Chapter 2 Distinguishing Right from Wrong in the Burrow
(Don't ask me why, I'm just going to change the five chapters !!!!!)
When Su Changan pushed open the door of Yuheng's room, Fan Ruyue had disappeared, thinking that she had already left.
Yu Heng was sitting on a chair near the window at this time, squinting his eyes, as if he was pretending to sleep, and as if he was looking at the spring outside the window. He was very old, a little scruffy. His gray hair grew haphazardly on his head like a weed, unkempt and thin. The wrinkles on his face were also a little terrifying, and the ravines and ravines were back and forth, comparable to the steep terrain of Youyun Ridge.
In Su Chang'an's memory, Nagato also has some old people, but they still come out and walk around somewhat, especially on a sunny spring day, after all, in a place like Northland, such a warm sunshine is rare.
But Yuheng is different, he always likes to stay in his room, except for eating, Su Changan almost never sees him walk out of his room. He also persuaded him for this, but Yuheng always smiled and said that he was old, and he could live longer by resting more.
Su Changan walked to Yuheng's side with some hesitation, he was a little worried about whether he was too reckless, he had just caused such a big thing as the Eight Desolation Courtyard, and he poked a basket in the Peony Pavilion yesterday. He wasn't afraid of Yu Heng's scolding, he was just worried that it would make Yu Heng angry and affect his already not very good body.
"Are you here?" Su Changan walked to Yu Heng's side and stayed quietly for half an hour before Yu Heng found him. He sat up his body, which was already half-lying on the chair, and looked at Su Changan. His eyes seemed to be a little open, but they still looked like there was only a narrow slit.
"Yes. Su Changan responded in a low voice, as if he was afraid of accidentally waking up something.
"How was yesterday?" asked Yuheng, his spirits weren't very good, and he spoke a little quietly. Su Changan needed to listen very carefully to distinguish the syllables in his words.
Su Changan felt sad for no reason, as if something was in his throat. It has only been two months since he met Yuheng, but in these two months, Yuheng has aged extremely fast. His voice went from being full of air outside the Tianlan Courtyard at the beginning to being inaudible now. It seems that since Su Changan came to Tianlan, this old man who has guarded the human race for a hundred years has been aging at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.
But Su Changan didn't want to show his emotions. It took him a few breaths to calm down his mood, and he tried to say in a very ordinary tone: "It's not a big deal, but I saw that Miss Fan Ruyue was pitiful, so I helped her redeem herself." ”
"You're chivalrous. Yu Heng's squinted eyes seemed to widen, and he said again: "This is very similar to your other senior uncle and ancestor. ”
"Who?" Su Changan was interested.
"Kaiyang. Yu Heng slowly spit out a name.
"Kaiyang?" Su Changan thought for a while, he knew the name, but he had some doubts. So he asked: "I heard that Uncle Kaiyang is still alive, but he hasn't returned to Chang'an for many years. Uncle Yuheng, do you know where he went, and what did he do?"
The aura on Yu Heng's body suddenly became a little disordered when Su Changan asked this question, but it quickly recovered. This time is extremely fast, so fast that Su Changan can't even notice it. But Yu Heng was silent for a while before he spit out such five words.
"He's going to kill people. He said it in an extremely bland manner. It's as if he was saying that he went to the West Market of Chang'an to do some business, or went to the South Market to drum up some business.
Su Changan had heard such words, and in the north two years ago, Mo Tingyu had used the same tone and said the same thing.
Su Changan's heart twitched for no reason, and he felt that this was unusual. But he didn't know where to start, and he didn't know whether he should ask or not. So, after hesitating, he chose to remain silent.
Yu Heng didn't seem to want to dwell on this issue either, and he smiled extremely ugly. Then he asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me about yesterday?"
"Yesterday's incident?" Su Changan was stunned, and didn't seem to understand what Yu Heng was referring to.
"For example, why didn't I let Chu Xifeng save you again. ”
Su Changan was stunned, he said: "I didn't tell my uncle and ancestor when I left with my senior sister yesterday, and my uncle didn't know where we went, and naturally he didn't know that we would be in danger." So"
"Although Chang'an City is big, it is only a hundred miles away. If I want to know anything, no one can hide it from me. Su Changan's words were interrupted by Yu Heng's sudden voice.
