10. The past is like smoke

Wu Yuan walked alone on this familiar and silent path, this road, she has not walked for nearly fifty years, when she left here, she was 18 years old (converted according to the age of ordinary people), now, she is nearly 24 years old, although so many years have passed, but everything here is still so familiar, the osmanthus tree in the next room has spent three meals a day with herself, and she falls asleep to the howl of sea monsters every night, including graffiti on the stone slabs, stones on the side of the road, all this, It's all so familiar, even if she dreams of it, she will remember it, however, this is also a place she dare not face, she has grown up here for 180 years, and at the same time, she has been under house arrest here for 180 years......

Wu Yuan knew that when he couldn't walk or speak, he had already followed his father and two elder brothers to house arrest this place called Plague Spirit Villa, and the person who imprisoned his whole family was the overlord of the sea - Nie Huan (Chapter 10 of the Legend of the World). Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info he is his father's rival, and there is another identity, that is, his father's rival in love, since the death of his mother, the angry Nie Huan imprisoned his father, roughly on the one hand, it is to relieve his hatred, and there is also a very important reason, that is, to force his father to treat him.

Wu Yuan's father is the famous Shi Tangzhai's divine doctor Wu Daoxing (Shi's), so there are many people who ask him to see a doctor, and naturally there are things that are not human, these things are later Wu Yuan himself slowly knew, she doesn't know the grievances and grievances between them, she only remembers that when she was very young, she knew that Nie Huan's health was not very good, he imprisoned Wu Daoxing, and even forced his father to compromise with his children's family, but he also hated Nie Huan's father is a very tough person, in the decades he was imprisoned, despite all the torture, But he always refused to save Nie Huan, and it was in such an environment that Wu Yuan slowly grew up.

She hated Nie Huan, hated his family under house arrest, hated her father for dying under his torture, but at that time she was still very young, her father's voice and smile, she was vague, and her hatred was actually the result of the two brothers who kept repeating it, at that time, she couldn't tell right from wrong, the family said that Nie Huan was a bad person, he was a bad person, and the family wanted to cut Nie Huan with a thousand knives, so the daughter would also scrape Nie Huan with a thousand knives, at that time, Wu Yuan had no strength, but she knew that Nie Huan was very seriously ill, So she wished that Nie Huan would die quickly.

Time goes back many, many years ago -

Wu Yuan, the little girl who was pulled by the pirates and struggled was almost dragged back to the Plague Spirit Villa, she didn't want to go back, because if she went back, there would be no more freedom, she liked the stone road outside the villa, the long beach at the end of the stone road, the endless sea, only there, she was free (Chapter 10 of the Legend of the World).

However, when she thought that her first escape would be tortured by Nie Huan's most cruel torture, but Nie Huan's bland expression made Wu Yuan feel surprised for the first time, isn't he a bad person? Why aren't the bad guys angry?

"Bad guys! Why are you keeping me locked up, I'm going to get out! The 6-year-old girl rushed in front of Nie Huan and yelled and scolded.

However, Nie Huan, who was sitting on the steps, was not angry, compared to when Wu Yuan was very young, the sturdy Nie Huan had become thin and pale, "Yuanyuan, rely on my side to do it." Nie Huan pointed to the steps beside him and said. However, his kindness was scolded by Wu Yuan, and he didn't look like a little girl at all. In his eyes, Wu Yuan is an unruly and difficult little beast to subdue, compared to her grumpy, the second brother Wu Xiu has already turned the wall, and ran behind Nie Huan's ass, this child, does not like his biological father, and he has no disdain for the medical skills taught by his father, he likes Nie Huan's kung fu, likes Nie Huan's bold character, likes to gallop with Nie Huan like the sea, and acts chivalrous and righteous myths, and what is even more cute is that he has Nie Huan's kung fu on his lips and grows up to kill Nie Huan, But what kind of little Jiujiu is in his heart, only Wu Xiu himself knows. Nie Huan was not afraid, even if he was gray-haired and unable to move in the future, he was not afraid, and when he decided to let these children survive well, he was ready to be killed by them.

However, this girl who is very much like herself seems so awkward, she has a very stubborn personality, she is also very wild, and it is even difficult to be tamed, a little older girl, there is no cuteness of a girl at all, and she will not be coquettish like other children, but this Wu Yuan makes Nie Huan have a sense of accomplishment that wants to be tamed.

"Are you free after a day out in the wild? You're not going to be a pirate for the rest of your life! Nie Huan looked at Wu Yuan, his eyes full of ridicule and ridicule.

