Chapter 25 Miscellaneous Notes on Stone Wind
One night, everyone hurried to the secluded place, and there was a lot of noise all the way, but the strange thing was that since the armor soldiers left, there were no pursuers from the Strength Sect to come. Still, everyone was cautious. Along the way, Wen first changed his previous laughing attitude, his face was serious, his eyes were cautious, and he was always vigilant around him. Wei Zeng was surprised to see this, he didn't expect Wen Di to have such a side, he really didn't know that the image of being arrogant and teasing was her true face; Or is this serious and serious attitude her true nature.
When he was about to leave the Yushan Mountain Road, there was still no strength cultist to follow, but he encountered a group of robbers. After Wen Di killed a few people, he lost interest, and watched Wei Gu and the others repel the robbers, and only supported one or two when someone was in danger. After repelling the robbers, they went out of the Yushan Mountain Road, and everyone separated when they saw that there was no danger.
Wen Di breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Yushan Mountain Road and seeing off the caravan guards. Facing Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi again, Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi knew that Wen Di's old mistake had been committed again. As soon as Gu Cha saw this, he said that he would find a tea shop in front of him to prepare food for everyone. Wei Zeng saw Gu Chayi leave like this, thinking about what he should do. Wen Di saw that Gu Cha had run away, and Wei Zeng looked like he was in trouble, so he laughed with a snort.
"Am I that terrible? Why are you so virtuous? ”
"It's nothing, it may have scared you before."
"Yes! Hahahaha. ”
"I'm talking about Gu Chayi, I'm not afraid of you, you see I'm not like this, I didn't run."
"I don't think you had time to run. Ha ha. How about it, let's discuss martial arts here. ”
"It's naturally good to discuss martial arts, but can we not do it, and only discuss it theoretically. Don't laugh, I'm not afraid of you, I'm not injured yet, and I shouldn't exercise vigorously. ”
"Yes, Brother Wei's injury is not healed yet, so don't do it."
"Forget it, this time for the sake of the real girl, I won't care about you. But when you're healed, we'll try again. It's a rare thing for my Liu Xia to teach people martial arts, don't you don't cherish it. ”
Wei Zeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that he must choose a place where there is no one in the future competition with Wendi, and this time he will let Wei Zhen see that he was beaten violently, how embarrassing it would be.
In the midst of such jokes and teasing, the four of them rushed to Stone Wind City.
Three years ago, Wei Zeng fled from Shifeng City in a hurry with Weizhen, and today Wei Zeng took Weizhen to stride into Shifeng City. Wei Zeng is not afraid of a few gangsters now, and after listening to the news of past businessmen, he is not wanted, thinking that the gangsters at the beginning are either not dead, or they dare not report the case.
After staying in the hotel, Wen Di said that he was going to find his father, and as soon as Gu Cha came to Shifeng City for the first time, he saw that Shifeng City was full of novelties from Mobei, Yanbei and Anyun, so he told him and went out. Wei Zhen said that she wanted to go home to see, and Wei Zeng was worried that she would be in danger alone, so she went together.
Walking on the familiar streets, he looked sad for a while, a smile appeared on his face, he glanced at a few buildings, and shook his head at the cries of street vendors.
When he walked to the alley where Wei Zeng once lived, Wei Zeng saw that a beggar had occupied that place, and Wei Zeng thought to himself that there would be no shortage of miserable people in this troubled world.
The small courtyard of the Weizhen family has been inhabited by other people, and the former situation has completely disappeared. Wei Zhen wanted to find a few memories of his mother, and finally cried when he saw this scene where this person was neither a thing nor a thing.
"Brother Wei, let's go, I'm too tired today, I want to go back and rest early."
"You really don't have to be too sad, Brother Wei will always be with you, I have already decided to take care of you when I took you away. You and your mother were very kind to me and made me feel at home again, but I have long regarded you as family. ”
"Thank you, Brother Wei, you are so good to me."
Just when Wei Zeng was about to leave this alley with Wei Zhen, an old man walked out of the door, and the old man went out and stared at Wei Zhen a few times, and asked, "Are you the child of the Li family next door before?" It looks like it, I guess I'm not mistaken. ”
"Grandpa Zhao, it's me, I can still meet you if I don't arrive first. Brother Wei, this is Grandpa Zhao, and he used to take good care of me and my mother. ”
"Didn't you get taken away by those people three years ago? They didn't treat you well, did they? And what kind of person is this young man, how can he be with you. ”
"This is Brother Wei, he saved me three years ago, and he has been taking care of me ever since, and he has been kind to me. Actually, Grandpa Zhao, you have also met Brother Wei, he used to live in my house for a period of time three years ago. ”
"I'm really impressed when you say that. Now that the world is so chaotic, you are not very old, are you living an okay life? ”
"Brother Wei is very capable, and we have had a good life in the past three years. Grandpa Zhao, are you doing well?"
"It's not good or bad, it's been a natural disaster and man-made disaster these days, and it's good to be alive with an old bone like me. In the past few years, the imperial court has become more and more disagreeable, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are almost no longer alive. Speaking of which, the new emperor is also inspirational, but he can't toss around. I heard that he will send troops today to pacify the Zhantu people who are in rebellion in Mobei, tomorrow he will overhaul water conservancy and control the Guanluo River, and the day after tomorrow he will immigrate to Yaodong and Guanbei to open up wasteland. This thing has to be done one by one to be done, how much money does it cost to do so many things at once, and how much manpower does it cost. When the treasury has no money, it collects taxes, but it hurts us ordinary people. I heard that some loyal ministers also admonished him, but the new emperor punished all the opponents one by one, saying that these people disregarded the country's foundation and prevented him from treating Chen Ke's chronic illness left by the previous dynasty. Hi. I heard that there are many people in Anyun who can't live anymore, last year there was a person in yellow who said that the angel wanted to save the people and incite the hungry people to riot, and I heard that they were all fought to the outskirts of Beijing before they were pacified by the iron-blooded army. Since the beginning of spring this year, there has not been a drop of rain in Yanbei, and our Yanbei is not rich, and every household has no surplus grain. The old man opened up the conversation when he talked about life, and it can be seen that the old man has endured a lot of this hard life.
