Chapter 25: The Inheritance of Li Laohan
(Today's second update, 4000 words in this chapter)
Smelling the rich aroma of meat emanating from the iron pot, Wang Qi felt a strong feeling of hunger in his stomach.
Originally, Wang Qi was already too hungry and couldn't feel it for a long time, but at this time, this heavy fragrance drilled straight into his nostrils like life, hooking the gluttonous worms in his stomach and screaming!
In fact, not only Wang Qi himself, but almost all the people in the sewer had this feeling, and their eyes were glowing green, staring at the bubbling broth like hungry wolves.
Although there is no seasoning added to this broth, the real aroma of the meat seduces everyone who can't stop, and everyone who originally escaped death is already hungry, and this rich fragrance alone is enough to make these people's mouths water.
Zhang Guoqiang did not skimp on the food that a few people risked to get back, but distributed it to the rest of the people very evenly, although the food they got back was not enough to eat a few meals, but at least this one, Zhang Guoqiang still let everyone eat enough.
In his opinion, in today's dangerous world, it is difficult for one person to survive, only when these people are united, fed and drunk, and regain their strength, can they have hope of living, so he did not skimp on the food he took this time, because only when everyone is full of food and drink can they have more opportunities to obtain more food.
Zhang Guoqiang was undoubtedly extremely correct in doing this, originally leaving a few people in the sewer for fear that the people who came back would not give them the food he had taken the risk to take, but at this time, everyone was given a satisfying meal, so that the atmosphere in the sewer immediately became lively.
Zhang Guoqiang also proposed to let Li Xue and Leng Leqing sing a few songs to improve everyone's hope of survival, I have to say that this approach has had an excellent effect, everyone has almost swept away the haze of yesterday's death, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
Except for Wang Qi.
Wang Qi really couldn't raise his interest, not because of the injury on his shoulder, but because Li Laohan's situation was really not optimistic.
Counting yesterday, Li Laohan had been in a coma for more than ten hours, and even if there was food at this time, Wang Qi was just barely feeding him a few mouthfuls of broth.
The wound on Li Laohan's arm had begun to turn black, and yellow pus was flowing from the wound, and there was even some disgusting smell.
Obviously, the teeth of the red-backed coyote carried a lot of bacteria, and the wound where Li Laohan had been bitten at this time was already very inflamed!
The old man's fever did not tend to abate at all, his dark skin was hot, and although Wang Qi did not know medical skills, he could see that Li Laohan's condition was beginning to deteriorate.
Wang Qi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but he didn't have a way, Li Laohan was kind to himself, if it wasn't for Li Laohan, he didn't know how many times he died, but seeing that the old man's wound was suppurating, and the situation was getting worse and worse, Wang Fatzi could only be anxious, and there was no way.
What's more, his sister Wang Ling'er is nowhere to be found, seeing that those monsters outside are so ferocious and terrifying, Wang Qi is even more worried about Wang Ling'er's safety, his sister is in danger, and he, who is an elder brother, can't be by his sister's side, when he thinks that his sister may be shrinking in the corner and sobbing, Wang Qi's heart is very uncomfortable.
But with his current self, rashly walking out of the sewers is almost equivalent to death, I don't know how many hideous and terrifying monsters are waiting to tear apart the fat of his body, although with the help of the black diamond crystal, Wang Qi's combat power at this time and the original must have made great progress, but if he wants to go out alone to face those monsters, Wang Qi feels that even if he fights alone against a ghoul, I am afraid there is not much chance of winning.
After thinking about it, Wang Qi felt that it was time for him to discuss the goal of this trip with Zhang Guoqiang, after all, these people can't hide in the underground sewers all their lives, they must have a direction, otherwise whether it is convenient for the rescue of the army or not, just smelling the stench of the water will suffocate people to death sooner or later.
