November 12.
In a farmer's house, an old man with gray hair and wrinkles looked at the sky blankly, his expression a little sluggish and sad.
"Grandpa, grandpa, have you heard, there is a man with a red knife who repelled the intruders. A little boy of twelve or thirteen years old ran up excitedly and squatted down and grabbed the old man's hand.
The old man paused, the expression on his face became more complicated, and after a while, he asked, "Does he ...... How's it going?"
The little boy said: "I heard that after repelling the invaders, he is gone, he is really powerful, one person beats so many people." Then the little boy told the old man what he had heard.
The old man listened quietly, and after listening, he slowly stood up and walked out of the yard, his steps were a little staggering, his legs and feet were a little inflexible, the little boy ran over to support the old man very sensibly, and said proudly: "Grandpa, don't be afraid, if the enemy comes, I will use a slingshot to beat them away and not let them hurt grandpa."
The old man's figure was stunned for no reason, and at that moment, the old man's eyes were a little moist. He had nothing to do with this family, he was seriously injured a few years ago and was sent here, and he was sent to someone who was once inferior to him, who he looked down on all his life, who he was jealous of all his life, who was unattainable all his life, because he was once inferior to him, because he looked down on him, so he was jealous, because it was unattainable for him, so he hated by jealousy, but now that man is dead, he has lost the object of hatred, and he is still alive, although that person is dead, the silver two left by that person are still there, and helped him and the family survive the famine for several years。
This family is very good, although they are ignorant, ignorant, do not understand martial arts, do not have much knowledge, the land is average, and even a little incompetent, but their family is very down-to-earth, very duty, the money given by the man they did not take to squander, but saved little by little to help the family through the famine, he has a special status in this family, is an outsider, but this family fulfilled the original promise and really took care of him for several years, really treated him as a father, and this child also treated him as a grandfather. He had never enjoyed this kind of family happiness, not that he had no chance, but that he had never seen these in his eyes and taken them to heart before, but now, he was old, older, and his martial arts were worse, and he suddenly felt a trace of sadness and regret in his heart.
However, what can this be? Everything is late, the child does not understand, the ordinary people do not understand, but he can hear a hint from the legend, more than 10,000 'cavalry', even if it is more than 10,000 watermelons, it will take a long time to chop.
Is it really wrong in my life?
"Cough~~~Cough~~~~" The old man coughed twice, a few years ago he was seriously injured, leaving hidden dangers, in recent years he has been coughing more and more year by year, and his physical strength is not as good as a year.
"I don't know how many years I have to live?" he couldn't help but ask himself a question, and when this question came out, he suddenly felt that this was a meaningless question, meaningless, not only meaningless but also boring, not only boring but also boring, this was a boring question, he was a boring person.
November 16.
The city of the army of the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' was blocked, and after the battle of the 'Danhe Mansion' in Liangxie, there was almost no city that surrendered easily, and the bitter battles made the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' lose its troops.
November 20.
The full strength of the 'Divine Redemption Sect' was forced to surface, and the six great gods 'Immortal Evil Venerable', 'Yun Poison Medical God', 'Shocking Rainbow', and 'Golden Robe Guest' led the millions of sect members and disciples in the sect to openly help fight the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' on the one hand, and on the other hand, they preached everywhere that the rise of the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' was the will of the 'Emperor', and everyone in the world must obey it, the 'Emperor' was invincible, and the 'Son of God' was also invincible by the 'blessing of God', and whoever wanted to disobey the will of the 'Emperor' was the greatest sin, now. The suffering that you have suffered is only temporary, and it is all for your good, for the sake of the future, and for the sake of long-term benefits.
Translated to say, Lao Tzu wants to beat you, kill you, rob you, you have to welcome, otherwise you will be punished, this trick is extremely effective, many people immediately responded, fortunately, the 'immortal evil venerable' in the Central Plains when he was wearing iron armor, when the 'god son' is not wearing iron armor, otherwise he is very easy to be recognized by people for doing a lot of evil, but with the good words of these people, even if they are recognized, it doesn't matter, just find a lame reason that is a test of you can prevaricate. As we all know, the 'Divine Redemption Sect' has six 'Divine Sons', as for the whereabouts of the other two 'Divine Sons' who are invincible in the world, no one dares to ask, and no one knows, anyway, the 'Divine Son' only appears in public every time, and the ghost knows which six of the six people are, after all, the news is not equal and there is no way to know, but their appearance has made some forces on the rivers and lakes understand, and the identities of these four people have also guessed eight or nine.
November 25.
