..................

Shi Mu took the meteorite black knife on his shoulder, looked up and down at the boulder in front of him a few times, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of curvature.

Since this black horn department and the fierce snake department colluded and wanted to take their own lives, they didn't mind picking on the matter to see who was more afraid of the matter being exposed.

In the following time, Shi Mu first found the four dislikes from outside the camp, tore off part of the tattered clothes on his body, tied them to his body together with a boulder, and then wrapped his arms around his neck and caressed them a few times.

As if he knew something, the four made a few mooing sounds, rubbing Shi Mu with his furry head, looking reluctant.

Not long after this first four people entered the barbarian from Shi Mu, they have been accompanying them and have gradually developed some feelings.

However, this thing is wild after all, and it is not suitable for always accompanying oneself.

Then, he chose a direction that was the opposite of the route he had checked, and slapped Si Wei on the ass with his right hand.

"Whew!"

Si was not like a scream of pain, his limbs moved, and he immediately galloped out like an arrow, his four legs were like flying, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived on a low slope not far away, stopped, and glanced back at Shi Mu.

Shi Mu looked at the four and waved his hand at him to say goodbye.

After a mooing sound, the four turned and disappeared into the night.

In the following time, Shi Mu took out the horses of the people in the Wujiao tribe one by one, and after leaving one, the rest were stuffed with broken clothes stained with his own breath, and tied a boulder to let these horses gallop away in all directions.

After doing all this, Shi Mu picked up the bulging cowhide package on his back and stepped onto the remaining brute horse. Follow the direction you checked on the map and quickly leave the place.

A day later.

A middle-aged barbarian with a bald forehead and a long braid on the back of his head appeared next to the campfire in the Black Horn camp, above his right arm. Wrapped around a long cyan whip.

At this moment, he was staring at the handwriting on the boulder in front of him with burning eyes, the blue light on the long whip in his hand gradually brightened, his arm shook, and the cyan long whip rolled out like a green snake.

However, when it was about to hit the boulder. Somehow, it quickly rolled back and wrapped around his arm.

At this time, the dreadlocked middle-aged barbarian's eyes had regained his calmness, and a hint of groan flashed in his eyes.

He had already inspected the camp just now, and the cavalry of the Wujiao Department had been slaughtered, and even the early innate commander Ugel had died a tragic death, but judging from the methods and techniques of killing, it seemed that it was not the same as the information he had received before.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed on his chest, and cyan scales suddenly appeared all around his body. His eyes turned red.

He first looked around at the ground around him, then changed directions, his nose twitched a few times, as if he was sniffing something.

"Hey, interesting!"

After a while, the middle-aged barbarian with long pigtails laughed instead of anger and muttered.

......

A month later, the Kaiyuan Mansion of the Great Qi Kingdom, a small remote fishing village.

At this time, the sun had just risen in the east, and the sea was full of smoke. Before the wind rose, several small boats stopped on the surface of the sea, swaying and undulating with the waves.

In the fields around the village, there are many old people and women who get up early. He was hunched over in his vegetable patch.

The fishing village is close to the sea, and the surrounding land is very barren due to high salinity, so fishermen mostly use it to grow some fruits and vegetables that do not require much land.

More villagers are busy drying nets or dried fish in front of and behind their houses, while others sit quietly in front of their houses, basking in the sun. Fishing nets are mended on one side.

Many bare-bottomed children are playing around in the village, playing games that they never get tired of playing, and the naughty ones will run around behind the foraging chickens and ducks.

At the entrance of the village, a yellow dog is lazily lying on the ground, bathing in the morning light.

Judging by its flabby, wrinkled skin, it was so old that it didn't even want to move.

Suddenly, the old yellow dog's nose sniffed a few times, as if he had found something, and his eyelids, which had been shrugged, suddenly opened, and barked towards the outside of the village.

In the blink of an eye, the whole village was filled with the sound of dogs barking.

At this time, a tall young man dressed in black clothes and carrying a huge cowhide wrap behind his back took a deep breath of the slightly fishy air, and stood at the entrance of the village, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

This person is Shi Mu, who has returned from the barbarian wasteland, and this is the fishing village where he has lived since childhood.

After he left the camp of the Black Horn Department that day, in order to reduce trouble, he disguised himself as a barbarian again, and marched all the way to the sea, and soon entered the sphere of influence of the Yanfang Division.

Speaking of which, the token given by the Flame Tooth Priest is still quite useful, and the level fortresses that cannot be avoided along the way, or the barbarian rangers, as long as they see this token, they will all be respectfully and directly released, which saves them a lot of trouble.

Because of careful planning in advance, and he has been in and out of the day and night, except for a few fierce beasts encountered along the way, it was very smooth.

