Chapter 68: Desire

Before the boy could finish a single thought, the grandfather came to his grandson's side, and the speed was not at all like that of a human being, and he pulled out a dagger from his hand and shot it.

The black shadow was blind, and for a moment, the entire space was filled with the screams of the black shadow's furious pain, and his ears were deaf

Grandpa approached the black shadow, and under the young man's incredible gaze, the grandfather kicked upward, took out the hunting knife from his arms, and stabbed it into the black shadow's mouth, which was wide open due to the howl, and entered through the mouth, and the back of the head came out.

The black shadow trembled, concentrating the last of his strength to shoot his grandfather out of mid-air.

After that, the shadow knelt down, and then, the massive body fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

Grandpa fell to the ground and lay down for a long time before standing up tremblingly, grandpa's face was red and shiny, the red was really weird, the boy felt that the blood seemed to burst from his grandfather's aging body but was bound by the skin, and a large amount of blood accumulated on the surface of the skin like red and bright.

"Let's go home." Grandpa said with a smile on his red and shiny face.

As soon as the tense nerves relaxed, the boy fainted.

Three days later.

The people in the city are gone, although they are injured, they are very satisfied with this thrilling trip, especially Zhu Qiang, who saw his grandfather slaughtering bears, and even praised his grandfather as a celestial, and wanted to recognize his grandfather as a godfather many times.

Grandpa refused very coldly.

The only difference is that grandpa is no longer a hunter, he is old and has little savings, and the people in the mountain village are not surprised, but the village chief came to express his gratitude a few times, and helped grandpa go to the town to apply for a subsistence allowance.

Zhou Heng heard his grandfather say that he left because the village chief's grandson was lost in the mountains, and the lost place was still the territory of several fierce beasts, Li Dazhuang didn't dare to go alone, so he naturally invited his grandfather, who was much more powerful than him, to go with him.

In the end, the grandson of the village chief was rescued without danger.

"I shouldn't have left, otherwise, I wouldn't have ......"

Grandpa looked at Zhou Heng, his eyes were full of doting.

"Grandpa, I was wrong......"

Zhou Heng gritted his teeth, he knew that the giant bear's attack before he died had wiped out the last vitality of his grandfather's old body.

Grandpa is really old this time, Zhou Heng heard grandpa coughing in the middle of the night more than once, and saw grandpa's weak and vain footsteps more than once.

Grandpa, after all, is no longer young.

"No, you're not wrong, I didn't expect it, you ended up being confused by power." Grandpa said gently, he is a person who has come over and can understand Zhou Heng's mood, so he also understands Zhou Heng's mistakes, not only to blame him.

"I don't understand." Zhou Heng furrowed his small eyebrows, his face full of doubts.

Grandpa nodded, ready to give careful guidance to his precious grandson, so he said slowly: "After taking the gun, you are not yourself." ”

"Huh?"

"You shouldn't be fighting directly opposite the bear, I said it from the first day I led you into the hunter's gate, people, you are born weaker than beasts, even if we hunters, if you can make more preparations, do more insurance, don't be stingy with your physical strength, in the past few years, you have done a good job of my advice, but why did you make a mistake today?"

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was indeed unreasonable, how could a hunter who was taught by his grandfather to be cautious and cautious as a living principle be so impulsive and reckless, it was not enough to kill a wolf, and he dared to clash with a bear head-on.

This is by no means the usual Zhou Heng's approach.

But at that time, I felt that there was no mistake, as if all common sense and vigilance began to disappear at that time, and self-confidence began to swell for no reason.

"Why?"

Why is this happening, Zhou Heng asked himself.

He didn't get an answer.

"Because of the gun, the gun with great lethality, you killed a wolf by shooting, of course you thought you could kill a bear with the thing in your hand, but is that really the case?"

Grandpa's eyes began to wander again, and he fell into his own memories.

"Man is powerful because of guns, but the funny thing is that the most killed thing by this thing is the same kind of person who made it, do you know why?"

"People, it's something that's extremely inflated and self-righteous. Once you have the strength in your hands, you start to ignore too many things. ”

"For example, vigilance, caution, fear, when the hunter loses his fear of his prey, then he is also at the end of the road."

