Chapter 110: Settlement
Facing the old man's inquiry, Tian Wai nodded helplessly, he didn't expect the old village chief to show such a shocked expression when he heard the news of Ling Lao. Until now, the old village chief's expression still did not ease, and he looked at the sky crying in a trance.
"The old man has lost his temper, and let the son see the joke. The old village chief carefully wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and in front of everyone, he didn't control his emotions just now.
"I want to erect a mound for Ling Lao here and bury it next to the wind chimes. ”
"Understood, Childe, please come with me......" After learning the news of Elder Ling, the village chief did not have the same attitude of scrutinizing Tianwee as before, and spoke better. After saying this, he walked in the direction of the back mountain, and at the same time turned to the people around him and said, "What should you do, don't look at the excitement here, there's nothing to see." ”
Hearing that Tianwee was here to bury the deceased, everyone naturally felt that they were happy, after all, this kind of thing is indeed nothing to be curious about. The crowd that had gradually dispersed returned to normal in front of the village chief's house.
And Tian Wai and the others had already followed the village chief towards the back mountain. Several female dependents followed behind Tian Weeping, and Murong Jin and the others walked last. Along the way, the number of people living in it gradually decreased, after all, they had begun to move away from the village, until they reached an inaccessible place, which was the top of this nameless mountain, and the nearest house was also on the mountainside, quite secluded.
In front of everyone's eyes, a small tombstone also appeared. Ling Xiao's deceased wife - the tomb of Ling Feng's Ling'er.
Looking at the words on it, the corners of Tianwee's eyes suddenly became a little sour. The mausoleum of the bloody clothes who was loyal to the heavenly family all his life, died on the battlefield for the mainland, and whose reputation shocked the world, and the mausoleum of his wife, turned out to be just such a despicable lonely tomb. Looking at the name on the tombstone, even if he has never seen a wind chime, Tianwai seems to be able to feel the tranquility and elegance of this woman. It is a kind of quiet waiting, but it can move the world to grow old.
The village chief stood aside, not disturbing Tianqi and the others, or rather, his gaze stayed on the tombstone, revealing a look of nostalgia. "This is her tombstone. ”
Tianwai stood in front of him for a long time, but he didn't go up to disturb him. Even a few children with a detached temperament are standing behind Tianwee with solemn expressions at this moment, quietly looking at this lonely tomb, and their hearts are as shocked as Tianwee. They knew Elder Ling, and they knew better than anyone else about that old man's strength and reputation. That's why I feel so shocked at this moment.
Dust off the tombstones and remove weeds from the graves. And some loose dirt was re-piled.
"Yao'er, come here. Tian Wai said, and Yue Yao'er hurriedly responded to Tian Wai's side. "Xue'er and Sister Su Qing also came over. ”
Tianwai took the lead in kneeling in front of the tomb of the wind chime, Tianwai looked at Yue Yao'er, she also knelt in front of the tomb of the wind chime, and then Xue'er and Suqing, both knelt down one after another.
The wind chimes are also regarded as their elders, and they slowly stand up after a salute.
Only then did he take out the clothes in his arms and began to prepare Ling Lao's clothes and mounds. Seeing this scene, the village chief, who was still a little skeptical in his heart, also became sad at this moment, sat aside with his head down, and did not speak.
In silence, after half a day, Tian Wai did not use any spiritual power and martial arts, and relied on his hands and a shovel to help Ling Lao dig a grave next to the wind chime.
Tian Wai thought to himself, maybe Ling Lao's biggest wish in his life was to return to this small mountain village? In his impression, Ling Lao was by no means an ambitious person who had the heart to compete for the world, if he had to say it, Tian Wai felt that Ling Lao would rather live a quiet and peaceful life in the snow garden more often.
After a whole day, Tianwai and the others finally came down from the mountain. Tian Wai sat in front of Ling Lao's tomb for a long time, and Yue Yao'er and the others were always by her side. But at night, Tianwai couldn't let these girls spend the night on the mountain. But all in all, coming here made the anger in Tianwai's heart dissipate a lot.
