Chapter 41: Thirty Years Ago (3)
"What about that villain, why don't you seek revenge on him?" Yang Fan felt aggrieved when he heard it.
"How could you let him go so easily," Lao Chunqiu smiled bitterly, " But you also know, how can it be so easy to find someone, I have no clue after looking for a period of time, so I spread hero posts, seeking help from friends in the rivers and lakes, only to find out that I am not the only one who has encountered this kind of thing, in the past few years, there are several martial arts masters who have been lost inexplicably, and a group of us sit together together, I will tell what I have seen and heard, and everyone analyzes that someone is using these martial arts masters to practice evil martial arts, so everyone will distribute notices to fellow martial artists, so that everyone can help find this strange personγ But months have passed, and there is not even the slightest news. β
Lao Chunqiu's depressed mood can be imagined.
"What happened later?" Yang Fan not only asked.
"Later,Everyone can't get together every day.,So I went back to my place to leave a message about it.,When I got home,I found my childhood sweetheart's lover.,Finally home.γ β
When Lao Chunqiu said this, a rare smile appeared on his face, and his joy overflowed.
"My wife and I have known each other since childhood, for some reasons, we have not been able to be together, after going back this time, we finally broke through the layers of resistance and got married, but within a few months of marriage, I received a letter from a friend in the rivers and lakes, saying that I found this strange old man in Lingnan Province. My wife didn't let me go, saying that she was afraid that I would be in danger, but I couldn't help but avenge my brother, so one night, I secretly came out, thinking that I was strong in martial arts, and this time I came out for as little as three or two months, and as much as half a year, I could kill the old man and eliminate harm for my fellow martial artists, but who knew that until now there are almost thirty years ago, and I haven't fulfilled my wish. β
"I don't know what's going on in the house right now. Speaking of this, Lao Chunqiu's tears rained down like rain, and he couldn't say anything.
Yang Fan also felt pitiful for Lao Chunqiu, and also shed tears.
Lao Chunqiu cried for a while, and then slowly stopped, and when he saw that Yang Fan was also crying, he said: "You stupid boy, if I cry, you will cry too." β
"I feel uncomfortable listening to what you said?" Yang Fan sobbed.
"After I came to Lingnan Province, I met with other fellow martial artists, and then searched around, and once we met that strange old man, but I didn't expect him to bring an eagle this time, found us in advance, and then ran away.
We searched the whole Lingnan Province and found no trace of him. We thought he had left here, and we were going home, but on the night when I went back to the hotel to pack my things, I found a note left by a friend in my room, saying that I had found the strange old man, and I was afraid that something would happen to him alone, so I left a letter for other friends, and then hurriedly followed the code he left behind. β
"I remember very clearly, it rained a lot that day, and on the way my friend's code called the rain a lot, I barely followed to a tree, and found that my friend had died there, his left arm was ripped off alive, discarded to the side, and there were also scars on his body, obviously he had been abused a lot, and I found a small word "prisoner" under his body, which confused me for a long time,"
"When I saw the prisoner word he wrote, I was fascinated, since he wrote this prisoner before he died, he must have something to do with the murderer, could it be that the old man was a prisoner?
So I stood up and looked around, and saw a high wall in the distance. I walked closer and found that this was the first prison in Lingnan, which made me even more sure of my thoughts. So I sneaked into the prison and hid myself, looking for the strange old man among the prisoners.
But I sneaked into the prison for three months, checked every prisoner on the books, and found no strange old man, and just as I was about to leave, near the mine at night, I saw the strange old man again.
So the two of us fought again, but this strange old man brought an eagle this time, which was very tricky. This strange old man was jealous of my martial arts, and without fighting a dozen moves, he retreated back the way he came.
The second time it was in the same place, I ran into him again, and although my martial arts were superior to his, it was very difficult to kill him, and the strange old man escaped again.
Having met him in the same place twice in a row, I assumed that this was a passage for him to get out of prison. So I stayed here and waited for the rabbit.
Sure enough, the third time I met him near the mine, and I took the opportunity to get rid of his eagle, and I got rid of his accomplices, and I saw him many times in the days to come, and although I prevented him from getting out of prison again, I didn't succeed in killing him, and I stayed here for decades. β
Speaking of this, Lao Chunqiu sighed, with a look of frustration.
"Huh?" Yang Fan was amazed when he heard this, he didn't expect that this was the reason why Lao Chunqiu stayed here. "Then have you ever been out in the future? You just got married and came here, how is your wife?"
