The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 87 It’s too late
Song Feng looked at least ten years older than his age. Li Diudiu calculated that he was only in his early forties, but the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he looked like a man in his fifties or sixties.
The wrinkles on the face are like the cracks in the earth, and the most terrifying thing is the cracks in the eyes, which are a pair of eyes that almost find no hope.
He has lost everything, his family, his brothers, and his dreams.
"Little brother, maybe you are the only one of your age who still believes that loyalty is immutable."
Song Feng actually admires Li Diudiu very much. At his age, Li Diudiu was able to come all the way from Jizhou, and he was loyal to his wife no matter how hard it was. Eighty percent of adult men in the world could not do this.
"no."
After hearing what Song Feng said, Li Diudiu shook his head and said, "Loyalty cannot be changed. If it can be changed, it is not loyalty anymore."
Song Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He felt that the young man was too naive. He thought that when he reached his age, he would probably understand that nothing in this world is unchanging.
Song Feng said: "You are right."
He didn't want to argue with Li Diudiu, nor did he want to destroy the young man's firm belief. Someone had to uphold and pass on this belief.
"if……"
Song Feng looked at Li Diudiu and said, "If you follow my path one day, you must remember that I am your role model. After I conquered a county, I thought, am I ready to become the emperor..."
He shook his head: "People, once this thought appears in their minds, it is too terrible."
He looked up at the sky, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I heard a story when I was a child. My father told me... He said that there was a young man who cultivated himself to save the world. He traveled all over the world and helped many people, but he just couldn't become an immortal."
"Another immortal cultivator told him that it is impossible for him to attain enlightenment if he is entangled in the mundane world. He should let go of all distractions and concentrate on cultivation. The young man's thought is not unreasonable. After he becomes an immortal, he can save the world and the people. Wouldn't that be more powerful?"
"So he found a place to retreat, unaware of the cold and heat, unaware of the existence of the world. Finally, he understood the great way and ascended to become an immortal. When he arrived in heaven, he discovered that he was not the only immortal, but there were many other immortals in heaven, living a comfortable and enjoyable life."
"So he asked, you have all become true immortals, so many people in the lower world live in hardship, why can't you help them? Those immortals looked at him with pity... Someone told him that he would understand in the future."
Song Feng paused and continued, "Later, this young immortal discovered that only when the people were suffering would people pray to the gods and Buddhas, and they would have the power of faith. If the people were prosperous and healthy, who would think of praying to the gods? If no one believed in the gods, the gods would be finished... So, this young immortal also became like those old immortals, enjoying a comfortable life."
Song Feng looked at Li Diudiu and said, "There was a time when I thought I was that young immortal, and I could save the world and help the people... Later I discovered how wonderful it is to enjoy life."
Li Diudiu hummed, feeling quite touched.
Song Feng said: "It's the same with the emperor. When the Great Chu Emperor Taizu conquered the world, what was the slogan he shouted? To save the people of the world from dire straits. But what happened later? His descendants put the people in dire straits."
Li Diudiu nodded again. He thought to himself, not everyone is the same. In the future, a more powerful country will surely emerge. Every generation of emperors will put the people first. Only in this way can the country have long-term stability. It is said that without the country, the people cannot survive. But without the people, how can the country survive?
The two men, one riding a horse and the other riding a donkey, chatted a lot along the way. Song Feng had different experiences from others, although these experiences could not be described as positive.
But Li Diudiu is a person who will never let gloomy things affect his firm belief. These gloomy things will make him remember what he should not do and what he should do.
After walking for most of the day, the two arrived at the town where Li Diudiu was caught before. Only a few days had passed, and the people in the town seemed to have forgotten what happened before, as if it had never happened and it was all just a dream.
The owner of the snack shop was still the same as when Li Diudiu first met him, lifeless and without any expectation when he sat at the door waiting for customers.
It probably wasn't like this when he first opened the store.
The shopkeeper felt a little happy when he saw Li Diudiu and another person coming. After all, business is really difficult in this world. But when he saw the young man's appearance clearly, he was so scared that he wanted to close the door immediately.
Li Diudiu sighed and thought to himself, is this also a kind of cause and effect?
He met Song Feng, which was the cause and effect between Song Feng and Wang Heita. On his way back, he saw the boss again, which was the cause and effect between him and the boss.
Thinking of these inexplicable things, Li Diudiu was a little dazed.
"Don't close the door. I'll give you some silver as compensation."
Li Diudiu jumped off the donkey and gave a few taels of silver to the shopkeeper .
"I destroyed your store last time, but I left in a hurry and didn't leave you any compensation. These are for you."
Li Diudiu handed over the silver.
How dare the shopkeeper accept it?
The harmless boy in front of him was actually a little devil who killed twenty or thirty people in one breath a few days ago. He saw it from afar and saw that the boy did not hesitate at all when killing people.
“No, no, no…”
The shopkeeper quickly said, "Sir, forget it. The things in the store are worthless, so you don't need to compensate."
Li Diudiu put the silver on the table and said, "Then consider it as meal money. Prepare some food for us. We have to keep going after we finish eating."
The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "No more, there is nothing left to eat."
Song Feng said angrily: "Are you shameless?"
He is also a man who has killed countless people. Although he was once an ordinary person, after killing so many people, once he gets angry, the murderous look on his face can still scare ordinary people.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything else and had to get up to prepare things.
