Chapter Forty-Eight: Ten Years of Life and Death, and a Dream?
"Hanshan, those who hear it must be tens of thousands of miles high, and the base is millions of miles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnd our Binh Duong city is at the foot of Hansan.
When the fierce beasts above the Enlightenment Spirit appear in the Fallen Soul Forest, the immortals of Hanshan will appear and kill them, bless our world.
Back then, when my old fellow was young, he had seen those immortals. ”
Under an old tree, an old man with gray hair sat on a wooden pier, holding a cigarette stick in one hand, and spoke loudly.
Below the old man, there were rows of teenage children squatting, about a dozen people, and the children looked at the old man with a longing face, their little eyes shining, full of hope.
And in the very corner, a little boy of about eleven or twelve years old sat alone, the little boy was wearing a light blue linen robe, his hands supported his chin, his eyes did not have longing, but looked at the old man with a blank face, the corners of the little boy's clothes were full of dried blood, and there was a faint smell of blood.
Therefore, he did not have any companions beside him, and everyone was far away from him. Occasionally, a child cast a disdainful glance......
"Grandpa Li, are all those immortals flying in the sky?"
A little girl sitting at the front asked, the crisp voice was like a stream flowing, tinkling and dingding, and the eyes of other children couldn't help but be attracted by the girl. The little girl was dressed in a white dress, and her bright black eyes kept rolling.
"Yes, they fly in the sky. The old man laughed.
"But why didn't those immortals come to Pingyang City?"
"Oh, that's because... Because ......"
The old man smacked his cigarette, but he didn't say it, his head raised slightly, and his eyes flickered.
"Because of what?" all the children shouted, looking at the old man one after another, shouting for the old man to speak.
"Hehe......"
The old man's eyes flickered, slightly embarrassed, he didn't know what to say, he felt that the eyes of those children were like sharp swords, piercing him fiercely, the old man kept sighing in his heart: "Today's old guy is bragging too much, how will this end up for the old guy!"
The old man wanted to cry without tears, but he kept smoking dry cigarettes, and cried out: "Wait for the old man to smoke this pipe and tell you, and hang your appetite...... Tsk... Smack......"
"Oh~!"
There was a long sigh, but the little ones were quiet, their chins propped up with their hands, and their eyes sparkled with light staring at the old man.
They are all used to this scene, and every time they go to a wonderful place, the old man will smoke dry tobacco to cool everyone.
The scene fell silent except for the sound of the old man smoking his pipe.
"What should I do? What do I say? As soon as the old man was looked at by these eyes, he panicked in his heart, and he ran out of words......
The old man fidgeted a little from time to time, and it didn't take long for a dry cigarette to be smoked.
"Grandpa Li, say it quickly!"
"Say it quickly!"
A group of children shouted loudly, wanting to hear the old man tell the fairy tales.
"This ......"
The old man lowered his head slightly and said.
"Which one?"
"This... This one... Everyone, be quiet!"
The old man's eyes were a little evasive, and he said in a slurred manner. Suddenly, his heart was ruthless, and he wanted to tell the truth to the big guys, even if it would hurt their young hearts.
Looking at those pairs of hopeful eyes, the old man's heart became a little unbearable, he really wanted to slap himself, why is his mouth so cheap?
This kind of thing cannot be faked, because it is said that those immortals know the heavens, and if they talk about those things at will, they will distort the facts. Then they will know that the next time there is a beast above the Enlightenment, they will postpone their arrival as punishment for this city!
That's what happened back then. Tens of thousands of families were destroyed, wives were separated, and they became the blood of fierce beasts.
The past is unbearable!
Just as the old man was about to speak, a childish voice sounded, "That's because Han Shan is not in this world." ”
A voice broke the silence, and everyone's eyes moved to the corner of the old tree, where a little boy in a light blue linen robe sat precariously, his face unchanged, and repeated: "That's because Han Shan is not in this world. ”
"Cut! What does a pig killer know?"
"A fool who only knows how to talk in his dreams for a day. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, people are a strong man. Haha, I'm laughing to death......"
"Haha!"
“......”
When they saw the little boy sitting upright, everyone burst into laughter.
However, the child's expression did not change in the slightest, and his eyes were indifferent, and he sat quietly
The old man sitting on the wooden pier on the high place stood up, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Little stone, how do you know?"
The old man's eyes were full of horror, and there was a faint hint of hope, he wanted to hear the child say that he was listening to an adult, not a child.
That scene many years ago, a bloody night, seems to be yesterday.
He was afraid that these children would lose their fathers......
However, the child's words made the old man seem to fall into the glacier on the winter sun, extinguishing the hope.
"I hear what you say!" said the child, a little solemnly, and his eyes twinkled with confusion.
"Ahem... I ......"
The old man coughed violently, his heart was cold, and he didn't know where to start. He tried to beat and scold the child, but to no avail.
Looking at the immature faces and the childlike innocence of laughter, the old man could only be gloomy.
Someday in the future, maybe they will lose their loved ones, or maybe they themselves will wither away from the words of that child today.
The old man blamed himself, if he hadn't bragged, he wouldn't have caused this scene.
"He's right, Han Shan is indeed not in our world. ”
At this time, a deep voice came, waking up the old man who was still blaming himself.
The old man looked up, and a middle-aged man with a burly figure walked up, wearing a dark blue coat with a red word "Fu" embroidered on the left shoulder of the coat.
Seeing this person, the old man was not afraid in his heart, he knew that the big man would not joke about this kind of thing, because this big man was the head of the city lord's mansion, and he was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the entire Pingyang City.
In addition to the lord of the city, he is the heaven of this city, but he is also the shield of this city.
