Chapter 79 Take Your Dirty Feet Off
The door of the wooden house was pushed open and three people walked out.
The villagers quickly gathered together again, looking aggressive, glaring and pointing at Lin Qi, who had changed into clean clothes, as if they were about to rush up and punch him twice.
"That's enough! Stop it." Lin Qi stepped forward, glanced at everyone, and said unhappily, "I just washed once, I don't want to wash it again!"
"How dare you..." The villagers were obviously enraged.
“That’s enough!”
The old village chief angrily shouted, "What has happened? Have you forgotten how powerful his mother was?"
When the villagers mentioned that woman, they suddenly calmed down a little.
"Do you know how many vicious pirates this kid Lin Qi has hunted on the sea? Don't think of them one by one, you will lose count! If this kid wants to mess with you, what will your two or three moves mean?"
The villagers were a little skeptical. “Is he that powerful?” “How old is he?”
Not everyone reads newspapers.
No wonder he has so much strength... But those people who were thrown by Lynch suddenly realized in shame and anger, and recalled the fierce fighting power of the woman named Lily before she fell ill. They also felt that it was reasonable for Lynch to be so skilled.
The old village chief cursed: "Before Lily passed away, did she ever blame Lin Qi even a little bit? Instead, you are the ones who are busy with trivial matters! You think you are meddling in other people's family affairs..."
The villagers were not convinced and retorted: "This kid is such a bastard and refuses to repent, but we can't beat him or scold him?"
"He's already died once!" the old man shouted.
The villagers fell silent and looked at each other...
The old village chief sighed, "How old was he when he left home? For an eight-year-old child, it was not easy to find medicine to cure the disease, let alone survive in this vast ocean full of pirates... Who among you dares to say that you have the courage to rush to such a cruel sea for your family?" He swept his eyes over the group of villagers in front of him, and wherever he looked, everyone avoided his gaze.
"Lin Qi almost died in the sea... He survived by chance, but he also lost a lot of memories!" The old village chief sighed, "I think maybe it was his deceased mother's blessing that gave him another life... And made him forget the heavy past that we didn't want him to bear!" The old man said in a hoarse voice in the silence, "This child allowed you to beat and scold him all the way, so he has admitted his mistakes... Now that you have vented your anger, just go away!"
In a complex atmosphere of silence, guilt, or regret... everyone looked at Lynch and left silently.
"Let's go."
Lin Qi ignored these people. Holding Lily's letter in his hand, he walked straight towards the back mountain in the east.
…
After passing a wooden signpost at the foot of the mountain, Lynch and his two companions continued forward.
The setting sun sank lower, making the outline of the mountains as red as blood.
…
From a distance, Lynch saw a small cleared space surrounded by wild flowers.
Lily's Tomb.
The old village chief and Robin stopped a few steps behind, allowing Lynch to go forward alone.
Snap...
"BIB" picked two white wild flowers and placed them right into Lynch's outstretched hand.
Lynch came to the grave and looked at the tombstone in front of him. There was Lily's name written on it and a photo of her laughing cheerfully, vaguely looking like she was in good health before she fell ill.
"Hello."
Lynch placed two flowers in front of the monument.
He sat down right there and waved the letter in his hand towards the photo of the woman on the tombstone. "So, I'll open it and read it?"
A breeze blew past the foot of the mountain, shaking the petals.
"Just assume that you agree, big sister." Lin Qi said in the breeze, and opened the envelope casually, "Look, what is written for your precious son..."
When the letter was spread out, the first thing I saw was a few dry tear marks of varying depths on the letter paper.
“…”
Lin Qi focused his eyes and looked at the first line of words.
"Mom is from the Land of Flowers."
Very good, this first sentence surprised me a little... Lynch held the letter, and when he heard that the woman was very strong before she got sick, he thought she was from Amazon Lily, the Kingdom of Women on Nine Snake Island!
After all, the female warriors of Nine Snake Island are very fierce, and the national warriors who can board the ship of the Nine Snake Pirates all master the Armament Haki.
Many women on the Nine Snakes Island were named after flowers. For example, Sanda Sonya was named after the palace lantern lily; Marigrude was named after the marigold; Margaret was named after the daisy; there was also one named Platycodon; even Granny Zha was named after the flame lily... With the portable memory bank "BIB", Lynch could find it by just flipping through the posts on the forums he had read in his previous life.