After walking for more than half a month, he came to the East China Sea, and then he walked along the sea in the direction of the human race, passing through the Huang Kingdom and entering the territory of the Great Qi Kingdom.

After traveling day and night across several states and counties, he finally entered the territory of Quanzhou, the Great Qi State, two days ago.

This is Shi Mu's hometown, and it is also the small fishing village where he grew up.

Speaking of which, since he left the fishing village with Steward Cheng, five or six years have passed in a flash, and he has never had the opportunity to come back for various reasons.

Now that he finally has the opportunity, he naturally returns to his heart like an arrow.

After all, after returning to the Black Demon Gate of Yanguo again this time, I don't know how many years and months it will take to come back again.

Just when Shi Mu was distracted, the old yellow dog at the entrance of the village suddenly stopped barking, rushed towards Shi Mu, sniffed at him, and circled around him like a joy.

Shi Mu couldn't help laughing, leaned over and touched the old yellow dog's head, and the old yellow dog also licked his fingers excitedly.

This old yellow dog belongs to Shi Mu's next-door neighbor Heiyu's family, and he used to be quite familiar with Shi Mu, and when Shi Mu left, he was still a yellow dog in his prime.

Shi Mu patted the old yellow dog's head, then got up and walked towards the village with a brisk walk.

After the old yellow dog wagged his tail and followed for some distance, he became out of breath, so he opened his mouth and stretched out his tongue, and slowly ran back to the entrance of the village.

Shi Mu swept his eyes around and found that after so many years, the fishing village had not changed at all, and it was still exactly the same as he remembered.

There are a lot of men in the village, and now this season is not a good time to fish at sea, so most of the men have not gone to sea, otherwise at this time, they would have gone to sea and fished early.

At this time, many people in the village also found Shi Mu, but the clothes on his body were worth a lot of money at a glance, and he was carrying a long black knife behind him, which looked very strong, and everyone only dared to look at it from a distance.

"Is it a shepherd?" said an old man who was sitting in front of his house weaving fishing nets, his face full of ravines and his eyes cloudy.

"It's me, Uncle Nine, I'm coming back to see my mother. Shi Mu's heart warmed, looked at the old man, and replied with a smile.

When he was young, his mother took him to live a difficult life, and most of the people in the village ignored him, and this uncle was one of the few people who treated them well, and often helped them.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. The old man muttered to himself, as if recalling something.

As soon as they heard the conversation between the two, the male and female villagers who were watching nearby had different expressions and began to discuss in twos and threes.

"What, he is Shi Mu, what a big change!"

"Judging by the way he looks, he should be rich outside. ”

"Look at the knife behind him, it's so powerful, he won't really become the martial artist of the martial arts hall. ”

"What kind of martial artist, didn't he kill people back then, then the Wu family ......"

"Shhhh

......

The words of these villagers all fell on Shi Mu's ears without a word, and many of them looked at Shi Mu with a faint look of strangeness.

Shi Mu didn't have to guess to know that after he killed the people of the Jin and Wu families, the two families must have sent people to the fishing village a long time ago and offered attractive rewards.

Naturally, he wouldn't bother with these villagers, after all, with his current strength, he wouldn't care about the Jin family and the Wu family at all.

Shi Mu walked in front of Uncle Jiu, squatted down, chatted with him casually, and at the same time quietly stuffed a gold leaf wrapped in cloth in his hand, and instructed him to open it again in the house, and then got up and left.

He walked on his feet and soon came to a dilapidated wooden house, which was his and his mother's home.

He looked at the leaky room in front of him, and his face showed a complicated expression.

After half a ring, he came to his senses, gently pushed open the wooden door, and walked in.

Everything in the house was the same, but it was covered with a deep layer of dust,

All the memories of the past slowly poured into his mind, and Shi Mu stood quietly in the room with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the sound of footsteps from far and near.

"Muzi, you're back!" a deep male voice said.

As soon as the words ended, a dark-skinned man in his thirties walked in from outside.

"Yes, I'm back. Brother Blackfish, long time no see. Shi Mu turned around and smiled at this man dressed as a fisherman.

Blackfish is his neighbor, because of his dark skin, he is called Blackfish, he grew up with Shi Mu since he was a child, and the closest relationship between Shi Mu's family in the village is his family.

Soon after you left the fishing village, there were many strangers in the village, who went from house to house to inquire about your whereabouts, and they claimed to be from the Fengcheng Jin family and the Wu family, and threatened to offer a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to buy your news. The black fish looked at Shi Mu with concern and urged urgently.

"Don't worry, Brother Blackfish, I'll be careful. Shi Mu said warmly in his heart.

He hadn't experienced what it was like to be so genuinely cared for. (To be continued.) )
