Chapter Eighty-Seven: Feathering

Many true lies are pretending to be happy, and many lies are helpless.

Chen An didn't know if the little girl believed his lie, but he knew that he must have broken the little girl's heart.

The little girl once cried and asked, if your uncle is a fairy, can you take Yaoyao back to heaven with you?

Chen An replied, no, because only immortals can return to heaven.

That night, the little girl covered herself in the quilt and sobbed all night, while Chen An sat in the corner outside the house and lost her mind all night.

The so-called troubles of life are nothing more than twelve words.

I can't put it down, I can't think about it, I can't see through it, I can't forget it.

And these twelve words are now accounted for by Chen An.

He is a seemingly rational person, but in fact he is a sentimental person in his bones, although most of the time he maintains a rational attitude towards life, but once he is emotional, he will inevitably do something that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

It's just that his true nature is rarely exposed under the constraints of modern society, but coming to this backward society in feudalism, coupled with his extraordinary individual strength, his style of acting has become more and more arbitrary.

I'm a hero.

I'm a hero.

I have justice in my heart, I have no fear when my road is uneven.

But—

He is not a hero, let alone a hero, just an executioner with a distorted temperament because of personal selfishness.

It turns out that heroes and heroes are not so easy to be, many times what you think is right may not be right in the eyes of others, and sometimes what you think is wrong may not be really wrong.

There are two sides to everything, and attitude depends on where you stand.

But you can't just stick to your own position and ignore the other side's position.

Chen An needs a psychiatrist now, because he deeply feels that he seems to have done something wrong, but in the game, he can't see the truth behind the fog of his mind and eyes, if there is someone who can guide him out of the fog, maybe his heart will no longer be confused.

"Uncle, will you ever come back from heaven in the future?"

The next day, the little girl woke up with red eyes and asked Chen An such a sentence.

"Of course, because in addition to Yaoyao, there is another important person waiting for my uncle to go back. ”

Chen An gently stroked the little girl's head and said.

"Who is the other important person, is it more important than Yaoyao?" the little girl said.

"She is as important as Yaoyao, but she is not from Yaoyao's world. Chen An patiently explained.

"Not this world?" said the little girl, confused and confused.

"Yes, because the world is bigger than Yaoyao thought, and it is even bigger......"

In the days that followed, the little girl rarely played with the children in the village anymore, and since she knew that Chen An didn't know when she would leave, she basically pestered Chen An every day, whether it was hunting in the mountains or fishing in the river, Chen An would take her with her, and teach her some fighting and self-defense skills in her free time.

Considering the education of the little girl, he also deliberately "picked up" a family of scholars from outside.

At this moment, the Dali Dynasty can be described as stormy, and the rule of Dali has been corrupted to the point of no return, the battle of Jiangzhou, the army of 300,000 Dali was annihilated in the decisive battle with the Beiyu, and the rebel armies around the country took advantage of the situation to rise, among which Wang Dong, the leader of the victims who had rioted in Lang County, Qingzhou, suddenly captured the prefectures and counties around Cheongzhou, and proclaimed himself the governor of Cheongzhou.

The Xuanlin Mansion of Yanzhou was even more troubled by sending troops and horses to make the territory self-reliant, and even wantonly indulged soldiers to loot materials everywhere to prepare to resist the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court.

On a time of going out, Chen An happened to meet a family of refugees on the road who was looted by more than a dozen rebels, and after killing these rebels and saving the family, Chen An knew that Guping County had been occupied by the rebels sent by the Yanzhou soldiers and horses, and many families in the county fled in a hurry.

There were originally about 20 people in this family, but unfortunately most of them died under the knives of the rebels, and when Chen An arrived, there were only four people left in the family, namely a pair of brothers and sisters and their mother and grandmother.

When Chen An learned that the family was a family of poets and scholars in Guping County, and that the surviving young man was a student preparing for next year's examination, he immediately stated that he could provide a safe place for the family to live, provided that the young man became a teacher for a group of children.

The young man agreed with his mother and grandmother, and Chen An returned to the village with the family.

The young man's surname is Xu, and Chen An generally calls him Xu Sheng, he seems to be quite prejudiced against educating women, and the restless master of the little girl also doesn't like Xu Sheng's attitude of putting on a stinky face all day long, and they have had several conflicts with each other, and Chen An needs to mediate every time.

On the contrary, Xu Sheng's young sister has a good relationship with the little girl, and whenever Chen An is inconvenient to take the little girl, she will play with Xu Sheng's sister.

In order not to cause other trouble, Chen An discussed with the old people in the village, they could meet the living needs of Xu Sheng's family in the village, but Xu Sheng's family must not leave the village for half a step, in case they went out and brought back someone of unknown origin, it was inevitable that the peace of this small village would be disturbed, and there might even be a catastrophe.

Don't doubt Chen An's status in the village, a few months is enough time for him to establish a huge prestige among the villagers, especially once after he brought back a tiger and a huge wild boar in a hunt, basically the whole village was a sensation, and even the eyes of the villagers who looked at Chen An were full of reverence, and some bold and unrestrained village women once begged Chen An to plant......

After all, the more backward and barbaric the place, the more it worships the strong.

As a result, for many days, Chen An walked around the women in the village, because he really couldn't bear the fiery eyes of those women who wanted to swallow him in one bite.

In fact, the biggest change brought to Chen An by life in the mountain village is the peace of mind.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the world, it may be possible to obtain a moment of peace of mind, no wonder monks and Taoists like to practice in the deep mountains and old forests where no one disturbs.

At the very least, he can now approach every day of his life with a normal heart.

Looking back at the footprints he left in this world, it seems that there is only blood along the way.

Contradictions and conflicts occur all the time, and he is like a flat boat in the ocean, always helplessly involved in it.

He began to get used to lifting the butcher's knife to solve the problem, but finally he put down the butcher's knife and went to the countryside.

He didn't become a Buddha, but he didn't need a butcher's knife in his life.

A certain morning when winter goes to spring.

Chen An suddenly felt blessed in his heart, and had a hunch that he might be leaving.

He called a lot of people and arranged his funeral one by one.

The little girl kept hugging his thighs and crying, as if she sensed a cruel truth that she would never accept.

Subsequently, many people witnessed a miracle that they will never forget.

Chen An's body turned into stars and feathers flew up.

At the same time, it was the first time that he had left the world he had crossed with a clear consciousness.

When his body was changing, Chen An couldn't say anything, and he didn't even feel the dissipation of his body.

He looked at the little girl who was crying desperately but grabbed him with both hands, and finally opened his mouth with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in the future. ”
