When I arrived at the small ranch of Uehara Kensho, the sun in the sky had gradually tilted to the west.

Several simple wooden houses sit on a hillside covered with grass.

Hundreds of cows are grazing on the hillside, and about 10 cows are leisurely plucking the grass.

An old man and two apparently hired staff members were stroking milk.

Maruyama’s round body was the first to squeeze open the fence door and shouted at the old man on the hillside, “Uncle Kensho, we have come to see you.”

“Who?”

Kensho Uehara put down the work in his hand, carried the barrel full of milk, slowly stood up, and squinted at the incoming person.

Seeing the round body with obvious characteristics, he suddenly said: “It turned out to be Xiaoxiangtai, come in quickly, which wind actually blew you out the door.” ”

“Haha, according to my size, it is estimated that a powerful tornado is required.”

“That really needs a tornado, it’s rare that you, who haven’t gone out for a long time, remember that I like Kiyoki tea.”

“The little girl is also coming?”

“Yes, is the old man in good health? My brother knows there’s a ranch here that has been going to see the cows, isn’t it? Bring him with you. ”

Uchiha Suzune, smiled and took the barrel in Kensho Uehara’s hand and helped him carry it.

“Okay, okay, I have more time to accompany my old man, and when I see you full of vitality, I always feel a few years younger.”

Kensho Uehara responded cheerfully. The voice leaked through a few of his teeth.

“Grandpa, let me help you milk the cows.”

Uchiha Makoto saw the two staff members milking the cows, and he looked “eager to try”.

“Brother, don’t add to the chaos. Dare to move, I won’t bring you here in the future. ”

“Out of the way, out of the way. Cows are docile and do not hurt people easily. How about I bring you some fresh milk?” ”

“No need, old man, we drank a lot from Uncle Xiang’s place just now.”

……

Afterwards, Uchiha Suzune went to milk with Shota.

Makoto Uchiha ran around, occasionally chatting with the elderly.

The old man was idle, and after a while he went to work together again.

As evening approached, Kensho Uehara drove the cattle into the pen step by step.

Although the body is still very stable, the steps are indeed a little faltering.

There seems to be some kind of special rhythm in the deep and shallow footsteps, seemingly slow, but always just right to block the bend point of the herd.

A shout caused the herd to enter the stall in a stable and orderly manner.

The wrinkled skin on the old man’s face was stacked together like the bark of a dying tree. Speckled age spots accentuate the dying dead air.

However, the movements are very coordinated, and the spacing of each step is not bad in the footsteps that appear to be faltering due to joint pain.

The body did not have the slightest trembling caused by the uncoordinated legs and feet of other old people. It’s like forcing yourself to form a faltering habit. And not because of pain, the instinct of the body is displayed.

This scene clearly fell ten meters away, and in the eyes of Makoto Uchiha, who was looking for clams in the grass, two gouyu in his red eyes were slowly rotating.

In the distance is another brilliant residual sun, breaking through the surrounding clouds, leaving a circle of golden red brilliance in the world.

The dyed red sunset is like the most beautiful refining in the world, trying its best to absorb the last Dao afterglow of the red sun.

This reminded Makoto Uchiha of a long time ago, a year ago. It really felt like a long time, like in a hazy dream, it was also such a picturesque evening.

That time, the beautiful red hair of the immature girl reflected the sunset.

That time, Makoto Uchiha killed for the first time, and the first time he killed a famous Kami-Shinobu.

……

The old man drove the cattle into the pen in order to treat a few visitors.

Then he slowly went to the wooden room to make toast and hot milk.

Slowly and methodically raise the firewood, then carefully divide the milk into the jars. The expression is serious and the movements are skillful.

“Grandpa, have you always lived alone?”

Makoto Uchiha took a few white loaves of bread and placed them on the oven.

“Yes, for decades, I have long been accustomed to living alone, with so many herding cattle accompanying me, and I don’t feel lonely.”

“So your foot, was it injured before?” Walking with a limp. ”

“Yes, I got cold when I was young. I’ve got gout since I got old. ”

“Oh! I thought you were like me because of fun, learning others to walk, whether it is uphill or flat, the pace is average. ”

The old man’s focused eyes were slightly stunned, and then he touched his legs and feet expressionlessly: “Yes, when people are old, many things are forgotten.”

I forgot that my legs and feet did hurt for a long time, and I forgot that I didn’t know when my legs and feet would be fine.

But I still retain my previous habits, just to not let myself forget gratitude, forget my mission, and forget who gave me such a good life! This place in Konoha is so comfortable. ”

Smoke rises from the houses on the hillside, giving the place a little more poetic.

A shout that the meal was open made Ling Yin and the others stop their work and walk into the room together, tasting the most serious dinner the old man had ever made.

Then Makoto Uchiha, Suzune, and Shota followed the ranch staff to take advantage of the last rays of the sunset and quickly left with the ranch’s carriage.

“Grandpa, it’s fun here, we’ll come back tomorrow!” From a distance came Makoto Uchiha’s crisp voice.

Half an hour later.

A ghostly voice sped into the illuminated cabins on the hillside.

The old man Kensho Uehara quietly looked at the burning fireplace.

“Just knew you would come back.”

“He… See something? “The voice of the person who came was like a dancing wind chime, sweet and pleasant.

“Perhaps, he said I had a problem with my pace. For the rest, he didn’t ask anything except for everyday life, and I didn’t say anything. ”

“You should be glad that it wasn’t the Yamanaka people who came this afternoon, but even they didn’t want to get some secrets from me. Well, you actually came at this time, don’t be embarrassed. ”

“If you can, just bury me on this hillside, I’ve loved this place for decades.”

Kensho Uehara said calmly with a faint smile on his face. People who don’t know still think that he is saying something that has nothing to do with him.

“Good!”

In the pleasant response, the baby’s fat pure face was covered with a trace of coldness, and a strand of long hair floated with the wind….
