Chapter 93: A Strange Village
"Very few people come to our village. Let's go, go to the village with the old man and sit down. "The old man is very kind, and people feel close to each other.
"Okay, but it doesn't matter to the big brother just now, right? You said that he was going to knead the dough and cook, and he walked away in a daze, was it too bad, and the junior seemed to have done something wrong. Luo Yang seemed to smile innocently, but in fact, he was wary in his heart,
"It's okay, it's really dusty! You came at the right time today, our old ghosts are concentrating on brewing wine, and the old arms and legs have no spare energy to take care of him. Hahaha, he seized the opportunity. ”
"Winemaking?" Luo Yang recalled carefully, and his heart "chuckled".
The memory began to unfold a picture, and the old captain stood on the platform of the ruined ruins and sighed: "Alas, if only I could drink a glass of soul wine from my hometown, why bother here." ”
"Captain, how can there be such wine in the world? don't think about it, the team has nothing to do with you. Luo Yang wiped the war knife, his left eye was almost blind, and there were only a few brothers behind him.
"How can it have nothing to do with me, brothers trust their lives, I owe them too much. Luo Yang, if I can't do it, you will take care of the orphans and widows left by my brothers. So, you can't die. Wei Fengchen, who was middle-aged, looked into the distance and said: "There is that kind of wine in my hometown, and I was expected by the old madman to be right, I am not suitable for survival in the outside world, and I want to avoid the battlefield but I still fall in." ”
"Soul wine, wine of forgetting. Luo Yang pressed his fingers to his chest as he walked.
There is not much time, stepping through the terraces that are not too high, and you can see a lively small village.
There was a crystal clear stream running in front of the village, and the old man was so sharp that he was stronger than many young people. Luo Yang followed suit, rubbing his temples lightly with his fingers, he had to be fully prepared.
Soon, the two entered the village.
The people of the village are happy, their faces are full of smiles, and the smoke rises from every house, which is an idyllic scene, as if even the air has an intoxicating fragrance, which makes people feel warm.
"Look at them, the biggest feature of our village is peace, every house is not closed at night, and everyone does not leave a trail. Come on! The old stuff is in seclusion in the front yard, which we call a retirement home. ”
"Hello Grandpa Lin. "The children were playing and fighting, and they were very polite when they saw the old man coming over.
"Hahaha, the imp has grown taller again. The old man smiled and nodded.
Coming to the door of a particularly neat compound, the first thing I smelled was a smell of wine, and someone in the courtyard said: "Good wine, good wine, the fire is three points stronger than before, people should be drunk and dream of death, there is wine today and drunk today." ”
"Hey, you're going too far, and you don't wait for me to start drinking. The old man surnamed Lin walked in quickly, and Luo Yang also followed.
As the sun sets, there are more than a dozen old people sitting in the courtyard, some are ugly, some are fierce, some are graceful, and some are atmospheric, all of which are not idle.
"Oh, is this little guy stopping Xiaochen today?" sat a disabled old man against the wall, his left face seemed to have been corroded by acid, which looked particularly scary, and his right face was very ruddy, and his left trouser leg and right arm sleeve were empty. He was pouring himself a wine glass, and none of the other old men sat in front of him.
"Isn't it, the young people outside are amazing now! At a young age, he became a sword presser and a sealer, and it is very rare to combine the two professions into one. Lin Lao said as he picked up a wine jug from the table, raised his head and poured a sigh, wiped the corners of his mouth and said happily: "Great, this is the best soul wine in these years." ”
"Tsk, changing jobs at this age, it's no wonder that you can easily come in. A voice came from the stone table where the five old men were sitting, but I didn't know which of them was speaking.
"Hello seniors, juniors are called Luo Yang. ”
"What's good, Xiaochen is running out today, and he hasn't cooked dinner yet! By the way, you little guy should be a quick hand, you might as well go and help him." Here, I'll give you a bottle of Soul Wine. Lin Lao shook his hand and threw over a wine bottle.
"Hahaha, you're blessed, the soul wine brewed by us old guys can relieve sorrows, and it has great benefits for the body. "I don't know which old man is talking,
Luo Yang took the wine bottle and nodded busily: "Okay, junior, I'm going to help my eldest brother." ”
"Wait a minute, why are you so unhappy, drink this bottle of wine first to show respect for us. Lin Lao's face changed as soon as he said it, and there was a faint murderous aura spreading on his body. However, this layer of murderous aura is particularly subtle, if it weren't for Luo Yang's refining of sword intent, and the bone sword would be even more sensitive, I'm afraid I wouldn't have felt it.
