Chapter 117: The Return of the Old Man (12)

The air was filled with the smell of fishy blood.

The water of the Shunxi River is reddish, and the land by the river is soaked in blood, and the drizzle in the air is summoning with wetness.

Yun Ling Xiu stood stunned in place, like a stone statue.

Not far away lay a bloody man with a broken arm and a leg, long gone.

Chu Mo and Jing Qian rushed here and saw such a blood-drenched scene.

"Ling Xiu!"

Chu Mo's heart sank and he called out to him, but the man did not respond.

At a glance, Jing Qian recognized that the bloody man who fell to the ground was Cheng Tianyi, and immediately ran over to hold him in his arms, his face full of disbelief.

"Division... Senior Brother ......"

She stretched out her small hand and gently pushed Cheng Tianyi, who was lying on the ground, so gently, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

"Senior brother... Do you hurt? ”

And the man who had long since lost his life was covered in blood and wounds, and even his right leg was nowhere to be found, and the blood from the broken part had obviously dried up.

The corners of Nettle's lips trembled slightly, tears rolled down, and she called anxiously.

"Senior brother... You... You should give me a treat......"

But the man still didn't respond.

Suddenly, Nettle frantically wiped the blood on Cheng Tian's face, trying to find a piece of intact skin, but to no avail. There was a tearing pain at the mouth of the heart, and the little girl rubbed it, and fell on Cheng Tianyi's chest violently, crying loudly.

The wail disturbed Yun Lingxiu, and he was stunned in place and suddenly his body moved slightly. The black mist was everywhere, and a devil's claw rushed straight towards the nettle, wrapped in a thick killing intent.

The ember beads shook violently, and they glowed black.

Chu Mo didn't have time to think about it, he hugged the piano and stood up, flicked his sleeves, and popped out bursts of pure heart piano sounds, blocking this fatal blow.

The attack was blocked, and Yun Lingxiu turned his head to look. A young girl in an ice-blue dress was standing not far away, with a delicate and small melon seed face, a moth head, and a delicate face.

Those smoky eyes were looking at themselves with sorrow.

And that face... How familiar, déjà vu.

It seems that there are blurry images constantly sticking into my mind. Yun Lingxiu had a splitting headache, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, grabbing his hair in pain, shaking his head frantically, as if he wanted to pour something out of it.

"Ling Xiu!" Seeing this, Chu Mo hurriedly ran towards him.

Yun Lingxiu squinted his eyes painfully and looked back at him obliquely, as if he was confused for a moment. His eyes were surging with violent and manic ferocity, and he offered a palm and hit Chu Mo directly.

That palm was forcibly changed by the master in the end, although it didn't hit Chu Mo, but she was deeply affected by the palm qi, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

“... Walk! ”

Yun Lingxiu, who still had a trace of reason, roared at Chu Mo with difficulty, and was pulled closer to the vortex of chaos by boundless pain.

Chu Mo shook his head, and without hesitation, he went straight up to him and hugged his neck. Being gently hugged by the person in front of him, Yun Lingxiu moaned in pain, and there were bursts of whimpering sounds in his throat, as if he was talking and crying.

Chu Mo hugged the person in front of him, tears rained down, patted his back gently, and softly comforted.

"I know... I know all that..."

Yun Lingxiu writhed violently, and his bones clicked, trying to escape Chu Mo's shackles. Chu Mo hugged him tighter and buried her head in his neck.

"I know your pain... Ling Xiu... But I... I still need you..."

"Do you remember Yang Xingcao? It's the story you told me. ”

"You're good, you've always been good."

…

Chu Mo intermittently chattered about some trivial matters.

Yun Lingxiu suddenly calmed down and stayed quietly in Chu Mo's arms. Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and was about to talk to him.

Yun Lingxiu's scarlet right eye was lowered, exuding a cold and bloodthirsty edge. He curled the corners of his lips, revealing a wicked smile, stretched out his left hand, and stabbed Chu Mo's back very quickly.

In an instant of life and death, a black shadow flashed by, and directly dragged Chu Mo out from front of Yun Lingxiu's body!

The person who came was dressed in a black shirt and a black mask. He quickly pulled out five spells and casually attached them to Yun Lingxiu's body. The spell was different from ordinary spells, it was completely black, and even the red runes on it were messy, and I had never seen it.

He used his fingertips as a pen and scribbled out of thin air, and a circular light array instantly appeared at Yun Lingxiu's feet. As the light array appeared, the people who came also silently chanted the incantation. Within a moment, Yun Lingxiu's body was crooked and he fainted.

"Vulture senior?"

Chu Mo looked at the man's slanted eyes and said in surprise.

Wu Xi nodded and explained, "I was going to the Imperial City, passing through here, fortunately I ......" As he spoke, the corners of Wu Xi's eyes gently swept over the deceased not far away, and a fleeting fluctuation seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes.

"Luckily! Come... Arrived in a timely ......."

The rain still didn't stop, and it was pouring down on everyone. The thin whimper of the stinger continued to pass through the air mist, and there was a sense of desolation and sadness in the air.

The weather was gloomy. Drizzle misty.

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

"He's fine."

Wu Xi sank his eyes, looked at Chu Mo, whose face was pale, and comforted.

After receiving the guarantee, Chu Mo slid on the ground like a loss of strength, and after a while, he slowly moved his body, hugged Yun Lingxiu in his arms, two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and muttered, "It's okay... It's all right..."

"It's okay... Ling Xiu..."