"So it is with hunters, and so it is with man, and when man loses his fear of his creation, he has reached the point of no return."

"I don't understand." Zhou Heng was too young, he only felt that what his grandfather said was profound, but he really couldn't understand what his grandfather was saying.

Grandpa didn't care how much his grandson understood, and continued: "Think about it, if you had a better and more powerful firearm in your hand than that shotgun, would you go and confront the bear head-on? ”

Zhou Heng was stunned again, he thought carefully for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, the bear will make me afraid for a long time, but I will finally be unable to suppress the restlessness of ** and go hunting again, I can't restrain my **." ”

"Even if you might die?"

"I'm not going to die." If he had a shotgun more powerful than that shotgun in his hand, Zhou Heng felt that he would not die in the hands of the bear, and he had this confidence.

"Yes,**This thing is never the same, it will change again and again with the environment, the things in your hands, and the power that people have, when you have the power in your hands that surpasses your own limiting ability, people will no longer be themselves, if you go further and further on this road, then ......"

"It's like, you're right now."

Grandpa's voice suddenly became stern.

"It's clear that the gun hasn't arrived yet, I'm just talking, and you're starting to want to hunt bears."

"Me, me." Zhou Heng was sweating profusely, obviously he shouldn't think like this, he didn't like to look for death, and he also understood that it was the luckiest thing not to encounter large beasts during the hunt, so why did he feel replaced from head to toe by a burning excitement when he thought of that gun, at that time he was fearless and extremely powerful.

It's just that it wasn't him, it was another brainless reckless man dressed in Zhou Heng's coat, he quietly broke into Zhou Heng's brain, replaced Zhou Heng's existence, and made Zhou Heng deviate from his true thoughts.

Zhou Heng felt fear of his other self.

"Don't touch the gun again, don't touch the power that doesn't belong to you, in that case, you are still you, I don't want to see my grandson be bewitched by power and end up ruining himself."

After saying that, Grandpa coughed a few times. The pale face is terrible.

Zhou Heng looked at his grandfather, and forcibly suppressed the blood-boiling fury in his chest, he didn't need a brainless man to dominate this body, what he needed was to be absolutely calm and never die.

"Grandpa, I promise that I will never touch a gun again, and I will never touch a power that does not belong to me again."

"Yes, my good grandson." Grandpa hugged Zhou Heng in his arms, his face was full of kind smiles, and his pale face also had a hint of redness.

Two years later.

Grandpa called Zhou Heng over after drinking the gruel at noon.

He had a good complexion, ruddy and healthy, the first time since his grandfather had been injured by a giant bear two years ago.

Grandpa's words made Zhou Heng pour a bucket of cold water from head to toe.

He said, "I'm dying, and I want to tell you my last words." ”

Grandpa's words were too exaggerated, Zhou Heng couldn't react for a while, so he could only stand in place.

"I know, I will always come to this day, and I also understand that it is the greatest gift from God for people like me to die of old age, but I still have you, and I am most at ease with you, my child."

"Master... Master..."

"Hehe, don't cry, remember the promise made to me?"

"Remember... Remember ......"

"Then forget about him, after I die, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to protect you, you will always face the cruelty of the world, and strength is the best way for you to protect yourself, you go out first, have a good travel, and when you need to, you come to me again, I will give you all my inheritance, those that should not exist in this world."

That night, Grandpa couldn't wake up.

Zhou Heng cried, grandpa can still live for a long time, with grandpa's body, it is not a problem to live for another ten years, but Zhou Heng's mistake caused grandpa to be attacked by the bear before he died, and grandpa held on for two years and still died.

It was Zhou Heng who made his grandfather die so many years earlier.

It was the brainless recklessness ingrained in his brain that made his grandfather fall into the ground prematurely.

For the first time, Zhou Heng developed a dislike for himself.

He swore at his grandfather's grave that he would never touch anything he shouldn't have touched again if there was no accident.

However, now, after many near-deaths, Zhou Heng still decided that he should no longer abide by this oath.

He wants strength, even if it hurts himself.

As long as you can live, you can do anything.
