Chapter 849: Bad Fate
Li Yunxin turned his face away and held on to the railing and was silent for a while. His gaze swept over the pedestrians in the street, and he saw all sorts of mortals.
There are masters and servants, friends, husbands and wives, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons - maybe every family has a different state of getting along. Some are willing, others are long and tormentary. However, the worldly ethics and morality, and even the conditions necessary for survival, still bind them together, so that they can only seek compromise and balance in various relationships.
Li Yunxin watched them come and go, but he remembered another word: siege.
Those outside the besieged city want to go in, and those inside the besieged city want to come out. This word should be rarely used to describe blood kinship. Because for mortals, from the day they were born in this world, they were already in the city, and there is no such thing as not being able to walk in.
Only those with such a peculiar background would be in the same peculiar situation of "being outside the city".
Actually, he really wanted to get in—at least so hard to get in.
He patted the railing lightly, turned his face and said, "It's not because of resentment. It's not willful. It's just that the values of the two of us are different. ”
"I have no problem with killing Jinpeng, but it is not okay to use such a thing as marriage as a pretense. That's my bottom line. Others, for example, if you ask me to talk to Chen Feng, I agree with this, and I want to do it now. Your apologies don't mean much to me. ”
He paused: "I see it." ”
Li Chunfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay." If you don't like that, we can do it another way. I just don't want to put you on the line. ”
"You and Jinpeng are in a head-on conflict, but nothing else is a trivial matter, but your safety is a major matter. Your demonic power comes from Netherworld, but you don't take advantage of it. Let's think about it again...... So you're safe. Once upon a time...... It's good to look away. I just don't want to make any more mistakes in the future. Both for you and for someone else. ”
Li Yunxin smiled: "I hope." ”
"So, let's talk about Chen Feng. Li Chunfeng had a magical power, and the wine on his face immediately faded cleanly, "Before you meet her, there are some things to say to you first." ”
"I've been in contact with her, so I know a little bit about her temperament. This person...... The mind is not deep, but what is terrible is her temperament. Li Chunfeng said slowly and in a low voice, "When you first see her, you will think that she is a woman with no scheming." Lively and cheerful, like those women in the mortal world who don't know the dangers of the world. But in fact, this man is decisive in killing and has an extremely cold temperament. ”
"Whether it was the original True Dragon, Jinpeng, or Shimizu Dao people, she used it. Perhaps at first they did retain some affection for them—such as affection, friendship. But once you have to abandon these feelings because of something, you will never have the slightest nostalgia. There are people in the world who are socially enthusiastic, but the next day they turn away and don't recognize people—she is similar. ”
Li Yunxin was slightly stunned. The Chen Feng in Li Chunfeng's mouth was something he didn't expect.
He had seen all the traces of her in the world before, such as those clumsy paintings, and he would have thought that the painter was a strange girl.
Later, when I read the diary she left in the jade slip, my impression changed. I think it should be a quirky, but kind and responsible.
Later, when he learned about Chen Feng's affairs from the people of Qing Shui Dao, this image became complicated in his heart. But I also know that this is due to her special social environment in the past - in fact, she is very much like the kind of person who is emotionally fishy, amorous and ruthless. This kind of person may have a chaotic private life, but he will have a certain sense of responsibility and morality when he does the right thing. Of course, it refers to the moral heart for some grand goal.
didn't expect Li Chunfeng's evaluation of her as "extremely cold temperament".
But when you think about it...... But it did not contradict the impressions he had previously drawn. When a person does things, there are always two sides: public and private. A person who is passionate, responsible, and moral in business, but extremely ruthless in personal affairs...... It's actually not uncommon.
It is even said that in his former world, the vast majority of those who held power were similar.
They can cry, hold your hand, say you can't bear it, and then call you to die.
He thought for a moment: "You mean, Chen Feng may not be good for me?"
"Just telling you to beware of that. Li Chunfeng looked at him seriously, "Everything we are thinking about now, whether it's yours or mine, is from your own perspective - to protect you, and then save the world." But with her, you're just 'someone else'. If there's a way to get a better outcome, I'm guessing she'll sacrifice you as much as a true dragon would. ”
"I've done it a few times, but I can't think of a better way than what we've thought of so far, but it's not necessarily a case. She's also a smart person...... You don't want to expose too much information to her – such as your temperament, your preferences. She'll hear all these things, but when she really sees you, she'll definitely figure it out. You have to be quiet. ”
Li Yunxin thought carefully for a while and said, "It sounds like your suggestion is quite reasonable. ”
Li Chunfeng shook his head and smiled: "Now that you are too supreme, I don't have anything else to think about." I just don't want the world to be ruined like me. So, let's wait. ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"In the past, when I contacted Chen Feng, she always had to reply every few days. Li Chunfeng said, "You have to stay in this Twin Tiger City for a few more days." I live in this restaurant, but I'll let you know as soon as there's news. Are you going to ......"
