Chapter 378: The Iron Pillar of the Old Man
It's changed, everything has changed. Literature Junkie .『
If I hadn't lived in Daliu Village since I was a child, I would have been extremely familiar with every plant and tree here, and I would almost suspect that I had gone to the wrong place.
I stood at the entrance of the village and was silent for a long time, with mixed feelings, and finally took a deep breath and walked along the path to the center of the village.
As the sun sets, the smoke curls up, the doors of the houses have been closed and the fires have begun to cook, and the whole street is quiet and empty.
After a cup of tea, I came to a brick house facing the street, an ordinary farmhouse yard, a main room, and a home remedy next to the gate.
At this moment, the gate was closed and locked from the outside, and my body floated up like catkins with a slight touch of my toes, and by the time my feet touched the ground again, they had already landed in the courtyard.
I took a look around me, and the whole yard was overgrown with weeds, the farm tools in the corners were rusty, and the main house was covered with cobwebs, obviously no one had taken care of it for a long time.
An inexplicable sadness surged up from the bottom of my heart.
I stood in place with a gloomy expression, and in just a few years, everything I was familiar with had become different.
"What are you, what are you doing sneaky?"
Just as he was in a trance, suddenly, a person's voice suddenly sounded.
I looked for prestige, only to see a head poking out of the courtyard wall next door, looking at me with a wary expression.
"You...... Are you an iron pillar? ”
I looked at him, and it was a familiar face, with a muscular build, dark skin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, and a pair of bright eyes that were rolling around.
"Who the hell are you, how do you know my nickname, and what are you doing here? Stealing? ”
The sturdy young man jumped over the wall with agility, carried a wooden stick in his hand, walked to me and stood down two meters away, staring at me without blinking.
"Iron Pillar, I'm a Twin ........."
When I saw my childhood playmate, the excitement in my heart was irrepressible, but when the words I just said came to my mouth, I immediately noticed that something was wrong, and swallowed it back, and finally said with a wry smile: "I am the same senior brother of Double Happiness, passing by here and coming to his house to have a look, please forgive me for the disturbance." ”
It's not that I don't want to reveal my true identity, but now that my appearance has changed greatly, the thing of taking away and being reborn is too appalling, I'm afraid that Tiezhu won't believe it when he says it, and if he doesn't get it right, he will treat me like a nonsense neurotic.
In addition, there is one point that he is most worried about, that is, Liang Xiong.
He can kill my parents and threaten me, and he will also pay attention to my relatives and friends who are related to me, and if he is related to me, he will definitely not give up.
Therefore, after learning the lesson of the last blood, I must not reveal my true identity, lest I affect Tiezhu and his family.
My heart is bitter, this kind of scene of seeing my relatives but not being able to admit it frankly is really painful.
"Are you Double Happiness's senior brother?"
After listening to my words, Tie Zhu's face finally softened, obviously believing most of it, and looked at me excitedly, asking, "Why did you come back alone, Double Happiness?" How's he doing outside? Did anyone bully him? Does he have a girlfriend, I heard that the girls in the city are all beautiful........."
I quietly listened to the iron pillar's question, smiled, and waited for him to finish asking in one breath before saying: "Senior Brother Shuangxi is living a good life now, he asked me to bring you a message and don't worry, when he has time, he will personally go down the mountain to visit you."
After hearing this, Tie Zhu immediately shouted angrily: "Phew, this stinky boy can deceive people, he hasn't seen anyone for more than five years, what an ungrateful guy, when he ran away, I worked hard for him to make a big buck, forget my friend." ”
"How can it, I haven't heard Shuangxi junior brother mention you, by the way, he asked me to bring you something."
After saying this, I took out a palm-sized gold ingot from the storage bag, stepped forward, and placed it on the hand of the iron pillar.
"What's this?"
Tie Zhu picked up the gold ingots and stared at it with wide eyes for a while, but it was late at night, and he could only vaguely see that it was a metal shape, and he didn't think much about it, so he stuffed it into his pocket and said with a smile: "It's okay, the stinky boy hasn't forgotten me, and he reluctantly forgives him with a copper bump." ”
After I heard him say these words with a big grin, I immediately touched my nose, crying and laughing, the gold ingots that ordinary people dream of were actually regarded as copper bumps by him.
But he didn't break it in front of him, and planned to surprise him, and when he got up the next morning, he would know what he was talking about, and when the time came, I was afraid that he would be surprised.
Tie Zhu suddenly sighed, and said with a sigh: "Brother, it's really not the right time for you to come, Shuangxi's parents just died half a year ago, and this house is cold and empty, I'm afraid you will have to run for nothing."
"I've heard about this for a long time, and this time I went down the mountain to make a special trip to worship for Shuangxi's junior brother, I don't know where my uncle's grave is?" I couldn't wait to ask.
Tie Zhu said: "The cemetery is in the back mountain, you can come with me." ”
So, Tiezhu led me over the courtyard wall and hurried to the back hill without stopping.
On the path to the back mountain, Tie Zhu walked and said with a sad face: "His parents died strangely, the first day was fine, there were talking and laughing, and the next day he was unconscious, fortunately, he died of a sudden illness, and he did not suffer any crime, and then my father appeared, and found a few people in the village to bury them properly, alas, it is a pity, the old uncle and aunt are kind, why did they die so early?" ”
I didn't say anything when I heard this, I know the cause of my parents' death best, they died after being ingested by Liang Xiong's soul, on the surface, they died peacefully, but in fact, at the moment when their souls were pulled out, they endured unimaginable pain.
In a certain cemetery in the back mountain, phosphorus fires are heavy, ghosts flicker, and faintly, there are bursts of crying.
In front of a loess grave, I fell to my knees and looked at the cold tombstone in front of me, on which were the names of my parents.
"Daddy! Mother! Rest in peace under the Nine Springs, the child swears, I will definitely kill Liang Xiong and carry his head to pay tribute to you! ”
I thought silently in my heart, kowtowed, and when I raised my head, my eyes were calm, but there was a hint of hideousness in the calm, and my heart was as cold as a tombstone in front of me.
In an instant, a huge coercion, which was the huge aura of the monk who took the house, spread out violently around my body, and the whole cemetery suddenly flew with sand and gravel, and the trees shook violently, and a biting wind blew out of thin air.
