In the boundless darkness, two lone lamps are out of reach.

"Mother—"

He crawls at the end of the darkness, with endless sorrow.

"Scar, stay up! No matter how hard it is, you have to get through! What doesn't kill you will make you strong! ”

Across the distance of thousands of mountains and rivers, there is always a voice, deafening.

"Mother—"

He knew that in this life, he was destined to be inseparable from her.

"The road you walk, from the moment you are born, is destined to be a hard struggle, you must always stay awake, never be able to rest, otherwise, you may lose all your efforts in an instant!"

Her clear eyes shine with the brightest light, and through it, just one glance, you can see the past, pregnant with wind, frost, rain and snow.

"Traces! Hang it out! Gotta get through it......"

As the star began to fade away, the sound faded out.

"Mother!"

He still couldn't hold her hand, just like thirteen years ago, like in several dreams, he could only watch her get farther and farther away from him, in this place where only the heartbeat could be heard, weakly, hoarsely.

Mo Cang Wuxian suddenly opened his eyes in the dark, and a little tear stained his eyes brightened.

He used to think that in this place where day and night could not be distinguished, there was no difference between opening and closing eyes, but now he knew that it was different.

"Fourth brother, this king has come to see you again, are you asleep? Or awake? ”

Mocang Wuji held a torch high and walked in, with a peaceful smile on his face.

It's normal not to hear his reply, these days, every time he comes, this fourth brother of his, almost doesn't want to deal with him.

As he drew nearer, the light of the fire illuminated his figure more and more clearly, and he realized that he was not asleep, but awake, smiled at him, and then set the torch habitually.

When you walk to the iron cage, you bow down, put the food box in your hand on the ground, and stuff the food inside into the cage little by little.

"I said the fourth brother! What are you doing with a sullen face and not talking all day long? Let me tell you, in such a dark place, if you don't speak for too long, it's easy to lose your voice. If you are dumb, who will quarrel with this king in the future? How shall this king hear thee cry, and how shall he hear thee weep? ”

As he spoke, he actually laughed at himself.

After picking up all the food, he sighed, slowly stood up, clapped his hands, raised his eyebrows, and found that his fourth brother still looked unwilling to take care of him, which was really a little boring.

He simply stopped looking at him, his eyes swept over the waterhole below him, and he bent his back and quietly observed the interesting little creatures.

The three-legged little water frog suddenly jumped out of the water, frightening the swarms of water spiders floating on the surface of the water and moving forward quickly, like small boats.

There was a small hole in the wall of the grotto near the water, wet, black holes, a pair of eyes the size of mung beans suddenly opened, and tongues thinner than a needle, spit out, as if they were probing the situation outside the cave.

A colorful little snake slowly crawled out, and it seemed that it should be a blind poisonous snake.

"Fourth brother, my father has been worried about you recently, and he has been sick in bed almost all day, and he hasn't even been in the morning court for the past few days. Are you happy to hear this? ”

He twisted his neck and glanced back at him, "Shouldn't you be happy that your father has even put on a dragon body for you, and has been so greatly favored?" ”

There was a "ding-dong" sound on the surface of the water, there were ripples, but they were not very noticeable. In the blink of an eye, the little snake was gone.

"But then again, you are used to your father's favor on you on weekdays, so you should have taken grace for granted a long time ago!"

He suddenly sneered, more like he was laughing at himself. Slowly squatted down, casually folded a root of aquatic grass standing out of the water, held it in the palm of his hand, and played with it.

"But don't worry, my father has fallen, isn't there still me? Now that you are not in the East Palace, this East Palace has long been in a mess, and there is a lot of trouble all day long. I'm just sighing, I've seen people's hearts for a long time, and they fly separately when disaster comes, hey, it seems that the fourth brother still has a lack of thought in employing people. ”

Mo Cang Wuxi's two eyebrows furrowed even tighter, almost intertwined.

"It's unreliable and useless at critical moments. I often wonder, if this desert is gone, hey, can it still exist? ”

I saw a zigzag curve, twisting and twisting from the surface of the water. The figure of the little snake finally appeared. He couldn't help but tease it with waterweed, causing it to stick out its tongue and make a "hissing" sound, and its two eyes stared at him directly, and he realized that it was not blind.

"At this critical moment, I have to come, no one can do it, but me." He smiled confidently, abandoned the water weeds, and lazily propped himself up, "Fourth brother, in your opinion, do you think this king can hold up the whole world?" ”

He stood with his hands in his hands and turned his head to ask him. didn't wait for the answer from his mouth, but was given a cold eye. "You don't believe it? Hum! You're exactly like the old horseman! ”

He gritted his teeth, and in an instant, his cold lips locked the thousands of anger surging in his heart, and the picture of being reprimanded by his father in the East Palace that day was vividly remembered.

Looking sideways, it took a long time before he spoke: "You guys wait!" One day, this king will make every one of you believe! This king wants you to prostrate at the feet of this king one by one, and look at the appearance of this king on the high, and when that time comes, you will believe if you don't believe it! "Girls

With that, he glared angrily, turned away, and flicked his sleeves "whirring".

After a few steps, his gaze returned to the food, "Eat early!" Only by living will you have the opportunity to see the success of this king. ”

The little snake jumped into the water, causing a ripple, and then the silence returned to all around.

Mocang Wuji stepped on a fast step, and after leaving the grotto dungeon, he habitually took a turn in the underground palace.

