Chapter 9 Live up to the trust (ask for collection and recommendation)
The associated town was in a mess, when Li Lao went out with the militia to resist, Huchuan sneaked up here with robbers, and the number of robbers was not large, but it was definitely not something that these rural villagers could resist. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The robbers swept from house to house, killed people and set fires, plundered, houses collapsed, and fires rose.
It was useless for the militia to rush back, Huchuan could easily shoot them with a random arrow, and it was not until Cheng Su could not resist that Huchuan went to support.
And when Cheng Su died and Huchuan left, these robbers left in a panic, and most of the militia had lost their lives at this time.
On both sides of the road were villagers fighting fires and rescuing people, crying incessantly, crying fathers, crying mothers, or crying orphans.
Those who are alive are not glad in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
Liu Yang couldn't bear to see this scene, carried the bag, quickened his pace, and entered the Companion Pavilion.
Li Lao was lying on a small wooden bed on the third floor, Xiao Sheng's eyes were red and swollen, and he stood aside and waited.
"Old man, the medicine is back, I'll make it for you myself." Liu Yang smiled, in this sad and depressing atmosphere, even breathing felt a little heavy.
Li Lao tried very hard to open his eyes, he had already lost weight to a skinny appearance, like a dried corpse that was about to die.
No one could believe that a few days ago, this was still a spirited and high-spirited old man.
"Boil the medicine... Let the whisper go..."Li Lao opened his mouth, and the intermittent words almost popped out of his mouth word by word.
Xiao Sheng glanced at Liu Yang, took the bag, and went out unwillingly.
"Old man, what is this for? Confession of last words? Liu Yang quipped.
Li Lao didn't answer, carefully took out a piece of black cloth wrapped in something from his arms, and handed it over tremblingly.
Liu Yang opened it and saw that it was an ancient book with some yellowing, and the words on the cover had become a little blurred due to the passage of time.
Liu Yang was curious, "What is this?" ”
"Sacrifice..."Li Lao coughed, "the only book of sacrifice." ”
"Sacrifice!" Liu Yang jumped up in shock and almost got the ancient book out of his hand.
He didn't hear Huchuan's words, the sacrifice looked powerful, but it was at the cost of burning essence blood, and Li Lao became like this, just because of this sacrifice.
"Put it away!" Li Lao shouted lightly.
The pair of lifeless eyes stared at Liu Yang straight, but he had always been straightforward, and he still couldn't help but say: "I really don't understand, you are a dignified silver companion, why do you live in this small mountain village, willing to protect those rural villagers, and even do not hesitate to give your life." ”
Li Lao didn't answer, just leaned on the bed, panting.
Looking at his appearance, Liu Yang became more and more angry in his heart, "Old man, is it worth it!" ”
"Forty years ago, no, thirty years ago?" Li Lao's eyes were deep, and he seemed to have fallen into a long memory, and he squeezed out a smile, "I was chased and killed by the enemy, I was seriously injured, and fell into a coma, it was Xiao Sheng's parents who saved me, and I still remember their appearance." ”
Li Lao paused, "I promised them that I would take good care of Xiao Sheng and protect the companion town." ”
Bang, the medicine pot in Xiao Sheng's hand fell to the ground, and he stood by the door, looking at Li Lao, with a look of disbelief.
Liu Yang finally knew why Li Lao loved Xiao Sheng so much, and all the previous unhappiness disappeared at this time, it was the child of his life-saving benefactor, and he regarded it as his own child.
Li Lao beckoned to Xiao Sheng, who hesitated and came to the bedside.
The hand like a dry corpse touched Xiao Sheng's cheek, and Li Lao rarely showed a touch of love, "Huchuan will not come back in a short time, I will not be there in the future, I hope you can guard the town for me." ”
Liu Yang wanted to speak and stopped, Huchuan's strength is obvious to all, just with him and Xiao Sheng, they are by no means opponents, and their own lives are not guaranteed, so what can they do to protect the town?
He was reluctant in his heart, looking at Li Lao's appearance, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Promise me, keep the town!"
"Teacher, don't worry, I will defend my life!" Xiao Sheng had tears in his eyes and roared.
"Silly boy, the town wants it, and the life needs it." Old Li leaned forward, but his eyes were staring at Liu Yang deadly.
Liu Yang was silent, and after a long time, he said: "Old man, don't worry, as long as my strength is enough, I will definitely guard your town." ”
Although he could not be a self-sacrificing person, it did not affect his admiration and admiration for this kind of person, and in the era when faith was lost in his previous life, this spiritual wealth was even more valuable in his eyes.
Of course, if his strength is not enough, if he encounters Huchuan again, he can only abandon the town and save himself first.
Li Lao glanced at Liu Yang, as if he could see through his mind at a glance.
He took out an object from his bosom and put it beside the bed, "This is the sect token of the Qingzhou Great Sect Heavenly Star Sect, with this token, you can enter the Heavenly Star Sect." ”
It was a square, carved token, dark and simple, with two large characters engraved on the front: Heavenly Star.
Although Liu Yang had never heard of the Heavenly Star Sect, the four words of Qingzhou Great Sect were extremely weighty, and looking at the palm-sized token, he couldn't help but have fiery eyes.
Any traverser, entering a certain big sect is the first step to marry Bai Fumei and embark on the pinnacle of life, thinking that he has been mixed in a remote and backward village for more than ten years, doing nothing, it is really a shame for the traverser.
Now that the opportunity is in front of him, is he finally going to run the time?
Thinking of the happy life he dreamed of in the future, Liu Yang couldn't help grinning, and the depression in his heart was also diluted a little.
