The door of the wooden house opened and three people walked out.
The villagers quickly gathered together again, putting on a menacing look, glaring and pointing angrily at Lin Qi, who had changed into clean clothes, and seemed to be tempted to rush up and punch him twice.
"It's almost done! Don't go on endlessly." Lin Qi took a step forward, glanced around the crowd, and said angrily, "I just washed it once, and I don't want to wash it again!"
"How dare you..." The villagers were obviously irritated.
"enough!"
The old village chief angrily said, "What's going on? Have you forgotten how powerful his mother is?"
When the woman was mentioned, the villagers suddenly calmed down a bit.
"Do you know how many ferocious pirates this boy Lynch has hunted on the sea? Don't count them one by one. I have lost count! If this kid wants to get you, what do you do these two or three times?"
The villagers were a little skeptical, "Is he that powerful?" "How old is he?"
Not everyone reads newspapers.
No wonder he was so powerful... But those people who were thrown by Lynch suddenly realized in shame and anger. They thought of the fierce fighting power of the woman named Lily before she fell ill, and felt that Lynch was very skilled, which was reasonable.
The old village chief scolded: "Before Lily passed away, did you ever blame Lynch in the slightest? On the contrary, you are the one who caused the most trouble! You thought you were meddling in other people's family affairs..."
The villagers were dissatisfied and retorted: "This kid is such a bastard and refuses to repent, yet he can't even be beaten or scolded?"
"He has already died once!" the old man shouted.
The villagers became quiet and looked at each other...
The old village chief sighed: "How old was he when he left home? It is not easy for an eight-year-old child to survive in this vast sea full of pirates, let alone find medicine to cure diseases...
Who among you dares to say that you can have the courage to run into such a cruel sea for the sake of your family?" His eyes swept across the group of villagers in front of him, and wherever he went, everyone's eyes dodge.
"Lin Qi almost died at sea... He survived by luck, but he also lost a lot of memory!" The old village chief sighed, "I think maybe it was his dead mother's blessing that gave him another life...
Let him forget the heavy past that I don't want him to carry!" The old man said in a hoarse voice in the silence, "This child has allowed you to beat and scold him all the way, which can be regarded as acknowledging his fault... If you have vented your anger, you will all
Let’s break up!”
In a complicated atmosphere of silence, guilt, or regret... everyone glanced at Lin Qi and left silently.
"Let's go."
Lin Qi didn't pay attention to these people, holding Lily's legacy letter in his hand, he walked directly to the back mountain to the east.
…
After passing a wooden signpost at the foot of the mountain, Lynch and the others continued moving forward.
The setting sun sank lower, reflecting the outline of the mountains as red as blood.
…
In the distance, Lin Qi saw a small clearing surrounded by wild flowers.
Lily's grave.
The old village chief and Robin stopped a few steps behind, leaving Lynch to step forward alone.
Snap...
"B.I.B" broke off two plain white wild flowers and put them into Lynch's outstretched hand.
Lin Qi came to the tomb and looked at the stone tablet in front of him, which had Lily's name written on it and a photo of her laughing cheerfully, vaguely showing her healthy appearance before contracting the disease.
"Hello."
Lynch placed two flowers in front of the monument.
He sat down directly on the spot and shook the letter in his hand at the picture of the woman on the tombstone. "So, I'll open it and read it?"
A breeze blew at the foot of the mountain, shaking the petals.
"Just treat it as your consent, big sister." Lin Qi said in the breeze, casually opening the envelope, "Look, what was written for your precious son..."
When the letter paper is spread out, the first thing you see is a few mottled and dried tears of varying degrees of depth on the letter paper.
"..."
Lin Qi focused his eyes and looked at the first line of words.
"Mom is from the land of flowers."
Very good, this first sentence made me a little surprised... Lin Qi held the letter and when he heard that the woman was very powerful in fighting before she fell ill, he thought she was from Amazon Lily, the daughter country of Nine Snake Island.
Woolen cloth!
After all, the female warriors on Kuji Island are very fierce, and the country-protecting warriors who can board the Kuji Pirates' ship all possess armed domineering skills.
Women on Nine Snake Island are also named after flowers. For example, Sandasonia is named after the palace lantern lily; Marigold is named after the marigold; Margaret is named after the daisy; and some are named directly.
