C1293 Selected People
But when the six daughter-in-law arrived at the entrance, she did not see Xia Lei and Xia Changhe. After searching for quite a while, she discovered that Xia Lei and Xia Changhe were standing face to face on a piece of barren land that was tens of meters away, as if they were chatting about something.
"Really, dad is back. Husband isn't bringing him home, but is standing so far away chatting. What are they talking about?" Jiang Ruyi opened his mouth when he saw Xia Lei.
"I don't know." Fan Fan sighed. "Dad ?" "He's a very strange person. When we got married, he didn't come back, and he didn't even give birth to a child. He only came back once at such a young age, and yet he still didn't enter the door. What's going on with him?"
Liang Siyao and Long Bing looked at each other, along with Tang Yuyan, her reaction was also very calm. These three women who came from the special forces all knew about Xia Changhe's background. Although it was not overall, it was not strange that Xia Changhe would do such a thing.
"Why don't we go and invite Dad over to our house?" Shentu Tianyin said.
"I'll go ask around. What's the matter if you don't come in?" If word of this gets out, I would think that we as daughter-in-law would be extremely difficult to deal with. " Tang Yuyan said, and then walked towards Xia Lei and Xia Changhe.
Qian Jun, who was standing by the door, suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, let them chat. Don't go over."
"Why?"
After a moment of silence, Qian Jun said, "He's dangerous."
Tang Yuyan was startled. She thought that Qian Jun would give her more explanations, but Qian Jun shut his mouth. This guy seemed to be worth a million yuan for every word he said.
Long Bing walked to Tang Yuyan's side, "Don't go over there for now, let's take a look first."
"Right." Liang Siyao said: "Hubby will take care of everything."
Tang Yuyan nodded and gave up.
The six mistresses of the Xia Clan all looked towards Xia Lei and Xia Changhe, but they could not hear what the two men were saying.
Xia Changhe told the story about the barren hills in Jerusalem, and when Carcia Ruiz was mentioned, he could no longer calm down. He had a premonition that the next story was one he didn't want to hear.
"When I first saw him, I thought he was just an old man. I didn't know that he was the demon that fought the duel with Ixtab. He was badly wounded, and his armor was missing. He lay on the wasteland, dying. I went over and asked him if he could help me. "I actually wanted to wait for him to die and then take away his valuables ?"
"I still remember the first thing he said to me. He said he didn't need help and I was the one who needed help. He spoke in Chinese, very authentic Chinese. His words and his made me curious, so I talked to him. He said he knew everything about me. He could help me, give me great power, even allow me to live for hundreds of years. My heart was filled with amazement. Isn't that the elixir of life that Emperor Yongle wanted? I told him I wanted it and asked him what I needed to give... "
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. He can help me, but what I need to pay is my freedom and loyalty. He wants me to be his man and work for him. When he made this request, I didn't hesitate, because I had no choice. If I do not accept his terms, I will die in a foreign land. I agreed to his conditions very straightforwardly. Only then did he tell me his identity, that he came from another world, and that he had already lived for a very, very long time. It was so long that even he himself did not know how long he lived for ? "
Xia Lei's heart skipped a beat, "Carcia Ruiz claims to be the only person in history, could it be that he isn't a prehistoric person from this world, and is instead a prehistoric person from Ixtab's world? The bronze grimoire that I obtained and the book of Iron Book from the Vatican are all from another world? Or ? Did he deliberately stay to confuse my sight and influence my thoughts? "
He felt that he was close to the truth. Although it was not the whole truth, it was at least part of the truth.
"He gave me some pills. Although he didn't tell me the name of the medicine, I could guess that it was something Zhu Di also wanted. I took the medicine he gave me, and my body changed. I'm not sick anymore, and I'm much stronger than I used to be. Sometimes I even feel like the strongest warrior in the world. I stayed with him. I thought he was going to let me kill someone, or build an army for him, or set up a dynasty for him. "However, after a period of time, he only gave me one compass. It is the compass in your hand."
Xia Lei's gaze suddenly shifted to the compass in his hand, his mind completely blank.