……

Wu Xi said that Yun Lingxiu was in a hurry to attack his heart, and he almost fell into the demon, so his body was weak, and he could sleep for a few days. Chu Mo was relieved.

The three of them buried Cheng Tianyi, and no one spoke, they all knelt in front of the tombstone in a daze, speechless.

"You know what?" She looked at the tombstone in front of her, her eyes blank, "Senior brother has always been a myth in the temple. ”

"When I was a child, there were only a few Eminem, and there were always outsiders who bullied the children in the temple. Either stealing what we have to eat, or harassing Eminem. The children are so young that no one dares to talk much. Jing Qian recalled the past and laughed, "But only senior brother, so thin, but so brave." Even if he was beaten by a bad guy every time he had a blue nose and swollen face, he never flinched! ”

"Later, my brother exercised himself every day to protect us." Nettle wiped the tears that unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Later, he really did it, and defeated those villains in one fell swoop, they will never dare to bully us again!" ”

"Actually, he was only a few years older than us, but he always spoiled us as much as he could, wanting the best for us. Every time he defeated the bad guys, the senior brother would work harder, and he would also go to the martial arts gym in the city to fight boxing to earn silver taels. ”

At that time, he always came back bruised, but he always smiled and took out all kinds of delicious and fun things. He never spoke of pain or pain. Because he knew that the livelihood of the temple depended on him! But I understand that there is no boxing that does not hurt. The senior brother was always in pain and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, but he was reluctant to buy medicine for himself at all. ”

The more she talked, the more chaotic she became, but Wu Xi and Chu Mo still listened seriously, "At that time, every time I went to pick up my senior brother and came back from boxing, he would take me to the restaurant and order a bowl of somen noodles for me. ”

"At that time, I was hungry and always clamoring for noodles. I thought that my brother was a god and could do anything, but I didn't notice that my brother only ordered somen noodles for me! He was tired of the day and was reluctant to order himself a bowl! Nettle's face was full of self-reproach and she began to cry bitterly.

Chu Mo quietly took her into her arms, and she leaned on her and sobbed and said the past.

"Senior brother didn't mean to leave everyone behind! At that time, my senior brother was arguing with others for me, but he met a master and almost broke his tendons, but fortunately, the master passed by and saved him. Only then did we worship and practice under the Master's door together. ”

"But the senior brother always blames himself, and then he didn't share it for Eminem."

She raised her head and looked at the drizzling sky, and she couldn't stop her tears.

"Sister Chu, do you know?"

"Someone once told me that if all the things you had been looking forward to suddenly come true, it would be time to pay a great price. It's parting, it's cruelty. ”

"But I don't want to part..."

The little girl's eyes were hazy with tears and she was full of grief, "I want my brother!" ”

"I don't want to eat the noodles of the restaurant anymore, and I don't want to have my own birthday!"

"I don't want it anymore, can I change my senior brother back!"

"I don't want it anymore......"

……

Hearing this, Wu Xi suddenly turned his back and shrugged his shoulders a few times.

Chu Mo's tears also slowly slipped down her face, and she patted Nettle's head, but she couldn't say a word.

……

The three of them took Yun Lingxiu back to the Liuyun Inn to settle down, and returned to Qingchan Temple together to say goodbye to Eminem and the others.

The children had never seen Cheng Tianyi, and for the first time, they were very surprised in their hearts, so they surrounded him and asked carefully, "Brother Mask... Why didn't Brother Tianyi come back? ”

Wu Xi squatted down gently and said softly, "Brother Tianyi was sent to fight the Yun Demon and save the common people. ”

"Wow!" The children happily clapped their hands and cheered, exclaiming with great reverence, "I knew that Brother Tianyi was the most powerful!" It's a big hero! ”

There are even children who solemnly announced, "We will also be heroes like Brother Tianyi in the future!" ”

"Good!" Listen gently to your child's questions.

Nettle looked at Eminem not far away, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word

It's all in plain sight.

"I've been waiting for him to come back." Two lines of tears slowly flowed from Eminem's thin face, and he forced a smile, "I didn't expect that after many years of absence, he finally returned, but he stayed in this way." ”

Eminem propped up the door frame, stabilized his figure, and muttered, "The old man returned and didn't see you, but I saw the dead returning to their hometown." ”

Return to the dead.

I don't see you, but I see you.

The children didn't understand the meaning of Eminem's words, they just thought that Cheng Tianyi was extremely brave, and he was full of reverence in his heart, cheering and playing with each other, and he was so happy that he couldn't talk.

Eminem looked at these happy children, a smile appeared on his face, but the tears in his eyes became more and more serious, "Ah Cheng has always been an excellent child, no matter what, he will protect everyone." ”

"He has always been a hero in our hearts!"

Wu Xi bowed his head and was silent, but tears slowly flowed from his long eyes under the mask, he clenched his teeth, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by a child at the corner of his clothes.

It's Xiao Hao.

His eyes were innocent and clear, and he asked very seriously, "Brother Mask, has that child returned home safely?" ”

"Huh?" Wu Xi was stunned.

"It's the kid by the river." Xiao Hao gestured seriously, "He has a crippled leg, and Brother Tianyi said that he would send him home." ”

The little child didn't understand anything, but he frowned seriously, pondered to himself, and muttered to himself, "Is his home too far away, so Brother Tianyi didn't have time to come back after sending him home, so he went on a mission?" ”。

"yes!" Wu Xi instantly understood, and said lightly, "That child's home is too far and too far, and he has to walk a long, long way..."
