Chapter 146: The Old Man's Heart
"Hmm. The old man nodded lightly, as if he didn't want to say more, and when he was full of wine and food, the two children went to wash the dishes together, and then said softly to Qin Yang:
"These two children are also poor people, they were picked up by me when they were young, I was blind, I couldn't tell who was the elder brother and who was the elder sister, so I determined the elder according to the way of which of them spoke first, and the earlier I spoke every day, it was the elder brother. ”
The miserable life experience of the two made Qin Yang understand why the old man was so secretive at the dinner table, and he was afraid that the inappropriate words would arouse the grief in the hearts of the two children.
His love for the two children made Qin Yang awe-inspiring, this is a kind of love without blood, and it makes people feel great.
Tian Tian and Tian Tian's life experience also reminded Qin Yang of himself, he was also an abandoned baby, recalling the past in the welfare home, Qin Yang's heart was sour. However, he thought that he was also lucky, he met Li Yuqian, Qin Feng and others, who were accompanied by them in the lonely years, like a bright light in the eyes of the middle and dark.
It's just that Qin Yang sighed slightly in his heart, but he had left them and was separated by two worlds, thinking of this, he asked his doubts: "Old man, did he say those words?" Qin Yang said with a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "Did he say how to go to Kyushu and when he can return to Kyushu?"
"Little brother, he didn't say what you said. The old man's words made Qin Yang extremely disappointed in his heart.
"Still. The old man's words opened another door for him, and he immediately asked, "But what?"
Old man Wu recalled: "He also said that 'the wind and snow will stop, the flowers and leaves will eventually wither, the plants and trees will eventually regenerate, and the peach forest will eventually bloom!'"
"What does this mean?" Qin Yang was puzzled and couldn't think of an answer.
"I don't know. The old man shook his head and asked, "Little brother, what is Kyushu, is it important to you?"
"That's my home. Qin Yang let out a long sigh, but didn't explain much about Kyushu.
"Your home was originally in Kyushu. The old man said curiously: "But how can I listen to your words is Chu Yin, and the girl who came with you that day is also Chu Yin." ”
Qin Yang thought for a while, and after a while, he muttered: "There was an accident in my family in the early years, and I had to leave my hometown, and I came to the Chu country with my father and mother when I was a child, and I grew up in the Chu country, so I was Chu Yin when I spoke. ”
"Then my parents died early, and I was asked to bring their ashes back to Kyushu, but I was still young at the time, and I still remember how to return to Kyushu, and my parents' illness was too sudden, so I kept looking for my way home. ”
Old Man Wu sighed with emotion: "Then you should indeed go back, but will you come back after you find it?"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional, yes, will he come back? He doesn't know how to answer this question, this is not an ordinary road, there are traces to follow, these are two worlds, and if you go back, you may not be able to come back.
"I don't know. Qin Yang said the truest thoughts in his heart.
Old Man Wu sighed: "This is indeed not an answer that everyone can think of. His weather-beaten face was like a circle of annual rings, and every wrinkle carved by the years was a story, and he said slowly: "I have faced a choice like yours." ”
"I used to be a Chu person, and I also had a family and a family in Chu State, but after I did something wrong, I came to Yan State, but all my family members were left in Chu State. ”
"I often think about letting myself go back and leave the land of right and wrong in Yan Kingdom, but time has passed, and in a blink of an eye, I have been in Yan Country for dozens of spring and autumn seasons, and those family members in Chu State have adapted to life without me a long time ago, if I go back, what should I do? Doesn't it disturb their lives. ”
"And during my time in Yan Kingdom, I have also adapted to the days when Tian Tian and Tian Tian accompany me, they are still too young to follow me to transition, and I don't want to be separated from them, so I stayed in Yan Kingdom. ”
"During this time, I figured out a problem. The old man's godless eyes were full of the depth of seeing the world at the moment.
"There will never be both!"
"If there is giving, there will be gain, maybe let me return to the Chu country, I will miss the days in the Yan country, and I will miss the days of the Chu country in the same way. ”
"This is a very contradictory thing, but it is infinitely in line with common sense, in the end, Wu Xiu is just a human being, but this life is longer, but people's emotions will not change. ”
"Because emotions are never about long-term and short-term, just like me and Tian Tian and Tian Tian, although I have only been with them for four or five years, but their emotions are not much more than my previous family, and they are an inseparable part of me. ”
"Little brother, tell me, if some people have only been with you for a few days or two months, but the relationship between them and you is no less than twenty or thirty years, how can you let go of them?"
"Who pays for a fake relationship? If you insist on the length of time you will be together, it will be too superficial. ”
"So I will never return to Chu in my life, there will be gains, this sentence is the same for us normal people. The old man sighed, Qin Yang's experience reminded him of himself, but he didn't know what kind of storm his words had set off in Qin Yang's heart.
"Little brother, I drank too much for a while, and said something that didn't look for margins, don't be surprised. Old Man Wu could feel the change in the mood of the young man in front of him.
Qin Yang smiled bitterly and shook the picture, the old man's words were very right, but he was not an old man, he was a greedy person, he couldn't give up on any side, he couldn't give up, he wanted to hold everything tightly in his hands.
"Anyway, I should find out how to go back to Kyushu first, and then think about anything else. Qin Yang is not a person who likes to get tangled, before things are done, he retreats first, he swept away the gloom in his heart and set a long-term goal for himself.
He felt that the way home should be in the four sentences given by 'him', but he couldn't think through it for a while, and he didn't have time to think about it now, so he had to wait until he had finished dealing with Xingzhucao and then slowly pondered it, and this matter was not in a hurry for a while.
"Old man, it's time for me to go. Qin Yang thought for a while, got up and said goodbye to the old man.
The night was dark, the place where the old man lived was a slum, and there was no night light installed, and when he left, Qin Yang remembered what he was going to do, and immediately took out some silver taels from the spirit storage ring.
"Little brother, I have already collected a lot of money from you yesterday, and I can't take it anymore, you take it back. "The old man's temperament is very stubborn, no matter what Qin Yang says, he resolutely refuses to accept it.
Helpless, Qin Yang could only carry Tian Tian and Tian Tian out, he believed that with the old man's love for the two children, he would definitely accept it.
"Old man, two children can't stay here for the rest of their lives, right? You can accept this money and send them to study with a good teacher in the future, not to mention seeking fame and fortune, at least they can read and write, and let them know right from wrong. ”
"This ......" The old man hesitated, Qin Yang's words reminded him of when he was as old as them, and he could memorize poems and texts backwards, but now the two children couldn't even write their own names.
Qin Yang saw the old man's hesitation, and gently patted the heads of the two children and said, "Tiantian, Tiantian, do you want to study?"
The two children were silent for a moment, and Tian Tian said timidly: "Is it the same as those children on the street who are wearing clean clothes and holding books in their hands?"
"Yes. Qin Yang tried his best to make his words gentle, this mask was very powerful, even his voice could be changed, it was an extremely hoarse voice.
Having said that, his voice can be changed, how could this old man hear that he was Chu Yin? Qin Yang was puzzled.
"Don't go. Although Tian Tian and Tian Tian were very yearning, they all replied firmly in unison at this moment Qin Yang, the two poor and young children, knowing that the old man was physically inconvenient, and thought that there would be no one to take care of him when he was at home, so they only said that they didn't want to study.
