There used to be a small stream not far from the cave, but now it has changed its course, and it has turned north halfway and flows down the hillside, and the exposed riverbed is already covered with grass, and if you don't look closely, you can't see any traces at all.

I don't know if any wild beasts have lived in the cave, and there are messy leftover bones everywhere, and there are no utensils left of the utensils they used back then, and clumps of weeds grow on the bluestone bed, and the earth is piled on top of it.

"Alas......" he sighed, walked a few steps along the meadow, and then got into the dirt.

Li Niang held a piece of clothing in her hand and sewed it for a while, she was slightly distracted, the needle pricked her finger, she put her finger in her mouth and sucked, and couldn't help but be stunned.

A pair of hands quietly blindfolded her. Liniang's whole body stiffened and trembled in disbelief, and the hands let go of her, jumped out of the wall behind the bed, and sat down beside her.

"Ruthless brother...... Liniang was surprised, covered her mouth with her hands, and tears fell down.

"Mother, I'm back," Brother Ruthless knelt down on his knees in front of her, "My son is not filial, which makes my mother worried." ”

"My son, my son!" Li Niang twisted her arm a few times, and finally understood that she was not dreaming, she hugged Brother Ruthless, hugged him tightly for a while, looked him up and down, touched his cheek, and muttered, "My son has grown up, and his appearance has changed so much that even his mother is almost unrecognizable." ”

Brother Ruthless was less than sixty years old when he left the country of Qingqiu, which is equivalent to seventeen years old for human beings, and he was still a young boy in the clan, but now he has returned from more than forty years of wind and frost in the human world, and his appearance has naturally changed a lot.

His originally round and somewhat baby-fat face has now become sharp, and the contours of his facial features have also taken off the soft lines of a young man, and with the resolute temperament of a young man, his height has not increased much, but his shoulders are wider, his arms are stronger, and his legs are thicker, and he is no longer the appearance of the tall and thin teenager.

Due to the rapid progress of his cultivation in the past forty years, his spirit was naturally more restrained, and his eyes and fur were shrouded in a layer of brilliance. His cultivation at this time far exceeded the realm that his clansmen could achieve, and the confidence in his speech and demeanor was naturally revealed.

"My son ......" Liniang, who was full of joy and sorrow, really wanted to cry, but she was afraid that the wall would have ears, and she heard that Brother Ruthless had come back, so she choked for a while, and suddenly her body went soft and fainted.

"Mother, mother!" Brother Ruthless didn't dare to call out loudly, took out a pill from Feng Pengyun's refining and put it into his mouth, shook her, and called in a low voice.

Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door, and a sweet female voice asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine! You can go about your business, leave me alone. Li Niang just woke up, heard the question outside the door, and hurriedly raised her voice to answer, the person outside the door wandered a few steps, and the footsteps gradually disappeared.

"Who is in our house? and she still calls you 'mother-in-law'?" asked the ruthless brother in surprise.

"Because after you left, I had no children and no daughters, so the clan decided and let us succeed the queen's son......" Li Niang sighed, she knew the temper of the ruthless brother, and looked at him worriedly as she spoke.

Sure enough, Brother Ruthless's face sank when he heard this, and he shook his hand and asked, "Who?"

"It's Cang Shu, it's his wife just now. ”

"It's him!" The queen actually agreed to ...... step-by-step" Brother Ruthless gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, trembled, and asked, "What does he do to you?"

Li Niang bowed her head and was silent, and the ruthless brother asked again, and she hesitated and said: "You also know Cangshu's temperament, he is like that, I heard that he took the initiative to ask his mother to succeed him, and he was originally going to succeed your third uncle's second son, and it is not good or bad, but fortunately, the daughter-in-law is still virtuous and knows how to be filial to her elders." ”

Brother Ruthless's gritted teeth gurgled: "I won't let him go!"

"Brother ruthless, don't be like this...... Brother ruthless has killed countless monsters in the human world, and has seen a lot of the world with Feng Pengyun, Li Niang looked at the fierce murderous aura exuded from him, and couldn't help but tremble, constantly comforting him, "Don't be like this, after all, he is your own brother." ”

"I don't have a brother like him! He must have a conspiracy," Brother Ruthless asked, holding back his anger, "What about my father?

"By the way, your father doesn't know how happy he will be when he sees you coming back!I'll go to him and come back!" Li Niang cut her hair in the mirror, and then turned back worriedly and asked Brother Ruthless, "Look at me, I am so happy, blushing like this, will others see it?"

Brother Ruthless shook his head with a smile, Liniang told him a few words and went out, Brother Ruthless walked around the house a few times and lay on his parents' bed. He had long been accustomed to the life of heaven and earth, and the cramped houses of his people made him feel restrained.

"As long as I can be with my father and mother, as long as the clansmen can accept me, even if I don't see the light of day for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter if I live underground......" Until now, Brother Lu still thinks that he has done nothing wrong, he has always thought that after more than forty years, the clansmen will calm down and should be able to accept his return.

Li Niang dragged the half-drunk Emperor Zhuan to the house, the Emperor Zhuan who had been muttering in his mouth, as soon as he saw the ruthless brother lying on the bed, he was immediately stunned, he stumbled excitedly, grabbed Liniang's hand to stand firmly, he rubbed his eyes, touched his head again, and then "snapped" and slapped himself a few times.

"Daddy. Brother Ruthless hurriedly rushed over and grabbed his hand.

"Ao'er, is the dream a dream......" Emperor Zhuan held Brother Ruthless's hand hard, but his hand kept trembling without obeying the call, and his lips trembled, "Ao'er is really back? Am I drunk?"

