "I want to go to the outside world, I want to make a living. I can't even find twenty living people in this town now. It's too desolate and remote. No one comes to this inn at all. Stay here.  My life is ruined and I will never have any future." Shitou's eyes were full of passion and he had endless fighting spirit.

    This is the look only a teenager has!

    "Okay, I support you."

    Zhang Ruochen packed Shitou's luggage, sent him away under the bright sunset, and watched him climb over the last mountain.

    Since then, Zhang Ruochen has never seen him again.

    ??Everyone has to make his or her own choice.

    ?Everyone¡¯s path needs to be walked by themselves.

    Back at the inn, Zhang Ruochen stood under the big locust tree for a long time. In his mind, he thought of Lao Mu playing clappers and singing here, of Xiao Lin and the boy named Yun making vows here, and of every traveler who came to stay at the inn.

    He turned around and finally saw two vague names on the wall of the inn.

    "Mu Xiaolin, Yunfan."

    After so many years, Zhang Ruochen realized that the boy named Yun actually had this name.

    His old fingers gently touched the wall, he smiled and shook his head, and then walked into the inn.

    In the lobby of the inn, a drunkard was lying there.

    Zhang Ruochen was not surprised, so he ignored it and went to the backyard to feed the geese.

    This drunkard is a foreigner.

    It was the year Xiao Lin died and he came to the small town.

    For seven years, he has been coming to the inn to drink every day, and he is already the only guest in the inn.  Although he was dressed in rags and looked very downcast, he was not stingy at all when paying for the drinks.

    Zhang Ruochen once suspected that he was a god attracted by the fluctuations of the year.

    However, after many trials and mental exploration, it was discovered that he was indeed a mortal.  With Zhang Ruochen's current mental strength, coupled with the direct physical contact and detection, in this case, if he could still hide it, it would be enough unless people like Qingzu and Taishang were in person.

    "Old guy, do you still have wine here? Why don't you roast your two geese too? They've grown so fat, oh, ba ba I'll pay you a lot for the meat"

    The drunkard who should have been drunk at the table came to the backyard at some point and appeared behind Zhang Ruochen, staring at the two big white geese, laughing loudly and licking his lips.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
