Chapter XVII

Just as Mu Sheng was worried, when Ah Gou said that he was going to leave "Taoyuan Village" and go to Kunlun to seek immortals, Blacksmith Feng was furious. He threw the bowl he was eating at the dog.

Fortunately, Ah Dog is still quite agile in reaching out and dodging the flying bowl.

"Shout, you kid is getting bolder. Dare to me. ”

Blacksmith Feng found a stick and walked towards Ah Gou. Ah Gou knelt on his knees and said bitterly: "Dad, I have never dared to go against your will for so many years. But this time I'm sorry for you. ”

Blacksmith Feng's stick was raised, he listened to Ah Gou's words, paused, and slowly put down the stick.

"It seems that you have really grown up and have your own opinions. ”

Blacksmith Feng shook his head and turned to leave. Ah Gou looked up, and he saw Blacksmith Feng's body limping. Ah Gou's nose counted, for so many years, he had never carefully examined Blacksmith Feng, and today, Ah Dog felt the old age of Blacksmith Feng. His rickety body, and the gray hair on his head.

Involuntarily, Ah Gou's tears flowed out. Before, Ah Gou's heart only thought that Blacksmith Feng had beaten him more than once. At this moment, Ah Gou remembered Blacksmith Feng's love for him. No matter how Blacksmith Feng beats him, he is still his father. Raising children to prevent old age, now, Blacksmith Feng is old, but he, the son, is going to travel far away. Thinking of this, Ah Gou felt very guilty in his heart.

"Daddy, I promise you, I'll be back soon. When the time comes, I won't go anywhere, I'll stay by your side and support you. Ah Dog said.

Blacksmith Feng turned around, pointed at Ah Gou with his finger, and said fiercely: "Today, if you dare to walk out of this door, you will no longer be my son." Our father-son relationship has been severed ever since. ”

Blacksmith Feng was really angry, and when he turned around, he accidentally twisted his waist.

"Ouch!!"

Blacksmith Feng only felt a piercing pain in his waist, and he couldn't help but scream. Ah Gou saw Blacksmith Feng holding his waist with one hand, and the look on his face was extremely painful. Ah Gou hurriedly ran over, stretched out his hand to help Blacksmith Feng, and said, "Dad, are you okay?"

"Fuck off. Blacksmith Feng pushed Ah Dog away.

Ah Gou could only watch in a daze as Blacksmith Feng walked to the side of the bamboo bed with difficulty and slowly lay down. Ah Gou walked over silently and stood beside Blacksmith Feng with his head bowed.

"I don't understand, your name is Ah Dog, did your kid's heart really let the dog eat? Lao Tzu broke one leg for you. Also, I carried you over the mountains and mountains to come here, do you know how hard it is? You are good, for the sake of a woman, you actually want to leave me? You say, are you worthy of your conscience by doing this?"

"Dad, you've also seen Rong'er, how cute she is. She is so kind, so simple, how can she die?" Speaking of the word "death", Ah Gou could no longer suppress the pain in his heart, he choked up and said, "Rong'er is only thirteen years old, she is still a child, Dad, I can't watch her die?"

"Fuck off. Blacksmith Feng said, "I don't want to see you now, you give me to kneel outside." ”

Ah Gou looked at Blacksmith Feng, the eyes of Blacksmith Feng who had been fascinated. He pondered for a moment, then turned to the outside. He knelt at the door of the house, he wanted to move Blacksmith Feng with his will, he believed that Blacksmith Feng was not a hard-hearted person.

When Blacksmith Feng woke up, it was already dark. He rubbed his aching waist, which was still a little painful, but much better.

"Ah Gou......" Blacksmith Feng was going to call Ah Dog to prepare dinner, but when he called out Ah Gou's name, he suddenly thought that he had just been angry with Ah Gou. Now, you can't call him, otherwise you will be too faceless.

Blacksmith Feng walked to the door of the room and saw a dog kneeling outside the door.

"What? Are you trying to blackmail me?" Blacksmith Feng glanced at Ah Gou and asked coldly.

Ah Gou didn't speak, he straightened his waist, raised his head, and looked at Blacksmith Feng stubbornly.

"Okay, you kid has a kind. I'll see how long you can hold out. Blacksmith Feng turned and entered the room, and he closed the door with his hand.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extremely large. It was too hot during the day, and Ah Gou only wore a single coat. At this moment, when the cold wind blew from the depths of the desert, Ah Gou felt the cold to the bone.

In addition to the cold, Ah Dog also has to endure the torture of hunger. For Mu Rong, Ah Gou hasn't eaten for two days. Before, because he had been worried about Mu Rong's life, Ah Gou didn't feel hungry. Now that he knows that Mu Rong has hope for life, Ah Gou's heart is relaxed, and he also feels hungry.

"It would be nice if someone gave me a steamed bun. Gou thought to himself.

After a while, Bai Ling ran over, and Ah Gou saw Bai Ling holding a steamed bun in his mouth. Bai Ling put the steamed bun in front of Ah Gou, then raised his head and looked at Ah Gou.

Ah Gou reached out and touched Bai Ling's head and said, "Bai Ling, you are so good, thank you." ”

Ah Gou picked up the steamed buns, took three or two bites, and the whole steamed buns were eaten. With the hunger of this steamed bun, Ah Gou felt that he could kneel all night.

