Chapter 81: Brotherly Parting
"Xiao Chen, this is your brother's blessing, you see that we are all happy for you, why are you so unappreciative?" an old man stood in front of Chen Wenping and said to him earnestly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Village chief, my mother once told me to take good care of Wen'an before she died, I can't just abandon him, I can't do it. Chen Wenping shouted.
"This is that you are too selfish, it is the blessing of Wen'an to be selected by the Hundred Herb Valley, one day you will ascend to the Immortal, it is the opportunity of a hundred years of cultivation, I think your parents will agree with the spirit of the sky." The village chief continued to persuade patiently.
"That's right, Xiao Chen, you see that my son-in-law went two months ago, and our husband and wife don't know how happy they are, and they all beat gongs and drums to send him into the valley. A man next to him laughed.
"Xiao Chen, you see that it has not been our turn Jiang'er until now, today God will give you good blessings to your Chen family, don't hurry up and thank God, what are you hesitating here, if you don't go, then let our Jiang'er go, do you say okay?
"Old Wu, don't make trouble, this is God's will, do you think anyone has a chance? If you send the wrong person and wait for the hundred herb valleys to blame, I can't afford it." The village chief reprimanded.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Chen Wenping was also struggling in his heart.
Parents died early, leaving himself and Chen Wen'an to rely on each other, and he was a brother, a father, and a mother to pull Wen'an to grow up, and the relationship between the two was naturally different from ordinary brothers, family affection was thicker than water, but the relationship between himself and his younger brother was thicker than blood. How can I let Wen An go into the valley to practice alone? I don't know when we will see each other?
"Brother, what's going on?Why is our house so lively today?" At this time, Chen Wenan led Yu Muyan and the others back to the front of the house.
"Okay, now that the person is back, let's ask the person for their opinion on this matter. When the village chief saw Chen Wen'an coming back, he asked Chen Wen'an: "Wen'an, the village chief's uncle is here to tell you good news today." ”
"What's the good news?" Chen Wen'an asked happily.
"The Hundred Herbs Valley has chosen you, you can enter the valley to cultivate immortals, and when you become immortals one day, don't forget us." The village chief smiled.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm not going, I see that Wu Xiaojiang wants to go, I will give him this opportunity, and I will accompany my brother at home. Everyone couldn't imagine that in the eyes of others, it was such a worthless opportunity in the eyes of the Chen brothers, and they all stared at the two brothers with wide eyes.
At this time, Chen Wenan had already walked to Chen Wenping's side, took his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go into the house, Sister Mu Yan and they have long wanted to try their brother's cooking skills." ”
"Well, my brother prepared a big table of good dishes today. Village Chief, I'm really sorry, I think this place is still reserved for others, thank you for the kindness of the village chief. After speaking, Chen Wenping led Chen Wenan and Yu Muyan to prepare to go back to the house.
"Slow down! Chen Wenping, do you think this is a vegetable market business, you don't want it if you say you don't want it, and if you say it's for people, you give it to people?" The village chief's face was gloomy and he glared angrily at Chen Wenping.
"Yes, Chen Wenping, you don't want to toast and eat and drink, the Hundred Herbs Valley wants Chen Wen'an by name, and you have to be willing if you don't want to!"
"This is the will of God, if you offend God, our whole village will suffer, you can't be so selfish!" shouted another.
"Chen Wenping, whether you want it or not, tomorrow, I will personally come over to pick up Chen Wen'an into the valley, you can enjoy this last time in the evening, hmph, let's go." The village chief said coldly, waved his sleeves and left.
"It's really a bad thing. The villagers on the side left with the village chief, and they did not look like they were harmonious before.
Seeing the expressions of the villagers, Chen Wenping stood in place in a daze, and finally shook his head, sighed, and led Chen Wenan back to the house.
In the evening, at the dinner table, the four of them ate dinner silently. To be honest, Chen Wenping's cooking skills are really good, although the table is full of ordinary ingredients, but they can all eat different kinds of deliciousness. However, the Chen Wenping brothers couldn't eat it.
"Brother, I don't want to go. Suddenly, Chen Wenan put down the dishes and chopsticks and broke the silence.
"Wen An, my brother doesn't want you to go. But you can also see the expressions of the village chiefs, unless you leave tonight, otherwise, they will definitely carry you away tomorrow. Chen Wenping sighed.
"How can there be such a domineering person in the world, it's okay, Wen'an, you just stay at home, with your sister here, see who dares to touch you tomorrow." Yu Muyan finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and patted her chest at Chen Wenan.
"Miss Yu, we appreciate your kindness, but after all, this is our hometown, they are all neighbors, and it is not good if the relationship is too stiff. Besides, Wen An didn't want to go to any sword mountain and sea of fire, after all, the blessing of cultivating immortals was not something that everyone could get. Chen Wenping sighed.
