Fanwai (7) relief
In the early morning of the next day, Qingfeng Yuan was much more lively than usual due to the arrival of Li Zifeng and others, and the former Elders of Suyan Haiyi and Lu Shiqing also came to visit. Ouyang Ze looked at the lively courtyard, his mental state seemed to be much better, and he was sitting in the courtyard with great interest at this time, playing chess with his grandson Li Haoxuan.
The two grandparents held chess pieces in their hands, sometimes laughing, and sometimes fighting for a move. The warm sun spreads over the courtyard, forming a beautiful picture, like a painting.
Li Zifeng looked at it, and his heart was inexplicably heavy. He understood that Ouyang Ze was just holding on to a breath and finally enjoying the days of family reunion. Family?Li Zifeng sighed slightly.
Five days later, Ouyang Ze was bedridden, he forced himself to lean on the cushion, and looked at the figure who was busy for him with vague old eyes, no matter how his eyes wandered, but he always stared at one person, Li Zifeng.
Xu is busy footsteps made Ouyang Ze feel uncomfortable. He impatiently drove everyone away, except for Li Zifeng, but before he could say a word, he felt heavy eyelids and fell asleep.
Li Zifeng accompanied him silently, just like when he was sick when he was a child, Ouyang Ze was always by the bedside.
The night is deep, the breeze is not cold, the insects are chirping, and the moonlight is as quiet as water.
Ouyang Ze coughed and woke up from his sleep, Li Zifeng hurriedly helped, poured another glass of water and handed it over, "Are you awake?"
Ouyang Ze smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "If the teacher says that he is in good health, do you believe it?"
Li Zifeng was stunned, and met Ouyang Ze's eyes, Ouyang Ze's originally chaotic eyes were very bright at this time, as clear as a pool of water. Li Zifeng's heart was inexplicably tight.
"What's wrong with you?" Ouyang Ze looked at Li Zifeng sitting stupidly, and said angrily, "But I'm worried that if the teacher is gone, there will be no more people in your heart who you often hate?"
Li Zifeng came back to his senses, his eyes were red, "Master, disciple ......"
Ouyang Ze waved his hand, "You don't have to explain anything, it's all a sin created for the teacher, and the teacher should swallow the bitter fruit by himself." ”
Li Zifeng sniffed and held Ouyang Ze's hand stretched out to him, "Master, do you want to stop sleeping for a while?"
"Don't. Ouyang Ze's body was weak, but his hand strength was very strong, and he never let go of Li Zifeng's hand, he stared at Li Zifeng for a long time, staring with good eyes, with deep reluctance.
"For the teacher's sleep, I'm afraid I'll never see you again. ”
"Disciples will come to visit you from time to time, how can you ......?"
Although he has resented Ouyang Ze in his heart for so many years, there have been too many good memories between master and apprentice. Li Zifeng didn't want to believe it, this moment was coming. He grabbed Ouyang Ze's hand, trying his best to retain the last warmth.
Ouyang Ze smiled bitterly and said with a little complaint, "How many times have you really been here over the years?"
Li Zifeng was speechless, Ouyang Ze was right, every time he always came to visit during the New Year's holidays, and each visit was always more than half a day, so he left in a hurry on the grounds that the sect was busy with affairs, and it is no exaggeration to say that over the years, his son Li Haoxuan has been with Ouyang Ze longer than he has been with him.
Ouyang Ze continued, "You're right, your life experience has always been a big mountain between you and my master and apprentice, and you can't cross it anymore...... Ouyang Ze was melancholy in his heart, all full of deep regret.
Li Zifeng opened his mouth and wanted to tell the truth about Hu Ziyun's death back then, but seeing that Ouyang Ze was seriously ill, he couldn't say anything, only tears kept dripping.
Ouyang Ze's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he felt that the light around him seemed to be a lot darker, he tried to open his eyes and look at Li Zifeng, wanting to take one last look, "Time is not forgiving! Such a small child, now grows... It's so big, and it's getting more and more in charge. ”
"No matter what, the disciple ......" Li Zifeng's voice was choked and hoarse.
Ouyang Ze wanted to hold Li Zifeng's hand tightly, but found that he couldn't hold it anymore, he held up his last strength and said, "Zifeng, I have never regretted being a teacher... Picked you up at the foot of the mountain......"
Ouyang Ze closed his eyes, swallowed his last breath, and his hand slipped heavily from Li Zifeng's hand, and together with the last words, it smashed into Li Zifeng's heart like a stone, suffocating him. He understood that from now on, Ouyang Ze would only exist in his memory.
"Master!"
After a heart-rending call, Li Zifeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.
On the fourth day of the first month of the 14th year of Xuanyu, Ouyang Ze, the former head of the Hengshan faction, died of illness at the age of 61.
Li Zifeng, the head of the Hengshan faction, organized a beautiful funeral for Ouyang Ze on the 11th of the same month and was buried in Linling. All the former elders and the deacons and disciples in the Foreign Affairs Hall all returned to the door to worship.
In the following years, Li Zifeng would go to Ouyang Ze's grave in Linling to offer incense every year on Ouyang Ze's sacrifice day, and even stayed for a whole day, rain or shine. Now in its fourth year.
Li Haoxuan is nearly fifteen years old, and Qingyun is approaching the age of establishment, every time Li Zifeng comes, the two brothers will follow Xu Zining quietly behind him.
Dad didn't speak. Li Haoxuan sighed slightly, then looked at Qingyun beside him and asked, "Brother Qingyun, every year on my grandfather's sacrifice day, my father will come to stay all day, but he is in a daze all the time, why don't you say a word?
Li Haoxuan believes that when relatives go to the grave of the deceased, they have to accompany them to chat, talk about their hearts, or tell interesting things, but every time Li Zifeng comes, he just doesn't speak.
He also vaguely knew that something unpleasant must have happened between his father and grandfather, but every time he wanted to ask, Li Zifeng always diverted the topic, and so did Ouyang Ze. Both of them were tacitly silent on this matter. Li Haoxuan had no way of knowing, and then he simply stopped asking.
"I don't know, you better ask Uncle Ning!" Qingyun pointed the topic to Xu Zining.
He really doesn't know much, but vaguely knows that it's because of his background. Li Zifeng never mentioned it in front of him.
Xu Zining sighed heavily, looked at Li Zifeng's back, and felt melancholy and sadness in his heart, "The knot between the master and apprentice is completely opened, and your father can open his mind to chat with your ancestor." ”
The sky was slightly dark, and the cool breeze was rising. Li Zifeng looked at the sky and wiped the tombstone, "Master, it's not early today, and the next time the disciple comes to see you, I will definitely accompany you to have a good talk." ”
Li Zifeng turned around and saw that Xu Zining, Qingyun, and Li Haoxuan were accompanying him from a distance, and his mood suddenly became much more relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a good-looking smile.
At this time, the sunset burns half of the sky red, radiating brilliant colors to the earth.
