Chapter 43: The Lonely Man
Dusk, the remnant sun.
The last touch of golden yellow on the horizon dyed the sky, and the cold wind blew across the bare hills of Feiyanzhuang.
Thousands of miles have been gone, leaving only two tombstones and two lonely mounds buried together.
Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation, Feng Fei and his wife will sleep here.
Mrs. Feng's tombstone is engraved with the couplet of Feiyanzhuang: "Yan crosses thousands of mountains and looks forward to the sky for a long time, and the dragon turns over thousands of rivers and looks at Chanjuan for thousands of miles." β
Feng Youcai said murmurfully: "My mother was born in a famous family, and she was a famous talented girl before she got married......
Although he could explain Mrs. Feng's couplet, he was embarrassed by his father Feng Fei's tombstone, because he didn't understand the meaning of the words on the tablet, and Feng Fei's tombstone was engraved with his last sentence:
"This was a lonely man!"
No one knows why he confessed such a sentence before he died, and no one understands the meaning of this sentence.
Hua Feihong stood in front of the tomb, feeling melancholy for a long time, she should have failed this task, but it didn't seem to have failed, and Zhang He seemed to have succeeded, but the two sides didn't receive any hints.
The fat man could finally speak: "Mr. Feng said that he is a lonely person, what do you think?" β
Xiao Lingling pondered: "Maybe his martial arts are already invincible, because he used to be the leader of the alliance. β
The fat man said: "If he is really invincible, why should he invite us to fight this Shushan woman?" β
"This ......," Xiao Lingling was speechless.
"Because, Miss Winter also has the word blue and blue in her name, and the alliance leader sees the name and thinks about people, so he tries his best to let you stay, but no one can imagine that this will be the result in the end." At this moment, Qiaogu's eyes were already red and swollen, and she also put away her tears, and said with her head held high: "The alliance leader met my young lady when he was ten years old. β
"Your young lady?" Zhang He's four mouths opened wide, "Ten years old? β
Qiaogu nodded: "My young lady's name is also Lanlan, and she is a person from Daqing in Liaozhou. β
Feng Youcai was surprised: "My family's ancestral home is Daqingcheng, Liaozhou. β
Qiao Gu continued to nod and said: "When my young lady was ten years old, she was the neighbor of the alliance leader's family, and the alliance leader was the only son of the Feng family, the first family in Daqingcheng, at that time, the old owner was extremely strict with the alliance master, two literary classes in the morning, noon and evening, three martial arts classes, no matter winter or summer, there was no delay......
"You!" Feng Youcai's eyes widened, "How do you know more about your father's affairs than I do?" β
Qiaogu's gaze fell on the distant green mountains opposite, as if she wanted to bring Zhang He and the others back to the end of distant memories......
When Feng Fei was ten years old, Lan Lan, the girl next door, quietly slipped into the Feng family's compound to peek at Feng Fei's sword practice, and it took a long time, so one day Feng Fei put down the wooden sword and escaped with Lan Lan.
They went to the countryside outside the city to play, frolic together, and climbed mountains together.
Lan Lan is very good-looking, her eyes are big and bright, and her laughing voice is as pleasant as a wind chime, which makes Feng Fei remember it deeply.
That day, Feng Fei and Lan Lan played late, they picked a lot of wild flowers, made two flower hats and put them on their heads, and went home talking and laughing.
But after returning home, Feng Fei was beaten severely by the ancestor holding the peachwood sword, and the blood stained his clothes red.
"In ancient times, who has achieved great things, who has not gone through a lot of hardships, who will be greedy for a day to play and make mistakes?" The ancestors admonished him like this, and Feng Fei had to take it as a warning.
But after a while, Feng Fei quietly ran to find Lan Lan again, only to find that Lan Lan's house had already been empty, and Feng Fei lingered for a long time under the ginkgo tree at the door of Lan Lan's house, looking very melancholy.
Feng Fei learned martial arts at the age of twenty-two, and left Daqing to go to Liaozhou to explore the rivers and lakes alone.
He was bold, free and easy, loved to fight unevenly, liked to draw a sword to help, and soon joined the first decent sect in Liaozhou "Tianshan Sword School", and repeatedly made miraculous achievements in the faction, with outstanding achievements, and soon was appreciated by the head of the family, and served as the sword honor of the Tianshan Sword School.
At the age of twenty-three, Feng Fei unexpectedly met Lan Lan who was collecting medicine on the Tianshan Mountain.
Lan Lan was dressed in a white Taoist suit, with long flowing hair, as fresh and refined as a fairy in the sky, from this moment on, Feng Fei was inseparable from Lan Lan.
From Lan Lan's innocent and cheerful laughter, Feng Fei really found the feeling of being with Lan Lan when he was a child, but there was another flavor in this feeling.
Zhang He, Fatty, Xiao Lingling, Hua Feihong, and Feng Youcai didn't dare to come out, and they all listened carefully to Qiaogu's narration, which they never dreamed of.
When Feng Fei was twenty-three years old, Lan Lan gave the hero a white jade bead chain, although the bead chain was just cheap jewelry sold by a merchant on the street for only two taels of silver, but for Lan Lan, who was alone to collect medicine, it was already a gift.
Feng Fei has always kept the bead chain on his body, and he was moved to practice his martial arts more diligently, improve his chivalrous name, and when he planned to be promoted to the Protector Elder, he would marry Lan Lan as his wife, and he was determined to marry the person he wanted to go home with a beautiful scenery.
But at the age of twenty-five, the ancestor Feige passed the book, and Feng Fei rushed back to Daqingcheng overnight.
Feng Fei was engaged, but his fiancΓ©e was not Lan Lan, but a woman born in another big martial arts family, Feng Fei only understood at this time that a person like him who was born in a martial arts family could not choose his daughter-in-law at will.
