Hearing that the village chief had returned, Zhang Chen jumped up happily, but not for the village chief, but for his father.

He had only seen his father and mother once for as long as he could remember, and then they had left the village with the chief, and according to the aunts, they seemed to have gone to explore the outside world, which worried him. At the same time, he was also afraid, he was afraid that he would forget his father's appearance after a long time.

Zhang Chen has been handed over to the elders by his father and mother since he was two years old, and he seems to be lively and heartless in the village every day, but in fact, everyone knows how much he misses his parents and how lonely he is. Every daytime, people can often see him standing at the entrance of the village wearing a red belly pocket, just hoping for the safe return of those people.

The aunts and aunts also feel sorry for this child, so they take good care of him, and of course he himself is enough to please them. Every day, I either went to help this aunt catch the sparrows that ate the grain field, or helped the lady steal the eggs just laid by the old hen, although the original intention was just to play, but it really helped them a lot.

This is estimated to be the fastest time Zhang Chen has run so much, but before his voice fell, the person had already run out. The elder and Zhang Mo looked at each other, only to hear the old man say: "Let's go and have a look, Zhang Chi, that old guy fortunately didn't die outside, hurry up and return this management position to him, my old bones can be relaxed for a few days!" Although his tone was indifferent and relaxed, it seemed to have a joking tone, but the fog in his eyes betrayed him.

Zhang Mo stepped forward to support the old man, and then shouted loudly to a group of children: "Today is a major event in the village! Your village chief and grandfather are back, so you won't practice the gong first, let's go!" ”

When the children heard this, they immediately rejoiced as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and then followed Zhang Mo and the others towards the entrance of the village.

Among their group of children, apart from Zhang Chen, who has not been cared for by the village chief, which one has not been kindly cared for by the village chief's grandfather? They really miss this amiable old man.

Village

"How are you, village chief?"

"Brother Ze, why are you so badly injured?!Sister-in-law?"

"Village Chief, don't scare me!"

A group of women and strong men had arrived at the entrance of the village at this time, looking at the old man who was being supported and the middle-aged man who was pale and weak, they were anxiously like ants on a hot pot circling around.

The old man was skinny, his gray hair was stained with blood, his face was full of mouths, the animal skin clothes he was wrapped in had long been tattered, the flesh and blood in his clothes were blurred, his face was as withered as a shriveled yellow cabbage leaf, his eyes were weakly closed, and his breathing was very weak.

And the middle-aged man was better than the old man, although he was not in good spirits, and he was covered with scars, but he could still stand, his face was like a knife, and his dark purple medium-length hair covered one eye, but it did not affect the majesty of his gaze in the slightest, only a little tired and vicissitudes. Standing nine feet tall, he was like a giant, standing there as if he could hold up the sky, giving people a very safe feeling.

"Dad!Mother!" The crisp voice sounded, and people looked back one after another, only to see the little Zhang Chenfei running over, and then hurriedly made way for him.

"Hey, mother?" When he came closer, Zhang Chen looked left and right, looked at the giant-like figure suspiciously, and asked.

"You're... I was delayed by some things and didn't come back, and when Chen'er grew up, my father will take you to find your mother... Okay?" the man's eyes seemed a little dim, and then he looked at the red-bellied child and smiled reluctantly.

The women in the crowd couldn't bear it, the eldest mother stood up directly from the crowd, and then directly picked up Zhang Chen and patted him on the back and comforted him softly: "Although the eldest mother doesn't know why your mother didn't follow your father back, but you have to believe him, he must count when he speaks!" After speaking, he looked at the man standing there.

Zhang Chen seemed a little disappointed, but nodded obediently.

"That's... Dad, what's wrong with the village chief's grandfather? Zhang Chen looked at the dying old man, jumped out of the arms of the eldest mother, and then came to the front of the village chief and asked with some worry.

"Well, the village chief's grandfather has nothing to do, just let grandpa take a break. Daddy takes you home and tells you interesting things about the year that Daddy has seen in the year when he can't see you. As if he didn't want Zhang Chen to worry too much, Zhang Ze slowly squatted down and stretched out his powerful arms, the meaning was self-evident.

Three steps and one step looked back at the old man who was already unconscious, as if he was still more worried, and refused to come to Zhang Ze's arms for a long time.

"Chen'er, it's okay! The village chief's grandfather just fell asleep tired, and it will be fine in two days. The eldest lady hurriedly said, and the others also understood, and then persuaded as well.

"Really, Chen'er, go home with your father!"

"Grandpa the village chief, we have us to take care of it here, don't worry, Chen'er. ”

"Yes, yes!"

......

"Really?" Zhang Chen was still a little worried, although he had only seen this old man when he was two years old, he was still worried about the old man.

"Well, really!" Zhang Ze said with great certainty, finally letting the little him hide his inner worries, and then ran into Zhang Ze's arms.

Zhang Ze picked him up slowly, frowning slightly, as if he was enduring great pain every time he lifted up, cold sweat continued to drip down from his forehead, but he held back and didn't let out a sigh, just to not make the little person more worried.

Picking up Zhang Chen, he walked in the direction of his home step by step, everyone was busy making way for him, looking at Zhang Ze's swaying steps, they were very worried, but in the end it only turned into a light sigh.

"Hmm, Brother Ze?!" Zhang Mo, who was helping the elder, rushed halfway, and happened to see him holding Zhang Chen with a pale face, Zhang Mo asked with concern: "Brother Ze, what's wrong with you? sister-in-law..."

Zhang Ze didn't reply, just sighed lightly, then shook his head and left.

"Let's go!" we hurried over, I'm afraid that Zhang Chi and they have encountered a big problem!" the elder said anxiously, his face full of sorrow, and then hurriedly urged.

"Okay, don't worry, Elder, I'll take you over right away. Zhang Mo felt that the situation was a little serious, suppressed the doubts in his stomach, and hurried towards the entrance of the village with the elders.

A group of children naturally heard the conversation, and they were very anxious, no one said hello to Zhang Chen, who had met, and hurriedly followed the two people in front of them to the entrance of the village.

Step by step, he was carried back home by Zhang Ze, Zhang Chen's home was a small room made of stones, and at this time Zhang Ze carried him to the house and gently put him on the bed.

Looking at Zhang Chen's young body, Zhang Ze seemed to have unloaded all his tiredness, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

smiled and touched Zhang Chen's little head, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Lie on the bed and wait for me to come back, Daddy will go take a bath first, otherwise there will be no way to kiss my lovely son." After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Chen to reply, he walked out of the door directly.

"Dad... It looks so strange!" Zhang Chen sat on the bed and scratched his buttocks, and then in a big shape, he lay on the bed and thought about it.

He originally thought that his mother and father were going to come back, but who knew that only his father and the village chief's grandfather would come back, and they were still seriously injured.

He wasn't stupid, even though he was only three years old at the time, he had seen his uncles sometimes come back from serious injuries while hunting, but he knew that his father had concealed all this so as not to worry him, and would have told him if he wanted to.

It didn't take long for Zhang Ze to come back. Not only did I change my clothes, but my mental state seemed to be much better.

Looking at Zhang Chen, who was lying in a big shape, he laughed and sat down on the edge of the bed. Zhang Chen hurriedly wanted to get up, but was stopped by Zhang Ze, only to see him looking out the window and being silent for a long time.

I don't know when, he sighed softly, looked back at Zhang Chen, who was staring at him with big eyes, his face gradually became serious, and then said in a deep voice: "Chen'er, I want to tell you something......"

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

"What! besides our village, there are other villages and even larger tribes in the outside world?" the elder shouted in disbelief as he looked at the withered old man lying on the bed in shock.
