076. The past that has to be said
Along the way, Nangong Pudu was heartbroken and talked to Nangong Dingkang about Nangong Jin, "Dad, Ah Jin is completely delirious and won't let anyone touch it." I finally poured the medicine and fell asleep, but I was still very unstable. I really don't know what he's been through, it's going to be like this. ”
Nangong Dingkang walked to the gate of the west courtyard, stood still and didn't go in, and listened to Nangong Pu's speech. He sighed for a moment, but turned and walked back.
"Dad, why don't you go in and see him?" Nangong Pu was afraid that Nangong Dingkang really didn't care about Nangong Jin, "Doctor Du is afraid that his injury will attack." Dad, Ah Jin is very hard. ”
Nangong Dingkang stood still again, thought about it and nodded, "I know." He walked away.
"Dad," Nangong Pu grabbed him, thought about it and said directly: "Dad, Ah Jin is very naughty, and he shouldn't have been gone for eighteen years." But, he's like this now, Dad, at least go in and see him. ”
Nangong Dingkang shook his head.
"Daddy!" Nangong Pu was in a hurry. "We all know you don't like him, but Ah Jin ......."
"It would have been worse for him to see me." Nangong Dingkang interrupted.
"How so? Ah Jin has always wanted you to follow him, and he respects you very much. ”
Nangong Dingkang was silent and stood, and Nangong Pu also stood with him, not moving for a long time.
"What kind of person do you think, Ah Jin?" Nangong Dingkang asked slowly.
"Ah Jin is not very bold, he is afraid of pain, afraid of the dark, always wants to be lazy, and he is also very dependent, but he is really smart, very kind, sympathetic, and does not care about the difference between rich and poor, he is very cheerful, loves to make friends, and can play with everyone. Now, at least in Jingzhou and Quanzhou, I think he is still the same person. ”
"Do you think he will be taken advantage of? After all, in Jingzhou and Quanzhou, without any background, you can't do it at all. Nangong Dingkang said his suspicions.
"I believe that Ah Jin is measured, he knows what he is doing, even if someone really helps him, it is normal. I believe that he will have many friends to help him, and he will really help others. Nangong Pu seemed to feel that there was nothing to doubt at all.
"Then why do you think he suddenly appeared to do this?"
"He wants you to pay attention to him. It's always been like this, Dad, you often don't pay attention to him, and even sometimes, it makes people think that you care more about Relaxed. Nangong Pu said sincerely.
Nangong Dingkang continued to ask: "Then why can't I find out what happened after he left home?" ”
"You can't say that, a child, who will pay special attention? Besides, I don't think this kind of thing should be investigated, but should be asked. I'm sure Ah Jin won't say it, unless some experiences are too difficult for him to worry about. ”
After a while, Nangong Dingkang looked at Nangong Pu, "Ah Pu, do you really think so?" ”
"I think that's the truth." Nangong Pu nodded affirmatively.
**********
Nangong Jin opened his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly realized something and got up from the bed suddenly.
"Ah Jin, wake up." Nangong Pu quickly stepped forward to support him, took a pillow behind him, and signaled him not to get up.
"Brother." Nangong Jin didn't lean on, he didn't expect Nangong Pu to be there all the time, he looked out the window, the sun was shining. "What time is it? I'm sorry, I seem to have overslept. "I was very apologetic.
"It's not noon yet." Nangong Pu took a closer look, felt that Nangong Jin was conscious, put his mind at ease, and said with a smile: "However, you really overslept, you have slept for three days." ”
"Big brother, I don't usually do this, I'm sorry, I, I know that there are rules ...... family." Nangong Jin was a little nervous and remembered.
"Ah Jin," Nangong Pu pressed him and sighed, "You don't have to say sorry all the time, at least for now, you don't have anything to apologize for." Relax, okay? Nangong Pu helped him lean on the bed.
Nangong Jin was still very unaccustomed to it, and smiled slightly apologetically.
