Chapter 65 The longevity tree in the longevity village, the short-lived people under the longevity

"I found it."

Su Xiaolou was holding a fire gun in the martial arts field, there was already a stick of incense, his hands were shaking like sifting chaff, at this time the arms were not arms, the legs were not legs, and they were about to be abolished, hearing Helian Zhi's voice as if he had been amnestied, he limped over and hugged Helian Zhi: "Dude, why have you been there for so long, brother, I want to kill you." ”

Helian Zhi looked confused: "Are we very familiar with this benevolent brother?" ”

Zhu Houxi also came over and asked curiously, "How is the investigation?" Tell me about it. ”

Helian Zhi spoke excitedly, he followed Su Xiaolou's instructions, disguised himself as a person who bought longevity fruits, sneaked into several villages near the place where the man's body was salvaged in Weihe, and secretly asked the children in the village if they had seen this person, Helian Zhi was quite proud, children are good routines, but he didn't expect a few strings of sugar gourds to find out.

The man is a man from Changshou Village, there is a very old man in the family, several brothers in the family take care of their father's diet and daily life all the year round, day and night take turns to stay in front of the couch, when the old man is seriously ill, please treat the old man with a famous doctor, never stingy with precious medicinal materials, in order to judge his father's condition, and even taste feces, and the old man's favorite youngest son poured wine into his father when his father was seriously ill, as a result, the old man died the next day, the younger son was very guilty afterwards, and committed suicide, this kind of person should be thundered and struck by the sky, and we still think that he is a good person and want to find out the truth about the murder for him. ”

Zhu Houxi heard that there were filial sons among the people who could taste feces, and he couldn't help but be a little moved, such filial piety touched the heavens and the earth, and should be praised by the world, the youngest son deliberately murdered his father, it is really deserved, and there is no need to investigate.

Su Xiaolou suddenly asked, "Then have you checked this longevity village?" ”

"Checked, Changshou Village is famous because there are many centenarians, and there is a kind of longevity fruit growing in their village, which is said to prolong life by eating it all year round, so the selling price is four or five times that of ordinary fruits, and it will be robbed when it is ripe, so the people in this village are very rich."

Zhu Houxi heard that there was such a miraculous fruit in the world, maybe he could cure his father's illness, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Xiaolou: "Brother Su, isn't this the peach on the fairy island in your story?" I didn't expect that there was such a thing on the ground in my Anlu Prefecture, Brother Su is well-informed, do you think this longevity fruit can really prolong life? ”

Su Xiaolou was stunned, the world is so big, many things can't be explained by science, maybe there are really fruits that can prolong life, but with the soul of the twenty-first century, he knows that immortality is a scam, and the emperors who have been strong throughout the ages have not been able to live forever, but there are still many emperors in the past dynasties who have exhausted their national strength, and asked the immortals to refine the elixir of life, Zhu Houxi was like this in his later years, is it because there is no one in the court to advise him?

"Prolonging life is the way to change one's life against the sky, it is not uncommon for overseas fairy islands to produce longevity peaches, and it is rare for rural villages to have such magical fruit trees, perhaps it is the benevolence of King Xing and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, benefiting the people, and the blessings of heaven, but after all, it is necessary to know after seeing it on the spot."

"It's still Brother Su's thoughtfulness, and this son thinks the same way, it's getting late today, I've told my father, and we'll go to Changshou Village tomorrow to have a look."

At the dinner table, Zhu Houxi talked about it, but he didn't expect King Xing to be very interested, so he had to follow to see what the tree that could produce longevity fruit looked like.

Early the next morning, King Xing rode in a carriage, and Su Xiaolou, Zhu Houxi, and Su Xiaolou rode horses and set off with some more guards.

Changshou Village is in a closed mountain, only a Wei River flows from here, the mountain road is rugged, a group of people walked for half a day to arrive, but the whole mountain bell is beautiful, and the smoke in the distance is like a fairyland.

Entering the village, Helian Zhi invited the village chief, the village chief is a ninety-nine-year-old man, on crutches, without a trace of gray hair on his head, and his movements are also very agile, as if the crutches are only used to show his identity as the village chief, and this super long standby body is the envy of King Xing.

The whole village is surrounded by mountains, in fact, when they came down from the mountain road, they could see the whole village clearly, and the southeast side of the village was planted with a whole field of peach trees, which was even larger than the farmland.

The village chief learned that it was King Xing who came to visit, his face was first stunned, and then he warmly received them, and led them to the peach forest, a few people walked in the village, there was a feeling of walking in the county seat of Anlu Prefecture, and I didn't see a thatched house for so long. But it's really an old man with eyebrows and a white beard who is still wandering around the street like a normal person, and he shouldn't be trembling with a crutch at this age!

King Xing asked curiously, "How old did your oldest old man live?" ”

The village chief said with some pride: "Our village will record the time of birth and death of every villager, once a villager lived to be 129 years old, originally this villager could break the limit of longevity in the history of the village in three days and live to be 130 years old, but it's a pity!" Pity. ”

The village chief sighed again and again, feeling extremely sorry, Zhu Houxi comforted: "The life expectancy is fixed, it is beyond the force of manpower, the old people don't have to be sad, one hundred and twenty-nine years old is already a high life beyond the reach of ordinary people." ”

"He didn't die of natural causes, but was drunk by his adopted son and died, this little beast, competing to be so cruel to his own father, it's really a pity to die."

Su Xiaolou suddenly asked, "How did he die?" ”

The village chief was visibly flustered, and quickly regained his composure and said, "He...... He killed his father, felt that he had no face to live in this world, and jumped into the river to die. ”

Helian Zhi said angrily: "Sure enough, it is the beast that the prince caught two days ago. When he said this, Su Xiaolou noticed that the old man's hand trembled, and his whole nerves were a little nervous.

Talking and talking, the group arrived at the peach orchard, it was already autumn, the fist-sized peaches were all over the branches, each peach was red and there was no variegation at all, the village chief was very enthusiastic to invite someone to pick a few fruits for everyone to taste, Su Xiaolou bit it and saw that it was deeper blood red and juicy, like blood to flow, but unexpectedly sweet.
