C989 Cool Breeze
The next time the young man woke up, it was the next morning. Perhaps it was because he had been asleep for so long, but his head was dizzy, and he could not remember who he was or what he used to be, and every time he tried to remember, his head hurt so much that the young man had to stop thinking about where he came from for the time being.
After half a day, the young man learned that he was in a small village called Rain Woman Village, where the ancestors had lived, and where few people had any contact with the outside world, and that was why he seemed a little cut off from the outside world.
The old man who had brought him back was an old man called Tian Guinong, and his wife had died a long time ago, and his son and daughter-in-law, unable to accept the isolation of the village, had abandoned him, leaving him with a granddaughter.
The grandfather and grandson pair were together, so they were not that lonely. The little girl was called Zi Lan.
In this village, there were basically no young people anymore. They were all elderly, and the ones who were willing to stay in the prime of their lives were those who could not bear to part with their parents.
Therefore, Zi Lan did not have any childhood playmates here, so she was very happy with the appearance of the young people.
On that day, the old man went out to chop firewood, leaving only the young man and Zi Lan at home. Because the young man could not remember his past, he slowly walked by the lake in Rain Girl Village, while Zi Lan followed behind the young man. She did not get close to the young man nor did she speak to him. She just followed him from afar, her large eyes looking at the young man curiously.
The young man looked at the mist that was rising from the lake, and there was confusion in his eyes. He could not think of anything about his own past, and perhaps because he could not think of anything about his past, the young man sat down on the edge of the lake and picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake.
"Dong!"
The small stone fell into the lake, creating a ripple.
Zi Lan saw the young man sitting by the lake, so she carefully walked over and sat down as well.
The young man had long since noticed that this little girl had been following him, but he was annoyed because he couldn't remember who he was, so he didn't pay attention to this little girl.
The young girl looked at the young man carefully and then picked up the small stones on the shore and threw them into the lake like the young man did.
"Dong! Dong!"
The stone floated on the surface of the lake before sinking to the bottom. Zi Lan looked at the young man ingratiatingly, wanting him to not be so irritable.
Seeing the little girl's big eyes, the young man inexplicably felt at ease.
"Big brother, how about I teach you how to swim in water!" Zi Lan said to the young man so as to make him not be so depressed.
Perhaps it was because the little girl was too cute, the young man's depressed mood was swept away, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"Big brother, Zi Lan is awesome. You watch carefully." Seeing the smile on the young man's face, the little girl seemed to be encouraged. She immediately picked up a stone from the side and wanted to perform scoring for the young man.
But just as she was about to throw the stone, the young man grabbed her tender little hand.
"Big brother?" Zi Lan did not know what this big brother was going to do, so she revealed a puzzled expression.
The young man only smiled, took the stone from Zi Lan's hand and threw it into the lake.
The stone flew out of the young man's hand and drew a beautiful curve in the air, and then began to stir on the surface of the lake.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!"
The stone flew across the surface of the lake five times in a row before it unwillingly sank down to the bottom.
Seeing this scene, Zi Lan's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at the young man with admiration.
"Wow! Big brother is so amazing! Zi Lan has never been able to do more than three water floats. Can you teach me, big brother?" Zi Lan begged the young man, as if she really wanted to learn from him.
Seeing Zi Lan like this, the young man's face revealed a warm smile, and he used his hand to scratch Zi Lan's nose.
"Alright, big brother will teach you!" The young man said with a smile.
Then, he really taught Zi Lan how to make a splash, but no matter how hard she tried, she could only make a splash three times, and was never able to make a fourth one. This made the little girl feel a sense of defeat, and her little face was filled with anger, making her look even cuter.
"Don't worry, you'll always have the ability to make five floaters," the young man said, rubbing the little girl's head as she fumed.
The little girl finally became happy after being encouraged. Then she looked at the young man with her big glittering eyes.
"Big brother, do you really not remember your name?" Zi Lan tilted her head and said.
"Yes, I don't remember." The young man shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Although the young man cared a great deal about his background, he could not recall it, and so he was a little helpless. Most importantly, every time he tried to recall, his head hurt so much that now the little girl was asking him this question, which puzzled him, and he did not know what the little girl was going to do.
At the young man's reply, the little girl's eyes lit up with a thoughtful expression. She was only a child, but she had such a solemn air about her, that the young man found her very charming.
"Then can I give big brother a name?" Zi Lan timidly said to the young man.
The young man had not expected such a request from the little girl. He paused, and then realized that he could not remember his own past anyway, but that he had to live well, so he might as well give up his own past and live well as a new person.
"Well, then what name do you plan to give me?" the young man asked curiously.
Seeing that the young man had agreed to her request, the little girl was so happy that she immediately jumped up and down. She was very innocent and cute.
"Brother, Zi Lan likes the feeling of the wind blowing, and when big brother laughs he looks like a cool breeze, so big brother can call me Qing Feng." Zi Lan said.
"Qingfeng?" When the young man heard the name Zi Lan gave him, he muttered to himself. Although this name was a little strange, it was more comfortable.
Since he could no longer remember his past, then he would no longer be restrained by the past. He would let Qing Feng wash away all of his worries.
"That's a nice name. Let me be called Qing Feng." The young man nodded.
"Yay! Brother Qing Feng!" Zi Lan called out to the young man happily.
"Hey!" The young man also nodded with a smile.
At this time, Tian Guinong had also returned from chopping wood. Seeing the young man and his granddaughter happily standing by the river, he also smiled.
Ever since the young people of the village had left, the old man had not felt such a feeling for a long time. Suddenly, he felt that bringing the young people back was the right thing, at least Zi Lan would have a playmate.
"Zi Lan, hurry up and come back. Grandpa is about to cook." Tian Guinong put down the firewood and shouted to the little girl.
"Got it, Grandpa!" The little girl heard her grandfather's voice and turned around to say sweetly.