"Teacher! Teacher! Xiao Sheng's eager voice came, and Liu Yang hurriedly looked over, but saw that Li Lao's eyes were dilated and his breathing was extremely short.
"Medicine! Medicine! Liu Yang hurriedly said, "You go to boil medicine, I'll go and ask for a doctor!" ”
"No need!" Elder Li sat up, looking as bright as he returned, and his eyes returned to clarity.
He looked up at the sky, seemed to see something, and showed a smile, "Brother Xiao Feng, Li Qiuming lives up to his trust!" ”
Live up to your trust! Live up to your trust!
Liu Yang's heart was shocked, and the whole room seemed to reverberate with the four words that lived up to his trust, and Li Lao's voice was full of it, and in a trance, it became a gentle female voice, which made Liu Yang feel cordial and so familiar.
He looked around blankly, and saw the lifeless Li Lao, the crying Xiao Sheng on the side, and the noisy sadness outside the attic seemed to rush in.
As if something was about to come out of his head, there were bursts of stinging pain, Liu Yang covered his head with both hands, fell to his knees, and only felt a splitting headache.
He stood up, stumbled again, and hit Xiao Sheng's body, his brain exploded as if it exploded, and in Xiao Sheng's exclamation, Liu Yang fell straight down......
Memories flashed like a slideshow:
the majestic hall of resplendent gold, the dignified gold-armored guards;
The maids shuttled like clouds, all of them were young and beautiful, like fairies;
The young child was wearing a yellow robe, kneeling on the ground, Liu Yang's face could be vaguely seen, he looked up curiously, and crossed the high steps, there was a tall figure on the dragon chair, wearing a crown, and a long tassel covering his face.
Tens of millions of people knelt three times and knocked nine times, and the tsunami-like long live of the mountains and the sound vibrated the world, like the power of heaven.
The slightly emaciated figure bowed but did not kneel, the voice was like a bell, Liu Yang tried his best, but he couldn't hear what he said;
A short and fat man held yellow silk in his hand, and the voice of a male duck was vaguely heard, "Abolish the king, demote to the marquis, give the name Yang ......"
The young child knelt in front of the sickbed and swore firmly to the sky, "Rest assured, the queen mother will definitely take back what belongs to our family." ”
The gentle and beautiful woman had tears in her eyes, "My son will definitely live up to the trust." ”
Live up to your trust!
Liu Yang was shocked and sat up from the bed, he hadn't had this dream for many years.
He clenched his hands and realized that his eyes were filled with tears......
As the guardian of Companion Town, Li Lao's funeral was extremely simple.
He had made a wish early on that his body would be cremated after his death, and his ashes would be scattered throughout the town.
He has been guarding the town all year round, and he seems to have a premonition of this day.
There were not many people who came to see him off, and Li Lao's death was tantamount to bad news for the villagers, but there were many people whose families were ruined, and a fire in Huchuan turned half of the town into ashes.
Rescue, treatment, repair and other work need to be carried out, Xiao Sheng handled it all in an orderly manner, in Liu Yang's opinion, in some ways he even looked like the shadow of Li Lao.
Three days later, Xiao Sheng personally handed over a package to Liu Yang.
A change of clothes, some silver coins, a token of the Heavenly Star Sect, and a quaint black staff.
"Aren't you going to the Heavenly Star Sect?" Liu Yang held the token, a little hesitant, after a side by side battle outside the town, the mustard between him and Xiao Sheng had long been eliminated.
There was only one token, and there was only one quota for the Heavenly Star Sect, and when some of the memories hidden in his mind gradually revealed a corner, Liu Yang's desire to improve his strength became more and more intense.
He had to go to the Heavenly Star Sect, and he was even ready to have another competition with Xiao Sheng.
"I'm not as good as you," Xiao Sheng said calmly.
This really didn't seem like something that came out of Xiao Sheng's mouth, Liu Yang was surprised, and could only attribute the reason to this great change.
"It's already autumn, and when it comes to winter, the snow will cover the mountains, and the horse bandits won't make any big moves, we can go together." Liu Yang was silent for a moment and said.
Although there is only one token, his invitation is sincere, he has always respected me, and I have always been a foot.
Xiao Sheng waved his hand, "Someone has to stay and guard the town." ”
He had always coveted Li Lao's position in the past, cautious and flattering, but he didn't expect to find out in the end that Li Lao was just the "housekeeper" of the town, and he kept the town for him temporarily.
This is the town of his parents, and it is also the companion town of Li Lao, and from now on, it will be his town.
Liu Yang is right, the next arrival of the horse bandits is likely to be a year later, and this time the vitality will be greatly damaged, maybe it will be longer.
If he was the timid and scared man, he might choose to go with Liu Yang, but when he knew that this town was left to him by his parents, he only had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he understood Li Lao a little.
He would never allow any more accidents in this town.
Xiao Sheng didn't seem to be a fake, Liu Yang knew it at a glance, he sighed secretly in his heart, and no longer persuaded, "This staff is also the old man's." ”
This quaint staff, even when held in the hand, has a feeling of being absolutely extraordinary.
"It's the teacher's, you can take it with you, when you get to the Heavenly Star Sect, maybe I can help you."
Liu Yang finally believes that human nature is inherently good, even if it is as unruly as Xiao Sheng, there is such a good side.
Mother-in-law and mother have never been his character, he looked solemn and arched his hand: "In a year, I will come back to avenge the old man!" Hate for the town! ”
"Companion Town will always need a Silver Companion." Xiao Sheng smiled, both a blessing and a promise.
ps: I hope that book friends will one day ride the wind and waves, show their ambitions, and live up to their trust!
