"It turned out to be useless at all!" Zhan Haoyan sighed at the green flower with the Dream Back Stone, "Why can others remember it, but you don't react at all?"

Lu Ning didn't speak, but instead of being as impatient as he had been at the beginning, he wanted to recover his memories or return to the underworld. In the past two days, he has been basking in the warm light in the greenhouse every day, and there are many flowers and plants brought from the underworld around him, all of which are blooming brightly in the greenhouse, exuding a rich aura, which fills the entire greenhouse, so that the greenhouse begins to be filled with the same white mist as the underworld, hazy.

Lu Ning also bloomed leisurely, stretching his petals one by one, which seemed to make him very comfortable. He was lazy, rarely spoke or moved under normal circumstances, and maintained the appearance of a small green flower nesting alone in the flower pot, only He Qianjue would often come in to see him.

"Won't you be bored?" He Qianjue squatted in front of the flower pot, leaned closer to observe him closely, "stay in the flower pot all the time...... Don't you want to go out and have a look?"

Lu Ning still said lazily: "No, I'm used to it." ”

"You're just used to being quiet, silent, motionless. He Qianjue stared at the flower and said.

Lu Ning shook his flower head and said, "Of course, I'm a plant now, isn't that what a plant is?"

"Do you like this kind of life?" He Qianjue didn't know why, his heart hurt a little, he couldn't use exact adjectives to describe the feeling of heartache, he just felt that his heart was nailed by someone, the nail fell into the flesh and blood, beating with each beat of the heart, more blood flowed out of the wound, and the pain made He Qianjue have the illusion of suffocation.

Lu Ning didn't know if he felt He Qianjue's pain, he suddenly moved his flower forward, letting his petals rub against He Qianjue's chin, Lu Ning said: "I think it's good, carefree, and don't have to think." It's just a little lonely...... But now that I'm here with you, I think this greenhouse is very nice, can I stay here forever?"

"Of course, you can stay with me forever. He Qianjue reached out and carefully touched his rhizome, and said softly, "But didn't you say before that you were going to wait for someone?

Lu Ning said: "I don't have to wait. ”

"Why?" He Qianjue became a little anxious inexplicably, and asked Hua Huadao, "Are you going to give up?"

"I don't know...... Lu Ning shook his petals and pasted them on He Qianjue's face, showing his dependence, he said: "I just have an intuition, I don't think I need to wait any longer." ”

……

He Qianjue held the young deer in his arms and shrunk in the deepest part of the cave, and they lay down on a dry and soft haystack to sleep.

Next to him was He Qianjue's father, He Jiuming, who was also holding Qianjue with one arm by He Qianjue's side, and lying on his side, with his back to the exit to block the cold wind that was whistling for him.

The rest of the people also found a clean and suitable place to sleep with their clothes closed, snoring of different sizes, leaving only the two prefect officials to keep vigil around the fire.

The wind and snow outside are too great, and there is no way to go down the mountain tonight, so everyone can only choose to spend the night in this cave where wild beasts may be infested at any time, such a night is destined to be grinding, and cold and fear always surround everyone all the time.

They sealed the entrance to the cave with hay and stones to prevent more snow from blowing in. But despite this, the wind and snow outside were still too strong, and the wind was howling, and the snowflakes were blowing through the cracks in the stones into the cave, freezing so hard that people could turn into ice sculptures.

Except for a few with big hearts, some people couldn't sleep even if they were lying down, and they lay back and forth for a long time, and finally they simply got up, shivered and gathered around the edge of the cave fire, chatting with each other intermittently in weak voices.

Only He Qianjue slept very soundly with his young deer, and in his sleep he would subconsciously rub the head of the young deer in his arms with his cheek, and his mouth was confused: "Green ...... Luning ......"

The young deer also turned over in Qianjue's arms, licked He Qianjue's chin with his tongue, but after licking it, Lu Ning suddenly felt a sight, Lu Ning couldn't help but raise her little head, looked at He Qianjue's side, and found that He Jiuming, who was lying next to He Qianjue, was supporting his upper body with his arms, and looked at Lu Ning with his head down.

As He Qianjue's father, He Jiuming is a shrewd and excellent man, and he who inherited the ancestral business of the He family can also be regarded as having a successful career, if there is no war this time, if there is no series of disasters, it is impossible for their He family to fall to this point today.

It's just that He Jiuming is not a qualified father or husband, he is out of work all the year round, He Jiuming can't take care of his wife who stays at home at all, He Jiuming's first wife was pregnant with Qianjue, He Jiuming only went home to see her twice, and then his wife gave birth, and he couldn't rush back.

