His voice was very soft, but as long as one was not deaf, one could hear it.
And the old man in front of him gave Qin Feiyang a sense of familiarity that his second and third grandfathers could not compare with.
Therefore, he guessed that this old man was most likely his grandfather, who had never shown himself.
But the old man still did not open his eyes.
"What's going on?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious and said again unwillingly, "Grandpa, I really miss you. Can you open your eyes and look at me?"
Another long time passed.
Just as Qin Feiyang was about to rush to the balcony, the old man's eyelids moved and he finally opened his eyes slowly.
It was a pair of cloudy eyes, but one could clearly see that there was a strong sense of loss in them.
The old man just looked at Qin Feiyang without saying a word.
Qin Feiyang urged, "Answer me, are you my grandfather or not?"
"Alas!"
The old man sighed and shook his head. "I'm not your grandfather."
"You're not?"
Qin Feiyang's body stiffened and said, "Since you're not my grandfather, why do you give me such a strong sense of familiarity?"
"Maybe it's because of this!"
The old man reached out and grabbed a crutch from the ground in front of him.
The crutch was red all over, as if it was cast from magma, with a lifelike fire phoenix attached to it.
Qin Feiyang looked at the crutch.
The old man said, "This crutch was made by your grandfather himself."
"Can I go up and have a look?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"Yes."
The old man nodded.
Qin Feiyang jumped up, landed on the balcony, and took the crutch from the old man.
The moment the crutch was in his hand, Qin Feiyang suddenly felt a stronger sense of familiarity than before.
"It's really from this crutch …"
Qin Feiyang murmured.
"Back then, when your grandfather was refining this walking stick, he added his own divine blood into it. That's why it feels so familiar to you."
The old man explained.
"I see."
Qin Feiyang mumbled. He looked down at the old man and asked, "Then why is Grandpa's walking stick in your hands?"
"I'm keeping it for him."
The old man said.
"Then who are you?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
The old man said, "I'm your grandfather's younger brother, ranked fourth. You can call me Fourth Grandpa."
"Fourth grandpa?"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
In the past, he had thought that his grandfather only had one younger brother, who was his second grandpa. However, in the Land of Inheritance, his third grandpa had suddenly appeared.
And now.
Fourth Grandpa had popped out of nowhere?
How many brothers did Grandpa have?
Would another Fifth Grandpa pop up in the future?
As if seeing Qin Feiyang's doubts, the old man said in a hoarse voice, "We only have four brothers."
"Oh!"
Qin Feiyang nodded. He looked down at the crutch and suddenly asked, "Where is Grandpa now?"
"Seclusion."
Fourth Grandpa replied without hesitation.
"Seclusion …"
Qin Feiyang murmured.
Last night, he heard from his second grandpa that Grandpa was in seclusion. He didn't believe it, so when he saw Fourth Grandpa, he suddenly asked.
Because when a person was faced with a sudden question, they would instinctively answer truthfully.
In other words.
He was trying to get information from Fourth Grandpa.
Hearing Fourth Grandpa's straightforward answer, he didn't have any doubts anymore.
Qin Feiyang reached out and stroked the walking stick. He asked, "Fourth Grandpa, can you give this walking stick to me?"
"No."
Fourth Grandpa shook his head. He was very straightforward again.
Qin Feiyang smiled helplessly. He held the walking stick with both hands and handed it to Fourth Grandpa.
Fourth Grandpa reached out and grabbed the walking stick. He looked up at Qin Feiyang and sighed. "We can understand your feelings, but some things can't be forced."
"I understand."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"It's good that you understand."
Fourth Grandpa said lightly. Then he asked, "When I saw you enter the herbal field just now, you looked very confused. Were you thinking about something?"
Compared with Second Grandpa and Third Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa's character was a little cold.
"You knew I entered the herbal field?"
Qin Feiyang was surprised.
"Of course."
"As long as someone enters the herbal field, I can sense it immediately."
Fourth Grandpa said.
"Then why did you pretend you didn't see it just now?"
Qin Feiyang was quite unhappy, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He nodded and said, "I was thinking about something. This time I came to the Lu family, I thought I could find the answer in my heart, and I also thought I could see Grandpa. But in the end, I didn't get anything. This makes me very confused."
"There are a lot of helpless things in this world. Why do you have to be so persistent?"
"Follow your own heart."
"Do what you should do."
"Thinking about something you can't figure out will only add to your troubles."
Fourth Grandpa said.
"Add to your troubles …"
"Follow your own heart …"
Qin Feiyang murmured. Suddenly, he came to his senses. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice, Fourth Grandpa."
"Go!"
"Your life has just begun. The road ahead is very long. Do whatever you want to do. Don't leave yourself any regrets."
Fourth Grandpa said with a smile.
This was the first time he smiled since he met Qin Feiyang.
"Yes."
Qin Feiyang replied with a bow. Then he turned into a stream of light and flew toward the village.
"What a smart boy."
"If Second Brother hadn't sent me a message in advance last night and told me clearly, I might have spilled the beans when he suddenly asked me such a question."
