Chapter 7 At that time, it was just ordinary
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the day Uncle Mu hit Bailu, and Rentian has recovered from his injuries in a month, no different from ordinary people. The weather is gradually getting colder, Uncle Mu's country is about to turn from autumn to winter, Uncle Mu's family plans to move into the Holy Light City before winter comes, and today is the day when Uncle Mu's family moves.
"Brother, today is the day we enter the city, it's a little boring to stay at the foot of the mountain these days." Zhize Road.
Rentian also felt that this was the case, fortunately, his injuries were almost healed, so he could enter the city early, otherwise he would have to wait for the day of returning home. The first thing Rentian planned to do after entering the city was to buy a map and find the direction where the Northern Guardian Kingdom was located.
Uncle Mu's family didn't have much furniture to clean up, in fact, the hunters' families were very poor, and after lunch, Uncle Mu's family and Rentian could be regarded as traveling lightly. Uncle Mu had found a house in the city through a friend during Rentian's recuperation, and the price was 300 gold coins, and it was the day when Uncle Mu's family went to see the house.
The way to the Holy Light City was full of laughter, Xiao Yan was as lively as an elf on the winding mountain road, and everyone's interest was very high under Xiao Yan's drive, and the road of more than four miles was completed unconsciously. At dusk, a majestic city full of quaint atmosphere appeared in the eyes of everyone.
In the eyes of the two brothers, the Holy Light City represents the hope of returning home, and in the eyes of Uncle Mu's family, the Holy Light City is their hope for the future, and they will take root and live here from today onwards.
After being searched by the city guards and paying a small entrance fee, Ren Tian and his party were allowed to enter the city, and the Holy Light City was much larger than Qingfeng City, where Ren Tian often stayed, and the streets and alleys were full of people, and there were countless vendors and shops. The small team that followed Uncle Mu suddenly stopped at the door of the bookstore in the Holy Light City, and Uncle Mu looked at the two Rentian brothers, and a look of parting flashed in his eyes.
Rentian understood, knowing that the time when his two brothers would be separated from Uncle Mu was not far off, and Uncle Mu was now going to buy a map at the request of his two brothers.
Uncle Mu walked into a large bookstore and said to the bookstore owner, "Give me a map of the borders of various countries, the kind that needs a large range." The bookstore owner quickly pulled out a somewhat yellowed map like this that not many people would ask about in a year.
The map was handed to Rentian's hand, as if he had caught the hope of the future, Rentian's hand trembled slightly and opened the map, and as the map unfolded, Rentian and Zhize's love rose. ()
The extent of all the countries on the unfolded map was clearly delineated, and Rentian stared at the map with wide eyes and a careful look at the map, his heart was very eager to see the outline of Beiwei in the next moment. As time passed, Rentian's speed of scanning the map gradually increased, and in the end, it was even like a headless fly scanning indiscriminately, Rentian suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "No! Zhi Ze was frightened by this shout, and quickly stretched out his head to look at the map together, Zhi Ze seemed to understand the reason for Rentian's shouting, there was no storage zài of the Northern Guardian Kingdom on the map at all!
"Not this one! Not this one! Rentian tightened Uncle Mu's hand, the panicked look on his face couldn't be concealed, Uncle Mu seemed to understand what was going on, turned to the bookstore owner and said, "This map is not what we want to buy, do you have a map with a larger range?" The bookstore owner was slightly surprised, but didn't say much, and turned to continue to pick up the more expansive map.
Rentian and Zhize were very worried in their hearts, how could there be no outline of the Northern Guardians on the map, the territory and strength of the Northern Guardians were so huge, even if they were far away in the country of foreigners, the Northern Guardians was also a famous country. It must be the boss's wrong map, it must be so, taking the wrong map has become the only reason why Rentian's inner world has not collapsed at this moment.
seemed to think that he couldn't go home, and Zhize's eyes were already slightly red. The bookstore owner quickly found the dusty map that showed a wider map, Rentian silently opened the map and looked at it for a long time, tears finally fell on the yellowed map, and in the surprised eyes of Uncle Mu and Xiaoyan, Rentian's whole body fell weakly next to the door.
Zhi Ze threw himself on Rentian and cried loudly, this map depicts the world that Rentian is in at all, not even the outline of the ocean, and Beiwei Guo doesn't know where it is. Home, the home of dreams, the home that I think about day and night, was shattered into countless pieces at the moment when this map unfolded, even if he and his brother whose life and death were unknown to the top of a deserted mountain, Zhize was never discouraged and disappointed, but now his world has collapsed and shattered, and his heart is like being stabbed by someone, and he is at a loss for what to do. Can't find the way home, which means that you can no longer hear your mother's voice, no longer wear the clothes that your mother sewed for their brothers under the night light, no longer be coquettish to your mother, look at her with a little joy and annoyance, no one can wash a lot of clothes for him in the cold to make money for him and his brother to go to school, no one can give him a lot of hair, be willing to dedicate his whole life for him, grit his teeth and persevere for him, no matter how hard and tired he is, no more, no more.
