Chapter 81: Father and Son
Looking up at Ling Qingniu in the early morning, he no longer had the momentum on his body just now, he was just an ordinary farmer working.
He knew in his heart that this was his father's test for him when he reunited with Ling Qingniu after a few years of separation.
"Young master, wash your hands first and wipe your face. "The old man didn't know when or where he took the bucket of water and put it next to the early morning.
Seeing the water scooped out of the big clam shell by the old man, Ling Chen frowned, maybe the old man was old and dazzled, and the water in the clam shell was only enough to wet his hands.
However, Ling Qingniu, who turned his head and stood in the field in the early morning, was working hard, his hands and feet were covered with mud. He didn't say much, just took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom and wet it, first wiped the place on his face that had been licked by the two big yellow dogs, and then wiped off the dust on his hands, and then threw the silk handkerchief to the ground.
When the old man saw the silk handkerchief fall to the ground, he bent down with difficulty and picked it up with both hands and presented it to Ling Chen.
Waving his hand in the early morning, the old man sighed softly and took the handkerchief back into his arms.
Finally, Ling Qingniu removed all the weeds from this newly cultivated field, put the hoe on his shoulder, and walked towards the early morning, the last bit of sunset fell on him, as if to show the simplicity of the farmer.
I don't know how long Ling Qingniu has been working in the field, there is mud everywhere on his body, and even a lot of it on his face, probably when he wiped his sweat with his hands.
The old man still used the clam shell spoon to get out of the water, this time it was full, and after tilting slightly to let the water flow out, Ling Qingniu squatted down and rubbed his hands clean, and then held the water to wet his face, took the burlap that looked quite old in the old man's hand and began to wipe his face.
The old man slowly poured the remaining water from the bucket on Ling Qingniu's feet, and Ling Qingniu wiped his face while rubbing the soil off his feet.
Seeing Ling Qingniu's slow appearance in the early morning, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Father, why are you here?"
"Retreat and practice. Ling Qingniu carefully rubbed the burlap all over his face, even if he answered his son's question, he didn't stop the movements of his hands, and after rubbing for a while, he handed the burlap to the old man fairly, "Old Lei, you go down first." ”
The old man nodded, took the sackcloth and carried the empty bucket, and turned away slowly.
Ling Qingniu was only slightly clear, and the original appearance of the cropper disappeared, turning into Ling Qingniu with a face like a crown of jade, a kind expression, and no anger and self-authority.
Even though the coarse cloth clothes were still stained with mud, they could not stop the spirit of the person who wore them.
Just in an instant, the aura on Ling Qingniu's body, which was like thunder and clouds, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, turning into a middle-aged man who looked relatively young, energetic, and had a clean face.
Ling Yun was shocked, but he still had many doubts in his heart and asked, "Father chose to retreat in order to be able to surpass the Martial God, but the child doesn't understand, what kind of retreat is this?"
"I don't understand either, I just think it's the right thing to do. ”
I don't know how long the martial arts training platform has been abandoned, and this vibrant farmland, small ponds, chickens and ducks are in the same cage, can such a retreat surpass the martial god Mushu?
Ling Qingniu could see the puzzlement in his son's heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Transcendence? How can it be regarded as transcendence? Is it to surpass Mu Shu's martial realm or to surpass Mu Shu to save the entire Central Plains martial arts and save all the people of the Great Wei Dynasty? In the past, I also wanted to surpass him, but then I thought about it, in fact, it was just like that, everyone practiced martial arts and wanted to be the first in the world, but Mu Shu, the first in the world, was not tolerated by the world, which was really ridiculous. ”
"What's more, no one knows what the realm of the martial god is, and I'm afraid that there won't be a second one in the martial arts for that kind of character. In the first half of my life, I won a first place for the Ling family, and I don't want to bother to get another first place, even if I get it, it will become second, it is meaningless. ”
"But now there is going to be a second Martial God!"
After spending most of the day on Ludao in the early morning, Huang Guiyun's affairs in Licheng had already reached his ears.