Wei Zeng and Wen Di couldn't help but sigh when they heard the old man, the court was not clear, the world was unstable, and life was becoming more and more miserable. I had to keep comforting on the sidelines. In the end, Weizhen asked the location of his mother's grave and said goodbye to the old man. When the old man left, he took Wei Zeng's hand and said: "Young man, Weizhen has been very good and sensible since she was a child, but it's a pity that good people are not rewarded, and she has suffered enough since she was a child." Now that she's with you, you must treat her well. I think you're not bad, just say a few more words, and don't blame me for talking too much. ”
Wei Zeng and Weizhen said goodbye to the old man and came to the mass grave in the east of the city, I don't know how many unjust souls have been added in the past three years, and Weizhen's mother's tomb has long been indistinguishable. Weizhen bowed to the mass grave a few times, and Quan Zuo comforted.
When the two returned to the hotel, it was already early, Liu Hexin took Wen Di to the hotel, and Gu Chayi had already returned. After Wei Zeng greeted Liu Hexin, he invited Liu Hexin to have dinner together, and Liu Hexin did not refuse. Wei Zhen said that he was tired, so he asked for some food, ate it and went back to his room to rest. During the meal, Liu Hexin may have drunk a few more glasses, or he may not be as strong as when he was younger, anyway, he said a lot of things, most of them were about Wendi. Wen Di was on the side, and he couldn't stop shouting "Daddy", but Liu Hexin just replied and said to Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi to himself.
"Back then, I was also young and frivolous, thinking that with my own strength, a single sword could wipe out the evils of the world. once killed a giant thief on the Siqing Sea, but fell into a heavy siege, so he had to jump into the water and go with the flow to pick up a life, and thus met Wendi's mother. She rescued me by the water and took good care of me. I am also grateful to her, and I have experienced a lot of things in the world, and I have long been a little tired, and I am also very longing for stability when I escaped death. She heard that I was a chivalrous warrior and had killed the thieves of the Four Seas, and she also had a good impression of me. So after the injury was healed, we got married and lived the life of a fisherman and fisherwoman in Sihaihai. I don't want my wife to be blessed, and she gave birth to Wendi again and went in childbirth. ”
"Since then, I have left Siqinghai and have been walking the world with Wendi all the time. At the beginning, Wendi was only a half-foot baby, but now she has grown into this slim girl. More than ten years have passed in a hurry, looking at Wen Di's appearance more and more like her mother's face, and the progress of martial arts is faster and faster than that of me at the beginning, and I am also happy as a father. But the girl is not staying, Wen Di is now at the age when she should start a family, and if she continues to travel the world with me like this, I am afraid that it will delay the major events of my life. ”
"Wendi has been wandering with me since she was a child, and she has experienced a lot of things, and she is also a very assertive person, but she has no playmates since she was a child, although she is accompanied by my father, but I also know that she is very lonely, and I want to have some friends to play with. Wen met the two of you in Guiwu City three years ago, that was the happiest period of her life, Wen has been thinking about you for the past few years, but we have been walking in Kansai and Jiangnan in the past few years, and we have no chance to go back to Guiwu. This is not because a friend invited me to Shifeng City, a few days ago Wen Di left a letter saying that he wanted to go to Guiwu City to see his uncle, so he left alone, and asked me to wait for her to come back in Shifeng City. Although I know Wendi's martial arts, ordinary people can't help her, but the world is sinister, and I am really worried. ”
"The two of you can be recognized by Senior Brother Yan, and your own quality should also be good. It's rare for my family Wendi to have such a good companion, and she is happy to come. Although my family Wendi is a little petted by me, he is still very sensible. The two teachers and nephews are also good, and they can also be entrusted, if they can further develop with Wendi, when my Wendi has settled, I, as a father, will be completely relieved. ”
When Wen Di heard Liu Hexin's words, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he glared at Wei Zeng and Gu Cha, and quickly stopped Liu Hexin and told him to continue.
"Wendi, why are you here, aren't you going to Guiwu?" Liu Hexin said very unsoberly.
"Dad, you're drunk, didn't I come back today. And why did you say those words, it's still in this public, it's not a shame. Wendy said with disgust.
"Did I say anything, I don't remember, maybe my drinking brain is a little confused." Liu Hexin's eyes cleared up a little, and then he didn't know whether he really forgot or pretended to forget, and said with a surprised face.
Wen Di couldn't help but complain a few words coquettishly, Liu Hexin responded a few words, and then drank a few glasses and talked to himself, talking about some things when Wen Di was a child.
Wen Di saw that his father didn't mention the marriage, but he told Wei Zeng and Gu Cha all the things he did back then, and he couldn't do anything about it in his heart. So he kept putting on a fierce look, looking at Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi, so that the two of them didn't dare to reply. Under the coercion of Wendi, Wei Gu and the others had no choice but to drink and eat food silently, and only nodded in response to Liu Hexin's words.
When Wen Di went back with Liu Hexin, who was already drunk, he left one last word for Wei Zeng and Gu Cha and left.
"Forget everything you just heard, and if I let me know that you dare to go around talking, I will never spare you. Hum. ”
