“70 years… It’s been 70 years…”

In the withered peach blossom forest, the stooped old man looked at the desert in the distance.

Her voice was full of expectation, but also full of helplessness.

It has been 70 years. Almost every year today, in this season of peach blossoms, she will come here, looking at the direction where the figure left.

It’s just that after waiting for so many years, that person still hasn’t come back, and that voice still hasn’t appeared.

She is ninety-two years old this year, and the little girl she used to be has already married and married, with a lot of children and grandchildren.

It’s a pity that the old man is still looking forward to that person’s return, waiting for that voice to appear.

Tell her that he is back…

But the old man knew that this was her extravagant wish.

Wang Wang…

But at this moment, a barking sound came from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, an old dog covered in pitch black shuttled through the peach forest, and quickly came to the old man’s side.

“Xiao Hei, you… where did you go?”

The old man stretched out his almost skinny hand, and gently stroked the old dog’s hair.

This dog has been with her for 25 years. It is a descendant of Dahei left by that person, and has continued the bloodline for several generations.

Seeing this old dog, the old man seemed to see Dahei back then,

It’s a pity that the time has passed by for decades, and Dahei has already been buried in this peach grove.

One after another, the mountain graves are not far from the old man,

Like a reincarnation,

Among Dahei’s descendants, there will be a little guy covered in pitch black in every generation.

And every time, the old man would choose to keep it and name it after Hei.

Dahei, Erhei, Heizi, Heihuang, Heizi…

From the end to the present Xiao Hei,

And these little guys are very smart and full of spirituality,

In the vernacular of the countryside, they all belong to the king of dogs, and even their tongues are black.

Some people call them Wuhei dogs, while others call them Qixing dogs.

Because every time a black dog is born, they will have their own brothers and sisters, no more, no less, including the black dog, a total of seven.

And put them together, every time the black dog lay on the top position, like the king of dogs.

“woo woo woo woo……”

After the old dog came to the old man, he kept whimpering.

The old man smiled, “Xiao Hei, I’ve lived to be 92 this year, so you don’t have to worry about me…”

Except for the little obsession in his heart, the old man has almost completely disregarded it.

“woo woo woo woo……”

Then the old dog barked twice more, as if talking to the old man.

One person and one dog have lived together for more than 20 years, and the old man, like Su Bei, seems to have realized a certain way to communicate with the old dog.

She looked at the old dog, and then slowly looked at the distant desert.

“Xiao Hei, I don’t have much time. I just want to take a good look at that place before leaving. Although I know he won’t come back, I still can’t help looking forward to it…”

“70 years… How many 70 years are there in life? You said you asked me to wait for you for 7 years, and you will definitely come back safely after 7 years. One 7 years have passed, and two 7 years have passed…”

“Ten seven years have passed by now. Why are you still not coming back? Could it be that you have forgotten me? Or will you never come back?”

The old man slowly sat down on the sand. Her body was getting weaker and weaker.

At this time yesterday, the old man seemed to feel that the time limit here was approaching.

But she still has unfinished obsessions in her heart, so she came to this peach forest in the desert alone with the old dog…

Waiting for a day and a night, even the low temperature at night, still failed to stop the old man’s determination.

She knew that her time was running out, and she also knew that the peach blossom season had come.

And it happened to be the 7-year agreement between her and that person.

It’s just that last night, the old man almost caused his old problems because the temperature in the desert was too low, so he went straight away.

That’s why the old dog hurried towards the Taoist temple at that timeRunning in the direction, hoping to ask the old Taoist inside for help…

“Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, layman, you are too persistent. Since you already know that he will not come back, why do you have to wait here for decades?”

Just when the old man was sitting in the sand, leaning against a peach tree,

Su Bei finally couldn’t help but speak.

“Little master? Is it you?”

After hearing the voice, the old man turned his head and glanced in that direction.

A not tall figure was standing in the sand of the peach forest.

The snow-white Daoist gown moves without wind, and a slightly delicate whisk shakes slightly in his hand.

“Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, it is the poor way…”

Su Bei nodded, and at the same time moved his feet, walking towards the old man.

“You don’t understand, even though I know he’s not coming back, I still can’t help but look forward to seeing him again…”

“He once said back then that even if he died outside, he would still come back to me. Even if he lived only in my dream forever, he would come back to me…”

The old man couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Looking at the peach blossom forest under the trees, she seemed to have returned to the day when that person left…

The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the wind and sand were blocked from this peach forest.

But since the first 7 years have passed, this peach grove has withered silently.

No matter how many seven years it has been, this peach grove has never bloomed again.

“Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, although the poor way is small, but the feeling of longing is also clear, but the layman must understand that cherishing the present is the best memory of the past…”

Su Bei was a little touched. He naturally understood the old man’s thoughts.

This is an inseparable feeling, just like an old Taoist priest,

After Jingxuan was swept away by the tornado, he was devastated for many years, until he met him…

However, Su Bei still often saw the old Taoist priest looking at the desert outside the Taoist temple, secretly wiping away tears from time to time.

Even sometimes, Su Bei would have a little nostalgia for the former Taoist temple, master, and even his brothers.

But he sees it very openly and thinks very clearly.

So what if I miss it? Could he go back again?

Obviously, this is no longer possible.

“Thank you, little master, for your guidance. It’s just that the old woman has nothing else to ask for, she just wants to wait for him here quietly…”

“I believe in him, he will definitely come back…”

The belief in the old man’s heart remained unshakable, and he even looked very firmly at the desert in the distance.

She wants to wait there, no matter how many seven years have passed, she will continue to wait.

As long as he never comes back, she will stay here and never leave.

It’s just that the old man didn’t pay attention. When she was talking,

A colorful butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew towards her…
