It's past midnight, but the lights are still brightly lit in the Jinyi Guardhouse in Wuchang City.
Although the undercover agent "Ran Ling" has been killed, the subsequent floor cleaning work is still very troublesome. After all, there are several corpses to deal with, and the dead Jin Yiwei also have their families to comfort.
The trivial details of Zhuang Baihu’s handling of these aftermath issues will not be mentioned here. Let’s talk about those young heroes...
…………
"Dad, why are you here?" Lei Buji asked after sitting down in the room.
When Lao Lei heard this, he frowned slightly: "You brat, how do you teach me how to be polite?" As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai from the corner of his eyes. And winked at his son.
"Ah?" Lei Buji reacted for a moment and understood, "Oh! That's right, I almost forgot, dad, let me introduce you...these two are my eldest brothers "This is my brother Sun Yixie, and this is my brother Huang Donglai." He paused for half a second, then turned to Sun and Huang again, "Brothers, this is my father."
< p>His introduction was quite strict: when introducing a junior to an elder, you can directly pronounce the junior's name, but when introducing an elder to a junior, you usually cannot pronounce the elder's name directly, because the son /It is impolite for a disciple to call his parents/master by their first names in front of them."Xiao Ke Huang Donglai, I have met my seniors."
"I am Sun Yixie, I have met my seniors."
Sun and Huang also know the rules. It's time for them to say hello first.
Lei Buwei looked at them, nodded happily, cupped his fists and said, "Well, okay... no need to be polite."
This is a hidden hint in the book, this Lao Lei, in fact, after receiving the letter from his son, he immediately went out to find his son anxiously.
He really had to be anxious. As mentioned earlier, Lei Buwei only had such a son when he was fifty years old. His wife died in childbirth, so if there is anything unexpected about Lei Buwei , that Lao Lei really couldn’t stand it.
Besides, Lao Lei is very clear about his son's character - he is too inexperienced, naive and upright. Such a silly boy sent back a letter saying that he recognized two "chivalrous and courageous" elder brothers, and also said that he would follow them to travel in the world. Lao Lei's first reaction must be that his son was deceived.
So, on the day he received the letter, Lei Buwei packed his luggage and set off in the direction of Luoyang overnight.
While he was on the road, he was inquiring about the news. Along the way, some anecdotes about the double harmony kept coming to his ears... Unknowingly, Lao Lei had a crush on these two people. The boy who initially thought he was a "liar" gradually changed his mind, because he heard that these two people really didn't do anything bad.
After some time, through the places where the anecdotes were spread, Lei Buwei also speculated that Lei Buji was following Shuangxie towards Wuchang, so,He took advantage of the situation and turned towards Wuchang.
What a coincidence, he just arrived tonight.
If he had come later or a day and a half earlier, maybe there would be changes in the matter today.
But now, the dust has settled.
"Yes, yes...it is true that a hero comes from a young age." At this moment, Lei Buwei did not forget to praise Sun and Huang, "This way, the dog must have taken care of you." ."
"Senior, we are all brothers." Sun Yixiao responded with a smile, "That's right, that's right... Haha."
"Say. That's right." Huang Donglai also said, "Buji is just like our biological brother, there is nothing to take care of."
"Oh..." Lei Buwei said at this time. Sighing, "You don't have to be polite to me. I know my son better than my father. This son of mine...has lost his mother since he was a child. I'm old now, so it's not easy to raise him up. Over the years, I've been afraid One day I will let go, leaving him to be bullied in the world, so I just teach him martial arts, but I forget to let him learn more about how to behave in the world... If there is anything wrong with what he says or does, I hope you two will take care of me."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Lei Buji felt embarrassed by what he said, but he had a dark face and couldn't see anything.
"Senior, Buji is still very smart. He has made great progress these days. I think... you don't have to worry too much." Sun Yixie also helped Buji to make things right. .
"Yes, senior, Buji has a pure nature, can distinguish right from wrong, and hates evil as much as hatred. In today's world, it should be said that it is rare to be able to raise such a son." Huang Donglai also followed up with a paragraph at the right time. Flattery.
Those words are useful to Lei Buwei. Even if he knows they are flattery, he feels comfortable listening to them.
"Hahaha... Okay, okay, I can talk." Lei Buwei laughed and said, "Buji can get so close to talented people like you as soon as he enters the world. I am also very relieved. "
He said this, but he was secretly glad in his heart: Fortunately, these two people don't have any evil intentions. If they really did, my son would have been chewed to pieces by them. The rest; I think they are not much older than Buji, but their sophistication in speech and behavior is no less than me... It doesn't matter if Buji can be friends with them, it is better than being their enemy.
