Chapter 419: Farewell to the Past
On the first night of his stay in Donghai City, Shen Guo slept alone.
It's not a twist or turn, it's just that I've been kicked out.
Lin Wanzhao and Jiang Ning have a deep sisterhood, so they plan to sleep together at night, but Shen Jing has no choice but to go to Jiang Ning's room.
After being kicked out of the room, Shen Guo did not rush back to the room to rest, but went downstairs to sit for a while.
At that time, many of the guests in the hall had left, so there was no noise for a while, and both the running guys and the old shopkeepers were also idle because of this.
The old shopkeeper Qian Jin didn't know why he was more eye-catching to Shen Jing, a junior, so he saw it at a glance when Shen Jing came down.
The old shopkeeper stroked his beard and smiled, "Why did Childe come down alone?"
The old shopkeeper is a person who has come over, and when he sees Shen Jing going downstairs, he can probably guess some clues, so these words are also a lot of questions.
After hearing this, Shen Guan sat down by himself and smiled bitterly, "The shopkeeper knowingly asked if it was not."
The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "The beauty of the night is a good thing that many people can't ask for, and the son is very troubled by it. The girl's family is just resentful for a while, and it will be fine in a few days. We can afford to take it and put it down, there is nothing that we can't recognize."
When the old shopkeeper heard his words, he must have been a prodigal son in love when he was young, and he was full of green and green.
Shen Kuang waved his hand when he heard this, "Don't worry about this problem, how can a man who stands up to the sky be afraid of his mother?"
The old shopkeeper smiled with relief when he heard this, and he really had the confidence to tell lies when no one was around.
The accounts on the counter have been checked at this time, so the old shopkeeper has nothing to do, so he came over to chat with Shen Jing for a few words.
A young man and an old man, although there is a gap in age, they are happy to chat.
Originally, along the way, he could actually feel the influence of the two families after the incident, but since entering Donghai City, this feeling seemed to have disappeared, making Shen Jing feel that Donghai City was completely out of the way in this matter.
Shen Jing then asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, why did the two major families rebel against Donghai City without realizing it, as if nothing had happened?"
Between the two talking, a clever man brought a pot of tea and poured a cup for Shen Jing and the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper took the tea and took a sip, and then said slowly: "Childe, I don't know anything, our Donghai City is like a small river and lake. Don't say that the rebellion of the two major families is that Donghai City has really changed its name, and we people will not care too much. In the final analysis, it is a school of its own here, and everyone digests everything internally, and it will not rise to a higher level. The rivers and lakes are all about happiness and revenge, and the son should know more about this than me."
Shen Kuang could understand the meaning of the old shopkeeper, and Shen Kuang thought that this was also due to the intricacies of the various forces in Donghai City, there were too many large and small forces, although it would not be a mess, but it was not so easy to sort out the order.
And such an orderly situation in chaos is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world.
After the old shopkeeper finished speaking, Shen Jing asked again, "Shopkeeper, do you know about the five major families in the East China Sea more than 20 years ago? I've heard that it had a big impact back then."
Hearing Shen Qian's question, the old shopkeeper smiled indifferently, and he didn't seem surprised at all.
It's just that when he talked about it, the old shopkeeper suddenly showed a look of pity on his face, and the old shopkeeper said lightly: "Most outsiders who come to our East China Sea City will want to know about this matter. In fact, even many locals don't know the ins and outs of this incident, as if it happened overnight. It's a pity that the Shen family had a good reputation in Donghai City back then, so much so that many people still have grievances against the imperial court. But big things will be forgotten for a long time, but tomorrow Shen Qingzuo will definitely attract a lot of attention, if we have time, let's go and have a look."
Shen Guan smiled when he heard this: "Yes, it just so happens that I am also curious to see what this three levels are."
After Shen finished speaking, the old shopkeeper sighed, "The sudden destruction of the Shen family is really a pity. To put a golden word on my face, I think that the old man of the Shen family came to my inn to drink wine back then, and I also had a few words with him. Oh, now that I think about it, it's really impermanent."
