Chapter 19: The Knot Is Unsolvable
Dragging his physically and mentally exhausted body, Liuyun slowly pushed open the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as info entered, what caught my eye was Xiaoli's anxious figure. She sensed the chaos outside, and was running around the house irritably.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xiaoli turned around and found that it was Liuyun who had returned, and immediately jumped over excitedly with small steps, and jumped onto his shoulder, rubbing his face constantly.
Seeing Xiaoli's cheerful appearance, Liuyun's heavy mood was also soothed. I just wanted to raise my hand and stroke her fur as usual, but stopped halfway through. Looking at the white hands in the air, Liuyun's eyes trembled, his breathing was short, and he muttered: "Why?
Liuyun's hand couldn't stop trembling, and he still seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of blood in his nose, and the broken pictures that flashed from time to time were even more vivid. He sat on the bed in despair, staring straight ahead with a slightly vacant look in his eyes.
As if trying to comfort the sluggish Liuyun, Xiaoli stretched out her little tongue and licked his cheeks diligently. As if aware of this, Liuyun twisted his head slightly, and his dull eyes looked at Xiaoli fixedly.
After a long time, a teardrop crossed and fell on the bed, seeping into it silently.
Why did he cry? Liuyun didn't know, he only felt that his heart was full of mixed feelings, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined, but it was difficult to tell. The heavy guilt weighed on him, making him feel suffocated. He didn't dare to close his eyes and rest, as soon as he closed his eyes, a blood-drenched scene would emerge before him.
Liuyun locked himself in his room for a whole night, and he didn't eat, so he kept this position, sitting on the bed, looking ahead with unfocused eyes. Tonight was the first time he had interrupted his cultivation, and his chaotic thoughts filled his mind, making him have no intention of doing anything. Xiaoli saw that Liuyun did not rest, and also lay on him and accompanied him all night.
The dawn light illuminated the dim room through the window, and the morning light sprinkled on the flowing clouds, giving his cold body a hint of warmth. After last night's relaxation, Liuyun's mood calmed down a lot, but the bloodshot in his eyes showed his sleepiness.
Feeling the temperature on his body, Liuyun couldn't help but think: I can't be so decadent anymore, there are still a lot of things to do, my sister's business, revenge business, and homecoming... The belief in his heart reinvigorated him a little, but the shadow in his heart lingered.
Standing up, moving his stiff limbs, Liuyun opened the door, and paced outside, looking at the rising sun in the distance.
"How long has it been since you had a good look at the rising sun?" "Playing with Xiaoli's supple white hair, Liuyun muttered to himself.
At this time, the clouds filled the sky, the morning breeze blew, and the morning sun sprinkled down, gilding them with a layer of golden luster.
"We've enjoyed this kind of scenery together before, do you say, sister?" asked Liuyun softly. It's a pity that Liuli has long lost his mind and can't answer any of his questions.
"Hey~~~" sighed, containing a lot.
As if to alleviate all kinds of boredom, the clouds slowly dispersed.
Shi Lei, who was exercising in the open space, saw Liuyun's figure, and his worry flashed. He greeted in his usual tone: "Flowing boy, it's early." But you're up late. ”
"Yes, good morning. Liuyun was obviously not in high spirits and was a little dull.
"Liuboy, if it weren't for you yesterday, I'm afraid not only me, but the entire village would be in danger. I'm here to thank you. Shi Lei put down the stone pier in his hand and said to Liuyun sincerely, and at the same time had the intention of encouraging him.
"Yesterday...", as if to bring back bad memories, Liuyun's face changed, and then returned to normal, smiled far-fetchedly, and said, "This is all what I should do." ”
Looking at Liuyun's appearance, Shi Lei was a little anxious. He came to Liuyun's side, grabbed his shoulders, shook him vigorously, and then said loudly, "Liuyun, cheer up, don't you just kill a mess." That kind of person, there is no need to be sad for him. Look, go back and sleep like that. ”
Before Liuyun could reply, Xiaoli who was taking a nap was woken up, glared at Shi Lei angrily, and then shrank back and continued to rest, she was tired from sleeping all night.
Seeing this, Shi Lei's face showed a look of contempt, after three years of contact, he was also very familiar with Xiaoli, and knew that this little guy was smart. At this time, the voice of Liuyun came.
"Thanks, I'm fine. The tone was flat, but there was a hint of exhaustion in it.
Shi Lei didn't know how to explain him, so he had to pat him on the shoulder vigorously and looked at him seriously, "I don't know how to talk about it, anyway, I, the village chief, and everyone in the village will support you." ”
Nodding slightly, Liuyun signaled that he understood. Shi Lei didn't say anything more, patted him on the back as if encouraging, and went back to exercise.
