This night, I was destined to be drowned in the deep sea of memories and regrets.

Go back to your room and hide under the covers. The past is like the pages of a book blown over by the wind, turning them one by one. Every scene is familiar, but it flashes by.

Suddenly, a steady and orderly footstep came from the courtyard. Slowly getting closer, getting closer......

But the next moment, the footsteps suddenly stopped. The sound of footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and the wooden door of my room made two muffled sounds. "Knock knock!"

"Cheng'er, are you sleeping?"

It's the father! Father's voice sounded outside the door, a slow, heavy tone, less decisive than ever.

“……”

I didn't speak, I was afraid that I would choke up that especially when I spoke. Although the father's voice was already hoarse, it was obvious.

"If you lie down, you don't have to get up. I discussed it with your mother, and I thought it was time to take you to a few shops under the Ai family. We'll leave early tomorrow morning......"

I struggled with my thoughts for a long time, and I was depressed for a long time, but I didn't make a sound.

"Okay, let's go to bed early......"

Soon, his father and his footsteps gradually drifted away......

……

I retracted into the covers, my fists clenched. The potted touch is the countless wounds......

The abrasions of the iron rods, the blood from the nails stuck in the flesh, and the marks of the bite of the two little snakes that day. I've really had too many injuries lately, and it seems like I've experienced all the misfortunes in my life.

I stroked the palm of my right hand with my left hand, then the back of my hand. There are all kinds of traces, good ones, bad ones, painful ones, and non-painful ones......

Unconsciously, I remembered the scene behind the Baizu Mountain that day, the moment when the Wolf Dynasty pounced.

"I remember being bitten off by it, why didn't I have any scars? On the contrary, the abrasions of the iron rods and the tooth marks of the two snakes have not healed to this day......"

I muttered to myself for some reason. I can't figure out the reasons for the past, and I can't read the unknown whereabouts.

At this time, how would I know that the iron rod that I dug out of the dry well in the backyard would be the bloody soldier master who was famous all over the world a few years later-Candlelight.

How could I have foreseen that the gods and demons of the heavens, who could make sentient beings rise and fall by themselves, would be these three weak puppies in front of me?

Who destroyed me? Who have I destroyed again?

It's God!

……

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on my cheeks through the window screen, my father and I had already taken a carriage out of Hanshui Town for a long distance.

Early in the morning, when the girl woke me up from sleep and dragged me out of the bed, Xuanyan's sister-in-law was already standing at the door and looking at me and smiled helplessly.

And when I was hiding like a bird, covering my body with a quilt, I came over in a hurry. He handed me a new, slightly clean coat and smiled. At this time, there was no light in sight. But that sweet smile is so bright......

I knew that my sister-in-law got up early every day, but I didn't know that she would wake up so early, let alone me who never woke up at this point.

After a few bites of an extremely hearty breakfast, I set out on the road to Haoyang Town under my father's arrangement.

……

"Yue'er, do you guess that my brother is looking forward to becoming the head of the Ai family and taking over all the properties of the Ai family?"

I ran my fingers at the ears of the three puppies in front of me, my eyes fixed on them. However, these words were said to Yue'er beside him.

Yue'er straightened up, stared at my side face for a while, and said hesitantly: "Yue'er doesn't know." But Yue'er thinks that the eldest young master will not value the position of the head of the family. ”

"Is it because my father said he wanted to pass the throne to me?"

"That's not the reason." Yue'er vetoed. "Yue'er thinks that the words of the white-bearded immortal grandfather are the real reason why the eldest young master is willing to give up all this."

"Whitebeard Immortal Grandpa? You mean that white-bearded old man who cheated on eating and drinking! ”

I still vividly remember what the old man with the white beard who had been invited into the house by my father had said to me and my brother on that red evening many years ago.

"If money represents a person's success, then the way to get it is the ugliest rag on the successful person. can put it in the hands of your Ai Qingyang, and you will interpret it into the most beautiful myth in the world, and you can surpass your father Ai Jianfan's business road. Are you ready to take on this responsibility? ”

"Life cannot be settled with circumstances, and if you enjoy prosperity, you will also suffer. There are not many forces in the world that can move the Ai family. moved your Ai Qingcheng, and it was even less pitiful. But God doesn't intend to give you too much luck, you have been displaced between life and death all your life, life and death, blessings and misfortunes are inseparable, can you survive? ”

"The pampered are pacing life and death, and the one who supports the heavens and the earth is extremely poor. The people of the world, who seem to be prosperous and wealthy all their lives, have experienced extraordinary suffering......"

