Perhaps because it was too early, when the sky was bright, the huge Babaoshan Cemetery was quiet. There were almost no people in sight, and only tombstones could be seen among the green pines.
Pei Donglai was walking on the road to the cemetery carrying a suitcase and flowers, feeling unable to calm down.
This is Pei Donglai¡¯s second time here.
Last September, when the global special forces competition ended, he fulfilled his promise to the old man of the Xiao family, and he and Xiao Kuang came here with three golden trophies to pay homage to the old man of the Xiao family.
Today, he came to pay homage to Xiao Fei.
As a founding hero of the People's Republic of China, the grave of the old man of the Xiao family is located in the north-facing top cemetery with the highest political standards. However, Xiao Fei, who was rated as first-class meritorious and given the title of martyr after his death, is not qualified to be buried there. His cemetery is located in A cemetery at the southern end.
Um?
When Pei Donglai walked to the southern end of the tomb area, he suddenly saw a woman dressed in black standing among the dense tombstones.
Although he only saw the back of the woman in black, Pei Donglai recognized her.
The woman in black with a haircut is none other than Chen Ying.
This discovery made Pei Donglai couldn't help but stop, think for a moment, and decided to wait where he was, giving Chen Ying and Xiao Fei space to 'talk'.
About half an hour later, Chen Ying stopped "talking" to Xiao Fei, turned around, and suddenly spotted Pei Donglai a hundred meters away.
This discovery made her slightly startled, but then she walked towards Pei Donglai calmly.
Pei Donglai saw this and did not stop. He met him head-on.
"Sister Chen."
The two met and before they got close, Pei Donglai took the lead in saying hello and quickened his pace.
When Chen Ying saw this, she stopped and waited until Pei Donglai came closer before saying, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, I just arrived and saw you there. I knew you had something to say to Brother Xiao. So I didn't go over to disturb you." Pei Donglai shook his head gently.
"It doesn't matter." Chen Ying said calmly: "Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. Originally I was supposed to come tomorrow, but I thought there would be a lot of people coming tomorrow, so I came today first."
Um?
Chen Ying's words rang in my ears, and I looked at Chen Ying's calm look. Pei Donglai was slightly startled.
In his memory. When Chen Ying talked about Xiao Fei before. There will be some mood swings more or less, but now my heart is calm, for this reason. He knew very well that Chen Ying had now emerged from the shadow of Xiao Fei's death.
"Donglai, thank you."
Seeing that Pei Donglai was silent, Chen Ying looked at Pei Donglai with a hint of gratitude, "Thank you for letting me no longer live in the past, and thank you even more for everything you have done for him."
"Sister Chen, this is what I should do."
Pei Donglai shook his head. He knew very well that without merging Xiao Fei's soul, he would not be able to reach this point today. Even if he did not rely on Pei Wufu and only relied on his own words, even stepping into the Qin family would be extremely difficult. Difficult things.
"If you let him know what you have accomplished today, he will surely rest in peace under the Nine Springs."
Chen Ying stared at Pei Donglai's mature face that did not match his age, said sincerely, and then said: "You go over, I will go back first."
"good."
Pei Donglai nodded, ended the conversation, passed Chen Ying, and walked towards Xiao Fei's tombstone.
There is a flower basket placed in front of the tombstone. The three incense sticks in front of the flower basket have not been burned out. The fragrant mist rises slowly, filling the front of the tombstone and shrouding Xiao Fei's photo on the tombstone.
This is the photo of Pei Donglai meeting Xiao Fei for the first time.
In the photo, Xiao Fei is dressed in military uniform, with strong facial lines and firm and confident eyes, which is almost consistent with the impression in Pei Donglai's soul.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I should have come to see you a long time ago."
Pei Donglai knelt down, placed the flowers next to the flower basket that Chen Ying had placed before, and said slowly: "But you also know that I am a stubborn person. If I promise you something and I can't do it, I will have no shame. meet you."
