Chapter 80: The World Has Always Been Like This
Lin Futian and his entourage walked into the old site of Longhu Country.
Mountains and rivers are broken, and the wind of desolation is constantly blowing on the barren land.
After the death of the country, the old land of Longhu Country has not changed so much, just ordinary land and ordinary wind. On its surface, you can't see too much hatred and revenge for the country.
I still remember the old man in the black bear skin, who lived incognito in the mountains and old forests for many years, lived an ordinary life for many years, and finally inevitably got involved in the "restoration of the country". In the end, he fell into the dust, and he still wanted to restore the country, wanting to kill the people of the Lin family to avenge his hatred.
In fact, the fall of Longhu Country is the result of many factors, and it cannot be completely attributed to the Lin family.
But this does not mean that the Lin family will not be apologetic and think about it from time to time.
Lin Futian looked at the town not far away, looking at its appearance, it looked a little like the former site of the capital of Longhu Country, but now it has become an ordinary town, and it is difficult to see the magnificent and magnificent appearance of Longhu Country in the past.
"Let's go. Lin Futian said softly.
The Lomé couple nodded, and began to walk towards the small town not far away.
The town located in the capital of Longhu is named "Longhu". Compared with the previous Longhu Kingdom, there is actually no big difference, but the name is missing two words.
Looking at the small city from afar, the smoke curls up, and the world is delicious.
Lin Futian walked ahead, looking at this town that actually had nothing to do with himself, and his thoughts drifted away. I still remember that when I was a child, I heard my father talk about this incident, although it was just a casual mention during the chat, but Lin Futian will never forget how uncomfortable the expression on his father's face was at that time.
I remember my father saying that it was one of the things he regretted the most. Although he was ordered by the top, the process of "destroying the country" was not as pleasant as imagined. The expressions on the faces of those innocent people who died tragically in front of him are still fresh and unforgettable. Those innocent people who have been contaminated with the evil qi of the Demon Sect will never know how they are contaminated with the demonic qi. They were used by the Demon Cult to do something that no one knew about.
In the end, the emperor had no choice but to order: All Longhu people who are contaminated with demonic energy must be cut down and eradicated.
The person who did this was naturally Lin Yan at that time.
As a general, there are some responsibilities that are difficult to shirk. After all, this matter will definitely put you on some infamy. No matter how great and noble the purpose of this matter is, there will definitely be some people who will bother with some nonsense such as "cruel" and "ferocious".
No way, people's hearts are like this. This is how it is.
In fact, what Lin Futian's father regretted the most at that time was that he would let his children bear some "old debts" that should not have been his early. This incident especially made him regret it.
The number of people who died under his command on the battlefield was uncountable, and he didn't feel anything when he was young, but when he became a father and grew older, he became more and more afraid of those "debts" and those entangled causes and effects.
What the child has done wrong, why should he carry it on his back for his own business
What about "debt"?
In fact, Lin Futian saw this matter very clearly, he was a member of the Lin family in this life, so he should naturally bear those things. There is no reason, in his opinion, this is something that he himself should carry. And in his opinion, these things are actually far inferior to the things that he has carried for ten lifetimes.
In that case, how about adding something more?
So when Lin Futian met the old man in the black bear skin again, he almost subconsciously made a decision: since there is no way to avoid it, and there is no way to hide it, just wait for him to come. Although I don't know if that person will help, but thinking that he has been friends with him for so many years, as a "land lord", he will never watch himself die on his own territory like that, right?
Fortunately, his luck was not bad and he was rescued.
But he also got a definite answer: he will not help himself in this life.
Lin Futian walked slowly, and his sleeves naturally drooped.
It doesn't matter, a lot of people back then were old. From black hair to white hair, it seems that it is only a few thousand years. But if you calculate carefully, it's actually almost 10,000 years.
If you think about it carefully, the "land lord" of the year was actually the most interesting person. It's just that he hasn't seen each other for so many years, and he almost doesn't recognize him anymore.
Is that the heart dead?
Lin Futian sighed, raised his head, looked at the wide city gate, and muttered, "It's a little tall." ”
After the group handed over the customs clearance documents, they entered Longhu City.
The city was so big that you couldn't see the end of it. You can only see tall city towers, neatly distributed in the distance.
