The family had dinner and then took a walk in the small garden.
When the chirping of "Ah Cheng Ah Cheng" was heard outside the courtyard wall, Ye Wan raised his eyes and saw a few little kids clinging to the wall.
They are all children of the Qin family.
There were relatively many of them, and some of the children seemed to have not expected to see Ye Wan here. After being stunned for a short while, they all looked at her with shining eyes.
"Sister Wan, next time we go to the horse farm, can you take me horseback riding?"
"Sister Wan, can I touch your chariot?"
"Sister Wan..."
A group of children, big and small, were talking at the same time.
When he looked down again, he saw that Lu Cheng had run away. When he came back, he held a slingshot in one hand and Ultraman in the other.
"Okay, I'll take you guys to play when I have time."
Ye Wan agreed, and a group of children waved and climbed down the ladder, flying away like happy little birds.
There are courtyard houses all around, and all of them are families that have been friends for nearly a hundred years.
There are servants at home.
Outside is a spacious alley.
If you are thirsty or hungry, you can get food and drink by just knocking on any door.
Eating, drinking, playing and growing up together, Ye Wan looked back at Lu Changchuan beside him and couldn't help laughing: "I seem to see you, Mr. Qin, Mr. Gu and others when they were little."
Lu Changchuan raised his eyebrows and took Ye Wan's arm and walked out the back door.
From a distance, you can still hear the laughter of children running around in the alley, playing the same games they played when they were children.
The memory seemed to be pulled back to that time in an instant, and Lu Changchuan's eyes were filled with reminiscence, "When I was a child, I was not very sociable..."
With these words, Ye Wan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Then I heard Lu Changchuan continue: "I always feel that the things they play are too childish!"
Facing Ye Wan's smiling eyes, Lu Changchuan touched his nose, as if a little embarrassed, "I was mostly with my fourth uncle when I was a child."
In Lu Changchuan's eyes, his fourth uncle is like his encyclopedia.
Although I later found out that a lot of the things were just made up by him, in the eyes of that little kid at the time, being able to make things sound real was a real skill.
"My fourth uncle told me that if I have any questions, I should ask less questions, watch more, listen more, and find ways to verify them."
"My fourth uncle also taught me how to box and use a gun... My first time drinking, my first time fighting, my first time going to a bar, it was all with my fourth uncle."
As if recalling those warm and bright moments in his childhood, Lu Changchuan's eyes were gentle, "In my heart, Fourth Uncle is a very complicated person."
Although he was only a few years older than him, Lu Changchuan often felt that his fourth uncle was his father, brother, and teacher.
And...he died before him.
Just by looking at Lu Changchuan's expression, one could tell that he was thinking about Lu Yansheng's death. Ye Wan reached out and held his hand.
Ye Wan didn't want to say that Fourth Uncle was dead, but he would always live in our hearts.
I don’t want to say that the past is over and I shouldn’t think about it anymore.
Once dead, you are dead.
What you can’t get over, you’ll never get over!
Lu Yansheng to Lu Changchuan is like parents to Ye Wan, and that cannot be erased by the passage of time.
Unless the truth is revealed, those who have bared their fangs and stretched out their evil hands in secret will be punished.
Otherwise, neither he nor she will get along.
"Lu Changchuan..."
Walking to the alley entrance and turning back, Ye Wan said softly, "Tell me about your parents?"
Lu Changchuan paused, "Wanwan, did you...find out something?"
