Chapter 60: The Will of the Old Man (6)
The girls in light clothes were half-leaning back in their chairs, but at this time they unconsciously straightened up slightly, and their eyes went straight to the figure by the firelight.
In the faint wind, the old man's voice was low but vicissitudes, like a wind chime hanging on the fence of a wheat field, speaking rhythmically downward.
"This time, they learned their lesson and slaughtered again, but the targets turned to the families that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years, whether ordinary scribes or true half-bloods, who had escaped all of this.
The half-bloods were surprised to find that firearms were no longer of much use against the enemy, because each of them had hard scales attached to them that could pierce through the rocks, and they were the spirit of the king of the earth and the mountain, and when the banner fluttered on the battlefield and the blood and shouts filled the whole land, they did not know where he was hiding, and watched it all quietly.
”
The old man sat on the edge of the fine white sand beach, looking into the distance, like an old hunter explaining the taboos of this forest to a rookie, his tone was plain, but with some other charms.
Su Enxi gasped, this was a story she had never heard of, if so, then what happened after that......
"So the Chinese half-breed family perished, but the dragon kings never imagined that they would be overthrown in the end." Ange smiled helplessly: "To be honest, China has become a real utopia now, and the half-breed and ordinary people live freely, without caring about each other's identities at all, unlike us, which has been divided into several levels.
It would be nice if one day, all the dragon kings were wiped out, and the world could become like that. ”
There was a foggy haze in Ange's eyes, and after that there was an indescribable emotion, saying that it was joy but it was more like despair, saying that it was pessimistic but more like encouragement, the three of them were all stunned, they had seen Ange's countless appearances, and even the expression when he was angry had some understanding, but no one had ever seen him look at this time.
"Headmaster?" Laurent called softly.
"I'm here." Ange smiled, picked up his glass and shook it to the sky, as if he was saluting someone: "It's just that I remembered something else just now." ”
"Will that day really come?" Hannah muttered quietly.
"Of course, it's not going to be around soon." The old man continued to take up the duties of the roaster, spreading a new layer of fish on the barbed wire.
"I hope to borrow the good words of the principal." Su Enxi exhaled slowly, ending our damn fate.
Ange smiled and raised his glass to the three of them: "In the future, I will rely on the power of your families." ”
"Extremely willing." The three ladies held up their teacups together and gently touched Ange.
Not far away, a few people who had just finished fishing also leaned over, their expressions changed slightly, and they swept up and down Anger's body for a long time, and finally shook their heads slightly.
At the end of the coast, the sunset has completely set, and the night swallows the sky little by little, like rice paper blackened by thick ink.
Little did anyone know that a storm was brewing and was about to burst out completely on the long table of the meeting.
......
Noon in New York.
"It's been a long time since I cleaned up, don't dislike me too much."
The man opened the door of his apartment and waved his hand to signal the boy behind him to come in, and the latter did not hesitate and stepped in directly.
"It's not a big problem, I can understand it." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair and smiled, and sat on the sofa: "A man who lives alone, it's normal to have chaos at home, and if it's not messy, I have to wonder if there is a snail girl hidden in your house." ”
"That's right." Old Tang also scratched his fluffy hair, and he didn't know why, since he saw Lu Mingfei last night, he seemed to be much more relaxed, and the ghost who called his brother from time to time was gone.
Lao Tang, who hadn't rested for a long time, immediately took a good shower, lay on the bed and fell asleep, until noon the next day, Lu Mingfei made more than a dozen phone calls before waking up.
Then, he saw Lu Mingfei downstairs.
didn't think about how he knew his home address, and Lao Tang also knew his virtues, and even reported his bank card password when he drank too much, and it was reasonable to inadvertently mention an address.
Besides, people are worried about themselves before they run downstairs, if they are suspicious, is it a bit unreasonable?
Old Tang estimated that he still had to clean up for a long time, so he first cleaned up the littered clothes, and then called Lu Mingfei up, and it was not good to let the family wait downstairs all the time.
