Chapter Seventy-Two: A Long Conversation in the House
Lin Luo and Lin Xun followed Zou Li around a hanging flower door, and then walked through the verandah, and came to Chen Bingfeng's bedroom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoThis is the first time the two of them have seen this man who has been constantly mentioned by Tang Guxi, so they are also a little curious about him.
Walking to the door, Zou Li suddenly stopped, turned to the two of them, and said: "I have already told Bingfeng everything about Xi'er, you don't have to worry, Bingfeng is not a person with a long tongue, and it will not be bad." β
"Seniors, please rest assured, as long as the predecessors believe in people, we have no reason not to believe. Moreover, Chen Gongzi is not an outsider, so he knows about it. β
Seeing Lin Luo say this, Zou Li nodded and pushed the door open with the two of them.
When the three of them entered the door, Chen Bingfeng was sitting in front of the couch drinking medicine, and the little boy just now was squatting next to the bed, feeding him a spoonful of medicine with a spoonful of medicine. The man sitting on the bed looked sickly, his face was pale, the blood on his lips was gone, his eyebrows and eyes were flat, his eyes were lowered, and he was drinking the medicine one by one. Seeing someone coming in, he paused slightly, slowly raised his head, and looked at Lin Luo.
Just now, he lowered his head, his face was haggard, and his forehead hair was scattered, so Lin Luo and the others did not see Chen Bingfeng's true face clearly. It wasn't until he raised his head and looked over here that the two of them secretly admired in their hearts. Although Chen Bingfeng is terminally ill and soft, but at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, he still has that heroic spirit and Ling Ran that have not been taken off, and his temperament is like snow, he is proud to the bones, and although his body is dragged down by a bad disease, the small details that only people who practice martial arts can understand since he was a child are still taken into the eyes of the two of them.
Zou Li walked to the bed, leaned over and asked, "How do you feel today?" β
"Much better." The man on the bed said softly, his tone soft and weak.
Zou Li nodded and motioned for Fang Yue to take the medicine bowl away, Fang Yue got up obediently, picked up the leftovers, turned around and walked out, and closed the door gently.
"Uncle, these two are ......"
"It's the two people I told you about the other day." Zou Li sat on the couch.
Hearing this, Chen Bingfeng slowly turned his head, his eyes fell on them again, and when he looked at them, he smiled lightly and sighed: "I only heard his name at the beginning, but I didn't see his person, so I felt that he must be a good person." When we met today, I found that it was a thousand times more extraordinary than I imagined. β
When Lin Luo and Lin Xun heard this, they stepped forward and saluted Chen Bingfeng. Lin Xun couldn't hold back at first, his heart was full of joy, and he said aloud: "Childe is really polite. When my sister and I saw Childe today, we really felt that it was jade and metallographic, and it was a glimpse! I have heard that Miss Tang mentioned you, and today I really saw the true face of the son, and it is really ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Luo cough lightly, Lin Xun reacted at this time, and he stopped his mouth and turned his eyes to look at Chen Bingfeng. I saw that his eyes trembled, and he hurriedly withdrew it, and his eyelids lightly covered the dark eyes below, and the two of them didn't know what to do, but they saw him raise his head, smile slightly, and his eyes were clear.
"You don't have to care, Xi'er grew up with me since she was a child, and I treat her like my own sister." He smiled, and although his voice was weak, his words were warm like a spring breeze, so that the two in front of him no longer felt embarrassed.
"Chen Gongzi can have such a heart, Lin Luo admires it."
"Don't stand still, sit down." Zou Li pointed to the chair in front of him.
Chen Bingfeng squinted his eyes as if he remembered something, and there were words in his mouth, "Lin Luo...... Lin Luo ......" He looked up and asked Lin Xun, "What about this son......"
"Find it in the lower forest!" Lin Xun said clearly, smiling brightly.
"Lin Xun, Lin Xun...... Fall, find ......" Chen Bingfeng muttered a few more times, still puzzled. Zou Li, who was on the side, saw him like this, pondered for a while, then looked at Lin Luo and Lin Xun with a smile, and said, "I see, it's Xun and Luo, right?" β
Lin Luo and Lin Xun glanced at each other, both of them smiled, looked at Zou Li and nodded.
