Chen Qiu left Shen Village, taking Zilong Ginseng with him.
He also took Xiao Xi’s body with him.
After walking for only more than ten minutes, Chen Qiu was out of breath and collapsed on the ground breathing heavily.
This is the consequence of losing his martial arts skills, not to mention being severely beaten by Lao Yu and the other six Martial Kings. Chen Qiu now relies on willpower to move forward.
But at this moment, his willpower collapsed. Chen Qiu lay on the ground and looked up at the starry sky. Stars were dotted in the huge black screen. The sound of wind could be heard in his ears. Chen Qiu was exhausted physically and mentally.
After his body had calmed down and gained some strength, Chen Qiu stood up, looked at Xiao Xi next to him, his eyes filled with guilt, bit his lips and said, "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to take you to Guancheng, but I still can't." Obviously I can't do it with my ability, so... don't worry, I will avenge you one day."
In the darkness, a long voice suddenly sounded: "Revenge? Who are you seeking revenge from?"
Looking in the blink of an eye, a man in black walked out slowly. Chen Qiu's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Of course I'm looking for your patriarch."
This person is the old fish sent to escort Chen Qiu.
Old Yu twisted his neck. Under the dim moonlight, he was dressed in black, but his face was stained and bruised: "Our patriarch? Are you mistaken? You are the one who killed this girl. You Why are you seeking revenge from our patriarch?"
There was a joking smile on his lips: "You wouldn't have felt guilty. You could have just let it go and let our patriarch kill her, but in the end, it wasn't you who plunged the dagger into her chest."
"Shut up!" Chen Qiu shouted furiously.
"What?" Lao Yu raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "You don't dare to listen to the truth, do you? You put all the blame on the patriarch, just to seek inner comfort."
Chen Qiu gritted his teeth: "He forced me! I have no choice!"
"There is no way?" Old Yu sneered: "How could it be possible? I told you that you can let it go. It's just that you were too eager for this purple dragon ginseng. You wanted to use it to save your senior sister, so you killed an innocent man. You don't want to accept her life, so you can only seek relief, but your hands will be stained with this girl's blood for the rest of your life, and no matter how you wash it, you can't wash it off."
"Stop talking!!!" Chen Qiu's face turned pale, he covered his ears and kept mumbling, but his voice was too low for Old Yu to hear clearly.
He no longer cared about Chen Qiu, but held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and said calmly: "Let her rest in peace! Right here, she is a burden to you."
Chen Qiu stared at Xiao Xi blankly. After an unknown amount of time, he knelt on the ground and dug into the soil with his hands, as if he had accepted his fate.
In the dark night, Chen Qiu's figure becomes increasingly lonely and lonely...
Until his hands were filled with blood, he didn't know whether it was his own or Xiao Xi's. The sudden stinging sensation made Chen Qiu's numb and empty eyes suddenly come back to reality. Unknowingly, a big hole had been dug, and he was His body was covered in dirt, and the blood on his hands was mixed with the dirt, giving off a pungent smell of blood.
Chen Qiu silently placed Xiao Xi steadily in the pit and carved a tombstone. However, Chen Qiu only knew her name was "Xiao Xi" and did not know her full name.
"You are really a person who values love and justice." Lao Yu watched the whole process and sneered: "However, this kind of character is very disadvantageous in the world."
Chen Qiu was speechless. After burying all the soil and placing the tombstone firmly, he turned around and asked, "What is Jianghu?"
Lao Yu was stunned when he was asked, and said with a smile: "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes."
"So." Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows: "If you are in the Jianghu, you must be ruthless and unjust? Just like your patriarch?"
"Of course." Old Yu said nonchalantly: "If you want to become a powerful person, you must be cruel. Treat outsiders like this, and treat yourself the same way."
"But what's the point?" Chen Qiu sat on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Become the strongest, what happens after that?"
Old Yu frowned: "You are a bit picky. Now that you have become the strongest, of course you enjoy being different. Haven't you experienced that feeling of being superior to others?" He also sat down and looked at Shen. In the direction of the village, the splendid main hall looks like the place where emperors lived in ancient times. But except for the main hall, the rest of Shen Village is like a slum, dilapidated, and even worse than a slum, because here the classes are clearly defined. Places with poor capabilities don't even have a place to live, and they can't even provide the most basic food and clothing.
