Volume 1 Jianghu Spring and Autumn Chapter 34 In these years, it is difficult for good people to live
The old man didn't ask much about the reason, but Di Yunfeng inquired about the news here, the old man was a drunken person, half a bag of wine went down, drunkenness climbed up his cheeks, and he spoke quickly after drinking, and he also had questions and answers to Di Yunfeng.
It is understood that this sea area is called "Ci Hai", which is a sea area controllable by Zhenwu Kingdom, and is docked with the Xuanhai Sea at the end, so the boundary of this sea area is often accompanied by sea beasts.
The sea beast is a demon, but it can't turn into a human form, increase its body, the beast nature does not change, but the intelligence is online. Just like the four-legged snake that Di Yunfeng saw before, if a worm is born with four legs, it can evolve to a higher level, as the name suggests, the sea beasts in the sea are the same.
However, the sea beasts that can give birth to Neidan in the body are at least from the low-level rank, and the low-level sea beasts are often born on the bottom of the sea, rarely go out to the sea to walk, and the low-level sea beasts are already psychic, if the hunter does not reach out enough, it is very easy to be eaten by it.
High risk equals high reward, and this is the way outlaws value life.
Jianghu killers are also outlaws, bold, careful, and accustomed to killing.
In fact, the little girl was not wrong at all, Di Yunfeng had been regarded as an outlaw since he was thirteen years old.
The old man's name is Li Zhong, and he was also a good runner when he was young, and he only felt sorry when he talked about the past, saying that he killed too many people when he was young, so he was punished by God. Three marriages and three funerals, so far there are no children and no daughters under his knees. The girl named Sissi was picked up by him from the seaside.
Nine times out of ten, they will be outlaws in the open sea, and Li Zhong is over sixty years old, so it stands to reason that he should not come to get involved in the things that these young people do.
People are desperate to survive in troubled times, and people are still desperate when they are old, and they have no way to live, so they have to do this - in the past few years, the fish in the sea seem to be extinct, and there are either a few small fish or some bone slag in a net. For those of them who make a living from fishing, it is simply a natural disaster.
God refused to reward food, and people still came to make things difficult, and the fishing boats under Li Zhong's feet were all rented by the "boat boss" at the head of the village. If you can't catch fish, you naturally don't have money to pay rent, and not only that, the "boat boss" also fell in love with Xixi, a young girl who had just grown up.
The "boat boss" bullied Li Zhong's powerlessness and provoked all kinds of things to make things difficult. Li Zhong herself is old and has no one to rely on, how can she be willing to let her marry into a wicked family now that she has picked up a good granddaughter? In desperation, she can only sail out to the open sea, first, to escape the difficulties of the "ship boss", and secondly, to try her luck in the open sea.
"Alas, it's been half a year since I went to sea, but I haven't seen a trace of a sea beast, it's difficult, ......it's difficult," Li Zhong sighed and fell silent holding the wine bag.
Di Yunfeng also felt helpless for the old man beside him, natural and man-made disasters descended together, how could a sixty-year-old man and a teenage girl withstand this kind of pressure? He sighed softly, and took out two black demon pills from the storage bag, which were obtained from the slaughter of wolf demons in the northern Xinjiang.
Di Yunfeng wanted to hand it over to Li Zhong in person, but the next moment he hesitated. I vaguely remember that on the night a few years ago, he gave the demon pill to Haisheng hand-in-hand, but later he caused Haisheng to cause death...... The lesson of blood made him have to put the demon pill he took out back into the storage bag.
The higher the value of the things, the more people will snoop, and there are several such demon pills in his pocket, and he thinks that when he arrives in the True Martial Kingdom, he will exchange all of them for currency, keep some for his own use, and give some to Li Zhong.
Di Yunfeng said: "Uncle Li, I think let's go back here, I was repatriated with a large amount of military salary, and I have saved some savings from running rivers and lakes to do business over the years, and I will give you the first time to save the emergency." ”
Li Zhong hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Di Shaoxia, what are you talking about, how can I ask for money for your life?"
