Darkness is not scary.

The lights at the corner of the street were swaying lazy by the breeze.

Occasionally, a few dog barkings are more like embellishing the silence with vivid colors.

Xu Yi slowly drank a sip of wine.

This osmanthus brew is the best wine that Widow Yun can make. It is sweet and mellow, but it is mixed with a bit of strength, which looks very similar to the widow's temper.

Xu Yi asked her: "How many years have you been fighting in southern Xinjiang? Even your husband has died there. Why don't you dissuade your son?"

Widow Yun smiled and said, "The child is old and has his own ideas."

Xu Yi asked Yunxin again: "What do you want to go to southern Xinjiang for?"

The boy's eyes were firm and said, "I want to pay tribute to my father, to the father in Qiu Mi, to pay tribute to the father and son of countless people."

"Just for this? Even the childhood sweetheart Xiaomo doesn't want it?" Xu Yi asked.

There was a trace of mist in the beautiful big eyes in late autumn.

She understands Yunxin.

He doesn't want to love himself, but to love himself better.

But……

"Grandpa Nan, have you been to Nanjiang?" Yun Xin asked replies without answering.

Xu Yi nodded: "I've been there, I'm back."

"Why come back?"

"I'm looking for something."

Yun Xin asked: "Can you say what it is?"

Xu Yi smiled and said, "It's what I want."

Yun Xin was silent for a moment, looked at Qiu Mo, and said to Xu Yi: "I want to be with Qiu Mo."

"You kid, you want to be with my Xiaomo, why are you going to southern Xinjiang?" Old Man Qiu said dissatisfied.

"Grandpa Qiu."

Yun Xin smiled and said, "It is precisely because I want to be with Xiao Mo forever that I want to go to southern Xinjiang."

"If I continue to follow the current path and get fame and fortune, I will only go to the Hanlin Academy in the future and become a member of the court. Even if I can do something practical for the people, I will not be able to cure the foundation."

Xu Yi asked: "Why can't the root cause be cured?"

Yun Xin shook his head and said, "Grandpa Nan, you are a wise man. You should understand what I mean. Intrigue and intrigue in the court, one day I will stand in the wrong team, say the wrong words, be trapped in a mess, or be killed in the whole family."

Xu Yi's eyes were burning: "Even if you go to southern Xinjiang, how could there be no intrigue in the southern Xinjiang? How many soldiers have become victims in the first thought of the superiors."

"At least I know why I die."

Yun Xin said seriously: "What I want in this life is the first one is my family, the second one is myself, the third one is the world, and the fourth one is life and death."

The dim lights in the room shone on the boy's face that had not yet completely escaped from his childishness but was full of firmness.

"My fathers went to southern Xinjiang and died in battle to defend their country. I went to southern Xinjiang not only to continue the path of my fathers, but also to be able to exert my light and heat in this great battle, have the power to protect my family, and prove that I really existed."

Xu Yi gave Yun Xin a thumbs up.

"Learning people speak differently, making people excited."

Xu Yi smiled, put down the chopsticks, and his face darkened a little: "What if you die in southern Xinjiang?"

"I have no regrets on the road I chose!"

"Then have you considered Xiao Mo?"

Yun Xin looked at Qiu Mi.

Qiu Mi looked at Yun Xin.

Four eyes are opposite.

"Xiao Mo, Grandpa Nan gives you two choices. First, marry Yun Xin and go to Nanjiang with him."

Xu Yi paused and said, "You let him go to southern Xinjiang and let someone else marry you."

"don't want……"

Qiu Mi was crying: "Grandpa Nan, I want to go to Nanjiang with Yun Xin."

Xu Yi said to Yun Xin again: "Yun Xin, I will give you two choices too. First, get married with Xiao Mo, go to the capital to seek fame, or stay in Rumeng County, help your mother open a restaurant and live a stable life."

"Second, give up everything and go to southern Xinjiang alone."

Yun Xin thought and was silent.

It took a long time to say: "I'll go to southern Xinjiang."

Xu Yi nodded, drank another sip of wine, ate a piece of steamed pork with rice noodles, and said, "Old man Qiu, Yun Xinniang, you two should rest and go back."

"Old man Nan..."

"Go back."

Old Man Qiu and Widow Yun went back separately.

A cold wind swept through.

The river of hatred in front of the door was rippled in circles.

It's raining.

Xu Yi said to Yun Xin: "Young man, you always have the dream of riding a horse and whip, but you know that the glitz in this world will be defeated by one person's heart. What you think now, do you really regret the future?"

"It's not just for dreams."

Yun Xin clenched his fist hard and said hard: "I want to do my best to make Xiao Mo live a better life!"

Xu Yi pointed at Qiu Mo: "Have you asked Xiao Mo what he thought?"

Qiu Mo shook his head and said, "I just want to be with Yun Xin, just have a simple meal."

"Xiao Mo..."

"Yunxin, as the saying goes, a good man is determined by all directions. You have the world in your heart, and you have the energy and enthusiasm. Not only is the small but also the country. You should be a good boy, and you are praised by people. But..."

Xu Yi pointed at Xiao Mo and said to Yun Xin: "You don't love her enough."

Yun Xin trembled all over.

"You think you can fight for Xiao Mo's life, but in fact, Xiao Mo's position occupies very little in your heart. The more you see, the more you know the world and think about it, the more you have to have. When the family, country and the world are all contained in your heart, Xiao Mo is just an insignificant one in the family, country and the world."

"Grandpa Nan doesn't want to stop you from pursuing your dreams and walking through a magnificent life. He just wants you to remember that no matter where you go, don't forget your original appearance, and don't forget your childhood sweetheart standing in front of you at this moment."

Xu Yi slowly stood up and stretched: "Xiaomo, your lover now chooses the road ahead, not the you behind you. Grandpa Nan cannot say what he did wrong. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. Grandpa Nan can tell you responsibly that at least now, Yun Xin doesn't love you enough. I just don't know whether you can give him a whole eye or not. You are the only chance."

It was drizzling, and the rain fell all night.

It still didn't stop at dawn.

Qiu Mi and Yun Xin, the childhood sweethearts, did not cover their faces and cried, nor did they lose their souls and doubt themselves.

It is naturally worthy of wishing for two young people, but in this world, too many things cannot match a thought.

It's a pity, not a pity.

At dawn, Yun Xin carried his bag, held a fan, and walked slowly along the quiet nostalgic street.

Widow Yun stood in front of the restaurant, smiling at Yun Xin's back, just like that year, saying goodbye to her husband.

Under the street archway, Qiu Mi hid in the corner and watched Yun Xin leave, tears were like this rain.

In the end, they chose the places they yearn for.

At the end of the bluestone slab, there was no longer the figure of Yun Xin, and in the rain on the nostalgic street, there was a girl named Qiu Mi, who shed tears.

Many years later, the young man Yun Xin became a general wearing iron armor and iron horses. He often looked at the ancient streets in the distance and recalled the girl back then on the nights where the smoke was everywhere.

It was only then that I realized what Grandpa Nan said back then that the glitz in the world was ultimately defeated by one person's heart.

Many years later, the girl Qiu Mi met a man full of her own eyes. He had no heart to care about the world and was even a little selfish, but regarded her as the only one.
