Chapter 15: Homecoming
On an unknown trail in the Wusheng area, a young man in white was running tirelessly at noon, with a burning wind and a scorching sun.
The young man's sweat-soaked shirt was clinging to his body, and the beads of sweat covered his forehead, even if it slipped into his eyes, he didn't care, and when he fell, he got up and continued to run forward, with a resolute face.
"Ten back and forth, ten back and forth, keep going, keep going!" the boy muttered to himself.
This young man was none other than Wu Yan, who was called by Mo Ju to run ten round-trips.
Wu Yan had already run two times at this time, and was running a third round-trip, and the empty path stretched to the horizon as if it had no end, so confused, so far away. Wu Yan's thin figure seemed so small compared to all this.
The sunset rises, and the sun sets.
Mo Ju was dressed in white, clasped his hands horizontally, and stood at the door of the Mo Mansion, looking into the distance. Wu Qing sat cross-legged beside him, his eyes closed, as if he was practicing.
On the steps at the door, there was still Mo Yunxiao with a boring face, holding his chin with one hand, and constantly drawing circles on the steps with the other, staring at Wu Qing who was meditating not far away.
"Hehe, I knew he wouldn't come back, so you don't have to wait, go back. Mo Ju saw that the sky was gradually darkening, and said to the two, with a look on his face that I already knew such an expression.
"Master, go back first, Qing'er wait. Wu Qing said without opening his eyes.
"Whatever you want, come to me at any time if you have any questions, and go back to the house first as a teacher. Mo Ju saw that Wu Qing had no intention of leaving, and he didn't say anything, and entered the gate by himself.
Seeing this, Mo Yunxiao immediately rolled his eyes, and tiptoed to follow Mo Ju into the gate.
"Primitive, you stop for me, don't leave!" At this time, Wu Qing suddenly opened his eyes and yelled at Mo Yunxiao.
Mo Yunxiao was trembling by Wu Qing's roar, touched his head and laughed twice, and then cowered back to the steps and sat down.
Seeing this, Mo Ju laughed twice and left.
"Hey, primitive, do you think something will happen to my brother?" asked Wu Qing with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, auntie, your brother's clothes have the logo of my Mo family, and no one dares to touch him in this lifeless area. Mo Yunxiao patted his chest and said arrogantly.
After Wu Qing heard what Mo Yunxiao said, he closed his eyes and stopped talking, but the worry on his face did not subside.
"Grandma, I'll go get some food, and then come back and wait with you, okay?" Mo Yunxiao touched his belly that made a "gurgling" sound, and begged.
"No, I can't. Wu Qing replied without looking at it.
"No, don't let people live, it's unreasonable, woo woo! Aren't you hungry?"
"My brother hasn't eaten, and he must be hungry now, so we'll stay with him. ”
Mo Yunxiao: ".................."
One hour, two hours, three hours, time passed little by little, and the people who came in and out of the Mo Mansion were always some children of the Mo family, as well as some descendants of the Mo family, but they didn't see Wu Yan's figure.
The cold wind was blowing in the bright full moon, Wu Qing was still sitting at the door, and Mo Yunxiao was lying on the steps, touching his forehead with one hand, pressing his stomach with the other, and there was a "whine" sound in his mouth from time to time, looking like the end was approaching......
What the two didn't notice was that on a courtyard wall in the Mo Mansion, there was a man in white who was watching them from a distance, it was the second child of the Mo family, Mo Ju.
Mo Ju sometimes looked at the sky, sometimes looked into the distance, and sometimes looked at Wu Qing and Mo Yunxiao, at this time, his face did not appear to laugh as normal, but was replaced by full of kindness.
A few more hours passed, and it was almost early in the morning, and the sky was slowly white.
Wu Qing curled up at the door of the Mo Mansion, it seemed that he couldn't support it in the middle of the night and fell asleep, and he was still draped with a blanket that I don't know who covered it.
On the steps of the gate, Mo Yunxiao was lying on his back, with a sigh on his mouth, and a "grunting" sound came from his stomach from time to time, and he didn't know what he dreamed of in his dreams, and his face was satisfied.
At this time, a white dot appeared in the distance, and as time passed, the white dot slowly grew larger, gradually turning into a thin figure, like a teenager.
The young man held on to the wall on the side of the road, and walked step by step towards Mofu with difficulty, falling to the ground from time to time, and then getting up and continuing to walk, looking like he was struggling.
After a while, the young man's figure became more and more obvious, and his haggard face became clear, and it was Wu Yan.
Wu Yan went through a lot of hardships at this time, and finally completed the task of Mo Ju's "ten round-trips", but the result was unsatisfactory, because it was early in the morning, which was obviously too far from what Mo Ju said before dawn.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Mo Mansion, Wu Yan was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Why did Qing'er sleep here?Could it be that she was kicked out by the Mo family?What's the matter with her demeanor?" Wu Yan hurriedly walked towards Wu Qing and wanted to help her up to see the situation, but her legs were weak and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
At this time, Mo Ju came out of the gate and happened to see this scene.
"I'm back. Mo Ju looked at Wu Yan and said.
"Master, the disciple is incompetent. Wu Yan lowered his head in some shame.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to come back before dawn, keep working hard, and when you can come back before dawn, I will officially teach you Chong Dan. At this time, Mo Ju returned to his usual laughing appearance, staring at Wu Yan and smiling.
"Master, what's going on......" Wu Yan pointed at Wu Qing and Mo Yunxiao, and asked weakly, a pair of eyelids kept closing one by one, as if he would fall asleep at any time.
"Your sister sat at this door all night in order to wait for you, and poor my nephew was also pulled by her, and slept on this staircase for the night, and you brother and sister have a deep affection. Mo Ju replied.
"Wait for me for a night......" After Wu Yan listened to Mo Ju's words, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at the two tear stains on Wu Qing's face.
Just as Mo Ju was about to open his mouth to continue speaking, he saw Wu Yan collapse to the ground with a "bang", and after a while, he cried out.
“...... These three little ancestors are really bald. Mo Ju saw that the three of them were falling asleep at the door, and chuckled.
Immediately, he took out a pill and stuffed it into Wu Yan's mouth, and then lifted Wu Qing on his shoulder, grabbed Wu Yan with one hand, and grabbed Mo Yunxiao with the other hand and entered the Mo Mansion.
A few months later, in the mountains behind Chushui Town, in a dense forest.
