Chapter 356 People in the rivers and lakes
The hall was eerily quiet.
Cifeng's stories are so rare that everyone listens to them with great fascination.
Although Ci Feng's description is straightforward, it does not prevent everyone from hearing the pain in his heart, and it is conceivable that the tsunami is the nightmare of his life.
However, not many of you have ever seen a big wave, let alone a tsunami.
Without similar experiences, it is difficult to empathize, but unconsciously, there is a little less anger and more pity in the eyes they look at Ci Feng.
Perhaps it is only in the face of such force majeure as nature that people's hearts can break down barriers and get closer to each other.
Ci Feng paused for a moment, collected his mood, and then continued.
"When I woke up, I was rescued by the Cardinals.
They said they found me on the reef and didn't find anyone else.
After learning about my situation, the Cardinal called me the lucky one and brought me to Zhongzhou.
They gave me a dock errand so that I could be self-reliant.
But it was so close to the sea that I could hear and see the ebb and flow of the tide every day, and I always remembered the tsunami.
During that time, I couldn't swallow and couldn't sleep.
In the end, I chose to leave and go deeper into Zhongzhou to help my mother see the land she longed for.
During this journey, I found that Zhongzhou is not necessarily very rich.
It's just that the people here are even more unwilling to admit defeat, and they will try their best to adapt to the environment with their own hands and wisdom.
If the land is too wet, then build a stilt house.
The rain pours all year round, so make the roof a slope.
I still haven't figured out how to fight the tsunami in my hometown and solve the farming problem.
But at least I have understood, I can rely on weaving, relying on the fire kang head, to survive the harsh winter.
So, I also know that only my hometown is always the most beautiful.
It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to take a look at it again. ”
Speaking of this, Ci Feng's eyebrows flashed with a moment of regret, but they were quickly filled with hope and joy.
"Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones in all kinds of misfortunes.
It was at that time that I met General Shi.
He made me feel the feeling of being at home in the world.
It was very comfortable to talk to him, it was easy to get along with him, and I was helpless and unfettered, so I recognized this person at that time and decided to follow him forever.
Joining the barracks is for him.
Fortunately, General Shi also treated me differently.
Not only did they include me under their command, but they treated me as if I were their own.
I also found a real home away from home.
Later, it was the matter of Dongying teaming up with Warat and several small states to invade Zhongzhou......"
Ci Feng didn't continue, because Luo Piaoling knew what happened next.
Xue Qinghuan straightened out his thoughts and asked, "That is to say, General Shi knows that you are from Dongying?"
Ci Feng said: "I know." When we first met, I was fishing a fish from the stream and preparing to slice it and eat it raw, and when the general was well-informed and knew that this way of eating had been eliminated in Zhongzhou, he asked me in private. ”
Xue Qinghuan glanced at Luo Piaoling, and said in his heart: "Among the survivors of Shifu today, Ci Feng is indeed older, and it is understandable that Luo Piaoling and these juniors do not know Ci Feng's past. ”
As if expecting everyone to speculate, Ci Feng added: "However, in the Shi Mansion, only General Shi knows my identity. ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "General Shi also deliberately helped you hide it?"
Ci Feng nodded and said: "At the beginning of the war, General Shi talked to me and asked me to avoid this battle, but I showed my attitude and was willing to shed blood and die for Zhongzhou to resist foreign aggression, even if the enemy was from my hometown. General Shi was hesitant, but in the end he let me participate in that battle. After more than three years of war, the hatred of the Dongying people in the Zhongzhou region has reached an unprecedented peak, and General Shi is worried that once my Dongying identity is known, it will be difficult for me to stand in the army, and secondly, I am afraid of my life, so he decided to help me keep this secret forever. ”
Xue Qinghuan let out a long sigh and said, "General Shi has not broken his promise. ”
Ci Feng raised his head slightly, looking at the lamp in the heights, the light of the fire was tall and bright, like the most important guide in his life, burning himself and illuminating others.
Ci Feng said solemnly: "No, the general is kind to me and reinvented, and he is my Ci Feng's reborn parents!"
Yu Le suddenly said loudly: "The Cardinal Sect didn't reveal your identity either. ”
Ci Feng smiled bitterly: "After all, I'm just a small person, and they won't put their minds on me." ”
Yu Le said: "No, no, as long as they know about it, you still have value." ”
Ci Feng was silent, but it was already a tacit.
Yu Le then said, "The Cardinal Sect is also kind to you. ”
Ci Feng said: "The grace of saving lives." ”
Yu Le said: "So, when the Cardinal Sect finds you, you will also repay the favor?"
Ci Feng said: "Yes." ”
At this time, everyone also understood the general situation of this betrayal scene, but they didn't know how to judge Ci Feng's actions.
Some people think that the details are not important, but some people must ask clearly.
Xue Qinghuan said: "This time the Cardinal Sect also found you?"
