Chapter 1: The Vanishing Mother

Next Chapter

"It's time to go back!" a mysterious man with a thin appearance and an elegant temperament stood on a steep mountain peak and looked into the distance, full of regret and unwillingness.

"Everything here~~~ Hehe, forget it!" The man smiled bitterly, looked back at the bustling city under the mountain, his eyes gradually firmed, and he clenched his fists, as if he was making an oath: "I will definitely come back......!"

Then the man turned and walked towards the dark woods, his figure was so tall and tough, and he gradually disappeared in the darkness......

Three months later, in a village surrounded by mountains......

The wind was blowing, the leaves were blowing, and the majestic waterfall was slanting down.

In a solemn temple, a twilight old man with a white beard but a straight waist, with bright eyes, was tirelessly telling the children below the story that he had told countless times but was familiar with it.

"Kids, you know, our world is so strange and so new. Strange fish the size of an island are said to eat them. Also, there are many secret realms that cannot be explained in the world, and there are other humans living there who are completely different from humans! Animals that are more than ten meters tall or even dozens of meters tall can eat people!" After speaking, he made a hungry wolf pounce on food, which was slightly funny. The children below were naturally taken aback and scolded immaturely. The old man didn't think so, and continued to raise his head slightly, as if he was reminiscing about something, and continued to sigh: "There are also some small people who are only the size of our palms, innocent and friendly with people. But don't underestimate them, they are petite, but they are extremely powerful, and they are so fast that the average human eye can't see them......"

"Grandpa, is there anything else interesting?" The eyes of a child below lit up, although he listened to the old man's story every day, everyone worked tirelessly.

"Hmm......" The old man pondered for a moment, then cracked his mouth and smiled, "It is said that someone has seen ghosts......

The old man looked like a god, dancing and talking vividly over and over again, and the children were also driven by the old man's antics and laughter, and there was constant laughter and childish laughter and scolding, and every child fantasized about the beauty and novelty of this world. And the old man also let them know the secrets and dangers of this world.

The crowd in the temple was still in high spirits. Outside the temple, there was a sudden 'bang', and the door of the temple was suddenly opened, and a violent wind poured into it in an instant. Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound and looked in the direction of the door. And in the midst of the fierce wind, stood a soaking wet young man, his hair was blown messy by the strong wind, and his dark green uniform had been blown out of shape. But his posture was still upright, but his eyes were full of grievances, and there was still a clear anger in the night sky.

"Grandpa Deng, my mother... Where have you been?" said the young man hoarsely, staring directly at the old man in the temple.

"Brother Tian?" It was not the old man who spoke, but one of the children listening to the story, and his tone was full of surprise.

"Xiao Tian ......" The old man was not surprised, as if he had known that this scene would happen, and his face was full of embarrassment: "Your mother, she... She's out, and I... I couldn't stop her......" said the old man, not daring to look at the young man.

"Why?" the young man said in a low tone, his expression was in a trance, and he muttered to himself, "Did you go to find that man?"

This young man is Luo Tian, who gave up his position in the army three months ago because of the entrustment of an old man and the conspiracy of some people, so he rushed home.

I finally rushed home, but when I heard such news, I would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

This village is a small village called Deng Village, Luo Tian has lived here since he was a child, until his 18th birthday, his mother suddenly asked him to go to the kingdom to join the army, and told Luo Tian some secrets......

The man Luo Tian said was his father, and in addition to the bloodline, there was only one name left for Luo Tian, a name that Luo Tian didn't know.

And the name Luo Tian was only re-named by his mother for him when he was very young. Luo Tian's mother's name is Luo Shuya, and Luo Tian follows his mother's surname.

Luo Tian only has a grudge against his so-called father, and only thinks that he is an irresponsible man who abandons his wife and children.

And Luo Tian followed his mother's request to join the royal family and joined the army, and has been fighting for the kingdom since he was 18 years old.

