Chapter 14: The Helplessness of the Pak
Lu Xing sat on the back of the wolf king and ran wildly towards the temporary camp all the way, for fear that he would be caught up by the private army after they came out of the jungle, and it would be a lot of fun, with his current ability, he was definitely not the opponent of the private army.
On the way, he took out the seed from his trouser pocket and put it in his palm to examine it carefully, the seed looked only the size of a walnut, and it was hard to imagine that this guy could grow into something the size of a strangulation vine.
The seeds are placed in the palm of the hand, which is a little almost transparent, and there is an extremely small seedling on the side of the embryo, which looks very strange.
Just as he had been checking the seeds, a vague spiritual will suddenly appeared, it gave Lu Xing a very slim and weak feeling, as if it would dissipate at any time, but he was extremely sure, this will had a familiar feeling. When he tried to perceive the will, the vague will was gone.
"It's strange, is the will of the ontology preserved, or is the seed born of the will?"
After waiting for a long time, the vague will did not appear again, so Lu Xing stopped being entangled, stuffed the seed into his trouser pocket, and continued to ride the wolf king.
In the evening, the wolf king carried Lu Xing back to the tunnel where he had temporarily camped before, and then climbed over the mountain beam, and saw everyone gathered in front of a temporary house made of tree branches, and there seemed to be a person lying on the ground.
A bad feeling flooded his heart, Lu Xing hurriedly jumped down, rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, and when he saw the person lying on the ground, a feeling of collapse suddenly surged.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Fang, who was lying on the ground, had lost consciousness at the moment, and was about to breathe when he saw it, not far from him, a snake with the thickness of an adult's arm was lying on the ground, and its head showed a strange white pattern.
"White-headed viper!"
The white-headed viper, formerly known as the white-headed viper of the Kasinii family, is a primitive group of the viper family, in the Chinese snakes, its toxin is medium, and it is not fatal to young adults, but Lu Fang is already over sixty years old, and all aspects of the body are declining, obviously not very strong for resisting snake venom.
And after the evolution of this thing, the toxicity is not the same as before, Lu Xing has seen large animals bitten by it more than once, and those animals are only a few hours from being bitten to death.
Looking at his dying father, Lu Xing felt that the sky was about to fall, since he was very young, he often sat on Lu Fang's shoulders, and the two of them ran in the wilderness to beg for a living.
The scenes of life with Lu Fang flashed like a slide in Lu Xing's mind, and the young man's eyes moistened.
How difficult it is for a single man to raise a baby in troubled times, for Lu Xing, this father gave almost everything himself, and even the matter of begging for a wife was pushed again and again, and finally became an old bachelor.
When Long Dawei saw him coming back, he hurriedly gave up his position: "Ah Xing, Brother Lu was bitten by a snake, and the evolved white-headed viper is very violent, not to mention that we have no way to treat it now, even if we reach the No. 258 settlement, it is estimated that there is no effective way!" ”
Lu Xing knelt beside Lu Fang, helped his father's body, and let him lean into his arms.
"Daddy...... I'm Ah Xing, open your eyes and look at me...... I'll never steal wine from you anymore, and I'll never steal your peanuts anymore...... I'm not going to make you angry anymore, please don't die...... If you die, who will take care of Ah Xing...... Didn't the two of us say that we want to live well together, and you still have to watch Ah Xing marry a wife and have children...... Father...... If you die, in this troubled world, Ah Xing will have no relatives...... Father......! ”
Long Dawei is right, in today's wilderness, everything is evolving, snake venom is also a means for snakes to protect themselves, there is no reason not to evolve, the venom of the bald viper had no effective treatment before the catastrophe, and now, being bitten by it, there is basically no hope of survival, Lu Xing is also very clear in his heart about the ending of Lao Lu, at the moment of life and death, all the grief and reluctance are like a river bursting the embankment, drowning the originally carefree youth. Everyone turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch a half-grown child lose his father in agony.
In such a troubled world, life and death have almost become the main theme of the slums, but anyone who experiences such a thing will also be broken, especially the death of relatives.
Lu Xing's crying made everyone's eyes moist, and Long Xiaowei cried even more, she patted Lu Xing's back with tears in her eyes, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only shed tears with her.
Maybe it was because he heard his son's cry, or maybe it was because he was returning to the light, Lu Fang, who was about to lose consciousness, slowly opened his eyes, he raised his hand tremblingly, and stroked Lu Xing's head.
“…… Foolish...... Boy, old Lu ...... No, I have no regrets about being able to watch you grow up...... In the future, take care of yourself and strive to be ...... in this troubled world Live your life...... Don't let yourself ...... The bundle of ...... in my heart The light goes out, it's you...... Different from the origin ...... of the beasts within the walls! ”
As he spoke, Lu Fang raised his hand and pointed to Lu Xing's chest with difficulty: "The pendant on your chest...... Don't lose it, it may be your search for your identity...... Sole...... Credentials! ”
Hearing this, Lu Xing was stunned, Lu Fang's words made him a little confused, what was his identity?
