Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2288 Candle Flame

Tie Jinjue deeply remembered what his parents said that day. Many years later, in the room where his mother's belongings were buried, he thought about those words and felt deeply moved.

The huge waves of memories hit his heart, but could not extinguish the candle flame from many years ago.

The candle of warmth in his heart did not go out, but the people had already left.

He knew that he would soon be reduced to ashes, just like those past lives he could not forget. He felt that spending some time in this room with his mother's belongings in the candlelight was like a farewell ceremony for him to this world.

He looked at the burning candles and suddenly felt that these candles were just like the candles that were lit when he was with his parents.

That year, that day, they lit very few candles, and the room was not very bright, but at that time they were talking in the candlelight, and where the candlelight flickered, there was warmth all around.

That kind of warmth seemed to be able to travel through the years, and after many years, it was calling him in his heart when he lit the candle he wanted to light.

There are many candles in the room at this moment, but among the bright flames, there is a hint of coolness.

Too many years have passed. Although every candle in the basement was lit by him in response to the warm call in his memories, and he lit many, many more, the people back then were no longer in this world, and he himself was about to leave. The dancing flames of the lit candles could no longer bring out the warmth in his memory.

The warmth of those years still remains in Tie Jinjue's heart, but only in his memories. The warmer the candle flame in his memories, the cooler the candlelight at this moment will be.

Tie Jinjue was getting closer and closer to his mother's belongings, and suddenly found a bowl with a familiar pattern engraved on it.

At that moment, Tie Jinjue tried hard to suppress his emotions to prevent Tie Wandao from thinking that his expression was abnormal.

At this moment, Tie Wandao suddenly said to Tie Jinjue: "This bowl is really strange."

Tie Jinjue asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"I'm not seeing things." Tie Wandao said, "I've seen bowls like this in Tiecangting, but they're not exactly the same as this one." Tie Jinjue said nonchalantly, "As for bowls, it's normal if they're almost the same."

"This is not normal." Tie Wandao said.

"What's abnormal?" Tie Jinjue said.

"Why is there such a pattern engraved on this bowl?" Tie Wandao asked.

Tie Jinjue said: "You can carve any pattern on the bowl."

Tie Wandao said: "Normally there is nothing engraved on this kind of bowl."

"Really?" Tie Jinjue said lightly.

Tie Wandao said, "It must be. The bowls in Tiecangting are smooth all around. But this bowl has patterns carved around it. It's really new!"

Tie Jinjue just smiled.

Tie Wandao said again: "It doesn't look like I'm seeing things. Pick it up and let me see it."

"Yes, Patriarch." Tie Jinjue said.

After saying that, he picked up the bowl.

When he touched the bowl, he imagined that his mother had used this bowl before she committed suicide. He felt that he had touched something that his mother had touched when she was alive, just like shaking hands with her. However, no matter how he imagined, he could not feel his mother's warmth at this moment - the bowl was very cold, as cold as his mother's heart when she was imprisoned before she committed suicide, cold and desperate.
