Chapter 259: So death is a terrible thing

Human death is always lonely, no matter how long the dying person has lived, no matter whether his life is successful or beautiful.

Because he will eventually face the world after death alone, no matter how many people and things he has experienced in his life, there is nothing that can accompany him through the journey ahead.

He may have a fortune but he will not be able to take a penny with him when he dies, he may be able to call friends, but he will have to close his eyes alone, he may be able to put on a lamp, but in the end all he can see will be darkness.

Death is always lonely, often accompanied by the pain of losing everything. So people are afraid of death, of what they have gained in a lifetime, and of losing one thing after another.

But there are always people who are unwilling to be lonely, and how to make their death seem more meaningful, so that people remember themselves, seems to be a good way.

Gongsun Yangzhi is already an old fellow, so old that almost everyone has forgotten about him.

Although he also used to crawl in the rivers and lakes and gained a reputation. But now, no one in the rivers and lakes will mention his name anymore.

In other words, most of the people in the rivers and lakes of his generation have gone up and down in this mighty river, lake and sea, and disappeared.

But Gongsun Yangzhi is unwilling to be lonely, he happens to be a person who is unwilling to be lonely, he doesn't want to die silently in the corner of this river and lake like this.

He wanted to die a more meaningful, more intense death.

Even if he will be forgotten in the end, at least when he dies, he wants everyone in the rivers and lakes to remember his name.

remembered that he, an old guy, had also left his own traces in this river and lake.

He didn't want to die in people's oblivion.

So after he confirmed that his death was approaching, the first thing he did was to spend two full years to open a secret passage in the palace prison.

In terms of the kung fu of closing his breath, he does have few opponents in this Jianghu.

Then he scattered all his family wealth and asked Mr. Wan Jin to buy ten copies of the golden recipe secret medicine that could restore the martial arts of the wasted.

What he wants to do, in fact, is very simple, he wants to set off a monstrous storm with a group of people who have long been forgotten by this Jianghu.

Mr. Wan Kim is right, he is a madman, a person who is not uncommon, driven crazy by this world.

Because he couldn't understand why people had to die with nothing.

He wasn't afraid of death, he just experienced what it was like to be a human being, so he didn't want to be a ghost.

······

In July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but fortunately, a few heavy rains have washed away the sweltering heat of the day a few days ago.

Li Si sat in his village drinking herbal tea, looking very leisurely, and recently he made a lot of money by helping people do the business of delivering letters.

I have to say, this is really a good idea, why didn't he think of it earlier. After all, with his light skills, where others can travel back and forth for a few days or even a dozen days, he can walk back and forth in less than half a day, and that is still the situation when he wanders around for a while.

And now, his life is much more leisurely, and when there is no letter to send, he can still sit in the Zhuangzi and rest for a while.

After solving the financial crisis in Zhuangzi, Li Si sent Li Huiwen, the third child who liked to read, and Li Mu, the sixth child, to study in a nearby school.

As for the other few who are not angry, they let them practice if they like to practice martial arts, anyway, with him, it will not be that they will become white people who can't read a single word.

The novelty is that Zhang Shan actually likes to paint. Upon learning of this, Li Si taught him some simple techniques. He learned really well, at least much better than people like Li Si who could only draw and couldn't think. In the future, even if you can't practice martial arts, with such a skill, you shouldn't starve to death.

On the other side of the compound, Su Hongluo was teaching a few children to squat and walk.

Looking at the bamboo stick she held in her hand, even if she had barely smoked it, the children were stunned and didn't dare to move. Let the beads of sweat the size of beans drip down, wetting the clothes on his body.

If you want to talk about why Su Hongluo is here, it has to start from that day, after she left the Qinglou.

After listening to the story of Li Si and his wife, the first thing Su Hongluo did when he came home was to tell his father that she didn't want to get married, to put it bluntly, she just wanted to die alone.

Her father was puzzled at first, and then began to persuade her, but when she failed, he took her mother and her brother to persuade her.

After several days of persuasion, the dissatisfaction of both sides finally broke out two days ago.

Su Hongluo had a big fight with her father, then left the house and temporarily defected to Li Si's Wenlai Villa.

In her words, she just wanted to calm both sides down. After seven or eight days, she would go home and talk to her father.

Considering that she was still very sensible and had paid, Li Si let her stay temporarily. Anyway, it's only a short stay of seven or eight days, and Wenlai Villa is not without guest rooms.

So, Su Hongluo stayed here for the time being.

Li Si didn't have anything to worry about this, after all, now Su Hongluo wouldn't pester him to say anything about proposing.

But Su Hongluo's arrival really hurt this group of children in the villa.

Because she didn't want to eat idle meals, Su Hongluo asked Li Si if she could temporarily hand over the matter of teaching the children martial arts to her.

Perhaps thinking that his usual discipline was indeed a little too lax, Li Si thought about it for a while and agreed.

And just like that, the dark years for the children came.

Su Hongluo is a disciple of a general, and the way she teaches people martial arts is naturally mostly a method in the army. More than strict, not enough human affection. Even though she has relented, the children are still miserable by her training. Fortunately, Su Hongluo has always been very measured and has never injured a child.

It should be an order, and they will rest when they tie a stick of incense.

Su Hongluo finally left the compound, walked to the side of the courtyard, and sat down beside Li Si.

"Hey, this weather, it's really hot. While complaining about the sweltering sun, Su Hongluo picked up the teapot and brought herself a cup of herbal tea.

"Is this really okay?" Li Si asked with a wry smile as he looked at the sweaty children in the yard.

"Do you want them to rest first, the sun is enough to shine. ”

"Just be soft-hearted. Su Hongluo glanced at Li Si: "Wait for none of them to succeed in the future, see who will give you a pension." ”

"Does it have anything to do with the retirement of the elderly?" The smile on Li Si's face was even more helpless, but he didn't insist anymore, shook his head and sighed.

"Well, since they have been handed over to you, it is up to you to do so. ”

"Isn't that it. Su Hongluo drank all the tea in his hand in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said.

"My father said that only when you suffer hardship can you become a master, and some of his old man's sayings are still desirable. ”

"Then why don't you listen to him and go find a husband?" Li Si raised his brow and asked undeniably.

This is also the question he has been wanting to ask recently, this girl is so good, why does she suddenly want to be lonely and grow old.

"Hmmm······" Speaking of this topic, Su Hongluo's brows furrowed again.

I saw her groan for a while, half loud, and then looked sideways at Li Si and said.

"Don't blame me for being outspoken, I just don't want to be like you. ”

Li Si was stunned for a moment and asked with some puzzlement.

"What I look like. ”

Su Hongluo lowered his eyebrows, and after a few breaths, he slowly put the cup in his hand on the ground, and said with a long breath.

"I don't want to meet someone who is cherished and then lose him. ”

It must be admitted that people are always afraid of losing, and sometimes they are even afraid of not having it.

Su Hongluo has not experienced any cherished feelings, but she looked at Li Si's appearance, but she was inexplicably glad that she had not experienced it.

She is also a person who is afraid of losing, and in this life, she is destined to go to all of them one day.
