Chapter 31 Thousand Miles
"Father, my son doesn't blame you at all. It's all my son's fault, my father..."
Yan's father's suppressed cry seemed to have activated some switch. Everyone in the house turned around and couldn't bear to watch it again. Only a conversation between the father and son was left.
"Wen'er, your mother... don't blame her. She has never suffered any hardship in her life, and she has always been used to doing things at will, but, after all, she is just a kind motherly heart."
"...She is in poor health. When she hears that I am critically ill, she will be unconscious. When she wakes up, you can take good care of her." Old Master Yan patted Yan's father's hand, "By the way, where is your wife and An An, let me... look at An An. This little girl... I have been missing for many years."
"An An, come quickly." Yan's father called Yan Ning over when Old Master Yan spoke. Yan's mother took Yan Ning's hand and stepped forward, "Father, they are all unfilial daughter-in-law."
"You...you are a good person. Wen'er did not misread the person. An An." Old Master Yan moved his gaze to Yan Ning's face, his eyes as if he wanted to remember this granddaughter who had not seen for a long time before leaving.
"Grandpa." Yan Ning couldn't help but reach out and grabbed the hand beside the bed.
Mr. Yan was stunned. These grandchildren always called him grandfather, but they didn't expect to hear a different name today.
"Okay, okay, An An is so well-behaved. She looks a bit similar to your father when he was a child." Old Master Yan smiled.
"Grandpa, you will definitely get better. I'll ask Dad to buy medicine for you, and it will get better after taking it." Yan Ning looked at Mr. Yan.
The little child's eyes were red, but his face was a little pale. He probably hadn't had a good rest for several days. At this time, the baby's fat face was filled with seriousness that was not in line with his age, and he felt inexplicably distressed.
Yan Ning thought, Grandpa, you must get better.
Mr. Yan felt a little tired after talking for a while, and his expression was obviously exhausted.
"You all go out, I'll take a break." Old Master Yan waved his hand, closed his eyes and signaled everyone to leave.
Everyone left one after another, and the huge room was instantly empty, with only Uncle Fu guarding outside the door.
...
On the path thousands of miles away from the capital, thick dust was flying, and several figures appeared in the flying dust.
The sound of horse hooves kicking from far to near, and the figures gradually approached clear.
"Young master, let's have a rest. You haven't been dismounted for four consecutive days. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to stand it." One of the behind knights shouted loudly.
"No, I'm not tired at all. Speed up, we can arrive in about three days." Even though the man's voice was stable, the anxiety in his voice could not be concealed.
"But……"
"No, but, if you are tired, you can rest. If you are not tired, continue to follow." The man interrupted the advice of the person behind him.
He understood that they were for his own good. After all, the journey of a whole month was shortened by him to less than one-third. I don’t know how many horses ran to death on the road, and I couldn’t stand it. However, if he stopped faster, he would be afraid that he would not see his grandfather’s last time.
Since his mother passed away, his father seemed to have lost his soul. In addition to leading troops to fight and staying in the military camp could make him feel a little popular, he was like a living dead man. He knew how to eat and rest, but he had no emotions.
In his eyes, he was his successor. Except for the identity of his mother's son, which gave him a sense of existence, he had almost never enjoyed fatherly love. All his feelings were accomplished by his grandfather.
He treats him both as a teacher and as a friend, and that is the only color in his life. He cannot stop his death, but at least he must see him for the last time.
Thinking of this, the man speeded up again, faster, faster.
