The sky was dark, and there was not a ray of sunlight in sight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe cold wind blows the leaves, "rustling", and screams in the world. There was a "rumbling" sound in the sky, and a flash of thunder and lightning flashed to illuminate the bamboo house. Immediately, a drop of rain fell from the sky and smashed on the bamboo house, with a "tick" sound, which was extremely harsh, like tears, and began to surge endlessly.

"It's raining!" Xiao Baiyan stood outside the door, watching the rain pouring down, shook his head, and turned his head to look at the boy. The boy's face was covered with blood, he picked up his mother, and cried loudly: "Mother, don't die, don't leave the shadow, the shadow has avenged you, woo woo woo ......" The sorrow crossed the sky, and there was no trace of waves.

Time, as always, moves forward, leaving no trace of the past, only memories and regrets. At last, the boy stopped crying, but he fell on his knees, and his face was sad and lost. At this moment, a black cat jumped into the bamboo hut and shook off the water, splashing his face. He blinked, staring at the black cat. Who knows, the black cat "meowed" and grinned at the teeth. He was furious, grabbed a bamboo stool, threw it over, and cried and scolded: "Stinky cat, what's so beautiful, am I a bully?"

The black cat jumped, screamed "meow", dodged the bamboo bench, jumped out of the door, and got into the rain. The boy was stunned, wiped his tears, smiled silly, grabbed his mother's armpits, and dragged them outward. The rain soaked his whole body. He didn't notice it at all, dragged his mother to a place overgrown with flowers and plants, stretched out his hands, dug a pit with his bare hands, and buried his mother. After that, the boy went limp, fell to the ground, smiled bitterly, and before he knew it, a wave of tiredness came over him, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep on a rainy day.

Xiao Baiyan looked stunned for a moment, hissed and shouted: "Child, don't sleep, if you sleep, no one will come to save you!" However, the boy couldn't hear Xiao Baiyan's soul scream, but frowned, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, and muttered in his mouth: "Mother, the shadow is so well-behaved! Don't you leave me, okay?" Xiao Baiyan burst into tears when he heard this, his fist tightened, and he slammed into the tree on the side, his hand actually pierced through, and he couldn't help but roar angrily: "Why do you want me to look at its past, I can't do anything!" The woman's words echoed: "I will save the shadow from the abyss of hatred, please leave it to you!"

At this moment, the sound of "clicking" footsteps came into Xiao Baiyan's ears, and he was stunned for a moment, his face turned from sadness to joy, and the boy was saved! He turned around and saw an old couple holding a broken umbrella passing through his body and coming to the boy. The old woman squatted, took a breath of probing the boy, her face was happy, and said: "Great, the baby is still alive, the old immortal quickly carries him back, I will make him some ginger soup to drink, he will be fine!"

The old man hesitated for a while, nodded, handed the umbrella to the old woman, squatted, grabbed the boy's hand, buckled it to his back, sighed and said, "Alas, this child is so pitiful!" The old woman nodded, held the boy's back, pushed gently, and said in a hurry: "Old immortal, less nonsense, saving people is important, don't mutter!"

The two men carried the child on their backs and ran all the way to a tiled house, and then they got in. The Nawa room is neat and clean, simple and elegant, divided into three bedrooms: the middle hall, the left kitchen, and the right bedroom. The old man looked hurried and carried the boy into the bedroom. The bedroom is well furnished, with wooden tables, chairs, washbasin shelves, cabinets, etc. The old man gently put down the boy and touched his forehead, which was extremely hot, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, but he listened to the old woman behind him: "Old immortal, you quickly find a piece of clothing for the baby to change, and I will go to the kitchen to make some ginger soup for the baby!" The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "Alas!"

The old man walked to the cabinet, rummaged through the cabinets, found a few pieces of clothing, and held them, and looked stunned, tears fell from his eyes, and muttered: "Alas, Kui'er, how are you doing in prison? Have you suffered hardships? Have you been warmly clothed and fed? Do you understand the truth that there is no good reward for evil?" After speaking, the old man wiped his tears, shook his head, and changed the clothes for the boy.

At this moment, a man walked in from the outside with a panicked look and whispered: "Daddy, the child is back!" The old man was stunned when he heard this, and came out of the bedroom, and saw a man standing in the middle hall, the man was soaked, unkempt, and was picking up a cup to drink. The old man suddenly smiled, patted the man's shoulder, and said happily: "Good boy, you have finally been released from prison, Daddy is happy for you!"

The man was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked, saw the old man's face full of wrinkles, his heart ached, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Unfilial son Zhang Kui to see Daddy!" Suddenly, the old man looked stunned, the old man burst into tears, nodded, and saw that the old woman didn't know yet, and hurriedly called: "The child is his mother, Kui'er is back!" As soon as these words came out, the old woman ran out of the kitchen, hugged him forward, and cried: "My son is finally back!

After the old woman finished speaking, she pulled Zhang Kui to sit down, looked up and down, and saw that he was thin into a pipa bone, and said distressedly: "My son, you have suffered!" Zhang Kui smiled bitterly, shook his head, and replied: "The child did not suffer, but the mother is getting older and older!" The old woman touched his face and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, stay at home in the future, be a person again, and don't do anything like stealing chickens and dogs anymore!"

At this time, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Kui's face panicked, burst into tears, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said: "Daddy, the child is sorry for you, the child can't stay here for a long time, you have to leave immediately!" The old woman was stunned when she heard this, and asked: "What, you just came back, are you leaving? What's going on?" Zhang Kui stopped talking, shook his head, and said: "Daddy, the child will be relieved to see that you are all right!" After speaking, his body flashed, rushed into the rain, and disappeared into the distance.

Seeing that the two old men were at a loss, they said in unison: "My son, where are you going? This is your home!" For a long time, Zhang Kui's echo was not heard in the rain, but three big men walked out. A bald man stepped forward, mentioned the old man, and shouted: "This is Zhang Kui's home!" The old man was already timid and afraid, and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, I don't know what the good man is about?"

The bald man glared, pinched the old man's neck with his hand, and replied: "That's good, come, go in and search, see if he is hiding here!" The other two biao men nodded, broke into the tiled house, rummaged through the cabinets for a while, and saw no trace of Zhang Kui, and came out together and replied: "Head, except for a child, there is no one else inside!" The bald man was stunned when he heard this, his brows tightened, and he shouted at the old man: "Where is Zhang Kui, you should know!" The old man listened to his heart trembling, cold sweat broke out, and he said hesitantly: " How does the old man know where he is?"

The bald man looked angry, "phew", the tiger's eyes glared again, and sneered: "Old immortal, don't think I don't know that you are protecting your son, hmph, I don't believe that he won't go to my Black Wind Village, come on, bring that old woman and that child back to Black Wind Village!"

Xiao Baiyan, who was standing at the door, was taken aback when he heard this, turned around, walked through the stone wall, came to the bedroom, walked in front of the boy, and called: "Child, wake up quickly, there are bad people coming to arrest you, you run away!" The boy frowned, turned over and sat up, and looked at the side for a moment, as if he had noticed something. Xiao Baiyan looked at Yixi, thinking that he had seen him, and hurriedly shouted: "Child, get up quickly, you have to leave here as soon as possible!" Before he finished speaking, he saw a biao man passing through his body, shivering, grabbed the boy with his big hand, and carried it on his shoulder.
