Chapter 4 Love Funeral
A shimmer of light in the snow. Crystal into a cool world.
If you don't look up at the night of the sunken stars and the clouds of the dark moon. It's almost gleeful. Have fun. Forget that this jade is not a pure paradise. It was still the devastated world.
There was not a trace of movement in the sky. Chilled and iron-clad. Frosty and cold capital. Even the wind stopped whimpering as if it were frozen.
The doors and windows of thousands of households inside and outside Beijing are tightly closed. Lights are scattered throughout. Light and dark are uneven. Like the embers of a charcoal fire.
Two black shadows are like arrows. Ride through the snow between the pavilions and lanes. Shooting into the deep darkness. to command the earth. It's like two shooting stars.
Jing Wenzhong wanted to catch up with him and capture him in one go. However, Liao Gushi turned east and west. It's as hard to catch as a loach in a ditch. And it's blazing fast. That's a lot more than when he left the alliance. Such a swift entry. I didn't expect it.
In a blink of an eye. Liao Gushi has reached the bottom of the city wall. Lift up. Hand and foot use as fast as a tanuki.
Jing Wenzhong flashed out of the alley. When you look up. Liao Gushi is more than a foot away from the city.
Although it is far apart. It's not really real in the night. But he still had a familiar feeling in his heart.
Liao Gushi was originally his nephew. Although the character is withdrawn. Don't talk much. But the two families are in close contact. The Oriental Great Sword has been studying in the Sword Cultivation Hall for a long time. In family matters, there are many kinds of care. The two are either in the alliance or in private. Always look down and don't look up.
However, this familiarity. But it's not the kind of familiarity I should have with him. Jing Wenzhong felt strange in his heart. I couldn't think of a reason for it for a while.
In a flash, Liao Gushi had already passed over the city. He didn't have time to think about it. Hurry up and chase after it.
It's not far out of town. Then they entered the shanty town. Most of the houses here are made of adobe. Low and tattered. Some of the roofs are made of thatch. Some of them are reeds to build earth. Most of them are old. And the two sides of the narrow alley are full of firewood and branches. Extremely difficult to walk. Liao Gushi is extremely familiar with the road. It walks straight like a gopher through a ditch. The speed does not decrease but rises. Apparently there was calculation and preparation.
Jing Wen raised his breath and jumped onto the wall. Pick up the roof walking. Although many places are unbearable. But he can still cope with it with his light skills. Finally, there is a condescending advantage. Don't lose sight of your goal. In this way, I chased another cup of tea. Out of the shed. The city is drifting away. Beneath his feet is already a far open field. Seeing that Liao Gushi's figure was far ahead, he did not enter the sparse forest. Disappear and appear. The speed is still unabated. I know that his young man's martial arts body is in the period of the rising sun. The four wilderness are cold. Chase it down yourself. I'm afraid it's also a waste of physical strength. He froze at his figure. He said loudly: "Stop." I have something to say. ”
Liao Gushi's footsteps did not stop. and went out ten feet away. That's when he stopped. Hidden behind trees.
Jing Wenzhong said loudly: "Xiao Shi." You and I are close relatives. Why bother to meet each other. In fact, everything is not without room for recovery. You're messing around with the Alliance Leader. What's in it for yourself. ”
Liao Gushi was speechless for a long time. And don't turn back. Nor answered.
Jing asked, "Me and your mother." It's not what you think. How can you believe rumors? Accusing her of innocence. Even ......"
"Shut up. ”
Liao Gushi intercepted: "Since you have done it. And what is there to dare not recognize. ”
Jing Wenzhong suppressed his anger. There was a lot of pain in his voice: "You kid. You don't know anything at all. When your mother was still in the boudoir. I did have a ...... with you."
Liao Gushi hissed: "Are you finally willing to admit it?" ”
"You listen to me......"
"Good. You said. ”
Half an hour apart. Jing Wenzhong said slowly: "Back then, I loved swords and became obsessed. Regarded by his family as an idler who does not do his job. Later, I didn't care about anything. Abandoned everything to come to the Hundred Swords Alliance. The reason why your mother came all the way to Beijing to find me. It's also angry with the family...... Alas. Actually, it's all in the past. What's the point? Our story is very vulgar. But he lived to his old age. to know why it is vulgar. It's because the world is the way it is. ”
He sighed. continued: "When I was young. We all think we can have a different life. Come over and look back. It turned out to be my new shoes. In fact, it is still the old path that others have repeated for thousands of years. Originally, I thought. If you enter Beijing with your own skills, you will have to show it. But after joining the alliance, he didn't have a good time. After three years, I am still depressed. At that time, my mind was full of thinking about how to climb up. I didn't get angry when I saw her coming. I'm afraid at that time. planted a root of resentment in her heart. ”
Liao Gushi said: "If you have a complaint, she will take the initiative to sacrifice herself to help you." Jing Dajian. You're really good. ”
Jing asked: "Your father was in the league back then. In terms of talents, martial arts are well-known. At that year's sword trial conference, the call was very high. Studying the Sword Hall is a sure thing. To say that your mother did that at my behest. You've wronged me. But when she knocked on the side. I really have no objection. Think about it. Her later decision. It's really a gamble with me......"
