I rolled my eyes and sneered at them with sarcasm. The two of them turned pale, then turned flushed and ignored me.
It's so easy to beat them, and let the two guys who don't know the heights of the earth have a suffocation, don't mention how refreshing in my heart. At this time, Lien Daozhen asked me in a low voice: "When did you lie like this?"
I looked at him in amazement and said, "I didn't lie, what I said is true."
Lian Dao was a little surprised, but he did not continue to ask. I watched Tian Song and Zhou Guangzhi, who were walking a few steps faster, seeming to want to stay away from us, and asked in a low voice: "They seem to hate you? And, it doesn't just seem to be because of Zheng Qiuyuan. Have you offended them both?"
"No." Lian Daozhen shook his head. He sighed heavily and said: "I am not a real mountain man after all. Although I have done a lot for Taohuayuan over the years, I have always been rejected. They are very stubborn and just want to believe. My own person. Why do you think I can be a foreigner? In addition to needing me to deal with outsiders for them, but also because they don't want me to stay here for too long. Sometimes, I even feel that they want me not to return to the mountain for the rest of my life. "
"No." I didn't believe it, and said: "Even in a closed place, it's not so hard-hearted, right? You've been here for forty years..."
"Because in the past two thousand years, Taohuayuan has suffered several disasters because of outsiders. In their hearts, outsiders are the source of disasters. Everyone has a plan for Taohuayuan, so they don't want to believe outsiders. I was able to mix in the mountains back then, thanks to Mr. Zheng, he is a discerning person, otherwise these years..."
Lian Daozhen suddenly changed his face and murmured: "Old Zheng... Could it be that Mr. Zheng... Otherwise, how could they..."
His words were unclear, and I was anxious to hear, but it was not easy to follow up. At this time, Lian Daozhen looked at the two people in front, he hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked loudly, "Tian Song, Zheng Lao... Zheng Lao, is something wrong?"
Tian Song turned his head, first gave me an inexplicable look, then snorted, and said, "Old Zheng passed away a few days ago. From now on, no one can protect you. Look at you..."
Even Daozhen and I couldn't listen to the cruel words Tian Song said next. In my ears, there is only the expression of confusion and grief in Lian Dao, as well as the inquiries that continue to penetrate into my ears: "Old Zheng, how could... The body of Old Zheng is obviously... impossible... It is absolutely impossible! Zheng Qiuyuan! It must be Zheng Qiuyuan! He damn it!"
Lian Daozhen suddenly became irritable, his arms stretched out, and he seemed to use only a little force, and the hemp rope on his body snapped and broke. The rope fell on the ground, shaking like a snake, looking very scary.
Tian Song heard the voice, looked back, his complexion changed, and shouted: "Lian Daozhen, what are you going to do!"
Lian Daozhen grabbed the hemp rope that tied me with both hands and broke it easily. Then he looked at Tian Song and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Zheng Qiuyuan!"
"Asshole! Master Zheng and several Zong elders had expected you to be like this for a long time, and they are waiting for you to confess your guilt. If you dare to resist, you will add to the crime!" Zhou Guangzhi shouted.
Lian Dao really didn't care about these things. He grabbed my arm and ran quickly. Tian Song and Zhou Guangzhi rushed over to stop them, but they were directly knocked away and flew away. Seeing the two falling on the wheat ear field, there was a ripple, disturbing many birds, I couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, Lian Daozhen seems to be very emotional. It seems that the old Zheng should have taken care of Lian Daozhen before. Zheng Qiuyuan is the one who can make Lien Dao really out of control, and Zheng Lao is one. However, the former is an enemy, and the latter is a benefactor.
Wait, they are both surnamed Zheng
I just reacted and asked in shock, "Who is Zheng Qiuyuan?"
"It's his grandpa." Lian Dao's face was almost dripping.
I didn't say a word for a while. If things were as Lien Dao really thought, I could almost imagine what would happen afterwards.
Lian Dao really ran very fast, Tian Song and Zhou Guangzhi just turned up from the pile of wheat ears, and before they were dizzy and stood still, we were gone.
