Chapter 5 The Times Create Heroes, Is It Luck or Fate (2)

The crutch in his hand is made of gloomy wood (gloomy wood is a special plant that grows in water, but this plant is now extinct, it is a kind of wood that was buried in the mud under water thousands of years ago, and after a long time of grinding, it was later salvaged by people, this wood is hard as iron, but it is very light. Due to this special factor, this wood is very scarce. Polished production, all black. It is straight and one meter high, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and is carved into a spherical shape at the top of the head, smooth and rounded. It was the right size in the old man's hand.

"How are you, how are you, aren't you frightened?" Mo Li asked in a low voice.

"In the past few decades of life, this kind of fighting, killing and killing has long been commonplace, no hindrance, no hindrance!"

"But Xin Yu's performance surprised me, this knife..."The longevity was interrupted by Mo Li before he could finish speaking.

"Shou, Xin Yu's mother died, he knelt beside the bed without saying a word, he was depressed, I don't know how to comfort him, I want you to persuade him, and then find someone to help bury his mother!"

"Okay! let's take a look!" Shou Shi readily agreed, turned around, and shouted to the house, "Little boy, you can find a few adults in a while and go to Xin Yu's house to help." After hearing the affirmative answer from the house, the Shou Man casually closed the door, letting Mo Li lead the way in front and the Shou Man following behind.

The person who lived in the moon was nearly 100 years old, and his body was quite strong, and he walked no slower than young people. Mo Li wanted to help, but he waved his hand and refused.

It didn't take long for him to come to Xin Yu's house, and the people in front of the door to see the excitement had all gone, some went home to rest, and some helped clean up the village, after all, it was not easy to toss this night. Pushing open the door, I saw Xin Yu still lying in front of the bed, motionless. The room is less dark due to the sunlight. The two of them came behind Xin Yu, and Mo Li brought a small stool for the longevity, the stool was a little shabby, and there was a little "crunch... Crunch...". Shou Shi sat on a stool, holding a gloomy wooden cane in both hands, and looked at Xin Yu quietly.

Mo Li helped Xin Yu up and stood in front of the longevity. Xin Yu was much quieter than before. His eyes were red and there were two tear stains on his face. Keep your head down and place your hands in fists at your sides. From time to time, there are sobs.

The longevity man held his cane in both hands and said softly, "Child, people can't be resurrected after death, so mourn." You can't be blamed entirely for your mother's death, it was caused by this chaotic world, the never-ending war, there will be casualties, the war is cruel, it separates countless families from life and death, and families are destroyed. The longevity paused.

"In fact, in the face of war, all we can do is to be patient, born in troubled times, we must find a way to survive. Death is inevitable, and we have to learn how to deal with it. ”

"No, we still have a choice. After saying these words, Xin Yu raised his head, glanced at the longevity, and ran straight out.

This look made the longevity's heart mixed, and he couldn't say it, but he also had a bad premonition. As soon as Xin Yu went out, four middle-aged people walked into the house, and two women, they were holding a bundle of purple cloth in their hands, exuding a faint fragrance, Mo Li understood at a glance, this is a cloth dyed by the leaves of a unique plant of the Gilbkura Plains after processing, this fragrance has the function of dispersing insects, preserving temperature, and removing moisture, so it can better preserve the corpse, and this is also a kind of respect for the dead by the locals.

One of the middle-aged men said to the longevity, "Grandpa, I have brought all the people, you can start." ”

Shou didn't say anything, just nodded. The two women came to the bedside, covered their heads with the thin quilt that had been covering Xin Yu's mother, spread out the purple cloth, and the four middle-aged men gently lifted the corpse, just as they were about to roll the corpse with the cloth.

"Wait a minute. Mo Li walked up to the corpse, lifted the thin quilt, and carefully reached the back of the corpse's neck with both hands, untied the knot, and removed the "pious light". Holding it in his hand, he stared at the pendant.

Seeing that Mo Li did not make any other moves, the woman continued, and the body was wrapped in layers. After finishing things, put them on the bed, and everyone waited for Xin Yu to come back.

After a while, the door was slammed open, and everyone's eyes were focused on the door. Before anyone could be seen, the tip of the knife came in first. Everyone looked at each other and was puzzled. What's going on?

Xin Yu walked in with the knife of "Holy Sin" on his shoulder. Coming to everyone, "Click" threw the knife to the ground, and the long knife passed directly through the floor and stood firmly on the ground.

"This long knife is my choice!!" Xin Yu said viciously.

Seeing the scene on the bed, Xin Yu was angry and sad.

"Child, mourning! everything is ready, bury your mother!" comforted the Yuzuki Shou.

Xin Yu nodded, tears poured out of his eyes again, and he didn't wipe them, letting them flow through his cheeks wantonly.

Xin Yu changed into new clothes. The four middle-aged people lifted the corpse and walked out, Xin Yu followed behind, reluctant to give up. The expression is solemn. Mo Li didn't know how to comfort him, but just walked out after him. A lot of people gathered outside to bid farewell to the mother. There was a slight sadness on his face. Not just for her, but for the village.

