Chapter 121 The sun sets in the west (end of text)

(121)

The thick fog engulfed the figures of the family owner and Yu Ce. Shen Tanqi wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat back at the table, and raised his head, the two cubs stared at him blankly.

"Where did my father and grandpa go?" Goldfish scratched his face. They had just argued, and no one dared to say anything. They could only watch tremblingly, but as they watched, their father and grandpa suddenly disappeared with a bang..

Shen Tanqi laughed out loud, took the goldfish to his side, and said softly: "Father and grandpa went to visit their family, can we wait here for them to come back?"

"Okay!" Jinyu looked at Mianmian in Shen Tanqi's arms, stretched out his hand and gently touched Mianmian's little head, "Daddy, Mianmian is so cute and looks so beautiful."

Shen Tanqi lowered his eyes and looked at the infant white dragon cub, and said with some confusion: "Really?" Mianmian was still a little dragon, how could he look so good-looking?

"I have never seen such a beautiful little dragon as Mianmian, even more beautiful than Erdan." Jinyu is also a dragon and has grown up in the Hidden Dragon Valley since he was a child. Perhaps in the aesthetics of the dragon, Mianmian's prototype is very good-looking.

Taro Yuan came forward and squeezed next to the goldfish. Not to be outdone, she whispered, "Mianmian is prettier than my brother."

Shen Tanqi couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you two look the same?"

Goldfish scratched his little face, laughed as if he just remembered, and said, "Yes, my brother and I look the same."

"When we return to Hidden Dragon Valley, my brother will definitely be the most popular among the nannies."

Hearing this, Shen Tanqi was slightly startled. He remembered that he had indeed heard Yu Ce say before that the two children were raised by a wet nurse.

Yu Ce had never mentioned the nanny in Hidden Dragon Valley to him. This time when he went to Hidden Dragon Valley, he had to thank the nanny who helped him raise his children.

As time passed by, the two cubs couldn't sit still and ran outside to play with the windmill.

Shen Tanqi looked at the shark beads on the table and began to feel worried.

Why haven't you come out for so long? There must have been a fight inside. If I had known earlier, he should have followed and had a look.

The head of the house has such a temper, and if he knows that the shark is Yu Ce's father, he will definitely beat Yu Ce indiscriminately first.

I hope Yu Ce can come out with all his beard and tail...

Just when he thought of this, the shark beads on the table suddenly emitted a light mist, which made Shen Tanqi tremble. He turned his head to look, and the thick mist became more intense. After a while, two lines of light appeared from the mist.body shape.

Yu Ce, and the head of the family with red eyes.

"Dad." Shen Tanqi called subconsciously.

The head of the family raised his eyes, his eyes fell on him, stretched out his hand, and took Shen Tanqi into his arms.

"For so many years, I always thought..."

He always thought that it was Yuan'er's death that caused Shen Tanqi's temperament to change drastically, becoming more willful, dandy and arrogant.

But he never imagined that the precious son he had cared for so carefully, holding it in his hands for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, would have been replaced by someone else's soul in his shell.

That year when he sent the counterfeit Shen Tanqi to Rongyun Sect, the boy didn't want to see Yuan'er's memorial tablet before leaving. He just thought it was because Shen Tanqi didn't want to be touched by the scene. It turned out that it was just because he didn't want to face someone he had never met before.woman kneels down and worships.

They actually regarded the civet cat as the prince and allowed that little bastard to act recklessly in Shuo Xia...

If Yuan'er knew, she would definitely blame him.

The head of the family's throat was slightly choked, and he hugged Shen Tanqi tighter, as if he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, Shen Tanqi would disappear from this world again and be left to suffer outside.

This is the only blood connection between him and Yuan'er.

"Dad, you know everything?" Shen Tanqi raised his eyes to look at him and said in a low voice, "Mom is doing this because of my illness. It's really weird. It's me who shouldn't have gotten that damn apathy syndrome.I have to use shark beads..."

"What nonsense." The head of the family took a deep breath, rarely showing a tender side, and sighed in a low voice, "If you want to blame me, I should be blamed. At that time, the road was blocked by heavy snow in Yudong, and we couldn't rush into the city all night, so we letYour mother had to take this step. It was me, and it was all because of me..."

