The night in the small mountain village seems particularly quiet.

That's why the sounds of those bugs and other small animals that cannot be heard during the day suddenly became noisy, as if they were holding some grand event.

However, at nights like this, people should easily fall asleep. Of course, people who have concerns or are not sleepy cannot sleep.

Lei Lie was not asleep, of course he had something to do. What Ding Guxu said to him during the day was really beyond his expectations. He didn't know now whether he should have told Ding Xilan about this. Although he had promised Ding Guxu, if Ding Xilan knew about it in a day, what would she do when she was going to do it? How would he explain it to her?

Of course, Ding Xilan didn't sleep either. She was doing the compulsory homework every night - reading. Although she was a girl, she was Ding Guxu's only daughter, and she was loved by Ding Guxu. Ding Guxu was not like a pedantic scholar and would not believe in "a woman without talent is virtue." He felt that reading and recognizing words would be very good for her in the future. Therefore, when Ding Xilan was five years old, Ding Guxu began to teach her to learn calligraphy. Ding Xilan was talented and recognized a lot of words over the years, so reading and reading articles was no problem. However, since her mother passed away, she no longer had time to learn from her father during the day. She had to work and support her family, so she could only take time to read books at night.

In a few years, she has read a lot of books. She has read 70% or 80% of the books in Ding Guxu's study. The Four Books and Five Classics can be said to be familiar with them. In addition, she has also covered books such as "The Three Kingdoms" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Zuo". Now, she is holding "Records of the Grand Historian".

At this time, she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and was shocked when she saw it was Lei Lie.

"Grandpa Lei, you haven't slept yet so late?"

"I can't find a sleep at night, so it's convenient to get up. When you see there are still lights in your room, come and take a look. Why don't you invite Grandpa Lei in to sit?" Lei Lie smiled.

Although Ding Xilan felt it was not convenient, he had already spoken, so she couldn't refuse. "Look at me, I'm just talking. Grandpa Lei, please come in. I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Lei Lie took the teacup handed by Ding Xilan, took a sip, and his eyes fell on the book on the table, "I'm still reading a book so late, haha, tell Grandpa Lei, what book are you reading?"

"Records of the Grand Historian." Ding Xilan answered very simply, "By the way, Grandpa Lei, I made a sachet for you. I was going to give it to you tomorrow. You are here here tonight, and I will take it to you."

After saying that, he took out a small cloth bag from a basket containing needles and fabrics beside the bed and handed it to Lei Lie.

"Oh, right? Let me see. Don't just stand there," Lei Lie couldn't wait to open the cloth bag, and saw a red gauze sachet inside. However, the workmanship was exquisite, and each needle and thread was fine at all. It seemed that it took a lot of effort. The word "Thunder" was embroidered on it, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Grandpa Lei, there is no good fabric at home. I can only sew one of them with red gauze to express my joy. I hope Grandpa Lei will not dislike you." Speaking of this, Ding Xilan lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Haha, Xilan said where did you go? Grandpa Lei, I like this thing very much. I can see that you made this sachet very carefully. But you have to be busy collecting herbs during the day, so how can you have time to do this?"

"It will not take a long time to make this." Ding Xilan was happy when she saw Lei Lie liked this, "As long as the ingredients are prepared, I can make it in one hour. Also, I added some dried little white flowers to it. Grandpa Lei, you should always carry this with you, so that you won't have to be afraid of the snake in the future."

"Xi Lan is still thoughtful, haha. I will carry it with me." After that, Lei Lie put the sachet around his neck and hid it close to his body, "This way, it won't fall off. This is a gift from Xi Lan to me, and I will definitely keep it well."

"By the way, Xilan, I just heard you say that you are reading "Records of the Grand Historian", where have you seen now?"

"Just finished reading "The Annals of Xiang Yu."

Ding Xilan answered in all kinds of answers.

"If you live as a hero, you will also be a hero in your destiny. I still miss Xiang Yu, but I will not cross the Yangtze River." Lei Lie said with a caress, "Xiang Yu is still a hero of a generation. Unfortunately, the hero is short-sigh. How sad, how sad."

"The victory or defeat is unsuccessful, and it is a man who is ashamed of being ashamed. Jiangdong's children are very talented, and it is unknown whether they make a comeback." Ding Xilan agreed with Lei Lie's statement, "In fact, Xilan's idea is similar to Grandpa Lei and Mr. Du Mu. I think Xiang Yu is too weak to hesitate and act in many things. In fact, if he is willing to cross the Wujiang River, then the world may not be Liu Bang's. Xiang Yu does not need to be ashamed of the Jiangdong elders, because that cannot solve the problem. If he knows that he is guilty, he should make up for it and make up for it, and not apologize. Then, it is nothing more than stabbing the Jiangdong elders hard in the hearts of the Jiangdong elders. Parents in the world hope that their children will become dragons and phoenixes. No matter what mistakes their children make, the first one to forgive them is the parents. Parents are always good for their children."

"Since you think so, then I have nothing to hide from you." Lei Lie's expression became solemn, "I promised your father not to tell you. But after thinking about it again and again, I still think I should tell you."

Ding Xilan looked at Lei Lie with a serious look and couldn't help but have an unknown premonition. "What...what is it?"

Lei Lie then told Ding Xilan about Ding Guxu's illness word for word. After listening to Lei Lie's story, Ding Xilan lowered her head and was stunned, as if she had become a clay statue.

Lei Lie knew that she couldn't accept it for the time being, so he advised: "Xi Lan, you are a sensible child. I just understood from your words that you are a sensible child. Although I promised your father, I think you should know this. I don't want you to have any regrets in the future, so I told you about it. Your father's life is not much. I hope that you can take more time to accompany your father and talk to him more. I will try my best to help you. I know that you are very sad now and may not be able to accept it for the time being. Calm down now and hope that when you see you tomorrow, you will still be as usual. Don't let your father notice that you already know the truth, otherwise your father will definitely be very sad. And my old face will also feel very embarrassed. I believe you will not let me down."

Ding Xilan was still shocked and said nothing.

Lei Lie shook his head and stood up and went out. He knew that now, nothing he said would work. Only when she figured it out herself would it be fine.

Just as Lei Lie went out to close the door, Ding Xilan suddenly raised her head and said, "Grandpa Lei, thank you. Don't worry, tomorrow, I will treat everything as if nothing had happened. Please, please treat it as if nothing had happened."
