Lu Zhongyuan's eyes swept over the faces of Patriarch Lu Xiaotian and the elders one by one, and his eyes did not show a trace of nervousness, but were full of resentment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHe hated the people in this village, hated that it had happened to him, and sometimes he hated his parents, why did he give birth to him and ignore it?

"Zhongyuan, do you know what you're talking about?" Lu Xiaotian was also a little puzzled at this time, why he, who had always been cowardly and had been running away from everything, would say such things at this time.

"Patriarch, I know what I'm talking about? I lost the Spirit Gathering Banner, this is indeed because of my dereliction of duty, I have failed to live up to your expectations of me, I'm sorry. Lu Zhongyuan said, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Lu Xiaotian.

"Tadahara. Lu Xiaotian picked up his crutches and came to Lu Zhongyuan, and then helped him up, both of them with tears on their faces. But their tears did not win the sympathy of the other elders, but only disdainful glances.

"Ever since 20 years ago, everyone in the village has been looking at me unpleasantly, and they want to drive me away. My parents abandoned me, and even the children now point at me behind my back, saying that I am a monster and a monster. Lu Zhongyuan stood up, wiped his tears, looked at the elders sitting there and continued, "I want to know why? Why are only a few people in the village have yin and yang eyes, but I am the only one who has suffered such cynicism? This place is the place where I was born and raised, where can I go if you drive me away? I don't know what the outside world is like, but I know that all the people in this village have human faces and beast hearts, and they have no humanity. ”

"Bastard, what did you say?"

After Lu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the elder named Ah Hai immediately stood up angrily, pointed at Lu Zhongyuan and said, "Bold rebel, you really don't invite anyone to see, do you know why? Don't you want to know? Okay, I'll tell you." ”

"Ah Hai, you're enough. Lu Xiaotian was also angry, and looked at Ah Hai and reprimanded him fiercely.

"Big brother, we really should say this, but it's been thirty years, these thirty years. Everybody's always remembered it, and you must remember it too? Who of us can forget? Nobody forgets it, it's just that we don't say it on the surface, but we all still haunt it, don't we? He wants to know why, wouldn't it be better to tell him why now?"

After saying that, Ah Hai continued: "Do you know what happened on the day you were born? And on the day of your tenth birthday, do you know what happened? You don't know, you did see that from that day on, everyone no longer treated you like before, and they avoided you when they saw you. Do you know Lu Bai and Lu Heng? They are the 178th and 179th patriarchs respectively. ”

"On the day you were born, Lu Bai died. And when you were ten years old, Lu Heng passed away. Do you say to yourself, what are you? Is it all a coincidence? No, our Lu funeral mourners will give birth to a 'bell breaker' every hundred years, and the birth of the bell breaker will also bring a 'bell tie person'. The bell-tying man is the scourge of our family, and we can only drive them out of the village to cover the whole comfort, you know?"

"And you are the bell tying man a hundred years later. On the contrary, Lu Zhongqing is the bell solver. That's why you're going to be hated by everybody, you're going to be hated by everybody, and that's why you want to know. ”

"What bell solver? What bell tie person? If you want to drive me away, I'll just leave, do you need to make up stories?" Lu Zhongyuan stood up after speaking, then turned around and was about to leave, and was stopped by Lu Xiaotian as soon as he walked to the door.

"You come back, don't go. Lu Xiaotian wanted to stop him, but he was already old and his legs and feet were not good, so he could only watch him.

"Patriarch, I have regarded you as my biological father for so long, and if it weren't for you, I would have killed myself. There's no point in me staying, I'll find a way to find the Spirit Gathering Banner, and if I can't find it, I'll let my son look for it until I find the Spirit Gathering Banner. Lu Zhong didn't come back, and after speaking, he left the patriarch's house and left the village.

He has no nostalgia in this village, only endless hatred and resentment, maybe his departure will really bring peace to the people in the village, maybe this is really the case.

Lu Zhongyuan had nowhere to go, let alone where to go. After two days of trekking, through the woods and the river, we came to the neighboring village of Jiaoshan to the east of the Dan River. When he arrived in this village, his eyes began to blur, his whole body had no strength, and he had not eaten anything after two difficult days. The clothes on his body had long been scratched by the branches in the woods, and the approaching winter had made him suffer the greatest hardships in his life.

"Is it right or wrong for me to leave? Lu Zhongyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, then looked at the starry sky, and closed his eyes tightly.

