v7 Chapter 29： Stay

Li Yan's eyes completely saw what happened in the Zhang family on this day, although it could not give Zhang Zhongli and Zhang Changan any response. But the scenes themselves did not touch him.

Apart from that, Li Zhi has a lot of grasp of the situation in Hexi and the mentality of the Han people.

After contemplation, Li Zhi had gained a lot, faintly felt what he had grasped, but he didn't understand for a while, so he decided to continue observation.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Dong and Zhang Changan walked out of the Zhang family's mansion early, intending to find his good friend Chu Yan.

Every word that Zhang Zhongli said to him last night was deeply in his heart.

In the minds of young people, his grandfather is a true hero, with a deep sense of righteousness in his homeland. In the past, in order to return Hexi to Datang, he fought bloodlessly against the invading Tubo who invaded here. Even if he was seriously injured and disabled, he still did not change his mind. .

Although his grandfather was not as powerful as Huo Quji, he was a model to look up to and admire. Unlike his father, he was weak and charming like a dog in front of the Tibetan man.

Walking on the street where people came and went, Zhang Changan clenched his fists silently.

He respects and respects his father, which is the basic ethical filial piety, but his father's behavior really humiliates him.

He refused to insult his father in his heart, but had to admit in front of the fact that his father had lost the face of the Han people, humiliated those glorious historical books and eternal ancestors, and desecrated the glory they had used to fight for the Han people with their lives and ideals. !!

Zhang Changan can't forget how, when he entered the grandfather's yard last night, the other side looked like he was sitting alone on the stone stairs with his back facing the dim yellow lights.

Lonely and helpless, stubborn and unwilling.

My grandfather is old, and his ambition needs to be inherited. Since his father is not filial and incompetent, it is up to him to be his grandson.

It is difficult for young people to hide words in their hearts. When emotions are high, they always want to find someone to share with them. Zhang Changan intends to tell Chu Yan.

Zhang Changan came to a street corner of Funingfang, sat down in front of a humble soup cake stand, endured the boiling blood in his heart, lifted Erlang's legs, and patted the table loudly: "Hey brother, come to me soon Bowl of soup cake, I have something to tell you after eating! "

Behind the hot and steaming soup cake stand, stood a slender and thin teenager. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, Jianmei Xingmu Qiyu is extraordinary, that is, his nose is too big, which destroys the beauty of the entire face.

There were not many diners on the two tables in front of the soup cake stand. When he was idle, he stood behind the water vapor in a daze. Although in a daze, his body stood upright, like a spear, ready to pierce at any time.

This is Zhang Chang's best friend, Chu Yan.

When Zhang Changan was born, the Zhang family had already gone through the most difficult years, so he was a standard big family member. Chu Yi is different. He was born to a common people's house. This may not be accurate. Zhang Chang'an did not know who Chu Yi's parents were. They have been in each other for three or four years and have never seen him.

Zhang Changan only knew that Chu Yan was raised by his master. It was an old man who was drunk like wine. He was stubborn all day long. He didn't seem to have cleaned his clothes. He didn't work at all. He knew Chu Zhe from Zhang Changan.

At this time, the old man must be awake.

Zhang Changan sympathized with the tragic experience of his best friend.

He was able to become friends with Chu Yan, because of an accident four years ago.

At that time, Zhang Changan, who was ten years old, was already in the Wuzong realm. If he worked harder, he would be able to practice qi. Among the four families, Zhang, Liu, Zhou and Qian, he was the most outstanding little genius. .

One day strolling to Funingfang, smelling the aroma of the soup cake stand, he sat down and drank to eat the soup cake. He was naughty and misbehaved naturally, and he stepped on the stool. After eating the soup cake, when I paid the money, I dropped the copper coins directly on the stall and basically fell into the soup pot.

Chu Yan asked him to remove the copper coins from the soup pot.

Zhang Changan naturally quit.

So they had a fight.

With only two moves, Chu Yan let Zhang Changan get down and couldn't move.

For the first time, Zhang Chang'an met his peers who were better than himself, and naturally refused to accept it, but he was a self-respecting young man. Instead of calling his servants to help, he let Chu Yi wait. He went back to practice hard for a month, and then aggressively returned to revenge.

Then he was stung again.

In this way, the number of fights increased, and the two became familiar. Zhang Chang'an also admired Chu's skill. He was clearly no higher than himself, but he was able to move three or two times, making himself unable to move.

Over time, the two became good friends.

Chu Yan quickly prepared the soup cake, and as a rule, it was 30% more. After placing it in front of Zhang Changan, he also sat down at the table and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Zhang Chang'an ate hot soup cakes and snorted, "Big ... big thing!"

