Chapter 174 Farewell Gift
Before dawn is the darkest time of the day, and then it will be bright, and gradually turn to light. Although I don’t know if this is the truth that things must go against each other, but it has always been this way.

As soon as Ling Tao opened the door, outside the dark door, he saw a pitch-black figure, as if blending into the night, standing quietly more than ten meters away from his door, and he couldn't tell them apart if he didn't pay attention.

Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, and the dangerous vigilance in his heart suddenly relaxed, and he turned into a wry smile, and said: "Why are you here? Although it is very hot in the daytime, the weather has turned cold. It is still a bit cold at this time. Yes, go back to sleep."

"Ignition", in the darkness, no one knows who said these two words, and then, the fire lights up, and the torches are lit one by one, illuminating the dark dawn.

Under the light of the fire, Ling Tao found that almost all the villagers in Zhoujia Village, including Zhou Taigong, had come, and they just stood quietly in the morning breeze and looked at him with reluctance in their eyes.

At such a scene, Ling Tao's heart warmed and he was extremely moved. He lowered his head subconsciously to prevent them from seeing the uncontrollable glimmer of water in his eyes. In this situation, a trace of reluctance to leave suddenly appeared in his heart. .

However, he quickly suppressed the reluctance in his heart. This place does not belong to him. He still has a lot of things to do. He turned his head up, looked at the villagers and said with a smile, "What are you doing? What are you doing in the middle of the night? Come here to sleep."

Headed by Taigong Zhou, he led the crowd forward, and he looked at Ling Tao with great emotion and said, "Brother Ling, I know that you don't belong to our Zhou Family Village. I knew it from the first day I saw you." I can't keep you here, you will definitely leave one day, but what I didn't expect is that this day has come, and it has come so early."

"Grandpa, I...", Ling Tao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Taigong Zhou waving his hand.

After he interrupted Ling Tao, he continued: "Don't talk, listen to me, this day has come, because of you, hundreds of people in our Zhoujia Village have survived until now, and they have the hope and courage to live, you We all remember our great kindness, but unfortunately, we can't help you, and we are very guilty of this."

"Grandfather, don't say that. During this time, I am very happy to be with everyone, and I am also very reluctant, but I still have things..." Ling Tao interrupted Zhou Taigong.

"Hehe, I know that you came here by accident, and leaving is inevitable. This is just a place where you stayed for a short time. I haven't read many books, but I can also tell that you are a capable person. People, you will definitely have a glorious day, this place is too small to keep you, there is a bigger stage waiting for you outside, it is not me and we want to keep you, because if we keep you, we can't let you It's our fault if you use it to your heart's content. The reason why I say this is to let you remember, Brother Ling, no matter what happens to you in the future or where you go, please don't forget this place, don't forget us, don't forget Fathers and folks here, no matter what you encounter in the future, please remember, here, you come anytime, we will welcome you with the most enthusiasm, no matter what happens to you in the future, please remember, here There are still so many people supporting you, we will always be your rear area," Taigong Zhou said while looking at Ling Tao.

His old voice, straightforward words, and the simple faces of the villagers made a warm current rise in Ling Tao's heart, making him feel warm all over.

"I will remember this place, I will always remember this place, and I will come back to see you when I have time in the future." Gritting his teeth, Ling Tao said with a smile, but his eyes were shining brightly.

The most simple touch is always the most heart-warming. The mountain, the water, the people here, and everything here are deeply imprinted in Ling Tao's heart at this moment.

"Hehe, people talk a lot when they are old. Don't be offended, Brother Ling. I won't say much in the future. Brother Ling, you are leaving, and we won't say anything that makes it difficult for you. Help me We have suffered so much, in the end, let us do our part and bring everything up." Taigong Zhou said as he looked at Ling Tao stroking his snow-white beard, but his old eyes were full of reluctance.

Two villagers came out, carried a box, and put it down in front of Ling Tao.

"this is……"?Ling Tao looked at Taigong Zhou in puzzlement and said, not understanding what he meant.

Zhou Taigong shook his head and said: "When I leave, I don't have anything to give to Brother Ling. The things inside are all the wishes of the villagers. Please don't refuse, don't refuse, it's not a good thing , We saw that your broadsword has a gap, how can you not have a good weapon when you are out and about, and your broadsword is already a little lighter for you, right? So, I made a new one for you Your broadsword is made of high-quality steel, but it is not the iron used in the broadsword in your hand. It is stronger, sharper, and of course, heavier, weighing forty catties. It is the one in your hand. I think, this sword is the most suitable for you."

