Before dawn is the darkest time of the day, and then the sky will dawn, gradually turning to light, although I don't know if this is the truth that things must be opposed, but it has always been the case.

As soon as Ling Tao opened them, outside the dark door, he saw a dark figure, as if he had blended into the night, standing quietly more than ten meters outside his door, and he couldn't tell it if he didn't pay attention.

Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, and the dangerous vigilance in his heart suddenly relaxed, turned to a wry smile, and said: "Why are you here, although it is very hot during the day now, the weather is getting colder, and it is still a little cold at this time, so go back to sleep."

"Ignition", in the darkness, I don't know who said these two words, and then, the fire was lit, and the torches were lit, illuminating the dark dawn brightly.

Under the firelight, Ling Tao found that almost all the villagers of Zhoujia Village, including Zhou Taigong, came, and stood quietly in the morning breeze looking at him, with slow and reluctant eyes in his eyes.

At such a scene, Ling Tao's heart was warm, extremely moved, and he subconsciously lowered his head, not letting them see a trace of water that could not be suppressed in his eyes.

However, he soon suppressed the reluctance in his heart, this place did not belong to him, he still had a lot of things to do, turned his head, looked at the villagers and smiled: "What are you doing here, you come here most of the night without sleeping."

Zhou Taigong took the lead and led everyone forward, he looked at Ling Tao with great emotion and said: "Brother Ling, I know, you don't belong to our Zhoujia Village, from the first day I saw you, I knew that I couldn't keep you here, and you would definitely leave one day, but what I didn't expect was that this day still came, and it came so early."

"Taigong, I ......", Ling Tao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Taigong waving his hand.

After interrupting Ling Tao, he continued: "Don't talk, listen to me, this day is still here, because of you, hundreds of people in our Zhoujia Village have been able to live until now, and they have the hope and courage to live, and we all remember your great kindness to us, but unfortunately, we can't help you anything, and we are all very guilty of this."

"Taigong, don't say that, during this time, I am very happy to be with everyone, and I am also very reluctant, but I still have something to ......", Ling Tao interrupted Zhou Taigong and said.

"Hehe, I know, you came here, it was an accident, leaving is inevitable, this is just a place where you stay for a short time, I haven't read many books, but I can also see that you are a capable person, you will definitely have a glorious day, this place is too small to keep you, there is a bigger stage waiting for you outside, saying this, it's not that I and we want to keep you, because if you keep it, you can't let you play to your heart's content, that is our sin, the reason why I say this is to let Ling Xiaoge remember, No matter what happens to you in the future, where you go, please don't forget here, don't forget us, don't forget the old folks here, no matter what you encounter in the future, what you encounter, please remember, here, you come at any time, we will greet you with the most enthusiastic attitude, no matter what happens to you in the future, please remember, there are still so many people here to support you, we will always be your rear", Zhou Taigong looked at Ling Tao and said.

His old voice, straightforward words, and the simple faces of the villagers made Ling Tao feel a warm current in his heart, making him warm all over.

"I will remember here, I will always remember here, and I will come back to see you when I have time in the future", gritting his teeth, Ling Tao said with a smile, but in his eyes, there was a sparkle of water.

The most simple touch, always the most heart-warming to come, this mountain, this water, the people here, and the qiē here are all deeply imprinted in Ling Tao's heart at this moment.

"Hehe, people are old, there are a lot of words, Brother Ling, don't be surprised, I won't say anything more, Brother Ling, you have to leave, we won't say anything that makes it difficult for you, you have helped us so much, finally, let's do our part and bring everything up", Zhou Taigong looked at Ling Tao and stroked his snow-white beard and said, but the old eyes were full of reluctance.

Two villagers walked out, carried a box, and walked to Ling Tao to put it down.

"Is this ......"? Ling Tao looked at Zhou Taigong puzzled and said, not understanding what he meant.

Zhou Taigong shook his head and said: "On the occasion of parting, there is nothing to give to Brother Ling, the things in this are all a part of the villagers' hearts, please don't shirk, don't refuse, it's not a good thing, we see that your broadsword has a gap, how can you not have a good weapon when you are out there, and your broadsword has been lighter for you before, right?" All, a new broadsword has been specially made for you, made of the finest steel, but not the iron of the broadsword in your hand, it is stronger, sharper, and of course, heavier, a full forty pounds, twice the one in your hand, I think you are best suited to use this sword."

