Chapter 133: The Reunion of Family (1/2)

Qin Yu and company followed Wu Lao into the wooden room. The room was very clean and peaceful. Near the window was a wooden bed. Within a very thick comforter laid a person, Qin Yu’s mother.

“Wife!” Qin Wu saw the person, shouted out loud, and charged forward without regard for anything. Qin Yu also hastily ran forward with a loud, “Mother!”

Mother Qin, under the duress of their loud shouts, slowly opened her eyes. Through the dim light she saw the extremely familiar face of Qin Wu. Immediately her body shook, and from some unknown place she gathered the strength to throw off the blanket and sat up abruptly. Then, with both hands, she grabbed hugged Qin Wu extremely fiercely, so much so that Qin Wu felt great pain.

“Wu-ge, It’s you. Are you alright?” Mother Qin was very restless as tears dripped her face.

“It’s me. Wife! I’m fine. I’m still alive.” Qin Wu grabbed onto one of Mother Qin’s hands and he also could not hold in his tears anymore.

“As long as you’re fine…. Fine…… No! Your arm! Where’s your arm?!” Mother Qin screamed, she couldn’t feel Qin Wu’s left hand. Where his left hand was supposed to be was only an empty sleeve.

Qin Wu held in his tears to give her a light smile, “It’s fine. I just lost one arm. I’m alive so it’s fine. Oh, right. See who came as well. C’mere Yu’er.”

“Mother.” Qin Yu called out loudly as he knelt down next to the bed.

She quickly raised her head. Seeing the face which she had been dreaming of night and day for an entire year, her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

“Yu, Yu’er. You’re here, are you real? I’m not dreaming am I?” She couldn’t believe her eyes, couldn’t believe that this was reality she was seeing.

“F*ck, this isn’t a dream. This is reality. This really is Yu’er ah.” Qin Wu’s tears rolled down his face.

“It really is Yu’er. Yu’er ah…….. Mother missed you to death… sob……..”

In the next moment mother and son hugged each other tightly, crying bitterly together.

Behind them, Qin Zong and Wu Lao watched the mother and son crying together. They knew that it hadn’t been easy for them to have this family reunion so they quietly retreated from the room, leaving behind the whole family.

That night, it was most definitely Qin Yu who cried the most. It was the night that he cried the most. Qin Yu himself didn’t know how much he cried. But, he dared to swear he had let out all the tears that had been unshed for so many years.

Of course, this night was also one of their little family’s happiest nights.

After crying, it was time to turn the bitter tears into happy ones. Their family had gone through tribulations and hardships and finally, they could peacefully reunite.

……

On the second day, when the sun had broken past the morning fog to cast its rays down upon the little mountain village, Qin Yu got out of bed in the little wooden house he lived in.

After he left the house, he discovered that because the little wooden house he lived in was close to where Wu Lao lived, where he lived in was the highest place in the village.

He walked to a large rock outcropping at the edge of the cliff. From there, he looked down and saw the entire village in one scene.

In the entire mountain hollow, there were 30 some wooden houses scattered about. Some were small, some were larger and in the morning mist they appeared slightly indiscernible. The whole paradise-like scene gave the viewer the feeling of peace and serenity.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. People who lived here must be very happy; There was no threat of outsiders causing massacres or chaos. There was only peace and tranquility.

“Qin Yu.” Behind him, Qin Zong voice traveled through the air.

Qin Yu turned around to face Qin Zong with a smile but didn’t say anything. He then continued enjoying the rare experience of peace and quiet.

Qin Zong strolled over to Qin Yu’s side, and stood shoulder to shoulder. He looked down, smiled and said, “This place isn’t bad. Our Qin family will settle down here temporarily.”

“Yea, really not bad at all…” Qin Yu replied in a soft voice. He had no interest whatsoever in the Qin family’s situation.

Qin Zong was somewhat awkward, he couldn’t help but force a bitter smile, “Qin Yu, don’t tell me you really hate the Qin family? After going through this disaster, those who ought to die have died, and those who didn’t deserve to die died. Are you still unable to let go?”

“Family Head, there are some things that won’t change even if a few people die. You don’t need to say anymore.” Qin Yu’s tone was cold and resolute. Qin Zong felt depressed in his heart.

“Ai…..” After letting out a long sigh, Qin Zong could only give up on trying to persuade him. Changing the topic, he asked, “Then, what plans do you have for the future?”

“In a while I will take my parents and leave. And go live our lives.”

“Qin Yu, I know this is your own decision. I don’t have the right to say anything. But, there are some things I have to say.”

“I am absolutely certain that you are definitely someone who won’t be satisfied with being mediocre. Your road ahead is still long, and will be chock full of danger. If you bring your parents by your side wouldn’t you be bringing them into danger all the time? Since that’s the case, why don’t you let them stay here? This way you can be at complete ease as you take the road ahead. I believe that there’s not really a place more safe than here.”

Qin Yu was silent, taciturnly standing there.

Qin Zong’s words were conscientious, and had a lot of reason to them. He couldn’t deny his words at all. However, he had reunited with them after so much trouble, how could he just throw them away like that.

Yu’er, the Family Head is right.” Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. His father’s voice.

Both of them quickly turned around. Behind them was Qin Wu and his wife supporting each other as they walked over.
