Chapter 1: 0001: The Escaper

Next Chapter

A place with beautiful mountains and rivers can be called a paradise and isolated from the world, but there are wooden houses built on the treetops in the woods between the rivers, which is very chic.

And under the treetops, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with messy broken hair, raised his head to look at the sunlight shining in the woods, and smeared it on his face, very gently.

At this time, an old man dressed as a woodcutter came over, carrying a pile of firewood on his back, and seeing that the young man was pondering again, he chuckled, and had become accustomed to putting down the firewood and cutting it with a large knife.

It can be found that the old man seems to be in his eighties and nineties, but no matter how thick the firewood is, he cuts it off one by one, and never drags mud and water.

"Little bastard, something has been wrong with you lately? What do you think? ”

The young man shook his head, still looking at the sky.

"I feel like a failure! Until now, I haven't found out who the mysterious legion that slaughtered our detachment, what is the sacredness, he pushed me down the cliff and said that he would ruin my reputation, what does it mean? ”

The old man sighed: "If you can't find it, you don't plan to go back to see your beloved?" ”

The young man looked at the old man in surprise: "What beloved?" ”

The old man chuckled: "The day I rescued you, you were in a coma all night shouting a name, called Hui Ling. ”

The young man's eyes were a little evasive, and he looked at the sky above him.

"At first, I didn't care, but then over the past two years, your lovesickness has intensified, and I can hear you calling this name almost every night." After the old man finished chopping wood, he sat down beside the young man and asked with great interest and disrespect, "Who are you this Hui Ling?" ”

The young man ignored him and continued to look up at the sky.

The old man was unrelenting, glancing at the warhead necklace that the young man was wearing, and a ring was fastened to it.

He smiled: "The necklace tied to your necklace I didn't pay attention to that night, I tried it with your fingers, and found that the ring finger can't be worn, but your middle finger can be worn very securely, I think this should be an engagement ring, this Hui Ling, is it your fiancΓ©e?" ”

The young man stared at the old man with wide eyes and turned his head to look at the old man. Shocked that he had done so much close to himself at night, and he didn't even notice it.

"Am I right?" The old man showed his big white teeth and said, "I have already seen through you."

The young man snorted: "You are so gossipy, can you be alone here without panicking?" Didn't you say that you had always lived here in isolation with antiques? How do you still know which finger to wear for engagement? ”

"Don't change the subject." The old man smashed his mouth: "It's because of isolation, it's rare for you to come in as an outsider, so I can find someone to talk to, hurry up, don't always pretend to be deep for the old man, if you continue like this, you will definitely hold back your depression." ”

After the young man pondered for a moment, he lowered his head and touched the ring on his necklace, and he sighed: "She is indeed my fiancΓ©e, I promised her that I would marry her after I returned from that mission." Who knew that something like that would happen, everyone, all my comrades-in-arms sacrificed, but I was the only one who survived, thanks to the old man, you saved me. ”

Speaking of this, the man suddenly smiled bitterly: "But next week, she will marry a guy who has some grudges against me." ”

The old man's eyes widened: "Isn't it your fiancΓ©e?" Can you still marry someone else? ”

"I don't know why." After the man put down the ring, he lowered his head and did not speak.

"Don't you want to go back?" The old man asked him.

The man looked at the old man, shook his head and said, "I haven't found out who did it, I don't want to talk about children's affection, maybe we have no fate." And I promised you, teach me skills, and I will take care of you. ”

The old man said while collecting firewood: "Go back, before you came, I wasn't okay?" I think you're more interesting, I'm afraid you'll be saved by me and leave, so I'll trap you here most of the time, since some grievances are unknown, let's go back, I can't see through your thoughts? These days, you are always distracted, you just can't let go of your fiancΓ©e, you are unwilling! ”

After pursing his lips, the man looked at the old man hesitantly: "Really...... Let me go? But if I go back this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while, or maybe I'll die outside? ”

Immediately, he stretched out his hand, showed his vein, and then closed his eyes: "You taught me this ability, since I broke the appointment, then please abolish me, if I can come back alive this time, I will come to honor your life-saving grace!" ”

The old man looked very serious about him, and he really waited for himself to come and abolish him.

