Back in the mountains, it was already cold winter. It snowed just now, and Lin Mu was wearing a white coat, and even the breath he exhaled was white, as if he was one with the heaven and the earth.

The weather is cold and freezing, the trees are withered, and the dead branches and leaves are buried in the snow. Only when you step on it, you can feel the unusual softness under your feet. These dead leaves will become fertile nutrients in the coming year, penetrate deep into the soil, and nourish the budding trees. They fall, and they return in another form.

Liu Yan saw the pine tree spirit.

The pines were the only green accents in this fallen mountain landscape, so it wasn't hard to find him.

As a father, what kind of friends his son has made, he doesn't say it in face, but he also cares about it. Although she knew that Shen Jue had been looking for the emperor's reincarnation and had not found it for a long time, Liu Yan hoped that Shen Jue would let go.

Don't look for it, don't look for it, it's too hard. Liu Yan didn't want Shen Jue to follow Yimo's footsteps, but he also knew that there were some things he couldn't do.

There are many things they can't do.

Perhaps suffering and struggling, tossing and searching, are just a process of life. Liu Yan knew that as a father, he could not protect him for the rest of his life. Shen Jue's life was too long, and he was too short. She couldn't protect herself, Shen Jue was already an adult, and he couldn't stop the pace of time. He can't stop anything, can't stop anything, he can only watch the cruel passage of time, let the child he protects in the palm of his hand grow up and suffer the hardships that must be endured in the process of growth.

When the little pine tree spirit sensed Shen Jue, it was almost ecstatic. There was no wind and the branches swayed. A layer of snow fell under the thick pine tree, and then an illusory shadow floated under the pine tree, with a touch of green, shouting. "Brother Shen, Brother Shen," he rushed towards Shen Jue.

Shen Jue opened his hand to catch it, quite embarrassed. At this moment, Liu Yan, who was standing on the side, laughed. His voice was muffled, as if he was holding back something. Shen Jue, who was laughing, was even more embarrassed, and shouted, "Dad, stop laughing."

Only then did the little pine tree spirit on his chest notice that there were other people, and found that one of them was the half-immortal snake demon who was afraid to avoid it. His face was pale, and he withdrew from Shen Jue's arms. inside. The spirits formed by the trees are closely related to the main body. He is afraid, the pine trees are also trembling, and even the pine branches are trembling.

This is the first time in more than 200 years that Liu Yan has seen a pine tree tremble, the trunk does not move, the branches are trembling, and the pine needles are shaking down a layer. . Liu Yanyi found it funny, wrapped in a fox fur cloak, squatted on the ground with a smile and couldn't stand up.

"Father," Shen Jue was very helpless, afraid that he would laugh too hard and choked on his breath, while giving him comfort, he said, "What's so funny, laughing like this?"

Liu Yan lowered his head and didn't say a word, just laughed, his shoulders trembled, he stopped laughing after a while, glanced at him and said, "Brother Shen."

Shen Jue's handsome face suddenly turned red.

Yimo also squatted down and said seriously, "It should be called Brother Xiao Shen."

Liu Yan couldn't hold back even when he was having fun like this, laughing all the time, his body was limp, he couldn't squat down, he plunged his head into Yimo's chest, rubbed his tears and said breathlessly, "Brother Shen. , Brother Shen... such a good brother Shen."

Shen Jue was teased with a face full of red, embarrassed and embarrassed. The originally good name forced them to laugh in a twisted state, as if the little pine tree spirit was not called Brother Shen, but Brother Qing. Added a lot of numbness for nothing. It was so numb that even Shen Jue felt that his teeth were sore—it was strange, why didn't he feel it before.

Yimo picked up the man who was laughing to the point of being paralyzed, hugged him in his arms, looked at the pine tree that was still trembling, and said nothing, only said, "Even if you are calling for his brother, you should come out to meet us, and you will encounter a ghost. It's like hiding, like what it looks like." This tone was clearly the scolding of the elders.

The little pine tree spirit hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back his liking for Shen Jue. He was afraid that his cowardice would make them unhappy, and he would not let Shen Jue come to him in the future. So timid, he walked out again. He just couldn't help but wonder how elder brother Shen Jue, whose cultivation base was similar to his, had such a terrible father. This is the first time he has met a half-immortal demon. Seeing Liu Yan, who was laughing gaffe in his arms, was even more curious, saying that mortals are as timid as mice, how could such an ordinary person not be afraid of them.