Platycodon; even Grandma Ze, whose real name is taken from the flame lily... With "B.I.B" as a portable memory bank, Lin Qi can find it by casually browsing through forums and other posts he has seen in his previous life.
The emperor of the daughter country also suffered from the so-called terminal illness called "lovesickness".
It just so happens that it corresponds to Lily's incurable disease...
Unexpectedly, the first sentence in this letter showed that Lily actually came from the Kingdom of Flowers in the West Sea...that is, in the Dressrosa chapter, Garp punched his conical head into deflation, and was beaten again by Garp.
The hometown of Lao Cai, who was happily singled out by Luffy after he punched the old green pepper man who popped out of his head, and kicked his grandfather's conical head to the side...
The Kingdom of Flowers...is it a place based on China? Lin Qi thought so and continued to read the legacy letter left by Lily.
"Actually, I didn't want to hide it from other people... It's just that they all came to ask! Although the ancient custom of naming flowers is not very popular in the Kingdom of Flowers, I am still very unhappy... So, huh
, just won’t tell them.”
Lin Qi was a little surprised when he read it. He did not expect that the letter written by the eldest sister named Lily to her son was written in this style.
Thinking of the scene of her dragging her sick body to write a letter...
In the first few paragraphs, her handwriting was steady and she was still talking about the trivial matters of life. But slowly, probably due to the deterioration of her condition, Lily no longer had the energy to write the words that she couldn't finish...
"Mom, let me tell you a story about the Kingdom of Flowers~"
"Once upon a time, a long time ago anyway, there was a princess named Lily in the Kingdom of Flowers - yes, the same name as your mother! Pretty good, right? Princess Lily was the treasure of the Kingdom of Flowers, but she wanted to find it
The national treasure of the Land of Flowers bravely headed to the endless sea. Well, the story is over!"
"My mother has admired this princess with the same name as her since she was a child, so she stupidly sneaked out to sea... What a headache. I didn't expect you, Lin Qi, to run away too. Mom should have stayed in the Kingdom of Flowers.
of!"
"But if you don't come out, there won't be you Lin Qi. So this is pretty good. Hmm..."
Lin Qi's eyes passed by the mottled tears that slightly blurred the handwriting. The further back, the more vain and weak Lily's handwriting looked...
"Although Mom didn't find the national treasure of the Flower Country, with you! It was a worthwhile trip!..."
Lily's handwriting is getting more and more messy, and in some places, the preface and follow-up are even more inconsistent, and she is hurriedly writing down what she wants to say, as if she knows she doesn't have much time and her thoughts are not clear.
"What your mother taught you is the secret eight punches of the Kingdom of Flowers... This is a very powerful boxing technique. If you really master it, Lin Qi, you will definitely become a great person. When the time comes, you must protect your mother...
"
"Ah, there won't be that time anymore... What a pity!"
"I'm so sorry, Lin Qi. If I had known earlier, I would have taken you to visit the Kingdom of Flowers... I originally planned to wait until you grow up... I obviously have many other plans, but I haven't seen you yet.
I have grown up, but I haven’t seen you become a real man... Ah, it doesn’t matter if you are not a man, mom is not a man. Just be happy!..."
"If you can see this letter, you can go back and read it for your mother in the future, okay..."
"..."
The handwriting at the back became more and more messy and became a mess. The last stroke was slanted, and the letter ended abruptly at this point.
Lily's hand holding the pen suddenly loosened...Lin Qi seemed to be able to imagine such a scene.
"Lin Qi, is he okay..." Robin looked at Lynch sitting in front of the tombstone and reading a letter not far away.
"Alas!" The old village chief sighed softly, looking up at the sunset. "Huh?" He seemed to see a dark shadow passing by.
"What a pity!"
Lin Qi put down the letter, sat in front of the tomb, looked at the smiling woman in the photo on the monument, and laughed, "I'm quite interested in the Kingdom of Flowers. I will definitely go and see it if I have the opportunity in the future!"
"Hehehe, is that right..."
At this time, with these words floating above his head, a huge figure also slowly fell in front of Lin Qi.
Lafayette!
A lightning flashed in Lin Qi's mind. This voice and this figure made the original owner's lingering memory fragments, mixed with fear and shadow, flood into his mind.
"But I think it's more appropriate for you to be buried here."
The pale-faced "Devil Sheriff" Lafayette raised the corners of his blood-red lips, stretched his arms into a pair of pure white wings, and squatted on the top of the stone monument.