Lu Fang has never said anything about Lu Xing's identity, after taking him from the arms of that strange girl, he has always regarded Lu Xing as his own, for the growth of his son, he has done everything he has, and he doesn't want Lu Xing to be taken away, now, he is about to die, if he doesn't say it, Lu Xing's secret will be taken to his grave and become an eternal mystery, which is unfair to Lu Xing, he is now an adult and has the right to know his identity, but Lu Xing's identity Lu Fang himself is also a fog, At that time, except for a jade pendant in the swaddling clothes, this product was definitely stuffed to himself naked.
Later, well-informed people saw Lu Xing's pendant, saying that the turquoise pendant was definitely worth a lot of money, and it should be a symbol of the family in charge of a large settlement. However, the Lu family and his son didn't care, in troubled times, just survival has made all the poor people do their best, where are they still in the mood to pay attention to those luxury goods, and the pendant has always been hung on Lu Xing's neck as an ornament.
Hearing Lu Fang's words, Lu Xing's head shook like a rattle: "Dad...... What nonsense are you talking about, I don't have any identity, you are Ah Xing's father, and I don't care what my identity is, I am a pariahs in the slums...... The son of the old hunter Lu Fang ......"
Lu Fang stretched out his hand with relief and wanted to touch Lu Xing's head, but the half-raised arm suddenly sank to the ground, and the hunter, who had experienced vicissitudes of life, closed his eyes unwillingly.
"Daddy......!"
Lu Xing's mournful cry spread in the wilderness, and the wolves all looked at this side suspiciously, not understanding what was happening.
The next moment, with a mournful cry from the wolf king, the entire wolf pack began to whimper, and the sound could not be calmed down in the wilderness for a long time.
Long Dawei looked at Lu Xing, who was crying bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Hey, if it weren't for our family, Brother Lu wouldn't have ...... It's ...... to be attacked by a poisonous tongue! ”
Chu Tianxiong looked at the wilderness and said viciously: "His grandmother, you see that these wolves are more humane than the vampires in the high walls, if you don't tear down the high walls, the poor people won't want to live a peaceful life!" ”
……
Under the setting sun, a bare tomb appeared on the hillside, and in the distance was a lake and a huge wolf pack, and under the blood-red sunset, the lake, the tomb, the temporary house built of a few tree branches, and a few miserable people with broken liver and intestines were all reflected in golden red.
Lu Xing knelt in front of Lao Lu's grave, refusing to get up, everyone watched from afar, not knowing how to persuade, and finally Long Xiaowei walked behind Lu Xing.
"Brother Xing, don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, in such a troubled world, there are almost no choices for the poor, you and Uncle Lu fled to the wilderness to save me, all blame me."
Lu Xing stopped crying: "What are you talking about, saving you is voluntary by our grandfather, it's just that my father's death makes me a little unacceptable, if you want to blame those beasts within the high walls, if it weren't for their animal behavior, why would the poor people resist, okay, don't talk nonsense, I'm fine, born in such a troubled world, we shouldn't have shed tears!" ”
Chu Tianxiong walked over and patted Lu Xing on the shoulder: "Ah Xing, it's right that you can think so, this troubled world doesn't believe in tears, if that high wall is not torn down, the poor will have no status and no right to speak...... By the way, what information did you find out before? ”
At this time, Lu Xing remembered the situation of the private army he had seen before, so he told Chu Tianxiong everything he had seen.
Chu Tianxiong frowned: "With so many troops dispatched, it seems that among the few private troops you killed, there is a big problem with the identity of the leader." ”
"Listen to my father, what kind of battalion commander is it!"
Chu Tianxiong glanced at Long Dawei's family, then looked at Lu Xing, and shook his head: "It's not just that the battalion commander is so simple, he can dispatch so many private troops to hunt down the murderer, this battalion commander is estimated to have other identities, so let's do it, don't stay here, you have the ability to control animals, take advantage of the night, continue to move to the southwest, and the No. 258 settlement in the Sichuan region is a good choice."
Because it's big enough, there is a way to hide in the wild and hide in the city, and it is not difficult to hide in a settlement of millions of people, and when I am busy with this time, I will go to 258 where to find you, remember what I told you, I hope you will still be you when the time comes! ”
Lu Xing nodded and did not speak.
When Chu Tianxiong looked at Long Dawei's family, he probably knew what he meant, the organization he was talking about was now the kind of person who died when he saw the light, and Long Dawei's family was ordinary people, and he had to settle down these ordinary people before he could think about other things.
"In fact, with your ability, do a little more hidden, it is completely okay to join a poor hunting team in a settlement, although the poor hunting team is not a regular private army, but it can also be regarded as a vassal of the settlement, this identity is still very beneficial to protect a few ordinary people, when the time comes, you might as well join their hunting team, usually just pay attention to hiding your evolutionary ability, don't find clues to those who have a heart."
"Uncle Chu, didn't you say that there are vampires inside the high walls, why do you want me to join their hunting team?"
Chu Tianxiong smiled, stood up and took a few steps forward, looking up at the sunset that was disappearing in the sky.
Seeing this, Lu Xing followed and stood next to the other party.
"Ah Xing, if you want to push to the high wall, it can't be done overnight, we have to figure it out slowly, there are still too few people awakened by the morning light......"
