Chapter 4: The Old Man
That town, called Rock Town, but there was no way to go back to that place.
About what happened that day, no one gradually asked, but I heard that the head of the golden horned beast was taken by someone who didn't know, and the mountain forest also built a stone wall, and no one was allowed to step into it again. Because of this, no one in the mountains and forests ever spoke of the wild laughter of the mysterious man.
On the day Yi Zhuo left, Daikin felt that it was because he said a lot of things that he was instigated by Yi Zhuo, so these things happened, so Dajin also packed his clothes that day and left with Yi Zhuo and them.
It is difficult to go out, without family property and economic support, Yi Zhuo's family can be said to be difficult to move an inch, and there are many thieves on the way, and even the few belongings they brought out of the house have been robbed together. Yi Zhuo's mother was also brutally murdered for stopping the bandits.
Yi Zhuo's father was even more angry and couldn't afford to get sick. After taking care of it, the whole person went crazy, because of Yi Zhuo and Dajin's negligence, Yi Zhuo's father ran out one day while people were not paying attention, and he was never found again.
Since then, Yi Zhuo has also become silent, as if he has changed into a different person.
Yi Zhuo and Daikin live in a ruined temple.
On this day, Dajin went out to beg for food, and Yi Zhuo spread it on the base of the stone statue of the god, like a living dead.
At this moment, a fluttering song sounded, and the lyrics were to the effect:
I'm not a fairy, I'm better than a fairy.
I go to drink, why do I need money for wine?
There is nothing in the body, and people give money.
It is said that the heart has no thoughts, but it is a lie.
Just these few lines have been repeated on the cover. After a while, an unkempt and tattered old man, with a pestle and a cane and a wine gourd hanging on his head, walked into the temple with a sway.
The old man's face was wrinkled, but he had a trace of extraordinary, like a fairy. Sitting down at a table, he leaned close to Yi Zhuo's ear and asked, "Child, can I sit down here?"
Yi Zhuo looked sluggish and did not answer. The old man smiled indifferently and said, "Then I'll take you by default." ”
The old man looked at Yi Zhuo, whose face was like ashes, and couldn't help laughing: "Child, what happened, there is nothing in this life that people can't get by, live!"
The old man saw that Yi Zhuo was still silent, and then said: "Although you don't tell me, I think you are still young, child, and even if something happens, it can be solved." ”
As the old man was talking energetically, Yi Zhuo had a cold eye, and the old man suddenly became excited. But the old man immediately calmed down, because the old man was not frightened by Yi Zhuo's cold expression, but saw the shining swaska-character mark in Yi Zhuo's eyes. The old man couldn't help but shout, "Child, you actually have a curse in your body!"
Looking at the old man's excited expression, Yi Zhuo did not stir up the slightest wave in his heart. The shadow of losing his mother and father, Yi Zhuo is really difficult to get out of.
The old man continued: "The old man has lived most of his life, and it is really a blessing of heaven to be able to see the curse with his own eyes. Child, let me tell you, as the heir to the curse, you will do something. ”
Yi Zhuo didn't want to see the old man muttering alone, so he echoed: "What kind of curse, is it very powerful?"
When the old man heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted excitedly: "Very powerful, let me tell you, you are not the only one who has a curse in this world, but you are all dragons and phoenixes among people." Although I have heard of the curse, I have never seen it, and today you must let the old man open my eyes. ”
Yi Zhuo twisted his head to the side, and now he didn't want to deal with the old man anymore.
At this moment, Daikin came back, looked at the old man who suddenly broke in, and couldn't help but be cautious. After all, so much has happened these days, and Daikin doesn't want to be negligent.
Dajin held the food in his hand, looked at the old man, and asked, "Who are you?"
When the old man saw the food in Dajin's hand, his eyes couldn't help but glow, and he ran to Dajin excitedly, grabbed the food, and ate it.
Seeing this, Dajin hurriedly grabbed it, and kept scolding: "You old man, hurry up and return the food." ”
Unexpectedly, Yi Zhuo was weak and stopped: "Give it to him." ”
"This ......" Daikin looked obviously reluctant.
Yi Zhuo said: "Let this old man eat, let him leave quickly when he finishes eating, it's really making trouble here." ”
Seeing Yi Zhuo say this, Dajin couldn't say anything, so he had to wave his hand at the old man with an ugly face, and said, "Eat quickly! Eat quickly! Get out of here after eating!"
The old man was holding the food, and his mouth was full of food, and his mouth was almost full. After listening to Dajin's words, he also left with interest, and when he left, he didn't forget to say to Yi Zhuo: "Child, thank you for the meal, we will definitely meet again." ”
Seeing the old man go away, Dajin had to feel like he had lost something, his heart was empty, he clapped his hands, and sat next to Yi Zhuo.
However, Yi Zhuo in front of him still looked expressionless, his face was facing to the side, and he didn't look at Dajin at all.
Dajin sighed, looking at Yi Zhuo's appearance, Dajin was also very uncomfortable, so he had to say something to make the scene less embarrassing.
"Young Master Yi Zhuo, I know that you are very sad now, so many things have happened, that once lively and cheerful you may be dead. Daikin said to himself: "I remember that I once went up the mountain, I was bitten by a tiger, and I was almost eaten by a tiger, but it was your father who saved me desperately." So from that moment on, I decided to follow your family to the death. Now Master Yi is crazy, and he ran out to get lost with us, and Mrs. Yi was also killed by gangsters, and now I have to repay you for your kindness. So Young Master Yi Zhuo, don't go wrong with you, otherwise I won't have the face to see people in Dajin in the future. ”
Dajin's words, Yi Zhuo listened to it seriously, looking at Dajin like this, Yi Zhuo said slowly: "Dajin, in fact, what you have done to our family over the years has been benevolent and righteous, don't think about others and ignore yourself." Haven't you always wanted to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law? Let's go, I don't need your care, you should have your own life. ”
"What!" Dajin suddenly became unhappy, and said: "Young Master Yi Zhuo, what are you talking about, are you going to drive me away Dajin?" I tell you that it is impossible, even if I Dajin does not marry a daughter-in-law in this life, I have to take good care of Young Master Yi Zhuo. ”
"That's up to you. Yi Zhuo looked lazy and replied weakly.
Night.
The summer wind is gusting, and the insects are chirping.
Yi Zhuo and Daikin are asleep.
It seems that everything is so peaceful, but no, danger is approaching step by step.
