Chapter 51: The Lonely Guardian

After walking for half an hour, I saw the cedar forest that the old man said, with straight cedar trees growing between the snow peaks, like a sword forest. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Yan Hou and Chang Lin cut down trees at the edge of the forest, while Wang Chen and Li Su went into the forest to find food.

Wang Chen's quickly caught a few fat snow hares. He checked it, feeling like he had enough to eat. beckoned Li Su to go back.

But Li Su was still very focused on looking for something, and when she heard Wang Chen's voice, she raised her head and brushed the broken hair around her ear, "Let's pick some herbs, Changlin's wound and the big white dog need to be bandaged." ”

"Well, good. The corners of Wang Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, and he walked over and took her basket.

The two of them walked slowly along the slope in the forest, and the golden sunlight shone through the cedar trees, hitting the snow in small pieces. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard, and Wang Chen couldn't help but hold Li Su's little hand. Li Su also blushed and lowered his head.

After taking two more steps, the two of them raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

After watching it for a long time, Li Su was a little embarrassed, and as soon as she turned her head, a strange thing came into view, "Eh, what is that?" She broke free of Wang Chen's hand and ran over on the snow.

"Grave?" Wang Chen followed and looked at the thing in front of him, although it was just a lonely small snowdrift with a log stuck in it, but no matter how you look at it, it should be a grave.

"It's that grandfather's family buried here. You see, this bouquet of flowers is the same as the one at the head of Grandpa's bed. Wang Chen looked at the place she pointed, and there was indeed a bunch of white flowers lying on the snow, the same color as the snow, and it was really impossible to see it if you didn't look at it carefully.

The two folded their hands together and bowed respectfully.

Yan Hou and Changlin had already cut the firewood, and Yan Hou used two ropes to tie several huge cedar trees together, and the other end was on himself, ready to pull it back like this. Changlin watched him busy there, looking at the depths of the forest boredly, and sighed, "They won't be strolling in the snowy mountains and talking about love???!

Before the words fell, a snowball smashed into his face, and Wang Chen's voice rang out immediately, "Stinky boy, what are you talking about!

"Ho, dare to hit me! Look at my brother's thousands of miles of snow???"

"Hahaha, Xiao Su, quick, sneak attack from behind!"

"Yan Hou, you are a dead man, you don't know how to help me! Let's brothers work together to defeat this pair of guys who show affection!"

"Hmm~"

Twenty minutes later, all four of them were lying on the snow with their heads covered in snow, panting for breath. The confusion of not being able to find the direction for more than ten days was swept away.

As long as you have these few people by your side, there's nothing you can't do. Wang Chen thought and giggled, he stood up and threw the snow rabbit in Changlin's face, pulling the rope to his shoulder, while the other one was thrown into the sky and fell into Yan Hou's hand.

"Hey, let's go!"

In the wooden house, the old man lifted the steaming kettle from the stove, and poured the boiling water into the tea bowl in front of Mo Jiang. He sat down, lit his pipe, and took a puff.

"What's going on in this world, the old man is not interested. Whether it's good or bad, there's always a definite number. However, it is not easy for you to find the force of water, the meaning of water lies in change, and the point of force of water is also constantly changing. If you're lucky, you can meet it when you go out, but if you're unlucky, you won't be able to see it for ten or eight years. ”

"But we have to find it and complete the trial. Now the world is full of children losing their parents, the elderly losing their children, friends turning against each other, brothers killing each other, everyone is in danger, and they dare not be honest with others. In this way, there will be no future in a world that regards human life as a mustard. General Mo picked up the tea bowl and said in an impassioned tone.

"Then I wish you all the best of luck. The old man laughed and stood up, "But don't think about that tonight." Since you're not a bad person, let's get some good wine and food, and everyone can have a good meal. After all, it's been a long time since I've sat down to eat with someone. ”

The old man had obviously not been with anyone for a long time, and Li Su made a table full of food out of monotonous rabbit meat. As soon as the old man was happy, he pulled out all the good wine he had treasured in the ground, and the authentic snow-capped mountain aging was really delicious.

The meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the hosts. Until Li Su, who was chatting up, asked a question, "That grave in the cedar forest is grandpa's family, right?" As soon as she asked this question, the old man's hand holding things was obviously stiff.

The atmosphere took a sharp turn, his smile froze on his face, the air in the room seemed to drop several degrees, and even the big white dog stopped eating and raised his head. The expression on the old man's face changed countless times, and he finally gritted his teeth and said:

"That's a cowardly and cowardly vile villain!"

The old man picked up the wine glass with trembling hands, stared at the wine in the glass, and threw the wine glass out after a while, he closed his eyes, and said with a face full of vicissitudes, "Once upon a time, there were two young and promising swordsmen in the northern country, and they were very good friends. The two met a beautiful girl on the way to the experience. The girl fell in love with one of them, married, and gave birth to a child. But they didn't know that that friend also loved this girl, and evil thoughts had long taken root in his heart.

During a fight with thugs, the vile villain turned his back on his friend, exposed his back to the enemy's sword, and left the battlefield in defiance of his pleas.

When he brought the bad news home, the girl broke down. She was not such a strong woman, and she followed her husband on the second night after hearing the bad news. Only the youngest son, who had just learned to walk, was left.

Later, I don't know if it was found out of guilt or conscience. That despicable villain adopted that child, hired a famous teacher for him, taught him martial arts, took care of him day by day, and raised him little by little. Without him, the child would have died. But it was also because of him that this child's family was ruined. If you were that kid, what would you do to him?"

The old man paused, opened his eyes and looked at everyone's stunned expressions, although there were not many words, but there was a lot of information. He smiled grimly, "Yes, I'm that kid." So, after I became sensible, I stopped being close to him, and I wanted to kill this man every day to avenge my parents. I practiced martial arts diligently, and at the age of 20, I left him to travel all over the world, and at the age of 28, I became a well-known chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes. I came back here and beat him in one move, and the moment I stabbed him in the chest, I thought I had won. But the tears couldn't stop flowing out. ”

The old man closed his eyes in agony again, and his voice became muffled, changing from telling a story to muttering, "I saw him fall heavily on the snow, with a smile on his face. Those emotions that hate him can't be found at all, and I originally thought that the reason was so sufficient. However, in the end, all that remained were those scenes where he was very happy. He would always pick me up and put me on his shoulders when I fell on the snow when I fell with him, when I was sledding, he would pull the sled for me when I thought the dog was running slowly, and the day before my birthday, he would go down the snowy mountain to buy me my favorite snacks??? One by one, one by one, like thorns, pierced back and forth in my heart.

At that moment, I realized that no matter what kind of person he was, whether he was a great traitor or a vile person, he had really been by my side for eighteen years, and that was the truth. In the past eighteen years, the love he has given me has not been false in the slightest. ”

Mo Jiang's hand holding the wine glass suddenly trembled, and this sentence seemed to tear a hole in his heart, making a lot of emotions in his heart mixed together, and it was a mess. He pretended to pick up his glass and took a sip.

The old man had tears on his face, and he must have not mentioned this incident for many years, or since he decided to keep a vigil here, no one cared about the cause and effect of this incident. The bitterness, guilt, contradictions, and self-blame in his heart can only be tasted alone in countless snowy nights.

"The human heart will only feel pain when it is irreparable. ”
