Chapter 391: Post Station
Under the starlight, the post station that was lifted off the roof.
Three people of different sizes faced the corpse on the ground, relatively silent.
“…… I just wanted to get him to keep his head down. ”
In the end, it was the largest little giant who spoke first.
"I'm sure he's in control, but his head is ...... It's just, it's too brittle, you understand, right? It's like a wine jar in the back kitchen, just throw it on the ground......"
“……”
At this moment, the old man and the young man can't listen to it at all, they are all ordinary people, where have they seen such a fierce scene, a person's head is broken when he says it, this is simply ......
"Let's think about what to do first."
Among the old and the young, after all, it is the old one who comes back to his senses first.
"This is not in vain, people die, and they always have to ......"
"Reporter?"
Before the old man could finish speaking, the little giant had already seen what he wanted to say from the other party's expression.
And his gaze also turned to the old man.
"Report ...... It must not be reported. ”
Being stared at like this by a giant who was close to two feet old and had just killed someone, the old man sweated.
"You saved our lives, so how can we harm you?"
"That's not it, if you really report to the official, I'll run."
The little giant looked indifferent, obviously confident in the face of fast catchers - but think about it, just this huge body of nearly two feet is no longer what those catchers in the town can take. If the other party must run...... It seems that it can really run away.
But even if the little giant can run away, what about the two of them?
"No, I do have to report to the official."
Just when the old man was trembling, the young man who came back to his senses suddenly raised his head.
"He's the villain, we were almost killed by him, and now that we've all beaten him to death, why don't you report it to the official?"
"Huh? It seems that this is indeed the case. ”
The little giant patted his head on the spot.
"It's really a bad brain, tonight it's clear that this knife-wielding robber is eating the overlord's meal and robbing the post station, we are obviously the good people who killed the robber on the spot...... I've always wondered what those corpses are for? ”
As he said this, the little giant had already picked up the corpse on the ground.
"Then I'll go to the police first, and you can also keep the scene of the crime."
Carrying the bloody corpse like a chicken, the little giant strode away.
Only the old man and the teenager were left, relatively silent.
“…… Elderly. ”
After a long time, the young man turned his head stiffly and looked at the old man.
"Where did you find such an apprentice?"
"How do I know?"
Seeing the giant leave, the old man gradually recovered from the fear he had just had.
If he is asked to say where this apprentice came from, he actually can't say clearly, if he must count, probably just a few days ago, this huge giant man who can no longer be described as a big man, passed by the post station and came to him to find something to eat.
Although the huge man is terrifying to look at, but in these years, even the evil monsters are running all over the place, and some huge people have appeared, but it is still acceptable, not to mention that this big man actually gave the silver money first, and he looked very good at talking, and the old man was happy to give the other party this meal.
But who would have thought that his simple craftsmanship would make the giant's eyes light up, and after chatting for a few words, he knew that this huge giant man actually had research in cooking, and his attainments were quite profound.
However, it is such a giant who has studied cooking skills that he actually opened his mouth to worship him as a teacher.
"There is no order to learn, and those who reach it are teachers. It's true that I know some restaurant practices, but I don't know how to do your craft, so I still have to learn it, and the tuition is not a problem. ”
The old man remembered that the giant man had said so.
The old man is old, and where has he ever enjoyed such treatment, only those who teach can be called sir, and he actually has a day when he is restrained - of course, the most important thing is that he gives too much.
So after thinking about it, the old man also accepted this giant man and treated him as an apprentice.
It sounds like a long time ago, but in fact, it is a matter of noon when it comes to accepting apprentices, at least during the day, this giant man is still very good at talking, just looking at the kind appearance, he doesn't look like a vicious villain at all, but who would have thought ......
"Maybe it's really the thief's head that's too brittle?"
After thinking about it, the old man could only come to this conclusion.
After all, when he subconsciously wanted to report to the official just now, the giant man's reaction was to run directly, instead of killing or something, how could such a good and good person intentionally kill someone?
"It's you."
Thinking of this, the old man's gaze turned to the young man.
"I've seen you kid during the day, why are you still here at night? What about your family? ”
"I ......"
Hearing the old man mention his family, the young man's nose was sour.
As the so-called man has tears and does not flick, but not to the sad place, just now he was still immersed in the shock brought by the little giant, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and now the old man mentioned it, and the young man realized that before he knew it, he really had revenge.
Even a teenager who had never cried in front of his parents' graves was already in tears before he knew it.
The old man is old, where can he see this, he simply helped the young man to the table, and used the remaining wine on the table to suppress the young man's shock, and after a few glasses of wine, the young man also took his own experience, from the military disaster to the disaster, to the flying disaster, and then to the revenge now, 1510 said it to the old man, and the old man also drank the stuffy wine, and sighed for a while.
"They're all hard-working people......"
After a few drinks, the old man sighed, and also followed the atmosphere, and talked about some past events that he did not want to mention.
Originally, this post station was not run by the old man himself, he was old enough to do this, it was his son who really ran this post station, that was a young man in the prime of life, that is, a few years ago, his son felt that the current year was quite peaceful, it was a good time for those businessmen and pedestrians to make money, so he simply raised some money and found a relationship to plate this old post station, which can be regarded as a family to have a positive business.
But who would have thought that it wouldn't be long before the fight broke out in the north, and there was chaos everywhere in Dachen, and this small post station naturally lost its former glory - of course, if it just didn't make any money, it was actually not a big deal, and the hard days were not unbearable, and it would be over after enduring.
