When Di Yue walked into the village of the Yue people, he felt as if he had walked into a village of a minority.
"Where did the guest go?" An old man said to Di Yue.
"Uh, go where you came from." Di Yue answered instinctively.
"So that's the case. He's a traveler. Very few people are willing to come to our remote villages. May I know how I should address you?" the old man said as he stroked his beard.
"Old man, I'm not a traveler. I have a sister, like a dream at dawn, so short and blurred. That's why she's called Xiaomeng and I'm called Zhimeng.”
"One year, little sister Xiaomeng left her hometown. I don't know where she went, but she never came back. When my parents passed away, I left my hometown to look for my sister, Xiaomeng.”
Di Yue looked at the old man and told him about his origins and purpose.
"I see. The road to knowing dreams is difficult. Let's rest in the village for a while before continuing our journey.”The old man said enthusiastically to Di Yue.
"Thank you. However, I'm not as anxious as I was back then. He wasn't afraid that the old man would laugh at him. His sister's name was Xiaomeng, and it was as short and blurry as a daybreak dream.”
"Although my name is Zhi Meng, I have never understood my sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been unable to find my sister after searching for three years.”
Di Yue looked at the sky, his eyes were filled with confusion. "Now, I think I have lost the motivation to leave my hometown.”
"Zhimeng, you don't have to be tired. The world is a big place, and it looks like you're not even twenty years old yet. You still have a few decades left in your life to search for your sister. However, even if you can't find your sister when you're old in a few decades, you won't be able to find her. You don't have to regret it." The old man said to Di Yue in an unusually serious tone.
"Oh? Old man. Why did you say not to regret it? Logically speaking, you should have advised me not to think that it was a regret even if I didn't find it, right?”Di Yue looked at the old man earnestly.
As he spoke, Di Yue supported the old man with one hand and followed him into the village.
"It's like this, Zhimeng. The reason why I told you not to regret it when you are old is that you should not regret not leaving your sister behind when she left. If you spend your whole life chasing after your sister Xiaomeng, then you should not regret the reason why you were asked to pursue her back then.”The old man said as he walked with Di Yue's support.
There were very few people in the village. Most of them were probably working outside. Along the way, many people greeted the old man and Di Yue.
Hearing the old man's words, Di Yue understood.
The old man was telling himself. His sister had already left. No matter what choice he made, he should not regret it.
In the end, whether it was regret or regret, was it all his own choice?
Soon, Di Yue helped the old man into a two-story bamboo building.
"Old man, I know what you mean. The choice he made now might not necessarily be right or wrong in the future.”
"But, old man. Xiaomeng is my sister. I'm fine, my parents are fine. They all hope that my sister can return to her hometown.”Di Yue said seriously.
After Di Yue finished speaking, the old man's body trembled. Then, with Di Yue's support, they continued to walk towards the hall of the bamboo house.
There were only some simple furniture and a few jars of what looked like wine in the hall of the bamboo house.
"Daddy, why are you back? Didn't you tell me to pick you up at noon?”As soon as he entered the hall, a middle-aged man in a single garment walked out.
"Chen Hui, today I met this Zhi Meng who was traveling the world to find his sister. So I brought him to our house.”The old man said to the middle-aged man.
"Oh, I see. Brother Zhimeng, thank you for bringing my father back." "My name is Chen Hui," the middle-aged man said politely to Di Yue.
"Big Brother Chen Hui, sorry for disturbing you.”Di Yue returned the greeting.
"You're welcome, Zhimeng. Stay here with my father first. I'll get my wife to make you something delicious.”Chen Hui said enthusiastically.
Di Yue nodded and watched Chen Hui leave the bamboo house.
Turning around, Di Yue helped the old man sit down.
"Old man, this is Big Brother Chen Hui's name. It made me want to find my sister Xiaomeng even more.”Di Yue poured a cup of water from the bamboo table and passed it to the old man.
The old man took the water from Di Yue's hand and slowly drank a mouthful.
One bite, another bite. After the old man finished drinking the water, Di Yue poured another cup of water for the old man.
Just like that, the two of them did not speak.
"Brother Zhimeng. Here, here, this is the delicious food I asked my wife to make just now.”After an unknown period of time, Chen Hui walked in with plates of dishes.
Behind Chen Hui was a woman. The woman had the graceful appearance of the Jiangnan women of later generations.
"Oh, Brother Zhimeng. This is my wife, called Ru Ji.”Chen Hui said to Di Yue.
"Zhimeng greets sister-in-law." Di Yue bowed to the woman. Ru Ji, she was really like a Ji.
Then, Chen Hui served the dishes one by one. Then, he poured out the fragrant wine from the jar at the side.
"Little brother, try this wine." Chen Hui said to Di Yue.
Di Yue picked up the wine. A light fragrance of water mixed with the fragrance of wine. "Good wine. Although it's not strong, it has a different artistic conception.”
Di Yue drank it all in one gulp, and Chen Hui filled Di Yue's cup again.
The meal was very slow. Chen Hui and Di Yue were the ones chatting. The woman did not say a word, and the old man only said a few words.
"Little brother, stay with my father. I'll go help my wife pack up." Chen Hui said to Di Yue.
"Brother Chen Hui, please do as you please." Di Yue nodded.
Only the old man and Di Yue were left in the bamboo house.
The noon sun could not shine into this cool bamboo building. Time slowly passed, but Chen Hui and his wife did not return.
Di Yue only heard a bustling noise outside. After that, he didn't hear anything else for the entire afternoon.
