Chapter 2270 Paying tribute at the grave, alone
"Has the front line finally been breached?"
I sighed!
In fact, this is what I expected!
After suffering consecutive attacks from the demon army, the human front line is already dead in name only.
Only a group of practitioners and dragon slayers are left, still defending it.
They are defending with their lives, filling the gap with their lives!
But I didn't expect that the countless corpses piled up on the front line would become a barrier to block the demons.
If it weren't for this barrier, I'm afraid the demon army would have regrouped and come to slaughter the human race again. The
human race has suffered several consecutive attacks and has long lost the ability to resist. It may be just a face-to-face encounter, and the human practitioners and dragon slayers will die in battle.
Finally, the fate of the human race is imaginable.
I took a deep breath and spit out the depression in my chest, then patted Chi Ruonan on the shoulder and said, "Everything will be fine, believe me."
The reason why I dare to say this so firmly is because I have worked hard. Zhang Wangu will definitely become a saint of the human race. He will definitely come at the most critical moment of the human race and lead the human race to prosperity!
"Come out for a walk with me. I want to burn a stick of incense for the predecessor Chi Zhan!"
"Yeah!" Chi Ruonan nodded gently, then took my hand and took me out of the room.
It was morning at this moment, and the sun in the east was shining on the earth, filling the land with warmth.
The people in the village had already gotten up and started working.
The emergency on the human front made them anxious, and they began to harvest food frantically, ready to follow the dragon slayers and practitioners on their escape journey!
At this moment, seeing me and Chi Ruonan coming out together, both men and women stopped what they were doing and looked at me sideways.
"Ruonan, is your man okay?"
"Brother Bairen, is he awake?"
"Zhang Bairen, good job, you are worthy of being my aunt in Luoxia Village!"
"Ruonan, you must serve Bairen well, otherwise don't blame your sister for stealing your man!"
A group of people laughed and greeted me, but then the laughing expressions on their faces disappeared, replaced by solemn expressions.
Then!
Everyone turned to me in unison and bowed deeply to me!
"Thank you for your contribution to the human race in this era!"
Everyone said in unison.
I looked at this scene, and for some reason, my eyes were inexplicably red.
In my era, I also did a lot for the human race, but at the beginning, I didn't even get the support of many sects. As for the common people, they didn't even know who I was, because ordinary people just live ordinary lives and don't know that in those invisible corners, there are already people who are carrying the burden for them.
And at this moment, I have been recognized by the people of this era. This recognition makes me feel proud.
It also makes me more attached to this era.
My eyes were hot, and then I clasped my fists to everyone.
"I just did what I was supposed to do, and... without the help of Senior Chi Zhan and Ruonan, I would not have been able to kill the dragon. Senior Chi Zhan and Ruonan should take the credit for killing the dragon, so I feel ashamed to pay this respect to you!"
"Haha, don't be humble, brother Bai Ren. Do you know what the monster tribe said about you?"
"The monster tribe said that you can summon thousands of tombstones with just a stretch of your hand, and each tombstone contains an evil spirit. When you breathe in and out, what comes out is not air, but lightning. Some monster tribesmen say that you are the reincarnation of the god of death, who can control life and death. Some even say that you are the god of thunder who has descended to this land..."
"Hey, brother, you are so amazing in the demon tribe, but I don't see what's so special about you. Do you want to come to my room tonight so I can study you carefully, haha!"
"Sister Hua, what are you talking about!" Chi Ruonan rolled her eyes at the woman who still had the charm of a wife, then took my hand and ran out of the village.
Behind me, there was a burst of laughter from a group of women.
"Don't be angry. Women in this era are very... very brave. After all, the human race is too weak in this era, and the population is declining rapidly. If women are more conservative, they may not even find a man. Moreover, in this era, the women of the strong never care that the strong have other women, because in this era, reproduction is also a big deal. And the blood of the strong must be passed down, otherwise, it will be a big loss for the human race!"
As I was talking, Chi Ruonan and I had already come to the back of the village.
There, there are graves one after another, and in front of a brand new grave, there are countless flowers. A woman in white clothes, with a sad look, is holding a wine gourd, sitting in the sea of flowers, just silently staring at the tombstone and drinking alone.
This woman is very beautiful. Even though she is nearly 20 years older than me, she still has a charming demeanor, especially the temperament that has been precipitated by the years, which is not comparable to that of young women.
"Mom!" Chi Ruonan walked over and called softly.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Chi Ruonan with a listless look, and then looked at me again.
"You are here!" She took another sip of wine, then slowly stood up and said in an extremely tired voice: "You can talk to him!"
After that, her figure flashed, and this woman who seemed to have aged ten years overnight left this place directly.
Only a strong wind was left, blowing the sea of flowers.
"Mom has been here with Dad these two days!" Chi Ruonan said lightly: "Mom is a famous beauty in several villages. She got together with Dad when she was a girl. Time passed quietly. In a blink of an eye, the two have been together for 25 years. They are inseparable on weekdays and are recognized as a fairy couple. But after Dad left, Mom has been...alone, sitting in front of Dad's grave every day, accompanied by Qingyue strong wine!"
As she said, Chi Ruonan wiped her tears, walked through the sea of flowers, and came to Chi Zhan's grave.
"Dad, I brought Bairen to see you!" Chi Ruonan squatted down and handed me a stick of incense.
I took the candle, lit it, and bowed deeply to Chi Zhan's grave.
"Senior, I will do my best to take good care of Ruonan!" I whispered, "Although I don't belong to this era, Ruonan makes me feel a sense of belonging in this era. Before the human race has a stable life, I will not abandon Ruonan!" After
saying that, I inserted the incense candle in front of the tombstone.
