Chapter 55: The Past
All of this happened so quickly that by the time Luo Banxia wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
"Village Chief, you ...... You killed him, how can we find the traces of Kuzen?"
The black yarn moved slightly, glanced at Luo Banxia, and said quietly: "Don't worry, I have my own way, just wait a while." ”
Before Luo Banxia could say something, suddenly the wind was loud, and Yun'e Ziyuan and others were coming here in the distance.
They searched around the area, and the others heard the commotion and rushed to it. A moment later, all five people in the search group had arrived, standing next to Tu Lu's corpse.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Zi Yuan said slowly: "Then what about this guy's corpse, just leave it here?"
Cang Erzi said indignantly: "This alien demon is innocent of death, Senior Sister Ziyuan doesn't have to care." ”
Jiang Li glanced at everyone and said lightly: "This is the end of the matter, everyone follow me back to Wengcao Village to rest for a while, and pursue the dry Zen matter, and there will be results in these days." ”
Everyone was slightly surprised, and they didn't know how Jiangli did it, but since she had explained it like this, everyone didn't want to ask too much. So everyone nodded, and returned to Weng Cao Village, leaving only the mess everywhere and the corpses that gradually cooled down in the wind.
After returning to Weng Cao Village, Jiang Li arranged for everyone to live in the previous wing. Everyone was happy to finally have a place to rest and recuperate, and no longer have to sleep in the cave. It's just that in addition to being happy, I can't help but feel sentimental, originally a group of ten people came here, and at this time there were already two adjacent houses became empty, and it was only a short time before and after, which made people sigh.
After everyone discussed together, they also decided to settle down temporarily, firstly, for Guangbai to better heal his injuries, and secondly, since there was a way to find Kuzen in Jianglishuo, everyone also waited for good news. During this period of time, this is the most relaxing time for everyone, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, and there is also a different scene.
————————————————————————
The night breeze gently stirred the treetops, making a salsa sound, and occasionally a few leaves swirled and fell, showing the silence of the night, but also with a hint of late summer.
The ground is full of bright red flowers, which exude a charming fragrance and bloom especially brilliantly at night. The moonlight is like water, sprinkled with oceans, and the surrounding light is as bright as day. In the night, in the soft moonlight, this sea of red flowers looks dreamlike, giving people a sense of unreality. The red color of the land and the white of the moonlight complement each other, forming a beautiful mountain scene.
The courtyard was spotless, and there were traces of neatly groomed everywhere, apparently someone had cleaned it regularly. At this time, in a dark corner of the courtyard, the melodious and crisp singing voice came slowly, the sound was like a silver bell shaking, melodious and moving, and the melody sung was also warm and delicate, which was intoxicating to listen to. Time seems to stand still at this moment, just like countless days and nights have been done, what kind of thoughts and sustenance can this pounding heart carry?
Jiang Li squatted on the ground and hummed softly, showing tenderness in his expression. Although it was no one, she still wore the hat of the black veil, covering her entire face. Before leaving, there was the wooden rocking chair, on which lay a middle-aged man, with a serene face and a smile on his lips. The rocking chair shook slightly, but the man seemed to be asleep, without any movement or reaction, just rising and falling with the chair, blending into the long night.
After humming for more than a quarter of an hour, he slowly stopped leaving. In front of this man, she seems to be a different person, and the whole person exudes a gentle and tactful temperament, which is completely different from the vigorous and resolute personality on weekdays.
Everyone may have a side that he doesn't know about, but I don't know under what circumstances, what kind of person will you show your most vulnerable side to?
After a while, Jiang Li slowly got up and walked to the center of the courtyard. Bathed in the moonlight, she changed back to her usual appearance, and her temperament became decisive and resolute. Stand for a moment, only to hear her faint voice sound: "Come out, I know you are there." ”
As her words fell, a person slowly walked out of the darkness. The man was dressed in white and robed, with a handsome demeanor, giving people a sense of freedom and elegance, it was Luo Banxia. I saw Luo Banxia approaching and bowed his hand and said, "Visiting late at night, there are many disturbances, please don't be surprised by the village chief." ”
Jiang Li hummed, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger. She turned around and said lightly: "I've been disturbed, polite words will be waived, please say anything else." ”
Luo Banxia snorted, defused the embarrassing atmosphere, pondered for a moment, and then said quietly: "I have a few questions, I want to ask the village chief." ”
The black yarn moved slightly, and said lightly: "Actually, if you don't say it, I know what you want to ask, it's okay, if you have any questions, just mention it." ”
Luo Banxia's expression was solemn, and he was no longer polite, and went straight to the point. Said slowly: "The first question of the juniors is to ask the village chief, the village chief is unwilling to tell, the magic used to make zombies that day is the secret art of the alien?"
