Chapter 6: The Soaring Eagle (I)
"Cheng'er
When you read this letter, Dad has already left Qingshan Village and gone to a very, very distant place, and as for where to go, you don't need to know yet, you just need to know that there is your mother there. Forgive me for making this decision, I may have been wrong, but I will never regret it. The only thing I can't worry about is you.
Dad was an orphan since he was a child, and he never experienced fatherly love, and in the past eight years, you have taught me how to be a good father. If your mother were still alive, she would be very happy.
But, from today onwards, you have to learn to bear it all alone. Facing the hardships and dangers of this world alone.
You are eight years old this year, and you will be nine years old after your birthday, and your father can see every bit of what you have done in the past eight years, you are a good boy, I even think I am cruel, how can I leave you behind, but when I see your focused eyes when you carve the formation, it seems to see what I looked like when I was young, and the blood in my body boiled again.
I haven't felt this way for eight years, I just wanted to live in this village plainly, but I can't forget everything that happened before, just today when you go to send wood carvings, I am ruthless, only the strong have the right to speak in this world.
I asked you to send the wood carving, it was because I saw your lovely and obedient appearance, and I really couldn't say what I had made, so I had to find an excuse to send the wood so that you were not by my side, so that I could make my decision. ”
Yang Cheng's eyes moistened. Bite your lip tightly.
Daddy, doesn't Daddy want me?
"The letter you brought to the mayor's brother before, asking him to send it to the mayor, you should have already delivered it. You are an obedient child, and I can do everything you do well.
Haven't you been looking forward to Hantan Academy, which is famous in the city and even in the empire, and I can send you to that academy, and how you grow in the future depends on your opportunities and challenges. When you become a primordial teacher, and then become a stronger person, and have an understanding of the world, you will know the importance of the strong that Dad said.
The carving technique you have been taught before is something that will be very useful for you in the future, so be sure to make the most of it. Dad is a man with excellent carving skills.
But you also have to watch out for the many ill-intentioned people in this world, and stay away from them.
Be sure to take care of your safety in the long days ahead.
The young eagles under the blue sky will eventually grow.
If there is fate, our family of three can be reunited.
Daddy loves you. ”
After reading the letter, flames erupted from the bottom of the letter and gradually devoured the letter. Yang Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to cry bitterly, even if the fire burned Yang Cheng's hand, he clutched the letter paper tightly. It's just that the temperature of this flame is very low, and it doesn't give Mrs. Yang Cheng a sense of pain.
The letter paper in his hand turned into fly ash and gradually dissipated.
The three of Nangong Ge on the side looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
From the beginning, when Uncle Ping pointed out the letter on the table, a bad premonition arose, and as Yang Cheng's mood fluctuated more and more, coupled with the letter from Yang Dao, the purple light carving array master, to Nangong Ge, he roughly guessed what was going on.
Nangong Ge and his party did not come forward to disturb Yang Cheng, although the little guy is very smart, but after all, he is just a child who is about to be seven years old, and there is no child who does not cry for sad things. Crying is the best way to vent your inner emotions.
Yang Cheng was still holding a wisp of fly ash in his hand, as if holding the fly ash was like holding his father's hand.
This cry, I don't know how long it took, Yang Cheng changed from howling to sobbing.
Nangong Ge silently walked towards Yang Cheng and said:
"Don't cry, little one, can you tell us why you're crying? ”
"Dad doesn't want me anymore!" these six words made everyone present stunned.
Yang Cheng said to himself:
"Dad said he was going to Mom and let me... I went to study at Hantan College and became... A strong man, and he wants me... Practice well before he taught me... How to go to carve. ”
"Then you tell Uncle Nangong Ge, where is your mother?"
"I.... I hadn't seen my mom since I was a kid, and I asked where my mom and dad were, and dad... Dad always said that Mom died after I was born. ”
Nangong Ze stood up abruptly and said in surprise:
"It's not like it's my own shortcomings, it's impossible. It is impossible for a carving array master not to know that people cannot be resurrected when they die, how can they kill themselves. What does it mean to go to his mother..."
Nangong Ge waved his hand and interrupted Nangong Ze's words.
"Your father asked you to come to study at Handan Academy?" Nangong Ge helped Yang Cheng wipe his tears.
Yang Cheng nodded.
It seems that this is the great favor of the carver master. Nangong Ge sighed.
Nangong Ge gave a general explanation of the letter given by Yang Dao before.
"Uncle told you about the letter your father wrote to your uncle before.
Your father said that if he was not there that day, he hoped that I would help you if necessary, but I didn't expect this day to be so soon. This badge is the guarantee of this favor.
As for entering Handan Academy, I think there is no problem, Uncle Ping is the teacher of Handan Academy. But whether you can enter the academy or not, you have to test, after all, the rules cannot be broken, but my uncle believes that with your intelligence, there is no problem in entering the academy. ”
Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at Uncle Ping at this time.
This inconspicuous old man turned out to be a teacher at Handan Academy.
When Yang Cheng's emotions gradually calmed down, Uncle Ping came over and patted Yang Cheng and looked at him with kind eyes:
"It seems that this carver is very affectionate.
Although I don't know where your father has gone, a powerful carver will never die easily, and your father is right, when you become powerful, you may have the opportunity to meet your father. Soon Hantan Academy will have a new season of admissions, and I hope to see you in school. ”
"Alas, little guy, now you sort out the things you want to take, say goodbye to the person you want to say goodbye to, and go to Uncle Nangong Ze's house to live tomorrow. It was Nangong Ze who spoke.
"Okay, Uncle Nangong Ze, I'll be fine soon. After saying that, Yang Cheng turned around and walked towards the room, he knew that the only people he could rely on now were the three people present.
Uncle Ping looked at Yang Cheng's gaze with a little more approval. Although Yang Cheng's eyes are still red, Yang Chengcai is about to turn seven years old, and he has a calmness that is different from this age.
Yang Cheng washed his face, found Uncle Yang Ming to say goodbye, and said that he and his father were going to study at Handan College. Climb aboard the carriage and drive across the Toyogi Bridge.
Looking back at the cabin and the village where he had lived for eight years.
A group of four people drove towards Nangong Sazawa's house.