He spoke in a lower and lower voice. The sound of dead branches in the sparse forest. It's cold.
The north wind is gently rippling. Flashing clothes. It makes him more like a wooden sculpture with a garment on it.
Jing asks for a kind of laryngeal peduncle. It's been a long time. Only then did he sigh out: "Alas...... Man. The emotional matter is over with pain. It's nothing. Over the years. It's your mother who suffers. She lives with her husband and children. Watch me soar. The distance from her is getting farther and farther away. Gradually, he married and had daughters. It became two families...... Me and your aunt. Always quarrelsome. If you quarrel, your mother will persuade you. And she and your father have always respected each other. Never blushed. In the eyes of outsiders. We may not be as happy as your family. But I know. They treat each other with respect. What a kind of relative without a sense of intimacy. Child. That kind of cold. You've been there. I know it in my heart. But you won't understand. A real couple shouldn't be like that. ”
There was silence behind the trees.
Jing Wenzhong raised his face and looked at the sky: "The years are ruthless. We're all old. Maybe in her heart. The only thing that can be talked about with consolation. It was I who was able to grant my wish. So that she didn't pay in vain. But over the years, I've been complacent. But my heart grew colder and colder. More and more nostalgic. If I were to live it all over again. Maybe I'll choose to die in my hometown. Live a peaceful life with your mother. But there was no turning back from the bow. How can we catch up with the old days? ”
Speaking of which, he paused for a moment. Suddenly laughed again. Shaking his head, he said, "I have no experience." How can you see through it? Maybe even if it's all over again. I'll go down the same path. Divorced from reality. It's all just empty talk. A lot of things in this world. It's all logical and contrary to human feelings. Acting from human feelings is contrary to the law. Right and wrong are hard to say. Some others see it wrong. It was a logical fit between me and her. Child. Your mother is a bitter person. You're a wretch. Your father is studying in the Sword Cultivation Hall. It's rare to see each other all year round. You're too lonely. Except for your mother. No one can walk into your heart. But I didn't expect that. How can you do such a ruthless ......"
He took a half step forward: "At that time I saw your mother covered in blood. I want to tear you apart. But I knew I couldn't do that. You are your mother's only blood and bones. If I hurt you. Her spirit in heaven will not rest either. Child. I am the one who buried your mother's life. You're completely wrong enough. But that's what life is. People can't change the things of the past. Rather than let it be a burden on you and me. It's better to think about how to break through this game. Actually, you'll know when you're my age. Love and hatred are too illusory. I don't have half a point in my hand. Manly husband. It should be based on reality. Aim high. Everything needs to be looked forward. If you're just growing. And not to mature. Wouldn't that mean you have to be a child who doesn't grow up all the time? ”
He observes the movement. Seeing that Liao Gushi was behind the tree, there was no response. I don't know if it's weighing in my heart. Still didn't listen at all. Then he raised his voice again and said, "Now in this world." I also have only two relatives left, you and Xiaoyu. With my current position in the alliance and your father's influence in the martial arts. Don't worry about arranging a bright future for you. Think about it. Even if you're away from the world. Bearing the notoriety of killing his mother. Pursued by the Alliance. What joy is there in life? ”
He said. While slowly leaning forward. "Even if you declare it to the world. It ruined my reputation. How would your father be in a mood? And what do you get out of it? Does your father think that his son is glorious to stand up for himself? Will people praise you for your righteousness in killing your relatives? He is an out-and-out defender. Wake up. This kind of thing will just become an after-dinner conversation. It's not just a few of us who have become jokes. The entire Hundred Swords Alliance will also follow Dai Sha and Dust. ”
The tree that Liao Gushi leaned on was getting closer and closer.
"You don't care about me and yourself. You should also think about Uncle Zheng who loves you. Think of light rain. It's not easy for your Uncle Zheng to work hard. Your sister is a girl's house. There is such a family history. How to get married. You can get married. What will her husband's family think of her? Do you want her to be a nun? Facing the green lantern ancient Buddha, he quietly went to the end of his life. You just want the pleasure of the moment. Have you ever thought of how many people's lifelong pursuit and happiness are in your hands? Shen Yuan has died because of you. Do you still want to take this personal disaster. The expansion turned into a catastrophe that destroyed everyone. ”
"Shut up. ”
"Shut up. ”
"Shut up. ”
Liao Gushi roared several times. It's as terrible as a scream.
This mournful voice was extremely sharp. Heart-wrenching. Jing Wenzhong was so shocked that he couldn't help but take a step back. His face changed color.
I saw Liao Gushi turn around suddenly: "It's you." It's all because of you. ”
