Dressed as an ancient leftover man

Chapter 5

Although it was already dark, fortunately, Matchmaker Jiang and her people had hung up many lanterns along the way, so they could barely see the road conditions under their feet.

In order not to disturb those 'wild mandarin ducks', Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu did not go far away. Just along the stone path that Lu Zhengan had repaired before, we arrived at a bamboo forest above the Lu family courtyard.

The two of them found a place to sit down in the dim moonlight. They looked at the bonfire in front of the Lu family's courtyard and the men and women who occasionally passed by in the garden down the slope. Neither of them spoke for a long time.

After a while, Lu Zhengan turned his eyes away from the hillside and saw a firefly falling on the grass blades at his feet. He couldn't help but become interested for a moment. Carefully grab the firefly into your palm and watch it crawl slowly in your palm.

Song Huaishu was a little nervous sitting together with Lu Zhengan, but after listening to the rustling from the bamboo forest above his head and the chirping of insects from the grass, he relaxed after a while.

Turning his head to look at Lu Zhengan's childish behavior of catching insects, Song Huaishu was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently and turned his gaze to the distance.

However, at this moment, Song Huaishu heard a whispering sound next to him. As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Lu Zhengan had moved in front of him. He was holding his hands, holding the fireflies in front of him like a treasure.

"Do you want to take a look? You live in a town, so you probably rarely see this thing, right?"

Song Huaishu looked curiously at the little bugs crawling around in Lu Zhengan's palm and nodded. Seeing that the firefly was about to climb over Lu Zhengan's thumb, Song Huaishu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the firefly back.

"People live around us and there are not so many trees and grass, so we see less of this insect. However, when I was young, my father took me to visit relatives in the countryside, and I did see it a few times."

Under the weak fluorescence of fireflies, Lu Zhengan could clearly see the smile on Song Huaishu's face when he mentioned his childhood. Recalling my current situation and my parents who I would never see again in another world, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of loss and envy in my heart.

"It's great. Unlike me, I have never seen what my parents look like as long as I can remember."

Song Huaishu didn't expect that Lu Zheng'an's parents were dead, so he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Your parents..."

"Well, they are all gone. I grew up with my grandfather. Later... my grandfather also left, and I was the only one left in our family." Lu Zheng'an teased the fireflies in his hand while holding a piece of bamboo leaf. While answering.

Feng Qingyun's calm tone made Song Huaishu not know how to react. He wanted to speak to comfort him, but he always felt that any words were a bit redundant. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth but nothing came out.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Song Huaishu hadn't spoken for a long time. Turning around to see his wrinkled face, I couldn't help but laugh. "What's your expression? Are you trying to comfort me?"

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's words, Song Huaishu's face couldn't help but heat up, but in the end he nodded honestly. "I just don't know what to say."

Lu Zhengan was moved by Song Huaishu's frankness, and at the same time, he felt more favorable towards him in his heart. With a chuckle, he threw the firefly in his hand into the grass nearby. After watching it crawl away, Lu Zhengan let out a long sigh as if he was relieved.
