Chapter 7: Before the Magnificent Waves (Part II)
Speaking of this, Xiao Chengqian glanced at me and asked me with a smile: "Have you heard this more than once?" Do you think it's amazing every time you hear it? ”
"It's that every time I hear it, I feel sad." I took a cigarette in my mouth, looked at the warm sun at this time, the slightly swaying bamboo leaves, a little bit of sunlight, and simply lay down on this flat boulder, everything at this time is so peaceful and beautiful, but without going through the storm, how can you appreciate its preciousness?
"Sad?" Xiao Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't quite understand my emotions.
"yes, sad." I lay on top of the flat boulder, and the sun shone into my eyes, so I couldn't help but close my eyes slightly, and then said, "You and I are both Taoists, haven't you heard a saying?" Is it only when the body is particularly weak, as in the midst of a serious illness or when the will belonging to the individual is particularly weak, that the senses of the soul are extraordinarily acute? Hui Gen'er, this kid doesn't belong to people with strong spiritual sense, what do you say about his sudden feeling? Oh can only show that he was in that situation at that time has reached his limit, too rigid and easy to break, it's Huigen'er, this kid. ”
My tone at the moment is flat, but the sad mood is not dull Hui Gen'er was extremely cute when she was a child, but this cuteness is just the appearance, in his bones this child is the kind of jade broken, not a typical tile, in Lu Fanming's basement, the moment he dialed out the ring knife, it was already a vivid display of this rigidity.
Xiao Chengqian was silent, and he didn't know how long it took before he spoke: "At that time, when Hui Gen'er said this, she was so sure, and her tone was instantly sober, not like muttering nonsense, but no one believed it. It may be that despair has been a little long, and hope is just an instinctive waiting for us, and when it really comes, it feels like comfort and vanity for a while. Not only me, but everyone also thinks that Huigen'er has burned to the ground, and it is even more sad, I remember that at that time, Ruyue leaned against the wall, forced herself not to cry, and bit her lower lip. ”
"Of course, someone stopped me from carrying Hui Gen'er out of the confinement room, and at that moment, everyone seemed to go crazy. Can you imagine? A group of cultivators in heavy shackles, like street thugs fighting, I can't describe the chaos at that time, the few guys guarding the confinement room were almost killed, fortunately, it was inevitable that at that time, there was no so-called old monster to stop except for Tao Bai, and a group of us just got out of the confinement room. The wind and snow outside were very strong, blowing people's eyes, and everyone protected me in the middle, because I surrounded us with the people from Huigen'er's holy village on my back, but they were just ordinary people, and the cultivators didn't know where they went. But they didn't dare to rush forward, I think our lunatic look scared them? When Xiao Chengqian talked about this past, his tone had returned to calm a little, but in the wind and snow, that kind of tragic and desolate scene seemed to be right in front of my eyes.
made up his mind to save Huigen'er, in fact, isn't it also a kind of will that has made up his mind, even if he dies this time? What the consequences are, everyone knows it, including the exchange that Xiao Chengqian said at the beginning, which is also a consequence.
He didn't say much, but I know what it means.
"We walked in the holy village step by step, without thinking too much at that time, just to find a warm room for Huigen'er to rest there, and then go to find medicine, find something nutritious for Huigen'er to eat. You know, in the days of confinement, those old monsters deliberately let them eat 'pig food', and the terrible thing is that they can't eat enough even 'pig food'! There were more and more people around us, and when we were about to enter the village, we didn't know who started to agitate, and those people were going to do something to us, and the so-called 'village officials' in the village had already rushed to the inner village, probably to 'complain'. I thought that at that time, the rest was just desperate, and I was actually ready to wait for you. But" A smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Chengqian's face.
