Chapter 308: I want to go back and see
This jar of old wine is not a good wine, it was left by him when he married his wife, the village has undergone repeated relocations, many items have been lost, only this jar of old wine remains.
Looking at the old wine in his hand, the old patriarch of Ling Stomping slapped the mud open, took the wine bowl, the aroma of the wine was not strong, it was incomparable with the wine that Lu Chen drank in the mysterious mountain village, but this wine seemed to have a taste that he couldn't speak.
"It's done!" The old patriarch raised the wine bowl and drank it all.
Seeing this, Ba Ming and Zhong Xu, who came with him, had complicated faces, a trace of sadness flashed in their eyes, picked up the wine bowl, signaled to Lu Chen, and drank it all.
"You two rabbit cubs, you both said that you waited for the eldest lady to give you stew, why did you secretly drink it!" The old woman came out with two plates of jerky and smiled.
"Auntie, isn't this gluttony!" Zhongxu said with a smile, but his expression looked a little far-fetched.
"That's it, auntie, this is good wine!" When the words fell, Ba Ming seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly got up, "Auntie, I'll accompany you to serve food!"
Lu Chen frowned, looked at the two figures who turned around and walked towards the stone house, only to see Ba Ming whispering something, and the eldest lady raised her hand from time to time to wipe her eyes.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Lu Chen wanted to use the power of his soul to investigate, but he was too disrespectful to others, so he could only ask Ge Lao.
"Take a good look at the old man!" After the elder finished speaking, he sighed.
"Isn't it good, full of spirit, and it is completely ...... two people outside the clan" Speaking of this, Lu Chen's eyes condensed, and his face changed suddenly.
"Old man......" Lu Chen's voice was low, and his heart was a little blocked.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's old, who hasn't seen such a day, I can see them rest in peace, the old man is satisfied, it's just ......" The old patriarch Ling stomped before he finished speaking, and turned his head to look at the lady who was wiping her face from time to time in the stone house.
Lu Chen's heart was low, he even wondered if he had come by mistake, was it because of his arrival that the old man suddenly came back?
"Little guy, don't think too much, I learned that there is a corpse of a Gu clan hanging outside the tribe, the old man's heart is dead, it is you, let the old man come alive, the old man has to thank you!"
The old man didn't want the young man in front of him to feel ashamed, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort, it was not his fault, in his opinion, he was already dead, but the will in his heart made him hold on to his breath.
"But ......" Lu Chen's heart was blocked, he didn't know how to speak, he met the old man for the first time, but he could feel the old man's concern for the clansmen, and the worry about his wife, in his heart, except for himself, everything seemed to be a concern.
"Hmph, good wine and meat can't stop your mouth, so if you want to see it, go and see it!" The old woman stepped out and brought a pot of stew to the table.
picked up the wine bowl and looked at the young man in front of him, "Young man, thank you, this bowl of wine, the eldest lady respects you!" After speaking, it was also a bowl of wine and drank it all.
"Auntie, I'm ......" Lu Chen hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine bowl.
"Young man, what the old man said is right, we are all people who have half a foot in the soil, during this time, watching him sit here, looking at the direction of the tribe in the distance, the eldest lady feels uncomfortable, the eldest mother really thank you!"
After speaking, he poured another bowl of wine, and was about to drink it again, but was stopped by Lu Chen and Ba Ming.
"Auntie......" Lu Chen's voice was also a little choked.
"Okay, hurry up, look at you, it's in a bad mood!" The old patriarch of Ling Stomping put the wine bowl on the stone table, a little displeased.
"You know nagging, aren't you tired after talking about it all your life?" The eldest lady said in an aggravated tone.
"I'm used to it, I can't change it!" Seeing this, the old patriarch of Ling Stomping said very softly, his eyes were closed, and two lines of hot tears rolled down.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, it's all the aunt's fault, you eat well, especially you, clean up after eating, I'll accompany you for a walk tomorrow!" The eldest lady wiped away the tears on her face, and went to help Ling stomp on the old patriarch, "You are still crying when you are old, and you have to help the old lady wipe it for you!"
"Isn't that getting used to it?" The old patriarch smiled and looked affectionately at the old woman who was wiping away her tears.
"Next life, me
I'll marry you!" The old patriarch suddenly grabbed the eldest lady's hands and said, the latter saw this, and saw that he couldn't break free, so he could only let the old man pull it like this.
"I'm not ashamed to be old, there are juniors here!" The old woman's face was slightly red, and she broke free again, turned around and ran into the stone house.
"Patriarch, do you really want to go and see it? The Lu brothers buried them!"
Zhong Xu spoke, his face was not very good, he was a little worried, he knew that the old man was back to light, according to the physique of the clansmen, the old man should have a few more days to live, he didn't want the old man to go, and no one knew when that power would appear.
"Hmm!" The old patriarch nodded firmly, and seeing this, Ba Ming, who wanted to open his mouth to dissuade him, also bowed his head.
"I'll go with the old man!" Lu Chen suddenly spoke.
"This ......" Zhong Xu hesitated, the young man in front of him had already buried their clansmen, and no one wanted him to take any more risks.
"Let's go together!" Ba Ming finally spoke, he knew that he couldn't dissuade the old man.
