Chapter Twenty-Seven: Jade Felt, Liu Gaoneng's Heart Knot
It wasn't until later, when the people of Su Mansion discovered this place, that they knew about Su Tao's self-slaughter of Wushan. Su Quan regretted it a lot, he knew that he couldn't tell Luo Chong about his daughter's whereabouts if he said anything, but now it's too late to regret it. Su Quan felt very guilty about Liu Gaoneng, and sent someone to bring Liu Gaoneng three meals every day, but Liu Gaoneng didn't pay attention to it at all.
For three days, he kept holding Su Tao and was silent in his memories. Three days later, he buried Su Tao, guarded her tomb, and refused to leave.
Liu Gaoneng didn't eat a bite of the food sent by the Su family, but every time he sent wine, Liu Gaoneng would drink it all. Therefore, Su Quan thought of a way to soak rice with wine, and sure enough, under such circumstances, Liu Gaooneng finally ate it.
This gift has been 7 years, Liu Gaoneng has been staying on Wushan, and has become a savage worthy of the name.
During this period, Su Quan's son, Su Qing also returned, and after knowing the reason for the incident, he was very sad that he had lost his sister, and he couldn't help admiring Liu Gaoneng's infatuation. Su Qing went up the mountain many times to persuade him, but he returned in vain. Su Quan at home has been living in self-blame.
Although the Su family knew that it was the Luo family who killed Su Tao, they had nothing to do. The Luo family is very powerful in Yunshui City, and it is not comparable to a small family like them at all.
This is Liu Gaoneng's seventh year in Wushan, covered in mud, and he really doesn't look like a person if he doesn't look carefully. In his hand, he was holding the love token that Su Tao gave him before his death, the jade hair felt. Although he was dirty, the felt was surprisingly clean, and Liu Gaoneng scrubbed it with rain every day.
Today, Liu Gaooneng took it out and wiped it again. Just as I was rubbing, suddenly, the piece of jade that felt fell off. I didn't expect this felt to be able to unscrew it, after Liu Gaoneng wiped it every day, although he didn't twist it, but over time, it fell off by itself.
Liu Gaoneng observed the jade and found that it was hollow inside, and there was a note inside. He immediately took it out and opened the note, which was Su Tao's handwritten letter:
"Gao Neng, my life has started to change since I met you. I don't know if you are an angel sent from heaven or not, but every unforgettable life experience I have has had is related to you. ”
"The most fortunate thing in my life is 'I like him, and he likes me'. I know that you have always loved me, and you are willing to stay in Su Mansion for my sake. For my sake, you're willing to change your habit of not having a sweet tooth. For my sake, you are willing to risk your life to pick snow lotus for me. During this time, I understood what people mean by happiness, and meeting you is a blessing that I have cultivated all my life. However, today I may be going to be the one who is sorry for you. The Luo family is too powerful, and my father has already promised me to marry him. ”
"If it was before, I might still be happy, because I can leave Su Mansion and go to a bigger place. But now that I have you, it is impossible for me to marry Luo Gongzi again. Because I have been your person all my life, so I am highly energetic, and I decided that I would kill myself on the road on the day I got married. Daddy won't let me out, and I won't even see you for the last time. ”
"Gao Neng, if you see this letter, please don't be sad, this may be my fate. I have always been proud to have met you, because I didn't come to this world for nothing, and I can feel so much beauty!"
It turned out that on the day Luo Chong went to Sufu to propose, Su Tao had already written the letter. Later, there was a robbery, so the letter was hidden by Su Tao. Unexpectedly, Luo Chong came again. Su Tao faintly felt that something was about to happen, so he put his letter in the jade felt and handed it over to Liu Gaoneng.
After Liu Gaoneng read the letter, he had already become a tearful person. He never knew the weakness and powerlessness of a little woman, but he still failed to protect her.
However, this time, he finally came out of the shadow of killing Su Tao. After going down the mountain, he had nowhere to go, and then he went to a small village, lived the life of an ordinary person, and in the end, became the head of the village!
Back in Su Mansion, Liu Gaoneng chatted with Su Quan about the past, and all kinds of previous experiences seemed to appear in front of him again.
I was deeply shocked by Liu Gaoneng's experience! I didn't expect Liu Gaoneng, who is usually humorous and lazy, to have such a bleak past.