"Seek, look for the stream. Fall, fall...... What does the word 'fall' mean? β
Lin Luo smiled lightly, and was about to speak, but he didn't want Chen Bingfeng to be the first to speak: "It's 'Luo', and the word for the horse is 'Luo', in the old days...... Nanguo surname. β
Lin Luo was stunned and sighed: "Childe is so smart. β
Zou Li glanced back at Chen Bingfeng, quite surprised, he gathered his gaze, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly, "Yes, it's 'Luo'." You teachers and mothers really have a deep meaning. β
Lin Luo and Lin Xun nodded, their thoughts seemed to drift to Xizhou, and there was an extra layer of loneliness on their faces.
"Listening to Fang Cai Lin Gongzi's words, it seems that Xi'er is very familiar with you?" Chen Bingfeng saw that the two were silent, so he said, "That's fine, my uncle and I will rest assured." Xi'er has been willful since she was a child, and she has a big temper, and she often speaks out badly and hurts others and herself, so I hope you two can take care of it more. β
"Childe can rest assured, her temperament, I am afraid that it will be effective when she meets others, and when she meets the two of us, it can be regarded as a soldier who will block it and cover it with water! When my senior sister and I went to the north with her, there were indeed some stumbling blocks on the way, but it was nothing, after all, Miss was a person with a cheerful temperament, and she was happy to take revenge, which was also in line with our sister and brother's appetite! β
Lin Xun said, and the three of them laughed again.
It's just Lin Luo, hearing Chen Bingfeng's remarks, he couldn't help but sigh. Thinking that he is also a person of the most affectionate and sexual, he is even more caring and considerate of Tang Guxi, but it is a pity that he has been lying on the sickbed for a long time at this moment, and he can only suffer in this life. Thinking about it this way, the fates of the two of them are very similar, but Chen Bingfeng's variables came too early. And what awaits Tangguxi is far from being as simple as illness.
Seeing that Lin Luo lowered his hair and was stunned, Zou Li reminded: "Miss Lin just said that she wrote the letter, please tell Feng'er." β
Lin Luo nodded, and told Chen Bingfeng what Fang had just said to Zou Li. After Chen Bingfeng listened, he did not rush to speak, but fell into deep thought, and there seemed to be a thousand threads of worry between his eyebrows, which could not be opened and uneven. Lin Xun and the others knew what he was worried about, after all, for Chen Bingfeng, it was equivalent to deceiving Tang Guxi.
Seeing this, Zou Li said: "The old man can't make a decision on this matter, it still depends on Feng'er's meaning." If Feng'er writes, then you two can take it, if he doesn't write, then the old man ...... I can't help it. How about you two respecting his intentions? β
"That's natural," Lin Luo said, "The seniors and sons have already helped us so much, we don't have the shame to ask for more." Since Childe is unwilling to do this, then ...... We won't force it either. Chen Gongzi, please also ask you not to blame us for the method we had to come up with. β
"Yes," Lin Xun smiled wryly, scratching his head, "We also thought that Miss Tang would definitely not be able to let you go when the time came, so we came up with this plan to make her make up her mind to leave Sheng Ge...... YouβDon't be angry! β
Chen Bingfeng's eyes fell to the ground, he exhaled lightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he raised his eyes to look at them, and the words he said made them unexpected: "I promise." β
"What, you promised?" Lin Xun exclaimed.
"Feng'er, you've figured it out. As soon as Xi'er leaves this time, it is likely to be goodbye to us, and if she knows that she has been deceived by you in the future, I am afraid she will ......"
"Uncle, you don't have to say any more." Chen Bingfeng said lightly, "If I don't write, she will always have a stone in her heart, how can she travel away easily and openly?" Bingfeng, unwilling to be this stone...... Only if I write it and tell her that there may be an antidote to my cold disease in the other four countries, will she follow the two of them without hesitation! Speaking of this, he took another deep breath, and his voice was much lighter, "By the time she knows the truth, I will have already left the world and have no quarrel...... What is the use of hating or not hating? Bingfeng will die eventually, so why not make this death meaningful? β
When Zou Li heard this, he couldn't help but sink his head, his face was sad and gloomy, and he frowned tightly and stopped talking. The whole room was silent for a moment, as if it had fallen into a deep valley, and there was not the slightest sound.
