Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 46 A Hero Must Look Like a Hero
Lame Wang was the first deceased who did not live alone.

When Xu Chong arrived with Zhao Liu, there was already a small bare dirt bag piled up outside Wang Liezi's house.

In the mouth of Wang Laizi half a year ago, the old sister-in-law who was "sick" knelt alone in front of the earth bag. After seeing Xu Chong, she showed a faint smile and said hoarsely: "It is Mr. Xu who is here."

"Old sister-in-law, brother Wang... I remember he is very strong?"

Xu Chong hesitated to speak.

Wang Liezi's leg disease was caused when he was young, and it has passed the period that would damage his body. With the help of his original body in the past two years, his body has been restored long ago. It should be far from his turn... There are still so many sick and disabled.

"Tough? It turns out that those who died were all weak people..."

I don't know whether it was Wang Liezi's death that made the old sister-in-law look away or what, but she caught the key point of Xu Chong's words at once.

It's just that just after she said a word, her back suddenly straightened, and she recovered after a while, and continued to speak.

"About ten days ago, Old Wang said he was going to catch two fish in the river, but he missed the fish and caught a cold."

"The family doesn't have any extra money to find a doctor, and he doesn't want to bother you any more, so he just insists on it."

"Until last night..."

"Huh...Last night, the doors and windows were locked, and there was no outsider in the house. Old Wang suddenly curled up into a ball."

"I guessed that it was that thing that came to claim his life, and wanted to go out to find you, my lord, but Old Wang..."

"He was so painful that he couldn't even cry out, but he just held me and let me watch..."

"Then, right under my nose, a red light came out from the top of his head, divided into four parts and disappeared, and Old Wang just shriveled up bit by bit."

"It probably took... three hours before I died completely."

Red light, divided into four.

Xu Chong thought of something.

"Originally, I was still angry in my heart. The old ghost will die as soon as he dies. Why do you want me to watch from the side? Tormenting me for nothing?"

"I didn't understand it until I saw the adults just now."

"... He should think that this is useful for adults."

The old sister-in-law glanced at Xu Chong, there was no fear or sadness in her eyes, but a sense of relief.

Zhao Liu turned his head away abruptly, gritting his teeth desperately to prevent the thing in his eye socket from falling off.

Xu Chong was silent for a moment, turned his head and left without saying anything.

The pace is fast and urgent.

After walking a long way, Zhao Liucai followed.

"How much silver did you leave?"

Xu Chong walked and asked a question.

"Your Excellency, you can see... If you don't have much left, you can set up a monument and burn some paper money."

Zhao Liu's tone was a bit heavy.

"It doesn't work."

Xu Chong shook his head.

"Uh?"

Zhao Liu was stunned.

"She forcibly held back her cough several times, and it was unbearable. In addition to that voice... there is no way to recover."

Xu Chong calmly explained.

Zhao Liu's face froze suddenly.

That's right... The old sister-in-law tensed her back several times, she didn't notice it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, isn't she just trying to hold back a cough.

And that voice, I thought it was crying hoarse...

Just when Zhao Liu was in a daze, a panicked voice came.

"My lord, my lord!"

A yamen servant ran out of breath and started shouting from a distance.

Xu Chong's heart sank.

If he remembered correctly, this yamen servant had a good relationship with Li Quan'an's family. After Lao Li was paralyzed, he even volunteered to patrol the area to take care of him.

really.

Before he could get close, the yamen servant shouted out.

"My lord, Lao Li, he, he is dying!"

……

……

Lao Li leaned against the wall, his forehead was bulging with veins, and his face was full of sweat from the pain.

A ray of red light came out from his Baihui acupoint, divided into four evenly, and disappeared after a few feet.

"You...you don't bear the pain... okay... okay?"

The woman lay down beside the bed, her voice was trembling beyond measure, "We are all a family... Even if you cry, our mother and son can still... still laugh at you?"

"cry?"

Lao Li pouted at the child next to him, and managed to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth: "Tell your mother, who am I?"

"Daddy is a hero who fights rebels!"

The childish child shouted without hesitation, quite imposing.

"That's right... Daddy is a hero who fights rebels."

After getting the words of the baby, Lao Li's pain seemed to ease a lot, and he spoke a lot more quickly, "A hero must look like a hero, right?"

"A hero must look like a hero?"

Zhitong repeated it, and his eyes lit up.

He was only two years old, and he didn't quite understand this sentence, but he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

Lao Li smiled, and said to his wife: "Do you remember what I told you the day before yesterday?"

"Remember...remember..."

The woman didn't hold back any more, tears came out of her eyes, "I listen to you, take the baby to remarry, raise the baby, let him repay Master Xu..."

Hearing this sentence, Lao Li closed his eyes and said nothing, and used all his mind to fight against the pain.

dong dong.

Xu Chong had been here for a while, and had been waiting outside the door until he reached out and knocked on the door frame twice.

The woman saw who was coming, and quickly got up from the ground, "Master Xu is here...you...you talk."

After finishing speaking, the woman bent down to pick up the child and walked out of the house.

Childish eyes fell on Xu Chong, full of curiosity.

Mr. Xu... is that the biggest hero that daddy talked about?
squeak-

The door was closed by the woman.

Xu Chong stopped procrastinating, stepped forward, and put his hand on Lao Li's wrist.

Zhengyang jin spews out, and pours in slowly from the Yanggu point.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After ten breaths, Lao Li's painful expression finally eased, and he opened his eyes, "Sir, is this the power of martial arts?"

"You remember?"

Xu Chong asked.

"Well, I remembered."

Lao Li moved his eyes upwards, barely able to see a branch of red light, "When this thing selected me, I remembered it."

Including martial arts, including the battle at the city gate, including the name Liu Xiaoqing, and that folk song.

"I……"

Xu Chong opened his mouth, "I can't save you."

Under his strenuous walk, Lao Li was no longer in so much pain, but the life-threatening red light above his head did not waver at all from the beginning to the end.

"No need, my lord."

Lao Li twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's enough to live for so long, and with adults around, I have nothing to let go."

"If you want, I can give you a happy one."

Xu Chong said this with a blank face.

"Don't!"

Lao Li pretended to be frightened, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Last time I was kidding, how could I really dare to die, I can live a little longer..."

"You're not good at lying."

Xu Chong looked at Lao Li quietly, "You can see that it is the handwriting of Xue Yiwei, right?"

"... Hehe, you are still smart."

Lao Li smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "This thing will kill me as a cripple, so just give it to me. It's going to die anyway, and it's not worth the risk for an adult."

Xu Chong was silent.

Because he couldn't be sure whether ending Lao Li's life in advance would affect Fu Yuanlong's arrangement.

"you……"

"Good to go."

After mourning face to face, Xu Chong pushed the door and walked out.

Outside the door, the woman was still wiping her tears, and the child didn't say a word, obviously aware of something.

Xu Chong squatted down in front of the child, "What's your name?"

"Li Xiangxue."

A childish answer in a childish voice.

"How about uncle taking you to play marbles?"

Xu Chong stretched out his right hand, and there was a transparent bead in the palm.

Zhitong looked up at his mother, then smiled and took Xu Chong's hand.

"it is good."
