"This Bai family is not worth your life. Bai Hongfang still turned his back to the old man and spoke.

The old man's intermittent laughter came from behind, and then the incomparably old voice came: "I've reached this age, and if I care about these things, I can't get by with sincerity." ”

Bai Hongfang shook his head helplessly, maybe because what the old man said was too realistic, he didn't know how to continue for a while, so he could only sigh and leave slowly, but just after taking two steps, the old man who almost never took the initiative to speak in the Bai family stopped him.

"You're a lot like White City. The old man said.

Bai Hongfang, who had stopped, heard this, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Many people used to say this. ”

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "What I said is not the appearance, but the appearance in the bones." ”

Bai Hongfang was obviously touched by this sentence, he slowly clenched his fists and said, "Compared to me, I am far behind." After saying that, he left a very depressed back, and then strode away.

The old man knocked on the old smoking gun, looked at Bai Hongfang's back, and couldn't help but recall that back in his mind, and put it back to many years ago, the young man who climbed from the bottom and even made people feel respectable was still alive.

But can this will be passed on? The old man shook his head helplessly, he had seen too many things and things were impermanent, and everything was as expected.

Bai Hongfang came to the front of the tea room, took a deep breath in front of the door, made great determination, knocked on the door silently, and then pushed the door in.

Bai Wenshan sat at the tea table, it seemed that Bai Hongfang had a memory, this man stayed in this tea room all the year round, sometimes he didn't go out for a few days, he didn't know why Bai Wenshan was able to endure loneliness so much, maybe it was because of this that Bai Wenshan was full of resentment, so extreme.

Bai Wenshan raised his head slightly, looking at Bai Hongfang, who was not good-looking, his expression was not too surprised, but smiled slightly and said, "Come and sit down and drink tea with me." ”

Bai Hongfang sat down opposite Bai Wenshan without saying a word, and then was silent like this, Bai Wenshan poured a cup of tea for Bai Hongfang in an orderly manner, and then silently tasted this cup of bitterness, as if talking to himself, and muttered: "I never thought that I was so old, eighty years old, and I didn't know how many years I would be able to carry it, and now I even have to work hard to make a pot of tea." ”

Bai Hongfang listened to Bai Wenshan's muttering, but he didn't feel anything, suppressed the flame in his heart and said: "Compared to the person lying on the ground, at least you can still drink a sip of tea and be a blessing, you are lucky enough." ”

This sentence was full of anger, but it did not make Bai Wenshan angry, he just put down the teacup, and then sighed: "That's true, compared to those bones, I can still live for a long time, but sometimes, living may not be a good thing, I would rather be in the storm ten years ago, I will leave completely in a way that I have done my best for the Bai family, but I didn't expect to be taken a step forward by your father, I have to say that he sees it better than me, because even if he survives, it is just torture and suffering." ”

Bai Hongfang didn't move the cup of tea in front of him, but sneered: "I don't think so, no matter how unsightly a living person is, it is better than a dead person, because those who are lying on the ground, even if they have a thousand or ten thousand sentences in their mouths, they have no time to speak, and you can at least be disease-free to me." ”

Bai Wenshan smiled, the smile was far-fetched, but it gave people a feeling from the heart, he said while laughing: "I have to admit that you are very similar to your father." ”

"Coincidentally, I heard the same sentence just now, but the entire Bai family passed him on as a god, but in my opinion, he is not so great, although he single-handedly made the Bai family one of the two major families in Xicheng District, although he left such a masterpiece, but I think he still failed, and he was completely defeated. Bai Hongfang shook his head, and there was a complicated smile on his face.

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Wenshan asked with some confusion.

If he was proud of this Bai family, he would not have chosen to be buried in Wohu Mountain, maybe in the end, he would be ashamed because of this Bai family. Bai Hongfang said, after saying this, he was ready for Bai Wenshan to be furious, because he undoubtedly touched Bai Wenshan's scales.

