Chapter 224 The bitterness and joy of the past are just a piece of the past
The reason why Murong Feng was so surprised was because the person standing in front of Murong Feng was none other than Zhong Dushan.
"Master Zhong. Murong Feng shouted in surprise.
After all, he has always been immersed in the news that Zhong Dushan has passed away.
Murong Feng's face was full of horror, and he didn't know if this was a dream or real.
And the rest of the people are all very calm as if they had already known the truth.
"What's going on?"
At this time, Zhong Shen walked over, and then looked at Murong Feng with guilt on his face.
"Brother Murong, I" Zhong Shen lowered his head and said, "I'm really sorry, please forgive me for deceiving you." ”
"Zhong Shen, what the hell is going on?" Murong Feng looked at all the people and asked puzzled.
After all, this room of people seems to be the only one in the dark.
"Murong Feng, you can't blame Zhong Shen for this matter, it's all my idea. At this time, Zhong Dushan finally spoke.
"Master Zhong, what the hell is going on? I was very surprised to hear the news of your death on the way, so I rushed over non-stop, and it was all like a funeral, I really believed it. Murong Feng said. 、
Zhong Dushan looked at Murong Feng, who was confused, and then told all the stories.
It turned out that over the years, since Yan'er left, Zhong Dushan has been restless.
Although Murong Feng had promised to bring Yan'er back after five years, after all, Yan'er was Zhong Dushan's biological daughter, so Zhong Dushan's heart was still very uncontrollable.
Therefore, although he had Murong Feng's guarantee, Zhong Dushan still hoped that he would also be able to find Yan'er.
So, over the years, Zhong Dushan has continued to use his connections in the rivers and lakes, and then inquired in many ways to see if there is any news of Yan'er and Murong Yingxue.
However, after so many years, there is still no news from Yan'er.
And seeing that the five-year period is about to expire, after five years, the energy in Yan'er's body will be unsealed, so that Murong Yingxue has another opportunity to take advantage of, and Yan'er's safety will become a matter of concern.
Therefore, for a period of time before, Zhong Dushan had trouble sleeping.
And this Murong Yingxue seems to have evaporated from the world, no matter how much effort Zhong Dushan spends, he can't find it.
So, Zhong Dushan came up with an idea.
Since he can't find Murong Yingxue, he might as well let Murong Yingxue take the initiative.
However, this idea is easier said than done.
After all, how could a scheming person like Murong Yingxue easily take the initiative to show up?
After thinking about it, Zhong Dushan decided to use the news of his death to talk about Murong Yingxue.
Because, Zhong Dushan knew deeply that in Murong Yingxue's heart, what he hated the most was himself.
Therefore, she has always wanted to kill herself with her own hands, but if she knows that she is dead, in this way, her long-cherished wish will be disappointed, so she must be unwilling, and then it will definitely appear.
So, after discussing the news with his wife, Zhong Dushan began to stage such a scene.
However, what Zhong Dushan didn't expect was that this plan did not lure Murong Yingxue out, but found Murong Feng.
After listening to Zhong Dushan's words, Murong Feng suddenly realized.
"Master Zhong, it turned out to be a false alarm. That's fine, since you're okay, I'm relieved. Murong Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm really sorry to worry you, but if I don't think of this method, there is really nothing I can do," Zhong Dushan said apologetically, his tone full of helplessness.
"Brother Murong, because I wanted to make things as if they were real, besides, there were many people in the hall at that time, so although I wanted to tell you everything at the time, I was worried that the matter would be revealed, so I had to lie to you. Zhong Shen still said guiltily.
"Okay, Zhong Shen, since I already know the truth of the matter, of course, I can understand your distress, so you don't need to apologize. Murong Feng patted Zhong Shen on the shoulder, and then said.
"In that case, let's think about what we need to do in the future. Mrs. Zhong said at this time.
"Yes, Master Zhong, what are you going to do?" Listening to Mrs. Zhong's words, Murong Feng asked.
"Since yesterday, I have arranged a large number of people to convey the news of my death, I think that it will not be long before Murong Yingxue is far away, and he should have heard of it. Zhong Dushan said.
"In that case, it won't be long before she will definitely send it to the door herself," Zhong Shen also said.
"I found a room that was used as my morgue with a coffin in it, but the inside of the coffin was empty. Because Murong Yingxue hates me to the bone, since she can't kill me with her own hands, she must think about whipping my corpse or something after I die. That way, she will definitely go to the morgue, and when the time comes, we can take action. Zhong Dushan said.
Listening to Zhong Dushan's words, Murong Feng felt infinite emotion.
No one wants to announce the news of his death while he is still alive, but in order to save his daughter, this dying old man let go of all taboos and decided to use the news of his death to change things.
Besides, the whole plan is so meticulous and leaky, that I have always believed it to be true.
It seems that the so-called licking of calves is really better than seeing it.
Seeing that Murong Feng was a little distracted, Zhong Dushan asked, "Murong Feng, how is it, do you think my plan is feasible?"
