One day, just when the school was on holiday, Yunlin went to visit the City God Temple with a few classmates, and when he returned to school, Yunlin suddenly saw a tall and familiar figure, he said hello to a few classmates, and went to find the familiar figure alone.

The figure was wearing a cloth robe, a straw hat, and a package on its back, walking silently in the crowd, and Yunlin scurried all the way, following closely.

Walking to a secluded place, Yunlin hurriedly stepped forward and called softly: "Father-in-law." ”

The man turned around and looked at Yunlin, then kept looking up and down at the young man in the school uniform in front of him with wide eyes, and hugged him in disbelief: "Yun Peng, is it really you, Yun Peng!" ”

Leng Jinqiu looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, he hadn't seen him for more than two years, Yun Peng had grown a lot taller, much stronger, and his gestures were quite like his father.

"Father-in-law." Yun Lin and Leng Jinqiu hugged tightly.

"Yun Peng, let my father-in-law take a good look." Leng Jinqiu felt like he was in a dream: "Hey, Yunpeng, aren't you going to school in Guangzhou?" How did you come to Shanghai? ”

"Father-in-law, I also just transferred from Guangzhou to Shanghai not long ago, do you know, my father and my mother have passed away." Yunlin told Leng Jinqiu about his parents.

Leng Jinqiu nodded: "I already know, I know." ”

Xue Yingmei and more than a dozen soldiers died together, and Peng Ruofei had already told him about falling off the cliff on Yunwu Mountain, and Peng Ruofei's matter was repeated in the newspaper at that time, and it was spread widely, even Leng Jinqiu, who was far away from the hustle and bustle, also learned about it, for which he also cried a lot, and later in Lingxuan Temple he overtook Peng Ruofei.

"Father-in-law, let's go, let's go sit on the other side of Suzhou Creek."

Seeing each other, how many words do they want to confide, Yunlin took Leng Jinqiu's hand and walked towards Suzhou Creek, and then the two sat by the river and talked about each other's experiences.

"Father-in-law, where have you been in the past few years, we haven't heard from you all this time." Yun Lin looked at Leng Jinqiu's face that had been through vicissitudes and asked with concern.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words." When he mentioned the catastrophe two years ago, Leng Jinqiu's eyes showed a trace of sadness: "Soon after you went to Guangzhou to study, the third regiment of the 156th Division came to exterminate us with the county security team, and your father discussed countermeasures with me, so that the sixth man took a large army with that Mr. Xie to Guangdong to meet the rest of the Nanchang uprising, and I and your father and sixty or seventy brothers stayed to break the rear, but the enemy was outnumbered, although we repelled several enemy attacks and covered the transfer of large troops, but there were many casualties, and Rushuang's mother also killed this group of brutes." “

"What? Shi Niang, she also ......? When Yunlin heard this, his heart trembled, on Yunwu Mountain, in addition to his parents, Aunt Xiuqin was the closest person to him, Xiuqin loved him like a son, from the first time he saw him, he liked him from the bottom of his heart, this Yunlin had already felt it, but he didn't expect that the master who regarded him as his own was also murdered, which made Yunlin very sad.

Leng Jinqiu nodded, he thought of Xiuqin's tragic situation again, and a wave of grief and indignation surged in his heart: "Yes, your master died miserably!" “

"We fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers on the Yunwu Mountain, and in the end your father desperately let me and the rest of my brothers go down the mountain, and he alone cut the truck at the southwest pass, burned the pass, and prevented the enemy from going down the mountain to chase us, and then we finally escaped death, but your father was arrested by the security team."

From Leng Jinqiu's mouth, Yun Lin finally understood the process of his father's capture, Yun Lin imagined his father's feat when he gave up his life and forgot to die, and risked his life to cover Leng Jinqiu's feat when he went down the mountain, and his reverence for his father arose.

"After I went down the mountain, I met more than 20 brothers sent by the sixth to pick us up, after the rendezvous, we were going to chase the sixth brother, but when I was in Huangshi, I saw a photo of your father published in the newspaper, saying that it was going to hold a public judgment meeting in Lijiaao, and I wanted to shoot your father, how could I sit idly by, so I handed over Rushuang and some property to the third child and Tiezhu, and then took my brothers back to Lijiaao to rob the Dharma field and save your father.

