Chapter 63 [Late at night suddenly dreaming about teenagers]
Sometimes, Fan Zhou would even think that if some enemy tracked down his whereabouts and came to stab him in the dark, he would never dodge and resist—it would be a kind of happiness to be able to die on his own bed when he was old.
It's a pity that no one will die for himself. Maybe after the enemies stab him, the kind neighbors will simply bury him somewhere outside the town.
From then on, there will be no trace of a person like myself in the Jianghu and this world.
This life is considered to be really clean!
He also had regrets. When he was young, if he had chosen one of the few heroines who matched his personality to go away together and leave this hustle and bustle of the rivers and lakes, maybe his life would be completely different later on.
But whenever he thinks of this, Fan Zhou always smiles and shakes his head.
After careful consideration, if he was young again, he would probably still make the same choice.
Even if time can be turned back and life can be restarted, the development will not go in the direction you want, and it is more likely that everything will start again, but the result will be even worse.
The rivers and lakes...
Involuntary, how can it be so easy to leave.
Now that he is old and returning to his hometown, Fan Zhou will live every day as if it is his last, so he has never been mean to himself. Although I don't like luxury in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I also pursue refinement and comfort, so that I can live more contentedly in my old age.
Lying on a comfortable soft bed, in a trance, he began to dream.
Fan Zhou felt like before falling asleep, sitting in front of a table, stewed tofu with braised pork and vegetables, and slowly ate corn and rice in a bowl.
It's just that I suddenly became much younger, and my body is light and healthy. It seems that I have returned to my youth, and even my appetite has become better.
And there is a person sitting across the table.
Looking at the extremely familiar face of the person opposite, Fan Zhou was greatly shocked. He felt himself startled and said:
"Brother Fang?"
The face on the opposite side will never be erased in my heart.
Brother Fang's name is Fang Taihe, he entered the rivers and lakes earlier than himself, and he has been with him for many years after getting acquainted, sharing joys and sorrows, and sheltering himself from wind and rain.
When they left, Fan Zhou had grown from a rookie in the rivers and lakes to a well-known young hero in the rivers and lakes. Fan Zhou was full of respect for this big brother Fang.
This is a dream, Brother Fang has passed away for many years...
Fan Zhou was in a trance, feeling that the scene he was experiencing now had happened to him back then, and the surrounding environment was exactly the same.
Looking around again, the store style and seat orientation are exactly the same as in memory, and even the strange shopkeeper next to him, who wiped the abacus with a rag from beginning to end, looks exactly the same as before when he saw it.
He turned his gaze back again.
I remember that Brother Fang should be holding a baby in his hand...
Looking at it again, it was just like the time in memory, Fang Tai and his elder brother were holding a swaddling baby in their hands, and even the color of the bedding was exactly the same as before.
It seemed that the memory valve was triggered, and the scene suddenly became more vivid.
It really is a dream...
"no…"
Fang Taihe shook his head and sat at the table.
Fan Zhou pushed the plate forward, and asked the waiter for a bowl of millet rice. Brother Fang on the opposite side picked up his chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls before continuing, "I'm about to leave the rivers and lakes."
"ah?"
The chopsticks protruding towards the fat slices stopped, Fan Zhou didn't care that he was replaying the scene from that year, and said in a shocked tone: "Brother Fang, why...why? Whose child is this?"
Fang Taihe smiled and said, "Don't get excited, Xiao Zhou."
Fan Zhou's tone was a little urgent:
"Brother Fang, are you going to wash your hands because of this child?"
"Yes, it is indeed because of him." Fang Taihe took another bite of food, nodded and sighed again, "Oh, of course, it may just be that I am tired and don't want to continue walking, maybe this child is just me. The excuses used to make choices... who knows? The result is the same.”
Put down the chopsticks, bowed his head in silence for a few breaths, Fan Zhou said:
"Well, Brother Fang, since you have already made up your mind, I will not persuade you. After all, you have not missed your choice. Anyway, you are engaged in this business, and you have always been a masked operation. You have no enemies and will not be traced."
"I think so too." Fang Taihe said, "I don't have any enemies, and I don't have any reputation. I don't even need to hide my name. I just live by this real name. No one will care about my past or whether I have ever been in the world. Chinese."
Fan Zhou asked: "Who is this child?"
Hearing this question, Fang Taihe looked lovingly at the baby in his arms, the child was sleeping, and his little face was full of tranquility. He said to the little brother in front of him:
"A few days ago we took another job. We robbed a group of people halfway in the outskirts of Huaifeng Mansion. The money was not much, but the risk was very small, but after taking action, the feeling was completely different."
"It was a convoy, but the resistance was quite fierce. The rise of the leader led most of the people to break the rules and killed many people. I was still behind and did not move forward or stop them. I saw them kill the convoy and rob everyone. fan."
"If you do such a big thing, you will face constant pursuit by the government later on, and it will be difficult to get along. This group originally gathered and dispersed at any time due to missions. Before the group broke up, someone found an old servant holding a baby in the dead body."
"When everyone had a brief discussion, the leader felt compassionate and didn't choose to kill me. He chose me at random and asked me to find someone to foster. For this reason, he gave me an extra share at the end."
"Everyone broke up on the spot. I looked around, but I couldn't find anyone who could send this child there."
"I don't know which nerve was wrong in my head. I decided to adopt him by myself, and I will never eat this kind of food again. In this way, I am going to go back to my hometown to live in seclusion. I just saw you here by accident, drinking alone. Come up and say hi."
"Why, Xiao Zhou, after all these years, you still haven't found a partner?"
Hearing Big Brother Fang’s last joke, Fan Zhou was a little shy, and he said shyly: “The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, it’s so easy to fall in love with each other, and the current ghostly appearance of being a family from all over the world, hey, it’s impossible.”
"Xiao Zhou, if you have the opportunity, you still have to seize it. Don't be like your elder brother Fang, who is still alone when he is old. But with this child, I don't think I will have to think about other things in the future."
"Brother Fang, did you go to the parents of this child?"
"Actually... I don't know." Fang Taihe ate the corn and rice in the bowl in one go, withdrew his right hand and gently patted the baby in the crook of his left arm, humming a few times, making the baby sleep more soundly.
"However, the convoy traveled from west to east, and only passed by Huaifeng Mansion, and judging from the appearance of the animals and carriages, it should be a long journey. The people inside are quite consistent, and they all speak the accent of the west of Long'an Mansion."
"By the way, in my impression, there is a caravan occupying half of the space, and the resistance is the fiercest. Their sign is 'Aeon'."
Today's update, the schedule is getting more and more wrong, and it is getting more and more deviated from the early to bed and early to rise code, try to adjust it.
