Sister, you traveled through time too?

But fate always likes to play tricks on people. Before the old man and the child had time to say a few more words, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.

The clatter of horse hooves echoed like a fatal funeral song.

Jiang Dehai thought something was wrong and quickly stuffed the white cloud back into the bucket.

"Oh no, princess. I think the truth has been revealed."

Jiang Dehai was extremely panicked and quickly picked up the bucket and ran away.

Baiyun squatted in the small bucket and looked at the many people and horses in the distance.

"Why are there so many people?"

Bai Yun said in horror.

"It must be that bastard Hu Che who secretly planted spies to follow me."

"Don't be afraid, Princess. I will definitely send you away and will never let you fall into their hands."

There was an unprecedented determination in Jiang Dehai's eyes. He gritted his teeth and ran desperately to the end of the woods.

He knew there was a lake there.

"Once you reach Weiming Lake, the princess will be able to float away with the current. Princess, remember to stay in the bucket and don't move."

Jiang De ran along the beach while giving instructions, his footsteps brisk.

"Grandpa Jiang, what about you?"

"How good are you in water? Will you come with me?"

Bai Yun asked hurriedly, feeling very scared.

"Princess, don't worry about me. I will be fine."

Jiang Dehai smiled and comforted him. He could already hear the sound of horse hooves close behind him.

Those people seemed to abandon their horses and went into the woods one after another.

This way we can delay it a little bit.

"I don't want to go alone, Grandpa Jiang, let's go together!"

"You will die alone. I saw them with bows in their hands."

Bai Yun shook her head, her eyes reddened, she felt very uneasy.

She could feel that this separation would be forever.

She was very scared and held Jiang Dehai's collar tightly, fearing that the person in front of her would disappear in a moment.

Jiang Dehai tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes, for he was afraid that the tears would blur his vision.

"Don't be afraid, Princess. I won't die. I will definitely wait for you to come back. I will definitely."

"I am still waiting for the princess to stand up for me, how could I die?"

"When the princess comes back, you must help me get that house back. It is my fortune that I have saved for many years and I want to leave it to the princess."

As Jiang Dehai spoke, a gentle expression appeared on his face, and his eyes became more fearless.

"The house is called Yungui, it sounds nice, right?"

"This is the name I chose myself. I am not well educated, but I like this name very much."

"I'm thinking that when the princess gets married, she can use this house as her residence. That would be great."

"I have no status or qualifications to buy these for the princess, but this is the best thing I can offer."

"Princess, you are still young. I am afraid you will forget me."

Jiang Dehai's voice was choked with sobs, but his pace was getting faster and faster.

"I will never have my own children in my lifetime. To be honest, I have always treated you and the Emperor as my own children."

"You must remember me, I'm afraid no one will remember me."

"When you come back, Princess, I won't ask for anything else, I just ask you to carve a stele for me."

Jiang Dehai had already seen the lakeshore. He ran towards the lake with all his might and threw the wooden barrel far away with all his strength.

He looked at Bai Yun and cried until she almost fainted, feeling extremely painful in his heart.

"grandfather!"

Baiyun shouted, and her tears fell into the lake, but did not create even a ripple.

"Just engrave my name."

“Just three words.”

"Jiang Dehai."

Jiang Dehai waved at the white clouds on the lake and watched them being washed away by the rushing water.

His tears looked like a lake covered with dark clouds.

In fact, he had already prepared himself for death. He was ready to die from the moment he decided to rescue Bai Yun.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Bai Yun cried loudly, watching Jiang Dehai gradually become distant from her sight.

She was filled with great sorrow and said loudly to Jiang Dehai:

"But Grandpa, I am not our father's child."

"It's not worth it for you to do this!"

"I am not my father's bloodline!"

Bai Yun couldn't hold it in in the end and shouted out the deepest pain in his heart.

She knew that everything she got was because she was the emperor's child.

Wealth, jewels, fine clothes, delicious food, even love,

It’s all because she is Tang Zhao’s daughter.