"Bai Ling, let's go. Ah Dog said.

"Squeak!!" Bai Ling screamed and shook his head.

"Bai Ling, are you going to stay with me here?" asked Ah Gou.

Bai Ling nodded.

"Bai Ling, you're so good. Ah Gou touched Bai Ling's little head again. Bai Ling squatted on the left side of Ah Gou, his eyes staring at the door, looking very serious.

One man and one fox knelt down at dawn.

When Blacksmith Feng opened the door after dawn, he saw two statues kneeling in front of the door. The wind and sand overnight made Ah Dog and Bai Ling all sand.

"Do you still want to kneel?" asked Blacksmith Feng.

Ah Gou was originally sleeping lightly, but after listening to Blacksmith Feng's words, Ah Gou shivered, hurriedly opened his eyes, shook off the sand on his body, and said, "Daddy, are you talking to me?"

"You come in for me. After blacksmith Feng said coldly, he turned around and went back to the house.

Ah Gou didn't expect Blacksmith Feng to let him get up, so when he heard Blacksmith Feng's words, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly agreed to stand up, because he had been kneeling for too long, both of his knees were numb, and Ah Dog limped into the room.

Blacksmith Feng sat on the stool next to the table, and after Ah Gou entered the room, he stood in front of Blacksmith Feng, and Blacksmith Feng pointed to the stool opposite him and said, "Sit down." ”

"Hey!" Ah Dog agreed, carefully sitting on the stool designated for him by Blacksmith Feng.

"Hey, your kid's temper is becoming more and more like mine, and the thing I think is that the nine cows can't pull it back. Blacksmith Feng said with a sigh.

"I'm your son, of course like you. Ah Dog said.

Blacksmith Feng smiled, the smile on his face was very complicated.

"When I saw you, I remembered that when I was young, for the sake of a woman, I also had no hesitation and went to the soup and fire. Young people, they think love is everything. Blacksmith Feng said with emotion.

"Is that woman my mother?" asked Gou.

"Can you not interrupt me. Blacksmith Feng glared at Ah Gou and said angrily, "Last night, I also thought about it for a night, no matter how much I explain to you now, you haven't experienced it, for you, it's just an itch in your boots." Only when you fall in love and your head is bleeding, will you understand that in life, in addition to love, there are many things worth doing. ”

"I didn't save Mu Rong for love. Ah Gou said, "Even if I know now that Mu Rong will not be with me in the future, I will still save her." ”

"Since it's not for love, can you give me a reason?" asked Blacksmith Feng.

Ah Gou shook his head and said, "I can't tell you why. I just felt that if I didn't save Mu Rong, there would be no point in my life. ”

"Let's go. Blacksmith Feng said with a straight face.

Ah Gou looked at Blacksmith Feng, he had heard Blacksmith Feng's words, but he couldn't believe it. Then he asked, "Daddy, do you agree to let me go?"

"Remember, you kid, your daddy is waiting for you here. I'll give you three years, and within three years, you'll give me a roll. If we can't come back, our father-son relationship will be cut off. Feng Blacksmith said.

"Hey, Daddy. I know. Ah Gou got up, rushed to Blacksmith Feng, hugged Blacksmith Feng, and said excitedly, "Dad, thank you, thank you." ”

"Bai Ling, Bai Ling. Let's go, haha!!" Ah Gou walked to the door and saw Bai Ling smiling at him, Ah Gou bent down and grabbed Bai Ling, threw Bai Ling up excitedly, and caught it again. Again and again, Bai Ling was so frightened that he "squeaked", and Ah Dog laughed.

Blacksmith Feng prepared a bamboo basket for Ah Gou, in which were placed some dry food, two clothes, a pair of shoes, an umbrella, and some broken silver.

The next morning, Ah Gou put Bai Ling in a bamboo basket, he carried the bamboo basket, and when Blacksmith Feng said goodbye at the edge of the desert, Blacksmith Feng took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Ah Gou.

"Daddy, what is this?" asked Gou.

"Just open it and you'll know. Feng Blacksmith said.

Ah Gou took the handkerchief from Feng Blacksmith's hand and opened it carefully, and in the handkerchief was a long-lived lock, and the front of the lock read: Long life and 100 years old. There is a character drawn on the reverse side, and Ah Dog does not recognize that character. The longevity lock is made of dark iron, and the whole body is jet black, except for one foot that is bare.

Blacksmith Feng picked up the longevity lock and put it on Ah Dog's neck.

"Daddy, did you buy this for me?" asked Gou.

"This is something your mother left you, and you have to keep it safe. In the future, you may be able to use it. Feng Blacksmith said.

"Isn't what my mother gave me the same thing you gave me?" asked Agou.

Blacksmith Feng didn't answer Ah Gou's words, he hurriedly urged Ah Gou and said, "Let's go." Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of the 'Red Dust Canyon' before dark. Also, remember my words, people out there are very bad, and you have to think more than you can in everything. You can't have the heart to hurt people, but you can't have the heart to defend people. ”

"Daddy, I see. ”

Ah Gou knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Blacksmith Feng. Then, turn around and leave.
