One

As soon as the Azamu conference was over, Mu Ke did not have time to say goodbye to others, so he rushed to the cemetery and told his deceased parents about his joy.

Along the way, Irina came to mind, and he couldn't wait to rush to the village.

On the way to run, a strange shadow floated in front of him, Mu Ke chased forward to find out, no matter how he tracked, he couldn't get closer, and when he looked around, the familiar road became more and more strange, and he didn't feel that he had walked into the depths of the dense forest, stopped, and felt a little weird, and looked around in surprise.

"If only Aofeng was there, I would definitely be able to detect something. ”

At this time, there were a few owl calls in the woods, and then there was silence again, and Mu Ke cautiously tried a few steps: "Could it be that I am too careful?" After muttering, he strode away, and not far away, found a low house, which was brightly lit, and only a simple fence around it, and an old dog with no teeth in it, and an old horse next to it, and a few little lambs in the circle.

Mu Ke went to investigate suspiciously, why had he never found that there were still people living here, just as he was approaching, the old dog got up vigilantly, barked a few times with all his might, the voice sounded weak and weak, the horse was alert all of a sudden, and followed the neighing, for a long time, the door of the house opened, and a white-haired old man came out to inspect with a lamp in his left hand and a knife in his right hand.

Mu Ke observed for a while, and then called: "Old man, there are many disturbances in the middle of the night, please forgive me." ”

The old man raised the lamp, illuminated Mu Ke's face, and found the silver medal on Mu Ke's chest, so he bent down and saluted.

Mu Ke hurriedly helped him up: "The old man doesn't have to be polite. ”

Old man: "I don't know what people have to do when they come late at night." ”

Mu Ke: "I was on the way back to the village, I found a strange shadow, chased all the way here, I didn't want to lose it, I happened to pass by here when I went back, and I saw that this remote place was inhabited, so I was curious to check, I didn't want to disturb you." ”

Old man: "Since that's the case, can you give your face to the house and talk about it?" ”

Mu Ke hugged his fist: "Then disturb the old man." After that, he helped the old man into the house and closed the door casually, and the door creaked in protest.

When I entered the room, I looked around at the walls covered with pictures of the stars, a huge scabbard and a hard bow at the head of the bed, a worn-out wooden bed with a pair of thin sheepskin mattresses on top of it, and a few sheepskin quilts next to a polished wooden pillow pressed on the mattress; V", a dark black crack, which has been glued for a long time at a glance, and a relatively complete worn-out one, three benches in front of the table, of different heights, at first glance, the wood has been changed and changed after it is worn, which reminds Mu Ke of his small cabin.

The old man took the lead in handing the complete cup to Mu Ke, poured it full of water, and then poured the cup with the word "V" for himself and said to himself: "Here, it is far away from Heyang Village, and it is almost not the scope of Heyang Village, and then to the southeast is a vast primeval forest, which is full of all kinds of rare beasts, and it was originally a quiet, but recently there have been traces of wolves, specializing in stealing sheep." “

Mu Ke: "The wolves have been wiped out, how can they appear here?"

Old man:" This is a long story, 20 years ago, individual wolves and puppets had friction, just a small friction, but who knew that for their own ambitions, increase the merits of the village chief, then slaughter wolves on a large scale, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of wolves, people thought that the wolves were wiped out and left, never thought that the last race survived, they were extremely cunning, dodging without a trace, and after the strength grew, began to retaliate, following the traces left by human departure, they found Heyang Village, and then began to gnaw the sheep every night, biting the old and young women, the village was miserable, the man began to chase and kill the wolves, and was careless for a while by the wolves besieged and seriously injuredIn the end, it was Sunny who united with Iro of Heyin Village to reluctantly strangle most of the wolves and kill the old wolf king, not wanting a few wolves to escape, and the two villages also suffered heavy casualties. ”

This is the past that Mu Ke is reluctant to mention, this is the shame of his father's life, and it is also the reason why Mu Ke has endured hardships since he was a child.

The old man seemed to sense something, and asked, "I don't know what to call it." ”

Mu Ke hesitated for a moment: "My name is Mu Ke, and I am the son of a shepherd. ”

The old man's eyes were a little moist, and he looked at the young man in front of him strangely: "It's very much like your father, and it's a little gratifying to see you so good." ”

Mu Ke looked at the old man suspiciously, felt familiar, and immediately asked the old man's name.

The old man sighed and said, "I've forgotten my name for so long, everyone calls me Mushi, and that person is my nephew." ”

Mu Ke suddenly understood that the old man in front of him was the third grandfather who had been missing for many years, and his father felt guilty every time he mentioned this matter, and the whole family was implicated and exiled for his own reasons, and the third grandfather was a famous wise man in the village and one of the top ten elders, but after the accident, he didn't know where to go, and his life and death were uncertain.

Mu Ke suddenly knelt down and kowtowed deeply, but the old man did not stop him, and then left tears, including ups and downs.

The two had a long talk, but before they knew it was the second half of the night, Mu Ke talked about the Azamu Conference, and the old man was full of relief, and then the old man asked Irina about his marriage, Mu Ke was a little hesitant, and the old man suddenly glared: "The men of the Mu family are all standing up to the sky, and they will pursue it if they like it, and they will never back down." ”

The night seemed to be very short, in the morning the old man prepared a "rich" breakfast to urge Mu Ke to leave, and lent the old horse to Mu Ke, before leaving to warn Mu Ke, last night I found out that you have recently had a disaster on the body, don't go out of the village, the two were reluctant to part, the old horse sent Mu Ke to the edge of the village, and went back to the wooden house by himself.

Two

Three months have passed, and it has been the rainy season in the blink of an eye.

After Mu Ke returned to the village, he remembered the instructions of the third grandfather, practiced in the barracks every day, and drank with Ibak when he came back.

After the conference, Aza also began to be busy, especially the increase in the number of strangely missing soldiers, very distressed, but still worried about Mu Ke's marriage, and a private message would be attached to the official letter with Heyin Village to mention this matter, Iroaza has no opinion, Irina is also a big change in personality for this, and she is dull and silent every day.

On this day, Mu Ke was alone at home, secretly missing Irina, when a quick knock sounded at the door.

"Mu Ke opens the door quickly, there is something urgent. ”

Mu Ke heard Sangmu's voice and quickly got up to open the door.

Sang Mu said very formally: "Aza has something urgent to see you." ”

Mu Ke didn't have time to put down the Xun in his hand, and hurried over.

The guards of Azar Mansion did not stop this time, and saluted respectfully, and Mu Ke quickly returned the salute and walked in quickly.

"See Azha. ”

Aza put down the copywriting in his hand, saw Mu Ke and smiled: "I haven't seen you for many days, but it's a lot stronger." ”

"Thanks to Aza. ”

Aza: "There are more courtesies, so I'm relieved, you have to do it." ”

"Aza please. ”

Aza put away the Chinese case and handed it to Mu Ke: "Three days later, it is Ira Azha's birthday, you send a congratulatory gift on behalf of Heyang Village, by the way, go to see Irina, the marriage has been put on the agenda, let you get married as soon as possible." ”

Mu Ke abandoned his thoughts for a long time, smiled, and was a little shy.

Aza waved his hand, and when Muke left, all that was left in the room was his hearty laughter.

Mu Ke simply packed his bags, happily forgot the advice of the third grandfather, and quickly rode towards Heyin Village with the gift.
