Chapter 856 Pine and Cypress·Hongzhuang ③

The next morning, half past five.

"Dong dong dong~" There was just a knock on the door of Room 107 of the teacher's apartment, and the apartment door was opened.

Zhao Tang immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at the person who opened the door. For a moment, he was stunned on the spot.

Not only Zhao Tang was stunned, but also the banana plums and pomegranates behind were a little confused.

Because the person who opened the door was not Rong Taotao, but the number one soul general outside the pass!

Good guy~

Rong Taotao, can you do that? Are you not rushing to open the door because you have no idea?

Moreover, Mr. Soul General is still dressed in home clothes, a white cashmere jacket and white casual trousers, which is completely different from the resolute Soul General in the textbook.

When Xu Fenghua returned, he happened to catch up with the little souls who were on an overseas expedition. This was the first time Xu Fenghua met his son's classmates.

"Gudu." Zhao Tang's Adam's apple squirmed and he took a step back, looking very unpromising, "General Xu Xuhun."

"Salute, salute." Jiao Tenda was still sensible and reacted very quickly. He hurriedly lowered his voice and whispered, "Call the chief."

Immediately, all the little souls hurriedly stood up.

Xu Fenghua smiled and said, "No need, everyone come in."

With that said, she turned and walked into the house, leaving the children at the door who were at a loss.

Shi Lan whispered: "Come in? I think it's better to be obedient, what do you think?"

Zhao Tang: "Yeah"

Jiao Tenda rolled his eyes: "It's not good to disturb so many people. Let's choose two to go in. Lu Mang, take Shi Lan in."

Lu Mang:? ? ?

Shi Lan opened her eyes wide: "Why?"

Jiao Tenda pushed the two of them inside, muttering: "You two are good-looking and lovable. Call Taotao out quickly, we will wait for you outside."

As the two were pushed into the door, Zhao Tang also carefully closed the door. Looking back, he found that several people were in shock.

Li Ziyi murmured in a low voice: "Ms. Xu is not as scary as expected? She looks very kind."

Shilou had been in and out of the vortex. Compared to other little souls, she had met Xu Fenghua before. She responded in a low voice: "General Xu Hun has already deliberately restrained his momentum."

Jiao Tengda grinned and looked at Li Ziyi with disdain: "This is the soul warrior who shocked the dragon clan in the Snow Realm. If I really glare at you, do you think you can still live?"

Unexpectedly, Li Zi, who was always sour, nodded obediently this time: "That's right, tsk. Taotao is really miserable. I'm afraid you can't even breathe at home, right?"

"Keep your voice down."

At this moment, Rong Taotao, who was said to be "unafraid to breathe", was snoring and eating noodles in the kitchen, making more noise than anyone else!

Seeing Little Mango and Little Pomegranate come in, Rong Taotao stood at the door of the kitchen holding a bowl and waved his chopsticks at them: "Have you eaten?"

Lu Mang and Shi Lan nodded repeatedly: "It's time for us to set off to Songbai Town."

"Hmm." Rong Taotao stepped aside to let the door open and said vaguely, "You really don't want to eat it? There is no shop like this after passing this village. The noodles are made by Master Hunjiang himself."

Xu Fenghua smiled and glanced at Rong Taotao: "Eat quickly, don't delay the business."

"Gudugudu." Rong Taotao drank up the noodle soup and put the big bowl on the table, "Okay, I'll pick up Aunt Hong now. Let's meet at noon~"

Rong Taotao set off in a hurry, picked up his coat, and pushed the two of them out the door as Mango, Pomegranate and Master Soul said goodbye.

"Ouch~" Rong Taotao was stunned as soon as he went out!

The little souls outside the door are all wearing purple-red coats!

If Rong Taotao wears it by himself, it may look like a cross talk actor, but if the little souls wear it together, it will not match the cross talk actor.

The little souls present are all top-notch among men, and their temperament as a warrior is fully displayed.

Wearing this noble silk and satin gown, he looks like a young master from various sects in ancient China.

"Stop it, hurry up, hurry up, Xiao Jiao is waiting for us."

In the apartment kitchen, Xu Fenghua got up and came to the window.

After a while, she saw the children walking out of the apartment door and leaving noisily, and a smile appeared on her face.

This ordinary scene was something she had never experienced before.

Until the children disappeared from sight, she paused for a while, then returned to the dining table and served herself a bowl of noodles.

