Next Chapter

Changde Town is a very ordinary town in the south, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the other side leads directly to the royal capital. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just last night, something big and small happened in town. It was spread in the mouths of the three aunts and six mothers-in-law early this morning.

The Wang family next to the big willow tree in the east of the town had a disobedient son.

I didn't do a good yamen errand, and I even said that I wanted to go out for training. was so angry that the Wang family and his wife almost fainted, and Master Wu of the Yamen also came to persuade him for a long time, and finally threw down a sentence, "The child can't be taught", and slammed the door and left.

Speaking of the only son of the Wang family, he is also very famous in the town. has been naughty since childhood, and is the king of children in the town. At the age of eight, he practiced kung fu with the old dart head in the town, and after three years, even his master was no longer his opponent. When he was eighteen years old, his father found a relationship and sent him to the yamen. Two years later, he was already the master's deputy. The future is bright.

But he is just restless, and he loves to run to the top of the mountain since he was a child. Sitting at the top of the mountain is a whole day. The townsadults asked him what he wanted to do in the future. The child always replied with childishness, "I want to be a hero." ”

The adults always smiled and touched his head without speaking. In any era, the children of ordinary families are far away from the rivers and lakes. In order to start a family and live a comfortable life, you already need to do your best. Where will you talk about those unrealistic dreams. Adults feel that when he grows up, his mind will naturally change.

But no.

The Queen Mother kept surrounding her son, chattering while shedding tears uncontrollably.

Let's talk about how good the family is, don't worry about food and clothing, and have a stable job; then talk about how the parents are worried, the Wang family is just one of his sons, who has been holding it since he was a child, and he is afraid of falling; and saying that how dangerous it is outside, he has no skills, how can he make a living, the rivers and lakes are so chaotic, why should he, a child of an ordinary family, compete with the sons of those wealthy families?

The sorrowful cries were like a sharp knife piercing Wang Chen's heart.

But the boy still stared stubbornly at the ground, not moving.

Throughout the afternoon, the seven aunts and eight aunts came to persuade them. In the end, only one conclusion was reached, this kid is too ignorant!

Seeing the relatives and sisters walking out of the house one by one shaking their heads, the royal father was so angry that he desperately circled around the house, and finally found a thick wooden stick, lifted it and whipped it on his son's body.

The stick smashed on Wang Chen's body, making a loud "dong dong" sound.

He raised his head, glanced at his father's hideous face, and quickly lowered his head. The pain was so intense that he couldn't even maintain his balance. After a few sticks, he could only prop himself on the ground with one hand, bend down, and try to stand up the muscles in his back, desperately resisting the blow without wavering. His lips were bitten by his teeth, but he was still stubborn not to make a sound.

Finally, the royal father was tired from fighting. He threw the stick away, sat down in the doorway with a gloomy face, and smoked a smoking. Wang Chen still knelt in the middle of the hall, motionless.

There was a sudden silence in the room. There was no third sound except the sound of the royal father smashing his pipe and the low cry of the queen mother. Wang Chen survived the wave of pain and slowly knelt up straight. His face was resolute, his eyes were like stars in the dark night sky, and he knelt in the middle of the hall like a straight sword.

Finally, as night fell, the royal father let out a long smoke ring. He turned to stare at his son, looked at him carefully for a while, and realized that this child was no longer the little boy who followed his ass and asked for candy, and came home to find his father as soon as he was bullied. He is already twenty years old, and even from the back he is a dignified man.

He sighed and decided to have a good talk with his son.

"Wang Chen, the rivers and lakes are very sinister. Have you figured out what to do out there?" asked the royal father.

Wang Chen raised his head slightly, but still didn't speak.

"We also have a lot of unrealistic dreams when we are young, and when we grow up, we know that it is better to be safe and stable. The royal father continued to persuade.

Wang Chen turned his head to look at him, still silent.

"You have to tell us where you want to go. The royal father asked again.

Wang Chen's lips moved, and his eyes continued to glance at the ground.