After talking so much, Mr. Zhou paused and continued: "Secondly, Mr. Ling, your leather armor is already damaged, and because of the rush of time that day, your leather armor is a little rough. We have prepared a set for you. Better leather armor, a total of three layers of cowhide, with iron sheets added inside. Wearing it on the body will make you safer. Then, there are a hundred Mitsubishi arrows. I think you will definitely need it, Brother Ling , Finally, I sewed a package out of cowhide for you, which contains some dried meat, water and food, for Mr. Ling to eat on the road, and there is only so much we can prepare for you, please be sure to serve.”

Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, he thought they were going to give him something valuable, and he was ready to refuse, but it was these things that he could not refuse.

When I opened the box, there was indeed a broadsword with a hidden sheath inside, just as Zhou Taigong said. The size and style were similar to the one I had been using for so long. I took it out and saw that it has been sharpened. As Zhou Taigong said, the material used to make this broad sword is indeed not comparable to the iron sword with a gap in my hand, because the new one The broadsword is made of steel.

Secondly, there is also a set of leather armor inside the box, which is more exquisitely sewn and densely stitched. It is a complete set of leather armor, including upper body armor, wrist guards, shoulder pads, leather pants on the lower body, the same three layers of cowhide, and embedded iron pieces. , and even a fur hat, which is very well prepared.

Among other things, the box contained a full hundred Mitsubishi arrows and a bulging package.

Seeing these carefully prepared things for himself, Ling Tao was really moved again. He didn't know what to say. The broad sword and Mitsubishi arrows were hammered out by the villagers with hammers. The leather armor and the package It was sewn stitch by stitch by the villagers, and the food in the package was carefully prepared by them, and it was full of the hearts of the villagers.

"Okay, I'll accept these things, thank you," Ling Tao said with a deep bow to the villagers.

"Hehe, as long as Mr. Ling is satisfied, you can put it on now and show us, okay?"Grandpa Zhou laughed.

Ling Tao nodded without saying anything. He moved the box back into the house, put down the old broadsword, took off the leather armor, put on a new leather armor, took the new broadsword, and left again after dressing neatly. come out.

Whether it's the broadsword or the leather armor, he thinks it fits well. It doesn't feel bloated or difficult to use. However, he looked at the villagers and smiled bitterly: "Both the broadsword and the leather armor are suitable for me, but, With these things in hand, I couldn't carry the package and take those Mitsubishi arrows."

Indeed, with a broadsword in his hand, an ox horn bow and a quiver on his back, Ling Tao couldn't take the remaining one hundred Mitsubishi arrows and packages. affect his actions.

Seeing Ling Tao's embarrassed face, Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Hehehe, what am I supposed to do? It's easy to handle. I thought Mr. Ling would be in trouble before. No, I prepared it for you. A few helpers, just to solve these small problems for you."

Zhou Taigong's voice fell, and under Ling Tao's puzzled eyes, Zhou Lin and 13 people came out of the crowd, came to Ling Tao and said, "Mr. Ling, we are willing to go with you. Leave it to us."

Looking at the 13 people in front of him, Ling Tao frowned and said, "Zhou Lin, you are...".

They didn't speak, but Mrs. Zhou said openly: "Mr. Ling, they have already decided to go with you. Don't worry, they have nothing to worry about. Moreover, they have made up their minds. Even if you don't let them follow, don't worry. They're all going to run to you, so you know what I mean."

Looking at Zhou Lin and other 13 people's determined expressions, coupled with Zhou Taigong's words, how could Ling Tao not understand that these people have made up their minds, and they will follow even if he doesn't let them follow. He is not an idiot, Of course he knew this level, what else could he do at this time?He could only smile wryly and nod in agreement.

"Sure enough, you are a smart kid. I know that if you don't agree to me, this old guy will make you agree. If you do this, I won't be able to say the rest of the words." Zhou Taigong agreed very simply. Ling Tao smiled wryly.

Shaking his head, Ling Tao looked at the sky, it was already daylight, and said, "Grandpa, it's almost time, so I took them away, let's leave now, if there is a chance, I will come back to see you" .

"Hey..., okay, brother Ling, take care all the way, pay attention to safety", Mr. Zhou was startled, and then he didn't say anything provocative, just nodded heavily and said...

(I don't think anyone would have guessed that Ling Tao would agree so simply, haha... Finally, it is customary to ask for recommendation and collection)
