"How long do I have?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "I don't know, I may have to leave at any time, and there was no clear answer when I communicated with that being a few days ago." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Ziyou nodded, and finally stopped talking.

The village chief looked at the father and son, stood up, and said, "We will always remember the sacrifices you made for the Lu family, and I thank you on behalf of the Lu family." ”

Lu Qi held the village chief's arms and said softly: "The matter has come to this point, there is no other way, the village chief doesn't have to be like this." ”

Lu Ziyou also nodded and said: "Even if I am not selected, I don't want to see others in the village go for this matter, and choosing me is also a fortune count, and the village chief doesn't have to be like this." ”

"I'll go back first, you guys have a good gathering. The village chief patted Lu Ziyou on the shoulder, looked at Lu Ziyou, his eyes were full of regret, and said, "Get together!"

The father and son invited the village chief to stay for dinner, but the village chief did not want to disturb the last hours of the family, so he did not stay for dinner.

Not long after, Mo Xiao brought a hot meal to the table.

"Ziyou, see if your mother made you your favorite fish head tofu soup, as well as mushroom slices, smoked meat, braised fish, well, and guess what it is?"

Mo Xiao left the last dish unopened, pretending to mysteriously let Lu Ziyou guess.

Lu Qi laughed first, and said, "I said that the child is, this child has been raised for sixteen years, do you think there are any dishes that he can't guess?"

Mo Xiao held his mouth and glared at Lu Qi, and said, "If you want to take care of it, I'll see if he can guess it." ”

Lu Qi had to laugh.

Lu Ziyou shook his head and said, "The children really can't guess the dishes that my mother made this time, I guess I haven't eaten them." ”

"Haha......" Mo Xiao smiled very happily, "I can't guess it, you guessed it so accurately before, you can't guess it, you won't eat it." ”

"Fish-flavored shredded pork?"

"Not true. ”

"That's hot and sour chicken nuggets?"

"Not really. ”

"Mapo tofu?"

"Hehe, I can't guess. Mo Xiao smiled proudly: "It's the last chance." ”

"It's lotus seed soup!"

Mo Xiao was stunned and looked straight at Lu Ziyou.

"Mother, I know you can't bear to have children. Lu Ziyou opened the lid and said: "It's just that the child is for the village and the Lu family, so the mother should be happy and proud of me." ”

In this special situation, the family finished this sumptuous dinner.

The early morning sun shone into the house, and the people in the village had already gotten up to work, and Lu Ziyou also got up early with his parents.

Lu Ziyou cleaned up yesterday's sadness, he knew that there were some things he couldn't choose at all, either sacrificing himself or sacrificing the entire Lu family, he could only choose to sacrifice himself.

He came to the village chief's house, took a deep breath at the door, and finally knocked on the village chief's door.

"Who is it?" the village chief responded.

Lu Ziyou replied politely: "Good morning, village chief, I am Ziyou, and I want to talk to you about some things." ”

The village chief hurriedly ran over and opened the door, patted Lu Ziyou's shoulder with his right hand, and beckoned him to come in and sit down.

The village chief didn't sit down, but sighed and said, "I was just going to look for you." ”

"Is that being the one coming in?"

The village chief nodded and said, "I didn't expect it to be so soon, just now I received the news." ”

Lu Ziyou lowered his head and was thinking, but he didn't say anything.

"Wait a minute. The village chief said, then turned and went into his room.

After a while, the village chief came out of the room, only to have a crumpled book in his hand, and at a glance he knew that it was a book that already had some history.

Lu Ziyou looked at the crumpled book in the village chief's hand, and had a feeling in his heart that this book should have something to do with that existence, so he asked, "Village chief, what is this?"

The village chief turned the first page of the book and said slowly: "1,300 years ago, our ancestors led our people to take refuge here, but the disaster did not end with our ancestors and people going into the mountains to escape the world. ”

What kind of disaster is it, it is inevitable to let the ancestors and clansmen go into the mountains to stay away from the world, and is that existence also related to this disaster, Lu Ziyou had various questions in his heart.

"The ancestors and the clansmen are facing the catastrophe of annihilation, in the face of the crisis of extinction, the ancestors and the existence signed a fate blood curse, and finally with the help of the power of that existence to preserve the only bloodline of our clan, except for the ancestors of the clansmen, the clansmen of later generations have not seen that existence at all, and they do not know what kind of creature that existence is, as the clansmen who have experienced that disaster pass away with their ancestors one by one, in the end, the ancestors can only worship that existence according to the contract of the fate blood curse. ”

"Does that mean that no one knows what kind of existence that being is?"

The village chief affirmed, "Yes, no one knows, and there is no answer in the Chronicles to such an existence, only for us to obey the Blood Curse of Fate. ”

"I'll give you something. The village chief pulled out a sign from his pocket.

Lu Ziyou looked at the sign in the village chief's hand, the sign seemed to be made of wood, and it gave people a metallic feeling.

"What is this?"

The village chief shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and said, "This is something that must be given to you according to the chronicles, and I don't know what it is, so take it first." ”

Taking the brand, Lu Ziyou looked at it carefully, he felt that the brand was not wood or gold but it was a little heavy, and it was engraved with ancient words and patterns, the words were so old that they could not find words similar to the current ones, and the pattern was like a giant beast.

"Village chief, isn't there a record of this sign in the chronicles?"

"Nope. ”

He wanted to know something about the sign from the ethnography, but unfortunately the village chief's answer disappointed him.

The village chief looked at Lu Ziyou and stopped talking.

How could Lu Ziyou not see that the village chief had something unspeakable.

"Village chief, it's okay to have something to say. ”

"Well, then I'll be blunt, the being asks you to leave for where he is now. ”

Lu Ziyou was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Are you going to go now?" But I still have a lot of things to do. ”

"Alas......" the village chief sighed, "I don't know, I don't want to do this, but we have no choice. ”

Lu Ziyou closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said helplessly: "I understand, I'll prepare." ”

Lu Ziyou returned to his home and did not stop, packing up some change of clothes and some dry food.

Walking to the door, he turned to look at the house where he had lived for sixteen years, the tables, the chairs, everything in the house. He knew that it was a journey from which he would not return, and that these memories would soon leave this world with him.

The people in the village were basically working, and they originally planned to hold a send-off banquet for Lu Ziyou, but they didn't know that Lu Ziyou left so suddenly.

In an inconspicuous place at the entrance of the village, the village chief and Lu Ziyou were talking.

"The less people know, the less sadness, you know. ”

He nodded in understanding, held a sword in his hand and raised it to his chest, and said, "Thank you, village chief, for coming to see me off, and thank you for this sword, and I remember what you said." ”

"Kid, let's go. The village chief turned around and stopped looking at Lu Ziyou.

Lu Zi marched, "In the future, my parents will have more village chiefs to help take care of me, and I will leave." ”

The village chief looked at Lu Ziyou who was drifting away with red eyes, and only sighed endlessly.