"Actually...... Chen Gongzi," Lin Luo felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, Chen Bingfeng's promise to this matter did not bring her much joy, but brought an indescribable sorrow, "I also know a little bit about your cold disease from the mouth of Miss Tang and my predecessors, although I don't know where in this world there is a master who can develop an antidote to this disease, but on the way back to China, I must pay careful attention, if there are similar home remedies, I will quickly send them to Sheng Ge to save Gongzi's life." β
"The girl has this intention, and Chen is very grateful." Chen Bingfeng smiled lightly, "It's just...... There is little hope, and you two don't need to have any insistence, I have already seen life and death, according to Taoism, death is also another realm. Therefore let none of you be burdened, uncle...... The same goes for you. Otherwise, even if Bingfeng gets to that side, he won't be at ease......"
After that, Chen Bingfeng paused for a moment, looked up at Lin Xun, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Lin Gongzi bringing the paper inkstone at hand." β
Lin Xun turned his head and saw that there was indeed a board on the small table at hand, with a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, all of which were gathered. The ink on the inkstone is still sufficient, and the brush on the edge of the paper is still dry, thinking that this Chen Gongzi is also a good reader of poetry and books, and loves to splash ink, but it's a pity......
He picked up the board, raised his eyes to meet Lin Luo's gloomy gaze, and saw her expression gloomy, presumably the same as what he thought.
Lin Xun didn't stop any longer, he got up straight and came to Chen Bingfeng's couch, standing there, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zou Li, and when he saw him nodding, he put the board next to Chen Bingfeng's bed.
Chen Bingfeng did not hesitate at all, reached out and took the pen, dipped it in ink, and slightly lifted the cuff of his right hand with his other hand, and wrote it on the paper.
Although he was haggard and weak, his writing was completely different. Although the pen is slow and laborious, the pen power is bone-blowing, like a dragon, and the words are like a loose horse, graceful and elegant, and come into the air. Lin Xun is not admired! I looked at it in a daze.
After Chen Bingfeng finished writing, he took the envelope handed by Zou Li, put it in and sealed it, and then handed it to Lin Xun.
"Chen Gongzi, I admire you more and more! If you can find a friend like Chen Gongzi in this life, who is both civil and military, and has both ability and political integrity, it will be regarded as no regrets in this life. Lin Xun took the letter, his eyes lit up, and he said with a radiant expression.
When Chen Bingfeng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but he accidentally caused another burst of coughing, Zou Li hurriedly handed over the water and fed Chen Bingfeng a few mouthfuls before he eased up.
"Don't be surprised, Xun'er has always admired those who write well, and he used to practice at home from time to time, but he was too playful and never insisted, so he ...... I only learned a mess. Lin Luo explained.
"Sister! How can you talk nonsense? Lin Xun hurriedly said, "Although I can't write well, it's not a mess!" β
Hearing this, Zou Li and Chen Bingfeng both laughed, Chen Bingfeng calmed down and said, "My words are far from my uncle's, I'm afraid it's less than one-tenth of my uncle." If you want to admire, it's better to admire your uncle. β
Several people talked and laughed in the room for a while, until Chen Bingfeng was tired, and the three of them walked out. Since he got sick, Zou Li hadn't seen Feng'er look as good as he did today for a long time, and talking to these two like-minded young people made him feel like he had been reborn in an instant, which was completely different from the state he had in the past when he was with Fang Yue.
It was also at this moment that he seemed to understand what Feng'er meant by "looking away", and why he was no longer attached to life...... Just like Mi'er who he let go just now, for Feng'er, who was trapped at home by illness and couldn't walk an inch, wouldn't this kind of muddy and nightmare day make him worse than dead?
He has been up and down for decades, and his grievances and hatreds are all downplayed, but only the cold illness on his nephew's body and his wife and children who died because of him 20 years ago have become the biggest knot in his life and the biggest regret.
