Now, he finally understood what the man had endured, and he finally understood that the person who had been running away from grief was not Wei Jiu, but just himself, and this feeling made Bai Hongfang feel for a while that he seemed to have failed everything.

He also finally understood why Wei Jiu appeared last, the man was just afraid that the woman would leave with guilt, he was just afraid that she would not be able to help but speak in the end, he wanted her to still leave this world like that white lotus.

Bai Hongfang once thought that love was an extremely selfish thing, because there was always one party who was silently giving, there was always one person who could not do without one person, and for another person, this inseparable person was so dispensable, but now Bai Hongfang finally understood that the real so-called love is that two people are paying silently to deal with it at the same time, even if the other party will not notice, they would rather be like this for a lifetime.

And in the face of this absolute love, Bai Hongfang was ashamed to this point for the first time, and for the first time he felt that he was so unsightly.

"It turns out that so many years ago, the person who ran away from me was always me, not him. Bai Hongfang muttered, then turned his head to Wang Guoan and said, "Let's go." ”

Wang Guo'an, whose expression was also very heavy, nodded, and the two of them left the Xicheng Cemetery, which carried too many stories.

Back in the car, before Wang Guoan could ask anything, Bai Hongfang said an address, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Wang Guoan just started the car like this and drove slowly towards this unknown place.

Following the navigation all the way, Wang Guoan found that he had driven out of the city, and then drove along the outer ring road until he reached a place that looked a little like a wilderness, and then the car stopped in this place where there was no village in front of the village and no store in front of him, and there was a bare hill in front of him, which just covered all the sight of the small village under the mountain.

The moment the car stopped, Bai Hong opened his eyes, then turned his head to look at this small hill that had no appreciation, and muttered, "Do you know? ”

Wang Guoan listened to it and felt that this small hill that seemed to be less than a hundred meters above sea level really couldn't afford this well-known name, and it was really a bit nondescript.

"Let's go up. Bai Hongfang opened the car door and said.

Wang Guoan did not hesitate, so he parked the car on the side of the two-lane road, because there were few cars on this road, and only a tractor with black smoke drove slowly.

The two of them climbed up the mountain along this vague mountain path, and this Crouching Tiger Mountain, with only a few pine trees, did not give people any feeling of beautiful mountains and rivers, but looked like a poor mountain and bad water.

Climbed to the top of the mountain without much effort, there was a thick crooked neck tree on the top of the mountain, and under the tree, there was a very obvious small tomb, after seeing the tomb, and then through Bai Hongfang's expression, Wang Anguo couldn't help but say: "Is this this..."

Bai Hongfang didn't wait for Wang Guo'an to finish speaking, he nodded slightly, maybe he knew what Wang Guo'an would say in the second half of the sentence.

Walking forward, there was a tombstone in front of the small grave bag that looked a little old, and only two words were crudely engraved on the tombstone.

White City.

Bai Hongfang stared at these two words like this, and then said: "Back then, he left a will to be buried here, because sixty-two years ago, my grandfather took his two young sons out of this small village called Lu Jiawei, and stepped into the world he never imagined with a snakeskin bag on his back, and then he was extremely poor all his life, so that he had such a Bai family, until today, the Bai family is about to go to the end of five generations, he may not have thought at that time, the Bai family can grow to this point. ”

Bai Hongfang recalled that this was the past that the Bai family was most reluctant to mention, whether it was Bai Wenshan or the group of distant relatives of the Bai family, they were all trying their best to abandon this somewhat unpopular background, but as the real forging of the Bai family, Bai Cheng chose to be buried in this place where the Bai family felt ashamed.

"No one is born noble, and no one is destined to be trampled on all his life, the rise of the Bai family represents, in such a hot world, such a groggy and dispossessed guy, a blockbuster is not without any possibility, this was the most inspirational story for me, but now the Bai family has changed its taste, has changed beyond recognition, has been unsightly, they have forgotten why they are high. Bai Hongfang said that he was once deeply trapped in the quagmire of the ivory tower of the family, but the ten years since he left have made him completely see through what kind of existence the Bai family is.

Wang Guoan was still silent and didn't answer, he just thought that the topic was really too heavy.

