Chapter 60: Big Brother
In the middle of the night, except for a few of us who were fighting with a walking corpse who had been dead for many years in this primeval forest, there were other people who came to us, and these people were either friends or enemies. But I saw that none of these people I knew. I looked at our accomplices, and they were equally dazed. That's friend or foe.
"Senior sister, Huazi, you pack up the old livestock, and these people will be handed over to me." I yelled at them with a sideways face.
Huaxia and Xu Mingxiang responded, and they were about to greet the walking corpse. Tong Li saw that someone was coming, and came to my side, I guess he was already holding back the ghost fire in his stomach, and he couldn't clean up the demons and monsters, and it was no problem to throw over a few big living people. The other three were the same, one by one, and finally seized the opportunity to prove themselves.
I didn't rush to do it, because I felt that the minds of these people were not on me at all, and from the moment they appeared, they only glanced at a few of us and then looked away.
The people bypassed us and went straight to the walking corpse, surrounding the old immortal.
Although the arrival of this group of people may help us to share some of the troubles. But if you can't breathe, you don't even say hello, what is it? If I'm confronted with a pile of gold, silver, and jewelry, and suddenly kill a few people, and without saying a word, pick up a shovel and start moving, then what should I do with them? A good comrade who helps others? No, you can't!
I was about to open my mouth and ask who these heroes were, when a voice interrupted me directly, "Friend, leave the rest to us, you shouldn't have much time." ”
I looked back, and a bald man slowly walked out of the shadows, smiling kindly. I didn't stop until I was in front of me.
I held out my right hand, "Didn't ask?" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm disabled." The man held out his left hand, and I immediately changed my hand and held it with him. On closer inspection, the sleeve on the left side of his shirt was empty. The whole arm should be gone.
"Curious? It was cut off in the early years. Fortunately, he was cut down, otherwise he would still be doing something hurtful. The man said indifferently, as if he had evoked a past in his heart that he didn't want to recall.
I thought I might not be being polite, so I immediately said sorry and asked, "Why did you help us?" ”
The man didn't answer, and beckoned to Xu Mingxiang with a smile.
Xu Mingxiang pointed to her nose, and after the man nodded, Xu Mingxiang withdrew from the battle circle and ran over. The man didn't wait for Xu Mingxiang to speak, and said, "Miss Xu, we meet again." Take your two juniors and friends on the way. ”
Does this man know Xu Mingxiang? The senior sister asked the same question. "You know me?"
The man touched his bald head with his only remaining hand and said, "Yes, your attention was completely off me at that time. I had seen you a long time ago, but you didn't notice it. ”
These words made Xu Mingxiang even more incomprehensible, staring at the two big eyes, unable to say a word for a long time.
Hua Xia also ran over at this time, stretched out his hand and patted the man's left arm, and said, "Thank you, big brother!" ”
I had a chill in my back. Huaxia felt that something was abnormal. After patting it back and forth a few times on the empty sleeve, he immediately withdrew his hand and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
The man is not to blame. said: "Huaxia is right? Your kid's kung fu is not bad, but you can't use it against your own people. ”
Hua Xia didn't think long before he thought of two people with me, and we looked back at the group of young people who were fighting the walking corpses. My eyes were locked on two of them, and I instantly understood, and I exclaimed, "It turns out that you have been sending people to follow us for the past few months. ”
I should have resisted this person in my heart. But in any case, there was no hostility towards him, and I couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”
"All you have to do is know that I have no ill intentions, but am secretly protecting you. This is not a place to chat, you go first, and then there will be time. The man gave an "eviction order", and even if we had more questions in our hearts, we couldn't continue to speak.
Tong Li decisively beckoned everyone to prepare to leave. The man's eyes swept everyone, and for some reason, a suspicious look flashed across his face.
We didn't say any more, packed up our things and left. When passing through the battle circle centered on the walking corpse, Huaxia really didn't hold back, his palm was electrified, and the figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he already had a severed arm in his hand that clutched the saber.
The owner of the severed arm is, of course, the old beast walking corpse, Huaxia clamped the blade between his two fingers, stepped on the severed arm with one foot, exerted force with two fingers, pulled the knife out of the palm of the severed arm, and shouted without looking back: "Brother, I will borrow your spoils for a few days first, and when I see you again, I will definitely return you." ”
The man laughed and shouted at our backs, "Take care! ”
I don't know why Huaxia attaches so much importance to this knife, so I didn't ask much. Soon we walked along the road led by Tong Li for more than an hour, the road became more and more difficult, and our pace was much slower than before.
