Seeing his frown, the old man smiled and said: "Little brother, my name is Lu Fuzi. You can call me Grandpa Lu, or you can call me Old Man Lu. In short, you can call me whatever you like. Now, what about you? What’s your name?”
When Shen Feng heard this, he realized what he was saying. He cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Lu, my surname is Shen and my first name is Feng. You can call me Xiao Shen. Well, it's just a name. It's not a big deal."
"Hahaha, yes, the title really has no effect. Just like when I was an official in the court, in this Ice Empire, I could be considered to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. But later These monarchs and ministers are incompetent. I just sighed, trimmed my hair, and lived in seclusion. I never thought that the current monarchs and ministers are even more stupid and want to use the power of black holes to open up a new world. To be honest, if it were me back then His temper has already knocked this Imperial Lord to his senses!" Rufuzi's face looked a little ugly, and when he said this, he also frowned.
After hearing what he said, Shen Feng couldn't help but feel curious, so he asked: "Mr. Lu, were you a prime minister who served as an official in the court before? Or..."
"You can be called a prime minister, but here we are all called national preceptors. Below the national preceptor is the mage, and below the mage is the current Lord Garuda. Alas, I am old now and no longer useful. Even if I regain my strength, It's just temporary, I don't have much time left. Do you know how far the Ice Empire has gone?" Rufuzi's face was a little calm, and it could be seen that he still cared about this matter. .
Hearing this, Shen Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know...because I just came here, so I don't know much about your country's affairs."
"Then let me tell you. Anyway, it's up to you to decide whether you can do it or not. The current emperor, the master of the entire Ice Empire, is named Kang Huitian. This person was entrusted with the task before his death. The Lord of the Empire was killed by someone. The Ice Empire has always been in office for less than a year and will basically be killed. But he is different. He has been in office for more than ten years and has not been framed yet. This is also the case for Han Bing. The well-being of the empire, but what I have to say is that this Kang Huitian's ambition is too ambitious! He even wants to unify the three realms..." Lu Fuzi shook his head and said with trembling hands.
As soon as Shen Feng saw it, he knew that he was ill, so he checked it out. Sure enough, at dusk, he couldn't say anything. With the sound of coughing, the little girl brought the tea and She poured a glass for her grandfather, then patted her back and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. These are all external matters and have nothing to do with you."
"How could it be irrelevant? If I hadn't strongly recommended Kang Huitian to take office, would he be where he is today? Huh?" At this moment, Lu Fuzi was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly took the handkerchief and said: "Oh, Grandpa, I know you are blaming yourself, but it has been so many years and you still haven't forgotten it. Besides, you are in the barrier now, isn't it? Are you living a good life? You have no worries about food and clothing. Do you still think about your previous status and the era when you were in power? "
"Oh, silly girl, if it weren't for me, how could this Ice Empire have such ambitions and trample on other dynasties other than the Ice Empire? It's all my fault, Mr. Ru..." He burst into tears, He sighed helplessly and said.
When Shen Feng saw this, he was moved by the scene and said consolingly: "Mr. Lu, I don't blame you, because as the saying goes, you can tell a person knows his face but not his heart. Since Kang Huitian can do so many wrong things, he must... He will have his retribution one day. Besides, hasn't he yet achieved his goal? Although the black hole is open, it does not mean that the Ice Empire has the opportunity to annex other dynasties. In short, it is not at the last moment. No one can draw a conclusion."
"What a person who can't make a conclusion until the last minute! Young man, since you can escape here today, it means that you and I, old and young, are destined to be together! I, Master Ru, was wise in my life and was defeated for a while. If I had been smarter, I would have I won't let Ling'er suffer with me. Now that you are here, I will entrust her to you. From now on, you must be right..." Before he could finish, Shen Feng waved his hand.
Seeing his obstruction, Master Lu said, "Why, you don't want to? Or is my Ling'er not good enough for you? Huh?"
Shen Feng kept shaking his head and said: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that when a man and a woman are together, don't they have to be in love with each other? Your granddaughter and I have only known each other for less than half an hour, so you just …”
"What are you talking about? I asked you to take care of her, but I didn't ask you to marry her and have children! Where did you think of it? Really, at such a young age, why are your thoughts so impure? Ah? What I mean is, my time There is not much left, and it will turn into ashes soon. As you can see, this vine is the destiny of my life. Alas, there is no way. It is like this when I get older." Rufuzi said with some discomfort.
While speaking, he did not forget to stroke his granddaughter's hair. It seemed that he loved his granddaughter very much.