Di Yunfeng patted Li Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Li, what are you polite to me? If you don't save my life today, where will I have my life to sell my life?" He was afraid that Li Zhong would refuse, so he hurriedly said: "I have killed a lot of people, and I am doing good deeds to offset some evil retribution, I don't want to be a single man for the rest of my life like your old man......"
Li Zhong burst into laughter, took Di Yunfeng and walked towards the houseboat: "Only those who know how to repay their kindness can be called the real 'chivalrous', Di Shaoxia's young and promising people are really admired by the old man, tonight I will ask Xixi to cook a few more dishes, let's drink a few more pots!"
......
The so-called "boiled dishes" are steamed fish, braised fish, boiled fish...... This couldn't help but remind Di Yunfeng of the "whole chicken feast" in Jinji Town.
Xixi's craftsmanship is really good, and it is the first time he has eaten the sea fish of this Zhenwu country, in short, he is so happy to eat and drink tonight!
Li Zhong is very happy today, as soon as this person is happy, he is more likely to get drunk, and Di Yunfeng has fallen asleep on the table before he has drunk it. Xixi muttered quietly on the side, and glanced at Di Yunfeng resentfully from time to time, blaming Di Yunfeng for getting drunk with her grandfather, and when Di Yunfeng looked at her, she hurriedly lowered her head, looking like she wanted to see but didn't dare to see it.
Di Yunfeng walked out of the cabin with a smile, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is the age of longing for love, fantasy and ignorance, arrogance and prejudice.
He came to the bow of the boat, invited the wine to the wind, and paid tribute to himself after several years of trials and tribulations. How many difficulties and obstacles will there be in the journey ahead? How many singing and crying stories will happen in the real martial arts world?
......
After March, it was August, the bright moon was getting rounder and brighter in the sky, Di Yunfeng asked Li Zhong, it turned out that Zhenwu Country also had the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.
On the night of August 14, when the moon was as full as a silver platter, Li Zhong deliberately waited until late at night to sail the boat into the dock, and carefully called Di Yunfeng and Xixi, and specially instructed the three of them to slow down, because the "boat boss" lived on the dock for fear of alarming him.
The wharf is very small, only a few wooden stakes to build a board, no more than ten zhang long, no more than two zhang wide, and the height is just enough to draft. Such a pier would be torn apart if the sea breeze was stronger.
There are still two or three fishing boats on the wharf, and Li Zhong said that these fishing boats are all "boat bosses", and even if they have money, they do not sell them, but only rent them.
"What if you bought the boat yourself?" Di Yunfeng asked.
Li Zhong said: "In these years, the fishing business is sluggish, and buying a boat will be a loss, and even if you buy a boat, you have to pay rent before you can use it." ”
It turned out that the "boat boss" used this method to monopolize the fishing business in the nearby villages.
The village where Li Zhong lives is not far from the wharf, and more than a dozen families are located in a small harbor, and it is late at night, and the neighbors have gone to bed early because of the fuel economy.
Sissy couldn't wait to walk ahead, and after being adrift at sea for more than half a year, she was already homesick. But when she stepped into the entrance of the village, she paused in shock, she looked back, and said to Li Zhong with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, where is our home?"
The house was gone, and even the tiles and beams were removed, leaving only a dilapidated fence.
"Woe to the family! Wang Yuancheng is a bastard!" Li Zhong was so angry that he picked up a wooden stick and was about to run to the dock: "I'll go find him to settle accounts!"
"Grandpa, you can't go!" Xixi hurriedly stepped forward to drag Li Zhong and cried: "Wang Yuan has received it, grandpa, you can't beat it!"
Di Yunfeng frowned and stopped Li Zhong, and persuaded first: "Uncle Li, don't be impulsive, people are good and are bullied, even if your home is not demolished, even if you pay the rent, the bully will still try to make things difficult." ”
Li Zhong suddenly felt powerless, and the spirit on his face disappeared without a trace, showing a state of depression and twilight. If the bully could really subdue him by force, why did he flee to the open sea with Sissy?
In these days, it is difficult for good people to live.
