Chapter 120: Persistence (II)

The red leaves on the branches have become more and more brittle after the baptism of the mist. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhen the fog cleared, the forest ahead was already empty.

Perhaps, there is a person's heart, like the maple forest just now, has experienced too much fog, but in this cold autumn wind, he still stands straight there.

The blades that fight against fate are the strongest and most vivid life in the world.

Yang Xiaofeng stared blankly at the woods in front of him for a long time, took a deep breath, turned around and walked back.

From now on, two people, two paths, two choices.

As Xiaoling said, Ah Xue and Xiaoxi have become the deepest obsession in his heart. Therefore, no matter when it is, he remembers to return to Ah Xue. Because, that woman is his direction.

The next moment, the moon finally showed its face, did the night come!

The rising flames shone on the girl's tearful face, and in front of the joint grave of Mei Luoyun and Yang Shuangzi, Yang Xiaoxi knelt on her knees and burned a stack of paper money to the deceased.

Eleven years of pain, eleven years of grievances and longing all turned into tears on the cheeks in the curling firelight, crossing his cheeks.

"Dad, mother, I'm back......", Yang Xiaoxi sobbed and whimpered: "It's not just me, eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law, we are all back."

Luo Qingxue stood behind Yang Xiaoxi, looking ahead from time to time. He's been gone for a while, why hasn't he come back?

However, I can't care about anything else at the moment, Yang Xiaoxi is still crying here like a tearful person. She patted the little girl's shoulder, so she had to squat beside her first, and comforted: "Xiaoxi, I know that you feel uncomfortable, and I am also sad, but don't be too sad, it's not good to hurt your body, after all, things have passed for so many years."

"Yes, it's been so many years......", Yang Xiaoxi's sad face suddenly smiled faintly, smiled with tears, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, no matter what, now our family is reunited again, isn't it!"

"Silly girl, ......", Luo Qingxue doted on her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for Yang Xiaoxi, and then they laughed.

"Ah Xue, Xiaoxi, it's cold on the mountain, let's go back", the two girls were startled, and looked up at the same time, but Yang Xiaofeng was already standing behind them, looking at them with a smile.

"Big brother, you're back. What did you say to the second brother, you have been going for so long......", Yang Xiaoxi was full of joy and jumped up all of a sudden, but then after her eyes swept around Yang Xiaofeng, she wondered: "By the way, what about the second brother, where did he go"?

"Xiaoling, he ......", Yang Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, rubbed his sister's hair with his hand, and changed the topic: "Xiaoxi, it's dark, let's go."

"Big brother, you haven't answered my question yet......", listening to the eldest brother's tone, Yang Xiaoxi's expression darkened, and he asked in a low voice: "Could it be ...... , Could it be that the second brother doesn't want to go back with us"?

"Xiaoling left alone", Yang Xiaofeng smiled bitterly.

"Then why don't you let him stay ......", Yang Xiaoxi shouted: "He is your own brother, as the eldest brother, you can rest assured that the second brother is alone"?

"This is Xiaoling's own choice......", Yang Xiaofeng sighed and said gloomily: "There are some roads that must be taken by yourself, and others cannot replace them." Xiaoling's heart is not here, even if I persuade him to stay, what can I do."

"Second brother, ......", Yang Xiaoxi looked forward hard, as if he wanted to find Yang Xiaoling's figure among the empty trees, but after all, he didn't see anything.

After a long time, she suddenly asked Yang Xiaofeng, "Big brother, do you say that the second brother will come back, does he really don't want me anymore?"

"Maybe, or maybe he just has too many ...... to help himself", Yang Xiaofeng looked at his sister, and then glanced at Luo Qingxue, and didn't care about them at the moment, he walked towards the road first.

"Second brother...... , why don't you take me with you, at least then, at least I will depend on you for your life", Yang Xiaoxi muttered, tears coming out of his eyes again.

