There are more interesting things in the small town of Mengshan.

Uncle Jiu left the river and returned with a full load every time, with several more jumping big river fish.

In a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, there was a shout of a young man drinking and practicing swordsmanship.

From time to time, a rich meat fragrance will float out.

Some people even saw that the walls of this small yard were covered with half a tiger's skin.

The "interesting things" that emerged in Mengshan Town ultimately... are because of two "strange people" coming.

Gradually, the town knew that the wildest and most fierce boy Yu, who lived in the mountains, lived in two guests outside the mountain.

The man surnamed Ning looked thin but had extraordinary force.

He is a ruthless character who can kill big fish in the middle of the river and hunt big insects in the deep mountains!

The other one is the real reason why the town is not so disgusted with "strange people".

The girl named Xu was so beautiful.

It is said that even the ferocious wolf dog at the gate of the town that was bitten when he saw Miss Xu, he would change his appearance, bow his head and bow his head, shake his tail and ask for mercy, and be extremely obedient.

One pass, ten passes, hundreds of passes...

So.

Every evening, young people of seventeen or eighteen years old in the town would gather together at the same time, squatting at the pass of a mountain road, and were eagerly waiting for the girl Xu with black soap gauze to pick herbs.

Even if you are covered with a veil, it is worth it even if you can see the slim back.

But what broke these people's heart was that Miss Xu never returned alone.

No matter how late it is, there will be a tough boy holding a stick, cursing, and viciously dispersing those malicious guys squatting in the bushes. No one can think of getting close to three points.

This Yu Qingshui alone is nothing.

The stranger named Ning, who was ruthless and had no words, was never absent. He carried his hands on his back and walked side by side with Miss Xu. The two of them talked and laughed on the road, so that the barbaric boy who was walking in the front, holding a hawk and looking at the wolf... was like an untied wolf dog.

It's not that it's a fox that pretends to be a tiger.

Although Yu Qingshui was young, he was brave enough. His peers in the town did not dare to provoke him. A few days ago, the son of the blacksmith, who was the most powerful in the village, fought with Yu Qingshui. The latter just picked up a peach wood branch, and the former made him run away with his head and pissed.

...

...

Mengshan has been a long time.

Spring goes and winter comes, and it’s a blink of an eye.

For Ning Yi, this was a dreamy year.

I lost my divinity and starlight, and became a true "mortal".

He will be hungry and tired, but it is this kind of life that returns to ordinary things... that makes his heart extremely stable, as if a stone has fallen to the ground.

This place seems to be home, which makes people feel at ease.

Ning Yi has even forgotten that he has the threshold of the Divine Fire Tribulation.

Open your eyes every day, it is a fulfilling and busy day.

In Yu Qingshui's visual world, there have never been any clues that can break through the worldview.

For Ning Yi, the only person who can be real, touched, felt, and believed... is Xu Qingyan.

When I first met, I was at Ganye Temple in Shushan.

There will always be a barrier after that, separating Ning Yi and Qing Yan.

The longest time they spent together was the escape before the Tiandu Night Banquet.

Fate is ups and downs, intermittently, and there is a breakpoint in this fictional and dreamy world.

So Ning Yi and Xu Qingyan went to Wujiang to fish and Mengshan to collect herbs. With quiet and silent cooperation, they became more and more tacit.

The illusion often arose in his heart... All this is real, not a dream.

Especially when the fire broke out at night, the family gathered around the courtyard and chatted and laughed. This feeling surged into my heart with the warmth, which was extremely real.

Ning Yi seemed to have truly integrated into this town, felt the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of every moment here, and imprinted the beauty of every day in his heart.

The years in the mountains are really long.

There is no intrigue, no life and death fight. As long as you are willing, you can grow old quietly here and sleep until your hair is gray.

Until the first snow fell over Mengshan Town.

The middle of the fog river is still quiet.

Ning Yi still has never caught up with Grandma Hua.

The grandma fell ill.

...

...

The stars were shining this night.

The courtyard is not as hustle and bustle as before. The whistle and bustle pots are stewed in the low heat, and the bitter taste of herbs echoes all over the room.

The boy who likes to laugh the most on weekdays never smiles anymore. He knelt on the side of the bed, his eyes were stubborn, and he held the wrinkled palms tightly.

Ning Yi and Xu Qingyan were waiting beside the bed.

The grandma's thin face squeezed out a smile. She wanted to make herself look more energetic, but her lips turned pale, and the more she looked, the more distressed she felt... When the three of them came back from their wheelchair, they found that she leaned forward from the wheelchair and fell in the yard without consciousness. After feeding the medicine, they slowly woke up.

"I think...my time is coming."

The grandma's voice is very soft.

"Don't say these unlucky words, it's just a fall!"

After hearing this, the boy's eyes turned red and he said viciously, "Did you feel that the medicine you fed you a few days ago was so bitter that you secretly poured it out? The medicine will be ready later, I will feed you one sip after another."

The grandma lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

"The medicine is not bitter, and the medicine stewed by Shui'er is never bitter."

The boy's body trembled, his whole body tensed, and it became a string.

He gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

In fact, I'm telling myself not to cry out loud.

He knew that the grandma never lies, and every word was true.

Just like many years ago, the grandma said that the river water would rise and it would flood the town. The people in the town believed it, so they escaped.

The grandma also said that she would meet kind-hearted people in the future.

Then I met Ning Yi and Xu Qingyan, both of whom were very good people.

Now... the grandma said she didn't have much time.

Yu Qingshui shook his head heavily and pretended that he didn't hear it.

A warm palm fell on the boy's head and slowly stroked it.

The old man smiled and said, "After grandma left, you must take good care of yourself. Yu Qingshui, you are an amazing person, you will definitely leave Mengshan in the future."

At this moment, the boy couldn't hold back.

He buried his head in the sheets, his voice whimpering.

The grandma said... she would definitely leave Mengshan in the future.

But he doesn't want to leave Mengshan now.

He wanted to stay with his grandma, he wanted to stay here.

Ning Yi looked at this scene and was poked hard in his heart, his eyes became dim... After spending time together for the past year, he has regarded the grandma as his "relative".

This kind and gentle mother-in-law has extraordinary wisdom and often gives guidance when she is in a bottleneck.

"Shui'er, I want to have a chat with Mr. Xiaoning and Miss Xu."

The old man gently patted the boy's back on the bed and said softly: "You go to the yard and wait for a while, okay?"

Yu Qingshui's face was covered with tears and brought to the door of the inner room.

The stars all over the sky fell on the old face on the bed.

The grandma looked at Ning Yi and Xu Qingyan with infinite smiles in her eyes.

"Mr. Xiaoning, you always thought it was a dream..."

"But in fact, all this is true."

Ning Yi was stunned. At this moment, he still didn't understand what the grandma meant.

"There is no time in the mountains, and I can't prove what year or month it is in Mengshan today..." the grandma murmured, "Maybe, you have noticed the abnormality. The people in this small town are all weird, right?"
