Du Jie couldn't bear to help the old man up, and comforted him: "Old man, death is like a light going out. Please accept your condolences." Du Jie knew the pain of losing a loved one. When both his parents died, , did not move for almost seven days and seven nights, just staying in place. I don't know what I'm thinking, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't dare to move, I don't dare to think.
The old man cried for a long time. Although he finally stopped crying, he became dull and numb. Du Jie wanted to say a few words to comfort him. But the old man stared at the knife in the guard's hand and murmured: "I have no hope, just let me die." After that, he ran over to grab the knife.
The guard hurriedly stepped aside, but the old man missed him and fell to the ground with a plop.
Du Jie hurriedly came over and helped the old man up: "Old man, don't be like this. Your son's spirit in heaven certainly doesn't want you to be like this. Well, since your son is no longer in the military camp, you come back to Yashan with me, and I will find you one at Tianjimen. I'll take care of the errands, and I'll take care of them from now on."
I don't know if he thought of his grandfather, but Du Jie couldn't bear to leave the old man here by himself. After thinking about it, he said to him: "Old man, follow me back to Yashan. I will take care of you until you die."
The old man shook his head when he heard this: "I am an old man and can no longer burden the young master. You should just let me die. Young Master..."
Du Jie shook his head, sighed, and held him up with his hands. He turned around and said to Peng Xianzuo: "Uncle Peng, I have almost finished my work in the northwest camp. I will go back to Yongzhou for a few days and then return to the Central Plains."
"You want to leave too?" Peng Xianzuo didn't expect Du Jie to leave so soon, but knowing that he still had important matters to attend to, he could only nod and said: "Okay, take care of yourself along the way. When I see your grandpa later, I will take care of you." I say hello. Lao Qiu is so lucky that he went back with your grandfather. Ask him to leave a room for me, and I can join in the fun when I retire and return to my hometown."
When the two of them were saying this, the Imperial Master kept looking at the old man from the side, as if he didn't understand something.
As the sun just rose, Du Jie sent the imperial master away first, and then said goodbye to Peng Xianzuo in tears. Peng Xianzuo didn't ask anyone to give it as a gift, but just gave Du Jie and Du Jie a carriage. The old man had just stopped crying when he saw that Du Jie wanted to drive a horse for him, but he was unwilling to do so. He hurried to the front and insisted on letting Du Jie sit in the carriage.
Seeing that Du Jie couldn't resist him, he could only agree. The two of them said goodbye to everyone and walked to Yongzhou along the way they came.
On the road, the old man kept sighing, lamenting the uncertainty of fate, the unfairness of the world, and his son's premature death. In the end, he started to scold the foreigners again, saying that if they hadn't taken the opportunity to invade, how could there be a war in the northwest? If there hadn't been a war, he might have become a grandfather by now.
Finally, the old man said that he was thirsty, so he picked up the water bag and gave himself a drink of water. He then said to Du Jie: "Sir, when people get old, they like to nag. Don't bother me, sir. Please drink some water, sir. Hey, sir. , the place in front of us is where we met, are you hungry, sir? I’ll check in front to see if there’s anything to eat.”
Du Jie opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look. The carriage moved much faster than the ox cart. It took only half a day to reach here again. Du Jie nodded, and just when he was about to say something, he heard a cry for help coming from the distance.
"Help...help!"
A woman's voice came, her voice urgent, even hoarse. Du Jie closed his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw a woman running towards him in three steps and two steps at a time, looking back as she ran, as if she was being chased by someone.
The old man stopped the car in a hurry. He looked at Du Jie, as if he wanted to ask Du Jie whether he should care or not. The woman ran for a while, and finally an old man wearing colorful clothes appeared behind him. This old man was a few years younger than the old man. He was not worried about the woman's shouts and happily chased after her.
The old man seemed to have been frightened by someone last time and hurriedly hid behind Du Jie when he saw this. Du Jie blocked the old man behind him and watched all this with a frown. After a while, the woman's outline could be seen clearly. When the old man saw the woman's appearance, he exclaimed: "Tui'er!"
The old man didn't speak to Du Jie, jumped down from the carriage and ran towards the woman. When Du Jie saw the old man running over, he was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he followed him.
The woman was looking behind her in horror when she suddenly heard someone calling her name in front of her. Then she looked up and saw the old man running towards her. She shouted with joy.
"Dad, is this you? Daddy, please help me."
Listening to this, the woman turned out to be the old man's daughter.
The old man behind him saw two people suddenly appeared in front of him, and his cheerful expression changed obviously. He raised his eyes and looked at the old man and Du Jie, then sneered and stretched out his hand to shoot two darts. When the old man saw the dart, he didn't know if he was frightened. He didn't hide at all and subconsciously held his head.