"I made some food in the kitchen, you must be hungry. Let them be sent in? Seeing Nangong Jin nodding, Nangong Pu opened the door and commanded. After a while, the two girls put a bowl of porridge and a few plates of light side dishes on the bed table and brought it to Nangong Jin. After doing this, he saluted the two of them and quietly exited the room.
"Don't be disgusted. You know, the sick meal at home is like this, if you want to eat well, you can quickly raise your body, and the eldest brother will take you to eat all over Pingyang. Nangong Pu sat on the edge of his bed and said with a smile. The porridge is boiled with broth and the oil is removed. ”
Nangong Pu just looked at it like this, smiling, waited for him to finish eating, personally moved the bed table aside, and sat back again.
"Brother, you don't have to stay with me all the time." Nangong Jin said embarrassedly.
"I remember when you were sick when you were a child, you liked to let me sit here with you, and you were afraid that I would go. Sometimes, I have to sleep with you. ”
Nangong Jin smiled and asked softly, "When I was a child, it was very troublesome and annoying, right?" ”
"I don't think so." Nangong Pu thought for a while and said, "Jin, can you, it's still the same as when you were a child, even if you play tricks, the eldest brother doesn't want you to be so ......." You must remember that you have already gone home, it is safe at home, you have to trust the big brother, the big brother will definitely protect you. Do you understand? ”
Nangong Jin nodded a little uncertainly, "I know." After thinking about it, he asked with a smile: "Did I say some nonsense?" ”
"You just don't get nervous and relaxed, and that's fine. Also, when the eldest brother calls you, you must listen. Nangong Pu smiled again, "By the way, do you mind talking to your eldest brother now about what happened after you left home?" ”
Nangong Jin was secretly startled and smiled bitterly, "Actually, it's nothing ......." "Bow your head, and there is no follow-up.
After waiting for a while, Nangong Pu seemed to want not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, and said with a smile: "Big brother just asked casually, I don't want to say it's okay......." ”
"It's not." Nangong Jin raised his head slightly and gently took Nangong Pu's hand.
Nangong Pu's heart moved slightly, just like the feeling of the past.
I only heard Nangong Jin say slowly: "After I left, I followed a teaching gentleman, although he was poor, he had food and a place to live, and he was also very good to me and taught me a lot of things." It's just that, later, he returned to his hometown, but before he returned to his hometown, he divided all his money in two and gave me one. Actually, at that time, I wanted to go home, but I didn't dare, I was afraid, afraid that you would forget my ....... ”
"Alas, the eldest brother should teach you more, at least let you know that no matter what, you have to go home." Nangong Pu regretted a little in his words.
Nangong Jin thought for a while, and continued: "After that, I worked as a flower for a while. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But, I won't ask for food." Later, there was an old man named Hua who took me with me. This old man is very powerful, taught me a lot, and said that he would send me home. ”
"Amazing? Beggars? Nangong Pu guessed.
"I don't know about this, it's just that I always felt this way when I was a kid."
"He, broke his promise?"
"I don't know if it counts. I followed him for half a year, he took me around, he said to walk more and see more to have insight, he said, when I go back to Pingyang, then I will not see anything. ”
Nangong Pu frowned and asked, "Does he know that you are from Pingyang?" Know your surname is Nangong? ”
Nangong Jin nodded, and Nangong Pu asked again: "Do you know what his name is?" ”
"He didn't say it, he just asked me to call him grandpa. He also told me that he thinks that everything has a basic truth, and knowing this truth, if you look at martial arts, it should be common. ”
Nangong Pu looked serious and did not interrupt him. Nangong Jin still held his hand, as if reminiscing, and continued: "He said that he seems to have found a little shadow, although he can't say that everything is accurate, but he can pass four or five out of ten, or it may be five or six. ”
"Did he teach you?"
"Yes."
"What do you trade with him?"