He Jiuming's wife has been depressed for this, and after giving birth, she fell ill and couldn't afford to lie in bed, He Qianjue was only two years old, and she left.

Maybe it was also because of guilt, and then He Jiuming was widowed and didn't marry again for a long time, until He Qianjue grew up to be about seven years old, and he was constantly nagged by relatives and friends.

He Jiuming's marriage was just for show, and he didn't touch her at all, so he treated him as an idler in his house, and he usually respected each other as if he were a guest. This rich lady is also peaceful, not making any trouble at all, except for occasionally going out to shop and buy all kinds of shopping, she has not caused him any trouble.

It's just that this time the He family collapsed, and He Jiuming didn't want to drag this young rich lady to suffer together, so he gave her a letter of resignation not long ago, returned the dowry she brought to her, compensated some compassionate money, and sent her back to her parents' house.

At this point, He Jiuming really has nothing, no family business, no property, no wife, all his brothers, sisters, relatives and friends are separated, and only his only son remains.

It was only at this moment that He Jiuming finally took on the responsibility of being a father.

Realizing that he was a father, He Jiuming untied his coat and covered himself and his son together, even covering the young deer he was holding in his son's arms. He Qianjue seemed to feel that his father's embrace was very warm in a daze, and subconsciously rubbed into He Jiuming's arms, still holding his favorite Lu Ning in his hand.

He Jiuming touched his son's hairline with some gentleness, and then glanced at the young deer in his son's arms.

In fact, when he first saw the fawn, he felt that something was wrong.

The deer's eyes turned out to be red. Especially under the light of the fire in the cave, the blood-red color became more and more obvious, like the thick blood, it was very terrifying to see, making He Jiuming have goosebumps all over his body and frown unconsciously.

The eyes of a deer cannot be this color. He Jiuming is naturally quite aware of this, he is also a businessman who has traveled to many places from south to north, and all kinds of strange things and treasures encountered along the way, some of which he is familiar with, and some of which he can even witness with his own eyes. And He Jiuming knew in his heart that in this world, ...... There are indeed monsters that exist in zài.

If it's a youkai, it's very bad.

He Jiuming stared at the young deer in his son's arms, and couldn't help but feel all kinds of vigilance in his heart, this vigilance made him unable to sleep peacefully, and couldn't help but stare at the young deer for a long time, and the young deer felt his gaze, and also raised his head to look at He Jiuming.

A man and a deer looked at each other like this, confronting each other.

Until the son in He Jiuming's arms sneezed in his sleep, muttered two more words in a daze, and inexplicably kissed the head of the little deer in his arms.

Lu Ning, who was kissed, ignored He Jiuming's gaze staring at him, and subconsciously licked He Qianjue's chin again, probably because he was licked, He Qianjue laughed quietly, and then woke up laughing. He Qianjue, who woke up, opened his eyes, yawned, and said to the little deer in his arms: "Lu Ning, it's so cold." ”

It was indeed very cold in the cave, and it was very cold when the fire was lit, and a few people who were talking around the fire kept licking the firewood into the fire, but there was not much firewood, and it was soon burned to the ground, and without firewood, the flame became a little small, and the cave was even colder.

Luckily, in the second half of the night, the snow outside stopped.

As soon as the wind and snow stopped, without the cold wind whistling, the cold seemed to become less obvious, and everyone in the cave breathed a sigh of relief.

Throwing the last firewood into the fire, the prefect, who had been guarding the fire, stood up, walked to He Jiuming's side, called He Jiuming softly, and said, "Mr. He, let's go!"

He Jiuming put his clothes on his son, and also got up and said to the prefect, "Now?"

"It's the time of the day. The prefect said to He Jiuming, "It's almost dawn, and the wind and snow just stopped, let's hurry down the mountain, Qingzhu Mountain is not high, and it is easy to go down the mountain." ”

"Moreover, although this cave can give us shelter from the wind and snow, it is after all a lair of some kind of beast, and even if we have not seen the shadow of the beast yet, we may not know when it will return, and if it does come back, we will call it really bad. ”

He Jiuming thought about it and felt reasonable, so he nodded and got up, and began to pack up his things with everyone, ready to leave.

After getting dressed and putting on a good robe, He Jiuming picked up his son who was lying on the grass and said to He Qianjue: "Qianjue, is it okay for Daddy to carry you on his back?"

