Lin Maolin and the others stayed in place, their thoughts could not be dispersed for a long time, around them, the smoke curled, endlessly, beside them, in the place where they were, formed a looming psychedelic magic circle, the center of the magic circle is them, with people as a unit, in such a place with a large number of people, it is also formed countless Dharma positions of different sizes, covering all the people here.

"General Lin, thank you, thank you for staying." A gray-aged old man said with a sad face.

On his body, Lin Maolin saw too much, too much given by this earth, baptized by the wind and frost years, full of traces of history, on his face, the original smooth face like jade, but it appeared plainly, pitted, like a group of mountains and ravines like extraordinarily conspicuous folds.

There are gray, dark brown, age spots, and scars of time, but more of them are the vicissitudes of life and the ruthlessness of the world, and the additions, just like his face, are almost all spared, without exception, all of them are stained with the traces of time, maybe this is life, this is called the world.

Lin Maolin looked at these faces, his heart was extremely melancholy, and his thoughts were thousands, he knew that if he returned to the sky just now and lived the life of that dragon god, maybe he would be a little better off than now, but in the end, he hesitated.

Living in such a world, everyone is worried about themselves, and the country is in danger, how can people who have not experienced the world understand? What kind of world is this? The years have made them understand, so what they want to give back to the years will be a struggle.

He doesn't want to leave here, he doesn't want to go anywhere else, there are so many people here who need him and people he cares about, they are all waiting for him, under his leadership, to change the world.

At this moment, a pair of small hands appeared in front of him, and he clearly felt a slight but real object rubbing against him in his left and right ribs.

Lin Maolin turned his head and just saw a little girl, looking at him with watery eyes, her eyes full of longing.

"Begonia, don't make trouble, there are so many villagers in the village, you are not too young, and you will marry someone in the future."

Lin Maolin's words instantly caused the entire township to laugh.

Xiao Haitang pursed her lips and whispered, "I won't marry." ”

Lin Maolin put his hand on her little head, like a little pineapple, counting, this feeling is too good, because this little guy can walk by himself, without Lin Maolin exerting more force, just let it go, the little guy will follow him, that feeling, it's really not too good.

"Little Begonia, how old are you this year?" Lin Maolin asked.

Xiao Haitang pursed her lips and said, "I'm thirteen years old this year. ”

Lin Maolin grinned and said, "Thirteen years old, I think you haven't been out of the village at your age, and there is no one in the village, only some wild cranes and spotted deer, they can chat with me every day." ”

Xiao Haitang looked at Lin Maolin, there was a hint of intrigue in his eyes, and finally, he said with a slanted smile: "If I can go back to the past, I will definitely go to talk to General Lin and play with General Lin." ”

Lin Maolin touched Xiao Haitang's head and said, "You are still young, you don't understand, there are some things, the decider is not necessarily ourselves." Only if you are strong enough can you decide your future and decide the path you will take in the future. ”

Xiao Haitang clenched his fists, filled with righteous indignation, and said confidently: "If this is the case, then I will become a strong man, and then those people come, I will stand in front of Brother Lin and beat them all away." ”

Lin Maolin touched Xiao Haitang's head, at this time, her hair was so sharp, hard and dazzling.

In her, Lin Maolin couldn't see any waves, since the first time I saw her, this little girl was still a guy who didn't like to talk, maybe it was the reason why she had given up resistance.

When the first contact became the first focus of their lives, the fate of the two and the emotions of the two had been further sublimated.

Lin Maolin asked her, "What about your father?" ”

Little Begonia shook her head.

When Lin Maolin asked him, "What about your mother?" ”

Xiao Haitang nodded, pointed to the well, and said, "Mom will stay in the well forever." ”

Lin Maolin also asked: "What about your relatives and friends?" ”

Xiao Haitang nodded, with an excited smile on his face, and said, "They are all my relatives and friends." ”

After comforting the little fellow, the group also returned to the village.

This is their home, however, at this time it has been sparsely populated, listening to an old man in the village said that this was originally a prosperous village, between the village and the village, people are friendly, but, a few months ago, the Beidi people became more and more rampant, the whole town was also immersed in the war, for a few months, the original lively town, suddenly became extremely quiet, people hiding, and there were many people who took up arms to resist.

However, an accident almost cost them their lives.

Lin Maolin knew about the rest of the matter, but he didn't know anything about what happened before.

"What the hell is going on?" Lin Maolin asked.

