Chapter 16 (1/2)
In Linjia village, drums and music are singing
The annual adult ceremony is the most lively event in this small mountain village.
”Congratulations, brother De, you've got a beauty.”
”Just promoted to a senior martial arts apprentice and won the first place in the adult ceremony, brother De is really a double happiness!”
Listening to the compliments from the surrounding, Linde held his head high and his face was rosy and proud. He glanced at Lin Jie not far away and grinned, ”you should congratulate ah Jie. This guy is really lucky to take Xiaolu, one of the two flowers this year.”
”Yes! I don't know what happened to Lin Feng. The adult ceremony didn't appear. Bai let him pick up a bargain.”
”Lin Feng may have low self-esteem? Ha, after all, his family is so poor that he raises four alone. Which girl wants to follow him? It's bad luck for eight generations, ha ha!”
……
In the distance, he looked at the people faintly, and Lin Feng came at random.
Returning to this familiar land, he felt completely different. Faces and houses were still so familiar, but he had no previous touch, as if everything had changed in a day.
”Lin Feng!” I don't know who shouted in surprise. In an instant, everyone's eyes in the square gathered in an uproar.
”It's only now. The bar mitzvah is almost over.”
”Alas, a good young man will die alone in the future.”
……
Gossip came from time to time, and Lin Feng didn't care.
Glancing not far away, a familiar figure waved his hands to him happily. Lin Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth and walked over.
He is the only one in Linjia village who makes him feel warm inside——
friend.
Lin Jie trotted over and asked anxiously, ”how's it going, ah Feng, have you passed, have you passed?”
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
”Yeah!” Lin Jie shouted, whistling happily, and his worries dispersed.
”How about marrying Yi'er or Xiao Lu?” Lin Feng smiled.
”Hey, Xiao Lu, the guy ad chose Yi'er.” Lin Jie's cheeks were slightly red, he scratched his head and said with a tut: ”but we're no better than you, my God... 18-year-old martial artist! According to my father, it's very rare in qihuo town. Ah Feng, you'll prosper sooner or later. What kind of woman do you want then!”
Lin Feng smiled calmly.
For myself, getting married... Is too far away.
What he wants to do most now is to become a real warrior through actual combat assessment and let his family live a good life!
”It's just the one who prepares for martial arts.” Lin Feng patted Lin Jie on the chest with the back of his hand and said, ”I'll go first and talk later.”
”OK, I'll find you when the bar mitzvah is over!”
They looked at each other and smiled. Lin Feng waved away.
He can't wait to go home and tell his family the good news.
Staring at Lin Feng's back, Lin Jie couldn't help sighing and hissing. They grew up together since childhood, but now he can only watch Lin Feng's back go farther and farther. Once we were on the same starting line, but now we have completely moved towards two separate roads.
He is really happy to marry Xiao Lu, but compared with Lin Feng's success, this happiness seems to become so insignificant
”How's it going, ah Jie? Does Lin Feng regret it?” Lin De walked forward and said with a cheerful laugh: ”I won't give Yi'er to him. If I miss it, I'll miss it. I think he must have been too excited last night. When he woke up, he found it was so late, ha ha ha!”
Looking at the Lin Feng who has been pressing himself, but he is married like a beautiful family member, Lin De's heart is full of joy and excitement.
”De Ge is right!”
”Ha ha ha!”
Hearing the speech, the people immediately roared and laughed. Although they had no hatred with Lin Feng, people were like this. They were inexplicably happy to see the excellent people in the past suddenly fall down.
Lin Jie twitched at the corners of his mouth, sneered, turned his head, looked at Lin De's eyes with pity, and stared: ”too excited? Regret? Thanks to your imagination, do you think Lin Feng will care about the family like adult ceremony? People have passed the examination and will become a martial artist soon!”
”Oh, it's childish and ridiculous...”
Shaking his head, Lin Jie left with a mocking look, as if laughing at everyone's ignorance.
Leaving a pale, ashamed Linde who wanted to dig a hole into it and a group of tongue tied young people, they looked at each other.
Warrior
What an unattainable existence it is.
※※※
Walking on the familiar mountain path, Lin Feng felt endless emotion in his heart.
Back home, his state of mind has changed alone.
Now I am eager to grow, become stronger and have my own pride!
More eager to change the fate and let the family live a good life!
”Ten days, we should make good use of these ten days.”
”As long as I pass the actual combat assessment of martial artists, I can join Xiaoyang martial arts gate and soar to the sky!”
