The thousand-year-old valley breaks through the thousand-year-old darkness because of a bright light. The unruly prodigal son, for the sake of turning back, the thought finally came to fruition.

Li Le turned out of the street corner with his bags, and finally followed the taste of memory to the door of the house.

The light snow is sunny at the beginning, and the ancient city is as new. After years of renovation, the streets are changing with each passing day, and there are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, and it is difficult to distinguish the old appearance. Only the noodle stall in front of the Taihang Building, a time-honored brand for more than 300 years, still stubbornly adheres to the tradition of the ancient city.

Time flies, from the age of eighteen to twenty-six, the eight-year military career has left Li Le with too many memories, sadness and happiness, fierceness and tranquility, glory and despair, and the breadth and thickness of life. Today's Li Le has long grown from a wild and uninhibited teenager to a resolute and talented young man.

Taihang Lou is the same, giving people a sense of simplicity and heaviness. The aroma of ramen is the same, and it is a taste of hometown that I will never forget.

In front of the noodle stall at the door, the stone that was ramen was the same, a two-meter-tall man, long and majestic, but with a pair of dexterous hands. The ramen seemed to be dancing in his hands, and the whole process of ramen became a wonderful performance in his hands.

I remember hearing the old man say that this kid doesn't have the talent to become a top chef, but he has the perseverance to be a super-first-class white case.

Looking at the familiar landscapes and people, and smelling the familiar smell, Li Le was full of emotion, but his heart was extremely calm. Impulsive emotions, calm state of mind, contradictory are not contradictory. used to be young and impulsive, but now it is still reckless, but it is a little more sophisticated, and the impulse of the past has faded.

suddenly realized that it was difficult for him to find the most simple and pure joys and sorrows, and he couldn't help but sigh for a while. I think of the old political commissar Chang Xuelin who often said when he was still alive: How life is like yesterday, it is better to look forward than to stop at reminiscences.

Although the head of the General Staff did not approve his application for demobilization, but only gave himself a big vacation indefinitely, Li Le knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to return to the army no matter what 616161616161 he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Brother Le!" The stone who was ramen suddenly paused, looked at Li Le in a daze, and exclaimed in surprise. Putting down a qiē from behind the noodle stall, he turned around like a fly, and hugged Li Le. With tears in his eyes, he said: "You can be counted as back, maybe you will come back later, maybe 616161616161" Speaking of this, this majestic and mighty man was already choked up and couldn't continue.

The stone has always been true to people, just like a stone, always erect. From childhood to adulthood, Li Le only remembered that he cried once, when Li Le was eight years old, the Yellow River flooded, and the six-year-old stone came to the door of Taihang Tower with his family to ask for food, and was later left in Taihang Tower by his family. When he was separated from his family, the kid cried once, and after that, Li Le and he were brothers with different surnames for ten years, whether it was his grandfather's stick or severe punishment, he couldn't make him shed a single tear.

But now, the stone is weeping.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

"Stones." Li Le's brows were slightly locked, his voice was calm, but his heart was already flushed: Although the old man is old and strong, he is already eighty-four years old after all, looking at the stone like this, is it really not good?

Patting the stone on the shoulder, the letter will ask: "What are you crying about?" How? Could it be that the old man is really not good? Asking three questions in a row is actually equivalent to one question.

Shi's big hand grabbed Li Le's wrist, "Don't say anything, come in with me to meet the old man." While walking inside, he said: You left as a soldier in anger that year, although the old man said hard, I know that he actually regrets it in his heart. ”

He also said: "When you broke one of Zhao Fengbo's legs, Chen Hui was supposed to carry the bag for you, and you didn't have a chance to be a soldier, it was the old man who found a relationship, so you had the opportunity to wear this military uniform, even if the old man did a little too much in the matter of An Yani, but you shouldn't have left for eight years without even giving a letter to your family." ”

Hearing the name An Yani, Li Le's heart fluttered, he stopped, his tone was still as flat as possible, and said, "I knew all these things later. ”

The name Anyani has not appeared in Li Le's life for eight years, but in these eight years, Li Le has deliberately forgotten many things and people, but he has not forgotten the name jì for a single day.

