Chapter 108: Departure
In the past ten days, Li Chen has not practiced or retreated like before, but has accompanied his parents every day.
After all, this time Li Chen usually left, and when he came back again, it was no longer clear when it was, so Li Chen had been by his parents' side for the past few days.
Li Chen is sixteen years old this year, but it is the first time to accompany his parents like this, originally Li Chen stayed in Lingyuan Valley most of the time, and Li Chen has too little company for his parents.
In the past few days, in front of his parents, Li Chen feels that he doesn't feel like a sixteen-year-old boy anymore, but has become a child in the eyes of his parents, and Li Chen also rarely enjoys this feeling.
I can't help but feel a little ashamed, Li Chen is sixteen years old, and it is the first time to accompany his parents like this.
During this period of time, everyone felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, after all, for many years, this family has always been together less and more separated, and this time, this family of three is going to be separated again.
Li Chen also had a rare leisure, did not retreat or practice his swordsmanship and body skills, during this time Li Chen only wanted to hand over to his relatives, and he didn't want to leave any regrets.
And today, Li Chen is also going to set off for Weidu, which he has never been to, because the distance is long, and Li Chen's speed is not something that ordinary people can keep up with, even if he sees him off, it is only a burden.
It will only slow down Li Chen's speed, so after discussion, there is no need to see Li Chen off, and it is too late for him to go alone, after all, the road is far away, and the time is relatively urgent, so it is too late to delay.
Li Chen accompanied his parents and walked slowly towards the country road, his mother had already cried into tears, this time Li Chen's departure, I don't know if it is suitable to be able to come back again, how can the family be willing to give up.
The father followed behind him silently, and slowly followed his son towards the outside, Li Chen's mood was also extremely heavy, and this parting made Li Chen extremely sad.
The mother's advice has long been chattering, and the mother is worried, the family is full of reluctance for Li Chen's departure this time, and the old parents are like knives, but they can't change it.
Li Chen has been cultivating in Lingyuan Valley since he was a child, so the time at home has become extraordinarily small, and the time he has spent with his parents is even more limited, even if he comes back for a few months, he spends most of his time outside.
It can be said that the company in the past ten days has been the longest companion of a family of three, and there has never been such a long time of companionship before, and now it is about to part, how can this be parted.
However, Li Chen's departure this time is doomed, even if he doesn't leave this time, one day in the future, Li Chen will definitely leave, even if he is not reluctant, he must give up.
Li Chen is their child, so they know better that their child is different, and they understand that their children's achievements in the future will definitely be ambitious, and they will not be trapped by this small valley.
The more children grow up, the more they understand that their children are different, and as parents, they feel deeply proud and proud of their children.
But as the child grows up, they also understand more that the day of separation is closer, after all, Li Chen will have a completely different life from them, and it is destined from his birth.
They know best that their children are different and talented, and they also understand that he has his own unique mission and future in this life, so it is even more impossible for them to stop their children from moving towards a broader world.
In their opinion, these ten days of companionship are enough, and they are most satisfied with their excellent children.
Although they have given Li Chen very little companionship since childhood, their love for Li Chen is no less than that of any parent in the world.
Li Chen listened to his mother's advice, and he was also extremely reluctant, of course he could understand his parents' love for him, and he could understand his parents' good intentions for himself, Li Chen couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
After all, in the small mountain village where he was born, the world is too small to allow Li Chen to spread his wings and soar.
Li Chen is destined to go to a broader world, this is something that Li Chen was born to doom, at this time, facing his most affectionate parents, Li Chen was full of reluctance.
This section of the road is extraordinarily long, the separation is imminent, every step is extraordinarily heavy, Li Chen accompanied his parents and slowly arrived in front of Qiandezhuang.
At this time, Qiandezhuang was already full of people before, everyone looked at Li Chen's side, everyone knew that today was the day when Li Chen was going to leave Kuishan Town, and the kind villagers came to see him off.
After all, in a small mountain village like Kuishan Town, it is already an extremely honorable thing to be able to produce a person who joins the army.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of honoring the ancestors, and being able to become a soldier proves that it is at least the strength of the Xuanzhao grade, and it is a leader with excellent strength.
It is extremely rare to be able to produce such a genius in such a small mountain village, so this is a happy event for Kuishan Town, and it is also a matter of leaving home to honor the ancestors.
Liu Kai and Li Feilong stood at the front of the crowd, and a group of people looked at Li Chen and his party in silence.
Li Chen accompanied his parents and slowly walked towards this side, and the mountain road out of the village was just after passing through Qiandezhuang, so everyone was waiting here to see Li Chen off.
At this time, because they saw that there were so many people to see them off, Li Chen's parents also hurriedly adjusted their state, after all, in this case, of course they couldn't be sad like that.
Li Chen slowly walked to the crowd, and his parents also stopped, after all, this is the most suitable place to see them off, and beyond that, there is no one standing on the country road.
At this time, Liu Kai stepped forward directly and said, "Li Chen, you are the first martial artist in my Kuishan Town to join the army for many years, and I also believe that with your strength, you can really join the army."
