Chapter 436 Sorry 1

We caught up with Feixue and others halfway through, and then we rushed towards Shangling without stopping. Time was no longer waiting for us. On the way back, the intelligence website of the Chamber of Commerce passed us messages, saying that the old man was critically ill and asked us to hurry back.

On the way back, I also told Feixue and other women what I thought. If the old man had nothing to do and could escape safely when he went back, we would stay in Shangling and serve him. What if... after dealing with the old man's funeral, we would find an opportunity to leave Shangling, and at the same time we did not plan to go back.

Feixue and others had no objection to this, but they were just a little worried, mainly because they were worried about their parents. I could understand this, and explained that we did not leave because we did not see anyone, but just that I did not want to interfere in some things in the world. Feixue was willing to go back to see his parents at any time.

After hearing what I said, Feixue and the others felt at ease and agreed to my suggestion. After all, they also yearn for such days.

Since everyone has unified their minds, the matter has been settled. As for where to go to live in seclusion, it is not too late to think about it later.

After more than ten days and nights, we finally rushed back to Shangling on the tenth night. As soon as we arrived at Shangling, someone was waiting and then rushed to home while the night was dark.

Because of the tight time and I was in the car, I naturally didn’t have time to pay attention to the changes in Shangling now. However, listening to the noisy sound outside the car, I also knew that Shangling this night must be very lively.

When the carriage arrived at Deng's mansion, it was not the main entrance, but the side entrance. When I arrived at me, I realized that the local people who had visited the old man had been full of bets. And if I left Shangling for nearly eight years and appeared in front of everyone again, it would cause a greater sensation, so what I mean now is that I should not reveal my whereabouts for the time being.

It doesn’t matter to me whether I walk through the main door or the side door. This is originally my own home, so it is so clear.

After entering the door and passing through the yard, I came to the hall. Now in the hall, there have been many people gathered, including the second uncle, the third uncle, Li Rugang, Chen Nanshan, Deng Jian, Deng Chao, my sister Murong Sanniang, etc., and are all waiting in the hall now.

When the servants reported that the head of the family returned, everyone looked at me, and I also looked at them. The longest of them, I have not met them for seven years, and the shortest one is three or four years. After all, there is a long distance from the city of Paradise to Shangling. In today's world where there is no fast means of transportation, it is not so easy to get around.

I haven't seen each other for seven years, and the years have carved traces of vicissitudes on their faces. The younger ones have become mature, and the older ones have become even older.

After meeting, I didn't have time to say anything else, so I hurriedly asked, "Where is my father!"

Deng Jianze hurriedly said, "In the room, he repeatedly told us to go see him if you come back! Brother, you should go quickly. Uncle has been holding on for more than a month to wait for you to come back, and it is almost impossible!"

I couldn't help but feel nervous, and I didn't have time to say polite words to them, so I rushed to the old man's bedroom with Feixue and others.

After arriving, I found that there were many people around the bedroom door. In addition to some maids and servants, there were Erniang and Sanniang, but they did not see their mother. Seeing my arrival, Sanniang was happy and hurriedly led her up, saying hurriedly: "Get in quickly. The master has been talking about it several times today, and he has been asking if you are back?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but wiped his eyes.

"Where is the mother?"

I asked quickly.

"Sister is too sad. She just fainted. Now she has asked someone to take care of her. You don't have to worry, I'll take care of her!"

I nodded and gently pushed open the door. Although the second mother next to me still had no good expression on me, it has been a matter of many years and I don’t care so much.

Feixue and others followed me only behind me. A few little guys followed Feixue and others. They were usually very naughty and seemed particularly quiet at this time.

Candles were lit in the room, and the orange lights made the whole room look not very bright, but you could see everything inside clearly.

Two women were sitting next to the old man's bed, taking care of him carefully. One of them I knew was Deng Jian's wife, and the other I didn't know him. Judging from her behavior, she was born to everyone. The old man on the bed was closed with his eyes tightly and his face was pale like a piece of paper.

Seeing me come in, the two girls just stood up and were about to salute. I quickly waved my hand and asked softly, "How is my father?"

"Is Long'er back?"

