Huang Rong's death shook the entire rivers and lakes, but in this turbulent news, Jin Yong's Guo Fu seemed to have disappeared into the dust of history. Is she gone? In Hong Qigong's words, perhaps we can find the answer.
It was a turbulent era, and the whole river and lake were saddened by Huang Rong's heroic death. People talk about her deeds, but rarely mention her daughter, Guo Fu. In the context of this turbulent era, Guo Fu's figure seems to have been deliberately concealed, and her story has become an unsolved mystery.
1. The parting of Xiangyang City.
At the end of the story of "The Condor Heroes", the marriage of Guo Fu and Yeluqi did draw a new starting point for the fate of the two. In Xiangyang City, on a sunny day, Guo Fu stood on the city wall, looking through the busy streets, past the hustle and bustle of the city, and looking at the clouds in the sky. Dressed in a gorgeous garment, she caressed the stone bricks on the city walls in her hands, as if touching the history and memory of the city.
At the foot, the citizens of Xiangyang City are busy, and the cries of vendors and the laughter of children constitute a vivid picture. The guards on the city walls patrolled and patrolled, occasionally casting admiring glances. Guo Fu's father Guo Jing and mother Huang Rong, as the guardians of Xiangyang, have become legends in the city, and she is about to start a new chapter in her life.
Jeluqi, the new leader of the beggars, stood on the other side of the wall, his gaze equally looking into the distance. He wears the traditional costume of the beggars, wears a hat on his head, and holds the iconic ** of the beggars. As the leader of the gang, he naturally exudes a majesty and self-confidence that cannot be ignored.
Although there was no verbal communication between the two, their eyes met in the air, as if they were silently conveying their future vows and expectations. The surrounding beggars, some standing behind Yeluqi and some patrolling under the city walls, provided solid support and protection for the couple.
Guo Fu then turned around and descended the city wall and stepped on the stone steps leading to the city gate. Her steps are firm, and every step seems calm and graceful. In front of the city gate, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were waiting for her. They had mixed expressions on their faces, including blessings for their daughter's future happy life, as well as reluctance and worry when parting.
Guo Fu walked in front of her parents, Guo Jing raised her hand to caress her daughter's hair, Huang Rong held her hand, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, but the emotion in their eyes was enough to express everything. At this moment, Guo Fu is no longer the willful little girl, but a mature woman who is about to welcome a new life.
Yeluqi stepped forward and saluted Guo Jing and Huang Rong. His movements are solemn and respectful, showing his respect for the Guo Fu family and the importance he attaches to his upcoming marriage. Guo Jing nodded, expressing acquiescence and blessings, while Huang Rong had tears in her eyes and looked a little reluctant.
2. The secret mission of Peach Blossom Island.
After Guo Fu left Xiangyang City, he went straight to Peach Blossom Island. Huang Rong stood on the edge of the dock, watching her daughter's boat gradually disappear into the distance of the sea and sky. On the boat, Guo Fu held an important object handed over to her by her mother - a precious Wu Mu suicide note. This suicide note is of immeasurable value to Wulin.
When Guo Fu arrived at Peach Blossom Island, the flowers on the island were blooming like the sea, and the birds were singing and fragrant. She didn't stop and went straight to a secret cave on the island. This cave is hidden in a dense forest, and if Huang Rong does not tell it personally, even the residents of Peach Blossom Island will find it difficult to detect its existence.
Before entering the cave, Guo Fu looked around to make sure that no one was following. The entrance to the cave is shaded by vines and wildflowers, with only a narrow path leading inside. She stooped over the vines hanging from the entrance of the cave and cautiously entered the cave.
The interior of the cave is dim and damp, with only a few rays of light coming through a crack in the top. Guo Fu lit the fire fold she carried with her, and the dim light of the fire illuminated her face. The Wu Mu suicide note in her hand was regarded as a treasure by her, and every step seemed extremely careful.
Walking into the depths of the cave, Guo Fu found a small naturally formed cave, which was the place where Huang Rong told her to hide books. She whispered, "No one should be able to find it here." ”
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the light of the fire flickered. Guo Fu looked around nervously, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, she put Wu Mu's suicide note into the small cave. Once the suicide note was placed, she covered the entrance with rocks and dead branches in the cave.
She stood up and said to the depths of the cave: "Wu Mu's suicide note, today I Guo Fu will temporarily guard it, I hope that in the future, someone who is destined to use it can benefit Wulin." ”
After completing the task of collecting books, Guo Fu quickly left the cave. Out of the cave, she took a deep breath of fresh air and felt the gentle breeze and warm sun on the island.
3. A new life on the shore of Dongting Lake.
After completing an important mission on Peach Blossom Island, Guo Fu and Yeluqi embark on a journey to the helm of the beggar gang. Located in Yuezhou, on the shore of the beautiful Dongting Lake, the Beggar Gang is completely different from Xiangyang and Taohua Island, where it has a unique atmosphere of rivers and lakes and the traditional culture of the Beggar Gang.