"Is this Longhu City?" Luo Mei looked at the surrounding traffic and the noisy scene of human figures, and it was a little difficult to imagine that this was what Longhu City would look like after the death of the country.
It seems to see Lomé's doubts. Lin Futian nodded first, and then spoke: "Although the Longhu Kingdom has been destroyed, more than ten years have passed since that incident. Lin Futian sighed: "Many things will be gradually forgotten, maybe this matter will be clear enough in the book, right? Many things will be covered up and modified, and only those surviving Longhu people, as historical people of Longhu Country, will be clear and clear. ”
I don't know why, when Lin Futian said the word "survivor", he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hmm. Lomé looked at the bustling city and couldn't think of what the Longhu Congress was like at that time.
Will it be bustling like this? Or will it be more bustling and bustling than that?
She looked at Lin Futian, not knowing what kind of answer he would have.
Zhao Jing looked straight at the town, she glanced at Lin Futian, after Luo Mei told her and Mo Yunfu about that matter, she was a little worried about Lin Futian. Although she didn't know why, she always felt as if this person was carrying a lot of heavy things, and it was very difficult to walk step by step.
She felt that this man didn't seem to be so happy all along. She wished he could be happy, but she didn't know
How to do it. This annoyed her a little.
Mo Yunfu held a coin in his hand, he looked at the people and things in this town, and always felt that Longhu City should be what it is now.
"Let's go, let's find an inn and settle down, and then we'll walk around the city. Lin Futian smiled and said to a few people.
When they came to an inn, they stopped, looked at the interior, and decided to stay here tonight.
After walking into the inn, I didn't see the boss at the counter. Luo Mei couldn't help but wonder: this inn is so big, isn't it that there are no people to greet it?
At the wine table, a woman with a good posture was comforting a drunken young man, she immediately wiped her hands after seeing Lin Futian and them enter the inn, and then trotted over to Lin Futian and them, and said with a smile: "How many people live in the hotel?"
Lin Futian glanced at the drunken man, and then said, "Is there a vacant room?"
The woman smiled and said, "Yes." ”
Lin Futian glanced behind him, and then said, "Four." ”
The woman laughed, "Okay!" and then she quickly brought four wooden plaques, just like the last time she went to the Yellow Springs Inn, all of which contained Karakuri objects made by the Gongsun family. The woman smiled and handed the wooden sign to the young man who seemed to be the backbone of the group, and she carefully looked at the handsome young man and smiled lightly.
If it weren't for the fact that he was now old and thin-skinned, otherwise, if he were twenty or thirty years younger, he would definitely be pestered and pestered this young man.
Alas, it's a pity. The proprietress sighed.
She turned her face and smiled, "Do you have anything you want to eat? Our chef here is a native of Longhu and cooks first-hand Longhu national dishes." The proprietress looked at Lin Futian and a few people, and then asked carefully, "What do you think?"
Luo Mei and the others looked at Lin Futian, not knowing what he thought.
Lin Futian didn't know what he was thinking and didn't answer.
The proprietress tugged at the hem of her skirt with both hands, a little apprehensive.
I don't know what the young man was thinking.
After a while, Lin Futian suddenly came back to his senses, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." ”
The proprietress waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, has the son thought about it?"
Lin Futian said with a smile: "Bring your chef's best dishes." ”
The proprietress smiled, "Okay, you wait. ”
Lin Futian smiled and nodded, and then found a clean table with Luo Mei and sat down.
At the table diagonally opposite them on the day of the forest burial, a drunken young man staggered to his feet. He beckoned to the air, as if looking for something. He smiled self-deprecatingly, not knowing if he was laughing at himself or others.
He staggered along, placing the money on the table as he passed the counter, "Let's go." ”
The proprietress looked at the frequent drinker with some concern, and every time he came, he just ordered a special dish of Longhu Country, and then ordered a jar of wine. Just sit
In that position, which has never changed, a person drinks himself, and when he gets drunk, he says some ridiculous nonsense.
People are good people, but some are willing to fall, and no one can save them.
The proprietress sighed: "You drink less in the future, it's not good for your body." ”
The young man paused, then smiled and said, "Hey, I know, I'm in good shape, I'm not afraid, haha, I'm not afraid." With that, the young man turned his head and staggered away.
The proprietress smiled: "I know, I want to say that you are the prince of Longhu Country, right?"