For a moment, I was full of emotion. In fact, Liu Gaoneng's talent is also nothing to say, if he hadn't experienced these ups and downs at that time, maybe he would have continued to follow the path of a cultivator and returned to the Huayuan. With the resources of Huayuan, a powerful ice archmage will be born.
But his whole life has been invested in a beloved girl, and losing Su Tao is like losing the meaning of life. It is impossible for a cultivator without faith to achieve anything.
Su Tao's departure became a demon in Liu Gaoneng's cultivation path, and from beginning to end, he couldn't let it go. I lamented the dramatic fate of Liu Gaoneng's life, and I also hated the Luo family who killed Su Tao. Although I don't know anything about this Luo family, if I really meet it in the future, I must vent this evil breath for Daddy Liu. Old man Liu is now one of the most important people in my Wu Tian's family. Family feuds must never be forgotten!
Liu Gaooneng looked very flat at this time, and his emotions were not fluctuating by the personnel influence he narrated, as if he was talking about other people's experiences. What he exchanged for the passing years is the current heart, and now he is just an old village chief in a small village.
Su Quan knew about what had happened over the years, and listened to Liu Gaoneng tell the whole story. He seemed to have returned to the past, as if he saw the scene where he forced his daughter to get married, and when he saw the helplessness in his daughter's eyes, he lost his voice and became painful again.
After Su Quan finished venting his excitement, he stood up from the chair, and the maids around him hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he reached out to stop it. He slowly walked to Liu Gaoneng's position and knelt on the ground with difficulty.
"Sir!"
The subordinates around him suddenly panicked, and they still had to kneel down at this age, could this body be able to eat? Hurriedly went up again to help.
"Stand down"
Su Qing sighed lightly and said, as the son of Su Quan, he was very clear about his father's temper. Over the years, Su's father has been devastated by his sister's heart, and it is also a good thing that he has the opportunity to get rid of his heart knot today.
Su Quan knelt down and said sincerely, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and he said to Liu Gaooneng in an old voice:
"Gao Neng virtuous nephew, my Su Quan has been in business all my life, and I am full of wind and water. But he was confused with his daughter. Afterwards, old man, I didn't even have the face to apologize to you, I really regretted my life!"
Liu Gaooneng said straightforwardly:
"Su Quan, you don't have to be like this, hurry up. I have already seen what happened back then, although your decision hurt Su Tao, but after all, you are Su Tao's father, she will definitely forgive you. ”
Su Quan raised his head, looked at Liu Gaoneng to express his attitude, and felt a lot better. You know, he has spent decades in depression.
In the end, it was Liu Gaoneng who helped him up. Su Quan was very satisfied with his prospective son-in-law back then, but unfortunately he didn't have this blessing. But now things are not the worst, Liu Gaoneng still forgave him.
In fact, Liu Gaoneng knew in his heart that Su Quan was also frightened by Luo Chong's forces at that time, so he didn't blame him. Moreover, he still has a great kindness to himself. Back then, the Su family sent three meals to themselves for ten years. If it weren't for Su Quan's failure to give up on Liu Gaoneng, and his dedication to saving Liu Gaoneng had not been extinguished, I am afraid that Liu Gaoneng would have starved to death on Wushan Mountain back then.
The Su family set up a top banquet in their house to entertain Liu Gaoneng and the others. After Su Quan's heart knot was untied, he also showed a smile at the banquet that he hadn't seen for many years, the smile on his face was the most real, he seemed to have let go of his earthly worries and completed his mission for many years.
In the face of this banquet, the most joyful ones belonged to me and Liu Mengxin, and the two of them ate happily. I've never eaten so much delicious food in my life, and so did I in my previous life!
After being full of wine and food, everyone came to Wushan again, the place where Su Tao killed himself. The tombstone will be cleaned by the Su family every day, so it looks exceptionally clean. Liu Gaooneng stepped forward alone and whispered to 'Su Tao', and none of us bothered.
After that, Liu Gaoneng took us out of the Su Mansion and back to his carriage. Liu Mengxin looked worriedly at Liu Gaoneng, who confided her true feelings on Wushan, and said:
"Daddy Liu, are you ..... Don't be sad."
Liu Gaooneng was driving the carriage, turned his head, returned to the appearance of Village Chief Liu, and said to Liu Mengxin with a smile:
"Yo, little girl, you were still sullen this morning, but now you are comforting the old man, and I am here?"