"I've been here for so long, and I haven't asked the name of the village chief, it's rude. ”
The old village chief waved his hand and said, "The old decay is famous. ”
"I saw Feng Lao before, it seems that he has an old relationship with Ling Lao, I don't know ......"
"Eh......" Feng Lao shook his head, and finally showed a dejected look, "The wind chimes you see are my sister." ...... year When my sister died, it was Ling Xiao and I who set up a grave for my sister together. ”
Wind Chimes actually have a younger brother? Tian Wai was a little surprised, these things had never been heard from Ling Lao or Tian Ji, so it was reasonable for them not to know about this matter.
Later, Ling Xiao's temperament also changed greatly, and he went to Molun to seek revenge. "The rest of the matter, Feng Lao is not clear, he only knows that after setting up a grave for the wind chimes with Ling Lao, Ling Lao is like a different person, he is alone, and he goes to the territory of the Di family.
"I see, it's rude. Tian Wai saluted Feng Ye again, "Old Feng, I want to live here for a while......
"This ...... In this small mountain village, where can you entertain a few people......" Feng Ye hurriedly looked at Tian Wai and his party, not to mention the appearance of Tian Wai, a noble son, just the extremely delicate beauty behind him, I am afraid that he will not be able to endure this hardship.
However, Tian Wai did not have much intention of asking for the consent of the village chief, and that night, they spent the night in the carriage, and Tian Wai guarded outside the carriage. It's just to inform the village chief. In the early morning of the second day, Tian Wai led the carriage to the foot of the mountain where Ling Lao was buried.
It's not far from the village, it's just relatively quieter, but countless people in this village know that the boy who came to the village that day has built a house here, and it doesn't look small. At that time, this son hired a lot of people to help build the house.
I heard that those are all white silver, and many people have never seen such a big ingot of silver, and the boy easily took it out. Most people were curious to marry and take a look at this son's house, and they were really shocked again, you must know that in the village, a house like Tian Weeping, or even a more magnificent existence than the village chief, in a courtyard, but there are five or six rooms, not counting the place to eat and cook.
But Tianwai gradually found that after coming here for half a month, more and more people passed in front of his door. During this period of time, he lived in a simple house, rarely interacted with people, and the things of going out to purchase were also completed by Murong Jin and them, these days, he was teaching Yixiang's cultivation, and the rest of the days were basically very leisurely.
Later, Tianwai also understood. When someone passed by the door before, he happened to see Sister Su Qing washing clothes by the river, and when even if she was fascinated and couldn't find her direction, such a beauty, just looking at it, made this man feel satisfied. On the second day, he passed by the same place at that time again, and happened to see Su Qing again.
Suddenly the man felt that he had found something terrible, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon these people in the village knew such news, and these people also took advantage of all kinds of going out, and they would go around from the door of the weeping sky to see if they would have any good luck and be able to see the demeanor of the beauty.
In this village, it is almost isolated, if it weren't for the news that Murong Jin brought back every time he went out, as well as the letter on his body, I'm afraid Tianwai really didn't know the situation in the outside world.
It's been almost a month since he's been here. Listening to Murong Jin, the summoning order of the Demon Fall has been issued for a long time, and more and more people are flocking to the Snow City, and the previous Demon Fall army seems to have been assembled, because Tianci has already led his troops to attack the No Return Mountain and march towards the north.
In a month's time, the three cities were defeated, and the demon clan was defeated! All the way back to Huatian City! Relying on the thickness of Huatian City's high-rise buildings, the heaven-sent demon fall was also difficult to break for a while, and it stayed outside Huatian for the time being.
During this time, Feng Ye would come to Tian Wai's residence and ask about Ling Lao, and Tian Wai was also very patient and told him everything he knew.
Such a peaceful day made everyone enjoy it very much, but Murong Jin and the others felt a little boring, they still longed for the unrestrained and free and chic days outside. Although the scenery here is beautiful and the life is quiet, after all, these young people can't bear it.
However, peace will not last forever, and this is best known to Sky Cry. Every time he was enjoying such a peaceful life, there were often some troubles that quickly befell him! Today, even when Murong Jin came back from the outside, he was in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately shouted that it was not good, it was not good.