Zhong Dushan's words pulled Murong Feng back from his contemplation.
"Master Zhong, this method is really good, and at the same time, I feel very ashamed. Zhong Dushan said.
"What are you asking?" Zhong Dushan asked puzzled.
"Master Zhong, five years ago, I swore to you, saying that I would bring Yan'er back within five years and reunite the people of the Zhong family, and at the same time, I also swore to Yan'er when Mei Wanli sealed the energy for Yan'er, saying that after five years, when the energy in Yan'er's body reappeared, I would take Yan'er away. However, I did not fulfill either of these two promises. ”
Speaking of this, Murong Feng was ashamed to say that he couldn't go on.
Zhong Dushan walked to Murong Feng's side, then patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Murong Feng, I know that you have done your best, and I have been inquiring about Yan'er's news all these years, but it may be that this Murong Yingxue deliberately does not want us to know her whereabouts, so you don't have any guilt." ”
At this time, Murong Feng suddenly had an idea.
So, he looked at Zhong Dushan, and then said cautiously: "Master Zhong, I have one thing to ask for. ”
"If there's anything, just ask. ”
"That's right," Murong Feng said solemnly: "Master Zhong, since Murong Yingxue will come back sooner or later, I want to stay here, although my martial arts are not very strong, but I will do my best to help you deal with this Murong Yingxue together, and then, the wild goose will come out." ”
After Murong Feng finished speaking, he felt uneasy in his heart.
After all, this matter is a family affair after all, and he is an outsider after all, so it is not easy to interfere, besides, the Zhong family still lives with his old lover, if he wants to stay, maybe it will be an embarrassment for the Zhong family.
However, because of guilt, Murong Feng really wanted to do his best to do something for the Zhong family.
So, he looked at Zhong Dushan uneasily but sincerely.
Zhong Dushan looked at Murong Feng with a smile, and then said, "Murong Feng, what you said is exactly what I wanted. ”
"Master Zhong, what do you mean?"
"Do you know, although it is said that my martial arts are good, but after all, I am also old, and for so many years, this Murong Yingxue must have been practicing constantly, so even if I use this method to draw Murong Yingxue out, I have no chance of winning against her. When I heard that you were coming, I was thinking how nice it would be if you could stay and be a helper to me. However, I know that I have been with the Zhong family and I have too many things to trouble you, so I am really embarrassed to speak. Unexpectedly, you took the initiative yourself, so, I really don't know what to say. ”
Listening to Zhong Dushan's words, Murong Feng smiled heartily.
"In that case, I'm staying. Murong Feng said.
"Brother Murong, it's really good that you can stay. At this time, Zhong Shen said suddenly.
"Zhong Shen, look at you. Mrs. Zhong couldn't help laughing when she saw her honest son so happy.
"Of course I'm happy. Zhong Shen continued: "Brother Murong Feng's martial arts are strong, so he will definitely be able to save our sister." ”
Then, Zhong Shen looked at Murong Feng and said, "Brother Murong Feng, you don't know, as soon as you stay, it really solves a big favor for us." You also know that my father is old, and although I have lived in a martial arts family since I was a child, due to my personality, I have never been interested in things on the rivers and lakes, so I only have a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu. My eldest brother is also very good at martial arts, but,"
Suddenly, Zhong Shen said this, and then seemed to realize that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly shut up.
And Murong Feng was also shocked at this time.
What happened to Zhong Jin?
Although Murong Feng has never had a good impression of Zhong Jin, after all, Zhong Jin is Wan'er's husband, and once something happens to Zhong Jin, Murong Feng is still very worried about Wan'er.
And at this time, because of Zhong Shen's unintentional words just now, the air seemed to be silent.
Just when Murong Feng didn't know how to alleviate such an embarrassment, Zhong Dushan broke the embarrassment of Zhang.
"Okay, it's not too early, Murong Feng, you can go back and rest, tomorrow and later, I have to work for you. ”
Listening to Zhong Dushan's meaning, it was obvious that he wanted to end the topic that Zhong Shen had just said.
So, Murong Feng was also very interested, and then said, "Okay, since it's getting late, I'll go back first." ”
After speaking, Murong Feng returned to his room.
However, Murong Feng, who was lying on the bed, really couldn't sleep.
After all, in just one dark night, so many things had happened, which really overwhelmed Murong Feng.
It turned out that Zhong Dushan was not dead, it turned out that everything was a ploy used by Zhong Dushan in order to make Murong Yingxue reappear in the rivers and lakes.
Originally, Murong Feng should be happy that Zhong Dushan was still alive and healthy, but at this time, I don't know why, Murong Feng's heart actually had an indescribable sadness.
Of course, this kind of sadness is not aimed at Zhong Dushan, but because of Zhong Shen's words just now.
According to Zhong Shen's meaning, Zhong Jin seems to have an accident.
But what happened to Zhong Jin?
Could Wan'er also be affected?
As soon as he thought of this, Murong Feng tossed and turned even more.
