Fate is immortal

Hu Bugui faced the wind and looked at the moon, feeling a lot of feelings, silently took out two wine gourds from his bag, threw one to A Yuan and said, "Brother A Yuan, you and I are of the same kind, Lao Hu is not afraid of your jokes, let's drink wine tonight." Yan Huan, let's talk about my sister, Jianghu..."

A Yuan shivered, and said with a dry smile: "What does my sister have to do with Jianghu?..."

"Of course it has a lot to do with it!" Hu Bugui said seriously: "If I had a younger sister in my family back then, how could I go down the road of no return and end up in this state after suffering so much suffering?"

A Yuan coughed twice, and quickly brought the topic back to the right track, "Brother Hu, how did you get into the rivers and lakes back then? And how did you become a knight?"

Hu Bugui uncorked the wine and downed it in one gulp until he let out a long breath and hiccupped, then shook his head and said slowly, "Jianghu, hehe..."

"I was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. I am the eldest son. I have been closely guarded by my family since I was a child. I can't even leave the house. Every day is not studying and practicing martial arts, but playing the piano and painting. There are a lot of shit, Master Guang There are more than a dozen people. It’s a pity that I, Lao Hu, am born with a native, and I can’t learn those things that make fun of emotions. I’m only very interested in learning martial arts. Chess, calligraphy and painting can't wait to scold my mother, only when I practice martial arts can I be full of interest, radiant, and enter the realm very quickly, even the master who taught me martial arts said that I am a martial arts genius."

Hu Bugui raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, then said: "I just want to practice martial arts well every day, and go out into the rivers and lakes to become a swordsman hero. But when my father heard about my ambition, he immediately became furious and scolded me severely." , I also resigned my master and insisted on forcing me to study. I was young and energetic at that time, and after a big fight with my father, I simply ran away. This time, it will be ten years..."

A Yuan felt a sympathy in his heart, and imitated Hu Bugui, raised the wine gourd and took a sip. He didn't want the wine to be so strong that he almost spit it out in one gulp.Anyway, he swallowed it forcefully, his throat was on fire, A Yuan could only hold back his tears, pretending to be nonchalant and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later?" Hu Bugui smiled miserably, "I was a kid from a rich family who didn't leave the door. I ran out to roam the rivers and lakes, like a fool. I was a hundred times worse than you brother. At that time, in order to prevent my family from finding out, I stabbed my head Entering the vast cloud country. I didn’t expect to be dumbfounded after walking down for a few days. Not only did I get lost, but I didn’t have anything to eat. Although I brought some soft food, where can I buy food in the cloud country? I had to beg all the way. I almost starved to death, and finally arrived in Fengguo. As soon as I entered Fengguo, I found the biggest restaurant, held a big banquet, and ate for a day and a night. It was at that time that I met a "good brother" of mine ..."

When the word "good brother" was mentioned, Hu Bugui's tone was a bit weird, and there was a look of pain on his face. He raised his head and took another sip of wine: "I was young at the time, defenseless. I fell in love with that person at first sight, and after a few glasses of wine, we became brothers. Needless to say, the twists and turns in the middle, in short, he cheated me of all my money and sold me to a remote mine as a slave. "

A Yuan let out an "ah" and opened his mouth wide open. He really didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen in the world. This magnificent and weird man was betrayed so badly by someone he regarded as his brother. The pain in his heart was probably more painful than his own. times.

Hu Bugui gritted his teeth, and said with a smile: "I am also from a wealthy family, how can I endure the torture and humiliation in the mine? In a few days, I will lose my human form, and I will die there. I don't know whether it is God's care or Just kidding, the mine collapsed at that time. More than 100 brothers in the mine were buried alive. We were old, weak, sick and disabled, but because we didn’t go deep into the mine, we finally worked together to dig a road and escaped. God. I didn’t expect it, I don’t know which family’s taboo I violated, and I was rounded up and hunted down as soon as I came out. I was the only one who survived in the end..."

Hu Bugui didn't hide it at all, pointing at the wounds on his body casually, telling a series of bitter, tortuous and thrilling past events.

A Yuan was terrified when he heard it from the side. It was the first time he touched the rivers and lakes, and even many unknown dark sides in the world. The shock in his heart can be imagined.In contrast, the little wind and waves he encountered were as leisurely and freehand as the ripples on the lake on a sunny autumn day.