Chu Yan didn't ask much, sitting there watching the pedestrians in front of him, waiting for Zhang Changan to take the initiative to elaborate.

Zhang Changan thinks that Chu Yi is good enough, and he is envious and courageous. Once he was bullied by the Tubo barbarians, knowing that he was out of reach, Chu Xun dared to come forward to help, but both of them were swollen and swollen, only to watch the Tubo laugh and grow away.

But it's too little, and it's pitiful, and basically doesn't speak actively, and it seems like never to talk nonsense, a little boring.

Zhang Chang'an finished eating the soup cake, put chopsticks on the table, stared at Chu Xi, and lowered his voice: "Brother, King An has arrived in Hexi and has captured the southern seven states. Do you know this?"

Chu Yan turned his head to Zhang Changan, and Mu Na replied, "I know."

"So do you have any ideas? I plan to convene some brothers to meet Master Wang when necessary!" Zhang Changan said excitedly.

Chu Kun was silent for a moment. "The other day, Big Brother Sun and Big Brother Xu, they also united some people to prepare to emulate the old thing of responding to Zhang Yichao when King An arrived. They found me and I agreed."

Zhang Changan's eyes widened and his excited face flushed. "Brother Sun Brother Xu? Great! With them taking the lead, we can definitely unite many people! How many people did they call for?"

The so-called Big Brother Sun and Big Brother Xu, although they are just ordinary people, are all brave and martial arts. They also like to make friends, which is equivalent to gimmicks. They have a good appeal among young people.

Chu Yan said: "As of last night, there were nearly a hundred people joining them, all children of the Han family on the street."

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Chang'an applauded, his eyes lit up, "How about we meet them now? Discuss this matter!"

Chu Yan's eyes looked strange to Zhang Chang'an. "They are all at the intersection of the main street in the city now ... there are only human heads."

Zhang Chang'an didn't expect that this would happen. He was suddenly there, his face flushed, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Chu Yan stood up, "It was Tomu who killed by mistake. If I hadn't run fast, I would be dead."

Speaking of this, he paused, chuckled, and the expression of the stereotype was unclear. "It's all guys who have no food leftovers. They are full and haven't eaten this meal. Of course, when they come to such an opportunity, they want to get rich. Maybe there is also the heart of serving the country, but it is not so much. But unfortunately, this time Tochigi mishandled too fast, they can only move their heads. "

Seeing Chu Yan going away, Zhang Changan stood up quickly, "Hey brother, this is only a temporary setback! Are you afraid? Join me, let's go find someone!"

Chu Yan stopped, looked back at Zhang Chang'an, and said earnestly, "You can't find anyone. Now no one dares to mention it again. Except me, others, I'm afraid to even listen to you No courage. "

Zhang Changan didn't believe it. In his consciousness, Han Jiaerlang is not afraid of death. They should all remember the glory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of this dynasty. How can they be scared if they die? When Ban Gu came out of the Western Regions, there were only dozens of people around him, and he was not afraid. Now there are more than ten million Han people in Jincheng County, why are they afraid?

Zhang Chang'an cried out: "I don't believe it! My brother, how can you ... how can you do this? You have always been a courageous person, why are you so scared now? Let's go find someone and we will be able to do it. Go sick like Huo, like Ban Gu! "

Chu Yan shook his head: "No one will."

Seeing Zhang Changan's blushing face still want to say something, Zhang Changan said: "This is the home of ordinary people. If you live here, you have to work hard to make ends meet, how can there be so many loyalty and courage? Important. The situation is favorable. Some people are okay to take the lead. Maybe they can stimulate blood and fight for future generations. Now the situation is not good and the leaders are killed. Who dares to move?

"The matter of Huo's illness and Ban Gu is too far away for them. It is a story, not a reality. It can not be used to fill the hunger, or to protect against the cold. Whoever wants to eat a bite, Xiaodong, go back."

After speaking these words, Chu Yan returned to the stall and continued to stand straight, watching the courtyard across the street no longer speaking.

He has said enough today. He rarely said so much on weekdays.

The sad and angry Zhang Changan kicked over the stool and left, before dying, he shouted that he wanted to break off with Chu Yu.

Chu Yan pretended not to see the tears in Zhang Changan's eyes, and waited until the other party went away before he put the stool back on.

Behind the steaming white steam, Chu Yan remained motionless and said nothing. Until the next guest comes.

