The old man's voice gradually weakened, and his strength also gradually weakened along with his voice.

The deadwood-like hand slowly dropped down, and the cloudy eyes seemed to have lost the last trace of brilliance.

Lu Lin looked at the old man and was stunned for a moment.

This old man, he is dead?

Lu Lin suddenly came to his senses, quickly put the old man down, put his hand into the old man's hood, and wanted to check the old man's pulse.

But as soon as Lu Lin's hand touched the old man's neck, he was stunned.

The next moment, Lu Lin directly tore off the rag covering the old man's body, and the sight that appeared in front of him made his pupils suddenly shrink.

The old man's body was as skinny as a zombie. The skin between the ribs was deeply sunken, making every rib clearly visible. The most exaggerated thing was the old man's waist and abdomen. The slenderest part was actually But Lu Lin’s arms are as thick as...

"Are there really any internal organs in this body?" Lu Lin's pupils kept trembling, and the scene in front of him exceeded his understanding of human beings.

How did this body survive to this day?

Lu Lin knelt down in front of the corpse and was stunned for a long time.

In the end, he gave up the plan of giving first aid to the old man.

Not to mention that he didn't have much first aid knowledge, and he didn't have any ointments or crystals on hand for treatment.

The most important thing is that even if there were, the old man's body might not be able to be saved.

Lu Lin didn't know what the old man relied on to survive until now, but he felt that death might be a kind of relief for him.

"Beautiful forest..."

This was the last message left by the old man. Obviously, it was a place name.

Moreover, the "him" in his mouth should also be there.

As for the "she" in his mouth, who could it be?

……

do not know.

If you want to know, you probably have to go to this place called the Colorful Forest.

But before that.

Lu Lin looked at the old man.

If possible, he hopes that the old man can at least be buried in peace after the end of his life.

But where should he bury the old man?

Where in Nuoda's empire is it not shrouded in the shadow of the Holy Religion?

How sad that he, a person who had been harmed by the Holy Religion for his whole life, should be buried in the land controlled by the Holy Religion.

But if Lu Lin takes him out without knowing where to go, he may even be noticed by the Holy Cult.

"Can the phrase "death without a burial place" still be interpreted this way..."

Lu Lin smiled and looked up at the sky.

The surrounding walls were old and dirty, and only the small patch of sky seemed so pure.

At that moment, Lu Lin suddenly realized that he seemed to have found the most suitable burial place for the old man.

This is a forgotten corner of the city.

No one comes, no one cares.

The light of the Holy Religion cannot reach here, and the only thing that illuminates this place is this small square of sky.

Although it is like the sky at the mouth of a well, it is rarely peaceful.

Chapter 68 Have a peaceful sleep

chap!

Lu Lin inserted the shovel in his hand into the ground, looked at the human-shaped pit in front of him, and let out a sigh of relief.

Different from modern cities, except for the main roads, most of the roads in this city are ordinary dirt roads. Therefore, Lu Lin was able to dig a hole here.

As for the shovel, since he had to dig a hole, Lu Lin went around the alley to look for suitable tools. As a result, he found this shovel next to a manure pit between two houses. Just brought it over and used it.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting..."

Lu Lin muttered and came to the old man's side.

Leaning down, Lu Lin picked up the old man's body.

"So light. Is this really the weight a person should have?" Lu Lin gritted his teeth, feeling uncomfortable again.

Why on earth should this old man be treated like this?

He should have been the hero who conquered the dungeon in the news magazine. Why on earth did he end up like this?

"Beautiful forest..."

Lu Lin thought of this place name again.

Wherever he goes, will he know everything?

"Let's find out more about it later," Lu Lin thought to himself and put the old man's body into the pit.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or Lu Lin's illusion. When he stepped away, Lu Lin always felt that the area seemed to be a little brighter again.

The sun shines on the old man's skinny face stained with blood...

Lu Lin hoped that this would be a peaceful scene.

But what was in front of me was clearly only misery and desolation.

Lu Lin sighed and was about to pick up the shovel, but suddenly found a ball of crumpled paper falling at his feet.

"Did it just fall from him?" Lu Lin picked up the ball of paper, unfolded it and looked at it.

It was an old portrait. It was supposed to be folded, but later it seemed to have been crushed into a ball. The entire paper was full of wrinkles and had many water stains.

However, the image on the portrait is exceptionally clear.

It was a line drawing of a woman.

The woman in the portrait has her eyes closed, her face is beautiful, and she has smooth hair. However, I don’t know whether it was intentional by the artist or the style of painting. The woman’s hair is depicted as being composed of countless long strips as thick as a little finger.

