Chapter 2: The Past (1)

Rewind the clock to nine years ago.

A caravan walked on the road, where the mountains and mountains were barren and sparsely populated. There is an eerie atmosphere along the way, as if danger is happening at any time.

Boxes of goods and treasures filled the cart, and the horses struggled to pull them, leaving deep rut marks on each passing place.

Inside the carriage sat a ten-year-old child and an old man.

"Grandfather, are we going home?" The child raised his head and asked the old man, looking at the old man's face with crystal clear eyes, and his immature voice was so clean.

"yes, Feng'er, haven't you had enough fun?" The old man stroked the child's head with a look of pity.

"Grandfather, Feng'er didn't come out to play, Feng'er came to help grandfather work, so that grandfather wouldn't have to work so hard."

"Feng'er is so good, you have to grow up quickly, your grandfather is old, and this family business will have to be handed over to you to take care of in the future."

"Then why doesn't Daddy help Grandpa take care of it?"

Xiao Feng's immature eyes were full of doubts, after all, his father was in the prime of life, wouldn't this family business be handed over to him sooner or later?

"Your father is dedicated to being an official in the court, and he can't let go of fame and fortune. Feng'er, you must keep this family business for your grandfather, in case your father's officialdom fails in the future, at least he can have a place to go. ”

The old man said earnestly, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his heart. Today's emperor is mediocre and has no way to govern the country, and he has persuaded his son countless times not to work hard for such a court, but he does not listen to his insistence on being loyal to the country, and the old man has no choice but to be anxious in his heart.

"I see, grandfather. Feng'er will work hard. ”

"Feng'er is so well~"

The old man melted into Xiao Feng's innocent eyes and hugged Xiao Feng tightly into his arms.

The grandfather and grandson were enjoying their family fun, when suddenly the carriage stopped suddenly, and the two were startled.

The old man opened the curtain, and a group of men in black surrounded the caravan with long swords. The fierce gods were vicious, and the long swords in their hands were shining and smelling of blood.

"Feng'er, don't be afraid, hide inside and don't come out."

The old man hid Xiao Feng in the carriage, and then pulled the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

"Are you impatient, you dare to rob my Xiao Aotian's things."

The old man did not show the slightest panic in the face of the robbers. After all, I have been doing business on the rivers and lakes for so many years, often fighting and killing, and I have never seen any ups and downs.

"I don't care who you are, if you want to pass from Lao Tzu's territory, you have to leave something, brothers, on!" The man in black in the lead said viciously.

Xiao Aotian's subordinates are also experienced in battles, and in the face of this kind of scene, they calmly raised their weapons and fought with the bandits, and the teams of the two sides quickly became entangled together, and the scene was chaotic.

Xiao Feng hid in the carriage and didn't dare to look out, listening to the sound of weapons colliding outside and the heart-rending shouts of killing, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Suddenly, the two of them fought in front of the carriage and startled the horse, and the horse pulled Xiao Feng and rushed forward regardless of it.

Xiao Feng was bumped in the carriage and couldn't move, and grabbed the window of the carriage tightly.

"Save the little master!"

After discovering the situation, everyone chased after the carriage, but they were thrown off again and again.

Xiao Aotian was entangled with a group of people at this time, and he couldn't get out of it for a long time.

The carriage ran farther and farther away, and it seemed that it was about to reach a cliff.

At this time, a little girl was carrying a basket of herbs on her back and humming a song happily walking home.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves running in the distance, she looked up to see a carriage running frantically towards the cliff.

"Who is this? Don't die! The little girl thought to herself.

So he walked to the front, waved his hands vigorously, and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Don't go any further, don't go any further, there's a cliff ahead! ”

The little girl cried out anxiously, but the carriage seemed to get faster and faster.

The moment the wind blew the curtains, she saw a face full of fear.

"Little brother, jump down! Come on! ”

The little girl kept shouting as she chased the carriage. I kept thinking that with such a high cliff, there would be no chance of survival if I fell.

Xiao Feng was frightened by the girl's shout, seeing that the carriage was about to rush off the cliff, Xiao Feng jumped, but still fell most of his body, he grabbed the cliff stubbornly, and his body hung in the air.

The carriage fell to the bottom of the cliff due to the tremendous force of the impact and shattered.

Xiao Feng clutched the stone on the cliff wall tightly, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, wetting his clothes, as time passed, his physical exertion became greater and greater, and he was about to slip down.

Just when he was about to lose his support, suddenly a small hand grabbed his hand tightly that was about to slip off.

"Little brother, grab me, don't let go, work hard!" Before Xiao Feng could raise his head, he heard a little girl's immature voice coming from overhead.

The little girl gritted her teeth and desperately dragged Xiao Feng up. After all, it was a girl with limited strength, and her face was flushed, but she couldn't pull Xiao Feng.

"Let it go, you can't pull me." Xiao Feng said to the girl, after all, she looked so weak.

"I won't let it go! I'm going to save you! But the little girl refused to let go.

"If you don't let go, even you'll die!"

"I won't let it go, it's a big deal that we'll die together!"

The little girl tried her best to grab Xiao Feng's hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng stopped talking, so he had to use all his strength to climb up.

"Ah~"

The two exerted their strength at the same time, and Xiao Feng finally staggered onto the cliff.

He took the little girl's hand and lay in her arms. I saw her crystal clear eyes staring at herself with concern. These eyes are so clean, so charming. Xiao Feng seemed to be caught in it, unable to extricate himself.

The huge impact coupled with the fright just now, Xiao Feng's head was full of blood, he felt exhausted, and he fainted in the darkness in front of him.

When Xiao Feng woke up again, he was lying in a cave not far away. The wound on the head has been bandaged with herbs.

He slowly looked up and saw a little girl about his own age sitting next to the campfire.

The flickering light of the fire reflected her clear silhouette and handsome cheeks. His long hair hung down on his coarse cloth clothes, and although he was dressed as a farmer, he was still fresh and refined, and he never got tired of looking at it.

is such a woman, kind and helpful. I don't know myself in my life, but I don't hesitate to give up my life to save myself. Since I was a child, I am afraid that no one has been so good to Xiao Feng except for my father and grandfather.

"Little brother, are you awake?" She saw Xiao Feng wake up and get up and walk over.

"How do you feel? Still have a headache? ”

The little girl touched Xiao Feng's head with concern.

"I'm much better, thank you for saving me." Xiao Feng sat up with some difficulty.
