Chapter 170

The old woman invited Luo Binhan to sit on the wooden frame and talk with her, but the wooden frame looked very weak, and it was supported by four savages on the shoulders. The mysterious sense of status made Luo Binhan feel very uncomfortable , as if I was participating in some kind of night tour of ghosts and goblins.

He declined the invitation, and marched alongside the gallows.This created a barrier to communication between them, and the woman was simply too old.A few simple conversations at the first meeting seemed to have exhausted her strength, and she could no longer speak loudly.For the rest of the journey, she just squinted her eyes quietly, looking ahead with sleepiness.Luo Binhan was full of thoughts, taking advantage of this silence to look at these terrifyingly old "prophets".

They were almost decayed to the point where they were out of human form, so they would no longer be able to engage in farming, fishing and hunting, but at the same time they received extraordinary courtesy, which was really a luxury for a primitive society.But then again, it's amazing enough that these old people lived to this age.Luo Binhan strongly felt that he knew too little about these savage tribes, and he didn't even know whether they had private ownership—this was related to how long "Little Box Brother" could own his iron box.

After they had climbed a low hill, the procession paused for a while to rest.Luo Binhan finally got alone with the old woman.He sat outside the wooden frame and looked at her face to face.

Most of these old people are bald on the top of their heads, or only have a few dry and thin braids left.Among them, the old woman's hair has been well preserved, and it has not turned white. The light brown color proves her unique blood.

"Aren't you from here?" Luo Binhan asked bluntly.

The old woman squinted at him and nodded slowly.

"Why are you here?"

"Fate," said the old woman, "it led me here to combine the trajectories of the two stars into one."

Her tone of voice is also like a prophet, and there is no trace of another world at all.Luo Binhan weighed all the doubts in his mind, and picked out the one he was most concerned about now.

"You said you had a daughter before," he demanded. "Do you remember her name? Tell me about her. How did she die?"

The old lady stared at the light of the bonfire for a while.

"I've pretty much forgotten about it," she confided in a low voice. "I used to go to the place where the leaf came from investigating a tobacco company's wares in order to sue them. I met her father in a nearby town. I didn't think about getting married, but I had a daughter with him. Marriage, that memory is very vague. But I still remember the last day I stayed there-the day when darkness fell, and the two people I loved most did not escape. They both Stayed there forever, and me and the last of the Lucky Villagers were taken away by these saints. What a distant memory, the day the darkness pretended to be him and my daughter, tried everything to trick me into staying. He hugged me Wept bitterly, kissed my legs and feet, took the opportunity to infiltrate the darkness into me. But then I saw through their disguise, and drove them back with holy leaves."

Luo Binhan looked at her bare legs.The cut was hidden under the cloth cover, but the neat outline of the cut was still discernible.

"So they broke your leg?"

"No," the old woman said leisurely, "darkness, what it devours is blazing light, not flesh and blood. It took away my compatriots to cover up its fragile womb. But mortals can do nothing, we I can only escape, escape, all the way from my hometown into the mountains. In the process, my legs have been eroded irreparably, and the saints had to help me purify them... Ah, there were still many people present at that time , Siri, Sandra, Dumu, I still remember every companion who fled together, until now, only me is left."

As she spoke, Luo Binhan watched silently as the shadow of the torch danced on the ground.He thought of a lot of things that he hadn't thought about before, but none of them seemed surprising.In the end, he still asked the old woman: "Why you? Among all the fugitives, you are the only one who has survived to this day?"

The old woman's drooping skin pulled again.With an expression that was almost joyful, she put her hands into the loose neckline, fumbled back and forth, and finally pulled out a ball of dark green dried leaves in Luo Binhan's astonished eyes.

"Holy leaf," she said, "at first I came to prove that it was the devil's bait, but in the end I was rescued by its holy power. Even the dark is drunk with dreams, and then they are careless and uncontrollable The souls of the dead, to whom the truth is more torment than any weapon or tooth."

"But it's not enough to kill them, is it?"

"No one can kill the darkness," said the old woman. "It makes flesh, but it is not flesh. It brings death, but it cannot die. You can only live with it until the eternal light comes."

Robin Han shook his head.He had heard many fairy tales, but he still didn't believe in the existence of eternal light.

"Eternal light can only exist on an individual at most." He said to the old woman, "There has never been eternal light in this world."

"There was never," replied the old woman, "and the future is."

"What the hell is this prophecy, or is it your own idea?"

"It's fate."

Luo Binhan shrugged indifferently and said, "Then can you really predict?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Tomorrow's weather." Luo Binhan said, "Tell me, will it be sunny tomorrow morning?"

It's hard to say if this is a prophecy, but when the old woman looked up at the sky for a while, she gave Luo Binhan a very positive answer.This was in line with Luo Binhan's needs, so he decided not to pursue the reason behind it.

"Since the weather will be fine tomorrow." Luo Binhan continued to say to her, "You can get up early, go for a walk outside, and watch the sunrise."

The old woman's eyes were a little funny.She looked at Luo Binhan teasingly, and then patted her broken leg.

"You just need to understand the spirit." Luo Binhan said, "Why are you so picky about words? If you are not satisfied with the walk, you can let someone else take the walk for you."

He left when the wildlings set off again, parted ways with the old lady with a broken leg, and returned to his flying machine.As soon as he sat down, Fina, who was hiding on his back, climbed down and sneaked her claws towards the ring between his fingers.

Luo Binhan patted its head, wondering why that boring thing could make it so happy.Then he remembered that when Fina drank the incense of domestication, this unlucky ring was the first thing that surprised her.Could this be some kind of fledgling effect?

He decided to do some experiments another day, for example, ask Yale Liga to make the sound of the ring a bit more special, maybe it can cure Fina's problem with playing with the ring.The idea was still playing in his mind when he returned to the Silence.He took off the ring, put it in the cage with Fina, and then returned Li Li's black box to the warehouse.After doing all this, he came to the room with the wine red ponytail closed and asked ∈ to unlock the door.

The wine-red ponytail jumped out from inside, hanging on him with a murderous look.

"Where did you go?" she asked angrily, "You want ten mushrooms, and you still keep my old lady here? And you smell like a woman's flower!"

Luo Binhan pulled her off his body and said, "You know it's a woman again."

"Bah, you are so soft." The wine red ponytail sneered, "You can't even sleep with a man!"

Luo Binhan didn't bother arguing with her on this kind of topic where success or failure was inevitable.He directly grabbed the other person's arm and said, "Do you still want to see the savage? Be obedient to me if you want to, otherwise I will ask you to pick ten Cordyceps sinensis right now, and you fucking stay here for me and wait for spring to fall. "

This wine red ponytail finally shut up.Luo Binhan breathed a sigh of relief, and dragged her to the door.

"Where are you taking me? To an empty warehouse?"

"Look for your mother." Luo Binhan said.

 Can I have some monthly and referral tickets?
