Accompanied by the flashlight, I carried Mr. Liu on my back, followed by a dozen elderly people, and walked towards the outside of the wood distribution office.
Thin clouds that came from nowhere covered the hazy moonlight, making the night darker and darker... I felt inexplicably sad in my heart. What could such a group of old people do? But do they still dare to fight when there are only a group of old people like this left in the town
In the wind, an old man walking in front of me was faltering. If his descendants were also one of the men in black robes, how would he feel
I feel like I am as sentimental as a woman... But this is what Chen Chengyi is. I dare not call myself compassionate, but I really dare not live in this world numbly. Instead of being a cold-blooded superior, I still I would rather be the one who often has tears in his eyes, fights until his life is in danger for some things that are inexplicable to outsiders, and is always embarrassed, making people unable to understand or even worry about him.
I even thought of Lao Hui. Once in front of his grave, Xiaobei talked about his past, and talked about this sloppy-looking child who was also a crybaby. Even an abandoned child could make him famous. His eyes were filled with tears, and he never concealed his emotions. Xiaobei said to me at the end: "If you don't cry, you may not be a true hero. On the contrary, I think a real hero is empathetic, right? If he doesn't have a sensitive and sincere heart, With such a heart, how could he feel the suffering in the world and die for it? Lao Hui must have felt it deeply."
"After the children got on the boat, there was no need to make any noise?" The past cannot be traced back. In such a cold night, I stopped my thoughts and began to search desperately for topics. I didn't want such a sad and silent atmosphere to surround this group of elderly people. , I don’t even need to guess, I know that they must have failed many times, and every failure may be a heavy blow. I am afraid that their hearts will become cold.
"After entering that cabin, I haven't seen the child coming out. I don't know why, but there must be something inside, right?" Mr. Liu answered me, his voice was still weak, but I still couldn't feel it. There is a sense of decadence and wanting to give up.
I hummed and continued walking in silence until I walked out of the lumber distribution office and walked to the streets of the town. Then I said: "I didn't come here to save people, let alone explore mysteries or solve riddles. Then Zhang Xian's reputation. I came here for some clues about my elders... However, after seeing everything tonight, I feel that saving people can be placed in a more important position in my heart. I mean, even if Even without my own purpose, I am willing to save people. I don’t know how powerful I am, but I am just willing. Mr. Liu, I am very touched that there are people like you in this town, but I did not expect that I just I hope... I hope you don't give up."
After hearing this, all the old people looked at me in surprise and moved, but no one spoke, even Mr. Liu on my back was silent.
After a long time, he said: "Young man, are you a true Taoist, a Taoist priest?"
"Yes, I have inheritance. I am really an upright Taoist." After walking so far alone with someone on my back, I felt a little hot. The breath I exhaled became a stream in this cold night. There was a white mist in my mouth, but I felt a pride overflowing from my chest flowing in the mist.
"That's right, you must have been a Taoist! There used to be a Taoist priest with no ability in our town. He followed a mysterious man to that evil place and never came back! On weekdays, I can't see How is he different from ordinary people? He has the same small thoughts and small problems, but at the critical moment, he is so heroic... It surprises me. How can a little person understand the choice of justice? He told I, he has the inheritance of the Taoist family, and he knows what the bottom line should be in the heart of the Taoist family. He said that he is on the right path, and only with righteousness can there be a way. So what is righteousness? He has already figured out what it feels like in his heart, haha... ." Mr. Liu suddenly told me about such a person. In a few words, a vivid image was sketched in front of my eyes.
I suddenly thought of a person and couldn't help but say: "Are you talking about... Mr. Liu from this town?"
"Do you know Mr. Liu?" Mr. Liu was obviously surprised.
"Well, I heard a story before I came here. I actually came here to find Mr. Liu's youngest son, Liu Weijun... Before, I thought you were him! But, your name is Liu Jiwang, right?" My heart has long been clouded I had this question, and at this moment, I just happened to say it.
"What story have you heard? Do you know more? Are you looking for the Wei Army? In terms of seniority, I should be the Wei Army's second cousin. You think I am the leader. In fact... I am leading our group of people. It's always Weijun, but his condition is very bad, so he can't come tonight." Mr. Liu asked a series of questions at first, but he quickly answered my questions. I didn't expect that he turned out to be a relative of Liu Weijun.