"Yes. Ci Feng pretended to smile, looked at Ruan Gu and Wei Wei, and continued, "I thought that taking them to the green waters, green mountains and field paths would make them relax, but I didn't expect that soon after I left Jiangning County, I was targeted. ”
Xue Qinghuan said, "What does the Cardinal Sect want you to do?"
Ci Feng said: "Make a deal." ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "What deal?"
Ci Feng said: "What we are doing, we will also send a message to them, if there is any trace of the deputy pavilion master, inform them in time." ”
Xue Qinghuan knew that what Ci Feng was talking about was related to Tingyu Pavilion, and she didn't plan to ask in detail, and said, "What benefits do they promise you?"
Ci Feng said: "Along the way, don't attack Xiaowei and Xiaoruan. ”
Xue Qinghuan was speechless for a while, and then said, "This is a threat!"
Ci Feng said: "But I can only agree." ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, that's the case, when facing the threat of people close to them, if they still have love in their hearts, they have no other choice.
This time, Ruan Gu couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and he lost his clothes in tears.
He also understood why Ci Feng would say that he failed to protect them and apologize to him.
Xue Qinghuan said, "However, the clues that Brother Ci gave to the Cardinal Sect seem to be extremely limited, especially in the matter of Xunfeng Valley. ”
Ci Feng said: "After all, he was already beside the deputy pavilion master at that time, and the information was a little briefer, and they could understand the difficulty." ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "Even if they are really invited, you must have other plans, right?"
Ci Feng threw a grateful look at Xue Qinghuan and said, "At least, I won't let anyone fall before me." ”
Yu Le said with a smile: "It's a pity that those stupid people of the Cardinal Sect didn't follow, but it was indeed us." ”
Ci Feng said: "At least everyone is still safe and sound so far. ”
Yu Le said: "That's not bad, but I'm still curious, why do you still count when you know that the black charcoal strip is a plan?"
Ci Feng said: "Xiao Luo, he is indeed very smart, but he is also something I have seen since I was a child, so I can naturally see some of his thoughts." I understand that he wants to prove that there are no ghosts in our cabinet through this, and blame all this on rumors such as you, but I can no longer deceive myself. ”
Xiao Luo, I haven't heard this name Luo Piaoling for a long time, and it still sounds so cordial now, but it is so far away, maybe I will never hear it again in the future.
Luo Piaoling no longer poured wine, his eyes were red, and he stared at Cifeng.
Ci Feng also looked back at him.
The strength of the wine did not disturb Luo Piaoling's judgment, but the pain that came from his mind made him more and more sober.
He could easily see that those eyes were full of blessings, he didn't expect Ci Feng to have already made a choice, and now, there was only one last question left in his heart.
Luo Piaoling said: "I have one last question. ”
Ci Feng seemed to be waiting for Luo Piaoling to speak, and he replied, "You say." ”
Luo Piaoling said: "Before that night in Shifu, did the Cardinal Sect look for you?"
"Yes. Ci Feng said frankly, he naturally knew that the night Luo Piaoling was referring to was the night of the attack on Shifu, and he went on to explain, "It's just that it happened two years ago, and in those two years, they came to me twice, and I refused their invitation on the grounds that each was his master. Maybe at that time, except for my identity as a Dongying person, they could no longer hold any of my lifeblood, so they didn't use it. Unexpectedly, later they would go and unite with other gangs to attack Shifu. ”
Ci Feng saw that Luo Piaoling did not respond, and said, "Xiao Luo, this may be the last time I will call you Xiao Luo." Do you believe me or not?"
Luo Piaoling slowly closed his eyes and said, "Letter!"
Ci Feng smiled, smiling stiffly.
He seemed to have gone back to more than twenty years ago, when he was at a loss for four or five children, and could only laugh awkwardly and stiffly.
It wasn't until he got acquainted with these children that he discovered their cuteness and gradually took care of them as his own.
Xue Qinghuan said: "Even if the truth is so, it can be summed up in just four words 'extenuating circumstances', I think Luo Gongzi has no intention of pursuing it, doesn't Brother Ci plan to turn back?"
Ci Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't go back, I've been guilty of a lot along the way." ”
Xue Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized the meaning of Cifeng's words, thinking that there would be no fewer requests on the way to the Cardinal Sect.
Yu Le smiled: "It seems that Brother Cifeng has no intention of dying?
Ci Feng smiled back and said, "The kindness of the Cardinal Sect, I can be regarded as having repaid it. For Shifu, I still owe a little, Yu Gongzi has repeatedly provoked our deputy pavilion master, and the deputy pavilion master is not expected to compare, but I don't plan to let you go!"
Yu Le smiled even more happily and said, "Hey, I don't plan to leave this Liuhe Building tonight, does Brother Cifeng want to do it here?"
Ci Feng said: "Shifu Erlang, only standing to die, not kneeling to live! Since there is no chance to fight on the battlefield, I heard that Yu Gongzi has been good at skill in recent years, and this Liuhe Building is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so it is just for me to try the depth!"
