Chapter 7 Before the Great Wave (Part 2)
Having said this, Xiao Chengqian glanced at me and asked me with a smile: "Have you heard this more than once? Do you find it magical every time you hear it?"
"Every time I hear it, I feel sad." I held a cigarette in my mouth and looked at the warm sun, the slightly swaying bamboo leaves, and the tiny bits of sunshine. I simply lay down on this flat rock.
Everything at that time was so peaceful and beautiful, but how could we appreciate its preciousness without going through the storm?
"Sad?" Xiao Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't quite understand my emotions.
"Yes, it's sad." I lay on the flat stone, and the sun shone into my eyes. I couldn't help but close my eyes slightly, and then said: "You and I are both Taoists, haven't you heard
An explanation? Only when the body is particularly weak, such as during a serious illness or due to personal will
Is the feeling of the soul particularly keen when you are particularly weak? Hui Gen'er is not a person with strong spiritual awareness. What do you think his sudden feeling means? It can only mean that he was at that time.
The situation has reached his limit, he is too strong and easy to break, I am talking about this kid Hui Gen'er."
My tone at the moment is flat, but my sad mood is not flat. Hui Gen'er was extremely cute when he was a child, but this cuteness is just an appearance. In his heart, this child is a typical child who only wants to break the jade, not to destroy it. In Lu Fanming's basement
, the moment he pulled out the sword, he demonstrated this rigidity to the fullest.
Xiao Chengqian was silent, and he didn't know how long it took before he spoke: "At that time, when Hui Gen'er said this, he was so sure, and his tone instantly sobered up. It was not like mumbling nonsense, but he didn't
People believe that maybe they have been in despair for a long time. For us, hope is just a kind of instinct.
I could wait for it, but when it really came, I felt it was just comfort and futility for a while. Not only me, but everyone also felt that Hui Gener had been burned to the point of confusion, and they were even more sad. I remember at that time,
Ruyue leaned against the wall, biting her lower lip to try not to cry."
"Of course someone stopped me from carrying Hui Gen'er out of the solitary room. At that moment, everyone went crazy. Can you imagine? A group of cultivators wearing heavy shackles were fighting like street gangsters. I can't describe it.
In the chaos at that time, the guys guarding the solitary room were almost beaten to death. Fortunately, but inevitably, there were no so-called old monsters to stop us at that time. Except for Tao Bo, a group of us got out of the solitary room. Outside.
The wind and snow are very heavy
, the blowing fascinated people's eyes, everyone protected me in the middle, because I was carrying Hui Gen'er and the people from the holy village surrounded us. They were just ordinary people, the cultivators didn't know where they were? But
We didn't dare to rush forward. I think our lunatic-like expressions frightened them?" When Xiao Chengqian talked about this past event, his tone had calmed down a little, but in the wind and snow, that kind of solemn and tragic feeling
The scene seemed to be right in front of me.
Making up one's mind to save Hui Gen'er, in fact, isn't it just a determination to complete even if one has to die this time? Everyone knows what the consequences will be, including the exchange that Xiao Chengqian mentioned at the beginning.
a consequence.
He didn't explain too much, but I knew what he meant behind it.
"We walked step by step in the holy village like this. We didn't have too many thoughts at the time. We just wanted to find a warm house for Hui Gen'er to rest there, and then look for medicine and some nutritious things for Hui Gen'er to eat.
You know, during the days in the solitary room, those old monsters deliberately let them eat "pig food". The scary thing is that even the "pig food" is not enough! They surrounded us.
More and more people were arriving. When we were about to enter the village, we didn’t know who started instigating that those people were going to attack us. The so-called "village officials" in the village had also quickly ran to the inner village, probably to go
'Complain'. I thought that at that time, all that was left was to work hard, and I was actually prepared not to wait for you. But" a smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Chengqian's face.
I also laughed. I had heard this paragraph many times and couldn't help but say: "But my master and the others showed up, right?"