"No matter what, it's better than being locked up by you!"

"Humph! I really don't know how thick the sky is, come, tomorrow is still here, Lao Tzu will show you what is the real freedom! Nie Huan stood up, the majestic body made people have a sense of pleasure to conquer the world, Wu Yuan felt at that time that he would be like him in the future, although it was very bad, but he could turn the clouds and rain, and even completely defeat the enemy in front of him, this was her wish, but also her dream.

The next day, Wu Yuan went to sea for the first time, just like Li Qi, she saw a world that she couldn't imagine at all, since then, she fell in love with this sea that gave birth to her, she saw Nie Huan defeat the world's most terrifying monster with his small body, saw him shuttle between death without fear, commanding the fleet to catch huge monsters, thousands of times bigger than the sea fish he caught now, take off his clothes, the naked Nie Huan is so strong and majestic in the morning sun, The honey color of the whole body is familiar with the protruding muscles, but the injuries all over the body are hideous and terrifying. When he took the harpoon and jumped into the sea, but jumped out of the sea like Qi'er, just like the sea god, at that moment, Wu Yuan was confused, could such a god be a bad person?

Since then, Nie Huan often takes Wu Yuan to the sea, Wu Yuan will not forget every time he is held by Nie Huan's big hand, happily going to sea, his hand is very warm, very strong, but so rough, every callus hurts her, but Wu Yuan still likes Nie Huan to hold herself, remember that every time she comes back from the sea, Wu Yuan will always cry, she hopes to be like a fish, just like a monster, and Nie Huan will stay at sea forever, don't come back, don't see your brother, don't see a family full of hatred, I don't want to see myself under house arrest.

However, as she grew older, Nie Huan's illness became serious, I remember that when she was 8 years old, her father died, and she began to vent her resentment on Nie Huan's body, in those years, she wished that Nie Huan would die, she decided to ignore Nie Huan, she wanted to watch Nie Huan die of illness a little bit, in order to relieve the hatred in her heart, in those years, every time she went to sea, she had to compete with Nie Huan, just like a boy who refused to admit defeat, but now in retrospect, many, many times, it was Nie Huan who let herself.

grew up a little more, until Nie Huan couldn't move the hand holding him, and the once great Nie Huan had been tortured by the disease, Wu Yuan finally realized that Nie Huan was getting closer and closer to death, with his father's hatred, but every time he saw the sick and weak Nie Huan, Wu Yuan really couldn't get angry.

"Boy, you went to sea secretly behind my back! How old are your mother? Dare to command Lao Tzu's men! Maybe it was out of her intolerance for Nie Huan, she really didn't understand that Nie Huan wanted to run to the sea after being so ill, perhaps, lying on the bed and waiting for death was not Nie Huan's style at all, Wu Yuan knew that as long as Nie Huan still had a breath, he would definitely die at sea with a bang.

"Didn't I do a good job!" Wu Yuan retorted.

"Damn, I'm." Nie Huan, who was so unable to say a word by Wu Yuan, coughed several times, and it took him half a day to say this.

"One day Lao Tzu will replace you, sit in your place, and be a sea overlord like you! Who told you to kill my father? ”

"Don't mention your father, you are raised by Lao Tzu since childhood, how many times have you met your nominal father, do you think he is good to you?" Nie Huan asked angrily.

"Father?" At that time, when asked by Nie Huan, Wu Yuan was stunned, as Nie Huan said, she was indeed brought up by Nie Huan's hands, she was actually very strange to her father, very scared, and never even dared to call him father, and his father was also very indifferent to himself, in comparison, Nie Huan was better for himself, almost all of Wu Yuan's abilities were taught by Nie Huan, is it true that his father is not as good as Nie Huan?

"Nope! Wrong! I don't know my father well, but he is my relative, and besides, isn't all this caused by Nie Huan? The wavering Wu Yuan told himself repeatedly.

"What if you're not Wu Daoxing's child?" Remember that time, Nie Huan suddenly said coldly.

"Fuck you! Who is not my father's child, you bastard! ”

I remember that time, Nie Huan was noncommittal, just smiled, didn't say anything, and got up and left. Wu Yuan saw Nie Huan's back for the first time, with such an old back, staggering steps, slightly hunched back, it turned out that he was really old, that majestic Nie Huan was already old, maybe there were not a few years to live, Wu Yuan was a little sad, did he really want Nie Huan to die?