Lu Jue's son Lu Ting led the army to support the 'Great Dragon City' regardless of his father's orders, and the siege of the 'Great Dragon City' was lifted under the combination of the inside and the outside, both sides suffered losses, and the 'Golden Cavalry' withdrew Lu Ting died in ambush on the way back to the army, and the 8,000 cavalry led by him, 30,000 infantry Tai half died, and the others were scattered and fled without a trace.
November 28.
More than 3,000 of the 'Golden Horsemen' who fled back from the first battle of the 'Danhe Mansion' fled back to the capital and were executed, and the rest were afraid of punishment and went into exile.
The first day of the lunar month.
One by one, the battle was in full swing, and the losses of the 'Golden Cavalry' far exceeded estimates, and the losses made them angry, and each city looted more than before.
The fifth day of the lunar month.
'Danhe Mansion' was breached again, in order to vent their anger, the 'Golden Cavalry' slaughtered for several days, and tens of thousands of people in the city were killed and wounded, only the clever ones took the lead in bribing or sparing them.
The seventeenth day of the lunar month.
'Golden Cavalry' sneak attack 'Maze Crossing', 'Six Divine Dao Pivots', 'Eight Desolate Valleys', 'Sanguan Palace' all the people rushed to support overnight, halfway through, it seemed that there was a black thing flying in, biting on some disciples, at first everyone didn't care, after a short time the disciples were itchy and unstoppable rolling on the ground, when everyone noticed something different, suddenly the air 'buzzing' sound was loud, there were countless thin things like cicada wings flying, right Dao and ' Turbidity Dust Zhenren 'blocked the black thing in front of the disciples, the black thing was hanging high in the air and did not leave, and then the red tide suddenly came in the sky, it was an endless number of red insects, the black thing even cooperated with the insects, waiting for the opportunity to raid, the six major leaders of the 'Six Divine Dao Pivots' formed a circle to resist, and the disciples quickly formed a formation to prepare to resist the enemy, and the disciples who did not want to fall before had been eaten clean by the insects in an instant, and thousands of red flying insects flew up from among the disciples, and the formation was chaotic. The seven masters struggled, and the disciples worked hard, and more than 80 disciples were damaged, and one of the leaders was injured before the bloodworms were dispersed, just when everyone was exhausted, a person like an iron tower and a hunchbacked old man with a gourd on his back and a cane appeared in front of everyone, the old man beckoned, and the dispersed bloodworms immediately regrouped around him, and the black thin thing like cicada wings was also hanging around him, and he could attack the enemy from any angle at any time, and there was a woman in black standing next to the hunchbacked old man, who was the 'black ant'.
"'Immortal Evil Venerable'! Kan Zhenyun!" 'Turbidity Dust True Person's expression changed color suddenly.
"All the people of the 'Six Divine Daoshu' are here, which is good. The hunchbacked old man replied without answering, muttering to himself as if he had eaten everyone.
'Turbidity Zhenren' stopped talking, he took out two strings of copper coins from his baggage, slowly untied the rope, and with a flick of his hand, the two strings of copper coins immediately snapped together like scales, connecting into a money sword.
"What a good rope, it's a pity to throw it away. "A Taoist man wearing a black and white Taoist robe bent down to pick up the rope of copper coins thrown by the 'Turbidity Dust Real Man' on the ground and quickly pulled it up, and the other five people occupied their respective positions, assisting the two on the one hand, and preventing the bloodworms from attacking again, and the disciples regrouped to stop the bloodworms. The same 'Greedy Winged Black Punishment' and the same red bug are completely different powers in the hands of Kan Zhenyun and 'Black Ant', it is only the first round of fighting, 'Greedy Wing' has already injured one of his own first-level masters, and forty or fifty disciples have died on it, and the power of the bloodworm is terrifying.
The sky was surrounded by crimson, and the sound of shouting and killing was covered by the sound of buzzing, and when the copper coin sword of the 'Turbid Dust Real Man' shook off and wanted to make a move, he suddenly felt that the scenery in front of him was too different from the real and the fake, as if he had entered an illusion, and his cultivation was also affected, he glanced at the senior brothers around him, and saw that the 'Right Dao Man' and the others were all confused, and he was shocked, knowing that the person who had been planning everything behind the 'God Redemption Sect' had always been this hunchbacked old man, he was full of skill, and the golden light on the sword was prosperous, he' The Six Divine Dao Pivots want to fight this battle with all their might.
The night is always very long, and for sleepless people, the night is a little desolate, a little bleak, a little lonely, and a little confused and afraid.
The night always lingers, whether you like it or not.
Twentieth of the twentieth month of the lunar
The news spread that the three major forces of the 'Six Divine Dao Hub', the 'Eight Desolate Valleys', and the 'Sanguan Palace' were all wiped out.
The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the year of the year.
