Chapter 42: Imagining the Future
Lin Feng originally wanted to exercise with the Shouzhou Army, but as soon as he took a step, he found that the injury in his ribs was in terrible pain, so he had to give up reluctantly, and found "Shang Luoluo" Shang Chengren and Zhao Chengyu to accompany him all the way back to Shouzhou Thorn Mansion.
This will be your own city from now on! Along the way, Lin Feng held the reins of the horse in his hand and walked slowly, observing this thousand-year-old city with curiosity and enthusiasm with the eyes of a parent looking at his child.
It's late May, the summer heat is still unabated, although the sun has set, but the whole city is still bright, on both sides of the street, small stalls fluttering small flags and behind the shops hanging wooden plaques against each other, crowds come and go in these plaques, high and low shouting, laughter mixed in, it is a prosperous and peaceful old city street scene.
"Lord Lin, this kind of street scene can be completely painted!" Zhao Chengyu was the first to speak.
Shang Luoluo's eyes swept over the crowd on the street sharply, and said, "What Lao Zhao said is right. However, I feel that what makes this street so lively is the people on the street. Alas, Lao Zhao, have you noticed that they are laughing happily one by one? ”
"Nonsense, what painter am I worthy of without observing this? It's their heartfelt smiles and calm gait that make this street completely different! Zhao Chengyu glanced at Shang Luoluo and said in a low voice.
At this time, the two young men ran past Lin Feng and the three of them in a fight, and the words of the two laughing and scolding also reached the ears of the three of them:
"With those two brushes of yours, you still want to outrun me in the Tour of the City? I'm afraid you can't even see my background, right? ”
"Come on, you don't underestimate me! I'm still running out of town by myself every night, and when the time comes, you'll definitely not be able to catch up! This is called three days of Shibei, impressive! ”
"you, you're still dragging the text with me, as if you've read a book for many days! It's up to you, I'll talk about it when you can win! ”
……
Watching the two of them run away with a smile, Lin Feng was suddenly full of joy and felt that the injuries on his body didn't hurt at all, he turned around and looked at the two brothers with a smile, and asked, "If you didn't follow me, what would it be like now?" ”
Zhao Chengyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I, I guess I'm sitting at the door of King Zheng's mansion at this time shaking a fan to enjoy the coolness, it's not interesting at all." ”
Shang Luoluo touched the horse behind him and pondered for a moment: "I'm just afraid that I am still living in the forbidden army, and it is impossible to have glorious deeds such as going north to Liao Kingdom and south to Qingyuan!" Every time I go back to Jinling, those old brothers in the forbidden army will come to my house to listen to my stories, and they are envious! I am truly grateful to Lord Lin for giving me the opportunity to go out and see the world! ”
Lin Feng didn't want to hear their words of thanks when he brought up this topic, he shook his head, pointed to the crowd in front of him, and said with a smile: "We are actually just like them, we are all ordinary people!" But because we have those opportunities, or we have created those opportunities ourselves, we have enriched our experiences and filled our experiences. What kind of spectacle would it be if each of them could have such and such opportunities?! ”
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly remembered that the reform and opening up of New China in the later generations was essentially a liberation of people, so it successfully released the development potential of the vast number of ordinary Chinese, so it caused magnificent and brilliant development achievements. If we can liberate the people of this city and even more people in the world from the shackles of the spirit, body and concept of the past, how much energy will the Chinese nation explode?
Zhao Chengyu's eyes narrowed slightly, leisurely, and sighed in his mouth: "That must be the reappearance of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Shang Luo Luo was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to a girl in Luo Yi, yearning for it.
Lin Feng smiled silently, but his heart fluctuated like waves. What is the Tang Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty experienced Tang Taizong's "Zhenguan Governance", Tang Gaozong's "Yonghui Governance", Wu Zetian's "Governance of Hongzhenguan, Political Enlightenment Kaiyuan" and Tang Xuanzong's "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era", and the prosperity period was only 130 years, but in Lin Feng's future ambition, what he wanted was to change the eternal shackles of feudal China, what he wanted was for China to successfully get rid of the law of historical cycles, for the millennium of prosperity, for eternal prosperity, and for China to always be proud of the top of the world!
In such an atmosphere, the three of them walked more and more slowly, and it was not until the beginning of the lanterns that they rushed back to the Thorn Mansion. At this time, just in time for the five Chen Fei brothers to lead a group of children back from outside, they were lining up in a scattered line to enter the house.
"Big brother!! Big Brother is back! Duan Rui, who stayed in the middle of the team to play with a child, inadvertently looked up and saw Lin Feng, who was smiling at him, and immediately shouted in surprise.
"Big brother is back!"
"That's Lord Lin! No, Brother Lin! ”
The attention of these children was all attracted, and they all gathered around Lin Feng's side.