"I live there. Li Yun thought for a while, "Forget it." If I want to buy him a house, I'll just buy a new house. ”
Li Chunfeng immediately said, "I'll do this." Over the years, I have walked the world and met many people. In the past, people from Freemasonry and Mu Nanju could also use it, which was very convenient - the house where Yu Meng lives now, do you like it?"
Li Yunxin was stunned: "The owner of that house is a Freemason?"
"The people of Mu Nanju. If you like it, I want him to vacate it. Money will not be unkind to him. ”
It's not a difficult decision to make. Li Yunxin hesitated for a full breath before saying, "Okay." ”
Then he jumped down the stairs and fell into the street. At this time, he was already in use, and people saw him jumping from the third floor, landing on the ground like a fallen leaf, and seeing his handsome face that did not resemble a human being, and he was wearing clothes that were "expensive" and indescribable. But no one was surprised by this, as if he was just an ordinary passerby.
At most, someone glanced at it, but soon a voice in his head told him, "It's not a big deal."
Li Yunxin walked through the streets and alleys like this, and disappeared from Li Chunfeng's field of vision. He turned onto another street and walked slowly with the pedestrians. Finally stared at a father and son, and followed them.
It was a small, dark-skinned man dressed in coarse cloth, and a child of five or six years old. When Li Yunxin was five or six years old, he could already climb the cliff with Li Chunfeng, but this child was as thin as a stickman. The big head is on the thin neck, and there is a lack of curiosity about the people and things in the market. It's not the lack of cowering and timidity, but the sheer lifelessness of experiencing the torture of life and the hunger in the belly—just walking and living is already exhausting all the strength, so I don't have the energy to be curious.
In fact, many people in the world are similar.
It seems that even in this era, in this double tiger city, the father and son are having a bad time. Li Yunxin followed them five or six steps away, and could hear the words of the two of them clearly. The man took the child's hand and whispered to him as he walked.
What he said was probably "When you go to your uncle's and grandfather's house in a while, you have to call someone first." If you call someone, just stay on the side, don't touch things. If someone gives you something to eat, don't eat it, and ask you if you're hungry and say you're not hungry. When I asked your grandma, you said that your grandma was sick - I wanted to lend money to my grandma for medical treatment."
The child answered a few times, but his breath was weak. The man turned his face to look at him, picked him up, and walked away. But after only walking for a while, I sweated on my forehead - in such a cold spring season. Li Yunxin could see that his heart was beating extremely fast, and his arms trembled slightly, as if he was holding something heavy.
In fact, the child was skinny and skinny, probably weighing less than twenty pounds. It looked like the man was also weak and hungry.
After walking dozens of steps, I turned around and entered an alley. The first one in the alley is an ebony wooden door, with two pairs of small stone lions in front of the door. The mansion was nowhere near as big as the one Yu Meng lived in, but it also looked wealthy. If it were in his world, the family would have lived near the business circle of the first ring.
The man did not put the child down, but held it and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a young man in Tsing Yi came out to take a look—his expression did not change, and he only said politely, "My aunt is here?"
Then he looked at the child in the man's arms and said, "The little master has grown up again." Then he welcomed the two into the door, and called them to sit and wait by the gatehouse.
Li Yunxin followed behind them, the man glanced at him, and the little guy also glanced at him. But he didn't say anything, as if he didn't exist, a stone or a piece of wood.
While waiting, the man never put the child down.
After about two quarters of an hour, the little servant came back and said, "The master is not here, and it is inconvenient for the lady to meet the guests." If there is anything you can tell me, my lord is back, and I will say back."
But Li Yunxin knew that after the little maid went to the back house, the old man who was not there was there, and it was also convenient for the lady who was inconvenient to meet the guests. The original words of the two were, "Take three taels of silver and send them away, and look upset."
The man looked dumb all the time, even while waiting. But it was the same as when he commanded the boy in the street. Just hugged the son in his arms tightly...... Li Yunxin stared at him, as if he wanted to see something on his face.
When he was a child, Li Chunfeng also hugged him. I can't remember that feeling. But he didn't think he hated it at the time, but he didn't like it either. Because neither then nor later, they were not real fathers and children. How can it be difficult for a thinking adult to be held by another adult.
But when this child grows up, he thinks about this moment - when he was desperate and went to a relative's house with his father to borrow money for his grandmother's medical treatment, but was hung in the porter, and his father was worried that he would be tired, so he kept holding it...... Wouldn't it be really touching and ...... Is this a rare father's love?
This man's kindness to this child, and the kindness of ordinary secular people to children, have no care or intentions. That must be pure love.
When the little guy said these words, the man panicked slightly. So he said, "Ah Huan is sick again." I looked at the doctor a few years ago, and said that it would get better after surviving the winter. Now that the winter has passed, I still can't get up, and I want to grab a few more medicines for Ah Huan."
When the little girl heard this, she asked "Ah Huan" about her illness. After asking, I thought about it, and asked the kid again. The child stumbled as his father commanded.
So...... The little guy touched it in his arms.
I found a silver ingot. said, "I guess my aunt is in trouble, so I told Sister Yue'er and paid a tael of silver from Sister Yue'er." When the master comes back, I'll go back to him." And he gave it to the man.
