Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 128 The so-called treasure

The matter of the treasure was told by Meng Rou afterwards, and as for whether it was true or not, he couldn't say it well.

Meng Li, who had just reacted, suddenly turned his head to look at the old village chief, with a hint of surprise on his face, the old man led the topic here, could it be that he wanted to tell the treasure and the treasure?

The old village chief smiled, and did not tell the truth in Meng Li's expectant eyes, but looked at Meng Xi.

"Xi'er, go and get the sword from the bronze statue. ”

Meng Xi nodded solemnly, said a word of ancestral atonement, raised his leg and gently borrowed strength on the bronze statue, and flew to take off the sword on the bronze statue.

The answer lies in this bronze sword. The old village chief took the sword, and after sighing with emotion, his true qi slammed and suddenly broke the bronze sword into two pieces.

Meng Li looked at the bronze sword that had been broken into two, and realized that this copper sword was longer than a normal sword.

The copper sword breaks, and two wooden boxes fall out of it.

Staring at the wooden box that fell to the ground, Meng Li was shocked in his heart.

This is the treasure that Liang Yin and Boss Li want to get?

Meng Xi seemed to have been prepared, and picked up the wooden box that fell from the copper sword at an extremely fast speed and handed it into the old man's hand.

The two wooden boxes are one long and one short, the long one is about three feet, and the short one is less than one foot.

The old village chief took the wooden box, opened it separately, and then showed the treasures that had been hidden in it for a long time.

"Take a good look, this is the treasure that our ancestors hid in our village back then. ”

Meng Li heard the secret of the treasure for the first time, and was more curious than Meng Xi, he lowered his head and looked at the treasure in the wooden box, and then showed a strange look.

These two wooden boxes contain a book of cheats and a long sword!

The people of the rivers and lakes regard the exercises and blades as treasures, and it is understandable to regard them as treasures. But even if it is a treasure again, it should be done in moderation.

The cheats in front of me were yellowed, the margins curled, and tattered, worse than the second-hand books sold on the local stalls. And the long sword, compared to this old book, is even more unbearable, and it is already rusty.

Looking at the contents of the box, Meng Li smiled bitterly, this book and a sword, no matter what, could not make him associate with the word "treasure".

"Grandpa, we are working hard for these two pieces of rags. "Meng Xi is an honest man who dares to speak.

Hearing the disrespect in Meng Xi's words, the old village chief knocked on his head with his backhand, glared and said, "Hugh is talking nonsense, the things of the ancestors, dare to be disrespectful?"

Meng Xi pursed his lips, as if he wanted to refute, but seeing the old man's sharp eyes, he instantly put this idea behind him, and obediently admitted: "Hehe, grandpa taught me a lesson." ”

Meng Li pointed to the contents of the box and said puzzledly: "Grandpa the village chief, I don't understand what you mean. ”

The old village chief sighed: "The root cause of this catastrophe in our Mengjia Village is the things in this box. These two treasures are the exercises practiced by the ancestors and their swords,

When the ancestors created Mengjia Village, they took out these two things when they were dying, and said that they would be given to the destined people, and the second generation of ancestors spent a lot of gold to cast bronze statues in honor of their ancestors, and hid these two things in the bronze sword. Treasures have been passed on to me for more than ten generations, our Mengjia Village has been conscientious and conscientious, abiding by the orders of our ancestors for decades, and I can't imagine that today this thing has almost destroyed my Mengjia Village. ”

Speaking of this, the old man showed a wry smile.

"I have lived for decades, I don't know what a destined person is, and I don't know where to go where these two treasures should be, but now that such a disaster has happened, these two treasures can never be left behind, both of you are the pride of Mengjia Village, and you are ready to travel far away, I, an unfilial descendant, simply do a master for the ancestors and give these two treasures to you. Each of you can choose one!"

Looking at this "treasure" that was a little different from the impression, the faces of the two young men showed resistance.

It's useless for me to give me this rusty sword and broken book!

Meng Xi, who was already dissatisfied with the treasure in his heart, was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he heard Meng Liyi's words say: "The village chief's grandfather's intentions, the two of us must accept it, otherwise it will be unfilial piety to the village chief's grandfather." But after all, I focus on swordsmanship, and this long sword and sword book will be wasted even if I give it to me. So I'm willing to give up this opportunity and give all these two treasures to Meng Xi. ”

"Alas!" Speaking of this, Meng Li suddenly sighed and complained: "In the final analysis, Meng Xi is the most orthodox bloodline in Mengjia Village, and it is most suitable for him to inherit these two treasures." ”

"Good boy, don't say that, in our hearts, you have long been a member of Mengjia Village, and it is my dereliction of duty that I have not given you enough care in the past few years. Hearing the regret in Meng Li's words, the old village chief was in tears, and couldn't help but hold Meng Li in his arms.