As long as he is willing, he can abolish his internal strength!

The old man walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and pinched the man's veins, one kneeling, the other standing, and both of them maintained this movement for a long time.

"Are you sure?" The old man suddenly asked again.

The man closed his eyes and nodded: "To be a man you have to talk about a reputation, thanks to you for teaching me the ability to make me stand up again, but I don't keep my promises, you're right, I still can't let go of those things, I want to go back and make a good break, so, take these back." ”

The old man looked at him for a long time, suddenly changed his words, snorted, and shook off the man's hand: "I spent a year of hard work to heal your broken hands and feet, and it took another two years to teach you skills, and now you want me to take them all back?" You said you would accept it? Keep it. ”

The man opened his eyes in astonishment and looked at the old man.

"There are some things, life does not bring death and does not bring them, since you and I are destined, I will teach you skills, as for the others, why force it? Old man, I have taught you everything I can teach, don't you consciously call me Master if I don't engage in rituals? The old man sighed: "I'll take a good look, the ability I gave you is enough for you to break the grievances in the world?" ”

The man was overjoyed: "I will do my best." ”

"Not the best effort." The old man looked at him condescendingly, a little kind: "You remember, some kindness, some affection, some resentment, all have to be repaid, you are too obsessed, I know I can't keep you." ”

The man nodded heavily: "I understand!" ”

The old man turned around, went over and carried his firewood into the kitchen, and said with a sigh: "Then go, when you have paid back all your grievances and grievances, come and accompany me again, a bad old man." ”

After kowtowing to the old man, the man stood up and wanted to leave outside the peach orchard.

At this time, the old man poked his head out of the kitchen window and asked, "Wait a minute, little bastard, no, you kid has been afraid that I will leak your name all these years, and you have never used your real name with me, what is your name?" ”

The man was embarrassed, he had been chased and fled for so long, and he was indeed very wary of anyone, even if this old man saved him, he never used his real name, but how did this old man know?

"Master, your apprentice's name is Zhao Donglai!"

The old man pouted: "The name is quite imposing, I hope you have the same name as yours, don't be cowardly this time." ”

Zhao Donglai: "No, even if I want to eat, I have to stand and ask for it!" ”

"If you want food, don't tell anyone that you are my apprentice." The old man snorted: "It's not impossible for you to leave and go back, but you have to promise me a few conditions." ”

Zhao Donglai: "You say." ”

Old man: "First, you are not allowed to talk about me to anyone; Second, don't expose the kung fu I taught you, you can use the miscellaneous skills you practiced here, but don't use the kung fu I taught you. ”

Zhao Donglai: "Why? ”

The old man turned his back: "If you don't want to trouble, you'd better listen to me." Also, I've got a tip for opening him when your life is in danger, remember. ”

He threw a bag over to Zhao Donglai.

After Zhao Donglai took it, he was very grateful: "Master, what is your name?" ”

The old man coughed and walked to the kitchen: "I forgot what my name is, go quickly, I don't tell you because I'm afraid you will lose me." ”

Zhao Donglai nodded, and when he walked to the door, he couldn't help but turn around and shout and asked, "Master, I know that you are not born and raised here, this time I will go down as an apprentice, but there is your old friend who needs me to greet Toxin or something?" ”

A shout came from the kitchen: "Lao Tzu is almost 100 years old, there is only my homeland and no old people, get out." ”

Zhao Dong said self-righteously: "Master, why do you want to stay here and not go out? ”

As soon as the words fell, a wooden rice scoop flew over, and Zhao Donglai immediately dodged away and fled.

The old man in the kitchen pulled up the curtains and saw his back, muttering, "Just like you, I've been running away." I hope you don't look like me. ”