The snow is too thick, and with He Qianjue's small body, it is estimated that he will not be able to get out if he steps in.

He Qianjue climbed on his father's back, holding his little deer in his arms, and a group of people were ready, lit torches, pushed away the stones and hay blocking the cave, stepped on the thick snow, and walked into the snow one after another.

It was not difficult to descend the mountain, but the group was not very lucky, and not long after they came out of the cave, they faintly heard the sound of a wolf howling nearby.

"What sound?" the voice frightened everyone, and one of them couldn't help but ask.

And the prefect who was walking in the forefront tilted his head and listened carefully for a while, and said, "Let's move faster, there are wolves nearby!"

As soon as the prefect said this, a group of people suddenly became nervous, and they couldn't help but want to speed up the pace of going down the mountain, but the snow was too deep, and with every step, their feet would be deeply immersed in the snowflakes, and when they took the second step, they had to pull their legs out of the snow, and it was extremely difficult to walk step by step, and some of them came up the mountain in a hurry, and they were only wearing a coat and no snowshoes, and it was even more difficult to walk.

Compared to their group of hard-moving humans, the wolves are much easier, they are relatively small, they don't weigh much, they can quickly climb out of the snow even if they get stuck in the snow, they can even run in the snow without paying too much attention, their voices are getting closer and closer, and a group of people can even hear the footsteps of Si Si Suo from the nearby weeds, and the low roar of the wolves.

The voice was close at hand.

He Jiuming and the others suddenly became nervous, and ran desperately forward in the direction where Mohe City was located not far from the bottom of the mountain!

However, He Jiuming was still carrying Qianjue on his back, running a little slowly, and gradually being left behind, and a few strong officials next to him were quite kind, reaching out and dragging him forward, but when the figure of the wolf pack gradually appeared behind him, a group of people panicked, and they didn't care about He Jiuming, and began to rush forward, one running faster than the other.

He Qianjue lay on his father's back, listening to the wolf howl nearby, and his heart became afraid. Unlike the big bad wolf who met Lu Ning's transformation, this group of wolves obviously came with hostility, and their howls were full of warning and excitement, which made eight-year-old He Qianjue stiff with fright, shrunk on his father's back and did not dare to move, hugged the young deer in his arms tightly, and softly shouted "Daddy" in a crying voice.

Lu Ning was very calm, it raised its head in He Qianjue's arms, and when it looked back, it could see the wolves looming in the forest behind it.

There are indeed wolves in this mountain forest, but they are rare, occasionally the chai man who goes up the mountain to chop wood will meet one or two, but generally as long as he does not provoke the wolf, the wolf will not come to provoke humans casually, and attacking human beings is a unique thing, a group of people did not expect to be attacked by wolves when they went up the mountain, they were more afraid of the bears in the forest.

However, the huge gray wolf that Lu Ning transformed into before was copied from one of the wolf kings in this group of wolves.

Since being able to replicate the body of the wolf king, Lu Ning often transforms into the wolf king, wearing the image of the wolf king, catching some small animals in the forest to satisfy his hunger. Because Lu Ning's behavior of preying in its territory without permission caused the dissatisfaction of the real wolf king, the wolf king often led his little brothers to come to find trouble with Lu Ning, although Lu Ning was able to skillfully get rid of them every time.

But not this time, because Lu Ning is no longer alone, if there is only Lu Ning, it will be a matter of minutes to get rid of the wolves. However, he was surrounded by He Qianjue and his father, as well as a large group of human beings.

This winter was too cold, and the snow fell too much, which even caused many animals in the mountains to start migrating and hibernating, and they left Qingzhu Mountain one after another. As a result, the wolves could not find anything to eat, and they were going crazy with hunger, and they smelled He Jiuming's group in extreme hunger, and after the wind and snow stopped, it was indeed possible for them to attack humans.

"Run, run, run, the wolves are catching up!" The situation is very critical, the prefect is an official eunuch, although the official character is not high, but he seems to have received some military training in his early years, he is physically strong, and he can run faster than those officials next to him, he can almost roll and climb in the snow, but he is far ahead of the forefront.

And He Jiuming has fallen behind, as a businessman, although he has been to all over the world, his physique is really not particularly good, compared to these trained soldiers. The official next to him didn't bother to reach out to support him, so that the distance between him and the group in front of him grew bigger and bigger.

He Jiuming found that he couldn't keep up with the big team, and he was also flustered, but the son on his back seemed to be more flustered than him, hugging his father's neck and trembling, and shouting Daddy again.