Xiao Yan looked at the two soulless brothers and couldn't help but shed tears, Uncle Mu said to the bookstore owner with red eyes: "Is there a bigger map, I am willing to give out as much as I want, please." ”
The bookstore owner shook his head silently.
All the scenery in front of him, the laughter and laughter in the downtown seemed to disappear, and Rentian's head was frozen in one picture: the mother kindly told her fourteen-year-old son to take good care of his younger brother beside him, and the son held a bag of copper coins in his hand, which was accumulated by his mother's work day and night, and the mother was full of hope that his two sons would be able to succeed and return to her side as soon as possible.
Everything in heaven and earth has lost its color, the passage of time seems to have no meaning, no matter how many thousands of prosperity in the world is, it is difficult to touch the heart of Rentian, what is the use of being glorious and rich, even if you become the strongest person in heaven and earth, what can you redeem, can these be exchanged for staying by your mother's side for a moment?
Aunt Mu hugged the crying Zhize in her arms, Zhize's appearance broke her heart as a mother, she knew that Zhize couldn't find the direction to go home and cut off contact with home.
Zhize's crying voice became more and more hoarse, and finally gradually lost his voice and quieted down. Zhi Ze looked at his brother sitting on the ground like a puppet and didn't move, and he was very sad, there was only one relative left in this world. Zhi Ze walked over and shook Ren Tian, but Ren Tian was still staring at the blank space in the distance, Zhi Ze couldn't help but get anxious, Ren Tian's state at this time really worried him. Zhi Ze immediately slapped Rentian and said loudly: "Rentian, what are you thinking, since we can come to this place, we will definitely be able to go back, isn't the holy pearl also made by people." ”
As if he was knocked back to his senses by this slap, Rentian looked at Zhize with a stupid look in his eyes, Zhize walked over and helped Rentian up, and continued: "No matter how the world changes, I will stand by your side. ”
Rentian looked at Zhize, who was crying and swollen eyes, and tears burst out of his eyes. Zhi Ze was a little relieved, although he was also very young, he also knew that losing hope and slumping was the most terrible. Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu were talking softly on the side, looking at the two Rentian brothers from time to time, only to hear Xiaoyan clapping his hands on the side.
Rentian couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at the crowded street, this sky was so vast, but he couldn't find a sense of belonging in this sky, just like a lonely wild goose staying in winter. Xiao Yan suddenly ran up and grabbed Rentian's little hand, and said happily to Rentian: "Go back to my house, go back to my house." Rentian turned around, looked at Xiao Yan with a happy face, and then looked at Uncle Mu and his wife with an expectant face, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.
"Brother, or we will go to Uncle Mu's house to live, Uncle Mu's family is so good to us, and this place is so strange." Zhi Ze looked at Rentian with a look of hope. Zhize hopes to live in Uncle Mu's family, because it makes him feel at home.
Rentian was embarrassed for a while, Uncle Mu's family had not had time to repay the life-saving grace, and now he had to live in Uncle Mu's house, which made him feel unhappy.
"If we live with Uncle Mu, we can help Uncle Mu's family do business, how good is this, Uncle Mu doesn't have to spend money on hiring people." Zhize incarnated as a philosopher at this moment and taught Rentian earnestly.
Rentian looked at Zhi Ze's somewhat normal cunning eyes and said, "It's just like this, we are penniless now and don't know how to live here, so we can only trouble Uncle Mu." Rentian took Xiaoyan's hand, at this moment Rentian's heart calmed down a little, since he can't find a way to go home now, he must settle down and fix his and his brother's lives first, and it is obviously a very good choice to take refuge in Uncle Mu.
"Let's go, let's go to Uncle Mu's house." Rentian said to Zhi Ze, and the next family walked out of the bookstore and walked towards the residential houses of Shengguang City.
The house purchased by Uncle Mu is not far from the downtown area, which is a densely populated area for civilians, and the price is not high and the transportation is very convenient.
Uncle Mu took the family to his courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, stepping into this house meant that his era as a hunter was over, and he was about to start a new life for his family here, Uncle Mu sighed that fortunately, the house he purchased was not small, and Rentian and Zhize could live in one of their own rooms.
The house has been purchased, and the next thing you need to do is to start a business in the Holy Light City, Uncle Mu doesn't have much money, and he has no other skills except hunting, and this is the biggest dilemma faced by hunters changing careers. Uncle Mu discussed the issue of starting a business with his wife, and the two couples decided to involve the catering industry after many discussions, and the two husbands and wives did not think deeply about this aspect, but blindly thought that it should not be difficult to operate in terms of food, after all, diet is something that everyone has to face every day.
