Chapter 4 Back Mountain

I saw that what he was looking for in front of him was not what he thought in his heart, even if it was magnificent, quiet and mysterious, or there was something inside, there was no cave, he had thought about it in his heart, but everything in front of him really made him a little dumbfounded.

In the distance, there is an endless overgrown weed, and in the middle of this boundless weed, there is a small grass hut that can no longer be broken. In the distance, a faint grave flickered in the sky.

On the edge of the grave, a vague black shadow swayed somewhere.

He looked at his father with some doubts, could it be that this was the forbidden place of the family? Even some simple secret passages were abrupt here, could it be that everything in front of him was just a trick?

Yes, after all, it is a family powerhouse, and it shouldn't be defenseless at all. But as I got closer, I realized that the surroundings were still the same, and they were still clumped with weeds.

It's just that the blurred black shadow in the distance is getting clearer, and directly in front of the black shadow is a large tomb, and behind the big grave there are countless small tombs lined up one after another, and it is endless.

Closer, it turned out to be an old man. I saw Qin Wuqing walking quickly behind the old man, standing respectfully behind the old man, not daring to step forward to disturb him at all.

Qin Xiangyan also pulled his sister forward quickly, and secretly glanced next to his father, but saw his father hand over a silent look, and then turned his head. Qin Xiangyan quietly gave his sister another look, and lowered his head like a father, but his eyes looked at the old man in front of him from time to time.

I saw the old man bent over his waist, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, holding a large bowl in his hand, scooping a bowl of fragrant wine from the big wooden barrel next to him from time to time, and slowly scattering it around the grave.

A pair of big feet with a fan is wearing nothing, the old age spots all over the feet indicate that the old man is dying, wearing a pair of tattered pants on his legs, a patched shirt on his upper body, and a messy hair, which is no longer enough to describe as a chicken coop.

The old man slowly paced around the grave, and kept saying in his mouth: "Big Strong, Second Strong, Third Strong, Old Ninth。。。。。。 It's a new day, the eldest brother who is still breathing has come to toast you again, it was the eldest brother who couldn't stand you, and he didn't even let the brothers drink enough when he died, but now everything is good, let you drink enough。。。。。。

The old man kept telling Qin Xiangyan what he didn't understand, but there was unspeakable sadness in his words.

Qin Xiangyan secretly glanced at his father, and saw hatred, sadness, and helplessness in his father's eyes。。。。。。 All kinds of complex emotions kept flashing in his eyes, making Qin Xiangyan want to ask but didn't dare to ask.

After a long time, suddenly the old man stopped muttering to himself, and said without a head: "Have you decided?"

Then I heard my father answer: "It's decided, please give me a talisman."

The old man slowly glanced up at the sky, and then hobbled towards the small grass hut.

At this time, he saw Qin Wuqing kneeling down in front of the grave suddenly, and then turned his head to look at Qin Xiangyan and said, "Xiangyan, Xiangyu, kneel!"

Qin Xiangyan hurriedly pulled his sister to her knees in front of the grave, at a loss.

Qin Wuqing looked at the endless grave in front of him, and said slowly: "Uncles and uncles, all the soldiers of the empire, Qin Wuqing, a descendant of the emperor, has come to see you, my unfortunate son has caused a lot of trouble for the family, but all the mistakes are my fault, I can't educate him, I hope you don't blame him for being young and ignorant." I came this time, firstly, to pay homage to you, and secondly, I hope that you will have a spirit in heaven, bless my unassuming son, and hope that he can return safely!"

"Kowtow to the ancestors and soldiers"

Qin Xiangyan kowtowed respectfully three times, looking at the endless tombstones in front of him, his heart was very heavy, he knew that everything in his family now was exchanged for the accumulated white bones in front of him, without them, the Qin family would no longer exist.

Turning his head to look at his sister, he saw that his little face was tense, his face was serious, and there was a red mark on his forehead, which showed how hard he knocked just now.

