Just then, there was a sharp knock at the door.

The knock on the door was particularly loud in the middle of the night.

Both Li and Huineng had a premonition that the situation was not good.

Li Shi nervously gestured for Hui Neng to hide in the kitchen, and then shouted towards the door and asked, "Who?" ”

The answer outside the door was breathless: "I...... I'm Agui, ...... Open the door quickly......"

Agui is Li's cousin, and Huineng hurriedly came out of the kitchen and opened the door after hearing the sound.

Ah Gui swept in like a gust of wind, gasped, and said, "Ah Neng, you...... You run away......"

It turned out that Agui was a guy from the Yuelai Hotel in Chengxu Town, and just now a northern warrior monk on duty at night ran back to report to the northern warrior monk staying in the hotel, saying that in the middle of the night, there were lights in the Li family in Xialu Village, but the doors and windows were closed, and no people could be seen inside, only the voices of men and women were heard. Li was a widow, so he decided that Hui Neng had come to the village, but the warrior monk on duty at night was alone and did not dare to act rashly, so he rushed back to the station overnight. When the foreman of the northern warrior monks heard the news, he hurriedly woke up the more than ten warrior monks who came with him. Ah Gui was on night duty at the hotel at the time, and after learning about it, he took advantage of the opportunity for the warrior monks to prepare for the trip, so he rushed desperately to report the news.

Huineng was anxious: "What should I do?" ”

After being frightened, Li pointed out the window: "Neng'er, I have seen you tonight, and my heart is satisfied." You now quickly leave and run away to hide, the farther away the better. ”

"No way!" Huineng waved his hand and said, "Mother, you have this strange and intractable disease, how can I bear to leave it?!" ”

Lee's attitude is resolute: "There are no two ends of the needle. My mother is old, and I am about to smell the fragrance of yellow mud. As long as you are safe and sound, you will grow in the future. I can endure no matter how hard and itchy I am. You'd better hurry up. ”

"No!" Huineng is still so stubborn.

The reunion of mother and son over the years has reached an impasse. The room was quiet, and the oil lamp burned and made a "zi, zi" sound.

Ah Gui anxiously urged: "Ah Neng, run away!" If it's too late, disaster will come. ”

Huineng's eyes were fixed, and he remembered that before leaving Xinzhou, he had been to Tianlu Mountain many times to collect firewood and herbs, so he slapped his thigh: "There is a way." ”

Li Shi looked at Hui Neng, and a few bright lights flashed in his yellow pupils: "Neng'er, what is the best way?" ”

"Mother, I'll go to Tianlu Mountain with you." Huineng pointed to the southeast, "There are a lot of herbs in Tianlu Mountain, and if you go there, I can take refuge and treat your skin diseases." ”

"Neng'er, although your idea is good, my sprained foot is not angry." Li thumped his left foot helplessly.

Huineng pointed to the crutches underground: "Don't you have crutches?" ”

Li waved his hand: "I feel a terrible pain in my ankle when I walk with a cane. Tianlu Mountain is more than ten miles away from our Longshan Xialu Village, and we have to climb through the high Fengmen Pass. How do I get there? ”

Huineng: "Mother, there is nothing difficult in the world, you can go without crutches." ”

Li Shi was puzzled: "Don't even use crutches?" Do we have wings that can fly? ”

Huineng raised his right hand, patted his left shoulder, and said loudly: "I don't have wings, but I have shoulders!" ”

"Shoulder?" Hearing Hui Neng say this, Li still didn't know why, "Neng'er, what's the use of shoulders?" ”

Huineng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and then lifted them up, took two steps forward, and made a walking movement with his back on his back: "Mother, I will carry you to Tianlu Mountain!" ”

"Ahh You carry me to the sky and dew the mountain?! Huineng's decision was too unexpected, and Li's face was embarrassed, "This ...... You carried me on your back, crossed mountains and mountains, crossed streams and waded streams, and had to walk for most of the day, which was so hard and tiring! ”

"Bitterness and tiredness, what's so terrible? When I was three years old, my dad had left us. I grew up struggling. ”

Li Shi affectionately said: "Neng'er, for my mother, I know that you are soaked in bitter water." ”

