Volume 2: Nanke's Dream Chapter 17: The Past
The county guard replied.
Di Ao released the carrier pigeon in his hand, he spread out the paper, he recognized the handwriting on it, it was the staff surnamed Li, the letters of the county guard were written by him, he had seen it many times, naturally it was impossible to admit the mistake, and the end of the letter was also stamped with the seal of the county guard, it was definitely impossible to be fake.
So Di Ao looked at the letter, his face turned pale, and his hands trembled.
I saw that there was a passage written on it:
"Di Zhu took office for three years, conscientious, and deeply loved by the people of Chenya County, but Nian Ru is too hard, and the matter of exterminating Hongmen is not troubled by Di Zhutou, and now you have paid your official hat and returned to your hometown. β
Returning to the hometown?
It's a joke.
Di Ao couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the letter.
What is the reason for all this I have done? I support justice, I try my best, I try my best to make this world better, but what is it in the end?
Except for one wound, there is only one empty room left.
A person's strength is too small, and the so-called parasitic mayfly in the sky and the earth is a drop in the ocean, which is probably Di Ao's state of mind at this time.
With the strength of one person, how can he compete with the way of this world?
It's like that little glimmer of light, which will eventually be swallowed up by darkness.
Di Ao smiled coldly, but a tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
βββββββββββββββ
There is nothing more fun and pain in life than you can never know what will happen in the next second.
For example, Lao Bai.
He took off the hat from his head and looked silently at the young woman inside the low wall.
Sitting in the courtyard, there is a feeling of being separated from the world.
Obviously, a few days ago, it was so poor that even rats didn't want to come in, but now it has everything it needs, and it seems that there is nothing missing.
Although she still wanted to do those jobs, the rich wives who often called her to mend and wash her clothes suddenly changed their attitudes towards her, saying things like "You are really blessed", "Why do you still do these rough jobs?" and "Remember to come back after the boy is gone".
Obviously, they misunderstood something, and Lili wanted to defend herself, but no one believed it, so she had no choice but to go back to her small courtyard, move a bench, and take advantage of the good weather in the past two days to bask in the sun.
I don't know how long I haven't experienced such a leisurely day.
Thinking like this, her nose was sore, and tears were about to fall.
I don't know when a young man in white stood behind him.
I saw Luo Liangqiu patting her shoulder, and when Lili subconsciously turned around, he saw that Lili's eyes were a little red.
So Luo Liangqiu smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Lili?"
Lili hurriedly stood up, clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands, lowered his head, and hurriedly said, "Feng ...... The wind blew my eyes a little dry......"
"So that's ......" Luo Liangqiu looked at the sky, but where did the wind come from?
He didn't hold on to it boringly, so he said: "Then let's go into the house, today I asked Xiao Liuyue to go to the east of the city to buy a roast chicken, that day with you to send Grandpa Bian, I smelled the fragrance from afar, don't worry, I don't have any other skills, but if I say something delicious, then it must be delicious, come and taste it." β
Lili nodded and smiled: "Okay." β
Luo Liangqiu walked towards the house, and only then did he raise his head, looking at the back of the young man in white, and couldn't help but think wildly.
Luo Shaoxia is really a good person.
If you can be a pair with Luo Shaoxia as they said......
Tears rolled in her eyes.
It's a pity that I don't deserve him......
What should I do if Luo Shaoxia is gone?
Just as some people will eventually part.
Lili wiped her tears and was about to walk like a house, but she turned around in a ghostly way.
Just as some people will see each other again.
She saw Lao Bai.
I saw Lao Bai's slightly white hair, Lao Bai's face full of hideous scars, Lao Bai's somewhat rickety figure, and Lao Bai was also looking at himself.
What kind of eyes are that?
Strange and yet familiar.
Where's the familiarity?
She remembered her father's long black hair, her father's delicate face, her father's tall and majestic figure, and her father's eyes looking at her, gentle as water, full of love.
The figure of the father seems to have crossed time and space, overlapping with Lao Bai's figure.
Lili shed a tear, rushed out like crazy, she just pushed the door open, and she didn't see it at a glance, and the old white person was gone.
Luo Liangqiu stopped, turned around, and just stretched out his hand to ask what was wrong with Lili, Lili leaned on his arms before he could stand firmly.
Luo Liangqiu could clearly feel Lili's cry and her body trembling.
Her heart was trembling, too.
Luo Liangqiu's heart also trembled.
This has been the case more than once, and this time I feel the same way.
He couldn't imagine how a person could be so sad, what kind of past shaped the divorced girl?
So he hesitated, stretched out his hand, touched her head, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
You won't admit your mistake if you leave it.
Even if you don't know what Lao Bai has experienced, she has lost her former demeanor, and even people can't believe that person is the former swordsman hero, but if you recognize it, she won't admit it.
All the heartaches, grievances, pains, and resentments over the years have crushed the heart of separation in an instant, like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.