But the people living in the main hall enjoy glory and wealth, living a luxurious and debauched life of wine and meat, and everyone is eager to become stronger. Their purpose is the same, which is to enter the main hall! From the moment they step into the main hall, From that moment on, they also became true masters in Shen Village!
"Don't you envy the life of the patriarch?" Old Yu's eyes showed deep admiration, but there was also hidden fear: "He covers the sky with one hand in Guancheng and dominates everything we have. This is the supreme right. , no one dares to disobey him, his words are imperial edicts, and we can only obey them."
"No." Chen Qiu shook his head: "I just think he is very sad."
"Pathetic?" Old Yu said in disbelief: "Are you kidding? How can the patriarch be pathetic?"
Chen Qiu said calmly: "Does he have any friends?"
Old Yu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Do you know what you are talking about? Do you still need friends when you are in his position?"
"Why don't you need it?" Chen Qiu frowned: "Do you have any friends?"
"Of course." Old Yu nodded and said: "Those who were beaten up by you in the morning are all my brothers. We fought side by side, through life and death. We are also the most trusted team of the patriarch. It's a pity that we fell into your hands, otherwise I don't need to do such tiring work as escorting you, so it can be regarded as my punishment."
"Oh." Chen Qiu said thoughtfully: "Then will you tell them about your affairs?"
"Definitely!" Lao Yu said firmly: "Hey, sometimes we go to Guancheng to have fun together, and then discuss which family has the most upright girls."
"Really?" Chen Qiu asked again: "Then will you tell them your troubles?"
The smile on Lao Yu's face froze a little, and his eyes were a little dodgey, but it was fleeting: "Occasionally, maybe."
"No, right?" Chen Qiu said calmly: "It's okay to lie to me, but you still lie to yourself? You don't want to talk to them at all, and you even say you don't dare."
"Nonsense!" Lao Yu stood up and yelled angrily: "We are very close, why didn't I tell them?"
Chen Qiu sneered: "Generally speaking, those so-called troubles are our weaknesses, and you are worried that someone will take away your position as captain because of your weaknesses, so you can only be depressed alone in the dead of night. , maybe have a drink and smoke a cigarette, right?”
Old Yu clenched his fists and his eyes were a little bloodshot. It was obvious that Chen Qiu had guessed correctly.
In fact, this cannot be regarded as a revelation. In a place like Shen Village, you must not only guard against outsiders, but also guard against those "brothers and sisters".
Everyone wears a mask of hypocrisy, and no one knows what kind of expression is hidden behind the mask.
Lao Yu didn't know how to talk, and neither did anyone else. Everyone formed a tacit understanding unconsciously.
"Are you going to hit me?" Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows and simply lay down on the ground: "If so, please give me a good time, but please be sure to send Purple Dragon Ginseng to the Su family."
"I really want to kill you." Lao Yu's inner strength fluctuated. He did have murderous intentions, but he could not kill Chen Qiu because there was no order from Shen Tianyu.
"Even you are so lonely, let alone your great clan leader?" Chen Qiu said calmly: "He only let you see the so-called scenery, but you don't know that behind the powerful scenery, it is he alone in the dead of night. Child-like loneliness, that's enough." Chen Qiu stood up, wiped off the dust on his body, and took a deep look at Xiao Xi's tombstone: "You and I have different worlds, and we can't empathize with each other. Maybe you are right, or maybe you are right. I'm right, but it doesn't matter, after all, we will never meet again after you send me to the Su family."
"Is it really that important?" Old Yu squinted his eyes and restrained his murderous intent: "You are obviously so talented that the six of us are no match for you together, but why did you give up such a good foundation for a woman..."
Chen Qiu said lightly: "I said, our world is different! Your world is gray, you selfishly want to become stronger, you don't care about everything you have, your parents? Wife and children? No, None of those are more important than you getting stronger, but my world is colorful, I have family, love, and friendship, and I am willing to give up everything about myself for the emotions of these outsiders."
"It's not about who is right or wrong. Let's go. Time is running out and I still have to save people."
