There are people in the world who look so similar! ’
"Of course it's similar!"
"Who?"
Li Bai looked around, except for the vast sea of clouds, he saw a figure.
Suddenly, as soon as the young man's long sword was retracted on the mountain peak in the distance, his whole body rose into the air, appearing in front of Li Bai while changing his shape.
"Are you a immortal?”
Li Bai is very sorry, he also felt a little stupid after asking this sentence.
"You say yes, so yes."
The white-haired boy held up his sleeves and smiled slightly.
"I know you must have a lot of questions at the moment, you might as well ask the one."
"Why are you ..."
“My looks exactly like you, isn't it?"
For Li Bai at this moment, this question has long surpassed all other curiosities.
"Because I am you."
At the moment when the white-clothed boy finished speaking, Li Bai's eyes went dark and he couldn't see anything.
early morning.
Li Bai opened his eyes and sat up slowly. He felt uncomfortable in his head.
'It is really strange that I clearly had a dream last night, but why can't I remember anything? '
Father came in slowly from the outside of the room and sat down by Li Bai's bed.
'Li, you're awake,' he said.
'I see you look rather pale. Did you sleep badly last night? Did you have a nightmare last night?"
Li Bai shook his head and picked himself up again.
"If your spirits are low, you can rest a little longer."
'Don't worry, Father, I'll go with you to the village meeting in a moment.'
The father nodded and left first.
New Year's Day, the most important day of the year.
At this time, there will be important celebration activities in the village.There are two purposes.first for everyone to get together and have fun, and second for the blessing of the New Year.
This year is special and different from previous years.
Today, on the 100th anniversary of the construction of the estate, the celebration is even greater.
Dressed in bright red, Li Bai and his father walked through the village, greeting people who passed by.
"Li, you go to the central square and finish building the wooden platform with the little bamboo. I will come to see you later."
Li Bai nodded and, after parting from his father, went to the center of the village by himself.
Perhaps because it was an important day, the crowd in the center of the village was much larger than usual. Even Liu Jin, who was usually busy with the crops in the fields, was there.
'Li, you're here,' he said.
"Liu uncle, today can calculate see you, liu hu, he didn't come together with you?"
Li Bai looked behind Liu Jin but did not find his good friend Liu Hu.
"You always come earlier today for every year。"
A familiar sentence came from behind Li Bai.
"Liu Hu you come..."
Li Bai thought it was a good friend, but he turned around and found another familiar person standing next to him.
'Haven't seen her for years. '
"chenYue, you're back."
"Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for seven years. How are you?"
Li Bai wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they were forced back. He nodded with a smile.
"I have been to Qingzhou for seven years, but I still miss it. And since today is New Year's Day, I came back yesterday."
Liu laughed as he told Chen Yue about the changes in the village over the years, while complaining to Li Bai about the tireiness of the recent bumper harvest.
Chen Yue gently raised his left hand, covering his mouth and gently smiling, his eyes are full of Li Bai's handsome face.
She knew perfectly well why she had come back now.
'Li, you're here,' he said.
A young man, who looked a little older, approached from a distance.
"Zhao zhu elder brother, today hard you and everybody."
"Just as well, the wooden platform still needs one last thing to be built."
'Li, let's go and help them,' he said.
Liu Hu said, striding toward the wooden platform direction ran past.
"Let's go and have a look."
Libai looked at the running figure of Liu Hu, then looked at Chen Yue, shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"Brother Li, I feel you have changed a lot over the years."
"So are you. I haven't seen you for years. You are much taller and more beautiful."
Chen Yue listen to Li Bai said, the in the mind or some small happy, but at the moment she did not know how to answer.
The breeze blowing, two people had to keep smiling, relatively silent.
As the sky slowly darkened, more and more people on the square, the surrounding beams are also hung with lanterns, everywhere decorated with lights, a lively and prosperous atmosphere.
After Lip and his friends had arranged the whole central square, they waited for the elders from his father's village to arrive.
"It is only the festival in the village that has such a lively feeling."
"Why, these years in Qingzhou not such a lively celebration?"
Hearing Li's question, Chen Yue smiled and shook her head.
"Although Qingzhou is bustling, it is rarely as lively as in a village."
"Then you have a good time tonight."