Going out to eat, wear, use and live need to spend, I Qian Dezhuang prepared fifty taels of silver for you as a coil as a road expense, I hope you cherish. ”
As he spoke, he handed a silver ticket to Li Chen, and he had to carry too much silver on his body to affect his travel.
Silver tickets are basically common in the entire Han Kingdom, and they are also an extremely safe way to trade, which is much safer than carrying cash directly, which is also a very safe way for warriors to carry around.
In the face of so many gifts, Li Chen was also a little embarrassed to accept it for a while, after all, with such a heavy amount, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little too heavy.
Then he said: "The owner of the village is too polite, I understand it, and I don't need so much along the way." ”
But Liu Kai didn't listen to Li Chen's excuse at all, originally this was the decision to give it to Li Chen, whether he wanted it or not, he wanted to give it to him.
Liu Kai said directly: "Don't be polite to me, this money is not much, you just use it, it is inconvenient to go out, I am afraid that this money is not enough for you to spend." ”
As he spoke, he directly stuffed it into Li Chen's hand, and Li Chen couldn't tolerate it anymore.
Of course, Li Chen didn't dare to continue to shirk, so he had to hold the silver ticket in his hand, and Li Chen also sincerely thanked the owner.
Although he doesn't get along much with Liu Kai, his character is still extremely upright in general, Li Chen also understands that this is someone who sincerely wants to support him, and Li Chen understands that he can't shirk anymore.
Li Chen clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply and said: "Thank you to the owner Gao Yi, Li Chen will not forget his great kindness in this life." ”
Liu Kai hurriedly helped Li Chen up and said, "They are all from the same township, so they don't have to be like this." ”
Waiting for Liu Kai to finish speaking, Li Feilong on the side also walked in front of Li Chen in two steps, obviously waiting for Li Chen for a long time, this respected patriarch of the Li family also has something to say about Li Chen.
Li Feilong held Li Chen's hands, and said with a slightly excited expression: "Chen'er, you don't have much time in Kuishan Town, but you are also my child in Kuishan Town, and I don't know when you will be able to come back after leaving this time."
Although we don't have much time together, the villagers of Kuishan Town still don't want to give up on you, child, you have to protect yourself this time.
You have to keep in mind that you can't have the heart of harming people, you can't have the heart of guarding against people, the outside world can't compare to Kuishan Town, you can't prevent fraud, you must have the heart of guarding against people, otherwise you will inevitably suffer.
If you have time, you will definitely come to see your parents, come back to see Kuishan Town, your roots are still here, and the patriarch and grandfather are also proud of your excellent child. ”
When Li Feilong said this, he was extremely excited, and Li Chen could also feel the true feelings of this respected old man for himself, and Li Chen couldn't help but be extremely moved.
Li Chen has never seen his grandfather since he was a child, but what this patriarch gave Li Chen is the feeling of a grandfather, kind, kind, and amiable, and Li Chen also silently wrote down his words.
Li Chen said to Li Feilong: "Patriarch Grandpa, your words have been recorded by Chen'er, you can rest assured, I will be anxious to stop your old words, and I will definitely return to my hometown in the future." ”
The old man also had tears in his eyes, and he took out another silver ticket from his arms and said, "Child, this is the eighty taels of silver that the villagers of Kuishan Town have raised for you together, and you must bring it."
Don't treat yourself badly on the road, don't be stingy with money at critical moments, be flexible, don't refuse this money again, take it well, child. ”
Li Chen saw the old man take out a large stack of silver tickets, Li Chen understood that these silver tickets must have been made up by the villagers one after another, and the simple feelings of the villagers moved Li Chen.
Li Chen looked at the villagers on the side, everyone looked at him with love on their faces, and everyone's feelings were extremely sincere, so that Li Chen couldn't say no.
Li Chen took the stack of silver tickets with trembling hands, Li Chen had already burst into tears at this time, and because of the simple feelings of the villagers, Li Chen felt extremely moved and moved from the bottom of his heart.
Li Chen bowed deeply to these simple villagers, and then said movingly: "The high righteousness of the elders, Li Chen will not refuse, and I will not forget the great kindness of my predecessors if I don't talk about it in the future." ”
What Li Chen said is also his heartfelt words, although he has not been in Kuishan Town for a long time, these simple villagers still regard themselves as children of Kuishan Town, and they have the most simple feelings for Li Chen.
Li Chen was moved by this simple feeling, moved by the true feelings of these villagers for himself, Li Chen is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he will definitely not forget such a great kindness in this life.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little moved, after all, this situation still felt extremely sad.
Li Chen said goodbye to these villagers, Li Chen was ready to leave, after all, there is no banquet in the world, Li Chen understood that the separation was imminent, Li Chen said goodbye to his parents and fellow villagers.
Directly embarked on this path to the outside of the village, Li Chen turned his back to his most simple villagers at this time and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Li Chen was reluctant to give up his parents, moved by the sincere feelings of the villagers, and even more reluctant to this land, for a while, Li Chen couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
Li Chen slowly walked outside, gradually moving away from his homeland, and suddenly Li Chen turned around and found that the closest and most beloved people were behind him!
