Chapter 46: A Hero Must Be a Hero
The cripple was the first deceased to live alone.
When Xu Chong arrived with Zhao Liu, a small bare dirt bag had already been built outside Wang Cripple's house.
In the mouth of Wang Cripple half a year ago, the old sister-in-law of 'Bad Joy' knelt alone in front of the earthen bag, and after seeing Xu Chong, she also showed a faint smile and a hoarse voice: "It's Xu Xianggong who is here." ”
"Old sister-in-law, Brother Wang, he ...... I remember he was physically tough? ”
Xu Chong wanted to speak and stopped.
Wang Cripple's leg disease fell when he was young, and he had already passed the period when he would mutilate his body, and with the help of the original body in the past two years, his body bones had already been raised, and it should be far from his turn...... There are so many sick and disabled people in the city.
"Tough? It turns out that all the dead are the weak..."
I don't know if it was the death of Wang Cripple that made the old sister-in-law see it or what, but she suddenly caught the key point in Xu Chong's words.
As soon as she said that, her back suddenly straightened, and after a moment she eased up and continued to speak.
"About ten days ago, Lao Wang said that he would go to the river to catch two fish, but the fish were not caught, and he contracted the wind cold."
"The family doesn't have any extra money to find a doctor, and he doesn't want to trouble the adults anymore, so he just holds on."
"Until last night..."
"Whew...... Last night, the doors and windows were locked, and there were no outsiders in the house, and Lao Wang suddenly curled up in a ball. ”
"I guessed that thing came to ask for his life, and he wanted to go out to find you, an adult, but Lao Wang..."
"He was so painful that he couldn't shout, but he grabbed me and made me look at ......"
Then, right under my nose, a red light came out of the top of his head, divided into four parts, and disappeared, and the old king dried up little by little.
"Probably over... It took three hours before he completely lost his breath. ”
Red light, divided into quarters.
Xu Chong thought of something.
"Originally, I was still angry in my heart, the old ghost will die, why do you want me to watch from the side? What about tormenting me for nothing? ”
"I didn't understand until I just saw the adults."
“…… He must have thought that this would be useful for adults. ”
The old sister-in-law glanced at Xu Chong, there was no fear or sadness in her eyes, but a sense of relief.
Zhao Liu tilted his head abruptly, gritting his teeth desperately to keep the thing in his eye socket from falling.
Xu Chong was silent for a moment, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
The pace was fast and urgent.
Walking out of the distance, Zhao Liucai followed.
"How much money was left?"
Xu Chong walked and asked.
"Your Excellency can see it...... If you don't have much left, you can set up a monument and burn some paper money. ”
Zhao Liu's tone was a little heavy.
"I don't need it."
Xu Chong shook his head.
"Huh?"
Zhao Liu was stunned.
She forcibly held back her cough several times, and it was very uncomfortable, plus that voice...... It's gone. ”
Xu Chong explained calmly.
Zhao Liu's face froze suddenly.
That's it...... The old sister-in-law tensed her back several times, and she didn't pay attention at the time, but now that she thinks about it, isn't it just the way she coughs.
And that voice, I thought it was crying hoarse......
Just when Zhao Liu was stunned, a panicked voice came.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
One of the officials ran out of breath and began to shout from afar.
Xu Chong's heart sank.
If he remembers correctly, this official has a good relationship with Li Quanan's family, and after Lao Li was paralyzed, he also took the initiative to apply to patrol that area to facilitate care.
Really.
Before he could get closer, the official shouted.
"My lord, Lao Li, he's dying!"
……
……
Lao Li sat against the wall, his forehead was bruised, and his face was covered with sweat that had endured pain.
A red light came out of his Baihui acupoint, evenly divided into four parts, and disappeared after extending a foot.
"You... Don't bear the pain if you are in pain... Yes... All right? ”
The woman lay down in front of the bed, her voice trembling beyond measure, "It's all family...... If you just cry, we will still ... Will you still laugh at you? ”
"Crying?"
Lao Li pouted at the young boy next to him, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Tell your mother, who am I?" ”
"Daddy is a hero who fights against thieves!"
The childish boy shouted without hesitation, quite imposing.
"yes...... Daddy is a hero who fights against thieves. ”
With the words of the baby, Lao Li's pain seemed to be alleviated a lot, and he spoke a lot more neatly, "A hero must look like a hero, right?" ”
"A hero should look like a hero?"
The child repeated, his eyes lit up.
He was only two years old, and he didn't understand this sentence very well, but he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
Lao Li smiled and said to his mother-in-law: "Have you remembered what I told you the day before yesterday?" ”
"Remember... Remembered ......"
The woman couldn't hold back any longer, tears came out of her eyes, "I listened to you, took the baby to remarry, raised the baby to adulthood, and let him repay Lord Xu's kindness......"
Hearing this, Lao Li closed his eyes and stopped talking, and all his mind was used to fight against pain.
Knock knock.
Xu Chong had been here for a while, waiting outside the door, and only then did he reach out and knock twice on the door frame.
The woman saw the person coming clearly, and quickly got up from the ground, "Lord Xu is here... You guys...... You talk. ”
So saying, the woman stooped down and picked up the child, and went out of the house.
The immature gaze fell on Xu Chong, full of curiosity.
Master Xu...... Is it the biggest and biggest hero in Daddy's mouth?
Squeak –
The door was closed by the woman.
Xu Chong no longer procrastinated, stepped forward with a stride, and reached out to put his hand on Lao Li's wrist.
Zhengyang Jin spat out and slowly poured into the Yanggu acupoint.
One, two, three......
After ten breaths, Lao Li's painful complexion finally eased and he opened his eyes, "My lord, this is the power of martial arts, right?" ”
"Do you remember?"
Xu Chong asked.
"Well, I remember."
Lao Li's eyes moved upward, and he could barely see a branch of red light, "When this thing chose me, I remembered." ”
Including martial arts, including the battle at the city gate, including the name Liu Xiaoqing, and the mountain song.
"I ......"
Xu Chong opened his mouth, "I can't save you." ”
Under his vigorous swimming, Lao Li was just no longer in so much pain, and the red light above his head did not waver for half a minute from beginning to end.
"No need, sir."
Lao Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's enough to live so long, and with adults here, I can't let go of anything." ”
"I can give you a good treat if you want."
Xu Chong said this sentence expressionlessly.
"Don't!"
Lao Li pretended to be frightened, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Last time it was a small joke, how dare you really die, it will be ...... to live a little longer."
"You're not good at lying."
Xu Chong looked at Lao Li quietly, "You can see that it is the handiwork of the Bloody Guard, right?" ”
“…… Hehe, it's still an adult smart. ”
Lao Li smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "This thing wants me to be crippled, just give it to it, it is going to die after all, and it is not worth the risk of adults." ”
Xu Chong was silent.
Because he couldn't be sure whether ending Lao Li's life early would affect Fu Yuanlong's arrangement.
"You ......"
"Let's go."
After a sentence of mourning in person, Xu Chong pushed the door out.
Outside the door, the woman was still wiping away her tears, and the child did not say a word, apparently aware of something.
Xu Chong squatted down in front of the child, "What's your name?" ”
"Li Xiangxue."
The child's milky voice replied.
"Uncle took you to play marbles, how about it?"
Xu Chong stretched out his right hand, and there was a transparent bead in his palm.
The childish boy looked up at his mother, and then smiled and shook Xu Chong's hand.
"Okay."