¡°Two years ago, when you chose to give up taking over my body and let me fuse your soul, you once said to me: Don¡¯t let me be proud of Dragon Ya, but Dragon Ya and even the entire Republic should be proud of me. "
While speaking, Pei Donglai slowly opened the suitcase. The heads of Odin, Stern, Phillips and Unali were placed in specially made bags and neatly placed in the suitcase.
He placed the suitcase in front of Xiao Fei's tombstone and said softly: "I'm glad that now?I have made it this far. As of now, everyone on the entire Divine Network is dead except for Odin whose death is unknown, and all the bases of the Divine Network around the world have been destroyed. These are the heads of the sons and daughters of the four great gods of the Divine Network. They are your murderers. Today, I use their heads to pay homage to you, hoping that you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs. "
After the words fell, Pei Donglai took out a lighter and lit the suitcase.
¡°Whether it is the suitcase or the bag containing the heads of Dixi and four others, or even the heads in the suitcase, they have been specially treated and can be easily burned.
The suitcase was ignited, and the flames burst out. As Pei Donglai watched, gunpowder smoke billowed, and the heads of Dixi and the suitcase were burned into a pile of dust.
"Brother Xiao, I always heard people say in the past that only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it. At that time, I was too young and too stupid to understand. Now that I think about it, it is indeed the case. Although I have reached the point where I am today, I don't know how to cherish it at all. I can¡¯t be happy either.¡±
Seeing the four heads of Di Xi turned into dust, Pei Donglai lit three cigarettes and inserted them in front of the tombstone. He also lit one and smoked gently, as if chatting with an old friend, softly telling his feelings.
"When I was young, Lame and I depended on each other. Because our family was poor, many people looked down on our father and son. At that time, I swore in my heart that I would study hard, get into the best university, find a good job, and help Lame live in a big city. Buy a big house, marry a beautiful wife, and let those who look down on our father and son open their eyes and take a good look.
Now, in the eyes of many people, I have made the country rise strongly. Greatly shortening the time to surpass the United States, I am a hero of the entire nation, and evenbecause I killed Dixi in the last battle and prevented him from destroying mankind, I became a hero of all mankind. "
Having said this, Pei Donglai looked up at the blue sky and couldn't help but speed up his smoking. The fingers holding the cigarette butt were trembling slightly. His tone was full of self-deprecation and sadness, "But you know what? I remember it the most. . It will always be in the mountains with the cripple. Every bit of life in the slums, not the situation where those who once made people look up to me turn to look up to me.
If the lame man can appear in front of me again, I am willing to give up the glory of this life, no matter if he lets me be an ordinary person or go back to the mountains to farm with him. I am willing to do so! "
"Hoo~"
??At the end. Pei Donglai was inevitably a little excited. Later, he let out a deep breath and said: "Brother Xiao, tomorrow is the Qingming Festival. I have to go back to the Northeast to visit the grave and erect a monument for the lame man. I plan to leave right now, so I won't tell you more. I'll see you another day. I¡¯ll come see you again with Brother Kuang.¡±
After the words fell, Pei Donglai stood up, stood in front of the tombstone, and bowed deeply to Xiao Fei three times.
¡¡
More than two hours later, Pei Donglai¡¯s special plane landed on time at Jiagedaqi Airport in the Greater Khingan Mountains.
There is a Land Rover Range Rover and a Dodge pickup truck with excellent off-road performance parked on the runway of the airport.
"Mr. Pei, the supplies for sweeping the tomb and the tombstone are ready, and they are in the pickup truck."
Maple Leaf, who arrived early, saw Pei Donglai and Qin Dongxue's four daughters getting off the plane. He quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Pei Donglai gently patted Maple Leaf on the shoulder and said, "I'll take them away in the Land Rover, and you can follow in the pickup truck."
"Yes, Mr. Pei."
Maple leaf bowed and accepted the order, quickly walking to the Dodge pickup truck that looked like a steel monster, while Pei Donglai got into the Range Rover and started the car after Qin Dongxue and the four girls entered the car.