However, his son couldn't help it.
It was obviously a chaotic year, but his son had other thoughts, relying on some savings in his hand, he directly asked someone to find a relationship and bought a sinister blade back.
"Huh?"
The young man who was still crying was stunned unconsciously.
As an ordinary person, although he has not practiced any martial arts, he at least knows the evil qi blade, I heard that this thing is not something that ordinary people can touch at all, once ordinary people touch it, they will be angry on the spot, and become a madman who only knows how to slash people.
This kind of thing...... What do you buy it for?
He said yes...... Buy it for self-defense. ”
The old man lowered his head and looked at the remnants of wine in his glass.
At least in front of him, his son had always said that the sword was bought for self-defense, but as a father, he couldn't see that his son was really going to do something with this sword - but when he said that it was dangerous, his son just said that he was too old to understand these things.
Fortunately, he could see that his son had not yet become a martial madman who cut people when he saw them, and he still retained his normal sanity.
In this way, after having a sword, his son no longer cared about the affairs of the inn, but ran to the town all day long, and got together with the people who also wore the sword, saying that they were practicing martial arts together and striving for self-improvement—the old man could see clearly that this was what his own child was preparing to drill into the camp again, just as he had come to this post station in the first place, and his son had always had an idea.
"This ...... Truly. ”
Hearing the old man say this, the young man also nodded subconsciously.
Although the boy's family escaped from the desertion disaster, and his parents also died in the flying disaster, before the desertion disaster, the boy's family still had some money in Yangzhou City - although strictly speaking, the boy's family can only be called a little rich and peaceful, but he was born in the city and still has some vision and cognition.
Just like now, as soon as the old man just said it, he already understood that the old man's son should have met some local character in the town, and was learning from the other party, and wanted to constantly jump out of his own small circle and see the bigger world.
It's like buying and selling this post station is easy to say, but in fact, without excellent strength, it is impossible for ordinary people to open it.
But the old man's son took over the operation of the post station only by relying on his relationship.
Listening to the old man's narration, the young man seemed to see a smart and capable young man, who was rising step by step.
But now, he didn't see any trace of the young man.
"What's the use of having ideas?"
The old man continued to drink, and his eyes became darker.
His son is indeed capable, and he already knows that he can't control his son's affairs anymore, and the younger generation has hardened his wings, so he should let the child do it himself - he was even happy about it at the time, thinking that his son might become that kind of amazing character in the future.
Then, there is no then.
One morning two years ago, he finally saw his son again, but instead of coming back normally, he was carried back.
His son was killed while fighting with others, this was the last news he heard, and as for the other details, he could not remember, only that on his son's sturdy body, a huge wound across his chest and abdomen almost cut open his entirety, and he would remember that scene for the rest of his life.
He thought about seeking revenge, but who could he turn to?
The swordsman who fought with his son didn't know where to go for a long time, and even if he wanted to trouble the swordsman, the people in the town showed him life and death - he couldn't read the black and white letters, but he at least saw the handprint printed by his own son, which was the battle that his son personally agreed, and he drew it with his own hands.
What else could he say? What else could he say?
"This ......"
The boy was speechless.
He had also thought about whether he might just pick up a Demonic Blade and try it out for revenge—although he would definitely not be able to touch the Demonic Blade, but it was okay to think about it. If he really has access to those blades and can really have power, can he kill those enemies, can he take revenge?
In the past, he once thought that he could, and he also fantasized about whether he would one day become the kind of chivalrous man who dominated the world and killed all the monsters that killed innocents indiscriminately.
But now it seems......
He was not even as good as the old man's son.
This old man's son dares to compete with others with swords, but if it were him, he probably wouldn't even dare to compete with swords.
"How dare he compete with others?"
Listening to the young man's guard, the old man laughed angrily.
"What is that kid, I don't know? Let him drill into the camp, he has the guts, but if he is allowed to fight with a sword and kill, he will not be able to give him ten guts! ”
"This ......"
The boy was stunned.
How can I say that there is still a secret in this?
"I also found out later."
At this, the old man squeezed his glass tightly.
He knows his son's guts, he himself knows, it's okay to buy a sword and wear it on his body, but he can't do it in any way in a life-and-death battle with people - but the life and death situation in black and white is in front of him, and the swordsman who killed his son has long since left, he doesn't even know who to turn to for revenge, he only knows that this kind of thing should never happen.
"There must be something wrong, my son shouldn't be like this......"
The old man drank the wine one by one, and his expression became more and more bitter.
This made the boy look more and more worried.
Compared with the old man, his situation was even better, although he couldn't beat his enemy, but at least he knew who his enemy was—and now, perhaps because of good luck, he really got his revenge, at least one of his enemies had been crushed to death by the little giant on the spot.
But this old man ...... Even if he wants revenge, who should he turn to? Who is his enemy?
Even if the young man is not very old, he can already hear that the old man's son is afraid that he has been set up to die, but it is precisely because of this that the old man can't find the enemy even if he wants to find it now, and the headless resentment is the most hurtful, which is simply ......
"Okay, okay, it's all over."
The old man sighed, obviously not wanting to continue the conversation.
But the haze under his eyes can't be hidden.
The pain of losing a child, this unforgettable hatred, can it really cover up the past?
Can't, definitely can't, but the old man also knows that his hatred is meaningless.
But is it really pointless?
