Chapter 66: Another Mysterious Old Man
The cold wind rose, blowing the leaves of the Black Forest, all the leaves fell, the moon shadow was heavy, shining on the gravel, the white mist dispersed, and another old man stood there, dressed in white, with a black beard, his brows furrowed, and he did not dare to look directly.
Silently playing with the water, hearing this movement, his heart suddenly floated, his mouth opened unconsciously, he put down his work, poked his head out, and looked at the old man looking at him with cold eyes.
Knowing that he couldn't hide, it was better to go out and face all this, gritted his teeth, or went out, looked at the old man in white, and called softly: "Master." ”
"Do you still know that I am your master? You really have the ability, and after so many years of coming out, do you think I can't find you?" or have you long forgotten who you are?" the old man said sharply, not at all like the old man should have a pleasant face, which was not at all like the old man in black clothes.
After a long time, Mo raised his head lightly and met his eyes, after so long, he was no longer afraid of this look, for him, now that he was doing well, he didn't have to go back to face those problems that didn't belong to him.
Mo walked over and stood in front of him, now Mo is taller than him, this old man in white has just seen clearly in a trance, Mo has grown up after all, and he has grown up very well.
"I'm fine here. Mo showed a smile, although it was a faint smile, but it was also for the old man, and he himself knew that although the master was usually very fierce, but it was also for his own good, if the master, I am afraid that he would not be so good as he is now.
The old man waved his sleeves, snorted coldly and turned away, looking particularly angry, and said in a loud voice: "You are fine here? Have you ever thought about how worried everyone is when you sneak out by yourself? Do you think you can hide it?"
"I've never thought about hiding myself, it's just, I'm here, it's good, I'm willing to stay here forever, so master, you should have no apprentice like me. ”
Hearing his rebellious words, the old man became even more angry, preferring that he didn't accept this apprentice, he was the most talented one, but he was not satisfied with the status quo, and he was destined not to be there.
The old man said, "I will kill you today, lest you cause trouble for us in the future, and when the time comes, it will not be as simple as abolishing you!"
Mo didn't dodge, but closed his eyes and faced all this calmly. Since this is destined, since he can't escape, then he won't do useless struggles, this is also a relief, he has waited for so long, and gradually forgot himself, forgot what to wait for, maybe only by leaving, will he really let go of those things that he can't let go of in his heart.
It's true that his hand is clapped up, Mo can't believe it, his master actually did it, but he thinks it's okay.
The strange thing is that after the photograph is taken, he can still think, he can still open his eyes.
Mo stared at the old man in disbelief, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Master, master...... You?"
The old man sighed, and finally showed a smile on his serious face, which did not match him, but it was indeed a particularly ugly smile.
The old man looked at the bright moon in the sky that was about to disappear, and instead of the bright moon that was about to rise, he exhaled: "It's really a good place, but although this place is good, it has left too much blood, and too much beauty has died here." ”
"Master, why are you?" Mo was still struggling with why the master didn't shoot himself to death just now, and asked without giving up.
The old man stretched out his hand and picked up a leaf: "I can't kill you at all, even if I go down in one palm, it will be the same result, such a result, more than ten years ago, I already knew." ”
"Why? I knew more than ten years ago? I took me in more than ten years ago, don't you ......?"
"That's right, more than ten years ago, I wanted to kill you, but I didn't have the ability, so I could only accept you as an apprentice and see you in front of me. While talking about the past, he shook his head: "You left right, not at all." ”
After finishing speaking, the old man was about to leave, and now, the sun had risen, and when the sun shone down, there was a touch of blush on Mo Pan's white face.
Seeing that the person was leaving, he frowned silently, and watched him leave indifferently, thinking in his heart that probably by now, they will no longer be masters and apprentices in the future, and he said this just to leave more happily, although what he said was true.
At this moment, the old urchin, the old man, stretched his waist, staggered out of it, slowly walked around a row of trees, walked out, looked at the two people in front of him, took a sip of water indifferently, and then sat on the stake and smiled.
Hearing this familiar laughter, the old man turned his head and looked at him, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over and shouted, "Master, master!
