Volume 3: The disputes in Mingzhou City are gone, and it is difficult to carve a rotten wood for a hundred years Chapter 259 So death is a terrible thing
Human death is always lonely, no matter how long the dying person has lived, no matter whether his life was successful or beautiful.
Because he will eventually face the world after death alone. No matter how many people and things he has experienced in his life, nothing can accompany him through the rest of his journey.
He may be wealthy, but he cannot take a penny with him when he dies; he may be able to call his friends over, but he will eventually close his eyes alone; he may be able to decorate his house with lights and decorations, but in the end, all he can see is still darkness.
Death is always lonely, and is often accompanied by the pain of losing everything. So people are afraid of death, afraid of losing everything they have gained in their lives.
But there are always people who are unwilling to be lonely. How to make their death more meaningful and let people remember them seems to be a good way.
Gongsun Yangzhi is already an old guy, so old that almost everyone has forgotten him.
Although he once fought hard in the underworld and gained a reputation, now no one in the underworld would mention his name anymore.
In other words, most of the people of his generation in the martial arts world have disappeared in the vast rivers, lakes and seas.
But Gongsun Yangzhi was a person who could not bear loneliness. He just happened to be a person who could not bear loneliness. He did not want to die silently in this corner of the world.
He wanted to die with more meaning and color.
Even if he would be forgotten in the end, at least when he died, he wanted everyone in the world to remember his name.
Remember this old guy, he once left his mark in this world.
He didn't want to die in oblivion.
So after he confirmed that his death was approaching, the first thing he did was to spend two full years digging a secret passage in the palace's sky prison.
When it comes to the skill of holding his breath and hiding his breath, he has few rivals in this world.
Then he spent all his family wealth and asked Mr. Wan Jin to buy ten doses of the secret golden medicine that could restore the martial arts of a disabled person.
What is he going to do? It is actually very simple. He is going to create a huge storm together with a group of people who have long been forgotten by this world.
Mr. Wan Jin is right, he is a madman, a not uncommon person who has been driven mad by this world.
Because he just couldn't understand why people had to die with nothing.
He is not afraid of death. He just has experienced what it is like to be a human being, so he doesn't want to become a ghost.
…
In July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Fortunately, there were some heavy rains in the past few days, which washed away some of the sultry heat.
Li Si was sitting in his own farm drinking herbal tea, looking very leisurely. He had made a lot of money recently by helping others deliver letters.
It must be said that this was indeed a good idea. Why hadn't he thought of it earlier? After all, with his Qinggong, he could go back and forth in less than half a day, while it would take others several days or even more than ten days to go back and forth. That was after he had wandered around for a while.
Moreover, his days were much more leisurely at the moment. When he had no letters to deliver, he could sit in the farm and rest for a while.
After solving the financial crisis in Zhuangzi, Li Si sent the third son Li Huiwen and the sixth son Li Mu, who loved reading the most, to study in a nearby school.
As for the other few who are not ambitious, if they like to practice martial arts, let them practice. At least with him around, they will not become illiterate white men.
What was new was that Zhang Shan actually liked painting. Upon learning this, Li Si taught him some simple techniques. He learned really well, at least much better than Li Si who could only paint but not think. Even if he couldn't learn martial arts in the future, he wouldn't starve to death with such a skill.
On the other side of the compound, Su Hongluo was teaching a few children how to do horse stance.
Looking at the bamboo stick in her hand, the children dared not move even though she had hardly ever hit anyone with it. They just let beads of sweat drip down and soak their clothes.
To explain why Su Hongluo was here, we have to start from the day she left the brothel.
After listening to the story of Li Si and his wife, the first thing Su Hongluo did when she returned home was to tell her father that she didn't want to get married. To put it bluntly, she just wanted to live out her life alone.
Her father was puzzled at first, and then he began to persuade her. When that didn't work, he pulled her mother and brother to persuade her together.
After several days of persuasion, the dissatisfaction of both sides finally broke out two days ago.
Su Hongluo had a big fight with her father, then left home and temporarily went to Li Si's Wenlai Villa.
In her words, she just wanted to let both sides cool down. After seven or eight days, she would go home and have a good talk with her father.
Considering that she was still rational and had paid, Li Si let her stay temporarily. After all, she was only staying for seven or eight days, and Wenlai Villa was not without guest rooms.
So Su Hongluo stayed here for a while.
Li Si didn't care about this. After all, Su Hongluo wouldn't pester him about proposing marriage anymore.
But Su Hongluo's arrival really made life difficult for the children in the villa.
Because she didn't want to be idle, Su Hongluo asked Li Si if he could temporarily let her take care of teaching the children martial arts.
Perhaps thinking that his daily discipline was indeed a bit too lenient, Li Si thought about it and agreed.
And so began the dark days for the children.
Su Hongluo was a daughter of a general, so her way of teaching martial arts was naturally based on military methods . She was too strict and not very kind. Even though she had restrained herself, the children still suffered a lot from her training. Fortunately, Su Hongluo had always been very sensible and had never hurt a child.
I think he gave an instruction that everyone could rest after lighting an incense stick of time.
Su Hongluo finally left the compound, walked to the side of the yard, and sat down next to Li Si.
"Oh, this weather is so hot." While complaining about the sultry sun, Su Hongluo picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of cold tea.
"Is this really okay?" Li Si asked with a wry smile, looking at the children who were doing horse stance in the yard with sweat on their foreheads.
"Why don't we let them rest for a while? The sun is quite strong."
"You are just too soft-hearted." Su Hongluo rolled her eyes at Li Si and said, "When none of them can become useful in the future, who will take care of you in your old age?"
"What does success or failure have to do with old-age care and funeral arrangements?" The smile on Li Si's face seemed even more helpless, but he did not insist any more. He shook his head and sighed .
"Well, since I've already handed them over to you, just leave it to you."
"That's it." Su Hongluo drank the tea in her hand in one gulp, wiped her mouth and said.
"My father once said that only those who have endured hardships can become successful people. Some of his words are still reasonable."
"Then why don't you listen to him and find a husband?" Li Si raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief.
This is also the question he has been wanting to ask recently. This girl is fine, why does she suddenly want to live out her life alone?
"Hmm..." When it comes to this topic, Su Hongluo frowned again.
She hesitated for a while, then looked sideways at Li Si and said.
"Don't blame me for being blunt. I just don't want to be like you."
Li Si was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"What do I look like?"
Su Hongluo lowered his brows, and after a few breaths, he slowly put the cup in his hand on the ground, let out a long breath and said.
"I don't want to meet someone worth cherishing and then lose him."
It must be admitted that people are always afraid of losing something. Sometimes they are so afraid that they would rather never have had it.
Su Hongluo had never experienced any relationship worth cherishing, but when she looked at Li Si, she was inexplicably glad that she had never experienced it.
She is also a person who is afraid of losing, but in life, it is destined that one day everything will be lost.
