On the mountain road, the wind was gusting, Xiao Mu raised his hand to cover his eyes and looked at the sun slanting to the west.

Seeing that the sun was about to set in the western mountains, it was not early. Today's sun seems to be extraordinarily dazzling, and there is a halo around the reddened sun, which is as gorgeous as a rainbow.

Xiao Mu turned her head to look in the direction of her mother, the woman was still looking down to pick herbs, and from time to time she put the herbs in her hand into the back basket, and even forgot to wipe the sweat on her forehead.

"Mother!" Xiao Mu called in a low voice, asking softly, "Shouldn't we go back?"

Hearing this, the mother looked up at the sky, and immediately smiled at her embarrassedly, and said kindly, "It's so late, should I go back!"

The mother cleaned up the herbs in the basket, put them on her back, smiled gently, and stretched out her hand, "Come ......"

Xiao Mu clenched the small hoe in his hand and ran in the direction of his mother, but stopped in a hurry because he ran too fast. She happily grabbed her mother's hand, and the two walked in the direction of home.

Xiao Mu raised her head, looked at her mother's side face, and asked, "Mother, how long do you say the herbs we picked today will last?"

The corner of her mother's mouth smiled, her eyes were gentle, and she whispered softly, "Three months!"

Xiao Mu nodded lightly, and said, "Is the daughter-in-law of the second eldest mother's family about to give birth?"

The woman seemed to be patient at all times, and she smiled, "There is still some time. ”

"I don't know if I gave birth to a boy or a girl......

"Xiao Mu wants her to give birth to a boy and a girl?" The smile on the woman's face was even worse.

"I want a little sister!" Xiao Mu smiled shyly, "That way, she can play with me!"

The woman was about to say something, when suddenly there was a strong wind, and the wind whistled through the mountain path, bringing a rustling sound, and the fallen leaves on the ground also swirled with the wind, and did not fall for a long time.

"Mother......" Xiao Mu was a little scared, and shouted timidly, "I'm afraid ......"

The mother's hand holding Xiao Mu became tighter and tighter, she looked up at the sky, her brows furrowed tightly, and she whispered, "Is it finally here?"

Xiao Mu looked at her mother blankly, the wind and clouds changed, she never understood.

"Let's go, let's go back quickly!" the mother took her hand and strode forward. Xiao Mu couldn't keep up a little and gasped slightly.

Xiao Mu wanted her mother to slow down several times, but she still endured the words when they came to her mouth. The mother walks so fast, there must be a reason for her.

The two hurried back to the hut, and the mother put down the basket and went into the house, took out a pen and paper to write a letter.

"Ah Mu?" The mother moved the brush in her hand, and called to her, "Go and bring out the pigeon that my mother kept in the kitchen!"

"Okay!" Xiao Mu answered, ran into the kitchen, and lifted out the iron cage with pigeons hanging on the beam.

The mother wrote the letter, folded it, put it on the pigeon's leg, and went outside the house to release it.

The mother looked at the sky, with a serious face, obviously the sky was clear just now, but at this moment it was dark clouds. It was like a precursor to some bad news.

Xiao Mu called again, but her voice trembled, "Mother......"

The mother went into the back room, pounded in the cabinet a few times, and turned out a sword from it.

She took Xiao Mu's hand, took her a few steps, turned her head, and threw a fire fold into the house.

The wooden house was immediately on fire. The fire intensified, engulfing the entire hut.

Xiao Mu became more and more scared in her heart, she always felt that something bad would happen, she looked at her mother with a determined face, and called, "Mother......"

"Let's go!" my mother will take you somewhere else!" my mother squatted down, stroked the broken hair on her forehead, and said gently, "Haven't you always wanted to go elsewhere?"

"Okay......" Xiao Mu nodded obediently and followed her mother and gradually walked away.

The house behind him disappeared in the flames.

It was getting dark, Xiao Mu was very hungry, her legs were sore and soft, and her whole body was swollen and painful.

"Mother...... "Mother " she finally couldn't help asking, "When are we going?"

The mother stroked her head and coaxed, "Amu, hold on, it's almost there!"

At this moment, the wind was howling not far away, sweeping through the woods one after another, and the sound was cold, which made people feel creepy when they heard it.

The mother held Xiao Mu tightly and pulled her along the path to run.

Xiao Mu only felt that his lungs were about to burn, and his throat was very dry. Her steps were empty, and she was about to lose her run......

The wind around them was even louder, and in the midst of the fierce wind, they saw a flash of white light, and the ground behind them was instantly scorched.

Xiao Mu was so shocked that she almost cried, but she endured it and continued to run forward.

There were several flashes of white light behind them again, and the two of them could dodge.

Suddenly, the white light flourished, and the radius of several miles was illuminated, as if it were day. At the height of the white light, a sword shot out, drawing a long arc in the air.

Xiao Mu exclaimed, she could almost feel the burning sensation brought by the light. At the last moment, the hand held by her mother seemed to suddenly become stronger, and she was encircled in her arms and protected tightly.

Xiao Mu was terrified and shouted, "Mother......"

The mother threw herself on the ground, and the "wow" spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood gushed out from her back and sprinkled it on her face.

"Run...... Don't look back!" Mother let go of her and yelled at her, "Run-"

Xiao Mu staggered, stood up, and subconsciously looked at his mother in person, the seven people wearing cloaks were like people from hell.

The tall man in the middle, holding a scepter, exuded an icy aura.

Xiao Mu ran, kept running, fell and got up, got up and fell again.

I don't know how long it took, but she was hungry and sleepy, and fell to the ground.

She struggled to stand up, but she couldn't muster her strength and couldn't stand up.

Her eyes couldn't stop flowing, and when she was about to despair in her heart, in a haze, she saw a middle-aged man running towards her in the distance. has an excellent temperament, and at first glance he is not an ordinary person.

Who can this person be if he is not Nangong Yi?

Immediately afterward, she was lifted up by a strong arm and encircled in her arms.

There was a look of urgency between his eyebrows, and he asked anxiously, "Where is your mother?"

"Save ...... Save your mother's ......" Xiao Mu sobbed, and her words were not good, "Blood, a lot of blood......"

Nangong Yi hugged her and walked back quickly, extremely fast, like a gale.

After a while, I arrived at the place where I was originally separated from my mother.

I don't know why, the trees fell one after another, and on the emptiest ground, there was a person lying quietly.

She was covered in blood and her eyes were closed. She lay there quietly, as if she had fallen asleep, and the light of the sword in her hand dissipated, leaving only an ethereal dead silence......

"Mother......" Xiao Mu shouted heartbreakingly, broke free from Nangong Yi's arms and fell to the ground.

She trembled and crawled towards her mother, unwilling to accept the fact that she had left.

"Mother......" Xiao Mu roared and threw herself on the cold corpse......
