Mr. Bai's funeral has not yet been held, and Mr. Xue, who was as famous as Mr. Bai half a century ago, has also left.
From the perspective of a fujoshi gay, this is probably a tragic story worthy of praise for thousands of years.
But if you look at the few who experienced the game between the Bai and Xue families, it would be a different feeling.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, talents emerged in large numbers in China. At the same time, the situation was also changing.
Along the way, Xue and Bai have made great progress, but also experienced dark valleys. When the two families stabilized their foundation and found that only each other was left in the same plane, these two old people with the deepest knowledge in China began a half-century-long open and covert struggle. ,
This is human nature, and at the same time, it is also fate.
Half a century is enough for a young man who was born in a thatched cottage to be on his deathbed. Even a baby who fell to the ground has spent most of his life and has seen through almost everything that should be seen. But these two most famous old people in Yanjing have struggled. On the day of death,
On the surface, Mr. Xue won,
In fact, he lost,
During his lifetime, he was stable and steady, and his style was stable and moderate, so his life was much smoother. This was his path and his character.
But Mr. Bai is not that kind of person. He is radical, evil-minded, arrogant but decisive in killing. Otherwise, why would most of the top ten masters of Jiufeng, except Lin Tianwang, fall under his sect? Is it just because of his extraordinary strength? ,
In this life, Mr. Bai has been much more bumpy than Mr. Xue, but after the social order is stable and harmonious, Mr. Bai can still make the Bai family stand at the top, and even personally created an organization that makes the whole world talk about it.
He is evil, but he is a winner in life,
Even Grandma Zhuge lowered her face and hid it for the Bai family. Doesn't it still prove something?
Mr. Xue is dead,
In fact, his life span has long since expired.
Ning Gu, who has served him closely for many years, knows this very well.
He is not dead, not because he is afraid of death, but because he does not dare to die.
If Mr. Bai is not dead, how can he rest assured that he will die?
Ning Gu said he won, but he was completely defeated.
But no matter what, this pair of elderly people who have been in China for half a century finally passed away from this world, leaving behind too many stories and topics for future generations.
Xue Bailing was very calm,
At least much calmer than Xue Gui,
She handled the old man's posthumous affairs meticulously, and at the same time she had to maintain the stability of the Xue family so that the world would not be in chaos after the old man passed away.
Xue Gui cried very sadly. He never expected that he would not be able to see his great-grandfather for the last time. In his mind, his voice and appearance were vaguely visible. In Xue Gui's heart, his great-grandpa was extremely good. He Kind, kind, obedient to his own requests, and never even scolded himself. Except for the fairy aunt, great-grandfather is Xue Gui's closest relative, closer than his parents.
Now that he is gone, Xue Gui feels that one of the two mountains in his heart has collapsed.
The old man's posthumous affairs are all handled by Xue Bailing. Correspondingly, the old man's posthumous affairs are fully handled by Bai Twelve.
After Lin Ze learned about the death of Mr. Xue, he rushed to Xue's house as soon as possible. Seeing that Xue Bailing could still hold on, he stayed with Xue Gui, who was in a daze. He was afraid that this immature guy would be stupid.
late at night,
Xue Bailing finished what she was doing and dragged her exhausted body to Xue Gui's room.
Xue Gui's wife was preparing to put her drunken husband to bed. When she saw the well-deserved number one person in the Xue family coming in, she stepped forward and said softly: "Auntie, you are looking for Xue Gui."
Even though she was only a few years younger than Xue Bailing, she didn't sound awkward when she called her aunt. On the contrary, she was a little proud.
I don’t know how many of my best friends who came to Xue’s house envied me for having such an unrivaled aunt.
"Yes." Xue Bailing nodded lightly and walked towards Xue Gui with a slightly tired look.
Seeing that her aunt didn't look very good, she couldn't help but go out to make tea for the two of them and create some private space.
Xue Gui looked at his aunt walking over and weakly sat up from the bed: "Aunt, you have worked hard these past few days. I really feel..."
Halfway through his words, his eyes turned red again.
"The old man is gone. Your sadness and pain at least prove that you really love the old man, unlike some people who are hypocritical." Xue Bailing said coldly,
Xue Gui naturally understood what his aunt said. He clenched his fists but could not say a word.