Although the entire underground palace is a little ruined, the scale is very large, as the so-called, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

In the place where the weapons are smelted, the sparks are shining, one moment is like day, and the other is like a night market, and a sword, gun, sword, halberd, axe, hook and fork are born in the tempering day and night.

"Meet the prince!"

When they saw the regent, they stopped what they were doing and bowed down one after another.

Mocang Wuji waved his hand, nodded, and motioned for them to continue their work, and then turned into a relatively dimly lit palace.

The whole palace is extremely large, and eight large pillars support the heaven and earth of this palace. Standing in front of the palace, the layers of ancient steps are covered with moss; At the foot of the steps, the procession of training soldiers and horses was lined up in an orderly manner, and when they saw the regent, they took off their helmets and abandoned their weapons, and greeted them on one knee: "Meet the prince!" ”

The action is done in one go, without dragging mud and water, and the voice is generous and powerful, like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Mocang Wuji bowed to them with satisfaction, his eyes shining with longing.

At this time, the wolf appeared from behind him, "Lord Wang, the news from the palace has just arrived." As he spoke, he presented the letter to Movic Wuji.

Mo Cangwuji took the letter, and when he saw what the letter said, the stars in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and the sharp wolf teeth slowly appeared.

"Lord Wang?" The wolf tilted his head and smiled at Mocang Wuji.

I don't know what I'm laughing at.

On Limin Mountain, the clouds cover the mist, and the verdant mountains overlap and overlap, like the undulating waves on the sea, surging and surging and majestic.

The hazy distant mountains, shrouded in a layer of light veil, are full of shadows, flickering far and near in the misty clouds and smoke, if they are about to leave, like a few light strokes of ink, smeared on the blue sky.

The water in the furnace has just boiled, and it is bubbling with clouds of white gas, which slowly drifts with the wind like the clouds, lingering the strange flowers and plants everywhere, and it seems to have become the ancient Penglai depicted in the scriptures.

Bai Bait took a wooden spoon and scooped the boiling water into the hot water bottle little by little, and the action was extremely delicate. Behind her, there was a steep mountain, with jagged stone walls, and it was said that it was leeward from here, so she simply built a thatched hut next to a stone wall.

Although the thatched hut is simple, it can also shelter from the wind and snow, he is a Jianghu person, he is used to sleeping in the open air, he can use the ground as a bed, and take the sky as a quilt, thinking that she will not be used to such a vulgar life for a while and a half, so she has to cut down good trees, and built a simple couch overnight, as well as a three-piece set of wooden tables, wooden benches, and wooden basins.

The place to live is temporary, so I want to find some food, and I will leave the goods early in the morning and shout that I am hungry, so I took the mountain spring water, washed it briefly, and flew to the back mountain, saying that I was looking for some food and was going to eat a big meal at noon.

Bai Bait cupped his forehead, looked up at the sky, and thought that it was almost noon, and this person should also come back.

In the blink of an eye, lo and behold, he was back.

"I'm back!"

On the grass path in the distance, the general came swaggeringly with a bunch of things on his shoulders.

"I went so early, why did I come back so late?"

The hot water bottle was filled, and the white bait was busy boiling new water, and his eyes were not empty. Scooping water, lighting fires, adding firewood, and being busy.

"It's just a few more mountains, it's not too late, is it? Just in time for lunch! "Will be elated to approach the white bait, deliberately shaking the food on his shoulder in front of her eyes." White bait, look! ”

"Rabbits? Wolf? Sky! Bai Bait was stunned for a moment, the wooden spoon in his palm slipped off instantly, and he asked incredulously: "This is what you are talking about eating?" ”

Not a surprise, but a fright. Jiang Li was a little puzzled, put down the food, "That's right! Yesterday we ate a day's boiled wild vegetables, and today at noon, let's open meat! ”

"These are rare creatures in the mountains, and you actually killed them? Still want to eat them? I'm going to disappoint you so much! White Bait looked at them sadly.

Yesterday, he said that he couldn't eat enough wild vegetables, and he shouted that he wanted to go and pick up some livestock in the mountains to satisfy his hunger. She was so good at talking and persuading him that even if he starved to death, he would resolutely not eat wild meat. Unexpectedly, he still went against his will after all.

Jiang Li smiled, helped her sit on the wooden bench, and slowly explained: "I originally wanted to pick up some mushrooms, but unexpectedly, I saw a wolf eating refugees on the way, so I stepped forward to expel the wolf, and I heard those refugees say that this wolf is hiding in a cave, and from time to time it will come out to make trouble, and it has bitten several refugees to death." ”

"I wandered around the ravine for a long time with my sense of smell, and at last I found the wolf's den, and when I found the wolf, the wolf was biting the rabbit at the mouth of the cave, and I rushed up and struck it with one punch to prevent it from making trouble again. When he found that the rabbit had also been killed by the wolf, he simply picked up the rabbit and the wolf together. ”

"On my way back, it was a lot of cheers, and the refugees were happy!" As he spoke, he became more and more proud.

Bai Bait looked at the bleeding rabbit on the ground, and the wolf who was breathing, and then looked at Jiang Li, his eyes full of suspicion.

Looking at Bai Bai's half-believing expression, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows at her, and said quite confidently.

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the back of the mountain for a walk, what is hotly discussed in the mouths of refugees today is that I am a 'wolf hero', and I will leave!"
