Murong Feng said unhurriedly, "I just want to know, what did you just say?"
"I" Because of excessive nervousness, Brother Liu had long forgotten what he had just said, so he swallowed and vomited.
Murong Feng looked at his panicked face, and knew that this person didn't mean to hide himself, but he was just overwhelmed because he was nervous, so he reminded: "You just said, what's wrong with Zhong Dushan?"
In fact, at this time, how much Murong Feng hoped that this Brother Liu could say that he was talking about it just now, and there was no such thing at all.
However, Brother Liu's words still shattered all of Murong Feng's dreams.
I saw Brother Liu swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then said, "Oh, I mean, Zhong Dushan is dead." ”
"Is what you said true?" Murong Feng was anxious.
"This hero, this is true, I have no grievances with Zhong Dushan, why don't I have anything to do to curse others," Brother Liu said with an oath.
At this time, Murong Feng was completely stunned.
Looking at Murong Feng, he still didn't believe it, so Brother Liu continued: "Good man, don't hide it, I came back from the Zhong family just now, there was a funeral, everyone was dressed in plain clothes, I also saw with my own eyes, Mrs. Zhong is also wearing heavy filial piety, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." After speaking, Brother Liu looked at Murong Feng in horror, hoping that this person would not be angry with him.
Murong Feng realized at this moment that, perhaps, all this was true.
He was stunned for a moment.
"This good man, are you okay?" Brother Liu looked at Murong Feng's face was wrong, so he asked in a hurry.
"I'm fine" After Brother Liu's question, Murong Feng came to his senses.
Then, Murong Feng took out some silver taels from his pocket and put them on the table.
"Xiao Er, this is the money for tea and the money for breaking the teacup. After speaking, Murong Feng left.
And at this moment, the rest of the room was terrified.
Since this person is willing to pay the money, it means that this person is not a thief, but what makes everyone puzzled is why this person has such a big reaction to Zhong Dushan's death.
These people, looking at Murong Feng's back as he gradually moved away, began to whisper.
"Who is this man?"
"Yes, I haven't heard of Zhong Dushan having such friends?"
"It seems that the Zhong family is going to be lively again. ”
And at this moment, Murong Feng had unspeakable pain in his heart.
Master Zhong, who has always been healthy, how could he die suddenly?
For Zhong Dushan, Murong Feng has a deep feeling, after all, over the years, Zhong Dushan's appreciation and cultivation of himself, Murong Feng has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
For a long time, Murong Feng knew that Zhong Dushan's treatment of him was not much different from Zhong Jing and Zhong Shen, even in such a major matter as guarding the lotus back then, it stands to reason that he had no right to interfere as an outsider, but Zhong Dushan still found himself and handed over such a important matter to himself.
Thinking of this, Murong Feng's eyes gradually turned red.
He recalled that five years ago, also in such a summer, Yan'er was taken away by Murong Yingxue, and he once promised Zhong Dushan that after five years, Yan'er would definitely be brought back and the Zhong family would be reunited.
He still remembers that when Zhong Dushan looked at him, the eyes were full of expectation and trust.
However, five years later, he did not fulfill his original promise, and Murong Feng felt extremely ashamed.
From beginning to end, I was sorry for Master Zhong.
However, what Murong Feng really couldn't understand was why Master Zhong died so suddenly?
Master Zhong has always been self-denying, and he shouldn't have had any conflicts with others and then unfortunately passed away.
Is Master Zhong sick?
However, hasn't Zhong Dushan always paid attention to health preservation? Hasn't he always been in good health?
How could such a thing happen all of a sudden?
Is it because the time of five years has arrived, and he has never responded, so Master Zhong was anxious for a while, and then his body couldn't bear it, so he fell ill?
Thinking of this, Murong Feng was even more ashamed, he could never forgive himself.
In the midst of such thoughts, Murong Feng came to Zhong Dushan's house unconsciously.
Before I got to the door, I saw a white cloth hanging on the door.
At this time, Murong Feng sighed in despair, and the thing he didn't want to see the most still appeared.
To be honest, at this moment, Murong Feng didn't have the face to walk in, after all, he didn't know how to face Master Zhong's bones, nor did he know how to face Mrs. Zhong.
Also, Murong Feng felt that he was also sorry for Yan'er.
After all, Master Zhong is Yan'er's biological father, and from beginning to end, Yan'er has not been able to recognize his father.
What's more, there is Wan'er in this.
Five years ago, under the pretext of going to save Yan'er, he deeply hurt Wan'er, but now, he still has nothing to do, so Murong Feng doesn't know how to face Wan'er.
Such ambivalence made Murong Feng entangled for a long time.
However, after all, Zhong Dushan has the grace of knowing him, so for this kindness, Murong Feng must also send this old man on his last journey.
Thinking of this, Murong Feng bit it and walked in.
At the door, the doorman is greeting the guests.
All people are plain.
"This hero, may I ask who you are?" Mending is new and has never seen Murong Feng.
