"Don't worry, it will take a long time for your daughter to grow up and be kidnapped by the little yellow-haired boy..."
Ye Mo took a sip of wine and said.
"Ah, it's certainly a long time, but didn't more than 20 years pass in the blink of an eye?"
Ye Ming poured himself another glass of wine and said later.
"When I was little, I always wanted to grow up quickly. But now I've grown up in the blink of an eye. It feels like the time I said I wanted to grow up quickly was just yesterday..."
Ye Mo was stunned when he heard this.
He drank several glasses of wine in silence.
"Time is something that's very difficult to hold onto. We can't do anything about it, as it flows constantly. Compared to the birth time of the entire universe, our human lifespan of a hundred years at most is truly too short..."
Ye Ming poured Ye Mo another glass of wine.
"But to the entire universe, our lives are but a fleeting moment. However, we must also leave our mark on this world. There's a saying that goes, 'Some people die, but they're still alive; some people live, but they're already dead.'"
"We should live in the present and live the way we want to live, instead of sitting here drinking and talking about the ruthlessness of time, right?"
"You kid..."
Ye Mo punched Ye Ming.
"How come this punch didn't hurt at all? Dad, it seems you're getting old too..."
Ye Ming said with a grin.
"Yeah, I'm old..."
Ye Mo retracted his fist and sat back, drinking a glass of wine.
"Ha... I'm starting to feel powerless over many things. My body is starting to decline. All I can do is go fishing and reminisce about the past..."
Ye Ming smiled.
"This is quite normal. Human growth is divided into three stages. First, we are very young and our understanding of the world is very simple. Then, as we grow older, we have to think about various things and come to the best conclusion. Finally, in old age, we can only enjoy the good old days and reminisce about the past in a quiet corner..."
Aren’t these the three stages of life?
Finally, after the three stages are over, people will return to nothingness.
"Okay, hurry up and eat. I'll take you to the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow morning. I happen to have backups of herbs for other seasons, but I haven't prepared the autumn ones yet..."
Ye Ming nodded.
"Eat, eat..."
…
Time came to evening.
"Ah... As expected, this is exactly what happened..."
Ye Ming leaned on the sofa, speechless.
"You can at least lie on the sofa, but I was forced to lie on this recliner directly..."
Ye Mo spread a quilt on a recliner and lay down on it.
"This recliner feels a bit uncomfortable..."
Ye Mo frowned and moved his body on the recliner.
"How about we switch?"
Lying on the sofa where he couldn't stretch his legs because the sofa was not long enough, Ye Ming looked dimly at his father's recliner.
"I bought this lounge chair back then, didn't I? I bought it thinking I'd use it to lie down and get some sun, but you ended up using it to go fishing."
"That's true. I've been using it for fishing for almost a year, and now I'm suddenly using it as a bed. Something feels really wrong..."
Ye Mo stretched his body and said.
"Then how about we switch?"
“No…”
Ye Mo decisively refused.
"Braise!"
…
"Let me see, it seems I've collected almost all the herbs. Once I dry them and grind them into powder, I can start making wine..."
Ye Ming looked at the medicinal herbs in the bamboo basket on his back.
"It took a whole day, and I finally collected enough herbs..."
"Haha, this is the result of the two of us working together. Back then, in order to brew wine for you, I stayed in the mountains for more than three days to find all the herbs for you."
Ye Mo leaned against the tree trunk next to him, took out his kettle and drank some water.
"Now you know that medicinal wine is not difficult to make, right?"
"I see. No wonder you whipped me like a bear with seven wolves when I accidentally mixed sand into the powder..."
"Just be thankful..."
Ye Mo patted Ye Ming's shoulder.
"If I hadn't considered you as my own son, and if I hadn't left some medicine, I would have physically liberated you by then."
“Ahem…”
Ye Ming nodded and looked at the sun which was beginning to set over the mountain in the distance.
"Okay, let's go down the mountain. It's getting dark soon. We don't want to spend the night on the mountain..."
"Don't worry, don't forget there's an inn on the mountain. If all else fails, we can just rest for the night in the inn. We used to go up the mountain to collect herbs together, and we always stayed there when we needed a place to stay. I've already told your mother in advance."
Ye Mo pointed to a small house with lights on not far away and said.
"Tell me the truth, do you want to spend the night on the mountain? We provide dinner and accommodation here, but of course it costs money."
Ye Ming's eyes lit up and he nodded when he heard that.
"Okay, let's go quickly. We won't go home today..."
"well……"
Looking at Ye Ming who was already running towards the post station, Ye Mo shook his head, called home to explain the current situation, and then followed him.
"You kid forgot to call home, otherwise they would think we disappeared in the mountains..."
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot. By the way, Dad, it's still Grandpa Hu who's guarding the post station, right?"
