"Brother Chen." Song Fei walked up to Li Xinchen in the dark cave, "Brother Chen, the outside of the cave is blocked. The young general and his men are guarding the entrance of the cave. Listen.
There's a lot of noise outside, it seems like those damn bandits and barbarians are looking for us."
Li Xingchen nodded, these bandits and the Northern Zhou army would definitely not let them go. I don't know how long the entrance of this cave can be hidden, and there is not much time left for them.
Song Fei used the faint light of the torches on the wall to look deeper into the cave: "Brother Chen, do we really want to keep going forward?"
Taking a deep breath, Li Xingchen looked at Song Fei: "Do we have any other choice now? It's better to move forward than sit back and wait for death."
Seinfeld didn't say much, but subconsciously stood on tiptoe. The dark cave was bottomless, and no one knew what was in the deeper parts. The entire cave was like a monster with its bloody mouth open, ready to walk into it at any time.
people swallowed it.
But as Li Xingchen said, even if this darkness is a monster that eats people without spitting out bones, do they have any other choice now?
Without looking at Sein Fei more, Li Xingchen used the light of the torch to open the small box that Li Cheng left before his death. The small box was very light, and as Li Cheng said, there was a sachet and a little money inside. It can be said that this
It is all the property left by Li Cheng after his death, and the sachet, which may be the only one that can show Li Xinchen's identity, is obviously as important in Li Cheng's eyes as his meager savings. Although Li Cheng has never really wanted to let Li Xinchen get involved again in Mangmang.
In the world of mortals, it was obvious that he did not intend to completely hide all the clues.
Li Xingchen picked up the sachet and weighed it. This was definitely not an ordinary sachet. Although after so many years, only a little of the spices inside had been left and the fragrance had disappeared, the complex patterns on the outside of the sachet were still invisible.
It shows that the workmanship of this sachet is complicated. At least in the land of Huaishang, there will not be such a well-made sachet. Those who can use such a thing must be rich or noble.
Thinking back to the fact that he was discovered in a fleeing team that was attacked, Li Xingchen also knew that his past life might not be that simple. It is no wonder that Li Cheng has not wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, and first wanted to find the sachet.
The origin of Li Xinchen is indeed more difficult than climbing to heaven in these troubled times. Secondly, even if it is really found, how to prove Li Xinchen's identity, and will Li Xinchen be involved in a more complicated and deadly family dispute?
Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Cheng to conceal this matter.
Li Xingchen believed that his father's feelings for him were a kind of emotion that he had poured his heart and soul into. It was not a blood relationship, but better than a blood relationship. Li Cheng might have something to hide about Li Xingchen, but he would never deceive.
He slightly raised his head and looked at the spear placed next to him. It was still stained with blood. It belonged to bandits and Northern Zhou soldiers, as well as to Li Cheng and Zheng Qing. However, the tip of the spear was spotless. On the tip of the spear,
The word "Ziyun" was vaguely visible, and the sharp gun blade still flashed with a cold light, as if he was ready to continue to protect his master.
In an instant, Li Xingchen thought of Li Cheng who handed him a gun in the secret room yesterday, of Li Cheng who stood at the entrance of the village to greet him, of Li Cheng who looked at him with concern in the ancestral hall...
Li Cheng, who woke up and decided to fry the few eggs at home because Li Xinchen was in bed.
After Li Cheng gave the spear head that Chen Qingzhi had used to Li Xingchen, he found a spear head at random. In the battle just now, the spear head was worn out - after all, it was not made of good materials.
It was good to be able to sustain it for so long - when he saw the blood-stained spear, Li Xingchen suddenly understood why Li Cheng didn't keep Chen Qingzhi's spear.
For Li Cheng, no matter what kind of spear it is, as long as he is willing, it can kill people. This old man with martial arts skills beyond Li Xingchen's imagination is like Dugu Qiufei in martial arts novels. He doesn't care what kind of spear he has in his hands.
arms.
It's a pity that Dugu Qiufei is just a legend, and Li Cheng actually exists. He is old after all, and he is the only one left...
He handed Chen Qingzhi's spear tip to Li Xinchen, which actually gave him the responsibility that he had shouldered for fifty years to Li Xinchen. Now in the entire village, Mr. Song and Mr. Zheng are in poor health, so Li Cheng had better
The only choice was Li Xingchen, and only in this way could he give it a try.
But now Li Xingchen has reinstalled the gun head on the barrel of the spear that Li Cheng once used. At this moment, holding the spear in his hand, he can feel not only the heavy responsibility, but also the fact that Li Cheng did not say it in the end, but Li Xingchen did.
A wish that can be truly felt.
It was as if the soul of this old soldier in the white robes was attached to the barrel of the gun, and he continued to follow his general and bravely ascend first.
"This man has passed away, dear brother, please express my condolences." Xiao Shilian walked over slowly, his brows furrowed, obviously something was urgent.
Li Xingchen hurriedly put away the kit and raised his head to meet Xiao Shilian's gaze: "Brother Xiao, if you have anything to do, just ask me. I'll be fine."
Xiao Shilian nodded. Along the way, he thought that he had learned a lot about Li Xinchen's character and personality, so he believed that Li Xinchen would be able to handle the relationship between his personal emotions and the life and death of two hundred people. Therefore, he spoke carefully at the moment:
"Do we need to explore further?"
Li Xingchen followed Xiao Shilian's gaze and looked into the deep cave: "That's what I meant."
————————————-
"Xinchen, have you decided?" Mr. Zheng looked at Li Xinchen who was holding a spear and a torch, and said in a deep voice.
Li Xingchen nodded: "Well, our cave must be discovered sooner or later. In order to find us, the bandits and barbarians outside will scrape the ground three feet to find us. Even if they really can't find us, they will destroy the mountain."
If there is a blockade, so many of us will not be able to last long without food or water, so we might as well take this opportunity to see if there is a way out."
Mr. Zheng sighed softly: "Brother Li had already predicted it before he left. You will never be able to stay here peacefully in this life. And what you said makes sense. We can't just sit here and wait for death.
Go ahead."
Li Xingchen hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Seinfei, Li Qiu!"
"Brother Chen!" They both stood up at the same time.
"Pack your things and follow me." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Xiao Shilian also walked over quickly at this time: "I will follow you with two old soldiers, and the rest will stay here. Don't worry, as long as they are not dead, no one can harm the people here."
!”
Li Xingchen turned to look at Mr. Zheng and Mr. Song: "Two uncles, I'd like to ask you a favor from the villagers. It's best for everyone to follow us and go deeper into the cave. At least even if the entrance to the cave is discovered, we can still get a little more.
Time. In addition, no matter what is found down there, we will immediately send someone up to report it."