When Du Jie saw two darts being shot at him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. He didn't say anything when they met, but he was about to kill someone. The person behind him was definitely not a kind person. With luck with his left hand, he hit two flying rainbows and knocked down the darts. Then he jumped in front of the woman, hiding her and the old man behind him.
The old man wearing colorful clothes in front of him had a few locks of hair combed on his head. His eyes were as big as peas and had a lustful light. He had yellow teeth, a flat nose, and small ears. His facial features are poor, and his figure is even worse. Du Jie looked at him and saw that this man was no more than four feet tall and as short as a winter melon.
When the old man saw that the dart failed, he was a little surprised and looked at Du Jie from the corner of his eyes.
"Boy, I advise you to mind your own business. Get out of here while I'm happy."
Du Jie suppressed his anger and asked him: "Which sect are you from? You are committing an offense here."
The old man glanced at Du Jie with Huang Douli's eyes, and then walked forward while saying: "Which sect am I from? The old man is..." As he spoke, he suddenly spit out a hidden weapon from the end. At this time, Du Jie was only five feet away from him. The hidden weapon can reach this distance in an instant. When the old man behind him saw this situation, he was so scared that he closed his eyes.
Then I heard a painful scream coming from my ears. The old man thought to himself, it's over, my benefactor will have to explain this time.
When he opened his eyes, Du Jie was standing still, but the old man opposite him fell three feet away.
Du Jie didn't know what tricks to use. Not only did he defuse the man's plot, but he also knocked him down.
At this time, Du Jie sneered: "If I say one more word to a person like you, my mouth will be dirty. Since you met me today, don't leave."
After speaking, Du Jie placed his right hand on the Dantian, then turned his palm into a claw, and lifted the true energy in the Dantian upwards with the gesture, and then the true energy soared from the Baihui point to the sky.
Du Jie shouted "Lightning method!"
Then a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky above the old man's head. The lightning was as thin as a bowl and struck with one strike. The old man didn't even react before he was struck by lightning and died straight on the ground.
When the woman saw it, she seemed to be frightened and stepped back. The old man ran to the woman and held her in his arms. The two held each other's arms and cried.
The woman cried and said, "Dad, you scared me to death. You scared me to death. I thought I would never see you again."
The old man wiped his daughter's tears: "Didn't I ask you to wait in Yongzhou City? Why did you come out on your own?"
The woman said aggrievedly: "I have no money, and I have nowhere to go. I was kicked out. There are many gangsters in the city, and I am afraid of being bullied. I am also afraid that something will happen to you on the road. I want to go to the Northwest Camp to find you and your family." Brother went, but not long after leaving Yongzhou City, he was targeted by this man. This man insisted on letting me be his concubine, and I refused, but he still refused to let me go. I ran all the way here, If I hadn't met dad, I would..."
The old man shook his head, pulled his daughter up and brought her to Du Jie: "Daughter, kowtow to your benefactor. Your father was saved by your benefactor last time, and you are also saved by your benefactor this time. My benefactor is so kind." Virtue, the old man will repay you by working as an ox or a horse in his next life." After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The woman was a little scared and shy when she saw Du Jie. Seeing that his own father kowtows, he kowtows three times too.
Du Jie hurried over to help, helped the old man up, and said to him: "Don't be like this, old man, get up quickly. The world is under the control of everyone. Since I encountered it today, I will definitely not ignore it. What's more, we are walking together all the way."
When Du Jie was talking, the woman secretly glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. After looking at Du Jie, she hurriedly lowered her head. Du Jie had just been busy rescuing people, and didn't look at the woman carefully. Looking at it now, I am a little stunned.
The woman may have fallen a few times when she was being chased, and there was some dust on her face, but it still couldn't stop her eyes from speaking. Du Jie froze on the spot. He felt like he had seen this woman somewhere, but after thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't remember it.
When the old man saw Du Jie looking at his daughter, he thought he had fallen in love with her. He said with a smile: "Master... Master, do you remember what I told you last night?"
Du Jie waited for the old man to call him twice before he responded. His face suddenly turned red. Hearing the old man mention last night again, he waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing Du Jie's reaction, the old man had a smile on his face. I don’t know why Du Jie reacted this way.
At this time, the old man's face became a little uneasy: "Young Master just dislikes my little girl. Although my daughter is from a small family, she is innocent and has no appearance. The Young Master keeps trying to avoid me because he doesn't like me." This poor family."
Du Jie heard that the old man was a little angry, and hurriedly explained: "Old man, that's not what I meant. I said it yesterday, marriage is a big deal, it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. My grandfather is not around now, how can I make the decision on my own? . And now that I have an imperial mandate, I have no intention of getting married. Don’t blame me wrongly, old man." Du Jie said sincerely.
