A middle-aged man looked at the paper in his hand seriously through the faint light. It was a very strange piece of paper, made of gold and stone, embroidered with gorgeous gold threads, and glowing with a faint green light.
He gritted his teeth, glanced at the two sleeping soundly beside him, and finally made up his mind.
He always grabs his son to brag about the achievements of his ancestors...
The ancestor of their lineage was the most capable general next to the ancestor. He was always at the forefront. Even this mountain forest was selected with his help. The ancestor was very happy and gave him a gift.
pages of paper.
The ancestor said that it was passed down by his master, and that page also contained the secret of becoming an immortal, but it was a pity that he no longer had any use for it.
The child was forced by his parents to write down every detail on the paper.
It was a map. At the end of the winding road, there was a swaying flower depicted. The surface of the paper was obviously so rough, but the rays of light escaped from the flower as if they were real.
It's so beautiful, just like the moon in the sky, just out of reach. The child's eyes reflect the light and sparkle with stars.
Finally one day, they set foot on that road, a road of seeking death, a road full of despair.
...
Li Chen threw the old wooden barrel aside and sat on the same old wooden bench, looking blankly at the sky outside.
The dilapidated house creaked, as if it was about to collapse.
Boom, boom, boom!
A knock on the door pulled Li Chen out of his thoughts. Li Chen opened the wooden door full of ancient traces. At the door was a big man wearing brown clothes.
The big man's face was expressionless and serious: "Li Chen, remember to hand back your share in the next few days, otherwise we will take it ourselves!"
Li Chen looked at the big man's burly and tall body, and then looked at his own. He could only nod his head without changing his expression, and sent the big man away for the time being.
Frowning his brows, Li Chen's eyes darkened as he looked at the strong man's retreating figure. It was too fast, it came so soon...
His heart seemed to be cast into a shadow at the same time, and the hesitation and hesitation shown in his eyes from time to time were completely gone. If they wanted to push themselves to death, then the final retreat would be obvious.
He thought about that incident again, that so-called treasure that killed the treasure of his predecessor's family. That seemed to be his only chance.
In the end, Li Chen turned around and lit the candle made of Poro fruit, without letting the fog really cover him.
The dark period has arrived.
A day is divided into day, gray and night, and each period is equally divided into four hours, no more, no less. No one will go out to work during this time period, even in the village, it is not dangerous at all.
Li Chen looked at the gloomy world, and the melancholy in his eyebrows almost turned into bitterness. This trip would be a near-death situation. He hoped that God would bless him for the sake of being a time traveler.
Li Chen withdrew his gaze, took out a few Poros from under the bed board, took out a rag and wrapped them in preparation for tomorrow's journey.
Lying on the creaking bed, the shabby quilt could not completely cover his body. Fortunately, the weather was not too cold now, otherwise he would have suffered. After all, Poro fuel was too luxurious, and only the one that could really freeze someone to death
Only when the time comes can you dare to use it.
It's a hell with no entertainment items. Li Chen is a little bored and it's time to go to bed.
...
The deep darkness still enveloped the earth, and Li Chen had woken up, having been awake for a long time.
After getting out of bed, I stared out of the window for a moment. Sure enough, the sky completely recovered in an instant. The time was just right, and the night would not occupy a single minute of the dawn. It was more punctual than pinching the point. It was weird and reasonable.
Li Chen put the packed package on his waist and left the crumbling house without looking back.
The old shoes stepped on the fine gravel, making a strange sound.
Although Li Chen's body is not too strong, he can only be considered slender. At the age of seventeen, he is in his prime years. If he were still in the original world, he would be able to go to college at this age. Alas, what a bad luck.
There were no pedestrians on the road yet, only a few peeking eyes noticed him.
Looking around the path, there were only dilapidated houses, broken earthen pots and some useless garbage to keep him company.
For him now, there is only one obstacle to leaving the village, and that is Uncle Li, who guards the village.
"Huh-" The old man leaned on the starched wicker chair and stretched out comfortably. Suddenly, a shadow enveloped him. He was enjoying the sunshine, but the sun disappeared.
The old man's temper suddenly rose, and he was about to stand up and curse. However, when he saw the person coming, doubts filled his eyes, and he even forgot about his anger.
"Uncle Li." Li Chen's voice was calm, and no unnecessary emotion could be heard.
