I don't like foreign songs when I am young, and I don't know how affectionate I am to remember my hometown. Now he has become a stranger, alone in a foreign land, and reminisces about his hometown.

For those young people who have been at home since childhood, it is difficult for them to understand the sentence that their parents are here and do not travel far, and even if a few of them have seen this sentence, they will use the reason that you must have a way to numb themselves.

And only when they are far away from home, have experienced a lot, and have nowhere to talk in their hearts, will they know that the mountains and rivers of their hometown are long.

Looking up at the moonlight, which was the same as last year, Jiang Ergou, who was sitting by the stream at this time, was probably in this state of mind.

When I first came out to travel a year ago, I was careless, and after walking for a long time, I felt that only ten days and a half months had passed.

And now that I am in a hurry, I have seen the border of Chongqing in the distance in just over a month, but I still feel that the day of returning home is far away.

Ergou stretched out his hand to untie the burden on his body and took out a box from the inside, but one of the two people who went home this time was lying in this small box.

On the shore of the East China Sea, when Ergou personally lit the fire, he realized in his heart what kind of peerless sword immortal this old man was far away from the world! He was still an ordinary old man who would grow old, get sick, and even die.

"Master, I don't know if it's because I always loved to call you dead old man in the past, so I called you to death, but after that, I don't even have a chance to call you dead old man. ”

As he spoke, a deep sense of guilt surged in Ergou's heart, because he always loved to put the words "old-age care" on his lips before. And now, before he has time to provide for him, he has already sent him to the end.

When I opened the box, I saw only the ashes that were only half of the box, and the person holding the ashes did not cry, his tears were probably all thrown on the coast of the East China Sea! These days, in addition to the non-stop hurry, Ergou just looked at the box in a daze.

Everyone is like this, they don't know how to cherish when they have it, and they only understand the preciousness when they lose it, just like the current Jiang Ergou, how he hopes that the old guy can come back to life, stand in front of him, point to his nose and call him Ergouzi.

There are hardships in life, suffering is loss, and it is difficult to let go...

In addition to Jiang Ergou by the stream, in the woods twenty or thirty zhang away from the stream, there were two figures of a man and a woman standing there watching Ergou.

"I really don't need to try to persuade him. ”

It was Mo Ruyue who looked a lot haggard who spoke, and it must be uncomfortable in her own heart, although the people of the rivers and lakes are used to seeing life and death, they may not be able to really let go of life and death without worrying, and it may be difficult to see the previous radiant look on her face in the future.

"No, if he can't get out by himself, let him stay in the mountain stream in peace for the rest of his life!"

Since the woman is Mo Ruyue, the identity of the man is about to come out, will there be anyone else besides Lin Cangsheng?

After the two of them finished speaking, they also fell silent, at this time, except for the spring cicadas still urging people to break their intestines, only the sound of frogs was in harmony with them, and their voices came far and far in this quiet night...

...

On the way back this time, Ergou did not alarm anyone he knew, since it was his master who accompanied him out of the mountain stream, then he also had to accompany the master back alone.

When he returned to the mouth of the mountain stream where he had lived with Master for twenty years, he saw the familiar bluestone again.

"Old man, let's go! This young man will take you to ride a horse and whip and go to the rivers and lakes!"

In a trance, he seemed to see a high-spirited teenager, he actually wanted to rush over and tell the teenager not to go out, there is nothing good in the rivers and lakes, except for his body, even the wine is not happy!

It's a pity that after he condensed slightly, everything disappeared, there was no teenager, and there was no wine!

Looking at the familiar valley in front of him, Ergou moistened his eyes and muttered softly in a trembling tone.

"Master, let's... Home!"

...

Everything in the mountain stream is still very familiar, and the small waterfall is still pouring from top to bottom, this waterfall has been flowing for nearly twenty years since the two dogs first arrived here until they left last year, so there is no reason why it has changed greatly in the past year.

It may be that the memory in his heart is too deep, and Ergou can't feel the feeling of being a person for a while.

The waterhole below the waterfall has not changed, but after the greedy master and apprentice are gone, the carp in the waterhole have become much more.

In addition, the only thing that has changed in the mountain stream is the half-collapsed thatched house, which used to be a bit exaggerated to say that it was a kennel, but now that I look at it, I am afraid that the dog does not want to stay in it.

It took three days, and in addition to restoring the thatched hut to its original state, Ergou also piled up a lonely small tomb outside the thatched hut.

According to Master's last words, Ergou came to the southeast corner of the thatched house, which was full of books that his master had asked him to read but had never read seriously.

He used to be afraid of reading and writing, more than the boring meditating of meditating on his knees, but now he decided to pick them up and read them.

After clearing the pile of books, Ergou dug out a wooden box from the corner, and there was nothing in it except a letter sealed with fire paint.

took out the letter, and there were six words written on the envelope of the entrance: apprentice Fuyu Qingqi, and looking at the six extremely ugly but familiar fonts, Ergou was a little distracted, and then turned his head to look at the miserable grave outside the door.

Ergou took the letter and sat down cross-legged beside the tomb, and it was not until a quarter of an hour later that he opened the letter, which had been written long ago.

"Ergou, when you see this letter, the master is no longer there, but it doesn't matter, I believe that you can still live freely even if you don't have the master! Ergou, the first thing the master wants to tell you is not to think about avenging me, it's not that I don't believe that you can't compare to Wang Jianqing, that bad old man like me, but because the teacher feels that it's not necessary, this is the grievance that my Wang family has accumulated for hundreds of years, and now when it comes to my generation and Wang Jianqing, there should be a break, and the master is the one who is destined to be broken! ”

Seeing this, Ergou seemed to think of the stubborn old man who held a sword on the beach in the East China Sea and did not retreat.

