If it's just because the obsession lingers for hundreds of years, I want to go to reincarnation.

It is more convenient to walk from Lao Bao, why bother to come to Xu Feng.

“…… For hundreds of years, I have never forgotten some things and I can't let go of my obsessions. ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man lowered his head and said,

"I heard that the adults had returned and took charge...... Lethe Inn. So I beg Your Excellency, and I want to go here to spend the Lethe River......"

The middle-aged man answered Xu Feng's question.

It's just because passing by Xu Feng's Lechuan Inn can resolve his obsession, so he came.

"Hmm."

With a calm face, Xu Feng nodded in response.

Looking back, Ah Meng in the back kitchen had already walked out again with a pot of tea and teacups.

Putting down the two teacups, Ah Meng carried the teapot and poured water into the two cups.

The middle-aged man looked at it and stood up a little crampedly.

"No, sir...... I, I'll do it myself. ”

Somewhat restrained and at a loss, the middle-aged man hurriedly said,

"Sit down. Saying that you are not a bad person when you enter the door of the inn, but just a guest, I am the owner of the inn, so it is naturally impossible for your guests to pour their own tea...... Moreover, you have to drink this cup of tea. ”

It was probably Xu Feng's words, probably the middle-aged man who looked at the flowers and leaves floating in the poured tea, and also understood what this tea was.

Slowly sat back down.

"Let's take a sip of water."

After pouring two cups of tea, Ah Meng sat down beside Xu Feng.

Xu Feng stretched out his hand to put a teacup on the table, pushed it towards the middle-aged man a little more, and said softly.

"Thank you, sir......"

Holding the teacup in both hands and taking a small sip carefully, the middle-aged man paused again and looked at Xu Feng,

Xu Feng stretched out his hand and took a casual sip of the teacup,

"I haven't asked yet, what do you call it?"

"His Holiness and the other shadows call me 'Carpenter', my original name ......"

The middle-aged man also thought about it carefully,

"Call, Bian Gui. The third in the family, my parents call me the third, and people outside call me the third in the family......"

"Is it right? Can you tell me about your obsession? ”

Xu Feng looked at Bian Gui and asked directly.

After having done so much for this for so long, he should also understand many things, and it is much easier to communicate.

"I ......"

Still holding the glass of water in his hand, Bian Gui opened his mouth, looked at Xu Feng, raised his eyes slightly, and fell into a trance,

"I want to go back somewhere."

"Where?"

"Yong'an, Jiangzhou, He'an Village, Shannan Town."

Bian Gui said a very detailed place name.

"Yin Cha seems to have taken a vacation, have you ever been back?"

"I went back once, and then I didn't dare to go back. Later, they didn't dare even more. ”

Bian Gui's eyes were a little trance-like.

"What is this place?"

Looking at Bian Gui's expression, Xu Feng had already guessed it, but still asked.

"It's ...... My home. There are my elderly mother, my wife and children at home. ”

Xu Feng probably understood the reason why Bian Gui said that he didn't dare to go back later.

Three hundred years of vicissitudes. Let him be afraid to go back, if he doesn't go back, it will still be like that in his memory.

When you go to the food street in the capital city, you can see that many vacations are sitting on the side of the street, stunned, looking at the street scene that they have in their hearts.

In addition, Xu Feng also understood that Bian Gui didn't want to go back to this place.

He wanted to go back to 300 years ago, and was going to say that it was his home where his mother, wife and children were there.

"Well, you want to go home?"

"Hmm. I want to go home. ”

Bian Gui nodded and replied affirmatively.

"Hmm...... Can you tell me about your family? ”

Looking at Bian Gui, Xu Feng paused and said again.

"Good ......"

In the teacup in his hand, there is still some hot air,

Bian Gui raised his head, his eyes were in a trance, and then he lowered his head and said to Xu Feng.

"That's a ...... The village is not very large, some distance from the town, leaning against the foot of a hill. The mountain is not very high, and it is estimated that it is about 100 meters to the touch. Halfway up the mountain, some fields were cultivated, some crops were planted, and there were some fields at the foot of the mountain, and the fields at the foot of the mountain went by, next to the road in the village, and on the side were the houses of the people in the village. At the foot of the hill on the other side of the road, there is a small river that winds its way from the entrance to the end of the village, enclosing half of the village.

The water in that small river was shallow most of the time, and when I stepped on it, it reached the belly of my feet, and when I was a child, I would fish there from time to time and catch crabs. However, the old people in the village said that it was a big river, and the upper reaches of the river lived the 'River Dragon King', and when the River Dragon King swam here, the river would be flooded, so the village was called He'an Village. ”

"My house is located near the entrance of the village, and there are neighbors living on both sides. There is an orange tree planted in front of my house, which my father dug down from the mountains and planted on the side of the yard when he was young. During the year, some fruit will be produced, but it tastes very sour. When I was young, I felt strange, and I often climbed the tree, stood on the branch, peeled oranges and ate them, and frowned so sourly......"

Speaking of this, there was a smile in Bian Gui's eyes, as if he had seen that scene again.

