Yang Fan sat there quietly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "When I was a child, I lived in a small mountain village, carefree, and I never thought about how big the world outside the mountain village was. If it hadn't happened to the bloody incident that followed, I think I would have grown up there in peace, married a girl from the mountains, and probably had a baby of my own.

Many years later, my children and grandchildren will bury me in the cemetery among the weeds on the sunny hillside, and every year during the Qingming Festival, they will come to my grave to put a few fresh fruits, and during the Double Festival, they will come to the grave to burn a stack of paper money for me. From birth to death, I was there, except for Shaozhou City, I would never go anywhere else in my life, and I would not know anyone else.

Perhaps, such a day is boring in the eyes of others, but if people live, sooner or later they will die, sooner or later they will turn into a billet of loess, whether you are an emperor or a general, or whether you are a pawn of a peddler, it is the same result. Whether the grave is built spectacularly or not, it is someone else who has something to do with you? The peace of the village is not a kind of happiness. ”

Ma Qiao didn't know that he Weishenme suddenly said this, and looked at him fixedly, with a puzzled expression.

Yang Fan continued: "However, the heavens did not obey people's wishes, my village was destroyed, my relatives died, and I had to leave to find a new life. At the same time, he is burdened with the grievances of his relatives and the debts of his relatives. But this is just a responsibility, not the whole of my life in the future, when I finish all this, I will always find my own way and start my own life. Do you know how I plan it? ”

Ma Qiao couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "I plan to find my Niuniu first after the debt is cleared......"

Ma Qiao said: "In terms of age, she has grown up now and is working as a maid in a wealthy family. Two more years. Maybe he will be assigned by the master to marry, and marry a housekeeper or a competent domestic servant as his wife. In the vast sea of people, where do you go to find it? She saved you. But you also saved her, you don't have to put so much responsibility on your shoulders. ”

Yang Fan said seriously: "Whether she is my responsibility or not, I don't know." But she's my concern! ”

"Concerned?"

"That's right! Care! Although we are not related by blood. But we are closer than our biological brothers and sisters. If I can't find her, I'm not at ease if she's alive now, so I'm going to find her! If she has become a relative, and her man treats her well, I can leave with peace of mind and live my own life.

If she is not married, and her master is not good to her, if she is willing to go with me. Then I will take her away and treat her as my own sister-in-law, and I will be responsible for finding her a good husband. Prepare a dowry for her. Marry her off in style. ”

"What about you, what are your own plans?"

"Maybe I'll go back to Nanyang. My master is now the lord of a country, and my senior brother is the young master, and I can live a good life there. Of course, if I meet a girl and like her, and she likes to live in Datang, I will stay with her. No matter where you are, as long as you have a land and a house, and you have your own things to do, let my wife and children live a stable life. ”

"Simple, isn't it?"

Yang Fan looked at Ma Qiao with a smile and said: "Every man grows up, he must marry a wife and have children, have his own family, and reproduce his own children and grandchildren. Princes and generals, dignitaries, gentry and merchants, and peddlers and pawns were all born as human beings, born adults, married wives and had children, and turned into loess.

The same road, there is no difference, even if you own the whole world, in fact, the road you have walked is no different from what I said has been living in a small mountain village, then the whole world is just a larger village. …,

However, if you have the opportunity to become a prince, you might as well try to get it, because then your cottage will be more relaxed, your courtyard will be larger, your fence wall will be stronger, and you can sleep more comfortably at night, without worrying about weasels burrowing into your fence wall and stealing chickens.

Yang Fan smiled and said: "If you don't have the ability to be a prince and general, then take a step back, be a dignitary, be a gentry and businessman...... all in all, how much ability you have, you must strive for what you can get with your ability, because in this way, your parents, wife and children will live a better life." ”

Yang Fan turned to Ma Qiao, sat face to face with him, and asked seriously: "I am seventeen this year, you are nineteen, and I am two years older, and it will be time for you to perform the crown salute soon." Have you ever wondered how you will care for your old age in the future? How to marry a wife and have children? What kind of mountain village are you going to give them, what kind of fence yard are you going to give them? ”

Ma Qiao was stunned.

Yang Fan stared at him and asked, "You never thought about this, did you?" ”

Ma Qiao's face was a little swollen and red, and he couldn't speak.

Yang Fan said: "The eldest lady works hard to do business and save money for you to marry a daughter-in-law." Although she can't do things in a way and loses money for any business, she at least knows that what she wants to do, weishenme has to do it.