"Yes, they have appeared! The first thing I heard was Uncle Hui's voice, which was so loud, 'What are those people doing around here? Where are my apprentices?'. When I first heard it, I was still a little confused. After all, I was here.
I didn't have much contact with Uncle Hui before, and I wasn't familiar with his voice. He shouted in Mandarin, not his Shaanxi accent, so I remember that he always shouted.
Hui Gen'er, who was lying on my back in a daze, suddenly twisted his body a few times, as if he was trying to break away and jump to the ground. But he had no strength left. I started to hear him murmuring, "Master, isn't Master?"
Are you here?', and then a stream of tears fell on my neck. It was very hot, and when it was blown by the wind, it was very cold." It was a very uncomfortable emotion, but it made people want to laugh and cry.
.
Just like it has been dark for too long, the first ray of sunshine finally shines on the faces of people who have traveled thousands of miles to pursue it. Besides laughing and crying, what other expressions can there be?
"I was confused, but there were many people who were more awake than me. Then I saw Chengxin, who was walking in front of me, suddenly kneeling on the ground, punching the snow with his fist, shouting "Oh my God", and suddenly burst into tears. Seeing
Chengqing, who was standing next to me, suddenly looked at the sky, wanting to stay calm, but the tears on his face kept flowing. When he saw Chengyuan covering his mouth, Chengzhen hugged her behind him, wanting to comfort the two of them. "Xiao Chengqian's
My voice suddenly became choked and I couldn't speak anymore.
"In short, I am very confused. In the heavy snow, I can't see everyone clearly, but suddenly I have a glimmer of understanding. I'm afraid I have been waiting and searching for a long time. At this moment, the sky has finally dawned, right? I also
I couldn't bear it anymore. I could hardly bear Hui Gen'er. I just felt that my whole body was shaking and even weak. I heard screams from the crowd.
At the edge of the surrounding crowd, I saw figures falling down continuously, or being thrown up and down exaggeratedly. Then people gave way, fearfully, and I saw a man whose upper body was naked.
The man stands at the front." When Xiao Chengqian said this, he suddenly couldn't help but wiped his face pretending to be casual.
Those are tears, right? Tears stimulated by profound memories that cannot be forgotten and profound emotions that cannot be replicated, right?
I just pretended not to see it. At times like this, men always need to save a little face. I do, and so does Xiao Chengqian.
After calming down for a while, Xiao Chengqian continued: "That man is my eighth uncle, you know, Xiao Laoba! Because of our special lineage, the Wu surname and the Xiao surname have been intermarried for a long time, plus there are several other families, but there are no
Our two clans have such high status in this lineage, so our names are confusing, so don't worry about it."
Family inheritance is like this. It is particularly messy. Unlike secular families, cultivator families also pay attention to talent, so it doesn't matter whether they must have the orthodox surname Wu, as long as they are from the same bloodline.
I shook my head and said I didn't care, and Xiao Chengqian continued: "At that time, you know? When I saw my eighth uncle, I almost went crazy. Hui Gen'er was originally on my back, but I didn't care.
Carefully, it fell to the ground, and I subconsciously reached out again
I hurriedly tried to pick up Hui Gen'er, but I was half-kneeling on the ground, looking at my eighth uncle. I screamed and couldn't move anymore. At that moment, I couldn't see anything except the pieces of snowflakes.
It’s clear, I’m not crying, I just can’t see clearly, right?”
Xiao Chengqian smiled when he said this. It doesn't matter whether he cried or not. Who would ask?
Maybe he himself felt that such a cover-up might be too far-fetched, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "But before my eighth uncle could say anything, he was pushed aside, and then I saw Uncle Hui.
, he stared at Hui Gen'er, and suddenly
He yelled at the crowd, "Who made my apprentice like this?" Chengyi, you didn't see it with your own eyes. At that time, Uncle Hui was extremely terrifying, and his continuous anger seemed to reach the horizon. Everyone present
, but no one dared to speak."