"Get up, remember all this in front of you, for my father, I hope that you will never forget these soldiers who have shed blood and sacrificed for their families in the future, without them there would be no us!

"Yes, father!" Qin Xiangyan and his sister glanced at each other, slowly stood up, and said in unison.

After a while, the old man slowly walked out of the house, holding in his hand a paper talisman that had been yellowed for an unknown number of years. When he got in front of his father, he slowly raised his head. Then.

Qin Xiangyan only saw the old man's face that had been corroded by the ruthless years at this time. It seems that it can no longer be called a "face", and it seems that only a dry old bark can be seen on the face.

"Take it, don't come in again if it's okay in the future, and besides, uncover this talisman at the moment of life and death. ”

The old man turned his head slowly, but he didn't even glance at him and his sister from beginning to end, and when he spoke, Qin Xiangyan didn't even see the old man's mouth moving.

Could it be the legendary ventriloquish? Qin Xiangyan looked at his father with a puzzled expression, but saw his father say respectfully: "Okay, thank you Elder Sun."

After saying that, he gave Qin Xiangyan a look and slowly turned his head. Qin Xiangyan took his sister's hand and walked behind his father.

I had just walked a short distance, but I suddenly heard Sun Lao say behind me, "Slow!"

Qin Xiangyan saw his father's body stiffen suddenly, and slowly turned his head: "Old Sun, what else do you have to order." ”

"Let that little boy come here," Mr. Sun said slowly.

"Yes, in other words, it's not over yet. Qin Wuqing said.

Qin Xiangyan walked forward silently and looked at the lonely old man in front of him.

The mottling of the years has made the old man's face full of countless wrinkles, it seems that every deep texture is an unforgettable story, Qin Xiangyan doesn't know what the old man in front of him has experienced, but his intuition tells him that the old man in front of him is really unfathomable.

"Child, I already know everything, I'm sorry for you!" The old man stretched out his big yellow hand, slowly stroked Qin Xiangyan's head, and looked ahead without focus, it seemed that this old man who was dying also had a past in his heart that was not enough for outsiders.

"Let's go, don't come again. ”

Sun Lao's weather-beaten voice came slowly, and then he staggered towards the thatched hut that was about to collapse.

"Old Sun, take care of your body!" Qin Wuqing looked at the old man in the distance, his voice was a little sighing and a little nostalgic. Sun Lao didn't answer, and when the figure was about to disappear, a sigh seemed to come from the sky

"Who will accompany you in the battle of your life? It is not my wish to leave a name for eternity, and everyone in Hongchen will return!"

Qin Wuqing was stunned, sighed, and said, "Let's go." ”

Qin Xiangyan and his sister followed behind, looking at his father who was walking in front, he suddenly felt that his father's figure was a little blurry at this time, and he couldn't see it clearly, although he didn't know what Sun Lao gave him, but in such a noble old man in the family, it must be very extraordinary.

And the old man also said that if he opens it at the time of life and death, he can obviously save his life when he is at stake. He never imagined that his father would hand it over to him before he left, even if he knew in his heart that his son might be gone forever.

"Yan'er, I don't know how dangerous this journey is, my father can't help you anything, since your words have been spoken, then go and finish it, as a man of the Qin family, whether he is uneducated or not, what he should do, and the person who should be protected, he must do his best to protect, whether it is now or in the future. At the door of the family's important land, Qin Wuqing stopped and stood and slowly spoke.

Qin Xiangyan raised his head, looked at his father in front of him and nodded: "Yes, father, the child knows!"

"But, father, my brother's strength is not as good as mine, why don't I replace my brother!" Qin Xiangyu grabbed the corner of his pink clothes with both hands, his eyes were uneasy. Qin Wuqing raised his head violently and shouted: "Shut up! You may take back what you said as an ancient master? Since your brother is reckless to bear all this, then even if he breaks his teeth, he will swallow it in his stomach! You still pray that your brother can return safely." With that, he turned his head and walked away quickly, never looking back.