"Brother, old rules, put a little more vinegar and another bowl of soup!" A bearded middle-aged man sat at the table and let out his voice to say hello.

Chu Yan nodded, but didn't speak, but his hands were very frivolous.

This middle-aged man is an old diner and an acquaintance of Chu Yu, and lives next door. Because he has a strong body, he is called an iron plate by the neighborhood and is a footman.

In the name of iron plate, Chu Yan disdains, because although this person looks tall and eats a lot, he needs to drink an extra bowl of soup to eat a bowl of soup and cakes. In fact, he has a mild temperament and is almost cowardly, never arguing with people. Everything Take a step back.

When Brother Sun and Brother Xu gathered their manpower, they also found the iron plate, but he hurriedly waved and refused.

Diners came one after another, and if they knew each other, they would say hello to Chu Yi.

"My brother, my daughter is always thinking about your soup cake. I think she is after you, how do you want to be close to my daughter?" A good-looking girl with a waist like a bucket Thick woman, shaking her handkerchief across the soda, winked at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan just smiled and didn't answer. Because of Chang Chang'an, his smile is not as good as usual.

In front of this woman, Chu Yi only knew her surname Wei, and it is said that her husband's family died prematurely. Now she is carrying a daughter alone, and everyone calls him the eldest daughter Wei.

At the age of fifteen or six, she can find family affairs, but the daughter of the eldest daughter Wei ’s family is only five or six years old ... this savvy woman will take her daughter every time she comes to eat a bowl of soup and cakes To talk about things, the purpose is just to give a penny less.

Sometimes, when she was happy to see Chu Yan, she was still on credit, and then she never paid that amount again.

The whole Funing Fang, Chu Yan is very familiar.

Mother-in-law Zheng, who sells vegetables on the street corner, is always good enough and often quarrels with people, but as long as she comes to eat soup and cakes, Chu Kun will only charge half the money.

Blind-haired Chen Blind, at this time will beg at the Fangmen, looking at the old, actually only twenty years old. Not only was he blind, but his leg was also slapped. He heard that he was snored by the Tibetans.

Many people like this.

Chu Yan has a good opinion of some people, but he is scornful of some people.

For example, Chen Blind, received a lot of care from Big Brother Sun on weekdays. This morning I knew that Big Brother Sun was dead. He also said that he was a bad character and deserved it.

At about four o'clock in the morning, Chu Yan collected the stall and pushed the wooden cart home.

In the shabby yard, there were clothes still drying on the bamboo poles. As soon as Chu Yan pushed open the door, he closed the door with his backhand, afraid that the chickens would fly away.

"You came back two minutes earlier than yesterday. Why? Business is bad today?"

The old man was talking, sitting in the courtyard to bask in the sun, twisting the wine gourd in his hand, and taking a mouthful from time to time. When he spoke, he didn't squint, he didn't look at Chu Chu at all.

Chu Chu, who was quiet in the woods outside, heard the ridicule of the old people, and suddenly a wooden car that overturned the door carefully pushed out, the carbon fire in the stove came out, the flour seasoning on the chopping board was spilled to the ground, pots and pans It was broken a lot.

The five old mother gold leisurely foraging in the yard, flapping her wings in astonishment, screaming, the feathers flew a little.

The young man glared at the old man on the rattan chair, blushing like a carbon fire, jumping with blue tendons on his forehead, his teeth biting creaking, but he didn't say a word, like a beast about to run away.

The old Taoist still did n’t turn his head to look at Chu Yun, but sneered from his nostril, "What's the matter, boy, I feel that your elder brother died unjustly. This is unbearable? Do you want to go to Tubo desperately? Go Ah, I won't stop you. "

Chu shook his fist and shoulders, as if Zhang Changan looked disappointed when he looked at him, and shouted with scarlet eyes: "Why ?! Why didn't you do it last night? You obviously can save them! You have the ability to save them Yes! Tochigi wrong is not your opponent, why don't you take the shot ?! The ones you taught me, why can't you do it yourself? "

The old man finally turned his head.

But he just turned his head and didn't sit up straight.

He looked at Chu Ye's bloodshot eyes, and asked lightly, "I can save them, and I can kill Tochigi wrong. Then? You and me will be chopped into meat sauce by the Tubo. You don't think Only with you and my apprentices, with ordinary people who have only bravery, and with your elder grandson Xu elder brother, can you change the banner of Lanzhou City King? "

Chu Yan squeezed a few words out of his teeth: "There is Xiaodong! There is Xiaodong's grandfather! There are those ..."

"What else can be sent to death?" The old man interrupted Chu Yue coldly.

Chu Yan was speechless.