"Drink something? Coke? Sprite or black tea green tea? Old Tang opened the refrigerator, took out a red plastic bottle and shook it as if showing off: "Old taste, I went to the supermarket over there in Chinatown to buy it." ”
"Okay, so be it." Lu Mingfei didn't dwell too much on this issue, he wanted to say that he prefers to drink boiled water now, healthy and real, but when he thought of the weird feeling of the Internet café otaku suddenly becoming healthy, he still silently took the black tea.
"Speaking of the snail girl, I suddenly remembered, Xiao Ming, did you talk about your girlfriend?" Lao Tang suddenly gossiped: "I haven't studied in college, but I've heard that there are a lot of people who fall in love in college." ”
"No...... Not yet. It's not school yet, where do you know so many girls? Lu Mingfei shook his head: "But it is still possible in the future." ”
"That's right, wouldn't it be a big experience in life if you don't fall in love when you go to college? I just regret it, I didn't go to college, and I haven't been in a relationship until now.
Lu Mingfei glanced up and down at the man opposite, saw his messy hair and stained shirt, and said in his heart that he didn't want to do anything to the person who didn't go to college.
"Well, don't mention that." Old Tang smiled heartily: "Think about where to go today, I'm in a very good mood today, I don't know why, Xiao Ming, I'll be fine after you come, I slept soundly last night." ”
"Maybe I drank last night." Lu Mingfei didn't pay much attention to it, and looked around the room: "By the way, Old Tang, I just remembered that today and yesterday are not working days, don't you go to work?" I wouldn't have taken a few days off because I came. I can't care about that. ”
"No, no, no, I have a relatively free career and don't have a fixed working time." Old Tang denied it, and smiled: "Besides, you finally came to me once, if I release your pigeon, it will be a bit too much." ”
"Freelancing? What kind of profession? Lu Mingfei pretended to be curious: "I want to find a job like this when I graduate in the future, and I can arrange my own working hours." ”
"Don't." Old Tang hurriedly dissuaded: "It's better to find a job in a serious class, so that you can support yourself and eat without worrying about the next meal, unlike me, I have to worry for a while every while." ”
"Are you in the off-season?" Lu Mingfei tilted his head: "I heard that the sales industry has this problem, this should be normal." ”
"No, I...... Alas, it's a little hard to say. Old Tang raised his forehead: "Do you really want to hear what I do?" ”
"Of course." Lu Mingfei saw Old Tang's expression, so he was a little puzzled, and then woke up a little: "If you don't want to say it, then it's not reluctant, I'm just just curious." ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that if you say it, I'm afraid that you will feel estranged from me." The man smiled: "Many people look down on this profession a little, or some people will feel a little disgusted by it. ”
"It's a person's freedom to do whatever they do, as long as they don't break the law?" Lu Mingfei suddenly turned positive, his eyes were like round copper bells, and he looked a little funny:
"Besides, my friend is Old Tang, the focus is not on what you are, or what you used to be, as long as you are still Old Tang now, you are my friend."
The man looked at the clear eyes and the determined look of the boy in front of him, and was a little stunned for a moment.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent.
"Isn't it a little too heavy?" Lu Ming Fei Gaba Gaba mouth.
"Still thinking about what life and death are." Old Tang also laughed.
"I don't know why...... I blurted it out all at once. ”
"Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you, I'm usually a bounty hunter, but I don't do those murderous and fireproof things, I just occasionally go to explore an ancient tomb, or go to a murderous mansion or something." Old Tang simply said it, he was not afraid that Lu Mingfei would react excessively, so he secretly wrote down in his heart, 'It turned out to be such a person' and slowly moved away, this kind of thing he hadn't experienced.
Can he still report himself? When the time comes, just deny it, and there is no physical evidence, what use can it be, besides, Lao Tang also thinks that Lu Mingfei is not that kind of person.
"Really?" Lu Mingfei subconsciously asked rhetorically, and his eyes lit up a little after seeing the man nod slightly.
"Wow, so handsome, Old Tang, I thought you were a dead house, and you know to stay in the house all day long, playing games and writing novels for a living." Lu Mingfei was as if he had seen an idol, and his body leaned forward: "Did you join any special organization and carry special tasks?" ”
"Stop making fun of me." Old Tang blurted out, but he was stunned when he saw the boy's expression, looking at his adoring look, could it be serious?
