Chapter 6: The reason for the beginning and the end

The next day, in a hazy state, Shi Yifeng seemed to feel that it was raining heavily outside. The heavy rain suddenly woke him up from his deep sleep.

"Ah..." He stretched his muscles slightly, and waves of relief suddenly came into his mind. Then, he opened his eyes and saw the dim roof.

The rain in late autumn is cold. As the saying goes, a burst of autumn rain is followed by a burst of coolness. The rain in late autumn is cold, with a biting and biting coldness, all over this small hut.

Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Shi Yifeng felt unprecedented clarity in his heart. After thinking about it in the middle of the night, some things finally needed to be fully understood.

Breakfast is either early or late. It consists of two simple pickles, six white and large steamed buns, and three bowls of fragrant porridge, which makes him move his index fingers.

"Go, go, wash your hands before eating!"

His mother's words that sounded like anger, in his eyes, contained deep affection.

After a while, Shi Yifeng sat in his old seat, facing east. His father Shi Cen sat on the main seat facing south. As for his mother, Lu Xiuling, she sat quietly opposite Shi Yifeng.

The simple but exquisite meal made Shi Yifeng feel warm in his heart. If possible, there would be no need to hide in Tibet. This could be regarded as the happiness of a family.

An extraordinarily harmonious feeling emerged spontaneously.

The family was talking and laughing. In fact, since childhood, Shi Yifeng's parents had never beaten or scolded him. Even if it was because the child was naughty and ignorant and caused trouble, it was always a sincere lesson after returning home.

Precisely because of this environment, Shi Yifeng's character is also very gentle, and he rarely fights with others. He is quite like his father, gentle and elegant.

Even in terms of appearance, he mainly takes after his father. Although he cannot be said to be a jade tree in the wind, delicate and handsome, he can be regarded as having an upper-middle-class appearance.

As for her mother, she was the most beautiful woman in the small village. Even after so many years of hardships, she could not hide her unique ladylike temperament.

Time flies by, and I wonder if Shi Yifeng is already fifteen years old. Looking at his parents in front of him, their once black and shiny hair is slightly white.

I recall that when I first came here, I was a family of three with no relatives. If it weren’t for the kindness of my parents that touched the people here, I’m afraid a few of them would still be wandering around now.

I couldn't help but feel a sore nose. The words I had prepared could no longer be uttered. I just thought that my parents could enjoy their future life in peace and no longer have to travel.

However, there are some things that need to be clarified after all. This is related to the future of the father and mother, and to some extent, it affects my own choices.

In his expression, he recalled the intention of going west, and slowly took it back. After gathering his composure, Shi Yifeng stood up solemnly, and knelt down heavily towards his parents.

With a "plop", when the knees touched the ground, there was a clear sound, which made the parents sitting on the stools couldn't help but look at themselves.

"Child, what are you doing?"

Lu Xiuling was a female generation with an extremely weak heart. Normally, she doted on Shi Yifeng, her only son. Seeing this situation now, she couldn't bear to see the child suffer any injustice.

He stood up hurriedly and took a few steps forward. He lifted Shi Yifeng up tightly with both hands. He also kept patting the dust on Shi Yifeng's knees.

His father, Shi Cen, was sitting steadily aside, waiting quietly. Judging from the situation, he seemed to know that Shi Yifeng had something to say to the two of them.

"Father, mother, there is something wrong with my child. After thinking about it again and again, I still feel that I should ask about it. Over the past many years, since my child can remember, I have moved four or five times."

"The most recent time was five years ago. Our family moved here after many twists and turns. This place is the longest we have lived in one place."

"My child knows that you are unwilling to tell me the reason. You must have your own difficulties, so I don't dare to ask more questions. But now I am fifteen years old, and I will be an adult in three years."

"What's going on? What exactly is it? Father and mother are so worried that they dare not tell their children."

There was an aura of persistence between Shi Yifeng's eyes. This series of questions had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he only spoke them out in one breath today.

At this moment, in the eyes of the two of them, the child in front of them seemed to be unwilling to give up if they did not get the answer. They knew that some things must be told to the child after all.

But what would happen if they told the child? With the power of the two of them, they could only hide in Tibet to save the lives of the family of three. What could a child do?

Is it possible for a child to fight on behalf of two of us, or even someone who has already passed away? If it succeeds, fine, but if it fails, what will be the result?

