Three days ago, outside the floating city, on a summer night.

In the hut, a woman was crooked on a couch, her hands mechanically stroking a belly pocket, her eyes red and swollen.

In the middle of the night, the door creaked open, and a man with a languid look walked in.

"Did you find it?" The woman on the couch suddenly had a light in her eyes.

"No, I didn't find it......," the man closed the door, "looking everywhere...... I've searched all over it, but I still haven't ...... Didn't find it. ”

The light in the woman's eyes disappeared again, and she threw down her belly pocket in despair, and began to weep.

"Little treasure...... My poor little baby...... Where the hell are you......"

The man leaned to the side of the couch, took the woman's hand, and said softly, "Bao Ta Niang, you haven't ...... yet Before the confinement, don't cry, beware of crying...... Crying broke my body. ”

The woman withdrew her hand sharply and said angrily, "It's all my fault that I'm blind and marry you who can't even speak!" If I had listened to my mother's persuasion and married Zhao Shilang in the city, how could I not even be able to keep my own child......"

The man sneered, drooped his head, and said in a muffled voice, "It's still ...... One more thing......"

"What's the matter? Say! ”

"Fruit in the orchard...... Fruit ......"

"When is it? Still thinking about your apples?! The woman grabbed her belly pocket and threw it at the man.

"All the fruits...... It's all gone. ”

The woman was taken aback, and quickly climbed down from the couch, staggered to the door, and slammed it open. Then he tilted his body and sat down on the ground.

The apple grove on the other side of the hut was bare, and not a single fruit was gone.

The man ran over and tried to pick her up, but was pushed by the woman.

"Xiaobao is gone...... The fruit is gone...... My life is so miserable! The woman wept and grabbed the ground.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the rooftop.

"Are you looking for a child?"

The woman and her husband were startled and hurried out of the house. I saw a straight figure standing on the thatched roof in the moonlight. The bluegrass mark between his eyebrows was dark red, and he was dressed in a dark shirt, and the hem of his clothes was windless, fluttering and flying, almost blending in with the night.

And in the man's hand, he was holding a baby boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Xiaobao!" The woman raised her hands excitedly.

Du Heng smiled slightly, jumped off the roof lightly, landed in front of the couple, and stuffed the baby boy into the woman's hand.

"Don't hang the child's clothes outside in the future," Du Heng gently pinched the baby boy's face, "It will be troublesome to be targeted by Gu Yuniao again." ”

The man fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed a few times, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you...... Thank you to this fairy...... We're never ...... again Not ......"

The woman saw that her husband was struggling to speak, so she hurriedly said, "Don't hang Xiaobao's clothes outside." ”

Du Heng nodded and turned around to leave, but was suddenly pulled by the corner of his clothes by the man kneeling on the ground.

"Immortals!" The man looked up, "I...... The fruit of our orchard is ...... It's gone, can you pray to God...... Immortals, help us find the fruit...... Got it back? ”

Du Heng's face was pale.

"The gods and goddesses kindly brought Xiaobao back, why do you still kick your nose and ask people to help you find fruit?"

The woman kicked the man, turned her head to face Du Heng, and said with a smile: "The fairy doesn't have to pay attention to him, are you tired at such a late hour, do you want to come in and eat something?" ”

"No, no, no, no!" Du Heng hurriedly waved his hand, "I still have a carload of children to deliver, so I won't bother." As he spoke, he disappeared in a flash, leaving the couple in shock.

Du Heng walked into the country of floating opera with brisk steps, and a carriage followed silently behind him.

The carriage had no horses, but the wheels rolled forward on their own. The body swayed lightly, and the car was safe and sound, with more than a dozen boys and girls asleep. Yaohua Jian leaned against the wall of the carriage, flashing with a cold light.

The summer nights were sweltering, but the car was unusually cool.

Du Heng took out an apple from the gluttonous bag on his waist, took a bite, and chewed it chirped. Every time I passed a house where there was a cry, I waved to the car. At this time, a baby will float out of the car window and float into someone's window.

After chasing for half a month, Gu Yu didn't catch the bird, but helped others pick up the children every day. But this apple is really delicious......

Du Heng nibbled off the last bite of the flesh and threw the kernel over the back of his head.

The Ganzao Du family is the head of the immortal families in Middle Earth, and the ancestor is the essence of the mountain bluegrass cultivated into an immortal. After the ancestors of the Du family achieved positive results, in order to repay the kindness of the heavens, they vowed to eliminate the evil in the world. Du Heng is 800 years old this year, which is considered to be just an adult. Before he became an adult, he only practiced immortal law in the mountain of sweet jujube, and never went down the mountain. The first thing you do when you become an adult is to go down the mountain and destroy a demon in order to establish the world.

Du Heng's mission is to eliminate a Gushu bird, a resentful ghost who likes to steal human babies.

Because of the mountain of sweet jujubes, jujubes are born all over the mountain. In the past 800 years, Du Heng has never seen a fruit other than dates, and the first time he ate an apple down the mountain, he was captured by the crisp and juicy taste. Along the way, Du Heng didn't know how many orchards he had led the sheep to, and hundreds of fruits were all packed into the small gluttonous bag on his waist.

The children have helped you get it back, so it's nothing to eat your two apples.

Because the mana is still shallow, and Gu Win Bird moves quickly, Du Heng always can't catch up. The partial-born aunt is timid by nature, and when she smells Du Heng's breath from afar, she slips away.

Du Heng set up several ambushes, and almost succeeded a few times, but he still let it escape, leaving only a few babies waiting to be fed.