The young man smiled and patted his stomach, and then gave a thumbs up: "I have a dragon body, and I am very strong." Haha......"
He walked out of the inn, and staggered away.
The proprietress smiled and shook her head helplessly.
She looked at the staggering, unsteady young man and smiled.
I hope this young man can have a better life.
Over there.
Lin Futian was slightly stunned, and then he looked at the drunken man, squinted his eyes, and thought for thought.
Luo Mei and the others looked at the man who was staggering along, "Could it be that he is really the prince of the Longhu Kingdom?"
Lin Futian lowered his head, looked at the table, and sighed, "It should be." ”
He ...... How did it come to be?" asked Lomé. Suddenly, she realized that her question seemed to be a little redundant, and then she covered her mouth and looked at Lin Futian.
Lin Futian looked into the distance and said softly: "After experiencing something like that, it's hard not to become like this." ”
In the midst of war, those who survive are often more miserable than those who die.
This is how it is.
And it always has been.

The drunken young man returned home and sat down in his bed.
His home is not big, just an ordinary small house. There was no furniture in it, only a few vases that looked like antiques, waiting for him to go to the pawn shop to exchange some money for his daily expenses, presumably from which his usual living expenses came from.
At the feet of the young man lay a big cat, a little fat, it seems that the usual life is more moist.
It sat at the young man's feet, lying quietly, sometimes meowing, and endearing.
The young man took a few coins from his sleeve, then got out of bed, crouched down, and felt a long black box from under the bed. He expertly opened the black box and placed the coins in it. The black box was full of coins and many strange objects that looked very valuable.
Every time they see so many coins in the black box, the young man will feel a little more at ease. It's as if he still has a little hope, and he won't be able to think about it one day, and he will directly end his life. When no one found out, he died alone in this small house?
He wasn't reconciled.
The young man went back to bed and sat down, feeling that he was not much different from dead. He looked down, and the fat cat suddenly began to rub his ankles, his tail nimbly around his feet, walking between his feet.
The young man smiled, then bent down to pick up the cat.
He groaned and laughed, "What have you eaten lately? Why are you heavy again?"
The fat cat meowed.
The young man smiled and said, "Got it, I'll give you something delicious to eat at night." ”
The fat cat beckoned its paws. Expressions of approval.
He threw himself on the bed, put his hands behind his back, and then looked at the leaky roof.
The fat cat was standing on his belly, spinning around.
——————
Northwest Frontier.
It is located at the junction of the Central and Northwest continents.
A carriage with the Lin family crest stopped here, and in front of the carriage sat an old coachman, whose face had a scar that extended from his brow to his chin, looking a little terrifying and fierce.
A soft voice suddenly came from inside the car: "Grandpa Xue, are we almost there?"
The old man surnamed Xue responded and said with a smile: "It's going to be soon, it will be faster and faster in a few days, don't worry, girl." The old man sat cross-legged and said to Zhai Zhusu in the carriage.
Zhai Zhusu was a little happy, she glanced at her grandmother, who also looked at her, smiling slightly.
"What are you doing with the book that Lin Futian gave you?" asked Old Man Xue.
"I'm watching. Zhai Zhusu replied.
In the carriage, Zhai Zhusu was flipping through a book, which was a peerless and unique book handed over to her by Lin Futian. Ever since she got the book, she has been reading it carefully. The book talks about what kind of exercises should be practiced and how to practice with such a physique. I wrote a lot carefully and densely.
She looked very carefully and attentively. After a few days, it was also full of harvest.
Old man Xue smiled and nodded.
It seems that this girl is attentive.
After a while.
"Then will we be able to get to Brother Lin's house soon?" Zhai Zhusu suddenly asked again.
Old man Xue smiled: "Yes, it will be here soon." ”
"Great!" Zhai Zhusu held the old woman's hand and shook it slightly.
She was happy and excited.
The old man shook his head, a little crying and laughing.
I don't know how many times she asked along the way?
However, this girl's [Knowing Destiny] is really worthy of the name, and she has gone smoothly along the way, without encountering anything that delays the carriage, and every day is sunny and cloudless.
I don't know what's wrong with God, why doesn't it rain anymore?
It really deserves to be the legendary [Knowing Body] that can gather good luck. Old man Xue said in his heart.
He looked at the familiar terrain in front of him and sighed with emotion.
How many years have you not been back?
