Chapter 63: Phantom Light

The scenes of the past are like replays and quickly reflected in front of me.

How did he be rescued from the ice and snow by the old man in the Rose Garden, and brought to this place like paradise? How did I grow up happily and happily here?

In the past month in the Rose Garden, this is about the happiest month that Lu Lie has spent in his life. There are warm houses, endless food, kind old grandfathers and young ladies who dress themselves. Here, I finally don't have to hide in Tibet all day, I don't have to worry about being afraid, and I don't have to endure hunger and cold anymore.

But one morning, Lu Lie woke up from his sleep under the quilt. He thought that another day awaited him, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the rose garden was gone, the old man was gone, the young lady was gone, and there was only a lonely house left for him.

At that time, Lu Lie was stunned, and just walked out of the house in a daze. As a young man, he had no idea what was going on.

It's as if everything I've experienced in the Rose Garden in the past month has been a phante.

Lu Lie, who had lost his support, continued to beg in various towns and villages in Jiangbei, and did some petty theft from time to time. Only occasionally, in the deserted alley, he would recall his happy times in the Rose Garden.

During these nearly five years of wandering, Lu Lie was captured by a killer organization and locked up with countless other street children, wanting to train them into qualified killers in the harshest way. After two years in the Killer Organization, the astute Lu Lie found an opportunity to escape from this gloomy underground prison, and it was at that time that he used the mechanism to injure one of the eyes of the cannibal who came to pursue him.

Lu Lie was captured by the army as a strong man and sent to die on the most tragic battlefield. With his cleverness and a little luck, he pretended to be dead on the battlefield and escaped by blending into the pile of dead. After escaping this catastrophe, Lu Lie continued to move forward aimlessly, and he didn't think about finding a job and living a good life. Lu Lie once lived in a relatively wealthy city in the south of the Yangtze River, and found a job as a junior in a large restaurant. Even if he had to work until night every day as soon as he opened his eyes, the owner of the restaurant did not give him any salary except for taking care of his food and housing, and endured the unreasonable scolding and angry scolding of some guests, and Lu Lie endured all this.

Lu Lie worked in this small southern town for about a year, and his hard-working quality and cleverness that could not be hidden were quickly appreciated by the boss. His status in the restaurant became higher and higher, and gradually, he no longer had to do the chores that the inferior people did, and the boss asked him to keep accounts and gave him a raise. A little maid in a restaurant took a fancy to her, and the boss also expressed his willingness to match the two of them in order to keep this clever young man.

Everything was going in a good direction, but one day, a large army of southern expeditions passed by this city, and I don't know which prince's army was in troubled times. Soldiers surrounded the city and blocked all escapes. The people in the city resisted desperately, because they knew that once Kaesong surrendered, what awaited them would be the fate of being slaughtered. The siege lasted a whole year, and the food in the city was quickly exhausted. Horses and ploughing cattle began to be slaughtered and eaten, and both cattle and horses were soon eaten, men began to eat women, and young men began to eat old men and children. Lu Lie watched his future daughter-in-law being hacked to death with a knife and cooked as a pot of broth. It wasn't that he didn't try to stop it, but soon he was knocked to the ground by the soldiers defending the city, and he couldn't even open his eyes. Does he hate it in his heart? Of course he hates. But who could he hate? hate the guys who ate his daughter-in-law? But the soldiers who defended the city would not have the strength to defend the city if they did not eat people. Once the outside army is allowed to invade, everyone in this city will be slaughtered and killed. What is the difference between dying earlier and dying later?

The scene in front of Lu Lie's eyes about the past began to change again.

Eventually, the city was broken, and the besieging soldiers from outside rushed in, cutting down and killing anyone they saw. These villains have red eyes, and what was once a city of flowers has become a hellish existence. Everyone died, the daughter-in-law died, the boss died, and the soldiers who had beaten themselves to defend the city also died. Lu Lie shivered and hid among a pile of dead bodies. He miraculously escaped death and left the city of nightmares.

Thinking about it now, perhaps, it is also the best relief that I died in that massacre at that time.

Lu Lie in the past continued to move forward.

He didn't know how big the world was, and where else could accommodate him. He is aimless, and he does not know where tomorrow will go.

Finally, one day, he came to a small town like a paradise. This town is called Zhushi Town, and it is one of the few places in this troubled world that has not been affected by the war. In the middle of the town was a giant tree that reached into the sky, and none of the townspeople knew where it led, except that no tree climber had ever descended from the tree in hundreds of years.

At that time, Lu Lie didn't care about any giant tree or not, how could a guy who didn't even know where he would be tomorrow have the energy to care about this kind of thing.

Later, the fruit of the giant tree in the sky fell on his head, and he was forced to climb the giant tree to find the next fruit of the giant tree, and met the magic fruit hunter Li Yuan, the mystic master Su Wen, the man-eater, and Yang Wei, and was chased by the resurrected living dead on the giant tree. All of this appeared in front of his eyes as if he were watching a horse.

"I remembered, I remembered all these things. ”

At this time, eleven years have passed since the tree was lowered. The young man back then was about to become a middle-aged uncle. The middle-aged uncle Lu Lie stood next to the phantom light from the perspective of a bystander, watching the scenes of his past. His eyes narrowed, his drooping hands clenched into fists, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly. The missing memories that had plagued him for eleven years poured out like a tide and presented them one by one in front of his eyes.

How can this not make him excited, not let him focus?

It's just that the memory of the giant tree has not been broadcast yet, and the picture in front of me suddenly comes to an abrupt end.

"Wake up, young man. The old voice rang in his ears.