But this time, Bai Wenshan was unusually calm, his face was so calm that it made people feel weird, he coughed a few times, cleared his throat and said, "How do you understand, what the Bai family has gone through to get to this point." From when your grandfather took me and your father out of Lu Jiawei, and then struggled in this city for nearly 20 years, only to mix people are not ghosts and ghosts, I remember when he left, his face was full of resentment, and his eyes were full of unwillingness, this fatherless and motherless man since he was a child in the village has not been less blind, eating a hundred family meals and growing up, just like a wild dog cub, but this is how wild dog cubs, but the first to step out of Lu Jiawei, although in this city he has experienced countless tortures, abandoned the woman who gave birth to him for him, abandoned his own benevolence, but despite this, he was trampled on for a lifetime, but I don't think he is so sad at all, on the contrary, I feel that he is stronger than anyone else. ”

Listening to this unheard story, Bai Hongfang's expression was heavy, and he had to light a cigarette again to calm his emotions.

"The past of Xicheng is also the past of the Bai family, do you know how many storms of this scale the Bai family have experienced to come to this, this way, I look back at the past, it is an unbearable situation, if I have to do it again, I think I will never come alive, but now I am still alive, I think that since God can let me live to this point, he has his will, although I am still doing my own evil. Bai Wenshan looked at the sky outside the window through the only window in the tea room, and seemed to find what he had always coveted from this darkness.

It was the darkness that made him no longer believe in human nature, and now, he can't close his eyes and fall asleep normally, because there are always countless nightmares pulling him down, and when he wakes up in the morning, he is not really awake, as if he has been shot in the chest a few times, and his heart still hurts.

This kind of life tortures him, an old man who is half-immersed in loess, and perhaps this is the torture given to him by this Jianghu.

Bai Hongfang was silent, and then Bai Wenshan continued to speak lonely: " At that time, everyone thought that your grandfather lost, he paid what ordinary people could not imagine, but in the end he died nameless, the people of Lu Jiawei scolded him for his stupidity, and scolded him for dying rather than go back to see the white-eyed wolf of Crouching Tiger Mountain, in fact, I understand better than anyone else, he wants to go back to see Crouching Tiger Mountain, take a look at my mother, but he can't, because he hasn't won yet, and he can't turn back before he reaches victory, but it is extremely sad that he has not reached victory in the end in his life. But did he really lose?"

Bai Hongfang also asked himself in his heart, did he really lose?

Bai Wenshan shook his head and said: "He didn't lose, because he left your father full of resentment, that is, ten years later, he took advantage of a turmoil and became a blockbuster, and from then on, the word Baicheng was known to everyone in the entire Xicheng District." At that time, I realized that the man who was poked too much in the backbone did not lose, and won brightly, because without him stepping out of that Lu Jiawei, there would be no Bai family today, and those who ridiculed him have become even more pathetic bones than him, and today's Bai family may not be able to survive forever in Xicheng District, but it has already left a strong ink in the past in Xicheng, which is a singing and crying stroke, which is a stroke composed of blood and torture. ”

Bai Hongfang's body trembled, and he thought back to his mind about what kind of consciousness his father had back then, so he chose to return to the place that was destined to be scolded.

"And now, this is such a heavy everything, are you really willing to overturn all this? Are you really willing to bear this heaviness? I might as well tell you, if someone in the Bai family could really bear all this, I would have chosen to leave a long time ago, instead of suffering like now, but now in the Bai family, I can't see anyone, so I can't die, and I definitely can't die. Bai Wenshan clutched the purple sand cup he loved tightly, as if it was about to be crushed.

"It is precisely because of this that it is time to put an end to these heavinesses, because you really can't bear to go down to everyone in the Bai family and live with all this on your back?

Bai Hongfang said word by word.

"If death can really solve the problem, there will be no grievances in this world, why do you think Wei Jiu is still alive now, because he knows very well that he can't die now, if he leaves, what he leaves behind, what he leaves behind, is destined to be borne by someone, regardless of whether the bearer is ready for this or not. Bai Wenshan said to Bai Hongfang, he had seen through such a river and lake, and had seen through everyone's hearts, but he didn't see through himself, and it was only now that he realized that he had taken the wrong path, but it was too late.

"Then will your death put an end to all this?" Bai Hongfang finally said without hesitation, and it was this sentence that pushed the atmosphere of the entire tea room to another kind of cruising.

And the response that Bai Hongfang got was the laughter of this one-eared old man, as if Bai Wenshan had expected this, he said while laughing: "At this point, you are really similar to him, and it is precisely because of this that I have lived in the shadow of Baicheng all my life." ”