When Lu Zhongyuan woke up, what he saw was not a sky full of stars, but a roof. There was a lot of paper on the roof, and there were several layers of paper on the windows. It may be that the wind has been strong these days, and the previous paper has been blown away, and I have to paste it again.

"Are you awake?" an old man who looked at Lu Zhongyuan who had woken up and asked with a smile.

"Well, where is this?" Lu Zhong wanted to get up, but he didn't have the strength in his whole body, which reminded him that he hadn't eaten for two days.

"This is Hu Zhai, come and get something to eat? You've been in a coma for three days. The old man brought him some very thin cakes made of sorghum flour.

I was in a coma for three days? So it's been five days since I left the village? Lu Zhongyuan took the bread, thanked the old man, and began to eat.

"Where are you from, and how can you be unconscious on the street?" asked the old man.

"I'm a wanderer, begging along the way. ”

"Where's your family?"

"I... There is no family left. ”

"Alas, what a poor child. The old man sighed and shook his head. "Child, you can stay here! I'm just a person, I don't have children, and my wife left early. ”

"Is that okay? Thank you, old man. After hearing the old man's words, Lu Zhongyuan became very happy. This should be the happiest day he has had in the past 20 years.

"You're welcome, you can stay as long as you want, just treat it as your home. The old man looked at Lu Zhongyuan and smiled, and he was also happy.

As a result, Lu Zhongyuan lived here for a long time. Every day, he would accompany the old man to Kakuyama to chop firewood, or hunt, and then sell these things for money. But during this period, Lu Zhongyuan did not forget his mission - to find the Spirit Gathering Banner.

But in the end, Lu Zhongyuan still heard some news, that is, there was a nest of bandits in Jiaoshan, and they had recently made a transaction with a gangster, and the item traded was a flag. After he knew that it was a flag, he thought it was a spirit gathering flag, but whether it was or not, he had to go and see it and get the spirit gathering flag back.

This night, Lu Zhongyuan wore a night suit, and then quietly went up to Jiaoshan. On the top of the horn mountain, there is a small house, it is already midnight, but the lights are still bright. There were two people standing at the door, constantly checking the surroundings, and talking to each other from time to time.

Lu Zhongyuan, who was hiding in the grass on the side, clearly heard their conversation, and the topic of what the two of them were talking about was -Qi.

Hearing the words of the two people on night duty, Lu Zhongyuan was even more convinced that the Spirit Gathering Banner was hidden in this bandit's den. He used to learn martial arts with Lu Xiaotian, but now he is more proficient in martial arts, where two people in front of him can't even pass a round and will be knocked down. But if he did, it would alarm the rest of the room, so he planned to climb over the wall, silently without alarming anyone.

Lu Zhongyuan turned over from the wall on one side to the courtyard, this courtyard is not big, there are only two rooms, which are the main house and the east house. At this time, the door of the main room was wide open, but there was no one inside, and the east room was darkened and the door was locked.

He looked around, where would the Spirit Gathering Banner be hidden, and the most likely of the two rooms was the East Room with the door locked. Creeping to the door of the East House, the lock is the previous lock, it can't be opened without a key, if it is forcibly broken, then he may not be able to get out.

He didn't know how many people were in the bandit's den, but he saw only the two standing guard outside the door, and none of the others appeared. Lu Zhong went under the window, then pushed it open and opened it gently, but it was not locked, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

A jump jumped in through the window, and when he jumped in, the two people outside the gate seemed to hear something and hurried over to check. But when I came to the courtyard and looked at it for a long time, I saw that the window of the east house was open.

"Hey, what a surprise. It's just that the wind is strong and blows open the windows. One man patted the other man on the shoulder, then went to the window and closed it.

And Lu Zhongyuan, who was hiding under the window, was really frightened, he was holding his breath, and his face was red. After breathing a long sigh of relief, he searched for the location of the Spirit Gathering Banner. The room was very messy, I think it was a warehouse, there were several large boxes in it, there were many small boxes, and on top of a small box, there was a smaller small box.

Then in the faint moonlight, Lu Zhongyuan touched the small box, and then gently opened it, and reached in and touched it. It's soft, like fine silk, and it feels smooth to the touch.

"That's right, it's him. Lu Zhongyuan completely opened the small box, and then put the Spirit Gathering Flag into his pocket. It was too early to rejoice, for he was still in the bandit's den, so he began to go out of the window again, but when the window opened, two spears were pointed at his throat.
