(For @Wang Xiaoming Jiageng)

The man who appeared in the darkness was like a dead object, with no breath at all.

He appeared quietly in front of the little carpenter like blue bricks, red mud and moss by the alley.

When the little carpenter saw him for the first time, he subconsciously felt a familiar look. When the other party spoke and called him "Thirteen", the little carpenter was shocked and showed an incredible expression on his face.

After a while, he shouted with some difficulty: "Master?"

The reason why the other party looks familiar is because the two have met each other.

This guy is the one who turned from a stone statue into a living person in the tomb of King Miao - both in appearance and in other aspects, they all look like normal.

Only the body shape has changed from a huge stone statue to a height that is like an ordinary person at this moment.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the little carpenter's whole body suddenly felt numb.

Although there are some differences in the voice, the tone and tone are exactly his master Lu Da.

With the expression on the other person's face, it was really the same.

The little carpenter hesitated for a while and finally shouted "Master".

Although he felt unbelievable, the facts were in front of him - his master Lu Da, who should have died in the tomb of King Miao, actually appeared in front of him alive.

His appearance confirmed all the guesses of the little carpenter.

If Lu Da really planned everything as he imagined, how could he be killed by just Zhang Qiming?

After all, Lu Da’s death, from beginning to end, was just a drama directed and acted by him.

Zhang Qiming had already seen this matter, and Wu Banxian was also somewhat suspicious.

But the little carpenter has never been willing to believe it.

After all, Lu Da in his eyes and Lu Da in others' eyes are actually two different people.

Or a different personality.

The reunion of the master and apprentice should have been a very touching scene, but the little carpenter who had experienced too many things was not excited at all.

Although he also called the other party "Master", he treated the other party like a stranger.

After all, he couldn't figure out how he should treat Lu Da.

The man walked up and called out again: "Thirteen..."

The little carpenter said, "What should I call you? Is it the master, the ancestor of Lotus, or Xu Sansui?"

The man said, "Everything is OK."

In a simple sentence, I directly admit that he is Xu Sansui, who became famous in Tanzhou.

The little carpenter opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Instead, Lu Da spoke: "There are so many people here, let's talk about it in another place."

After saying that, he walked up and grabbed the little carpenter's wrist.

His movement made the little carpenter return to his childhood in an instant. Lu Da was like this, holding his hand and walking in the mountains and forests, wandering around the southwest to beg for food and find work.

So he subconsciously suppressed the idea of ​​resisting and let the other party hold his hand.

Then he felt the surrounding scenery twist and quickly retreated behind him, like lightning...

After several ups and downs, the two appeared on the top of a mountain. In the distance was the night view of the brightly lit Shanghai beach, and further away, there was the vast and turbulent Yangtze River beach flowing eastward...

What's the situation?

Even though the little carpenter was knowledgeable, he was a little confused by Lu Da's move. Then, Lu Da let go of his hand and walked to the edge of the cliff.

The night wind blows, it’s very cool, like running water.

Lu Da looked into the distance, while the little carpenter fell into silence. The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Lu Da finally spoke: "I know, there must be many questions in your heart. Now I'm here, what do you want to know, tell me."

The little carpenter looked at the other party and then said, "Is there anything I need to ask me for?"

Lu Da waited for a long time, but when he waited for such a question, he felt a little bit of a waist flapping.

Then he smiled.

This child is completely different from when he was with him before.

Going alone in the world can really make people grow quickly.

After laughing, Lu Da pondered the words and said, "Ma Yi Liu, and a few old friends, I have always felt that you are lucky and should be able to grow up quickly. But now when I really see you, I feel a little bit unbelievable - things in the world are really amazing..."

He sighed for a moment, and then answered the little carpenter's question: "I'm here to find you, there's nothing else, I'm just here to say goodbye to you."

The little carpenter asked in confusion: "Farewell?"

Lu Da nodded and said, "Yes, say goodbye-I want to do something, this thing is basically a life-and-death life, and I can't come back alive. So before I set off, I recalled my life and felt that the most owed was probably you, the apprentice. So I decided to come over to see you, as a farewell..."

