Chapter 184 Travel
Everyone helped Su Jie bury Chen Xinlan and Su Jun together, and then they dispersed to rebuild their homes. While Ye Ye was taking care of the unconscious Su Lianyu, he had to pay attention to Su Jie, who had been kneeling in front of his parents' graves, and he had no intention of thinking about other things at all.
Three days later, Su Lianyu, who had recovered from taking Bailing Pill, finally woke up. But her eyes were extremely empty, and even when she faced Ye Ye, she no longer had a trace of waves.
Ye Ye sighed, and after hesitating for a moment, he still told her the reason for the slaughter of the Sword Gate and the news of Chen Xinlan's suicide. Su Lianyu finally had a trace of expression on her face after hearing this, and then followed Ye Ye to the tombs of Su Jun and Chen Xinlan and was silent for a long time.
When the sun was setting, the sky was covered with red glow, and everything seemed to be about to go away, Su Lianyu finally turned her head to look at Ye Ye, and said calmly in an unprecedentedly calm tone: "Shao, Ye Ye, can I ask you for one last thing?"
She instinctively wanted to call Ye Ye as the young master, but when she thought that the original Ye Ye was no longer there, she hurriedly changed her name to call Ye Ye.
"Of course, I'll help you with anything!"
A trace of loneliness flashed in Ye Ye's eyes after hearing Su Lianyu's title, but he immediately raised his spirit and replied to Su Lianyu.
Su Lianyu turned her head to look at Su Jie, who was still kneeling in front of the tomb, and solemnly pleaded with Ye Ye: "I hope you can settle the villagers of Huaxi Village for me, and it is best to bring them all to Lingcheng to settle down." Especially Su Jie, I don't want him to be hurt a little more. Although Hong Yan and the others are dead, if the rest of the Sword Casting Sect or even the Zhenxian Sect arrives, Huaxi Village will still be destroyed, so they can't be allowed to stay here. ”
Because the villagers of Huaxi Village have never been to the outside world, the surviving villagers do not understand their current situation and plan to stay in Huaxi Village to rebuild their homes. If left unchecked, there is a good chance that Huaxi Village will be purged again, and the enemies who attack Huaxi Village will be even stronger than Hong Yan and the others.
Ye Ye understood Su Lianyu's worries, and he also heard another meaning from Su Lianyu's words, so he hurriedly asked her nervously, "What about you, don't you go back with us?"
Su Lianyu's eyes wandered, and she glanced at Ye Ye with a complicated gaze, and then shook her head slightly, and replied in a soft but firm voice: "In my life, I have never been so eager to know what this world is like now. Why do people live and why do they die? The answers to these questions may only be understood by me after careful understanding. ”
Although Su Lianyu was right in front of him, Ye Ye felt that the distance between the two had never been so far. Inexplicably, he began to have some disappointment in himself, but he didn't know where this disappointment came from, so his heart was full of confusion and hesitation.
"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to go to the True Virtuous Sect for revenge. In the troubled times, people who have a similar experience to me don't know how to know, and I am lucky to be alive. I just suddenly felt that there might be a richer meaning to live, so I wanted to explore and experience it!"
Seeing that Ye Ye didn't answer, Su Lianyu thought that he was worried that he was going to do something stupid, so he continued to explain a few words.
Ye Ye opened his mouth, wanting to keep the other party, but he couldn't say a word when the words came to his mouth. In the end, he nodded solemnly and swore to Su Lianyu: "I will take Su Jie and them back to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, as long as the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce is still in the day, the villagers of Huaxi Village will be fine!"
"Well, thank you!"
Su Lianyu smiled lightly at Ye Ye, then turned around and walked into the distance, and soon disappeared into the distant sky with the sunset.
Ye Ye was stunned, and for the first time in his heart, he felt an unprecedented sense of emptiness.
But he remembered the agreement with Su Lianyu, and after seeing Su Lianyu leave, he turned his head to Su Jie, who was still kneeling in front of the grave, and said, "Let's go, we should also go on the road!"
Although Su Jie is young, he is not without his own ideas. After hearing Ye Ye's urging, he was silent for a moment, and then shook his head.
"Uncle, you take the people in the village and leave here, I plan to go around alone and grow up as fast as possible!"
Although his voice was faint and even tinged with a hint of fear, when he said it, his expression became extremely determined.
I heard the conversation between Su Lianyu and Ye Ye just now, and the idea of traveling abroad also took root in Su Jie's heart. Although he is still young, because of Ye Ye's help, Su Jie already has the cultivation of the martial arts realm, so it is not impossible to make a living on his own.
Ye Ye's face was surprised when he heard his words, he squatted down and looked into Su Jie's eyes and said, "You want to become strong as soon as possible, and then avenge your parents and the dead people in the village?"
Although Su Jie's mother, Chen Xinlan, warned Su Jie not to take revenge before she died, the young Su Jie suddenly suffered such great grief that revenge was almost his only outlet, and it was understandable that he couldn't listen to it. But Ye Ye didn't expect his determination to take revenge to be so strong, and he didn't intend to let himself relax in the first place.
