C14 Dinner
At the moment, the town was decorated with lanterns. The sky was dark, but there were already red lanterns lit. A banquet was already set up in the town, and steaming hot pots were set up around the corner.
"What is happening... "Is this the New Year celebration?" Liu Li followed beside me and looked at everything. He asked me hesitantly.
I shook my head, looking proud. "You don't know, my grandmother is respected in town."
I told him that in the past, for some reason, my grandfather and grandmother came to this town and coincidentally encountered the plague. My grandparents chose to stay and use what they had learned to treat the sick.
You see, almost every five people in this town that are walking will be treated by my grandparents, "I greeted them as we walked," But most of the younger ones have already left home, so only the older ones know about these things. Grandfather and Grandmother never told me about them, they were all told to me by Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt when I was young.
Liu Li had a face full of admiration. Honestly speaking, it was hard for me to imagine that the grandma and grandpa who were in their prime at that time would choose to stay in this rural corner and stay for so many years.
"No wonder they suddenly disappeared that year …" Liu Li muttered in a low voice. I knew he was sighing at my grandmother's identity back then, but I was no longer curious. She was just my grandmother, that's all.
From Liu Li's words, I knew that Nana must be the same kind of person as Old Sun and the rest, but I didn't want to tell her about what had happened to me. Nana was already so old, it was time to live the rest of her life.
"Sixth Uncle, why are you squatting at the entrance again?" After walking a distance, I suddenly saw Sixth Uncle sitting by the side of the road, gloomily smoking a cigarette.
"It's still not your Sixth Aunt!" Sixth Uncle looked at me as if he saw his savior, and pulled me along while he complained, "Didn't I secretly take two packs of cigarettes? Why would I stand outside and be punished? I'm shameless? "
Sixth Uncle had a helpless look on his face. I had to comfort him and tell him to go back and tell Sixth Aunt that it was Grandma's birthday and that she would definitely forgive him. Otherwise, how could she attend tonight?
Sixth Uncle waved his hand and told me to accompany my friend on a long stroll. He continued to smoke with a depressed expression on his face. I comforted him for a while and was about to leave when Sixth Uncle's voice sounded from behind me.
"All pavilions?" In the hazy white smoke, I saw Sixth Uncle's eyes light up.
"Senior is?" Liu Li quickly turned around with a face full of respect.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Sixth Uncle laughed and waved his hand at me. "Little An, these friends of yours are pretty good."
"Hehe." I scratched my head before pulling Liu Li away. When we were far away, I turned my head to see that Sixth Uncle was still looking at me from afar.
Liu Li looked at me with a complicated expression and shook his head. "Tsk, tsk. These uncles of yours are all extraordinary. How come only you are worse than an ordinary person …"
Truly, I feel that Liu Li's venomous tongue will be even more vicious than Luo Yiyi's once he's familiar with her!
We strolled around the town, which was the usual rhythm of the town, everything was slow, no one was in a hurry to do anything, and after living in the big city for so long, I felt strangely relaxed coming back here.
After strolling around for a while, Grandmother went by herself because the mayor had something to do with her. I took Luo Yi and Liu Li on a aimless stroll around the town, taking the places where I grew up with me.
Seeing that it was almost time, we went to the place where we saw the feast during the day.
When we arrived at the banquet, I really felt like Sun Wukong was talking big. Loyi buzzed in my ear like Tang Xuanzang, asking me what my grandmother had done, asking if I had any pictures of my grandmother when she was young, the whole girl chasing after the stars.
"I beg of you, don't ask, I don't know any of the things you ask!" At that time, I still hadn't made a sound, how would I know what my grandmother looked like when she was young!
"There's really not a single photo?" Roy looked at me piteously.
"No!" "There's only one photo album at home. It's full of my photos. If you want to see them, go back and flip them over for you!"
"I don't want to see your picture!" She pouted and left in a huff.
I wiped my forehead and heaved a sigh of relief. I had finally sent the fly away.
Liu Li gloated as he patted me on the shoulder. "How do you feel?"
"I know what the Starseeker Clan is like now …"
"Actually, it's not her fault," Liu Li changed the topic, "Your grandmother really was too dazzling when she was young. She could be said to be a benchmark of that era."
From Liu Li, I know that when Grandma was young, she participated in a meeting of the Three Mountains. She defeated the Three Monastery's headmaster by herself and took away the Five Thunder Ghost Slaying Seals.
Then, they encountered an encirclement of demonic cultivators on the way. One of them killed all the demonic cultivators. Soon, a red maple leaf fell, followed by all the maple leaves falling.
At that time, every patch of red maple in the forest was stained with blood, and this was how Fallen Maple's full red mountain range was called.
"My grandma was so amazing when she was young, how did she disappear?" I was a little confused. Grandmother was so amazing, but why had I never heard my grandfather mention it when I was at home?
"I'm not sure either," Liu Li frowned. "When she and your grandfather were together, something seemed to have happened. The two of them went to BoHai together and then retired. No one knew what happened at the seaside."
I thought about it. It seemed that my grandpa had cried his nose to tears when he was drunk, saying that he shouldn't have done that. Every time he did that, my grandma would ask me to go out and play, which probably had something to do with it.
But it was all over. Grandma didn't want me to know. She just wanted me to live a peaceful life.
I smiled and patted Liu Li's shoulder as I walked forward. Liu Li saw that I didn't continue questioning him, so he followed me towards the banquet.
It was a birthday in the countryside, unlike in the city. When it was customary here, the host would find someone to cook for them and invite them to have a meal together.
As for Grandma, not only the entire town was here, even people were fighting to cook and prepare the dishes. Since she couldn't convince them, she could only let them do as they pleased.
When I got close, Loyi was already holding Gran's arm and pointing at me.
"Grandmother, your grandson is bullying me. I want to see the photo but I'm not going to!"
Where would I find a photo for you? Was this mistress spoiled in her own home?
"Let me tell you …" "Luo Yiyi is the precious daughter of the Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain Sect. She is used to being arrogant …" Liu Li reminded me quietly.
I suddenly realized that feelings are the daughter of the sect master …
"How can you bully my grandson's wife?" Grandma lightly hit me with a face full of dissatisfaction. "If you get my grandson's wife away, I won't forgive you!"
Loyi and I looked at each other, the redness visible to the naked eye creeping onto her face. Liu Li was laughing so hard that he was out of breath.
"That... "Grandmother …" Luo Yiyi whispered, "Your grandson and I aren't in love …"
"Ah, really?" Grandma narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Then this little rascal must work harder. Do you hear me?"
I knew that the last sentence was directed at me, so I could only nod my head. "I heard you!"
"Let's go, the banquet is about to start." Grandma pulled me and Luo Yi Yi, one on each hand. I helplessly shook my head, leaving Liu Li laughing behind as he followed her.