Hearing this, Shen Guo asked, "Shopkeeper
Can you tell me what kind of person that old man of the Shen family is?"
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper suddenly became interested, and he smiled and said, "Speaking of the old man of the Shen family, he was also a legend in the rivers and lakes back then. Even if the current Nanke sword god Li Chengren is a god in swordsmanship, he still doesn't have to call himself a junior in front of the old man. Shen Yantong, the old man of the Shen family, is a few years older than me, although he is old, the spirit of the year is not comparable to ordinary young people."
As soon as he said this, the old shopkeeper's thoughts seemed to be suddenly pulled back to the past, and he was extremely excited, and Shen Qing on the side listened more seriously.
For his father, mother and grandfather, Shen has no impression.
He had only learned about them from some simple things, but as for what they were like, Shen Jing had no outline in his mind.
At the moment, there is an opportunity, and Shen Guo does not want to miss it.
The old shopkeeper frothed and told a lot of heroic deeds of the old man Shen Yantong, and Shen Guo also realized for the first time that his grandfather's influence in the rivers and lakes back then was only no worse than that of today's master.
After a long time, the old shopkeeper, who had talked a lot, stopped and drank a cup of tea.
At this time, Shen Jing took over and said, "I didn't expect this old man of the Shen family to have so many heroic deeds."
The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's not all. The reputation of the Shen family in the rivers and lakes back then was not something I boasted about, it was obvious to all, who was not proud to be able to make friends with the Shen family back then. It's a pity that now the five major families are empty, and it seems that only an old servant in the old mansion of the Shen family is guarding whether the Shen family can come back. Oh yes, if that young man named Shen Jing can go back to Donghai City to have a look, it will definitely cause a sensation."
Saying that, the old shopkeeper looked at Shen Jing and said with a smile: "Gongzi is also from the rivers and lakes, I think I have heard the name Shen Jing."
Hearing this, Shen Kuang smiled slightly and said, "The word Shen Kuang is like thunder, now I can hear it everywhere I walk in the rivers and lakes, how can I not know."
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper seemed to be honored, and he smiled: "That's how can the descendants of the Shen family be ordinary people, which can be regarded as giving the Shen family face."
Shen Jing on the side laughed to himself when he heard this, it seemed that he had not buried the reputation of the Shen family in the eyes of the old shopkeeper.
More than 20 years have been like a dream, although this body is unknown. Go back to the old place and see the old things. In the ancient road of the stage, I dreamed back to a few springs.
No matter how many things in the past will be brought back to the past with tonight's cup of tea, and the people of this place who are empty here will no longer remember the past after tonight.
Later, when I returned to my room, I couldn't sleep.
I met many people today, and a lot of things happened, and it was only when I savored Shen Jing at this time that I realized that many of the things I cared about had passed for a long time.
Scenes emerge in the eyes, like flowing water far away.
The trip to Donghai City was to understand all the knots in happiness, and now even some knots that I didn't hope for have been opened.
The impression of home is still not deep, but now he can sketch the appearance of home in his mind, so that he will not be lonely in the future.
Shen Jing, who couldn't sleep, got up and came to the window, the moon was bright tonight, Xiaolou was alone, and he was the only one.
In the distance, some places in Donghai City are still brightly lit.
This place is different from all the cities that Shen Guo has walked through, and the difference is very special.
The evening breeze blew lightly, blowing up Shen Jing's hair, but it blew out the folds on his heart.
The past can follow the wind, and it can also follow the evening breeze.
When the mood is calm, all trance events are left in yesterday.
Under the same bright moon, Shen Jing is not the only one who can't sleep for a long time.
After separating from Shen Jing and Lin Wanzhao, Su Yao went back to the inn alone, and she locked herself in her room until late at night.
Although some heart knots can be opened, there are some things that Su Yao can't go back to, so how can people not be sad.
Pushing open the window, Su Yao suddenly remembered what the master had told him before leaving
"If you live forever in the past, you will never be able to get out." The past we are entangled in is a certainty and can never be changed, and no amount of regret and chagrin will only add to our own worries. Yao'er, it's time to pass."