After all, it's been five years, and everything is wrong.
"I'm here to offer condolences," Murong Feng said.
"But," said Mentin, he was in a bit of a dilemma.
After all, I can't let strangers in.
"May I ask you are Master Zhong?"
"An old man" Murong Feng didn't know how to show his identity for a while, so he said so.
"Then you report your honorific name, and I can go in and report it. Mending said.
Murong Feng was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Brother Murong"
Murong Feng looked back and saw that it was Zhong Shen.
It's been five years.
Seeing each other has a different taste.
"Brother Murong" Zhong Shen hurriedly walked over, and then took Murong Feng's hand in surprise and said, "It's really you."
"Zhong Shen, long time no see"
"Brother Murong, I just saw a person's back very similar to you, but I always thought it was my own hallucination, but I didn't expect that all this was true. Zhong Shen said happily.
Five years have passed, and Zhong Shen is still the same as ever, so simple and kind.
"Zhong Shen, Master Zhong's matter, I have already heard about it, the festival mourns and changes" To be honest, Murong Feng didn't know what to say, so he politely said this.
Zhong Shen lowered his head, then sighed and said, "Brother Murong, let's go into the house." ”
So, Murong Feng and Zhong Shen walked into the hall.
And in the hall, it is also white.
It seems that the Zhong family is going to handle Master Zhong's funeral on a large scale this time.
There were many people in the hall, all of whom came to mourn, after all, Zhong Dushan was also a figure with a head and a face in Lingyun Mountain, and such a big thing happened, and all the people came.
"Brother Murong, please come here," Zhong Shen said.
Then Murong Feng followed Zhong Shen to a corner of the room.
Just when Murong Feng didn't understand why Zhong Shen brought him here, a person appeared in front of him.
This person is dressed in heavy filial piety, his face is pale, and the dark circles under his eyes are also very heavy, and it looks like because of this incident, he has not rested well recently.
This person is none other than Mrs. Zhong.
"Mother, who do you see coming?" said Zhong Shen to an old woman.
Madame Zhong raised her head and looked at the person.
Because of her advanced age and poor eyesight, it took a lot of effort for Mrs. Zhong to recognize Murong Feng.
"Mrs. Zhong," Murong Feng said.
At this time, Mrs. Zhong couldn't believe her eyes, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.
And in the next second, such a surprised expression disappeared, replaced by a look of anticipation.
I saw Mrs. Zhong looking left and right, as if she was looking for something.
Murong Feng knew that Mrs. Zhong was looking for Yan'er.
After all, he promised the two old men that he would bring Yan'er back after five years.
However, when Mrs. Zhong found that there were no geese around, she sighed and hung her head.
"Mrs. Zhong" Murong Feng really didn't know what to say at this time.
"That's it," Mrs. Zhong shook her head.
"Mrs. Zhong, I know, I'm sorry for the Zhong family, I"
Before Murong Feng could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhong interrupted him and said, "Murong Shaoxia, what does this have to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”
"Mrs. Zhong, what the hell is going on?" Murong Feng really wanted to know why Master Zhong died suddenly.
"Alas," Mrs. Zhong sighed
"Brother Murong, a few days ago, my father suddenly had a serious illness for some reason, and then, he has been lying in bed, and his health is getting worse and worse.
"However, hasn't Master Zhong's body always been very good?" Murong Feng still couldn't believe it.
"Alas" Mrs. Zhong said at this time: "No matter how good it is, after all, it is an elderly person, so the body is really vulnerable, and if it is a little troubled, it will not work." ”
"Mrs. Zhong, I'm sorry Master Zhong, I didn't fulfill my promise. Murong Feng said with shame.
"Alas, forget it, over the years, in fact, we have also been inquiring about Murong Yingxue's news, but she seems to have evaporated from the world and has never disappeared. Mrs. Zhong said helplessly.
"Yes, I've been looking for it too, but it's all fruitless," Murong Feng said, his tone full of guilt.
"By the way, Brother Murong" Zhong Shen suddenly asked, "How did you know about our family?"
"I was drinking tea in a teahouse, and when I heard someone say this, I didn't believe it at first, but the other party said that the head is the way, so I planned to come and see it myself. Unexpectedly, this is all true. Speaking of this, Murong Feng's heart was very sad.
At this time, all three of them were silent.
"Mrs. Zhong" Murong Feng suddenly said, "I want to kowtow to Master Zhong's spiritual position." ”
Madam Zhong nodded, and then led Murong Feng to the center of the hall.
Zhong Dusk Mountain's spiritual position appeared in front of Murong Feng's eyes.
Murong Feng knelt down, then closed his eyes, and turned all the guilt and all the sorry in his heart into a bang.
Then, Murong Feng did not get up immediately, but knelt down.
With his head on the ground, Murong Feng wanted to say what he had in his heart to Zhong Dushan.
