The man picked up Wen Yuan and put him in his arms to comfort him, "Okay, okay, uncle will make another one for you. Don't cry."
Thinking of this, Wen Yuan suddenly left her room. She went to the yard where her uncle lived and found him. At this time, the man was tinkering with something she couldn't understand in the yard.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
Wen Yuan watched him slowly walk forward, and saw the man holding something she had never seen before in front of her eyes, "What is this?"
"It's a plane. It's a thing that Westerners came up with, but I can't fly."
Looking at the "airplane" made of bamboo like a toy in the man's hand, Wen Yuan became even more confused.
She decided to be honest with her uncle once, "Uncle, you...are not my original uncle, right?"
The man in front of her was obviously stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about? Of course I am your uncle, what was it before and what it is now."
"I have always had a good memory. My uncle was an alcoholic and he was sober basically only one day a month. But you are different. You know a lot of things and you never drink. How much can a person endure?" How can one change from an alcoholic to a teetotaler by a blow?"
Wen Yuan's words made the man nervous. He looked at Wen Yuan and didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he still didn't want to admit his identity. "You kid, what are you talking about? Take a closer look. I'm with you." Is the uncle in your memory exactly the same, are you confused? I just chose not to drink anymore because of some things."
"Little uncle, we live in a place where there are monsters, gods, and ghosts. There should be a big gap between this world and your original world, right? There's no need to escape. In fact... you've always pretended not to be different. Maybe this is why This is the real reason why my mother wants to alienate you. After all, no one can bear the fact that his brother is still there, but his soul has become another person."
The man still had no intention of speaking, so Wen Yuan left. She knew that she was in some trouble here now, so she might as well let him think about it.
After leaving, Wen Yuan was still frightened when he thought about what he had just said. If his uncle really had no problems, wouldn't he be the one with the problem?
But after she left, the man began to wonder whether he should tell the truth to her now that Wen Yuan had brought this matter to his attention.
But if I told the truth, I might not be able to stay here anymore.
After thinking for a while, the man felt that it was still necessary to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Wen Yuan. He had long wanted to find someone to talk to Wen Yuan about the secret he had kept for so many years.
When they arrived at Wen Yuan's yard, the man drove all the servants away and said, "A Yuan, my uncle will tell you about this, but I don't know if you can accept it."
Seeing the man like this, Wen Yuan realized that what Shen Huaiyan said was true. Maybe his uncle really came from another world and another time.
"You have guessed it, right? I am not your uncle. In fact, that day, I drank too much with my friends, and I had a long dream when I fell asleep. When I woke up from the dream, I was already in your life. this place."
He looked at Wen Yuan with emotion, "It took me a long time to adapt to the life here, but I am incompatible with it. In my hometown, in my era, we had convenient transportation and no need to write letters. What you say can be conveyed to the other party in the blink of an eye..."
Wen Yuan was obviously envious when he heard this, "Uncle, haven't you ever thought about going back?"
"I have thought about it. I have tried many methods, but none of them work. Sometimes I just think, how wonderful it would be if all this was just a dream. After I wake up from the dream, I continue my life..."
"But in that case, I wouldn't know you, right? So...I'm quite glad that you didn't go back. Of course, this is very selfish..."
Wen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at his uncle with some regret, then looked at the distant horizon, his eyes full of sadness, "Being so far away from home, you must miss home."
"I really...miss my friends, the convenient life there, everything there, and even more, my parents."
"Alas..." Wen Yuan sighed. She didn't know how to face this man, so she could only express her distress by sighing.
However, the man was very tolerant and comforted Wen Yuan, "It's okay. After so many years, I've gotten used to it, and I'm very lucky. When I became irritable and confused because of this incident, it was you. Stay by my side, have you forgotten? You always spoke for me before. Others didn't let you play with me, but you still followed me as you wanted. This really touched me."
Having said that…
Wen Yuan felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She lowered her head and whispered: "Don't mention this kind of thing again. It's not a big deal."
