Chapter 34 A Different Way of Living
Six-year-old Li Qingchen swallowed softly, temporarily relying on his willpower to stop the desire to eat in his stomach.
He knew that it was useless to play tricks here, and he had never liked to cheat on people, and he knew since he was a child that he had picked up from outside, so he had to be more sensible than the others.
The old man who named him said, in this world, no one should do anything for you Li Qingchen, other people's good, you must cherish it, you must repay it afterwards, and there are many good, even if you don't understand it at the time, you have to remember, otherwise, in this Youzhou Division, there will be no place for you.
After being scolded by Mr. Cui, he could only obediently get up and go to the shelf with a basin next to him to prepare to wash his hands. β
Li Qingchen sat upright on the stool, clenched his fists like a martial artist, and shouted in a milky childish voice: "Thank you, Daddy Rabbit." β
After hearing this title, the corners of the latter's mouth hooked slightly, but he didn't say anything.
After wiping his hands with a towel soaked in hot water, Li Qingchen began to break the white bun in his hand, and it fell into the empty bowl little by little, this kind of thing, no one will come to help him, but just now he broke half of it, and suddenly there was an extremely painful and sad voice outside.
"Help, help!"
The people who were eating silently in the house almost didn't need to react, so they immediately put down what they were doing, turned around and rushed out quickly, these people were so fast that Li Qingchen could only see afterimages.
Li Qingchen, who was sitting at the end, shook his hand and almost dropped the remaining half of the white bun in his hand to the ground.
His heart couldn't help but flutter.
panicked, because he had already heard who the owner of that voice was, it was a few days ago, he was sent out to suppress a martial artist slaughtering village, because the situation was very serious, so a total of three people went, and these three people basically spent four or five years with him, and they had taught him all his experience in the rivers and lakes without concealment, and his own martial arts.
He propped his hands and jumped forward, only then did he step on the ground from the high bench, and then he followed out in a daze, although his speed was certainly not comparable to that of these middle and third rank warriors, but just a few steps away, he had soon reached his destination.
At the gate of the Youzhou Division, a tough guy covered in blood, missing half a hand, and simply wrapped his bloody wound with his clothes, was rushing in with a person who seemed to have just been fished out of the blood plasma.
After the crowd that ran out saw this scene, there was no trace of commotion, no one asked anything more, and those who were good at healing walked up directly and began to check the injuries, while the other people quickly rushed out, stood on a high place, and began to look for possible enemies.
Li Qingchen looked at the man with his severed hand who was crying bitterly from afar, completely losing his previous momentum, and looked at him kneeling on the ground, looking up to the sky and roaring, as if venting his resentment and anger towards the world.
That person, his hands are very skillful, he once made a kite for Li Qingchen, and he flew high, and he once quarreled with Lao Xin because of Li Qingchen's martial arts practice, as for the person he carried back, it was worse, when Li Qingchen was a little younger, he would be with the monkey, secretly dip the chopsticks in wine for Li Qingchen to drink, and then Lao Xin found that his face was red, and after Li Qingchen, who was walking and was swaying, they would be beaten.
He used to be so vigorous, just lying quietly on the ground, not moving, looking at it from a distance, as if he was asleep.
Li Qingchen watched the sixth man walk over, first probed his finger slightly on his neck, and then gently pressed his chest, Li Qingchen could see the frightening depression, and finally the sixth shook his head helplessly at the people around him.
In the low sighs of the people around him, the man with the severed hand kneeling on the ground cried even louder, Li Qingchen had never seen him cry like this, because he once told himself, men don't flick when they have tears, no matter what happens in the future, don't cry, shame.
But now, everyone didn't cry, but he was crying so sadly there alone, as if it wasn't him who said that before.
It suddenly went dark in front of him, Li Qingchen subconsciously turned his head and found that it was Lao Xin who stretched out his hand from behind and blindfolded his eyes.
His voice was as calm as ever, but with a hint of sadness and vicissitudes that ordinary people could not detect.
He has seen a lot of things, but in fact, it is not that he is numb, but when he knows that the world is like this, he can not become indifferent, but he is sad and self-reproachful for being powerless about everything.
He was actually tired for a long time.
"Let's go, go back to dinner. β
Li Qingchen's two little hands took Lao Xin, raised his head, and asked the most difficult question in the world with his immature childish voice.
"Lao Xin, is he dead?"
Lao Xin's face became a little sad, but he didn't choose to make up any nice stories to deceive the child in front of him, because he clearly knew that this was the most real world, and this world would never change because of a beautiful story, and the only person who could really change it was the people who knew its cruelty, so he nodded slowly.
Li Qingchen turned his head and didn't ask any more, because he was only six years old, and he actually knew the meaning of death.
For the deceased, it is eternal loneliness and emptiness, and for the living, it is eternal regret and pain.
He lowered his head, turned around and walked back with Lao Xin.
Suddenly, he stopped on the road again, raised his head, and asked extremely seriously: "Lao Xin, one day, will you also die?"