The man was not too little—he didn't know that the owner of the house had given three taels of silver—and thanked him so much that he took the child and left.
Li Yunxin stared at this little guy for a while, and then narrowed his eyes. But in the end, he did nothing but follow the man out. However, one of the doppelgangers had been left in the porter, and he had followed the servant in Tsing Yi.
The man walked out of the alley with the child in his arms and put the child down. Holding his hand, he walked to the door of a cake shop. exchanged one tael of silver for one hundred wen, bought ten pancakes for five cents, and ordered a bowl of soup cakes. For an extra bowl, divide the soup cake into two bowls. I squatted outside the store with my child and ate it. The child was full after eating half a bowl, and the man ate three more pancakes.
Then he gave the remaining seven sheets to the child and told him to take them home. The child took the bread and ran away with joy.
The man got up and burped. The wooden expression on his face was gone, and he walked two more streets and turned into the "Shengbo Fang".
In layman's terms, this is a casino.
Li Yunxin stood in front of this gambling house, and it seemed that the people who came and went watched it for a while. When he hit the people who walked by him, he felt a chill inexplicably—it was cold, like a biting north wind. Several Jianghu people in the gambling house who licked blood from the knife edge changed their faces, and they all touched their knife soldiers, but they didn't know where they felt it...... Murderous.
But the murderous aura quickly disappeared. Li Yunxin's figure is no longer in front of the gambling house.
The deity is incarnated - he appeared beside the little guy in green clothes. The Buddha-figure and the incarnation experience different people and things at the same time, and experience different emotions, but they can be harmoniously self-consistent and digested. It's a strange feeling – perhaps someone who can draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand can experience a similar sensation slightly.
While the man was taking the child away, eating bread, and walking a few more streets into the gambling house, the little maid also did a few things.
first took a leave of absence from the "Sister Yue'er" he told the man before. That Yue'er must have been a high-ranking maid, and she was reading to the young master of that family—occasionally mentioning some words and poems from the young master who didn't seem to have a lot of brains—and she didn't have time to ask in detail, so she was allowed.
Then the servant changed into casual clothes and walked out the back door.
After walking through three alleys, I went to the soup pharmacy and grabbed six pairs of medicines for clearing the pyrolysis table—it cost three taels of silver. Then I went to another shop and asked for a small portion of cooked mutton and twenty boiled eggs, which cost sixteen yuan.
Li Yunxin followed him, looking at him silently, his eyes uncertain.
In the end, it took the little guy half an hour to come to the south of the Double Tiger City. This area is different from the previous streets, the roads are muddy and dirty, and they are full of filth. The houses were also low and dilapidated, many of which were mere straw huts.
He entered a thatched hut with a small courtyard. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time.
At this time, the child had not yet reached home.
There was a woman in the house who was in bed. Unkempt and unkempt, the shape of the pin is erect. It can be seen that it should be a beautiful age for Double Ten, and it should have some posture in the past.
When the servant entered the door, the woman looked at him on the kang and said nothing.
So the little servant began to make a fire and fry the medicine—but there was no firewood, so he went to a house two blocks away to buy firewood, and brought it back.
He sat down on the side of the kang and peeled an egg for the woman to eat. The woman stared at him for a few moments before she opened her mouth and took a small stutter. Then tear the mutton for her to eat. Both of them were silent—Li Yunxin, who was standing next to the two of them, was also silent.
When she had finished eating, the woman wept as she ate. The little guy was also in tears.
Then hugged his head and cried.
Their weeping was choppy and slurred. But Li Yunxin heard it clearly.
The woman was the daughter of a distant relative of the old man's family. Because his family was gone, he ran over. After that, he had a long-term love affair with the little girl, and the incident happened when he was four months old. was beaten and scolded and questioned, but he didn't say who the adulterer was. So he was married indiscriminately one night.
Li Yunxin watched them cry.
When they had cried enough, the little guy said, "He wants to come back and ask, so he said that the master is not at ease and sent me to see it", and then hurriedly left, Li Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down on the edge of the kang.
He sat like this for a quarter of an hour, and raised his hand and nodded it on the woman's forehead. She soon felt the strength in her body, and there was no pain anywhere.
Then Li Yunxin walked out of the door with his feet up, only to see that the child had just come back - holding seven cakes, and happily ran into the door to give them to the woman to eat. So the lady took the rest of the lamb and peeled two more eggs for the child to eat.
The child was fed and ran to the yard to play. The lady felt that she had the strength in her body and got off the kang, walked around and looked inside and out, and began to tidy up the house and clean the yard.
Li Yunxin sat on the low wall of this small courtyard and watched the child play, and slowly frowned.
He began to ask himself a question -
Will the man who entered the gambling house one day feel guilty of the child, and his conscience will confess his mistake to him?
Will a bad gambler who uses his children to beg for money have a conscience?
If you have a conscience, how can you do these things?
And Li Chunfeng ...... Li Chunfeng, who behaves like a loving father who can't be repented today...... How did you do what you did before?
It's not like him.