The rest of the children were busy helping him first, and he rushed back all the way, almost at full speed! Tian Wai and the others were also in the courtyard, looking at Murong Jin like this, they were puzzled in their hearts.
"What's wrong, Brother Jin?"
"Oh no! no...... Childe, I heard that the demons are moving towards Moren in the east, Huatian City is in danger, and more and more demons have appeared in the north of Molun. ”
Standing up from the rattan chair, Tianwee looked at Murong Jin with some seriousness.
"Are you sure?"
Murong Jin nodded again and again, what he heard with his own ears was that more and more demons appeared in the northern border of Molun. The north of Molun has already shrunk into the hinterland of the south, and now that the enemy is coming, it is almost a situation of driving straight all the way, and I don't know what the attitude of the Di family is, according to the Pearl City, or abandon the city and leave? If the demon clan is allowed to come in through the south of Yaoguang Mountain on the other side of Molun, it will be another trouble.
Yaoguang Mountain is almost on the same level as Taxue City, and here are these villages between Nantian and Taxue City. When the time comes, it will inevitably be a lot of misery! This group of beasts is really not worry-free!
"Childe ......" Wen Beiyan also ran in, there was no one just now, but at the moment he was as panicked as Murong Jin, "There are a lot of soldiers in the village, saying that they are here to collect grain." ”
"Moron's?"
"Hmm. "Although Wen Beiyan doesn't know where those armor soldiers are, they are definitely not the Southern Heavenly Army or the Demon Fall, so there is only one possibility, this group of people came here to collect food?
Tianwai's heart moved, but I was afraid that it was not so simple.
"White!"
The white sharp-eared cat quickly rushed to Tianwai's shoulder, and even Yue Yao'er, who was in a hurry, didn't see her movements clearly. It's no wonder that today's Subai's strength has reached the triple level of chaos!
"Sister Suqing, don't go out yet, Su Bai guards them, I'll take a look. ”
"Got it. Su Bai said impatiently, and immediately jumped on Xue'er's shoulder. From time to time, his eyes will look unkindly at the little fox playing alone not far away. Although this girl's strength is not as good as her, she has also stepped into the chaotic goods, and she knows that she is cute in front of her son, and her son does not let Su Bai bully her, so Su Bai generally does not see her.
"Murong Jin, follow me!"
"Yes!
The two of them came all the way from the bluestone road in front of the house to the middle of the village, and the seat of the guy who was crying and questioning before, but they saw that it was already crowded with people, and at the entrance of the village, it was a team of armored guards, looking at this group of people menacingly.
"Such a big village, there is no food?" hahaha......" The laughing commander of the armored soldiers, the heat in his mouth became even more dazzling in the snow. In such a cold season, there must be a lot of stock in such a village, but on weekdays, it is everyone's living rations, if there is more, it will be taken out for some money, and more have been sold in the market before, where is there any surplus food for these soldiers!
"You figure it out, I'll say it again, we're a local army!"
"General...... We're here...... There really isn't any food left. Feng Ye was in distress, surrounded by a group of armored soldiers in the middle of the horses, isolated and helpless, and the surrounding villagers also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, these armored soldiers were the local army! Who didn't know their fierce name! Even those mountain bandits in Molun, when they saw them, they had to walk around!
"If there is no surplus food, will you wait here to die? Eat less, maybe you can survive this winter, but if you don't pay food, you will have to die now, you choose which is more important." The soldier leaned back on his horse, leaning back slightly, as if he were very patient.
Hearing his words, everyone was still helpless in their hearts.
"Fuck, what if I gave it to them today, and what if I got another one tomorrow?"
"Shhhhhh We're all going to have to die with you!"
"I ...... Huh. ”
"Childe......" Murong Jin raised his head and looked at Tian Weeping. Things are already very clear, there is nothing to look at, and there will be no surprises in the direction of the results, and the choice of the villagers is nothing more than to hand over the grain directly, or a few people die first, and then hand over the grain.
But since the sky is here, things are not destined to go this way.
