The smoke was billowing out, and Shudong was like a sculpture in the flames, solid as a rock, but full of tragedy.

At this moment, Chen Mu finally understood a little.

He understood why Yang Zhaochun and others were willing to give their lives and bear failures and sacrifices again and again.

He understood why so many people chose to follow in the footsteps of Huang Xing and others.

I also understood why Sun Youlin and others would rather "betray" him and help Yang Zhaochun and others.

Because they live at the bottom, they have a deeper understanding of the collapse of this world than Chen Mu.

Although Chen Mu has also experienced various tribulations, this kind of tribulation is like a raging storm, and the people at the bottom are like old cows that have fallen into a lime pond, their skin and flesh are gradually cracked, gradually corroded, and they continue to bear the pain that life is worse than death.

He originally thought that Yang Zhaochun and others were idealists, who wanted to break the old and create the new, and to create a new world.

He originally thought that Qingchang Deshou, Tan Zhonglin and others were also idealists, and he still wanted to maintain the last breath of this dying empire.

It was only then that he realized that he was an idealist himself.

He thought that the wind and rain were smooth and the country and the people were safe, and that the world was peaceful and the sea was clear, and he always thought that as long as the warriors could still practice chivalry and righteousness, and the literati could change their fate through reading, the world would not be too bad.

He knew how strong the patience of this people was, and as long as there was a mouthful of food to eat, even just chaff, they would not raise their hoes and sickles in their hands.

Only then did he know that these people could no longer eat even a mouthful of food.

Although he Chen Mu has gone through hardships, he is still more powerful and powerful than ordinary people.

But even if he is as strong as him, he still can't get rid of this fate, and he still has to bear the pain of losing his relatives and brothers.

He never hated the government from the beginning, and he even thought that if he did not fight against the government, he was protecting the people, and even delusionally wanted to help the officials, that is, he was helping the people.

Even if he wanted to take revenge, he also did a lot of good things that he thought would benefit the country and the people, and all of them were stuffed into Qingchang and others.

But what he didn't expect was that at this moment, he was also forced into such a desperate situation.

He understands Keicho and understands the way of the world, but it is absolutely unforgivable!

When things don't happen to you, you always feel that others are making a big fuss and can't understand it, but when you experience it yourself, you can understand why they are so extreme.

Looking at Shudong, who was still standing proudly in the smoke, Chen Mu desperately held back his tears, because he couldn't let the tears obscure his vision.

He didn't dare to pull Shudong's arm, because the skin on his arm had been pulled off, like a roasted beef leg.

"I'm going to take you away!" Chen Mu stepped forward, bent down, and was about to recite Shudong.

However, Shu Dong pushed Chen Mu away and sat on the ground with his buttocks, seeing that he was about to fall, Chen Mu hurriedly helped him.

Shudong, who didn't know the pain, finally burst into tears at this moment, and said to Chen Mu: "Young master...... It hurts......"

Chen Mu let the tears fall and wanted to touch his head, but his hair had already been burned and his scalp was cracked, so he couldn't touch it at all.

"Young Master...... Give me a good time...... Give me a good time! Shu Dong grabbed Chen Mu's hand and made his first request to Chen Mu since he followed Chen Mu.

The big lion also seems to feel this emotion, and seems to be aware that his master is about to leave this world.

He crouched beside him, gently licking Shu Dong's wound with his tongue, as if to soothe his own kind.

Shu Dong raised the pig-killing knife in his hand, stuffed it into Chen Mu's hand, and said to Chen Mu: "Young master, count me begging you......"

This man who never knew what pain was, a stupid big man who never accepted softness, begged Chen Mu at this time, and the pain he endured can be imagined.

His clothes were all burned, and his flesh and skin were burned off, except for the pig-killing knife in his hand, and a body of bones that were harder than the pig-killing knife!

Chen Mu was carrying this knife, it was very hot, and it was very hot for people, and what made people's hearts and intestines break was that at this time, his nose was full of the smell of barbecue.

Chen Mu is indeed a little indecisive, this is his weakness, and he never denies it, if Yang Dachun is here, he will inevitably end Shudong's pain with one sword.

But he Chen Mu is not Yang Dachun in the end, and at this time, he can finally understand Yang Dachun.

However, Qingchang didn't give him this time at all, and when Chen Mu was still hesitating, those gunmen had already begun to gradually gather!

Chen Mu still has a lot of bullets, but he only has a pistol, and his short-range lethality is undoubted, but the range is very limited, not to mention that he can fight against Qingchang's gunmen alone?

As if hearing the enemy's footsteps, Shu Dong's eyes that were about to be closed suddenly widened in anger, as if he had used all his strength, and blood flowed out of his eyes!

He stood up suddenly, as if burning his soul, squeezing the last of his strength!

"Young Master...... Don't take revenge on me! ”

Chen Mu's heart was about to break.

Although Shu Dong looked rough, his mind was very delicate, he followed Chen Mu's side, knowing that Chen Mu was tormented by hatred, and knew what Chen Mu had paid for revenge.

