"Yu Sheng?"
The one-eyed Old Man still likes to sit on the big rock at the entrance of the village. After seeing Yu Sheng, he was startled and said with a smile.
"Hello, senior."
Yu Sheng came to Old Man and spoke politely.
"Haha..."
"I can't afford to call you a senior."
"You are now Pavilion Master of the Ink Pavilion, and even more so my Human Race's hero. If I didn't call you Elder Yu, it's already my fault."
Old Man shook his head and explained seriously.
"It has nothing to do with merit..."
"You are still a senior."
Yu Sheng shook his head and retorted.
But Old Man stared at Yu Sheng seriously. "No!"
"If you don't care about merit, then what are we Old Codgers doing for the sake of risking our lives?"
"Yes, we are targeting the Protection people!"
"But if it's just Protection and there's no reward, Reserve Corps won't last long either."
"Achievements are what we value most."
"If you are in Veterans' Camp and don't talk about this, are you trying to deny our lifelong efforts?"
Old Man spoke slowly, then tremblingly stood up with a cane. He tried hard to lift his hand that was already full of age spots, and made Reserve Corps's signature salute. "Veteran Zhao De, I have seen Elder Yu."
Yu Sheng looked at this scene with a slightly dull expression.
In just one day, a hole seemed to have been quietly opened in his heart, and then, one after another, human emotions and emotions rushed into Yu Sheng's heart like crazy, catching him off guard, causing everything he saw now to be new.
Every perception is something I have never had before.
When he was in the Ink Academy, although he also traveled to Mortal World for half a year, he saw and listened with the purpose of learning to smile.
But deep down, the idea of Mortal World is not really integrated into it.
So in those six months, although he was in Mortal World, he was not contaminated by dust.
And now...
He resolutely walked into Mortal World. He was covered in mud and looked a little messy, but he was enjoying it.
In the end, Yu Sheng did not interrupt the veteran's ceremony, but looked at it with slightly complicated eyes, and then followed Old Man to the village.
After seeing Yu Sheng, Old Man who could still stand stood up one after another and saluted Yu Sheng with firm eyes.
"Liu Qingfeng, teach you this disciple..."
"I will have no regrets in this life!"
The one-eyed Old Man looked at the figure of Yu Sheng with a little emotion. He recalled the scene when Yu Sheng was still a little guy with a weird temper and was dragged here by Liu Qingfeng, and spoke softly.
"I want..."
"Go and see him."
Yu Sheng lowered his head slightly.
"Hmm."
"You know where it is."
After hearing what Yu Sheng said, the one-eyed Old Man nodded with satisfaction and sat aside.
To Yu Sheng, the gift cannot be discarded!
But after the ceremony, he was still an elder, and towards Yu Sheng, he still had the mentality of watching the younger generations grow up.
"Hmm."
Yu Sheng nodded slightly, and then followed the path in Veterans' Camp, passing through it very familiarly, and came to a field full of flowers.
Pieces of Gravestone are scattered in the sea of flowers, with birds chirping and butterflies flying from time to time.
"Well..."
"I am now Pavilion Master of the Ink Pavilion..."
"I killed a lot too...Demon Beast."
"The meritorious service is also of the highest level."
"That's it..."
Yu Sheng sat in front of Liu Qingfeng's Gravestone and spoke softly, with a slight pause in his voice. He opened Backpack and took out a somewhat shabby but neat schoolbag inside. "That's it... it's a little broken."
After saying that, Yu Sheng carefully put away his schoolbag again, fell it into the grass aside, and looked at the sky.
At this moment, Yu Sheng's brain was completely empty and he no longer thought about any problems.
Or maybe, he can only feel a moment of tranquility when he is next to Liu Qingfeng.
I don't know how long it took, but Yu Sheng fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, the sky was full of stars.
"Teacher..."
"My path... what exactly is it..."
"How do I go..."
Yu Sheng turned his head, looked at Gravestone beside him, and asked softly.
The breeze blew by, and a flower in front of Gravestone swayed gently, but unfortunately, Liu Qingfeng could no longer give Yu Sheng the answer to this question.
"I once..."
"At Sin City, I just want to get out alive."
"Later, I did it."
"Later, I also fulfilled all the wishes on my wish list..."
"And now..."
"I really don't know what else I want to do."
"Even if..."
"I will die tomorrow and there will be nothing to regret."
Yu Sheng looked at the starry sky and talked to himself.
He had never told anyone these things, nor did he want to, but at this moment, facing a deceased person, his mentor Teacher, Yu Sheng finally opened his heart and kept talking about his troubles.
The night between Fields is completely silent.
Only a gentle breeze blows from time to time.
And a former boy...
The truest voice.
