Tale of the Third World 44(1/2)
The old man stretched out his hand to stop Su Hang who was about to step forward. He held on to the crumbling door frame and continued to cough, supporting each other in the same broken state.
"Young man, how old are you this year?" The old man finally stopped smashing the door frame together and asked a question while he was coughing.
"Seventeen" Su Hang replied.
Finally, he ignored the old man's obstruction and gently stroked his back with his hand, and a trace of true energy penetrated into the old man's body. As expected, his dilapidated physical condition was almost exhausted, and Dolanduo's soul would appear at any time.
Abandon this broken body and start a new and fresh life.
Thinking of this, Su Hang suddenly felt sad. Since he entered the road of spiritual cultivation, he has understood that there will be no afterlife. How can God allow you to compete with God again? Now I think that the life of a mortal is equally wonderful, and the next life may be the same.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime effort.
The old man's cough finally got better. He looked up at Su Hang. I don't know if it was an illusion or real. Su Hang saw a sharp edge in the old man's eyes. When he came back to look for it, he found that his eyes were still cloudy, as if they were...
Bewildered by the long years.
"Seventeen? Why is there such a struggle through vicissitudes of life? Young man, you are confused." The old man babbled, ignoring Su Hang's kindness, turning around and walking towards the dilapidated ruins. The ruins were very dilapidated, and there was no sign of any human beings.
I don’t know why the old man settled in such a dilapidated place.
Su Hang wanted to go to the top, but in the end he didn't take a step forward. He even refused to rub his back to straighten his energy, so how could he care about his other actions?
The old man had arrived at a corner of the dilapidated courtyard, still mumbling some disturbing words.
Su Hang also turned and left, but his behavior today was a bit strange. After taking two steps forward, the old man's voice was almost lost in the void, but a faint voice came out, still
It was very quiet, but it was not as clear as other words. Although the voice was small, it seemed to be ringing in my heart, "See you in two days."
His back was soaked with sweat for a moment, and Su Hang, who was now exhausted backstage, deliberately listened to the nagging of a waning old man. How could he not hear the truth? Turning around, he saw the deep grass and trees in the courtyard, which the old man had just stepped on.
The moss stone left no footprints, and did not even allow a stubborn moss tree in the moss to be taller than the grass to bend his waist.
Naturally, there was no trace of the old man at this time. Suhang also tried to step on the moss stone, and the day after tomorrow, he used his Kung Fu with all his strength. In the end, several moss plants were bent over, and the Qi leaked out.
When it is running, Qi naturally leaks out, so the old man is strong and returns to his original nature.
The old man said that he would meet again in two days. Suhang turned around and left, stepping into the light of the rising sun. The dilapidated courtyard in the shadow was like a dilapidated wound.
Are you upset?
Tonight there is no longer that delicate figure in the shadow outside the window, but Suhang still has difficulty settling down peacefully. His life is only a short period of more than ten years, and even a mortal body still has a long time to go, but somehow there is
The hopelessness of old age.
Last night, I thought about this short period of time, and found that I had been cowardly and forbearing all the way. Even if I rarely showed my strength, it seemed that I had done something wrong.
As expected, he was depressed, but his heart was even more confused.
"Let's go meet Jiaoqi today."
Su Hang hid the dagger in his sleeve and was about to go to a place and person that he had been avoiding.
"Ruoruo, although we know each other, we are not close friends, are we? Did you come to my place early just to say these meaningless words?" She looked at the young man in front of her delicately. If it weren't for the wretched temperament that occasionally showed up, she would have
It can indeed be said that Feng Shen is like jade.
Jiaoqi had been tossing and turning last night, getting up to freshen up after a night of exhaustion, but not wanting to be disturbed by the young man in front of her. She thought it was God's important thing, but she kept talking about old memories that she had just learned the preface to.
Things that even street storytellers know.
"Don't bother me. I came to you because I want you to know." She didn't know what it was that was unspeakable, Ruoruo looked at her delicately in embarrassment.
"Say!" Jiaoqi, who had a very good temper, finally couldn't hold back her anger.
"Come with me to find Su Hang?"
Ruoruo said carefully, even peeking at the squeamish reaction. He did not dare to go to Su Hang alone, because it was Lan Ji who asked him to ask about Zhang Fang. If he went to Su Hang by himself, Ruoruo would naturally not
There will be psychological barriers, but if it is difficult to talk about Lan Ji's incident, so if you want to make someone more courageous, being squeamish is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, Jiaoji's face was calm, as if she had heard that Wang Mazi's steamed buns sold an extra bun yesterday.
"Are you going?" Ruoruo couldn't understand the delicate calmness.
Without waiting for an answer, a light knock on the door rang out. The courtyard of a cultivator naturally has its power. It is not what the owner wants, but outsiders cannot pry into it, so the only way to visit is with the most primitive knock on the door.
After the door rang, Su Hang patiently stood at the door and waited. He even hoped that the owner of the courtyard would be away today because of something.
Things are just as they should be, so the door to the courtyard opened, but there were two people in the courtyard who were a bit unexpected.
"Ruoruo?"
Suhang was a little surprised.