He sighed and looked at the scratches on the back of his hand.

This is still when the child was returned two days ago, he was arrested by the child's mother. The child let the aunt be captured by the bird and was rescued by himself. As a result, the child's mother regarded herself as a thief and shouted to catch the thief's traffickers, and when she came up, she grabbed and scratched.

Do you want to find a helper? This is too embarrassing, I am also the eldest and youngest master of the Du family, and I can't even take care of a little aunt, so what qualifications do I have to inherit the throne in the future.

Three days later, at the gate of the floating city, at noon.

The gate of Fuxi City was closed, and Du Heng saw the black blood oozing out of the crack in the door, and his mouth chewing the apple did not move.

Since the last time she left Fuxi City, there was something wrong with Nagu Huoniao, and it seemed that she wanted to go through the road again. And no one survived everywhere he passed, turning everything that could breathe into the walking dead.

Du Heng pushed open the city gate and saw the skeleton of a woman sitting by the door, holding a pair of small bones in his arms. The hands of the small skeleton are inserted into the cervical vertebrae of the large skeleton.

He sighed and shook his head.

I may have rescued this child three days ago, but now ......

The stench at the gates of the city was unusual, and the piles of bones were stacked on top of each other. Rotting flesh and pus, dripping incessantly, soaked large swathes of the land.

and slaughtered another city.

Du Heng flew over the pile of corpses, stood in the middle of the street, closed his eyes, and felt the breath of the living.

He knew there would be no miracles, but he still had hope.

But the reality is always cruel.

Du Heng sighed, turned around and walked out of the city. He glanced up at the walls, but was suddenly intrigued.

I saw that in the mottled lines of the city wall, there were two eyes like patterns. Those eyes seemed to be very bright, and they contained a terrified emotion.

Du Heng reached out to touch the wall, but he didn't expect the pair of eyes to blink, so frightened that Du Heng quickly retracted his hand.

Suddenly, the wall gurgled like ripples, and then there was a bang, and a gray-faced woman fell out.

The woman fell to the ground, didn't look at Du Heng, and ran straight to the pile of corpses, then pounced and knelt on the ground.

Du Heng touched the wall, and his heart was a little calm. It's just an ordinary invisibility spell, and some low-level immortals can refine it. It's just that in such a small city as Fuxi City, there are actually immortal cultivators, but Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The girl was afraid that she would be protected and hidden in the wall to avoid a disaster. But why was she the only one hiding in?

The woman knelt there, motionless, not even crying, almost condensed into a stone statue.

Du Heng walked up to the woman, squatted down, and gently stroked her back. The back is thin and slender, and the spine is distinct, which can't help but make people feel pity.

"Is it your family?"

The woman nodded, looking desperate.

"Why didn't they hide with you in the walls?"

"There's only one charm, and someone else gave it to Daddy."

"Doesn't your father know how to refine talismans himself?"

The woman shook her head. She has a beautiful face and picturesque eyebrows, although she is unkempt, she still can't hide her beauty. It's just that there is always a cold and clear light like the moon between the eyebrows, which makes people feel pity and dare not approach.

Du Heng felt a little embarrassed when he saw that he didn't speak, and the woman didn't speak. He took out an apple, handed it to the woman, and said, "Do you eat apples?" ”

The woman did not answer, nor did she move.

Du Heng was even more embarrassed, he retracted the apple and sneered, "What's your name?" Do you have any other family members? ”

"Muyu, no."

"Muyu? Is your surname Mu? ”

"I don't have a last name."

Du Heng was stunned for a moment and said, "How can there be no surname?" ”

In Du Heng's cognition, everyone has a surname, although there are not many people in contact, but the other families who come to visit Ganzao also have surnames, and he has not met anyone without a surname.

Mu Yu slowly raised his head and glanced at Du Heng deeply. The look in his eyes was so cold that it almost froze the flesh and blood of Du Heng's body.

"Ordinary people like us, if they don't have a surname, they don't have a surname, what's so strange."

"Oh, then you have my last name, right?" Du Heng blurted out.

But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it. The first time we met, for no reason, seeing that people were pitiful, I actually wanted to give my surname to others, and there was nothing more abrupt in the world.

Mu Yu looked at Du Heng suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, obviously frightened by Du Heng's "enthusiasm".

"With your last name? Is the surname Du? ”

This time it was Du Heng's turn to be surprised.

"How do you know my surname is Du?"

"You have the orchid grass between your eyebrows, Yaohua on your back, and you are wearing a black robe," Mu Yu slowly turned his head again, staring at the pile of corpses, his face was as light as water, "You are from the Ganzao Du family." ”

Du Hengteng stood up and said in his heart what is the origin of this girl.

Mu Yu remained silent, just looked at the front and was distracted, as if saying to himself: "My father likes to study these very much, but it's a pity that he only studies the paper and doesn't do it......"

Only research but not hands, there is still such a thing? That's not for nothing. But this girl is too pitiful, a mortal woman, helpless, suffering from this great disaster, and can only survive in the future. As......

"Why don't you come home with me?"

After Du Heng finished speaking, he just wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

When I met for the first time, I asked others not to say my surname, and I wanted to abduct them home directly, which didn't sound like a good person. It is said that he is not usually a person who talks nonsense, why did he meet this girl today, and there was no reliable sentence in his mouth, it was really over.

Mu Yu raised his head, looked at Du Heng with cold eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

It's miserable, this girl is going to scold me.

Who knows, Mu Yuzhu's lips opened lightly, and he spit out a word.

"Okay."