Zhang Guoqiang listened to Wang Qi's words, just groaned slightly, and didn't pay attention to the people who were still immersed in joy, but just whispered with a serious face: "What you said also makes sense, but we are trapped here now, and we are not as optimistic as we seem on the surface." ”
Without waiting for Wang Qi to speak, Zhang Guoqiang continued: "Although this underground waterway seems to extend in all directions, we don't have detailed routes and maps in our hands, how can it be so easy to get to the hospital, not to mention that there is no food here, and the passage is narrow, once we encounter a situation, it is not easy to deal with it." ”
The man in his thirties sighed, touched the stubble on his face, and said: "What you said, I haven't thought about it, although it seems that we are safe for the time being, but on the second floor of the supermarket, you also saw it, the door of the dimension seems to be able to open anywhere, it is difficult to guarantee that the same thing will not happen in the underground waterway, we can neither stay here all the time, nor can we walk around, if there is no clear destination, I will not let these people follow me on the adventure." ”
"What then?" Wang Qi couldn't help but blurt out, "Could it be that we just stay here?" My master's injuries are getting worse and worse, if you don't get treatment in time......"
"I ...... I'm fine......"
Before Wang Qi's words were finished, Li Laohan, who was in a semi-comatose state in the corner, stood up tremblingly, and said in an extremely weak tone: "Xiao ...... Xiao Wang......"
Wang Qi saw that Li Laohan suddenly woke up, and hurriedly went over to help: "Master, are you awake?" How does it feel? Don't move yet, I'll bring you some water to drink......"
Wang Qi was about to turn around to get water, but was grabbed by Li Laohan's wrist, at this time Li Laohan was so weak that he couldn't even stand steadily, but the palm holding Wang Qi's wrist was unusually strong, plus he practiced martial arts all year round, and his hands were full of calluses, at this time, Wang Qi felt that his wrist was like being tied with hemp rope.
"Master......"
Wang Qi was about to speak, but he saw Li Laohan's eyes brighten up surprisingly, and he subconsciously stopped talking.
"Xiao Wang." Li Laohan took Wang Qi's hand and sat on the ground, at this time he seemed to be in spirit, sighed and said, "I'm old and useless." ”
Wang Qi didn't know what he meant by this, so he didn't pick up the stubble, Li Laohan continued to himself: "Xiao Wang, I know that you are a filial child, in my life, I have traveled south and north, just to not bury the things passed down from my ancestors, this Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, old man, I passed it to you, and it can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors, old man, I am not afraid to go down to see them." ”
Wang Qi saw that Li Laohan was talking more and more mysterious, and his heart was shocked for no reason, and he hurriedly said: "Master, don't talk nonsense, you will be fine, I will carry you to the hospital on my back......"
It seems that what he said just now cost Li Laohan a lot of strength, at this time the old man just waved his hand weakly, and said: "Forget it, although I am old, I am not deaf, the way of the world has changed now, and going out here is a death, for an old man like me, it is not worth ......"
"Master......" Wang Qi was about to say something, but Li Laohan's palm holding Wang Qi's wrist increased his strength and said, "Good boy, you listen to me." ”
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and responded: "Hmm." ”
Li Laohan's pale face showed a satisfied look, nodded and said: "Boy, old man, I haven't done anything to be proud of in my life, I gave birth to a son but I don't love kung fu, for fear of burying what my ancestors left behind, but fortunately, I accepted you as an apprentice, you kid is good and talented...... Ahem......"
Li Laohan coughed twice and continued: "At this time, my unscrupulous son is not by my side, you are my apprentice, and you can be regarded as half my son, I will pass on to you what my ancestors used......"
The more Li Laohan spoke, the weaker he became, Wang Qi's heart "thumped", as if he had a premonition that something bad would happen, he knew that Li Laohan's current situation was very similar to a situation called "returning to the light", and he was worried about Li Laohan's body, and he didn't have the heart to listen to what Li Laohan said.
Li Laohan also saw that he was absent-minded, and he added a little more strength to holding Wang Qi's hand, and Wang Qi who pinched it hurt as if he was clamped by iron tongs, he really didn't understand why Li Laohan, who was so weak, could have so much strength.
"Stink...... Stinky boy! Listen to me honestly! Otherwise, I won't recognize the old man...... Ahem...... I don't recognize you as an apprentice! Li Laohan's face turned red, and he yelled at Wang Qi twice angrily, but compared with him before, he seemed much weaker.
"Hmm!" I don't know why Wang Qi's nose was sour for no reason, he nodded violently and said, "Listen, boy!" You say......"
"Knife ...... Where's my knife? Li Laohan didn't seem to be able to see anything, so he reached out and groped around.
Wang Qi hurriedly handed the knife to Li Laohan's hand, and the old man held the handle of the knife, so he was relieved and said with a sigh of relief: "It's good to be here...... It's good to be ......."
