Chapter 43 "The Rising Sun"
At night, Aunt Yun went down the mountain first, leaving Zhou Chenhai in front of the tombstone.
She knew that the boy must have a lot to say to his father. She left quietly, undisturbed.
Zhong Yujian couldn't rest assured, and pretended to go down the mountain, but secretly sat behind a rock not far away, quietly guarding.
He has been an orphan since he was a child, no one can understand loneliness better than him, and his life can be so stable and happy, all because of Du Yuanqing and Zhou Chenhai, who sat alone in front of the grave.
............
The night is quiet and the moon is high. In front of the lonely grave, the young man sat alone. The cold moonlight wrapped his thin body, but it couldn't wrap the sadness in his heart.
He quietly thought about what kind of person his father and mother were.
A couple, two chivalrous.
When he was young, he was chivalrous and righteous, helping the world and saving the people. Righteous and heroic.
When he was middle-aged, for the sake of his family, he shouldered the burden on his shoulders, guarded the ghost seal hidden in the ground, put aside his chivalrous name, and was willing to live in seclusion.
Before dying, you should stay away from the village, do not affect the people, respond to the battle in a chic manner, and never compromise on everything.
Such a heroic couple ended up buried in the mountains.
They left like this, leaving the young Zhou Chenhai behind. They have been the heroes of others, and who will be the heroes of their sons?
............
Zhou Chenhai muttered to himself.
"Father, mother, do you remember the agreement you made with me? You said that as long as I keep the agreement, you will come to pick me up soon. ”
"You want me to live happily and be a man openly, you want me to refrain from all evil and do all good, and you want me to be strong in times of trouble, and not to give up lightly. Do you remember these promises?"
"You want me to keep the jade seal, and now it hangs on my chest. Do you remember those promises?"
"Dad, mother, have you seen it? I have fulfilled all these agreements! I have always kept them and never dared to forget them. Did you see that?"
"Dad, mother, can you come and pick me up?"
............
"You guys, why don't you come. ”
............
Zhou Chenhai was still sitting, lonely. Grief and resentment were entangled in his heart, making his eyes red.
"It's you, not me, who didn't keep the promise. ”
"You left me behind. You are so cruel. You'd rather hide in this narrow tomb than come back to me. ”
"You'd rather leave me alone in this world to survive and be wronged, than see me again!"
"You'd rather I be ridiculed in the future, and be said to be a wild child without a father and mother, than care about me anymore!"
"That's my parents. I'm just a kid that no one wants. ”
............
"I'm an orphan. Hey, hey, I'm orphaned!hahahaha!"
............
In the quiet night, Zhou Chenhai's crazy laughter echoed, lingering in the air, with endless desolation.
Sudden joy and anger, laughing and crying, like drunk, like crazy.
This boy, who was not yet 14 years old, experienced grief that ordinary people had not experienced in decades.
Not far away, Zhong Yujian leaned against the rock, listening to Zhou Chenhai's words and listening to his laughter, his heart was extremely touched.
He had never felt the love of his parents, and his loneliness and loneliness lingered from beginning to end. He always suffered in silence and never mentioned it to others.
But now these can't match the pain of the young man in front of the grave, who once had it and lost it.
Two young people, at the age when they should be happy, live a tormented life, and they don't have time to enjoy the youthful spirit, but they have already experienced the vicissitudes of life.
............
In the early morning, the mist is thick and the air is cold. The green grass and flowers were covered with dewdrops. In the misty mist, Aunt Yun gradually walked up along the mountain road.
She saw Zhou Chenhai, who was still sitting in front of the grave, and Zhong Yujian, who was standing quietly not far behind him.
Everything in front of me is the same as yesterday, as if nothing has happened.
Aunt Yun came closer, and suddenly, she saw a pool of blood on the ground, and saw Zhou Chenhai's clenched fist covered with scars.
She sighed in her heart, what happened last night after all, but she still didn't ask.
After a sleepless night, Zhou Chenhai's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of tiredness.
The Zhong Yujian standing behind him also stayed awake all night, but he was still silently guarding.
Aunt Yun said softly: "Xiaohai, let's go down the mountain, you haven't slept all night, it's time to rest." ”
Zhou Chenhai did not respond and remained silent.
Aunt Yun wanted to step forward, but this time she was stopped by Zhong Yujian.
"Let him be quiet for a little longer. ”
............
Time passed, the mist gradually dissipated, and the morning sun pierced through the clouds and slowly rose. The cloud lake is still the same, and the golden waves are surging.
Zhou Chenhai finally stood up, turned his head, and said to Aunt Yun, "Aunt Yun, let's go." The voice was hoarse.
Aunt Yun said, "Okay, in a few days, we will come back and worship your father and mother." From now on, whenever you want, we can go up the mountain to visit them. ”
Zhou Chenhai nodded lightly. He took a step and walked slowly down the mountain, his exhaustion making his steps stagger.
Seeing that he was about to walk down the flat slope, all of a sudden, he stood still.
At this moment, no one knew what he wanted to do.
I saw him slowly turn around, looking at the graves that were clinging closely, and his eyes finally stopped in front of his father's tombstone.
The past is as vivid as a picture scroll, his father's voice and smile seem to be right in front of him, and the broken bamboo flute inserted in his waist is full of warmth, as if he has just taken it from his father's hands.
There are many heroic deeds in this world, some of them eradicate evil, some kill demons and exorcise demons, some are generous to the world, and some sacrifice themselves for the country. It's rare to hear that they are both chivalrous and competent parents.
In the cold graves, buried are the heroes and chivalrous warriors who saved the people in the economic world. But many years from now, who will remember them except their children? Who cares? Will those who have been saved remember the heroes of the past?
Zhou Chenhai didn't know the answers to these questions, let alone dare to think about them.
He just looked at his father's tombstone quietly, with tears in his eyes.
Time passes slowly......
"Poof!"
Suddenly, he fell to his knees, trembling.
Zhong Yujian and Aunt Yun just wanted to step forward to help him up, but they saw him kowtow respectfully three times towards his father's tombstone!
Solemn and solemn!
............
"Father, mother, the child has not let you enjoy your life in peace, it is the child who is not filial!"
He clenched the jade seal on his chest and said solemnly: "From now on, I will remember your entrustment and never forget it!
Zhou Chenhai didn't look up, and the tears of sadness, drop by drop, slammed heavily on the ground.
............
Aunt Yun looked at Zhou Chenhai, her eyes full of relief. This child has experienced great suffering and compassion at such a young age, but he can still keep his heart, which is really commendable.
At this time, Aunt Yun exclaimed, as if she had seen an incredible scene.
But in an instant, the flowers that were originally budding on the flat slope bloomed in an instant, decorating the entire flat slope with colorful decorations. The breeze blows, and the flowers sway, with a sweet fragrance.
This is Daddy's response to Xiaohai, who knows.
Zhou Chenhai looked at the delicate flowers blooming in front of him, couldn't hold back anymore, and cried loudly.
............
Behind him, a hand rested on his shoulder.
Zhong Yujian said: "The pain of losing someone you love, let us heal it for you!"
............
The morning sun on this day dyed the entire sky a fiery red that he had never seen before, beautiful and warm, just like Zhou Chenhai's heart at the moment.
This beautiful and immaculate sky is just around the corner. Just look up and you can see.
