Chapter 24: Bronze Oil Lamp
"Tell me what's going on. ”
Looking at the middle-aged man, Liu Chen asked.
When the middle-aged man heard Liu Chen's inquiry, he looked at the dog, sighed and said to Liu Chen:
I don't know what to say, it's just that a group of escapees from the mountains ran to the village to steal grain when they saw that the people in the village were taken away by the He family. But I didn't expect our village to escape back because of you, and just happened to bump into it. At that time, a few men and I saw you taking this Taoist priest to Hejiabao halfway through, so we followed to have a look.
As a result, when those who fled saw that there was no man, they became courageous, not only did not flee but also became strong, and finally they fought. Some people died, including the little one's parents. But those who escaped are also dead, and revenge is just a child's words, don't care!"
Listening to the words of the middle-aged man surnamed Luo, Liu Chen understood the whole story, and also understood what the cry he heard was for.
But after listening to it, after thinking about it, Liu Chen suddenly found that it had something to do with himself. If it weren't for their own efforts, these people would have entered Hejiabao alive, and there would probably be no such thing as a dead person.
Of course, Liu Chen didn't blame himself for this, but sighed in his heart that the chaos in this world had seen so many deaths in just a few days. If you do the math, you're almost more dead than you've ever seen on Earth in your lifetime.
"If it weren't for that Taoist priest coming, those people wouldn't have come out, and my father and mother wouldn't have died! I'm going to practice martial arts, and then kill those Taoist priests like adults!"
However, the dog was obviously dissatisfied with the middle-aged man's statement, and half-bowed his body and roared out the words with almost all his strength.
Hearing the dog's words, a trace of anger flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and he was obviously very angry at the dog's unforgiving. But after a while, the anger dissipated, and only a feeling of weakness and tiredness remained.
"Don't talk nonsense, those Taoist priests have supernatural powers. With your body, even if you practice martial arts for a lifetime, you can't take revenge. Live well in the future, so that you can still give your father and mother incense at the end of the year. ”
He sighed again as he spoke, and then the middle-aged man waved to the people around him, and one of them left with the dog.
The dog didn't resist, and followed very obediently, but when he left, his eyes widened and he looked at Liu Chen, with some expectation.
For such an expectation, Liu Chen's heart moved, because he really couldn't bear what happened to the dog. However, he thought about his strength, most of which came from zombie bodies and ghost flames, and he couldn't teach people at all. The remaining point is the eighteen styles of breaking the enemy, which is the most domineering battlefield martial arts, which is not at all something that such a thin child can bear. So in the end, I can only hold my mind and ignore him.
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
After seeing the dog walk away, Liu Chen felt a little depressed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he asked the middle-aged man casually.
"I can't talk about the plan, the He family said that they were going to prepare for war, so they were going to take food to the mountains to take shelter for a while to see if they could escape this catastrophe. ”
After listening to Liu Chen's question, the middle-aged man did not hide it, and said his plans for the others.
"It's about to be winter, aren't you afraid of freezing and hurting in the mountains?"
Hearing such an almost hasty answer, Liu Chen couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man. In his opinion, this middle-aged man has a square face, although his eyes are tired, he can be regarded as a god, and he seems to be a capable person. How could such a person do such a headless thing?
"Haha, you're laughing, how can there be a winter without freezing and hurting, and the boil will be over. ”
Listening to Liu Chen's question, the man also looked at Liu Chen repeatedly with the same eyes. It can be seen that although Liu Chen is dressed in ordinary clothes, his tall figure is not like a poor family. Coupled with the martial arts displayed during the day, he could understand Liu Chen's problem, so he replied with a smile.
"If you can't get through it, you'll die!"
For such a relaxed answer, Liu Chen still felt incredible, and couldn't help but say in an accentuated tone.
"People always have to die, and this is something that can't be helped. Anyway, there is still food in this year, which is much better than twelve years ago, and most people can still survive it. ”
Regarding Liu Chen's aggravated tone, the middle-aged man obviously didn't care too much, and even had a calm posture. However, he now understood what kind of person Liu Chen was, and after thinking for a while, he added again:
"And this year, thanks to you, I also caught a Taoist priest, even if he is dead, there is no need to be a ghost of unjust death if there is a Taoist priest, maybe there are a few people who are lucky enough to go to that pure land to enjoy happiness!"
Hearing the middle-aged man say these two paragraphs, Liu Chen didn't know what kind of mood he should be, so he could only shake his head and not speak.
However, he thought a little about the Taoist priest in the middle-aged man's mouth, and listening to the middle-aged man's words, the Taoist priest should be Lu Qingzong. However, according to what he said, it seems that Lu Qingzong did not suffer any revenge or anything like that, after all, he pinned his posthumous treatment on Lu Qingzong's excess, and naturally he would not do anything to make him uncomfortable.
Liu Chen felt that he couldn't ignore this, after all, the guy who deceived himself was still here alive, and he was not happy.
It just so happened that Liu Chen was aggrieved by the dog's encounter and the stupidity of the middle-aged man. You have to do something to vent, otherwise it's really uncomfortable to hold it in your heart.
"Take me there!"
In the direction where the cry came from, Liu Chen said to the middle-aged man.
"Ah, yes, sir!"
Hearing Liu Chen's sudden words, the middle-aged man didn't react for a while, obviously he didn't expect Liu Chen to make such a request. However, after hearing it clearly, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask directly, but led the way for Liu Chen in front.
The middle-aged man led him through a few steps, and then turned left to see a flat ground dyed with several bonfires. And some of the villagers who saw it during the day scattered into several piles around the campfire.
In the middle of the bonfires, on a loose earthen platform sat an oil lamp, which looked faint and faint, and seemed to be made of bronze. And in front of the lamp, it was the Taoist priest Lu Qingzong who was supposed to be knocked out by Liu Chen.
However, at this time, Liu Chen didn't care about Lu Qingzong, because he felt that there was an aura on the bronze oil lamp that made him feel very comfortable.