He first stroked the blade of the Guan knife with both hands, as if he was caressing his own child, and then turned his head, put the Guan knife in Wang Qi's hand, and said: "Boy, I will pass this knife to you, you have to remember, this is the old ancestor Li Yu Li Fuzhi used the guy back then, so many years, the ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, to my generation, I don't know how many generations, now the world is in chaos, and it is the turn of it to make contributions, you take it, don't bury the prestige of the ancestors." ”
Wang Qi took the Guan knife at this time, but as soon as his fingers touched the hilt, there was a message from the black Ling crystal in his mind:
"You have received a inheritance weapon from the 173,918,625 Awakened Ones of the Huaxia Kingdom......
Item information is being obtained......
The data has been obtained......
You have obtained the Legacy Weapon 'Sealed Blue Cloud Saw'
Weapon Name: Sealed Blue Cloud Saw.
Quality: Blue (fine).
Material: long-refining steel.
Length: 210 cm.
Weight: eighteen kg.
Side Skill: Unknown (obtained by unlocking the seal).
Legacy Effect: Unknown (obtained after unlocking the seal).
Weapon evaluation: The weapon used by the famous general Li Yu in the Tang Dynasty was limited by a mysterious power for some reason, and if the seal is unlocked, he may be able to show his edge again! ”
Wang Qizheng was surprised by the message sent by the black crystal crystal, but the palm of Li Laohan on his wrist slipped down weakly......
Wang Qi was shocked in his heart, and looked at Li Laohan, only to see that Li Laohan at this time closed his eyes at some point, and the old man leaned on Wang Qi's side with a peaceful face, as if he had fallen asleep......
Li Laohan died, and this old man lay in front of Wang Qi so peacefully, no different from falling asleep.
Wang Qi didn't shed tears, just sat beside Li Laohan in a daze, holding the knife tightly with both hands, staring at Li Laohan intently, as if waiting for him to wake up.
Leng Le and Li Xue glanced at each other, the two of them could be regarded as the people who had the most to do with Wang Fatzi in the team, but in the face of this situation, the second daughter couldn't even say words of comfort.
Not only that, seeing Li Laohan pass away, everyone thinks most about the safety of their families, whether they are still alive, whether they have been reduced to a monster's lunch, or whether they want Li Laohan to die peacefully in the corner, or have they been picked up by the rescue army......
Even the woman who said that she wanted to abandon Li Laohan at the beginning was just holding her shoulders with her hands at this time, and her eyes were full of worry.
Wang Qi's mind was blank, he didn't even have time to think about why the Guan Dao that he had been holding in his hand suddenly became a inheritance weapon, and he didn't even have a trace of his back in his heart, but his nose was slightly sour, but he couldn't even shed a single tear.
Although Li Laohan and Wang Qi have always been neighbors, but the time for the two to really get along is only a day or two, Wang Qi's heart treats him as his own relatives, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher, and one life is a father, Wang Qi only understood at this time how appropriate this sentence is metaphorical.
But Li Laohan left, Wang Qi's heart couldn't mention the slightest grief, his mind was more blank, maybe he had seen too much death at this time, or maybe he had already expected such a day to come.
The fat man stretched out his hands, carefully flattened Li Laohan's body, then rolled up the corners of his clothes and wiped the stains on the old man's face, and used his fat but flexible palm to tidy up the old man's clothes, and then took a step back, knelt on his knees at the old man's corpse, and then kowtowed solemnly!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After the three rings of knocking, Wang Qi's head also had an extra bruise, although he felt his head dizzy for a while, but he still stood up with the knife, and said in a small voice that only he could hear: "Don't worry, master, I won't insult the master, I will remember the kindness you gave me for the rest of my life, and when I find my sister, I will come back and settle you well." ”
His voice was very small, only Li Xue, who was very close to him, vaguely heard his words, so that she couldn't help but look at the fat man in front of her twice, although Wang Qi's fat face was full of stains at this time, and the irregular diet in the past two days also made the fat on his face a little uneven, but at this time, the fat man's eyes were full of fortitude, which made Li Xue feel that Wang Qi in front of him had a different temperament, although it was very inconsistent with his figure and appearance, but Li Xue felt that such a man was the man she had always longed for.
"If only he weren't a brokeback."
Li Xue said in her heart.