Yuan'er is a young lady from a wealthy family in Yudong. Although she is not as wealthy as the Shen family, she relies on the Fei Luan Sect and has never suffered much since she was a child.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, with heavy snowfall, she, a little woman, was holding her child in the heavy snow, stumbling from house to house, looking for medical treatment.

He felt sorry for Yuan'er, and even more sorry for the child.

He wished he was the one who exchanged his life for his life, so that both Yuan'er and the child could be saved!

The head of the family wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, held up Shen Tanqi's face, found the shadow of Yuan'er in his eyebrows, and said firmly: "Although the old things have come to light, dad still wants to make it clear to you."

Shen Tanqi was stunned and asked, "Explain what?"

The head of the family let go of his hand, glanced at Yu Ce behind him, and said with great reluctance: "You...don't you want to marry Yu Ce?"

After the words fell, Shen Tanqi's eyes became brighter and brighter. He excitedly held the owner's hand and said, "Dad, do you agree?"

He originally wanted to wait until Yu Ce treated the family master with elixir and then find an opportunity to mention it. Unexpectedly, when they came back from shopping in Shark Pearl, the family master actually mentioned the matter of getting married.

"Why, do you think I'm such an unreasonable person?" The head of the family pretended to be serious and said in a low voice, "It's just an old thing. After all these years, I am actually at fault."

When he saw Yuan'er's body, he immediately went crazy and vowed to kill all the sharks in the world and make the demon tribe pay with blood.

Therefore, Shuoxia City has treated the demon clan with cold eyes and hostility for many years.

In the final analysis, he was the one who made the most irreparable mistake.

Since Yuan'er had already had the idea of ​​letting Yu Ce come to Shen's house as a companion, she must have been acquiescing to Yu Ce.

If this is the case, what reason does he have for not agreeing to this marriage? As for the cold treatment the demon clan received...he can only make atonement slowly in the future.

"The Shen family has ancestral rules for marrying. Son-in-laws from outside Shuoxia City must marry into the Shen family."

Hearing this, Shen Tanqi and Yu Ce looked at each other and said in astonishment, "Is it necessary to get married?"

The head of the family sneered lightly and said: "Knowing that you two don't want to guard my old bones, I allow you to stay in the Shen family for only three years, which is an explanation to the ancestors. During this period,You two will help handle the affairs of Shuoxia City, and after three years, you can live wherever you like."

Three years are enough for Shuoxia City to change drastically in the hands of Shen Tanqi and Yu Ce. With these two as examples, the hatred of the people of Shuoxia City towards the demon clan will be reduced a lot.At that time, the demon clan and humans will live in harmony, and the trade between the demon and human clans will be opened to help the poor and homeless.

This kind of Shuo Xia should be the Shuo Xia Yuan'er wants to see the most, right?

Hearing this, Shen Tanqi and the others could not understand what the family leader meant, so they immediately agreed in surprise.

"Dad, we have other things to talk about when we come back this time," Shen Tanqi happily poured tea for the owner of the family and said, "Yu Ce and I plan to return to Hidden Dragon Valley first. Young dragons are weak and vulnerable to harm, soWe plan to raise our little son through lactation and then come back to get married.”

When the head of the family heard that it was related to his precious grandson, he immediately said eagerly: "Then why are you still wasting your time here? Why don't you take your son back quickly?"

Shen Tanqi held him down dumbfounded and said, "Wait a minute, Dad, you really can't change your impatience."

He winked at Yu Ce and whispered: "Bride price."

Yu Ce understood immediately, took out the silver treasure box from the storage ring, put it on the ground, and took out the betrothal letter written by the sect master himself, and said with some caution: "Zhang Yue, this is the betrothal gift that the sect master prepared for me, and there is also a betrothal gift that the sect master prepared for me.A letter of appointment..."

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Both of them, who had little experience, were a little embarrassed.

The head of the family moved his eyes away, coughed unnaturally, and cleared his throat: "It's enough for you, Longzhu, to treat me. As for this betrothal gift, when you two need it in the future, you can take it yourself."