Lao Xin stopped, was silent for a while, and then slowly squatted down, looked at Li Qingchen's eyes, and replied with the same serious attitude: "Yes, everyone will die, and Lao Xin is the same, but Lao Xin can guarantee that Lao Xin will only die after the dust boy no longer needs Lao Xin's protection." β
Li Qingchen lowered his head, grabbed the belt representing the identity of a martial artist around his waist with both hands, and muttered: "That dust boy, I hope there will never be this day." β
--------
It was already night, and Li Qingchen slept in a separate room, which was the consensus that everyone had reached since he was five years old.
In fact, there is no one in these big men in their Youzhou Division who doesn't like this child, most of them have lived in this life, let alone descendants, and they don't even know where their daughter-in-law is, so they treat this well-behaved and smart child as their own.
But after wandering the rivers and lakes for so long, they know better that their gang of people who lick blood from the knife edge may die at any time, in the world, there is no true invincibility, one day, they will meet the nemesis of their hit, so if the dust boy can become independent earlier, it will naturally be the best.
It should be said that these people, in fact, wish he had grown up overnight, it was best to become more slippery in the future, not to trust anyone easily, to be so smart that others would be afraid, and it was best to have no worries or worries in this life, so that there would be no weaknesses.
After seeing the darkness of the world, they don't want him to be a pure good person from the bottom of their hearts, and they don't want him to waste his life in this kind of place like themselves and others, which is really not interesting.
Li Qingchen was lying alone on the bed, which was a little too big for him, with his eyes open, looking at the dark roof in a daze, Wei Tuo had just used the method of Buddhism Tantra to help him wash the marrow of the I Ching and open up the meridians, and the pain was unbearable even for ordinary adults, and it was also thanks to Li Qingchen's patience, plus Lao Xin told him that it was of great benefit to him, so he could persevere.
Although his body was numb to pain, his mind was very clear, because he had started practicing martial arts early, his five senses were keen, and he had been silently counting the gongs coming from outside the house just now.
One, two, threeγγγγγγ
That's to see off the dead, once they, the martial artists who have long looked down on their life and death, are gone, in fact, there are not so many cumbersome etiquette, dust to dust, dust to dust, dust to earth, at least they Youzhou Division, all have this awareness.
Three people went out, one died directly outside, the corpse capital could not be brought back, one died in Youzhou Division, which is actually a good thing, and the other was seriously injured, and when he came back, he was also dying, and now he is still lying in the pharmacy, the sixth child is dressing him, can he wake up, two said.
Fighting, killing, and killing, is this the life that a martial artist should live?
He was afraid of such a world, the young Li Qingchen, thinking of this, tried his best to shrink into the quilt, avoiding the invisible darkness around him, but as soon as he moved, his whole body hurt.
He had to rest.
fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up again, it was Li Qingchen who found that his quilt was all wet.
He fumbled to get up, but his hand was full of extremely viscous liquid, and he was a little scared, and struggled to get up and go to light the lamp.
But as soon as he turned over, he knocked over something, and Li Qingchen screamed in fright, because he was sure that he definitely didn't put anything next to him before he went to sleep.
He hurriedly fumbled with a fire fold to light the lamp in the house, and as the light gradually turned on, Li Qingchen turned his head and saw the nightmare of his life.
Blood, heads!
"Ahh
He used his hands and feet at the same time, and at once he retreated to the head of the bed, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the full number of human heads at the end of the bed, most of whom were still open, as if they were not blind, and seemed to be staring at him.
They were all people he knew.
Lao Liu, Monkey, Rabbit, Mr. Cui, Ma Mian, Lao Xinγγγγγγ
These people, he had spoken to them not long ago, but now, their heads, just like this, in a whole row, seemed to be a terrible decoration.
Li Qingchen was so frightened that he couldn't scream, he couldn't even cry, because all this, for him who was still six years old, the shock was too great, and he had no ability to think at all.
But at this moment, he was suddenly alarmed by a small sound, he quickly turned his head to look around, only to see that above his head, as well as around the room, there was blood soaking, and then slowly flowing, the viscous, fishy dark red liquid, like a worm, crawled slowly, and then fell on Li Qingchen's head, face, body and feet.
In a moment, his whole body was covered with blood, just like the person he saw today.
Li Qingchen stood up in a hurry and wanted to flee quickly, but he was weak, and just ran to the gate when someone kicked it open from the outside, and he fell to the ground in fright.
Outside, the darkness rumbled, and only a terrifying black shadow as tall as an iron tower could be seen, standing at the door.
Li Qingchen stared blankly at the black shadow in front of him, feeling a little familiar.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck, and the moment the sky and earth brightened, Li Qingchen clearly saw his face.
It's Veda!
It's the Wei Tuo who works hard for himself every day, and then takes medicine for himself!
He stood at the door, covered in blood, not only that, he didn't even have his eyes, only two deep holes left, but Li Qingchen still felt that he was looking at himself, staring at himself, and from his mouth, there was a deafening sound.
"If you don't want to die, just change your life!"
"If you don't want to die, just change your life!"
"If you don't want to die, just change your life!"
"If you don't want to die, just change your life!"
The same voice began to sound all around the room, and the boundless darkness enveloped him tightly.
"If you don't want to die, just change your life!"