Guo Fu and Yeluqi rode their horses along the rugged mountain road. The mountains on both sides are cascading, and the sparkling waves of Dongting Lake in the distance shine silver in the sunlight. Halfway through, Jeluqi stopped his horse, pointed to a compound in the distance, and said, "That's where the beggars' helm is." ”
Guo Fu then stopped, his eyes falling on the compound. The architecture of the beggars' rudder is simple and solemn, blending in with the surrounding natural environment, showing the unique style of the beggars.
Entering the helm of the beggar gang, the two were warmly welcomed. The ** members of the beggar gang gathered in the compound, saluted Yeluqi one after another, and paid tribute to Guo Fu. Yeluqi returned the salute, while Guo Fu nodded gracefully.
At the helm of the beggar gang, Guo Fu's identity has changed to the wife of the gang leader, and she needs to adapt to the lifestyle and rules of the beggar gang. The beggars are curious about her, but at the same time show respect. Although Guo Fu was born in a famous family, she quickly showed her ability to adapt to the new environment and get along with the beggars.
One day, the beggars held an internal martial arts competition. Guo Fu and Yeluqi sat on the rostrum, ** competing. In the competition, the beggars showed their respective martial arts, some of them were outstanding, and some of them had unique moves. Guo Fu watched with relish, occasionally exchanging opinions with Yeluqi.
After the competition, a young beggar gang ** stepped forward and said to Guo Fu respectfully: "Mrs. Gang Master, I wonder if you also have stunts to teach us?" ”
Guo Fu smiled and shook his head, and replied, "Although I have learned some martial arts, there is still a big gap compared to you. ”
Yeluqi interjected: "Although Mrs. Guo is modest, her archery skills are very good, and the opportunity will definitely open your eyes. ”
In the daily life of the beggars, Guo Fu not only participated in the activities of the beggars, but also gradually learned how to maintain her position in the complex relationship between the rivers and lakes. She often dealt with the affairs of the beggars with Yeluqi, and gradually, she also won the respect and trust of the beggars.
Fourth, the birth of Yelu Yuanru.
Early one morning at the helm of the beggar gang, Guo Fu gave birth to her and Yeluqi's son, named Yelu Yuanru. The birth of Yelu Yuanru in the beggar gang caused great joy. This newborn child not only symbolizes the union of the two families, but is also regarded as the hope of the future beggar gang leader.
The reason why it is so concluded that Yelu Yuan is the future leader of the beggar gang comes from a description in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". In this work, the six bags of the beggars' ** have committed despicable acts, which is incomprehensible. After all, the beggar gang has always been known for acting benevolently and righteously, and their gang leader, Yelu Yuanru, is an excellent friend of his master brother Song Yuanqiao, which makes things even more mysterious.
It is worth mentioning that the two leaders of the beggar gang are both named Yelu Yuanru, and this surname is unique, which makes people wonder if there is something hidden. In fact, according to Hong Qigong's description in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he mentioned that on July 15 this year, the four elders of the beggar gang and the leaders of various factions will meet in Yuezhou on the shore of Dongting Lake in order to elect a new gang leader. And the candidate who holds the bamboo stick will naturally become the heir in the hearts of the brothers.
Hong Qigong's words and Guo Fu's behavior echo each other, which is enough to show that after the destruction of Xiangyang City, Guo Fu's life is very good, so it doesn't matter if Jin Yong mentions her or not.
Looking back at the situation, in the hall of the helmsman, Yeluqi held a grand celebration. The ** members of the beggar gang came to congratulate one after another, and they brought a variety of gifts, from precious herbs to exquisite small toys, each of which represents the blessing of the newborn and the expectation of the future helper.
Yeluqi stood in the hall, holding his son in his hand, and announced to all the beggars: "Today, Yeluqi, the son of Yeluqi and Guo Fu, was born, and I hope that he will inherit the spirit of the beggars and become a wise leader in the future." ”
Then, Guo Fu walked out of the room with Yelu Yuanru in his arms, and nodded to everyone present with a smile and thanked him. Her eyes are full of the tenderness of maternal love and the expectation of her son's future growth. At this moment, she is undoubtedly the most tender and beautiful mother in everyone's eyes.
In the process of Yelu Yuanru's growth, Guo Fu and Yelu Qi jointly took on the responsibility of educating him. They took good care of the child and created a loving and caring environment for him to grow up in. As a mother, Guo Fu used her love and wisdom to teach Yelu Yuanru the tradition and culture of the family, so that he could deeply understand his roots.
In order to allow Yelu Yuanru to better inherit the family culture, Guo Fu often told him the story of her parents Guo Jing and Huang Rong, as well as their heroic deeds in Xiangyang City. She hopes that her son will draw wisdom and strength from these legends and carry forward the family's fine traditions.
And Yelu Yuanru did not disappoint them, not only successfully took over the position of the leader of the beggar gang, but also got in touch with Wudang and other famous factions and became good friends.
