People in the Navy: Invincible

Chapter 156 Nine Trees
Li Li sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the old and the young opposite.

The old man was haggard, didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, and was out of breath if he couldn't finish a sentence.

The little boy looked dull, his whole body was wrapped in thick bandages, and he looked down at the old man without saying a word.

There are too many doubts in Mo Li's mind, why the two of them are living in ruins, there are many new broken marks in the ruins of the town, what caused it, why the boy is hiding underground, even three Qian's knowledge and knowledge were not discovered.

The old man looked at Mo Li who was silent, his expression was a little nervous, he forced a breath, looked at Mo Li and said in a low voice: "Master Mo Li, I can't do it anymore, I can no longer take care of this child, please take care of me Him."

As he said that, he raised his hand vigorously, wanting the wine-red hedgehog head of Mo Mo's boy, but he really lost his strength and couldn't lift it no matter what.

The young man quickly held the old man's hand, then knelt beside the old man's bed, and gently placed the old man's hand on top of his head. touch his head.

Seeing the boy's actions, Li Li was a little moved. No matter who the boy was, his filial piety to the old man was true.

"cough cough cough cough"

another severe cough,

Li Li said: "Old man, please stop talking, the doctor will come soon."

The old man pursed his lips and gently stroked the boy's hair with his palm. He said, "Jiu Mu is a poor child. His parents left when he was five years old, and he was the only one who threw him down."

"Because his parents said he was a monster, a child born cursed."

Speaking of this, the old man smiled "hehe", moved his fingers, and scratched the boy's hair. The boy seemed to know what the old man was going to do, so he raised his head quickly, and grabbed the messy hedgehog head with both hands until it was smoothed out a little. He lay down on the side of the bed again, and put the old man's hand on his head.

"Lord Li Li has seen the dilapidation of the town, right?"

Li Li nodded and said, "I saw it when I landed on the island. There are new and old broken marks in the ruins."

The old man gave a soft "hmm" and said.

"Jiu Mu did it. Although Jiu Mu didn't hurt anyone, the people in the town left because of Jiu Mu."

Li Li didn't speak, he didn't want to ask, because every word the old man said was burning the last vitality.

The old man did not pause, and continued: "This is a different child. He is born with great strength and unusually developed muscles. When this child was three years old, he was able to lift nine pieces of wood weighing a thousand catties. Named, Jiumu."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed softly: "While possessing a powerful talent, it is also accompanied by disasters."

"Strong physical talent, yes, Jiumu's mind is not sound, and he will go crazy at the slightest stimulation. His parents also threw him away, and all the residents of the town moved out because of this."

"However, he is only a five-year-old child. He doesn't understand anything, and he has no one to educate and guide him. How can such a child know what he is doing?"

"I really couldn't bear to leave this child on a deserted island to fend for himself, so I left him and took care of him for ten years, but now I'm about to die, so what should he do?"

"This child is very obedient. The only thing that is out of control is his wild body. However, I have restrained him and prevented him from releasing his power. He is safe now. Lord Li, please take him away."

As the old man's voice fell, the room fell into silence. Li Li looked at the thick bandages wrapped around the young man's body.

It turned out that this was bondage, imprisonment, and the old man gave the child a protective lock.

The boy raised his head, his appearance was very handsome, but his expression was a bit dull.

He stood up slowly, walked to the window, took out a palm-sized sweet potato from the small cabinet, put it in a bowl, and carefully brought it to the old man's bed.

"Grandpa, you eat." Her immature voice was hoarse.

The old man smiled at Jiu Mu: "Grandpa won't eat it, Jiu Mu will eat it."

The young man froze for a moment, then moved two steps to the end of the old man's bed with the bowl in his hand, squatting on the ground and gnawing on the half-cooked sweet potatoes.

"I'm old, it's not easy to support this child, and I don't know how to educate. I'm really sorry for this poor child."

Li Li shook his head. He could see that the old man had run out of oil and the lamp was dry. He leaned forward, held the old man's withered palm, and said softly, "Old man, don't worry."

Mo Li paused, his face became solemn, and he said seriously: "As long as Jiu Mu kneels in front of me and calls me master, I will accept him."

Hearing what Li Li said, the old man's turbid eyes lit up instantly, took a few breaths, and shouted with all his strength: "Jiu Mu!"

Hearing his grandfather calling him, the boy raised his head abruptly, put down the bowl, and came to the old man's window.

Pointing at Mo Li, the old man shouted to Jiu Mu: "Jiu Mu! Go and kneel down for him, kowtow and call Master!"

The young man was stunned. In his world, there were only old people and grandpas. He had no idea what a master was.

But if grandpa asked him to do it, he would definitely do it.

The boy Jiu Mu turned around, knelt down in front of Mo Li with a plop, bent down, and touched his forehead to the ground.

"master!"

Li Li nodded, stretched out his palm, and covered the boy's head with his warm palm.

"Hey."

Responding to Master, Li Li looked at the old man again, only to see tears overflowing from the old man's eyes, and he looked at Jiu Mu with reluctance in his eyes.

He touched Jiu Mu's face, his voice was extremely weak.

"Son, from now on, the master's words are the words of the grandpa. You have to listen carefully. Don't cause trouble for the master when you go outside. Remember what your grandpa taught you. Be good when you eat, don't break the plates and bowls, and don't walk around at random. Don't stand in a conspicuous place in front of others, and don't tell lies, because that will make people hate you."

"Also, don't use your power at will, listen to your master's teachings, and protect your master and friends well."

The old man talked a lot, his tears soaked the pillow, his eyes were full of reluctance and pity, Li Li squirmed the corners of his mouth to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

Sanqian and the military doctor went outside, quietly listening to the old man's last instructions.

A heart-piercing howl came from the room, Sanqian stretched out his hand, trying to open the door, but in the end he took it back.

In his dying years, he was seriously ill, so what if he continued to live?It's just lying on the sick bed, which only increases the pain.

Half a day later, on the back hill of the island, a group of naval stations stood straight.

Jiu Mu knelt in front of the lonely grave, silent.

Mo Li lit a cigarette, took a puff, put it in front of the old man's grave, and touched the top of Jiu Mu's head.

He said softly: "Old man, master and apprentice are like father and son, kid Jiumu, don't worry."

　I came to that Internet cafe to type again, to see if I could meet that book friend again, if I did meet him, I decided to fight back, and if I didn't take out his monthly pass, it would count as less for him to eat.