"I have something to do with Jiaoqi. We just finished talking. Why didn't you come here without thinking about Su Hang?" Ruoruo smiled magnanimously, and naturally he had to be magnanimous. He and Su Hang are good friends, so they don't want to create some estrangement because of some unreasonable things. Even
He also took the opportunity to take a look at Jiao Jiao and found that she was still calm. It was just that Su Hang's arrival shocked him, so he didn't have time to see Jiao Jiao's body tremble at that moment. Then she burst into a smile and covered it up by flipping her hair.
.
Yesterday, Ca Suzhou came to see her. He said that he met Suhang on the road and they walked together. He said that Suhang was not a bad person, but he was not worthy of her. Moreover, Suhang gave away his long knife, and he
Now use a long knife.
Jiaoqi naturally understood what he meant, but she said that she no longer likes long knives and suddenly likes double swords. Because at the south gate of Shendu, he saw the young man who used to carry long knives on his back with a pair of short swords hanging on his waist.
Of course, Su Zhu also knew about swords, so he understood that what Jiaoqi had always liked was not long swords, let alone double swords, but that person just happened to be using them.
Su Zhi didn't say anything more. He left with no resentment in his eyes, but a little unwillingness and relief. He muttered in his heart, I finally passed a hurdle in my heart. Where are you, Su Hang?
Today's Su Hang was dressed a little strangely, with a long sword hanging on her waist and a long sword on her back. After calling out "Ruoruo", her eyes fell on Jiaoji. Today, Jiaoqi abandoned the green shirt she used to wear and put on a new one.
The white shirt actually had a sad beauty. Because she remembered Su Hang said that there was a beautiful white shadow lingering in his heart and he couldn't get rid of it, so he should be her instead.
Ruoruo wanted to say something more, but saw that the situation in the scene was a bit delicate, so she wisely left the courtyard and closed the door.
"You won't let me sit in the house?" Su Hang's mouth curled up into a lazy smile. He rarely smiled.
Jiaoqi stepped aside and made him a pot of tea. She was waiting for him to speak.
He took off the long knife from his back and put it on the table. "Here you go."
"Why give it to me?" Jiaoqi was naturally happy, but she did not take the sword.
"That day you asked me for help"
"That's not what I'm asking for." She said in a soft voice, with an uncontrollable smile on her lips.
"Then you give me away and you can't get me back. Maybe I won't see you again in the future."
"I want it, do you have anything else to say?" The girl picked up the long knife and put it behind her back, interrupting Su Hang's words.
Su Hang was a little at a loss for a moment. He bought the long knife at a blacksmith shop on the way here. It was very similar to the one he used, but it was just a resemblance, so he prepared a lot of excuses to convince himself and prepare
After convincing the others to leave the long knife behind, he actually didn't know what to say and couldn't find a reason to stay.
After awkwardly bidding farewell to Jiaoqi, Suhang left this quiet courtyard. After taking a few steps, he was stopped by Ruoruo who had left earlier.
"How many drinks are you going to have? We haven't seen you and my brother for a long time!"
Seeing Su Hang clumsily closing the door, Jiaoqi finally burst into laughter. She didn't sleep well last night, not because she tossed and turned, but because she made a divination for herself. She still saw two figures on Nanshan Mountain.
Yi Nv, this time she could see more clearly, and she also saw a pair of daggers.
"Ruoruo, I met your Lan family on the way back. He said his name was Lan Yan. Have you seen him?" Su Hang was sure that the person who stabilized the ghost in the knife for him that day was the ancestor of the Lan family, but he did not want to mention Tianbo.
The second word is, of course, Lan Yan.
"That's a distant cousin of mine. I don't have any memory of it. When I first arrived in Shendu, I sent some things to my old man, and I went back after sending them."
Ruoruo drank the wine indifferently, wondering why this friend would mention such a trivial matter.
Su Hang also laughed it off. Since he didn't know, why bother?
"You have something to do with me? You don't act like someone who drinks."
Ruoruo is trying his best to persuade Su Hang to drink, but he only tastes it briefly. If he drinks too much, he will naturally talk too much, so he hopes Su Hang drinks more.
"I am your friend! A very good one!"
"Yes" The direction was a bit strange, Su Hang glanced at him doubtfully.
"Zhang Fang is also your good brother. A friend of a friend is my friend, so Zhang Fang and I are good friends!" After saying this, Ruoruo's eyes lit up and she even applauded for her wit.
Su Hang was not stupid, but he still replied: "That's right. I can introduce you to each other next time we meet, but if you want to know his whereabouts, you can ask directly."
"Where is that one now? Will you come to Shendu?"
"Hmm, I don't know!"
"You just said we were friends, but now you don't tell me!"
"But I really don't know!"
"That day he said that his life was all yours. He looked like a loyal dog. How could you not know his whereabouts!"
"He is my friend, not a loyal dog!"
Su Hang was a little angry and looked at Ruoruo with sharp eyes. This was a rare sight for him, and his eyes were a bit captivating. As friends, it is understandable that there may be conflicts of interest, but they should be in an equal position, otherwise how can we have a heart-to-heart relationship?
How can we go together
"Then you really don't know his whereabouts?" Ruoruo asked cautiously. It was the first time he saw Su Hang's eyes like this. He had different ideas. Although he didn't agree, he was not qualified to deny it.