The Peach Blossom Spring is huge, almost endless. This is indeed like another world, but the sky is still blue, the air is still fresh, but there is no sun. I don't know where this light comes from.
We ran out along the wheat field and passed by a house. The residents here are mostly wooden houses, with high firewood piles at the door, and stone millstones that are rarely seen nowadays. Among the many wooden houses, there are only a few concrete houses mixed in, and it looks very lonely. There was no one in the house, and all the houses were empty. The more Lien Dao Zhen ran away, his face became darker. Because he saw that there was a piece of white cloth hanging at the door of every house. The cloth was like snow, slumped lonely at the door, just like old age.
Lien Dao really ran faster and faster, and I could feel that he was very nervous and angry because he was holding my arm's hand harder and harder. I am not an iron man, so I can naturally feel the pain like breaking a bone, but I didn't say anything, because the physical pain is temporary after all, while the mental pain is eternal.
Not long after we ran, we saw a towering tree.
The tree is so big that you can see the canopy unfolding from a long distance to cover the sky and the sun. When you are close to it, you find that there are thick roots everywhere, like angry dragons digging out from the ground. Many people are standing or sitting on the roots of the trees exposed to the ground. They seem to have anticipated the arrival of Lien Dao, and they look at us one by one.
The huge old tree can shelter others from the wind and rain, but to Ren Daojin, this place is like hell.
His face turned white when he saw so many people. Not because of fright, but a kind of panic. There are very few things that can make Ren Dao really flustered, there is one in front of him.
Before the old tree, there was a thick root**, which looked very strange, with a groove in the middle, and extremely flat edges and corners, which looked like a coffin without a cover. When Lien Daozhen and I got there, we saw a light extinguishing in the groove. It was this ignition that made Lian Daozhen's face pale.
There are hundreds of people in front of the towering ancient trees, and they seem to be densely packed. Their bodies are naturally not worth mentioning compared to the incomparably huge ancient tree with a diameter of at least tens of meters, but their eyes and expressions are as sharp as knives.
Lian Daozhen did not continue to step forward. He just stared at the groove in a daze, then watched a man climb up with a wooden sign, walk along the root of the tree, and jumped up as he approached the trunk and lifted the wooden sign. Lightly printed in the trunk. I just noticed that there were thousands of wooden signs on the extremely sturdy trunk. Most of them are almost completely covered by bark, and only a few are clearly visible. Looking at this huge tree, I can't help but guess how many wooden signs are hidden under the bark of that ancient vicissitudes of life
For some reason, thinking about this, I suddenly got goose bumps all over my body.
The man who printed the wooden sign in the ancient tree fell on the ground. He walked in front of the crowd, looked at Lian Daozhen, and fell into a brief silence. Afterwards, an old man with gray hair, supported by several young people, walked out on crutches, pointed at Lian Dao and cursed: "You are a careless dog. You are not as good as a dog. How much is it? I’ve been unfamiliar for ten years! Do you dare to come back? Where’s Tian Song? Where’s Zhou Guangzhi? Have you already been killed by you? You are simply...
The old man scolded so happily, but Lian Daozhen turned a deaf ear. He looked at the wooden sign printed on the tree trunk, his eyes twitched. I looked up, but was surprised to find that the corners of his eyes were already wet.
The old man scolded for a long time, and finally he was about to catch his breath. Then the man who put the wooden sign said, "Lian Daozhen, we are waiting for you."
I see him a bit familiar, with a hooked nose and triangular eyes. He looks very sinister. Where have you seen it
His voice made Ren Daozhen shake his body, raised his head, and sullenly raised his fists as if he was crazy: "Zheng Qiuyuan! You damn it!"
"Presumptuous!" The white-haired old man yelled, and he raised his crutches and swept it. That thin wooden staff suddenly became extremely thick and smashed on Lian Daozhen like a huge wood. Layers of earth-yellow light emerged from Lian Daozhen's body, and his entire body was swept away tens of meters away.
The old man snorted coldly, retracted the stick, and cursed again: "A dog in the mountains is more precious than your life. I really think I am a human being. I dare to do it in front of me!" (End of this chapter)
