The seasons come and go, in a cycle.
A lonely figure wandered lost on the street.
Yang Bin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scene, feeling desolate and confused.
Over the years, he traveled to all the places Song Ruan had been to, but there was no trace of her anywhere.
He went to every corner of Kyoto University and asked every student there about her, but no one knew of her existence.
He also found their courtyard house, but the people living there were not their family, but complete strangers.
He also went to a military school in Harbin, but no one there remembered him, let alone Song Ruan.
He even went to Wadi Town to look for traces of them.
But she was not in any of these places. Even the mine in Wadi Town was still standing there, which was an eyesore.
Yang Bin walked in a daze, not knowing where the end was.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke his silent thoughts.
"You liar! You dare to lie to me? I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"
The source of the commotion was a man punching and kicking an old man.
The crowd of onlookers were pointing and talking.
"Ouch, what's going on?"
"I don't know. I seem to have heard that this old man is a liar and cheated people."
"What kind of lie is this? You're beating me so hard, is there going to be a death?"
Yang Bin, who was passing by, didn't want to pay attention to the commotion, but the old man who was beaten kept rushing towards him.
“Help, help!”
The old man ran over as if he was running for his life and hid behind Yang Bin.
In a flash, Yang Bin was startled.
When the old man ran over just now, people could see his face clearly. At first glance, he actually looked a bit like Song Ruan's father.
Yang Bin came to his senses and was about to turn back to take a closer look, but the man who had beaten him came over again, swinging his fist.
"Still want to run? I haven't gotten rid of my anger yet, let's see where you can run!"
Beating an old man who had no ability to resist obviously made the man very confident. Before he finished speaking, he swung his clenched fist.
But just when his fist was about to hit the old man, a stronger arm suddenly stretched out and blocked his fist.
The man pulled his hand away with force, but to his surprise, the hand he was holding did not move at all.
"Hey! Are you trying to meddle in other people's business?" The man glared at the person who was in the way fiercely.
But when he glared over, he found that this nosy man was actually taller and stronger than him.
The point is, this man was incredibly strong, completely restraining him, making his entire arm unable to move.
"Brother, let's talk it over nicely." The man knew what to do.
Yang Bin opened his lips slightly and said, "Go away."
Yang Bin threw the man to the ground.
He didn't want to help because he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but that didn't mean he could tolerate such bullying.
"Hmph, you old man, you're lucky today!"
After the man who was thrown to the ground thought carefully, he finally said something harsh and got up and ran away.
When the crowd saw that the excitement was over, they slowly dispersed.
Yang Bin turned and looked at the old man behind him, disappointment flashing in his eyes.
This person is not Song Ruan's father.
Come to think of it, Song Ruan's father had died in a landslide a long time ago, so how could he suddenly appear here?
"Thank you for saving me! You kind man!" The old man was beaten up, but he still had a smile on his face, "Good people will be rewarded!"
"Good reward?" Yang Bin asked with a sarcastic smile.
If there really is good reward, then why did he come to this lonely world?
"What's wrong? Young man, you seem to have something on your mind? Then why don't you come to my place to buy some things. Whether you want to change your luck, fulfill a wish, or get rich, it may all work!" The old man stroked his beard with a smile.
He was wearing a Taoist hat and had gray hair on his temples, and he really looked like an immortal.
"Do you remember why you were beaten just now?" Yang Bin reminded.
The old man choked and paused stroking his beard. He blew his beard and glared, saying, "Humph, that's because the man just now had bad intentions and has no affinity with me, so naturally the things he bought can't be realized."
Yang Bin didn't reply, he took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into the old man's hand, "Use this money to buy some food, don't cheat or get beaten up again."
After saying that, Yang Bin started walking aimlessly along the street again.
"Wait." The old man ran over and grabbed him.
"?" Yang Bin turned around.
"You can take a look at the things I'm selling first, and then decide whether to buy them or not."