Xue Bailing approached her nephew, gently wiped the tears on his face, and said softly: "If a man can't help crying, don't cry, especially a man who has a family and a career."
Xue Gui raised his head, stared at his aunt's soft face, bit his lip and said, "I understand."
Xue Bailing got his answer, sat next to him, gently held his shoulders, and asked in a soft tone: "What should you do if I die."
This sentence completely frightened Xue Gui.
"The old man is gone, and I am as sad and painful as you. But sometimes, the sadness and pain cannot be seen by outsiders. The old man is gone, and I am there to support you. If I die, you will still degenerate yourself like you are now. ?”
"Auntie doesn't want to add salt to your wounds, but you are a man and you have a family now. It won't be long before you have children of your own."
"Do you know why I like Lin Ze? In terms of appearance, family background, talent, and knowledge, how can he compare to you? Even though he has an unborn father behind him, does he have any influence from his father? Not only does he not have that, but because he has that The road for a father is even more bumpy and arduous, but he never lets outsiders see his weakness and pain. He always shows his best side to his relatives and lovers."
"He can give people a sense of security, because no one believes that he will collapse one day. As for you, you are not only sad and sad, but also helpless. I am still here, but you will be like this. If I leave, Are you going crazy?"
"A woman, a woman like your wife, looks down upon a husband who is not strong enough or brave enough."
"A real man is one who is not afraid of death for the sake of his true love, but one who is responsible and stands firm in the face of all hardships."
Xue Gui sniffed and tried to hold back his sadness.
"Auntie, don't stay up late tonight, I'll come." Xue Gui got off the bed and said,
"Go to sleep." Xue Bailing held him down, "When you get up tomorrow morning, give your wife a warm embrace, she needs it."
…
Xue Bailing was sitting alone on the stone bench where the old man often drank tea. The house was very lively and brightly lit, but the backyard where grandpa lived was peaceful and quiet. As usual, there was only one street light.
Under the street lamp, Xue Bailing sat quietly on the stone bench and meditated, or maybe, she was in a daze,
She was very tired, but she couldn't sleep. Her grandfather died, and her pain was no less than that of Xue Bailing, but as she said, the Xue family was now supported by her, and she could not be defeated by grief, and she had to let people outside see it. Even if the old man is gone, the Xue family is still someone they need to look up to.
"well,."
Suddenly, a quiet sigh came from behind,
She didn't turn her head, but she knew who the man standing behind her was.
"It's so late, why haven't you gone back yet?" Xue Bailing put down the cooling tea cup in her hand,
"Actually, I planned to go back before, but I found Xue Gui's wife hiding in a corner crying. I wasn't familiar with her, so I didn't dare to go up to comfort her." Lin Ze slowly walked over and sat next to Xue Bailing,
The last time he and the old man had breakfast here, the old man said something to him that only a person who is about to die would say. Now that the old man is really gone, he feels inexplicably sad and silently remembers this person who can be the guiding light of his life. old man,
"She won't cry tomorrow." Xue Bailing said softly,
After hearing this, Lin Ze was quiet for a while, then lit a cigarette and stared at Xue Bailing softly: "My shoulders are not strong, and my chest is not broad enough, but I can let you lie down for a while."
"You know, I can't." Xue Bailing raised her head slightly, glanced at the dark sky, and murmured, "Grandpa has been holding on until now, not only because he was afraid of rushing ahead of the old man of the Bai family, but also because he felt distressed Me, he doesn’t say these words, but I understand.”
Lin Ze was stunned and said bitterly: "If you push yourself like this, you are not afraid of driving yourself crazy."
"Aren't you living a good life?" Xue Bailing said,
"I am a man." Lin Ze straightened his face and frowned slightly.
"I'm not." Xue Bailing said,
Lin Ze was speechless,
But immediately, he grabbed Xue Bailing's hand: "In my heart, you are the most feminine man."
Xue Bailing raised her eyebrows: "This is the most beautiful compliment I have ever heard in my life."
"Come here early on the day of the funeral." Xue Bailing stood up and said as she walked, "I've saved a seat for you."
