Chapter 3330: A fire

Luffy smiled, "In fact, this old man is already weird, but now he has come up with a new stalk of 68 years old and a minor child at home. It is really surprising."
Mo Yue laughed, "It's normal for a man to have children at the age of sixty. The key is a woman. Whether a woman can give birth to a child is followed by menstruation. Once a woman has menopause, she is completely infertile. But men are different. Even if you’re eighty years old, as long as your sperm concentration is sufficient, you can still be a father."
Luffy smiled, "Oh, it seems that this is the difference between men and women."
Mo Yue nodded, "Yes, so after a certain age, women will gradually age, and men may live younger and younger. Isn't there a saying that men have forty-one flowers?"
The village chief coughed and coughed, "Okay. You two stop and listen to me to continue. Seeing that the old man's face is ugly, Tie Zhu knew that he had said something wrong, but he was curious that this topic should not be worth it. Be so angry, but at this time, in this deserted mountain, only him and the weird old man. What Tie Zhu is worried about is that if he offends the old man, he ran away, leaving himself alone, and then trapped in the mountain. If you don’t go, wouldn’t it be even more terrifying. So at this moment, in order to hold the old man, he had to continue to find the topic. However, the normal approach to a person should start with the person’s family. But now it seems that the old man Obviously, his family is a topic that the old man doesn’t want to bring up. It seems a bit troublesome to find a new topic set. After all, he doesn’t know anything about this old man. Tie Zhu turned his face and looked around, as if he could find out what could cause it. The subject matter quickly settled on the broken houses in front of him. Suddenly he remembered what the old man said before, so he asked, alas, old man, how do you know that these broken houses are more than 100 years old? Where is a small village? The old man smiled, because I am a person from this village. Tie Zhu heard such an answer and almost cried out in shock, but when he saw the old man looking at him gloomily, he immediately I was so scared that I covered my mouth and swallowed that sound abruptly, but more questions came out in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask, old man, you said you are from this small village , Then what did this village look like before it was abandoned? The old man looked at the broken houses, and suddenly a sweet smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. In the past, this village was very lively and there were many people living in it. The villagers were busy every day. Busy people, everyone is greedy for getting up early, making money to support the family, very hard, but very happy. At that time, I got up early every day and stood on the side of the road waiting for work. Tie Zhu smiled bitterly, I said, old man, you are pulling a rickshaw Yes, you said that you get up early every day and go to the roadside to wait for work, but there are farmers in the village. Where can the farmers have the money to take a rickshaw? The old man laughed, you don’t know anything about it. There used to be many business owners in this village. Their home is in the village. They go to the city during the day to do business and go home at night. What I make is not the villagers’ money, but those of the little bosses. Tie Zhu heard this, and couldn’t help asking, um I remember that the neighborhood here has been open to traffic long ago. There is a bus stop outside the village. There are buses passing by the station every morning. Those little bosses who want to go into the city to do business, just take the bus. What about the rickshaw? The old man rolled his eyes and coughed and coughed. Our village is different from other villages. There is no bus passing by at the entrance of the village. If you want to enter the city, you can only take my rickshaw. Tie Zhu saw that the old man was unhappy. I didn’t dare to continue arguing with him, so I had to follow what he meant and said, um, that’s good, your rickshaw will have business. Tie Zhu frowned, I said the old man, according to your statement, this village was a former one. The place where the people are thriving should be a very lively place. The old man smiled and said, yes, the village used to be lively, but now it's completely finished. After speaking, he bowed his head depressed and couldn't help it. Sigh, it's gone, it's all gone. The village seemed to be booming yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, everything was gone. Seeing the old man's expression in distress, Tie Zhu couldn't help but regained his curiosity, and asked in a low voice, old man, how did this village become like this? The old man smiled bitterly. A fire burned the entire village. If you don't believe it, take a closer look at those walls to see if there are traces of the fire. Hearing this, Tie Zhu was naturally frightened. However, out of curiosity, he walked to the broken house tremblingly and observed carefully. Sure enough, he found that the roof beams on the walls were dark and black, and the roof beams were exposed. The half of the rafters that came were burnt to carbon. This discovery made him even more shocked, so he stammered and asked, oh, it seems this fire is so big, the house has been burnt like this. An expression of pain appeared on the old man’s face immediately. Yes, the whole village was burnt up. At that time, the whole ground was scorched, so that in the following years, even a single weed could not grow on the ground. Tie Zhu said in shock, this—since the entire village has been burned out, what about the people in the village? Where have you been? When the old man heard this, his mouth suddenly collapsed, covering his face, and sobbing in a low voice. Everyone was dead, no one left. All burned to death. Tie Zhu said in shock, huh? I look at a large area of ​​houses here. According to my calculations, there are hundreds of people living in this village, but are they all burned to death? The old man sighed, yes, all of them were burned to death, no one was left. Tie Zhu opened his mouth wide in surprise, old man, how do you know so clearly what happened in this village? The old man smiled bitterly, I didn't tell you, I am a person from this village. I was born and raised in this village for decades. When the old man finished speaking, he looked up at the ruined wall in front of him and sighed in pain. The more Tie Zhu listened, the more wrong he got, huh? Old man, since you are from this village, you said that there was a fire in this village and the villagers were burned to death, but you, why are you still alive? The old man sneered, silly boy, your mind is so stupid, I have already told you that all the people in the village are dead, and there is no survivor. All are burned to death, but one is not left, do you understand? Hearing this, Tie Zhu felt as if he was poured down by a bucket of cold water, making his heart cold, so he pointed at the old man and stammered, that is to say, the whole village was burned to death. You are also one of those villagers who were burned to death. The old man didn't answer, just split his toothless mouth and smiled strangely. "