The old man smiled, then he raised his hand, and a pestle appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The top of the pestle is particularly large and is covered with miscellaneous items.
Yang Bin's attention was immediately attracted by one of the objects, and he even forgot to investigate why this pestle appeared out of nowhere.
"This jade pendant..." Yang Bin's eyes were fixed on the jade pendant, unable to move his eyes away.
"Hey, how's it going? Is there anything you want to buy?"
"Yes! I want to buy this jade pendant!"
Yang Bin's eyes were filled with ecstasy, just like a dying traveler in the desert who suddenly saw an oasis.
This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one Song Ruan is wearing!
As her bedmate, he remembered every pattern on it clearly and would never make a mistake!
"Oh, you are a good young man, you have good taste!" The old man took off the jade pendant with a smile, "Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes! How much does it cost?" Yang Bin was very anxious.
The old man was calm and composed, "This business is not about money, it's about fate."
"edge?"
"Eighteen thousand dollars."
"...Here." Yang Bin stuffed the backpack into the old man's arms. "All my money is in this bag. There are also several large-denomination certificates of deposit in it. There should be tens of thousands of yuan. I'll give it all to you. I want to buy this jade pendant!"
After saying this, he stared straight at the old man and the jade pendant in his hand.
As if afraid that he would run away.
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
The old man handed the jade pendant to him.
Yang Bin didn't expect that he would give it to him so easily, and took it with mixed feelings.
"Young man, if you have a daughter in the future, remember to treat her well." The old man's voice was filled with reluctance.
Yang Bin didn't understand what he meant, so he moved his eyes away from the jade pendant and wanted to ask for clarification.
But at this moment, there was no trace of the little old man with an immortal look around.
Yang Bin looked at the empty space in front of him, then glanced around carefully, feeling very surprised.
Where is that old man? How come he disappeared out of nowhere?
But he didn't have time to think about it because the jade pendant began to heat up and soon became boiling hot.
Yang Bin's hands were burned red and stinging, but he felt very happy in his heart.
It will generate heat.
This means that this jade pendant is the one that Song Ruan owns.
The jade pendant continued to burn the skin, and the next second, a white light suddenly became brighter with the jade pendant as the center.
The blinding white light made Yang Bin close his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened his eyes again...
"...Song Ruan?" Yang Bin looked at the haunting figure on the bed and called softly.
He was really afraid that the figure in front of him was an illusion, and he was afraid that if he spoke a little louder, she would disappear.
"Yang Bin, are you awake?" Song Ruan opened her sleepy eyes and leaned towards him, "I'm still sleepy, let me sleep a little longer."
Her arms were around his waist and her head was resting on his chest.
It was not until he felt the real touch that he dared to confirm, "Wife, I'm finally back, I finally found you..."
Song Ruan tried to look up at him, "What's wrong? Why are you talking nonsense after waking up from a nap?"
After saying that, Song Ruan reached out and felt the temperature of his forehead.
Yang Bin held the little hand on her forehead, leaned over and hugged her tightly.
After a long while, he finally said in a humming voice: "Wife, let's go travel to exotic places."
"Huh?" Song Ruan was surprised.
Yang Bin said softly, "Haven't you always wanted to travel around and try some local delicacies? I was busy before and couldn't accompany you to do it. Now I'm not busy anymore and the children are grown up. Let's go out and explore the world."
"Really?" Song Ruan's eyes were shining.
"Yeah, really."
"Then I'll go pack my things now." Song Ruan climbed up quickly and began to take clothes out of the closet excitedly.
"By the way, where is our first destination?"
"...Well, places like Mount Putuo, Mount Wutai, and Mount Tiantai."
Song Ruan paused while folding the clothes and asked in confusion, "You want to pray to the gods? Don't you not believe in this?"
"Now I believe it." Yang Bin said devoutly, "I will go to every temple and worship every god I see in the future, just to be with you forever."