"That's right. Jiang Li said quietly.
"So the identity of the village chief is an alien?"
"That's right. ”
Luo Banxia took a deep breath and said lightly: "The second question of the juniors is, I don't know what is the relationship between the village chief and the national teacher of the southern foreign country, Kuzen?"
The body moved slightly, but his voice was still calm: "Kuzen, twenty years ago, he was my father-in-law. ”
Luo Banxia was surprised, "Then ...... now"
"I have long since severed contact with him, and I have nothing to do with him, not to mention now, twenty years ago. ”
"I don't know why the village chief wants to leave the southern foreign country and settle in this hidden village?"
"Why? Jiang Li suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a very funny joke. After half a ring, I saw her slowly take off the gauze hat on her head, and said lightly: "Do you really want to know? ”
In the courtyard, in the moonlight, he left his body gracefully, and his black hair and shawl hung down. The hazy moonlight lingered on her gentle curves, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world. It's just that as she slowly turned around, Luo Banxia's expression gradually turned shocked, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
On that gentle and moving body, it turned out to be a hideous and terrifying face covered with scars!
I saw that there was almost no intact skin on Jiang Li's face, and the whole face was destroyed, which shows what kind of pain she experienced at that time. Judging from the look and posture of the future, she should have been a beautiful and moving woman, and for a woman, the importance of appearance is self-evident.
Jiang Li's eyes were still clear, and the color of her eyes was a light blue unique to Inhuman, and she didn't seem surprised when she looked at Luo Banxia, and only said lightly: "That's why I'm wearing a hat." You're the first person in so many years to see me in person. ”
Luo Banxia calmed down and said apologetically: "Offended." ”
"It doesn't matter. Jiang Li waved his hand, "It's just a pair of skins." ”
Luo Banxia showed a look of appreciation on her face, there are really few women in the world who can be as open-minded as they will be.
"Then the village chief used to be one of the three protectors of the Southern Exotic Country. ”
"The Survivor ...... I haven't used this name for a long time, and now my name is Jiangli, just like this flower. As he spoke, he pointed to the red flowers on the ground, looking lonely.
"The younger generation knows that it is really wrong to evoke the unpleasant memories of the village chief, but it is just about the revenge of the younger generation, so the younger generation still wants to know how the village chief can find the traces of dry Zen. ”
"You're worried that if I still have an entanglement with Kuzen, I'll run away with him. ”
Luo Banxia's face turned red and he didn't speak.
"Don't worry, no matter what you do to him, it has nothing to do with me, I am not the same person as him. After a pause, she added: "Actually, the spell you saw I cast on those zombies a few days ago is the unique tracking technique among our Inhumans, and those summoned little bugs can sense the energy fluctuations of Inhumans casting, so as to trace the source of the caster. Since these zombies are envoys of Kuzen, there must be traces of his residual energy in their bodies, so they can trace him according to these traces. ”
Luo Banxia nodded, and his hanging heart was slightly relaxed. Jiang Li sighed low and said, "Are there any other questions?" Luo Banxia waved his hand, "It's gone." ”
Jiang Li closed her eyes and opened them again, and slowly walked back to the rocking chair, facing the man in the rocking chair, her expression softened again for a moment.
Luo Banxia slowly followed, glanced at the man's situation, and asked softly: "Senior, I don't know what the situation of this brother is, but is there a place where the junior can help?"
Jiang Li smiled helplessly and said, "It's useless, you can't help, he's been dead for many years." ”
"What?!" Luo Banxia exclaimed.
"The reason why his body is intact is because I used a special secret method to keep his body alive, but in fact it is only a soulless shell. Speaking quietly, there was a sadness in his voice that could not be concealed.
Luo Banxia felt the same way, and also felt a sense of sadness coming from the bottom of his heart, and comforted him: "People can't be resurrected after death, seniors, please mourn more." ”
Distorted the scars on his face, as if his mood was also stirred, "I should mourn?
"I've wanted to bury him countless times, but he's the only thing I've had in this life, and seeing him every day makes me feel like I'm alive, and if I don't see him one day, I don't know how to go on with this life. ”
Luo Banxia didn't speak, just stood silently behind Jiangli.
Jiangli slowly got up and looked into the distance. As far as the eye can see, I have passed through the lush branches and leaves of the trees, through the high walls of the houses in Weng Cao Village, through the ancient time, and through the deep memories.
"You...... Want to hear my story?"
Luo Banxia was a little stunned, but after a while, he still nodded.
The voice became far away, and the look on her face seemed to change back to a green girl in an instant, as if this was what she was.
"His name is Liu Fanping, and he is my husband. I met him twenty years ago......"