Ling Qingniu's kind face was mixed with a bit of seriousness, and he lowered most of his eyes: "I told you before, don't go to the Martial God, but instead of listening, you also used the family boat to get the Martial God Sword back, which only added to the trouble." ”
"Father, who is the person on our ship?" Ling Qingniu mentioned mentioning the Ling family's giant ship, and asked another question that needed to be answered urgently.
"It's your third uncle. Ling Qingniu regained his amiable appearance.
"Third uncle?" Ling Chen had never seen this so-called third uncle, and the more doubts he asked, the more he asked, "Father, what is going on?"
Ling Qingniu sighed, and looked up at the sky that was about to completely darken with his back hand: "Things are actually not that complicated, my father used to be a member of the Demon Sect in the mouth of the world, and since you were born, my father has been thinking about how to let you grow up like a child from an ordinary family, so he has been creating the image of a righteous hero in front of you, and this is still not a long-term solution." ”
"Fortunately, in the face of national turmoil, the gap between good and evil in martial arts is not worth mentioning. I took the opportunity to change my name and surname for my father, and it is not a name change, in fact, when I was a child, your grandfather gave me a nickname called A Niu, fortunately, I was just a little person before, and everyone didn't ask me what my real name was when I went to the rivers and lakes, hahaha. ”
"People who can mix demons, some are forced to do so, some are willing, and it is very simple for those who are forced to be good again, and it is too difficult for him to be a good person again if he is willing to enter the demon. Your third uncle is like this, so I will order someone to build a huge ship, and the main purpose is also to make your third uncle appear less on the rivers and lakes. ”
"There are not many people in the current rivers and lakes who know what happened in the past, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, even if they appear in Lingyun Villa openly, no one will feel strange. After another generation or two, we can sit firmly in the first place in martial arts, and we can feel at ease under the spring for our father. ”
The father is the best role model for his son, and Ling Chen's role model since he was a child is also the upright Ling Qingniu, especially after the Ling family became the first master of martial arts, Ling Chen is even more demanding of himself by the standard of becoming a model of martial arts.
Now Ling Qingniu said to him, "I used to be a member of the Demon Sect"!?
This made Ling Chen a little unacceptable.
Ling Chen watched the last ray of light on the earth disappear on Ling Qingniu's body, he hesitated, hesitating whether he should ask his father about his previous "glorious deeds".
"People in the Demon Cult" are just a few words that are lightweight.
If Ling Qingniu is really an ordinary small character, few people can recognize him by changing his name and surname, but he needs to take advantage of the national turmoil when a large number of martial arts people died before he chose to start showing his face, and then in less than ten years, Lingyun Villa started from scratch and then became the first master of martial arts.
And the unfathomable martial realm......
Ling Chen's beauty also doesn't believe that her father is the kind of little person he says he says.
Ling Qingniu hugged the sluggish Ling Chen's shoulder and patted and shook it, and laughed, "Hahaha, it's okay. Father knows that these things are not so easy to accept, but no matter what, the future of the Ling family still needs you to bear it. You live here first, and after you think about your future plans, someone will help you handle everything, and let Lao Lei cook you a delicious meal for your father, by the way, we can have a drink between father and son, right?"
“...... I haven't seen you for a few years, have you grown taller again? Do you like chicken or duck? Huh...... No, chickens should be kept to lay eggs, ducks...... You can't eat the ducklings that have just hatched, and you can't eat the big ducks, so why don't we go vegetarian tonight?"
"......" Ling Ling looked at his father's heartache and was speechless.
“...... Actually, it's good to be vegetarian, people who are often vegetarians look younger, and you see I'm a good example. Not...... It seems that you are quite young now, oh yes, how old are you now? Did the uncle of the family give you Zhang Luo's family? No? I want to write a letter to tell them when I go back, and I am not in a hurry if it is not their son......
"Alas...... It's a pity that your mother left early and couldn't see her son become her own son, so the evil devils in this world can't go long...... Hey, as soon as you became a father, you felt that the atmosphere here was much better, shouldn't you raise a few more geese......? Or another day, I'll let Lao Lei catch two beautiful and come back, let them marry their daughters-in-law first......"
“......”
A few stars were already hanging in the night in a hurry, and the father and son and the two cheerful big yellow dogs followed behind them were really a happy scene.