In addition, although he is timid, he is not stupid. He naturally understands that these two have no malice towards him, so he dares to come out again, turn into a vague human form, stand in front of Yimo, bow his head, dare not say a word. He didn't even dare to take a deep breath, for fear that an accident would make them unhappy and be swallowed alive by this old monster who had been cultivating for thousands of years.

When he stood still, Liu Yan slowly stopped smiling and said, "Look up and see."

The little pine tree spirit raised his head, and he looked like a handsome young man in a green shirt. He was tall and slender, with a straight spine, but he was a little thinner. When Liu Yan thought of him, he shouted "Brother Shen" and threw himself into Xiaobao's arms. He wanted to laugh again, and after holding back for a while, he swallowed the surging laughter, and said solemnly, "In the past few years, I have been on the mountain since I haven't seen you, and I think I'm afraid of us. You saw it today, is it as terrifying as you think?"

The little pine tree spirit raised his head and glanced at him quickly, then lowered his head quickly, shook his head, the back of his ears were red, thinking that his mind was being picked through, and he was embarrassed.

Liu Yan said: "Since you are on good terms with Shen Jue, we will naturally treat you differently, so you don't have to hide everywhere in the future."

The little pine tree spirit was overjoyed when he heard that he did not refuse to meet Shen Jue, and hurriedly raised his head with a smile.

This smile is really clean. Liu Yan thought that maybe he was made of trees, and he grew up on this mountain since he was a child. The joys, sorrows and sorrows are clearly displayed on the face. A smile is a smile, without a trace of falsification, a pure and rare smile. Liu Yan suddenly felt that if he was with him, Shen Jue would not be lonely for the rest of his life, and he could rest assured. It's just that Shen Jue has no intention.

Shen Jue is a wolf and is loyal to his partner. This is the nature of a wolf. Although they have human blood in their bodies, they have learned from them that the love will never end. This is difficult to change.

But the eyes of the young man in front of him were clear again, with admiration for Shen Jue. Even if it's just a mortal, Liu Yan knows that this is another grief that is constantly being cut off and chaotic.

Feeling disappointed, Liu Yan said to Yimo, "You go back first, I'll be stubborn with him for a while."

Yimo naturally understood him, and he took Shen Jue away with a hand, Shen Jue took two steps and turned back, shouting at the uneasy little pine tree spirit standing in front of Liu Yan: "Don't be afraid, my father Very good." After saying this, he felt relieved and followed Yimo away.

Although Liu Yan looked young, his eyes were very deep. He glanced at the little pine tree spirit, then took his arm and led him to walk slowly in the forest. As soon as the half-immortal old monster left, the little pine tree spirit For no reason, he was afraid that this mortal who was inconspicuous before came. He was held by the arm, but he didn't dare to break free. He followed him cautiously step by step.

After walking slowly for half an hour, Liu Yan spoke in a gentle tone and asked, "You can't live without this forest?"

The pine tree spirit whispered: "My practice is shallow, at most three or five miles away from the main body, and it can't be farther away."

"How long have you been practicing?"

"Two hundred and eighty years."

Liu Yan nodded and was silent for a while, before suddenly changing the subject: "Do you like Shen Jue?"

The little pine tree spirit blushed a little, and looked at him blankly: "What is liking?"

He asked seriously, and there was no trace of falsification, which shows that he really did not understand. Liu Yan looked at him, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly thought of Yi Molai, and thought to himself, are all these elves practicing like this? Stupid and stupid, don't know how much suffering will suffer in the future.

Liu Yan thought for a while, but did not answer the question, and instead said, "Shen Jue has someone he likes."

"Ah?" The little pine tree spirit was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, his heart was sour, and a little bit astringent, and instinctively said: "Why haven't I seen it? He didn't tell me." In the words, unintentionally revealed He may not have realized the meaning of taking Shen Jue as his own, but Liu Yan heard it clearly, and the suspicion in his heart was finally settled. What Yimo said was right, this little goblin really fell in love with Shen Jue.

Liu Yan said, "That person is dead."

