When we arrived at Kensho Uehara’s small ranch, the sun in the sky was gradually setting in the west.

Several simple wooden houses are located on a hillside covered with grass.

Hundreds of grazing cows are grazing on the hillside, and about 10 cows are also pouting at the grass leisurely.

An old man and two obviously hired workers were milking the milk.

Shota Maruyama’s chubby body squeezed open the gate first and shouted to the old man on the hillside:”Uncle Jianxiang, we are here to see you.”

“Who?”

Kensho Uehara put down his work and stood up slowly, carrying a wooden bucket filled with milk. He squinted his eyes and looked at the person.

When he saw the round body with obvious features, he suddenly said:”It turns out to be a little boy. Shota, come in quickly. The wind blew you out.”

“Haha, given my size, it would probably take a powerful tornado.”

“That really requires a tornado. It’s rare that someone like you who hasn’t been out for a long time still remembers that I like Qingmu tea.”

“The little girl is here too?”

“Yes, is the old man in good health? My brother knows that there is a ranch here and has been clamoring to come and see the cows, isn’t this? Brought him here with me.”

Uchiha Suzune smiled and took the barrel from Uehara Kensho’s hand and helped him carry it.

“Okay, okay, come and spend more time with this old man like me. Seeing you full of vigor and vitality, I always feel that I am a few years younger.”

Kensho Uehara responded cheerfully. His voice sounded a little leaky through Lingding’s teeth.

“Grandpa, let me milk the cow for you.”

Uchiha Makoto saw the two staff milking the cows and seemed”eager to give it a try””

“Brother, don’t cause trouble. If you dare to move, I won’t take you here again.”

“Out of the way, out of the way. Cows are relatively docile and will not hurt people easily. How about I get you some glasses of fresh milk?”

“No need, old man, we just drank a lot at Uncle Xiangtai’s place”

……

Later, Uchiha Suzune went to masturbate with Shota.

Uchiha Makoto just ran around and occasionally chatted with the elderly.

The old man had no time to spare, so he went to work together again after a while.

As evening approached, Kensho Uehara drove the cattle into the pen step by step.

Although the body is still very stable, the steps are indeed a little wobbly.

There seems to be a special rhythm in the deep and shallow footsteps. It seems slow, but it can always stop the cattle at the right turning point.

The shouts made the cattle enter the cattle pen one by one in a calm and orderly manner.

The wrinkled skin on the old man’s face was stacked together like the bark of a dying tree. The speckled age spots highlight the twilight-like air of death.

However, the movements were very coordinated, and the distance between each step, which seemed to be hobbled by joint pain, was exactly the same.

There is no tremor in the body due to lack of coordination in the legs and feet like other old people. It’s like forcing yourself to form a faltering habit. It’s not because of the pain or the instinct of weakness.

This scene clearly fell into the eyes of Uchiha Makoto, who was looking for crickets in the grass ten meters away. Two magatama were slowly rotating in his red eyes.

There was another brilliant setting sun in the distance, breaking through the surrounding clouds, leaving a circle of golden and red brilliance in the world.

The red sunset is like the most beautiful train in the world, trying its best to absorb the last afterglow of the red sun.

This reminded Uchiha Makoto of a long time ago, a year ago. It feels like it has been a long time, like in a hazy dream, and it is also such a picturesque evening.

That time the young girl’s beautiful red hair complemented the sunset.

That was the first time Uchiha Makoto killed someone, the first time he killed a slightly famous Jonin.

……

After the old man drove the cattle into the pen, he wanted to reward several visitors.

Then he slowly went to the wooden house to make toast and hot milk.

Slowly, the fire was lit, and the milk was carefully divided into jars. Serious expression and skillful movements

“Grandpa, have you always lived alone?”

Uchiha Makoto took some white bread and put it on the oven

“Yes, after decades, I have already become accustomed to living alone. With so many cattle accompanying me, I don’t feel lonely at all.”

“So, have your feet been injured before? Walking with a limp”

“Yes, I caught a cold when I was young. This is why I get gout in my old age.”

“oh! I thought you were just like me, imitating other people’s walking for fun. No matter whether it’s uphill or flat, the steps are the same. The old man’s focused eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he touched his legs and feet expressionlessly:”Yes, when people get old, they forget many things.”

I forgot that my legs and feet had been hurt for a long time before, and I also forgot that I didn’t know when my legs and feet would be healed.

But I still keep my old habits, just to not let myself forget to be grateful, forget my mission, and forget who gave me such a wonderful life! Konoha is such a peaceful place.”

Winds of smoke rose from the house on the hillside, giving the place a little more poetic charm.

A shout that dinner was ready made Suzuyin and others stop their work and walk into the room together to taste the most serious meal the old man had ever made. Dinner.

Then Uchiha Makoto, Suzune, and Shouta followed the ranch staff and took advantage of the last ray of sunset to quickly drive away in the ranch’s carriage.

“Grandpa, it’s so much fun here, let’s come back tomorrow!”Uchiha Makoto’s crisp voice came from afar.

Half an hour later, a ghostly voice quickly rushed into the lit cabin on the hillside.

The old man Uehara Kensho quietly looked at the burning fireplace.

“I knew you would come back”

“Did he…see something?”The voice of the visitor is like dancing wind chimes, sweet and sweet.

“Maybe, he said there was something wrong with my pace. Other than that, he didn’t ask anything, and I didn’t say anything.”

“You should be glad that those who came in the afternoon were not from the mountain clan, but even they couldn’t hope to get any secrets from me. Okay, you’re here at this time, so don’t be pretentious.”

“If you can, just bury me on this hillside. I have liked this place quite a lot for decades.”

Uehara Kensho said calmly with a faint smile on his face. People who didn’t know thought he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

“good!”

In the pleasant response, a hint of coldness appeared on the baby’s innocent face, and a strand of long hair floated in the wind…
