Chapter 4: A Quiet Village
For mortals, the night represents pitch black, and no brilliance is visible to the naked eye. For the prophet Marzahar www.biquge.info what has been shrouded in dark clouds is certainly not the truth, the truth exists beyond the planet, in the vast void.
Just now, Malzaha, who was meditating in the tower, suddenly felt a void power, which came from the south, and made him feel extremely comfortable and friendly. But as the most famous star sorcerer in the Valoran Continent, Marzaha will not easily believe that so-called cordiality means beauty. On the contrary, from his stargazing speculation day and night, he could have a hunch that there seemed to be an incomparably huge void beast coiling beyond the void, and they all seemed to be eyeing the planet they were on, which was the source of his fear day and night!
On the top of the tower, Marzaha, dressed in purple, looked at the sky silently, his face full of worry: "I don't know if what I see is true, but as a star warlock, if he perceives danger and doesn't know it, it means that his star journey is about to end!" Maybe I should go south and see what's going on there? β
Another day passed, and the hungry and thirsty Hua Li Lang finally stayed away from the dark altar. Looking at the golden arrow that was so faint that it was invisible on the virtual light bar, Hua Li Lang finally breathed a long sigh of relief!
"This place is so far away from the mission site, there must be no danger! Let me take a good rest, find a calm place to chop and slash mobs first, mix up some experience, and upgrade to a level first! Hua Li Lang thought happily in his heart, but his stomach rolled out of place.
I walked a little more with my stomach in my arms, and finally when it was almost dark, I saw a small village.
The village is built on the edge of a small river, and there is a big waterwheel in the river, and many bamboo rafts are parked next to the waterwheel, and many bamboo buildings are built on the bank. On both sides of the river are cultivated farmland, and the farmland is planted with green crops. Just under the old soaphorn tree at the entrance of the village, smoke was already rising from the low houses.
Walking through the fields, Hua Lilang finally saw a very narrow dirt road, the path was winding, and he didn't know where it led. Holding the wooden stick, Hua Li Lang limped to the thick and strong soaphorn tree at the entrance of the village, and suddenly a dog barked, and the earth dog that didn't know where to rush out of nowhere, bared its teeth and yelled at Hua Li Lang.
Hua Li Lang, who had already suffered from this beast before, was deeply guarded, and he looked at it with a wooden stick, and warned it: "You'd better not come here!" I'm amazing! β
The earth dog barked, not heeding Hua Li Lang's warning, and jumped over as soon as he jumped over. Hua Li Lang was shocked, glared angrily and knocked down with a mallet. With a bang, the earth dog was beaten squarely, and ran backwards with his tail between his legs. Hua Li Lang saw that he had successfully repelled the enemy army, and when he was smiling and straightening his waist, a group of little children ran out of the village, and a group of people shouted and surrounded Hua Li Lang in the middle, and a large child said to Hua Li ****: "Where are you a homeless man!" Why play florets? β
"Tramp?" Hua Li Lang was stunned and looked down at what he was wearing. I saw a breeze blowing, a cool breeze, and a few pieces of rotten cloth wrapped around my body, which couldn't cover my wonderful body at all.
In the tattered trouser legs, the leg hair on his foot pole swayed lightly in the wind, Hua Li Lang shook his hair and glanced at the child: "I'm not a bum!" β
The child didn't listen to Hua Li Lang's explanation at all, and shouted at him loudly: "Get out!" Get out! β
Hua Li Lang's face changed sharply, and he wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw only a group of children, he sighed in his heart, turned around and prepared to leave the village.
"Maybe I'm not from this world, and it's hard to fit into this world." Thinking so in his heart, Hua Li Lang walked out weakly.
After walking a few steps, a sudden shout came from behind: "Wait...... Youngster. β
Hua Li Lang turned his head to look, only to see an old grandmother pushing away the group of children who were walking towards him, Hua Li Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked, "You called me?" β
The old lady smiled and nodded, and greeted him with her hand: "It's so dark, and it's not safe outside, so let's come to the village and stay for the night!" β
Hua Li Lang was a little moved in his heart, but his mouth was still stubborn: "Explain in advance, first, I am not a vagabond, and second, I have no money!" β
"When you're away from home, everyone has inconvenient times. If they can stay in their hometown, who wants to wander around? Come with me into the village! After the old grandmother finished speaking, she walked back with a club, and the group of children around her surrounded her, and said gossipingly: "Aunt Alimu, why do you want to take in these strangers, he injured Xiaohua, he is definitely not a good person." β
"What do you know about children?"
