Chapter 406 The Loneliness of the Old Man
After being sent back to his home, Mr. Hua sat alone in front of the window, staring into the distance with a scattered gaze. The traces of time carved deep wrinkles on his face, and loneliness spread in his heart. His world became smaller and smaller. Except for a few old friends and a group of evil disciples, there were only memories and loneliness around him.
"Husband, let's accompany our uncle to drink tea and chat before going back." Yanan suggested hurriedly when she saw that Old Man Hua's servant had not returned yet.
"Okay!" Hua Heng made tea himself, while Nanchen, Shen Wen and Yanan were responsible for holding the baby.
The famous old man Hua is just an ordinary old man after all, and he has his own problems. Normally, he would spend his retirement in the mountain villa with three or five friends, which is quite good. But now that his old friend who he talked with every day is not around for just one day, he feels something is wrong. He wants to find something to kill time and eliminate loneliness.
Once there was a bustling crowd around him, but now it has become deserted. His disciples have grown up and left home to pursue their own lives. His life has become dull and boring, and he just repeats the same things every day. He also longs for company and communication with others, but he can only talk to himself in front of the jars and pots on the wall.
He often recalled the past. The more beautiful the memories were, the more cruel the reality seemed. He felt that he was forgotten by time and abandoned by the world. Loneliness was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping the old man's heart.
In this noisy world, the old man's loneliness becomes stronger. He longs for warmth and love, but he doesn't know how to find them. He can only silently endure the torment of loneliness and wait for the end of his life. This may also be the true portrayal of most old people. What measures can be taken to change it? Yanan couldn't think of a solution for a while.
"Uncle Master? Uncle Master, have a cup of tea!" Hua Heng made tea and pushed the first cup to Uncle Master Hua.
"Oh, okay. I'm very old and I'm most afraid of loneliness. You are very filial and are willing to accompany me, an old man who is buried up to his neck in the earth." Old man Hua unexpectedly became sentimental.
"Uncle Hua, if you are afraid of being lonely, I will ask someone to accompany you to go out and play. The situation outside has improved a lot now. Let Doctor Wang and Scholar Zhuang go out and play with you. They will provide enough guards." Shen Wen, who had been taking care of his daughter without saying a word, suddenly spoke up. He roughly understood the old man's feelings.
"Really? Oh... no, no, no, it's still too troublesome!" Old man Hua was happy at first, then he thought of something and shook his head in denial.
"Uncle Hua, as long as you don't announce your names when you go out, others will not recognize you. Don't worry, there will be no trouble!" Nanchen seemed to see through the old man's concerns and said.
"..." Good boy, it's really impolite to always speak out what's on people's minds. Old man Hua was quite annoyed when someone hit him in the heart.
"The outside world has changed a lot. Master uncle can go around and have a look. It was my inconsiderateness that I forgot about this. I should have accompanied Master uncle to go around." Hua Heng reflected on himself at the right time. He thought that taking good care of Master uncle was the best thing to do, and not accompanying Master uncle often was also unfilial.
"Hmph... How can you accompany me now that you have a family? But I will talk to those old guys and we can go to Qingcheng Mountain to stay for a few days, and then go somewhere else to have a look." The old man was very arrogant and proud after getting the benefit.
"That's great. I'll send you off tomorrow. Remember to come back in ten days for the hundred-day banquet for Dudu, Diandian and Shanshan!" Hua Heng didn't mind and made arrangements immediately.
"Uncle Hua, Nanchen wants to ask you a favor. When we go to Qingcheng Mountain, could you please invite Master Huijia to come to the manor to attend the Hundred Days Banquet?" Nanchen thought for a moment and then asked.
"Well, that's a good idea. Leave it to me!" Old man Hua immediately agreed. This way, the trip would have a reputation.
"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Nanchen and others thanked him together.
"Okay, okay, you guys go back, I'm going to go find some old friends to reminisce about the past." Old man Hua is really an old man at heart, he would cross the river and destroy the bridge, and drive people away!
"..." Nanchen, Shenwen, Huaheng and Yanan were all silent.
"Uh~" Little Dudu
"Ah~" Xiao Shanshan
"Puff~" Little Dot
Fortunately, the awkward situation didn't last long, as Old Man Hua's servant came back. "Master! Doctor Wang went out to collect herbs, and he just came home!"
"Okay, okay! Then let's go find him. Old man Wang is still collecting herbs at his age. Isn't he afraid of committing suicide..." Old man Hua was helped out by the servant while grinning all the way. No matter how you look at him, it seems that he is the one who has endless energy!
"Hehe~ let's go back!" Hua Heng said with a low laugh. He used the remaining tea to extinguish the charcoal fire in the small stove, then stood up and took Diandian from Yanan's arms!
"I remember that there are quite a few elderly people living in the side courtyard. Do they feel the same way? Or are they used to the quiet days and loneliness~" Yanan suddenly remembered and spoke as he walked back.
"We indeed lacked attention to this aspect in the past. In the past, the world was turbulent and supplies were scarce. We thought that the best thing was to let them live safely, eat well, and wear warm clothes. Now it seems that there is still something missing!" Nanchen echoed.
"So what we have done in the past year has been very correct. We have eliminated bandits and evil to maintain stability, promoted agriculture and commerce, and benefited people's livelihood. We have done well in many aspects. The elderly should return to their groups and move around to have fun." Shen Wen said.
"That makes sense. As far as I know, hermits are not born with the ability to hide. Most of them choose to live in seclusion after experiencing life and death events, experiencing great ups and downs, and cherishing their lives more." Hua Heng said. Humans are social beings. Who would choose to retreat from the world for no reason? Apart from anything else, the huge sense of loneliness is enough to make people unacceptable. If it is not a life-threatening situation, no one would want to retreat from the world!
"Husband, come on! Things will get better and better. Then the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the young will all have their own living space~" Yanan encouraged. She herself missed the safe and harmonious atmosphere of China very much. Of course, she also understood that the peace they gained was because someone was carrying the burden for them.