The old man replied, "General Lin, after more than a month of observation with me, the enemy's stronghold should be on the mountain, and it is spreading in the form of ant colonies. Knowing this, our whole village began to plan, gathered the men of the whole village, and the next day, gathered the strong men of the whole village to launch a counterattack on the stronghold on the mountain, but just when we quietly went up the mountain, a strange thing appeared. ”

Lin Maolin asked, "What is it?" ”

The old man was silent for a moment, then stammered, "I... Neither do I... Road... But, look... Rise... It's scary. ”

Lin Maolin asked, "Where is the horror?" Did you see it? Are there any distinguishing features? ”

The old man was quite a little more, the wrinkles on his face suddenly appeared, and his eyes were wide open for a long time, and he couldn't say a word.

Lin Maolin waved his right hand, and a mist lingered in front of his eyes, and finally, when the mist dissipated, there was still a little bit of moist water vapor left in the air.

Water is the purest thing in nature, and the world is full of vitality because of water.

The water vapor dissipated, and the old man's round eyes regained a trace of demeanor, and said: "We went to the enemy's stronghold, but it was not a stronghold at all, but a flame of the enemy, magma and hell let out a cry and roar, everyone else died, and it was a large piece, a large piece of death, in the high temperature, under the flames, leaving only a curling dust, the whole person seemed to have completely disappeared, enveloping the world, indicating that the endless pesticides, a terrifying existence that made the world tremble." ”

When Lin Maolin heard this, his brows also frowned, if he had heard of this matter before, at most he had heard about it in his master's mouth, as for some things that should not have appeared in this world, he didn't even dare to think about it.

Lin Maolin comforted the old man and said, "Take a break, you are so old, you should have a carefree life in the village, but you just followed the young man to this so-called bandit mountain, but you didn't break through, so why bother?" Life should be hard work when you are young, and enjoy the fruits of hard work when you are old, but you, a lot of age, still worry about these things, you really shouldn't be. ”

The old man's wrinkled face suddenly tightened, and the wrinkles on his face formed a series of deep folds, which made people can't help but want to take care of him more.

A pair of hands that are close to pale, the skin is almost dry, the cracks are shocking, the appearance of old age, looking at the lines on the hands can prove everything the most, at an age when you should enjoy it, but use such a pair of hands to do what others did when they were young, this may be the responsibility that a man should have.

Suddenly, with a clear plopping sound, the old man knelt on the ground, grabbed Lin Maolin's hand with both hands, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and said almost crying in his voice: "General Lin, it's good that you're here, I heard that Luoyang sent a god of war, it must be you, our general, the person we are looking forward to the most, you must save us." ”

Lin Maolin also knelt down, supported the old man with both hands, and said, "Grandpa, don't be sad, I will help you, I will." You get up, you get up. ”

The old man's body was motionless, at this moment, he said all the words in his heart, as if relieved, his body also became light at this moment, but in this light gravity, there was not enough strength to make him stand up, maybe this is the calamity that an old man should have.

Lin Maolin stood up after a long time, looking at the old man, he couldn't get up anymore, his life had come to an end, and the next end would become his future goal.

Experiencing new life, experiencing growth, experiencing ups and downs, experiencing choices, and forming your own thinking mode, such a life is perfect, such a life is meaningful, isn't it?

Lin Maolin stood in place, his head bowed, and only turned to leave after three seconds.

Some soldiers have helped the old man, and their family members worked together to send the old man's body into the coffin at the last moment, everyone understands that a person's life may be so fragile, when you are a certain age, you will understand, in fact, life is like this, a world without rehearsal, a world without pause, life is like this, indomitable progress, in the years of continuous friction, in the continuous evolution of history, everyone is a unique person in this world, is also a touch of dust in this world, some people say that he is very important, and some people say that he is irrelevant, but at this moment, Lin Maolin wants to say that his life should be like these martyrs, through his own efforts, even if he dies, then what is important? No regrets used to be the greatest possession!

Just as he walked out, there was such an incident outside his world, a man who was two feet old, wearing gorgeous clothes, exuded a unique atmosphere from top to bottom, quite noble.

"Second brother, didn't you say that you found the third brother? Where does he stand? ”

The person in front of him was Lin Jingkun, and beside him was an old man with gray temples, the old man looked at them, there was a long-lost breath in his eyes, and the old man did not speak.

Lin Jingkun shook his head and said, "The third brother didn't come back, he was enjoying himself in other people's homes, where did he remember our two elder brothers, I asked him to come back to see you, and he said that you are not as important as those civilians, look?" What's there to see. ”

His eldest brother is named Lin Huancheng, his story can be said to be very exciting, and his status among the dragon clan is also the most prominent.

