Chapter 57 Chapter Nine: Duan Longer and Guan Longer

Hu'er saw such a scene from a distance, and for a moment, he seemed to have returned to his youth. He was a beggar living on the street when he was young, and it was common for him to be chased and beaten. Even the Dongguan Brigade met him for the first time during a street chase. Now he saw the boy being chased and beaten. I can't help but think of many sad memories of my youth. Seeing Hu'er's expression, the East Gate Brigade smiled understandingly, and the two of them met their eyes, then shouted at the same time, and ran quickly towards the oncoming crowd of chasing and beating people.

The running young man saw two weird men with their heads covered suddenly coming towards him, he was stunned for a while, but he didn't stop on his feet, and with a sound of "swipe", he passed between Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er. It was too late and then it was too late, Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er, one left and one right, one right fist and one left fist, after the two of them passed by the young man, they forcibly knotted in the faces of the two big men of the water clan. A solid punch! Those two big men only wanted to chase the boy, but they didn't expect that these two evil stars would suddenly appear. The reactions of the people of the Shui tribe were slow, and the two didn't even see their fists or opponents. With a sore nose, his eyes suddenly went dark, and there were two loud bangs, and he was beaten up by the Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er and flew out.

The young man who was being chased turned his head at this time, but just in time to see the two big men of the aquarium tribe being beaten into the air, so his footsteps slowed down, and he stood at the other end of the street in a daze to watch the good show. The rest of the aquarium men saw that their two companions flew out with just one move, fell to the ground, and screamed angrily in panic. "Stinky boy! What are you, dare to meddle in the affairs of the old men?" Hu'er laughed loudly, and took off the clothes covering his head with a "swipe", and all the big men shouted in surprise and anger when they saw his appearance.

"Landman! This guy is a landman!" A few people shouted and jumped, "clank clank" a few times, and then pulled out shiny aquatic weapons from their hands, including knives and swords, and someone was holding a pair of seemingly scary spike-like sharp weapons. Seeing these people take out their weapons, Hu'er couldn't help frowning. His boxing skills are quite good, and he has been practicing them proficiently over the years, but sharp weapons such as swords don't have eyes after all. Even if he can knock down a few big guys, But there is no guarantee that they will not be cut a few wounds by their sharp weapons.

Therefore, if he fights with bare hands, he will never back down, but if he encounters a siege by several armed opponents, he will hesitate... The people of the Shui tribe are irritable and fierce by nature. Seeing Hu'er's hesitant expression, several big men were overjoyed in their hearts. After roaring a few times, they rushed over with sharp weapons, intending to hack Hu'er to death. The East Gate Brigade sneered slightly, and stood in front of Hu'er in a flash, holding his right hand in the air, concentrating for a moment, and then shot out an extremely powerful thunder force field.

He was annoyed that these big men of the Shui tribe were too vicious, so they used much more force than when dealing with the people in Yuezhai at that time. He only heard a loud "boom", and several big men of the Shui tribe screamed. The blade dropped out of his hand with a sound, Qingqing's claws were scorched black, and one who was weaker was stunned on the spot. At this time, the two big men who were knocked into the air earlier were less injured. Seeing the terrifying power of the thunder and lightning of the Dongguan Brigade, they turned around and ran away. The claw howled miserably, rolled and crawled and fled, and escaped completely in a short while.

Standing on the street, Hu'er couldn't help laughing when he saw the big men fleeing in embarrassment. Seeing passers-by on the side of the road looking sideways, the Dongguan Brigade quickly dragged Hu'er to the side of the street, and put on his clothes to cover his head and face. As soon as he turned around, he saw the boy who was being chased just now smiling and standing in front of the two of them. Looking closely, this boy is not as ugly as ordinary dragons. Although there are still a few streaks of aquarium-colored skin on his forehead and arms, his appearance is more human-like and less aquarium-like.

The Dongguan Brigade didn't want to make more troubles, so they covered their faces and planned to sneak away from the scene by bypassing the young man. It's just that the young man was very interested in the two of them, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he stretched out his hands to grab the hands of Dongguan Lu and Hu'er. "I'll take you to a place!" Hu'er was slightly taken aback, trying to break free from the young man's hand, but the Dongguan Brigade beside him had a thought and said in a low voice. "Go with him, we don't know the way here anyway."

The three of them walked around the street and walked to a secluded path, only to see that the path was covered with green moss, and sometimes chickens and ducks could be seen on the land, obviously they had left the town. The young man held the hands of the two with a smile, and ran quickly. Hu'er frowned, and took advantage of the situation to gently pull his hands away. "Hey! Brother, we can go by ourselves, you don't have to drag us." The boy nodded, and sure enough he let go of the East Gate Brigade, showing a bright smile. "Are you really people from the land?" The young man smiled and said, "This big brother's Lightning Palm is so powerful, it's a good thing you didn't hit me with it, or wouldn't my hand be burnt too?"

