Chapter 45: The Dao Heart is Subtle
"Old man, do you regret it?"
Chen Yi asked softly.
"Regrets? When soldiers fight, how can there be immortals? This is our life, our mission. ”
The old man smiled faintly: "It's fate, we have such a little fate in this life." ”
"It's okay, I just thought, I'll live this life well, and in the next life, I'll still look for her."
"At that time, there will be no war, well, it shouldn't be, the country is so strong, it will be even stronger in the future, no one dares to bully us. At that time, I will live a good life with her, which is good. ”
The old man spoke in a slow tone, with a smile on his lips and a wistful glint in his eyes, as if he had seen what he had described.
Chen Yi listened and slowly closed his eyes.
"Look at me, what are you talking about so much? People are old, it's really ...... Don't say it, don't say it, young man, are you hungry or not, I still have two pig's trotters here, if you don't dislike it, eat it. ”
The old man looked embarrassed, walked to the edge of the stove, opened the lid on the pot, and brought out a plate with two pig's trotters on it.
Chen Yi opened his eyes, glanced at the pig's trotters, sighed, and closed his eyes again.
With a hint of pain and a hint of relief, he slowly spoke: "Old man, you are right, everything will be realized, so ...... Don't wait any longer, go for it in peace......"
The old man was stunned: "Young man, what did you say?" ”
Chen Yi opened his eyes again and looked at the old man with blazing eyes: "Tell me, how did you die?" ”
"I'm dead?"
The old man's eyes were slightly dull and dazed, and his mouth repeatedly muttered: "I'm dead? I'm dead? I'm dead? ……”
"Wake up!"
Chen Yi's tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and a golden lotus flower bloomed in an instant, and it was fleeting.
The old man slammed suddenly, and the clarity in his eyes gradually returned.
"It turns out that I really died."
The old man sighed, but there was no fear or reluctance on his face, but a trace of relief and joy.
His figure gradually became transparent, as if unreal.
"Old man, tell me, how did you die?"
Chen Yi stood up and hurriedly asked.
"How did you die?"
The old man gradually became an illusory figure, frowning slightly, as if he was recalling, and then let go in an instant: "By the way, I remembered......"
Then he shook his head at Chen Yi: "Young man, forget it, I'm dead, why bother harming a child?" That's it, okay, I'm going to see her, I can finally go see her......"
The old man said, his face full of longing and joy.
Soon, the illusory figure disappeared completely.
The room seemed to have lost a layer of color.
The fire under the stove had long since been extinguished, only a pile of embers, I don't know how long it had been extinguished, and the kettle sitting on it had not emitted white gas.
On the bed and on the table, there is a thick layer of dust.
The cups on the table are dry.
The plate on the table, with two trotters, had not been moved, but had already stinked.
Chen Yi also remembered that this was what he gave to the bald dog in the powder shop that day, and it took it back, but did not take a bite.
"Whew~"
The bald dog lying on the edge of the stove got up, whimpered in the empty space, and a deep sadness appeared in one eye, and a line of muddy tears slid down.
"Alas......"
Chen Yi sighed heavily.
"Where are you going?"
He saw the bald dog suddenly jump out and run as fast as he could on three legs.
Seeing this, Chen Yi immediately chased him out.
The bald dog only has three legs left, and at this time, it runs very fast.
Chen Yi is not an ordinary person, and he quickly followed.
Followed closely behind, glancing in the direction in which the bald dog was running, it seemed to be ...... Cemetery?
Not long after, the bald dog stopped, in front of a tombstone.
"Woo~woo~"
After a few wailing barks at the tombstone, the bald dog suddenly turned around, left some distance, and ran wildly towards the tombstone.
"Hey!"
Chen Yi watched from afar, was suddenly startled, shouted, and ran over as fast as he could, but it was too late.
"Bang!"
The bald dog fell softly in front of the tombstone, and on the tombstone, blood burst out, like a blood flower in full bloom.
"Why should you bother!"
Chen Yi hung his hand weakly, walked to the side of the bald dog, and squatted down, pitiful and angry.
It's hopeless......
The bald dog's head collapsed and was a blur.
"Alas, if you are like this, you may suffer more if you live, go and accompany your master......"
Chen Yi shook his head and glanced up at the tombstone:
The tomb of Old Man Lee
Don't even know the name?
Chen Yi shook his head.
He asked the old man before, do you regret it?
On the battlefield, the old man met his wife, but he lost his wife again, and a pair of legs......
Should I blame it? Who is to blame?
The old man never seemed to have such thoughts, just a person, living silently.
Chan couldn't understand either.
My wife is dead, my legs are gone, why don't I complain? How can you not complain?
can't understand why he wants to live alone,
His wife died, his legs were gone, he was unknown, and he was alone on the edge of the forest, and he lived most of his life.
Even dead, not even a name.
In that case, why do you have to live alone for so many years?
He felt that this way of living should be called Gou Huo, but he couldn't use the word for the old man.
Can't understand his feelings for his wife.
They obviously only met after being introduced, there was no mountain alliance and sea oath, no sky and earth shattering, and even the time they were together for less than two years.
Why didn't he marry another person, but chose to live a lonely life?
So many whys, Chen didn't understand.
But the old man's answer to him made him wake up a little.
The old man's thoughts, perhaps, are not so complicated, they are very simple and simple.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people now, it is also ridiculous......
If there is an afterlife, may the world be peaceful,
If there is an afterlife, may the country and the people be safe,
If there is an afterlife, stay with you......
In this life, let's leave it like this.
That's it, that's it.
When the old man was alive, he lost his legs.
Dead, the body is whole.
His soul has never been lacking.
……
Looking at the body of the bald dog and looking at the tombstone, Chen Yi suddenly felt that maybe his bizarre encounters and mysterious gray curtains not only gave him the ability to protect himself, maybe he could do more......
If he is capable, maybe he can help the old man fulfill his wishes,
If he had the ability, the bald dog might not have to end up in such extremes,
If he has the ability, he can find the murderer of the old man and give him justice......
That's right, the old man was killed.
Wisdom is as clear as a mirror, and if it is reflected, it can allow him to see things that are invisible to the naked eye.
The old man's last words also confirmed this.
If he is able, he can also find his missing parents......
Perhaps, I can not be so salty......
That's when ......