The little pine tree spirit was stunned again.

"He died, and Shen Jue has been looking for his reincarnation all these years." Liu Yan said lightly: "You can't leave this mountain, but in the future, Shen Jue will travel around the world and search everywhere. What should you do?"

The little pine tree spirit was a little confused for a while. Hearing him ask this question, he answered without thinking: "Can't I find it with him? After I practice for a while, I can leave the body and accompany him to find that person."

Liu Yan said nothing.

The little goblin was timid and simple, but gave him this answer without thinking. Answers that don't require thinking are often the most real answers - I will accompany you.

No matter what you do, no matter where you go, he will accompany him. Maybe you will regret and hurt in the future, but this heart is the most important - because it is one's own choice, no matter how hard it is, it will be like a sweet.

Even he has no right to evaluate, and naturally he has no right to interfere or influence their will. As for what to do if he can't find it in the future, and what to do if he finds it, he can't control those things, and he also believes that the children he taught himself will have the most appropriate solutions.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "I'm not going to my house, Shen Jue is cleaning up the yard at this time, will you go and help him?"

When the little pine tree spirit heard that she could be with Shen Jue, there was no reason not to go, and although Liu Yan vaguely frightened him, he also felt kindness, so he boldly nodded and nodded.

Liu Yan took him home.

In the yard, Shen Jue was sweeping the floor with a bamboo broom, clearing the snow all over the yard into the corner and building it into a small hill. Yimo sat on the roof and had nothing to do, so he watched his son busy, while casting spells, helping with small things, such as hooking his hands, letting the wooden barrel fly out of the kitchen, float to the river to draw water by himself, and fly back to the water tank He poured a belly full of water into it, and then continued to fly until the water tank was full, and the flying wooden barrel could rest. The rag is still tirelessly wiping the dust everywhere.

The little pine tree spirit followed behind Liu Yan, and the first thing he saw was this indescribably weird, yet warm, dazzling scene.

Getting used to this, Liu Yan turned a blind eye and sat on the chair he had just wiped clean. A teapot and teapot flew out from the open door and landed beside him. Shen Jue didn't lift his head, and said while sweeping the floor: "Dad, it's very cold, you drink some hot tea and go back to the house in a while, the brazier is already lit."

Yimo, who was sitting on the roof, finally stood back in the center of the courtyard. Liu Yan asked him what he was doing on the roof. Yimo said that the chimney was blocked, so he dredged it.

After talking about going back to the house, he took out the quilt and threw it on the only big tree in the courtyard. It hung on the branches and hung the quilt directly without pulling the rope. When he is alone, he has no requirements for anything. Only when he is with Liu Yan, he even picks and chooses the bedding to sleep in. He must smell the sunshine from the quilt and hug Liu Yan before he falls asleep. be comfortable.

While they were talking, the little pine tree spirit had already slipped over to Shen Jue, eager to grab his broom and help him.

The ground in the house and the yard was almost swept, but because the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, Shen Jue was afraid that the ground would be slippery, so he swept carefully. Seeing that the little pine tree spirit was attentive, he was also welcome, and shoved the bamboo broom into his hand. , told him to sweep carefully, even the ground outside the courtyard gate, before rolling up his sleeves and entering the kitchen to make cakes.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he pointed his head and asked, "Dad, what do you want to eat?"

Yimo sat on a chair and drank tea with Liu Yan. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Pine Nut Crisp."

The little pine tree spirit was stupid, but he didn't realize that he was being teased. He quickly put down his bamboo broom and said eagerly: "I have a lot of pine nuts, do you want brother Xiao Shen?" He has changed his words and called, "Brother Xiao Shen ".

Liu Yan took a sip of tea in his mouth, almost spit it out, and hurriedly swallowed it back, his hot tongue was numb, and he glanced at Yimo, meaning: You should be more restrained!

Yimo turned his eyes away and looked at the hot tea in his hand seriously, as if he had never seen it before, and looked at it very seriously.

That side, Shen Jue knew that Yimo had bad intentions, and it was not easy to break it in front of the little pine tree spirit, so he had to pick up a bunch of pine nuts brought by the other party, pretending that he didn't understand anything, and continued to make snacks. Taking time out, he winked at Liu Yan, his eyes were pitiful, and he hoped that his father would show mercy and bring this old demon back to the room, don't toss him.