But what about you? Everyone praises you for being filial, you are filial, but have you ever thought about how you and your family will live in a year, and how you and your family will live in ten years? Have you ever wondered if your mother is already old, if she suddenly becomes seriously ill, how can you get medical treatment for her with the few pennies in your pocket? Have you ever wondered how to organize your life in the future? ”

Ma Qiaomian is red-eared, and he already has a feeling of self-embarrassment.

Yang Fan was unceremonious, and said in a mocking tone: "You don't!" You just live in a mess, open your eyes every day, fill your stomach, and deal with the errands in the workshop, even if you spend a day. When you go home at night, fill your stomach again, and then fall asleep, your long-term plan for life has probably only been thought about in three days, right? ”

Ma Qiaomian said red-earedly: "I ...... I ......"

Yang Fan said: "The matter between you and Bao Yinyin, right or wrong for the time being, but you can later stand up and not let the innocent die for you in vain, not only others praise you for your righteousness and responsibility, you must also be quite proud in your own heart, you feel that you are a hero, right?" I won't talk about you about this matter, no matter how shrewd a person is, there are times when he is confused, but what do you say about Keju?

Chu Yangge was kicked out of the forbidden army back then, and returning to the forbidden army was his biggest dream, which was related to the fate of his life, you say, is this just a matter of playing a ball? And this is not an opportunity for you? Brother Chu thought about making meritorious contributions to this incident and letting the abbot ensure that he returned to the forbidden army, why didn't you think of it?

Do you plan to go back to becoming a monk after the storm is calm, or do you plan to be a monk for the rest of your life? I don't think about how you're going to live in the future! There is still an old lady waiting for you to take care of at home, you still have decades of life, such a good opportunity is in front of you, you are still confused, you don't want to think about it! ”

Ma Qiao was scolded and sweated profusely.

Yang Fan said: "I just asked you, what do people want to live?" Human life has no meaning in itself, and it is no different from a pig, a dog, or a mosquito! What matters is what you give it and what you fight for it! This is the foundation of man's soul of all things! It doesn't matter if you throw a ball at someone, what I want to know is, when will you get your destiny back! ”

Yang Fan's footsteps grew farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into Tallinn. …,

Ma Qiao sat there alone, for a long, long time, motionless.

It was getting dark, and Ma Qiao was still sitting there, in harmony with the stone tower that had stood for thousands of years.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Early the next morning, when Yang Fan walked to the Keju field with a group of players, he saw Ma Qiao cleaning the court seriously. The spacious court was almost completely cleared, and I don't know when he would get up.

The monks were very surprised, but they didn't say anything, Yang Fan didn't speak, of course he hoped to wake up Ma Qiao, but the same words can play a role in some people, and for some people, it is just three days of heat, whether Ma Qiao really repents, we have to see again to know.

Today, they had to wait for the forbidden army to arrive, so they still didn't do too intense exercise, mainly to move their bodies. A group of monks were practicing bowing, and suddenly the side door of the temple backyard was wide open, dozens of horses galloped in, and the monks who were practicing on the field stopped and looked at the group one after another.

These people are older than thirty years old, and the younger ones are less than twenty, wearing all kinds of arrow sleeves and short beats, and tall horses with a color under their crotch, although they are young, fat and thin, tall and short, and the color of their clothes and clothes is different from the color of the horses under their crotch, but their movements and manners are awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.

If only one of them appeared on horseback, it might not be possible for people to guess their identities and origins, but with so many people appearing at the same time, their spirit and spirit are as resolute as ever, Yang Fan suddenly understood that these people were the forbidden army bow team they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Chu Yangge reined in the war horse and looked at the group, his body suddenly shook, and he lost his mind a little. Among those people, there were two faces that he was familiar with. Those people looked around and looked at this group of monks, originally with a look of disdain, but they quickly noticed Chu Yange.

Chu Yangge is tall, standing out from the crowd in this group of monks, it is difficult not to notice him, at a glance at his appearance, two of those people were stunned, the two looked at each other, whispered a few words, as if they wanted to confirm Chu Yangge's identity, and then both knocked on the horse's belly and greeted him.

The two of them galloped to Chu Yangge's side, looked him up and down, and one of them said with some surprise: "Foot...... But the surname Chu? ”

Chu Yange's face was a little red with excitement, and there were already tears in his eyes, listening to the two of them asking, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Li Da, Wei San, I haven't seen you for a few years, don't you recognize me Chu Yange?" ”
