Chapter 18: Returning Home

As soon as he inquired on the street, Lu Fan knew that he was already in Lishan Town, looking at this unfamiliar street, it was like arriving in a strange place, and when he inquired, he knew that his village was in the west of the town, and he couldn't help but feel emotionally moved when he looked at the patrols in the town with different skin colors, different heights, and even different ethnic groups.

"Walk along this trail for half a day, and it will be there when it gets dark. An aunt who bought vegetables told Lu Fan the road he went, and Lu Fan walked out of Lishan Town in less than half an hour along the road pointed out by the aunt, and saw along the way that other villages in the past had erected high fences outside the village, all of which were guarded, and some even had guards guarding them.

This is the edge of this Warcraft Forest, and it is also the edge of the territory actually controlled by the Empire, what is on the other side of the forest that no one can say, the land that ordinary humans on this continent can set foot on is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is more of an unknown land in the deep mountains and dense forests, and what the Human Empire is fighting for is the land that is known to be suitable for human reproduction.

This world is more of a savage beast and monster, and beasts at the border of this human habitat occur from time to time.

When they reached 20 meters in front of the railing gate in front of their village, the young man on the guard tower inside the gate shouted and asked, "Who are you and what is the matter with coming to our village?"

"My name is Lu Fan, I am from this village, I studied cultivation at Cloud City Academy many years ago, and this time I came home to take a look. Lu Fan replied loudly

When I left, there was no such high magnolia fence here, but now this place has completely changed its appearance, and it seems that the beast plague has become more frequent in recent years.

The people who settle down and live here are also forced to survive, everyone is now in a prosperous place, but there is no land and no income, and it is impossible to survive at all.

And although there are bandits here from time to time, there is basically no tax here, and even if there is, it is very little, and it is within the affordable range.

This was also one of the policies of the Great Shang Empire.

"Open the door quickly, it's Xiao Fan who is back" I saw a middle-aged man with a big beard inside the door, pulling his rough voice.

"It's the captain!" a man next to him came out and opened the door

"Xiao Fan, don't mind, they are all guards transferred from the town after you leave, so I don't know you" The middle-aged man looked at Lu Fan and said, how could Xiao Fan still be so handsome The middle-aged man secretly thought to himself.

"Who is the one in the back?" the middle-aged man asked enthusiastically.

Before Lu Fan could answer, Han Bing replied by himself: "I am Lu Fan's friend and senior sister."

The middle-aged man looked understanding, "Don't be nervous, child, I'm embarrassed, my baby brought a girl back in the town, and that's what I told others" The man comforted and said, with a look that you have been seen through.

"Xiaofan, now our village has changed a lot, because of the frequent occurrence of beasts, the nearby small villages, and some hunters who live alone have moved over, and now our village is also a big village. Naturally, great efforts have to be put into this defense and early warning. The man said with a little pride.

"Uncle Wang, how is my father doing?" Lu Fan asked, it turned out that the middle-aged man's name was Wang Lang, and Lu Fan used to go hunting with Lu Fan's father when he was young, so he often went to Lu Fan's house to tease Lu Fan.

"Since your father sent you to Cloud City, not long after you came back, there were often small waves of beasts, and at first we didn't care about it and went out to hunt every day, and we returned with a full load every day. But later, there were more and more beasts, and there were a lot of monsters, although they were all low-level monsters, but we didn't dare to be careless, so your father didn't go to see you later," the middle-aged man said to himself

"Later, we set up a wooden fence on the outskirts of the village to block the monsters, and also set up four patrol teams to be responsible for the security of the village, until a year ago a demon bear broke into the village, and your father killed the monster in order to prevent it from hurting the villagers, but he himself was also injured. The middle-aged man said in a hoarse voice

"Then how is my father?" Lu Fan hurriedly asked

"He left the village half a year ago and said that he would go out to heal his injuries, and he has not returned. Saying that, the middle-aged man's eyes were also slightly red, which showed that the relationship between the two was relatively deep

Hearing this, Lu Fan was completely stunned, he hadn't seen the results for a few years, and as soon as he came back, the news he got was the news that his father was injured, and at this moment Lu Fan's mind went blank.

