Chapter 474: a suicide note
Chapter 474 A suicide note
Under the snowy night, the figure dressed in white almost merged with the wind and snow in the mountains.
In such a quiet little village, there are even late-night visitors.
The wind was blowing, and the wooden door was shattered by the wind, making a "squeak" sound, and people couldn't help but worry that they would fall down when they looked at it.
A dim yellow light in the room was lit slightly, which could let people know that there was someone inside.
The door slammed for a while, and then there was a slight noise inside, and then the door was pushed open, and a small figure walked out.
"Who is it?" The childish voice of a child did not sound unfamiliar.
"Naturally it's a visitor." The visitor replied.
The slender figure approached with an oil lamp, and when he saw the peerless demeanor of the man standing outside the door, he was slightly taken aback, but he didn't show any surprise.
"It turned out to be you, young master in white, come in quickly."
He opened the wooden door and stepped sideways to make way.
It was not the first time he had seen this little drug boy, but this time it made him feel a little strange.
"What, you knew I was coming?" He walked behind him, and then asked.
"You can say the same thing. The master explained that one day you will definitely come, so let me stay here."
The man hadn't figured out the meaning of those words, and had followed him into the house.
It is very simple inside, and the whole room can be seen at a glance.
"Where's your master?" He asked a little puzzled. Every time he came, he could see the old man with a stern look despite his old age.
Could it be that someone in the village was ill, so he went to the doctor in the middle of the night?
But he didn't want to, but the boy's answer shocked him.
"Master passed away more than two months ago."
"What?" The news surprised him, "Why is it so sudden?"
"Yeah, ever since he learned about the murder of Taishi Feng, Master was so heartbroken that he became seriously ill. He said that his death was approaching, and after lying on the sickbed for a while, he let go and was buried in the up the hill behind."
I think of him, Li Qingxun, a dignified generation of imperial physicians, who used to be in charge of the entire Taiyuan Hospital, but in the end he ended up being a prisoner. .
"You just said... He told you to stay here. He had already guessed that one day I would come over. Do you have any last words to explain?"
"Yes, Master once wrote a letter before his death. If you come, I will hand it over to you in person. He also said that you must come in person. If it is someone else, it is absolutely impossible."
But the man didn't know whether the letter he left was in line with his intention to come today?
The child pulled out a wooden box tightly wrapped with cloth from under the bed. It seemed to prevent thieves, so it was wrapped several times.
He dug out a key from another place, opened the wooden box, and took out the letter inside.
The man stepped aside and opened the envelope.
The boy was also very sensible and did not come to disturb him, and now he is the only one here.
He was an orphan. He was abandoned by his parents in the snow on the first day he was born. It was the master who picked him up and brought him home. Now that the master has gone, he has already helped him fulfill his last wish. He has nothing but here. A place to stay.
…
When the man saw the contents of Dr. Li's letter, his hands trembled slightly.
"I hope you can give up your hatred, but you don't want to do it in the end. When the city was destroyed that night, although Taishi Feng was responsible, he was not guilty of death. Besides, he has made up for too much over the years. The merits outweigh the demerits. I know that I am going to die soon. People are about to die, and their words are also good. There is a secret that I wanted to take into the coffin, but I had to tell it. Not only is Feng Taishi not your enemy , and also your benefactor. When Emperor Shizu of Southern Chu succeeded to the throne, he slaughtered some officials of the previous dynasty and the descendants of the royal family. It was Taishi Feng who took the risk to save you. Otherwise, how do you think you escaped safely? I I had promised Taishi Feng that I would not tell this secret until I died, but I didn't want to have such a result. You killed a good official who served the country and the people. This is really a sin. Since the big mistake has been Casting, the old man can only persuade you to stop this matter, let everything end on you, and become an eternal secret."
The man clenched his fists tightly, and the thin letter seemed to be turned into fly ash in his hands in the next second.
This was not the result he wanted to know, and he had no such mental preparation at all before coming here.
If all this is true, then what has he hated for the Feng family all these years? Who is lying to him.
As long as he could remember, he knew that he was carrying the hatred of the country and the family, and it was the two masters Xiling and Beique who rescued him from the villains. Because of this life-saving grace, in the past years, no matter what they asked him to do, he would try his best to do it without complaint. Even if he had to stand against them because of Feng Yinshuang, he didn't really want to hurt them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling chills all over. If these were just a lie from the beginning, it would be really hateful. He thinks that no one has ever dared to play any tricks in front of him, but in fact, it is very likely that he has been deceived and played around in circles for more than 20 years.
If what Li Qingxun said was true, he still wanted to take revenge on all of them, and even... hurt his beloved woman, what a stupid thing he did.
Li Qingxun died like this, leaving only such a letter, which was enough to set off a huge wave in his heart, but no one could answer him personally.
Xiaotong looked at him timidly from the side. After all, he was just a child. Seeing his gloomy and heavy eyes at this time, he would also feel scared.
At the end of the letter, Dr. Li also asked him to help settle the child, and said his poor background.
After a man has been suppressed for a long time, he can stabilize his mood.
He turned around slowly and said indifferently, "Do you want to leave here with me?"
The child looked a little scared. He probably thought of the instructions from his master before he died, so he nodded and agreed and walked to his side.
"Can I wait until dawn, and I want to go to Master's grave to put a stick of incense for him, kowtow before leaving?"
At a young age, he is very filial and grateful, which seems to remind him that a man should know how to repay his gratitude.
He agreed to stay here overnight, and he took out the crumpled letter that he had saved and read it many times.
In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind.
