Chapter 248: The Iron Heart is also helpless
Lu Li returned to the demon clan, and saw that everyone seemed to be doing well, so he relieved himself and followed Lao Kun out of the stall.
Near noon, a child timidly came to the small wine shop, indicating that he had come to find Lu Li.
"Are you looking for me?" Lu Li squatted down, holding the child's arm with both hands, his gaze was parallel to the child's line of sight, Lu Li asked, "Do you recognize me?"
The child didn't answer, just kept staring at Lu Li's face.
Lu Li was furious by the child's gaze and asked, "Where are the adults in your family?"
"Dead. The child finally said, "My father died in the war, and my mother was also killed." ”
Lu Li had long known that Beibang had been in war for many years, with countless casualties, and his heart was sour. Only then did she realize that the child's empty eyes were full of confusion and fear, "Are you hungry? There is only wine here, let me take you to the shop next to you to eat something." ”
The child shook his head, and Lu Li became even more curious, "Then you came to me?"
"My uncle called me. ”
"Your uncle called you, what about the others?"
"Dead. ”
"Huh?" Lu Li was confused, "your uncle...... How did you die?"
"Uncle wanted to go to you last night, but the Great Elder found out about it and killed him. ”
Lu Li was like being struck by lightning, and his tongue was knotted and asked, "What did you say?"
"Last night, my uncle said that we were going to look for you in the North Underworld, but before I could leave the station, my uncle was killed. Before we were approached, my uncle hid me by spell and told me that if anything happened, I would come to this tavern the next day to find you. ”
Lu Li was puzzled: "Your uncle knows that I am coming to this tavern?"
"Uncle said that if you are not there, I will beg the patriarch of the Kun clan to take me to meet you. The child glanced at Lao Kun, "But my uncle also said that the patriarch would not necessarily help me, so he told me that if I can't find you, find a place to hide and find a way to live." ”
Lu Li heard the child's milky words, and his heart became even more sour, "What's your name?"
"My name is summer, my mother said that she didn't come to the secret realm when she was pregnant with me, at that time it was winter in the human world, my mother was pregnant and followed my father into the secret realm, and suddenly entered the summer, and within a few days, I was born, so I was called summer. ”
Lu Li nodded and said, "Summer, don't be afraid, you have found me now, safe." ”
Summer nodded, but tears couldn't help but welling up in her eyes.
Lu Li touched Summer's head, "You just said that your uncle wanted to take you to me, do you know why?
The child shook his head, and Lu Xun was puzzled and looked at Lao Kun.
Lao Kun sighed and turned the child's time.
After reading it, Lu Li sat down on the ground.
When the time was over, the child woke up from a completely sluggish state, he saw that Lu Li's face was full of tears, and reached out to help Lu Li wipe his tears. "Sister, my mother and uncle have said that it is useless to cry. ”
Lu Li felt distressed, such a young child had to endure so much parting, she hugged the child in her arms, and the tears on her face
There is more water.
"In the summer, you will follow me in the future, and Sister Lu Li will definitely not let you suffer again. ”
Lu Li pulled the child and walked to Lao Kun, "Senior, I don't have a place to live now, can you please give this child a place to live?"
Lu Li saw that Lao Kun didn't speak, so he said: "I will be responsible for this child's food and clothing, and besides, if this child can be sheltered by the North Underworld, I will tell her not to go out of the North Underworld, and she will definitely not cause criticism to the Northern Underworld." ”
Lu Li saw that Lao Kun still didn't speak, so he pulled Summer's little hand, and Summer sensibly stepped forward and pulled Lao Kun's sleeve.
Lao Kun pursed his mouth vigorously when he saw Summer, and on his round face, under a pair of watery little eyes, was a cute garlic nose, and his head was covered with sparse yellow hair.
Lao Kun said in disgust: "Obviously a chow chow, why is his hair so scarce? ”
Lu Li knew that Lao Kun was soft-hearted, and hurriedly said: "Senior, when this child was in her mother's womb, she caught up with her father and mother to go to the secret realm, and it must have been raised in the womb. In addition, I have suffered so much over the years, so naturally I have not grown well. Lu Li touched Summer's head and pretended to be sad, "Why is the life of our demon clan so bitter." ”
"It's done, don't be pretentious. Lao Kun frowned and looked at the summer, although at least this child was dozens of years old, much older than Lu Li's age, but in the demon world, such an age can indeed only be regarded as a cub. "The breath of the demon clan is very similar to the breath of the demon race, and it is not impossible to arrange her to live in the North Underworld. ”
"You agreed? Thank you, senior, come to summer, thank you, senior. ”
Summer waved his hands respectfully, and Lao Kun grimaced, "I will take care of myself, I won't take care of others." ”
Lu Li pursed his lips again when he saw Xia, and hurriedly said for Xia: "No problem, no problem, no problem, she will take care of herself, right, Xia." ”
Lao Kun didn't wait for Summer to answer, and with a wave of his hand, he sent Summer to the North Underwater Mansion.