In a person's life, the most rare thing is to be able to have an innocent love when the heart mirror is not dusty. In that innocent era, between myself and her, there was no fetters of secular prejudices, no rich and poor people, only two young people who were in love. A look, an action, just to make the other person happy, that feeling is completely heartfelt, there is no artificiality, it is a fairytale-like good time.

Thinking of An Yani, Li Le's heart couldn't help but be cold, "Look at your cowardly appearance and rub the fire, isn't the old man still dead?" Calling me back in a hurry is a bitter trick to play with me, right? ”

The stone glared at Li Le angrily and said angrily, "What are you talking about?" The old man is your own grandfather, since you refuse to forgive him, why bother to come back this time? ”

Old man is Li Le's customary title for his grandfather Li Qianjun. The reason why Li Le suspected that this was a bitter ploy before he saw anyone was not entirely because of grudges, but also because this old man not only wore the hat of the kitchen god of the northern faction, but also had a series of titles on his head: the head of the Kansai swordsman, the first in the northern faction, and his soft and hard kung fu is really good.

Li Leyu remembers that when he left, this old gentleman often carried a 38-pound iron pot and a pot of soup with one hand, chasing him all over the yard to beat him, and he could also ensure that not a drop of soup was spilled. Although he is already in his old age, his body is strong enough to fight tigers. In Li Le's impression, Li Qianjun has never been an old and drooping person. According to his own understanding of Li Qianjun, it should not be difficult for the old man to live past a hundred years old.

Li Le's idea is well-founded, but it's a pity that the world is unpredictable, if the predictions can be accurate, how can there be so many outstanding people lamenting the impermanence of the world?

Shi angrily let go of Li Le's wrist, "Is it a bitter trick, you will know when you come in with me, the old man did a bit too much when he drove An Yani's family to leave Taihang Tower, but you have been gone for eight years, and you haven't sent a letter back to your family, is it beautiful?" ”

Taihang Tower is an ancient building that follows three hundred years of history, with three courtyards inside and outside, covering an area of dozens of acres. Li Le followed the stone through the house and came to the main house in the backyard.

The sun was covered by white clouds, the breeze was gusting, and the light in the room was flickering and dimming. Li Qianjun, the former No. 1 Lu cuisine master lying on the hospital bed, looked terminally ill. The room exuded the aroma of medicine, and the medicine was boiling on the stove of the red peat fire, but the person watching the fire was a little girl of seven or eight years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her complexion was like porcelain, and she looked extremely cute.

is a little girl carved in pink, which makes people feel pity at first sight.

"Li Le, you want to call this girl aunt."

As soon as he entered the door, he was hit with a thunderbolt. Li Le stood at the foot of the hall, looking at the old man who was withered and describing his blood as withered, and almost didn't believe that the old man in front of him was his grandfather Li Qianjun. Thinking about the original piles and piles, I was having mixed feelings, and when I didn't know where to start, I was scorched by Li Qianjun's words.

Li Qianjun saw Li Le walk in, his originally bloodless cheeks flushed, pointed to the little girl by the stove, and said in an accentuated tone: "Auntie! Then he waved his hand to block back what Li Le was going to say, and continued: "My time is limited, so I have to make a long story short, I have been idle and bored for the past few years, and I continued to continue a string, but the old eyes were dizzy and did not look at people, and the girl gave birth to this girl and left, and now my old man is going to drive the crane in the west, the only thing I don't worry about is the Taihang Tower and this little girl passed down by my ancestors, and now I will hand them all over to you." ”

Li Le felt that the old man's breath was weak, and he didn't seem to be acting, and then looked at the little girl like a pink carved jade porcelain doll, and asked in disbelief for a while, "What are you talking about?" What's up to me? Which play are you playing with me? ”

Li Qianjun grinned and said, "Boy, guess." With that, he kicked his legs and closed his eyes, but there was no sound.

