Chapter 9: Old Sorrow for Parting
When the two approached, Mo Lingfan and Tang Xiaolan saw the appearance of the person who came, "It's grandpa" Mo Lingfan was the first to shout, sure enough, it was the two old men, who were walking towards them step by step at this time, neither fast nor slow.
After a while, they stood together, and both of them looked at the old village chief happily, their current bodies were not what they were two weeks ago, and their control of strength was perfect, so they were happy.
But the old village chief and the old artist didn't want to praise their appearance, and after the atmosphere was awkward for a while, Donald broke the embarrassment first and said, "Xiaolan, it's time for us to leave, go back and pack up, take a good rest and get ready to go!"
After hearing this, Mo Lingfan's whole person froze, he was the most reluctant for her to go, he felt in his heart that she gave him the opportunity to learn swords, and she also made him the first small wooden sword in his life, and his father's departure, and then facing the parting, the so-called little fear of parting was sad, and it was easier to show it, so he began to cry.
Seeing him like this, she was also distressed, the child was kind-hearted, and it was easy to be damaged, and she also begged her grandfather, "Can you not go, I still want to practice swords with Lingfan." ”
The old village chief has always refused to speak, and he does not want to see the children separated, but it is more of this old friend, who is old, and it is inevitable to worry about who will go first, and when the time comes, it will be goodbye, which is why the old man is afraid of separation.
The old artist can only teach Tang Xiaolan carefully: "Grandpa's opera troupe is still waiting for us to join us in the nearby village, and grandpa will send you to Jianyuanmen to learn swords, but Lingfan will not go, you can't learn swords here with him for the rest of your life, not to mention that we can't teach you advanced swordsmanship." ”
Mo Lingfan listened silently on the side, and also had his own thoughts in his heart, his grandfather told him that his father wanted him to be an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, and it was impossible for him to be with her all the time. He has been sensible since he was a child, and his grandfather watched him grow up, and he listened to his grandfather's words in his heart. And he stopped crying.
Tang Xiaolan didn't listen to the old artist's teachings, and thought to herself why Lingfan couldn't go to the Sword Rim Gate with me to learn swords, so she cried even more fiercely as she spoke. The child was crying and crying, where were the two old men opponents, and the second aunt came over to help comfort them before taking them home.
"I just see that these two children are very happy together day by day, why do you two have to break up others, do you have to be the same as you two. The second aunt poured tea for the two old men and said to them, and at first glance, she revealed the old bottom of the two old men, and the two old men were silent and drank tea with their heads down. At this time, Tang Xiaolan was still sobbing softly in the room, and Mo Lingfan was by her side. Tell her, "Don't cry, you're gone, I'll miss you when I'm alone." ”
She stubbornly said, "That's not good, I just want to practice swords with you." There was a warmth in Lingfan's heart, the child was still young, and he didn't know what this feeling was called, but he had seen it in the book, "Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is speechless." ”
The discussion outside started, and the old artist said: "Why don't you let Lingfan, this child, go out with me to experience the experience" As soon as the words fell, the old village chief slapped the table: "No, Lingfan was entrusted to me by his father, just for him to live an ordinary life, how can I let him go to the rivers and lakes with you, absolutely not"
After listening to this, the second aunt persuaded: "Old village chief, when the child is older, he should go outside to take a look, and it is not a way to stay in the small village all the time." "Besides, what if that kid is gone, and Lingfan is depressed every day?"
"That's right, I just took Lingfan out to see, when the children are older and sensible, I will send Xiaolan to Jianyuanmen, and then I will bring the child back to you intact, wouldn't it be good if you were living an ordinary life with him." ”
The old village chief was slightly moved, it is indeed time to let the child go out for a walk, I always leave him in the village, and when the child grows up, I am not to blame, the world is big, and in the next life, it is also time to see and understand. So he relented and said, "Hey, do you have to go? Then let the child make his own decision."
When the three of them came to the room, they happened to see the two children holding hands and hugging each other, and for a while the three of them felt like they were caught in bed, and they were uncomfortable.
