I understand what Dad meant. Although I felt sad, at this point in the matter, there was nothing left to linger and redeem.
"Thirteen, what kind of person is that girl from Wuxian Temple that you talked about last time?"
"She is very good. She was born in a family of Jianghu, but she doesn't have the aura of the rivers and lakes. She has a gentle temper and is sensible..." I regained my consciousness and said to Dad: "Father, Wuxian Temple has also said several times and asked me to pick you up. Go, now let’s leave the Jinyutang and go to the Wuxian Temple."
"Go, it's okay, but where I live, I refuse. I don't want to live under the fence." Dad said, "Do you still remember the small village where we used to live? I want to go back and live there. Although a little poor, there are always a few old acquaintances."
I know Dad’s temper, and I don’t force him. He lives in a small village, maybe just as he said, he will be more relaxed and happy.
I took my dad back to the Wuxian Temple. This was his first visit. Wan Yuxiang and the others were very enthusiastic and treated them with hospitality for two days. When two days have passed, Dad will leave.
Wan Miaoran was a little worried and asked me privately if my father was not satisfied with this place.
"No, you don't need to think too much." I shook my head and said, "He is used to living in his original home. Now that he has been away from home for too long, he also misses home."
Wuxian Temple struggled to stay, and Dad always wanted to leave. Finally, Wan Yuxiang asked someone to prepare a gift, but Dad refused to accept it. The two sides gave in several times before Dad took a new dress.
I left the Wuxian Temple again and sent Dad back to the small village where I had lived for many years.
The village is still the original village, and the people are still the same, but in my opinion, everything is not the same as before. Dad and I cleaned up the small courtyard before, and then settled down. When everything was put in place, Dad told me to go back.
"Father, I don't know where to go..."
"A person has too many twists and turns in this life. If you twist and turn once, you will be confused once, and you will have to spend your entire life in confusion. Don't forget your original aspiration, you can always stay."
Many people have said the truths that Dad said, and I have listened a lot. The most difficult thing for people is actually their own hurdle.
I removed my heart barrier before. I thought that there was no taboo, but when I encountered this love character, I still couldn't get rid of it.
I stayed here with Dad for a day, and then left alone. At this moment, I don't know what I am going to do. In the chaotic big river beach, the world is competing with the world, I can't change anything, and I can't stop anything.
I have been wandering for more than ten days, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and some boatmen on the river have already rested. I walked endlessly, and in the middle of the morning that day, I walked to the vicinity of a cliff for hanging corpses. There are usually corpse collectors and passers-by waiting here near Hanging Corpse Cliff, but when the weather is cold, their business becomes more and more deserted, and they may all have rested.
Looking around, I saw a person sitting on the bank of the river. The man was holding a fishing rod, as if fishing.
When I got closer, I saw that it was an old man, thin and dry, sitting on a rock by the river, shaking lightly while fishing.
I didn't understand what was going on with him. Originally, I didn't want to cause trouble casually, so I didn't get too close, just looked at it from a distance.
The old man is sitting in the constant
Shaking, as if dozing off again, his head bumped up and down. It seemed to me that something was wrong. The old man seemed to faint, but he still held the fishing rod and couldn't stop fishing there.
At this moment, the fishing rod trembled suddenly. It should have been a fish. The old man trembled all over and pulled the fishing rod abruptly, but the fish on the fishing rod was so heavy that he couldn't move it.
I also know that fish have great energy in the water. If a two-foot-long fish is in the water, a strong man can't subdue it.
The old man couldn't pull the fishing rod, looked like he was impatient, and suddenly jumped into the river. I was slightly surprised that he was already like this, and he still refused to drop the fish that had just been hooked.
I stopped and looked not far away. Now the water level of the river has dropped, and the current is not very urgent, but I am afraid that the old man will not be able to hold it after he enters the water.
After the old man entered the water, the surface of the water was calm and there was no movement for a long time. I was a bit unable to sit still. I walked directly to the water and looked back and forth. I was afraid that the old man would not be able to come up again after he got into the water. If you can really see him, go down and save him.
I was hesitating when the water suddenly burst, and the old man who had just entered the water appeared. He swam very hard towards the river, as if he had caught the fish out of the water.
When I saw the old man, the old man also saw me, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he stepped onto the river beach.
After he walked to the river beach, he seemed to be really unable to hold on, and fell to the ground. At this time, I was shocked, because the old man took so much effort to fish out of the water, but it was just a stone.
