A few days later, he made a small butterfly for Zai Zai. It was made of thin wooden boards with butterfly patterns painted on it with paint. He hung it on the top of Zai Zai's small bed tent. When the gauze curtain shook, , the butterfly swayed, as if dancing.
Su Wan also got two larger butterflies, which were hung on the top of the bed.
When Mr. Li made toys for Zai Zai, he didn't forget his wife.
Huo Yan stayed in Shiqiao Village for two days, and then planned to leave. Everyone bid farewell to him.
Mr. Huo really disliked him to death in the past, and even refused to recognize him as his apprentice for many years. But now, even people who are not good at talking have a lot to say.
Once a teacher is always a father. A disciple treats his master as his father, but many masters also treat their disciples as their own children.
May he grow, may he be safe, may he live long.
As parting approaches, there is always a lot of reluctance weighing on my heart, and in the end, it turns into just one sentence.
"Come back alive."
To be alive and safe is probably the greatest hope.
At night, after the banquet broke up, Huo Yan and Su Xian sat talking in the garden pavilion.
There are few stars tonight, the bright moonlight is shining from the sky, and the lights in the garden give off a soft glow.
Huo Yan held a leaf in his hand and put it against his eyes to block the light.
"I don't know when I will come back. For the past two years, you should stay with Master for the first time and remember to practice well. If you are still too bad by then, then continue to practice."
"In two years, if I am free, I will come to pick you up and see Master again. I can live with my sister and brother-in-law in these two years. But I don't know where Master wants to go after two years. Then I will first take care of you." He arranged it."
"If I don't have time to come back, I'll leave these things to you. If master wants to stay, my sister and brother-in-law will welcome him. I can rest assured that he is here. I'm just afraid that he won't want to disturb him."
Li Lin and Su Wan often have people coming to stay here, whether they are staying for a short time or a long time. The couple are very welcome, just like living in an elegant mountain and forest residence, with occasional guests or guests. a neighbor.
Su Xun nodded: "I took note of it."
After saying that, Su Xun also looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and his thoughts were a little confused. He said, "Can't I really go with my senior brother?"
After thinking for a while, he added: "That's all, I want to study for two more years, so as not to hinder my senior brother, and you will be needed to save me if something happens."
It felt a bit powerless to say that. He also wanted to go, but couldn't.
Huo Yan patted him on the shoulder: "It's only two years. It will pass quickly. The day will come. Don't rush."
Su Xun had also looked away a long time ago, as long as it did not prevent him from being depressed, he said: "That's fine, it's just a good time to see Ah Shi more, he's really fun."
Zaizai was always playful when he was a kid, but when he grew up he was a naughty kid, and his skin would itch even if he didn't get beaten for a day.
"Yes, you can look at Ah Shi more!" Huo Yan said with emotion. The brothers all liked this little cub very much, so they would go over and play with him for a while when they had free time.
That's the difference between adults. They just can't bear to leave Zaizai.
"Let's practice hard from now on."
The two senior brothers talked until midnight and then dispersed.
In the early morning of the next day, Huo Yan was about to leave. Su Xun left with him and sent him to Shangguan Road in Guiyan City before coming back.
Before leaving, Huo Yan kowtowed three times in front of Mr. Huo's door, then said goodbye and left.
Li Lin and Su Wan took their children to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, and had people deliver the luggage they had prepared, a wooden box that could be placed on a horse, which contained some herbs and medicines, as well as some money and money. There were also pieces of silver in the tickets, and even some copper plates.
Finally, there was a package containing two sets of changes of clothes, the dry food and pastries that the kitchen had been ordered to prepare early this morning, and a sheepskin water bag.
Su Wan said: "Have a safe trip here. Remember, no matter what time it is, life is the most important thing."
Li Lindao: "I have already sent a letter saying that you should go over at this time and someone will come to pick you up when you get to Wuwu City. Although you have good skills, the bandits in Wuwu Mountain are fierce and it is safer to have someone with you."
Zaizai didn't know what was happening. He opened his round eyes, then babbled twice, and looked at the horse with his eyes shining brightly.
Huo Yan reached out and touched his head. He was still a little unhappy. Not everyone could touch his head.
Huo Yan smiled: "Ashi, I'm leaving."
After saying this, he smiled again, then took two steps back and bowed his hands: "Take care, you two."
The two returned the greeting: "Take care."
Then Huo Yan and Su Xun got on their horses and rode away. The couple still stood at the end of the bridge holding each other, listening to the sound of horse hooves getting farther and farther away, and watching the figures disappear.
The spring breeze in March seems to carry the fragrance of spring flowers.
The water flowed slowly under the stone bridge. After a winter, grass grew on the bare ground, new leaves sprouted from the tree branches, and flowers of various colors bloomed. Before you know it, the four seasons have come around again.
The wind in Shiqiao was a bit strong and she felt a little cold. Li Lin hugged the child and put his arms around her: "Let's go back."
Su Wan nodded and walked back with him. When they entered the garden, they happened to see Mr. Huo sitting in the waterside pavilion in a daze. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there.
The two walked over holding the child in their arms.
Mr. Huo raised his eyes: "He's gone?"
He was naturally referring to Huo Yan.
Li Lin said: "Just left."
Mr. Huo sighed: "In the days that followed, I felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have let him bear this burden. My original ambition was only my business."
This was originally his business and should not be left to others.
If it weren't for him, these things would have nothing to do with Huo Yan.
"But it was already too late. He had already had such an idea, and he had even been working hard for it. Later, there was another Asun, and he actually had such an idea."
Li Lindao: "Mr. Huo doesn't have to think this way. He has reasons for you, but equally, he also has reasons for the world. He probably also hopes that the world will be peaceful and the people can live in peace, and he is willing to work hard for this."
"It's just that Mr. Huo let him see this clearly and know the way to go."
"That's right." Su Wan said with a smile, "Just like Huo Lao, what happened to the world has nothing to do with you? You were born in a clan, you are the son of a big clan, and you also received the post of general, and you have been full of glory, glory and wealth all your life. Enjoy it endlessly.”
"But you did it too. If you can do it, why can't he?"
Mr. Huo smiled and said: "That's right, that's all. The matter is over. Everyone has left. Whatever you say is false. Don't think about it anymore."