“Hiss—that’s right.” While chatting and laughing, Lei Buwei seemed to suddenly remember something, and added, “But I don’t know...after you two resolve this matter, what’s the next step? What are your plans?"
This is a good question...
At this moment, the "cooperation" between Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai and Jin Yiwei has come to an end. After that, they could go wherever they wanted; as for Lei Buji, he was just following the two elder brothers to hang out in the arena and accumulate some experience, and he also had no long-term plans.
Therefore, when Lei Buwei asked them what their future plans were,At that time, I really worried about them.
"Well... we haven't really considered it yet." Sun Yixie replied casually.
"Brother Sun, it suddenly occurred to me that I seem to have to go back to Shu as soon as possible." After a breath, Huang Donglai thought of something, "Didn't that senior Mianyinzi ask me to go up there on the winter solstice?" Shushan should look for their mountain gate. I thought that now that the Double Ninth Festival has passed, it is still a long way from Wuchang to Sichuan. There is still about a month left. I can just go back to my hometown in Fushun and say hello to my family, and then Just keep going west to Wawu Mountain to check out the situation."
"Oh, that's it." Sun Yixie thought for a moment, "Then I'll go back to Hangzhou."
"Eh? Aren't you going with me?" Huang Donglai asked doubtfully.
"Nonsense, why should I go? Didn't they say that you are the only one with the talent to practice Taoism, so it would be useless for me to go with you." Sun Yixie said, "If you fail to become a disciple, The two of us will run together for nothing. If you succeed in becoming a disciple and go up the mountain, then I will say congratulations and then go back alone?"
"Well..." Huang Donglai said, "That seems to be the case. Oh, haha." He paused, "How about we say goodbye in Wuchang for now?"
"Yes." Sun Yixi said, "I just don't know if we will meet again next time." It’s the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Alas..." At this point, he felt a little sad, "The main reason is that communication is so underdeveloped these days. It's not like..." At this point, he realized something and stopped quickly, almost saying " The words "original world" leaked out.
Huang Donglai also guessed what he was going to say, so he took over the conversation and said: "It's okay, Brother Sun, I will write to you when I have time. Besides... maybe I can finish my studies after I go up the mountain. "Spell, can I fly directly to you?"
"What are you dreaming about? That senior Mianyinzi is said to be almost two hundred years old and is taking a boat. You are twenty years old." "You want to fly before you can fly? I'm afraid it will be turned into ashes in a box by the time you master it," Sun Yixie complained.
Things they said to each other, Lei Buwei didn't understand, because the experience of their group in "Lanruo Temple" was not spread outside.
At this time, Lei Buji looked at Sun and Huang again, and asked, "Brothers, what about me?"
When the two heard this, they both frowned. Shu turned his head and glanced at him: "Of course I'm going home with your father."
How clear their minds were. Even if Lei Buwei didn't mention it at all, they understood that today Lei Buwei They definitely want to take their son away; besides... they are both preparing to go back to their respective homes now, and they cannot continue to travel around the world with Buji for the time being.
"Huh?" Lei Buji was a little unhappy when he heard this, "I just walked around the world for such a short time, why did I go back again?"
After hearing this, Lao Lei sighed secretly in his heart: Oh, sure enough, I can’t keep the child when he grows up. After seeing this colorful world, how can he still be willing to go back to the mountains to live in seclusion in the mountains with an old man like me?
"That's it..." Then, Lei Buwei thought for a while and said to his son, "Buji, otherwise..." He paused, "Look, your two eldest brothers also have things to go home now. Go, I can’t take you to wander around outside, otherwise... Dad will take you to wander around the world?"
"Well..." After hearing this, Lei Buji's expression was a bit complicated. , "Okay, okay, just..." He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father, your martial arts are too high. I'm afraid that if I follow you, I won't encounter anything that I can intervene in."
This is true. Even if Lei Buwei does not disclose his identity to the public, he can still move around in the world with his experience and martial arts. Lei Buji can only act as an OB (Observer) if he follows him.
"Hi..." Lei Buwei said, "How about... dad sends you to the 'Baquan Sect' to learn martial arts as a disciple? As long as they accept you, dad will go back by himself; from now on Once you have achieved success in your studies, go out into the world as a disciple of the Ba Fist Sect and go out into the world with your fellow apprentices. When you are free, remember to write a letter to your family to say you are safe, and your father will feel at ease."
.........
At noon the next day, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei's father and son left the Jinyi Guard's guardhouse.
The four of them then went to a restaurant in the city to have a few drinks before going their separate ways.
This is the case on Jianghu Road.
There are gatherings and there are separations.
You never know whether this separation will be the last.
The love between brothers is all contained in that cup of wine of practice. After drinking it, you just keep it and remember it, and then pour it out together with the bitter water on the day we meet again. ...The friendship between men is nothing more than this.