However, as soon as the noodles entered his mouth, Xu Fenghua pursed his lips and put the bowl on the table, with a helpless smile on his face.

It's so salty, no wonder he eats it so deliciously.

At the same time, at the school gate.

The wedding team finally reunited, and the quality exploded!

Smoking and drinking in summer and winter, plus 7 little souls!

But the busy staff were so happy, especially those carrying cameras, that they almost had the camera in a few people's faces!

There are a total of 11 people in the wedding team, and if anyone is picked out at random, they are all responsible persons.

The worst is to be the third runner-up in the world

"What are you doing?" Li Ziyi, the world's third runner-up, looked at Rong Taotao with a puzzled expression. Rong Taotao summoned a handful of frost and snow and stuffed it into his mouth.

Rong Taotao immediately replied: "I'm thirsty, why don't you let me?"

"Eh?" Shi Lan's eyes widened and she asked doubtfully, "I just saw you drinking all the noodle soup. It was so gurgling. Why are you thirsty again?"

Rong Taotao rolled his eyes angrily: "Don't ask about social affairs!"

Shi Lan pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Oh."

"Stop chatting and let's go." Having Li Lie as the best man was indeed the best choice. If Xia Fangran was the best man, he might join the battle group and start the laning mode.

A group of people sat on the Snow Night Terror, and it was obvious that the specially invited camera team also had two brushes, and they all summoned their own Snow Night Terror, which inevitably made Rong Taotao look at it a few more times.

Come to think of it, if you dare to accept a wedding ceremony in the northern snow, you are shivering from the cold, how can you carry a camera?

"Set off!"

"Let's go!"

As the troops set off, Rong Taotao, the only one without a horse, sat behind Li Ziyi, imitating Si Huanian's example and riding a donkey backwards, using the sour plum as a humanoid sofa.

Only then did Rong Taotao realize that Dong Dongdong had not followed. At the school gate, he was leading the students on duty to light firecrackers.

"Pah~pah~!"

"Crackling."

Everyone turned to look, and amidst the bursts of firecrackers, Dong Dongdong was smiling broadly, covering his ears symbolically with one hand, and waving to everyone with the other.

The sky is clear and blue.

The rays of the morning sun shone on the wedding team, and also fell on Xiao Ziru's cheerful face.

This silent man, due to his special experience and personality, is usually very low-key and terrifying.

There was rarely such a high-spirited expression on that weathered face.

Rong Taotao spent most of the fifty kilometers journey looking at Xiao Ziru's figure.

For Xiao Ziru, today is a happy day. As for Rong Taotao, his happiness is no less than that.

He was a witness to this story and witnessed the entire joy and sorrow.

In the pine forest under the setting sun, he and the woman in red shared their joys and sorrows.

In the snowy field at night, he narrowly escaped death from the hands of savages.

On the rooftop of a residential building, he spent two New Year's Eves with a touch of red makeup.

In the snow forest outside Wan'an Pass, he finally tore into pieces the enchanting frost beauty and dragged the lost warrior back to the world.

The evaluation of the snow realm soul warriors will never go out of style: all those who come to the snow realm are people of faith.

The story of red and smoke undoubtedly makes Rong Taotao's life more meaningful.

When Xu Fenghua's return was still far away, it was the gathering of red and smoke that made Rong Taotao's steps firmer and his faith more perfect in the dark and difficult years.

If Red Smoke’s story can be this beautiful, then why can’t my story be?

As it turns out, he can.

When Rong Taotao, who was deep in thought, came to his senses again, the team had already arrived at the checkpoint at Songbai Town.

One of the staff members said: "It doesn't take too many people to worship ancestors."

Li Lie glanced at Xiao Ziru and said, "I have discussed it with Lao Xiao, and you don't need to take pictures of the ancestor worship. I will accompany Lao Xiao, and the others will go to the community and wait."

Xiao Ziru suddenly said: "Taotao."

Rong Taotao: "Eh?"

Xiao Ziru: "Together."

Rong Taotao nodded in confusion: "Oh."

Regardless of whether it complies with the shooting process or not, the shooting team did not dare to say anything when these group of soul martial masters spoke.

After entering the city, there was no need for the group to divide into two groups. After all, the location of Xiao Ziru's father's monument and Chen Hongshang's residence were both near Songbai Town Hunwu High School.

Just when passing by the community, Rong Taotao rose and fell lightly, finally let go of Li Ziyi, and got on Li Lie's horse.