Li Le was dumbfounded, walked to the head of the bed with an arrow, and pressed his hand on Li Qianjun's artery, and sure enough, he couldn't feel the breath of blood flow at all. Li Le felt a chill in his nostrils, which was the familiar smell of death. The old man didn't know how long he waited, and finally waited for himself to come back, and when they met, he explained the aftermath in a few words, but he actually cut off the last bit of life, and a generation of grandmasters left with a smile.

The only death through the ages! What is a hero? Laugh at life and death bravely.

Great love is unhindered by love, a chic and simple farewell and a smile are the last love left by the old man to his relatives.

Shishi, who was adopted and raised by Li Qianjun since childhood, screamed and knelt at the head of the bed with tears pouring out. While crying, he said: "Since last year, the North and South Chef King Club lost to Yipinju's three buckets of gold, and the doctor said that the old man would not live for a year, but his old man waited for you to come back, and he had to hold up for three more months 616161616161"

The parting came too suddenly, Li Le didn't even have time to fill his heart with grief, standing there was completely distracted, and he couldn't hear the follow-up words of the stone clearly, so he only looked at Li Qianjun who was smiling at Jiuquan stupidly, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Is the old man really dead? In the eyes of the world, Li Qianjun, the northern kitchen god who is proud of the kitchen world, raised himself as an adult, taught himself to be a man, and taught himself the ability to stand up for himself has really left him forever! The old man walked so simply and resolutely, and his dying words were so inexplicable. And the grudge that has been haunting in my heart for eight years and has blocked family affection for eight years is like the biggest joke in the world in front of this dying smile.

Li Le's heart was gradually filled with sadness, but he wanted to cry without tears. After eight years of forging blood and fire, life and death, Li Le is no longer accustomed to using tears to express his sadness. Iron and bloodless without tears is not ruthless, Li Le suddenly smiled. This laughter seems to be more poignant than crying.

And what didn't cry was this little aunt who looked a little strange. Li Qianjun, who was entangled by the troubles he caused for the rest of his life, found himself a small trouble that was destined to be difficult to give up for the rest of his life before he died.

"My name is Li Yuhan." The little girl who was boiling medicine looked at the one that happened in front of her expressionlessly, but finally sighed lightly and said to Li Le: "Dad said that you are the closest person to his heart in the world, so you will definitely take good care of me." Her beautiful big eyes flashed with tears, she looked at Li Le fixedly, and said, "Will you be like what he said?" ”

Li Le retracted his thoughts and looked directly at the little aunt. The old man is forty in his eighties this year, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he has already reached the age of blood loss. Although Li Qianjun is good at kung fu and has a strong qi and blood far better than ordinary people, Li Le knows better that the old man has been practicing the old boy kung fu since he was sixty years old, and he has not been close to women for many years.

Does this little aunt's origin seem odd?

The little girl was only seven or eight years old, but she had a pair of talking eyes and was looking at herself without blinking. Looking at the little girl's bright black eyes, Li Le's heart fluttered for no reason, as if a certain heartstring had been quietly plucked. Maybe this is the resonance of the bloodline? suddenly felt that the old man might not be joking with himself, this little girl was his closest relative by blood.

A chaotic noise came from outside the door, interrupting Li Le's thoughts.

"Li Le!" The sound was so loud that Zhao Fengbo, who was dressed in a leopard print suit and had more wax than hair, pushed the door in and came to Li Le with a limp.

The enemy was very red when he saw him. Zhao Fengbo looked forward to this day not just one day, but when it was time to meet, this guy was not in a hurry, and said with a sneer: "I heard that you are back, I don't believe anything if I don't see the real person, and I am finally relieved to see you standing here with all your beards and tails." He added: "We have always had an account between us, can we calculate it now?" ”

This is, of course, a contradiction.