After seeing it, Shen Feng realized that he was overthinking... He quickly smiled and said: "Haha, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to say that, but what on earth are those branches and vines on your body? ?Could it be said that this is a characteristic of your family? Does everyone have it when they reach this age? "
"Yes, have you heard of the tree people?" Rufuzi asked with a haggard expression.
When Shen Feng heard this, let alone the orcs, the tree people must have heard about it, so he said: "Well, I know a little bit about it. It is said that the great Moon God has always been a tree people. The idol that we yearn for is what every tree tribe wants to imitate, but I have never seen a real tree man. Could it be that you are..."
"Well, that's right! I am the thirty-eighth generation descendant of the tree people, Master Lu. You may not believe it, but there is something to prove it. Ling'er, please take out the thing and give it to Shen Feng. From now on, grandpa will be away. At that time, you can only be with Shen Feng, but don't be too sad, grandpa just went to meet the tribe, he didn't really leave you, understand?" Lu Fuzi said with some sadness.
When Shen Feng saw this situation, he didn't know how to comfort him. He just watched Ling'er's tears falling down, and he couldn't bear it, so he walked over and said: "Don't be so sad, you are old. Sickness and death are inevitable experiences. Mr. Lu, how do you feel about your body?"
Seeing what Shen Feng said, Master Lu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I don't know, but I feel more and more tired. Moreover, even walking is very difficult now. These vines have almost spread to the heart." The location is up, I guess it will be soon..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Feng could only stay away, not knowing how to treat him, because it could be seen from his eyes that the whole person's light was gone, and, from a medical point of view, Lu Fuzi's eyes were deep-set. He has basically reached the age where he is terminally ill. Even if he wants to save himself, there is nothing he can do...
Hearing this, Ling'er nodded and said: "Grandpa, it's time for you to rest. It's getting late. Mr. Shen Feng has been here for so long, and you didn't even tell him where he lives. Our house doesn't seem to be very big." Woolen cloth……"
"Where do I live? I'll just sleep with you. Haha, Xiao Shen, come over, old man, I'm tired too." After saying that, Ling'er was very surprised and was about to refute, but Master Lu said again: " Xiao Shen, come here, Ling'er, you go in first, I'll just lie down later."
"Oh... Then, alas, okay." Ling'er hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Shen Feng was also surprised. After all, it was definitely inappropriate for him to sleep with someone else when they met for the first time. Therefore, he said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Lu, you let me sleep with your granddaughter like this." Sleeping together ruins her reputation, doesn't it? I'd better sleep on the floor, it's very convenient, just..."
"Xiao Shen, I said just now that it may not last long. In fact, I feel that I can't survive tonight. However, the fact that you can come here suddenly is also a fate between you and me. You should put this thing away. It's The symbol of our Tree Tribe. Although the Tree Tribe is not very popular in the entire Three Realms, the Ice Empire still respects it very much. If you encounter something difficult, you can show this wooden sign. Hotels and taverns are also useful, and will be more convenient for you and Ling'er's future life." After Lu Fuzi finished speaking, he leaned on the bedside, feeling a little weak.
Seeing this, Shen Feng hurriedly walked over, felt for his pulse, and was about to give Lu Fuzi acupuncture to relieve the strangeness in his body, but he took Shen Feng's hand and said: "No, no, no... I know. You know medical skills, but there is no need to diagnose and treat a bad old man like me anymore. I know my body very well! As long as you take good care of Ling'er for me from now on, it can be considered as an end to my regret for the rest of my life."
"This..." Shen Feng hesitated, not knowing where to start.
After putting away the sign, Lu Fuzi said again: "Xiao Shen, I see that you have a very kind face. I know that you are a kind-hearted person. It is also an act of a saint to go to the Ice Empire for this purpose. If you are here You can't live in the Ice Empire anymore, so just leave here. To the north of the Demon Realm, there is a forest. There is a kingdom of tree people. The master of the palace is Ling'er's biological mother. When you get there, you can take her away. You can also keep her. As for why we didn’t return to the tribe, well, Ling’er will tell you the reason later.”
When the words came to this point, Shen Feng could only nod: "Yes, I understand! Mr. Lu, then you can rest, I will guard you next to you..."
"Oh, I told you to go and accompany Ling'er. This girl didn't like living alone in the house when she was a child. When I was in good health, I always slept next to her house. But I can't do that anymore. The girl has grown up. Now that she's older, you can go over and accompany her. I see that this girl hasn't slept well in the past few days. From now on, this responsibility will be left to you." Lu Fuzi patted Shen Feng on the shoulder and said.