Hearing the familiar voice behind her, the young girl immediately turned and saluted.
"Uncle Lip, here you are."
"Chen Yue, I haven't seen her for years, and she's becoming more and more beautiful."
Chen's face was brimming with happiness, but she didn't say much.
Li Bai looked at dad behind Chen Yue's father, also both hands salute, said hello.
The four chatted with each other, and after a while it was the most important festival ceremony.
The time had come, and all the people of the village moved to the front of the wooden platform.
Li Bai and his father also arranged their clothes and walked one after another towards the wooden platform.
This was the fifth time that Li Bai and his father had attended the festival, and the rules of etiquette were already well known.
But I do not know why, for this ceremony, Li Bai always had a feeling of indescribable.
He was now standing in a corner of the platform, watching the speech his father was about to begin.
"As a result of the good harvest, the year is peaceful and happy. We have been standing here for a hundred years. The efforts of three generations of predecessors have brought you together at this joyous moment."
In the eyes of the residents of the village, Li Yun, now the owner of the village, has the same position as the previous two generations of village owners.
Like the previous two generations of village owners, he made great efforts to ensure a better life for everyone and won the trust of the village residents.
Li Bai listened carefully, and felt deeply his father's efforts and achievements over the years. As the son of Li Yuncun, he was also very proud.
"That's all I have to say. After my son Li Bai and the other four children light the prayer, everyone can enjoy the food and wine prepared in the village."
After saluting the crowd, Li turned around and motioned to Li Bai to start the fire.
Li Bai took a deep breath and walked slowly to the middle of the wooden platform.
He held the lit torch high in both hands and stared at the moon high in the sky.
"Little doll, I didn't expect to find this thing in your hand."
"Who was that??"
"It's me!!"
A gust of wind like air emanates from behind Li Bai, blowing his clothes a little messy.
Li Bai casually picked up the dust on his body, and tried to open his eyes to see the figure not far from the front.
An old man in white was floating in the air, with dishevelled hair, and his white beard was already long enough to be fluttering with the wind.
"Boy, not bad ah, with the little girl look really some like, you are her child."
"You said... Is it my mother??
Who are you?"
"Ha ha ha, also don't talk nonsense with you much, since it is you take this thing to still wake me up, in the future then have plenty of time."
The old man floating in the air laughed and ignored Li Bai.
'mother? Wake up? And this strange old man? '
From yesterday's dream to the adventure at the moment, young Li Bai was at a loss and did not know where to start thinking.
"Old timer, what are you?
The old man in white clothes looked at Libai at the moment and smiled slightly.
'Good boy, not bad is a girl's child, just although there is a messy atmosphere, but a moment later can be calm, no teacher is naturally suitable for learning. '
"You shall know who I am. Now remember something else."
Li Bai noticed that the dishevelled old man in front of him, though he looked majestic, did not seem to mean anything, so he nodded.
"You must not tell anyone about your meeting with me, not even your father."
"Yes, speaking of father."
Li Bai carefully observed the surrounding, found that everything in the vicinity of any things have stopped, even this should be held in the hand of the torch, now also floating in the air, even the flames have not changed.
"Don't you worry about that, boy. I'm just using ordinary magic."
"Old timer are you a immortal??"
"The immortal? There is no immortal in this world."
The old man in white clothes looked at the innocent expression of the young face, and did not know what to say.
"What's your name, boy?"
"My name is Li Bai."
"Remember, Rip, don't lose that thing you're carrying around your waist."
"Old timer, what's on your waist?"
Li Bai also wanted to ask what, suddenly at the moment of a black, nothing can be seen.
"Lee?"
"Brother?
Do not know how long, Li Bai's ear appeared a few familiar voices.
Li Bai tried to open his eyes and found himself lying in his father's arms. At the first sight, he saw the concerned eyes of his father and Chen Yue and Liu Hu.
"Dad, Chen Yue, you?"
"I don't know why, but you just fell down."
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
Li Bai stood up slowly with the help of Li Yuncun.
"Li Bai, are you all right?"
Not far away came the familiar sound. Although Li Bai had not heard it for many years, he still remembered it now.
Li Bai raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice was coming. A middle-aged man in black clothes, holding an ink folding fan and wearing wisteria jade at his waist appeared.
"Second UNCLE!!"