"Okay, as it should be. Luo Yang opened the cap of the bottle, raised his head and poured the cyan liquor into it, then wiped the corners of his mouth, smiled at the old people, and asked the kitchen to help Wei Fengchen.
Lin Lao nodded, retracted his gaze, and sat down to taste the wine.
"No, I couldn't see this person at all in my calculations, but he just showed up and blocked Xiaochen. What's wrong, is it that damn shielding probability?"
"Mr. Yun, what are you muttering? Didn't you calculate that Xiaochen would leave today, or did you calculate that an outsider would come? We have been suffering for many years, but we should not fall short. Lin Lao's gaze turned cold.
"Be of good cheer, this prophet saves. "The disabled old man closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep while sitting.
Luo Yang found the kitchen and saw Wei Fengchen kneading dough. But what made him strange was that when he got along with the old captain, this guy's cooking skills were so bad that he could never eat the things he made, how could he have such a hand.
"What are you looking at? Come and help. ”
"Well, Brother Wei, you're okay. Luo Yang hurriedly cleaned his hands and saw the half-cut green vegetables on the vegetable pier, and the vegetables were cut smoothly.
"What a ball. ”
Wei Fengchen said depressedly: "Actually, I can't blame you, those old guys are too powerful, and there is a wind and grass in the storm area that can't escape their perception." Alas, I waited a long time for this opportunity, but I was disrupted by you idiot. Now I'm back, and I've been caught back, they pretended to be pitiful last time, and this time they don't even have the patience to act, I don't know if it's good or bad. ”
"I see that Brother Wei has a transfer insignia on his forehead, could it be that there is a temple in this village? Luo Yang had a lot of questions in his heart, but he couldn't be in a hurry, he had to calm down in such a strange situation at the moment.
"It was passed on to me by my master before he died, and I was trained by him since I was a child and became a stormster. Do you know the Stormsters? The most important place to go is the battlefield, but they don't tell me to go. Don't look at me growing up in the village, but I don't have any preferential treatment, my daily job is laundry and cooking. Sometimes I'm scared, because whoever has drunk Soul Wine has incomplete memories, and I'm afraid that my memories have been tampered with. ”
"It's unlikely that soul wine can change memories, right? I drank it too, and I saw that the old people in the courtyard were drinking it. ”
"What? They let you drink so soon?" Wei Fengchen was very surprised, stopped kneading his dough, paced back and forth in the small courtyard where the kitchen was located, walked for a while and said: "Oh no, these old guys are not well-intentioned, since the day I had my heart, I found that none of the people who came in could get out." ”
"So weird?" Luo Yang suddenly covered his head: "Uh, I'm a little dizzy, brother, hurry up and knead the dough, if our brothers don't hurry up and make the meal, Lin Lao will look at it again." ”
"Brothers?" Wei Fengchen was slightly stunned, then shook his head as if he was hypnotized, and said mechanically: "Wei Yang, be quick, brother will cook you something delicious tonight." ”
The two brothers worked diligently and quickly prepared the meal, which was then delivered to the compound on large trays. These old men shook off their cheeks and ate a lot, as if they had just finished a tough battle.
Lin Lao looked at Luo Yang and said deliberately: "Ah Yang, you have a good table today, come to me before you go back and get a bottle of soul wine, you and your brother drink it together." Hehe, this wine is a good thing, it can relieve troubles and sorrows. Your brother wants a daughter-in-law, but there are few girls in the village, either seventy or eighty, or they are too young, let him wait a few more years, and the little one will be married to him when he grows up. ”
"My eldest brother wants to find a daughter-in-law? ”
"Stupid boy, how embarrassed is your eldest brother to mention the matter of his wife in front of your younger brother? Hurry up and get the wine and go back to sleep, we are tired of brewing wine for a long time today, and we also have to take a good rest. ”
"Okay, I'll just take the tray down. Luo Yang's work is nimble, and the disabled old man has been observing him, and he didn't find anything unusual, but he felt even more strange.
Luo Yang returned to Wei Fengchen's residence, lay on his bed, looked at the ceiling and said, "Brother, do you say our family is a little small? We were still squeezed when we were two children, and when we grew up, we couldn't stretch our arms and legs." ”
Wei Fengchen didn't reply, raised his hand to the bed, and quickly took out a long needle and stabbed it into his temple. Then the face was distorted, the lips turned purple, and a "wow" spat wildly.
"Who's your brother? ”
"What's the matter? You're my own brother, made up by a father and a mother