The East Gate Brigade and Hu'er looked at each other, only smiled, and did not speak. "My name is Duan Long'er, my mother gave me the name, and said it was my father's last name," said the young Duan Longer, "It's just that I've never seen him, and my mother doesn't allow me to mention him .” Hearing what he said, Hu'er suddenly had a thought, looked at Dongguan Brigade, and motioned him to listen carefully to what this young Duan Longer said. Knowing what Hu'er meant, the Dongguan Brigade shook his head and said in a low voice. "No, the age is wrong."

In the plains of the dragon tribe, the three of them gradually left the market and came to a place similar to the countryside. They saw a few huts scattered on a verdant field, and several dry fields for growing vegetables, which were quite similar to the countryside on land. . Duan Long'er seemed to be quite familiar with this countryside, turned left and right, bypassed a house, crossed several hills, and finally led the Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er to a small hut. "This is my home. I will bring you here to rest, because people on the street don't like land people, and no one will let you rest." Hu'er looked at the surrounding environment for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "They don't like land people, so your family does?" Duan Long'er was slightly taken aback, and smiled a little embarrassedly. "It can't be regarded as liking, but it's not as bad as the people on the street." He quietly tiptoed open the door, poked his head in to have a look, and then whispered to Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er. "My mother doesn't seem to be here, come in!" Having no choice but to go in with Hu'er, the East Gate Brigade went in, the small thatched hut was not very big, only two rooms, young Duan Long'er led the two of them around the room, and came to a back garden. When I arrived at the back garden, I saw that the garden was quite elegantly organized. There was a dry field planted with green vegetables, but a few rows of elegant flowers were planted beside it. Duan Long'er "shushed" to the two of them, signaling them to keep silent, but when he turned his head and saw behind them, the expression on his whole face was frozen like ice. Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er were slightly taken aback, and turned their heads instinctively, only to see a woman standing behind them. I saw that the woman was very tall and thin, her face was slightly weathered, her dark green hair was pulled neatly behind her head, but her smooth forehead showed a bit of frosty seriousness. Also, her face can be regarded as beautiful, and there are no aquarium features, but the frost on her face makes people feel a little creepy, as if there is nothing in the world that can arouse her emotions. The woman's expression was dull, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or unhappy, she just stared at Duan Longer, her eyes were sharp on Duan Longer's body, the boy froze up in fright. "Mother...I..." Duan Long'er said in a low voice, "I'm just...these two are my friends, they are both from land..." The woman didn't pay any attention to his answer, she just stared at him sternly, but she didn't even look at Dongguan Lu and Hu'er. The two big men are stuck between the mother and the child at this moment, and they feel extremely embarrassed. Hu'er is usually eloquent, but now he doesn't know what to say. The woman stared at Duan Long'er for a while without blinking, then said coldly. "You got into a fight with someone?" "No...no," Duan Long'er stammered, "It was people who bullied me, and these two big brothers helped me, so I brought them back..." "Whether someone beats you or you beats someone, it's wrong to fight anyway," the woman said coldly, "How many times did my mother tell you that the children of the Duan family will never fight with others? Why do you still take what mother said?" Treat it as wind in your ears?" "No, that's not the case," Duan Long'er said anxiously, "I..." "I don't want to hear your explanation," the woman said quietly, but there was no anger on her face, and it was just like this that made people feel even more horrified. "You know the rules set by mother, what should I do, don't I need to say it again?" Duan Long'er lowered his head and said in a low voice, "My child understands." "You know, why don't you kowtow in front of your father's spirit?" The woman said coldly, "I still have to say sorry to Uncle Feng." Duan Long'er stood up sadly, glanced at Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er, then walked to a small mound in the garden.Seeing that Duan Long'er had already knelt down in front of the small mound, the woman didn't say much, and then lightly flashed into the room, unexpectedly never looked at Dongguan Lu and Hu'er from the beginning to the end. Hu'er opened his eyes, and made a helpless gesture to the Dongguan Brigade, only to see that Duan Long'er really knelt in front of the small mound and began to kowtow, knocking with great force, and made a "dong dong" sound . Every time you knock, you have to say it loudly. "I'm sorry, Daddy, Long'er won't do it again." The Dongguan Brigade walked to the small mound curiously, and found that it was indeed a tomb, with a stone tablet on it, engraved with a few words: "Tomb of my late husband Duan Ziyuan". That Duan Long'er kowtowed more than 300 times in a row, until his forehead was swollen.After knocking, he got up a little unsteadily, and Hu'er saw him walking crookedly, so he quickly helped him up. "After Daddy is finished," Duan Long'er smiled miserably. "I still have to go to Uncle Feng's place." Hu'er couldn't bear to refuse