Early the next morning, Li Hao and his wife got up, Li Hao came together and went to the barracks, but Ling Caidie came together to go to the street to buy vegetables.

Li Tian and Li Fan got up and cultivated in the courtyard, neither of them bothered Li Aocheng, and they didn't know that he had left the Li Mansion, in their hearts, they just thought that Li Aocheng was hit so hard yesterday, and it was normal to get up so late today, after all, if it were to be themselves, it would be the same to have a big sleep to eliminate the pressure in their hearts.

It wasn't until Ling Caidie came back from shopping for vegetables that Ling Caidie realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly called their brother to look, who knew that when they opened Li Aocheng's room, there was not only no one in it, but there was nothing in it, only to see a letter on the table.

The two hurriedly went to tell Ling Caidie, and Ling Caidie opened the letter and saw only two neat pages of words.

"Daddy, I know you're worried about me, and I know you'll be anxious when you read this letter. I'm sorry Daddy, and two brothers, please forgive me for saying goodbye, I really can't bear this pressure, I don't want you to worry about me every day, and I don't want you to be said this and that, I want to leave here, I want to go outside to relax.

Please don't worry about me, I'm like a young eagle, if I stay in the arms of my parents, then I will never be able to fly, I want to look at the outside world, see the cruelty of this continent, only see the world clearly, recognize the world, I know how I should survive, I want to be a bird in my mother's arms forever, I want to be an eagle that flies very high, I want to travel this world.

When I see the world clearly and know how to survive, I will come back. I know what you're worried about, but trust me, I'll know how to survive, don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself. In addition, I asked my two brothers to help me take good care of my father and mother......"

After reading the letter, Ling Caidie's mother and son quickly went out to look for Li Aocheng, but they didn't find it for half a day, only to hear that he had already gone out to see the imperial capital.

Li Aocheng's departure is undoubtedly the biggest blow to them, after all, Li Aocheng is too small, going out like this is undoubtedly what they are most worried about, if something happens to him, then they will not forgive themselves in this life.

After a day's journey, Li Aocheng finally came to a small town, where the environment was very elegant, surrounded by high mountain peaks and dense jungles.

Li Batian didn't stop all day, and kept running his horse, as if he wanted to vent all the sorrow in his heart.

The town looks a little old, revealing an ancient atmosphere, the town is not very luxurious, on the contrary, it looks poor, and there are some beggars in shabby clothes sitting on every corner of the street, some old and some small, but some middle-aged beggars are rare.

Li Aocheng led the horse through the narrow streets, past the sparse crowd, and came to a very ordinary inn, although the inn was not very luxurious, but it was the only good inn in the town.

If it's late today, if he can't stay, then he will really have to sleep on the street tonight, he doesn't want to be a beggar on the street, and besides, he is new to the city, and it is very unsafe to live outside.

Li Aocheng walked into the dilapidated door, only to see a gray-haired old man at the counter very serious accounting, the old man looked to be over the age of the sixtieth birthday, the gray hair was not very neatly arranged, it seemed that he was very busy, and his face looked full of wrinkles, showing his old age, but he had a pair of bright eyes, and the old man's dry hands were flexibly fiddling with a worn-out abacus.

When the old man saw Li Aocheng walking in, he quickly put down the work at hand and got up to greet Li Aocheng, and the old man limped to Li Aocheng's side, as if his legs were injured, so he walked with a limp.

The old man had a smiling face on his face at this time, as if he was happy for Li Aocheng's arrival, the old man was not smiling brightly, as if it made people look like he was covering his sadness with a smile.

The old man looked very thin overall, like a dried corpse, and made people feel that he was very fragile, as if he would fall if you touched him lightly, and the old man was so weak to walk, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Welcome to our store, I don't know if the guest officer wants to stay in the hotel or find someone?"

"Boss, I need to stay in the hotel, I don't know if you still have a room here?"

"Yes, the store now has a day room and a ground room, and the price of the store is quite favorable, the environment of the room is also very good, the service of the store is also very good, I don't know if the son wants to live in the shop for one night. ”

The old man spoke very tactfully, and he was also very weak. This made Li Aocheng curious, why the people in this town were very strange, when he crossed the street just now, many people were staring at him curiously, as if they were going to eat themselves a little.

