Chapter VII Conflict
"Brother Ahai, the red moon is out!"
As soon as Zhou Chen opened the door, Xiaomei stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky, signaling him to look up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info there are two moons hanging high, one white and one red, one small and one large.
"Quick! Grandpa has prepared the car!. ”
Xiaomei said, so she took Zhou Chen's hand and ran next door.
There, Blacksmith Liu was already sitting on a tricycle, and when he saw the two coming, he immediately said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to the beach, where the moon can be seen most clearly." ”
"Hmm!"
Xiaomei responded with her mouth, and at the same time pulled Zhou Chen into the tricycle.
Zhou Chen couldn't fit into the tense atmosphere of the grandfather and grandson at all, because he knew that whether he could successfully awaken or not had nothing to do with where you were. As long as they can shine on the light of the red moon, the conditions are met, in fact, they don't have to go anywhere at all, just at the door of their homes.
Blacksmith Liu didn't know this, and superstitiously thought that this thing was the same as watching the sunrise, and he could take advantage of it by grabbing a good position, so he pedaled the car with his legs hard, making the body shake a little.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, he just sat in the car and looked up at the two moons in the sky.
It stands to reason that if he could wake up, as soon as he went out of the door just now and was illuminated by the moonlight, he would have reacted, but obviously he couldn't wake up. This is also normal, after all, this body is over 15 years old, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to awaken under normal circumstances.
"It seems that Xiaomei didn't wake up this time. ”
Zhou Chen glanced at Xiaomei sitting beside him, and made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't say it, so as not to ruin the expectations in the little girl's heart.
"Brother Ahai, don't worry, although you are past your age, you have only been past a short time, maybe you still have a chance. ”
Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't speak, Xiaomei misunderstood that he was worried that he would not be able to wake up, so she comforted him with words.
Zhou Chen smiled at her, didn't say much, but adjusted his sitting posture and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
After all, Blacksmith Liu was old, and he couldn't last long pedaling the tricycle, and in less than half an hour, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he stopped the car and rested in place.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen offered to let him ride, but was refused. It's still because of Blacksmith Liu's superstition. He thinks that on this kind of red moon day, the better the physical condition, the greater the chance of awakening, so he doesn't let Zhou Chen waste his physical strength.
In the face of Blacksmith Liu's kindness, Zhou Chen knew that he couldn't change his opinion in a few words, so he didn't insist.
After resting for a few minutes, Blacksmith Liu continued to tread.
So, after nearly an hour and a half, they finally reached the edge of the island, where it joined the sea.
When the three of them arrived, dozens of people had already arrived at the beach. Most of them are a combination of one large and one small, and adults bring their children over.
These children, or teenagers, are the protagonists at this time. Some of them stood still looking up at the sky, some kneeling on their knees and praying to the red moon, each in their own way, hoping to increase their chances of awakening.
The adults were quietly by their children's side, quietly and silently, for fear of disturbing the children. As a result, there are many people gathered on the beach, but there is no communication with each other.
Blacksmith Liu looked around, and saw that several high places were occupied, and there were people in the slightly better places, so he had to sigh and whisper a few words, and let Xiaomei and Zhou Chen go to the empty ground and start to try to wake up.
Xiaomei stared at the red moon very seriously, as if she thought that concentrating would improve her chances. Zhou Chen sat on the ground and began to run the "Heaven and Earth Qigong", anyway, this exercise pays great attention to a solid foundation, and it is slow to practice but not afraid of disturbing at all, this kind of environment with many people, Zhou Chen also dares to practice.
The night passed quickly, and the red moon disappeared with the sun.
Zhou Chen practiced "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" for one night, and witnessed all the people in this area of the sea, and none of them successfully awakened.
"Alas, go back, Ahai, don't be discouraged, you haven't been much older yet, maybe there will be a chance next time. ”
Seeing that the people present were going back one after another, Blacksmith Liu also pushed the tricycle over and prepared to return.