Liu Yan received his son's call for help, blinked, turned his eyes away, and lowered his head to study the hot tea in his hand seriously.

Shen Jue gritted his teeth, but there were outsiders present, so he endured it.

The little pine tree spirit, who has never left the mountain, is in contact with people for the first time in his life. He is full of curiosity everywhere, so he observes their family very carefully, thinking that the world under the mountain is like this for everyone, and every family is like this.

Harmony is beautiful, sweet and harmonious.

I don't know, the beauty of this home is only like a short-lived flower that blooms just for a moment.

He didn't know it, but the three people in the family knew it, so at this moment, they cherished it even more.

With the intention of cherishing, the days seem to be stepping on the clouds, and the fluttering makes people almost think that this dream will never wake up.

The New Year is ushered in the cold winter, and many firecrackers are lit on the lonely mountain, which is lively all night. After the new year, it was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Even Yimo got into the kitchen and learned how to wrap stuffing for the Lantern Festival. The first few people wrapped the sesame stuffing, and the later ones made it well. The whole family cooked it. Pot Lantern Festival, put sweet-scented osmanthus nectar, and eat the Lantern Festival made by myself by the stove, and the festival is over.

The cold winter passed in a blink of an eye, the mountains and forests sprouted new green, and the dormant creatures became active, making noises in the woods. The little pine tree spirit often came to the only yard in the mountain as a guest, saying that it was a guest. The family was used to being loose, and even Liu Yan became more and more loose. Without the constraints of dogma and etiquette, he would not be treated as a guest. Seeing him coming, he nodded and went about his business as usual.

This day, the little pine tree spirit came to play again, and stood outside the door. The courtyard door was unlocked, but it was closed. He pushed open the door and called a few times, but no one answered.

They were the only family in the forest, so there was no need to close the house when going out. The little pine tree spirit walked around the yard, closed the door and ran out to find it.

Finally, he found this family by the stream on the mountainside. His little brother Shen was transformed into his original form, a giant black wolf, lying on his side on the grass and sleeping with his eyes closed, his ears twitched occasionally, knowing that he was coming , but he was too lazy to open his eyes. On the other hand, the black wolf had a head tilted on its furry belly, but it was Liu Yan. The black wolf was also dozing on the pillow, and there was a big snake wrapped around him. It was buried in the lapel of his clothes, and he was also sleeping. But no, on the days of spring sleepiness, the temperature is neither cold nor hot, and the sun is just right, so what do you do if you don’t sleep?

A family of three wrapped up together, and the lush trees above their heads blocked the light on their faces and gave them a good dream. And where the trees couldn't protect them, the warm spring sunshine was flowing on them, as if they were sleeping in a golden palace. There is the fragrance of grass and trees in the breath, the gurgling stream in the ear, and the warmth of the family.

This scene is like a brand, and it is deeply branded into the mind of the little pine tree spirit, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

Love each other and depend on each other.

If it weren't for the arrival of summer, the days on the clouds of this family would continue to float, and the days of self-deception are still long, and the time for self-deception has not yet come. However, summer has come.

The sun was rampant, and Liu Yan, who was wearing a thin shirt and a thin shirt, sat by the stream, with her bare feet stretched in the stream, with a wolf on her lap. Liu Yan took the rhino horn comb and combed it on the black wolf's fur. Every now and then, he combed a handful of hair and threw it into the stream and floated away.

Shen Jue sighed and said, "If only I were a snake, I wouldn't need it in summer."

Yimo lay on the side and pulled the wolf's tail. When he pulled it, it was a tuft of hair. He blew a breath, and the wolf flew up and swayed for a long time. It took a long time to fall. The stinky smell of animals is nothing, in summer there are often wolf fur everywhere, and you can drink your fur with a cup of tea, which is really annoying."

Shen Jue said angrily: "There is no fishy smell, you are a snake yourself, and the smell of a mound is real!"

Liu Yan raised his eyes and said, "What are you arguing about? They are all beasts, and they despise each other."

A wolf and a snake suddenly fell silent.

Liu Yan said again: "Why can't I feel what you said?"

