Chapter 301: Three Stories No. 2: The Appearance of All Beings

An expression that had never appeared before appeared on the old man's face, and this expression was called solemnity! That's right, these are the two words! He had already stood at the pinnacle of mankind, and there were few things that could make him really moved, but he came across one tonight, and it was the most important one, how could this not move him.

Although he gave the order to expel himself, the old man knew that this matter was destined not to be too peaceful, after all, the other party had been planning for that plan for hundreds of years, how could he give up with just one word from himself, and the Opdos Empire, as the most powerful existence in the human realm, was bound to become his main target, so his words were undoubtedly a kind of declaration, a signal to go to war!

Now that he has shown his sword, then the other party can only draw his sword as well!

Because the old man's decision had hindered the purpose of that organization, he himself naturally became a thorn in the other party's side, and he was the kind of existence that had to be eliminated!

But the old man was not worried at all, because he knew that even if the other party wanted to make a move on him, he would have to go through some careful preparations, and this process would take at least two years, so that his goal would be half achieved, as long as he waited until his idea was realized, he would go back to that place to see if that place had really changed as the man said.

Now, the world that seems to be calm is actually pregnant with waves, a monstrous wave set off by people with a heart that is enough to sweep the entire Montimos continent!

The red sun leaps over the horizon!

The warm sunshine dispels the chill brought by the night, but it can't dispel the gloom in people's hearts!

In the late autumn morning, the chill is refreshing!

Although the sky is just dawning, there are not a few pedestrians on the road who look in a hurry, some people are preparing for the day's work, some people are taking advantage of the opportunity of the early morning crowds to do something they want to do, and some people have to get up early for some purpose to prepare for what they are going to plan.

The truth that the plan of the day lies in the morning has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

When the gate connecting the civilian city slowly opened, countless people who had been waiting outside, under the guidance of the soldiers guarding the gate, poured into the outer imperial city in an orderly manner, in order to earn a day's life and get busy early, only by getting up early can they sell the goods in their hands as soon as possible.

Someone wants to come in, naturally there are people who want to go out, of course, the people who pour into the Outer Imperial City are naturally far more than the people who come out of the Outer Imperial City, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as a few people, after all, the Outer Imperial City is the trading center of this giant city, as for the outermost civilian city, most of the role is to settle the civilians living in this giant city.

After showing the wooden card that could prove his identity to the soldiers guarding the door, a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated figure passed through the gate as he wished, dividing this giant city of the famous continent into two worlds.

Looking up at the faintly lit sky, the bloated middle-aged man took a deep breath, patted his taut face with both hands, cursed in a low voice something like this damn ghost weather, and then tightened his coat tightly wrapped around him, and walked quickly into a small alley that was not too dirty.

After a few turns left and right, the bloated middle-aged man stopped in front of a dilapidated looking door, took out a note from his bosom, looked down, and looked up again, as if he was discerning something.

The small yard, the dilapidated gate, and the fairly passable house that could be seen through the gap in the gate all made this yard look no different from the others, and a puff or two of green smoke from the chimney from time to time proved that the owner of the yard had woken up.

After hesitating for a moment, as if he was sure that this was the destination of his trip, he rubbed his hands vigorously, clumped the note in his hand into a ball, threw it aside, and then stepped forward and knocked the dilapidated door in front of him.

Boom! Boom!

A series of dull knocking sounds sounded, and I don't know if it was because the bloated middle-aged man was trying too hard, and the sides of this dilapidated gate began to drop a little dirt, as if the former could knock this door down with a little more force.

Seeing this scene, the bloated middle-aged man stretched out his hand again, and immediately stopped, as if he was afraid that if he continued to knock on it, he would knock down this door that was not very strong, and his hands rubbed vigorously, spit out a stream of hot air to the palm of his hand from time to time, in order to dispel the refreshing chill of the late autumn morning.

Fortunately, the owner of the courtyard did not let him wait too long, and just as the bloated middle-aged man kept jumping in place, there was a creak from inside the door, which was the sound of the door opening.

Hearing this heavenly sound, the bloated middle-aged man suddenly stopped beating, put his head on the crack in the door, and looked in with great difficulty.

But before he could observe it closely, an old voice came from the courtyard.

"Who is it?"

"May I ask if it's Leon's house, my name is Jersey, and I'm his friend!" Hearing this tired and old voice, the bloated middle-aged man took a step back, quickly tidied up his clothes, and replied in a deep voice.

"Oh, it's Leon's friend, then wait a minute, I'll open the door for you!" replied the old voice again.

And this time, the old man's voice didn't let the former last long, and after only a few breaths, the closed door slowly opened inward, and a thin old woman appeared inside the door, with gray hair, a slightly rickety body, and a slight cough, proving that the old man's physical condition did not seem to be good.

"Hello, my name is Jersey, is Leon at home?"

He glanced at the old woman in front of him with a respectful expression, although he asked like this, but Jersey's eyes had already drifted to the courtyard, and he had already guessed the result of this sentence, the person he was looking for on this trip must not be in the house, otherwise, it would not be the turn of this old woman who was obviously in poor health to come and open the door.

The person standing at the door is the Jersey leader of the Shaquille Chamber of Commerce, and the person he came to look for on this trip is the upright Captain Leon, but for some reason, this Captain Lyon is not at home, so the Jersey leader doesn't know whether he should leave for a while, or wait here, after all, he came to find the latter today There is no way out.

