Chapter 352 Separation is coming
The three elders also cherished the last time they spent with Xiao Chengcheng. Their eyes were always fixed on Xiao Chengcheng's lovely smiling face, and they wanted to engrave every minute and every second deeply in their hearts.
I don’t know when Xiao Chengcheng will be able to see them again. Every time I think of this, my heart is filled with endless melancholy.
The melancholy was like layers of clouds, heavy and depressing, making their hearts feel heavy.
Now they are old, and the traces of time are ruthlessly engraved on their faces. The deep wrinkles are like crisscrossing ravines, and each one tells the vicissitudes of time.
The body becomes increasingly fragile, like a candle in the wind that may go out at any time.
I don’t know when my eyes will close and I will never be able to open them again.
They have not seen Xiao Chengcheng grow up, have not seen her tie her hair into a ponytail, wear a beautiful dress, and stand out like a graceful young lady.
The imagined picture is so beautiful, yet seems so far away.
Nor did we see Xiao Chengcheng going to school, carrying his schoolbag and jumping into the campus.
That scene full of vitality and hope can only emerge again and again in their minds, but they don’t know whether they can witness it with their own eyes in their lifetime.
They didn't see Xiao Chengcheng's infancy, and missed her initial ignorance and fragility when she first came into this world. Those precious moments can only become eternal regrets.
They wanted to spend little Cheng Cheng's childhood with her, watching her laugh and play in the sunshine, catching butterflies and collecting flowers.
They wanted to see Xiao Cheng Cheng get married, wear a white wedding dress, and walk towards the other side of happiness. But they all knew that it seemed unlikely.
The wheel of time turns relentlessly, pushing them to the end of their lives mercilessly, and Xiao Chengcheng still has a long way to go in the future.
The future is full of infinite possibilities and hope, but they can't always be by your side.
Thinking of these things, the three elders couldn't help but shed tears.
The tears flowed slowly along the wrinkles on their faces, as if the river of time was telling of helplessness and reluctance.
Every drop of tears carries their deep emotions, which are the helplessness about the passing of time, the sadness about the brevity of life, and the endless concern and attachment to Xiao Chengcheng.
"First elder, second elder, third elder, why are you crying?"
Little Chengcheng sat in the arms of the clan elder. That warm and safe embrace had given her countless comfort and happiness.
At this moment, she saw tears on the faces of the three elders, and she felt very sad.
Her childish voice was full of concern and confusion, and her little eyebrows were tightly furrowed like two crescent moons.
Her eyes were clear and pure, reflecting the tears of the elders, and filled her heart with confusion and worry.
Although they have not been together for a long time, Xiao Chengcheng has already regarded them as his own family.
During this time, the clan elders told her many ancient and interesting stories. Those stories seemed like windows to a mysterious world, which filled Xiao Chengcheng with curiosity and yearning.
The elders of the two tribes taught her how to write and draw step by step, and every stroke was full of patience and care.
The elders of the three tribes always found different ways to make all kinds of delicious snacks for her. The sweet taste of those snacks still remains in Xiao Chengcheng's memory.
Their love and companionship made Xiao Chengcheng feel deeply warm and happy.
Seeing the old man crying, Xiao Chengcheng's heart will of course be filled with emotions, a kind of love and reluctance that comes from the bottom of his heart.
The patriarch smiled, a smile filled with endless kindness and vicissitudes of life.
He stretched out his fingers, wiped his tears gently with his fingertips, and said, "We are afraid that Chengcheng will leave this time. We don't know when we can see her again on a business trip. We can't bear to let her go."
The elder's voice trembled slightly, and every word was full of deep affection. The voice seemed to come from the depths of time, carrying a heavy sigh and endless longing.
"Yes, Cheng Cheng, we, the second elder of the tribe, are getting old, and we don't know when we will leave, so we are afraid that we won't see you anymore."
The second elder of the clan also followed suit, his eyes filled with worry and attachment.
His eyes were filled with reluctance to leave Xiao Chengcheng, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his heart.
When Little Cheng Cheng heard this, he became anxious and said quickly, "Big Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, you will surely live a long life. When Cheng Cheng and Ge Ge have dealt with everything, Cheng Cheng will come to pick up Big Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder to live in the big house. Let Big Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder live with Cheng Cheng, and we will go out and play together!"
Xiao Chengcheng's voice was anxious and firm. She tried hard to express her inner wishes, hoping to bring some comfort to the elders.
Her little hands waved in the air, as if depicting a beautiful picture of the future.
As Xiao Chengcheng spoke, tears began to flow of her own. The crystal tears rolled around in her eye sockets and finally slid down her cheeks.
She sobbed, her little hands tightly grasping the corners of the elders' clothes, as if she was afraid that she would lose them if she let go.
"I don't want you to leave, I want you to stay with me forever."
Xiao Chengcheng's crying echoed in the room, heartbreaking.
The crying sounded like sharp needles, piercing the hearts of the elders.
The elder of the clan gently patted little Cheng Cheng's back and comforted him, "Be good, Cheng Cheng, don't cry, we will always think of you."
His palms were large and warm, and every pat was filled with soothing power.
The second elder also came over and stroked little Cheng Cheng's hair: "Cheng Cheng, you have to listen to your brother and grow up well."
His fingers gently ran through Xiao Chengcheng's hair, his movements full of affection.
The three elders of the clan were silently wiping their tears, their eyes full of reluctance.
His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a word. He just stared at Xiao Chengcheng silently, his eyes containing thousands of words.
Little Chengcheng raised his head and looked at the three elders with tearful eyes: "I will be obedient, I will grow up quickly, and then I will take care of you."
Her voice was tearful, but full of determination.
The room was filled with a sad yet warm atmosphere. Their hearts were closely connected. Even though they were about to separate, this deep emotion would never disappear.
That emotion is like an invisible bond that connects them tightly and will never break no matter how time passes or how far the distance is.
Little Chengcheng hugged the clan elder's neck tightly, using all his strength in his little arms, as if he wanted to keep this warmth and support by his side forever.
She pressed her little face against the elder's cheek, feeling the familiar warmth and rough touch, enjoying these last warm moments.
The soft face pressed tightly against his, conveying her inner attachment and reluctance.
