Chapter 52: Desert Survival (39)
When Chu Yunyun and Yan Jingxing looked at the village in the distance, they suddenly heard an old question from the side, which frightened the two of them, and no one even noticed when there was an extra person beside them.
The people who came had white hair and beards, and could not tell their age, and were wearing coarse cloth clothes and trousers, and looked at them with bright eyes.
"The old gentleman is disturbed, under the surname Yan, the name Jingxing, we fell off the cliff and walked along the river to here, for a few days to eat and sleep, hungry, see the village for a while to want to disturb it. Yan Jingxing said.
The old man's eyes narrowed when he heard his introduction, "You are also surnamed Yan? You also fell from the cliff called Zhu Qingcheng and got here? ”
When the two of them heard this, they already knew that Father Yan had indeed been here back then, but they didn't know how it was now, since they were alive, why didn't they contact each other for so many years?
"I don't know if the old gentleman saw another person surnamed Yan eight years ago, and I can't hide it, that one is very likely to be the father, and we have been looking for him all these years. Yan Jingxing asked.
"Well, since it is the will of heaven, come with me. The old man sighed and said.
The two didn't understand why the old man showed pity on his face, and only hoped that it was not bad news, so they followed the old man and walked towards the village below the mountain.
When he arrived at a relatively new house, the old man shouted outside the courtyard: "Xiaoyan, come out, the old man will come to look for it." ”
Chu Yunyun didn't care about this strange title, because she had already seen a man walking out of the house on crutches and looking straight at Yan Jingxing. His eyes are very similar to Yan Jingxing, even if he is middle-aged, he still looks clear and bright, revealing a deep sense of surprise and joy. There is no resemblance between the two except for their eyes, thinking that Yan Jingxing is like his mother, no wonder Yan's father was stunned when he saw him.
The corners of Father Yan's mouth moved a few times, and finally he only said, "You're here." ”
"Hmm. Yan Jingxing nodded silently.
These dozen or so families were very close, and when they heard that Yan's father's son was looking for them, they brought some of the meals that were being cooked at home, knowing that they had not seen each other for many years and had a lot to say, so they went home after delivering the food. Finally ate a hot and full meal, and after cleaning up, everyone sat in the courtyard, and listened to Yan's father talk about it, only to know that he had also died all these years.
When he was seriously injured and knocked off a cliff, he was lucky enough to fall into the flood river, but he was too seriously injured and could only float down the river. I don't know that after floating on the water for a few days, he kept holding on and not losing consciousness until he heard someone talking in his ears, and then someone picked him up from the river, and then he fell into a coma.
He fell asleep for a month before he woke up, but he was very seriously injured, and he was soaked in the river for several days to make the injury more serious, especially the two legs, and the very important reason why he fell off the cliff was to dodge the big knife that wanted to cut off his legs, but unfortunately he only escaped half of the force, and it was good luck to be able to pick up this life.
He has been bedridden for four years, and all other external and internal injuries are almost healed, except for two legs that he cannot walk. He also thought about contacting the outside, but unfortunately it was closed here, and if he wanted to get out, he could only fly up the cliff, not to mention that he was now, even if he was in the heyday of his martial arts, he couldn't go up without the help of external forces.
Since he was able to get out of bed, he has been slowly exercising his legs in the past few years, hoping to recover as soon as possible. The rest of the time is to teach some people in the village who want to practice martial arts, which can be regarded as repaying them for saving their lives.
"No wonder the old man just now showed pity when he heard that you were found by us, because once you left, there was no one to teach the villagers martial arts. It's just that he himself is not very powerful, why don't he teach it personally?" Chu Yunyun sincerely admired Father Yan after hearing this, such a serious injury, and his legs were equivalent to being wasted, this was not a little blow to a person who used to fly the eaves and walk the world, but he just persevered, this perseverance and this heart, no wonder Yan Pavilion developed so fast at the beginning.
Father Yan looked at Chu Yunyun with a satisfied smile, glanced at Yan Jingxing, and said: "That's the village chief, his martial arts are really powerful, but there are limitations, he also only learned after he practiced, once the martial arts are practiced to the highest level, they can prolong their lives, but they can no longer easily use internal force, otherwise they will explode and die after five times." So he won't pass on this set of martial arts to others anymore. ”
"God, there is still such a martial art?" Chu Yunyun sighed, "But it is understandable, there must be very few people who have practiced it." And you have worked hard, there will be gains and losses after the completion of the divine skill, and it is the greatest compensation to prolong people's lives, if you add the random use of force, if it is a treacherous person with a treacherous heart, it is not a big mess in the world, and a benevolent person will not bully the weak, I believe that even if you only use moves without internal force, it is enough, it is really not good, there are not five chances. It's fair to anyone. ”
"Haha, that's a good point, everything depends on blessings and misfortunes, the key depends on how you want to look at it. Yan Nanyuan admired.
"Brother Yan, someone is looking for you again. While everyone was talking, a woman in a green shirt came from a distance, about twenty years old, not very beautiful but free and pure, looking at Father Yan's eyes with shame and reluctance to look away, followed by seven or eight people, it was Wei Lang and others.
"Little sister!" "Boss!" "Pavilion Master!"
For a moment, everyone had everything they called, but they forgot about the woman. After Chu Yunyun appeased Wei Lang, who was blaming himself and remorseful, he looked up and saw that she was looking at Father Yan with eyes full of love and blushing cheeks, but Father Yan was busy talking to his subordinates who he hadn't seen for many years, and he didn't notice her gaze.
It's not that it can't be done, after all, Yan's mother has been gone for more than 20 years, and there has never been any news that Yan's father has been entangled with other women, but it's just ......
After everyone calmed down, the woman heard that everyone hadn't eaten yet, so she hurriedly went to Zhang Luo, another villager.
"Uncle Yan, who is that girl?" In fact, Yan Nanyuan said that he was in his forties, but he still looked like a young knight in his early thirties, with an image and temperament that women liked. Chu Yunyun saw that Yan Jingxing looked at the woman three times, and couldn't help but ask.
"She is the granddaughter of the village chief, and her name is Wen Ya. Father Yan looked at Chu Yunyun amusedly, "She and the village chief really want me to be the son-in-law of the Wen family, but I have already refused. There is only one wife of Yan Nanyuan, don't worry. ”
What kind of heart do I have, I didn't see your son is really relieved, this father and son are interesting. Chu Yunyun could only pretend to be embarrassed and smiled and diverted the topic.
After Wei Lang and the others finished eating the food sent by the villagers and rested for a while, everyone began to prepare for leaving here. After so many years of hard work, the meridians of Yan's father's legs have been opened, and they should be able to recover as long as they are conditioned for a few more years, but now they still have to use crutches. Fortunately, there were quite a few people who followed, and since there was no other way out around, everyone decided to go back the way they came, at least they could go up the cliff.
In the end, it was decided to recuperate here for two days before leaving, after all, everyone was injured, and they were going down the cliff and looking for someone in the past few days, and they have not been rested. Father Yan also took advantage of the past two days to sort out his martial arts moves and mantras and hand them over to the village chief, which is also the biggest feedback he can give to the village, and he can't honor the rest.
After eating in the evening, Chu Yunyun saw that everyone was sitting in the courtyard bored, looked at Yan Nanyuan and said, "Uncle Yan, can you tell me about your relationship with Mr. Chu Zhe back then?"
