Chapter 872: Dream
"Is Master Chen sure to enter that fishing village?"
"He's still figuring it out, but he says it seems to involve the law of time, and it's unlikely that he can get into it."
The law of time?
Zuo Qing's expression suddenly became solemn.
Once the law is involved, it means that the matter is beyond the scope of human beings to deal with, even if it is a human ceiling, without ascending to the divine realm to master the law, it is impossible to shake the law at all.
And the only king in Great Xia who has the time god ruins is still missing at this moment.
Even if Wang Mian comes back, he may not be able to do anything with this law, the divine ruins that control time and the law of time are completely two levels of existence, not to mention that Wang Mian is still only at the peak of "Klein", and it is impossible to break the law of time.
While Zuo Qing was pondering, a night watchman walked briskly and handed over the document in his hand.
"Commander Zuo, I found it."
"Have you found the intersection between Chen Lu and that fishing village?"
"Well, Chen Lu entered the night watchman more than fifty years ago, and the age is too old, and it is more troublesome to find his file, but I still found it."
Commander Zuo took the document and flipped through it carefully.
"Chen Lu's hometown is a small fishing village in Ningchang County, and judging from the address he filled in back then, it is consistent with the location of this fishing village."
"He came out of that fishing village?" Zuo Qing opened his mouth in surprise.
"That's right, when the night watchman recruited recruits, in order to verify the identity of the recruits, they also sent people to visit that fishing village, and they didn't find anything unusual at that time, and there were some photos and conversation records about that fishing village in the documents."
Zuo Qing took out a few old photos from the document and flipped through them one by one, most of them were photos of young Chen Lu and his father Chen Gou, the two of them standing on a fishing boat, one carrying a fish, smiling brightly.
"It doesn't seem like there's a problem......" Zuo Qing said puzzled, "In other words, when Chen Lu entered the night watchman, there was no change in that fishing village?" ”
"That's right."
"Also, if there was a problem with that fishing village back then, then Chen Lu would not be able to get out of it." Zuo Qing nodded, flipped through the last photo, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
In all the photos, it is the only photo of the three of them, in addition to the young Chen Lu and the middle-aged Chen Gou, there is also an old man lying on a rocking chair in the photo, holding a ball of pu fan in his hand, looking at the camera reluctantly, with an old-fashioned and serious expression.
"Who is this?" Zuo Qing pointed at the old man and asked.
"It's Chen Lu's grandfather, Chen Yangrong."
Zuo Qing nodded, read all the documents, and fell into deep thought again.
"Chen Lu has been going home for so many years, have you seen it at home?"
"No, he never went back."
"Strange ......"
"What's wrong?"
"If when Chen Lu left home, there were no changes in the fishing village, and Chen Lu had not been back once in the past 50 years...... So how did he know what was going on in the fishing village? Why did he think that as long as [Mask] and [Nightfall] entered the fishing village, they would definitely die? ”
……
Fishing village.
The sun shines on the sparkling sea, and the snow-white waves roll and wash up the shore, shaking the fishing boats on the shore slightly.
Several fishermen walked out of the village, skillfully preparing the tools for going out to sea, and greeted each other with a smile while busy:
"Erzhuzi, are you going to sea today?"
"Yes, it's a pity not to go to sea with such good weather."
"Also, let's try to drive as far as possible today and strive to make a lot of money."
"What? Running out of money lately? ”
"Almost, isn't that one in my family about to give birth......"
"Oh, congratulations!"
"Eh, Lao Gou, you still don't go to sea today?"
Next to the moored fishing boat, Chen Gou was dressed in coarse linen clothes, standing alone in front of the waves, looking at the sea in the distance and stunned.
Hearing the call of the other fishermen, Chen Gou came back to his senses, and after being silent for a moment, he still shook his head: "No, you guys go." ”
The other fishermen looked at each other, as if they were a little entangled, and finally someone spoke up to comfort: "Lao Gou...... It's still necessary to look at the point, doing our business is like this, no one knows when we go to sea and won't be able to come back, but no matter what, we have to continue to live. ”
Seeing that Chen Gou was still standing there looking at the sea in a daze, the other fishermen shook their heads helplessly and went out to sea with the fishing boat.
"Uncle Chen."
A voice came from behind Chen Gou.
He turned his head and saw that An Qingyu had walked behind him at some point and smiled at him.
"Is that you?" Chen Gou opened his mouth in some surprise, "Didn't you leave this morning?" ”
"Anyway, it's still early, and I'm not in a hurry to go back, I haven't seen a fishing village since I'm so old, so I want to see more." An Qingyu naturally sat down on the shore next to Chen Gou.
Chen Gou glanced at An Qingyu a few times and nodded slightly, "Looking at what you are wearing, you really look like a child of a big family in the city, and it is normal to never see going out to sea to fish." ”
"Uncle Chen, they all went to sea to fish, why don't you go?"
Chen Gou didn't answer, he took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it in his mouth, took a deep breath, the white smoke escaped along his breath, dissipated in the sea breeze, he stared at the sea in the distance, and slowly spoke:
"The other day, my dad and I went out fishing and the boat was overturned in a storm...... I was lucky enough to be caught by other villagers' fishing boats, but my dad didn't. ”
“…… Condolences. An Qingyu didn't know how to comfort Chen Gou, so in the end he could only say these two words.
Then, he glanced at Chen Gou with some doubts, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Uncle Chen, your father should be very old, right?" At this age, do you still need to go out to sea to fish? ”
"No, he hasn't been to sea for many years." Chen Gou shook his head, "Didn't I tell you that I have a son who is going outside?" ”
"Hmm."
"Two days ago, he sent a letter, saying that he had gone to be a soldier, and that the food in the camp was not very good, and my father was very happy when he heard that he had gone to serve as a soldier, so he wanted to go to sea to catch a few big fish for him and send them to him to improve the food...... But who knows, once gone, he never came back. ”
An Qingyu fell silent.
"Actually, it's really not a big deal." Chen Gou opened his mouth in vicissitudes, "Going out to sea to fish, it is originally gambling on life, I have seen countless skilled fishermen buried in the sea, we were born in the sea, raised in the sea, and finally buried in the sea, which is also a good home......
Chen Gou paused and continued: "However, this time is different. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Hmm." Chen Gou spoke slowly, "These two days...... My dad gave me a dream. ”
