C89 Endless Wind and Moon (1/2)
After lunch, Cheng Jian called Chang Jing to their room.
”We plan to bring you to see your grandparents,” Cheng Jian said, as if he had made a great decision, and continued, ”Your mother and I had discussed this matter, and we have already left for twenty years. Now that you know your past, and also have grown up like this, it's time for you to visit your old home.”
Chang Jing looked at his parents' eyes and replied happily, ”Okay, I thought I didn't have a grandma or grandpa. This time, it can be said that you have acknowledged your ancestors and returned to your clan! ”
Although she said that, Chang Jing knew how much his parents had made up their mind to go back. After all, they hadn't seen each other in twenty years. If they went back, would their grandparents still break up their parents and force them to separate? Thus, he chose this unsophisticated method of inserting meat into one's body, so that his parents would forget about these annoying thoughts for the time being.
From this, it could be seen that Chang Jing still hadn't grown up. At least in her mind, he was still simple, he did not understand that what his parents were most afraid of was not what he was thinking. They were afraid that once they reached home, everything would change!
Rou Xin was amused by Chang Jing's childish joke and scolded him, ”You damn brat, you got so excited when you heard that you were going out. You sure are like a child!”
However, the faint worry and fear in her eyes couldn't be concealed. Sometimes, family was really hard for people to endure.
Chang Jing deliberately scratched her head and said, ”I am happy!”
Laughter rang out from the room again, and the family of three enjoyed themselves. However, life was unpredictable. How long could such a beautiful day last?
The group of three continued their journey, and after four days, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Wind Moon City, which was located in the east of Aragorn.
The Wind Moon City was one of the important cities in the Ara, situated in the Wind Moon Basin. It was surrounded by mountains on all four sides, warm as spring all year round, with beautiful scenery. The only regret was that the transportation was extremely inconvenient, to the point where a wandering poet once sighed loudly. It was also because of this geographical reason that this place maintained the Aragorn's usual pure martial arts style. Thus, most of the famous martial artists came from here.
It was midsummer, but there were no annoying sounds of summer bugs chirping. There were even bursts of cool wind. The moat was filled with fresh flowers and trees, the willow tree was like silk, making it stand still, and the hundred flowers made people feel pity. The strangest thing was that, even though it was winter, the La Mei could still be seen outside the Wind Moon City. This act of wind and nature was enough to cause people to sigh from the bottom of their hearts!
”Father,” Chang Jing was obviously stunned by the beautiful scenery of the moat, he tugged at Cheng Jian's sleeves and said, ”When we get to grandfather's house, can we come out often to look at the scenery?”
Before a parent, the child is always a child — the parent will think of them as children, and the child will feel compelled to think of himself as a child and say what the child should say.
Looking at the completely exposed Chang Jing, Cheng Jian said helplessly, ”The scenery in the city is even prettier, the garden in Grandfather's home is also renowned as the number one garden in the Wind Cloud City, and when we get home, you can look at it!”
”Really?” Chang Jing's eyes lit up, ”Then let's go quickly!”
With that, he ran into the city.
However, after running only a few steps, he had returned. This was because his parents were standing at the entrance of the city without moving at all.
”What's wrong?” Chang Jing looked at them and asked. ”Are you tired?
”Yeah, we're almost there!” Cheng Jian let out a long sigh, ”This separation takes twenty years!”
”I wonder how things are going at home?” Rou Xin muttered to himself, ”Fear of approaching home, fear of approaching home!”
Cheng Jian turned around and gently looked at her, consoling her, ”It's alright, it's only been a few years, there shouldn't be any changes. ”Besides, I have everything, hehe …”
But how could he not be worried?
”Alright,” Chang Jing forcibly pulled her parents' hands and walked into the city. ”No matter what, we are already very close to it, we can't possibly go back, right? If you want to know how the situation is, isn't it simple?
”Un, let's go home!” The couple seemed to have made up their minds.
But after a while they began to be afraid again.
”Why don't we find someone to ask about the situation at home?” Rou Xin suggested.
”That's exactly what I was thinking!” Cheng Jian replied as he pulled a young man who was pushing a cart not far in front of him and asked.
