Chapter 54: Flying Calamity
Mu Xiucai's family only has two acres of thin fields, and his small life is tight, in order to make a living, Mu Jinyun has already given up the high school of the scholar and went to work in the field himself.
When he was not working, he would also write some calligraphy and paintings, and sell them in the market to supplement his family.
The husband and wife suffer no one, and they are not willing to suffer their younger brother, they are often cold and hungry, but they will never let their younger brother go hungry and freeze.
Under the love of his brother and sister-in-law, the little guy looks more and more clever and cute.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Hatefeng grew to the age of four, and seeing his younger brother grow up day by day, Mu Jinyun's heart was full of pride.
It's just that there is one thing that makes him more distressed, when the little guy is young, as long as Mu Jinyun hugs him, he will cry non-stop, looking bitter and hateful.
Instead, Gong Shaoxue hugged him, and immediately the clouds and fog would disperse, and he would smile happily.
When he can speak, in front of his sister-in-law, he is always obedient, well-behaved and cute, and when he arrives at his brother, he raises all kinds of bars and quarrels, and is not afraid of convincing.
Mu Jinyun always thought, "This stinky boy, Lao Tzu was forced to marry, you don't know, you have the ability to make trouble with your sister-in-law, what do you have to do with me?"
Fortunately, Brother Mu's character is cheap enough, his patience is good enough, let him despise me, I am happy and happy, it is really indomitable and tempered.
As long as there is time, he will try his best to make his younger brother happy, and after a long time, the relationship between the two brothers will gradually become closer.
Mu Jinyun has given up convincing Gong Shaoxue, and plans to wait for his younger brother to grow up, and persuade the snow fairy with him to let her sober up as soon as possible.
It's a pity that when Mu Hate Feng grew up, he was no different from ordinary children, Mu Jinyun asked him secretly several times, looking at the latter's confused look, Mu Jinyun's heart was completely cold.
There is no need to guess, the little guy, like Gong Shaoxue, is also a sleeping person, without any memory of the past, let alone his true identity.
"Forget it, let's live like this for now, and then talk about it when we have a chance later!" Facing the reality, the eldest prince of Mu had no choice but to give up.
Time has passed day by day, Mu Jinyun has adapted to the current life, and even deep in his heart, some people like this ordinary life.
Although life is hard, how can everything go well in life, with a beautiful wife and a sensible brother, Mu Jinyun is a little satisfied.
The only regret is that the woman who accompanies her is not Jiao Ziyan, Mu Jinyun always feels that she is ashamed of her deep affection for Ziyan and her watchfulness of Ziyan......
On this day, Mu Jinyun, as usual, got up early and hurriedly pulled a mouthful of food, and resisted the hoe to work in the field.
Near noon, Gong Shaoxue made lunch at home, first let her younger brother eat enough, then packed her husband's meals in a basket, took them to the door, and led her brother-in-law to deliver food to her husband.
As soon as he walked out of the village, he saw his neighbor Uncle Chen running from a distance in a panic, and the expression on his face was extremely frightened.
"Xiucai daughter-in-law, it's not good, Heyijiao has come to catch the medicine boy again, take your uncle to the mountains!" Uncle Chen reminded loudly.
After saying that, he rushed into the village in a hurry, shouting loudly as he ran.
After a while, the village was filled with the sound of chickens and dogs barking, and many villagers ran out of the house with their children and fled to the big ravine outside the village.
Gong Shaoxue panicked for a while, quickly calmed down, threw all the things in the hands of the two people on the ground, and dragged Xiao Hatfeng to find her husband.
didn't run far, just bumped into Mu Jinyun who was rushing back, the latter didn't say much after seeing them, picked up his younger brother with one hand, pulled his wife with the other, turned around and ran wildly into the mountains.
Heyijiao is the great cult of cultivation in this area, and every once in a while, the mountain gate will be opened, and some children from poor families with appropriate age and good qualifications will be selected as medicine children.
At the beginning, everyone thought that this was a good thing, a good opportunity to soar, and every time they chose a medicine child, everyone actively signed up and actively participated.
The idea of the poor family is very simple, their children have been suffering with their parents, if they can join the Immortal Sect, wouldn't it be a great thing for the black chicken to become a phoenix.
As the saying goes, if a person ascends to heaven with a chicken and a dog, if the child really becomes a fairy, not only will he glorify his ancestors, but his family will also borrow light together!
Based on this, all the people who were selected were complacent, and they felt that they were superior, and those who were not selected were inevitably depressed, and even scolded their children for being a waste.
After a while, everyone slowly felt that this matter was a little strange.
Because I only see people entering the door, and I never see people going out, although cultivation requires the six purifications and the elimination of worldly distractions, it is not that I will never be allowed to see my relatives again.
Some people who really missed their children came to Heyijiao and asked to see their children, but they ignored them at all.
Later, when the trouble became fierce, He Yijiao became angry and sent a large number of foreign affairs disciples to beat and scold those who made trouble, and at worst beheaded them on the spot.
The incident became more and more intense, and all kinds of gossip emerged one after another, and everyone couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was in this gourd.
In the end, a drunken foreign affairs disciple accidentally leaked the truth while bragging to passers-by.
It turned out that the selected children were not to be medicine children at all, but to make medicine guides, and they were thrown into the Dan furnace alive, and together with the medicinal herbs, they were refined into the Dan Medicine.
After the news spread, there was an uproar, and under the excitement of the crowd, the people jointly ran to the yamen to complain.