After saying so much in a row, Mrs. Zhou paused and continued: "Secondly, Mr. Ling, your leather armor has been damaged, and because of the rush of time that day, the leather armor on your body is a little rougher, we have prepared a better set of leather armor for you, a total of three layers of cowhide sewn, and iron sheets are added to it, which can make you safer when worn on the body, and then, it is a hundred Mitsubishi arrows, I think Brother Ling, you will definitely need it, and finally, sewn a package for you from cowhide, which contains some dried meat, water and food, For Mr. Ling's food on the road, there is only so much we can prepare for you, please be sure to do it."

Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that they were going to give him something valuable, and he was ready to refuse, but it was these things that he was sent, but he couldn't refuse.

When I opened the box, as Zhou Taigong said, there was a Tibetan sheath broadsword inside, the size and style were similar to the one I had used for so long, but after picking it up, I found that its weight was twice as heavy.

Secondly, there is a set of leather armor in the box, which is more beautifully sewn, densely stitched, and is a complete set of leather armor, with upper body armor, wrist guards, shoulder pads, and leather pants on the lower body, the same three-layer cowhide, embedded with iron sheets, and even a leather cap, which is very well prepared.

For the rest, the box contained a full hundred Mitsubishi arrows and a bulging package.

Seeing these things carefully prepared for himself, Ling Tao was really moved again, I don't know what to say, the broadsword and Mitsubishi arrows are all hammered out by the villagers with hammers, the leather armor and packages are sewn by the villagers one by one, and the food in the package is also carefully prepared by them, which is full of the hearts of the villagers.

"Okay, I'll take these things, thank you," Ling Tao said with a deep bow to the villagers.

"Hehe, Mr. Ling is satisfied, you can put it on now and show us, okay?" Zhou Taigong said with a smile.

Ling Tao nodded, didn't say anything, moved the box back into the house, put down the previous broadsword, took off the leather armor, put on the new leather armor, took the new broadsword, and then, dressed neatly, walked out again.

Whether it is a broadsword or leather armor, he feels that it fits very well, and he doesn't feel bloated and can't use it, but he looks at the villagers and smiles bitterly: "Both the broadsword and leather armor are suitable for me, but after taking these things, I can't carry the package and take those Mitsubishi arrows on my back."

Indeed, Ling Tao had a broadsword in his hand, a horn bow and an arrow bag on his back, so he couldn't take the remaining hundred Mitsubishi arrows and packages, not that he couldn't take them, but if he forcibly carried them on his body, it would affect his actions.

Looking at Ling Tao's embarrassed look, Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Hehehe, what should I do, this thing is easy to do, I thought that Mr. Ling would be embarrassed before, no, I have prepared a few helpers for you, just to solve these small problems for you."

Zhou Taigong's voice fell, and under Ling Tao's incomprehensible gaze, Zhou Lin and the other thirteen people walked out of the crowd, came to Ling Tao and said, "Mr. Ling, we are willing to go with you, these little things, leave them to us."

Looking at the thirteen people in front of him, Ling Tao frowned and said, "Zhou Lin, you are ......."

They didn't speak, but Mrs. Zhou said openly: "Mr. Ling, they have decided, go with you, don't worry, they have no worries, and they have made up their minds, even if you don't let them follow, they will run to find you, so, you understand what I mean."

Looking at the firm expressions on the faces of Zhou Lin and the other thirteen people, coupled with Zhou Taigong's words, how could Ling Tao not understand, these people had already made up their minds, even if they didn't let them follow, they would follow, he was not stupid, of course he knew this layer, what else could he do at this time? I could only smile bitterly and nod in agreement.

"Sure enough, it's a smart child, I know that if you don't agree to me, this old guy will let you agree with a dead face, and if you do this, I won't be able to say the rest of my words", Zhou Taigong looked at Ling Tao, who simply agreed, and smiled bitterly.

Shaking his head, Ling Tao looked at the sky, it was already bright at this time, and said: "Taigong, the time is almost up, I will leave with them, we will say goodbye, if there is a chance, I will come back to see you."

"Hey......, okay, Brother Ling take care all the way, pay attention to safety", Zhou Taigong was stunned, and then he didn't say anything sensational, just nodded heavily and said.......

(I think, no one would have guessed that Ling Tao would agree so simply, haha......, finally, the convention asks for a recommended collection)
