Chapter 1 Lantern Festival Leaving Home
The most remote mountainous area to the west of Yucheng, where the mountains are continuous, the scenery is pleasant, and the green trees are lush, it is a rare place where the natural ecological environment is perfectly preserved.Surrounded by mountains, the mountain roads are rugged, and the roads stretch like a dragon. In the middle of the mountains, there are hundreds of small bungalows. Compared with the mansions and the feasting streets, they are simply the most primitive residences.

"Yun'er, after today's Lantern Festival, go out to the outside world, the life here is not suitable for you." A hoarse and reluctant voice came from a small room in the most remote east. The voice came slowly.This is an old man who seems to be in his fifties, but his actual age is only 42 years old. Perhaps it is because of the passage of time that he is no longer the heroic figure of the past.

"Father, Yun'er is not leaving, Yun'er wants to stay here with you," said a young man resolutely.Through the wooden lattice window, I can see the young man's handsome face, perfect facial features, and slender figure. If he goes to the outside world, he will be much more handsome than those so-called celebrities and handsome boys.His pair of clear and flawless eyes make people look very comfortable, there is no deep scheming, only a simple and sincere light; his smooth and delicate cheeks are smoother and brighter than that of a newborn baby, except that there is a gap on the left near the hair feet. A three-centimeter-long slender scar, the scar didn't stutter, but split open abruptly in the middle of the cheek, just looking at the scar looked a little hideous and frightening, making his perfect face a bit flawed, but But it made his handsome face reveal a strong bloody fortitude, which is a completely different feeling. No one would think the scars are terrible, but people can't help but feel a deep sense of pity for him.

"Oh, Yun'er, as a father, I know you are filial, but now that you have grown up, you have to face the ups and downs outside on your own. How can a female who grew up under her wings become a real eagle without being tempered? Your ambition should not be like this," the old man said with a deep sigh.

"But Yun'er is reluctant to part with father, why don't you go out with me, father, and let me take good care of your old man," said the young man still reluctantly to part with his father.

"Father can go out with you, but not now, five years, I will allow you to come back to me after five years, and then I will go out with you as father" said the old man with his hands behind his back looking at the trees outside the window and said in a daze.

"But..." The young man wanted to say more, but was cut off by the old man, "You don't have to say it, don't you listen to what your father says anymore?" The old man said in a majestic tone.

Seeing his father like this, the young man stopped talking, but a layer of mist slowly clouded his eyes. It has been 16 years. From birth to now, he and his father have lived together in the valley. The simple, honest and loving scenes of the nearby neighbors emerged one by one. He had placed high hopes on him since he was a child. He was taught to read and write from the age of five, to practice martial arts at the age of six, and to learn chess and painting skills at the age of seven. These four things have been uninterrupted for more than ten years. It is unspeakable to know that my father is actually hiding deep inside.

Every time he sees the self-brewed spirits that his father took from the old man Chen at the head of the village, he feels an indescribable sadness in his heart. Seeing his father pouring the spirits one mouthful at a time, he can't bear to go up and ask, "Father, what are you doing?" Why do you always drink like this?" He knew that his father was a man of few words, he would have said it long ago, if he didn't say it, no matter how hard you asked him, he wouldn't say a word.His father did not have any contact with the villagers. Every time he just got wine from old man Chen and went back to the house. He also learned from the neighbors that his father and son were not from the village at all, but just appeared suddenly 16 years ago. .

How could he, who was smart since he was a child, not be able to guess his father's difficulties, but he kept pretending not to know, he knew that one day his father would explain everything to him.The Lantern Festival means that the Spring Festival is coming to an end, and the work of the year is about to begin.On this day when his father called him, he thought that his father would tell him that he would explain to him the mental illness that his father had suppressed for many years, but who knows, his father wanted him to leave his hometown, which disappointed him greatly and made him feel embarrassed. Ming's melancholy and reluctance.

"Father, you have never let Yun'er drink a sip of wine for many years. Tomorrow Yun'er will no longer serve you. Let us father and son not get drunk tonight." After returning from the altar of spirits, he said boldly to his father who was still standing at the window.He wants to get drunk with his father tonight, no matter what road is waiting for him tomorrow, he will always remember his father Yi Tianming, and after five years, he will definitely come back and get drunk with his father again.

"Okay, it's rare that Yun'er has the heart. As a father, I will allow you to have a drink tonight." Yi Tianming turned his head, his eyes also showed reluctance, walked over with a limp, and quickly grabbed With a jug of wine, he slapped the cover fiercely with one hand. After a "pop", the aroma of the wine quickly permeated the whole room. "Old man Chen's wine is good wine, haha" Yi Tianming laughed loudly, and the tap that was short of wine poured it into his mouth suddenly.After taking a big gulp, Yi Tianming drank, "It's strong enough, it's refreshing enough, it's been the same for 16 years. Yun'er went on, a man should learn to drink. In the past, in order to let you study hard, he never let you get half a drop of it. Now that you are successful in your studies, you can drink your fill with confidence."

It was rare for Yi Yun to see his father laughing so heartily, and he became inexplicably excited. The sorrow of parting was swept away. He took the wine thrown by his father and poured it into his mouth just like his father. "Ahem..." Yi Yun had never drank alcohol before, so he didn't know what it tasted like. He only knew that the smell of wine was very fragrant, so he thought that wine was also fragrant, but the strong smell made him cough, and he almost swallowed what he just drank. The wine was spat out, but he decided to let his father get drunk and carry it down.

"Haha, you boy, you know that the wine is not as fragrant as you imagined, but you can appreciate the essence of the wine after drinking it a few times, come and drink again." Yi Tianming laughed, grabbed another jug ​​of wine and Yi Yun touched each other and drank again.

Yi Yun had a tenacious personality since he was a child, and never gave in easily. Just like how his father used to ask him to train harshly, he never said the word "bitter", so he adjusted his breath, and also took the wine in his hand to drink again. down.

"Okay, come again..."

"Happy... Come again... After you go out, you won't be able to drink wine like old man Chen's own brewing..."

……

"Yun'er, I hope you can come back safely in five years. Only after experiencing the cruelty of society will you know that people in the world are not as simple and cute as you imagined. People's scheming is often more terrifying than wild animals. Mutual killing is a fact that can never be changed. In life in the valley, your thoughts become pure and free of distractions, but it also makes you lack the arrogance to stand in the world. In the future, your road will be hard and difficult. Being a father is not I don’t want to tell you the difficulties in my heart, but now you are not strong enough to deal with everything. Five years is enough for you to adapt to everything. It’s been 16 years, and it’s time to go for a walk.” Yi Tianming patted the drunk and fell to the ground Yi Yun's head said calmly.
