Chapter 52: Dreams Like Life
The meeting is for the next parting, and the parting is for the next meeting... It's just that I didn't expect our parting to have such a big impact on me, and I didn't expect our next meeting to be so far away.
Right this year.
Your letter was perhaps the most serious blow to me, and I became more dull and lonely, and the people I once could talk about in the eyes of everyone were gone.
Going to school and practicing, it seems like there are only two things left in my life.
It was also in this year that a series of major events happened in the family, and the grandfather who had been living in the mountains left, and then the grandfather had a car accident on the way back to his hometown... I followed my parents and returned to my hometown after a long absence.
This is where I stayed until I was eight years old.
Familiar mountains, familiar people, just... What about those who were once familiar?
When my grandmother left, I was not yet born, and when my grandmother left, I was still young, and I didn't have a deep sense of life and death.
When I knelt on the mourning hall and kowtowed, my mind was still a little confused.
I stared blankly at the coffin in front of me.
I know that once two old people loved me deeply... Let's go.
Suddenly, I was infinitely afraid of death, and I infinitely hated death.
Why did my loved ones die?
For the first time... My father, who was as majestic as a mountain in my eyes, wept, and this was the first and second time in my life that I saw my father cry.
Our family, counting me, is six generations of single transmission.
...
Back to the city.
Overnight, I seem to have grown a lot, and with my physical development, I have become more and more proficient in martial arts, according to my father's wishes, my martial arts foundation has been laid, and it is up to me how far I can go on this road in the future.
It's a sophomore in high school.
You seem to be getting farther and farther away from my life, and I rarely seem to think of you anymore, except for the occasional moment in a daze, when lying in bed, my shadow always appears in my mind.
You~ seem to have become an unattainable dream in my heart.
It's about to enter the summer vacation of the third year of high school.
A month of vacation.
I followed my father on a plane to the southern continent, but I never imagined that I would later form a deep bond with this mysterious and ancient continent.
Following my father, I saw things I had never seen before.
In addition to the exotic customs, I saw real fighting for the first time, and although it didn't involve life and death, the bloody fists still deeply stimulated me.
Watching the whole fight, my dad didn't say a word, didn't explain to me, and didn't say much to me.
Late at night, head back to your accommodation.
Dad finally spoke: "Your grandfather, back then, was like this, he fought alive with the fist in his hand... I'm not bringing you here to let you participate in this kind of fighting, but just to let you understand the truth of martial arts. ”
"Martial arts originated on the battlefield at the earliest, and the purpose was to kill people. ”
"Murder?" is a word that I have only seen in the press and magazines since I lived in peacetime, and I never thought it would appear in my father's mouth.
"What I used to think was not to let you touch this, but your grandfather left a legacy. Daddy said.
I nodded silently.
In the next ten days, I experienced the first time in my life that I was exposed to martial arts, and I had my first martial arts training, maybe because of my good foundation, maybe because of my talent, my martial arts teacher was very satisfied with me.
He even asked my dad if he would like to stay.
Of course.
Ten days later, I was back on campus.
The experience of the Southern Continent, to me, seemed to be just a trip, except for me and my father, even my mother never knew everything, and life was back on track again.
But the trick of fate is that it doesn't depend on your will.
A fight that changed my fate.
I can't remember why, and I can't tell who did it first.
I just remember that I once performed a style of fighting that I had only been practicing for a short time in front of a friend, and it is true that martial arts are not invincible, but it is indeed easier to kill people than normal people's fists.
I didn't kill anyone.
Only five or six were knocked down, and several people were seriously injured ... I went in for the first time.
Stayed for two days and two nights.
Dad used a lot of connections and spent a lot of money to resolve the matter, but because the matter was so big, it even went to the newspaper, school... I can't go back for the time being.
Daddy made me kneel for two days and two nights.
Reflect on it.
I don't remember how I reflected, I just remember that for the first time, I realized that martial arts can be so powerful, it can not only strengthen the body, but also... Homicide.
Yes.
I remembered what my dad used to say, martial arts, it was born to kill people.
Maybe it was my dad who took me on a trip to southern Xinjiang that opened the Pandora's box in my heart, or maybe maybe there was a devil living in my heart, and after this accident, I seemed to have changed.
I left home and went to a school out of town.
Start with high school.
Somehow the gangsters around the school found out about what happened to me before, because I could fight, and they were willing to be friends with me... And I, maybe it's the rebellion of a teenager, maybe it's too long of repression, and I have come into contact with them.
It's black and white life.
Skipping classes, playing online games, going to bars together, fighting... I met all kinds of people, I saw the strange society, and I had a heart that was difficult to be quiet...
Two whole years.
Daddy is angry, Mom is angry.
I am indeed unfilial.
I couldn't read the school?, but unsurprisingly, I went in again, this time, my father was determined to teach me a lesson, I stayed for half a month, and finally my mother found my uncle...
I'm out.
And in the half month inside, I thought of many, many things, the teachings of my grandfather and grandfather, and the many, many words of my father... I thought about what I had done in the past two years.