It was very cold, and the old man looked at the sky in a daze, as he has always been like this lately.
"Grandpa, it's time to eat, my mother said that today is Xiao Nian, she cooked noodles and fried a plate of peanuts. The little boy ran over and took the old man's hand.
The family eats silently, the child clips a few peanuts into the old man's bowl from time to time, there are very few peanuts, only a small plate, and it is a small plate that can be counted at a glance, and this is a very, very, very luxurious thing, this is the first time he eats this thing this year, in this year, he can afford to eat this is not rich or expensive. The old man loved to eat very much, but he smiled and said that he didn't like to eat it, and put the peanuts back into the child's bowl, and the child believed it and said with some disappointment: "Grandpa is so strange, fried peanuts don't like to eat." He muttered to himself, but his heart blossomed with joy.
"Godfather, you have spoiled the child...... the woman complained, although the words were full of joy and gratitude.
The old man smiled and asked the man, "Is there any news in the past two days, what's wrong?"
"Alas~~~~" The man let out a long sigh and put down the bowl.
"The noodles are almost lumped. The old man said, and then the man picked up the bowl and the whole family began to eat again, and during the New Year, the family boiled two eggs, the little boy ate one, the old man ate one, but the man and the woman did not, the old man was not willing to eat, and all of them were left to the little boy.
4332 years, Yihai year.
This year's wax moon is the big moon, and Chinese New Year's Eve is the thirtieth month of the wax month.
Early in the morning' Yang Daomeng's general rudder had a slender figure cleaning, posting the couplets she had written, and then left, she went to a place where there were only three rooms and three fish ponds, although there were no fish in the fish ponds here, although the water in the fish ponds here was pitiful, she still came, alone, she silently cleaned the three rooms, her stomach seemed to bulge slightly, after doing all this she was a little tired, she rested for a while and another person silently posted the couplet, silently made the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and then she called someone to eat, although no one answered her, she still called, and like someone eating, drinking, laughing, and keeping the year。
The mountain wind is blowing, the oil lamp in the house is like beans, not far away is a lonely grave, which is the grave of the owner of this place, she is not afraid, on the contrary, she is very quiet, very tranquil, she has already prepared, she has been prepared, she has been prepared, she looks weak, but her heart is stronger than men, now she has only one goal, only one purpose.
"Meow~~~~" A yellow cat seemed to see her thoughts, raised her head and barked at her, she reached out and touched the cat's head, the cat snored and rubbed its head back and forth on her hand.
The cat is also old, its eyes seem to have collapsed, and the hair on its body has lost its luster, just like the hair of a small milk cat, but it does not have the milky taste of a small milk cat.
4332 years, Yihai year.
This year's wax moon is the big moon, and Chinese New Year's Eve is the thirtieth month of the wax month.
The old man's home is also in the lantern for the New Year, although the color has been used up a few years ago, and the lamp has not been willing to light for several months, but today is the New Year, and it is still possible to simply tie a red paper lantern. The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is very rich, there are wontons, although there are only pickles and potatoes in it, there are dumplings, although there are only pickles and potatoes in it, there are noodles, although the soup marinade has no meat, there are fish, although it is a salted fish dried last year, there are eggs, four!
This is a big deal, the wonton symbolizes the full warehouse of grain, dumplings are indispensable, it is said that there is also a meaning, the fish is more than every year, the salted fish and the salted fish turn over, eggs, this statement is more, not to mention that there is such a luxurious food in front of what to say, just eat.
The family did not make up a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, the old man was happy, the man was happy, the woman was also happy, but only the children who are really happy, and only the children, and only the children, because only the children will believe that the world will always develop in a beautiful direction, because only the children are full of hope for the future, adults, the old people are full of wind and frost, smoothing the edges and corners, emptying the ambition, only children can bring vitality.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, the first day of the new year, the second and third days of the new year, the family did not go anywhere, and there was nowhere to go, and they did not dare to go out.
On the fourth day of the new year, the old man got up with his body bent, went out of courtesy, washed his face and washed himself, and then went out of the yard, took a sickle and slowly sharpened it, he sharpened it very slowly, very slowly, and grinded it for a full morning, and then he left, left the house, and before leaving, he left the silver tickets he had accumulated all his life at home, although these silver tickets are now no longer redeemable.
Same.
'Hidden State', a man escaped from forced labor, he heard the news that a man with whom he had a lifelong enmity had died, and the death was very tragic, very miserable, and very chic, and he heard that when that night, the insects gnawed at his body, he was still very calm.
He was very angry, and this time he actually let his opponent have the upper hand first, so he ran away, and he made a decision, so he went north, encountered the 'Golden Rider' and opened his mouth, and he opened his mouth and died.