"Xiaoxi, let's go", Luo Qingxue gently pulled Yang Xiaoxi's arm. How familiar the scene in front of her was, looking at the tears on the girl's face, she suddenly remembered that when she was looking for Yang Xiaofeng in the pile of dead people in Qingshui Villa, she used to be like that.

For a while, she didn't know how to comfort Yang Xiaoxi, she could only look at the girl in front of her in a daze and cry sadly, she understood the feeling of losing the most important person in her heart better than anyone else.

"Sister-in-law ......", just when Luo Qingxue was still in a daze, Yang Xiaoxi had already wiped the tears on her face, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Let's go back, the eldest brother has been gone for a while."

"Ah......", Luo Qingxue was slightly startled and said in surprise: "You...... What do you say"?

"I said we'll go back ...... now", Yang Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Don't let the eldest brother wait alone."

"Are you okay......", Luo Qingxue really couldn't keep up with the speed of Yang Xiaoxi's emotional transformation, glanced at her, and said, "Why did you cry so sadly just now, but now it's better"?

"Hehe, what's there to be sad ......", Yang Xiaoxi smiled melancholy and said, "My father and mother are gone, and my second brother is gone, but aren't there still eldest brothers and sisters-in-law, we are still a complete family." Moreover, I believe that the second brother will come back one day."

"I believe it too," the two of them looked at the trees in front of them one last time, smiled at each other, and turned to walk back slowly.

Under the sky in the distance, the moon rose completely, and in the light cold light, a red leaf was blown by the wind, gently falling from the branches, drawing an elegant arc in the air, with a bit of favor, it was difficult to give up, but it had to rise and fall with the wind.

Human life is not the fallen leaves drifting in the wind?

Whether you want it or not, you will always be blown by the wind and fall into the unknown distance.

The smell of the early night made the woods more and more secluded, as if the place had long been empty.

Suddenly, somewhere, in the shadows obscured by a big tree, two people, two men, slowly walked out.

Among them, a man dressed in black and wearing a large hat surrounded by a black cloth on his head was the person who had just appeared in the clouds. Behind him, there was also a middle-aged man dressed in black.

Both of them stood with their hands in their hands, keeping a delicate distance from each other.

At this moment, they happened to be standing where the two Yang Xiaofeng brothers were standing just now, looking up at the direction where Yang Xiaofeng and the three of them left, contemplating, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Hehe......", the man in black behind suddenly smiled inexplicably, with a little vicissitudes of life, a little melancholy, and asked lonely: "Lord, have you ever doubted?"

"What do you suspect", the man in front of him had no emotional fluctuations, and his voice was extremely cold.

"Hehe, what do you suspect ......", the man behind him smiled faintly again, and the night wind blew his robe, rattling. He stood with his hands in his hands, not angry and arrogant, and it could be seen that this was a person who was in a high position all the year round and held great power.

However, only he knows that the person who is really in a high position is not himself, he is just a puppet who is manipulated. How ridiculous all this is!

The man in the back smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Has the Lord ever doubted everything we have done?"

"Everything we did ......", the man in front chewed on this sentence repeatedly, and after a while, he still said coldly: "You say that, but you regret what you did in the first place"?

"Actually, I don't regret it, I just feel a little confused."

"Confused, it's a little interesting......", the man in front of him suddenly smiled slightly, probably because he thought what the other party said was a little ridiculous.

The man in black in the back didn't seem to hear the hint of ridicule in the laughter of the man in front of him, and said downcastly: "Once, I thought that power was everything, and for the sake of power, I even killed the people closest to me, but now I ......."

"Alas......", as he spoke, he didn't seem to want to talk anymore, and after sighing, he simply closed his mouth.

"But now, after all these years, as time goes on, when you're at the pinnacle of power, you feel that emotions are the most important thing, right?"

The man in front of him smiled, took the other man's words, and continued: "When family and friends are around, people are often fanatically obsessed with power. However, there is a day when you are already in power, only to find that your friends and relatives are gone, and you don't even have someone to share with, don't you?"

"Hehe......", the man in black behind smiled bitterly, and said astringently: "I used to give up everything for power, but since I sat in my current position, I feel extremely empty. It turns out that power does not bring fulfillment and happiness to people, but only makes people cold, even ......".