At this time, he had already arrived at Wang Lang's house, Wang Lang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly entered the house, Lu Fan had stayed and didn't know anything, and Han Bing, who was even more beside him, didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to accompany Lu Fan to be silent.

After a while, Wang Lang came out of the house, holding a small wooden box in his hand, and said to Lu Fan: "This is what your father left you, so I can see you and hand it over to you" Lu Fan took the wooden box and looked at the only thing his father left him, as if he was looking at a relic.

After a while, Lu Fan thought about opening the wooden box, but he couldn't open it, Lu Fan understood that his father didn't want others to know the secret inside, so he put it up. The middle-aged man persuaded him to stay at his house, but Lu Fan wanted to go back to his home to see his home and experience the feeling of coming home, so he resigned from Uncle Wang's kind invitation.

When I returned home and looked at the dust all over the house, the familiar dilapidated grass house was still so simple, that is, the father and son had slept in the bed like a long door panel for more than ten years, and the food made from those shabby pots and pots had raised themselves for more than ten years.

Han Bing looked at this humble house next to Lu Fan, thinking in his heart how the boy, who looked a little girlish, survived in such an environment, and how tenacious his father should be.

Lu Fan took out the wooden box, the only thing his father left for himself, it may be the last thing left for himself, so he carefully watched how to open it, but he didn't open it. Finally, after Lu Fan slowly ran the Yang Qi Technique and entered the True Qi, he opened the box.

Lu Fan picked up the paper in the box and saw that the poem was also a sword trick: "Looking horizontally at the side of the ridge into a peak, the distance and the height are different" At this time, the poem is also an attitude towards life, but how can it be a sword trick, Lu Fan can't figure it out.

Lu Fan used to look at the secrets in the academy were all pictures, there were almost no text descriptions, and every move was a very rigid practice, and only this sword trick and yang qi trick except for a picture of the acupuncture points of the human body The rest of the formulas are all text descriptions.

After reading my father's letter to myself, I realized that my father's problem was not very serious, but the family contacted the separated members to return to the clan, and the father returned to the family to be with the clan.

And my father hopes that after he succeeds in his studies, he will contribute to the revitalization of the family.

At this time, Lu Fan knew that he was the heir of the general of the previous dynasty, and he was burdened with the mission of family rejuvenation.

After reading the letter, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his father was fine, but after learning about his life experience, there was another layer of burden, a burden that could not be shirked, at least his father meant that he could not push it away.

Lu Fan knew that his fate had been so determined by his father, and he was destined to not be a ranger who traveled the world in the future.

At least that's what Lu Fan thinks now, the dream life has at least become out of reach now.

Lu Fan's mood was much heavier, and he was almost out of breath.

All this made Lu Fan feel as if he was still in a dream, everything was so unreal.

Lu Fan decided that this experience must be enough to see, otherwise he may not have the opportunity to see the world's strange worlds in the future.

Lu Fan took a deep breath after knowing that his father was safe, and with one hand, he pinched the wooden box and the sword trick with a small spell to burn it.

Looking at Han Bing's surprised gaze, Lu Fan said, "It's okay, my father is fine", hearing him say this, Han Bing didn't ask much, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

At this moment, the little fierce beast in Lu Fan's arms woke up, and the little head arched vigorously into Lu Fan's arms, Lu Fan couldn't help but touch its head when he saw its actions, but his fingers were held in his mouth by the little fierce beast, Lu Fan really couldn't cry or laugh.

Before the little beast bit his finger, he took out an egg and broke it for the little beast, but this time Han Bing didn't ask to feed it.

After a while, the little beast ate it, and it was covered with egg syrup and mucus, Han Bing really couldn't see it, so he put the little beast in the wooden basin with both hands, pinched the trick behind his back, and cast a water-based "blue sky twilight rain" Drenched a person and a beast through, "Wash it quickly, otherwise the water will run out" Han Bing smiled at Lu Fan, who was still in a daze in the face of the sudden scene.