Su Yao understood Master's purpose, but she didn't let herself go. It's not that I can't figure it out, or I can't put it down.
It's easy to remember a person, but it's really hard to forget.
Maybe we have forgotten for a long time, but a chance encounter will be recalled one by one, and we can even recall every detail clearly, so how difficult it is to forget.
In fact, there were some things that Su Yao didn't tell the truth to Shen Jing, such as not going to see him.
In Nanliang, when Shen Guo walked through Taoye Village to Yehou Town and met five Feng Knock Mountain disciples, why did they look at Shen Jing alone, just because they learned about Shen Jing from the mouth of the little junior sister.
My little junior sister was watching directly behind the five people, stupid or not, of course very stupid.
Shen Guo was going to pass by Feng Knock Mountain, and the master told Su Yao about this a long time ago, and how she chose to steal the old man also fulfilled her wishes, so Su Yao also agreed to go down the mountain to take a look at the old man that day.
The senior who escorted Su Yao all the way was also a woman, her name was Tao Zhong, and according to her seniority, Su Yao also called her uncle.
Tao Zhong never appeared, but he witnessed all the things that Su Yao had experienced.
She also understands the past of the girl's family, but she can't help in emotional matters.
She watched the girl's house cry and then wiped it away gently, she looked at the girl's house and was silent, and finally muttered to herself, and it was all over.
She's comforting her poor heart, if it's not like, what's it?
Tao Zhong really wanted to catch Shen Kuang and give him a sword, but from another point of view, Shen Kuang didn't do anything wrong.
Later, Tao Zhong couldn't stand it, but still appeared.
Su Yao was not surprised by Tao Zhong's appearance, but the moment Su Yao saw her, all the grievances in her heart seemed to explode at this moment, and Su Yao hugged Tao Zhong and fell in front of her and sobbed silently.
Tao Zhong stroked Su Yao's head over and over again in distress, and at the same time comforted the silly child over and over again.
"If you really can't let go, tell him, otherwise your heart knot will only get deeper and deeper if you go back to the mountain like this." Tao Zhong comforted softly.
Su Yao sobbed and said, "Uncle Shi, is this the retribution that God gave me? I thought we would never see each other, I thought he would forget me and I would forget him, but as soon as I saw him, I remembered everything."
Tao Zhong heard the words and stroked her Qingsi and said, "Silly child, God also hopes that a lover will eventually become a family, how can there be so much retribution. Even if that kid doesn't want to, at least you can know his heart, and there's nothing to lose."
Seeing the sad Su Yao, Tao Zhong inevitably remembered his former self.
The girl's life seems to have to go through a difficult relationship, and the appearance of some people is destined to be unforgettable for our lives.
Su Yao was luckier than her, but in terms of ending, they were not perfect.
Su Yao sobbed, "Uncle Shi, I don't want to disturb him anymore. There are better women around her, and they love him more than I do."
Tao Zhong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and said dotingly, "Then go home with Uncle Shi, and it will pass." If you really miss him one day, I will ask your master to take you to meet him, and if he doesn't want to, let your master beat him up."
Su Yao laughed at Tao Zhong's words, Su Yao knew that Uncle Shi was not joking, and Master would be happy.
It's just that even though they were reluctant, in the end, Su Yao still didn't choose to talk to Shen Guan again, they probably had to miss it like this, this is the ending as it should be.
That night, Su Yao cried for a long time by relying on her uncle, and Tao Zhong was always by her side to gently comfort her.
Later, the two did not stay in the city for a long time and left overnight.
The breeze and the moon, the son and the beauty, there are too many winds, snows and snow, but there is no room for a girl's feelings.
And perhaps, this is the real farewell.
Shen Guo thought about a lot of things by himself later, including Shi Yu and Nan Qiao, as well as Zi
Everything that happened after leaving Plum Fog City.
In the end, Shen Guo saw that everything was about to end, and he could stop thinking about anything else on his return trip and wait for the master to return home with peace of mind.