I didn't expect this to be a trap by Dai Tianxu, the captain of the security team, the purpose is to let me throw myself into the net, I really fell into the scheme, the person on the high platform of the school field is not your father, but Scar, in order to warn me, pulled the grenade tied to the body, and the third regiment commander Lu Keming died together, and my more than 30 brothers also stayed in Lijiaao forever, only I was the only one with the surname Dai outstanding encirclement, I killed the surname Dai in the broken temple. “

Yunlin listened to Leng Jinqiu's narration and felt that there was a fire burning in his heart.

"Then I went to find the third child, Rushuang them, but when I arrived, I only saw the body of the iron pillar, an embroidered shoe of Rushuang and a pool of blood, I inquired about it, they said that a few days ago there was a gang of soldiers and ruffians passing through this place, killing people when they saw them, robbing them when they saw money, and the iron pillar died in their hands, and Rushuang and the third child were nowhere to be found, I guess it was also more auspicious."

"Is my sister missing too?" Yunlin gasped.

Leng Jinqiu nodded: "There has been no news, life and death are unpredictable!" “

"At that time, I was discouraged, I wanted to die, so I threw myself into the river, but unfortunately I didn't die, I was rescued by a passing master of Lingxuan Temple, he saved me, I went to Lingxuan Temple with him, and became a monk, and my brother gave me the name Juehui, and since then I have been in the morning and dusk, eating fasting and chanting Buddha." Leng Jinqiu told Yunlin about his experience.

Leng Jinqiu took off his straw hat, revealing the ring scar on his head: "Yun Peng, if you see me in the temple in the future, call me Master Juehui." ”

After listening to Leng Jinqiu's experience, Yunlin had a clearer idea of what had happened on Yunwu Mountain at the beginning.

"Father-in-law, why didn't you go to Guangdong at that time, didn't my father want you to go there?" Yunlin was puzzled by this, his father went to Guangzhou to contact Kang's father in person in order to make his father-in-law have no worries, and asked Kang's father to send someone to pick up his father-in-law, but why didn't his father-in-law go to Guangdong?

"How can I have the face to see my brothers, those more than 30 brothers were all killed by me, and Xiuqin died tragically, Rushuang is gone, I am covered in injuries, I ......" Leng Jinqiu shook his head.

Yun Lin saw that his words once again touched the most painful side of Leng Jinqiu's heart, so he immediately changed the topic: "Father-in-law, then why did you go down the mountain today?" And also came to Shanghai? ”

"Senior Brother Jueheng passed away a few days ago, he asked me on his deathbed to send his ashes to his hometown, buried next to Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, he said that what he missed most in his life was this Xuanwu Lake, and he hoped to be buried here after death. So I walked all the way with his ashes. ”

"Father-in-law, will you return to Lingxuan Temple after fulfilling your senior brother's last wish?" Yunlin wanted to know where his father-in-law was so that he could visit him in the future.

Leng Jinqiu shook his head: "I'm also old, and Ye Luo always has to return to the roots, besides, my legs and feet are not as sharp as before, and climbing the mountain is really hard, so I want to go to Ci'an Temple near my hometown to settle down." ”

"Father-in-law, then I will have to come to Ci'an Temple to find you in the future." Yunlin looked at the lonely and helpless Leng Jinqiu, and felt sad in his heart.

"Yun Peng, you and I are destined, and your father is the person I admire the most in my life. Your father is gone, but I'm sure he'll be able to survive the storm and reach Elysium. ”

Yunlin nodded: "Father-in-law, where do you live now?" ”

"I'll settle down in Longhua Temple for the time being, and when I'm done with my senior brother's business, I'll go to Ci'an Temple."

"Father-in-law, I am now studying at St. John's School, and when I have a vacation in the future, I will go to see you at Ci'an Temple."

Leng Jinqiu touched Yunlin's head: "Okay, my father-in-law didn't hurt you in vain, Yunpeng, my father-in-law still has an unfinished business that I want to ask you." ”

"Father-in-law, please speak, Yun Peng will definitely live up to your trust."
