Chapter 8: Farewell
On the other side, Bai Feng rode a white horse, waving his spear and rushing left and right in the formation of the imperial soldiers, a group of poor soldiers had no power to fight back, plus the night dragon guards who led the team here were all dead and running. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info these soldiers were even more demoralized, throwing away their armor and fleeing in all directions.
Watching the Imperial soldiers withdraw from the village in a scattered manner, Bai Feng watched from afar and did not pursue again. After all, the main purpose of this operation is to save people, not to kill the enemy, and the purpose has been achieved, not to mention that these stragglers are only acting according to orders, so naturally there is no need to kill them.
At this time, the black lion had already returned to Chen Zhen and Meng Lin's side. The huge body shook, the whole body was black, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a tall and mighty young man. The black power suit is clean and neat, and there is no extra equipment. His long black hair was all combed back, like the mane he wore when he transformed into a black lion, with a Chinese face with generous facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic spirit.
"Old Chen, how is this kid?" Xiang Aochu squatted down and asked with concern as he approached Chen Zhen. Just now he also heard Chen Zhen say that this child is the child of his life-saving benefactor, and he is naturally a very important person.
"Young master, it should be fine, but his body is weak and he has not suffered any fatal injuries. After Lin'er treated him, his face improved significantly and his condition was much better. Chen Zhen wanted to make a gesture to the young master, but he realized that he only had one arm and couldn't do that action anymore, so he simply nodded at Xiang Aochu.
"The person has woken up, young master! look!" Meng Lin on the side shouted excitedly, Chen Zhen and Xiang Aochu turned their heads at the same time, and saw that Wei Yi had barely opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand at Chen Zhen, but his body was too weak, and his hand hung down again halfway up.
"Yi'er, grandpa is fine, the bad guys have been beaten away, don't think about anything, hurry up and rest. When you are well, grandpa will talk to you well. Chen Zhen hurriedly reached out and touched Wei Yi, knowing that he was worried about himself, and there were many people who were worried, but the situation was safe at the moment, and he didn't want him to spend too much physical strength on useless things.
Wei Yi saw that Chen Zhen was standing beside him well except for his broken arm, and there were several people around him who seemed to be his companions, so he was naturally relieved. Close your eyes and fall asleep.
"Young master, those imperial soldiers have already run away. It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's hurry up and retreat to Hidden Dragon Mountain, right?" Bai Feng also arrived at everyone's side at this time.
"Young master, my subordinates have a reluctant request. Chen Zhen stood up suddenly, bowed to Xiang Aochu, and said apologetically. "Old Chen, if you have something to say, just say it!" Xiang Aochu was not a person who twisted, stood up and patted Chen Zhen on the shoulder: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it." ”
Chen Zhen glanced at Wei Yi who was lying on the ground, and said: "I was chased and killed by the Night Dragon Guard this time, and finally jumped into the sea to escape, if it wasn't for the father of this child who rescued me from the sea, I'm afraid my body would have sunk to the bottom of the sea." Now because of me, the innocent people in this village have been implicated, and several people have died. Now, my brother is gone, and I can't just leave, I have to wait for him to come back and apologize to him. Chen Zhen glanced at Wei Yi again and hesitated for a moment, "And this kid, he has been discovered by the empire as a star disciple, and he must no longer be left alone in this village, otherwise, it may bring even greater disasters." I wanted to take him back to Zanglong Mountain, but I had to explain it to his father. ”
"Well, it makes sense, our Chu Fengtuan must have clear grievances, and we must repay the favors we have received from others, and if we cause unwarranted trouble to others, we must also explain it to others. Old Chen, what do you need me to do?" Xiang Aochu replied to Chen Zhen very affirmatively.
"I hope that the young master will agree to let me stay and make it clear to Brother Weilin, and second, I will agree to take this child into our Chu Feng Tuan. Chen Zhen knelt down as he spoke.
Xiang Aochu hurriedly helped Chen Zhen up, "Old Chen, there is no need to be like this, since this Brother Weilin is your savior and my friend of Chu Fengtuan, it is right to give him an explanation." In addition, his son is naturally also a friend of Chu Fengtuan, as long as his father agrees, I naturally have no problem. ”
"The old man is here, thank the young master for Wei Lin first. ”
"It's just that Old Chen, you stay alone, I don't worry. Let Bai Feng accompany you, in case something happens, you can take care of it. Xiang Aochu looked at Bai Feng.
"Yes, Chen Lao was so seriously injured that he was already unable to move. I accompanied him to deal with these things, and then escorted them back to Hidden Dragon Mountain. Bai Feng didn't have any excuses, Chen Zhen was also highly respected in the Chu Feng Regiment, and many of the people in the regiment were brought up by him.
"Okay, then it's decided, Meng Lin and I will go back first, you also need to be more careful. Deal with it as soon as possible and head back to the mountains. Xiang Aochu finally explained.