Hearing the word "father-in-law" from Yu Ce's mouth, it was really awkward for him. His buttocks felt as if he were sitting on the tip of a needle, and he felt uncomfortable.

Yu Ce was startled, "This is against the rules..."

"What's wrong with the rules? I won't have to let my son follow you to eat the northwest wind." The head of the family interrupted him with a raised eyebrow.

"...No way." Yu Ce retorted in a low voice.

Even if he starves himself to death, he will not let Aqi and the children suffer any injustice.

The head of the family glanced at him and murmured in a low voice: "I only have such a son. If you dare to treat him badly, be careful that I will be rude to you."

Hearing this, Yu Ce pursed his lips, brushed aside the hem of his clothes, and knelt in front of the head of the family.

"Yu Ce swears by the way of heaven that he will never let Ah Qi suffer any injustice in this life. If he breaks his oath, his body will die and his soul will not be reincarnated."

After the words fell, Shen Tanqi and the head of the family suddenly opened their eyes wide.

"How dare you make such an oath!" Shen Tanqi gritted his teeth and said, the two cubs are still there. What if you scare the children by saying such things?

Yu Ce raised his eyes to look at the head of the family and said firmly: "What Yu Ce said came from the sincerity and I will never regret it."

The head of the family stared at him for a long time, with a myriad of thoughts. He never thought that in the end, Ah Qi's sweetheart would be the demon clan he hated most in the past.

But it was this demon clan that made him feel compassion.

Words can be lied, oaths can be broken, but the light in the eyes cannot deceive anyone.

Yu Ce is the same as his son.

They are all good men with pure minds.

After a long time, the head of the family slowly walked up to Yu Ce, helped him up, and sighed: "I am old, and my son Tanqi will be handed over to you from now on. I used to worry that he would not be able to find someone with his temper.Man, now it seems that I am relieved to have you taking care of me."

Yu Ce looked at him blankly, his shoulder was lightly patted by the owner of the house, and his heart ached slightly.

He was suddenly glad that he was born into the dragon clan. He would definitely save the head of the family, and use this dragon ball to save Aqi's father, who was also his father.

After using dragon beads to heal the body of the family leader, the family leader sent them back to rest, and the two had no choice but to bow and leave.

Shen Tanqi and Yu Ce walked side by side, holding their cubs in their arms as they walked in the long corridor.

It was getting late, and the sky was filled with rays of rays. The red cage candles of the Shen family were even more beautiful than the rays of rays, reflecting the gold and jade-inlaid Luan and Phoenix patterns on the red corridor pillars.The two cubs stayed up all afternoon and played wildly all afternoon. They were so sleepy that they yawned and dozed off in the arms of Shen Tanqi and Yu Ce.

The side of Yu Ce's face was dyed red by the sunset, holding the child in his arms, his eyelashes as thick as crow feathers drooped and cast a shadow, his eyes were worried.

Shen Tanqi raised his eyes and quietly hooked Yu Ce's sleeves.

Yu Ce has been silent since he left the main hall, and I don’t know what he was thinking. Why is it that the head of the family agrees to their marriage, but Yu Ce is still not happy to see it?

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

Yu Ce held Shen Tanqi's hand back, smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."

Just now in Shark Pearl, he met his father whom he had not seen for many years.

Still the same.

Clumsy and likes to nag.

When she saw him coming, she just smiled, as if she had expected him to meet him in Shark Pearl.

Father said that he had met Ah Qi.

He said that Ah Qi was a very good child, as kind-hearted and gentle as his mother. He had always felt guilty about what happened when he used shark beads without permission to help Ah Qi's mother fulfill her wish at the cost of her life.

But seeing the sick young boy back then grow into the handsome young master who is free and easy now, he suddenly felt that the choice he made back then might be worth it.

It is not that the demon clan cannot understand human family affection, but the demon clan is trained as a human being from beasts. Most of the beasts have very complicated emotions towards their children. If the child is born weak, many beasts will choose to abandon the child who cannot feed them. In a world where there are many natural enemiesIn a world where they only raise children who can grow up healthily.

Because of this, he had never been able to understand why Shen Tanqi's mother would sacrifice her life for a sick and dying son.