The old man who was supposed to be sleeping opened his eyes and asked in a low voice. Then he stretched out his hand from the quilt, but his head did not turn.

I quickly went up and grabbed his hand, and sadness surged in my heart. The eyes couldn't help but feel sour, and tears couldn't help it. After wiping my eyes with my hands, I held his hand with both hands. The old man's hand was so thin that he had no flesh. When he touched his hand, it was full of bones, and his hands were very cold and had no temperature.

"Father, my unfilial son is back, and you have a few daughters-in-law, and grandson and granddaughter!"

I quickly whispered, and sat by the bed.

When the old man heard that his daughter-in-law and grandson were back, his originally cloudy gaze had a little more energy, and he quickly said, "Hurry up... help me up!"

The two girls standing next to him immediately helped the old man to lay a pillow and let him lean against the head of the bed.

After leaning on it, he turned his head hard, looked at Feixue and the others, and said weakly: "Where are the children?"

Feixue immediately bent down and said to the little guys beside him, "Hurry up, call grandpa!"

A few little guys immediately stepped forward a few steps, surrounded the old man and the bedside, and said crisply: "Grandpa!"

The old man sent my hands away, touching their heads one by one, his eyes full of love.

"This is Deng Xiangling..."

"This Deng Xiangyu,...!"

I whispered to the side.

The little guys also seemed very well-behaved at this time, and did not hide from the old man's touching and mu. Deng Xiangling even said in his own tender voice: "Grandpa, why are you lying down? Get up and play with us?"

The old man showed a loving smile on his face, touched his head, and said, "Grandpa is old, I can't move anymore, I can't play with you anymore!"

Obviously, he didn't understand the issue of getting old, so he tilted his head and looked at me.

I endured the pain in my heart and smiled reluctantly, "Grandpa is not feeling well. I will play with you when my grandpa is well!"

The little guy nodded, turned his head to look at the old man, and said, "Grandpa, you have to keep your word. My father told me that a man must keep his word!

"Okay... Grandpa promised you!"

The old man's voice seemed very low, and the smile on his face was a little unnatural, and two lines of flowing water began to flow out from his eyes.

"Be good!... Let your mother get rid of the second and third grandpa for you!"

I choked and said to the little guys, then gave Feixue and the others a wink. Feixue and the girls nodded knowingly and said to the little guy: "Let's go, get rid of it quickly. Your father has something to say to grandpa!"

The little guy looked at us strangely, then nodded and said to the old man: "Grandpa, we'll go out first. You have to have a good rest and play with us tomorrow!"

The old man nodded with all his strength and choked and said, "Okay... OK! Grandpa will beg you to Youjing Lake tomorrow!" A satisfied smile appeared on his face. He was already very sick, and he just wanted to take it hard just to meet us. This was also his spiritual motivation. If it weren't for this support, he would have left long ago. Now his son whom he cared about has returned, and his grandson he had always been worried about has also returned. He felt that his wish had been fulfilled.

After hearing the old man's words, the three little guys immediately smiled, and when they left, they did not forget to turn around and bow, "Grandpa, goodbye!"

Then he followed Feixue outside. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look back and look at me deeply, with concern in his eyes.

I nodded and signaled that she didn't have to worry too much, that I would have it all.

The old man looked at the little guys, with deep pity in his eyes. As an old man, I hope that his grandson and granddaughter will be with him. However, I am far away in the city of heaven and have never been home for a few years. Deng Chao had just gotten married and had no children. Although the Deng family has a high status in Shangling, as an old man, he did not enjoy the family happiness of ordinary elderly people. When he saw his grandson, his health was no longer good.

He knew his own body, he knew that he had not had much time, and he thought he could not see his grandson and granddaughter, but now he finally saw it, and his wish in his heart was achieved.

I naturally understand the old man's mood, so I kept holding the old man when the little guys left. I could clearly feel the coldness in the old man's hands, and I felt the guilt in my heart. I really hope that time can go backwards, not to go to Beijing, not to be the city lord of a paradise city, be a son, and be filial to the old man. Even if the old man leaves one day, he can walk more at ease and there will be no regrets, but I can't do that, and time can't go backwards.