I'll never forget my brother's performance. The invisible light flashed in his two eyes, and he took a step forward with righteous indignation: "I don't want to perform any bullshit myths, I want to cultivate immortals!" I will always protect my brother from harm......" And the next moment, my father and the white-bearded old man instantly turned into an ugly appearance like bitter melon. This is my brother......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air, and the fragrant interior was mixed with the cool earthy smell. It's the kind of damp and cold air that has settled all night, and the humidity that has not been filtered by the sun. I couldn't help but lift the curtain and poke my head out.

The road is lined with dense forests, and the distant forests are bottomless. Only the unknown bird was busy in the woods, and the unattended hare jumped into the distance. On the dirt road in the middle of the woods on both sides, five or six retinues on tall horses escorted the two chariots and horses slowly. These two carriages are naturally one for me and Yue'er, and one for my father. My father is in front, and I am in the back. and each is driven by a family member.

And the five who rode horses, in addition to the three little brothers Li, Wang, and Wu, there were also Lin Zhongqi and Lin Zhongshu.

Unlike the three little brothers, the three little brothers just followed my little fight. But Zhong Qi and Zhong Shu are one of the few masters who follow their father all the time.

"Master, did you sleep well?" Brother Ng, who was closest to me, asked.

I was embarrassed and denied: "Don't talk nonsense, how can I sleep!" ”

"Haha! Haha......"

When they heard my answer, the three of them laughed together. The upright Ang Xiaoge pointed to his right cheek, which may mean that I still have a mark on my face. In the face of the laughter of the three of them, I could only pretend to be calm, and my right hand awkwardly wiped the marks on my cheek when I was lying on Yue'er's lap just now.

"Where are we? Out of Hanshui Town? ”

"I just came out of Hanshui, and I have already entered the territory of Haoyang Town."

"I just squinted for a while, and I walked so far!" I can't help but feel how big the world is, how small the floating and ants are.

"Actually, the time is not short, it may be that the young master is talking and laughing in the car, and he doesn't realize that the road is far away. There was almost an hour left, and when the black bamboo mountain behind us was gone, we were not far from our destination. ”

"Black Bamboo Mountain ......"

I looked in the direction of Brother Wang's finger, and far behind me, a dangerous peak was mostly obscured by trees.

The dangerous peak is extremely unfamiliar, but it also feels familiar. "Black Bamboo Mountain? Is it Black Pig Mountain? ”

Brother Wang replied without thinking: "There are also people who call it Black Pig Mountain, but the accent is a little different." Black Pig Mountain ...... It won't be the black pig mountain in the Black Pig Village! ”

“……”

Brother Wang said again: "A few days before the eldest young master got married, Liu Dianwei personally visited the master. also flattered the old man that he had exterminated all the thieves in Black Pig Mountain. Unexpectedly, the old man didn't even say a word of thanks, and he didn't even invite him to the wedding of the eldest young master, so he sent Liu Dianwei away. ”

"I've heard about it, but I've heard that the thieves in the Black Pig Mountains were cut off with the same knife. I mean go down with a knife and kill dozens of people. I have heard that some of those men were beheaded and some were beheaded, some were cut in the head, some were cut in the chest. Wu Xiaoge swore that he would speak.

"Phew, don't say it's scary, it's scary."

Although Brother Li interrupted Brother Wu's words, he made me fall into the abyss. I couldn't help but wonder "If they really were killed by a knife, who would be so cruel?" Is it a Hook Falcon? ”

Thinking of this, I recalled that Zhao Linjie, Zhu Tao, and Ma Tuling seemed to have told me about the Black Pig Mountain that day. Could it really be that person who did it? I couldn't help but worry about my brother's safety.

I stared at the mountain closely, and at the junction of the clouds and the peaks, the golden light of the Tao shone like a god. In that golden light, the blood light penetrated and rose, like a blood mist.

I didn't pay attention to the fact that a flash of light flashed in the eyes of Lin Zhongqi and Lin Zhongshu. Compared with the bloody atmosphere of the black bamboo mountains, it is still full of flaws.
