Ronin: Start with the cotton

Chapter 449 The Return
Summer is gone and winter is coming, everything is revived, and spring is full of vitality.

It's a new year in a flash.

2018, spring.

The willow branches fluttered with the wind, and a few swallows passed by the river, and soon disappeared.

Next to the river bank, the driveway flows continuously.

A modified fire truck was particularly conspicuous among the traffic.

On this day, Qiao Shan and Ding Jianguo returned to this small northern city after leaving Ji'an for nearly a year.

……

rock park.

Hu Liang was sitting on the steps, holding a guitar in his hand, wearing a peaked cap, and humming lightly. Beside him, a circle of six or seven-year-old children sat around.

"crunch..."

The sound of brakes caught Hu Liang's attention. He casually raised his head and glanced at the side of the road, then froze.

Qiao Shan and Ding Jianguo got out of the car and stood side by side at the intersection,

He looked at Hu Liang with a smile.

Hu Liang handed the guitar to the children beside him, without thinking about what to say, he quickly ran towards Qiao Shan, and then... rushed to the fire truck.

"My concubine..."

……

"You two don't count! Didn't you say that the rock park was renovated and you came back? It's been almost a year! I thought you ran away with my car and never came back!" Hu Liang stared. .

Qiao Shan smiled and said, "How come..."

He looked at Rock Park, next to the big guitar, there were two new big guitars that had been newly erected.

After the renovation, Rock Park has expanded a lot.

And on the three big guitars, the original big guitar has the name [Broken Guitar Band] printed on it, while the new guitar to the left of the big guitar has the [Sewing Machine Band] logo printed on it.

As for the big guitar on the right, where the logo should have been printed, it was blank.

Past, present, future.

That big guitar was reserved for the descendants of Ji'an.

One day, there will be a new band that will reawaken rock and roll.

Then it is eligible to leave its own name.

……

……

"What, are you still leaving?"

"Ah."

Qiao Shan nodded, and said: "In the past six months, Jianguo and I drove your car to many places, thinking that we haven't seen you for a long time, so we came back to have a look, and then we will continue to walk... In addition, , when you come back this time, you can transfer this car to me, it has been driving for more than half a year, and I have feelings."

Hu Liang wanted to cry but had no tears: "The car is the lover, you are trying to rob my wife!"

Qiao Shan patted Hu Liang on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Your wife is awesome!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Hu Liang patted Qiao Shan's hand off, pulled him into the car, and said, "If you want a car, don't rush to leave, stay for a few more days and have a good drink with everyone. Come on, let's sing again!"

Qiao Shan and Ding Jianguo looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Okay!"

Ding Jianguo said: "It just so happens that I haven't been home for a long time, my dad will definitely let me stay for a few more days."

"Hey! That's right!"

Hu Liang took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, started the car, and said with emotion: "I haven't touched it for half a year, so I must let me drive it today!"

"Okay! You drive! You drive!" Qiao Shan smiled helplessly.

Hu Liang smiled happily: "By the way, do you know what Gong Ge is doing recently? He has formed another group, and he also plays rock and roll. There are three young guys, dressed in either red or green. The name is [Traffic Light Band]. Fire……"

Talking and laughing, the car slowly drove towards the garage...

……

ten minutes later.

Hu Liang got out of the car with a resentful expression on his face: "I don't have any hand feeling at all, this car has completely changed into your shape!"

Qiao Shan laughed when he heard that.

It's not just your car, he looked at Ding Jianguo.

Ding Jianguo rolled his eyes at him, thinking of all the games the two of them had played in this car over the past six months, he felt ashamed and annoyed.

Over the next few days, the Sewing Machines reunited again for another concert.

This time, it was even more prosperous than ever before!

……

……

After the performance, it was hot pot and drinking again, this time there were no unexpected guests.

Everyone has been drinking from late at night until the sky is slightly bright.

Hu Liang was already drunk, holding a tire in his arms and kept shouting: "Get dry!"

Cheng Gong came to Qiao Shan's side and asked, "Leaving again?"

Qiao Shan nodded: "It's already dawn, it's time to go..."

Cheng Gong said: "I know that you young couple like to wander around the world, so I won't keep you, but when you pass by the capital in the future, remember to come and sit with me."

"Okay." Qiao Shan smiled.

When Chen Gong went back, Qiao Meixi came over, raised her head and pursed her mouth: "Uncle Xiaoshan, take me with you."

Qiao Shan froze for a moment: "Why?"