"He told me he needed to sleep for a while, maybe for hundreds of years. He told me to hold this compass and wait for its instructions and the birth of the chosen person. I asked him who he was, but he didn't give me any explanation. He told me to follow his instructions. I held the compass, but I didn't get any instructions from it. Its pointer is always in a stationary state. After that, he grew weaker and weaker. I know that it was the result of his duel with Ixtab, he is going to die, and Ixtab is going to die too ? "
"I wanted to bury him, but he wouldn't. That day he called me to his side, gave me some advice, and rode away. Before he left, he told me that he would return, and that I would fulfill my oath to him. In fact, I did. After he left, I also left Jerusalem. I took the compass around the world in search of selected people. I walked from the Middle East to Africa, from Africa to Europe. I stayed in a foreign country, but I also wandered, lost my way, and my faith was shaken. I tried a couple of relationships, fell in love with local women, got married, but I couldn't get them to conceive my children. "They age in front of me day by day, but I am still young ?"
"When I finally returned to my homeland, I learned that the Ming dynasty had been destroyed, and that the emperor at that time was Qian Long of the Qing dynasty. I couldn't find my family then, so I started a new life. The days went on and on, and everyone yearned for immortality, but I knew it wasn't a good feeling. Loneliness. It was an indescribable loneliness. "No matter how many people there are around you, you will feel that you are the only one in this world, and that no one else is your kind ?"
"I don't know what to do. Time no longer matters to me. I have been waiting for the compass to give me new instructions, but it has not moved. Then the Qing dynasty fell, the Republic was founded, and then the Republic vanished. I have witnessed too many dynasties, the rise and fall of this people. I could have done something for it, but I didn't. I lack your patriotic heart, but as a Chinese, I'm glad you're doing it now ? "
Xia Lei laughed bitterly. Xia Changhe was indeed one of Carcia Ruiz's men, just like Da Vinci, who was under Ixtab. Xia Changhe obtained the medicine from Carcia Ruiz's hands, obtained a powerful strength, and a long life. If he wanted to help this ancient nation and nation do something, the humiliation of dominating this nation and nation might not even exist, and history would also change. He had the ability, but he didn't do it.
Sadly, he was able to understand Xia Changhe. Everything has its own laws of development and can be interpreted as evolutionary steps. If a dynasty was established, then there would be a day of destruction, just like the changing of the four seasons. If Xia Changhe interfered, that would mean he interfered with the laws of nature, the laws of evolution in the universe. Xia Changhe had witnessed too many changes in dynasties, his heart was already numb to it, why would he intervene?
"Later on, when the new country was established, I also entered a modern life. However, no matter what era it was, I had never forgotten my mission. I had always been waiting for someone to appear. Finally, one day I heard something strange in the compass, as if someone were talking. I didn't understand his language, but I knew my mission had finally come. The night I heard the voice, I dreamt of a city. I had never been to that city, but I knew its name, Hai Zhu City. The next day, I packed my things and took the train to Hai Zhu. At that time, the needle on the compass had already started to tremble slightly, as if it was preparing ? "
"On the second day at Hai Zhu, the needle of the compass violently trembled, and finally pointed in a particular direction. I can never forget the scene, it was a rainy night. I took the compass and it led me to the roof of a residential building. "Then, I discovered you ?"
Xia Lei could not help but ask, "Did I fall from the sky?"
Xia Changhe said, "Of course you didn't fall from the sky. You are a person with flesh and blood.
"Then who gave birth to me, and then abandoned me on the Heaven Stage? You said that you called out the people in that area, and during that time, there were no living children, and no one abandoned their own children! " Xia Lei was excited.
Xia Changhe shook his head, "What I have said is the truth, I really do not know the answer to this matter, you can only find the answer yourself."
Even Xia Changhe was unable to find his biological parents, so how could Xia Lei find out about them? Seeing his own mother was not a big deal to a normal person, but to him, it had already become an extravagant request. His heart was filled with grief.
Xia Changhe sighed, "However, although I was unable to find your biological mother, I have always been studying the possibility of you appearing. After all, Carcia Ruiz told me to look for you a few hundred years ago and told me that you had chosen to do so. "
Xia Lei looked straight at Xia Changhe, "What do you want to say?"