Uncle Li's face was full of surprise and confusion, but the triumphant emotions flowing in his eyes were well concealed.
Could it be...
The uncle looked up and down, and finally noticed the package around the young man's waist. He deliberately asked with deep doubts: "Are you planning to leave the village?"
Li Chen's hands were clenched red, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have to leave the village!"
The uncle suddenly became anxious and said in a sincere manner: "I can't help it. Why are you so hard to think about it, kid?"
Li Chen didn't care anymore. Everyone knew the situation in the village: "Can I survive here?"
Uncle Li nodded slightly, but shook his head at Li Chen's reason.
Li Chen naturally knew why Uncle Li shook his head. Even if Li Chen was worried that they would take his parents' share of the credit, he would still have a narrow escape if he ran out. It might be even worse than in the village. He would either be eaten by wild beasts or win a big prize at the beginning.
He collided head-on with a monster and immediately announced that his life would end here.
Uncle Li explained the reason very calmly: "Since your accident, the village chief has prohibited anyone from leaving the village.
Fortunately, the demon you encountered was not a ruthless person, otherwise our entire village would have been wiped out by him. You already provoked one last time, and I am letting you out this time. If you provoked a demon, our village would be in trouble.
It’s really over, so, no.”
Li Chen didn't expect Lao Li to refuse so simply. Also, I heard that Lao Li seemed to be the village chief's only confidant, and it didn't seem to be a big deal to follow the village chief's orders.
If he really returns successfully from this trip, he still wants to bring back his parents. Although there is a high probability of failure, people have to have dreams, right?
If he could go out normally, he would still be unwilling to use other evil methods. As a result, Old Man Li was so disrespectful.
Li Chen turned around and prepared to leave. He planned to come over in the afternoon, knock out Old Man Li with two punches, and force open the gate of this formation. This was the only way he could think of.
As a result, Old Man Li said uncharacteristically: "Wait a minute, it's not like we can't be accommodating."
Li Chen was a little confused and didn't understand why Old Man Li suddenly gave in. He had some unfounded speculations in his heart: This old guy seems to want me to leave...
Uncle Li also simply threw a small token emitting blue light onto the table. He lay down directly on the wicker chair, closed his eyes, and tilted his head to the side, as if he was asleep: "I fell asleep."
,did not see it".
Li Chen was not going to hesitate, and he was too lazy to care about Old Man Li's plans. If he could come back, what would these ghosts and snake gods mean to him? If he couldn't come back, there was no point in arguing. He picked up the small token and stretched out his hand.
brush.
The sizzling sound rippled, and the light curtain of the formation began to shake, as if it were jelly. The villagers almost simultaneously looked up at the formation above their heads, and a ridiculous idea grew in their minds, which they could not get rid of: Someone was there.
Want to leave the village.
A small door appeared on the blue light film, squirming slightly.
Li Chen threw the token back to its original position. He was not prepared to leave any escape route for himself. Only by making a desperate move could he get closer to success.
Clearer sunlight shone on his body. He chose to walk that path again, not only to survive, but also to be worthy of the gift of being able to live another life. He didn't want to be an ordinary person!
As soon as Li Chen's figure left, Uncle Li opened his eyes, with a hint of mischief in his eyes, and said softly: "As expected, I can't bear the pressure, but it's okay. As long as he doesn't come back within ten days, the village chief will also
There is nothing to say, these shares belong to us of course, hahaha, with my reputation, I can divide at least three plants, and I can have a prosperous year next year."
...
The swaying of the array was so noisy that Wang Yingying, who was washing her clothes in the courtyard, suddenly felt uneasy.
There was a faint cough in the room, and her father, who was seriously ill, probably hadn't woken up yet.
She thought of something, so she opened the door, passed a house, and came to a slightly dilapidated door.
"Dongdong——"
She knocked gently, but there was no response.
"Dong dong dong——"
She tried harder, but still got no response.
She comforted herself, maybe Ah Chen just went to the fields, so she was not at home, so don't think nonsense.
But a passing neighbor reminded me mercilessly: "Stop knocking, Xiaochen seems to have left with a package on his back. Judging from the movement just now, he probably left the village!"
For a moment, her face turned pale, and she murmured: "I asked you to come with me and survive the winter and then think of a solution, but you didn't..."
As the girl spoke, she covered her mouth and started crying... This chapter has been completed!