He Jiuming heard his son's voice full of fear, and knew that he couldn't give up, his son was still so young, he said that he would protect Qianjue for the rest of his life! So he made a voice to try to attract the attention of the people in front of him, he said, "Wait a minute! Help me!"

But none of the officers running in front stopped to pay attention to him, and when this group of people heard the wolf howl behind them, they became faster, and their backs were getting farther and farther away from He Jiuming in the dark!

He Jiuming was really a little frightened this time, he could hear the sound of the wolves behind him, so close to him! The sound of their paws stepping on the snow and running recklessly seemed to come from He Jiuming's ears! He Jiuming knew very clearly at that moment that if he was caught up by this group of wolves, he and Qian Jue on his back would be overwhelmed by the wolves at that moment, and they would be torn to pieces alive!

"Please, at least take my son away!" He Jiuming was almost desperate, running with his son on his back, while shouting at the group in front of him, but there was no response, and the group in front had already run away. He Jiuming looked at their backs, his face turned pale, his voice resounded in the snow, but it was drowned out by the howls of the wolves behind.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again.

The snow in the snow was too thick, and the light was not enough at night, so He Jiuming did not hold a torch in his hand. When the group of people in front of him walked farther and farther, He Jiuming gradually couldn't see things in the dark clearly, so he didn't pay attention to his feet, he might have tripped over some rotten tree roots, and threw himself directly on the snow, and He Qianjue on his back was also thrown out, and rolled twice in the snow with the young deer in his arms.

He Jiuming quickly got up and looked for his son all over the ground, and when he found Qian Jue and hugged him into his arms again, the wolves behind him had already surrounded him, this group of wolves were basically gray-black wolves, they let out the low howl of that beast from their throats, and showed Bai Sensen's sharp teeth to He Jiuming. When they saw that He Jiuming was alone, they spontaneously surrounded He Jiuming, they were extremely cunning and cruel creatures, a wolf might be easy to deal with, a group of ...... That's what even seasoned jungle hunters would fear.

"Daddy......" He Qianjue trembled with fear, so she could only lie in He Jiuming's arms and keep calling Daddy.

He Jiuming was also afraid, he didn't know what to do with his son at all, his brain was blank at the moment, he only knew that he was finished, he would be eaten alive here with his son.

But his son was only that old.

He Jiuming stretched out his hand to hold Qianjue's little head, bowed his head and said softly to his son: "Don't be afraid, Qianjue, it's fine, Daddy will protect you." ”

This is the most ridiculous lie he has ever said.

The wolves surrounded He Jiuming and his son, looking like they were about to move, and they might come forward to bite He Jiuming anytime and anywhere, but at this moment, the young deer that Qian Jue was holding tightly in his arms struggled.

"Lu Ning?" He Qianjue felt the struggle of the young deer in his arms, and shouted worriedly, but the young deer quickly burst out of his arms, and then Lu Ning shook his head, and quietly changed back to the image of the wolf king in a dark snow.

This scene happened directly in front of He Jiuming and He Qianjue.

He Qianjue was relatively simple, he remembered that Lu Ning would change seventy-two, which was very powerful, so he immediately became excited, he thought that Lu Ning might be able to help him and his father drive away this group of terrible wolves.

But He Jiuming is now more sure that the young deer in his son's arms is undoubtedly a monster!

And Lu Ning couldn't think so much, he was in front of He Jiuming and He Qianjue, confronting a group of wolves in front of him.

The wolves suddenly dispersed, and then, a giant wolf with the same wolf form as Lu Ning's current wolf slowly walked out of the wolf pack, a giant wolf with gray fur, except for the difference between the eyes and Lu Ning, everything else was completely identical. This is the wolf king among the wolves, and it is also the wolf king who Lu Ning secretly copied the image.

Two identical wolf kings confronted each other face to face, which seemed to make the surrounding wolves a little confused, they couldn't tell which one was their king, because the taste and breath were exactly the same, and Lu Ning's imitation and replication were perfect, the most perfect in this world.

But it doesn't hurt if you can't tell the difference, because there is a supreme rule in the wolf pack. The wolf who challenges the wolf king and defeats it is the new wolf king, so these two wolf kings only need to fight with dignity at this moment, and whoever wins will have the ability to command the wolf pack.

This is also the purpose of Luning. He avoided this group of wolves before, and didn't want to confront them head-on, also because he didn't want to fight with this real wolf king. But now there is nowhere to hide, there are He Qianjue and his father behind them, two extremely fragile human beings who need Lu Ning to protect.
