Chapter 241 The Old Man Who Seeks Death
"Could it be a ghost?" Zhai Xingniang suddenly shuddered and stopped, he turned around and shrank behind Jing Chong.
Jing Chong didn't speak, just slowly held the knife in his hand, he looked ahead, looking extra cautious, the crying voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was tired and couldn't support it, but Jing Chong was still able to clearly capture the location of the sound.
"It should be here!" Jing Chong turned around a sand dune, and walked over the environment of this place also changed, in the desert originally full of yellow sand, there was a ruined wall, this place is like a deserted earth city, the place is not big, due to the perennial wind and sand, the earth city has already changed beyond recognition, some are just some uneven huge stones, these stones should be part of the earth city.
Jing Chong stared and watched around the entire Tucheng for a week, this look was not tight, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, at this time in a ruins dozens of steps away on the opposite side, on top of a stone with a height of five zhang, there was a person standing, because it was dark, he did not see the true face of the person, but he saw the trembling figure and the slightly rickety body that he could judge that it was an old man, even if he was not very old, he was at least sixty years old.
I don't know how he got up, he trembled and looked at a broken stone below, hesitated for a moment and wanted to jump off it.
"Ah, he's looking for death!" Jing Chong thought of this section as soon as the back of his head tightened, how could he not save people when he saw that he was looking for death? Basically, without having time to think about it, Jing Chongfei's figure flew in the direction where the old man was.
He just flew up, and the old man's body also fell, but fortunately, Jing Chong learned the method of resisting the wind, this short flight played a decisive role, just at the moment when the old man was about to land, Jing Chong caught it just right, and his body flipped several times in mid-air, unloading the powerful falling momentum, and then he stood not far away.
Gently put the old man in place, Jing Chong looked at it by the moonlight, this old man was really an old man over sixty years old, the old man looked very rich in silk and satin, although he was a little embarrassed at this time, but he still couldn't hide the rich temperament, at this time he had tears in his eyes, clenched his teeth, and fainted.
Jing Chong lay there flat, stroked his chest and pushed his back, and it took a long time for the old man to relieve his breath, and the old man exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then he woke up from the coma.
"Amount"
The voice was lengthened, and after a long time, the old man groaned and opened his eyes, which were vague at first, and then gradually became clear, and what caught his eye was a black-faced young man, who was not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but the perseverance and weather-beaten face, especially this face was very unfamiliar, and it was easy for people to think about it, so the old man was shocked by reflex, and his arms and feet were forced, and he stood up while jumping.
"What are you going to do?" The old man jumped out of the way, staring at Jing Chong very jealously, in addition to surprise, there was more fear in his eyes.
"Old man, I think you misunderstood, just now I saw you jump down from there, so I rescued you!" Seeing the old man's reaction, Jing Chong didn't care, just spread his hands and said slowly.
"Really, are you sure I'm not dead!" It was clear that the old man had not yet woken up from the predicament he had just had, and his emotions were still a little excited.
At this time, Zhai Xingniang also walked over, she walked to Jing Chong's side and stood down, and at the same time looked at the old man with the gentlest gaze, and said, "Old man, why are you so unable to think about it!"
Zhai Xingniang's questioning undoubtedly reassured the old man, he rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that the two people were real people, he put his mind at ease, and then slumped on the ground and cried out loudly, "Alas, who asked you to save me, now in this world, what kind of vitality is there, I finally decided to die, and was stopped by you people, what are you guys doing, this is good, I have to jump again!"
The old man was crying and saying, he had nothing to love in his life, but what he said was very infuriating, Jing Chong was very unhappy when he heard it, his brows were furrowed, and he was a good person to save people's lives and save the wrong one.
But when he thought that the other party was an old man, his heart softened, and he slowly squatted down, Jing Chong forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and then said, "Old man, ants are still stealing life, let alone living people?
Usually Jing Chong doesn't have so many words, this is also forced, he still has the concept of cherishing the old and pity the poor, after all, he is a child from a mountain village, and he has suffered a lot.
"What do you know? A little hairy child who has not dried up, but there is a silver lining, who the hell wants to die? I have lived so old, I don't know how good it is to live? But in this world, sometimes I want to die and live, I can't help you!" The old man wiped away his tears and stood up slowly, he didn't pay attention to Jing Chong, and walked towards the boulder, "Alas, it's really unlucky, I climbed a stick of incense before I climbed up, so I was tired to death, I finally jumped down, and I was rescued again, why do you say you are so damaged!"