"Maybe in the end, my dad finally saw through all this, so he chose to leave and choose to come back here, this Lu Jiawei, who may not have much affection for him, was buried here, and was slowly forgotten by this Bai family, but he was forever remembered by this Crouching Tiger Mountain. Bai Hongfang said, the whistling mountain wind blew the corners of his clothes, making this man look a little depressed.

He may have really thought about it, maybe this Bai family, don't want it, for him, the only bit of humanity left by the Bai family has already been completely diluted by those so-called interests and so-called ambitions, and he is really tired of all this, so he wants to be relieved.

"Ten years ago, did you even think that this Bai family was hopeless, so you chose to leave?" Bai Hongfang stretched out his hand to wipe the dust off the tombstone, and then muttered.

But somehow, how could this person lying in the ground give this living person an answer.

About this Jianghu, about this era, about this illusory family dream, it seems that everyone is a victim and there is no beneficiary.

Wang Guoxinzhong finally gave up the idea of continuing to persuade Bai Hongfang to return to Beijing, he had already seen Bai Hongfang's destiny in Bai Hongfang at the moment, although he still couldn't accept all this and accept such an ending, but what he could do now was to respect this man's final consciousness and choice.

In the end, Bai Hongfang turned around and looked at the small village called Lu Jiawei on the other side of Crouching Tiger Mountain from this angle, and stared deeply at the gradually rising curling smoke, which was isolated because of this Crouching Tiger Mountain, and it was impossible to see any sinister people's hearts, and it was also impossible to touch the red dust, as for the so-called war of interests, it was even more distant.

But this mountain can't stop those who yearn for the ambition of another world, one day, there will be another toad that jumps out of the warm water, one day, there will be a second Bai family, and then the cycle repeats, drawing a circle again and again, this is what happened in this era, in it, Bai Hongfang didn't feel any meaning, because such a long road will never end.

If that so-called end really exists, Bai Hongfang would rather believe that it is death, and only death is the end of all stories, but it is also the beginning of all stories.

"Let's go back. Bai Hongfang felt that he was tired of seeing these scenery, and then turned around like this.

Wang Guoan silently followed Bai Hongfang, and when he walked up and down the mountain, he turned his head and glanced at the small tomb again, he only had a desolate feeling in his heart, and let him have some irony, this former king of Xicheng District will only make people more desolate, and reality is always willing to open this ridiculous drama.

They all went down the mountain and got into the car, this time Bai Hongfang looked at the sunset that had been slowly setting, and then said to Wang Guo'an, who was driving: "Go back to the Bai family compound." ”

Wang Guoan started the car with a heavy face, although he was extremely reluctant to face it, but this last goodbye came.

Driving towards the Bai family's compound, the two of them were silent with each other along the way, and the atmosphere in the car was extremely depressing, even making Wang Guoan unable to breathe normally.

He has been with Bai Hongfang for eight years, for this man, he has gone from fear to respect, from respect to awe, he who was once desperate for this world, seems to have found a belief again, he just wants to live one more day, one more day, he wants to see what kind of height this once depraved gentleman can climb.

But what this world is best at is to crush people's illusions.

"Over there in the capital, it's all handed over to you, if Bingluan comes back in the end, he will give him this tofu shop if he is willing to fight, if he doesn't have this interest, just keep it, then the kid will need that one day sooner or later." Bai Hongfang explained in a calm voice.

Wang Guo'an listened to it in his heart, extremely uncomfortable, but tried his best to hide his sadness, nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely entrust the boss tofu shop to his hands." ”

Bai Hongfang nodded, he had absolute trust in Wang Guo'an, otherwise he would not have handed over everything he had left to Wang Guo'an.

"After following me for so many years, Guoan, I've suffered you, I thought we could live a comfortable life for a few more years, but I didn't expect to throw you such a mess in the end, I hope you don't resent me. Bai Hongfang said, for Wang Guoan, he felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.

"Boss, you don't know who I am? If it weren't for you, maybe the grave grass would be two feet tall now, so don't say anything you owe or not, feel guilty or not, my life is all yours." Wang Guoan said, although Bai Hongfang's actual age is a few years younger than him, but for Bai Hongfang, he is convinced.

Bai Hongfang's face was moved, but he sighed deeply, perhaps it was precisely because of this that he had a strong sense of guilt towards Wang Guoan in his heart, but what really made him feel helpless was that he had to leave with this heavy guilt.
