Chapter 121: Three Great Immortals
The old man of the village chief looked at Si Chen and patted him on the shoulder.
"Grandpa don't worry, father and mother, as well as Uncle Xiong, have already brought back the food and beasts that they lack. Ye Hang comforted the old man, "It's just ......"
The old man had a bad feeling in his heart, "It's just what's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Ye Hang pursed his lips, his voice was very soft, as if the old man couldn't hear it like this, "Qiang Bo he ......"
"What's wrong with your strong uncle?" the old man raised his crutches and kept hitting the ground, very anxious, "You should say it quickly, what's wrong with your strong uncle?"
"Strong, he... Killed by a bite while hunting a tiger. ”
The old man took a deep breath, and suddenly his eyes were dizzy and his whole body went limp, Si Chen held the old man with lightning speed, and then secretly instilled a trace of soft Yuan Force, and the old man then woke up.
"Grandpa. Ye Hang helped Si Chen to help the old man, and didn't pay attention to how Si Chen got to the back of the village chief, just slowly helped the old man to sit on the chair and patted him gently on the back.
"Your strong uncle is the only bloodline of your second grandfather, and now that he is gone, how can you explain to your second grandfather if you go back to Huangquan. The old man looked extremely excited, and cloudy tears slid down his wrinkled face.
Si Chen felt uncomfortable in his heart, he never thought that mortals would be so miserable.
Si Chen waited until the old man calmed down, and helped Ye Hang support him and walked towards the entrance of the village.
The old man was sobbing all the way, and it was obvious that the death of the man named Qiangbo had hit him very hard.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Liming, Jian Yuqing and others were unloading, and when they saw the old man being helped up, they immediately ran up, while the others stayed behind to continue unloading.
"Father. Dawn came and the old man came in and called softly.
Syllable.
As soon as the words fell, the old man gave Dawn a resounding slap in the face.
Dawn hurriedly knelt down, "Father." Jian Yuqing knelt down.
"I have learned your brother's obituary. Now I ask you what I told you before I set off. The old man's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were red.
"You said to make sure everybody comes back safely. Dawn bowed her head.
"Then why did Cuong die tragically?"
Jian Yuqing begged: "Father, we were originally hunting elk, but we never thought that there was a tiger peeping in the dark, and Brother Qiang was directly bitten off the neck when he was caught off guard. Please don't blame Ah Ming, I, the sentry man, should be fully responsible for this matter. ”
Si Chen walked up to the old man, bowed first, and then said, "Grandpa the village chief." I wonder if you'd like to listen to me?"
The old man nodded.
"In my opinion, this matter has nothing to do with Uncle Li and Aunt Qing, all the relationship is with those three immortal disciples, you are originally a simple villager, but you have to suffer such oppression. I regret Uncle Qiang's death, but Uncle Li and Aunt Qing have protected us along the way, and he has indeed done his duty. ”
The village chief sighed and turned his head to look to the side, his face sad. "This village has existed for hundreds of years, and life in the village has always been simple and carefree, but when I was the village chief, I experienced this kind of thing. What an unfortunate thing. If something happens to the village, I will have to die to apologize. ”
"Father, don't think like that. Dawn took a step forward on her knees, "I'll protect this village with my life." Please also enjoy your old age in peace. ”
Si Chen hugged the defeated demon and sighed quietly, and he could already see Jian Yuqing and Ye Hang already wiping tears in his afterglow.
"Rise first, both of you. The village chief leaned over slightly and helped Liming and Jian Yuqing up. "I have wronged you this time, you are all my good boys. There was a smile on the village chief's face, but there was some bitterness in that smile.
At such an age, it is true that he should have enjoyed his old age in peace, but he has to suffer such a fate. Si Chen stroked the head of the defeated demon, very helpless.
"Are you ready?" the old man looked at the entrance of the village, and saw the goods unloaded from the wagon.
