Chapter 514: Peach trees have never been planted in this village
When Lin Chen returned to the Great Wall, all the soldiers cheered.
What happened today is destined to go down in history.
"Lin Chen, a god descended from heaven!"
"He broke through 3,300 armor with one sword, and his style is unparalleled in the world."
"Under the Great Wall, he killed Tiemushan with one move."
"On the prairie, he fought against the land immortal Tiemu Tian alone, let him make four moves, and then killed him with one move!"
"Before the death of the land immortal Tiemu Tian, he knelt down and begged for mercy, and was scared by Lin Chen to shit and urinate."
"In just a quarter of an hour, he broke through Loulan City!"
"..."
Many achievements.
The historian wrote several pages, but he didn't finish it!
Everyone looked at Lin Chen with respect and admiration.
"God Lin."
Yu Wen and Zhang Wu came and asked Lin Chen: "General Meng is about to be cremated. Do you want to see him off?"
Lin Chen said: "Let's go."
He came to an open space where many people gathered, including soldiers and nearby residents.
Everyone was crying.
Who would have thought that a living person would suddenly become a corpse?
Seeing Lin Chen coming, a general immediately said: "Make way for General Lin."
Lin Chen saw a pile of firewood.
Montaigne's body lay quietly on the top.
Looking at Montaigne's body, Lin Chen felt a little puzzled.
Montaigne missed his hometown and mentioned the peach blossoms in his hometown in several conversations with him.
He should want to go home.
Otherwise, his last wish could not be for me to send him home.
Since he wanted to go home, why didn't he live well and then go back by himself?
Although he was seriously injured at the time.
But if he wanted to live, Lin Chen would naturally not let him die.
Whether it was the healing potion or the Hundred Flowers Sword, they could all make him fully recover.
As for the healing potion.
Montaigne had used it, and he also knew that Lin Chen had quite a few.
He was not worried about wasting it, and using one bottle less would make one less.
But he was really determined to die.
He didn't want to live any more.
So Lin Chen felt very strange.
He wanted to die, but also wanted to go home. Was he ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong?
"The answer should only be found in his hometown."
A soldier handed over a torch.
Lin Chen took the torch and lit the firewood.
The raging fire instantly engulfed Montaigne's body.
Two hours later, Lin Chen got Montaigne's ashes.
Lin Chen took Montaigne's ashes and embarked on a journey to Montaigne's hometown.
There were system guidance and the galaxy was reversed.
So Lin Chen would not get lost.
Six hours later, he came to a mountain village.
According to the system's guidance, this was Montaigne's hometown, a simple village.
When Lin Chen appeared here, he immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
Usually, few outsiders come here.
"Young man, what are you doing here?"
An old man came forward to ask enthusiastically.
Lin Chen said: "General Montaigne died in the battle with the barbarians."
"General Montaigne's last wish was to return to his homeland, so I brought him back."
The old man was stunned for a moment.
"Montaigne?"
"You said Montaigne died?"
Lin Chen said: "He died heroically to defend the Great Wall."
The old man was shocked.
After a long while, he sighed deeply.
"God's will, God's will!"
Lin Chen asked the old man: "Did you know that Montaigne would die?"
The old man said: "I don't know."
But his face was full of melancholy and regret.
"I watched that child grow up, but I never thought that one day, I would be the one to send him off."
Lin Chen asked him: "Where are the peach trees planted?"
"General Montaigne seems to like peach trees very much."
"I want to bury him under the peach tree."
The old man was stunned again.
"It is God's will, God's will!"
He did not answer, but turned and left.
Lin Chen looked at him and felt...
This old man is a riddle man!
You just don't want to make it clear, right?
Lin Chen ignored him, but found another villager and asked him: "I heard that there are beautiful peach blossoms in your village."
"Where are the peach blossoms?"
This villager is a young man.
When he heard Lin Chen's words, he was stunned.
After a long while, he looked at Lin Chen with a strange expression.
"Where did you hear that?"
"Peach blossoms have never been planted in our village."
Lin Chen paused.
There are no peach blossoms in this village?
Why did Montaigne mention that he wanted to find peach blossoms so many times before?
Could it be that the system took him the wrong way?
After thinking carefully, Lin Chen knew that this was impossible.
The system would not make mistakes.
So, what was the problem?
Lin Chen thought of the old man just now.
"He must know."
Lin Chen immediately asked the system to find his location, and then went to find him.
When Lin Chen found him.
The old man was talking to the village chief.
The village chief seemed to know the news of Montaigne's death.
Now the two old men gathered together to smoke dry tobacco, both with melancholy faces.
Seeing Lin Chen coming, the old man understood what Lin Chen was looking for.
He stood up and said, "I'll take you to find peach blossoms."
Lin Chen felt more and more strange.
The young man just said that there were no peach blossoms in the village.
You said you would take me to find peach blossoms?
Is there a peach blossom in this village?
Schrödinger's peach blossom, right?
Lin Chen followed him and left.
After going around in circles, the old man finally brought Lin Chen to a flat land on the hillside.
This flat land was very clean, without any weeds or trees.
There was only a solitary grave.
The old man said: "The peach blossom is here."
Lin Chen glanced at it, where is the peach blossom?
There was only a grave here.
Wait!
Lin Chen's eyes immediately fell on the tombstone.
"The Tomb of Li Taohua."
Lin Chen: "..."
There is no peach blossom in this village at all. Taohua... is a woman's name.
"These two children are childhood sweethearts."
The old man was talking beside him, his eyes were dull, as if he was thinking of something very far away.
"Montaigne left the village when he was sixteen, and he was gone for thirty years."
"Taohua waited for him for ten years, and she would look out at the entrance of the village every day for ten years."
"Then she got a strange disease, and many doctors were helpless. A year later, she passed away."
"We sent a letter to Montaigne."
"I don't know if he received it."
At this moment.
Lin Chen finally understood why Montaigne didn't want to continue living.
He received the letter.
When he learned that Li Taohua had died, he had no idea of living alone, so he refused his own treatment.
Lin Chen also understood why he said it was God's will before.
This childhood sweetheart pair not only failed to get together, but also died.
The old man said: "I'll call some people up to bury Montaigne."
"Montaigne should be buried next to Taohua."
With that, the old man turned and left.
Lin Chen looked back at him.
The old man was still talking as he walked.
"Montaigne, you have to apologize to Taohua after you go down."
"Don't bother Taohua in the next life."
"She became ill from overwork and lovesickness. What a good girl, you ruined her."
Lin Chen took out Montaigne's urn.
Waiting for others to come up and dig Montaigne's grave.
"You have been thinking about Taohua for so long, I thought there were really Taohua in the village."
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Taohua for eleven years."
He flipped his hand.
A peach suddenly appeared in his hand.
Then Lin Chen took out another thing.
The plant core.