Following
The first rays of the morning sun fell, Lu Chen sat cross-legged at the end of the stone roof, absorbing the wisps of purple qi that could not be seen from the east, and after a while, Ling stomped into the stone house of the old patriarch's house, and slowly walked out of a person.
"Are you really going?" The hesitant voice came from the stone house, Lu Chen couldn't see the figure, but he knew that it was the eldest lady when he heard the voice.
The old patriarch made a silent gesture and glanced behind him, "It's okay, the old man will come back when he goes to take a look!"
patted the back of his wife's hand, took the package that his wife had prepared for him, and turned around to go to the tribal layman.
The eldest lady nodded, stood outside the stone house, and watched the old man disappear, "I'll wait for you here!" The eldest lady muttered to herself, and then sat down on the stone chair outside the stone house and looked at the direction in which the old man had disappeared.
Seeing this, Lu Chen did not make a sound, his figure disappeared silently, and the black shadow rose and fell in the dark, walking towards the exit of the tribe.
In the distance, the old patriarch of Ling Stomp walked to the exit of the tribe and said a few words to several guards on patrol, the guards looked embarrassed, and finally the two men pressed the shoulders of one of the guards who were blocking, and the guards looked at the old patriarch of Ling Stomping, and finally nodded.
Looking at the old man who disappeared into the dense forest, Lu Chen's figure appeared at the exit, and he didn't think about it, the guard just looked into the tribe, "If you want to go, hurry up!"
When the words fell, two more figures came out of the shadows, it was Ba Ming and the two, the three of them nodded to each other, without saying a word, and a few ups and downs disappeared into the dense forest.
"Well, I'd like to go back and see it too!" A man muttered.
"You can't, I'm afraid this is the only wish of the old patriarch of Lingstomp!" The guard sighed as he looked in the direction in which the figure had disappeared.
There were no words all the way, and the three figures galloped all the way, and they never caught up with the old patriarch of Ling, which surprised Lu Chen, and the speed of the three of them was not slow.
It wasn't until noon, when the scorching sun was in the sky, and the roars of beasts sounded in the dense forest from time to time, that Lu Chen and the three saw the old man standing in front of the stone monument.
"Son, the old man has come to see you!" The old patriarch opened the package, which was full of memorial supplies, incense and candles, and the old man opened the wine jar, "Come on, let's have three cups of wine for our grandfather and nephew!"
With three glasses of wine in his throat, the old man picked up the wine jar, walked around the grave, and spilled the wine, "The old man has come to see you, and it won't be long before the old man will accompany you!"
Sitting in front of the nameless stele for half an hour, the old patriarch of Ling Stomp was like a chatterbox, telling endless words about his past with the deceased behind the stele.
Getting up, the old man wrapped a handful of dirt in front of the grave, and turned to look in the direction where Lu Chen and the others were hiding, "Alas, you three boys!"
After saying that, he turned and walked into the village.
The village is still the same, but it looks a lot dilapidated, in the village, there are a lot of dead leaves, inside the stone houses, the dust covers the memory, many stone houses are shrouded in cobwebs inside and outside, they gradually devour this not very big tribe, and gradually seal the memories of the Ling Stomp tribe.
"It's all gone!" The old man sighed, his figure staggered, Lu Chen and the others stepped forward quickly, wanting to support the old man, but they were stopped by him, "Let me walk by myself!"
The three of them looked at each other, hearts
worried, the last step stopped, watching the old man's rickety figure disappear around the corner.
The sun is setting in the west, "It's not early!" Ba Ming spoke, and the three of them scattered, looking separately in the direction where the old man was going.
After a long time, the three of them appeared in a corner of the village, looking at each other alone, their faces instantly ugly.
"Where else is the old man going?" Lu Chen looked at Zhongxu Lingstomp, they came from the Lingstomp tribe, and it was not impossible to have any secrets in the clan.
Ling stomped his brows furrowed, thinking about everything in this small tribe, and finally shook his head.
"Something's wrong!" Ba Ming's voice was low.
When Lu Chen heard this, the power of his soul spread, his heart and eyes widened, and after a long time, he did not find the old man.
"Will you encounter a powerful demonic beast?" Lu Chen guessed.
The two shook their heads when they heard this, "This is the territory of the clan, the powerful demonic beasts around it will not easily break in, and even if the foreign demonic beasts want to enter, they will have to pass through countless powerful demonic beast territories, the possibility is extremely small, not to mention, the old man's strength is strong, even if I join forces with Ba Ming, it is impossible for the old patriarch to be the opponent."
The three of them frowned, wondering in their hearts, they really couldn't guess why the old man suddenly disappeared, even if they encountered a powerful demonic beast, with the strength of the old man, not to mention whether they could resist it, it was impossible not to make a little noise.
"Go back to the tribe first!" Zhongxu's face was gloomy, he wanted to go back to the tribe to find someone to help, the 100,000 mountains were vast and boundless, and if the three of them wanted to find someone, there was no doubt that they were looking for a needle in a haystack.
Looking at the three people with ugly faces, the guards let them go directly, looking at the three people who rushed in in a hurry, the guards' faces were ugly, "Something happened to the old patriarch of Lingstomp!"
In front of a stone house, two figures stand, next to the stone chair, there is only an unfinished rattan basket, looking at Zhongxu who walked out of the stone house, the two of them have gloomy faces.
"The eldest lady is gone!"