"Haha, I'm not dead yet? Why, do you want me to die so early? I'll tell you, no way!" said the old man, the old urchin, while taking a pork knuckle out of Mo's room, and said while eating: "Look at you for almost twenty years, you still have the same temper, not like me at all, hey, don't call me master." ”
The old man hurried over and said, "Master's words, yes, I was too excited. ”
"Hmph, it's good to know you're excited. When I handed Xiao Mo over to you back then, I didn't let you kill him, not to mention that if I wanted to kill him, would I still hand it over to you?" The old man took a big bite of the pig's elbow, wiped his mouth, and knocked him heavily on the head.
At this time, Mo was already stunned, what master apprentice, he felt that his brain was not enough, obviously he was his apprentice, but he became the apprentice of this old naughty boy, so to speak, the old man who had lived with him for six years was undoubtedly his master?
Listening to his conversation quietly, he just noticed that he was brought by this old man, so he should know who he is.
Mo ran over and snatched his pork knuckle, his eyes flashed, as if full of infinite hope, and asked excitedly: "Old man, you just said that I was brought by you, right?"
The old man covered his mouth, coughed twice, then smiled awkwardly, and said, "What? What are you that I brought you, this child, you won't be scared silly." Hehe. After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to ask for the pork knuckle: "You give me back the things, how can you not let people eat in the morning?"
"Don't give me a sloppy look! I just listened, tell me...... Who am I? Who am I? Where did you pick me up? Who are my parents?"
The old man looked at him, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart, but not too many people were allowed to know about this matter, and now he was forced to ask, which was really a problem.
Suddenly, the old man slapped the old man at once, and everyone was shocked, and the old man said: "It's all you! What are you doing here! He is willing to wait here, just wait, what do you say you are going to mix?"
The old man was stunned, he didn't expect that he was a lot older, and he was also beaten by his own master, and he was a little aggrieved, and he didn't know how to speak: "I...... I was wrong. ”
Then the old man smiled and said to Mo: "Look at you, your master admitted his mistake, you give me my pork knuckle, you see you don't eat him if you take it......"
In the end, Mo still gave the old man something, and didn't ask anything more, he was full of doubts, but no one could untie it for him, Mo didn't know what they were hiding, probably part of it was to protect himself, but if he didn't know about it, he would never know who he was.
Silently watching the old man leave, their master-apprentice relationship ended here, slowly, he lost himself, and he lost his way, life seemed to have never begun, and there was no end to it.
Watching the old man silently eating pork knuckle, he felt for a moment that in fact, it doesn't matter if he knows or doesn't know some things, at least he is very good now, maybe it will be better in the future, and it will go on like this, which is not bad.
Seeing him distracted, the old man stopped his mouth movements, put the pig's knuckle aside, then clapped his hands, wiped his hands, stood up and said to him: "You have a stomach full of questions, why don't you choose to ask?"
"If I asked, would you tell me?"
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Mo smiled, looked at him and said, "It's okay anymore, anyway, I didn't know it from the beginning, and I'm used to it, it doesn't matter if you say it or not." ”
"You're the most thoughtful person I've ever met, and I've been hiding this from you, but I think you need to know about you. The old man put away his uncharacteristically hippie smile and became serious.
Mo is still a little uncomfortable, but looking at him like this, there is a feeling that something too big will happen?
Then, the old man said: "Maybe you were born extraordinary, I thought you would be an evil child at the bottom of my heart, but you showed me your kindness, so I left you and let you learn with the three flavors, and if you learn to face everything around you calmly, it seems that now the effect is good, which has a lot to do with you." ”
"Why am I born extraordinary, why am I evil? I, who am I? Why can't he kill me, master?"
The old man touched his beard and said, "Because everyone thinks so...... But you're not, good boy. The old man patted him on the shoulder, and walked back into the house.
Mo didn't follow, and asked in the back, "Who are my parents, who am I waiting for here, and what is my name!"
"Your parents call you Minghao, you commemorate their unforgettable, at the same time, they also want you, in the vast world, carefree, no resentment, obviously, you inherit the name they give you expectations. ”
I don't know why the old man knows this, and then ask the others, the old man doesn't speak, silently calling his name, and it seems that some memories are slowly becoming cleared.
But only for a moment, if he thought deeply, the memory became more and more blurred, he knew that he was going to protect someone, who that person was he forgot to be, but he believed that as long as he waited here, that person would appear.
