Grandma thought about it, tears welled up in her old eyes, which made people feel distressed. Ah Zhu hugged her and comforted her softly:

"Don't be sad, grandma. Ah Zhu is here."

"Good girl, you finally lived up to my expectations. Unlike my old man and his children, they never came back and I don't know where they are now."

When talking about the past, even at the age of being buried, grandma couldn't help crying. It wasn't because she felt wronged or angry, but because she felt regretful. She told Ah Zhu that women should not be too harsh on their men, otherwise they would drive him away and he would never come back, taking his family with him, leaving her alone in an empty room. She waited for a lifetime, but never saw him.

When they are young and energetic, both men and women like to take themselves seriously. Only when they look back in old age do they realize what mistakes they have made. Fortunately, Ah Zhu listened to many teachings and was very patient at this time. He asked grandma to sit on the rattan chair and comforted her while basking in the sun.

Xia Xiao waved his hand, and the wood in the brazier ignited, warming the old man, who felt very comfortable and no longer thought about the past. Many things have no results, and it is useless to get stuck in them. In the end, you still have to persuade yourself and face it calmly. Life is just a dream, so it is better to be casual and live as comfortably as possible...

Ah Zhu was devoted to accompanying her grandmother, so Xia Xiao did not disturb her. He waved his hand to make a recliner and sat on it to bask in the sun. Even in winter, this small mountain village was not particularly cold, and the warm sunshine made Xia Xiao feel very comfortable. He even fell asleep unconsciously. Ah Zhu saw this and wanted to laugh, but her grandmother looked at Xia Xiao from time to time, curious about why he hadn't proposed to her yet?

"Grandma, don't worry about him. I'll chat with you."

"Okay~ Ah Zhu, why do I feel like this year has passed so quickly? It rained for a whole month, and it was just the beginning of summer, but in the blink of an eye it's winter, and it's almost spring."

Ah Zhu couldn't hide it, and didn't want to lie in front of grandma, so he told her the whole story. Grandma didn't understand a lot of things, so Ah Zhu explained slowly, anyway, there was plenty of time this afternoon. I don't know how long it took, Xia Xiao woke up, and Ah Zhu was still talking to grandma about those things.

As she got older, she didn't sleep as much, so the more grandma listened, the more energetic she became. As soon as she wanted to listen, Ah Zhu became more excited. Usually, it was Xia Xiao who talked, but this time it was her turn to talk. So, this lively girl told the whole story, and then she was excited to see grandma frowning and praising her, and she was full of joy and laughed.

"As long as you are not injured or in danger, grandma will be relieved."

"Don't worry, grandma. Xia Xiao and I are very strong now. No one can hurt us."

"That's good, that's good!"

Ah Zhu's mouth was dry, so he went to get two bowls of water and sat back next to his grandmother. She talked about Ah Zhu's childhood, smiling from time to time, which was heartwarming.

"In the past, every winter, you would dig ice off the iron tree and chew it in your mouth. Or you would run to the river and skate on the frozen water. I taught you a lesson several times back then. Now that you have finally grown up, you can make me worry less. I have nothing to regret. As long as I see you put on your wedding dress and get married, I will be completely relieved."

Holding Azhu's hand, grandma seemed to be holding her own treasure.

When they were young, parents all hoped that their children would grow up quickly. But when they grew up, including my grandmother, I also missed Ah Zhu's childhood. She was innocent and cute at that time, and would often cling to me. But this little girl will soon leave me and marry this man who can entrust her life to.

Grandma believed in her own judgment and believed that Ah Zhu would not make a mistake, so she celebrated in advance. When Ah Zhu sat on a recliner made of several streams of water, basking in the afternoon sun, his tired nerves finally relaxed and he fell asleep, Xia Xiao and grandma looked at each other, as if they were about to take action.

Grandma wanted to get up, but because she was holding Ah Zhu's hand and her body was too stiff, it was extremely inconvenient and she couldn't stand up. Xia Xiao made a gesture to keep still and shush, and she continued to lie there and see what Xia Xiao would do.

Xia Xiao didn't have much preparation, just a heart, and he was sure to create a good environment. When he waved his hand, the gentle wood energy in his body gushed out and moved along the ground, instantly covering the entire yard and creating young flowers all over the ground, some yellow and some white, like stars.

Xia Xiao stood in the middle, holding a flower, wrapped with ivy and two large leaves, it was a nice ornament. The pollen drifted with the light breeze, waking Ah Zhu up. The first thing she saw was the eaves above her head, nothing unusual, but when she stood up, the flowers painted in front of her eyes, like a wonderful fairyland.

Seeing Ah Zhu's surprised look, grandma couldn't help laughing. But at this time, Xia Xiao stepped forward and took out the bouquet hidden behind his back. At the same time, he knelt on one knee and presented the flowers in his hand.

Ah Zhu smiled brightly. After taking it, tiny vines grew out of Xia Xiao's hands and wrapped around them to form a tiny and delicate ring.

It was tailor-made, with vines as the base, a faint blue light emerging, flames engraved patterns, and finally spots of metal cloth, making it look extremely strange and rare in the world. But Xia Xiao did not stop creating it, but gathered the spirit of life in Ah Zhu's slightly surprised and excited eyes, making it flash a little bright light, and finally, like a diamond, perfectly inlaid with the ring.

The Dahuang Shang exchanged tokens when proposing marriage, but Xia Xiao felt that this step in the previous life was very good. He looked at the excited Ah Zhu looking back at her grandmother and covering her mouth, feeling a little unbelievable. She had just mentioned it casually, but Xia Xiao took it seriously. But since she had brought up this matter, how could Xia Xiao not do anything?

In fact, what shocked Ah Zhu the most was the white diamond on the ring made of the energy of life. What was the meaning of this? Xia Xiao pinched it between his fingers, looked at Ah Zhu affectionately, and explained:

"We first met here, and five years have passed without me noticing. In the past five years, you have accompanied me to many places, and we have also climbed mountains of swords and walked through seas of fire, and escaped death countless times. Whenever I look back, I find it incredible that I have known you for such a long time. I think you have become a part of my life. You have left your power in me, and I have also given you a part of my life energy."

"There is a sentence in the spiritual contract. Although it is a trick used by Yu Shangyan to deceive everyone, I think it is very suitable for us. I hope that in the future, there will be no separation, only life and death. Ah Zhu, will you marry me? Spend the long years with me and walk the long journey of life with me. One day, if we return and the world has changed, we will hide our identities in a small mountain village and play chess and grow flowers all day long."
