Chapter 34 The origin of the surname Duan
Aqin's mother and daughter are simple, kind, and affinity. The villagers respected them, but this respect was broken by this sudden group of people. The simple mother and daughter didn't know what had happened, why the villagers were so suddenly unfriendly.
As soon as Ah Qin's words fell, an elderly patriarch stood out in the crowd, holding a cane, a white beard covering his knees, two white eyebrows embedded behind his ears, squinting his eyes, and replied in a raised voice: "Someone saw that you took a dangerous person to spend the night, just to come and see that it was all good, for fear that something would happen to your mother and daughter!"
"Where are the dangerous people?!, the patriarch don't listen to hearsay!" Ah Qin's mother suddenly retorted loudly.
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this old man suddenly speak, and as if he could understand!
"You ......," the patriarch said, pointing to Aqin's mother.
"What are you, don't think that I don't know what you're talking about if I can't hear it, we two live in the fire cliff and we have to take care of each other, and now we have taken in a few passers-by, and everyone looks good-looking, so don't make a fuss!"
A Qin Yinghe: "Yes, patriarch, they are very polite to us, and they don't look like dangerous people at all!"
The patriarch took a deep breath and said, "That's good, it's okay! Let's go back! ”
The patriarch was about to disperse, but at this moment, a young man with a spatula, stood up, tidied up his clothes, glanced at Lu Qi, trembled with fear, pointed at Lu Qi and stammered: "Patriarch, it's him, there is fire in his eyes, it's terrible!"
The young man was silent, and everyone focused on Lu Qi, who pretended to be too timid to look at everyone.
Ah Qin helped her mother and asked, "Mother, can you hear me?"
Mother didn't hear what Ah Qin was saying, so she just walked with her head down and didn't answer Ah Qin's words!
The fishermen dispersed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Aqin's mother stopped, turned her head and pointed at Duan Qing and said to Duan Ling, "You two come to my room!"
Without further ado, the two obediently followed, and the others stood at the door, and all curiosity was shut out!
"Old man, may I ask what is the matter with our two brothers and sisters?" Duan Qing asked politely.
"The Duan family still has descendants, and the sky has eyes!" the old man said with tears in his eyes!
Seeing the old man's tears, the brother and sister panicked!
Duan Ling took the opportunity to ask: "Does the old man know about the destruction of Duanjia Village by the Qilin back then?!"
The old man nodded and replied, "Yes, I heard it from the merchants!"
"This ......" Duan Ling couldn't believe her ears.
Duan Qing looked even more surprised.
How can a deaf person hear it all at once?
When the old man saw the expressions of the two, he was puzzled and said, "Hehe, don't get me wrong, I'm indeed deaf, but I can read lip language!"
I see, the brother and sister suddenly realized!
"By the way, do you know why Qilin killed the Duan family?" Duan Ling asked.
"Have you ever heard of the Qilin Sword? The Qilin Sword was built by the Duan family and has the power to reach the heavens. And the Qilin Sword comes from the body of the Qilin!It is made of a piece of heart-protecting scale armor!" The old man said that it looked like the two young men, and continued, "I have been waiting for the Duan family to come back here, and now I have finally waited for it. ”
The brother and sister looked at each other with embarrassed expressions. The first is that I don't understand why the old man has to wait for the Duan family, and the second is that one is not of Duan family blood, and the other has not yet been identified.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, the old man sighed and continued, "Do you know how the fire extinguishing cliff came about?"
The two of them shook their heads!
The old man motioned for the two to help her up, and after helping her up, he raised his head slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Your ancestors built it, at that time, this place was barren, the land was hot, and there was no grass, it was your ancestors who made this place become fragrant with birds and flowers, and the air was sultry!"
"Old man, are our ancestors so great?" Duan Qing at this moment was surging in his heart, and his face was shining.
Duan Ling heard the glory on his face, and helped the old man take a few steps forward.