I also know that if Chen Mu avenges him, he will fall into the original state again, and this time the enemy is even stronger than before!

Even when he was dying, he still thought about Chen Mu, this man who rarely spoke, had no less friendship for Chen Mu than Honglian and others.

"For ...... Why ......" Chen Mu didn't expect him to ask such a question.

But he really didn't understand.

Shu Dong is not like Lu Shengwu, Lu Shengwu and the Chen family, or Chen Mu's entanglement is too deep, involving the love of the previous generation, Lin Sheng is Chen Mu's father, and Honglian and others are unforgettable love with Chen Mu.

Shu Dong is just a rough man, and his earlier acquaintance was not too pleasant, and even in his daily interactions, even Chen Mu himself realized and was willing to admit that compared to Shu Dong, he was closer to Sun Youlin and others.

This stupid big guy is not good at words, and it is easy to ignore.

But why did he do this?

Shu Dong straightened his waist vigorously, facing the approaching enemy, and only replied in a low voice.

"I'm an orphan and I want to have a ......"

"Maybe you don't think of me as family, but after following you, you are my home......"

He turned his head and smiled at Chen Mu, because his lips were burned, this smile was even more ugly than before.

He said to Chen Mu: "Because...... I'm still a kid......"

Chen Mu couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and stepped forward with an arrow step, and was about to carry Shudong strongly, but Shudong pushed Chen Mu away!

"Young Master...... Walk! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was already roaring and running!

Smoke was still coming from his body, and every step he took, the trembling it brought, shook the blood and flesh off his body.

He was like a divine beast reborn from the ashes, rushing towards Keicho's spear team!

Qingchang stood on a high place, seeing this scene, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the gunners watched silently one by one, they held guns in their hands, aiming at this man, their hands were already wet with sweat, and the handles of the guns were slippery.

No one fired a shot.

Because Shudong was halfway through the run, he gradually slowed down, and then there was a pop.

Fell.

Chen Mu wiped away his tears and glanced at Qingchang, who was hiding in a high place, as if he saw the ugly man through the billowing smoke.

"Roar!"

The great lion seemed to sense the departure of its master, and with a roar and roar, it rushed out!

"Don't go!" Chen Mu made a lightning move and grabbed the tail of the big lion.

However, the furious lion has lost control, and when he turns around, he swings his claws!

Chen Mu dodged, and the big lion had already crashed into the gunman's team like a black wind!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunshots rang out again, and the front was in chaos again, and even bullets kept flying past Chen Mu's side!

Chen Mu didn't stay any longer, turned around and ran.

He couldn't see the direction clearly, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he just held his strength and ran frantically.

Because when he runs, the wind will dry the tears in the corners of his eyes.

"I'm still a child......" Shu Dong's words before his death made Chen Mu realize that this lion boy was actually not much older than himself.

Maybe he didn't invest too much, but this young man longed to get a home and regarded Chen Mu and the others as family.

If he hadn't been in a desperate situation today, maybe Chen Mu wouldn't have known what was going on in this young man's mind.

He was very remorseful, if he could have paid more attention on weekdays, he would not have been so regretful.

He does regard the people around him as brothers, but this seemingly noble emotion is always too general.

Chen Mu, who had mixed feelings in his heart, his emotions were entangled with each other, his body was tired, and his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know how long he had been running, only that the sky was gradually darkening.

His legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them up.

His body seemed to be completely hollowed out, and there was a fire burning in his chest, but it couldn't illuminate his inner world.

In a trance, Chen Mu's feet seemed to be stepping on clouds, and suddenly they were suspended in the air!

This feeling of hanging in the air is like being in a dream, maybe it's just a moment, or maybe it's a long night.

I don't know what happened to my back, as if I had been crushed by an angry herd of elephants.

Immediately after, his head, hands and feet, and his body were all scratched by the collision, and he didn't know where he had rolled down, and his soul seemed to be suspended in his body, rolling all over the place.

Chen Mu just held the pig-killing knife tightly, and even looked more important than the dragon head stick on his body!

"Poof!"

The sound hit his ears, and then a buzz sounded, and a cold feeling came from all sides, completely drowning Chen Mu.

The icy cold water invaded from his mouth and nose, and Chen Mu, who had exhausted his strength, instinctively used the breathing method of Yin and Yang Ginseng, just like retreating in a cave with Lu Shengwu, and chose to hold his breath until he completely lost consciousness.

At the moment before losing his sobriety, Chen Mu had only one thought left.

Why did those who were close to him end up like this?

Maybe it's not that God doesn't want to see him, but because of his Chen Mu's character, because of his indecisiveness, because of his kindness as a woman, because he is not strong enough, not ruthless enough, and not decisive enough!

If it weren't for that, these people wouldn't have died.

Their death is ultimately to blame on his Chen Mu's head!

Once this thought sprung up, Chen Mu finally gave up resistance and fell into darkness completely.
