Chapter 8: The Night of Parting
It's time to go, even if there is a lot of reluctance, he has to put down the three children who have obviously grown up. It's time for www.biquge.info to stand on his own, and he also started his memory at this time. Jiang Li didn't want the three children to be like him, maybe a little selfish and dictatorial, and he always wanted to see three children like her. He never mentioned anything about cultivation, let alone taught them to practice. He had his own thoughts, and if he could, how much he wished it was his intention to stay in the fog. He was afraid, afraid that more frustration would knock him down, and he was disheartened, and he didn't want to go through that again.
Night!
It's a little dark today, there are no stars and no moon, and it's a night in Kyushu that is not easy to see. A lamp lit by Qu Xian Grass was shining in the hut, and Zi Ran's girl's laughter was heard from time to time. This should be their happy day, there is no obvious taunting among the children and no whispers from the adults, and the older children in the fog not only did not reject them but also loved them a lot, which should be the first thing I have encountered since I can remember.
"Brother, can we really be like Brother Dou Man?" Zi Ran looked at Zi Ming in disbelief. "They are so beautiful in color, and they can fly. Without waiting for Zi Ming to answer, she turned to Mo Xuan with great interest. "Brother Mo Xuan, you don't know, Brother Dou Man is so powerful, such a big stone, he only shook the rope in his hand, and it was all cracked with a bang. Zi Ran gestured as she spoke, and her two thin hands felt a little too busy.
Strangely, Zi Ming and Mo Xuan's emotions were not very high. They were all aware of something that was happening. Jiang Li is very strange, he didn't talk to them a lot before, but now he not only speaks, but also has a tendency to say endlessly. Life makes them go to the premature discovery environment, they understand the expressions on other people's faces, sympathy, they have seen it, disgust, they know, reluctance, this is what they see on Jiang Li's face now, and they are also puzzled.
Zi Ran didn't know, because she had her brother and uncle, she didn't have to find out about this too early. So, when both of them were suddenly silent and did not speak, she spoke. "I hate it, why don't you speak?Brother Mo Xuan, you have been with Brother Wanqian all morning today, and he hasn't performed for you?And you," she looked at Zi Ming, "You also stayed with Brother Chu Sheng and them for a day today, so many people, why are you not happy?" After speaking, she pouted and sat sideways.
Zi Ming and Mo Xuan still didn't hear her words, their eyes kept looking at the open door not far away, the night was getting quieter and quieter, and they were more and more clearly aware of the coming of the incident.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that the two of them were still ignoring themselves as usual, Zi Ran choked up a little aggrieved. "I didn't do anything wrong, so why ignore me?"
When Zi Ran's choked tone reached their ears, the two of them withdrew their gazes one after another, and since that time, the last thing they wanted to see was Zi Ran's tears.
"Xiao Ran, we haven't ignored you, we've been listening to you, haven't we?" Zi Ming's eyes swept over Mo Xuan, and Mo Xuan immediately said:
"Well, I promise, we've really been listening to you. ”
"You lied to me, you don't want to talk to me after you get here. What's wrong with me, did I do something wrong?"
Zi Ran's words with a crying voice made the two of them anxious, Mo Xuan stood up and walked to Zi Ran's side, and Zi Ming surrounded Zi Ran in the middle. "Xiao Ran, it's our fault, we were all distracted just now, I'm sorry! You must not cry, otherwise Brother Ziming and I will be scolded by Uncle Li, and you don't want us to be scolded." ”
"No, I'm going to let Uncle Li scold you severely. ”
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Li walked in from outside with a smile. "Who does Ran'er want me to scold, did the two of them bully you?"
Zi Ran suddenly threw herself into Jiang Li's arms, she had always been the most favored one. "Well, it's me who they bullied, Uncle Li will definitely help Ran'er, right?"
"Of course!" Jiang Li stroked Zi Ran's little head, and the reluctance in his eyes became even more obvious. He looked at the two little boys who were standing not far away with a slightly reproachful look, but he was surprised at what he saw. It shouldn't be the eyes of the two children, so bright, so quiet, and faintly insightful and decisive. Jiang Li hadn't deliberately looked into the eyes of the two children, and for five years, he didn't know how he brought these children up. yes, they've all grown up. Think about it, in which year did Xuan'er learn to walk? In which year did Ming'er cook her first meal? He didn't know, when the child was older, he gradually became distant. In the past, they always went home with their injuries, and he never seemed to ask, silently helping them check their injuries and then ignoring them. They had cried before, they were so eager that if he could speak for them, what a joy it would be. But, however, none of this has ever appeared. There were more fights, and there were fewer words from the children, especially them, two young boys. Jiang Li still clearly remembered what he said, "I won't stop you from fighting, but you can't let Ran Er get hurt again, she is a girl, your sister!" Since that time, he has never heard the sound of Zi Ran being beaten, and it was from then that time on, the two children changed, they never cried again, but he didn't find out. Thinking about it, the reluctance in his eyes turned into guilt, no matter how many reasons there are, it should not be a reason for the child to suffer. Maybe the parting just wants people to summarize and leave, but Jiang Li, who is about to leave, only to find that these children who follow him have suffered so much. They'll be stronger, they'll be stronger than me. Jiang Li thought so, blinked, and the liquid that was trying to gush out suddenly disappeared in the form of gas. He smiled and said, "Let's be honest, how did you bully Ran'er?"