"Yes, why not? Your ancestors once fought against the Qilin, pulled out the Qilin's Heart Guard Scale Armor, and beat the Qilin back to Lingyun Cave. If it weren't for your ancestors, where would we have come to these hundreds of years of peace! A unicorn without heart-protecting scale armor would naturally be much less powerful than before. Hehe," the old man said, and the wrinkles on his face widened.
Duan Qing touched the back of his head and said: "I seem to have heard my master say it, but it's not my surname Duan, it's a 'break' that is cut in two, and the old man may be mistaken." ”
The old man kindly glanced at Duan Qing, smiled and said: "In fact, the word 'Duan' in your surname is the 'break' of one knife and two cuts, and your ancestors felt that this 'break' character was blunt and impersonal...... Alas...... By the way, how did you two brothers and sisters escape the disaster back then?!" The old man suddenly turned his head and focused his gaze on Duan Qing's mouth.
Because he was not sure whether he was a descendant of the Duan family, he lost his confidence and replied: "I don't know, I am an orphan, and I have known my surname Duan since I can remember, and I am not sure if it is surnamed Duan!"
The joy on the old man's face was reduced by half, and he turned his head to look at Duan Ling.
Duan Ling lowered his head, didn't dare to look at the old man, took a deep breath, raised his head, and replied: "My adoptive father is a descendant of the Duan family, but that fire swallowed him, I am a descendant of the Western Regions!"
I saw that the old man closed his eyes slightly, his face sank, and he pushed Duan Ling who was holding her away, looked up at the stone window, and shouted sadly: "God...... What the hell is going on!?What my ancestors promised, can't it be that this is the end?The Western Regions is an ominous land, why did you come here?"
Duan Qing saw that Duan Ling was pushed by the old man and almost fell, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and he was very puzzled by the change of the old man's 180 degrees!
"Are you alright?" asked Duan Qing with concern.
Duan Ling shook her head, making her eyes show that Duan Qing cared about the old man.
Duan Qing stepped forward to help the old man who was in grief to lie down on the side of the bed, and the old man couldn't afford to get sick!
The door opened, everyone rushed forward, and Ah Qin naturally went to the bedside to serve her mother.
The night was getting thicker and thicker, and there was a salty smell in the air, and I vaguely felt the stickiness on my face.
Everyone sat around the bonfire in front of the courtyard, accompanied by the stars in the sky! The atmosphere was not good, no one spoke, and the atmosphere reached freezing point. Even so, as long as it's safe, everyone is in a good mood.
"Lu Qi, what's wrong with your body?" asked Yong Mingguo as he looked up at Lu Qi, who was sitting opposite.
Lu Qi didn't dare to look at Yong Mingguo's eyes, deliberately shifted his attention to Duan Ling, and replied, "Thank you Miss Yong for your concern, it's much better." ”
"Why did you ...... all of a sudden" Brave Destiny wondered, as she could clearly see the fireworks in Luqi's eyes on the eve of her coma. At first, I thought I was dazzled, but now that I was besieged by fishermen and almost made a mess, Yong Mingguo began to have some doubts about Lu Qi.
"I don't know, since I entered the fire cliff, I have felt uncomfortable, I have not recovered until just now, and now I can't exert my strength, and when I exert my strength, my whole body is uncomfortable. Lu Qi lowered his head sadly, he knew that he had been doubted by the Brave Destiny Fruit, so he answered truthfully for the time being!
"Maybe it's because of the root of the disease left by the last time you fought with the Qilin?!" Duan Ling said.
Lu Qi took a deep breath and said, "Maybe! I'm not sure!"
"You've fought the Qilin?!" said Yong Mingguo's face with a little more admiration.
"I'm ashamed to be injured by him, but fortunately, I met the third master and Miss Duan Ling on the way. Lu Qi glanced at Duan Ling gratefully.
Duan Ling nodded in response.
Seeing this, Yong Mingguo put away his doubts.
"What are you still doing here, get out of ......," a hurried, familiar voice rang out in the air.
Predict what's going on, and listen to the next time.