The Emperor of the Kingdom of Women also has a so-called terminal illness called "lovesickness".
It just happens to correspond to Lily's incurable disease...
Unexpectedly, the first sentence in the letter stated that Lily actually came from the Kingdom of Flowers in the West Sea... That is, the hometown of the old man with the green pepper whose pointed head was dented by Garp's punch and then popped out by Luffy's punch in the Dressrosa arc, and the hometown of Old Cai who kicked his grandfather's pointed head crooked and happily got rid of singleness with Baby-5...
The Kingdom of Flowers... Is it a place based on China? Thinking this way, Lin Qi continued to read the letter left by Lily.
"I didn't mean to hide it from others... but they all asked! Although the ancient custom of naming after flowers is not very popular in the Kingdom of Flowers, I'm still very unhappy... so, hmm, I won't tell them."
Lynch was a little surprised when he read it. He didn't expect that the letter written by this elder sister named Lily to her son would be written in this style.
Thinking of the scene where she dragged her sick body to write a letter...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the first few paragraphs, Lily's handwriting was steady, still chattering about the trivialities of life. But slowly, perhaps due to the worsening of her illness, Lily no longer had the energy to write down all the things she had to say...
"Mom will tell you a story about the Kingdom of Flowers~"
"Once upon a time, in ancient times anyway, there was a princess named Lily in the Kingdom of Flowers - yes, the same name as your mother! Great, right? Princess Lily was the treasure of the Kingdom of Flowers, but in order to retrieve the national treasure of the Kingdom of Flowers, she bravely went to the endless sea. Well, that's the end of the story!"
"Mom has admired this princess with the same name as me since she was a child, so she foolishly sneaked out to sea... What a headache, I didn't expect you to run away too, Lin Qi. Mom should have stayed in the Kingdom of Flowers!"
"But if you don't come out, there will be no you, Lynch. So this is also good. Hmm..."
Lin Qi's eyes passed over the mottled tear marks that slightly blurred the handwriting. The further he looked, the more Lily's handwriting seemed to be weaker and more frivolous...
"Although mom didn't find the national treasure of the Kingdom of Flowers, but now I have you! This trip was worthwhile!..."
Lily's handwriting became increasingly messy, with some parts even making no sense, with each sentence coming out without any clue, as if she knew she had little time left and her thoughts were unclear, so she was in a hurry to write down what she wanted to say.
"What mom taught you is the secret Eight Punch Fist of the Kingdom of Flowers... This is a very powerful fist. If you really master it, you will definitely become a great person, Lin Qi. You must protect mom when the time comes..."
"Ah, there's no such time... What a pity!"
"I regret it so much, Lynch. If I had known earlier, I would have brought you to the Kingdom of Flowers... I had originally planned to wait until you grew up... I had so many plans. I haven't seen you grow up yet, haven't seen you become a real man yet... Ah, it doesn't matter if you're not a man, mom is not a man. Just be happy!..."
"If you can see this letter, please go back and check on my mom's behalf in the future, okay..."
"..."
The handwriting became increasingly messy, forming a jumbled mess. The last stroke was slanted, and the letter came to an abrupt end here.
Lily's hand holding the pen suddenly loosened...Lynch seemed to be able to imagine such a scene.
"Is Lynch okay..." Robin looked at Lynch who was sitting in front of the tombstone reading a letter not far away.
"Alas!" The old village chief sighed softly and looked up at the setting sun. "Huh?" He seemed to see a dark shadow passing by.
“What a pity!”
Lin Qi put down the letter, sat in front of the tomb, looked at the smiling woman in the photo on the tombstone, and laughed, "The Kingdom of Flowers? I'm quite interested. I'll definitely go and see it if I have the chance in the future!"
“Hahaha, is that so…”
At this moment, along with these words falling from above his head, a huge figure slowly fell in front of Lin Qi.
Lafayette! A flash of lightning flashed through Lynch's mind. This voice and this figure made the original owner's lingering memory fragments mixed with fear and shadows surge into his mind.
"But I think it's more appropriate for you to be buried here."
The pale-faced "Devil Sheriff" Lafayette raised the corners of his blood-red lips, stretched out his arms like a pair of pure white broad wings, and squatted on the top of the stone tablet.
Lin Qi said: "Take off your dirty feet."
This is the last chapter of the public chapter. It will be on the shelves at 12 noon tomorrow! I will write a comment later... I will think about how to sell pity and make people cry...