Uncle Ge once said that Liu Weijun is not easy to get close to, but I thought about this opportunity. It seems that I am afraid that I will find Liu Weijun and find the real clues. Thinking about this, I feel a little better tonight for the first time. Relax, and while walking with Mr. Liu on his back, he said: "There are many things that I can't explain right now. So, old man, can you take me to meet Liu Weijun first? I will definitely tell you these things."
"That's no problem, but it's already inconvenient to move at night. People in this town just gave birth to a bride. I'm afraid it will be another emotional night. You can come to me during the day tomorrow and I will take you to see the guards." As he spoke, Mr. Liu suddenly seemed to have come to his senses and asked again: "Where do you live? How could this town let you, an outsider, stay overnight so easily?"
As expected of a man from the town, Mr. Liu immediately found the key point. Only then did I realize that I didn’t know who the old man was at the place where I stayed. I didn’t know anything about my last name, so I could only smile bitterly, and then briefly told the old man where I lived.
After hearing this, Mr. Liu was a little silent. After a while, he said: "Well, it doesn't matter. After all, I saw you take action today. It's amazing! Unlike Mr. Liu, who is a Taoist priest with no ability... I'm not afraid of Old Man Wang either." What can I do to you, not to mention that you have companions? Come to me tomorrow! Right here, I will be here."
While we were talking, we had walked a long way. The dozen or so old people reminded me softly from time to time which way to go. We walked around seventy-eight thousand times to reach an alley. Mr. Liu was pointing to an old tube building in the alley.
I took a deep look at this tube building and must remember it, because this is the place I will come to tomorrow. At the same time, I also let go of Mr. Liu.
"Except for the guards, there are more than a dozen of us living in this building now, because we are the only unyielding people left in the town. Living together can help each other, so you can come tomorrow. Mr. Liu looked at me and said seriously, with some inexplicable expectation in his eyes.
I nodded solemnly. At this time, the wind blew away the dark clouds covering the moon, and I saw Mr. Liu showing a smile of relief under the moonlight.
----------Dividing line-----------
It was two old men who sent me back to the place where I lived. They were very silent and didn't want to talk about many things, but their brief conversation also let me know that the owner of the place where I lived was named Wang.
"His name is Wang Xiangjun. Once, a pair of his sons and daughters were selected at the same time and sent to that evil place." This is what one of the old men said to me. The words were very brief, but one sentence said a lot.
This reminds me of the time I went to this old man's room before setting off. In addition to the weird skeleton, there were several photos in the room... Now I can be sure that the photos really belong to him. Wife and kids!
I didn't see his wife, I just felt inexplicable anger in my heart. Why could he be called the insensitive person in the town when his children were sent away and he didn't know whether they were alive or dead
With this thought in mind, we had already reached the gate of the yard. The two old men said goodbye to me as if they had some scruples, and left in a hurry. Looking at their backs, I suddenly remembered a sentence, it was Liu The old man told me when he was leaving, why are the people in the town a little excited about sending off a bride today
Full of doubts, I pushed open the door to the yard. As soon as there was any movement, I saw Ruxue and Brother Chengxin running out of the house.
"Chengyi!" Brother Chengxin got a little excited. He called my name, rushed over, grabbed me, and looked at me strangely. He must have been wondering why I was wearing such a weird cloak.
And Ruyue also came over, with an expression of "surviving the disaster", and pulled me at the same time.
Looking at them, I was full of things to say, but at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the town, which was extremely harsh in the middle of the night.
Brother Chengxin and Ruyue looked at each other, obviously confused as to what was causing all the commotion in the town in the middle of the night. It was like it was a happy event, but before I could say anything, I heard people's crazy shouts faintly. At the same time, someone in the town lit a bunch of firecrackers, which exploded in the night.
I sighed helplessly, but Brother Chengxin looked at me and said: "What's going on? Is it the kind of doomsday in the movie, where the corpses of people in the town have changed? Or am I remembering the wrong date? In fact, it was the end of the world." It’s Spring Festival?”
Hearing Brother Chengxin's words, Ruyue laughed out loud, but I said helplessly: "I'm afraid I know what it means to be emotionally unstable!"