Mengxin saw that Liu Gaoneng returned to his original appearance, and her heart was immediately relieved. Before he could say a few words, he quarreled with Liu Gaoneng again. The three of them traveled all the way, and their mood was relaxed, and there was a big change from when they came.
That night, the campfire in the village was a success, and I hadn't felt such an atmosphere in a long time. Just like in the school, the teachers organized an evening party, and everyone conveyed joy to each other. It's said that laughter is contagious, and I think it's true everywhere.
After the party ended, all the villagers went back to their homes to rest. Liu Gaoneng placed his Taishi chair outside, and then lay down on it by himself. Shaking and looking at the starry sky, as if reminiscing about the past.
When I saw this, I stepped forward, picked up a small bench, and sat down beside him. Liu Gao could see that it was me, sighed lightly, and said self-deprecatingly:
"Shouqing, your father Liu and I have no skills in my life except bragging. You've heard everything about Su Mansion today, will you look down on the old man and me?"
From Liu Gaoneng's eyes, I saw a gloomy sadness. He paused for a moment and continued:
"If you want to say that my father, I was really majestic when I was young, but it was in the courtyard. I didn't expect those things to happen when I was 26 years old."
I said to Village Chief Liu with a serious face:
"Dad, you are not a useless person, and the deeds you have done can be written into a book. After listening to your life, I respect you even more!"
These are my sincere words, to say that Liu Gaoneng and Su Tao's lovesick spirit is not worse than Romeo and Juliet, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, at least I think so.
Liu Gaoneng smiled dumbly and said to me:
"Hey, I found out, you kid has a knack for sycophancy. Every time I talk to your kid, I can always be praised by you for being comfortable, where did you learn this skill?"
Liu Gaooneng obviously didn't believe that Liu Shouqing would understand that, after all, he was just a child. But he said this unexpectedly, of course, Liu Gaoneng thought that he was comforting himself, so this ability to slap horses is really good.
I smiled awkwardly, indeed, it sounds very strange to speak seriously with Liu Shouqing's identity. So I said:
"Father Liu, you are a 5th grade great monk, this skill is still poor. I heard the teachers in the academy say that you are already very good. ”
Liu Gaooneng smiled bitterly:
"Heh, 5th rank great monk? What can it be counted! I can't even protect a beloved woman, what kind of ability can I talk about? In the end, the thief who killed Tao Tao is still at large outside! ”
He shook his head helplessly and continued:
"Shouqing, tell you this, old man, I just want to vent my emotions for many years, and you just forget about it after listening to it. ”
After listening to this, I didn't know what to say or how to comfort me. I'm still young, and I don't have any skills. For this old man who treats me like a parent, I really want to help him and complete the unsettled grievances for him! But with my current strength, I am not qualified to say these things at all, so I have to secretly swear in my heart that I must cultivate well.
Liu Gaoneng reached out and took it out of his arms, and it took a long time to take out a small ornament, which looked like a jade hair felt. He stretched out his hand and handed it to me and said:
"Come on, you take this. I have carried it with me for many years, old man, and I have not been able to use it for its true value. Giving it to you today for safekeeping is also a part of my godfather's heart. In the future, if you find a good daughter-in-law, you can give it to her, and you will treat her well for the rest of your life, you know, little one?"
When I heard him say this, I was shocked, and then an indescribable warmth swept through my body. Isn't this the token of love that Su Tao gave to Liu Gaoneng back then? He gave me such a precious thing?
Liu Gaoneng saw that I didn't accept it, and said:
"What? You stinky boy can't even look at it."
I said anxiously:
"No, Daddy, this thing means a lot to you, do you really want to give it to me?"
Liu Gaoneng looked at me with a smile, his eyes were full of love:
"Shouqing, it's a pity to put such a beautiful felt on me! Old man, I have no children and no daughters all these years, until 3 years ago, I accepted you and Mengxin as righteous children, I don't pass it on to you, then I will pass it on, hurry up and take it"
I took the felt in his hand, tears rolled in my eyes, and I couldn't control the whole person from pounced on Liu Gaoneng.
"Oh, you want to crush my old man"
Although he said so, he hugged me tightly, and the happiness in his heart that only family can only have, spontaneously appeared.