"Okay, I want the Tianzi room, lead the way. ”

If it's late today, Li Aocheng doesn't want to run around, so he will live here with peace of mind, and besides, the people here are very weird, and he doesn't know this place yet, so it's best not to run around.

When the old man saw that Li Aocheng had chartered the Tianzi room, he silently responded, obviously with a hint of joy on his face. Then he took Li Aocheng and limped upstairs, the old man said very little, and he didn't ask Li Aocheng anything, but what he wanted to say felt like it was on his face.

Although the old man looked at Li Aocheng at first, he didn't look at Li Aocheng's body for long before turning his eyes to other places.

Although the old man didn't say anything, Li Aocheng knew what he was thinking, he was thinking about his age and his gorgeous clothes, whether he was from a wealthy family, but he didn't like it, because ordinary rich people would have someone around them to protect them, and there were often some subordinates and guards around them.

Although the old man wanted to ask Li Aocheng's origin several times, he didn't open his mouth in the end, and Li Aocheng would not take the initiative to tell him his origin.

"Boss, why are there so many beggars on your street, it doesn't seem that the environment here is not very bad, they should all work at home or support the elderly, why do they still come out to beg? And why is there no middle-aged man?"

Li Aocheng couldn't help but ask in the end, because it was too curious, it was too strange in this town, and it was suspicious everywhere.

"Childe, I see that your origin is not small, there are some things you still don't want to know, and now there is no one around Childe, and you know too much, but it is not good for you, I owe Childe to leave here quickly after getting up tomorrow morning." ”

The old man obviously didn't want Li Aocheng to know about the matter here, and he also wanted to warn Li Aocheng that there were no subordinates and guards around you, so it would be unsafe if you knew.

"Oh. But I still want to know, look at this, if the boss tells me, this is yours. Li Aocheng took out a bright gold coin from his arms and said to the boss.

The boss looked at the gold coin in Li Aocheng's hand, his eyes were straight, it was like seeing a pearl, and his hand couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

"Okay, since Childe is so curious, I'll tell you about it, this place used to be very prosperous, and it was also a little famous in this radius of a hundred miles, but overnight, this place has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the fate of this place has been completely changed overnight.

I used to be a young guy in this family, and I worked here to make ends meet. I still vaguely remember what happened that night. That night, the moon in the sky was very round, the stars were very bright, and there were still crowds everywhere on the street in the evening, and there were still many stalls on the street.

But at this moment, a group of people suddenly came to the gate of the town, they all rode a horse, they quickly crossed the street, they didn't care about the crowd on the street, they went straight on the rampage, and from time to time they killed people, it didn't take long for them to kill dozens of people, and finally we were all afraid of being killed by them, and we were all hiding everywhere, but there were still many people who were caught by them.

In the end, they gathered the whole town together, they took away all the young and strong young people, and the only ones left were us, they burned down our homes, and all the useful things were robbed by them, and some women were directly robbed by them, as for their consequences, I think the son can imagine it.

My daughter did not escape this catastrophe, and was finally snatched away by them, and my wife was also beaten to death by them, leaving me, a lonely old man in this world, and our boss was not spared, and was directly killed by them. The old man couldn't help crying when he said this, crying so sadly, so sad, that Li Aocheng felt a little chilled when he heard it.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask about your sadness, I hope Uncle won't be sad, they are all dead, it's useless for you to be sad, they all want you to live well in heaven." ”

"Thank you Childe for your comfort, it seems that Childe is a good person, I'll tell you everything. ”

"Since that night, there are only these old, weak, sick and disabled people left in our Qingcheng Town, even some young men who survived by luck, they have fled to other places, and we are the remaining people, some places can still live and survive, so we stayed and continued to live, as for those who have nothing, they have no choice but to live by begging on the street, and they are not happy.

The next Qingcheng town became a deserted town, and there was nothing left, so that it became what it is today, and it was sadistic. ”

"Doesn't the government care?"

"They can't control it, they're not really a good thing, they are all benevolent and righteous on the surface, but in fact, they are all a bunch of good-looking hypocrites, and they secretly collude with these guys to divide up our property together. ”

......

Li Aocheng and the old man chatted for a long time, and Li Aocheng finally knew the situation here, although the conditions here are very poor, but they are not bad, and there are also people who are very capable, and now they have begun to settle down gradually
