The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 3 The Back
After settling in Yichan, Yang Erbin stayed in Qingcheng Mountain for a few days, seeing that Taoist Qingshi was busy with his affairs, he didn't want to bother him any more.

The night before he left, Yang Erbin called Yichan to his room and made dumplings for his daughter himself.As soon as the hot leek stuffed dumplings are put on the pot, the atmosphere of reunion permeates the whole room.Yang Erbin took the wine jar to the table.This is the local wine "Dicui" brewed from Qingcheng mountain spring.Yang Erbin removed the old mud that sealed the altar, and after uncovering the altar cover, the wine was clear and fragrant.Yang Erbin couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"Chan'er, sit down and have a drink with dad." Upon hearing this, Yichan quickly poured the wine for his father.Yang Erbin raised his glass and lightly touched his daughter's wine cup, saying: "Tomorrow morning, Daddy will be back."After finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, and without waiting for another drink, he took the flagon and poured another glass.

Under the radiance of the oil lamp, Yang Erbin looked at his daughter lovingly, and said in a gentle voice, "I have been walking around Qingcheng Mountain for the past two days, and Zhengyi is indeed a famous sect, the Taoist temple is magnificent, the incense is prosperous, the staff is prosperous, and the precepts are standardized. I am relieved when I see it Yes. In the past few years, my father and I have been traveling here and there without a fixed place, and you have suffered a lot with your father. This time you have settled down, and your father will feel at ease."

"Father, I don't want to leave you, I can't bear you." Yichan looked at her father, wringing her hands, begging in a low voice.

"Silly boy, don't blame dad for being cruel. If dad is a good guy, he wouldn't be willing to leave you here alone. But you have seen in the past two years that dad is no longer the "snow wolf" roaring in the mountains and forests back then. It's gone, dad's body is broken, he's useless, alas..." Yang Erbin looked at the palms he was famous for, shook his head helplessly, and took a sip of his wine.

"Father, no matter how difficult it is to follow you, I am willing." Yichan poured wine for her father and drank it herself.

"Silly girl, what's the good of being with dad? You can't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, and dad beats you even when he's drunk. After you wake up, you never blame dad, but dad feels even worse in his heart." Shaking, a little wine is spilled.Yang Yichan was also tearful.

Yang Erbin raised his glass and continued, "If your mother was still here, our family would not have broken up, and my father would not let you suffer like this. Sigh..." After finishing speaking, he poured the wine down his throat.

"Father, don't miss your mother anymore. Let the past go. I won't be around in the future, and no one will take care of you when you get old. You should drink less!" Yang Yichan snatched Yang Erbin's cup, refusing Let Daddy drink again.

"Good girl, don't imitate your mother. Although your father is a fool, he really loves your mother, but it's a pity that true love is no match for ruthlessness... In the future, when you find a husband, don't be greedy for vanity, choose a good man who truly loves you Only when you live a happy life will you be truly happy... Dad will be relieved if you live well... Yang Erbin burst into tears, lying on the table drunk, talking back and forth.

Yang Yichan took the clothes and put them on her father, thinking about her miserable life experience, she couldn't help crying...
Early the next morning, the sun had just risen, and the morning haze had just dissipated.Yang Erbin carried his bag on his back and walked on the bluestone road down the mountain, and the cicada reluctantly followed behind him, passing one mountain pass after another.

Finally, Yang Erbin rubbed his bloodshot eyes, gritted his teeth, and said to his daughter, "Good girl, send it here." He pointed to the small package in his daughter's hand, and said, "Father left you some taels of silver." , not much, save some money. Although Daoist Qingshi said that once you enter Qingcheng, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, but it is more convenient for girls to have some money in their hands. These jewelry belong to your mother. I'm willing to sell it, and I'll keep it for you as a dowry. I miss your mother, so I'll take it out and have a look."

"When you're out alone, you have to love yourself. Don't get sick when it's cold or hot."

"You have to listen to what Master says. Be a teacher for a day and be a father for life. Don't take the words of Master's abuse to heart. Don't be self-willed, be well-behaved, and have a good eye for everything."

"As the old saying goes, rely on your parents at home and friends when you go out. There are many brothers and sisters in the same school, make more good friends, and take care of each other. You must be generous in dealing with others, patient in dealing with things, and diligent in doing things. Don't make people laugh at me. I don't know the rules. Don't cause trouble, and don't be afraid of trouble."

"Zhengyi is a well-known school, powerful in the world. Follow the master and the brothers and sisters to learn the arts, and you will surpass your parents in the future."

"There are many young talents in Qingcheng, so be careful, and you have the opportunity to choose a good husband for yourself. Choose a good character, and the one who truly loves you is better than anything else. Only those who truly love you will cherish you, love you, and give you love." happiness."

.......
Yang Erbin babbled, saying what came to mind, as if he wanted to finish his life's entrustment.In the end, he hugged his daughter to his chest, hugged her tightly, and then let go after a while.He looked at his daughter lovingly, patted her head habitually, and said: "Girl, take care of yourself, Dad will come back to see you."

After all, he stomped his feet and walked down the mountain with strides without looking back.

"Father~~~~~"

Her daughter's desolate cries came from behind her, even though Yang Erbin was bold and unyielding, he couldn't help but burst into tears.He didn't dare to look back, because he was afraid that if he turned around, he would never have the heart to leave his daughter behind.

Although she knew separation was inevitable before going up the mountain, Yang Yichan was still extremely scared when she really left her father, feeling like she was floating powerlessly on the stormy sea alone, letting the huge waves roll her up and leave her behind.

Looking at her father's back, she cried loudly, tears blurring her vision.Her heart was twisted like a knife, her breathing was difficult, and her lower abdomen was in pain. The pain made her squat down involuntarily.She just looked at her father's back, already a little bent, on the bluestone road, gradually drifting away, step by step away from her, and she didn't know when she would meet again.

At this moment, she once again tasted the pain of life and death, the heart-wrenching pain, her eyes darkened, and she collapsed on the bluestone road...