During this time, not only the Chen Fei brothers, but all the people who followed Lin Feng to Shouzhou, even the soldiers and civilians of Shouzhou in this city, as long as Lin Feng was mentioned, there was no one who didn't give a thumbs up. Especially these wandering orphans who used to be disgusted, now that some people care about it, some people take care of it, and with Chen Fei and others preaching day and night, the miraculous deeds of Lin Feng that were deeply imprinted in their minds in the past suddenly came to their hearts at this moment, making many children's eyes moisten suddenly.
Lin Feng was rushed by Duan Rui, who rushed into his arms, and his body was unfree to exert force, pulling the wound, and he almost couldn't breathe, so he had to put Duan Rui down, holding his ribs and bending over to gasp for air.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Duan Rui and Chen Fei, who arrived first, changed color at the same time, and one supported Lin Feng on one side, and asked eagerly.
"It's just a little bit of a wound!" Lin Feng comforted the five brothers, then turned to the children who gathered around and said loudly, "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Feng!" Let's go to the house to wash, and then eat together, and then you tell me your names one by one, let's get to know each other first, okay? ”
"Good!" The children shouted in unison, and quickly poured into the Assassin's Mansion.
Opposite to this group of children, many people poured out of the Thorn History Mansion, and the five beauties who ran at the forefront were naturally Zhou Ehuang, Xiao Fei'er, Duan Feihong, Yaya, and Feifei, who didn't care about their manners. Seeing Lin Feng's painful condition of not being able to straighten his waist, several girls cried directly.
Lin Feng couldn't cry or laugh, so he hurriedly comforted them with kind words and told everyone to enter the mansion.
After a long period of bustle and hustle, Lin Feng instructed the chef who had been recruited back to put all the meals in a large courtyard and find a place to sit down with all the family members.
Lin Feng watched the five beauties neatly pile up plates of dishes on the stone table in front of him, and carefully observed them in private, and found that Zhou Ehuang, Xiao Fei'er, and Duan Feihong didn't seem to have anything obviously wrong, so he put his mind at ease.
Waiting for everyone to serve the bowl, Lin Feng held up a bowl that was piled high with vegetables, and shouted: "My family, my brother, I am officially back!" Never to leave you again! ”
For Lin Feng's words, those orphans only felt relieved and surprised, but for Xiao Fei'er, Duan Feihong, Yaya, and Feifei, it was shocking news! For more than a year, Lin Feng has been running around all over the world, and there are very few moments when he can get together with them.
Lin Feng smiled at Xiao Fei'er and the others, who had tears in their eyes again, and gently raised the bowl, then walked up to the one hundred and thirty-six orphans sitting on the ground, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, from today onwards, we are all brothers!"
Chen Fei immediately knocked the bowl in his hand with chopsticks and shouted, "Brother Lin! Brother Lin! Seeing that his "commander" had begun, a group of children all shouted along with each other.
When the children's shouts fell slightly, Lin Feng shouted loudly: "Before, like everyone, I was also an orphan, I was helpless since I was a child, and I could only rely on myself. However, we are together now, from this moment on, let's rely on each other, you are my brothers, I am your big brother! ”
"Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie Lin!" An older child stood up, striking his chest with his small arm and roaring wildly. The other children also put down the bowls in their hands and demonstrated in unison the special soldier greeting ceremony they had learned from Chen Fei.
Lin Feng looked at the children in front of him with satisfaction, walked up to the five little girls, touched their hair lovingly, and asked softly, "In the future, the five of you will live with Yaya and Feifei, okay?" ”
"Good!" The youngest girl, who was only about five years old, replied softly in a childish voice, and her innocence and loveliness caused a chuckle among the orphans.
Lin Feng turned around, looked at all the orphans, tears in his eyes, and said loudly: "Big brother, my experience in the past year has been motivating me, as an orphan, our poverty and embarrassment in the past are not only not humiliation, but a special training from God, which can become the wealth of each of us!" That's because, as long as we work hard, we will be a little better every day than yesterday! We are going above and beyond every day! Tell me, you all know Brother Wei Sanwei, right? ”
"Acquaintance!" This time, the orphans replied in unison.
Lin Feng pulled over Xi Mucheng, who had been watching with a smile from the side, pointed at him and said, "Mr. Xi, needless to say, you meet every day, and you should know each other." Among my brothers, those who are as wise as Mr. Xi and those who are as brave as Brother Wei are the ones who are martial, they are the examples you should learn from, and they are the direction of your efforts in the future!
Today, I make a promise in front of all my family members: as long as I, Lin Feng, am in one day, I will guarantee to give you the best learning environment, the best exercise environment, and ensure that you will never have to worry about food and clothing! I don't expect each of you to become a person like Mr. Xi and Brother Wei in the future, but I hope that in a few years, each of you will be able to become an upright person, a brave person, a dignified person, and a caring person. Tell me, can you do it? ”
"Yes!" Including Chen Fei and Yaya, all the children shouted out with all their strength, and the crisp and neat voice suddenly made this crowded small courtyard more warm and moving.
"Good! Let's start and eat! Lin Feng took the lead in pulling a large mouthful of rice into his mouth, and the children all took a big bite with smiles and tears.
