Chapter 0600: An Old Man
Da Wu regretted seeing a place that was quite normal. There are mountains, and the mountains are green, and all kinds of flowers and trees of different shapes grow on them. There is also water, the water is crystal clear, and there are all kinds of fish swimming in the water.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Da Wuregret saw an old man looking at him strangely.
The old man couldn't tell how old he was, but he gave people a very old feeling, just like those moldy old antiques felt to the world.
And this old man doesn't have a trace of other breath, and what he really gives is the feeling of being a human being.
"People?" asked Da Wuregret, a little uncertain.
The old man laughed at Da Wuregret's short question, and he smiled and said, "Young man, you came to the underworld alone, right?"
Da Wuregret's expression froze, staring at the old man tightly.
The old man waved his hand with a solemn expression when he saw Da Wuregret and said, "Young man, don't be nervous. I am human, and just like you. Not only that, but I also came to the underworld for someone. It's just that now it's just lost in it. ”
Da Wu's expression relaxed slightly, but he didn't completely let down his vigilance. After all, when Da Wuregret met the shore on the bank of the Santu River, the shore was relatively normal, but who knew that the other side of the bank was an evil body.
"Where is this?" asked Da Wuregret again.
"You came here, don't you know how special the underworld is?" said the old man with a slight stunned face, "Every grain of dust in the underworld is a world. Even if a gust of wind blows, if the dust world inside happens to meet certain conditions, it will bring people from the outside world in. ”
Da Wuregret was not surprised, when he came here, he roughly thought of this. But what he didn't expect was that the underworld was really like this.
There is indeed a certain truth that the underworld can hold the soul of the entire thirty-six days, and this is only the outer part of the gate of the underworld, it is so powerful, what is the interior of the underworld like?
When Da Wuregret was thinking, the old man looked at Da Wuregret's somewhat calm expression and smiled and said, "The son can be taught."
Da Wuregret looked at it and nodded slightly, and the old man with a happy face asked again: "Senior, do you know how to get out?"
When the old man heard Da Wuregret's question, there was a helpless look on his face, he shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know how long he has been here, how can he know the way out." ”
Da Wu was stunned for a moment, thinking about the breath on the old man's body, and felt that the old man really didn't lie. Da Wuregret looked at the old man with some disappointment and asked, "What did the senior's last sentence mean?"
The old man stared at Da Wuregret again for a long time and said, "The old man looks at your face, it is not a thing in the pool, so he naturally concludes that you will not be trapped here." Moreover, you are so calm that it makes the old man believe that you can break through here. That's why it is said that children can be taught. ”
A glint of joy crossed Da Wuregret's eyes, not because the old man praised him, but because the old man meant these words. Da Wuregret began to relax his vigilance and asked, "Senior, how do you think I will get out?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How will you get out, how will the old man know." If the old man knew, he wouldn't have gone out early. ”
Da Wuregret's face was black, and he found that the people he met liked to circle him.
"Let's not talk about this for now, young man, let's talk about why you came to the underworld first?" the old man said easily after seeing Da Wu's embarrassment.
Da Wuregret didn't answer him, but asked, "Senior, why did you come to the underworld?"
After the old man was stunned for a long time, he turned around silently and turned his back to Da Wuregret. Da Wuregret saw that the old man's eyes seemed to be a little moist as he turned around.
Da Wuregret didn't ask again, he knew that this old man must also be an old man with a story. Just like him, he came to the underworld desperately for the sake of Le Yunyan. And the old man must have come here for a very important person for him.
Long.
The old man let out a long sigh and said, "Young man, how many of your brothers and sisters do you have?"
Da Wuregret was asked by the old man suddenly and inexplicably, and said with some puzzlement: "I have an older brother." ”
"Brother?" the old man repeated softly, "Old Man was also an elder brother when he was young."
Da Wuregret listened quietly, he knew that the old man would continue, maybe the old man hadn't met anyone for a long time, maybe the old man needed to vent something.
Because Da Wuregret saw that the old man showed a kind of longing, and there was a kind of flesh-and-blood feeling.
"Lao Yu was only eight years old when he was a natural disaster in the village"
"No one expected that the natural disaster would be so serious, and not a drop of water fell from the sky for four whole years."
"In the first year, the people in my village were able to deal with it, but in the second year, the grains could no longer be planted, and in the third year, all the stored grain had been eaten dry and quiet."
Da Wuregret is not a good listener, and when he heard this, a question arose. So, he asked directly: "Senior, why don't you escape?"
The old man sighed heavily and said, "In the first year, the old people in the village thought that there would be rain one day, but it dragged on for a year. Logically speaking, this should not happen."
Da Wuregret somewhat understands that many people are like this, they will make habitual mistakes, and when many people make a judgment, they will stick to their judgment and find all kinds of reasons to prove that his judgment is correct.
As a result, it is precisely because of this that it ends up leading to delays in time and irreparable mistakes.
"By the second year, the earth had cracked, and some of the people in the village had begun to flee"
The old man said very plainly, but Da Wuregret could imagine that tragic scene, and he couldn't help asking, "Did they escape?"
There was a sad look in the old man's eyes, he was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Later, I learned that our village is in the 100,000 mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary people to go out in their lives."
When he said this, Da Wuregret looked at the old man with some doubts. If the old man was only eight years old, how did he survive?
The old man was silent for a long time again, he looked at Da Wuregret and smiled a little miserably and said, "Do you want to know, how did I survive?"
Da Wu nodded without regrets.
The old man said with a very strange and strange look in his eyes: "That year, I was nine years old, my brother was five years old, and I took my younger brother to follow my parents in the fleeing procession."
"We've been gone for a long, long time"
"All the trees have dried up, everything that can be eaten has been eaten by the wild beasts, and the wild beasts, after eating these things, do not know where they have fled"
