Chapter 148: Three Days
I don’t know how close friendship can bring people, but the fact that three people at this age still take a bath together, from the setting sun to the starry sky, is a silent proof, right?
I think Qinhuai and Surou feel this way about fateful friendship, and so do they.
After taking a bath, Qinhuai and Surou were going back. They wanted to leave more time for other people, so the three of us were walking through the city arm in arm. After sending Qinhuai and Surou to their residence, I suddenly
There were thousands of words, but they turned into a bear hug and two hard punches on each other's chests.
"Let's go." I said simply. Maybe for them, there might be a chance to meet again in this month, even if I have to retreat and practice hard.
But for me, this may really be the last time we meet. I don't want them to see the moment I turn around. All my memories of them rush into my heart and turn into tears, filling my eyes, so I can only simply say goodbye.
He said this reluctantly and left.
"Waiting for you to come back, Chengyi."
"Sanwa'er, you are invincible and you will win." They said goodbye to me loudly, which was actually a blessing for the war.
While letting tears flow freely, I waved my hand to express that I understood, so be it, and then walked in the other direction. My family lived there, and I wanted to see them.
This is our farewell, Qinhuai, Surou. I wiped away my tears. I feel that that sentence is alive in their lives and has given me enough comfort. My years have been deposited in the memories of each person.
Here, that is the burial of my own will that is about to disappear.
"Oh, old man, you need to take a rest tonight. Let's go see him tomorrow. You don't even know what time it is."
"You're such a long-winded old woman, why didn't you say you're coming to see us today? I think he's become an official and is proud of himself. He might be drinking with someone now."
"Dad, I don't quite understand these things about my brother, but don't complain in front of him. I'm worried because I'm going to fight in a month."
"Sister, don't worry, our brother is extraordinary, he will be fine."
"You said, this kid is going to fight, he"
"Old man, why are you crying all of a sudden? You, don't be like this."
"I didn't cry. Which of your eyes saw me crying? So did you. What are you doing? There are outstanding people here, and the food you eat is something ordinary people can't eat. What are you cooking here? What my son needs now is
Great tonic.”
"What do you know? Is there anything better than the food cooked by my mother? You old man, don't get angry at me if you can't find someone to scold you."
My family was all arranged to live in a courtyard. When I arrived, a Snow Mountain disciple who was guarding the courtyard opened the door for me. At my signal, he didn't make much noise, but my parents didn't.
It was a loud voice. I heard these conversations while standing in the yard before I even entered the house.
I suddenly froze, then squatted down and pushed my chest with my fist until it hurt, and then I stopped myself from choking. I silently warned myself a hundred times in my heart, Chen Chengyi, you must pretend to be fine.
people, must, must
Then he stood up, took a deep breath, rubbed his red eyes, then deliberately made a loud noise, pushed the door open and walked in.
Just in time, I met my mother who heard the noise and came to open the door.
"Mom." I called out, pretending to smile easily, then sniffed deliberately, and asked with some surprise: "Mom, what are you cooking? It smells so good?"
My mother suddenly became happy. She took my hand and shouted to my father: "Who said just now that my son will not come? Look, isn't Chengyi here? You old man
, it’s always been like this, I haven’t seen you have some stability even after decades!”
"Huh, I'm so late, I might as well not come." Dad was a little reluctant to get off the stage. He was obviously very happy and deliberately turned away to pretend to be angry.
I walked over with a smile, pulled my two sisters, and sat in front of my dad together, and then said: "I woke up and felt hungry, so I came here. Isn't that what happened when I was a kid? I was hungry outside.
I came back to find my parents and asked for something to eat."
"Haha, what I'm saying is, Chengyi, I made hot pot soup for you, and I'll put the vegetables in it in a minute. Wasn't this your favorite when you were a kid? It's called spicy hot pot." My mother was very happy when she heard this.
Then he quickly ran to another room, and even prepared a place for my mother to cook.
I looked at my mother's happy back, feeling inexplicably sad, but what was on my face was an expectant and relaxed smile. As soon as I sat down, my eldest sister started asking me about the war, and my second sister also looked at me worriedly.
, my father, who was pretending to be angry, suddenly turned around, completely forgetting what he was angry about just now, and looked at me worriedly.