Meng Xi was stunned when he saw this unexpected scene.

This...... Can it be like this?

Meng Li could deceive his grandfather, but he couldn't deceive him, his self-sacrificing words just now sounded to Meng Xi, it was simply nonsense. He was sure that Meng Li's purpose in saying this was to dump these two pieces of rags on him.

Okay, you're Meng Li, I'm not done with you.

As long as he thinks of walking the rivers and lakes in the future, he will have to carry a rusty sword on his back and turn over a broken book, Meng Xi wants to cry without tears.

How can there be a teenager who doesn't love fame!

And what is he? He doesn't love fame and notoriety?

It's a shame!

Although Meng Xi also resolutely opposed it afterwards, it was still cleverly resolved by the skillful Meng Li, and in the end he could only accept the two treasures. And was repeatedly told by the old man not to abandon the treasure.

He Meng Xi couldn't understand why his grandfather trusted Meng Li, a shameless man, so much?

The old village chief, who has walked more bridges than young people have walked, is not unable to see Meng Li's intentions. What the old village chief saw was different from Meng Xi's superficial view, but Meng Li's painstaking thinking of others.

It was this hard work that moved him and made him trust Meng Li incomparably.

When Meng Li rejected the treasure, did he really dislike the dilapidated treasure? This answer was only known to Meng Li and the old village chief.

Out of the ancestral hall, Meng Li began to prepare to leave. first went to see Meng Jiangxi, who was sick and bedridden, said goodbye to Meng Rou by the way, and then returned home to pack his luggage.

Meng Li didn't have much luggage, only two changes of clothes. He tied it with a square cloth and walked out of the house with his back on his back.

Before going out, Meng Li looked back at this place where he had lived for more than ten years, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Meng Rou did not come to see him off, this was Meng Li's request. His trip this time is not only to renew his life, but also to take revenge, and only by being alone can his belief be firmer.

Walking all the way out of the village, Meng Li hesitated for a moment on the fork in the road leading to the town, and then changed the route to the back mountain.

In the spring season, this small hillside, which Meng Li named Weedy Mountain, is indeed overgrown with weeds. Walking up the mountain road and into a hidden path, Meng Li walked towards his mother's grave.

Before leaving, how could he not say goodbye to his mother?

Today's mother is no longer alone, and next to her grave, a new grave that has just been cultivated is standing quietly.

This new tomb is Liu Hui's clothed mound, which was specially erected by Meng Rou for Meng's mother, and it also followed Liu Hui's last wish before her death. These two sisters, who were very good in life, finally have a partner to talk to.

put a stick of incense on his mother and kowtowed in front of the two graves. Then, Meng Li officially bid farewell to the village where he had been born and raised for 14 years.

I'm here at this Jianghu!

Descending the mountain the same way, a heart had already flown to Meng Li in the distance, and even his steps felt much lighter.

At the foot of the mountain, a figure stood quietly, as if waiting for Meng Li, who came down the mountain.

When Meng Li saw the man, he slowed down and said, "Why are you here?"

"Because I know you're going to come here for a spin before you leave. Meng Xi's expression was a little lonely. Meng Li will come here, or Meng Hou reminded him, Meng Hou once said that if Meng Li leaves Mengjia Village one day, before leaving, he will definitely go to this mountain for a turn, because his mother is buried on this mountain.

Meng Li frowned and said, "You have something to do with me?"

Meng Xi's fists clenched, and suddenly let go, and he whispered, "I'm here to find you...... Apologies for ......"

Meng Li looked at Meng Xi and felt a little incredible, no one knew how proud this person was, no one knew better than him.

But......

"I didn't hear you clearly. ”

Meng Li stretched his ears with one hand and leaned in front of Meng Xi with a sly smile.

In the past few years, he has been beaten, but he can't be in vain.

"I said ......" Meng Xi's face turned red, and his voice was extremely small.

Well?

Meng Li couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but get closer.

But soon, he regretted the decision.

Meng Xi took a deep breath, unusually, and shouted vigorously, "Yes...... No...... ......"