Farewell to Shi Lei, Liuyun continued to walk in the village. The villagers he met would greet him warmly. Looking around at the familiar people and familiar scenes, Liuyun didn't know what he was thinking, he just let his heart lead his legs, wandering around aimlessly.
"Liuyun!" a woman's voice sounded from behind. Liuyun turned to look, but it was Miao Xiaorong who stopped him.
"Good morning, Miss Miao. Although he felt that it was a big trouble, Liuyun still greeted him politely.
"Liuyun, you're early. After speaking, Miao Xiaorong's cheeks flushed, glanced at Liuyun shyly, and lowered his head to stare at his toes, as if there was something rare there.
Liuyun's eyelids jumped, no matter how many times he saw it, he couldn't get used to the other party's affectionate demeanor. Anxious to get rid of it, he immediately said, "If it's okay, I'll go first." ”
"Alas, are you in such a hurry, don't you stay with others for a while? Liuyun, do you know, you were so heroic yesterday, just like that day when the gods descended to earth, you can see people..."Miao Xiaorong raised his head as he spoke, but there was still Liuyun's figure in front of him, and he had already been flying in the dark. She stomped her foot in shame, but with her tonnage, the ground seemed to shake when she stepped down.
"Huh~~" Liuyun, who felt that he had escaped, took a long breath.
"Hehe", shaking his head self-deprecatingly, he continued to wander around at an unhurried pace.
In front of it is the old village chief's residence. Looking at the thatched hut not far away, Liuyun thought.
Coincidentally, at this time, the village chief Fan Lao also walked out of the house. Seeing Liuyun, Fan Lao showed a peaceful smile.
"Good morning, old village chief. Liuyun took the first step to say hello, he respected the old man in front of him very much.
"Hehe, little one, you're early, too. Fan Lao replied kindly.
Liuyun's name for that "little guy" has always been very painful. Three years ago, it was understandable to call it that, but now that they have grown up, they still call it that, which makes him speechless. But he can't refute it, after all, the age of the person is there.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Fan Lao took the lead in opening the conversation, "Little guy, how about chatting with the old man?"
"I can't ask for it. Liuyun smiled and readily agreed.
"Little guy, you don't have to force yourself in front of the old decay. I can see that you are actually quite low. Old Man Fan is old and refined, and his cloudy eyes seem to contain endless wisdom, and he can see through the flowing clouds.
"Eh, how does the old village chief know?" Seeing through the forced smile, Liuyun lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose, quite embarrassed.
"Hehe, little one, when you also live to this age, you can naturally see many people and many things clearly. Fan Lao stroked his gray beard, looking at the sky, as if remembering some past. The yellowed folds reflect the brilliance of the rising sun, which is the passing of the watery years...
The past cannot be traced, and after a little remembrance, Fan Lao returned to his senses. And the flowing clouds on the side did not disturb, just quietly stared at the old but still outstanding figure under the morning light.
"When people are old, they love to remember the past, don't be surprised. Fan Lao smiled indifferently.
Seeing that Fan Lao had returned to normal, Liuyun asked the question that had plagued him for a day: "Old village chief, what is human life? I know that person is not a good person, but..."
"But I always feel bad in my heart, don't I? I don't know those big truths, I only know that because of you little guy, the village where I am waiting has been saved, and those innocent villagers have been saved. Little guy, you might as well imagine what a miserable fate these villagers would have in this village if you were killed by that thunder tiger? Men would become the souls of their swords, and women would become their playthings! So why should we sympathize with these scumbags, and if we do too much injustice, we will kill ourselves. ”
Fan Lao's words were loud, making Liuyun feel like he was suddenly opened. He hadn't thought of it before, but he hadn't thought about it that far-reaching. Now that Fan Lao mentioned this, he thought about it again, and really felt that it was not a pity for Lei Hu to die, and he should not spend more time on this matter. Are memories that can be imprinted into the soul so easily forgotten?
Liuyun, who thought that his heart had been resolved, gave a deep salute and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you to the old village chief for solving the boy's doubts." ”
"Don't be polite, if you really want to say that you are still old, I should thank you. After Fan Laoyan finished speaking, he actually wanted to bow to Liuyun and thank him, but he was stopped by Liuyun, and he couldn't stand this worship.
After that, the two talked happily and parted after a while.
After going around in circles, Liuyun returned to his room, and he felt a lot more relaxed, especially Fan Lao's words had a profound impact on him, giving him a clearer understanding of the power he carried.
Clenched his fists, Liuyun whispered to himself: "'The good are good, the evil are evil, the cycle of cause and effect will eventually have its way. This is what the scriptures say, that Lei Hu and his men also did bad things before they were punished. Take this as a warning, your own strength must not bully the weak and bully others, otherwise I will be the next thunder tiger. Thinking of Lei Hu's fate, Liuyun shuddered, and was even more in awe of the Heavenly Dao and cause and effect.
