As soon as Wu Xingxiao heard it, he knew that the news had spread.
"Haha, your dad must be worried about you coming back. Come on, let's walk faster."
The old man turned around and greeted with a smile, his pace already quickening.
Wu Heng vaguely sensed something was wrong, "Grandpa, my father..."
Wu Xingxiao, who was walking in front, paused without looking back. He just sighed softly, "It's okay, I was injured before, and now I need to stay in bed to recuperate."
He said it calmly, but Wu Heng had a hunch that things were not that simple.
He subconsciously looked at Ye Lan beside him, but found that Ye Lan's thin lips were slightly pursed, and his face did not look very good.
This was the first time he saw the girl with such an expression, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the three-courtyard complex and came to the quietest one.
Wu Xingxiao walked forward and pushed open the door. When he saw the figure inside, he immediately smiled and said, "Xingjie, look who I brought you."
After saying that, he turned slightly to the side.
Only then did Wu Heng see clearly who was in the room, and his footsteps stopped at the threshold in an instant.
He was a man in his thirties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, looking like Pan An. There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that because he loved to laugh, wrinkles were clearly engraved on his face.
Such an outstanding figure was sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket covering his legs.
It was not difficult to see from the shape of the blanket that his two lower legs were missing.
And the man was obviously waiting for him.
The moment she saw him, she was startled at first, then suddenly realized, "Looks like, he looks exactly like when he was a child..."
Exactly the same.
That whisper seemed to break the blank in the boy's memory over the years and awaken the remaining images in his mind.
When he was very young, he had a respectable father who always carried him on his back on a big horse in the peach blossom forest, picking large clusters of peach blossoms from the branches, and shouting as he picked, "I want more, I want more."
At that time, his father promised him with a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, no matter how old you are, as long as you want, Dad will always carry you on his back."
The past is still vivid in his mind, but the tall and strong father in his memory can no longer carry him on his back.
Wu Heng walked over slowly, squatted in front of the man, and looked up at him like he did when he was a child, "Dad, I'm back."
There is no excessive narration or sensationalism, just such a simple sentence.
But the man burst into tears in an instant.
ten years.
After ten years, the father and son were finally reunited.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back." The man patted Wu Heng's shoulder with his broad hand. Feeling the hardness and flexibility of the young man's bones and veins, he was overwhelmed with emotions. "I'm sorry for putting you through so much over the years."
He knew that Wu Heng had entered the Immortal Mountain.
I also knew that the probability of getting out alive was very slim, but when I learned the news, it was too late.
Wu Heng shook his head and held his father's hand. The knot that had been hidden deep in his heart was suddenly relieved.
He didn't want to pursue the matter any further and just wanted to spend time with his father.
However, there are some things that the Wu family will give him an explanation for even if he doesn't mention them.
After Wu Xingjie calmed down, he continued to complete the story of Mr. Wu's unfinished treatment.
"Back then, I single-handedly built Peach Blossom Island, which was indeed famous for a time. Because I was young and talented, I was also arrogant. So, at the time, I was constantly entertaining invitations from various factions, and I felt increasingly euphoric. Until that one time, I had an accident at a banquet and was seriously injured. Upon my return, I discovered that Peach Blossom Island was in chaos."
"Peach Blossom Island has no foundation, and there are many outsiders with mixed intentions. Some have long coveted the abilities of my pharmacist lineage. When they saw me return seriously injured, they immediately captured you and your son and threatened me, forcing me to hand over the pharmacist's cultivation method and the right to use Peach Blossom Island."
"Those disciples said nice things to me at the time, but they actually threw me off the island as soon as I finished teaching them the skills. I fought desperately and was able to rescue your mother, but you were detained there."
…
After hearing the whole story of these years, the room fell into a long silence.
Wu Heng lowered his eyes and asked after a long while, "What about my mother?"
"She..." Wu Xingjie's throat choked. Knowing he couldn't escape, he took a deep breath before sighing, "Your mother was overly worried and passed away within two years of returning here."
Wu Heng pursed his lips.
He knew without having to say it explicitly that for a woman who had lost her child, faced a paralyzed husband, and a broken family, and experienced such a huge change overnight, it was a grief that ordinary people could not imagine.
"Hey, let's not talk about that. It's a great thing that Ah Heng has returned safely. Tonight, let's have a few drinks to celebrate." Old Master Wu interrupted the sad atmosphere in time, changing the subject while not forgetting to greet, "Miss Ye, you have to come too."
Hearing the sound, Wu Xingjie, who was in a wheelchair, noticed the girl standing next to him. He originally thought that she was his son's friend and felt a little embarrassed for neglecting her. However, when he raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the other person's face, the smile froze on his lips.
"You are..." He opened his mouth, and the familiar feeling hovering in his heart reminded his body of some dark memories, and he felt a faint pain in his broken limbs.
Although the voice, appearance and smile may change, a person's temperament, posture and expression are difficult to change.
What's more, the pharmacist clan does not rely on appearance to identify a person, but on smell.
The girl in front of me is clearly...
Ye Lan had been standing quietly by the side since he entered the room. He walked out slowly now, nodded slightly to Wu Xingjie, and said in a calm voice, "Long time no see. How are you, Island Master Wu?"