On the hill park north of Songbai Town Hunwu High School, the Monument to the Unknown Heroes stands tall.

The three of them rode quickly through the park, came to the stairs, and dismounted one after another.

There are 303 steps here, Rong Taotao remembers them clearly. After all, Da Wei once said that she spent countless nights jumping here during high school.

Xiao Ziru stepped onto the first step and suddenly said, "Hongshang said you met her here."

Rong Taotao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Lie who was silent, and then responded: "Ah, it's Aunt Hong whom I met here."

Xiao Ziru stepped up the steps and looked at the monument above: "You know who is being commemorated here."

"Yeah" Rong Taotao pursed his lips and said softly, "Dawei told me that it was your father Xiao Li, the founder of Songbai Zhenhunwu High School."

Xiao Ziru: "What else do you know?"

Rong Taotao: "Principal Xiao pushed against all opinions and pushed the high school dozens of kilometers north under extremely harsh snow conditions to create the No. 1 Hunwu High School."

"anything else?"

Rong Taotao: "Well, it is said that the old man died in the school hospital."

Rarely, Xiao Ziru opened up the conversation.

He said: "The monument is built here. The original intention is to let him watch the children who grow up from generation to generation walk out of the campus he created with his own hands, go to various positions, and become the backbone of the northern snow realm."

Rong Taotao: "Yeah"

Xiao Ziru suddenly smiled and looked at Rong Taotao: "But I didn't want him to see Hongshang waiting here day after day."

After hearing these words, Rong Taotao was a little confused.

Xiao Ziru was laughing at himself, but Rong Taotao didn't know how to respond or comfort him.

Xiao Ziru stopped talking, and Rong Taotao didn't speak again.

On level 303, the atmosphere is more peaceful than the first level.

It wasn't until the three of them boarded the platform and stood in front of the towering monument, looking up at the word "hero" that Rong Taotao felt much calmer and put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart.

The trio stood quietly like this. After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ziru said softly: "Where did you see her?"

"Over there." Rong Taotao said, pointing to the right and moving sideways, "The pine trees over there."

Before he finished speaking, Rong Taotao stopped.

When he moved sideways, there was no longer a monument blocking his sight, and he saw a red figure in the pine forest!

For a moment, Rong Taotao almost thought he was dazzled.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked up again. The red figure was still there, but

Compared to the red figure last time, this time the woman was dressed so gorgeously.

The dragon and phoenix gown is made of gold and red, with golden images of dragon and phoenix coiled around it, making it graceful, noble, gorgeous and moving.

The long skirt was a fiery red color, covered with a thin layer of snow on that side, and spread all the way to the surrounding pine and cypress trees.

Xia Pei was so gorgeous, but Rong Taotao was not lucky enough to see the phoenix crown because the woman had a red cloth hijab on her head.

This time, what was reflected on her body and in this pine forest was no longer the afterglow of the setting sun.

But the rays of the rising sun.

The deep red in Rong Taotao's memory finally turned into a beautiful fiery red.

She just stood there quietly, motionless like she did a few years ago, waiting for that person to pick her up.

"This" Rong Taotao hesitated for a moment. It was his first time attending a wedding and he didn't know whether Chinese weddings included ancestor worship, but he knew that the bride should not be here, but should be at home.

Suddenly, Rong Taotao felt his hand being picked up by a cold palm.

Turning around, he saw Gao Lingwei's side face. The side face with a slight smile looked so beautiful under the sunlight.

Rong Taotao:? ? ?

Where did the big pillow come from?

In confusion, Rong Taotao not only saw the big pillow, but also Si Huanian, who was wearing a cheongsam and smiling in his eyes not far away.

Gao Lingwei gently shook Rong Taotao's hand and whispered: "Aunt Hong said that she was still in this pine forest, and she asked Teacher Xiao to pick her up under the witness of Mr. Xiao."

Rong Taotao raised his head and looked at the towering monument to heroes, feeling a little relieved.

Indeed, if Xiao Ziru picks up Aunt Hong right here, his father will feel at ease.

"Pah!" A generous hand patted Rong Taotao's shoulder and shook it hard.

Xiao Ziru didn't speak, but the meaning was self-evident.

Rong Taotao, who was specially invited here, is the most important person for the reunion of Yanhong and Hong.

Under the witness of this memorial to Father Xiao, under the gaze of several people

Xiao Ziru was dressed in a big red robe, bathed in the glow, and walked step by step towards the red makeup that was waiting quietly in the pine trees.
