"Hmm... Me and Zhang Ze and alas... After going out for more than a year, I saw all kinds of strange creatures, and then I realized that we were not the only ones in the world. The old man lying on the bed had a yellow face without a trace of blood, and his half-opened eyes basically lost their brightness. Even the slightest movement of turning his head was particularly difficult for the old man.

Looking at the worried people in the room, the old man smiled hard. He was about to open his mouth to continue speaking, but was persuaded by the elder sitting next to him: "Zhang Chi, you better rest first." You haven't eaten or drunk a of water since you woke up...... Everyone is worried about you!You are the village chief, no matter what living things in the outside world are not as important as your life as the village chief, you are the pillar of the village!" he said, tremblingly holding the palm that hung weakly on the bed.

The old man sighed and said, "Iron Rooster, don't you understand? My body knows best, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through this time." If I don't tell what I know, I'm afraid I won't be able to say it, cough!" he coughed hard, and saw red blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth, like a small snake slowly poking out.

Seeing this, the elder hurriedly shouted: "Fierce son, Tie Niu, come and see the village chief!"

Mengzi and Tie Niu were the best pharmacologists among the village chiefs, and at this time, they hurriedly came to the bedside, and after checking on the old man, they took out small needles from the needle bag they carried with them, and kept sticking needles in the weak body.

I don't know how long I was busy, but I saw the two of them sweating profusely and retreating to the side, shaking their heads and sighing at the elder slightly, only to hear the fierce son say: "The village chief's injury this time has broken his heart, but fortunately, the village chief's martial arts realm is profound, so he didn't ...... immediately Tie Niu and I can only protect the village elder for another hour now, and with our medical skills, we are really powerless, at most we can do this step. Unless the village elder can eat the holy fruit, it's a pity that the holy fruit has been taken by Chen'er... Alas," he retreated into the crowd with a face of shame.

The elder sat there, tears gradually gathering in his eyes, and then slowly dripping from his old face.

There is a tree in their village that is full of red, and I don't know the variety, but the fruit it bears has a miraculous effect. The use of the terminally ill can restore vitality, the consumption of the dying old can prolong the life expectancy, and for the young, it can strengthen the qi and blood, so that the power is infinite. The only downside is that this fruit contains fire aura, which needs to be suppressed and diluted with nighttime dead qi.

The tree blooms once it blooms and bears fruit every thirty years, which is very precious. On weekdays, it was all taken care of by Zhang Chen's third uncle, Zhang Xu, if it weren't for the fact that the elder wanted to use the holy fruit to refine a furnace of medicinal materials this time, Zhang Xu would not have been able to hand over such a valuable fruit to Zhang Chen, so he would not have been taken advantage of by Zhang Chen to eat the fruit.

It can only be said that creation makes people!

When he came back to his senses, the elder held the old man's hand and tightened it slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Zhang Chi, I can't stand you!"

After the needle pricking, the old man seemed to return to the light at this time, his face gradually became ruddy, and his spirit became full.

Looking at the ceiling, as if he had forgotten that he was a dying person, he smiled slightly: "Iron Rooster, maybe God wants to take me in?" In fact, Zhang Ze desperately brought me back so that I could continue my life by relying on the Holy Fruit, but... Providence makes people!" he smiled, as if laughing at himself.

Who doesn't want to live? He wants to! But if God decides to take him in, then he can't escape no matter what.

Eliminating these thoughts, he only heard the old man say in a deep voice: "Iron Rooster, this incident is related to our village, you must listen carefully!" After speaking, he easily opened the palm held by the elder, and then began to talk as if he was stuck in a memory.

The elder also knew that the old man did not have much life, so he put away his messy mood and listened attentively to what he said, and did not wipe the tears on his face, so he listened quietly. He knew that these were the old man's last words.

"We've been out for a year, and we've seen all sorts of new things, demons, somebody, and a half-demon, half-human species, but I've always suspected that this is just the tip of the world we've explored. ”

"I don't have much time, so I'll speed up! You can ask Zhang Ze later...... others," the old man gasped, stopped the elder who wanted to stand up with his hand, and then continued.

"When we traveled all the way west, the first thing we met was the same Terran tribe as us, they treated us more friendly, and we knew from their mouths that there were not only beasts in this world, but also more powerful demons!"

"From their mouths, I know that demons are divided into four categories: heavenly demons, spirit demons, blood demons, and demons, these demons all have their own skills, which are very terrifying!"

"After coming out of the tribe, we continued to travel west, and we saw many creatures, and we often wandered around the ghost gate, and several times encountered life and death crises. ”

"Until that time, we saw the real demon!" said the old man, his face frightened, as if the picture of that day was still in front of him, lingering.

"That demon is hideous and terrifying, bloodthirsty and brutal, even if I have broken through the seventh rank of the martial realm, I have paid an extremely painful price to escape, otherwise, the three of us will definitely die in the belly of that demon!"

............

After listening to the village chief's words, everyone was dumbfounded. It turns out that there are many secrets in the world that they don't know, they have always thought that their place is the only one since they were born, and their own race is also the only one, but they never thought that the outside world is more complicated and full of dangers.

Demons, spirits, demons, and various tribes and villages and towns said from the mouth of the village chief one by one, this is something they had never dared to think of before, and they felt that it was too absurd and incredible.

While everyone was stunned, only the elder looked at the old man on the bed worriedly. Watching his eyes gradually dim, the elder's heart ached, and he knew that this old man had reached the end of his life.

Turning his head to look at the two women in the crowd, he said in a hoarse voice, "Sapphik, Twilight is preparing a wooden basin to clean the village chief, everyone...... Prepare to greet the village chief. ”

The old man's eyes gradually half-closed, and he seemed to use his last strength to say angrily: "This time, the village is completely closed, and no one is allowed to leave the village. Those who have not reached the martial realm and left the village in vain are not allowed to come back! The rest ...... I'll give you the Iron Rooster. I'm really sorry, I'm going to put you on the heavy responsibility again......" As the voice became quieter and quieter, the old man's eyes slowly closed.

The elder stood up and cried out in a deep voice, "Silence!!" and knelt down on one knee.

The rest of the room fell to their knees, then lowered their heads and said their last goodbyes to the old man, silent except for the unknown children at the door.

It took a full three minutes for the elder to stand up and shout, "Congratulations to the village chief!"

"Congratulations to the village chief!!"

"Congratulations to the village chief!!"

"Congratulations to the village chief!!"

After three words, a group of women all cried, but the children outside were puzzled, they didn't know that the old man was sleeping... It's forever. I thought that the village chief's grandfather was just tired, and these uncles and aunts reacted a little too much!

Although the men did not cry, their eyes remained focused on the body on the bed, and they did not take their eyes off it for a long time.

The clear sky gradually became dark, and although it was a hot summer, it suddenly had a cold and biting meaning. The sound of thunder is like a heavy drum in the heavenly court, and it makes a deep sound, hammering people's hearts. The majestic rain was like a cry from heaven, as if mourning and sighing for this old man.

Back Mountain

Everyone was dressed in robes, watching the coffin lid slowly closed, and the wet soil was buried on the coffin little by little, and the women couldn't help crying.

The adults didn't let the children come along, because they didn't want the children to see this scene, so let this kind old man stay in their hearts. It's also a kind of beauty!

After cleaning up, everyone returned home in silence, and the cheerful atmosphere in the village became solemn and deep......
