Chapter 118 The old man died
Seeing what Du Jie said, the old man shook his head slightly: "No need to say any more, I know what the young master means. It's a pity that my daughter is not lucky enough to have a life. She doesn't have this life, and she can't ask for it."
When the woman heard the conversation between Du Jie and her father, she didn't know what they were talking about at first. After listening for a few times, she understood that her father wanted to betroth her to the young hero in front of her. She was so ashamed that she lowered her head.
Although his head was lowered, his eyes carefully looked at Du Jie from the corner of his eye.
The old man also felt a little embarrassed to say anything to Du Jie now, so he simply got up and walked forward to see the dead man who was killed by lightning just now. Du Jie was too embarrassed to persuade the woman, but when he saw the old man walking forward, he didn't know what to do.
How to persuade him? He stood there and blushed. It was the first time since he was born that he had encountered such an embarrassing thing.
When the old man got close to the man, he leaned down and took a closer look. The colorful clothes that the man wore before his death turned into coke color after being struck by lightning. They were all pitch black, and his facial features could no longer be distinguished. The old man circled around him for two seconds.
Circle, suddenly said "Hey"
"Sir, this man doesn't seem to be dead yet. Look at his chest still rising and falling. Is he still alive?" After saying that, he reached out to touch him.
Du Jie glanced at the man's chest and saw that there seemed to be something alive moving on the man's chest. Ordinarily, in front of the 'Leading Lightning Technique', there could be no one who survived a full blow. What happened to this man?
Du Jie also planned to go and see what was going on. At that moment, a scorpion's tail hook emerged from the man's clothes.
When Du Jie saw it, he shouted, "Don't move!"
When he said this, it was already too late. A three-inch long poisonous scorpion sprang out from the man's chest, and the poisonous scorpion's barb pierced the old man's arm in an instant. The old man fell aside with an ouch.
Du Jie took three steps and two steps at a time, then moved his fingers with his left hand, shooting a flying rainbow at the poisonous scorpion. The flying rainbow hit the poisonous scorpion solidly. But what Du Jie didn't expect was that the poisonous scorpion just rolled back a few times.
He made a somersault, but then he realized something bad and ran away quickly to the side.
If this poisonous scorpion could bear it, he would point his finger at it and fly into the rainbow. It was definitely not an ordinary creature. But Du Jie couldn't care about it at this time.
Du Jie came to the old man's side and saw that the old man was already twitching all over. Du Jie secretly thought that it was too bad and immediately took out a bottle of medicine from his body. This medicine was left to him by Yao Bodhi when he left. According to him, there are ever-changing poisons in the world, but
No matter what kind of poison, this bottle of medicine can cure it.
After swallowing a pill, the old man's dark complexion improved slightly. The venomous scorpion was unprecedentedly poisonous. If it had been a moment and a half later, there was no doubt that the old man would not be able to be saved.
The old man took the medicine. After a while, his throat bulged, and then he vomited out a mouthful of black and purple blood. As the mouthful of dirty blood came out, the old man's whole body seemed to wilt. He opened his eyes hard, and then
Look clearly at Du Jie in front of you.
Du Jie held his head and asked him hurriedly: "Old man, are you okay? How do you feel?"
The old man coughed hard, as if he wanted to spit out the dirty blood. He shook his head and called his daughter over. Just now, the woman was shy when she heard that her father wanted to make the decision for her to marry Du Jie, but in an instant she was seriously poisoned.
She ran up to the old man and held his hand: "Daddy, don't scare me. How about you, daddy?"
The old man touched her face lovingly and said stumblingly: "Tui'er, your eldest brother... your eldest brother is gone, he died half a year ago. There is no need for us to go to the Northwest Camp. Daddy can't walk either.
You were born in my family. From now on, there will be no relatives in this world. Cui'er, daddy is sorry for you."
The woman was crying more and more. When she saw her father, she did not see her elder brother, and her heart became tight. But she really couldn't accept the news from her father, and now her father's life and death were uncertain.
The only two relatives of the day were gone, which suddenly gave the woman no hope of survival.
The old man shook Du Jie's hand and said, "Master... I'm afraid I won't survive. Master saved me several times, but my fate is like this. I will die here in the northwest. After I die, I don't ask you to protect my daughter, I only ask her."
I can be a girl by your side. If the master really doesn’t want to, please arrange for her to marry into someone else’s family. It’s a great kindness to you, and I, the old man, will repay you in my next life.”
When Du Jie saw the old man's reaction, he didn't know why his medicine didn't work. Logically speaking, the antidote left by Yao Bodhi couldn't detoxify the old man's poison. Seeing the old man's reaction, Du Jie took out the medicine bottle from his arms.
.The old man shook his head
"Sir, it's not that your medicine doesn't work. The old man has been poisoned before. The doctor said that the poison is in the internal organs. It's fine if you keep it, but if you pull it out, you will die in an instant. This is my life, I accept it.
"
After the old man finished speaking, he squeezed his daughter's hand: "Dad, I don't want to die. None of you have a family. Dad...Dad doesn't want to die like this. Daddy, I'm sorry...ah...ah!"
