Chapter 1106 Extra 2: New World, New Beginning
Gu Yan picked up Xiaojiu and walked up the mountain.
There are steps built on the mountain leading directly to the top of the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, Xiaojiu saw a few words carved on the big stone next to it, and there were red lines painted with cinnabar.
Xiaojiu couldn't recognize the words, but he vaguely felt that one of the words seemed a bit similar to the words his father often wrote on paper.
There are dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, and the shadows of leaves fall on the steps.
Looking at the dark and quiet environment around her, Xiao Jiu felt a little uneasy and shrank back into Gu Yan's arms.
"Xiao Jiu, don't be afraid, this is the location of the Gu family's ancestral temple." Gu Yan patted Xiao Jiu's back gently with his hand as he walked.
"Gu family members of all generations will be buried here after death, so don't be afraid, this is also Xiaojiu's home."
Home?
Xiao Jiu listened in a daze, but after hearing that this place was also home, the fear in her heart subsided a little.
The two entered an ancestral hall.
Xiao Jiu stared blankly at the various tablets placed inside, and couldn't help but get a little closer to Gu Yan.
"Go over there." Gu Yan put Xiao Jiu down: "Go and offer a stick of incense to our ancestors."
Xiaojiu looked at Gu Yan, saw that the other party signaled again, and then walked towards the incense burner.
There was a stool to get on over the incense burner. Xiaojiu stepped on the stool and reached out to get the incense.
The incense candle lit next to it gave rise to a trace of white smoke.
Xiao Jiu sniffed and felt that her eyes were a little blurry, so she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Jiu was suddenly stunned.
"Dad...dad!"
Xiao Jiu suddenly shouted and pointed to a certain place in the air with some excitement.
"That...that..."
Xiao Jiu wanted to say something, but couldn't. He had to turn his head and look around. Without him noticing, a trace of purple light flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to see a lot of people.
But Xiaojiu inexplicably didn't feel scared, and instead felt very close to her.
It seemed like... another one floated over and touched his head.
Gu Yan came over and said, "Xiaojiu, call me dad again."
Xiaojiu obediently called out again: "Dad~"
"Well, dad is here." Gu Yan picked up Xiaojiu and spoke softly.
Xiaojiu tilted his head. He vaguely felt that his father seemed to be very happy, but he didn't understand why his father was happy.
After finishing the incense, Gu Yan said to Xiaojiu: "Xiaojiu, say goodbye to our ancestors."
"Okay~"
Xiaojiu turned around, looking at the tablets with big eyes, and said in a soft and crisp voice: "Ancestor, Xiaojiu and dad are leaving first. I will come to visit you with dad again in the future."
As he said that, Xiaojiu waved his little hand.
The door of the ancestral hall automatically shook without any wind, as if in response.
After Gu Yan left the ancestral hall with Xiaojiu in his arms, he walked all the way down the mountain.
"Dad, what is that?"
"Dad, this flower is so beautiful."
"dad……"
"..."
On the way down the mountain, Xiao Jiu kept talking, as if he suddenly opened up his chat box. Everything he saw aroused his curiosity, and he excitedly shared it with Gu Yan.
Gu Yan responded patiently to Xiaojiu every time.
After returning to the car, Gu Yan originally wanted to go home directly.
However, seeing Xiao Jiu clinging to the car window, looking curiously at the scenery outside, Gu Yan suddenly changed his mind:
"Xiaojiu, do you want to go to the amusement park?"
"Amusement park? That, what, what?" Xiaojiu turned his head, blinking, with a curious look on his face.
Gu Yan explained: "It is a place where many children like Xiaojiu like to go. There are many fun big toys."
"Wow~"
Hearing the word 'toy', Xiaojiu immediately became excited and raised his little hands: "Xiaojiu is going to the amusement park! Can daddy accompany Xiaojiu to the amusement park?"
With that said, Xiaojiu put her little face against Gu Yan's and rubbed it coquettishly.
"Okay." Gu Yan raised his hand and rubbed Xiaojiu's head.