β¦β¦
After being silent for a while, Hua Li Lang finally followed them into the village. There are many large nets in the village, many villagers are sitting at the door of their houses cleaning the fish with wooden barrels, and some villagers with bows and arrows and wooden guns are walking towards the watchtower outside the village.
The old grandmother walked very slowly, and the surrounding villagers greeted her warmly, Hua Li Lang followed him, listening to her say slowly: "Over the years, Noxus has been invading our country, and many people have lost their homes and wandered around. Since the loss of Almu, we have not been so peaceful, and we have to arrange for manned guards every night, maybe it is really the Noxian troops attacking, these are useless, but what can be done? β
Listening to the grandmother's story along the way, Hua Li Lang was very calm. When she walked to the door of the house, the old grandmother entered the house and beckoned Hua Li Lang to enter.
Hua Li Lang probed around, the house was not big, but it was clean, and there were not many utensils in the house, but they were neatly placed. The old grandmother saw Hua Li Lang looking into the room and explained to him: "I have three sons, and there are spiritual tablets of my two sons, who both joined the army and died on the battlefield. There is one son left, who is now on guard outside. You can call me Aunt Alim, what's your name? Stranger. β
"My name is Hua Li Lang, you can call Ah Lang. I come from the far east. Hua Li Lang replied.
"I see, your name is strange."
"Actually, what I'm curious about is, aren't you afraid that I'm from Noxus?"
"The troops of Noxus are brutal, but their people are very pitiful, they have to pay countless taxes every year, and many of them are forced to live, so they run to our country, these are normal."
"I see."
"You must be hungry, let's eat something first!"
By the dim light, Hua Li Lang was biting a piece of steamed bun, and there was a steaming bowl of soup in front of him, with a few small fish in it, and some cauliflower floating on it. These things are some very simple things, it can be seen that Aunt Alim's family will not be very rich, but eating these very simple foods, Hua Li Lang suddenly experienced an unprecedented fulfillment, that feeling is like the previous life, when he was young, he followed his single mother to eat water spinach porridge accompanied by a few sour radish.
I don't know how far away that day was, and even in his previous life, he had almost forgotten it. Because his mother died before he finished high school, and he had to drop out of school because of his good grades, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was trapped in the day and night work with the wave of migrant workers.
Work, this meal, sleep...... Occasional hack and slash game.
It was so natural that it became a generation of diao silk.
Perhaps each Diao Silk does not know when they became Diao Silk, and when they find out, they have become a member of Diao Silk. Every diaofilament is pitiful and pathetic, but helpless.
I took a big bite of the bun hard, picked up the fish soup and poured it a few bites, and some moist things in my eyes had already been emitted with the wind. Holding the empty plate and looking at the old woman in the candlelight, Hua Li Lang smiled and asked, "Is there anything else?" β
The old woman smiled happily, she took the bowl of Hua Li Lang, and said, "Yes! Yes! I'll give it to you. β
The old woman's pace was fast, and she hurriedly filled Hua Li Lang with another bowl, watching Hua Li Lang gobble up in front of her, and the smile on the old woman's face never fell. Her wrinkles, in the dim candlelight, were bottomless; Her gaze left a deep imprint on Hua Li Lang's silent heart.
That simple, happy, kind old woman.
The tired day finally passed, and he was able to take a hot bath comfortably, and then lie on the warm bed with his eyes wide open and thinking wildly, Hua Li Lang felt a long-lost sense of happiness. ββIt's really simple.
Looking at the wooden ceiling overhead, Hua Li Lang finally forgot about invincibility, forgot about crossing, forgot about the troubles before crossing, and forgot about the trembling heart after crossing.
The impetuous mind finally quieted down, and that night he forgot all about the mysterious system he carried.