Nangong Jin hesitated, but still spoke: "Internal Strength Heart Method." Seeing that Nangong Pu didn't speak for a long time, Nangong Jin lowered his head again and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." ”
"And after that? Why didn't he send you home? ”
"He's dead. He told me to wait for him to come back and then send me home. I waited for two days, and then I went to ...... him. He's dead. ”
After a while, Nangong Pu suddenly asked, "You were in Hengyang at the time?" Guandi Temple outside Hengyang City? ”
Nangong Jin looked up in surprise and looked at Nangong Pu, "How do you know?" ”
"Sixteen years ago, something big happened to the beggars. The four major departments fought in order to get the true inheritance of the gang leader, and as a result, the original eighteen elders and three deputy gang leaders were left with only one, and in addition, one was missing. At that time, it should have been full of dead people, and you went to him? Nangong Pu simply said what he knew.
"I didn't know it was going to be like that. He wasn't dead when he was found in the pile of dead. He said, let me learn to protect myself, don't casually tell others about my family's internal strength, and don't call Nangong Jin ...... before I arrive in Pingyang. Also, you can't send me home. Nangong Jin's eyes were filled with tears.
Nangong Pu sighed slightly, gently patted the back of his hand to comfort, and asked in a low voice, "Then what?" ”
"He's dead, I, I can't help it. But, I don't want him to be with those dead people, I remember there is a word called death without a place to bury, I don't want him to be like that. Nangong Jin calmed down, "I found a coffin shop and took a thin wooden coffin on credit, the boss was very good, thinking it was my grandfather, so he helped bury it." ”
"He never told you his name?"
Nangong Jin shook his head, "He said that he can't let others know that he lied to the child." ”
Nangong Pu patted him on the shoulder, "I think I probably know who it is." Don't be too upset, he should be a very happy and happy person, and he won't like you to be sad for him. Looking at Nangong Jin's inquiring eyes, he said with a smile: "He is He Zhiqian, the elder of the beggar gang, and he is also the one I said is missing." At that time, the Hengshan faction was the first to discover this matter, but almost all of the beggars who could handle this matter died, in fact, it was the Hengshan faction that dealt with it in the end. ”
"Elder He is a very interesting person, his doctrine is always regarded as a sideline, and even the gang leader at the time ordered him not to teach, only responsible for guidance. He once wrote a war letter to his father, originally, with his status, his father would not ignore it, but he added a sentence, if he wins, let his mother accompany him for a day, if he loses, he will accompany his mother for a day. So, Dad ignored him. As he spoke, he laughed, looked at Nangong Jin and said, "He really always wanted to see our family's internal strength, but he never had a relationship with his father." However, I know that Elder He is not a few years older than his father, so I am afraid that you want to call him grandpa, I am afraid that I want to find some cheap for my father on you. He is not a bad person, he has taken you for half a year, he should really like you, I am afraid that he will treat you as a disciple. No wonder you're so good at it. ”
Nangong Jin laughed with tears, "Yes, he's very interesting." Always instigating people to fight, watching from the side. He also asked me if I was the ugliest person in the family, and he said that it was because he was ugly that he had to be like a man, not drinking and not being a man. He also taught me how to ask for food, and he said that he should bend down and get up straight, that is a real man. ”
"What's the ugliest?! At that time, you were still young, and you didn't grow at all. Beggar? Taught the second young master of the Nangong family to ask for food, and he thought of it. Nangong Pu smiled, but was still a little angry.
Nangong Jin smiled, afraid that tears would fall, and covered her eyes with her hands, "Big brother, I still remember what he looked like." ”
Nangong Pu patted his shoulder and comforted: "When you're well, let's go and worship him together." Remember where he was buried? ”
Nangong Jin thought about it and nodded, let go of Nangong Pu's hand, and rubbed his chest.
"Uncomfortable?"
"It's fine." Nangong Jin said with a smile.
"Jin, my eldest brother told you last time, if you are uncomfortable, you have to say it directly, you can't ask anything and answer it's okay. The eldest brother asked Dr. Du to come over and take a look, okay? ”
Nangong Jin nodded, secretly relieved in her heart. This kind of thing is too easy to check, and it is indeed right to choose to tell the truth, but the things that follow are a little difficult to explain. The question is, it seems like what else was said the other day?