Qiao Meixi said pitifully: "Mom said that the family is rich, I can play music, but I also need to have other hobbies and interests, and I can't leave behind my studies, so I enrolled in several interest classes and tutoring classes..."

Qiao Shan immediately felt sympathetic: "It's so pitiful..."

Qiao Meixi's eyes widened in shock: "Why are you laughing?!"

Qiao Shan: "I didn't laugh..."

"You're just laughing! You're laughing at me!"

"I didn't, I sympathize with you!"

"Then you take me away!"

"I don't bring..."

"Oh, Aunt Ding, look at him!" Qiao Meixi was unhappy, and complained coquettishly while hugging Ding Jianguo's arm.

Ding Jianguo turned pale with shock: "What did you call me?"

What a damn name!

……

On the road again.

Facing the direction of the rising sun, Ding Jianguo tilted his head on the fire truck, staring at Qiao Shan's side face endlessly, with a sense of happiness in his brows and eyes.

"Where are we going this time?"

With the steering wheel in his hand, Qiao Shan looked ahead with a smile on his lips: "Climb the mountains, swim the sea, witness wars and artillery fire, and go to every corner of the world..."

"Let's get to know the world!"

Ding Jianguo followed Qiao Shan's gaze and looked forward. Facing the morning sun, he seemed to see two people wearing thick mountaineering suits climbing up Mount Everest. In a daze, the picture became two people again. Shuttle under the artillery fire of foreign wars...

……

……

Time flows gently through everyone's body, taking away years and regrets, leaving behind memories and a light kiss.

I don't know how long it took.

Ding Jianguo woke up from his sleep again, got out of bed, opened the window, and looked at the outside world.

She dreamed of the day when she and Qiao Shan set off against the dawn again.

……

Mengguifang Hotel.

An ancient hotel from a century ago, located in a cyberpunk city, seemed so out of place.

Only this time, no new developer came to force the demolition.

……

The eyes of human beings are no longer on the small earth. About a few decades ago, science and technology ushered in a new explosion, and human beings discovered a new livable planet in the universe. The above is just a drop in the ocean.

Therefore, the earth is like an old building abandoned by the times, and also abandoned by human beings.

Hundreds of years of industrialization in modern times have exhausted the resources and frantically adopted them.

The vitality of the earth has long been exhausted.

The last great migration in the world ended yesterday. Except for a very small number of old people and nostalgic people who refused to leave, everyone went to the other side of deep space.

The world is barren.

……

The door was gently pushed open, and footsteps sounded behind him.

A pair of arms hugged her from behind.

"The sleeping time has been getting longer and longer recently, and my life seems to be really coming to an end..."

"Although I don't know what method you used, but an old woman who has lived for more than 160 years is still as beautiful as when she was young, and she always feels the same as the old witch in fairy tales."

Ding Jianguo leaned lightly on Qiao Shan: "This world is getting old, and I am actually getting old too... It's actually quite romantic to be able to end with the world."

"But I still miss you."

She said with emotion: "Time flies too fast..."

Qiao Shan hugged a little harder, resting his chin on the woman's shoulder, and said softly:
"The world is not old, and neither are you."

"Believe what I said, those who stay behind will start a new era and be reborn together with the earth. At that time, I will come back to wake you up, and you will become the hostess of this world."

The world is not dead.

Ding Jianguo will not die either.

The earth is in a cocoon, and one day, she will break out of the cocoon and be reborn together with this world.

……

Ding Jianguo gradually closed his eyes: "If there is such a day...I want you...to kiss me awake..."

She fell asleep again.

This time, he won't wake up again for a short time.

Qiao Shan gently picked her up, put her on the big bed, leaned over, and kissed her forehead.

"When this world wakes up, I will come back and wait for me."

……

real world.

Qiao Shan stood in the courtyard, rubbing the heavenly book in his hand.

He didn't look at the evaluation and rewards this time, but just looked up at the starry sky at night and murmured:

"Tianshu, I seem to know what you are..."

After the three-star authority, the secrets of the heavenly book were gradually revealed in front of him.

He suddenly discovered that the Heavenly Book was related to every world he experienced. This time, he used the Heavenly Book to bind Ding Jianguo from an ordinary person to that world.

One day, he will go back.

Just like a prince in a fairy tale, he would kiss the sleeping princess to wake him up, and then give her the whole world as a gift.

"Passing through your whole world..."

"Actually, no matter what your purpose is, I have to thank you..."
