Chapter 1: Eleven Years Old
Ancient vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water.
Mountains surround the trees, and the trees stand among the mountains.
The stream that runs through the mountains does not know where it originates, let alone where it flows.
After dusk, the mountains and streams are quiet, and only the majestic mountains seem to be unable to catch up with the setting sun, and stay there alone.
The years have long since washed away the lead of the dusk, and the winding road under the mountains is imprinted with the marks left by pedestrians, and it seems that with the passage of time, those imprints have not been lost.
Li Changfan carried his canvas bag and walked lonely on this road.
He was a little tired, and this thirty-two-year-old man had gone through all the vicissitudes and weather, and finally walked on the road he had left thirteen years ago.
When I left thirteen years ago, the road was paved with gravel, and when I stepped on it, I left a memory for thirteen years. This is true for travelers who come and go in the future.
Thirteen years later, the road was paved with cement, smooth and clean, like a white ribbon around the foot of the mountains, as if to tie up the majestic mountains and take them away.
It's back.
After living in the big city for three years, his lover and child suddenly disappeared, and he was left alone, and during that time, Li Changfan embarked on a journey to find his wife and children.
Ten years of desperate search for his wife, he promised the sky that if the sky had eyes, let him find his wife and children, and pay any price.
When he came home with his wife and children, less than a mile away from home, he actually fell under the stone bridge, and when he fell in, Li Changfan was taken away.
A strange experience, he finally understood that the price God gave him turned out to be an incredible adventure.
That is, he became one of the five emperors of the Heavenly Divine Kingdom, one of the seven divine kingdoms of the heavenly realm, overnight, Xuantian Emperor, also known as Li Xuantian.
This is 10,000 years.
Although he became the emperor, he always regretted his wife and children. But it's been thousands of years, how can you make up for it?
During a ceremony in the Heavenly Realm, Li Changfan accidentally learned that by cultivating the "Nine Sword Zen", the non-existent tenth sword could be realized.
The ninth sword can slaughter the gods, and the tenth sword is just a simple "fan." ”
On the day of cultivation, this sword was unleashed in front of dozens of Great Emperors of the Seven Great Divine Kingdoms, nearly 100 saints, and more than 2,000 true gods.
After using this sword, he returned to the city where he met his wife and children on May 24, 2019, only to find that his wife and children had returned to their hometown. So Li Changfan rushed home.
This dream seemed to have been a dream for thousands of years, and at this moment, Li Changfan realized that it was really just a dream.
Maybe it's because of the tiredness of work, leaving the city, coming back to guard his wife and children, accompany his parents, and live in a hidden ostrich way in this small mountain village where he grew up.
This big man of more than 1.8 meters may not have shaved for a long time, and the green stubble is thick and dense.
The emaciated face carried a smile that he had never lost.
He used to say to his lover, Smile at you, my world is full of love. He once said to his children that smiling will make the world beautiful and you will grow up healthy.
Today, his smile is still there, but with some light lines on his forehead, which makes him look more mature.
His deep eyes were sharp, his sockets were a little sunken, and this thirty-two-year-old had more to tell.
With his neat short hair and majestic body, he is a strong and resolute man in the mountains and trees.
The simple combination of a white shirt with a yellowed collar and jeans and sneakers made him look younger, even though he was still a young man at thirty-two.
Taking a deep breath, he paused and looked out into the distance.
In another ten minutes, you will be in the small mountain village.
The child should go to the town to go to the primary school, but which of the two primary schools is better?
Li Changfan's steps are bigger.
The small mountain village is in the mountains.
Surrounded by mountains, this village is like a mischievous child, scattered in many parts of the mountains, and this winding road winds from the first house to the last house, and then to the top of the mountain......
Li Changfan took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one and put it in his mouth, as if thinking of something, smiled bitterly, and inserted the cigarette case back in.
On the mountain wall in front of him, the words "Everyone is responsible for forest fire prevention" are written in large red letters.
When crossing the stone arch bridge over the river at the foot of the mountain, Li Changfan looked at the stone bridge.
…… It should have been 10,000 years ago, and it was here, his wife and daughter walked in front, and he followed, and he was full of happiness at that time, and he was careless for a while, and his feet slipped...... And then there's the elapse of thousands of years.
Now, this stone bridge is still the same, Li Changfan took a deep breath and walked over slowly.
Suddenly, as if something was pulling, he slipped underfoot......
Li Changfan's face changed, how similar this experience was!
No, absolutely not again! He subconsciously threw the canvas bag in his hand aside, and before he could grasp something, he fell off the bridge and fell directly into the water.
The water was not deep, and Li Changfan stood up from the water at once.
The stone bridge is still a stone bridge, the day at dusk is still the day at dusk, and the small mountain village is still the same small mountain village.
"It seems that God is doing that to give me a perfect end and let me live an ordinary life. That 10,000-year-old ...... "It was a false alarm just now.
Li Changfan climbed ashore, his clothes, pants, shoes and socks were dry, and he smiled bitterly, Li Changfan didn't care.
Back on the bridge, his canvas bag was hanging on a stone by the bridge. Pick it up and walk towards his home.
It was a wooden house in front of a bamboo forest, and there was a hall in the middle, which was inhabited on both sides, and the front room was not high, with a hollow floor, on which grain was placed, and a fire was burning downstairs, and the floor was warm.
Almost every family in the small mountain village is designed this way.
He quickened his pace, and suddenly felt that his steps were brisk, and soon, he walked from the path on the left side of the bamboo forest to the front of the house.
He stopped suddenly, and an inexplicable guilt rose in his heart: Mom, Dad, grandpa, are you all okay?
In terms of the time on earth, it should have been thirteen years since I left home and now I have returned, and everything seems to be the same. The next-door neighbor's house must have moved away for several years, and the pear and plum trees in front of his house were full of fruit telling Li Changfan that this year should be a good harvest.
My wife and daughter should be in the house, why didn't I hear my daughter's voice, I must have fallen asleep.
He was a little excited, and he was also a little emotional.
Before he could finish his sigh, his mother's roar sounded in the room: "No! I'm in my seventies, and I'm going to marry a forty-year-old woman and come back to drag our family down." I will never agree, this old death is not good!"
Father's voice was a little timid, "Then we will go to Yunjiao tomorrow to find the men, women and children of the family to have a look and persuade Dad." ”
"You are a coward, your father wants to ask the little mother-in-law to be your mother, I don't agree. If you do such an unsightly thing at such an old age, you can simply beat them to death. At such an age, I am not ashamed. Phew!" The mother's voice seemed to be even angrier, and she could still hear crying, as if something terrible would happen to this family because of a woman much younger than grandpa.