Turning their heads to look at each other, the tacit understanding in time made the two determine the unknown. For so long, they have had a lot of feelings for Jiang Li, and the two words most are dependence and gratitude. They don't think of factual reasons, they don't need reasons.
"No, how dare we bully Xiao Ran. Zi Ming said, and Jiang Li also sat down on the stool that Mo Xuan had moved. Zi Ran sat on his lap.
"Brother lies," Zi Ran said, Uncle Li has always been her backer who she doesn't often use. "Uncle Li, they deliberately ignored me, isn't this bullying me?"
"Is that really the case?" Jiang Li pointed to the open space in front of him, motioning for the children to sit here. "Come on, I really have to reason with you today. Listen, Ran'er, I'll teach them a lesson in a moment. After the children sat down, Jiang Lidao said with a lesson on his face. "Ming'er, Xuan'er, I believe that you are all grown up children, even if I don't say it, you will spare no effort to take care of each other. He looked at Ziming. "Ming'er, you are the biggest, and you have always been the one who thinks about it the most. It's tiring because you can't lie down your younger sibling while you're still standing. Ming'er, we will all endure a lot of things in our lives one after another, and the people we care about should also be the first to bear them, regardless of joy or pressure. You have to be stronger, stronger, and you are also the most capable, and only when you are so strong that no one dares to bully you can you make others not bully your partners. I'm sure you can do it, because you've always thought and done it. As for Xuan'er, what should I say," Jiang Li looked at Mo Xuan's eyes with a somewhat complicated look. "Xuan'er, we are still young now, but we can't give up hope of growing up. Growing up is a road, this road is very long, and we will also walk for a long time, longer than the time we have taken from Yuncun to here. Xuan'er, do you remember what we all saw along the way? We have experienced the longest day and night, we have also stood at the bottom of the valley, but one day we have climbed to the top, as long as we are walking, the road will not just stay in the same place. Xuan'er, I know that you don't know what I mean by saying this, but I want you to remember, remember that what you have been walking has been chosen by yourself, since you have chosen, you must go on unswervingly, even if you are covered in bruises, you will have to be broken to pieces. You are all my children, and I hope to send you to the top one by one. It's just that what we should never forget is our original intention, and that pure heart will make you take shortcuts in many places. Ming'er, Xuan'er, you must know that this heart cannot be lost anywhere, and this heart contains the most important thing for you, do you know?"
Nod, even if you don't understand. They don't want to ask, they just watch and remember, they just want to listen like this, even forever.
"Ran'er, you see that I have trained them all stupidly, are you satisfied?" Jiang Li pinched Zi Ran's little nose.
"Well, I like to watch Uncle Li's lecture my brothers the most. If they dare to bully me again, Uncle Li will have to teach them this lesson. ”
"Okay, if they dare to bully Ran'er again, Uncle Li must still teach them such a cruel lesson. Jiang Li nodded, and then said childishly, "Then can Ran'er let them talk to Uncle Li?"
"Well, let them talk!"
"Ran'er is so good!" Zi Ran snuggled her head into Jiang Li's arms, and Jiang Li continued to say to the two people in front of him, "Ming'er, do you know the purpose of me bringing you here?"
"Hmm!" Zi Ming nodded affirmatively.
"Where's Xuan'er?"
"I know!" Mo Xuan nodded as well.
"I know that you are all the most obedient children, and now and from now on, no matter where you are or who you are, you are the most obedient children. But you can't lose your heart, no matter what the circumstances, you know?"
"Well, we will!"
"Promise me to take good care of everyone I care about, and don't let them get hurt anymore, okay?"
"Well, we will!"
"Don't let people bully you anymore, and don't bully people casually, you know?"
"Well, we will!"
The night was quiet, and the lights in the hut kept on and on until the fish belly on the horizon turned upside down.
