Chapter 527: Mourning
The news of Luo Dixing's death soon spread to the Luo family.
"Sir, this is the video of the battle at that time. After a purple-clothed subordinate finished the report, he handed over a piece of jade slip, and at the same time stood aside to watch it, so that he could solve it at any time.
"The master told us to focus on this person, and we were going to save him, but the Yin Wind Stream of the Yin Wind and Hell was really terrible. In his case, most of them were dead. ”
Luo Mutian silently watched the whole video, shook his head, and sighed heavily: "I didn't expect it, I even lost my eyes." That kid was so incompetent, he died at the hands of that Ye Shuo! The money invested in him could only be regarded as a waste. ”
The subordinate of the Luo family carefully observed the old man's expression and asked, "So, the entrustment to protect his family, do we still want to continue?"
Luo Mutian flicked his sleeves angrily: "Since he is already dead, naturally there is no need!" He seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't know which made him more angry about the loss of a magic crystal card or his own eyes.
Luo Shenxing also accompanied him, and smiled mysteriously at this time: "The magic crystal card that was given to him at the beginning is not low...... Since he took the initiative to give us the address, why don't you land on his family and get it back?"
“…… I'll pay it back for me. ”
Luo Mutian was still pondering, and a faint voice suddenly sounded in front of the hall.
Ruan Shi walked in slowly, his eyes straight, almost like he didn't belong to his soul.
Fang Cai's video was played in the form of a projection, and Ruan Shi could see it clearly outside the door.
At that moment, a piece of long-standing faith in his heart also died.
From that video, he could clearly feel all the unwillingness and resentment of Luo Dixing. He had tried his best to make a turnaround, but the turnaround didn't happen in the end, so he could only watch death come like that......
No one can help him, no one can save him. In his most desperate moments, there was nothing he could do. Then after his death, taking on the debt for him may be the only thing I can do for him.
Luo Shenxing glanced at him with disdain: "You are only living in our house now, where do you get your salary?"
Ruan Shi pleaded: "Please! I will do two jobs, and I will definitely pay it off until it is paid off! Don't bother his family again, please." Eventually, he slowly bowed down.
Although I am usually in the Luo family, it is normal to see the master nodding and bowing his head. It's just that this time it's the heaviest.
Luo Shenxing still looked disdainful, and when he saw his father nodding, he reluctantly responded: "Okay, okay, okay." There really are friends like you who will be righteous to the dead. ”
***
At the foot of the Dingtian Mountains, in a small remote mountain village.
Ruan Shi followed the address left in the Luo family's register and searched all the way.
He just wanted to see Luo Dixing's family. At the same time, Ruan Shi did not want them to hear about his death from the mouths of those with bad intentions in the future.
Standing in front of a small dilapidated hut at the corner of the village, Ruan Shi raised his hand and knocked on the door. The worn-out door seemed to crumble if it was knocked a little harder, cracks spreading, and a few pieces of barely filled cotton wool were stuffed inside, but the cotton wool had long since shrunken. In winter, I don't know how much air leakage.
Before coming here, Ruan Shi had worked all the way to the draft. But when he really stood here, he suddenly felt that nothing came out.
At the same time, there was always a sense of unreality in his mind. Why did a good person die like this? Not long ago, they used to drink together, talk together, talk about lofty ideals, he was fine at that time, why...... If not, it's gone?
Thinking of the old things, Ruan Shi's eyes were a little red. For some reason, he suddenly lost his courage, and just as he wanted to turn around and flee, the dilapidated wooden door "creaked" open.
Standing in front of the door was an old man who looked to be in his last years, every wrinkle on his face was engraved with the wind and frost of the years, and his eyes were full of wariness of strangers. Beside him, a young boy born in pink was curiously probing his brain.
"Who are you looking for?"
Ruan Shi looked at the father and son in a daze, and it took a while to come back to his senses, hurriedly suppressed the sourness in his heart, and responded: "I...... I'm a friend of Brother Luodixing. It's him...... Let me take a look at yours. On one side, he lifted one of the baskets in his hand slightly. It was a specially selected condolence item that he had specially selected when he went to Dingtian City before.
Hearing his son's name, the vigilance in Luo Laohan's eyes disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by an unprecedented bright smile, which opened the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. This smile even made the wrinkles on his face much less. It's just that such a smile, in the eyes of Ruan Shi now, is very sad.
"Come on in. The kid had never had any friends come to the house before, and you were the first. He moved his stiff legs and feet, and welcomed Ruan Shi in a somewhat awkwardly manner.