"Yes, Brother Ahai, next time there will be a chance, let's work together. ”
Xiaomei herself did not wake up, with regret on her face, but she also followed Blacksmith Liu to comfort Zhou Chen.
"This, thank you Grandpa Liu and Xiaomei, I'm fine. ”
Zhou Chen was speechless, but he didn't defend himself, just said a perfunctory sentence.
"Yo! Isn't this Lehi?"
At this moment, a voice that made Zhou Chen feel familiar came, and at the same time, two tall figures approached, it was Zhang Hui and Zhang Yao, two brothers. But they also came to the seashore.
"What's the matter, you're past your age, and you're still daydreaming?"
Zhang Hui said in a weird manner, matching the expression on his face, which made Zhou Chen feel that he was more bitter than usual.
"Hmph, you two villains, aren't you here to awaken? You are older than Brother Ahai, are you ashamed?"
Xiaomei was kicked by Zhang Hui last time, and her hands were punctured by the fragments of the porcelain bowl, and she was raised for a month before she was completely fine, so she was a little afraid of the two brothers. But she couldn't see Zhou Chen being ridiculed, so she stepped forward and returned it loudly.
"Stinky girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhang Hui saw that Xiaomei was speaking loudly, so that the people around her who had not left could hear it, making her face dull, so he showed a fierce face, and stretched out a hand to grab her.
And at this moment, Zhou Chen quickly stepped forward and blocked in front of Xiaomei. He learned the lesson of the last time and came out in time to protect Xiaomei.
He didn't speak, just looked at the other party calmly, which made Zhang Hui's arrogance pause, and he stopped moving for a while.
"What? You kid still want to do something with us?"
Zhang Yao saw that Zhang Hui's movements were forced to stop by Zhou Chen, and felt weak, so he stepped forward to continue the provocation.
Usually Zhang Yao's temper is a little better than Zhang Hui's, at least every time it is Zhang Hui who strikes first instead of him. But this time, because the sea breeze blew all night, he didn't succeed in awakening, which made his mood worse.
The two brothers had already passed the age of awakening for three years, and they had long lost hope, but since Long Chen awakened, they were stimulated again, and they actively tried on the last two Red Moon Days, but they failed.
Because of this, they were extremely unhappy in their hearts, and when they saw the former angry bag Lehi, they couldn't help but bully them to vent their frustration.
"You two young men, don't go too far. ”
Blacksmith Liu also stepped forward and faced the two brothers side by side with Zhou Chen.
"Phew, old thing, one foot is in the coffin, what's the head, I don't want to beat you to death by a mistake. ”
Zhang Hui looked around, and saw that someone had noticed this side, and felt that it was not good to continue, so he spat on Liu Blacksmith, and walked away with a shout, but he glared at Xiaomei fiercely before leaving.
Zhang Yao sneered at Zhou Chen, and after expressing the threat, he also followed Zhang Hui.
"Alas, these two brothers, who were quite sensible when they were young, have become more and more arrogant since their family became rich. ”
Blacksmith Liu took out a handkerchief, wiped the saliva that had been spit on his body, and shook his head and sighed.
"They're so bad! There will be retribution!"
When Xiaomei saw her grandfather being insulted, a mist appeared in her eyes, and tears almost fell.
Zhou Chen didn't speak, looking at Zhang Hui's departing back expressionlessly, with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Through this time, he was truly determined to find an opportunity to kill the brothers.
At every turn, he wants to shoot at a child like Xiaomei, and he insults an old man so much, according to the laws of this world, he will not die for a crime, but Zhou Chen has a scale in his heart.
"If you really want to kill them, you have to prevent the police from finding me. I'm in conflict with them for a while, so I can't do it anytime soon. ”
"It's better to wait until I become a contractor, even if I am caught killing someone, the consequences I need to bear will be much better than the identity of ordinary people now. ”
"But it will take at least five years for me to wake up. ”
Zhou Chen had many thoughts spinning in his heart, weighing the pros and cons.