Just smiling, the smile faded again,

After a pause, Bian Gui continued to say,

"In front of my neighbor's house, I planted a laurel tree, and when the laurel tree bloomed, I would follow and shoot down some osmanthus flowers. The neighbors would give us some, or take our sour oranges, and my mother would use them to make some osmanthus cakes. However, there is little sugar at home, and I can make it once a year, but fortunately, the laurel tree only blooms once a year, and most of the time it is used to greet guests, and occasionally I eat a small piece as a snack...... Flavor...... Very sweet. ”

"I'm the third and youngest in my family. However, I am the only one who has grown up alive. ”

"My eldest brother died of illness when he was young, my second brother starved to death when he was famine, and my father died at that time."

"My mother was a peasant woman, and she never left the whole town in her life, and she didn't leave the village very often, at most she just went to the town market to sell something and buy something back."

"After the famine, my mother was afraid that I would die of famine in the future, so she begged someone to send me to the carpenter's house in the village as an apprentice. I want to learn my craft so I don't starve to death. ”

"When I was visiting the master, my mother took two saved bacon...... That bacon smells so good...... Smelling that smell makes your mouth water......"

"My master is a widow and has never been married in his life. Originally, I didn't want to accept apprentices, but then I probably wanted to have someone to support the elderly and send me to the end. Master is very strict with me...... When the bamboo strip was pulled out, it was a red wound. ”

"But my master is not bad to me...... At least, the two pieces of bacon that my mother brought were cooked for me that night......"

"Later, my master also died. I gave him a pension for the end. I also made a living by helping the village and several surrounding villages to do carpentry work. Occasionally, I like to carve something ......."

"My mother found me a relative, the daughter of a neighboring village. She's been thinking about it ever since I grew up. It was once she went to a neighboring village to help people plant seedlings, and when she heard someone mention the girl, she found someone to lead the line. ”

"I agreed, so I found someone to match, and just like that, my wife and I got married."

"My wife is a very hardworking and virtuous person, and she knows everything in the family. She doesn't talk often, and most of the time, when others talk to her, she responds.

When I was out doing carpentry work, she was busy at home. I know that she is tired at home, and occasionally when she comes back from outside, I will bring her something she likes to eat, and occasionally I will make some knick-knacks for her to take home. ”

"When I married her, I wasn't really old. As it stands, it's a half-grown child...... Sometimes the two of them are also a little childish. I made her a wooden top, and when winter was approaching, the two of us were playing around in the yard with the top...... Sometimes when I go out, I take her with me...... When she was at home, she would wait for me at the door of the house and in the yard. ”

"Not long after we got married, maybe a year or two, we had a child."

"When I was born, I was so big...... Then the child is really the same day as a child, as if in a trance, he will open his mouth to talk about me, and he will run all over the ground. ”

"In the house, my mother and wife took the children, and I still ran around the surrounding villages, doing carpentry work."

"But when I went home, there was a little little person waiting outside the house."

"I made him a rattle, a kite for him, a little figure for him, and his mother made him a sandbag and a puppet."

"We didn't play enough in two hours, so we hope he can play enough."

"His grandmother also tied a red rope around his wrist, hoping that he can grow up safely."

"My wife likes to eat sour things, my son likes to eat sweet things, and occasionally when I come back from outside, I bring her and the boy back a bunch of sugar gourds......

"I'm happy to see my wife and that snack happy......"

It seems that he has fallen into a memory, and Bian Gui has been talking for a long time before gradually stopping.

"It's been a long time...... I still can't forget these things. Every time I was quiet, I thought back and forth about these things in my head. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Feng quietly in front of a listener,

also knows that there must be something going on in the future,

Otherwise, Bian Gui would not have sat here at this moment.

However, Xu Feng didn't ask out loud, just waited quietly.

Sitting on the opposite side of the table, he slowly lowered his head, still holding the cup of tea that had been steaming in his hand.

He paused and didn't speak again for a long time.

It's been a long time,

Bian Gui, who was holding the teacup, spoke again,

"That day. It had rained heavily the night before, and when I woke up, my wife told me that there was a leak in the kitchen roof. ”

"After breakfast, I took the ladder and climbed up to the top of the kitchen to climb through the roof tiles. My mother and wife were still holding on to the ladder and watching from the kitchen. My son was there, too, looking up at me curiously, and turning his head from time to time, fiddling with his little knick-knacks. ”

"I saw that the roof tiles were a little out of place due to the wind and rain, so I turned the tiles over again, and then added two tiles, and I was ready to look at the rest of the roof...... Someone came from outside the house. ”

"Without saying a word, after slamming the door a few times, he walked straight in, and when he came in, he shouted my name and asked me where I was."

