Chapter 135 Homecoming

Lu Lie finally made his own decision, and he chose to stay in this world. If it was true, as Li Yuan said, there was no difference between reality and illusion. Then, Lu Lie would rather choose a reality that was more gentle to him, a world without giant trees, no demons, and no death threatened his existence.

On the way back, he felt relieved. It ended, and this nightmare life finally ended until now. On that snowy night fourteen years ago, witnessed his family and brother being killed by horse thieves one by one, losing their family and home. From then on, he wandered around the world and came to Zhushi Town, but was forced to climb up a giant tree, and survived a series of inhuman lives and humans who were more terrifying than monsters. If a person's life is a painting, some people live as a landscape, some people choose to become oil paintings, while Lu Lie's life is a black ink painting with no white space; if a person's life is a novel, then Lu Lie's life is a black humor that even the most ridiculous horror novelist cannot write.

Now, he finally has his parents who love him, his own home, and even a childhood sweetheart and a bride who is kissed by a child. He no longer has to worry about living like he used to be, no longer has to be in a hurry, no longer has to worry about whether he can see tomorrow's sun.

Speaking of which... should he still thank this giant tree?

If I hadn't been forced to climb this giant tree, how could I get on the elevator and have the opportunity to make a wish in front of the time and space machine? If I hadn't experienced this nightmarish journey, I might have been one of the 30 million homeless people in Jiangbei for the rest of my life, and finally died of nameless on a snowy night because I couldn't stand the freezing.

Lu Lie laughed at himself.

But, by the way, is the top of the giant tree really just a time and space machine?

Is what I see the real giant tree?

No matter what, who knows? Although there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, life is not a novel, and every question that cannot be encountered will eventually be unveiled. Anyway, Lu Lie never wants to go back in that ghost place.

When he was about to reach his own village, Lu Lie's eyes suddenly changed. Because he saw that a huge fog was ignited in the direction of the distant village.

It seemed like it was on fire.

“That’s…”

Lu Lie didn't know what happened in the short day and night when he left his village. Or was he being involved in some new time and space line because of the chaos of the time and space chain? But the possibility of the latter is not very high, because every time the time and space line change drastically, the next time will be delayed. Moreover, as Lu Lie stays in this world longer and longer, his time and space line will change less and less, and finally it will completely coincide with this type of normal time and space line.

Lu Lie's heart thumped. For the first time in his life, he felt so fearful. He was afraid that his family, whom he had finally obtained, would be gone again. He was afraid that he had finally made a decision, but in the end he found that it was still just a mirage.

After strideing to the end, Lu Lie ran wildly. As he got closer and closer to his village, Lu Lie gradually saw sporadic fires flashing in the black fog, and the choking smoke accompanied his rush, becoming more and more intense. After passing through obstacles, Lu Lie finally saw what he was most worried about—

A huge fire ignited above Lujia Village!

The fire was so amazing that it had already enveloped most of the village. Most of the houses of the villagers in Lujia Village were made of wooden stakes and straw, mixed with a little stone slab. A little spark could burn half of the sky in the blink of an eye, let alone such a surging fire? It is unrealistic to go out first to extinguish the huge fire. You can only break into the fire first and save one.

Why did such a terrible fire ignite in a good village?

Lu Lie was worried about his parents at this moment, eager to save people, and did not think so much. He immediately ignored his legs that were already painful and forced to speed up, wanting to get close to the village to see what happened. When he was less than a thousand steps away from the village, the thick black smoke had already made his eyes start to moisten slightly. At this time, he heard a faint voice.

Lu Lie gradually slowed down and even avoided the obstacle on one side.

If others encounter this situation, they will only say that there are survivors in the fire, and they will definitely speed up their pace and rush into the village to try to save people. However, Lu Lie is agile and suspicious person by nature, and his mind is not comparable to ordinary people? - In the case of extreme urgency, he still has time to think in his heart: The voices under the fire are either shouting for help at the top of his lungs or roaring hard to command the rescue. Occasionally, people who are dying sit and wait for death, and the slightest sounds made have long been swallowed by the ruthless fire. However, although the voices he heard just now were sparse and not clear. But what he could be sure of was that the voice was calm and his speaking speed was normal, and it was not like the sounds made when he was trapped in the fire scene.

Could it be that there is another hidden secret in the fire in this village.

Lu Lie was anxious, but he suppressed the restlessness in his heart, pressed his body firmly behind a huge rock, and watched it change.

But when he thought that his only two relatives in this world were still missing in the fire, how could he calm down? Lu Lie could only keep reminding himself in his heart: Wait for a moment, and endure for a moment! If there is no change after a while, he will rush into the fire to find his parents. Even if he fights for this life, he will save the two elders!

But after a moment, something really happened.

I heard the noises coming from the opposite side of the fire, the sound of horse hooves treading on the ground, the sound of metal hitting, the call for help from children and women, and countless rough voices of laughter with smug laughter...

"Horse thief!"

Suddenly, Lu Lie thought of something extremely terrible, his pupils shrank into two points, and his face became extremely ferocious.

It’s a horse thief! It must be a group of damn horse thieves who attacked their village and set fire to this piece of house.

Hell, hell!

Lu Lie punched the stone wall on one side, and his two rows of teeth clattered and his eyes were almost bleeding. He would never have thought: Fourteen years ago, a group of horse thieves completely changed their destiny. Fourteen years later, he thought everything could be back on track, but he didn't expect that another group of horse thieves wanted to take everything away from him!