this young man, so he helped him to the back of the garden. When he got there, he looked around but didn't see any mounds. When he was wondering, Duan Long'er said softly. "Uncle Feng is there." The East Gate Brigade looked over as promised, and did not see anything unusual, only a small tent on the ground. "What Uncle Feng..." Hu'er murmured, "Why didn't I see anything?" At this moment, the Dongguan Brigade casually glanced into the tent, only to find that there was a slightly raised hill on the ground, and there was a palm-sized hole in the center of the hill. He moved his face curiously, and when he saw clearly what was inside the small hole, he couldn't help but let out a low "ah". It turned out that in that small hole, there was actually a haggard face! After Hu'er saw the scene at the entrance of the cave, he was also very surprised and said loudly. "You... what the hell are you doing? Why are you burying a dead man's head here?" Duan Long'er smiled and shook his head. "This is not a dead man's head, this is Uncle Feng." "Fine, fine, even if it's not a dead head," Hu'er said loudly, "Why did you bury Uncle Feng's head here?" "Uncle Feng is not dead," Duan Long'er walked to the side of the shed, carefully drew some water, took a cloth, and gently wiped the face. "He just became a person who couldn't speak, couldn't move, so we put him here." The Dongguan Brigade and Hu'er approached dubiously, and looked carefully at the face buried in the soil. Hu'er stretched out his hand and gently touched the face of "Uncle Feng". , and sure enough, he was breathing a little. But, why is this person buried here so deeply? "I don't know what the real situation is. When I was young, my mother didn't tell me, saying that I was young, and she would tell me when I grew up. When I grew up, my mother said that it was no good for me to know. So don't tell me," Duan Long'er said sadly: "I only know that my father passed away before I was born, and that Uncle Feng became like this before I was born. The two of them died before my father was alive. He is a very good friend, and I heard that Uncle Feng was brought up by my father, but my mother refused to say anything about the real situation." "You Uncle Feng..." Hu'er asked, "Why did it become like this? Why did you bury him here again?" "I heard people say that Uncle Feng became like this because someone broke his back. My mother buried Uncle Feng here only because the 'intermittent sacred soil' behind our house can heal injuries. He said that fortunately with these divine soils, Uncle Feng's life could be continued, but his injury was too serious, it was impossible to heal it, and it was even difficult to restore him to consciousness. Since I was a child, I have seen Uncle Feng like this. I have never seen him speak, nor have he opened his eyes. "Duan Long'er was talking, and suddenly showed a mysterious expression." However, in fact, Uncle Feng can still speak, but what he said was incomprehensible to others, and only I could listen. " "He can talk?" Dongguan Brigade asked curiously, "How do you say it?" "Actually, I discovered it by accident. I was bullied once when I was a child. I cried and went home to find my mother, but my mother beat me up instead. I was so angry and sad that I ran to the back garden. Come to Uncle Feng. At that time, I cried and cried, and the tears dripped on Uncle Feng's face, trying to wipe them off for him, but when I put my fingers on Uncle Feng's eyelids, I seemed to hear him talking to me. " As he spoke, he cleared his throat with a "huh" and began to speak in a low voice like Uncle Feng. "Little Long'er...don't cry...your mother is doing it for your own good, don't cry, Uncle Feng loves you..." Listening to Duan Long'er's narration, the Dongguan Brigade was very curious, and looked at the still expression of "Uncle Feng", feeling a little suspicious in his heart. "Did you really hear him? Can you hear him now?" "Yes," Duan Long'er nodded, and gently put his fingers on "Uncle Feng"'s eyelids. "It's just that it doesn't work every time, and Uncle Feng doesn't talk much every time, only a few words at most." "Then did he tell you about the past between him and your father?" Hu'er asked, "Do you know who they are and what they have done?" "I probably know something, but Uncle Feng didn't tell me," Duan Long'er smiled self-deprecatingly. "It's from the people who bullied and beat me on the street." "Oh?" "It's just that they didn't make it very clear. They only know that my father and Uncle Feng seem to be well-known figures in the clan in the early years. They have great kung fu and good skills. Moreover, they, like you, came from land. Duan Long'er said: "Later, my father and my mother were together, and the people in the dragon clan were very opposed to it, so they called me 'little bastard'. Later, I don’t know what accident happened. In short, many people died in the dragon clan, including those in the royal clan. My father was seriously injured in that accident and died not long after. Later, Uncle Feng was also killed. Discount the back bone, and it becomes what it is now. But no one is willing to tell me the real details, and I dare not ask, because I will know this because they accidentally said it when they were beating me. My mother doesn't know that I know these things, so of course I wouldn't ask her, I'm not an idiot, so I wouldn't ask her to beat me up like this. " "These things..." Dongguan Brigade asked, "Have you asked this 'Uncle Feng'?" "I asked," Duan Long'er shook his head. "It's just that I don't know if he won't say it, or he can't say it. Every time I touch his eyelids, as long as I ask these things, he always refuses to talk to me."