Next to the village cemetery, a one-man grave had been dug and the body was slowly lowered into it by four people. The corpse just lay there quietly, not moving at all. The four men put their right hands on their left shoulders and bowed deeply. Xin Yu knelt in front of the pit and looked at his mother quietly with a firm look. Watch as my mother is buried little by little in the dirt until the grave is filled in. The tears were still flowing wantonly, but there was more anger in his eyes. The tomb has no signs, no markings, only a patch of renovated earth.

The simple farewell ended quickly, and the irrelevant people also left, only Xiyue Shou and Mo Li watched there, Xin Yu stood up and came to Shou Zhi.

"Kid, what are your plans for the future?"

"I'm not going to be passive, I'm going to take the initiative and I'm going to make changes. Not just to change myself, but to change the world. Xin Yu said his thoughts word by word.

"Haha!!"

"The times make heroes, and heroes make the times. For you, it's not clear whether it's luck or fate. But I believe that knife has a lot to do with you. ”

"In this turbulent society, in such a chaotic world, it may be time to change, and it is not you alone who will change, but thousands of families. ”

"How much do you know about that knife?" Xin Yu asked curiously.

"The United Republic and the Tibetan Empire fought on this plain 132 years ago, and legend has it that this cemetery is buried with a general of the Xingxuan Ancient Kingdom and his personal guards in the United Republic. The knife belonged to the general. ”

"As for the rest, I don't know. Maybe you really need to solve this mystery. ”

Xin Yu's eyes became more determined. He looked at the longevity.

"I was unconscious when I touched the knife last night, and I don't know exactly what happened. Then I heard something in a daze. ”

"Is your heart holy or sinful, good or ugly. The transition between the two is only a thought. There is sin in the holy, and there is holiness in the sin. The knife is in your heart, and you need to find it, discern it, and realize it yourself. ”

"Child, the intent of this sentence is obvious, it depends on how you choose. I'm sure you'll find out. The Yuzuki Shou replied with relief.

"I think you should go to the city of Frontier first, there may be someone there who knows more about the ins and outs of the war. It is also a key defensive area of the United Republic. ”

Then the Xiyue Shou took Xin Yu's hand and walked towards his house. Mo Li listened to the conversation between the two in a daze, and there were many places where he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, so he had no choice but to follow behind.

As he walked, he said, "Son, I have a good knife, but it can't compare with yours, but the scabbard is still good." White rhinoceros (white rhinoceros lives in the Gilbkura plain, living in groups, white all over, its size is like an elephant, omnivore, aggressive, not easy to hunt. The skin is soft and flexible. Wear. It is suitable for making leather goods, and the production process is complex. Skin. It's durable, and I feel like it should fit your long knife. ”

Saying that, the Shou took Xin Yu and Mo Li to the house, pushed the door open, and on the wall facing the door in the house, hung a knife, about the same size as Xin Yu's knife, but the scabbard was very delicate, light brown, with cloud-like patterns carved on it, and the bottom and opening of the scabbard were fixed and decorated with gold sheets. On the gold plate is engraved the wolf's head. There is also a harness. Seeing that the scabbard was so delicate, Xin Yu hurriedly excused himself.

"Don't shirk it, your journey will be difficult, and you don't know what will happen to you and when you will return. Take it as my blessing to you. ”

Seeing the longevity's insistence, Xin Yu had no choice but to agree to accept it. Xin Yu's face was slightly shy. Shou nodded at the boy next to him and motioned to remove the knife from the wall. The boy carefully removed the knife from the wall, held the scabbard with his left hand, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard. The boy held the knife in his right hand, and held the scabbard in his left hand and handed it to Xin Yu. The Longevity of the Evening Moon looked at Xin Yu with a smile.

"Let's go, kid, I hope you can really make a difference. ”

Xin Yu nodded, his face was flushed, his expression was solemn, he looked at Shou Shi with very firm eyes, and then turned to leave, Shou Shi watched Xin Yu and Mo Li leave. Xin Yu and Mo Li returned home and put their knives in their sheaths. The knife and scabbard fit just right. He looked back at Mo Li.

"I have to make a choice, maybe that's fate. ”

Mo Li lowered her head, her eyes moist, she didn't want Xin Yu to see her sadness. She could only nod ruthlessly. Xin Yu had a long knife on his back and left without looking back, Mo Li thought about it, took out the pious light from his waist, chased it out with a fast pace, and held Xin Yu's hand.

Xin Yu was a little surprised, this expression made Mo Li a little embarrassed.

"I forgot this for you, you should be wearing it. Mo Li handed the pendant into Xin Yu's hand, and a tear fell on the pious light. Taking the pendant, Xin Yu trembled his hands and wore it on his chest.

Xin Yu walked out of the village and headed west, on the way to the city of Biansai. I kept thinking about the words I heard when I was unconscious.

Mo Li stood there, motionless, watching Xin Yu leave, until she couldn't see her figure, she didn't cry, but got angry.