"Good, good, backbone. Go ahead. Let's get out. The royal father's mood was finally crushed by his son's stubbornness, he laughed angrily, stood up and pushed the door open, pointed to the night outside the door, and roared loudly: "You go, let's go." I don't think you're a son. ”

Wang Chen lowered his head even deeper.

The royal father didn't relentless this time, he walked up to his son, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out, "You little rabbit, get out, get out and don't come back!"

Wang Chen was pulled and staggered, and in the courtyard where he stumbled, his throat moved, and a vague syllable sounded as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he didn't, he stood up, patted the dust off his body, knelt down in the middle of the courtyard, and kowtowed three times. Then he stood up and walked out of the city without looking back.

The Queen Mother couldn't help crying, she wanted to rush out and grab her son, but her husband blocked the door. She slapped her husband's shoulders fiercely, looked at her son's back as he walked farther and farther, and couldn't cry. The royal father looked silently into the distance, and couldn't help but cover his forehead, tears sliding down his fingers. What are you trying to do in this life?

And Wang Chen, who was getting farther and farther, couldn't stop falling tears from the faucet that wanted to open the floodgate, he walked quickly with his head down, and he didn't even dare to reach out to wipe his tears. It's not that he doesn't want to say goodbye to his parents, but he doesn't know where he's going or what he's going to do.

Being a hero, such a dream is almost a fool's dream in this kind of quiet town, and such a dream requires a lot of courage even if it is just spoken. He was afraid that as soon as he spoke, the little courage and impulse would dissipate.

He was a little scared of the outside world, but he was even more afraid of the inside world.

Since he was a child, everyone praised him for being smart, but no one affirmed his dream. Over time, he almost forgot that his former wish was to be a great chivalrous man admired by everyone.

Until the day before yesterday, I went to my classmate Shen Kuo's house to drink happy wine.

The groom, who was so drunk, hid in the toilet and vomited and cried bitterly. The bride is a girl from two streets next door, but she is a good match with his family, she asks for a small bride price, and she also marries a ploughing cow. But Shen Kuo didn't love her.

He watched Shen Kuo crying heartbreakingly at the back of the house, but when he walked back into the house in a blink of an eye, he looked happy again. When he looked at the bride with a gentle face. Wang Chen felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. One day, will he be so hypocritical and pretend to be very happy to the woman he doesn't love?

He thought of the hundreds of proposals that had been pressed under Master Wu's desk, which were all measures that he had worked hard and meticulously to come up with that could help the people. Master Wu also praised him on the surface for having this heart. But behind the scenes, he heard the older officials, discussing his naivety. More is better than less, just do the tasks arranged by the boss honestly. Such words made Wang Chen feel very humiliated.

Maybe staying here can live a very comfortable and comfortable life, but he is not reconciled.

He often lay on the top of the mountain, clutching his chest tightly, so sad that he couldn't help himself. There seemed to be a huge beast in his heart that was biting and roaring, trying to break out of the cage and tear this weak self to pieces. Shred, swallow, shredded, swallowed. He punched the tree again and again, trying to cover up the pain in his heart with the pain in his body, but the more he covered it, the more the fire in his heart burned fiercely.

The boy lifted his tearful eyes, and his eyes were about to split. He roared under his breath at the night sky, like a lone wolf.

"I don't want to live like this. I want to find my own brave path, and I want to make true brothers. I will drink with them in the wilderness, I will fight with them in the forest, we will give our backs to each other, we will appreciate the remnant sun like blood, and we will welcome the rising sun like a flower. I, Wang Chen, will one day become the most amazing knight!"

He walked faster and faster, and finally he actually ran, and it seemed that the faster he ran, the more he could escape from those emotions of reluctance and fear.

The moonlight stretched his figure very long, and the surrounding mountains looked at him quietly, as if a solemn ancestor was looking at his own children, gentle and stern. Go out, child, come back, child. No matter what you choose, the earth will be your home.