"Yes. Dawn nodded, "The goods are all ready." Liming's eyes were a little dim, "Brother Qiang's body has already been brought to the ancestral hall first." ”
The village chief did not speak.
Si Chen said: "Grandpa the village chief, you better go back and rest first." There's Uncle Li here, and they're fine. ”
The village chief touched the back of Si Chen's head, "You little doll, it's really cute." ”
Ye Hang smiled and said, "Grandpa, Sichen is going to live in our village for a while." When the time comes, I will take him to see you often. ”
"Good, good. The old man said with a smile, walking back step by step on crutches. Walking slowly, hunched over, messy white hair shaking wantonly in the wind.
Si Chen looked at the old man's back and stood for a long time, his eyes flooded with deep compassion. In the past, most of the circles he communicated with were Skywalkers, but he had never felt the warmth and coldness of the mortal world so closely. These helplessness, sadness, stubbornness, unyielding and deep desire for survival made Si Chen's heart shake violently.
The judge looked around, and smiled slightly, "It's expanded again." ”
That night, more than 100 villagers gathered in the ancestral hall to keep vigil for the dead Li Qiang. He sacrificed for the sake of the village, and all the villagers tied white ropes on their heads, sat on both sides of the coffin without saying a word, keeping their blessings to Li Qiang in their hearts, and silently waiting for the arrival of daylight the next day.
In the next few days, Sichen mingled with Ye Hang during the day and met some children of the same age in the village. Jian Yuqing also specially made a set of clothes for Si Chen to wear, the one he wore was too expensive for the people in this village, Jian Yuqing was afraid that such good clothes would be torn between the children and playing.
These days, Si Chen dresses the same as everyone else, eats the same as everyone, although everyone is speculating about where Si Chen comes from, why his eyes are dark blue, maybe he was born from a famous family, and he is also a relative of the emperor, but Si Chen did not mention anything about family affairs, and he was polite, generous and decent, so everyone didn't ask more. Anyway, Sichen is very pleasing in this village.
Three days later, Si Chen was still playing with Ye Hang on the cricket, and suddenly heard an unusual commotion in the village, Ye Hang hurriedly put down what he was doing, Si Chen picked up the defeated demon, and the two immediately ran to the entrance of the village.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found that there were two people standing there at this time, two men and one woman, both in their twenties.
Si Chen and Ye Hang came to Liming and Jian Yuqing's side, Jian Yuqing took the two into her arms and stepped back slightly.
The village chief stood alone in front of the crowd.
"Do we want everything we have prepared for you?"
"It's all set. The old man arched his hand, then waved his hand back, and the goods of the three carts were pushed up by six big men.
"I don't know if the three immortals can let my village go. The old man arched his hand.
The three young men raised their chins and looked very satisfied, "You have done a good job, and now there is one more thing for you to do." ”
The old man's heart sank, "I don't know what else the Great Immortal commands." ”
"My masters need three young children, and your village is honored to have been chosen. Now you have selected three toddlers, and we are going to take them with the goods. The woman said.
"What!" one of the villagers shouted, "why take our children?" ”
"It's a blessing for your village that you can choose three children to become immortals like us, and no other village wants it, what is it called!" one of the men retorted.
The old man trembled angrily, "This can't be. All the people in our village like such a simple life, and they dare not peep into the fairy road. Please also ask the three great immortals to take these goods and go. Spare our village. ”
"You dare to disobey the will of the immortals, this is looking for death!" The man who spoke before reached the old man's approach at a very fast speed, and he raised his foot and was about to kick it down. If this kick is kicked on the old man, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.
"Father!" exclaimed Dawn.
However, the man's raised foot was firmly grasped by a delicate hand.
Jian Yuqing covered her mouth with one hand.
"I said, with this bit of strength, you dare to call yourself an immortal?" It was Si Chen who caught the man's footsteps, and he sneered.
Then, in the man's frightened gaze, he threw the man out directly with one hand. (To be continued......)
