Chapter 141: Sacrifice
"Speaking of this Qingfeng, this old god stick, he studied under the Tai Chi concept, the door of the empty Taoist, became famous martial arts for Tai Chi, paid attention to the symbiosis of yin and yang, and was harmonious, and his biggest interest in life was to tell fortunes to others, although the calculation was not accurate, but he was never tired of it." After throwing out a roll of his eyes, the old beggar continued.
"However, although he is a fortune teller who can't calculate accurately, he has a chivalrous heart, and he feels that he will go to manage things that he can't see, and his personality is more impulsive, and he doesn't like to have anything to do with people in the government, and he likes to be free." After the old beggar said the meeting, he glanced at the Warring States with that look, as if to say, put away your careful thoughts, you can't pull this person.
"As for his apprentice, I don't know much, I only know that he is a child adopted by the old god stick, his family's surname is Liu, his double name is too strong, and he is very talented in martial arts, plus the old god stick teaches every day, his strength will not be too bad." After the old beggar finished talking about the old man, he pointed to the young man in the photo and spoke.
"So in your opinion, is it possible for him, an apprentice, to join our navy?" At this time, the Warring States heard that the strength of the apprentice of the god stick was also good, and he thought in his heart that if the strength in the mouth of the old beggar could have a good evaluation, then the strength should not be lower than the current rear admiral, and looking at the photo, this person's age is only in his twenties at most, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, so he asked this question.
"This is actually still hopeful, this Liu Tailie, his personality is the same as his name, very impulsive and eventful, and because he has been with the old god stick for a long time, the old god stick's jealousy and hatred have a great impression on him." Regarding the question of the Warring States, the old beggar also knew what he was asking himself for, so he just glanced at the Warring States and helped him analyze it, after all, he said that his future wine would be settled.
After hearing the old beggar's explanation, Warring States nodded, wrote down this young man, and wanted to try to pull him into the navy when he met in the future, the current navy can really be said to be seeking wealth, you must know that the current naval strength fault is too powerful, especially in the new generation, there are only one or two people who can take the shot, if you wait for your abdication in the future, the navy will be in a very embarrassing situation.
"And what about this?" After understanding the clear breeze of the Chinese god stick, Sengoku pointed to another photo and asked the old beggar, the person on this one is also one of the five unique existences that the old beggar said just now.
I saw that the person in this photo, wearing a gray robe, with a slight rickety on his back, and a mixed iron cane in his hand, one foot was standing on the ground, and the other foot was indeed broken from the thigh, and at the same time, there were many scars on his face, and his hair was also very thin, only two or three were floating on his head, and the whole person looked very vicious.
"Looking at his appearance, I also know that this person is the northern corner of the Five Uniques, but this person, don't think about pulling him into the navy or anything, he himself is the son of a prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, because he was persecuted by his son-in-law, he became like this, although he is not full of malice towards the world, but if you want him to work for the government organization, it is basically impossible." The old beggar looked at the person in the photo, and there was obviously some disgust in his eyes, but this disgust quickly disappeared, and he was not discovered by the Warring States and others.
"Okay, I'll just talk about it here, the others are just small characters, I don't need to say more." After saying this, the old beggar directly picked up the wine bottle next to him and walked out towards the company.
"Karp, what do you think after hearing this?" After Sengoku watched the old beggar go out, he turned back to Battle Karp and asked.
"......" Karp only glanced at Sengoku's inquiry, and then continued to eat his doughnuts, without any expression of opinion.
For Karp's appearance, in fact, it was expected by the Warring States, after all, he has known Karp for decades, what he looks like, he still understands, and the opinion I just wanted to ask him was just Mizuguchi's words, and I didn't expect him to say anything.
Ignoring Karp's attitude, Sengoku fell into deep thought when he returned to his seat.
......
At this time, the wind and snow do not stop all year round, and the Drum Island, near the sea, is on the harbor.
Locke's phantom pirate ship has been coming to this place for a while, and at this time, Locke and the others have already disembarked from the ship except for Yun Zhinan and Panda, who need to guard the ship, and go to the island to buy supplies and adventure.
Only Carmen did not follow the others to other places this time, but consciously followed behind Locke.
When the two of them came to the shore, they did not go far, but not far from the shore, swept away a layer of snow, revealing the ground that had been frozen hard.
After sweeping away the snow, Locke set aside the blood-colored coffin that had been carrying his back all along, and took out a handful of yellow paper and an opened bottle of wine in his hand.
Then he used his ability to set the paper on fire, and put it on the ground and still burned it, and he himself sat directly on the ground, looking at the burning paper intently, not knowing what he was thinking.
And Carmen, who had been following behind him, didn't do much when he saw Locke like this, but quietly accompanied him like this.
I remember the first time I saw Locke like this, Carmen asked Locke what he was doing, and Locke's explanation was that he was only doing this to pay tribute to those who had died, hoping that those relatives who had gone to Heaven could feel his longing for them.
So later, on this day of April 5th, Carmen would accompany Locke to burn paper for those dead relatives to show her nostalgia.
Locke's mind is very messed up now, and before this day comes, Locke is surprisingly silent, because he burns paper not to pay tribute to his dead relatives as he told Carmen, but to pay tribute to himself who lives on the earth in the 21st century, the life that will never return, and the relatives who don't know if he can see them in this life.
Light the homemade fragrance, look at the green smoke that slowly rises, and the faint fragrance that diffuses as the incense is ignited.
"The melancholy and distant charm is a distant and untouchable sorrow, like a faint cloud and a lonely moon, and you can only look at the distance of the end of the world." Locke whispered slowly.
Sensing Locke's depressed mood, Carmen squatted down slightly and put Locke's hand in her palm, as if to tell him that she would be with him no matter what.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional." Looking at Carmen's appearance, the corners of Locke's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile that was still quite warm, and the reader Carmen said.
