Chapter Eighty-Nine: The End of the World Is Like a Neighbor
After leaving Shifeng City, Wei Zeng's carriage followed the avenue of Yanbei and headed in the direction of Xu Huai unhurriedly.
The breeze blew quietly, and if it weren't for the rustling of the leaves, no one would have noticed it. There is still a lot of wasteland in the fields on both sides of the road, but with the advent of peace, the wasteland is not entirely desolate. The smoke from the cooking stove seen from time to time, and the occasional rooster and dog barking, have already told that this land has a future.
Originally, Wendi rode forward on a red horse, but the red horse was already old, and his leg strength had declined. Wendy felt sorry for the red horse, so he let it go and let it follow the carriage. And Wen Di himself sat on the wheel of the car and talked to Wei Zeng about something he had seen before.
His hometown is the one Wei Zeng is most familiar with. But the most familiar things, sometimes the most unfamiliar. I took a few more looks and thought about it, but I found that my hometown was a little different from what I remembered. I found a little difference, and then I found another difference, and after all, only the shadow of memory remained.
But listening to Wen Di speak, listening to a person without any restraints, easily talking about things that have become commonplace, Wei Zeng found that everything was still so beautiful.
"Things are changing, people are changing, and I'm also changing. There have been so many changes, and it's long gone, but I don't regret it. Because as long as you work hard, everything will get better and better. Wei Zeng couldn't help but say.
"What you say makes a lot of sense, but what does it have to do with me. Sometimes, I really want nothing to change. I would be happier if everything was the way it was back then. At that time, with my father protecting me, I just had to do whatever I wanted. At that time, I was full of confidence in the future, and I always felt that everything would be mine. If everything was the way it was, I think I would be happy. Wendy said as he spoke, leaving a tear in his eyes.
"Actually, everything is still yours, and it hasn't changed at all. Do you know? The world you see is completely different from the world I see. When you see a forest, you see patches of greenery, and you hear the sound of birds. Do you know what comes to mind when I see a forest? I wonder if there is danger hidden in this forest, if there are any robbers who stand in the way. How can I confront the enemy if I encounter danger; If I can't beat it, how can I get out of it? All the time, I'm on the lookout. Wei Zeng said with a little pain.
"But didn't you say that now that the world is at peace, will you look at everything with a peaceful eye? And now that you don't carry weapons with you anymore, do you still see things this way? Wendy asked.
"I've put down the blade in my hand. But the blade in my heart is not so easy to put down. I'd like to see something else, but I can't see it. I want to learn to understand the good side of the world, but I can't really see it without someone to guide me. I am grateful to you because you told me what you saw and I shared in your happiness. Wei Zeng said.
"I'm really lucky to hear you say that. Except for the occasional upset, I don't really have any troubles at other times. Don't worry, I'll tell you what I've seen, as it is. Then we can all be happy. Wen Di was in a good mood after listening to Wei Zeng's words, so he kept talking and described everything he saw to Wei Zeng.
Wei Zeng saw that Wen Di became happy again, and he also put his heart down. He listened quietly, experiencing the beautiful world in a pair of beautiful eyes.
In August, Wei Zeng came to the vicinity of Suicheng, and the headquarters of the alliance was in front of him. When Fan Yuyi heard that Wei Zeng was coming, he also came out to greet him in person.
Fan and Wei Zeng hadn't met a few times, but Fan knew clearly that Wei Zeng was one of the few people who could understand his thoughts. Although they are thousands of miles apart, the two people are walking the same road, and this meeting is very cordial.
"The alliance should have been established ten years ago, and if it weren't for the accident in Suicheng, it wouldn't have been delayed until this time. It is a pity that the world has suffered from war for an extra ten years. When Fan Zhiyi saw Wei Zeng, he wanted to be polite, but the first sentence was this.
"Flowers bloom and fall, it is natural, and after the flowers fall, it is not far from bearing fruit. When I was a child, I heard a story about a man who ate three and a half steamed buns and was full, and then he complained on the sidelines. Others asked him why? He said, 'If I knew that I would be able to eat the last half of the steamed buns, I wouldn't eat the first three steamed buns, how nice it would be.' 'Does Master Fan think this man is wise?' Wei Zeng replied with an indifferent smile.
"I've lived for so long, and I'm a little confused. Without previous efforts, how could there be current results? When all the conditions are met, success will naturally come naturally. And those conditions are also up to us to prepare. General Wei is right, we have now successfully formed an alliance, and we should not negate those previous efforts. Fan Yuyi smiled dumbly, patted his head, and then shook his head and said.
"Master Fan is also a benevolent heart, so he will express the emotion just now. But now that the alliance has been established, this world is the stage for Lord Fan to play, as long as Mr. Fan pushes your benevolent heart to the open, the near future will be a prosperous era. Wei Zeng said.
"General Cheng Wei's auspicious words, but if you want to create a prosperous world, you can't rely on me alone. We can only succeed if all like-minded people work together. I heard that General Wei created a happy land in the depths of Yishan. Please also ask General Wei to tell me your experience, maybe it will be of great use to the future of the alliance. Fan said.
"It's just a small village, and Lord Fan is facing the whole world, I'm afraid it's still very different." Wei Zeng said.
"What's different about people's hearts? If one can be good, everyone can be good. There is no difference between a village and a world. Fan said.
"Master Fan is broad-minded and can accommodate the whole world, of course there is no difference in your eyes. Well, I'll tell you everything I've done over the years. However, I am also very interested in the efforts that Mr. Fan has made over the years, and I also ask Mr. Fan not to hide his secrets. Wei Zeng replied.
"No problem, no problem, everyone can communicate with each other, and naturally they can all get benefits. Please General Wei come with me into the mansion, now that the world is settled, we have plenty of time. Fan Yuyi smiled when he heard this, and with a word of invitation, he led Wei Zeng and his party into the house. (To be continued.) )
