Chapter 71: A Broken Temple

That year, I was sixteen years old.

I left Haizhou City in a hurry, walked away from home, and finally arrived at the city of Beijing at the foot of Tianzi.

Since I was a child, I have been a naughty master, I like to dance with guns and sticks, and follow a group of young people of about the same age to fool around in this Haizhou City.

Picking quarrels and provoking trouble is a daily affair.

Fights and brawls are commonplace.

Hehe, I, Li Feilong, can have the appearance I have today, and I really want to thank the noble man I met in the capital that year.

Young and frivolous, a young man with no scruples.

At that time, in Haizhou City, how many of those Qinglou prostitution houses were there that I had not visited? !

I, Li Feilong, started visiting kilns when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, and my brother Li Feiyun, who was three years older than me, was a young man who liked to read since he was a child.

My father was a carpentry carver.

The flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and animals he carved always look so lifelike and like living creatures.

My mother was a thrifty lady with little feet.

Our family is quite rich and wealthy.

But I'm such a scumbag.

That day, I finished a drink with a group of buddies in Haizhou City.

Then I hurried alone to my house at the foot of Huaguo Mountain.

Because the day before yesterday, my mother told me that ~ my father would come home tonight.

The work of a large family in Huai County should have been done.

Half a month ago, my father asked someone to send a letter to the family~ explaining the return date.

I remember this very well. Because my father's calloused slap has never been a vegetarian.

Hehehe......

Fortunately, he always goes out to pick up work and work.

The craftsmanship is good, but there is no way!

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, word of mouth, and people always came to invite him.

Especially which family's girl is going to get married, or which family's young man is going to get married.

Those who come from good families always have to hire some carpenters to make some woodwork.

Some exquisite people have to carve some patterns and words that symbolize festivity and auspiciousness on those wooden utensils such as tables, chairs or marriage beds.

No, even from so far away in Huai County, someone will come to invite him.

Fortunately, my father is always away from home, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live every day?!

My brother has been studying since he was a child, and he has always been aiming to be able to gain fame in the future.

This old master of Haizhou City, he praised my brother back then.

Growing up, my parents also had high expectations of my brother.

Learn and excel.

There can be a scholar in the family, and a person who can read well, and a person who has a great hope of gaining fame in the future.

How important is this for a family that has been known for six or seven generations, and whose ancestors have never been officials?!

Since he was a child, my older brother Li Feiyun was valued by his parents, neighbors, and the private school gentlemen who taught him.

As for me, hehe...... I had long been appointed by my father as the inheritor of his woodcarving skills.

It's just that at that time, he still didn't have a kung fu system to train me for a while.

Yes, training.

In a year, the occasional training session has made me unbearable and unbearable.

I didn't practice well every time.

Anyway, every time I practice carving, the wood that I carved is completely capable of boiling two large pots of water.

My father would always feel very helpless about me, and every time he trained me to be like his grandson.

But my mother would always protect me silently.

Every time my father beat me, my mother didn't dare to come up and pull me, she just cried silently in the room.

But behind that, in the days after I was beaten, my mother would always change her way of cooking the meals I liked.

And if my brother happened to be at home and didn't go to the private school, my father wouldn't beat me.

Even if I could boil ten pots of water with the scrapped wood I carved, my father would not beat me.

At that time, my father was a tireless old carver, and he wholeheartedly wanted to pass on his craft to his youngest son.

He is so dedicated and tireless in teaching his youngest son who doesn't like to read over and over again.

Hehe! It's a pity, although I am the youngest son of Li Carving, I don't seem to have the talent to be a carver.

Now that I think about it, I already knew that it was just that I didn't have the perseverance and perseverance back then, and I was just greedy for fun and play all day long.

How can a young man who is not at all concerned with wood carving learn the craft of carving wood?

My life would have gone on like this.

At that time, I knew that one day I would either die on the streets in a fight, or the prodigal son would turn back and inherit my father's handiwork.

However, all this changed because of the sudden rain.

Yes, I always thought that if God hadn't gone to the rain when I had drunk and rushed home that day, I would not have gone to the ruined temple on the side of the road to hide from the rain.

Well, I wouldn't have met her.

Who knew she would be so bold as a woman?!

Oh! When I think about it, it seems that it was also the Kamitsu Festival.

Because she just left home alone and played in the Huaguo Mountain and forgot the hour, when she hurried home, she encountered the rain.

She came from Huaguo Mountain to return to her home in Haizhou City.

I came from Haizhou City to go back to my home at the foot of Huaguo Mountain.

We met in that ruined temple because of a rain.

And now, the ruined temple is long gone.

But that was the place where my Li Feilong's fate turned around.

Life was never the same.

Lonely men and widows live together in a dilapidated temple, outside with spring thunder and torrential rain.

At that time, it seemed that she approached me first, and she was the first to speak to me.

What did we start talking about?

I guess it was the weather.

Although she was standing five or six paces away from me, the faint fragrance of her body was unscrupulously penetrated into my nose with the wind that came through the hole in the broken temple door.

Later, how did I get to leap five or six paces away?

At that time, what was it that drove me to leap five or six paces away, and then punch her out and knock her unconscious.

I dragged her to the back of the Buddha statue because there was some dry straw on the ground.

It seems that some passer-by or beggar once lived there.

It was behind that Buddha statue, on that mess of straw, that I stripped her naked.

After the incident, I had been calm as if I had no emotions, but suddenly I panicked.

Perhaps, it was because I saw the scarlet bits of blood between her legs and on the straw that had become more messy.

I fled.

Outside the temple, the torrential rain was still pouring in.

After a burst of lightning, thunder rumbled and rolled all over the sky.

I didn't go home.

I panicked.

In that early spring night when the rain was pouring and the thunder and lightning were combined~ I, Li Feilong, like a water dog, fled from the boundary of Haizhou in a hurry.

Since then, it has been fifteen or sixteen years.

The past is like a cloud?!

The past is unbearable?!

The past is gone with the wind?!

However, there are always some things in the past that will not pass away with the wind, but may be somewhere, waiting for you.

When I returned to Haizhou City more than a decade later, my parents had already passed away.

My brother Li Feiyun has become an alcoholic.

And she, the one I met in the ruined temple, became my sister-in-law.

How did it all happen?!

Is there really a so-called fate in the dark?!

A rainstorm and a ruined temple later disrupted the lives of several people.

Who would have thought?!

"Yun Shengna, the reason why my uncle wants to come back to this Haizhou City is because this is my home. Fallen leaves have to return to the root after all, this is human nature. How? Shouldn't my uncle come back? Hehehe......"

Li Feilong raised his eyes slightly and looked at his nephew Li Yunsheng who was sitting opposite him.

In the study, under the flickering candlelight, Li Feilong's eyes seemed to be in a trance.