As the old man talked, his state became more and more uncomfortable. He screamed twice in discomfort, and his voice gradually became extremely weak. He finally looked at Du Jie.
Du Jie knew that the old man was worried about his daughter and was waiting for Du Jie to agree to his request. Du Jie felt very uncomfortable when he saw the old man like this. He was originally upset, but when he saw the old man's eyes, he didn't know why, so he nodded silently.
He nodded and agreed.
When the old man saw Du Jie nodding, he wanted to show a smile, but before he could smile, his whole body began to twitch uncontrollably, his legs kicked, and he died in front of Du Jie after a while.
Du Jie silently looked at the old man's body. Although he had known him for less than two days, he had lost his beloved son in the past two days, and now he died in the northwest. Du Jie had said in the morning that he would provide for him until the end of his life, but he didn't expect it.
These words are still in my ears, but now the man is dead.
Nature plays tricks on people.
When the woman saw her father passing away like this, she was so stimulated that she fainted.
When the woman woke up again, she was in a carriage. It took her a long time to remember what had happened. She jumped off the carriage and saw Du Jie standing in front of her. In front of Du Jie was a new grave bag.
Du Jie didn't turn around and said, "Are you awake? I still don't know your father's name."
The woman's eyes were swollen and red. She couldn't understand when she saw the grave in front of her. She plopped down on her knees and said, "My father's name is Zhao Shoude."
Du Jie nodded, took the wooden board next to him in his hand, and carved the words Zhao Shoude into it with his fingers. Then he gave the wooden board to the woman: "This is your father's tombstone."
The woman took it from Du Jie's hand and saw the words that Du Jie had carved. Finally, she took out her finger to donate blood, and then wrote her name on it one stroke at a time. After the woman finished writing, Du Jie took it over and saw
It says: "My beloved daughter Su Xiaodie."
Du Jie asked strangely: "Your name is Su Xiaodie? Isn't your father's surname Zhao? Didn't he call you Cui'er?"
The woman nodded and shook her head: "I took my grandfather's surname. My father was abducted and adopted by others and took the surname of Zhao. Later he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. My brother took the surname of Zhao, so I did.
The surname is Su. My mother thought Cui Er was not good-sounding, so she changed my name to Xiaodie when I was three years old. My father named me Shunzui and never changed her name."
Du Jie nodded, turned around and placed the tombstone in front of the grave.
"Say goodbye to your father and let's go back to Yongzhou."
Su Xiaodie looked up at Du Jie: "How do you plan to arrange for me?"
"This..." Du Jie actually hadn't made up his mind yet. He lowered his head and looked at Su Xiaodie again. Maybe he had just experienced the death of a relative. Su Xiaodie didn't have the shyness just now, and her eyes were straight.
Looking at Du Jie: "I'm going back to Yongzhou for a little while. If Miss Su wants to settle down in Yongzhou, I can ask someone to find a good family for you."
Su Xiaodie shook her head: "I'm not familiar with the place in the northwest, and I don't want to stay here."
Du Jie hesitated a little after hearing this, and thought for a long time before saying: "Then you follow me to Yongzhou first, and when you return to the Central Plains, I can take you back to your hometown."
Su Xiaodie still shook her head and said: "I have lost all my relatives in my hometown a long time ago. Dad is my last relative in the world."
"This..." Du Jie found it a little difficult to handle when he heard this.
Su Xiaodie turned around and knelt in front of Du Jie
"My father entrusted me to the young master before he died. Young master, you can take me with you from now on. I can wash and cook, and can do anything. Even though I am a child from a poor family. I have read a few books since I was a child, and I can recognize a few words."
, I can also hold the sword and lead the horse for you. I beg you, please accept me."
Su Xiaodie seemed to have spotted Du Jie, kneeling in front of him and looking at him sincerely.
Du Jie had no choice but to refuse, but he really didn't know how to deal with her. Du Jie thought about it again and again, so he could only do this first. If it didn't work, he might as well let her stay in Yashan later.
Du Jie nodded at this time: "Get up, I agreed. You can follow me first, but what I do is extremely dangerous. If I ask you to do anything from now on, you will do it."
"Xiaodie understands."
Su Xiaodie paid her last respects to her father and followed Du Jie to Yongzhou.
After they had walked for half an hour, the soil on the grave began to shake for no reason, and then an old hand came out of it. Then it came out with the shoulder, neck, and head.
The old man named Zhao Shoude actually climbed out of the grave again.
He looked around, then looked in the direction of Yongzhou, and smiled.
"This kid is quite interesting, much more fun than Zhang Chaozong."
After saying this, he rushed out of the cemetery and stretched his muscles. Then he saw the charred corpse not far away that had been struck by lightning.
"The 'Lightning Technique', the old guy is really good at it. I dare to teach him this without fear of getting burned. No, this kid has only been learning with Zhen Shifang for three years. How come the 'Lightning Technique' is so powerful?"
The old man lowered his head and inspected: "It's a pity that this Hong family's stuff was still somewhat useful, but I didn't expect it to be gone all of a sudden. His poisonous scorpion is of some use, and we can't let it just disappear. I just went...
