Tomorrow is the time she agreed to meet Situ Ming, and it can't be changed. Who knew the weather would turn out like this? She doesn't know if she can make it back in time.
Huanhai Town is neither far nor near; it took two hours to drive there.
We walked onto a deserted country road. According to the address Hou Taotao gave us, we shouldn't be far.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, we saw the sign for "Phantom Sea Town".
It's quite well hidden.
As summer approaches, the grass grows tall and the birds sing, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, the forests are lush and green, and a gentle breeze carrying a slight dampness blows by, cleansing the soul.
Zhao Xiaoyue was the person she found amidst a sea of fiery red roses.
The closer I got, the more I realized that Master Pu was a handsome, mature man.
He was still wearing a smoky gray long robe, his beard was gone, his hair was neatly combed, and a wisp of hair covered the sharp ends of his eyebrows.
What a big change!
His strong features also exude a scholarly air, wow!
Zhao Xiaoyue looked at the person who was tending the flowerbed while securing the front of his long gown to his waist and called out softly, "Sixth Grandpa!"
Master Pu had actually noticed Zhao Xiaoyue's presence long ago. Upon hearing the shout, he simply glanced up casually.
He then lowered his head and continued his work, which Zhao Xiaoyue was used to.
Back when he lived in the village, Uncle Pu didn't like to talk to people.
Whether in her past life or this one, she remembers being four years old when she passed by Master Pu's door with a White Rabbit candy in her hand, and then Master Pu snatched the candy from her.
I cried for a long time after I got home.
In her past life, she was a child; now she is still a child, only her inner self has changed.
I've been getting soaked in the rain too much, so when I saw Uncle Pu, whom everyone and even dogs despise, I wanted to hold an umbrella for him.
Unexpectedly, and never in a million years, Larry, that slovenly man, was actually a hidden big shot. He had a moment of weakness and sold himself out. He really regretted it!
Zhao Xiaoyue walked carefully on the cobblestone path, afraid of stepping on and breaking any hyacinth.
When she got closer to Uncle Pu, she could see clearly that there was a tomb in the middle of a large circle of hyacinths.
Incense and candles were placed, and the tomb was kept clean and tidy. The tombstone read "Tomb of my beloved wife, Qingqing," with the words "Erected by her husband, Pu Changling!" written in the lower left corner.
The black and white photo on the tombstone shows a gentle woman.
With slightly wavy hair, a closer look reveals that Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes resemble those of the woman in the photograph.
Zhao Xiaoyue walked to the tombstone, took out all kinds of candy from her small handbag, and placed them in front of the tombstone.
Then he knelt down and kowtowed several times with a loud "thump, thump, thump," before standing up and patting his forehead.
She said earnestly, "Master's wife, I am Zhao Xiaoyue. Master said that you like sweet food the most, and these are the sweetest sugars."
The way she called out "Teacher's wife" was incredibly smooth.
As he spoke, he leaned closer to the tombstone and whispered, "He doesn't care about anything now, he only remembers you."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, my master abused child laborers, that is, me, Master's wife. You must tell my master about this when you have time."
Uncle Pu put down his hoe, wiped the mud off his hands, and then left.
He didn't care at all when he heard Zhao Xiaoyue's complaints.
Patting Zhao Xiaoyue's head, he said, "How come you've lost patience in less than seven days? You've even learned to tattle!"
His gentle and loving smile dazzled Zhao Xiaoyue: So handsome, my little baby!
He quickly straightened up and said, "No, Sixth Grandfather, my master, do you think it's appropriate for you to say this in front of my master's wife, with such a big company and such a large industry, how can I be considered small?"
Zhao Xiaoyue looked completely incredulous.
Uncle Pu wiped the tombstone again, chuckling, "Zhao Xiaoyue, don't play dumb with me. There's no one here. Tell me, where are you from?"
Pu Liuye was clearly in a good mood today.
This was the first time Zhao Xiaoyue had seen the expressive Pu Liuye, who could even smile.
Even though it's a laugh that's so suffocating.
That's a laugh too!
Zhao Xiaoyue immediately became alert, and at the same time felt a little guilty.
Why is this old man saying that? Could it be that he knows something?
Could it be that Huo Qingqing's ghost has returned to tell him that she has been reborn?
That can't be, right?
So he pretended to be stupid and lied, "Sixth Grandpa, what are you talking about? Of course, it came from Uncle Taozi's place in Haishi. Oh right, don't blame him for telling me the address here, I forced him to."
They changed the subject and talked about something else!
Pu Liuye put down the front of his long gown, sat on a small stool, and began to analyze the situation carefully.
"First, your mother is sick, yet you not only don't panic but insist on going to a major hospital, which is not the behavior of a six-year-old child."
"Flaw two: skipping grades in the competition. Yanyang Village is surrounded by farmers for miles around. It's no exaggeration to say that I know people with the highest level of education. Where does their knowledge come from?"
"The third flaw: your temperament, eyes, demeanor, and skills—which of these should a six or seven-year-old child possess?"
"If you can explain even one of these things, I'll believe you!"
"How do you explain your life, which is full of flaws?"
Zhao Xiaoyue was at a loss.
Good heavens, how could she forget that this is a big shot? The old saying of robbing Peter to pay Paul is no longer applicable.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoyue, whose eyes were darting around, Pu Liuye said, "Stop thinking such petty things. You wouldn't be a match for me even if you lived three lifetimes!"
"Gulp"
Zhao Xiaoyue opened her eyes wide and swallowed hard.
She noticed that her sixth grandfather was talking a lot today.
A moment later, he decided to give up and sat down on the ground.
Curious, she asked, "Sixth Grandpa, if I told you I've been reborn, would you believe me?"
I was a little apprehensive.
Master Pu pondered for a while, "Suffering in your past life has led to fulfillment in this one. Hmm, you've encountered a great fortune from heaven and earth."
Then, gazing into the distance, he let out a long sigh.
Zhao Xiaoyue didn't understand why Master Pu sighed, so she simply ignored it.
Zhao Xiaoyue knelt down at Pu Liuye's feet with a "thud," but spoke to Huo Qingqing's face, saying, "Master's wife, your husband is truly a divine man!"
Master Pu laughed and scolded in a good mood, "Believe it or not, I'll slap you. Get up now!"
Zhao Xiaoyue quickly got up and plopped down next to Master Pu.
I felt instantly relaxed.
For some reason, she didn't mind at all that the old lady and Master Pu knew about this.
Instead, I felt as if my soul had returned to its rightful place, and I felt completely comfortable.
Master Pu said solemnly, "This kind of thing must not be known to others, and no information should be revealed."
"The major trajectory of history cannot be altered too much."
"Whether it's a person or an event, whether it appears or disappears, it all has its own meaning. Do you understand?"
Zhao Xiaoyue replied solemnly, "Understood, Master!"
He called out "Master" willingly!
Having seen through her background, he didn't pry too much, only warning her to focus on her "minor changes" but absolutely not to get involved in anything else.
Otherwise, you'll get into trouble!
Everyone is just a grain of sand in the long river of history, but Zhao Xiaoyue is the luckiest one, being flung into the sky and turned into a star!