The stone was about to attack with anger on his face, but Li Le lost a look and went over to stop it. Turning his head to Zhao Fengbo, he said: "I just arrived home, just in time to see the old man for the last time, please give me some time to deal with housework first, you can settle accounts with me, come over at another time, I will definitely accompany you." ”

"I don't have that much time to wait 616161616161"

Zhao Fengbo's words came to an abrupt end, but because he suddenly heard the roar of a modified Porsche sports car from the yard, which was the heroic roar of Chen Hui, the boss of the Chengxi Gang, and there was no other semicolon in the entire ancient city. This is also one of the most feared voices in the ancient city that Zhao Fengbo fears.

When the car arrived, Chen Hui pushed the door in, strode high, and came straight to Zhao Fengbo, "The surname Zhao, if there is anything rushing at me, Wen Wu's Chengxi Gang and I Chen Hui will definitely accompany me to the end!" ”

"You're here too." Li Le looked at Chen Hui intently.

"Zhao Fengbo can wait for you for eight years, how can I, a brother, be inferior to him?" Chen Hui strode in front of Li Le, opened his arms and hugged a bear, and asked emotionally, "Brother Le, where did you go to be a soldier?" I've looked for a lot of relationships but can't find you, and I've wanted to die brother in the past few years! ”

Chen Hui has never been a person who likes to talk empty words, he said that if he finds himself through a relationship, he will definitely do it. It's a pity that the secrecy level of Li Le's place as a soldier is too high, even if the family behind Chen Hui has deep military connections, it is still helpless.

Now is not the time to catch up, Li Le patted Chen Hui on the shoulder and said, "I miss you too, but my affairs are really hard to explain, and I will tell you slowly in the future." He also said: "As soon as I came back, I caught up with the old man who passed away, and there are many things waiting for me to deal with at home, so I won't be polite to you, you can deal with the problem of this Mr. Zhao for me first." ”

"The old man has died?" Chen Hui was startled at first, and then gently patted Li Le on the shoulder, "One world, two brothers, it is incumbent on you, you can rest assured that you will take care of the family affairs, and leave the rest to me." "The boss of the Chengxi Gang, who has always been known for his coldness and calmness, has a rare sensibility.

Zhao Fengbo just sneered on the side, but did not say anything else. In these years, I was so stunned that I was afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal was afraid of not wanting to die, and the unwanted was afraid of beating people to death without losing their lives. Chen Hui is the latter. Although Zhao Fengbo is the boss of the Chengnan Gang, he does not dare to plunder Chen Hui's edge alone. He's waiting for helpers.

The helper soon arrived, and the sound of a car stopping could be heard in the yard.

"Yo, the sun came out in the west today, and Hui Shao and Boss Zhao actually appeared at the same time, which is really a strange thing." Tang Rulin, who looked like a dwarf winter melon, 'rolled out' from the car and came to the venue with a hippie smile. looked left and right, and quickly locked his eyes on Li Le. Asked: "This is the hero who single-handedly picked the Chengnan Gang eight years ago and broke one of Boss Zhao's legs?" ”

Scolding people without revealing the shortcomings, these words are bitter and vicious, and they immediately hooked Zhao Fengbo's fire. When the boss of the Chengnan Gang heard this, his face suddenly changed.

Chen Hui turned around and stood in front of Li Le, and sneered: "Tang Fatty, you don't have a yin and yang in front of Lao Tzu, today the field of Taihang Lou is covered by Lao Tzu, whether it is you Tang Fat Man or he Zhao Cripple, horizontal and vertical, Wen and Wu, my Chengxi Gang will follow!" ”

Chen Hui's madness is nothing new in the underworld of the ancient city, but Tang Rulin's ruthlessness is also famous. Chen Hui didn't save any face for Tang Rulin, and a word made Tang Rulin's face cold, Zhao Fengbo took the opportunity to say in a weird way: "Old Tang, you treat yourself as a golden soup, but people don't plan to use you to flavor it at all." ”

Tang Rulin's face sank like water, Chen Hui proudly contempted, Zhao Fengbo stepped to Tang Rulin's side, and looked at Chen Hui with a sinister look.

Three of the four giants of the underworld in the ancient city faced each other here, and the scene instantly froze.

A dispute seems inevitable!

"Stone, call the police." A voice said indifferently.