It is worth mentioning that the person who guaranteed Luo Tian to join the army was the village chief of the village, that is, the grandfather Deng Tai mentioned by Luo Tian. Deng Tai sent Luo Tian to the kingdom to join the army, which was also requested by Luo Shuya, and Luo Tian has always suspected Deng Tai's identity, which is not just the village chief of a small village. I only learned Deng Tai's identity in the army, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.

"Alas, your mother has been gone for more than a month, and I can't tell you! By the way, didn't you join the army in the kingdom? Why did you come back suddenly, did something happen?" Deng Tai wondered.

"If something happens, I probably won't go back in the future......" Luo Tian replied, an inexplicable glint flashing in his eyes.

"Why, didn't you do a good job, why didn't you go back?" Deng Tai said anxiously, but Luo Tian could see from his expression that he was not really in a hurry. At least it shows that Deng Tai knew about Luo Tian's removal from the army, which made Luo Tian's doubts deeper......

"I don't want to mention this for now, I just want to get my mother back, and I don't want to worry about anything else. Luo Tian interrupted Deng Tai's words, turned around and walked slowly outside.

"Little God, where are you going to find it!" Deng Tai hurriedly stopped Luo Tian and continued: "Don't be in a hurry, your mother has been gone for more than a month, where are you going to find it now? Why don't you stay at home for one night, figure out the situation and make a plan before going, okay?" Grandpa Deng's tone was full of pleading.

Luo Tian stood in place, looking up at the dark sky, thinking about a strange question. Three months ago, an old man said some unbelievable things to Luo Tian, so he resigned from the army, otherwise those small things would not be enough for Luo Tian to be removed from the army.

And back in this hometown full of childhood memories, my mother left my hometown a month ago, is there some connection between the two?

After thinking for a while, Luo Tian turned his head sideways and said 'yes' to Deng Tai, and then walked out of the temple and disappeared into the storm.

"Alas......" Deng Tai sighed and said to the young man next to him: "Guangyang, go and send some food to your brother Tian." After a long journey, he should be hungry. ”

"Okay!" Deng Guangyang responded, then took the hot food and ran out happily with an umbrella.

Deng Guangyang, Deng Tai's grandson, and Luo Tian have known each other since childhood. Among the children of the same generation, Luo Tian has always been the eldest of the children, whether it is going to other people's orchards to steal things or to peek at Widow Liu's bath or something, Luo Tian is the leader.

Those children have always been a headache for the people in the village, and now, except for Deng Guangyang, who is still in the village, the rest of the people are wandering outside. This may be because of Deng Tai's relationship, and he wants Deng Guangyang to learn his skills and then go out.

And although Luo Tian is not Deng Tai's own grandson, he is no different from his relatives. So Luo Luotian knew that Deng Tai had a lot of things to hide from him, and he didn't have the idea of asking Deng Tai questions. Because Luo Tian knew that Deng Tai would not harm him.

Deng Guangyang naturally knew that the relationship between the two of them was very good, and as Deng Tai's own grandson, he didn't mind his grandfather's actions. Naturally, I know that Deng Tai has done a lot of things for Luo Tian and paved a lot of roads. But not jealous at all. Because in Deng Guangyang's heart, Luo Tian is closer than his eldest brother.

"Kids, play here, don't run out. It's windy and rainy, and you'll catch a cold," Deng Tai said to the children, but his eyes were looking in the direction where the two left.

Then he shook his head, walked back to the inner courtyard, looked at the inky sky in a daze, and muttered to the sky: "Child, I don't know if it was the creation of people, or if you should have endured all this! What you want to do is probably take that road, the road of no return that will be reviled by the world......"

Deng Tai flashed tears and continued: "Shu Ya, I really can't stop this kid, and I don't want to stop him, I... I'm sorry for you. But after all, Xiao God is the flesh and blood of that man, and it must be ...... Alas!" The eyes that looked to the sky slowly closed, and everything seemed to be calm......
