"Everyone must go through hardships, if he..." He wanted to say that if he couldn’t co back, he would also be powerless.
"We will do our utmost to save him, we will never give up on him. Youyou, I might go out tomorrow and if Xuyao doesn’t co back for a while, I might frequently go out. Before leaving Beijing, I said once we have our new ho, we will never be separated again. I’m sorry, I broke my promise!"
Gu Youyou’s eyes welled up again, nodding, she said: "We will never give up on him, we will look together!"
They were people striving to survive in the cracks, perhaps too greedy, having one child and wanting two, three, even dreaming of a house full of children and grandchildren.
Is it really that easy to form a perfect family?
When the moon is full, it will wane; days were too perfect, so heaven beca jealous...
...
Fifteen years later
"Dad, are you going out to find brother again?"
Zijin, now middle-aged, still looked very young, although white hairs sprouted at his temples, adding an air of lancholy. Just like Yu Jizi and Tian Jizi years ago, no matter how young they looked, their hair would turn white.
Fifteen-year-old Jin Luoyin had grown into a graceful young lady, it was early spring again, just after the New Year, and the plum blossoms in the valley were blooming splendidly. Zijin packed his bags, ready to leave again.
Each year, he went out several tis, ranging from a few days to several months.
Jin Luoyin had gotten used to her father frequently going out for work.
"There’s news of your brother from the north, whether it’s true or not, I have to go see!" Zijin explained to him patiently.
Gu Youyou stood under a plum tree not far away, waved her hand to him.
Zijin, holding his horse in the snow, also waved his hand.
"Go back, I’ll be back soon!"
Every ti before leaving, he said the sa thing.
He’s no longer young, yet still works tirelessly, because Jin Xuyao hasn’t been found yet, he always needs to run around.
Over the years, he visited nearly everyone who might know the Disguise Technique, yet none was Fu Jian.
"Dad, will Uncle Lun Yu also go with you?"
"Of course, they’re waiting for in Qingshui Town!"
In order to discern the Disguise Technique, one needs experts in this skill, so often it wasn’t only Jin Zijin running around, but also Lun Yu and Yi Yan.
After Lun Tong died, he married his favorite female disciple to his son, and now this couple, used to swapping identities, also beca regulars at the Ningwang Residence.
Jin Luoyin stopped talking, chased her father’s horse for a while, then stopped, watching the road leading to the outside world until the sound of hooves disappeared, and the figure vanished in the snowstorm.
Gu Youyou turned around and went back into the house, into the study, picked up the ledger as usual.
To have enough people work for her, she must have enough money to buy their loyalty.
Whether now or in the future, to find the lost children, a huge amount of money must be spent.
Jin Luoyin watched her already not so young parents with growing worry, standing silently in the snowstorm.
Searcy looked at her and said slowly, "Haven’t you gotten used to it after all these years? As long as there’s no news that your brother has died, they have to keep searching."
Jin Luoyin looked back at Searcy and said, "Aunt, Erniu’s father in the village is the sa age as my dad, and he no longer does much farm work, just so light tasks like herding cattle, but my dad still has to toil outside year after year. When will he be able to stop and rest?"