She told her story as if she was venting.
βββββββββββββββ
The story begins three years ago.
Lao Bai is not Lao Bai yet.
His name is Liu Jingtong, he started practicing swords at the age of six, and he found his own kendo, when he was eleven years old, he was successful in swordsmanship, and at the age of twenty, he found the first swordsman of Nanshangguo in order to find an opponent to break through himself, and he fought six battles in Chaotian City, and lost all six games, but he injured one of the arms of the first swordsman of Nanshangguo, and was praised.
You must know what a great honor it is for a swordsman to be praised by the first swordsman of Nan Shangguo? Not to mention that Liu Jingtong is only twenty years old, and his future is immeasurable, and at the same time, he has also broken through to the third realm of martial arts, and the scenery is infinite for a while, who in the rivers and lakes does not respect him as a Liu hero?
When he was twenty-five years old, he met him, the lover of his life, and then fell in love and became a relative.
The following year, Liu Jingtong gave birth to a child, a daughter, that is, divorce.
When Lili was just five years old, the great war between the Northern Qi and the Southern Shang broke out, and Chenya County was a place bordering the Northern Qi Border Pass, and the family was forced to live in seclusion in the mountains.
Ten years have passed, Liu Jingtong is already thirty-six years old, and Lili is also fifteen years old, and he is becoming more and more delicate.
At this time, Liu Jingtong found that the world seemed to have changed, and he could see robbers and bandits everywhere, hooligans and bullies, burning, killing and looting, which was all evil, so he used to be a hero, and he couldn't hold back his chivalrous heart, so he planned to go out of the mountain again, do his best to do something for this world.
But Liu Jingtong was very hesitant, he was no longer the young and vigorous young man he was back then, he was alone and had nothing to worry about.
With a virtuous wife and a well-behaved and obedient daughter, this is a happy family, and once he joins the WTO, how many enemies will he provoke......
Mrs. Liu gave him great encouragement, and Lili still remembered what his mother said to his father: "Go and bring a glimmer of hope to this world." β
In the face of his wife's support for him, Liu Jingtong was very moved, so he picked up the sword that had been sealed for many years again, and became a hero again, eliminating violence everywhere, and the name of Liu Daxia spread again on the rivers and lakes, the wicked were frightened, and the good people raised their hands to cheer.
Recently.
About two years.
At this time, the boundary of Chenya County was completely Hongmen's, and Liu Jingtong inevitably launched a conflict with Hongmen.
So, Lili still remembers that it was an afternoon.
That's a ...... Miserable afternoon.
Hongmen found out the location of Liu Jingtong's family, and the gang leader Yin Qiu visited in person and killed her mother in front of Lili.
Lili still remembers that before her mother died, she looked at herself gently as always, there was only reluctance in her eyes, she also wanted to watch her daughter grow up slowly, tell her the truth of living in this world, let her daughter be a good person, and then watch her become her own son, and experience the feeling of being in the same house for three generations at once, enjoying her old age and family happiness.
It's a pity that Mrs. Liu will never have this opportunity.
She used the last strength of her body to say the last two words: "Run......"
She wanted her daughter to live.
Yin Qiu did not kill Lili, but he was not moved by this touching mother-daughter relationship.
So what about after that?
Afterwards......
βββββββββββββββ
Lili leaned on Luo Liangqiu's chest, clutched his shirt tightly, and muttered excitedly: "He ...... me He ...... me."
After that, I couldn't cry.
Luo Liangqiu listened to this tragic story silently, and his face was calm.
Is it really calm? At least it looks calm.
......
Lao Bai hid in an alley, with no expression on his face, his head bowed, but tears flowed down one by one.
Three years ago, when he returned home, there was only one tomb in the courtyard, and he was crying hoarsely, and then went to Hongmen to take revenge.
Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention how many Three Realms martial artists there are in Hongmen?
He was defeated, he was seriously injured and dying, but he didn't die, he couldn't die, he fought his way out of the encirclement, and injured Yin Qiu, relying on the unimaginable will of ordinary people to survive.
I treat the world like this, and how does the world treat me?
There was only hatred left in his heart, and he scratched all his facesββββ because the people of Hongmen had seen his face, he began to hide his name, came to Maple Leaf City, and reluctantly opened an inn with all the remaining belongings.
During the long wait, he learned a swordsmanship, just to kill Yin Qiu.
So the original Liu Daxia, the world-famous swordsman, became Lao Bai.
Because Mrs. Liu's surname is Bai.
It's been three years, and I finally have this opportunity.
He came to the city of urns.
He didn't expect to see his daughter again here, the face he could see in his dreams every day, he couldn't admit it.
This man, who has been beautiful for half his life and down for half his life, closed his eyes, raised his head, and let the snot and tears flow down.
He was bent on death.
Ask Yin Qiu to die.
Beg yourself to die.
"Die without regrets......"