It was this first time that made his whole person mess up, running around the house, one moment making tea for Ruan Shi, and the next moment remembering that he should clean up the house first, "It's dirty and messy here, and I showed jokes to my son's friends." After working for a long time, he remembered to take the basket in Ruan Shi's hand, "You are really, you are here, and what gifts do you bring." ”
“…… Uncle, don't bother, I'll sit down and leave. Ruan Shi felt that every word he said was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
And now he was looking around. This room really reflects poverty to the extreme, leaking on all sides, damp and cramped, there is only one room in total, all the sundries are scattered in all corners, even the small wooden bed takes up half of it, and there is not even a place to settle in the room.
The house is surrounded by walls, and the only piece of furniture is probably just a wooden table that is also cracked on all sides, and there are a few open-edged bowls on the table. The wooden table is low in height and is flanked by a few broken straw mats. When the family eats, they probably just sit on the floor, just to save money on those chairs.
Luo Laohan hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and made a special trip to wipe and wipe one of the straw mats, before pulling Ruan Shi to sit down at the table and bringing another bowl of turbid tea. There was both excitement and a bit of cautious trepidation. Ruan Shi knew that this old man from the countryside was doing his best to entertain guests, and he was really afraid that he would make his son lose face in front of his friends.
Ruan Shi silently took a sip of tea. It was the most bitter tea he had ever drunk in his life. There is still a pile of stone slag mixed in the tea leaves, but in this house, this may be a rare thing that they are reluctant to drink during the New Year's holidays.
Get up, although I have been friends with Luo Dixing for many years, I have never been to his home. He didn't expect that Luo Di Xing, who was always superior in the Dingtian Mountain Range, would grow up in such an environment.
Although his family background is not much better, his father is an elder in the door, and he has always been at least not worried about food and clothing. It seems that he is really not qualified to discuss poverty with Luo Dixing.
That bowl of tea, Ruan Shi was really in no mood to drink it. But in order not to make Luo Laohan feel that he disliked his hospitality, he still stubbornly drank it one by one. Seeing that he was satisfied, Luo Laohan kept sitting next to him, looking at him and smiling.
"Alas, my son is really quite willful, I know that he must have caused a lot of trouble and offended a lot of people outside, and I can't control him. You're his friend, and I'll have to trouble you in the future, so I'll help take care of him a little more. ”
“…… Actually, Senior Brother Luo has always been taking care of me. Ruan Shi said sincerely. In the past, in the Dingtian Mountain Range, the identity of Luo Dixing's friend alone had already inadvertently solved a lot of troubles for him.
Luo Laohan nodded with satisfaction, in his opinion, this was just Ruan Shi's kind words. These children in the countryside are all so sensible and can behave better than their sons, but they all sincerely respect their sons. Perhaps, this is what those children usually talk about "friendship between men".
The friend who met his son for the first time, Luo Laohan talked about it happily, and he kept pulling Ruan Shi and chatting for several hours. Most of the chats are about some interesting things about Luo Di Xing from childhood to adulthood. Like every father who shows off his son, it is only when he picks up his son that his eyes shine with pride.
Even though he is just a farmer who swings a hoe in the countryside and farms, his two sons are the best gifts that God has given him. Because of them, he felt that he had lived even more fully than the king. He spent most of his life raising them, and he also believed that his son would be successful. When he grows old, he will surely enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren.
These happy memories and longings, the more Ruan Shi listens to them, the more they don't taste it. A spell flashed in his mind repeatedly: "But, he's no longer there......"
"This kid has a really strong personality, he was never coquettish when he was a child, and he didn't cry when he fell. He always wants to be strong, so he must first demand himself with the standards of the strong. Sometimes, though, I really wish he could be a little more clingy to me. ”
"He never made a few friends decently, because he always liked to be the boss and liked to be listened to. However, he is also really righteous to his little brothers, and when something happens, he absolutely defends them to the end. So the kids were very respectful of him. Later, I thought, maybe this is their unique way of expressing friendship. ”
"But he's no longer there......" Ruan Shi felt bitter in his heart. Even though tears had pierced his eyes, he couldn't show a little sadness. In the face of the enthusiastic Luo Laohan, he forced his smile again and again, and tried to pretend that everything would really get better and better.
"Later, he grew up, and the longer he grew, the better he looked, and this was also up to his mother. So it started to be very pleasing to girls. For parents, knowing that the child they love with all their hearts and minds, and that there are many people in this world who love him equally, is already a very satisfying thing. ”
"I remember that in order to get close to him, a girl came to help with the housework every once in a while, and she was really a good girl. But once when he came back, I didn't know what had happened to him, so I ran away crying in anger. Alas, I can't wait to beat him with slippers, but in the end I still can't bear it. ”
"Growing up, I really didn't even touch a finger of him. As long as I see him standing in front of me in peace, then what is there that cannot be forgiven? I am reluctant to hurt him in any way!"