The old man was so exhausted that he couldn't get up when he fell to the ground. His behavior was a little weird, which made me hesitate, and for a moment I didn't know whether to go up and help him.
"I...recognize you..." The old man raised his head and said to me: "On Huangquan Road..."
"Do you recognize me?" I took a closer look at the old man and felt unfamiliar, but when he talked about Huangquan Road, it made me care.
"I saw you on Huangquan Road..."
As soon as the old man said this, he clearly showed his identity. He must be a person on the human road, maybe he had seen me during the time when I was stranded on Huangquan Road.
The old man was afraid that I would not believe it, so he specifically said something at the time, which was completely consistent. I was still a little hesitant in my heart and walked slowly over. The old man still couldn't get up, but he clung to the stone in his hand and refused to let go.
"What are you?" I looked at the old man as if he was ill, and my body was trembling all the time: "What's wrong with you?"
I was hostile to the people on Renjian Road before, but since I went to Huangquan Road once and came out from Huangquan Road, the people on Renjian Road did not feel sorry for me anymore. Therefore, the old man said that he knew me. Only a little hesitation remained, and finally reached out to help him up.
"Whatever I say, you will believe it. If I am really evil, you have already died once." After being lifted up by me, the old man took a breath and said: "My life is not long, Shou Yuan It’s almost done, this time I probably won’t be able to go back."
After listening to the old man’s words, I suddenly realized that he is not suffering from some disease, he
It's just living to the end and dying.
The old man sat down leaning on a stone and took a few breaths. He said that he was called Old Man Mu. As long as he said his name to people on the road, everyone would know him.
"How is Huangquan's corpse hunter?" I have been asking about the life and death of Huangquan's corpse hunter. When I met someone on the human road, I hurriedly asked: "The previous time the people from Qiankun Dao besieged him, how is he now? "
"It's okay." Old Man Mu seemed to understand what I meant, and said: "If the Sect Master had been calculated so easily, he would have died many times. To make a long story short, help me and help me smash this stone away. "
The stone that Old Man Mu had just picked up from the water was about ten kilograms in size. The stone was as white as jade, and it was obviously different from other rocks on the river beach. After soaking in water for a long time, it still hasn't changed.
I took the stone handed by Old Man Mu, and it felt very smooth at the beginning, as if it had been specially polished. Old Man Mu seemed a little too impatient to wait, and urged me to smash the stone away.
It is not difficult to smash this stone away. I don't know what he is going to do. I took the stone and threw it under the Hanging Corpse Cliff towards the foot of the cliff. After losing it twice, this white jade stone suddenly cracked right in the middle.
After the stone broke apart, there were faint lines on the cross section, just like annual rings on the same big tree.
The old man Mu hurried to the front, staring at the cracked stone for a while, his face changed immediately.
"I can't hold it..." The old man Mu immediately turned around, grabbed my arm, and said, "Go north from here. About sixty miles away, there is a river bend. That river bend is like a crescent. Go You can see it."
"What then?" My heart sank, and it seemed that this old man was really dying. He couldn't survive sixty miles away, and he couldn't get in touch with his companions at this time.
"There is an old man about my age in Hewan who is also sitting there fishing. Tell him..." Old Man Mu said, "You tell him, let him tell the clan that that person is still alive."
"Who? Who is still alive?"
"You tell him directly, and he will understand." The old man Mu's gasping movement became smaller and smaller, and said: "Don't worry about me, you go directly..."
The old man Mu kept urging me, but he couldn't take care of himself, and only half a breath. I can't guess what he meant by that the person he said was still alive. Seeing his urging urgency, I could only stand up.
"Then you stay here alone, what are you going to do? You..."
"Life and death are life and death, you can go wherever you come, don't worry about me..." Old Man Mu pointed to the cracked stone and said, "Throw it into the river."
I moved the broken stones and threw them into the river. Only then did Old Man Mu relieve his heart. As soon as his body rolled, he suddenly rolled from the shore into the water.
I was shocked, but then I understood what he meant. He was dying, and he didn't want his body to be collected by someone and thrown to the Ximiao or Hanging Corpse Cliff. He would rather drift with the waves in this big river, wherever it would count.
"We must take... to bring my words to..." The old man Mu was almost out of breath, but still tried his best to explain that I wanted to take back what he said.