Lin Huancheng said: "Haha, is it that the second brother can't bring people back, and he has eaten a stomach full of ashes?" Come, come, come, let the eldest brother take a good look, my second brother, your current appearance is really pitiful. ”

Lin Jingkun waved his sleeves and left, leaving the two of them, and the old man said to Lin Huancheng: "Your third brother is used to being outside, this time, he may not be able to come to the God Conference." ”

Lin Huancheng looked at the sky and said: "Maybe it's not as simple as he imagined, he doesn't want to come back, and those of us who are brothers don't have much to say, but it's my father's side, it's not easy to explain." ”

The old man nodded and left leisurely, "Your third brother also has his concerns if he doesn't come back, in this world, he has experienced no less than you, give him some more time, now the Fengshen Conference is imminent, and I hope he can return as soon as possible, so that you two brothers can reunite." ”

This hall is not like the usual point hall, there is no splendid decoration here, here, palaces built on the clouds stand on both sides, and the clouds cover it, forming a dreamlike world.

Whenever it is windy and rainy, one can see the shadow of this palace from the sky.

However, Lin Maolin didn't see these, all he saw was a clear and white world, he wanted to get rid of all the filth in front of him, he wanted to clean up the bad things in this world, once, he thought, if one day, he could also live happily and carefree in this world, how good it would be, but when he went down the mountain, he saw that the people here were living in dire straits, his heart began to soften, and he gave an order, the master had taught himself, no matter what he encountered, Don't forget to put the country and the people first. In the face of the country and development, individual gains and losses are negligible.

Since then, he has joined the army wholeheartedly, and when he really entered the army, his mood began to change drastically.

With a clear knock on the door, an old man walked in, none other than his eldest brother Udil!

Lin Maolin asked, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

Udir replied: "Third brother, I just want to come to see you, nothing else, I just want to talk about the affairs of the family." I received a letter from my wife, and there was a copy of yours, which was sent by your mother-in-law with the envelope in my envelope. The letter is here, you open it and read it. ”

Lin Maolin took the envelope, looked at it carefully, and then when he opened the envelope, a line of eye-catching large characters appeared in front of his eyes.

A letter to my dear husband, Lin Maolin.

When you open this letter, everything is fine at home, and I hope that you will be smooth sailing outside, and everything will go smoothly and peacefully......

Lin Maolin read the letter, the corners of his eyes moistened, he was born to be active, he didn't accompany his woman for a few days on the wedding day, so he ran out and went to the mysterious street with his eldest brother, now it's okay, he came out, but let his woman stay in the empty room alone, in this world, he is an incompetent husband.

Slowly put away the envelope, a cloud of sadness in his heart, in his heart, he didn't know how many days and nights he still had, he was alone outside, if it wasn't for the company of his comrades, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to hold on now.

"Big brother, it's been many days outside, according to the holy decree, some small towns have been recovered, and a city can't stay for more than half a month at most, right, and it has to be reviewed, and it can only reach half a month's world when it needs to be supplemented and adjusted in terms of food, grass, military salaries, personnel, etc., according to our situation, we will set off in three days at most, right?" Lin Maolin said earnestly.

His eldest brother Udir nodded and said, "That's true, now that the town is safe, we can leave early, so as not to find more troublesome things to deal with?" ”

Udir's tone was heavy with questions.

Lin Maolin glanced at him, then retracted his gaze and said, "Big brother, is this really what you really think in your heart?" ”

The eye contact between the two just now has explained a lot of problems, and Udir laughed and said: "I believe that the third brother has already known in his heart, you are the head of this operation, I will listen to you everything, you say to stay, it doesn't hurt to stay with him for three more days, as long as the people here have no opinions, I don't mind." ”

Lin Maolin smiled and said, "Okay, then eat and drink here." ”

Udir looked at him with an intriguing look in his eyes.

Udier walked out of Lin Maolin's room, two bosom friends, in fact, Lin Maolin still remembers that when he rescued the old man, Udier also came behind him, the two talked and laughed, but it explained a lot of truth, and also set off a kind of homesickness.

After a night's sleep, you will wake up with a new world, a new spiritual world to be precise.

Lin Maolin walked out of the door and looked into the distance, a huge Dapeng bird spread its wings and soared above the nine heavens, the huge sound covered the blue sky, but also the white clouds, if you looked down at the floor, you can only see a huge black shadow, shrouded this place in a layer of black reflection, along this sky, towards the high mountain......