Just as the Jersey leader was struggling with whether he should go in, a violent coughing sound came from inside the house, although it was not loud, but it sounded as if the people in the house were also in poor health.

"Leon will be back soon, or you will come in and wait a while!" The old woman standing by the door seemed to sense that the former had come to find her son for something to do, and although she didn't know why, it must be important to be able to appear outside the house in the early morning, so the old woman opened her mouth and invited. "It's been a long time since we've had guests in our house!"

"Hmmmm! yes, yes!" the Jersey team leader, who was thinking about something, nodded subconsciously, although he didn't know the old woman's next sentence, he still followed the old woman, after all, the latter's health was not particularly good.

As a mother, how could the old woman not see that the Jersey leader must have something to do, so he would appear outside his house in the early morning, combined with his son's depressed mood in recent days, although he tried his best to hide it, how could he hide it, so the old woman moved her steps and asked Jersey who was following behind her without looking back.

"How did you get to know Leon, did something happen to him? In the last few days he has always been sullen and not in a cheerful mood as before, and always comes back drunk at night, or goes out at night to be busy, and does not come back until the next day, sometimes even the next evening!"

This sentence was asked by a mother out of concern for her son, and there was no question or vigilance in it, it was completely out of maternal love, and there was nothing else.

"This...?!" The team leader hesitated for a moment in the face of this inquiry from his mother's love, but he knew that he could not refuse the former's inquiry, but he didn't say it completely, just picked out something that would not irritate the former. "It's true that something unpleasant has happened to Leon and me lately, but I'm sure it will pass soon, and you won't have to worry about it together!"

Listening to the words of the Jersey leader that were more comforting than explaining, the old woman of course knew that she would not get a real result if she continued to ask, so she simply gave up asking, but kept chattering.

"Alas~!This child, really! Suffering outside, he didn't say anything when he came home, he always put on a grinning appearance in front of our old couple, he thought that our old couple couldn't see it, but he was our son, how could our old couple not see it!"

Looking at the door that was already close at hand, the leader of Jersey, who had been following the old woman, took two quick steps forward and pushed open the half-hidden door for her.

The folding page of the door seems to have rust, and as long as you push it slightly, it can make a piercing sound!

As soon as he pushed open the door, the pungent smell coming from the room almost didn't smoke the Jersey leader, the bitter herb smell, the extremely pungent smell, even made his eyes instantly burst into tears.

Sure enough, the faint smell of herbs that I smelled outside the gate just now came from this house, thinking of this, the heart of the Jersey leader rose a trace of joy, and the people in the predicament could fight desperately, along the way, he was also worried about whether he could say that the other party did that thing with him, and now it seems that the purpose of his trip should be nine out of ten.

With the joy in his heart, the leader of the team helped the old woman into the door, and without deliberately observing, what caught her eye was a pot of boiled earthen urns with herbal juice, and the pungent smell came from this, and the hot air stirred the lid of the urn, making a clattering sound.

Just look up and look around, the whole room can be fully seen, four words to describe, the four walls of the house! No, it is slightly better than the four walls of the house!

In the whole room, except for a large bed and a table for eating, there was nothing, as if he couldn't believe it, he reached out and rubbed his eyes, and the Jersey leader was sure that his eyes were not spent, and Lyon's home was really poor, very poor.

"There's a bit of a mess in the house, find a place to sit by yourself, I'll make you a pot of tea!" As she spoke, the old woman turned to the only cupboard in the room, and began to rummage, muttering quietly as she searched. "How can you not drink tea when a guest comes! Anyway, there won't be a guest coming to our house in a year, so you don't have to be polite!"

Seeing the old woman's slightly struggling actions, Jersey waved his hand again and again to refuse, but after hearing the former's latter sentence, the raised hand froze in the air for an instant, and the words blurted out gradually became smaller until they were inaudible.

"No... No more!"

Before coming, Jersey thought a lot, because of the failure of this mission, he received a lot of punishment, and it can even be described as serious, and Leon, who was a companion on this mission, was naturally no exception, but he always thought that the latter's family background must be better than those who lived at the bottom.

But when he really saw it, he was completely stunned, what kind of home this is, all supported by Leon alone, no wonder he once asked him why he didn't find a wife, and the other party always gave him a bitter smile. Unexpectedly, the reason is from here, such a family, no woman is willing to marry him, no matter how much she loves him, she has to face resistance from her own family.

The health of the two elderly people is obviously not very good, and the treatment requires a cost, even the cheapest medicine, it also needs a high cost to support, because any disease cannot be cured at one time, so let alone ordinary people, even the huge family business they earn may not be guaranteed to be able to support it.

Holding a steaming teacup in his hand, looking at the old woman's half-busy figure, lying on the bed and unable to move, Jersey's mind was in a mess, he knew that maybe Leon's family was better, but now, this family had been dragged down by two sick old men.

Seeing this scene, the Jersey leader once again strengthened his decision, he wanted to save himself, he didn't want his home to become like this, he wanted to fight desperately for the last time, the original plan, pulling Leon into his plan, was just an idea, and now he wants to turn this idea into reality.

Holding the teacup in his hand, the Jersey leader thought about it attentively, unaware of the passage of time, and I don't know how long it took, the hot teacup in his hand had become cold, and a deep voice sounded from outside the door, which woke him up.

"Mom, I'm back! Hey, are you in the house?"