"Father has cultivated for so many years, he has long been fasted, and he has absorbed the spiritual energy of the world. Naturally, he has no taste." Shen Jue said, "I will catch a wild snake in a while, and you will know what he is."

Yimo grabbed the wolf's tail and said with a sneer, "I don't think it's better to kick you into the river now. The dog that falls into the water will smell bad."

"I'm not a dog!" Shen Jue shouted, wanting to raise his head to argue with him, but Liu Yan grabbed his head and pressed it on his knees and said, "Don't move, it's not all right." Shen Jue had to lie back again, quite For the grievance: "Dad, I'm not a dog."

Liu Yan laughed, patted his furry head, and comforted: "I know."

Shen Jue was immediately comforted, and with the comfort of being combed, the thick hair on her body gradually became lighter, and she suddenly hummed.

He was so content that Yimo couldn't see it, he kicked over, and with a "crash" sound, the mighty black wolf suddenly became a "drowning wolf".

The black wolf in the water fluttered a few times and stood up, angered into anger, and jumped at Yimo, Yimo quickly stretched out his hand, and an invisible barrier was erected between the two. His ears drooped down, and Chu Chu called to him pitifully, "Father."

Imo turned a deaf ear.

The black wolf called again: "Father." He walked a few steps with his head bowed, and circled around the barrier. He was dripping with water, and his head was downcast, and he looked really pitiful.

Yimo hesitated for a moment and accepted the law.

Sure enough, the black wolf, who was still languid just a moment ago, immediately rushed towards him, throwing Yimo to the ground, and then happily shaking his body, the water all over his body was attached to the wolf's fur, and he threw Yimoman. face full.

Yimo wiped his face, lying on the ground helplessly tilted his head to look at Liu Yan, and said, "The good son you taught!"

The black wolf rubbed his wet face on Yimo's face, rubbed his freshly wiped face again, and said innocently, "You taught me too." When Yimo was about to kick again, he jumped away. To the side, toss the hair again.

Yimo sat up, cleaned the wolf hair and water droplets on his body, looked at the black wolf and pouted: "I skinned you this winter and made a wolf skin mattress for your father..." Before he finished speaking, Yimo Abruptly closed.

winter. Where is winter?

Liu Yan had been watching them laugh all the time, but at this moment, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Shen Jue squatted aside, silently returned to his human form, raised his head and looked at the sky. Perhaps the light was too warm, and his eyes were so hot that he was about to cry.

All three were speechless.

When the little pine tree spirit found the stream, what he saw was this strange and dull scene. He was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

No one answered him. Some things, loved ones know, loved ones know. The rest are irrelevant. They didn't even bother to talk.

Because there are many things that outsiders can't understand, and can't feel uncomfortable. They feel ashamed in their hearts, because the one who is hurt the most is their loved one, and it is only their loved one who can make them feel guilty.

How can the rest of the people understand?

Shen Jue walked over, sat beside them, and said, "Dad, what do you think?"

They have never discussed this topic in depth, and each of them hides it, so they don't dare to say it easily.

Liu Yan said lightly, "I just think about it, I'm still sorry for you in the end."

"What?" Shen Jue asked.

Liu Yan turned his face and looked at him for a while, before stroking his head, and said softly, "You and my father and son have been around for more than two hundred years, nearly three hundred years, but I have rarely been by your side... Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you again."

Shen Jue was stunned for a moment, "Father?"

Liu Yan summoned the little pine tree spirit and said, "In the future, you will accompany him."

The little pine tree spirit didn't know why, but nodded: "Of course I'll accompany Brother Xiao Shen."

Liu Yan smiled, looking at Shen Jue's eyes that were about to cry, she couldn't help but feel sad, hugging her son, but she was speechless in her arms.

Shen Jue is not stupid, she has always been smart, and naturally understands what he means. If my father left in a few days, his father would also go with him. That's why I say "I can't accompany you anymore".

- can't accompany you.

Shen Jue thought that he was born with parents, but before he could remember, his biological parents disappeared and he became an orphan. I don't feel so wronged and sad. Without my biological parents, as well as such a father and daddy, they are very good to him. He has never been wronged since he was a child. Although he is a monster, he lives in a big family. Don't dare to look down, and no one dares to bully. Later, my father died, and only my father remained. They searched for many years, suffered so much hardship in the middle, and finally they were able to reunite as a family.

