Chapter 410 Origin
Shu Han smiled bitterly. It turned out that this was what the old man meant when he said he was going to draw some blood.
So, Shu Han took out bags of spiritual stones and sprinkled them to the children like candies.
The children were very excited when they saw the sparkling and beautiful stones like Lingshi for the first time. Some children even thought they were candies and bit them when they put them in their mouths, almost breaking their front teeth.
Gong Xiangming was also surprised when he saw the spiritual stone, and sighed: "This is the first time I have seen a stone containing spiritual energy. Uncle Wei, please give me some!"
Shu Han glared: "Get out!"
Gong Xiangming laughed, patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead and take the children to play."
Xiaoxia nodded, took Xiao Tingting's hand and walked into the group of children.
Shu Han looked at the happy courtyard and felt as if he was in another world, as if he had returned to Shuzhuang, the days when he and the children in the village played together. Suddenly, Gong Xiangming handed Shu Han a hammer and said, "Let's go, Uncle Wei, whoever sees it has a share. You see, the children are making trouble here. Let me repair it together."
Shu Han did not refuse, took the hammer, and jumped onto the roof with Gong Xiangming.
Seeing the children playing happily below him, he couldn't help but ask: "Old Gong, where did your bunch of dolls come from? Are you keeping them in captivity and preparing to do some inhumane things?!"
"Fuck your mother!"
Gong Xiangming cursed angrily: "Do I look like that kind of person?"
If it comes to other aspects, Shu Han will definitely insist, like!
However, just now, Shu Han really felt the care that Old Man Gong had for the dolls, especially the sisters Xiaoxia and Xiao Tingting. There was unspeakable love in his words.
Then, Old Man Gong waved his hammer and slowly repaired the roof damaged by the children. He said: "These children were picked up by me. Their parents were smuggled from Xiacheng District. From Xiacheng District to Shangcheng District, That's a capital crime. Poor children, they lost their parents when they were young, and they have to be sent back to the pig den in Xiacheng District. I came from Xiacheng District back then, and I know what Xiacheng District is like. These children are here. Without parental care in urban areas, most will die quickly.”
Smuggling to the uptown area?
Shu Han couldn't help but think of Brother Wang's family. Xiao Jiajia seemed to have a brother who had been missing for a long time, and the family was not very willing to mention it.
Shu Han looked at Gong Xiangming and said in surprise: "You are such a bad old man who plucking the feathers of wild geese, would you be so kind to help these babies who are about to be repatriated?"
"Actually, based on my experience, I have seen many cases of repatriating dolls, so I really won't care about it."
He was sitting on the roof, looking at the two sisters playing among the dolls, his eyes showing confusion.
"Three years ago, I was still working as an errand in the City Lord's Mansion and took over the processing of these dolls. But when I saw the sisters Xiaoxia and Xiao Tingting among the dolls, I immediately softened my heart. Alas, these two sisters look really good. Like my two granddaughters, they felt soft and used their power to save these children. "
"Do you really have a granddaughter?"
In the Great Nirvana Pavilion, Shu Han also heard Gong Xiangming say that Caitou looked like his granddaughter.
Shu Han originally thought that this bad old man was just talking nonsense, but he never thought that this bad old man really had a granddaughter.
"I am over four hundred years old. Isn't it normal to have a granddaughter?"
Then, Gong Xiangming mentioned the past: "I was also born in Xiacheng District, but I was more talented. I quickly stood out in Xiacheng District and came to Shangcheng District to settle down. I was like all the people in Shangcheng District back then. I had a family and a family. It’s a pity that my wife was unable to cultivate to the stage of pill formation and passed away very early because her life span was exhausted.”
Mentioning the past, Shu Han saw the vicissitudes of time on Gong Xiangming's face.
Gong Xiangming's eyebrows were dancing, and he showed off a little: "But my son is one of the best geniuses, very much like me. He is handsome, he can practice quickly, and he is very popular in the Great Nirvana City. Those who wanted to get married back then almost knocked me down. A hundred and fifty years ago, this boy and his wife broke through the Babel Tower and went to the Holy Land to take care of their two young daughters. "
"But... I have been waiting in the Great Nirvana City with my two granddaughters for many years, but I haven't waited for them to come back. After asking several times, I said that the bastard and his wife died on the trial road. Hey, I have pity on my two granddaughters. , I haven’t even met my parents very often.”
Speaking of this, Gong Xiangming's tone was still brisk, but behind the brisk tone, there was an imperceptible sadness.
Road of trials?
Although Shu Han was suspicious, he couldn't help but sympathize with this bad old man and was embarrassed to interrupt him.
Gong Xiangming shook his head helplessly: "The bastard will never come back. I have to help him take care of his two girls. But, alas, things are unpredictable. The two girls were very obedient when they were young, but the older they grow, the more disobedient they become. ! The eldest granddaughter is better. Although she has a stubborn temper, she doesn’t act recklessly. When she grew up, she joined the Nirvana Army and hunted down the Renaissance Army everywhere. She did some dangerous work, which made me worried every time. "
"And the little granddaughter was even worse. She was abducted by the Fuxing Army at some point. She refused to listen to any advice. In the end, she turned against her sister and worked wholeheartedly for the Fuxing Army. At that time, my life was about to be destroyed by this. The two granddaughters are in trouble. They have been here to collect debts in their previous lives. "
"Sure enough, during a crusade against the Holy Land eighty years ago, the two granddaughters I saw growing up were gone."
Shu Han was stunned.
I didn't expect that the old man Gong Xiangming would have such a sad past.
After losing his son in his early years, and then his two granddaughters and sisters killed each other, it must have been very frustrating for the old man.
Looking at Gong Xiangming's sad old face, Shu Han couldn't help but ask: "Old Gong, logically speaking, shouldn't you hate the Renaissance Army? Why are you joining the Renaissance Army again now? The same goes for your two granddaughters. They don't know how to do such stupid things. Save your family’s worries!”
Gong Xiangming shook his head: "Don't talk about them like that!"
He sighed: "After thinking about it for many years, I realized that I am too narrow-minded. My two granddaughters sacrificed their lives for their ideals and beliefs. Although they did not live as long as me, their achievements are more valuable than mine. I am not qualified." No matter what you accuse them of, they are all good."
Shu Han understood now.
"So, your real purpose in joining the Renaissance Army is not to get any benefits. Instead, you want to understand what this Renaissance Army is like for which your little granddaughter has sacrificed her life. Is my guess right?"
Gong Xiangming laughed dumbly.
"Really? Is this what I think..."
Gong Xiangming looked at the group of dolls below, his eyes resting on the pair of sisters, and said: "You asked me why I saved these children, and this is my answer. These two sisters are really like my two silly granddaughters... "
Shu Han nodded and asked: "But there will be great turmoil in the Nirvana City on the Rain Praying Day. Will they be okay?"
"No problem, the Rain Praying Day is mostly a battle between the Great Nirvana Army and the Renaissance Army. The battles between these two sides rarely affect civilians, and this house is in an inconspicuous corner of the Great Nirvana City. Brat, look at this underground , there is a barrier specially set up by me. Once any danger occurs, the children can hide in the barrier. They are safer here than anywhere else in Da Nirvana. "