I also laughed, I have heard this paragraph many times, and I can't help but say, "But, my master and they appeared, right?" ”
"Yes, they appeared! The first thing I heard was Uncle Hui's voice, and he shouted, 'What are those people doing there?' What about my apprentice? After all, I didn't have much contact with Uncle Hui before, and I wasn't familiar with his voice, and he shouted it out in official dialect, not using his Shaanxi accent, so I remember that Hui Gen'er, who had been lying on my back in a drowsy state, suddenly twisted his body a few times, as if he was about to break free and jump to the ground, but he had no strength, and I began to hear him muttering, 'Master, isn't Master coming?' Then streams of tears fell on my neck, it was very hot, and it was very cold when it was blown by the wind. "It's a very uncomfortable emotion, but it makes people want to laugh and cry when they hear it.
It's like it's been dark for too long, and the first rays of sunlight finally shine on the faces of people who have traveled thousands of miles in pursuit of it, what other expression can there be than laughing and crying?
"I was confused, but there were many people who were more sober than me, I saw Chengxin walking in front of me suddenly knelt on the ground, hammered in the snow, shouted 'Oh my God', and suddenly cried silently, I saw Chengqing standing next to me suddenly looking at the sky, I wanted to keep calm, but the tears on my face kept flowing, I saw Chengqian covering his mouth, and Chengzhen hugged her behind him, wanting to comfort, two people" Xiao Chengqian's voice suddenly choked up, and some couldn't go on.
"In short, I'm very messy, in the flying snow, I can't see everyone clearly, but I suddenly have a hint of enlightenment, I'm afraid I've waited for a long time, I've been looking for a long time at this moment, and the sky is finally bright, right? I couldn't help it, I could barely carry Hui Gen'er, I just felt my whole body tremble, and even my whole body was weak, I heard the sound of screams coming from the crowd, and I saw that at the edge of the surrounding crowd, there were figures constantly falling, or being exaggeratedly thrown up and down, and then people got out of the way, and they were afraid to get out of the way, and I saw a naked man with his upper body standing in the front. When Xiao Chengqian said this, he suddenly couldn't help but pretend to wipe his face inadvertently.
That's tears, right? Tears stimulated by deep memories that cannot be forgotten and deep emotions that cannot be replicated, right?
I just didn't see it, at this time, men always need to save a little face, I am, and so does Xiao Chengqian.
After calming down for a while, Xiao Chengqian continued: "That man is my eighth uncle, you know, Xiao Laoba!" Because we have a special lineage, the surname Wu and the surname Xiao have been intermarried for a long time, plus there are several other families, but they are not as high as our two clans in this lineage, so the name is also messy, don't care. ”
The family inheritance is like this, it is particularly messy, and unlike the secular family, the family of the cultivator also pays attention to talent, so it doesn't matter if it is necessarily an orthodox surname Wu, as long as it is a bloodline.
I shook my head, indicating that I didn't care, and Xiao Chengqian continued: "At that time, you know what? When I saw the eighth uncle, I almost went crazy, Hui Gen'er was originally on my back, and I accidentally fell to the ground, I subconsciously wanted to pick up Hui Gen'er, but I half-knelt on the ground, looked at my eighth uncle, screamed and couldn't move anymore, at that moment, except for the snowflakes one by one, I couldn't see anything clearly, I didn't cry, I just couldn't see clearly, right? ”
Xiao Chengqian smiled when he said this, whether he cried or not is not really important, who will ask?
It may be that he himself thinks that such a cover-up may be too far-fetched, and he can't help but smile and say: "However, before my eighth uncle could say anything, he was suddenly pushed aside, and then I saw Uncle Hui, who stared at Hui Gen'er deadly, and suddenly shouted angrily at the crowd, 'Who made my apprentice look like this?' Chengyi, have you seen it with your own eyes, Uncle Hui at that time was extremely terrifying, the continuous anger seemed to burn to the sky, and no one present dared to speak. ”
In fact, I don't have to see it to know what kind of anger Uncle Hui will be at that moment, and I also know what shocking consequences this anger will cause to people!