Yang Fan didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Lao Chunqiu's face changed, and he grinned and cried bitterly, "It's easy to come in and difficult to get out, and the guards were not strict at the beginning, but then they became stricter and stricter, and they couldn't get out at all, how do I know how my wife is now, I regret not listening to her, I can't see her now, and I don't know if she is alive or dead now." β
Lao Chunqiu's crying released the feelings that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, and he couldn't stop it.
Yang Fan coaxed the old man for a long time and didn't stop coaxing, and finally it took a long time for Lao Chunqiu to stop crying.
"Old man, do you think it's worth it for you to do this?" Yang Fan felt very depressed in his heart.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know, in order to prevent that strange old man from going out and harming people again, I have been here for decades, but I have never met my family since then, and life is worse than death. Lao Chunqiu was also confused, he didn't know if it was worth it for so many years.
"Old man, if you were asked to choose again, what would you choose?" Yang Fan asked.
"Me?" Lao Chunqiu hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "I will still come here, but I will settle my family, I know a little, because I am staying here, so he has not been able to go out, I don't know how many people died outside." If I hadn't stayed here, I don't know how many people would have died, even if I died, I would have to grind this demon to death. β
Lao Chunqiu said slowly: "When my master taught me martial arts, he said such a sentence, 'The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.'" One cannot always live for oneself. β
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. Lao Chunqiu's words were like a glass of winter spirits, which directly made Yang Fan's heart boil, he didn't expect that Lao Chunqiu, who seemed to have no rules, would be able to say such a thing and do such a thing.
With his own strength, he kept the demon in prison alive for more than 20 years, and he didn't know how many lives he saved.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan sighed how naΓ―ve he was before, and how small he was compared to Lao Chunqiu.
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. Yang Fan kept repeating this sentence, tossing and turning at night and couldn't sleep.
Early the next morning, Lao Chunqiu woke up early, he didn't pester Yang Fan to play chess anymore, and concentrated on pointing out Yang Fan's secret weapon kung fu.
Yang Fan was practicing the hidden weapon, and suddenly he threw the stone in his hand and shouted loudly, "Old man, I remember that you said yesterday that the mine is the passage for that demon to get out of prison, right?"
"That's right, what's wrong?" Old Chunqiu didn't know what kind of hysteria Yang Fan had.
"If we find that passage, won't you be able to go home?" Yang Fan jumped and jumped happily.
"Hey, what should I be? I've thought of this a long time ago, but the passage is not so easy to find, I've searched all over the mines, and I haven't found anything, and the ghost knows where to hide?"
"So that's the case?" Yang Fan's happy mood just now was not only depressed.
However, Yang Fan thought about it, and if Lao Chunqiu couldn't find it, it didn't mean that he couldn't find it, so Yang Fan was happy again.
"Old man, I don't practice today, I want to take a break. Yang Fan said.
"Rest, you know, that weird old man has already been trained into a corpse, and if you don't work hard, I won't be able to deal with him on my own. Lao Chunqiu said angrily.
"Ahh Yang Fan became depressed, "Old man, take a day off, I have something important to do." β
After speaking, Yang Fan didn't say much, he took the pangolin that was sleeping at the bedside, opened the door of the confinement room with the key, and went out.
"This kid. There is no way to do the old Chunqiu's dry glare.
"Hey, where is this kid going?" Old Chunqiu squinted his eyes and saw Yang Fan heading in the direction of the basement.
Yang Fan carried the pangolin directly through the basement, and then went down to the mine along Lao Chunqiu's house.
Yang Fan crawled out of the mine, and then looked at it with a probe, it was already daytime, and if he was not careful, he might be discovered by others.
After seeing that there was no one around, Yang Fan looked down and saw that the pangolin was still sleeping in his arms?
"You lazy. Yang Fan threw the pangolin to the ground.
"Ahh
"Earthquake fart, you lazy, it's dawn and you're still sleeping. Yang Fan pointed at the pangolin and scolded.
"You're not reasonable, I can't sleep when you're snoring in the middle of the night, you just woke me up when I fell asleep, really, my mother is right, human beings are really cruel. The pangolin said aggrievedly.
"Don't be verbose, I'll give you a task, and if you finish it, I'll let you go. Yang Fan said.
"Really?" Pangolin's eyes lit up when he heard that Yang Fan was going to let himself go.
