Chapter 179 (1/2)
There was a faint sound of water tinkling in his ear. The little donkey followed the sound. Suddenly, his eyes were open. There was a stream winding through the mountains and forests, with jagged rocks in the stream.
Look around, it's desolate. Don't say you can't see a family, even people are rare.
The little donkey came to the stream and drank. Maybe it was drinking that made him thirsty and full of belly. Then he raised his head and shouted proudly.
A few donkey barks are particularly clear in the quiet mountains.
”Hey, your boy, why do I catch fish here and you muddy the water on it?”
Suddenly a rough voice came and looked at it without trace. At the lower reaches of the stream, a man stood barefoot in the stream, fearing the cold. He had a fish basket behind him and a steel fork in his hand. He was looking up at himself.
Although it was more than ten feet away, he recognized it at a glance. This man was the mountain man who called himself back to his house that night.
The man may be against the light, so he saw a man and a donkey in front of him, but he didn't recognize no trace. Traceless rode a little donkey and staggered over. The man took a steel fork and squinted his eyes to see it carefully.
”Shaoxia, why are you here“
A few feet closer, the man recognized that the man on the donkey's back was traceless and shouted with surprise and joy.
Wuji got off the donkey's back, walked forward and said with a smile, ”Uncle fishing, why not go to the river? The fish in the river are not much more and fatter than those in the stream“ The man said, ”there are fish in the river and in the stream. How many fishermen are eyeing the fish in the river, but I am the only one catching the fish in the stream. When I want to eat, I'll catch some. Besides, my home is here. Why should I stay close and go far“ Wuji smelled his words and felt that what he said was reasonable. The man said, ”people in the world like to drift with the tide. Don't you know that sometimes they can get unexpected gains in another way“ After hearing this sentence, Wuji thought to himself, ”this sentence seems to have another meaning. Is it what he is implying“ When he remembered that night when he went to his house, the man knew the Jianghu people and Wulin sects in Guiyang city very well. However, he was very surprised. At this time, he seems to be a pun. It seems that the man is not as simple and honest as his appearance, but a man of great scheming.
”You must have something in mind, young Xia. You want to stay away from the noisy place and come to this secluded mountain. I think you're worried, young Xia. If you don't get the legendary remnant picture, I'm afraid you'll die soon“ They each found a bare stone and sat down. The man asked.
It was no surprise that Wuji asked him so. This man is far from as simple as he looks. Looking at him as a wild village man, he seems to be very concerned about and understand the Jianghu affairs in Guiyang city.
He looked at the man, shook his head slowly and said, ”if I say I'm not afraid of death, uncle won't believe it. Because I really need to find the remnant map to have the hope of continuing to live“ The man also looked at him for a long time, suddenly sighed and said, ”the legend of remnant pictures has a long history. There have long been rumors in Guiyang city that the blood Linglong remnant map was hidden in Guiyang city. Over the years, many Jianghu sects have come to investigate openly and secretly, and have never found anything. This matter was also settled and gradually forgotten by the world. Over the past few months, for some reason, there has been another storm in Guiyang city. The major sects have fought openly and secretly. They have a posture of not giving up until they get the remnant map. I think it was someone who found the exact news that attracted so many Jianghu people and Wulin sect experts“ After hearing this, he suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart. He said, ”all this is because of me. If I hadn't been involved in the grievances between Cuiliu villa and the Changjiang gang in Guiyang, perhaps the secret would never have been buried in the sea, and so many people would not have died in Guiyang“ The man said, ”how can I blame you, young Xia? You can only blame the world for being too greedy. How many people who practice martial arts don't want to dominate the world with their martial arts and no one can beat them“ Traceless said, ”no matter what, it's because of me. Why don't you make me blame myself? Sometimes I really want to live in Guiyang from the future, so there won't be so many people who die in vain. ” Young Xia, do you think that even if you don't come to Guiyang, it will be calm“ Traceless nodded slowly. He thought of Qi Deng, who was the initiator of the towering waves in Guiyang.
”The villager has always admired you for being a man, and the family is grateful to you for saving a little girl you never knew in sherrendu without any return. But, young Xia, I dare not forget the kindness of saving my daughter's life one day. The villager has nothing to repay. He wants to get well as soon as possible, young Xia. Then the villager family will be thankful“ Wuji heard the sincerity in the man's tone and said softly with a smile, ”life and death are destiny. You can't force it. If God doesn't let me die, nature will let me find the remnant map“ The man hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering, as if he were thinking about a very important thing. A moment later, he seemed to make a decision and said, ”young Xia, do you know that there is an old tramp in Guiyang city. Everyone calls him Zhen madman.”
”Zhen madman?”
Although he was surprised to see traceless, he nodded gently at the same time. The man said, ”do you know?”
”I met him once and had a drink with him.”
The man stared and said, ”young Xia, you must have invited him to drink? The old man wanders around the city of Guiyang. Everyone hates him. Who will buy him a drink? Young Xia, not only don't you dislike a tramp, but also buy him a drink. The villagers really admire him! ”