Li Diudiu and Song Feng sat down at the table outside the house. The house was too stuffy and it was better to be outside in the bright and open air. The shopkeeper went to do his work and the two of them sat there waiting. Not far away, a donkey and a horse touched each other's faces, and probably felt that they were of the wrong type, so they separated again. The donkey did not bray and the horse did not bray.
Song Feng asked curiously what had happened. Li Diudiu briefly told Song Feng what had happened. Song Feng sighed and thought to himself, Wang Heita, Wang Heita, you even implicated a little brother before you died.
He knew the work of those government officials best, and they would not give up until there was a result.
As he was talking, dust rose in the distance. A group of knights came from the direction of Jizhou City. It looked like there were quite a few of them. Song Feng glanced over there and said to Li Diudiu, "It can't be such a coincidence that they are here to kill you again."
Li Diudiu stood up and said, "Whether it's a coincidence or not, I'll go first and you stay. If someone notices you and I are together, you won't be able to leave."
Song Feng hummed: "Yes, you and I are not familiar with each other yet, why should I be implicated by you."
But he also stood up the moment Li Diudiu stood up. Li Diudiu glanced at him, and Song Feng said, "I don't know you well, and I won't die for you, but I am the eldest brother of Heita. He didn't recognize me when I was alive, and it's useless for him to deny me after I die."
Li Diudiu sighed: "I can get away, don't worry."
He handed the package to Song Feng: "If I can't get away, someone has to deliver the silver."
As they were talking, several people suddenly flew over from the back of the house. The one leading them was a man who looked to be in his twenties. He opened the portrait in his hand and looked at it, then looked at Li Diudiu.
"That's right."
He pointed at Li Diudiu and said, "It was he who killed One-Eye. Even the adults said that we should let him die instead of live. Kill him!"
Those men immediately drew their swords and rushed towards Li Diudiu. Li Diudiu pushed Song Feng back and drew out his long and short swords to meet the enemy.
The owner of the snack shop just came out with some food, and when he saw the fight breaking out again, he screamed, dropped the food basket and ran away. This scene seemed familiar.
The people who came this time all had very good martial arts skills. Li Diudiu fought against several people alone and gradually lost the upper hand, especially the young man whose swordsmanship was extremely fierce and sophisticated. His martial arts skills were much more powerful than the one-eyed man before.
This man was originally a professional killer, who did things for money. He would kill anyone as long as they were paid. He knew Yao Wuhen, and they both had the same master. It seemed that they both did things for money, but in fact, he was much more brutal than Yao Wuhen.
When he wants to kill someone, he will do it even if he has no money. He will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't kill anyone for a few days.
Moreover, he has completely surrendered to Lian Gongming, unlike Yao Wuhen who does not want to be bound by anything. This young man is called Guan Du.
His sword is ten times more ferocious than the one-eyed man's.
Li Diudiu was forced to retreat again and again. He had already retreated to the door of the snack shop. He thought of using the door as a shield as he did last time to reduce the number of people facing the enemy head-on. But just as he retreated, two men in black rushed out from the left and right of the room, stabbing Li Diudiu's lower back with two knives.
Song Feng's eyes, who were not far away, suddenly widened. Li Diudiu was walking backwards and didn't notice it, but he noticed it. At that moment, Song Feng rushed over without any hesitation, knocked one of them away with his shoulder, but was too slow when he wanted to draw his knife, and the other man turned the knife and stabbed Song Feng in the lower abdomen.
His martial arts skills are indeed very ordinary.
Hearing the wailing, Li Diudiu turned around and saw Song Feng still hugging a killer tightly, with the knife stuck in Song Feng's stomach.
Li Diudiu's eyes suddenly widened, and he chopped off the killer's head with a knife. He pulled Song Feng back, and another killer swung his knife over. Li Diudiu's knife arrived first and cut open the killer's throat with one knife.
Song Feng covered his stomach with both hands, looked down and said to himself: "I'm really not very good at fighting... In the past, Heita was always standing in front of me, and I just bluffed to show how powerful I was... I'm really not that good."
Li Diudiu's eyes turned red: "I will take you away."
Guan Du came over with a knife in hand: "Do you still want to leave?"
At this time, the cavalry in the distance also rushed over. The leader saw Li Diudiu, Guan Du and others fighting and shouted, "Stop!"
Guan Du turned around and his expression changed immediately. He ran back humbly and said, "Master Yan, what happened?"
The middle-aged man called Lord Yan said, "Lord Fuzhi has issued an urgent order that when Li Chi is found, he must not be harmed and must be brought back to Jizhou in one piece. There is an important person who wants to see Li Chi."
Guan Du didn't dare to question it at all, and nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll do it right away."
He went back to Li Diudiu, leaned over to look at Li Diudiu, who was squatting there holding Song Feng, and said, "You're lucky. Now the governor has asked you to go back alive and won't fight anymore."
Li Diudiu's hand slowly left Song Feng's face, and there was no breath left in his nostrils.
At that moment, the young man looked towards Guan Du with bloodshot eyes.
"You said you don't want to fight anymore?"
He slowly stood up and raised his hands, which were covered with Song Feng's blood. He used the blood to scratch his face diagonally.
"How can we not fight?"
Hold the knife.
forward.