But after actually seeing Shen Tanqi, he suddenly understood.

If Shen Tanqi was his child, he also hoped that Shen Tanqi could live a good life.

Human family love means that one is willing to sacrifice oneself, but also to let one's children seize even if there is only a glimmer of opportunity.

This is how fragile and short-lived human beings are, passed down from generation to generation, and this endless love continues from generation to generation.

——How great.

His father also said that if Yu Ce wanted to repay his kindness back then, he would also extend this kindness to Ah Qi, and he must treat Ah Qi well.

Before he left, his father held the head of the family for a long chat, one by one, shouting at each in-law, making them blush, and unceremoniously told all of Yu Ce's problems.

'Ce'er has a bad brain, a sweet mouth, and isn't good-looking either. Hidden Dragon Valley is quite poor. Her only advantage is that she cares for others. I hope the head of the family will never dislike Ce'er.’

The father's words made the head of the family nag until his ears were ringing, and both of them were eager to get out of the Shark Pearl as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the head of the family not only did not dislike Yu Ce after hearing those words, but also agreed to marry Aqi to him.

If it was really a story in a book, he privately thought that this would be the best ending.

But when he thought of the lady in Qizhuli who was holding Ah Qi in her arms and seeking medical advice, his heart still felt a dull pain.

Unexpectedly, it would be the last time he and his benefactor would see each other again when they said goodbye.

If those things hadn't happened, he and Ah Qi would have grown up together, and Shuoxia City would not have rejected the demon clan.

It would be nice if those things didn't happen, he thought over and over again.

If only he could have done something.

Shen Tanqi glanced at him and slowly looked away, as if he guessed what Yu Ce was thinking.

He pretended to smile casually and said: "Yuce, do you know what your father said to me?"

Yu Ce pursed his lips and said, "If you don't tell me, of course I won't know."

"..."

That mouth really ruins the mood.

Shen Tanqi snorted, stretched out his hand and pinched him gently as a lesson, and continued, "Your father told me that after leaving Shark Pearl, you should not be trapped by the past. After all, people have to move forward.Looking ahead and dwelling on the past will only make you stop."

"As long as you don't forget the dead person, he will always exist in your heart and will never disappear."

The reason why he did not follow Yu Ce and the family owner into Shark Pearl was precisely because of what Yu Ce's father said.

Mother will always live in his heart, with a smile as bright as a flower.It made him see a glimmer of warmth when there were dark clouds in his heart.

Yu Ce chuckled softly, his heart finally felt lighter, and he lowered his voice and said, "Is he nagging you like this too?"

"Yeah." Shen Tanqi smiled and said, "But your dad can talk better than you." Although he doesn't look very smart, maybe he is wise and foolish?

Yu Ce was noncommittal, his eyes filled with Shen Tanqi's bright and bright smile.

How lucky I am to be able to hold Ah Qi's hand in this life and have three children as lovely as him.

When I raised my head, the setting sun softened the sky.

The sunset is so beautiful...

He had never seen such beautiful scenery.

He thought that he would remember the sunset at this moment for the rest of his life.

Never forget it.

A faint whisper came from the corridor,

"My father, like you, loves to reason."

"Why, you started nagging me before you even married me?"

"God can tell you, I didn't think so, Ah Qi wronged me."

"If you don't listen, I'll punish you by not touching me for a month."

"...Aqi, you did it on purpose."

"If you still speculate about me, then add another month."

"……don't want!"

As the sun set, two figures walked in the winding corridor, one hugging the other, arguing about something. The two stared at each other for a long time, their eyes were dry, and they couldn't help but snicker at each other..

When each other laughed until they ran out of energy, the world suddenly became quiet, and the insects and birds hummed.

The backs of the hands touching each other touched gently. For a long time, one hand held the other hand, and the fingers slowly clasped together, unable to bear to separate.

The day is sinking in the west, and the long-lasting candle flames flicker on and off, and the red mist is thick.

Their shadows were stretched extremely long by the golden afterglow, gradually getting further and further away, until they disappeared at the end of the corridor - or maybe they would meet again at the next corner.

The moon is cool, the nights are longer, and the shadows disappear and people remain.Let’s get together again after a new cup of tea.
