Chapter 124: Farewell
"What!"
Pang Yuan was suddenly startled, and was so excited by the old village chief's words that he almost stood up directly, and a kind of anxious and uneasy emotion in his heart began to spread gradually.
His eyes were still looking at the old village chief opposite, but Pang Yuan's mind was a little trance.
Now that the conversation box has been opened and he has made up his mind, the old village chief no longer looks at him and continues to talk on his own.
"I forgot what age it is, since the death of his wife, the old man of your family has always been alone, and he has no children under his knees, and he is alone to maintain his livelihood, lonely. ”
"It's been more than ten years, and I still remember that it was a cold winter, with a cold wind and heavy snow......
The old village chief's voice was low, his expression was inexplicable, he was already immersed in the reminiscences of the previous years, and he didn't notice that in front of him, Pang Yuan's face was getting more and more gloomy.
He had a sharp mind, and he almost guessed what the old village chief's story was going to tell next.
He subconsciously wanted to say something to stop it, but his throat was hoarse, his mind was turbulent, and he didn't know what to say or do.
I can only sit in a daze.
"That evening, when Brother Pang returned from hunting, he rushed into our house with a small baby in his arms, saying that he was an abandoned baby picked up in the snow. ”
"At that time, it was freezing cold, and the baby boy stayed in the cold snow for an unknown amount of time, without food, his little face was cold, and his life was close to death. ”
"Brother Pang was anxious, and he didn't know how to take care of the baby, so he could only come to my house for help. ”
The old village chief looked a little nostalgic, and then smiled, when he was still in the prime of life, now he is dying of old age, and he is a little self-deprecating.
"It was your grandmother Li who boiled some hot soup and slowly fed the baby boy, and put on a quilt and held the poor baby boy in her arms all night, so that the child was saved. ”
Pang Yuan's face was expressionless, his eyes were deep and difficult to explore, and the fingertips hanging down on his seat couldn't stop trembling slightly, showing that he was not so calm.
I don't know how many turbulent waves are hidden in my heart.
Later, Brother Pang felt that the baby boy was pitiful, and he had no children under his knees, and he was alone and had no one to accompany him, so he discussed with me, and after asking my inner man for advice a few times, he took the abandoned baby to his own home to raise it. ”
This baby boy has no name and no surname, so Brother Pang asked him to follow his surname Pang, Brother Pang is old and has a son, the family is popular, happy and happy, and takes the meaning of reunion. ”
"Name the baby boy Yuan! Yuan, Yuanye. ”
The old village chief was solemn and said word by word.
Pang Yuan's body was shocked, his fists under his clothes were suddenly clenched, and his hard nails were almost pierced into the flesh.
The old village chief looked at the majestic young man in front of him, proud and at the same time, there was a little pity in his eyes.
"And you are the abandoned baby who was picked up on a snowy night back then!"
The answer was finally revealed, and Pang Yuan became more and more calm at the moment, slowly closing his eyes.
"This secret has been held in my heart for more than ten years, and I thought that it would continue to be buried until it was brought with me to the grave. ”
The old village chief, who has always been majestic and decisive, sighed, a little gloomy, and at this time he was a little chattering, which was different from his usual image.
"It's just that you finally decided to leave the village, the outside world is vast, I don't know when you will return, Brother Pang came to look for me during the day, and talked for a long time, he doesn't want to keep this matter from you. ”
"As for knowing the truth, what to do depends on your own wishes, after all, you are not ......"
"Enough!!"
Pang Yuan's eyes widened, his eyes were sharp, and he stood up violently, and the emotions accumulated in his heart exploded instantly.
The majestic and sturdy body fell to a large shadow on the ground, covered in blood, Pang Yuan's eyes were full of anger, and he instantly burst out, interrupting Tie Village's next words.
The old village chief could understand his mood, silently closed his mouth, and quietly looked at the fierce young man in front of him with his eyes, without blame, waiting for him to slowly calm down.
Pang Yuan, who reacted, was also a little guilty, he understood that he was too excited about what he had just done.
After taking a few deep breaths, Pang Yuan's mind slowly calmed down, and in the long thinking before, he gradually straightened out his true intentions and stopped hesitating.
"Village chief, there is no need to say any more. ”
Pang Yuan gradually regained his composure, and although his tone was gentle, his face was full of firmness.
"I was born and raised in Sri Lanka, and this is where I belong. I naturally understood that my sustenance was the whole village and the old man of my family. ”
"This is the case now, and it will not change in the future!"
After speaking, without waiting for the old village chief to respond, Pang Yuan got up and said goodbye and left, although his heart was surging, his steps to leave were extremely firm and calm.
The old village chief was silent, quietly looking at the tall back of Pang Yuan leaving, but his eyes were full of deep relief.
