Today's home, not to mention the four walls, but it is also an extremely bleak situation. The furnishings in the house are old, even the mosquito nets on the beds are yellowed and broken.

At this time, the pale-faced man lying on the bed, the young man lying on the edge of the bed kept shaking his dark elbows, but the man showed no sign of waking up.

"Father, how are you, father?"

The boy was scared, he had already lost too many relatives.

Lin Qing, who was squatting beside the young man, gently patted the young man's thin back, looked at the man's bloodless outline, and pursed his lips.

Xiao Zhen's mercenary group partners stood behind the two of them, and they all said with relief: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Chen, you don't have to worry, the head of Lei Xing has already asked the people of Cuichun Pavilion to see it, and they said that Brother Xiao is out of danger of life, and it should be fine, but you need to pay more attention to recuperation after that." ”

"Then when will he wake up?" After hearing the three words of Cuichun Pavilion, Lin Qing was obviously much more relieved. It was one of the most famous medical halls in the far north city, and the pavilion master with outstanding medical skills was said to be able to live and die, flesh and bones, and rejuvenate his hands.

Led by a detachment leader of the mercenary regiment, named Yue Feng, he replied: "It's probably soon, the doctor of Cuichun Pavilion gave Brother Xiao a bowl of decoction, saying that it was to suppress the pain, so he would fall asleep for some time and not worry." ”

"That's good, that's good. Lin Qing said, and then she asked again: "Why is it so seriously injured, is it because you have encountered a tricky beast?"

"It's not all ......," Yue Feng replied.

Lin Qing got up, brought a few people to the chairs placed in the room, and said, "Come, sit down and rest first." ”

A few people didn't pretend to be polite, and they were indeed a little tired after running non-stop along the way.

After the man named Yue Feng sat down, he went on to tell the story from beginning to end: "This time our mission went quite smoothly, and it only took five days to achieve the employer's commission. It's just that on the way back, I encountered a little accident, and I actually bumped into a second-order demon beast. ”

Lin Qing brought a teapot and poured a cup for each member of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group present.

"Second-order demon beast?" Lin Qing asked in shock, although she was not a martial artist, she naturally had been exposed to Xiao Zhen all year round, so she knew more or less about some basic information about demon beasts.

Everyone took their cups and drank them all in one gulp.

Yue Feng wiped the water stains from his mouth and continued, "A second-order demon beast is comparable to the strength of a human martial artist-level powerhouse, and on the other hand, the two squads present at that time, the strongest Lei Li deputy head is also worthy of the eighth-stage martial artist level, if it were a normal time, the ten dozen brothers present would have to lose at least half of the people." But fortunately, it was a second-order demon beast that had just completed its evolution, and its realm had not yet been stabilized, and it seemed to be injured, so we were able to kill it. ”

"It's just, hey, I don't know why that evil animal only attacked Brother Xiao the hardest, as if he was crazy, which led to Brother Xiao's serious injury now. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Qingxiu frowned slightly and asked.

"yes, we were weird at the time, no reason, but...... Sister-in-law, you have to believe me, I definitely didn't make up nonsense to coax you in order to pass the buck. Yue Feng said with a worried face, these upright men are most worried about being misunderstood, which is more uncomfortable than being slashed hard.

If your eldest brother hears your words, the first thing he will do when he gets up will definitely be to hold me accountable. I don't have any thoughts, brothers. Lin Qing hurriedly said.

After explaining the reason for the matter, Lin Qing and Yue Feng chatted a few more words, and after a while, Yue Feng left the medicinal materials he brought back from Cuichun Pavilion and was about to get up and leave.

Because the employer still needs them to go to the task handover, and the regimental headquarters of the mercenary group is also waiting for Yue Feng to feedback Xiao Zhen's situation back, in short, the time is urgent, and he can't stay for a long time.

Since this is the case, Lin Qing didn't do much to stay, sent the group to the outside of the hospital, and without waiting for the figures of a few people to disappear at the intersection, he retracted his gaze and quickly returned to the room.

Looking at the man with a weak breath on the bed, Lin Qing was heartbroken, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, for fear of adding to Xuanchen's burden, so he had to quietly wipe his tears.

"Chen'er, you are here with your father, I will go and fry the decoction, and you can drink it when your father wakes up. ”

Xuan Chen nodded, and when the footsteps behind him were far away, he looked at the winding circle after circle, but he was still soaked in blood and red, and his heart was like a knife.

"I'm sorry for my father, I'm sorry for my mother. If it weren't for me, why would you have to live this life of a knife, if I wasn't this impotent body......"

Since there was an extra Xuanchen in this family, Xiao Zhen went to the Demon Beast Mountain Range more and more frequently, and the injuries on his body became more and more serious. It's nothing more than to take a little more risk and kill more demon beasts, or go deeper into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where the heavenly and earthly treasures are more valuable, and the medicinal materials that can help Xuanchen warm up his body can also be encountered, and not only can he get more rewards afterwards, but he can also make Xuanchen recover better.

In the final analysis, it's all because of a Xuanchen.

But what if there was no him?

The life of the couple could have been ordinary, although it was difficult to be rich and expensive, but it was absolutely rich and well-fed, comfortable and healthy.

This dying man has given too many things, and Xuanchen only feels that he is ashamed of it, and he has no place to be ashamed.

"Ahem...... Cough...... How can my son be incompetent?"