"But he's gone...... You used to work so hard to protect him, but now he was beaten and bruised outside, and he didn't even have his life......" Ruan Shi's hands slowly tightened under the table, and in order to restrain his emotions, the back of his hands were covered with bruises.
"Maybe in the eyes of many people, he is a bad boy, but he has always been my pride for me! and he is really good to his family. It's just that he hasn't been in touch with his family for a long time recently. I thought, maybe he's out there doing something big. The thought that he's succeeding somewhere gives me great relief. ”
"But he's gone. The person who made you proud, he is no longer there......" Ruan Shi really felt now that he had made the wrong trip. He came to this happy family with a tragedy that only he knew, and he had to pretend that nothing had happened here, which was really a kind of torture.
When Luo Laohan came here, he suddenly raised his head: "By the way, do you know his recent situation?"
Ruan Shi was taken aback. He knows the situation, how can he export it...... But if he was asked to concoct a false message of peace, he still couldn't open his mouth......
Seeing that he hadn't answered for a long time, Luo Laohan also frowned a little confused. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
Just as Ruan Shi was quickly looking for an excuse, a wooden model of a carriage suddenly appeared at his feet. Judging from the appearance, it is indeed quite realistic, and the original manufacturer must have put a lot of thought into it.
The child I saw at the door before, that is, Luo Dixing's younger brother Xiaoxing, was pushing the wooden carriage vigorously on the ground. With a bright smile, he pulled his sleeve and cheered: "Car, car, big brother, look, it's a pony carriage! It was my brother and I who made it together!"
Ruan Shi's nose was sour, and at the same time, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. He really couldn't imagine what scene Luo Dixing would have when he accompanied his younger brother to do carpentry work...... Raised his hand and touched Xiaoxing's head stiffly, forced out a smile, and asked, "Xiaoxing, do you like your brother?"
Xiao Xing didn't notice the strangeness in his expression at all, and an innocent smile bloomed on the spot: "Of course! I like my brother the most!" Even his brother, who he has always been proud of, can see a little starlight in his eyes.
What emerged in Ruan Shi's mind at this moment was at the end of the video, Luo Dixing was lying alone in the snow, coughing up blood one after another. But no matter how hard he tried, he was still trying to hang that breath.
If it were still possible, he would still want to go back to his family, he didn't want to die...... But no one could save him.
On that day, Ruan Shi could no longer remember how long he had been sitting with them, what had happened, and he could not remember how he had left. However, he still couldn't get out of that sad news.
They have already lived a very hard life, and only the last bit of hope is left, can they bear to extinguish this last bit of hope?
After walking a long way alone, Ruan Shi squatted down on a small hillside. From here, you can also see the direction of the Dingtian Sect from afar.
Senior Brother Luo, you used to be so dazzling at the beginning, but now that you are dead, there is nothing left.
No one will feel sorry for you, and your loved ones don't know about it, they are still fantasizing that you are succeeding somewhere.
If I die one day, I won't even be able to find someone who cries for me......
Looking back to the time when they were in the Dingtian Mountains in the past, they were actually very well protected, like flowers in a greenhouse. When they left that paradise, they realized how cruel this real world was.
All the glory left behind is a thing of the past, and the future needs to be explored by themselves. And now in front of them is this backwater future.
At the beginning, the two most dazzling geniuses of the Dingtian Mountain Range, Mo Liangcheng's hands were crippled, and his cultivation was completely mourned, and Luo Dixing was dead. Their youth, the youth of all, has been drawn to a cruel end.
He still remembered that a month ago in the VIP room of the Luo family, when Luo Dixing was half drunk and half awake, he once said such a thing to him.
"I've been alone. I don't have a strong background, if I die, there will be no strong people who will desperately come to avenge me, and I will not pay a whole sectarian force, death is death, like a handful of ash on the beach, the wind blows and disperses. …… But even if it's just me, I'll definitely fight him to the end!"
Ruan Shi sighed deeply, looked into the distance, and secretly made a decision.
I can't reveal the news of his death, otherwise given the knowledge of those who have been enemies with him in the Heavenly Mountain Range, it will affect his family. Let everyone think that he is quietly succeeding somewhere.
Fill the bowl and slowly sprinkle it in the direction of the Dingtian Mountain Range.
"Senior Brother Luo, I salute you for this bowl of wine, and you can go all the way. ”