The old village chief was still the old village chief, and it was probably not a little interrupted when that kind of thing happened in the village, so he stepped forward and gently pulled the two of them away. He said in a deep voice: "Lingfan, are you willing to follow Grandpa Tang to the outside world to have a look?"
He asked without a little temptation, because he didn't want the child to leave him, after all, he was older and had nothing to worry about, so he hoped that his child could be by his side, so he didn't dare to tell the child how wonderful the outside world was, and only said such a simple sentence.
But when the child grew up and longed for the outside world, he didn't have any consideration, so he happily asked, "Really, is it really possible?"
The old man nodded, no one saw the helplessness and vicissitudes hidden on his face, the child's heart, he didn't know if he hurt people, and he couldn't blame it, if he wanted to blame it, he would blame the providence for being difficult to ask, and the old man was easy to be sad, and he didn't speak.
Now the two children were so happy, they danced with their hands, and there were tears on their faces just now, and in a blink of an eye, they smiled and said that it was sweeter than flowers, and they went to play in the orchard noisily.
"Old guy, don't be sad, sometimes people's old age, useless, want to keep people can't keep it" Despite this, the old man still couldn't bear the discomfort, he beckoned and said, "Go, I still have a few years of fine wine at home, let's take it as if we don't pass it today." ”
As he spoke, he walked home, one in front of the other and the two old men walked in the back, the sun shone obliquely, and the shadow became shorter and shorter, like the two people did not want to mention, they were slowly getting old.
"When you were young, you liked the daughter of the owner of the small hotel under the mountain, hahaha, that girl is long, beautiful as a fairy, you kid was absolutely amazing at the time, hahaha" "You are embarrassed to say me, don't you also like the big girlfriend of the shopkeeper of the rice store next door"
There was a conversation between the two in the house, it was the memory of the two old men, the wine was in the stomach, it was rare to see, but the friendship between the two was so shining. "Ha ah, I still remember that we both went down the mountain together to find who were, but once we were caught by the master, and we were punished for carrying bamboo and running in circles, I remember when I chose a bamboo basket, you picked a heavy bamboo, I tell you, this matter, I still remember it clearly today, come, do it" "What do you think you said, just this matter, I forgot, come and drink"
I don't know who is so unproductive, I cried while drinking, and then both of them cried, time has passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye both of them are pulsatillas, and he is hunchbacked, and he is also dazzled, but even if time is ruthless, their brotherhood is still eternal.
"Don't say it, I'll leave the child to you, I'll rest assured" said the two hands clasped tightly together.
That night, when the children came back, both of them were drunk, and the two old men hugged each other, and it hurt people's brains to watch, and the two children helped the two to bed.
Maybe neither of them was drunk, because the next morning, whoever packed up Lingfan's baggage and put it at his bedside, and the old village chief didn't come, and asked the old artist, he said that he was not strong enough to drink, and he must not have woken up yet, so let's not wait for him, let's go.
Ling Fan still looked back at the courtyard, and he shouted, "Grandpa Lian, let's go, wait for me, I will definitely come back to see you in the future"
At the window of the room, a figure trembled and whined, and you must come back safely!
There is still some dew on the road, usually when the rooster crows, I have to get up and run, but now even the rooster crows, the three of them went on the road, just walked to the entrance of the village, and suddenly the sound of the rooster crowing in the distance, Mo Lingfan suddenly looked back at the village chief's house.
An old man, standing on the roof, wearing a white robe, holding a sword in one hand, saw him looking over, he began to dance the sword, although it was very vague, but he felt that the sword qi was in front of him, the old man moved, the sword qi flew, the old man swung the sword three times in a row, the force was wonderful. It seems to be pressed down by a thousand catties, but it is like a dragonfly dotting water.
Mo Lingfan looked at it, so he unburdened himself, took out a small wooden sword, and gestured according to the old man's appearance, making a sound and being attentive, imitating the movements bit by bit, and the two grandchildren on the side watched without saying a word.
The sun came out, the round red sun, the clouds seemed to flow, reflecting the figure of the old man dancing with a sword, as if with a golden light, that is the most beautiful morning sun, or the most beautiful ending...