In the following days, Nie Huan's illness became more and more serious, his strange illness tortured him so much that it was difficult for him to walk, he was unwilling to die, he had seen all the doctors helpless, Nie Huan could only wait to die to live, however, this naturally hot-blooded man couldn't stay for a day, even if he was carried, he had to go to the sea, with Wu Yuan becoming a flower girl, Nie Huan also lived for these years.

I remember seeing Nie Huan for the penultimate time, I was 17 years old, that year, Nie Huan let go of all his family members - two brothers, and I don't know why, Wu Yuan was the last to go, because she wanted to say goodbye to Nie Huan, because she didn't know how to face Nie Huan in the future, so she chose to escape and wander, but she contradictoively chose to pretend to be Nie Huan's identity, perhaps, this is her last contact with Nie Huan, since then, it will never be seen again. At that time, Wu Yuan was very reluctant, she didn't even want to grow up at all, and wanted to be led out to sea by the strong Nie Huan like she did when she was a child, watching him catch a sea fin bigger than a house at sea, and shouting and cheering on the boat, however, time passed and never returned......

"Alas, Yuanyuan, I'll send you away......" That day, Nie Huan was unprecedentedly struggling to get up on crutches to send her, you know, at that time, Nie Huan had been unable to get out of bed for several months, perhaps, Nie Huan also knew that Wu Yuan's farewell might be goodbye to him.

He always called himself so fateful, this title, only Nie Huan would call it that, Wu Yuan heard her family say that she had no name before she was 1 year old, and her father didn't even want to give her a name, I remember that they always called themselves three sisters and three sisters, until they were imprisoned in the Plague Spirit Villa, Wu Yuan had his own name, she knew that this name was taken by Nie Huan, obviously, everyone who understands knows it, Wu Yuan's name expresses what kind of feelings Nie Owl has for his mother. Wu Yuan knew what his status in Nie Huan's heart was, every time, he called himself so kindly, every time, Wu Yuan couldn't resist such a gentle and affectionate title.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan somehow, the ghost envoy helped Nie Huan. Wu Yuan has never left here, he has never left Nie Huan's side, why, Wu Yuan, who is obviously leaving, is so reluctant, Nie Huan is already sick like this, he is still leaving, why is there so much reluctance.

"Do you really think I'm too sick to walk?" Nie Huan said angrily.

“………”

"Don't worry, you can't die!" Nie Huan said.

"I ...... Check back in a few days...... You. ”

"Forget it, Lao Tzu is alive and well." Nie Huan smiled with relief.

This stone road, they walked for a long time, Wu Yuan remembered that when she was a child, she almost ran down, because then she would see her favorite sea, but today, she didn't want to go fast at all, she even had an illusion, just like everyone said in a joke - she looks so much like Nie Huan, is it her daughter. At that moment, Wu Yuan really wanted to be Nie Huan's daughter, there had never been any family strife, there had never been any house arrest and hatred, if Nie Huan had always been his father, how good would it be.

Nie Huan sent her to the beach outside the town.

Wu Yuan reluctantly left the town, his heart suddenly hurt, and Nie Huan, who was getting farther and farther away in the distance, was like a stone statue, staring at himself for a long time, and he didn't leave at all. Wu Yuan quickened his pace and finally ran, and at that moment, this strong woman really cried.

When he was 18 years old, he returned to Canghai Town again, and after learning that he was gone, Nie Huan's body plummeted, and he even went to sea all day, as if he deliberately tortured himself to death, Wu Yuan was angry, just like how Nie Huan treated herself before, she also locked Nie Huan up, maybe in the eyes of others, Wu Yuan was taking revenge, but only she knew that only such a coercive method could make Nie Huan live well for a few more years, she really didn't want Nie Huan to die, she really didn't want to.

It was the last time I saw Nie Huan, lying on the bed, he was just coughing, almost unable to speak, at that time, Wu Yuan made up his mind that he never wanted to see Nie Huan like this again, what a torture it was for himself. He has always been the most important person in Wu Yuan's life. It is the enemy, the opponent, the source of all his pain, his guide, the god in his heart, his dearest, and even a loving father, who brings Wu Yuan the joy and happiness of eternal life, but also gives her infinite regrets......

However, if Wu Yuan wanted to watch Nie Huan die like this, Wu Yuan really couldn't do it, and in the end she chose to pretend to be Nie Huan and exiled herself, but for fifty years, she didn't think about Nie Huan all the time.

This road, just like when he went at the age of 17, Wu Yuan walked for a long, long time, and it seemed to be longer than the time Nie Huan sent him, so sad and complicated. She really didn't dare to see him, to see a Nie Huan who was so sick that she didn't know how, perhaps, she didn't dare to face such a father.