"It was the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who came, and they rushed in with great vigour, and my mother and wife were a little afraid, and I was still on the roof, a little overwhelmed. It was just my son, who didn't understand anything, fiddling with toys in his hands, looking at those people curiously. ”

"Those people are here to catch the strong men...... It is said that there are rebels in the south, and each family is asked to send strong men to serve in the army...... As soon as the officers and soldiers came out, they scared my wife and mother enough...... My wife's face was pale and she stood there bewildered, and my mother trembled and hurriedly knelt down and begged the officers and soldiers who came, saying that I was the only one in the family. If you take it away, the house will be finished. ”

"The officers and soldiers just said that our family must produce a strong man, and the rest has nothing to do with him...... I was still sitting on the roof, my feet were a little weak, and I didn't know what to do. ”

"My mother kept kowtowing to let the officers and soldiers let me go, and her head was covered with blood...... My wife was scared and kowtowed to the ground, and the child cried. ”

"But by this time, the officers and soldiers who had come had already discovered me, and someone was about to climb the ladder to arrest me. My mother probably couldn't think of it, so she stood up and knocked down the bamboo ladder of the standing man, telling me to run quickly. ”

"At this time, he was captured by a strong man to exterminate the rebels, and he either died on the way or died on the battlefield, and it was difficult to come back alive...... It's better to run, and if you run into the mountains, you may still survive. ”

I paused, and then in a panic I shrank from under the eaves of the next roof, and ran out of the village...... But in the end...... Didn't run away either. Those officers and soldiers of the imperial court were left outside the village...... In the end, they caught me. ”

"When I was taken away, my mother's wife, like the rest of the village, chased me to the entrance of the village. I looked back at my mother and wife, who had wounds on their faces and had been beaten by the officers and soldiers who had beaten them before. ”

"My mother and wife were crying out to me, and the cries were mixed with the cries of the others, and I couldn't hear them...... I kept tilting my head and looking back at my mother and wife, and the children. ”

"I was taken over there...... My mother, dressed in a yellow-gray linen dress, was going to go to the field to weed. My wife was similar, waiting for me to come down from the roof and take me off and wash it together. My son had a tiger hat and his mother sewed it for him...... Holding me in your hand and making a rattle for him......"

Bian Gui said, paused again, and his eyes were in a trance towards him, as if he saw that scene again.

“…… These scenes go over and over in my head...... The longer it takes, the clearer it becomes...... It's been hundreds of years, and I still can't forget it. ”

"The house at home, my mother, my wife, my children...... I don't know if there is any rain leaking in the house other than the kitchen...... If there are other places to leak, they are old, they are small, and my wife is left, how can I go up to the house and renovate the roof tiles...... How they lived. ”

As Bian Gui spoke, his voice became hoarse and his eyes were red.

Then he paused, held the teacup in his hand, was silent, and took a sip of the water in the cup.

"You died on the battlefield?"

Xu Feng looked at Bian Gui and said along with Bian Gui's words.

"No, I died on the way home."

Bian Gui raised his head, his eyes redder, and looked straight ahead.

"When I went, the food baggage of the imperial court was quite sufficient. On the way to the confluence, although many people died, and many died on the march for various reasons, most of them survived. ”

"Wait until the battlefield...... I survived anyway. It doesn't matter to me anything else. The most important thing is to survive. I want to live, I want to go back. ”

"I'm lucky, and my family was pretty rich in food before, so I also have some strength. Although I was wounded, I rarely hurt my bones and bones, and I survived until I fought again and again on the battlefield. ”

"When the last battle is over, the court orders are evacuated, and we can return to our hometown, I breathe a sigh of relief."

"However, when I came, when I was fighting, the grain and grass sent by the court were quite enough, but on the way back after the war, the food was gradually insufficient, and the army was filthy everywhere.

The clothes and armor worn by all the soldiers, even the blood shed from the wounded on the battlefield and the blood spilled by the enemy, are still left on their bodies, and I am afraid that they can smell a stench from afar.

It is also because of this, on the way back, since the epidemic in the army, coupled with the lack of baggage and food, everyone is very weak, and if they are weak, they are more likely to get sick...... Although the generals above often spoke out to appease, the atmosphere in the army was still getting more and more wrong.

Until the first small mutiny...... The first mutiny was quickly brought under control.

But after the camp was stationed that night, a second mutiny followed...... Probably the dinner caused more people to be dissatisfied, and there was a series that night, some people said that the court felt that they were useless after the war, so the grain could not be transported for a long time, and some people said that the grain was transported, but it was greedy by the generals and captains above.

At that time, I didn't want to care about it at all, I was halfway home, I just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

But even though I didn't want to, I got caught up in it...... There were mutinies in the barracks, some generals were killed, and some generals, in order to avoid mutiny, simply connived at the corporal to loot villages and towns. Originally, he was there to exterminate the rebels, but he became a traitor himself. ”

"At that time, I still barely had some conscience, mainly because my body was still relatively strong, and I could still bear hunger these days...... I watched these mutinies and looting, and I originally wanted to escape...... But...... There were quite a few deaths in the barracks, and the bodies were left untreated, which became more serious...... I got it too. ”

"After a night, even if you want to run, you can't run......"

"Finally...... Someone saw that I was sick with a plague and slashed me to death...... I want to rebel, I want to go home...... But I really don't have the strength. ”

As he spoke, Bian Gui paused again and was silent for a long time.