Not for anyone else, but for the departed youth himself.
"Brother Pang, you have a good boy..."
The night was deep.
When he returned home, Pang Yuan found that his house was still lit, and when he walked into the door, the old man Pang was silently packing up the package he was going to carry when he left.
Looking up and seeing Pang Yuan coming back, the old man glanced at him, nodded lightly, and didn't make a sound.
Pang Yuan was also a little silent, stepped forward, and silently helped clean up.
The package contained a few days' rations made of fine noodles, a few pieces of underwear, and some herbs that the old man had asked for from the village doctor Sun to treat his injuries.
In the process.
Old man Pang's eyes were a little red, and it could be seen that the complex emotions in his heart were not as calm as they appeared on the surface, he was still stubborn, he didn't say a word, he just cleaned up silently.
Pang Yuan's heart was also a little blocked, I didn't know what it was like, there was no usual communication between the two, and the atmosphere was very dull and uncomfortable.
The package was not large, and it didn't take much time to be ready.
Before leaving the house, Old Man Pang walked to the door, couldn't help but stop, coughed lightly, and had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and finally just whispered a word.
"The outside is no better than the village, everything is careful. ”
"Hmm..."
Pang Yuan was speechless for a while, silently responded, the old man nodded lightly, and walked out.
That night, there was no sleep.
Early the next morning.
The sky had just dawned, and the air was filled with a hazy white mist, drifting, and the distant scenery was faintly indistinct.
It was still the familiar location at the gate of the mountain village, where a few figures gathered and talked in whispers.
Looking closer, there are the old village chief, Uncle Lin's family, Wang Fatzi, and Aunt Fu and others, and the old man Pang and Pang Yuan, who are well packed, are also standing together.
Life has been sad since ancient times.
Everyone's hearts are a little heavy, and there are many things they want to say before parting, but they have all been said at this moment, and the superfluous words will not be repeated.
Aunt Fu watched Pang Yuan grow up, and couldn't help but hug Pang Yuan, who was already extremely strong, but found that she couldn't hold it anymore, and she was no longer the child in her impression.
Others just patted Pang Yuan on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement.
The atmosphere is a bit solemn, but Huzi is an exception.
He stepped forward and hugged Pang Yuan tightly, and the two childhood best friends were about to be separated, but he didn't have much unexpected sadness.
"Pang Yuan, you go out first to have a good time, make a career, and when I am an adult, I will leave the village and go out to join you. ”
Tong Hu said heartlessly, and agreed with Pang Yuan, his tone was full of confidence, full of vigor and vitality.
"Smack!"
Uncle Lin on the side blew his beard and glared at this time, and couldn't help but reach out and slap Huzi on the top of his head.
"I want to go out before I have practiced my skills, I want to be beautiful, you give me a good practice, stay in the village honestly, don't think nonsense all day long. ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing, Huzi rubbed his head and muttered a few words, but he didn't dare to refute.
However, such a joyful episode made the parting emotions in the crowd disperse a lot.
Pang Yuan smiled at Huzi, cleaned up his mood, picked up the bundle on his shoulder, and set off with a sturdy spear on his shoulder.
One step at a time, when he looked back, the people at the entrance of the village were still looking at him, but as Pang Yuan gradually walked away, the figure became smaller and smaller.
"Pang Yuan!!"
"Brother Huge!
Suddenly there was a loud shout at the entrance of the village, and the sound of chaotic footsteps came to mind.
The sun was shining and the mist in the air had lifted.
Pang Yuan turned back with some surprise, only to see a large group of villagers and old hunters standing at the gate of the village, and a group of half-sized young men, waving vigorously to him.
These villagers knew the news that Pang Yuan was going to leave today, and they all came to see Pang Yuan off spontaneously at this moment.
"Pang Yuan, you kid, if you want to leave the village, you won't tell us, it's too boring!"
"Pang Yuan, we're all here to see you off. ”
"Remember to come back and see everyone!"
"Brother Pang, we're here to see you off!
The shouts and blessings of the crowd were clearly in the ears, and the smiles on their faces could be clearly seen.
Pang Yuan's eyes were red, his throat was a little choked, and he also waved to everyone at the entrance of the village.
There is an indescribable emotion in his heart, and there is a warm sincere friendship flowing, which is the deep attachment and reluctance to the village where he grew up.
Not only this familiar land, but also this person!
With such a group of simple and lovely people behind him, as his firm backing, what else is Pang Yuan to fear!
No one can destroy all this that Pang Yuan cherishes.
No one!
Pang Yuan looked back again and glanced deeply, as if he wanted to imprint everything in his eyes and heart.
Turn your head.
Pang Yuan no longer has the anxiety and sorrow of Fang Cai, his mind is firm, his head is held high, and he strides forward! Please pay attention to read the latest chapter