Feng Fei didn't dare to disobey the will of the ancestors, because the ancestors' faces were engraved with too much majesty and vicissitudes.
Half a year later, Feng Fei married his fiancΓ©e, and on that day the Feng family was unprecedentedly lively, and all martial arts colleagues came to congratulate him, and even the head of Tianshan Mountain personally came to marry the golden boy and jade heroine, and the wife is the current Mrs. Feng.
Mrs. Feng is beautiful and dignified, showing off her wisdom, she will cook, wash, and beat the back for Feng Fei and her ancestors every day, clean the inside and outside of the village courtyard every day, and accompany Feng Fei to practice swords under the afterglow of Luoyue every day.
Madame Feng's intelligence and ability were deeply appreciated by the ancestors, and the ancestors' wrinkled faces finally showed a smile that had not been seen for many years.
It's just that all this, Feng Fei felt as if something was missing in his heart.
At the age of twenty-five, Feng Fei went to Liaozhou again to explore the rivers and lakes, assisted the six doors to capture thousands of miles, cracked the sensational Liaozhou tribute theft case, and received the emperor's hand-picked royal gift.
The day of the Tianshan Mountain, which was said to be cold and cold, also became unprecedentedly lively with the arrival of the minister, and on the way up the mountain that day, Feng Fei met Lan Lan again.
Lan Lan is still as delicate and moving, and even more beautiful than before, like a peony blooming on an iceberg.
The moment they saw each other in the crowd, the two looked at each other without saying a word, Feng Fei wanted to step forward and recognize each other several times, but stopped again.
He just silently took out the bead chain, handed it back to Lan Lan, turned around and left.
After walking far away, Feng Fei turned back again, and vaguely, he saw Lan Lan's delicate face with tears spilling on his white robe.
That night, Feng Fei lay on his back in the ice and snow on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, watched the moon for a whole night, and didn't say a word.
At the age of twenty-eight, Feng Fei led the elite of Tianshan and the large and small gangs in Liaozhou to fight on the front line to deal with the bandits in Liaozhou's Black Wolf Village.
The ancestor of the family heard about it and said: "This is the true character of a hero, it is in vain that the Feng family has worked hard for 20 years, and the three generations of the Feng family have produced such a person who has come out of the world." β
When Mrs. Feng heard this, she was silent, and stood under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard every day, looking out to the far north.
At the age of thirty-three, Feng Fei defeated the first son of the Divine Sword in Liaozhou and deservedly became the first person in Liaozhou.
At the age of thirty-five, Feng Fei was already the acting head of the Tianshan Law Enforcement Elders, and under the recommendation of many famous experts, Feng Fei was elected as the leader of the Liaozhou District Martial Arts League.
So far, Feng Fei's career has reached its peak.
And on that day, it was also the 70th birthday of the ancestor, and Feng Fei returned to Daqingcheng.
This time, there are more famous celebrities in the rivers and lakes who come to celebrate their birthdays, and even the chief helmsman of the beggar gang in Liaozhou, the second senior sister of the Emei Sword Sect, and the first seat of the Shaolin Luohan Hall all came to congratulate.
In the extremely lively banquet, looking at the old ancestor of Longzhong's face with brilliance and smiles, Feng Fei felt a lot of pride and relief in his heart for the first time.
At the age of forty-two, the ancestor died of an immortal, and Feng Fei rushed back to Daqing all night.
Among the ancestors' relics was a letter to Feng Fei, which said that when Feng Fei was ten years old, Lan Lan moved his family to Sichuanzhou, which was all secretly arranged by the ancestors, and everything was for Feng Fei's future.
After reading the letter, Feng Fei shed heroic tears for the first time, he was grateful to his ancestors for their love and care, and finally realized his father's painstaking efforts, and he was also grateful to Lan Lan for coming from Sichuan to Tianshan for decades, and he never left him for decades.
It's just that he can't do anything about all this, and he has no choice.
Hearing this, Hua Feihong was already shocked, and Xiao Lingling had already burst into tears.
This is a beautiful but tragic story, full of age-old philosophies that have been difficult for countless men and women throughout the ages, but this story is not the first, nor is it the last.
In the rivers and lakes, men are unlucky, people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, whether it is for love and righteousness, or for loyalty and filial piety, anyway, they just have one thing they can't do, that is, for themselves.
And the women in the rivers and lakes are even more unfortunate, whether they are gentle and beautiful, charming, innocent and simple, or even obsessive, just like Lan Lan and Mrs. Feng, they stumble and crawl, just to find the most primitive happiness in a man's world, but in the end, they are usually only disillusioned.
Happiness may be like the couplet engraved on Feiyanzhuang: "Yan crosses thousands of mountains and looks forward to the sky for a long time, and the dragon turns over thousands of rivers and looks at thousands of miles of Chanjuan." β
The first one to interject must be the fat man: "Later, what about Miss Lanlan later?" β
Qiaogu glanced at Hua Feihong, and said word by word: "My young lady has never married, after the alliance leader abandoned her, she returned to Sichuanzhou, and asked with her heart to find immortals, and later worshiped Shushan and became the sword master admired by ten thousand people, and she is your teacher, the Lingyin fairy of the Seven Saints of the Shushan Sword Sect Shaking Light Palace." β
This sentence was like a bombshell, and Hua Feihong was stunned on the spot.
Zhang He said: "But what about you? How do you know so much about these things? β
Qiaogu said: "My mother is the little maid around Miss Lanlan when she was a child, when the alliance leader retired, my mother sent me to Feiyan Canyon and told me to protect the safety of the alliance leader's family, so as to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Miss Lanlan." β
Zhang He's throat was also choked on the spot, and he couldn't ask a word anymore.