He is called a shield, and he is a shield to protect this city.
His father, the head of the previous army, was killed in the beast tide twenty years ago!
And all twelve of his brethren were killed in battle.
They have blessed hundreds of thousands of people with their lives. Today, only he and his nine-year-old daughter are left in the Dun family.
"Father!"
A crisp little girl's voice sounded, and I saw a little girl in a white dress in the crowd running out and throwing herself into the arms of the big man.
"Little Tilter, it's time to go home for dinner. The big man rubbed the little girl's hair, his eyes full of doting. Then he raised his head, bowed to the old man slightly, and said, "Uncle Li, I'll take Xiao Tian'er back." ”
"Well, let's go back! It's too late. The old man waved his hand and smiled.
Looking at the back of the child in his arms, the old man Li lost his mind slightly, and he seemed to see the man who slaughtered the beast in blood again, even though he was seriously injured, he had to rush to the front. I couldn't help but murmur, "How nice it would be if Shan could drink with me!"
Although the old man's muttering was soft, it was also heard by the big man who turned to leave, and the big man's body trembled slightly, but he did not stop. Only a sigh in my heart lingered for a long time.
"Uncle Li, I didn't blame you for what happened back then, Han Shan's people came late, how could it be because you talked about Han Shan casually?
Although my father died because of you, he was willing, after all, you are friends of life and death! Now that you've lost so many memories?"
......
......
"Hey, little ones, it's late! it's time to go home for dinner, and come back tomorrow to hear grandpa's story." Seeing the father and daughter leaving, Old Man Li cleaned up his depressed mood and said loudly.
At this time, the big guy gasped loudly, and beads of sweat were faintly oozing from his forehead.
"Lord Dun is so powerful, every time I see him, I feel a little out of breath......"
"yes, if one day I can be a soldier like Lord Dun, how nice it would be!"
"You, return to the head of the army, in the next life. ”
"Oh, I'll make you look down on me, beat you to death, don't run away if you have the ability!"
"Then don't chase if you have the ability!"
The little ones talked loudly, and after saying goodbye to the old man, they ran towards the avenue, and there was a faint sound of beating and scolding.
"These little ones!"
Looking at those innocent children, the old man smiled. Shaking his head, the old man picked up the cigarette stick placed on the wooden pier and planned to go home. But when he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a child sitting alone in the far corner of the old tree, the child was lonely and silent, as if he was not in this world.
"How is that possible?" said the old man, stunned at his thoughts. Then he walked towards the child.
The old man knew the child, and knew him well. Because they were neighbors, the children had no father, only a stepmother.
Therefore, the matter of providing for the family fell on the poor woman, but the child was also angry, and learned most of his dead father's trade.
Now, the child's immature shoulders also carry that home. However, in the last few days, the child has stopped paying attention to the shop, either sitting in a daze, or saying something crazy.
"Hey, poor baby, is it Sichun?"
......
......
Seeing the back of the shield disappear around the corner, the child sitting in the far corner looked more and more confused.
"Isn't Uncle Dun the hunting captain of the Shanli tribe? When did he become the head of Pingyangcheng's soldiers again? Doesn't Grandpa Li like to talk?"
The little boy's eyes were slightly closed, and he was full of thoughts.
"Is this a dream? or is it a dream of my ten years of life and death?"
"Aunt Xue is my stepmother?"
"Little Tilter became Uncle Dun's daughter?"
"Grandpa Li has become a crazy man, nagging?"
......
......
"Smack!"
An arm slapped on the shoulder of the pensive little boy, waking him up. At this time, a caring smile came from my ears.
"Little Stone, what's wrong with you these past few days? Why have you become so confused that you haven't even looked at your shop. ”
Hearing this unkind voice, the little boy's heart warmed slightly, and then said softly: "Business has not been good recently. In two days, the New Year will be over, and it will be fine. ”
Hearing the little boy's explanation, the old man was slightly stunned and realized that it was the case. In the past few days, the heads of the city have basically gone out to hunt, and when they come back, this kid's knife is probably not idle.
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but smile and said, "Then don't go back, your Aunt Xue should have made the meal." ”
After patting the little guy on the head, the old man walked towards his house.
Looking at the old man's still somewhat sturdy figure, the little boy's eyes became more and more confused.
"Am I a little stone, or Han Shanwei, or is it white?"
The little boy thought. When he saw the back of the old man about to disappear around the corner, the little boy shook his head, no longer thinking about it, but shouted loudly: "Wait for me!"
With that, the boy strode up.
The little boy who ran did not notice it, and after he left, the old tree gradually became illusory, and the wooden pier on which he had sat slowly disappeared.
As he came to the corner, the little boy looked back, glanced at the old tree, a flash of doubt in his eyes, and then shook his head. The figure disappeared around the corner.
"This son is really keen, and he hasn't completely fallen into a fantasy yet. He almost found out just now......"
Under the old tree, an illusory figure suddenly appeared, and the phantom looked in the direction of the little boy's departure, his eyes were bright......
"If it weren't for the fact that there was no killing talisman in this array, the master would have killed you with his own hands. In the past tens of thousands of years, nearly 1,000 people have arrived here, although they have all been wiped out by this formation, but ......
It seems that there is a problem with the Moon Wolf Royal Clan. ”
The phantom murmured, his eyes flickered, and a crescent moon appeared within.
The night breeze blew, the phantom slowly drifted away, and the old trees became solid. Only a sigh swirled slowly, but no one heard it.
"Then it will take some strength to make this array run smoothly, and it is time to end the layout of tens of thousands of years. Can't it be at this time that the formation is not working properly because of saving some spiritual power...... Failed ......"
