aculously, as if by magic, becoming slightly larger than before."Aunt, look, it's grown larger." Ye Fan exclaimed in astonishment. His hands moved like a pianist, lightly playing the most delightful p...Ye Wudao shook his head, watching the girl. At fourteen years old, her intelligence was only that of a four or five-year-old, yet she possessed an extraordinary talent for martial arts. This time out, he couldn't have left her behind in Lishan. Heaven knows what kind of trouble she would have gotten into. Thinking about the girl's origins, Ye Wudao couldn't help but sigh.
"Silly girl, let's go, Grandpa doesn't have much time left."
"Oh." The little girl listened to her grandfather's words and happily giggled, holding Ye Fan's hand.
The fat man and Ye Fan saw this sister, but they both felt a little sad. She was born with an intellectual disability, and her intelligence remained at that of a four-and-a-half-year-old child for her entire life…
Ye Wudao suddenly stopped, thoughtfully turned his head, and saw a few flickering figures. He said softly, "Let's go." Then he continued on.
Fatty Ye Fan understood immediately, got into his Buick, and stepped on the gas pedal, leaving in a cloud of dust.
As they drove out, several Mercedes-Benz cars followed behind. But when the Mercedes-Benz cars drove out of the airport gate, there was no sign of the Chevrolet car anywhere.
Ye Shouyi in the Mercedes-Benz looked at the empty street ahead and said doubtfully: "Just now I clearly saw them leave from here, how come they disappeared in the blink of an eye"
Yang Li next to her also said curiously: "Yes, there are so many people here, they couldn't possibly be driving a flying car. I think we must have been mistaken."
"Could it be I was seeing things" Ye Shouyi immediately said, "Turn back quickly and keep a close eye on the airport. Don't let any suspicious person slip through!"
Several underlings immediately replied, "Yes! Then they arranged for people to go."
With Ye Fan's driving skills, it wasn't a difficult task to shake off these tailgaters. He drove leisurely on the highway, while the foolish girl who had been following him seemed very tired and leaned against Ye Fan, actually falling asleep. Ye Fan pitifully shifted his body slightly to make it more comfortable for the foolish girl to sleep, while he casually held onto the steering wheel.
The fat man in the backseat was munching on chicken legs one after another, seemingly indifferent to what was happening around him.
While Ye Wudao looked out the window with eager eyes, his mind constantly replayed scenes from the past. Twenty years had passed, and indeed, Beijing had undergone tremendous changes...
No one in the car spoke. Ye Fan knew this was the moment when Old Man felt the most deeply, he must be reminiscing about his glorious past, a period that was undoubtedly the most unforgettable of his life. He didn't want to, nor did he have the power to disturb an old man's contemplation of the past.
After driving for about half an hour, Ye Wudao suddenly said in a low voice: "The carved railings and jade-like clarity should still be there, but the vermilion face has changed. There's nothing interesting about looking at the scenery of Yanjing anymore. I'm tired, take me to rest."
"Grandpa, come to my place" The Fatty hesitated and asked. Since he was a child, he had been instructed by Ye WuDao, so his skills were so good. It could be said that he had long regarded Ye WuDao as his own grandpa.
Ye Wudao shook his head and said, "I want to go see Yuxin Lake."
Yuxin Lake carried many of Ye Wudao's past events. Whenever he was disappointed in Yanjing, he would go to Yuxin Lake for a while, and he was usually accompanied by his beloved women. Over time, Yuxin Lake became a peaceful place in his heart.
Ye Fan remained silent. He knew a little about the old man's romantic past. In this regard, he had inherited his grandfather's genes to the fullest. However, compared to his grandfather's exploits that once captivated the hearts of beautiful women from prominent families in Beijing, Ye Fan was far behind.
Yangxin Lake is located in a secluded place on the west outskirts of Yanjing City. The water is crystal clear and pleasant, with fish swimming back and forth from time to time. It is indeed a good place for calming the mind and nourishing one's qi.
On the edge of a lake, stood a two-story detached house quietly. Its windows and doors were tightly locked, and the lock on the gate was already rusted, obviously no one had been here for a long time.
Ye Wudao fished out a rusted key chain from his clothes, trembling hands fumbling with it.
Ye Fan and Fatty were watching silently, neither of them spoke. Silly Girl looked at her grandfather strangely, she didn't understand what he was doing.
Finally, it clicked open with a satisfying snap!
A lock from twenty years ago was actually opened with a key from twenty years ago!
The door swung open, and a heavy scent of earth and dust rushed in. The inside was already coated with grime.
Ye Wudao trembled, as if he himself hadn't expected that the moment the lock opened, he was already covered in a stream of blood...
"Grandpa, what's wrong Are you not feeling well" Silly Girl asked her grandpa strangely. Why was Grandpa crying
"Grandpa's gone blind from sand." The fatty said to the silly girl.
"Take the silly girl out, I want to be alone for a while. If my old friend comes, bring him to me." After saying this, Ye Wudao's entire body seemed to stoop slightly, then he slowly walked into the house.
Ye Fan's heart trembled slightly. He seemed to see the old man's back was hunched...
The fat man and Ye Fan were smoking, chatting sporadically. In their impression, the old man always seemed carefree and indifferent to everything. Actually, he was a very sentimental person. His current state of distress clearly showed that there must be many untold stories behind him.
The silly girl was fishing alone in the lake, splashing water every now and then. Every time she caught a fish, she would giggle with delight.
She was completely lost in her own joy!
"What do you think she's thinking about" The fat man looked at the silly girl, as happy as a little sparrow, and said to Ye Fan.
"Perhaps she doesn't even know what worry is. Her world has always only been filled with joy. In that sense, we are not as open-minded as her." Ye Fan seemed to have gained some insight.
"That's right, because she thinks less, she is happy." The fat man also sighed with emotion. Their generation, Ye Fan and the Dragon Girl, were all subjected to rigorous training since childhood, enduring torture that ordinary people couldn't bear every day. From a young age, they lost this carefree innocence, and now the fat man even felt a little envious of the silly girl.
"Ye Fan replied calmly: 'Everyone has their own rules of the game. Her world is full of happiness, innocence, sunshine, and hope, because she desires nothing. But we, are destined to never have her kind of innocence and freedom. Our families, our countries, have given us too many missions...' "
These two men, who had never known sorrow, at this moment, were both unconsciously a little dazed. All they could do was try their best to protect this innocence that they yearned for but couldn't reach, to let the silly girl live happily in her own world. They had the responsibility and obligation to do so, because she was their sister., shaking his head and saying, "I have no interest in taking a monster as my master. Besides, you're old bones, I think you only have a few more years left to live. Why not enjoy your retirement peace...