I'm afraid that even this simple and carefree life will be destroyed. Moreover, it is impossible to succeed. They still know very well what their children are capable of.

Seeing the persistence in the child's eyes really made Shi Cen's heart heat up. Finally, he let out a long sigh. "What is supposed to come will come. Sooner or later, you should let me know about this."

At this moment, Shi Cen, who was only less than thirty-five years old, seemed to have figured out something. His whole person suddenly felt like he had gone through many vicissitudes of life.

"There are four great dynasties in our region. There is Qin in the northwest, Qi in the southeast, Zhao in the northeast, and Chu in the southwest."

"The four great dynasties hold the power of life and death in the four kingdoms, and control thousands of living beings. Their territory is extremely vast. Your father is from the Zhao Kingdom, and your mother is the jewel in the eye of the Minister of Rites of the Zhao Kingdom."

This was the first time Shi Cen told himself about this world since he became sensible. Shi Yifeng did not dare to be distracted and looked at his father in front of him with a solemn expression.

"My father was originally just a commoner. He suffered from the cold for ten years. Finally, in the fifteenth year of the Divine Enlightenment, he was selected as the top student in high school and became the city lord of the Two Worlds City in Fengyang County."

"The City of Two Realms was originally a war-torn place, and my father was assigned to be the city lord of this remote place. I thought there was no hope for an official career, so I was discouraged and just wanted to be the lord of this city and benefit the people.

This life is wasted."

"Originally, I might never have had anything to do with your mother in my life. However, fate has played a trick on us. Your grandfather was sent to Qi as an envoy on His Majesty's order, so that we can forever form an alliance between the two countries."

"Unexpectedly, when I passed outside Liangjie City on my way back to the court, I was attacked by dozens of masked men. Your grandfather and more than 20 of his attendants were all killed at the hands of the criminals."

Suddenly hearing bursts of choking sounds coming from his mother, Shi Yifeng hurriedly took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears under his eyes.

"Your mother was only nineteen years old at the time. She hid in the carriage's dark box and was lucky enough to save her life."

After saying this, her mother Lu Xiuling finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Shi Cen on the side held Lu Xiuling's hand tightly. In this way, her mood stabilized.

"On the second day, I received a report from the spies, and I led my soldiers and guards to rush outside the city to the place where the incident occurred. I saw with my own eyes that corpses were everywhere, and the situation was very tragic."

"Immediately arranged for the guards to collect the body, and then played the title of King of Zhao. Suddenly I heard a noise in the carriage, so I hurried over and ordered someone to open the secret box. I found that your mother was so frightened that she fainted."

"Then after returning to the city, make arrangements for your mother, list the important events in this place on the memorial table, and wait for the order of the king."

"What's surprising is that after a month, the imperial edict has still not arrived! At this time, the city lord's palace was attacked by a large number of people at night, and the person who took the lead turned out to be the general of Fengyang County!"

"At that time, I already knew that this matter was definitely not simple, so while I was in a panic, your mother and I escaped from the city under the cover of a few followers and ran around the countryside from then on."

"While on the run, I fell in love with your mother, and we got married sixteen years ago. As for later, a year later, I had you."

After saying this, Shi Cen finally felt a lot more relaxed. This matter had been weighing on his heart for sixteen years, and the fear he had felt in the past sixteen years seemed to have eased a lot at this time.

Shi Yifeng didn't expect that his parents would be burdened with so many things over so many years. After all, all of these things had a great relationship with him.

Fifteen years ago, my parents were kind to me for life, but these fifteen years were kind for upbringing! How can I repay this kind of kindness, the kind of kindness that gave birth to me?

He held back the tears in his eyes and didn't let them fall. He took a step forward, opened his arms and hugged his parents, unwilling to separate for a long time.

At this moment, he also understood a lot. For so many years, his parents had been living on the run, coupled with his own drag, one can only imagine how much suffering his parents had endured!

"You must give your parents justice!" I secretly warned myself in my heart,

Finally, the tea time passed quickly. The three of them were no longer sad because of this life encounter. They understood that what had happened, no matter how sad it was, was over, and the road ahead was still long...

In the end, it seemed that Shi Yifeng's parents had already planned. They not only told the whole story, but also discussed letting him go to the outside world.

Firstly, it is to see the outside world and increase one's knowledge; secondly, it is to go out and relax, and don't always trap yourself in this small village.

However, the main reason is that even if the enemy finds this place in the future, there is still a bloodline left.