The old man snorted coldly, "If you don't know, just these people, just to give the Tubo their heads, these years can be regarded as my apprentice."

Chu Yan sat on the ground with a butt.

The old man continued: "If you want to welcome Wang Shi, if you want to conquer Hexi for the imperial court, it is useless to be close to the courage of blood. If you want to do something big, you must plan. Way. Such stupid people, do you expect them to rely on them to recover Hexi? They will only do bad things. This may be ruthless, or it may be unfair to them, but it is the case! "

Chu Yan embraced his head.

The yard was quiet.

Only the hen called out from time to time.

For a long time Chu Chu suddenly whispered, "Master, you have taught me so many years, I am grateful."

The veteran stopped drinking, "What are you doing?"

Chu Yan stood up and took care of his robe. "I'm leaving."

The old man widened his eyes: "You have to go again? Don't you know that our disciples in Bailu Cave are destined to do great things ?! The world does not know Bailu Cave, there is no teacher in the world! Did you forget? How many times have I told you, we ... "

"Our fifth disciple in Bailu Cave is called" Hidden Son "in the middle of the mountain gate. From the moment of its birth, it has existed in the dangerous environment surrounded by the enemy. In one blow, the most glorious achievements are achieved, leaving the world with the loudest name! "

Chu Yi accepted the words of the old Taoist, but the disappointment in his eyes could not be covered.

The old Taoist sat upright for a moment, staring at Chu Yan: "Since you all know, why do you want to leave? A good man can do nothing, just like Huo Quyi ... Although we can't lead a thousand miles, but What we do is actually no different from Huo Qubing's illness, the same shocking world, the same earth-shattering ... "

Talking, the old man's voice dropped, just looking at Chu Xi's disdainful expression, he felt very guilty.

The old man coughed twice and said in full color: "Don't you know that our fifth disciple in Bailudong inherits our life mission ..."

"Our mission in life is for the majesty of our country! The majesty of our country is tied to our fifth disciple in Bailudong. Without us, when our country is in distress, we will not get the key support and will only decline. Our fifth disciple in Bailudong should be devoted to his country and have no regrets in his life. This is our glory! "

Chu Yan recounted this passage as if he had endorsed it.

The gourd in the hands of the old man fell to the ground.

He said, "Since you all know, why go?"

The disappointment in Chu Yan's eyes has become despair: "Master, because of your words, since I was sensible, I have supported you for six years by selling soup cakes, and I have endured you for six years! There are countless disappointments in the middle. If you want to leave, but you are all deceived, it will seduce the blood of temptation and stay willingly! "

Speaking of this, Chu Yan took a deep breath, "But today! I know, these words of yours are just nonsense, useless! You are a tortoise, a coward! What a white deer hole, what Fifth disciple, it ’s just that you ’re delicious and lazy, let me support you! ”

The old man was stunned.

Chu Yan closed his eyes and eased his mind, and said, "I'm sixteen years old and I won't be fooled by you anymore. Today I must leave! I will fight with Tubo, to the end with Xiaodong!" Even if it is dead, it is better than raising your drunk here! "

After that, Chu Yan stared at the old man.

The old man was speechless.

After a few words of silence, he looked lonely, and his energy suddenly disappeared.

When it came, the old man waved his hand weakly and sighed: "Since you decide to go, go now and do what you want to do. Being a teacher ... being a teacher doesn't stop you. There is nothing to be a teacher Used, it is an old waste, can not drag you down. You ... you go, go! "

Chu Yan looked at the old man unbelievably, and could hardly believe that the words were spoken from the other side.

This immortal is willing to let go?

When he tried to leave before, the other party always tried to stop him.

"So I ... really gone?" Chu Yan was not sure. At the moment he was freed, he was so embarrassed that he felt extraordinarily awkward, as if he had become a ruthless, unrighteous, outrageous thief.

"Let ’s go, let ’s go, Master is old, and you wo n’t listen to what you say. Just do what you want. Even if Master is drunk and dead at home, do n’t come back to collect the corpse, because Master is a bad character anyway. Asshole, no one can bury it! "

The old Taoist stood up with great pain, and sighed in the sky, regardless of the wine gourd of life, and walked into the room with his hands on his backs.

Chu Yan stayed there stupidly.

He was stupid for a long time.

Then ... Then he turned, bent over, bowed his head, silently lifted the soup pan, packed the pots and pans, and pushed into the chamber. Then he started cleaning the yard. Finally, he went into the kitchen to cook for Master.

It's like countless times before you want to leave, but you have to stay in the end.