After all, for so many years, although he was thinking about fulfilling his promise to Yan'er, in the depths of Murong Feng's heart, he still had an unspeakable concern for Wan'er.
Murong Feng walked to the window at this time, and at this moment, there was a bright moon outside the window.
Wan'er, Murong Feng muttered, I don't know if you are doing well at this moment.
As the saying goes, if you don't forget, there will be an echo.
Just when Murong Feng was thinking about Wan'er, the door suddenly rang, and someone was knocking.
Could it be that Master Zhong forgot to tell himself something, Murong Feng first thought of this.
So, he hurried to open the door.
However, the moment the door opened, Murong Feng couldn't believe his eyes.
Because, in the dark night, the person standing in front of him was none other than Wan'er, who he had been thinking about just now.
In this way, in front of his former lover, Murong Feng was stunned.
But Wan'er is quite calm.
She looked at Murong Feng.
It's been five years.
Five years ago, he tried his best to get Murong Feng to recognize him, but in exchange for a heartbreaking result.
Wan'er herself doesn't know if the wound back then has healed now.
However, there is one thing that Wan'er knows clearly, that is, when she saw Murong Feng for the first time, her heart still couldn't help but tremble.
The man standing in front of her has now become a weathered man, and Wan'er is very moved by this alone.
"Long time no see," Wan'er whispered, lowering her head.
"En," Murong Feng responded.
The reunion in the world is about like this, a thousand words, can only be turned into a sentence that has not been seen for a long time.
Wan'er pursed her lips, and then said, "What, isn't it inconvenient to go in?"
At this time, Murong Feng realized that he had been rude for so long, and he didn't let Wan'er into the house for so long.
So, Murong Feng hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm confused." After that, he invited Wan'er into the house.
Wan'er was not as restrained as Murong Feng when she arrived.
Five years have made this woman precipitate more, become more introverted, and more dignified.
Ever since Wan'er entered the door, Murong Feng had been cramped and uneasy.
Perhaps because of guilt, Murong Feng never knew how to speak.
"Unexpectedly, Yan'er turned out to be the young lady of the Zhong family," Wan'er said suddenly.
Murong Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with emotion: "Yes, it turns out that the truth of the matter is really something that we have never imagined. ”
"I always think of when we were young, at that time, Yan'er suffered so much, I felt so distressed, whenever Yan'er healed, looking at her white hair, always crying, and although I felt very uncomfortable, but I still had to comfort Yan'er, tell her that it is because of Yan'er's specialness that we have white hair that we don't have, which is a good sign, and Yan'er was still laughing at that time, so I was happy when I heard such a lie. However, I didn't expect that my unintentional words at that time turned out to be true. Yan'er is indeed a special person, she has such extraordinary parents, it's a pity," Speaking of this, Wan'er was suddenly sad.
Seeing Wan'er's brows tightly locked, and at the same time, there was loss in those big eyes, Murong Feng was very heartbroken, so he said: "Alas, there is no way for us to change the past. Fortunately, Yan'er eventually grew up safely. ”
Speaking of this, Murong Feng suddenly realized something.
How can Yan'er know about Yan'er?
So, Murong Feng voiced his doubts.
Wan'er smiled, and then said: "After all, I am also the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, I will naturally know about such a big thing, besides, now that Master Zhong is doing the funeral with such fanfare, we all know the reasons inside." ”
Wan'er then added: "By the way, only one person doesn't know about this matter."
"Who?"
"Shui'er, that is, the former lover. ”
"Why?" Murong Feng asked puzzled.
"This is all Master Zhong's hard work, because if Shui Er knows that Yan'er is the real child of the Zhong family, Shui Er will not be able to accept it for a while. Therefore, what the Zhong family said to Shui'er was that Zhong Dushan pretended to die this time in order to lure out the former enemy, without mentioning that he had anything to do with Yan'er. ”
Hearing Wan'er say this, Murong Feng was immediately very emotional, he didn't expect that Master Zhong would be such a delicate person, for a person who is not his own flesh and blood, there is such a deep feeling.
At this time, Murong Feng suddenly found that after chatting for so long, he and Wan'er had been talking about other people's things.
In fact, in the depths of Murong Feng's heart, how much he wanted to know whether Wan'er had a good time over the years.
However, it was such a simple sentence, and Murong Feng felt that he really didn't know how to speak.
After thinking about it, Murong Feng finally gritted his teeth and said a sentence: "What happened back then"
Then, Murong Feng couldn't go on.
Wan'er didn't expect that Murong Feng would suddenly say such a thing, so she was a little surprised.
However, soon, Wan'er adjusted her mood.
She smiled and said, "Forget it, didn't you also have a hard time back then? Didn't you have to rush to save Yan'er at that time? I didn't know the truth at the time, but later, I knew the truth of the matter, and I didn't have any resentment towards you." ”
Looking at Wan'er's calm expression, Murong Feng's heart felt some comfort.
After all, time has passed, and what was painful at the time now seems to be just a thing of the past.