Soon, the car drove out of the airport and headed towards the Pei family cemetery, hundreds of kilometers away from Jiagadaqi.
There was an aura of sadness in the car. Qin Dongxue and Ji Hong had solemn expressions, while Xia Yina and Mu Qingyan had slightly red eyes.
Unlike Qin Dongxue and Ji Hong, they have never seen Pei Wufu and will never see him again.
About an hour and a half later, Pei Donglai drove a Range Rover to a place not far from the Pei family cemetery.
In the beginning, Pei Donglai summoned many powerful Chinese martial arts experts to come here in the name of erecting a monument for Pei Wufu, and beheaded the dead members of the Korean Cui family. Pei Donglai was weeding the graves of the Pei family old man and Ye Wanqing. A pit was symbolically dug for Pei Wufu, but no monument was erected.
Today, he came with his four daughters. In addition to sweeping the grave, more importantly, he wanted to erect a monument for Pei Wufu!
The car stopped, and the four women got out of the car one after another and stood silently behind Pei Donglai. Pei Donglai glanced at the place where the Pei family¡¯s cemetery was. It was impossible to see clearly because the weeds were too dense and too high.
In this regard,Donglai withdrew his gaze and asked Maple Leaf to get the supplies needed for sweeping the grave first, and then led the four girls towards two inconspicuous dirt bags submerged in the grass.
Um?
After walking a few steps, Pei Donglai suddenly stopped and looked down at his feet.
"What's wrong?" Qin Dongxue asked quickly when she saw this.
"Someone has been here."
Pei Donglai narrowed his eyes slightly when he found that the grass under his feet showed slight traces of being stepped on.
Hearing Pei Donglai¡¯s words in shock, the expressions of Qin Dongxue and the others changed instantly!
Pei Donglai, on the other hand, immediately closed his eyes, gathered his mind, let himself enter a state of mindlessness, and used his breath to sense his surroundings.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Soon, Pei Donglai felt a vague aura where the Pei family's cemetery was. He opened his eyes and looked around.
next moment.
As Pei Donglai watched, a figure slowly stood up from the weeds.
Although they were hundreds of meters apart and blocked by weeds, Pei Donglai could still clearly see the appearance of that person!
That man had a scruffy beard and a silly smile!
¡°Buzz!!¡±
Seeing this scene in shock, Pei Donglai felt his head buzzing and completely lost his thinking. He just widened his eyes and stared at the familiar smiling face motionlessly, like a petrified human statue.
The four girls, Qin Dongxue, were originally a little nervous because Pei Donglai said someone had come. At this time, they found that Pei Donglai seemed to be stupid and looked ahead blankly. I felt a little confused at the moment.
While confused, they also cast their gaze forward.
"Uncle Pei?!"
Ji Hong's strength has basically been restored, and her eyesight is much stronger than that of Qin Dongxue and the other three. With just one glance, she saw Pei Wufu's honest smiling face, and she was stunned in shock!
"Well¡¡"
Hearing the words ¡®Uncle Pei¡¯ in shock, Qin Dongxue and the others felt a muffled thunder ringing in their ears, and were stunned.
Pei Donglai, on the other hand, felt like waking up from a dream, recovering from the shock.
"dad!!"
Earth-shaking shouts rang out, and Pei Donglai seemed to be crazy. He quickly ran towards the front. The terrifying speed brought up a burst of air, and all the weeds wherever it passed were shaken to pieces.
The breeze blew by, causing the weeds to sway back and forth. This allowed Pei Donglai to see the familiar figure and the honest smiling face more clearly.
One hundred meters. Eighty meters. Fifty meters
The distance between Pei Donglai and that figure keeps shrinkingand shrinking again!
In an instant, Pei Donglai was only ten meters away from Pei Wufu.
At this time, Pei Donglai suddenly stopped.
Yes.
He was like a high-speed car that suddenly stepped on the brakes. Stopped abruptly!
"DadDad, is that you?"
