Chapter 872 – Dream Telling

　　”Is Mr. Chen sure about entering that fishing village?”

　　”His old man is still figuring it out, but he said that it seems to involve the Laws of Time, and the probability of being able to enter it is not high.”

　　Laws of time?

　　Zuo Qing’s expression immediately became grave.

　　Once a law was involved, it meant that the matter was beyond the scope of what humans could handle, and even if it was a human ceiling, without ascending to the divine realm to master the law, it would simply be impossible to shake the law.

　　As for Wang Mian, the only one in Da Xia who possessed the Time God Ruins, he was still nowhere to be found at this moment.

　　Even if Wang Mian came back, he might not be able to do anything with this law, the divine market that controls time and the law of time are two levels of existence, not to mention that Wang Mian is still only at the peak of the “Klein” realm, so it’s impossible to break the law of time.

　　Just as Zuo Qing was pondering, a night watchman walked quickly and handed over the document in his hand to him.

　　”Commander Zuo, we’ve found it.”

　　”Found Chen Lu’s intersection with that fishing village?”

　　”Well, Chen Lu’s entry into the Nightwatchman was already more than fifty years ago, the age is too far back, it’s more troublesome to find his file, but I still found it.”

　　Commander Zuo took the file and carefully flipped through it.

　　”Chen Lu’s hometown is a small fishing village in Ningchang County, and from the address he filled out back then, it matches the location of the fishing village this time.”

　　”He walked out from that fishing village?” Zuo Qing opened his mouth in surprise.

　　”That’s right, when the Night Watch recruited new recruits back then, in order to verify the identity of the recruits, they also sent people to visit that fishing village, and at that time, they didn’t find anything unusual, and there are some photographs and conversation records in the documents about that fishing village.”

　　Zuo Qing pulled out a few old photos from the file and flipped through them one by one, the vast majority of them were photos of the young Chen Lu with his father Chen Gou, the two of them standing on a fishing boat, one of them carrying a fish, smiling brightly.

　　”It doesn’t look like there’s anything wrong ……,” Zuo Qing spoke in puzzlement, “That is to say, at the time Chen Lu entered the Nightwatchman, that fishing village hadn’t yet undergone a mutation?”

　　”That’s right.”

　　”Also, if that fishing village had problems back then, then Chen Lu wouldn’t have been able to walk out of it.” Zuo Qing nodded and flipped over the last photo, his eyebrows slightly raised.

　　Among all the photos, that was the only one of the three together, besides the young Chen Lu, and the middle-aged Chen Gou, there was also an old man lying on a rocking chair, holding a ball of bushels in his hands, looking at the camera unwillingly, his expression archaic and serious.

　　”Who is this?” Zuo Qing asked, pointing at the old man.

　　”It’s Chen Lu’s grandfather, Chen Yangrong.”

　　Zuo Qing nodded and read all the documents, once again falling into deep thought.

　　”Chen Lu for so many years, has he ever gone home to see?”

　　”No, he never went back.”

　　”Strange ……”

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　”If at the time Chen Lu left home, the fishing village hadn’t yet undergone a mutation, and Chen Lu hadn’t gone back once in these fifty years …… then how did he know that something had happened in the fishing village? What makes him think that as long as [Mask] and [Night Curtain] enter the fishing village afterward, they will surely die?”

　　The fishing village.

　　The sunlight poured over the sparkling sea, and snow-white waves tumbled and washed up on the shore, rushing the fishing boats on the shore and shaking them slightly.

　　A few fishermen came out from the village, skillfully preparing their tools for the sea, greeting them with smiles as they busied themselves:

　　”Erzhu Zi, you’re going out to sea today too?”

　　”Yes, it’s a pity not to go out to sea on such a good day.”

　　”That’s right, let’s drive as far as possible today and try to make a big profit.”

　　”What’s the matter? Are you short of cash these days?”

　　”I think so. My wife is about to give birth soon. ……”

　　”Oh yo, congratulations!”

　　”Eh, Lao Gou, you’re not going out today?”

　　At the side of the moored fishing boat, Chen Gou was wearing a rough linen suit, standing alone before the waves, looking at the distant sea in a daze.

　　Upon hearing the call of the other fishermen, Chen Gou came back to his senses, and after a moment of silence, he still shook his head, “No, you guys go ahead.”

　　The other fishermen looked at each other, seemed to be a bit entangled, in the end there was still someone who opened his mouth to persuade: “Lao Gou ah …… or to look at it openly, to do our profession is like this, who does not know which day to go out to sea can not come back, but no matter what, we also have to continue to live. ”

　　Seeing Chen Gou still standing there looking at the sea in a daze, the other fishermen shook their heads helplessly and drove their fishing boats out to sea together.

　　”Uncle Chen.”

　　A voice came from behind Chen Gou.

　　He turned back, only to see that An Qingyu had walked behind him at some point, smiling faintly at him.

　　”It’s you?” Chen Gou spoke with some surprise, “Didn’t you leave this morning?”

　　”Anyway, it’s still early in the day, I’m not in a hurry to go back, I haven’t seen a fishing village since I grew up, I thought I’d take a few more looks.” An Qingyu naturally sat down on the shore next to Chen Gou.

　　Chen Gou sized up An Qingyu for a few moments and nodded slightly, “Looking at your clothes, you do look like a child of a big family in the city, it’s normal that you haven’t seen fishing at sea.”

　　”Uncle Chen, they all went out to sea for fishing, why don’t you go?”

　　Chen Gou did not answer, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it in his mouth, inhaling deeply, the white smoke escaped along with his breath and dissipated in the sea breeze, he gazed at the distant sea and slowly opened his mouth:

　　”A few days ago, my father and I went out to sea to fish, encountered wind and waves, the boat was overturned …… I was lucky enough to be fished out by other villagers’ fishing boats, but my father did not.”

　　”…… Condolences.” An Qingyu also did not know how to comfort Chen Gou, and in the end could only say these two words.

　　Afterward, he gave Chen Gou a somewhat puzzled look, and after a moment of hesitation, he still asked, “Uncle Chen, your father should be very old, right? At this age, does he still need to go out to sea to fish?”

　　”No, his old man hasn’t gone out to sea for many years.” Chen Gou shook his head, “Didn’t I tell you that I have a son who went outside to make a name for himself?”

　　”Uh-huh.”

　　”Two days ago he wrote a letter, said he went to be a soldier of some kind, but also said that the food in the camp is not very good, my father heard that he went to be a soldier, happy very happy, on the side of the sea to personally catch a few big fish for him, send over to him to improve the food …… But who knows, this go, never come back. ”

　　An Qingyu fell into silence.

　　”In fact, it’s really no big deal.” Chen Gou vicissitudes of the opening, “Going out to sea fishing, was originally in the gamble of life, I have seen countless skillful fishermen buried in the sea, we were born in the sea, raised in the sea, and ultimately buried in the sea, it is also considered to be a good place to go ……”

　　Chen Gou paused and continued, “But, this time is different.”

　　”Where is different?”

　　”Uh-huh.” Chen Gou slowly opened his mouth, “These two days …… my father gave me a dream.”
