Add to basket克州城地处天罗帝国西北边境,为西都行省十二城之一,居民二十万户,此处再往西五百里,就是帝国镇守世界虚空边缘的神武要塞了。
在繁华的克州城的西北角,却有这么一片幽静的所在,从远处望去,宏伟的大门之外有两个威武士兵在此站岗守卫。
高墙之内是十多座楼宇亭台,楼宇间散布有花园,有凉亭,有草地,随处可见的老人们,或者闲聊,或者下棋,或者坐在长椅上,缅怀过往。
这里就是军老院,那些参军一辈子,为天罗帝国付出一切的军人,没有建立家族,没有后代,就都会在军老院中终老。
克州城四季如春,如此气候,适宜养老,又因为位于天罗帝国西北边境,西都行省十二城的老军人,都在此处养老。
别看这里只是一个小小的养老院,别看一位位老人都是老态龙钟,却不乏很多当年曾经叱咤风云、曾经让敌人闻风丧胆的先天强者。
但再坚强的血肉,也经不起岁月的侵蚀,如今的他们已经英雄迟暮,老迈不堪。
夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏。
面对未来或迟或早的死亡,身经百战的他们,现在看起来似乎已经与普通的老人家没有什么区别了,对日复一日波澜不惊的生活已经习惯而麻木。
而身上曾经的荣耀,肃杀的气息,在时间无情、无声无息却又永不停息的流淌中缓缓逝去。他们在此,或者享受最后的美好时光,或者沉浸在过去的记忆中。
在这一群白发苍苍的衰朽的老人当中,却有一个黑发少年!
少年大约只有十五六岁,身体有些偏瘦,眉清目秀,似乎没有什么特别之处,只是普普通通的邻家男孩,但是细细看来,他却总有一种难以言出的感觉。
他的眼神清澈而空灵,使你忍不住的想要注视他,注视他,不知不觉被他吸引。
少年正在煮茶,动作不缓不急,行云流水,已经到了煮茶最后阶段,将茶煎好,向盏中分汤花。
汤花说穿了就是茶煮出来的沫饽,也就是泡沫,不过这泡沫却是大有讲究,天罗帝国的茶道认为它们是茶中的精华,分茶的妙处在于分这些精华。
汤花或厚或薄,或重或浅,或浮或散,被少年巧妙地倒入盏中,浮浮沉沉、聚聚散散,给人以美感享受。投铛涌作沫,著碗聚生花,描述地就是分茶后,这种汤花荡漾作态的奇妙景致。
少年一共分出四盏香茶,然后看着对面的老者,说道:
"古爷爷,请喝茶,你看这次如何?"
对面的老者轻蔑的摇摇头,说道:
"不行,不行,宁小子,你还是差了三分功夫,这茶你煎的太急......"
已经深悟茶道三分精华的少年,被老者批评的一无是处,但是少年一点也不生气,不温不火,君子如玉。他知道这是老者的习惯,在他眼中没有一样事情合意,就是鸡蛋也可以挑出骨头。
老者名曰古天南,外号破晓神剑,先天强者,原为神武要塞的军备长。
据说古天南虽然出身豪门,但是他不近人情,说话刻薄,毫不留情,一生一个朋友都没有。
老了之后,变得十分的孤僻,稍有不对,张嘴就骂,伸手就打,其他的老军人也不愿意和他来往,没有人愿意搭理他。军老院中的护工和医师,都被他得罪光了,没有护工愿意照顾他。
方宁在此曾经也被骂过打过,但是他就是一笑而已,所以他就成了古天南的护工,那怕古天南再乖张孤僻,再刻薄的嘲讽他,方宁只是轻轻笑笑,毫不在意......