With the scorching sun in the sky, his eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling as he looked ahead at the figure that often appeared in his dreams and was sealed in his memory, and asked softly.
After the words fell, he couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes widened, his body tensed, and he didn't dare to move.
because.
He fears.
He was afraid that everything in front of him was an illusion.
He was afraid that Pei Wufu¡¯s figure would suddenly disappear!
He had already experienced it once on that cruise ship that day!
He doesn¡¯t want to experience it a second time!
Pei Donglai's soft inquiry rang in his ears. Looking at Pei Donglai's excited and nervous expression, Pei Wufu didn't say anything. He just nodded with a silly smile and took the initiative to walk towards Pei Donglai.
Seeing this scene, Pei Donglai's body seemed to have been restrained and unable to move.
He just quietly quietly watched Pei Wufu walking towards him, his vision blurred, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably, sliding down gently along his resolute face.
??A man doesn¡¯t shed tears easily.
¡°In the past two years, no matter what difficulties he faced, even in life and death, he never shed tears.
Not a drop of it!
Butat this moment, he was crying like a child.
Seeing Pei Donglai's face bursting with tears, Pei Wufu suddenly swayed and appeared in front of Pei Donglai. He stretched out his thick palm and tried to help Pei Donglai wipe away the tears on his face.
"dad!!"
Before Pei Wufu could touch Pei Donglai's face, Pei Donglai cried and threw himself into Pei Wufu's arms like a child who had been greatly wronged, hugging him very tightly very tightly!
Pei Wufu froze, letting Pei Donglai's tears wet his clothes, and patted Pei Donglai's back gently.
The picture freezes.
In the distance, Qin Dongxue¡¯s four daughters burst into tears when they saw this scene.
Although they didn¡¯t know why the man in front of him, who could make the world tremble by stomping his feet, deceived Pei Donglai, but they could feel the most profound love in the world through that man¡¯s expression and actions.
Father's love.
"When did you start crying?"
After a while, Pei Wufu saw Pei Donglai leaving his arms, looking at him with red eyes, retracting his hand, and asked with a smile.
"Hoo~"
Without answering, Pei Donglai first let out a deep sigh, then wiped away his tears, and glared at Pei Wufu angrily like a piqued child, "Cripple, don't you think you should say something?"
"Well¡¡"
Pei Wufu blushed and felt quite embarrassed. He pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want to know?"
"Why did you fake your death to lie to me?" Pei Donglai asked straight to the point.
"You should remember that I once asked you if you really wanted to stand out. You told me that you did, and the answer was categorical. It was precisely because of your words that I broke the promise I made to your mother and chose to go out. .¡±
Pei Wufu sighed softly and said: "In my opinion, a qualified father does not give his children everything he has, but does his best to provide the best platform for his children."
"And you have been stubborn and arrogant since you were young. You want to do your best in everything through your own efforts. So whether I didn't show up when you went south to the East China Sea at the beginning, or when I pretended to die in the battle of the God List, it was just for the sake of giving You provide a platform, or a stage for me to perform.¡±
Poor parents in the world.
Hearing Pei Wufu tell the reason, Pei Donglai felt warm in his heart. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
¡°When I saw your wonderful performances on the stage again and again, I was so excited that I couldn¡¯t sleep.¡±
Pei Wufu giggled again, feeling just like when he heard that Pei Donglai got an incredible score of 745 in the college entrance examination.
"Don't laugh!" Pei Donglai saw this and deliberately made a serious face. Question: "What exactly is going on in the Battle of the God List?"
"I have been living in seclusion for twenty years. When I come out again and accept Odin's challenge, it is inevitable that the powerful men from the God List will go to watch the battle. Because I know this, I simply take advantage of this opportunity. I will join forces with Salem to fake my death."
Pei Wufu was like a soldier receiving orders from his superiors. He quickly suppressed his smile. Tell the truth.
Pei Donglai was surprised: "Unite with Salem?"
"Um."