I have been by Xu Mingxiang's side, and everything I said was nothing more than about that middle-aged man.
Xu Mingxiang asked me why Huaxia knew that he must have sent someone to follow us. Hua Xia told the story of the two people who were following us in the effect area that night, stripped naked, and left them in the wild to feed mosquitoes.
Xu Mingxiang scolded with a smile: "Only you two turtle sons can come up with such a desperate solution." ”
At that time, we mistook them for 901 people, and not burying them alive was considered benevolent. Fortunately, Huaxia and I are not ruthless people, and I think it is because of this that the man knows that he will be relieved and bold to let people follow us.
Xu Mingxiang never remembered who the man was or where she had seen it. Until Huaxia said a word.
Hua Xia said: "I always feel that he is very kind, and he speaks in a tone that is a bit like an elder, and I will not resist at all with all kinds of care and love." Zhen Nima is weird. ”
Xu Mingxiang paused, lagged behind us by one position, and then followed. I whispered, "Remembered?" ”
Xu Mingxiang didn't speak, but I knew she must have guessed the identity of that person. And I guessed it too. Although I don't know his name, at least in my memory, Xu Mingxiang mentioned such a person.
His relationship with 901 is indescribable, and the way is unclear, but it is certain that he hates more and loves less. There are many examples of people changing their temperament after a brush with death. Bad people may become good people, which is called getting lost; But it can also get worse, which is called obsession. Good people become bad, which is called the destruction of the three views. Becoming better, haven't heard of it yet.
The middle-aged man belongs to the first category, life and death have washed away his whole body, so that every pore of him exudes positive energy, what he has done, what he is doing, I don't care, I just know that he is indeed protecting us in a way that we can't understand.
He is reluctant to disclose his identity, probably because he is afraid that people will talk too much, and if his identity is exposed, he is afraid that something will happen. It's always good to be cautious.
I think he has secretly observed the three of us senior sisters and brothers for so long, and he has long understood our personalities clearly, knowing that we are harmless to humans and animals, and often fight for others, and we are three good young men. That's what made him dare to show up.
Aside from the three of us, he may not be familiar with the others, so he doesn't dare to state that he is protecting himself.
Hua Xia couldn't put down the snatched saber all the way, and he took the trouble to look at it repeatedly.
I asked Hua Xia Dao, "You're not curious about that person at all?" ”
"You're just stupid, I've already guessed who he is. But I won't tell you. "Huaxia's current appearance is really underwhelming.
Qi Botao had been eavesdropping on us, couldn't suppress his curiosity, and asked, "Can you tell me what kind of mystery you guys are guessing?" ”
Hua Xia said coldly: "Don't ask, don't ask, I have time to learn the army's secrecy regulations with Brother Tong Li." ”
Qi Botao not only didn't get the answer he wanted, but was also rewarded by Huaxia, unhappy in his heart, and kept silent.
With Huaxia's IQ, it is not difficult to guess the identity of that person, and this kid must also know that that person is not trying to reserve anything about us, but the other four people.
He was one of the people who followed the second master and the white-robed man to fight with Jiaolong in the middle of the night in the mountains and forests, he called the white-robed man the master, but in the end he was betrayed by the master and cut off his arm.
If the white-robed man is really our "dear" master, then he should be regarded as our senior brother, the only surviving senior brother. Because the rest of the brothers and sisters died cleanly in that battle.
I don't know how he survived, and he avoided the eyes and ears of the multitude. Looking at his appearance, he has mixed well over the years, and he has already begun to take his younger brother. Maybe they're going against the 901 people, both openly and secretly.
I can't guarantee that he must simply care for the three of us, but he and Xu Mingxiang have common enemies, and the enemies of enemies must be friends. No matter whether it is a friend or a senior brother, no matter how you look at it, you will stand by me. I think the 901 guys won't be in the mood for a few days.
At this time, Tong Li stretched out his hand to block our way and said, "When we arrive, as long as we go down this cliff, we can reach the designated place if we walk less than fifty kilometers." ”
The dark clouds in the sky have long since dissipated, and the moon shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival is still perfect, soft and clean at first glance.
Xu Mingxiang walked to the edge of the cliff and looked back, sighed, and said, "This is the legendary place of Xuanwu Carrying the Moon. ”
She was talking about Feng Shui, which literally meant that a turtle carried the moon on its back. We also walked by the moonlight, and it was as if we were standing on top of a tortoiseshell.
Perhaps from a certain position to our side, the moon will really be perfectly combined with the turtle's back, worthy of the name "Xuanwu Carrying Moon". (To be continued......)