All this love and all this goodness actually do not belong to her.

So she felt sorry for Jiang Dehai.

The person who is willing to spend all his wealth and even sacrifice his life to save someone is fake.

If today, she and Jiang Dehai say goodbye forever,

Then she really had no way to keep this secret in her heart.

She will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

She thought Jiang Dehai would be surprised and thought he regretted it.

But Jiang Dehai just stood on the shore and smiled, and kept smiling.

The white cloud wanted to reach out to touch him, but couldn't, and he just gradually drifted away.

She only heard Jiang Dehai's last words.

His voice was gentle yet firm, as if it could warm the entire freezing cold water of the Weiming Lake.

"But you and A'zhao will always be my children."

After Jiang Dehai finished speaking, snow began to fall from Weiming Lake, fluttering heavily and filling the sky.

He turned around and looked at the soldiers coming towards him from all directions, his heart as calm as water.

Those people raised their longbows and fired a hail of arrows.

But he just opened his arms, with a smile on his face, and he was not afraid at all.

This seemed to be the first time that Jiang Dehai felt like a real man.

Like a real man who stands tall and upright.

Behind the man is the child who has already drifted away. He is the last thing he wants to protect.

The sharp arrow pierced through the body, exploding into bright red blood flowers in the white snow on the ground.

Jiang Dehai felt so beautiful when he was dying.

My broken body can actually bloom so beautifully.

very nice.

He finally fell asleep in the bright red ground, and the heavy snow drowned the man's rough life.

From the moment he started paving the way for the rescue, Jiang Dehai had been working without reservation.

He almost knew that he was going to die, so he handed over his only precious thing.

People pay a lot of attention to returning to their roots. They don’t know why, but it may be because they have less, so they pay more attention to it.

So he spent almost half his life saving money to buy a house for himself.

With a house, you have a home, and with a home, you have roots.

His father was a gambler who lost everything, including his wife and daughter, his old house, and in the end, even he himself was lost by that bastard father.

In the end, his father was beaten to death by those people. Because he had lost his land and ancestral home, he didn't even have a place to be buried.

Jiang Dehai hated him and thought he was a good-for-nothing and unworthy of being a man, so he simply wrapped him in a mat and threw him into the mountains.

He hated him, and was also afraid of becoming him one day.

He was afraid that he would have nowhere to go and no place to take root.

I am afraid that I will have nowhere to be buried after I die, and will become a nameless rotting corpse.

He wandered all the way to the imperial city, and he remembered very clearly the feeling of having nowhere to go and being homeless.

He always thought, how nice it would be if he had a place to stay.

He really wanted a place of his own that he could call home.

So after entering the palace, he worked diligently, accumulated a lot of money, and bought that huge house.

He still remembered how happy he was on the day he got the land deed. He was so happy that he could hardly sleep.

He looked at the deed and thought that now he finally had a place to call home and roots.

That was the most precious thing to him.

But in the end he still resolutely handed over his most precious thing to buy a way to survive for his children.

He knew he would die.

But it doesn’t seem that scary anymore.

He didn't know when he had the epiphany, maybe at some moment,

He suddenly felt that having a house did not mean he had roots.

With love and care, it seems that I have finally found a home.

The heart that has experienced hardships and vicissitudes of life over time has found a home the moment love is born.

He has two lovely, lively, and beloved children.

He finally, finally, lived the life he wanted.

Like a man

This was the last thing he could do. In fact, he was still very worried, but there was nothing he could do.

Jiang Dehai really liked that house, it was the result of his life's work.

But he never named the house.

The house is nameless and has remained nameless for many years.

But after meeting Bai Yun, Jiang Dehai gave the nameless house a nice name, Yungui.

The clouds return, the clouds return,

He really likes this name.

He can be a rootless person, a homeless person,

But his children cannot.

He wanted his children to have a place to go.

He hoped that the cloud, which was drifting like him, could find a home.