Xiao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes slowly, and squeezed out a smile at Xuan Chen.

"Father!" Xuan Chen said in surprise.

In the future, you can no longer say such things, you are the child of the father, and to say so about yourself is equivalent to saying that the father is unable to take care of you. Xiao Zhen stretched out his left hand with difficulty and gently put it on the back of Xuanchen's head.

"That's not the case, father, I ......" Xuanchen hurriedly wanted to explain.

"It's only once, not the next one. Xiao Zhen interrupted his words and didn't let him continue, although his tone was stern, but he was extremely happy and relieved in his heart, and he asked which parent was not moved by his child's concern for himself.

"Yes, father. Xuanchen nodded and said.

Xiao Zhen smiled, "Chen'er, go and close the door." ”

"What are you doing when you're closed?" asked Xuanchen.

"Father was a little cold. Xiao Zhen said.

"Oh. Xuanchen got up and closed the door, and then hurried back to the bed.

I saw Xiao Zhen struggling to reach into his arms, and then took out a green grass. The grass is about three inches long, emitting a faint green light, five scaly green leaves, a white flower growing on the top, a total of six petals, and a rich aura surrounds its body.

"Is it Spirit Grass?" Xuan Chen said in surprise.

"This spirit grass is so strange, even if I have been trekking the Demon Beast Mountain Range for so many years, it is the only time I have seen it. can be guarded by a second-order demon beast, it must not be a mortal thing. Chen'er, take it, remember, don't let others see it. Xiao Zhen handed the spirit grass to Xuan Chen and said.

"Father, is this the reason for the injuries on your body?" Xuan Chen suddenly realized, and finally understood why the demon beast only had murderous intentions towards Xiao Zhen.

Otherwise, according to normal logic, among the people present at that time, the strongest strength and the greatest threat to the second-order demon beast should be the deputy head Lei Li. In this case, whether that demon beast is out of a simple thirst for killing, or in order to get out of trouble, the first person to choose to kill should be vigorous. How could he be so heavy-handed to Xiao Zhen? I'm afraid that it is the root cause, which is on the green spirit grass in Xiao Zhen's hand.

"That monster's claws are really sharp. Xiao Zhen looked at Xuan Chen dotingly and smiled.

Xuanchen looked at Xiao Zhen's disapproving smile, and the thousand knives that kept cutting in his heart went a little deeper.

"What qualifications do I have, I deserve your dedication, I'm just a ...... A wasted person who can't even do cultivation!" Xuan Chen buried his cheeks in the bedside futon, but after all, he still broke the agreement and cried.

Xiao Zhen stroked Xuanchen's head and comforted: "My son is not a waste, my son is just a young eagle who refuses to flap his wings." One day, when the time is ripe, my son will spread his wings and soar high on the top of the sky, proud of the world. ”

The man's eyes are full of expectations.

"As a father, I have always believed that that day will not be too far away......"

——

Late at night, Mujia Courtyard, Lakeside Hexagonal Pavilion.

"Is this serious?" asked a young man in a green shirt, glancing condescendingly at the family peer behind him.

"Really. The young man replied respectfully, although he was of the same age, the identity and status of the person in front of him in the Mu family was far from being comparable to him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was like a cloud of mud. Therefore, he had to bow down respectfully and bow down to talk to him.

Although the scene was chaotic at that time, even Lei Li could not inflict fatal damage on that second-order demon beast, it was precisely this environment that Xiao Zhen was able to get into the loophole. In fact, those people were also very stupid, the attention of that demon beast fell completely on Xiao Zhen, and they didn't even realize that it was because of something else. A bunch of simple-minded, well-developed idiots. ”

"Big brother, things are precious in the first place, but this thing ......," the young man asked tentatively.

The five fingers of the young man in the green shirt moved slightly, and he seemed to land rhythmically on the wooden table beside him. He was naturally very interested in that kind of thing, but there was a thunder war mercenary group and a family's face in between, so there was no suitable reason, or rather, there was a value worthy of his unscrupulous means.

"Patriarch Mu Shao ......"

At this moment, a person suddenly walked in outside the door, and the person's whole body was wrapped in a black robe, only a pair of pale and thin palms were exposed.

The young man in the green shirt suddenly lit up when he saw the person coming, everything was ready before, only the east wind was owed, but now, the east wind has it.

Immediately, the young man in the green shirt bent respectfully at the man, smiled slightly, and showed a sly face, "Master Monsoon, why are you here?"

"The body is three inches long, the leaves are shaped like scales, the flowers are six-petaled, and the aura is entwined. Hehe, good thing, good thing......" The man in black laughed wistfully.

"Patriarch Mu Shao. The man in black continued, "Then please leave that thing, if the Mu family can help me get it, I will be grateful in the future." You also know that with my identity, the Mu family will not suffer a loss in this transaction no matter what. You say, huh? hehe......"

With that, he slowly retreated and disappeared into the night.

Although he was accustomed to seeing this person's strange words and deeds, the other teenager would uncontrollably stand on end whenever he heard such an oozing laughter. It is rumored that he once slaughtered a small village with a population of several dozen just to get a demon core. I don't know where the clan invited this plague god.

The young man leaned closer to the young man in the green shirt and whispered, "Big brother......"

The young man in the green shirt smiled evilly and said slowly: "Call the second and third children, and follow me to Xiao's house tomorrow." ”