His face changed because of these words. He has always trusted Yuheng, and this trust is a complete and unabashed trust. He subconsciously thought that Yuheng would repay him with this, just like Wutong, knowing that he was in trouble, even if he was thousands of miles away, he would come to save him.
Of course, Su Changan didn't take these things for granted, but his heart was inevitably lost because of this. And he couldn't hide things in his heart, so he asked, "Why?"
Yu Heng suddenly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Su Changan's head. But Su Changan is already sixteen years old, but a normal sixteen-year-old boy will not be too short. So Yu Heng, who was sitting, couldn't touch Su Chang'an's head even if he tried so hard.
But fortunately, Su Changan seemed to be aware of Yuheng's intentions. He hurriedly lowered his head and leaned forward again, so that Yu Heng's hand could easily touch him.
After doing this, Yu Heng withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "Because, we can't always protect you." ”
"I will die, and Chu Xifeng will leave sooner or later. But you're still young, and you'll have to face the world alone one day. And the world is perhaps a hundred times worse than what you see. ”
Su Changan was very sad, of course he knew that Yuheng would die. The wrinkles on his face, the white hair on his head, and even the vicissitudes of his tone when he spoke, all told Su Changan that the person in front of him was drooping and old. But he didn't want to think about it, he tried to lie to himself, Yuheng was a star. Star Death is so powerful, how could he die? But when such words came out of Yu Heng's mouth, the dream he had been making up for himself collapsed at this moment.
His eyes were red, and something seemed to be swirling in his eyes. But he was so stubborn that he held back the things in his eyes and said, "Chang'an knows that he is wrong, and he will not be so reckless in the future." ”
Yu Heng shook his head and said, "Don't do something you're not sure about easily, but if you do, then don't admit your mistake easily." What's more, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing, or that there is nothing wrong with many people and things in this world. ”
Su Changan was puzzled, in this way, he had heard Wutong talk about it in Youyun Ridge. But at the time he didn't approve of it, but now he understands it.
"Uncle Shi, then you say, is that Peony Pavilion Master good or evil?"
"What do you think?" Yu Heng didn't answer him, but asked.
Su Changan blurted out: "He forced Fan Ruyue, who didn't want to be a girl in that business, to make such a dirty living." Nature is evil. ”
"Then do you know that Fan Ruyue is the granddaughter of the anti-general Fan Huangling, and when she was captured, she was to be beheaded according to the law of Great Wei. If it hadn't been for Long Xiangjun who bought her, she would have died a few years ago. How can I wait for you to save her?"
Su Changan was stunned, but he couldn't answer. But he still felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he frowned and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yu Heng.
"Then you tell me again, is the yin mountain turbid good or bad?"
Su Changan didn't rush to answer this time, he thought about it very seriously before he said: "His disciple insulted his master, and I challenged his disciple according to his rules." But he protects his shortcomings, and even bullies the small with the big, so he is naturally not a good person. ”
"Then if one day, Du Hongchang becomes more powerful in cultivation than you, and his sword skills are more exquisite than yours. He wants to kill you, Chu Xifeng protects you and kills him for you. That Chu Xifeng is good or bad. Yu Heng's squinted eyes flashed with some inexplicable look.
Su Changan was speechless for a while, and his mind couldn't help flashing with that kind of situation. He felt that Chu Xifeng didn't seem to be wrong, but what Yin Shanyun did didn't seem to be much different from Chu Xifeng, but in his opinion, it seemed to be wrong. This made him a little confused. For the first time, he began to suspect that something he had always believed might not be as true as he had imagined.
"What does Uncle Shi mean? Could it be that I'm wrong?" Su Changan decided not to think about these things that he couldn't figure out.
"As I said, there is no right or wrong in many things in this world. You are not wrong, Yin Shan is not wrong, and even Long Xiangjun is not necessarily wrong. What you have to do is actually very simple, just four words. ”
"Which four words?"
"A clear conscience. ”