It's just that Heyi Sect is the first immortal sect in the local area, and the government is in a sonorous relationship with it, and it doesn't dare to offend it easily, so it naturally disdains the life and death of these mortal children.
The people have no way to complain, they are powerless to take revenge, and they are helpless to take peace and righteousness.
After this incident, the Heyi Sect became infamous, and the people regarded it as a fierce beast, and no one took the initiative to send the child to the Heyi Sect.
Heyijiao couldn't recruit children, so they simply tore off the mask of hypocrisy completely, failed to recruit people, and robbed people instead.
At that time, the countries of the fairy world were fighting everywhere, wolf smoke was everywhere, there were thousands of holes, although the world was big, there was no peaceful place, mortal life was as cheap as ants, even if they wanted to run, where could they run.
Mu Jinyun is aware of these things, and has discussed countermeasures with his wife countless times, and the two of them pondered and pondered, but there was no good way.
The family is poor, the world is not peaceful, if you leave your hometown, you will definitely die a worse death, the only way is to run the whole family into the mountains as soon as there is a wind and grass.
As long as you go into the mountains and want to avoid those foreign affairs disciples who have not cultivated, it is not that you have no chance, and when you avoid the limelight, you can go home and live a life.
And the Yijiao only catches children under the age of six, after the age of six, the child loses the medicinal properties, and the person can be safe.
In the past few years, the young couple of the Mu family have protected their younger brother and avoided several crises, Mu Jinyun thought while running, "After these two years, my sister-in-law should be fine." ”
This is Mu Jinyun's character, he can seek death with one mind, but he absolutely cannot tolerate any harm from outsiders.
Whether it is him or his relatives, it is only himself who decides their life and death, and no one else can force them to do things they don't like to do.
Because of this, Mu Jinyun has been trying to persuade Gong Shaoxue, but he has not taken any extreme measures again.
Even in the hopeless reality of persuasion, Mu Jinyun planned to admit it like this, guarding the woman and his younger brother, and ending his life.
The family panicked and plunged into the mountains and forests, they did not dare to go to the open field, and went to those densely planted places.
Afraid that the thorns would scratch his brother's little face, Mu Jinyun tore off his shirt, buried the little guy's head in it, and protected him tightly in his arms.
Along the way, the little couple was in a hurry, and their faces and bodies were marked with thorns, but they still kept running.
Running and running, Mu Jinyun stopped suddenly, quickly squatted down, and dragged Gong Shaoxue down with his backhand.
The latter knew that he had encountered the situation, so he didn't dare to say anything, and looked at her husband with uneasy eyes, Mu Jinyun pointed ahead, signaling that there was someone in front of her.
Gong Shaoxue poked her head out behind him and peeked out through the gap in the bushes.
I saw a large group of people coming over, and the distance between them was still far away, and I couldn't see who the other party was.
When they got closer, they found that they were a few foreign affairs disciples of the Heyi Sect, either holding a hard whip or a knife and stick, driving dozens of people down the mountain.
Many of the people in that group were from the village, and a few of them were children, who were crying in fright at the moment.
There was a foreign affairs disciple who led a mastiff, which was huge, red all over, full of fangs, barking at the crying children.
It was a blood-eating mastiff, this kind of dog has average feet, but its sense of smell and hearing is very sensitive.
In order to find the right medicine, He Yijiao and the villagers often played a game of cat and mouse, and after finding that it was becoming more and more difficult to use, He Yijiao specially introduced a group of mastiffs to help them go into the mountains to search for the fleeing people.
These villagers, who had been hiding, were all found by this mastiff.
In fact, it is very difficult for mortals to hide in front of cultivators, but they hold their own noble status with the immortal masters of the Righteous Sect, and of course they are not willing to lower their own value and play a game of hide and seek with these people.
People and righteous immortals are still very dignified, children can be caught, but only by those mortal lackeys to catch, we are all great immortals, we can't do this kind of evil thing with open fire.
In the midst of the noise, the group walked towards the place where the three people were hiding.
Mu Jinyun's face turned pale, he turned his head to look at Gong Shaoxue, lowered his voice and said: "They have a dog, we definitely can't hide it, I'll go and lure the dog away, you and the hated wind hide well, and after they leave, you take the hated wind to wait for me under the big locust tree in Hongfengling." ”
Gong Shaoxue knew that the situation was urgent, and this was not the time to hesitate, so she could only choke up and say: "Well, I know, you be careful, don't be brutal, it's important to save your life!"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
Mu Jinyun handed his younger brother to Gong Shaoxue and whispered to him: "Brother is good, don't make a sound, listen to your sister-in-law." ”
The little guy nodded obediently, Mu Jinyun took off his coat again, picked up some miscellaneous branches and grass from the ground, barely wrapped it into a swaddling shape with his clothes, and held it in his arms.
He patted his wife's hand lightly, pinched his brother's face again, and then rushed out of the bushes alone, pretending to be inadvertent, and bumped into the crowd opposite.
After shouting in his mouth, he turned around and ran in the other direction, and when several foreign affairs disciples saw him, they immediately shouted and screamed, shouting and scolding.
A person who seemed to be the leader commanded loudly: "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Yin, you take the dog to chase after you, that kid lives or dies, you must take the child back for me!"
"Obey!" Two people rushed out of the crowd, led the mastiff, and chased in the direction of Mu Jinyun's escape.
The man continued to instruct: "The others will escort these Diao people back, damn it, these broken children's qualifications may not be qualified, what are they running around, it will be troublesome to harm Lao Tzu!"