"Master Zhong, the juniors are here to see you off, I didn't expect you to come to such a hurry and leave like this, which makes my heart even more full of guilt. I'm sorry for you, I didn't fulfill the promise I made to you five years ago, I didn't bring Yan'er back, I didn't reunite the Zhong family, I'm sorry for you, I'm even more sorry for Yan'er, I know that Yan'er must be waiting for me in one place, but no matter how hard I try, I can't find any news about Murong Yingxue and Yan'er, so I let you go away with hatred like this, without seeing the last glance of your daughter, and without the father and daughter recognizing each other. Master Zhong, I'm really sorry for you."
Thinking of this, Murong Feng's eyes turned red.
After all, in the past, Murong Feng always felt that it was the Zhong family who owed him, because the Zhong family took away his Wan'er, but it was not until this moment that Murong Feng realized that from now on, he owed the Zhong family.
Zhong Shen saw such a scene, and then hurriedly helped Murong Feng up.
"Brother Murong, my father will definitely know your intentions," Zhong Shen said.
At this time, there were more and more people who came to mourn, and Mrs. Zhong went to say hello separately, so Mrs. Zhong said: "Murong Shaoxia, because there are too many things, I may have to lose my company." ”
"Mrs. Zhong, you should be busy first. Murong Feng said.
Just as Mrs. Zhong was about to leave, Murong Feng suddenly said, "Mrs. Zhong, the junior has something to ask for. ”
"Please speak"
"Master Zhong was very kind to me during his lifetime, and I have never had a chance to repay him, and I have failed Master Zhong, so I want to do my best to help take care of Master Zhong's funeral in these days. Murong Feng said sincerely.
After all, it was the only way he could lighten himself of a little guilt.
Mrs. Zhong thought for a moment, then nodded.
"In that case, I'll rely on you, thank you. Shen'er, you can take Murong Shaoxia to the guest room to rest," Madame Zhong said.
"Good. Brother Murong, you come with me. After speaking, Zhong Shen walked out of the hall with Murong Feng.
Along the way, Zhong Shen kept asking Murong Feng about the situation in the past five years, however, Murong Feng only replied with a match.
After all, Murong Feng at this moment has too many things hidden in his heart.
First of all, Zhong Dushan's death made Murong Feng unable to let go, after all, he always felt that there was also his own reason for this, because he didn't bring Yan'er back after five years, so Master Zhong might have been too worried, so he couldn't afford to get sick.
Secondly, in the past five years, the energy in Yan'er's body has also been unblocked, so that Yan'er will be in a dire situation, and if he can't find Yan'er quickly, then Yan'er will be very dangerous.
Again, after all, in this courtyard, Wan'er lives.
As soon as Wan'er was mentioned, Murong Feng's heart had an indescribable feeling.
After so many years, how is Wan'er doing?
All these questions made Murong Feng uneasy.
At this time, Zhong Shen also saw Murong Feng's uneasiness, so he asked, "Brother Murong, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm probably a little tired, after all, after a long journey, I haven't had a good rest. Murong Feng wanted to use such a reason to prevaricate the past.
Zhong Shen looked at Murong Feng with a tired look, and then said, "Yes, you must be too tired, you go back to the room, just take a good rest." Zhong Shen said.
After a while, the two of them walked to the guest room.
"Brother Murong, you can rest here, because I still have to greet guests, I will leave first, you can sleep well." After saying that, Zhong Shen was about to leave.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about me, hurry up and get busy, I'll just stay alone. Murong Feng said.
Then, Zhong Shen left.
In the room, only Murong Feng was left.
Murong Feng was like a tired person at the moment, and he lay on the bed all of a sudden.
He closed his eyes, hoping that it was all a dream.
Murong Feng couldn't remember how many times he had come to the Zhong family.
I am obviously a member of the Murong family, but I don't know when I started to have a relationship with the Zhong family, and this relationship is getting closer and closer, and it is becoming more and more chaotic.
At this moment, Murong Feng thought that if he hadn't rescued Zhong Shen back then, would he and the Zhong family not have so many stories.
However, in the next second, he denied his idea.
After all, from beginning to end, he was a pawn of Murong Yingxue, and this Murong Yingxue was going to have a story with the Zhong family after all.
Thinking about it, before he knew it, Murong Feng fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard someone call his name: "Brother Murong"
Murong Feng opened his eyes, and when he saw it, it was Zhong Shen.
"Brother Murong, the guests are gone, my mother wants to see you," Zhong Shen said.
At this time, Murong Feng looked out the window, and it was dark.
Then, Murong Feng and Zhong Shen came to Mrs. Zhong's room.
As soon as I entered the door, Mrs. Zhong was waiting inside.
"Mrs. Zhong, are you looking for me?" Murong Feng said.
Mrs. Zhong glanced at Murong Feng and said, "Actually, it's not just me who is looking for you."
"Who else?" asked Murong Feng in confusion.
And Mrs. Zhong did not speak.
At this time, suddenly from behind the screen in the room, a person came out.
And this person made Murong Feng unable to close his mouth in surprise.