But every story that Hu Bugui told, A Yuan felt sympathy for him.Because he also spent several months in Yunguo in embarrassment, because he was also betrayed by someone he regarded as his big brother, and almost lost his life, because he also once saved people with good intentions but was killed, and he had nowhere to vent his grievances... This is Jiang Hu , the sympathy that every river and lake person should have.

"...Now, I have passed my thirties, and I am no longer the brat I was back then, but I am still a loner, homeless and jobless, wandering all over the place, only to be hanged by each other, with dust on my face, and I don't know what the future will be. What kind of knight is that? You're just kidding yourself, you're just a homeless waif."

Hu Bugui said these words slowly, like a summary of the past, licked his lips again, and said with a half smile: "What about Brother A Yuan? You should also know after hearing the stories of Lao Hu. What is the world like now, do you still want to 'travel the world'? Don't blame me for my shallow words, the world is not what you imagined."

"You are a pure and good boy, and you are not homeless. There are even two younger sisters waiting for you to take care of at home. You should go home early. What's wrong with living a life in peace? For Luo Guo in Xining, I It happened to be on the way, so I might as well take you back tomorrow."

If he had heard such a suggestion when he first left home, Ah Yuan would have dismissed it.But after going through many hardships, hearing Hu Bugui's words, and thinking of his sister at home, A Yuan's heart was moved.Recalling the peaceful and leisurely life in my hometown, and the kind smiles of the folks and family members, I can't help feeling a little nostalgic.

But do you really want to go back?Do you really want to withdraw from this turbulent, stumbling, dangerous and unknown road and return to your peaceful and peaceful hometown?

After a long time, Ah Yuan seemed to have made up his mind. He looked up at Hu Bugui solemnly, and asked, "Brother Hu, why don't you go back now?"

Hu Bugui laughed, with a tinge of bleakness in his laughter, "How can I go back now? It's been more than ten years since I came out, and I haven't heard from him at all. My family has long since rejected me as an unworthy descendant."

"Not necessarily. I haven't heard from you for more than ten years. Brother Hu's parents must miss you more and more. How can they deny you? Besides, if you haven't come home for so many years, maybe a younger sister has been added to the family, waiting eagerly for you to come home Woolen cloth."

Hu Bugui's expression changed, then he shook his head and said: "My mother has passed away long ago. My father, hehe, almost wants to kill me. In fact, I secretly went home many years ago to see it. My unworthy descendant has long been killed. Removal, but a new child has been added to the family, unfortunately he is a younger brother, cold and stubborn, not cute at all... I said boy, why did you persuade me instead?"

A Yuan smiled slightly, and then asked: "If the family accepts you, are you willing to give up your status as a knight-errant, go back and inherit the family business, and live a prosperous and stable life?"

Hu Bugui frowned, as if this question was difficult to answer, and he answered slowly after a while: "I have been away from home for more than ten years, and I have long been used to wandering, and now it is too late even if I want to go back to live a decent life. Besides, nothing can be achieved. Go back in a hurry and teach me how to be a man? It’s better to be a lonely ghost outside and have fun. But you are different, A Yuan, you are still a child, you have not been involved in the rivers and lakes deeply, now there is still time to turn around..."

A Yuan raised his eyebrows, as if he had seen through the other party, and said loudly: "Brother Hu, tell me, do you regret it?"

"Regret?——" Hu Bugui was provoked by A Yuan into a long laugh, and said with a sigh of relief: "A man has acted without shame, and does not violate his heart. What is there to regret? No matter how good the life is, it has nothing to do with me What I want is to be free and unrestrained. Let me go back and choose again, and it's the same!"

Infected by Hu Bugui's arrogance, A Yuan couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding, and said firmly: "I, A Yuan, are the same. No matter how beautiful my hometown is, I can't be trapped for the rest of my life. I'm destined to be like Brother Hu, wandering all my life, achieving nothing..."

The words "wandering all my life, accomplishing nothing" came out of Ah Yuan's mouth, not only did not have the slightest sense of desolation and sorrow, on the contrary, it revealed incomparable heroism and open-mindedness.

Hu Bugui was shocked, staring at A Yuan, suddenly licked his lips, and said in a deep voice, "Brother A Yuan, do you still have wine?"

A Yuan shook the wine gourd in his hand, said with a smile, "Yes, it's full..."

Three cups of promises, the five mountains are light.After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born.That night, the two reunited like friends who had known each other for many years. They opened their hearts, exchanged cups and drank the remnants of wine together, and laughed and talked about their sisters, Jianghu...
