Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Father's Letter
With Zhao Hu as the center, there was an explosion, and it was affected within a radius of 100 meters, and everyone felt a shock, and a whirlwind hung by, but there was no imaginary shock wave.
Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief, he made a false alarm, he thought it was a very powerful bomb, but now there was only a shock, could it be that the feeling just now was wrong? It was clearly a very strong fluctuation.
He looked at the place where Zhao Hu exploded, except for the place where Zhao Hu was lying and there was no lawn, the rest of the place was still green and undamaged.
"What about others?" Madada walked to Li Lei's side and found that Zhao Hu had disappeared completely, not even a corner of his clothes or crumbs.
Li Lei also felt very strange, and after walking to the explosion site to inspect it, he said: "I just felt right, the power of that bomb is very great, but it collapsed from the outside in, and the power was concentrated in his body, causing him to be crushed. ”
"And this kind of bomb? But it's good to fry it clean, and you will have a nightmare when you see the meat pieces. Madada was very happy about Zhao Hu's death.
Li Lei frowned and thought, feeling that this matter was not simple, this kind of bomb was a cell bomb, which had already been implanted in Zhao Hu's body when he was transformed, and it would not be actively detonated, which meant that someone was monitoring everything here.
"Everyone disperse, it's better for everyone to rot in their hearts about the things here." An old voice came.
Li Lei raised his head and saw the old dean who had adopted him.
He was dressed in a cloth shirt with many patches on it, and he was holding a peach-colored cane in his hand, and he walked this way with the support of a child beside him.
The years have left a lot of traces on the old dean's body, the gray hair has begun to fall out, and a pair of eyes are almost narrowed into a slit, and it is difficult to see what is in front of him.
But his mind is not confused, he has already experienced how many people are sophisticated, he has just arrived here, he knows the seriousness of this matter, everyone must forget what they saw today, otherwise something worse will definitely happen.
Needless to say, the authority of the old dean was here, and everyone dispersed after hearing this, and changed the topic one after another.
The frightened young orphans also obediently began to go about their own business, and Thanksgiving was once again lively, everyone connected with each other, talking about the experiences of these years, but most of them were the same, mediocre.
"You're here." The old dean looked at Li Lei and the others with a smile.
"Well, how are you doing in the past two years?" Li Lei stepped forward, took the place of the young orphan, and held the old dean's arm.
"I've already stepped into the coffin with half a foot, what's better or not, and I don't know if I'll die in a few days." The old dean has long looked down on life and death.
He took Li Lei's hand and said as he walked towards the house: "Child, you come with me, I have something for you." ”
"What's that?" Li Lei was very curious, when he first came to the orphanage, the old dean took good care of him, so he had a very good relationship with the old dean.
But these days, he was so busy that he almost forgot Thanksgiving, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.
"This is what your father left you back then, you will know when you see it." The old dean said, his body trembling, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, but his mind was still very clear.
What was left by my father? Li Lei didn't expect that his father actually left him something before leaving, and he had some expectations and apprehensions in his heart.
After all these years, I don't know what happened to my father on that road.
The old dean's courtyard is a single courtyard, far away from the noisy children's accommodation building, after all, he is old and likes to be quiet.
There was an old-fashioned television in the courtyard, which was the only way he knew about the outside world, and although he was old, he still cared about the big things of this era.
The TV was not turned off, a news news was being broadcast, and Li Lei and others happened to pass by and saw the news being broadcast.
"According to military sources, the borders of the Galactic Alliance have been invaded on a large scale by grasshoppers, and the Federation has sent a large number of troops to garrison and establish a solid home defense line."
"The intensity of this grasshopper attack is greater than any previous one, hundreds of billions of grasshoppers have covered many habitable planets such as Pandora, Badan, and Gurad, causing great damage to the local area and displacing countless residents."
"The federation has set up a special operation team to rescue local residents, and many caring people have also volunteered to participate in the rescue operation to provide human, material and financial support......
"It's really boring to broadcast similar news every day, anyway, no matter how much the war will not affect our earth's region." Madada patted his fat belly and said nonchalantly.
Li Lei smiled and said nothing, he had seen a lot of similar news before, and felt that these news would always report good news and not bad news, or exaggerate the facts and distort the truth, so he didn't pay attention to it.
On the contrary, the old dean, after hearing the news, was a little emotional, and sighed: "It's another eventful season, children, I'm afraid your future life will not be peaceful, but I shouldn't be able to see it." ”
"Old Dean, you think too much, you can live for at least another ten years." Madada still has a lot of respect for the old dean, he didn't hear the old dean's words, he just thought that the old dean felt that his life was short, so he comforted.
"Hopefully, but sooner or later the burden of this era will fall on the shoulders of you young people." The old dean gasped twice, and continued: "The burden is heavier than in any previous era. ”
Regarding the old dean's words, Li Lei and the others listened very carefully, but they couldn't really understand it.
After coming to the old dean's room, the old dean took out a wooden carved box from the bedside drawer, and the box was carved with some delicate reliefs, and a faint scent of sandalwood wafted out from the wooden box.
Opening the wooden box, the old dean took out an envelope wrapped in butter paper and handed it to Li Lei tremblingly.
Li Lei took the letter nervously, thinking in his heart what his father wanted to say to himself, he was only four years old, and fourteen years have passed, is there anything that needs to be understood when he grows up?
The more he speculated, the more nervous he became, he hadn't had this emotion for a long, long time, and the hand holding the envelope actually trembled a little, as if the letter had a thousand weights.
"Old Dean, did my father say anything when he gave you this letter?" Li Lei hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't dare to open the letter, which was a very strange emotion.
"Well, let me think about it, I'm getting older, and my memory isn't as good as it used to be." The old dean closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, and after a moment he seemed to grasp the memory picture, and said: "He said when he left you that when you are an adult, he will give you this letter, and you must do your best to do the things on the letter." ”
"Must it be done? Do you know what it is? Li Lei asked, he didn't open the envelope first.
The old dean shook his head: "He didn't say this, you can see for yourself." ”
Seeing Li Lei's nervousness, he raised his hand several times and put down the envelope, the old dean showed a kind smile and said: "Child, whether you do it or not, something has happened, since this is the case, then what is there to be afraid of." ”
"Xiao Lei, why have you become stronger recently, but your courage has become smaller, look, maybe your father is also a local tyrant and left you a lot of property." Madada encouraged.
Taking a deep breath, Li Lei opened the heavy butter paper envelope, took out a letter from it, opened the letter, and a golden willow leaf fell from it.
He was quick to catch the golden willow leaf.
"What is this?" Li Lei put away the willow leaves and looked at the letterhead.
"My son Li Lei, because of the dangerous road ahead, my father had to leave you on earth. By the time you read this letter, you should be an adult, and no matter how you have been, from now on, you have to start working hard.
Life in the world, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai, are you willing to live a mediocre life or a vigorous moment?
This is the general outline of the family heirloom Bing Xinju, I hope that my son will practice diligently, and your father will wait for you in front, you must be careful all the way.
As for this golden silk and jade leaf, it is my token, and you must take it to the Emperor's house.
Father, Li Xiao. ”
The content of the letter is very simple, only a little more than 100 words, which does not write about his father's reluctance to him, or say some heartfelt words, but arranges two things for him, one is to work hard to practice the family heirloom Bing Xinju, and go to the path that Li Xiao once walked.
The second is to carry the golden silk and jade leaves to the Emperor Star King's house.
"It turns out that this is called Golden Silk Jade Leaf." Li Lei pinched the golden willow leaf in his hand, wanting to see what was unusual about this thing.
