"It was designed by you. There were many things that I wanted to put into the coffin, but even the coffin was taken away by you."
The old man covered his eyes and quietly let the tears flow between his fingers.
"I don't care about that thing. I see how pitiful you are. If you still want it, you might as well take it back." Li Mo spread his hands, "It's just that, old man, if you can, you can rely on me more. I hope so, and this is also me." Responsibility."
"Come on, the old man doesn't need your sympathy." The old man muttered impatiently, "I just drank too much wine tonight and talked too much. Don't be too sentimental."
"Didn't I pour the wine away?"
"Haha, are you chasing me so hard?" The old man smiled helplessly, "This land is like my flesh and blood. My body has been integrated into it for a long time. If you pour wine on this land, just follow it. It makes no difference if it enters my blood. I know that in your eyes, I locked myself here, but in fact, I can't escape from here, and you can't help me."
"Aren't you afraid that the fourth regret will appear?"
Li Mo didn't say what it was, but he thought the old man could understand.
"Daughter? Hahaha, old man, I told you that there are only three regrets in life, soldiers, wives and brothers." The old man patted his forehead and smiled calmly, "I will take care of you as a soldier, General Limo." I'll put it down more or less, old man, and I'll wait until the old man comes to Jiuquan in person to apologize to her in person about my wife. The only thing the old man wants to do now is to protect this land until the last moment on behalf of his brother."
"Do you really not regard her as a family member? Just because she married a scumbag regardless of your objection? She is obviously the one who is hurt the most. She used to have that kind of character, but now she is submissive and can't see it at all. Not a shadow of its former self.”
"That's right, I said it from the beginning, I don't regard her as my daughter."
There was an indescribable feeling in Li Mo's heart. Faced with the old man's attitude, he didn't know whether to sigh and lead him away or to become angry.
"And you don't understand how important this land is to me." The old man said suddenly.
"I really don't understand, but you can try to tell me." Li Mo replied.
"People cannot use words to convey things that others have not felt." The old man said.
Maybe he was right, Li Mo felt so.
There are so many things about this old man that I don’t understand. From the beginning, I just thought that he was a stubborn old man who refused to go home. Now I know that this old man is carrying all kinds of regrets. But even so, I still can’t see the old man clearly. full picture.
People really can't use words to convey things that others have not felt. There are some things that perhaps only the father and daughter can understand.
There is no longer anything he can do to interfere with this old man, and everything he can do has been done.
It's a pity, but...
"The demon king's castle bell is ringing."
Li Mo, who had been quietly gazing at the starry sky, suddenly murmured softly that the hourly bell was ringing two minutes late, and it suddenly sounded in his ears, which made him miss it very much.
After being away from home for so many days, that person would be very impatient. I'm really sorry to leave her to someone else to take care of her.
"I will go back tomorrow. Don't worry, I will take your daughter back with me even if I knock her out."
"It should have been so long ago." The old man's laughter sounded again, but gradually faded away, "Boy, you know, I really don't want you to waste your time on people like me. You should sit down now Chat with the person you really value by your side, instead of sitting here in the wilderness with someone like me."
"I also want to tell you these words, but the days are long, and some ideas will surely change slowly."
There may be conflicts between the father and daughter, but they are father and daughter after all. Li Mo feels that time will slowly dilute everything.
"Haha, but I may not have that much time, old man."
"What are you talking about, old man, are you... are you... are you, old man?!"
"I need to find a good ranger for me."
The old man smiled at him.
For the first time, Li Mo knew that this old man could smile so gently.
"I...I really still..."
Li Mo gritted his teeth, unable to speak clearly.
"Hahaha, silly boy, don't worry about it blindly. Although the old man understands in his heart, it is actually different. He traveled all over the world when he was young and his body is strong. He may still have many years to go. Do you want to stay with me all the time? "
"I hope it's like you said."
Li Mo could tell that these were words to comfort him.
"Stop talking about these depressing things, talk about other things. On the last day, you just have a good chat with me, an old man. By the way, you said you found someone to keep an eye on my daughter, but this forest is far from the nearby villages. It’s far away, and it’s not the time for supply carriers to come recently.”
It was rare for the old man to start a topic by himself, and he didn't have the courage not to continue it at the end of the day. If he became silent like when he first came, it would be as terrible as announcing death to him.
"My helpers are all over the world, and there are many hidden here now."
Li Mo forced a smile.
He gently spread his hand, and several small, firefly-like light particles shone from the nearby trees and fell on his hand.
"So that's it, is it a little elf? Only you know how to handle this little guy who lives and dies like a mayfly. No wonder it only took you three days to find me in this huge forest."
"It's not just a matter of life and death, they can live for three months." Li Mo said.
"What's the difference between that and life and death?" the old man asked.
Li Mo gently raised his hand and asked the little guys leaning on his palm to go home: "The difference is huge. Although these little guys generated by natural magic power only have a short life of three months, they may have some continuous... I have no consciousness, but the quality of life cannot be measured by length. Even if some lives only last for a moment, they are more brilliant than thousands of years. As long as they can shine, three months is long enough."
"Haha, it's like scolding the old man that I still look like a waste after living for hundreds of years." The old man laughed.
"Hey, old man, why are you making the topic too deep again!?" Li Mo complained.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, by the way, speaking of which, is it time for you to get married at your age? Do you have a wife? Where are the children?"
"I, I, I..."
"You've never even been in love, have you?!"
"It's none of my business!"
"Hahaha, right, right..."
...
The old man kept laughing and asking Li Mo about his affairs. They chatted endlessly like a pair of old friends who had resolved their feud. The old man seemed to want to make up for the regrets he had suffered for many years. Everything from the end.
But Li Mo felt uncomfortable in his heart.
The conversation seemed to have been in a trance. He answered the old man ramblingly, and some words even seemed to be manipulated.
He couldn't remember when he fell asleep, but it was already dawn when he opened his eyes.
He looked around for the old man in a panic. Fortunately, the old man was there, filling the burned out bonfire with sand. Green smoke was still stubbornly rising from the charcoal, but it was instantly annihilated by the thick sand. Just completely lost trace.
Boom——
The old man and Li Mo looked in the same direction almost at the same moment.
A discordant sound suddenly sounded in the sky in front of them.
...