If I can't even do this, what's the point of living? Thank you uncle for helping me awaken my martial spirit, and after I take revenge, I will be a cow and a horse to repay your kindness!"
Su Jie's eyes showed a look of determination, and after speaking, he turned around and planned to kowtow solemnly to Ye Ye.
However, as soon as he was about to lean down, he found that he could not move at all, and a panicked expression appeared on his face. After a while, he finally raised his head and looked at Ye Ye, as if he wanted to get some answer from Ye Ye's face.
Ye Ye waved his hand at Su Jie, and Su Jie's whole person immediately stood up slowly under the control of Yuan Li. This made Su Jie feel horrified, and at the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of Ye Ye's power.
"As soon as your sister-in-law left, did you want to be self-reliant? You are just a child, how much growth can you gain even if you practice everywhere? Let's go back to Lingcheng with me, the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce has any resources you need for cultivation, and it will not let your cultivation stagnate!"
Ye Ye didn't blame Su Jie, he just touched Su Jie's head and patiently persuaded him.
But Su Jie's personality was more stubborn than Ye Ye imagined, he only hesitated a little after listening to Ye Ye's persuasion, and then said firmly to Ye Ye again: "Uncle, I know that you are not an ordinary person! If I leave with you, I really don't need to worry about cultivation resources in the future, but at the same time, I will slowly lose my fighting spirit, and in the end, I may not even have the courage to take revenge! I don't want to live like I hate, and I ask my uncle to fulfill it!"
There was still a hint of childishness in his voice, but the words he said made Ye Ye fall into deep thought.
As night fell, the hazy moonlight poured down on the two of them, making the surroundings even more silent.
After a long time, Ye Ye sighed heavily, and his eyes looking at Su Jie became more solemn than just now, but his tone was equally firm and said to Su Jie: "As long as you remember this mood, no matter what the environment can't change you." But if you are really depleted by the environment, it means that your consciousness is nothing more than that, forget it! Your sister-in-law entrusted you to me just now, and I can't let you go out on an adventure alone!"
Although Ye Ye was extremely surprised by Su Jie's maturity, his position did not change because of this. Whether it was out of a promise to Su Lianyu or considering Su Jie's age, it was impossible for Ye Ye to really agree to his request.
And after Su Jie saw the seriousness on Ye Ye's face, he could only lower his head in frustration, temporarily dispelling the idea of going out to practice. Even if he has awakened his martial soul and become a martial artist, Su Jie's gratitude and awe to Ye Ye have never diminished, and without Ye Ye's approval, he will not easily disobey Ye Ye's will.
After the two worshiped the graves of Su Jie's parents again, Ye Ye took Su Jie back to Huaxi Village and explained their current situation to the villagers of Huaxi Village.
"Now, you'd better go to the Mausoleum City with me, and I promise to settle you well. This village can't stay any longer, I hope you think about it!"
Ye Ye knew that the villagers' greatest wish was to rebuild their homes and continue to thrive in Huaxi Village, but the threat of the Sword Casting Gate had not completely disappeared, and once they really came to the door, Huaxi Village would still have only one result.
Therefore, after explaining the benefits and disadvantages to the villagers, Ye Ye immediately made sincere suggestions to them, hoping that the villagers could return to Lingcheng with him. However, the villagers have been hesitant after hearing this, although they know that Ye Ye cannot deceive them, but they are still reluctant to give up on their homeland.
"My lord, your strength is stronger than those Sword Forging Sect disciples, can you stay and help us solve the trouble before leaving?"
In the end, Shen Lao, who had the highest prestige among the surviving villagers, came to Ye Ye and cautiously pleaded, hoping that Ye Ye could stay in Huaxi Village to protect them for a while.
Although the other villagers didn't speak, they all looked at Ye Ye with an eager face, obviously hoping that Ye Ye would agree to Shen Lao's proposal and let them stay here.
Ye Ye frowned, but he didn't get angry. He calmly glanced at Shen Lao and the others, and then patiently explained to them: "Shen Lao, there is a high possibility that the disciples of the Sword Forging Sect will come to the door, but I don't know when they will appear. If they don't come for a long time, I can't stay here forever and waste my time. What's more, once the Sword Forging Sect comes to destroy the mouth, the number of people will definitely be more than last time, and even the masters of the True Virtuous Sect may appear, it is too dangerous for you to continue to stay here. ”
Having said that, even if Shen Lao and the others are nostalgic for this land, they have to admit that leaving is their only choice. After almost all the villagers gave up struggling, Shen Lao also finally made up his mind, sighed and bowed solemnly to Ye Ye: "In this case, Lao Yu represents the villagers of Huaxi Village to thank the adults and thank them for giving us a new place to live!"
"Elder Shen doesn't have to be like this, hurry up and let the villagers pack up their things and prepare to leave, let's hurry up!"
Ye Ye hurriedly helped Shen Lao up, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Just as he asked the villagers to pack up their things and leave with him, a group of people suddenly rushed in from the head of Huaxi Village, and in the blink of an eye, everyone's retreat was completely blocked.