I knew in my heart that I was not a good person, and the light I once wanted to get may have left a dark place in my heart after leaving me.
Yes!
Ignorant.
I think of you again, I think of everything about you, I think of the fairy girl I used to be, if there is light in my heart... Then you should be my last light.
You that I once didn't dare to think about, after many years apart, suddenly came to my mind.
Shoulder-length hair with a small braid. The slightly green face, the eyebrows, the mouth, the tip of the nose, and the most unforgettable smile, everything that was once was suddenly yesterday.
After a few days at home.
I talked with my dad for a whole night, maybe it would be better to use the word stalemate, and finally my dad sighed deeply and didn't insist anymore, this is the first time in my memory that my dad showed an old demeanor.
I just found out that my dad is forty-nine... It's not too young.
In the early morning of the next day, I didn't want my mother to worry, so I quietly left.
A train ticket.
It took me three thousand miles away.
When my former friends avoided me, when three or four years passed, all I remember in my mind is the small city that Lao Ban said, a small seaside town with a population of only 30,000 or 40,000.
I think you're already in college.
But, August day, you should be back.
I wandered around the streets of the city, I went to many neighborhoods, I looked for you according to my impressions, I even went to the local government department... Finally got a hint of your news...
Your neighbors tell me... When you first entered your senior year of high school, it seemed like you had transferred back to another school.
Fate is always like this, like to make one helpless joke after another.
You're back in your third year of high school, but I've just left.
That day, I sat on the highest hill in this small town, but my heart was surprisingly calm, and I was able to spend many days looking for you in a small town of thirty or forty thousand people... But in a big city with a population of 10 million... How do I get to you?
And, even if you are found... How should I deal with you?
This year, I was 19 years old, and I was stunned.
Three days later.
I got on a plane to the southern continent.
As I sat on the plane, looking at the mountains and rivers below, I told myself that it was time to really forget you, because the past would eventually pass, even if I didn't give up.
With the relationship introduced by my father, I successfully settled in southern Xinjiang, and then I learned how much the foundation of the two generations of my grandfather and grandfather is here.
Rely on your connections, rely on yourself.
In two years, with talent and hard work, I became a famous boxer in the entire southern Xinjiang, and I really got a glimpse of what my father called the 'martial arts gate', a truly magical road.
It's just that the road of martial arts, in this world and world, seems to have really come to an end.
In the dead of night, I always think of you.
This is the kind of person who says he forgets, but his heart is very real.
Perhaps, fate, is a wonderful thing.
On one of my leisure trips, by chance, passing by a small island, in the midst of thousands of people, I suddenly found you, I can no longer recall my mood at that time, only remember that my brain seemed to be blank.
It's been six years, you have no pigtails, long hair, and a white dress, which has undoubtedly shown you, only that face, lacking the slightest greenness of the past, exudes amazing charm.
What was once a little girl has become an elf.
I stood where I was, how I wanted to run over and grab you, and tell you how much I missed you... But I hesitated, it's been six years, we've only had a few six years? You who were once young are now grown up, can you remember me now?
I stood still.
All of a sudden, you turn around and see me as well, and you froze.
It's been six years.
Once young, we still recognized each other at a glance, this may be the sky to give us a chance to love, a fate, at that moment, I believe God heard my words.
Moment.
I can see, your eye sockets... Slowly red.
It's been six years, and the you I imagined in my mind slowly coincided with the you in front of me, and you are still that person, the person in my heart.
Time has made us strangers.
I greeted you awkwardly, and you also became a little hesitant from the excitement at the beginning, but the feeling buried in our hearts is slowly recovering after all.
Memories will always inadvertently pour out like a tide.
We are finally reunited.
Thank you fate, thank God, for giving you back to me.
The time to come.
I took you all over the mountains and rivers of southern Xinjiang, saw countless landscapes, and spent time together, so that we slowly melted the strangeness, melted the hesitation, and let us understand each other's minds.
One night.
You suddenly asked me, "I never knew you were practicing martial arts, I have been looking for you since my junior year of high school, but my former classmates have lost contact with you, how did you come to southern Xinjiang?
I froze.
What a familiar and distant term for me! How can I tell you?
I'm going to tell you, the black life I've ever experienced, the bloody fights I had in southern Xinjiang, or the shady schemes off the field?
I don't know, how do you react when you know what I've been through all these years, you're such a pure, elf-like girl.
At that moment, in front of you, everything about me seemed to be imprinted in front of you, and the devil in my heart seemed to be revealed.
I froze where I was, not knowing what to answer.
You seem to notice something, and suddenly say, "Don't you dare to tell me?" I actually checked some of your news on the Internet, and I also asked my aunt and Wang Peng about them... You don't have to say it. ”
At that moment, my heart went cold.
It's not hard to know what I used to do... Difficulty, after the reunion, am I going to lose you again?
Suddenly.
You hugged me.
Moment.
I can see, your eye sockets... Slowly red.
It's been six years, and the you I imagined in my mind slowly coincided with the you in front of me, and you are still that person, the person in my heart.
Time has made us strangers.