****
In Wei Yi's cottage, Wei Lin and his wife have returned home. As soon as Chen Zhen saw the husband and wife, he knelt down in shame. "Brother Weilin, I, Chen Zhen, can't stand you. I almost hurt your family!"
Wei Lin hurriedly helped Chen Zhen, who had broken an arm, up, and comforted him again and again to calm his mood. Explain what happened. Wei Yi's mother couldn't cry at this time, sitting on the edge of the bed, stroking her son. "Yi'er, woo... Don't scare your mother, you must get better quickly. ”
Wei Lin sat at the table on the side, and he didn't speak, his expression solemn.
"Brother Weilin, this matter is all because of me, you can blame me as much as you want. However, there is one thing I still have to say. Chen Zhen turned around and looked at Wei Yi on the bed, "Wei Yi, this kid, is indeed a star disciple, that is, the one you call the supernatural. Moreover, this situation has also been known to the Night Dragon Guard, who is in charge of the Empire's investigation. After that, he will definitely not let him go easily. He couldn't stay in the village any longer. Otherwise, it would be a great threat to himself and the people in the village. ”
Wei Lin naturally knew this truth, but he didn't know what to do at this time, he still lowered his head and didn't say a word. The atmosphere inside the hut was awkward.
Bai Feng leaned against the door, not participating in the conversation in the house. He knew that this was not an easy task, and the people actually had a great taboo and fear of the supernatural. Because, when the folk mention the supernatural, it is either the dead corpse hanging at the city gate, or those terrible cannibalistic stories. However, he knew that Chen Zhen would definitely get it, firstly, out of affirmation of Chen Lao's ability, and secondly, as Wei Yi's father, Wei Lin now had no second choice at all except to let Wei Yi follow Chu Fengtuan.
"Old Chen, I can listen to everything you say. I also know that you are for the good of Yi'er and the whole village. When Yi'er is a little better and comes to his senses, I also need to ask him myself. After all, he has grown up, and it is time for him to make his own decisions. Wei Lin finally spoke, very calmly, without excitement or indignation.
"Okay, then we'll wait!" Chen Zhen saw that Wei Lin could have such a reaction, and his heart was already much more steady.
In the evening, Zhao Dajiang came over with a few brothers. This made Bai Feng at the door nervous, worried that they would find trouble with Old Chen because of the dead people in the village, although these people would definitely not be his opponents, but he didn't want to do anything to these ordinary people.
Fortunately, Zhao Dajiang has already talked to several brothers, and everyone can actually understand that although Chen Zhen brought disaster to the village, in the face of life and death, he still disregarded his own safety and stepped forward, and even broke an arm in order to save Wei Lin's son. From this point of view alone, everyone is no longer so entangled in the problem of his deception of identity.
The reason why several brothers came to find Wei Lin was more because they saw Wei Yi's situation in the previous battle, and they naturally knew it in their hearts. They knew that Wei Lin must be worrying about this matter at this time.
"Brother Lin, the outside of the village is all cleaned up. Lao Meng's body, we also cleaned it up and put it in the ancestral hall. Hit a better coffin later, and give him a thick burial. The villagers are all contributing money and efforts to this matter. Zhao Dajiang entered the room and first told Wei Lin about the situation in the village, so that he could rest assured.
"Okay, that's good, I'll go with you to see him later, and send Lao Meng on his last journey." Wei Lin beckoned everyone to sit down, after experiencing such a bloody disaster, everyone's mood was relatively heavy.
"Brother Lin, Yi'er...... Are you alright?" Dae wanted to ask, hesitated, but still didn't say.
Wei Lin raised his head and looked at the brothers in the room, "You all saw it, don't pretend to me, Yi'er is indeed a stranger." After Wei Lin finished speaking, he couldn't help but look back at his son on the bed.
"Brother Lin, don't get me wrong. The brothers came here to tell you. We will listen to you about Yi'er's affairs, Brother Lin, if you say that you want Yi'er to stay in the village today, the brothers will definitely support you. If anyone else dares to say anything, we will definitely make them look good. ”
"Yes, Brother Lin, we absolutely support you!" everyone said in a gossiping voice.
"I know in your hearts what will happen if Yi'er stays, and I know better than you in my heart. Elder Chen stayed here to help me deal with this matter. However, Yi'er's stay or going, I still want to hear his own opinion. Wei Lin stopped the discussion, knowing that the brothers didn't want to embarrass him.
"Daddy!" Wei Yi's faint moan came from the bed, and everyone in the room stood up.
In the early morning of the next day, the earth-shattering gongs and drums and suona sounded in Feiyu Village. A pair of fine black coffins were carried out of the ancestral hall, and almost all the people in the village were in the funeral procession, and all of them wore linen and filial piety. Wei Lin held the coffin, and while walking, he shouted: "The road to heaven, brother go well!" He shouted, and the dozen or so people around the coffin should say: "Brother go well!"