"I'd like to be a bounty hunter too, but I can't." Lu Mingfei pretended to be a little lost, rolled his eyes and asked, "Old Tang, how did you start doing it, and what was the opportunity?" ”
"The reason for this was that once I went to a haunted house, and it was never haunted again. Since then, people have said that I have a special constitution and can ward off evil spirits, and then there are always people who invite me to join their team at a high price, and I don't have to do anything, just follow the whole process. So my hands are pretty clean, let alone reselling cultural relics or something, I haven't even seen it. “
Lao Tang has nothing to hide from Lu Mingfei, on the one hand, he knows what kind of person Lu Mingfei is out of a few years of friendship, as long as he is not taken away, no matter how big the change is, he is a person who can be trusted, on the other hand, he feels guilty about his own struggle just now.
People believe in you so much, you are still here to scruple about this and that, is this reasonable?
"I see, but I don't have any special abilities." Lu Mingfei sighed: "How good it is to be a bounty hunter, there is more money and more time, and it is very leisurely." ”
"Xiao Ming, you think too much, this line of work is now eating one day less than one day." Old Tang squeezed his eyebrows, as if trying to create a weird atmosphere: "I don't know why, since a while ago, this kind of exploration task has become less and less, I heard from a friend that it seems that a lot of terrifying things have come out of the soil, and several high-level teams have been buried in it."
More money and less money, or life matters, I don't have any fighting skills, now I can buy this small apartment all thanks to the favor of Lady Luck, now I also think about it, and then pick a few tasks with high bounties, and work in the future, without worrying about eating and drinking, even if it is over.
If you can meet a good wife or something, then marry one, in fact, it's not much worse, and I feel quite comfortable to be alone. ”
Lu Mingfei looked at the man in front of him who was talking about his ordinary dreams, and sighed silently.
Although he agreed with Old Tang's wishes, and he had fantasized about being able to do so, he ...... Big brother, it would be good if you could make the person in your body think the same way, fall asleep obediently, not to mention let Lao Tang raise it for a lifetime, Lu Mingfei will work and raise it for the rest of his life.
But this is just a fantasy, or the most unlikely one, Lu Mingfei knows in his heart that dragons are dragons, humans are humans, and their hybrids are even more alien mixed between the two.
Before the extinction of dragons, hybrids can be classified as humans, and the war between humans and dragons will only be life-and-death, until one side is completely wiped out, and the war will come to an end.
As for what happened after that, it wasn't for him to care.
As long as the people you cherish can survive, this life will be considered a success.
"It's the same....... After all, this work is too precarious, and it is still on the edge of the law. Lu Mingfei saw the man looking at him, scratched his head and reacted:
"It's better to find a class and be able to socialize with people, although the working hours greatly limit a lot of things, but this is also a kind of law, and a life without regularity is actually no different from a chaotic life." Lu Mingfei said as he spoke, recalling the first time of college.
Obviously, I have many opportunities to work hard to become stronger, but I still can't grasp it, and I can only see one tragedy after another happening while I am silently sad next to me.
The man quite agreed with Lu Mingfei's thoughts: "So, I plan to retreat with a good vote, and it's good to survive." I also wondered if it was because I had experienced too many strange things with myself and was entangled in something. ”
"What, you've found the right assignment?" Lu Mingfei lowered his voice, and when he saw Old Tang's excited look, he sighed in his heart, and instructed: "Don't fly around again, pay attention to your own safety." ”
"This task seems quite simple, just walk around twice." Old Tang glanced to the side: "It is said to be a valley somewhere in South America." ”
Ordinary people will subconsciously look a little unnatural when they lie, such as this drifting eye...... But of course, it didn't escape Lu Mingfei's eyes.
"When are you going? If it's been a few days, shouldn't I leave early? Lu Mingfei lowered his head and picked an orange, pretending to inquire inadvertently.
The man raised his eyebrows, stared at Lu Mingfei for two seconds, and said expressionlessly:
"Next week, there's no rush."
"Looks like I can still treat you to a few meals." Lu Mingfei smiled and divided the orange in half.
Seeing the boy's smile, the strange feeling in Old Tang's heart became stronger and stronger.
How do you feel all of a sudden...... Why does Xiao Ming care so much about his work?
Are you too careful?