Xiao Jiu immediately beamed: "Okay~"
"..."
Half an hour later.
The two people, one large and one small, entered the playground.
Gu Yan accompanied Xiaojiu to play with various playground facilities. During this period, the smile on Xiaojiu's face never disappeared.
"Dad, you still want to play with that!"
"That one looks fun, Xiaojiu wants to play that one too..."
"..."
After playing for almost two hours, Xiaojiu was tired and sleepy no matter how energetic she was.
The sleepy Xiaojiu nestled in his father's arms, made fists with his hands, rubbed his eyes, and then slowly fell asleep.
"Dad... will come to play next time... with mom..."
Gu Yan heard Xiaojiu's muttering and smiled silently.
He carried the child back to the car and went home.
…
In the next month, after Gu Yan finished his work, he took Xiaojiu to the playground, aquarium, circus...all kinds of fun places.
one day.
Xiaojiu wants to play in the amusement park again.
On the way, Gu Yan had something to do and asked the accompanying bodyguards to take care of him.
Xiaojiu was sitting on a chair, holding a small rubber ball that he had just bought.
While playing, the ball accidentally flew out.
Xiao Jiu saw this and subconsciously followed to find the ball.
There were a lot of people in the amusement park. When the two bodyguards saw the young master running away, they quickly followed him.
"Young master, let's help you get the ball." Two bodyguards stood around Xiao Jiu to prevent people around him from hitting Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu stared at the little rubber ball rolling on the ground, and finally rolled all the way to the feet of an eight or nine-year-old boy.
The little boy was carrying a heavy flower basket with many flowers on it. It was obvious that he was selling flowers here.
Xiaojiu came over and said timidly: "Brother...brother, that...my..."
The little boy asked in confusion: "What can you do?"
"I...I'm looking for the ball~" Xiaojiu said, poking the little boy's feet with his finger.
The little boy looked down and saw the little ball, so he bent down and picked up the ball.
"Is that that one?"
Xiaojiu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this is it!"
The little boy handed the little ball to Xiao Jiu.
"Thank you, brother~" Xiaojiu said thank you in a crisp voice after getting the ball.
Originally, Xiaojiu was a little scared when she went to get the ball and took the initiative to talk to the strange boy.
but……
The brother returned Xiaojiu's ball to him.
Xiaojiu suddenly wasn't so scared anymore.
Just when the little boy was about to say something, he saw Xiao Jiu suddenly look in one direction and said with surprise: "Dad!"
When the little boy saw that nothing happened, he was ready to leave.
Xiao Jiu was just about to introduce his new brother to his father. When he turned around and saw the little boy leaving, he quickly shouted:
"Brother, what's your name? My name is Xiaojiu."
"Brother, where is your home? Can Xiaojiu come and play with you?"
The little boy looked at the harmonious father and son opposite, his eyes a little dim. After hearing Xiao Jiu's words, he shook his head slightly: "My name is Qi Bubai."
"As for my home... I may move in a few days, so you don't have to come to me."
After saying that, the little boy turned and left.
"elder brother……"
Xiaojiu was a little confused.
Why did my brother move?
Isn't my brother's home always in the same place? Or is it like Xiaojiu, with two homes?
Gu Yan looked at the little boy leaving, lowered his head and picked up the somewhat depressed Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, do you want to make friends with that brother?"
Xiaojiu didn't understand: "Making friends? What is that?"
Xiaojiu just felt like the elder brother just now...
Very gentle and friendly.
Just like mom.
"You and that friend play with building blocks together, play with robots, go to the amusement park to play bumper cars together, and go to the aquarium to see fish together." Gu Yan tried his best to describe it in language that Xiaojiu could understand.
"Xiaojiu, do you want to have one more friend to play with?"
Xiaojiu fantasized about the situations her father mentioned, and then nodded: "I think so!"
"Well."
Gu Yan touched Xiaojiu's head: "Dad will find someone to inquire about that brother and see if he is willing to play with Xiaojiu."
"Okay~Thank you, Dad~"
Hiss... I missed a part of the plot, but I've already made it up.