Pei Wufu nodded and said: "Twenty years ago, Salem secretly assassinated me. The assassination failed, but I did not kill him. In order to appreciate me and pursue martial arts, he chose to work for me. I will share my martial arts insights and experience with him. I gave it to him. After the news of my release came out, he contacted me immediately."
"According to your opinion, Salem is deliberately ambushing you there, sneaking up on you and giving Odin a chance to take action?" Pei Donglai immediately understood something.
Pei Wufu nodded.
"If I guess correctly, Salem is ranked third on the God List, and you taught him martial arts insights, his strength should not be weaker than Odin, so he was killed by Aunt Longpu after his 'Nirvana' The injuries are just fake." Pei Donglai analyzed again.
This time, Pei Wufu did not express his position, but because he heard that Long Bozuti's expression was slightly complicated.
"Cripple, did you kill Odin or Salem?" Pei Donglai asked again.
"In addition to Odin, there were also mad gods from the Madman tribe who died at the hands of Salem."
Pei Wufu was a little embarrassed and said: "After I faked my death, I have always stayed here with your grandfather and your mother, and I only left once."
"Is it the time I went to participate in the global special forces competition?"
Pei Donglai's heart moved, and he remembered the time when he made a breakthrough because of Pei Wufu's appearance.
"Well, I was going to save you at that time, but I found that you broke through, so" Pei Wufu explained, then touched his nose awkwardly and said no more.
Pei Donglai glared at Pei Wufu angrily: "Cripple! I want to challenge you to a duel!"
"Compared to that time, it was more dangerous for that little bastard Desi to seize the US nuclear weapons base."
Pei WuThe husband smiled, then showed a rare hint of fear and said: "This is my only oversight. Fortunately, that little brat hates you so much that he didn't do anything crazy immediately. Otherwise, I will be a sinner."
"It is destined. If that guy wants to destroy this world, he must be punished by God."
When Pei Donglai saw this, he couldn't help but expressed his condolences to Pei Wufu, and then said: "According to what you said, it should be Salem that was hidden on top of the nuclear weapons base that day."
¡°Well, originally I asked Salem to help you kill that little brat, but Salem found out that you had become ¡®Wushen¡¯ and reported it to me, and I asked him to evacuate.¡±
Pei Wufu looked at Pei Donglai with great satisfaction: "You have become 'Wushen' and are basically invincible. In addition, you have broken through the Gang Jin Dacheng. With the combination of "Pei Family Fist" and "Dragon Fist" you created With his pace and martial arts, it¡¯s easy to kill that little brat.¡±
"So you want me to be the hero who saves mankind?" Pei Donglai said with a black line.
"Absolutely Think about it, how proud it is that my son can be a hero for all mankind?" Pei Wufu stroked his messy beard very proudly.
""
Pei Donglai was about to cry but had no tears. After a while, something moved in his heart: "Cripple, I want to ask you something?"
"What?"
"What is your level of strength?" Pei Donglai blinked, full of curiosity.
Pei Wufu hesitated for a moment and said, "Breaking through Gang Jin, Dan Jin."
"Dan Jin?"
"Well, you will achieve it in the future."
"I will continue to practice only when I am full and strong."
Pei Donglai rolled his eyes, and then thought of something again. His heart felt like being scratched by a cat's paw, and he couldn't help but said: "Cripple, now, you should be number one on the god list, and Uncle Salem is number two." ¡¡±
"No, you are number one."
Before Pei Dong could rank the top ten on his list of gods, he was interrupted by Pei Wufu.
"What?"
"I ranked the list of gods."
Pei Wufu opened his mouth and showed his trademark silly smile.
The whole book is finished.
¡¡
¡¡
ps: As the chapter title says, the strong man ends here. After more than 400 nights of hard work and 2.51 million words, the story in my heart finally came to an end.
Thank you again, brothers and sisters, for your company and support along the way.
Finally, there is a postscript for the strong one. At the same time, I will also write a final statement and a new book explanation. It is too late tonight, so I will post it tomorrow.