But a year later, my father was leaving again, and even my father refused to stay, so he also left.

Just left him alone, living in such a big world without even a single relative, what's the point of living alone.

Shen Jue gritted her teeth and said, "I'll be with you."

Liu Yan suddenly raised his head and said, "No way!"

The little pine tree spirit couldn't understand what they were saying, so he looked at him hesitantly, his eyes looked at Shen Jue, then at Liu Yan and Yimo, no one would tell him anything, and no one would care to look at this time. He glanced. It was at this time that the little pine tree spirits realized that their kindness and friendship were limited. They took him as an outsider. The little pine tree spirit who understood it became sad and mixed with some grievances. He couldn't understand these emotions himself. He just felt that he had always regarded them as his own, like relatives. Why can't they treat themselves as relatives? After a while of grievance, seeing that they still didn't even look at him, the grievance changed, and there was a hint of resentment.

After standing for a while, the little pine tree spirit turned around and walked away. I thought you ignored me, and I will ignore you from now on. At this moment, he completely forgot that he had promised Liu Yan to accompany Shen Jue.

But he didn't know that Liu Yan saw his back when he walked away, saw it very clearly, and then came to the conclusion that this kind of temper was not suitable for Shen Jue-compared to the transmuted emperor in the previous life, this little pine tree spirit, even Not as good as him.

Liu Yan said to Shen Jue: "You still have your own things to do, and your life has to go. How can you follow us? Can you follow us forever?"

Shen Jue smiled miserably: "I can't find him again, so why don't I follow you."

"If you can't find it, look for it slowly." Yimo said, "Since you agreed, how can you go back? I never taught you to do this."

"...Then if I find it, can I find you?" Shen Jue asked.

Yimo was silent for a while, then said, "Where are you going to find me?" He looked at Liu Yan and said, "Do you really want to come with me?"

Liu Yan smiled: "After I left you, did you find it hard?"

Yimo thought for a while and replied, "When I was looking for it, it was still hard."

Suffering, he admitted for the first time. Searching all the way, I don't know where he will be, and I can't help but imagine what he will look like, what kind of temperament he will grow into, and even if he clearly calculates the place where he will be reincarnated, he still can't control his search everywhere, afraid that he will Miscalculation, afraid of not being able to find it, afraid of being missed by the vast sea of ​​people. So when Ji Jiu was reincarnated, he knew that he would be reincarnated in a wealthy family, in the southwest, but he couldn't control himself, and he searched all over. Afraid of missing, afraid of wasting.

The result is still missed, or wasted. Only at this time will I realize that even if I live for a thousand years, if I can fly through the clouds, and call the wind and rain, it is useless.

In the face of fate, even he is nothing but an ant, useless. It's so useless, there are people who like it, and there are people who put him on the top of their hearts, how can he not find this person.

Don't be afraid of hardship, just think about the beauty, the hardships along the way, and finally become sweet.

"I can only live for a few decades," Liu Yan said softly: "Even if I'm not afraid of hardships and go to find you, where can I find it? Even if I'm alive, it's hopeless. You are willing to leave me and suffer from you. suffered?"

Yimo stretched out his hand, hugged him into his arms, and whispered, "I don't want to." After waiting for a while, he said, "I don't want you to die either."

Liu Yan closed his eyes and leaned on his shoulder, "Then you are alive, can't you?"

"I... I'm afraid I won't be able to live like this now." Yimo stroked his back and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten? I'm a snake demon. Without Daoxing, I'm just a snake."

This is the answer.

If he loses his way and takes off the inner alchemy, he is nothing. It is not Yimo, who does not understand human language, and there is no peerless elegance.

Just nameless, a snake in the mountains. It only walks under the layers of dead leaves, haunts caves, eats wild animals, wakes up in spring, and sleeps in winter.

Maybe it will be taken away by goshawks and vultures, pecked open by snake skins, and stabbed off its internal organs, so it will be painful to die.

It is better to hand over the road and life together with nothing, nothing.

At least at the end of life, can spend time with the person like and eat a bowl of Lantern Festival together.

These alone are worth his tens of thousands of years of lifespan.

No regrets either.