"How could it be such a big deal? It was very important to me. At that time, I knew nothing about the world and didn't know anyone. Only you talked to me. This was a big deal to me. It’s a very heart-warming thing.”
Wen Yuan was a little moved by the man's words. Thinking about his strange behavior before, it seemed that now it was really because he knew nothing about the world.
"Actually, I still don't know what kind of place this is. It doesn't exist in the history I've studied... But if it does exist, then everyone there should be able to cultivate immortality, haha."
Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Wen Yuan felt a little better, "If possible, I hope you can go back to your hometown. It must be much better than here."
The man did not refute Wen Yuan's words, because in his mind, modern times are indeed better than ancient times where everything was backward.
While the two were talking, King Dingnan walked in from outside the courtyard, "Ah Yuan, why are you here?" He was surprised when he saw Wen Yuan, "What are you doing here?!"
In the memory of King Dingnan, his wife's younger brother was still a crazy person. He used to like drinking and would go crazy after drinking. However, he stopped drinking later and started saying things that others could not understand.
"Don't be nervous, brother-in-law. Ayuan came here to ask me how to make the water gun I made for her before. She also wants to go back and teach the children in Wanmoyuan."
Seeing that this was the case, the man dubiously agreed, but he also had other things to talk to his brother-in-law when he came this time.
"What about that? Ah Yuan, please go out first and I'll talk to your uncle about something."
Wen Yuan was very curious about what his father wanted to say to his uncle, so he asked coquettishly if he could stay.
King Dingnan thought for a while and realized that it was not a big deal. If she wanted to stay, she could stay, so he reluctantly agreed.
After turning around, the man sat on the stool and looked at Uncle Wen Yuan seriously, "Axing, you are almost forty this year. At this age, don't you still want to find a wife?"
"Oh, brother-in-law, I thought you had something important to do. Unexpectedly, you just urged me to start a family. Let's forget it. I have no idea about this now."
"You are getting older now. You can't stay like this forever. You, a childless person, what will you do when you get old? Who will take care of you?"
Seeing his father's earnest words, Wen Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
Her smile attracted the attention of the man opposite, and her uncle raised his eyebrows and gave Wen Yuan a playful look, "Xiao Yuan'er won't ignore me, right?"
Wen Yuan smiled helplessly and nodded, "Yes, yes, I will take care of you. I won't leave you alone when you get old."
"Look, brother-in-law, I have Ayuan, I'm not afraid of anything, and I've already thought about it. When I get old, I will buy a house nearby and live there. I can also visit you often."
"You! In that case, you might as well find something to do around here. Your sister's store has been left unattended. If you are free, take over it."
Wen Yuan could see that his old father was really worried about his life. He didn't want his uncle to be homeless, so he tried his best to make his life better. Even the shop left by his mother was given to him.
Thinking of this, Wen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, uncle, after all, that is the shop left by my mother. If you have plans to live in the capital for a long time, then you might as well take over my mother's shop."
After Wen Yuan said this, the man felt that he had no reason to refuse. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, tomorrow I will go and see how the store is doing."
In modern times, he also had his own shop, so managing a shop was not difficult for him.
"That's it. I'll leave first. Ah Yuan, if you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. There will be guests coming to the house later. Since you are here, come and sit with us." After saying this, King Dingnan left with his hands behind his hands. The two were left looking at each other.
Wen Yuan sat down again after seeing her father walk away. When the man saw that her expression was wrong, he quickly asked: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like an eggplant beaten by frost? Weren't you fine just now?"
"Listen to what my father said just now. I went over to sit there and saw that I was on a blind date again. I just don't know who it is this time."
"Oh, I didn't expect that your life would be difficult. It's okay. If you want to stay here, you can stay here. I'm not afraid of what your father will say, so just think of me as protecting you."
Wen Yuan wanted to be more peaceful here, but it was inappropriate. After all, it was about his father's face. It would be bad if he didn't go. At his age, he couldn't be as willful as before.
She stood up, packed herself up, and walked out, "Forget it, let's go meet him, otherwise my father will not give up, but I'm surprised, why is he so keen on matching others now."