The care of family members is never less, whether it is the power of blood, whether it is the years of relying on each other, which has already carved a mark of mutual connection in the life and soul, it is always like the warmest stove in winter, making people
Feel relaxed and relied on from the inside.
My smile became a little stiff, so I stood up, found a Go chess set in the room, and placed it on the table. Rooms in the Snow Mountain area usually have this set. I don’t know if it is used to relax the disciples.
Now, some of my wishes have come true.
"Actually, this battle shouldn't be dangerous for me, because now I'm shouldering the responsibility of the Snow Mountains, and what they have to do is try to protect me." I deliberately said it calmly, but in fact, this
In every battle, the saying given to me by the Snow Mountain Lineage is always the same, that is, I am the key. Even if I don't know where I am, the key on the battlefield often means danger.
While I was talking, I put down the Go board and placed the Go pieces in front of me and my dad. My dad looked at me worriedly and asked, "Can the Snow Mountain Lineage protect you?"
"Haha, dad, do you know? There are so many great masters in the snow mountain lineage. Do you think my master is great? My master is not ranked among them." I said it deliberately to be exaggerated, but actually it was to be lenient.
their hearts.
As soon as I said this, my dad and two sisters felt relieved. The second sister took one of my arms, and the eldest sister put her hand on my shoulder, just like when we were young and had to pull me to go shopping, we were so intimate.
cling to me
"Dad, come, play chess with me. I will be practicing in seclusion soon. Suddenly I just want to play chess with you." I said casually, and then I leaned closer to the eldest and second sister.
Deep in their hearts, they really like me as their younger brother. They have too many memories that cannot be forgotten. Unfortunately, what they cannot say out loud is that I am about to disappear without a trace. If they knew, it would be difficult for them to face it.
It's better to let them never know and I just disappear without a trace.
I thought a little sadly, but my father over there had already placed a chess piece, and said happily: "You three have been close friends since you were young, and you are just a little kid, and your two sisters are doting on each other."
My sister, I would have beaten you long ago."
"My sister loves me." I smiled happily and dropped a chess piece. There was pride in my tone and a deep attachment to my family.
"You still want to play chess with me. I have almost forgotten this skill. I can't remember the last time I played chess with you." Dad was carefully arranging the chess pieces. It was a very unintentional sentence, but it was very meaningful.
Sad.
Many years ago, I left them, and what I deeply felt was the pain of a child that I wanted to raise but could not wait for. But now that I want to take the first step, what I feel is a feeling of being afraid that they will be sad, and willing to endure it. This may be
Family love, in many cases, transcends death, and what remains is only a strong desire to give and care.
Before the game of chess was finished, my mother had already served the dishes she had cooked. The familiar aroma seemed to take me back to those years. They were old and I grew up, but my parents were destined to me forever. The years I have experienced will not change it for me.
That's enough.
Of course, my father couldn't beat me at chess. At this time, he used the excuse of having to eat and refused to play, so I just followed him. In my heart, I really wanted to finish a game of chess with him, because it would be possible.
It's something that will never happen again in this life, but I can only smile and let it go. I can't let them feel that I will leave.
This meal was so warm that I almost forgot how many years it has been. I haven’t had a meal with my family like this. They chatted casually, took food to each other naturally, and greeted each other in a normal way. Eat more.
This and that made me immersed in it and couldn't extricate myself.
Once upon a time, I envied thousands of lights because these happiness were too far away for me. Too far, but I didn’t know if the people behind thousands of lights knew how to cherish this kind of happiness and would not allow inexplicable benefits.
How can all kinds of trivial matters obscure this happiness?
But you know, under your window, there are people who are so envious and want to get this most ordinary warmth.
"Sister, there is the best snow lotus in this snow-capped mountain range. It is good for your health. I will find someone to help you go there tomorrow."
"Sister, come here, let me help you with your hair. Look at how messy it is."
"Dad, is your shoulder starting to hurt again? Come on, let mom go to the side and I'll squeeze it for you. She doesn't have the strength."
"Hey, Mom, is this old problem with your wrist coming back? Let me rub it for you. This is necessary to activate blood circulation. Did you forget the little trick I told you?"
"Dad, Mom, I asked someone to get this hot water. Let me wash your feet."
"Come on, don't be embarrassed. Dad, let me cut your toenails for you. Mom, give me the nail clippers."
