Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 373 Goodbye, Uncle Li
Originally, I thought he was coming for Lao Yan, but now it seems that he should be coming for me.

The puppeteer laughed a few times, the sound was like scraping cement with glass, and my heart was pulled when I heard it: "How do you know?"

Only I can understand this sentence. After this sentence, the puppet suddenly stopped moving, and all the little puppets surrounded me. As long as the puppet master gives an order, they will tear me into pieces.

The puppet master waved his hand, and the puppets protecting him moved away.

He took a few steps towards me, Lao Yan and the others were about to shoot but I stopped him by gritting my teeth: "Let him come over!"

However, the puppet master stopped after only a few steps closer. He lifted his hat with his hand and looked up at me: "Chang'an, look who I am?"

The voice was still hoarse, but the tone was familiar.

I stared at him for a while, and he made another movement of touching his head.

I was struck by lightning!
"You, how could it be you?" I struggled to form a sentence, only to feel that life played a big joke on me.

If it's him, then even if he kills me, I won't complain.

"Uncle Li, you...how are you?"

That's right, the person in front of me is Er Gouzi's father, and I am familiar with the movements he just made. Every time I went to his house to play, he would touch my head with his hand, which was at the height just now.

The puppet master's laughter was accompanied by tears: "I don't know, the person who killed Er Gouzi was actually you, it was you."

Why would I think that my impulsiveness actually killed a person?
bang...

I let go, and let the dagger fall to the ground: "Uncle Li, it is right to pay for a life, but I am dead, I hope you can let everyone go."

"Are you worthy of negotiating terms with me?" The puppet master suddenly shouted: "Chang'an, uncle, I am not bad to you, am I?"

I have nothing to say. I didn’t have many friends when I was a child. Ergouzi’s house was the one I ran the most. His parents were very kind to me. Ergouzi got a share of delicious food.

Seeing that I didn't answer, he suddenly said, "Do you want to know why I have turned into this dying look?"

I suddenly looked at him. There must be some reason I don’t know. Uncle Li is an out-and-out farmer. Even if he knew that I killed Ergou, he would at most use a kitchen knife to chop me up. How could he become a puppet? division?

The thought in my heart turned straight, this is definitely not normal!
"Uncle Li, is there someone, someone..." I couldn't keep asking.

The puppet master stared at me and said word by word: "That's right, someone told me that you killed Er Gouzi, I didn't believe it, but later we found something in Er Gouzi's room."

He took it out of his tattered pocket, and after a while, he took out a handful of jewelry necklaces, and then threw them at my feet: "Look carefully, is this your thing?"

I will know this thing until I die. Er Gouzi and I took it out of the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, we said we would find a chance to sell it to make a fortune, but we never had the chance again...

I never thought that this thing would appear in front of my eyes in this way at this time.

"That Western Zhou tomb... belongs to your family?" The puppet master spoke again, but I frowned when I heard it.

Even I don't know much about the identity of the tomb guard of the old Liu's family, let alone the people in the village. It seems that the main messenger behind him told him again.

I had nothing to hide, so I told everything I could about the events of that year.

The puppeteer smiled miserably: "My second dog likes to follow you, and we also think you are a good boy, so we let him go. You are good, one thought, one thought will kill his life, you are saved , Er Gouzi deserves to die?"

"Uncle Li, I..." I didn't know what to say, so I picked up the dagger from the ground and stabbed it in the chest.

He wants my life, and I should give it.

The imaginable pain did not come, and I opened my eyes wide in surprise, because a puppet was standing between the dagger and me.

The puppet master said dryly: "You don't want to die, you want to live."

"I……"

"Come here!" Just as I was about to say something, the puppet master waved at me.

I threw the dagger on the ground and was about to walk over.

"Chang'an, don't go." Lao Yan and the others shouted in unison.

I turned to look at them, their eyes were full of concern, I smiled at them: "This is a man's responsibility."

After I finished speaking, I no longer cared about them, but turned around and walked to the side of the puppet master.

His appearance has changed a lot. In my impression, he is just a 30-year-old farmer. At that time, because of years of hard work, his hands were very rough. When he touched my head, his face was also dark. , very hearty when he smiles.But now, these are all gone, and the shriveled cheeks can no longer find the shadow of the past.

"Uncle Li." I called out in a low voice.

He glanced at me complicatedly, said a few words softly, and then quickly waved his hands, and the puppets turned accordingly, as if they were going to attack me.

I looked at him in shock. Those few words just now were so surprising that I couldn't react at all.

"Hehe, since you killed Ergou, you should pay for his life!"

The puppet master yelled, and the puppets rushed towards me overwhelmingly. Lao Yan and the others roared and rushed towards me. I didn't stop me, because I knew that Uncle Li didn't want me to die.

Lao Yan's dagger passed through more than a dozen puppets and came to me. He was about to retract the dagger when the puppet master suddenly turned sideways and turned in front of the dagger.

It was too late for Lao Yan to close it, his dagger pierced the puppeteer's chest—killed him with one blow!

I saw all of this, but I didn't know what to do, I just stayed where I was, and by the time I realized it, everything had settled down.

The puppet master's body was lying at my feet, I slowly knelt down and lifted him up, only then did I feel his pain.

There was not much flesh on his body, and the pillow of a peasant fell lightly on my arm, without any weight at all.

The tears came one or two at first, and finally fell in clusters.

I killed their family, and even Uncle Li died at my hands.

"Chang, Chang'an, I, I don't know..." Lao Yan looked at me helplessly.

I shook my head. I can't blame him for this. Uncle Li didn't want to live. I knew he didn't want to live from the few words he said to me, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive.

Thinking of what he said to me, my heart tightened. He said that he never thought of taking revenge on me.

He never thought of seeking revenge on me!
Someone was forcing him, someone was taking his aunt's life to force him, he said he just wanted to see me, and reminded me to be careful, because someone was secretly murdering me.