Looking at Qin Feiyang's back, Fourth Grandpa shook his head and murmured. Then he closed his eyes again and entered the state of meditation.
…
When Qin Feiyang returned to the village, the sun had risen high in the sky.
Most of the villagers had also gotten up.
The old people gathered in twos and threes to exercise.
The children also faced the morning sun and breathed in the vitality.
Smoke rose in spirals over the entire village, presenting a peaceful scene.
"Feiyang, good morning!"
"Where did you come from?"
"Didn't you sleep last night?"
When he passed by the village entrance, several burly men who went out to do farm work greeted Qin Feiyang with a smile. They were very friendly.
"Yes, I slept."
"But I woke up early in the morning. Seeing that no one was up, I went to the nearby mountains for a walk."
Qin Feiyang said with a smile.
"It seems that you haven't gotten used to our life here."
"Let me tell you, in our place, whether adults or children, basically sleep and rest every night."
"Yes, what is the purpose of living in this world? Isn't it to enjoy life? Why do you have to suffer for the pursuit of cultivation? "
"You've just arrived. You certainly can't understand. After waiting for a long time, you'll gradually get used to it."
"Alright, let's not talk about it. We're going to work. There's still a large wheat field to weed. Let's drink together tonight."
The burly men sighed and smiled at Qin Feiyang. Then, they carried their hoes and walked towards the wheat field in the distance.
Qin Feiyang's eyes were filled with envy as he looked at You Zizi and the others.
Although they were burly men, their cultivation wasn't weak. Two of them were Eight Star Combat Emperors and four were Seven Star Combat Emperors.
In the outside world, such a cultivation level was enough to dominate a region.
But these people lived the lives of ordinary people. Every day, they ate, slept, and did farm work. They even enjoyed it.
Frankly speaking, even Qin Feiyang felt inferior to such an indifferent state of mind.
Shaking his head, Qin Feiyang turned around and entered the village.
When a woman saw Qin Feiyang, she waved her hand from afar and said, "Feiyang, I just made breakfast. Come and have some."
"Thank you, Auntie. Second Grandpa is still waiting for me at home. I'll visit your house when I'm free."
Qin Feiyang smiled.
"Okay, come over anytime."
The woman nodded.
"Feiyang, come, come. These are freshly steamed meat buns. Take a few and try them."
"There's also soy milk. I made it myself."
"I also have freshly baked old mantou. Take a few and try them too."
The villagers were too enthusiastic. Qin Feiyang almost couldn't handle it.
However.
Looking at the smiling faces full of care, his heart felt very warm.
This was what family was!
Those hypocritical people in the Imperial Palace, compared to the people here, were simply not worth shit.
Soon.
He returned to the courtyard.
Second Grandpa had already woken up and personally prepared breakfast for Qin Feiyang.
Two bowls of millet porridge, two portions of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of kimchi.
It was very simple.
But it was very warm.
The taste was also ordinary, but Qin Feiyang ate it. It was very delicious.
Seeing Qin Feiyang eating with relish, Second Grandpa was also full of smiles and asked, "Feiyang, how long are you going to stay this time?"
Qin Feiyang's arm slightly paused and said, "I'll leave tomorrow."
"So soon?"
"Isn't there still five or six days before the miracle opens?"
Second Grandpa asked.
Qin Feiyang finished the millet porridge in the bowl in one breath, put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and then looked up at the village and the villagers with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
After a while.
Qin Feiyang withdrew his gaze and sighed. "I also want to stay here, but there are some things that I have to do."
Second Grandpa fell silent.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "But when I have time in the future, I will come back. At that time, don't think I'm annoying!"
"What are you talking about? I can't wait to like it! "
Second Grandpa glared at him.
Qin Feiyang grinned, held the empty bowl, and said, "Is there any more millet porridge? I want to eat more."
"Yes."
"I specially prepared a big pot for you. Go and get it yourself."
Second Grandpa smiled.
"Okay!"
Qin Feiyang immediately ran to the kitchen excitedly.
"What's wrong with this boy?"
"He was still unhappy last night. Why did he become a little different when he went out this morning?"
Second Grandpa looked at Qin Feiyang's back suspiciously.
All of a sudden.
He shook his head and smiled. What was the point of thinking about this? As long as the boy was happy, it was fine.
Happy times always passed quickly.
A day passed.
At night.
Qin Feiyang chatted with Second Grandpa for a long time.
And after being enlightened by Fourth Grandpa, he slept soundly that night.
And he also had a good dream. In the dream, his mother also came to the village, and everyone gathered together.
When he woke up the next day, he felt unprecedentedly comfortable.
Second Grandpa knew that Qin Feiyang was going to leave, so he got up very early and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang also didn't leave anything behind.
What was to come would come, and what was to go would go.
After helping Second Grandpa clean up the dishes, Qin Feiyang suppressed the reluctance in his heart and said goodbye to him.
Second Grandpa didn't say much. He only said two sentences.
The first sentence was, "Take care."
The second sentence was, "Take care of Lu Zheng."