Huineng: "Mother, when I was a child, you carried me around. Now that I'm grown up, it's only natural that I'll carry you up the mountain! ”

Li's heart was hot, tears came out of his eyes, and he said, "Neng'er, carry me to the sky and dew the mountain, it's too hard for you." I can't bear it in my heart for my mother! ”

Huineng deliberately wrenched his face: "Hey, mother, our mother and son are heart-to-heart relatives, what kind words do you say?!" ”

Knowing the son of Mo's mother's heart. Li also deliberately calmed his face: "You, now that Mao Yi is plump, I want to teach your mother a lesson." ”

The mother and son in distress put their hearts in their hearts, and the two couldn't help laughing.

Agui urged anxiously; "The northern monk is killing this way, I should go back too, you guys run away." After speaking, he hurried out of the gate and disappeared into the darkness.

The danger was imminent, and Li immediately packed up his simple bags.

Huineng started to rewrap the burden he brought.

The weather in the south is like a child's face, and it changes when it is said.

Outside the window, a blue electric light suddenly appeared, piercing the dark night sky, and disappeared in an instant, and then, the heavy thunder exploded, rolling through the sky like thousands of chariots, and the torrential rain fell from the sky, making the roof "pop, pop".

Li frowned: "Neng'er, it's raining heavily." ”

Huineng: "Wind and rain, God help me." ”

Lee: "Why? ”

Huineng: "The wind and rain swept away, sweeping away all the footprints on our road. Even if the warrior monks came to look for us, they couldn't find any trace of us. ”

"Okay," Li pointed to the wall, "Yes, there's a big coat over there." ”

Huineng stepped forward, grabbed the big tunic coat, and picked up the big bamboo hat hanging next to him, "Let's go!" ”

Outside, the sky was dark, the mountain wind was howling, and the horizontal rain arrows shot on the ground, "popping, popping".

The distant mountains and the surrounding fields were submerged in darkness. The chirping of insects and the drums of frogs were muffled by the noise of wind and rain.

As soon as Huineng and his mother left, more than a dozen northern warrior monks with weapons in their hands slaughtered violently to Xialu Village, surrounded Huineng's family, shouted loudly to open the door, and no one answered inside.

They kicked open the door with their feet, rushed in, searched everywhere, but found nothing.

The foreman warrior monk said to his subordinates: "Huineng must have come back, he must have taken his mother to hide somewhere!" Let's split up and chase it! ”

The warrior monks divided into several paths, braving the pouring rain like mercury and chasing them in different directions.

A young man, carrying an old woman on his back, covered with a big hat and a big bamboo hat with a pointed top, left Xialu Village, stepped on the mud on the field road, and took a solid and powerful step towards Tianlu Mountain. Step by step, step by step, step by step. One step at a time, one love at a time, no matter what wind and rain, what thorns, what potholes and mud, what mountains and roads are steep, can not stop him from moving forward......

Huineng carried his mother Li on his back, walked hard in the wind and rain, walked, with a strong physique and a resolute will, unconsciously walked for more than two hours, and came to a mountain high ridge and steep mountain pass, which is the famous Fengmen Pass in Xinzhou.

After a torrential rain, the clouds cleared.

The sun rises in the east, bringing with it a magnificent rainbow.

The land was washed clean by the rain, and the air was fresh.

The birds spread their wings and flew out to feed, scattering a series of chasing cries as they skimmed through the air.

Huineng felt that his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier, and the water flowing from his cheeks to his mouth was salty, I don't know if it was rain or sweat. He felt more and more thirsty, and saw a lychee forest by the stream in front of him, and when he walked there, he untied his shirt and put Li down.

Huineng went to the stream, took a few sips of water to drink, and then rested with Li against a large lychee tree for a while.

At the moment when Huineng wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeves, his eyes inadvertently saw two warrior monks in gray-black monk's robes in the distance behind him, one holding a large knife in his hand and the other carrying a sharp axe. Under the sunlight, those weapons reflected the bright light of the cold.

"Oh, no! Someone is chasing! Huineng's heart twitched violently, and he whispered to Li Shi sideways.