I continued to laugh and listen, this kind of regret of not being able to experience it made me hear this thing a hundred times, and I won't get tired of it!
"But then, as soon as Uncle Hui's words spoke, I felt a gust of wind as if it was rushing in front of me, and before I could react, I was held tightly in my arms, I didn't look up at that time, yes, I actually cried, because I didn't have to look up, I also knew that it was my grandfather, I was the most talented one in the family when I was a child, so my grandfather loved me very much, and my youngest years were almost spent in his arms, because he especially liked to hold me in his arms. You say, how can I forget the feeling of such a bosom? How could I have been so uncalm at the time? Actually, I was thinking very calmly, well, my grandfather is back. However, I just can't help crying, and I don't know what's wrong? I thought there would be a thousand words for the reunion, but I just heard my grandfather say, Cheng Qian, you have lost some weight, but when you come out of the family, your life is not good? When Xiao Chengqian said this, his eyes had become red.
In fact, where is the need for a thousand words? Just like when I said goodbye to Master, the way he expressed his thoughts about me was by kicking me in the ass a few times and then scolding me a few times.
There are no too many excited thoughts in my heart, and the only words that echo in my mind repeatedly are only two words-Master!
There is no need for Xiao Chengqian to tell the rest at all, and I also know a few sentences of dialogue, because I have heard it many times.
Hui Gen'er was picked up by Uncle Hui, and in a daze, Hui Gen'er shouted: "Master, you are here, but your forehead seems to be sick." ”
And Uncle Hui said: "You're back, you must have eaten less eggs, why can't you have bones in this body?" ”
As for Brother Chengxin, he was helped up by Uncle Chen, who was usually so 'poisonous', because he seemed to be 'sharp', he actually said to Uncle Chen at that time: "Master, my glasses fell to the ground." ”
Uncle Chen said, "Master is here, you can pick up glasses later, so that Master can take a good look at you." ”
"But I can't see you clearly without glasses." After saying this, Brother Chengxin began to cry very unimaged, you know, he has always been an elegant spring breeze man.
As for Cheng Zhen and Cheng Yuan, they were pulled apart by Uncle Wang one by one, and he said, "Are you crying for me? Haven't I died yet? ”
Poor two little girls, they couldn't say a word in the face of such a scoreless Uncle Wang.
Ruyue threw herself into Grandma Ling Qing's arms, she had more words, after all, Ruxue had already been left alone in the Dragon Tomb at that time, but in the end, she only said one sentence: "Grandma, I'm so bitter." ”
"It's okay, grandma is back." Grandma Ling Qing touched Ruyue's long hair, just said this very briefly, and then hugged Ruyue tightly in her arms.
The reunion at that moment is eternal, and in the scene of such a reunion, the last sentence was that my master stood up and said: "Let's go, you people, leave if you can get out of here, if you are obsessed and want to stop us, don't blame my subordinates for showing no mercy to my apprentice, my life is still on the verge of dying, I really don't have the mood to say more reason to you!" ”
Yes, at that time, I was still in danger of my life, and Master stood up like this!
The next thing doesn't need to be elaborated on at all, with the fall of the gods, the old monsters in the holy village have no combat power at all, and where are these ordinary people or ordinary cultivators who are the opponents of my master and his group?!
Therefore, after rescuing Tao Bai, everything escaped smoothly from the holy village and hurried day and night, and returned to the bamboo forest building.
After recalling the past again and again, Xiao Chengqian suddenly said to me: "Now that I hear all this, do you feel that happiness is not easy to come by, and getting together is even more rare?" ”
"If this is not the case, why is it possible for everyone, whether it be the elders or our younger generation, to never mention the past? Because happiness is quiet, and when it comes, I prefer pure happiness, it's not an escape, I'm just, no, everyone just wants pure happiness for some time. I said calmly, with a smile on my lips.
But Xiao Chengqian sighed and said, "Yes, that's the case." However, I am afraid that the peaceful happiness is coming to an end. ”