The old man kept muttering, but he was really angry with Jing Chong, but he couldn't cry or laugh, this matter had nothing to do with him, he didn't have himself in the dry, he didn't have himself in the wet, he wanted to die and live.
Jing Chong was angry, he really didn't want to care about it, he was about to leave as soon as he flicked his sleeves.
"The old man is slow!" Instead, Zhai Xingniang trotted up and stopped her hand in front of the old man, and she said with a pious face, " Old man, don't think about it, you can also tell us what you have, you look at the one who saved you just now, don't look at his young age, his skills are extraordinary, just now you fell from such a high place, he can catch you unscathed, you can think of his strength, so let's say the grievances in your heart, if we can help you solve it, we are all happy, if you can't solve it, you will continue to die, absolutely no one will stop you, what do you think?"
Zhai Xingniang's words really played a decisive role, after hearing this, the old man immediately stopped, he slowly turned his head to look at Jing Chong, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and ran over, he didn't want to die, and knelt there for Jing Chong with a poof.
Jing Chong didn't expect such a change, he didn't have time to react, and hurriedly reached out to help the old man, but found that the old man was piled up there, and he couldn't pull it up, "Hero save me, hero save me!"
The old man stretched his voice, as if he was singing a big opera, the atmosphere was just right, Jing Chong himself felt that his nose was sour and almost shed tears, but in his heart it was funny, when did he become a hero again?
"Old man, you get up first, sit down and say slowly, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!" This time Jing Chong's heart also softened, people are not sad or crying, the old man can behave like this, he must have encountered some difficulties, besides, in this wild desert, there is no place to go, being able to help others is also a kind of redemption for himself.
It was only at this time that the old man stabilized his emotions, he slowly sat down in place, wiped his tears, cleared his throat, and then said, "I am a big family in Yuanzhou Heavenly Wolf City!"
As soon as these words came out, Jing Chong immediately became interested, of course he knew what place Yuanzhou was, and he knew even more about what place the wolf city was, which was the core of the entire wolf tribe, and it was also the royal city where the wolf royal family was located, it can also be said that the sky wolf king city was the most prosperous place in the entire wolf tribe, and if he could be counted as a big family there, the identity of this old man was not ordinary.
According to the old man, his surname is Zhang, his name is Zhang Maocheng, and his ancestors have been engaged in trading, from Yuanzhou to Yanzhou, and even outside the wolf clan, the Kunlun City of the empire has come and gone, and the foundation accumulated in several lifetimes is not a few, and in his generation, years of war have also had a huge impact on his family's business.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the old Zhang family avoided the war, but contracted a lot of business, relying on the old capital to live in Yuanzhou is also worry-free, but in recent years, the major forces in the royal city have been contending, some nobles and grandchildren have also harassed the people all day long, Zhang Maocheng also saw that there must be civil strife in the royal city, so for the sake of insurance, he sold all the family property, and withdrew from Yuanzhou with a family of old and young, and dozens of guards.
He heard that the air in the distant Yanzhou was pleasant and relatively calm, and he thought that he was far away from the royal city, so he found a remote place to live in seclusion, and the remaining family members lived in wealth for several generations, and they could come from Yuanzhou, and they were cautious, and there was no peace everywhere along the way, in order to avoid disasters, and for the sake of coveting distance, he gritted his teeth and decided to walk into the Northern Desert.
This walk was a lot of time, but fortunately, they brought a lot of food and drink, and although the conditions were difficult, the journey was peaceful and quiet. But things always backfired, and seeing that the group was about to walk out of the desert, a sudden change occurred.
Speaking of which, during the day today, a group of dozens of people, dozens of peak camel beasts, carrying the things of application to this place, they saw that the ruins and broken walls here are a good place to enjoy the shade, so they relaxed their vigilance and squinted here.
Just squinted, Leng Buding blew a hurricane from the east, blowing smoke and dust shrouded the sky, in the chaos a group of people suddenly came, they were more than fifty people, each riding the donkey-headed wolf known as the desert wind, the donkey-headed wolf came and walked fast, dozens of people not only killed all the guards in the shortest possible time, but also robbed all Zhang Maocheng's belongings, including his family members were also taken away.
Fortunately, he was urinating at the time, and when he found someone coming, he hid, but when he tried to save his family, a group of people disappeared as soon as they slipped away.
Lao Zhangtou stomped his feet and fell asleep, when he woke up, he couldn't find any trace of the bandits, he was helpless alone, how could he fight with this group of bandits, in a hurry, he didn't know what to do, his mind was narrow, he thought of a death!