"Dad, I'm back, it's not a dream," Brother Ruthless put his arm around his father's shoulder, "Look at it, it's your son who is back, Dad, I want to kill you." ”

"Ao'er, my son!" said Emperor Zhuan, holding him tightly and stomping his feet and crying.

Brother Ruthless and his father hugged each other and cried. Only then did he realize that Emperor Zhuan had undergone such a great change in the past forty years, and he had been straight before, but now he was slightly bowed down, making him look much shorter, and now his hair was gray.

And when hugging, Brother Ruthless also clearly felt that the original strong muscles of Emperor Zhuan's lower body had relaxed, and I don't know if it was because he hadn't practiced martial arts anymore or because he had drunk too much.

"Daddy......" Brother Ruthless hugged his father with one hand and his mother with the other, "Our family is finally reunited." ”

"Ao'er...... Why are you coming back?, what about your grandfather?" Emperor Zhuan finally put away his tears and began to inquire about Brother Ruthless's life over the years.

"Grandpa died...... Brother Ruthless choked up sadly, "I think you're going crazy for what you're thinking, so I'll come back by myself." ”

Brother Ruthless talked about his life over the years, everything in the human world, the various monsters there, Feng Pengyun and Liu Xing'er, how he fought with other monsters, and his daily diet and daily life......

Time passed little by little, until he said that his mouth was really dry and he stopped talking, what he wanted to say to his parents, even if he said it for three days and three nights, he couldn't finish it, Brother Ruthless drank the tea brought by Liniang, and for a while no one in the family of three spoke, smiling at each other.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law," the Cang Shu wife began to knock on the door again, only this time her voice trembled a little.

"What's the matter?" the Emperor asked in a deep voice, just now the three of them were so excited that they got carried away, and they spoke too loudly, and it was likely that she heard them.

"I'll bring dinner in. ”

Brother Ruthless stood up and walked to the corner, nodded to his father, raised his sleeve to cast a stealth technique, and the whole person disappeared immediately, this is a spell that the underground race originally did not know, and it was taught to him by Feng Pengyun.

Emperor Zhuan opened the door, and a woman of the clan walked in with a tray full of food in her hand, she kept her head down, but her eyes were looking around, until she put the tray on the table, and saluted the Emperor and Li Niang, then she looked up at the room and walked out quickly.

Emperor Zhuan closed the door and said worriedly, "She heard it. ”

Brother Ruthless appeared by the door in an instant, he put his hand on the door and pondered, "Dad, do you think the clan can accept me back?"

"You want to stay?" Li Niang looked at Brother Ruthless in surprise, "Aren't you on the ground?"

"Yes, I'm going to stay with my parents. Brother Ruthless nodded categorically.

"But ......" Emperor Zhuan is much more cautious and rational than their mother and son, after all, he still remembers the events of the Emperor back then, and he does not have much hope that the clan will accept the return of Brother Ruthless.

"I know it can be hard, but I'm going to at least give it a try, I really don't want to be separated from my mom and dad anymore. ”

"Silly boy, what if they come to deal with you again? Liniang burst into tears in a hurry.

"Now they can't deal with me! Brother Ruthless patted his chest confidently, but as soon as the words came out, he realized that he had lost his attachment to his clan at some point.

He misses his parents, friends and elders, but his sense of belonging to the Tu tribe and his pride in being a Tu people have disappeared unconsciously.

Emperor Zhuan and Li Niang looked at each other for a moment, and could only nod helplessly, it seemed that it had no choice but to do so.

Li Niang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and summoned Brother Ruthless to eat something first, but Brother Ruthless reached out and pulled out the silver hairpin from his hair, and even tried all the rice and soup, and carefully observed that the chopsticks were not abnormal before saying, "Be careful." ”

Wen Ziming once used him to make Bai Yang drink poison, and it can be said that he was separated from his parents and left a foreign land and other series of tortures, all of which originated from that incident, so he had to be more careful.

"Dad, mother, eat. Brother Ruthless stood at the table, first holding the rice to his parents with both hands, and then he sat down and picked up the chopsticks.

This is what he did every day when he was at home, and now after 20 years, he has no chance to serve his parents again, and the family of three is eating with tears in their eyes and smiles to hide their heads.

Before the three of them put down the dishes and chopsticks, there was another knock on the door. Li Niang opened the door, but this time it was Cang Shu standing outside the door, although after many years, his appearance has changed a lot, but even if it was burned to ashes, Brother Ruthless still recognized him at a glance.

"The patriarch and Mr. Wen Ziming are waiting outside. Cang Shu couldn't even salute, so he said to Emperor Zhuan.

"I'll go right away. Emperor Zhuan waved his hand at him, signaling him to go out first.

Cang Shu still wanted to say something, but found that at this time, the Emperor's waist was straight, and his eyes were looking at him with bright eyes, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the momentum of the Emperor, and he couldn't say anything that was originally right, so he went out after saluting.

"I'm going to talk to them. Emperor Zhuan said to Li Niang and Brother Ruthless.

"Dad, I'll go with you. "Brother ruthless didn't worry about letting him go alone.

"No, you stay with your mother," Emperor Zhuan shook his head, "Liniang, you simply pack up your clothes, and you have to plan for the worst, so you have no choice but to go to the human world with Brother Ruthless." ”

"The human world?" Li Niang was startled, immediately understood, and nodded.

"Let's go to the human realm together!" Brother Ruthless was also shocked by his father's proposal, and looking at the determined look on his parents' faces, a wave of ecstasy arose in his heart.