The woman's hair is dotted with colorful flowers, and she wears a beautiful long dress decorated with fruits and flowers.

Other than that, there is no other information on the painting.

Lu Lin also looked at the back of the paper. It was blank, with nothing on it.

Lu Lin didn't know who the person in the portrait was, but since it fell from the old man's body, it must have been a very important person to the old man.

"Alas..." Lu Lin sighed and placed the painting on the old man's chest.

Later, Lu Lin picked up a shovel and buried the old man.

After filling the soil, Lu Lin did not erect a monument for the old man. He just took out a bottle of gray cloud mushroom medicine and sprinkled it on the old man's grave.

Li Mi always likes to rely on this medicine to fall asleep. I hope this medicine can also help the old man sleep a little more peacefully.

"Sleep peacefully, your ordeal is over..."

Lu Lin said, saluted to the old man, then turned to look at Li Mi behind him.

Tanuki's eyes were still as dull as before, he did nothing during the whole process, and he probably didn't think about anything.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lu Lin felt inexplicably that he felt even worse than usual.

Lu Lin walked over and touched her head.

He wanted to hug Li Mi again, but Lu Lin quickly realized that this behavior could only make him feel a little better.

After sighing, Lu Lin said: "Let's go, Li Mi, it's time for us to go back."

In the center of the square, Lan Jie was wiping his bald head back and forth with a wet towel, trying to cool his head down.

"It's so hot and I'm so hungry. Where have these two people gone..." Lan Jie felt very tired.

My boss ran away with his eldest sister, leaving him sitting alone on the street from morning to afternoon.

If it weren't for the black snail symbol on his back, he would probably be regarded as a beggar.

Just when Lan Jie looked exhausted, he finally saw the figure of his boss.

He stood up excitedly on the spot and trotted towards Lu Lin and Li Mi, thinking that he would have to complain to his boss next.

But when he came closer, he saw Lu Lin's sad face and felt the heavy atmosphere around Lu Lin that seemed to weigh down the flowers and plants on the roadside. He swallowed back all his complaints.

"Boss, you...what's wrong with you?" Lan Jie asked.

"Sigh... I don't know how to explain it. Things are a bit complicated. Let's talk about it later," Lu Lin sighed.

The corners of Lan Jie's mouth twitched, a little confused.

The boss ran away with a beggar on the street. He thought that either the boss's wallet was stolen or the beggar beat him up. But when he came back, why did he feel like he had encountered something big?

But what big deal could this be?

However, if it wasn't a big deal, it seemed unexplainable why Lan Jie had been gone for so long.

Lan Jie felt that his curiosity was about to explode, but the current atmosphere did not seem to be suitable for digging into the details.

"By the way, didn't I ask you to load the car? Have you done it?" Lu Lin asked.

"It's done, everything has been loaded onto the truck," Lan Jie said, "I also asked them to buy the ox cart."

"Well," Lu Lin nodded, "Okay, so where is our new car now?"

"It's outside the city. That thing is too big. According to regulations, you can't enter the city. You can only stay in the grassland outside the city," Lan Jie said. "The people from the Chamber of Commerce should help us guard it now. We also It’s time to go and receive it.”

"Well, okay, let's go and have a look," Lu Lin nodded.

"Okay, let's go this way," Lan Jie said, walking towards one of the main roads.

Lu Lin and Li Mi followed silently, neither of them saying a word.

Lan Jie walked in front, feeling uncomfortable all over for no reason.

He was now very uneasy about Lu Lin's view on consumption. In order to save more money, he had spent a long time studying what to say to get Lu Lin to agree to leave him the money from selling the bullock cart.

But now, Lu Lin didn't even mention this matter.

"Hey, boss, what's going on here..." Lan Jie couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as he sighed, Lu Lin suddenly shouted: "Lan Jie."

"Ah?" Lan Jie responded immediately, "What's wrong?"

Lu Lin asked: "Have you ever heard of the Colorful Forest?"

"Beautiful Forest..." Lan Jie repeated the term and touched his chin, "Well, it sounds familiar, Colorful Forest, Colorful Forest...ah! Oga City!"

"Oga City?" Lu Lin asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I remember that the most famous scenic spot in Oga City is called this name," Lan Jie said. "I heard a conversation with a businessman when he was transporting goods."

"Do you know where it is?" Lu Lin asked.

"I know roughly that the place is on the border of the empire, but it's easy to find," Lan Jie said, "but boss, why do you ask this?"

"Because I plan to go to the colorful forest," Lu Lin said.

"Ah?" Lan Jie was surprised, "Why?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, "Why are you reacting so loudly?"

"Because, that is Oga City," Lan Jie swallowed, "the legendary fallen city that can eat people's souls..."