In fact, you don’t need to see me to know how angry Uncle Hui will be at that moment, and also know how shocking the consequences this anger will cause!
I continued to listen with a smile. The regret of not being able to experience it in person made me listen to this story a hundred times and I would never get tired of it!
"But then, as soon as Uncle Hui spoke, I felt a gust of wind rushing into my eyes. Before I could react, I was hugged tightly in my arms. I didn't raise my head at that time.
Yes, I actually cried, because I knew it was my grandpa without looking up. When I was a child, I was the most talented one in the family, so my grandpa loved me very much. I spent almost my youngest years in his arms.
Yes, because he especially likes to hug me
In my arms. You said, how could I forget the feeling of such an embrace? How could I be very upset at that time? In fact, I was very calmly thinking, well, grandpa is back. But, I just couldn’t bear it.
Stop crying, I don’t know what to do
What's wrong? I thought there would be a thousand words to say when we reunited, but I just heard my grandpa say one sentence, Chengqian, you have lost some weight, but after you left the family, life was not easy?" When Xiao Chengqian said this,
The eye sockets have become red.
In fact, where are the thousands of words needed? Just like when Master and I met again, the way he expressed his longing for me was to kick me hard on the butt a few times, and then scold me a few times.
I don't have any excessively exciting thoughts in my heart. What comes over and over in my mind is just two words - Master!
There is no need for Xiao Chengqian to tell what follows. I also know a few of the dialogues because I have listened to them many times.
Hui Gen'er was picked up by Uncle Hui. In a daze, Hui Gen'er called out: "Master, you are here, but you seem to be sick."
Uncle Hui said this: "Hey, I'm back. You must have eaten too few eggs. Why is your body so weak?"
As for Brother Chengxin, he was helped up by Master Chen. He was usually so 'venomous' because he seemed to be 'sharp and sharp', but at that time he actually said to Master Chen: "Master, I dropped my glasses."
Uncle Chen said: "Master is here. You can pick up your glasses later and let Master take a good look at you."
"But, I can't see you clearly without glasses." After saying this, Brother Chengxin started to cry in a very shameless manner. You know, he has always been an elegant and elegant man.
As for Chengzhen and Chengyuan, they were pulled away by Uncle Wang with one hand. He said: "Are you crying for me? Am I not dead yet?"
Poor little girls, they couldn't say a word when faced with such a shameless Uncle Wang.
Ruyue fell into the arms of Grandma Lingqing. She had a thousand words to say. After all, Ruxue had already stayed alone in Long Tomb at that time, but in the end, she only said one sentence: "Grandma,
I’m so miserable.”
"It's okay, grandma is back." Grandma Ling Qing touched Ru Yue's long hair and said simply, and then hugged Ru Yue tightly in her arms.
The reunion at that moment was eternal. In such a reunion scene, the last words were spoken by my master: "Let's go. You people, if you can leave here, leave. If you are stubborn and want to stop us,
, and don’t blame me for being merciless. My apprentice’s life is still on the line, and I really have no mood to talk to you any more!”
Yes, at that time, my life was still in danger, and Master stood up like this!
There is no need to elaborate on what happened next. With the destruction of the gods, the old monsters in the holy village have no fighting power at all. And how can these ordinary people or ordinary cultivators be the opponents of my master and his group?!
Therefore, after rescuing Tao Bai, everything went smoothly and he escaped from the Holy Village and hurried day and night back to Zhulin Xiaozhu.
After reminiscing about the past again and again, Xiao Chengqian suddenly said to me: "Now that you hear all this, do you feel that happiness is hard-won, and getting together is even more rare?"
"If this were not the case, why would everyone, no matter the elders or the younger generation, never mention what happened in the past? Because happiness is peaceful, and when it comes, I would rather be pure happiness
, This is not an escape, I just, no, everyone just wants to be pure happiness for some time." I said calmly, with a smile on my lips.