"Cultivating immortals, do you really believe that there is a saying in this world that you have attained the Tao and ascended to immortal?" asked Yu Muyan in surprise.
"Everyone is convinced of this, and we have to believe it if we don't believe it. Chen Wenping sighed.
"Brother, although I don't want to go, I listen to you, if you want me to go, I'll go. Chen Wenan looked at Chen Wenping, his eyes were full of determination.
"Hey, Wen An, I... I'll think about it again. Chen Wenping stopped talking and sighed.
In this way, what should have been a joyful thanksgiving banquet evolved into such a sad and mournful parting meal, and the four of them hurriedly finished their meals and went back to the house to rest.
Inside the house, a pot of wine was still sitting at the table and drinking a small wine, and there was a knock at the door.
"Come in. ”
Yu Muyan pushed the door in, sat in front of a pot, and stared at him.
"What's the matter????," said a potted laugh.
"Will you help you with this favor tomorrow?" asked Yu Muyan seriously.
"What's the busy?"
"Help Chen Wenan stay. ”
"They haven't figured it out yet, so what are you going to do?" said with a sip of wine.
"Don't you see that the two brothers have a deep relationship? Since people don't want to cultivate immortals, then we have to follow their wishes, can we even force them to cultivate immortals?" Yu Muyan said angrily.
"Each region has its own customs, which is a matter of people's own villages, and it is difficult for us outsiders to interfere. Said with a pot.
"Hmph, I don't care anyway, no one can force others to do what he doesn't want to do, as long as that group of villagers dare to come tomorrow, I will take care of this matter!" Yu Muyan said firmly.
"I said Woman, where do you get so much energy, besides, there are so many of them, can you control them?" said with a smile.
"If you can't control it, you have to take care of it, since you don't help, it's better to see me make a fool of myself. After speaking, Yu Muyan left the room with a pot of wine angrily, but smiled in her heart: See if you can make a move tomorrow.
On the mourning hall, Chen Wen quietly knelt in front of his parents' spiritual seat.
Father, mother, what should I do? Do I want Wen An to go? But I can't bear it, I really can't give up. When you left, Wen An didn't know how to climb, and would just sit there and giggle at me every day. Later, gradually, he learned to crawl, learned to stand, took my hand and began to toddle, let go of my hand and began to run all over the mountain. Watching him grow up day by day, I am happy and relieved. But today when I heard that he was going to leave me, I was scared, really scared, he was the younger brother who grew up with me, the younger brother I raised with my own hands, my dearest brother. I was afraid that I would never see him again, and I was afraid that he would cry because he would never see me again. I'm afraid that he will be discouraged by setbacks on the path of his practice, and I'm afraid that I won't be there to share with him when he makes progress and suffer. I am afraid that my good brother will disappear from my life from now on.
Chen Wenping knelt on the ground, tears blurring his eyes.
"Brother. ”
Chen Wenping wiped away his tears, turned to look, and saw that Chen Wenan had also come to the mourning hall at this time.
"Wen'an, you're here too. Chen Wenping said softly.
"I'm here to say goodbye to my father and mother. Chen Wenan walked up to Chen Wenping, knelt down, and said.
"Hmm, you've already decided to go?" Chen Wenping was taken aback and asked.
"Yes, brother, I have made up my mind, my brother has been going up and down the mountains and the field, running around to take care of me, and has fallen ill many times because of overwork, but brother, you have never complained, even if you almost died under the robber axe in order to protect my weak brother. And since I was a child, I couldn't help my brother much. This is an opportunity given to me by God so that I can repay my brother for his nurturing kindness. Brother, don't worry, this time, I will definitely practice the Immortal Family Dao Technique with my heart, and I will definitely be able to return as soon as possible to help my brother carry forward our Chen family business!" Chen Wen looked at Chen Wenping quietly, his eyes were firm and determined.
Finally, Chen Wenping smiled with relief, this is a joy from the bottom of my heart, because my younger brother has grown up!
The two brothers hugged each other tightly and spent the whole night.
Finally, the morning light in the distance is slightly dewed, the day of dawn has come, and the day of parting has arrived.
Chen Wenping changed Chen Wen'an into a brand new dress, prepared a large bag of hand-made food, and reluctantly sent him to the door.
At this time, the village chiefs had already led the villagers to prepare for the disaster at the door, but as soon as the door opened, they saw Chen Wenping personally send Chen Wenan out.
And Yu Muyan was even more shocked, she couldn't imagine that one night, the mood of the two of them had changed so much, since this was the case, it was inconvenient for her to meddle in affairs, so she could only stand aside silently and watch Chen Wenan leave.
Chen Wen'an walked to the west surrounded by everyone, looking back at Chen Wenping from time to time, it was a kind of reluctance and a kind of farewell in his eyes, brother, when I am not there, you have to take good care of yourself.