Wei Yi and Chen Zhen stood at the door of their own house, looking at the mighty funeral procession, and each felt something in their hearts.
"Grandpa, why does the empire hate the star disciples and rebels so much?Why can you kill a person casually in order to catch someone?" Wei Yi passed this life and death ordeal, and his original simple state of mind also became confused and confused.
"What Yi'er experienced yesterday is a grain of sand for the people's suffering. Then similar things that the empire has done to the common people over the years can be piled up into a high mountain that we can't climb. Chen Zhen was still staring into the distance.
"Why did the empire treat the common people like this, and the common people didn't offend them?" Wei Yi looked at Chen Zhen puzzled.
"Yi'er, you're still young. A lot of things you will know slowly. Does Yi'er believe that there is a god?" Chen Zhen looked down at Wei Yi, and then touched his head with his right hand.
"Faith, even if there is such a thing as a dragon star, there must be a god. Otherwise, where did Long Xing come from?" Wei Yi replied firmly.
Chen Zhen smiled and continued: "Yi'er, do you remember what Long Xing said? ”
"Of course I do, but I don't know what that means. ”
This sentence is the reason why the empire hates us star disciples so much, even if many people die, they will not let us go. When Chen Zhen said, Wei Yi found that his grandfather's eyes were not scared, but extremely firm and proud.
In the evening, in Wei Yi's home, a sumptuous dinner was served on the table in the outer hall. There were a table full of people, Wei Yi's family plus Zhao Dajiang and several other brothers, as well as Chen Zhen and Bai Feng.
It was the first time for the Wei family to encounter such a deserted state at the dinner table, and they usually staggered every time, laughing and scolding. Now, everyone lowered their heads and played with the dishes and chopsticks in front of them. Everyone knows that this is a farewell meal.
Wei Yi's mother came out of the kitchen and brought a large bowl of broth. looked at the big men at the table, none of them moved their chopsticks or spoke. I felt uncomfortable again, and put down the big bowl. pushed Wei Lin: "Boss, so many guests, you also greet and greet." ”
Wei Lin suddenly woke up from his contemplation and realized his gaffe. After all, I invited everyone to dinner today, but I didn't say a word, and others were even more embarrassed to speak.
"Come on! Old Chen, Little Brother Bai, and all the brothers here, I invite everyone to dinner today, mainly for two things, one is to send Lao Meng away, and the brothers will get together for a while, usually Lao Meng likes to get together with us to drink. As he spoke, he looked at the empty seat beside him, and there was a wine bowl and a pair of chopsticks. Everyone knows that it was Wei Lin who stayed for Lao Meng.
"On the other hand, I still want to thank Chen Lao and Brother Bai, who not only saved my Yi'er's life, but are now willing to take Yi'er in. In the future, you will have to cause trouble for the two of you. When Wei Lin said this, his expression was already a little unnatural.
"Come, I'll give you a glass first!" he said, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and gestured in front of everyone. Wei Yi also noticed his father's strange appearance and knew that he must be reluctant to give up on himself in his heart. He also picked up his wine glass and said to Wei Lin: "Father, you usually don't allow me to drink, but today I will make my own decisions and accompany you for a drink." You and your mother don't need to worry too much, you can just go out and learn skills as Yi'er and I. When I learn my skills, I will definitely come back to visit you and take you to live a good life together. ”
"Yi'er is right, Brother Lin, you don't need to worry. I look at the black lion who came the day before yesterday...... Eh, Old Chen, I'm sorry, I don't know what your young master's name is. That black lion is amazing, I think Yi'er will definitely not suffer if he follows him. "Zhao Dajiang is a rough person, and he doesn't know how to comfort people, but what he said makes some sense.
"Yes, yes, yes, we've all seen it, that's amazing. A roar shook hundreds of Imperial soldiers to the ground. Several brothers next to him also echoed, hoping that such news could make Wei Lin less worried about his son.
Wei Lin took the wine glass, looked at his son, and then at the brothers. He didn't speak, and then dried the wine in the bowl in one gulp. "Okay! I'm not a mother-in-law, and I can understand what my brothers say. Since Yi'er herself has such an idea, of course I want to support it. I don't want him to follow me in this small fishing village for the rest of his life. Go out, go out and see the world. As he spoke, he patted his son on the shoulder.
"Okay! Everyone come together, do this bowl, I wish our Yi'er peace and security! By the way, you can also learn great skills and show your ambitions!" Zhao Dajiang saw that Wei Lin was dry, so he hurriedly added oil and vinegar to make the scene not too embarrassing.
And just like that, a farewell dinner turned into a happy party in the midst of wine. It's just that the taste of this may only be clearly known by the family involved.
That night, Wei Yi and Wei Lin were both drunk, and it was very late that the father and son were still sitting on the dirt slope at the door chatting. Wei Yi's mother didn't fall asleep either, standing at the window of the house, looking at the backs of the father and son, crying silently.