"Could it be that if you say that you make a decision, you must have to pay for your life!"

"Ergou, what the teacher is going to tell you next is your life experience, you were originally a member of the Jiang family, a second-rate family in Longyou County, Bianzhou, but for some reason you were killed by the Dark Pavilion, and it was your third uncle Jiang Ziyan who took you out, and when I arrived, he had died in the hands of the Dark Pavilion ghost, and he was seriously injured when he saved you for the teacher, so he couldn't kill those murderers for you, until later I wanted to find out the enemy for you, but I felt that these things were better for you to do in person, so I gave up, Ergou, if you are not happy with Master's approach, you don't blame Master。 ”

Reading the letter to this place, Ergou suddenly clenched his fists, he had just experienced the pain of losing his teacher, and now he suddenly heard of the disaster, and he also knew who the indirect murderer was, to say that Ergou didn't want to take revenge, unless he became an emotionless wood.

But then he remembered that when he was still in the East China Sea, he had promised the master that after knowing his hatred, he would first calm down and cut down the tree with a wooden knife for three days!

Laying down the letter, he went to the hundredth tree he had cut down, and found the wooden knife that he had discarded at the time.

The wooden knife has become very decayed after a year of wind and rain, and now let alone using it to cut down trees, it is afraid to break it just by gently waving it in the air.

Ergou gently picked it up and poured a trace of internal force into it, and he could clearly feel the veins in the wooden knife that had long since dried up, just like his master's dry face at the beginning.

Returning to the place with the wooden knife and sitting down, he took out the master's letter and continued to look at the position he had just taken.

"Ergou, maybe the master won't teach you to lift the sword directly, because whether it's sword righteousness or sword qi or others, you have to rely on yourself to comprehend, for sword practice, you don't have to resist because of this, Master believes that whether you practice knife or sword, you will have a great future, and you can walk out of a path that belongs to you. Ergou, I was going to reach out and touch your head here, but I don't think there is a chance, so I can only think about it while I am holding the pen now!"

Ergou's eyes began to turn red again, and his hands holding the letter began to tremble slightly.

The last part of the letter is to talk about the name of Ergou, and the old man said the same when he was dying, when his heart was full of hatred, he gave Ergou a name of sword revenge, but later after gradually understanding the way of the sword, he changed the name of sword revenge to Fuyu.

Jiang Fuyu!

The end of the letter ended in a fluster, as if he had been disturbed in the process of writing the letter, and it was clear from the old man's hasty ending that he still had a lot to say.

But this small piece of letter paper can bear the old man's nagging for the rest of his life, and if he is willing to say it, even if it takes another lifetime, he can't finish it.

After reading the letter, Ergou regretted a little, in this mountain stream, no one except him would bother the old man who wrote the letter, he didn't know what he was doing at that time, but if he knew that this thief old man was writing a letter, he would have been standing at the door and not going in, even if it was a lifetime.

Ergou carefully folded the letter and put it in his arms, except for the Kunwu sword and the bronze finch sword that he was not qualified to mention now, this was the last thing his master left him.

In the mountain stream, next to the waterhole, in the thatched house. Young man, sit next to the grave, in the mound of graves is my hometown...

Early the next morning, Jiang Ergou, who had been sitting by the grave all night, picked up the rotten wooden knife and came to the side of a big tree.

Raise your hand!

"Smack!"

The sound was not the sound of a wooden knife breaking, but the sound of the tree falling.

The power of this knife is very great, unlike what the current Ergou can cut out, but this can probably be regarded as venting all the grievances in Ergou's heart since the death of the master.

If the previous Ergou still had a home to speak of, then now he has completely become a poor homeless person.

For the next three days, Ergou stood there and cut down trees, except for the time to eat and rest, just like he had when he was a child, but except for the first knife, each of his next knives lost the power of the first one.

At the last moment of the third day, he cut down the eighteenth tree after returning to the mountain stream, and according to his master's words, if there was still no way for his heart to calm down by this time, he could go out of the mountain to take revenge.

Carrying a wooden knife and panting, looking at the appearance of the second dog, he didn't seem to be able to understand why the master didn't let him take revenge.

"Master, you yourself know that you have to take responsibility, do you want your disciples to stay in this broken mountain stream for the rest of their lives!"

Ergou's heart twitched inexplicably, he seemed to be about to lose control of himself, and wanted to rush out to find the enemy to take revenge, and he even thought that one day he would go to that Wang Jianqing to re-theorize the theory, but he still stopped.

The wooden knife fell to the side, and Ergou fell to the ground in pain, although his nails had been inserted into his flesh and oozing blood, but he did not feel any pain.

"Master, although I still don't understand why you didn't let me take revenge, I know that you let me cut down trees for three days mean that you don't want me out of the valley, although the disciple doesn't understand but doesn't believe that the master will harm himself, as long as the disciple doesn't want to understand for a day, he won't get out of the valley for a day!"

"Let's go!"

The two people who had been following Jiang Ergou closely to the outside of the valley also saw this scene.

And after seeing Jiang Ergou, who looked like a mad demon, Lin Cangsheng suddenly said to Mo Ruyue.

"I'm not at ease!"

Mo Ruyue looked at Jiang Ergou, who was crawling on the ground and looked very painful, shook his head and said.

"You still don't know about their master and apprentice, as long as Jiang Ergou didn't rush out at that moment just now, he won't come out before he really understands it. ”

After Lin Cangsheng finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Mo Ruyue, who was anxious, and took the lead in raising his feet and walking towards the outside of the valley!

"This pair of masters and apprentices, whether in terms of encounter or fate, they are so similar, but in the same way, they are so pitiful!"