The little carpenter asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Da replied: "It is not convenient to tell you this for the time being. Someone will come to you later and tell you all this..."

The little carpenter couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Then you dare to tell me that you can raise any questions if you have any questions."

Lu Da felt the tone of the little carpenter, hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "I know that my fake death has brought you huge harm and has also made you have many doubts about me. But please believe that it is a must for me to do this - if I were not like this, how could you get to where you are today?"

The little carpenter recalled his experience in the past few years and couldn't help but say, "If possible, I want to be a little carpenter who works every day and makes a living by strength..."

His ideal is really not great, he just wants to live a stable life by relying on his skills.

Some things are known more, the more painful it is.

Lu Da said: "We were born in this world and never lived a peaceful life. You are like this, so am I, this is fate..."

The little carpenter was just sighing. When he heard Lu Da say this, he couldn't help asking again: "You are the same? Not necessarily, right?"

Lu Da said: "More than 20 years ago, a war broke out in the northeast of our country. Both sides of the war were Russia and Japan. In order to maintain their hegemony in the northeast, two different countries fought hard on our territory. The already corrupt Qing court was powerless, but the innocent people on the battlefield were suffering... "

He talked with the little carpenter about a war that took place more than twenty years ago.

At the end, he changed his mind and said, "You may ask, why did I say this - in fact, what I want to say is that twenty years ago, I should have died in that war. Being able to live to this day is completely merciful to God, and I feel that I have nothing to do."

The little carpenter asked: "What you went to do this time is related to that war?"

Lu Da said: "Yes, at that time, there was a man who slaughtered all the town where my friends and I stopped for a trivial matter. Thousands of civilians in the town were killed and injured; and in our group of more than 20 people, only four were left..."

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "For the next twenty years, and even the rest of our lives, we will live to kill that man. Now, my deadline is approaching, and the time is not long. If I don't fight with him while my soul is still stable, I will have a chance today, and I am afraid I will not have a chance in the future..."

The little carpenter asked, "So that's it, so I'm also a tool for revenge for you?"

Lu Da stared at him and was silent for a while, but said, "In the past, I denied the plans of Ma Yi Liu and the others, so that you can live your own life. Our affairs will not be borne by the next generation."

The little carpenter asked again: "So, you kidnapped me from Ganjiabao?"

Lu Da was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you think?"

The little carpenter asked, "Isn't it?"

Lu Da shook his head and said, "I have never been to the northwest. You were handed over to me by Ma Yi Liu. As for how you came from the northwest, I don't know this..."

What?

Although the little carpenter had already let go of the past, he was still a little surprised when he heard the news.

His greatest dissatisfaction with Lu Da, in addition to hiding himself to death, was to bring himself from Ganjiabao, especially when he and his sister were hungry and cold and had no choice but to leave it alone, which eventually led to his sister's death...

This was the most difficult thing for him to let go, at least before his sudden enlightenment, he was still resentful.

However, I didn't expect that there were such twists and turns in the middle.

It turned out that there was a person between him and Lu Da.

Mai Liu.

The little carpenter stared at Lu Da, looking at him not as if he was lying, and couldn't help but sigh.

He finally felt completely relieved.

Just when his emotions were completely relieved, Lu Da also offered his farewell: "Okay, I have seen you too. I found that you are better than I thought, so I will never regret it again. Thirteen, I have some mistakes in the past, but I still hope you can live a good life. After all, I have no son in my life and treat you as half a child. From then on, you will decide your life yourself. If you want to live, you will live there. Don't leave any regrets..."

After nagging these things, he was about to leave, but the little carpenter finally asked the last question: "Wait... Gu Baiguo, is it your person?"

Lu Da, who was about to leave, stopped, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

He said, "She is a good girl. The reason why she helped me against her will is for her mother, and she has filial piety... It's a pity that my deadline is approaching, and I can't help her and fulfill her promise. Alas, it's a pity..."

After Lu Da finished speaking, he stepped on the cliff ahead.

Step through the void and no one can see.