"It's so easy to agree?" Lu Li felt incredulous, "I thought you would let me take Summer to Uncle Shi." ”
"So this child, you have already made up your mind to take it, and I don't know where to find Qi Pingliu with her, so I might as well help you solve it directly. ”
Lu Xuan's head warmed, and tears couldn't help falling again.
Lao Kun disgusted Lu Li, "It's okay to cry all the time, it scared my guests away." ”
Lu Li burst into tears and smiled, "Senior, you are like this, which reminds me of my mother-in-law." In the past, she was always like this, while disliking me, she cared about me, and she helped me think about many things, but at that time I didn't understand and didn't cherish it at all. Now that my predecessors are like this, I am somewhat moved. ”
Lao Kun said even more disgustedly: "I can tell you, you have to pay for that little girl's food and drink, and I don't have the money to support her." ”
Lu Li shook the jingling money bag, "No problem." ”
"Don't expect me to teach her anything in the future, one Beijiuliang is enough to add to the chaos, and my old Kun's spells are not so much
Eager to learn.
Also, she's a chow chow, she must not be used to living under our water, and if she makes a fool of herself, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
Lu Li nodded and agreed, but Lao Kun was a little worried about Lu Li, "Little Lu Li, after watching the long river of summer, I thought you would rush to the demon clan station and find that Huang Ning to compete with him." Why, you are so calm, could it be that you decided last night that you would never care about the demon clan again?"
Lu Li shook his head, "Senior, I really wanted to let go of my obsession with the demon clan last night, and I wanted to take it easy and stop being harsh on myself.
But just now, when I saw the summer experience, I had a different thought.
In the summer, she also grew up in the favor of her parents since she was a child, but because of the attack of the two worlds of immortals, the secret realm was destroyed, her father died in battle, she was taken by her mother to flee for her life, and her mother voted for me in the vote because of disagreement with the great elder, and she was killed indiscriminately in Huang Ning's centralized power. Later, she could only be raised by her uncle, who just wanted to live in peace, but because of my sudden appearance yesterday, Huang Ning and his men went even more frantically to purge those goblins who might be connected to me. I don't think they support me, but they are too scared, too afraid of being treated as a dissident by Huang Ning, I think in their hearts, I am their last straw.
Senior, I saw that the child lost relatives one after another, my heart was sad and angry, and even began to blame myself again, I thought that if I hadn't shown up yesterday, her uncle might not have died.
But I also thought that if the two realms of immortals hadn't attacked the secret realm back then, everyone wouldn't have died. Then should I kill the Nine Heavens and avenge Master and everyone?
Senior, there is one thing I haven't told you, back then, it was I who accidentally opened the seal, and the fire unicorn rushed out and killed my mother-in-law. If I did, I should have committed suicide a long time ago to apologize.
But my mother-in-law just wanted to find me and protect me, so she started a long-unused spell and confronted the fire unicorn, if I committed suicide, mother-in-law, wouldn't I die in vain?
If I don't care about rushing to the Nine Heavens, don't say if I can rush to the Nine Heavens, even if I have the ability to kill Yun Peng and even the God Emperor, what will happen next?
If I rush to the demon clan's garrison today and confront Huang Ning head-on, not to mention whether I am his opponent or not, even if I can win, avenge Xia's mother and uncle, and avenge the goblins who were killed just because they supported me, then what?
Senior, to this day, I finally understand the way everyone looked at me yesterday. Now in the demon clan station, Huang Ning is in control of the situation, and the purge is almost in the final stage, so a goblin who did not support me will escape with the child overnight.
If I go back now, it won't help at all, on the contrary, those goblins who are extremely nervous under Huang Ning's high-pressure control are very likely to resist again. The demon clan kills each other internally, is that what I want to see?
I once stepped on the river of time to watch the change of dynasties for 5,000 years, and such bloody purges were almost inevitable when the dynasty changed. The longer the time drags on, the more innocent people will be killed, I think, Huang Ning wants to control the demon clan instead of destroying the demon clan entirely. Yesterday, he took me to visit the station, those water conservancy equipment, roads, houses, and even the children's cultivation classes, it was not fake, I knew that he was worried that the internal division of the demon clan would become a resistance for him to lead everyone forward, so I controlled my emotions.
By the way, senior, that summer, she experienced so much, but she was able to escape from the demon clan station under the supervision of the North Hells and the North Lonely City, and under the guard of the demon clan, which shows her intelligence. Thinking about it this way, there may be a lot of goblins, seeing that the wind is not in the right direction, and they fled early, hiding in a corner, and living their little life.
Thinking about it this way, our demon clan still has a lot to do in the future, even if it is where the demon clan is stationed, as long as they can concentrate on development in the future, they will become stronger and stronger. In the future, it may not be impossible to give other goblins a place to settle down. What does it matter if I don't go back to be an elder, or even never go back for the rest of my life. ”
Lao Kun nodded, "You can think like this, which shows that you have not traveled in vain in the picture of the human world." Sometimes hard-heartedness is helpless. ”