He suddenly looked up at the man in front of him, and after a while, he said, "Even the fear that torments me all the time......

"Fear ......", the man in front of him smiled slightly, and suddenly said indifferently: "Are you afraid that I will kill you one day"?

As he spoke, he turned around, looked at the man in black opposite, and said slowly: "I only found out today that you are also so afraid of death."

As long as it is human, who is not afraid of death?

What's more, the person in front of him is simply a devil, or a madman.

"Afraid of death, haha......", the man in black behind also smiled, did not shy away from meeting the gaze of the man in front, and said lightly: "Perhaps, sometimes death is a relief, isn't it"?

"Maybe it's ......", the man in front of him smiled dejectedly, raised his head to avoid the gaze of the man in black opposite, looked at the direction that Yang Xiaoling had just left, and his tone suddenly became a little gentle, and said, "Perhaps, what you said is right."

The autumn night was solemn, the cold moon was cold, and the two of them were silent for a while, and in the silent forest, there was only a light breeze whimpering.

A few more leaves fell from the branches and fell miserably to the ground.

"Are we really doing the right thing"?

The man in black suddenly sighed again, looked at the man opposite, and asked, "I wonder if you have thought about it, Lord...... Ever thought about letting go of ......"?

"Put down the ......", the corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled interestingly, playing with taste: "What to put down"?

"Let go of the attachment ...... in our hearts", the muscles on the man in black's face twitched a few times, and it seemed that it took a lot of courage to say this.

"Let go of the attachment ...... in your heart", the man who is called the Lord repeats these words, pauses, and asks, "Then let me ask you, what is attachment"?

What is attachment?

Perhaps, everyone has their own different answers, or perhaps, there are no answers at all!

After a pause, the man who was called the Lord said slowly: "The reason why attachment is attachment is because it can't let go. The reason why you want to let it go is simply because you have a new attachment ...... in your heart."

"Yes, it turns out that what you let go of is attachment, and what you can't let go of is attachment ......", the man in black smiled helplessly and said in a low voice: "However, we can still choose to turn back, aren't we?"

"Turn back, hehe, turn back ......", the man who is called the Lord seemed to feel funny, and mocked: "There are some choices, from the beginning there is no turning back".

As he spoke, he slowly leaned over and picked up a few fallen leaves on the ground, and with a casual flick of his hand, the leaves gently floated out of his hands.

"You see, these leaves used to be the most important and indispensable part of the life of the tree, they were dependent on the tree, a symbiosis in the same vein, but when it chose to leave the tree, it was destined to never return to the branches, isn't it the same ......in people's lives", the Lord looked at the fallen leaves scattered in the wind stupidly, and suddenly a few strange lights flashed in his eyes, and he stared straight at the man in black in front of him, and said coldly: "However, compared to these fallen leaves, people have one more choice."

The man in black trembled, and under the gaze of the Lord, he seemed to feel like he was on the edge of an abyss, so he had to laugh twice to hide the fear in his heart. However, even he knew how reluctant this laughter was, but he still smiled and said, "I don't know which choice there are more people"?

"Self-destructive ......", the Lord smiled coldly, turned his gaze as he spoke, looked at the leaves that were still flying freely, and said lightly: "Just like these fallen leaves."

The man in black also looked up at the fallen leaves, and then, under the gaze of the two of them, the leaves that had just suddenly drifted away in the wind suddenly all of them were strangely shattered into powder.

The autumn night was cold, and the man in black suddenly felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

The Lord smiled slightly, stopped looking at the man in black, and asked gently, "Now, do you understand?"

The man in black shuddered, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his trembling hands, and replied tremblingly: "My subordinates understand, I completely understand."

"Very good......", the lord was obviously very satisfied with the posture of the man in black, and praised it, and said, "Then let's go."

He immediately walked towards the outside of Qingshui Villa, and the man in black followed not far behind, and there was always a subtle distance between the two.
