Chapter 20: The Approaching One
The candle was coming to an end, and the flickering glimmer of light worked to dispel the approaching darkness.
Every night, the dew freezes and freezes, making people mistakenly think that it is the frost of the wax moon. In the village under the mountain, countless ordinary days have passed so ordinarily. This comfortable life always makes the young man feel that there is really such a paradise in the world, and even the omnipresent fate will forget to pluck the cold strings.
After all, He Nu is a woman, and she can't survive the energetic father and son, so she took the lead in the house to wash herself and then returned to the room to rest. Under the moon, the father and son were busy cleaning up the mess in front of the door.
The lacquered wooden pieces were carried into the hall by Xu Han in general, and all kinds of sundries were piled up in the not spacious room, kicking away his father's old weapons, and throwing all the wooden pieces in his arms on the ground.
Xu Shan, Xu Han, father and son both consumed a lot of physical strength during the day, and now they were in a hurry to fall asleep and were too lazy to pay attention to it, so they carried a few buckets of cold well water, and the only remaining half pot of hot water was washed outside the door.
"Tomorrow is a hunting, this time for my father to stay in the mountains for a few more days, you must not be naughty at home, take good care of your mother, do you know?" After washing his body, Xu Shan was also about to rest, and before returning to the house, he stopped and told his son as usual.
On weekdays, the villagers often hunt animals in groups of three or two, but once a month, they also go hunting, and everyone gathers to go deep into the mountains to hunt fierce beasts. Counting the days, it is also the day of the hunt.
The candlelight went out, and a few rays of moonlight formed a streak through the crack in the window and reflected on the face of the young man standing in the dark, "Well, I see. Xu Han lowered his head and said in a slightly low tone, "You also pay attention to safety.......
Xu Shan's expression was in a trance for a while, looking down at Xu Han in front of him, and suddenly felt that his son's thin body, which was only as tall as his waist, seemed to have a mature soul hidden in it, and he pouted and smiled self-deprecatingly, all of which was an illusion, "The food is all prepared for you, but don't sneak out in the middle of the night!" Xu Shan took the posture and lectured again, and before his son could get down, he carefully pushed open the door and entered the bedroom.
Xu Han raised his face and turned his head, looking at the outside of the house quietly with deep eyes for a long time, like a ghost hidden in the shadows, quietly peeking into the brightness of the world.
Stretching out his hand, the hot soul was frostbitten by the frost, and he refused to compromise, insisting on throwing himself into this dazzling cold. Perhaps it is predestined from the beginning that the good will turn into a breeze and dissipate into nothingness, or become a violent wind and overturn this turbid evil.
Time flies, time flies, in a blink of an eye, two days....... passed quietly.......
Another day, the sun kissed the sleeping boy affectionately. In the two days that his father didn't return home, Xu Han was a lot more idle, but no one gaged with him, which was inevitably a little boring.
After helping my mother take care of some chores during the day, she practiced some boxing and foot kung fu on her own. Since the night of devouring the spar and the enhanced power fused into himself, Xu Han more and more felt that his family origin is extraordinary, and the refined body can collapse the mountain and crack the stone with a little concentration! The furnace-like body contains the power of heaven and earth that is as difficult as a volcanic eruption, Xu Han has tried, the thousand catties of boulder in his hand are just waiting for leisure, and he can throw the boulder dozens of meters away with all his might, which is really unimaginable!
It's just that the gluttonous body seems to have tasted the sweetness, and the weird hunger that entangles him is even better than before, Xu Han did not overeat, because it is useless to eat, he knows very well what he desires. At a certain moment, Xu Han suddenly felt a little frightened, but he didn't know what he was inexplicably afraid of.
Perhaps, Xu Han actually knew that this square inch of heaven and earth would one day not be able to accommodate himself.........
Fate will never tell you to do anything by your hand, it will only indifferently put a hungry beast behind you that you can't fight, and put a cage on the road ahead. You can choose to stand still or stand back and wait to be torn apart, or you can choose to move forward and walk into the cage yourself.
But in the end........ It's a choice, isn't it......
Oh, let him go, and when the irresistible comes, he will eventually know what choice he will make, and cherish the present, because no matter how powerful the existence is, it is difficult to recover the past.
The mother had already gone out, and following the aroma, the young man touched the burnt yellow and gold-oiled pork leg roasted in the stove. The strength is great, the skin seems to be thicker, and it is not too hot to fish it out with his hands. Sitting on the bluestone sill in front of the door, while gnawing, while waking up, by the way, thinking about how to waste this beautiful day.
His eyes fell on his waist, and he pinned the rough bulge when he was dressing. I always felt that it was a bit ridiculous to hand over this plaything to Xiying in front of everyone's eyes, so I thought it would be better to send it over privately. Hey, when people grow up, they will always force themselves to do something they don't like to do but have to be there, the eight-year-old boy sighed hypocritically.
There is something to do, the tired young man is a little anxious, and he even has no appetite for the fragrant pork leg, and hurriedly cleans up his face, the long hair that has passed over the shoulder is entangled in the back of his head, and I don't know if the man is born without this talent or what, anyway, Xu Han has learned how to tie his hair for a long time, but he doesn't have the ability to comb his own head smoothly, and sometimes he can't correct it!
I want to go over earlier, otherwise it's always bad to go to China and Japan and let people misunderstand that I am going to mix rice.......
But a few steps away, Xu Han took a little half an hour, bypassed the ruins, and coldly Xu Han saw his future daughter-in-law who was lying on the ground playing with mud.........
Xiao Xiying squatted on the ground and raised her head, her white and translucent immature little face still had some baby fat, but she could already see a little bit of her handsome face in the future, and her yellow hair was still light at the tip of her tail, and her hair was also tangled together like Xu Han, and her delicate little white paws were covered with mud, and she looked at the young man who suddenly appeared with a pair of cute big eyes........
They looked at each other with a little embarrassment. "Ahem......." The boy coughed, squeezed out a strange smile, and struggled to figure out how to say hello.
"Gaha! ! ! Hanhan........ Husband..... Male!"
Xiao Xiying jumped up from the ground and shouted happily, and her enthusiastic appearance made the young man embarrassed. Although I haven't seen her for a while, these girls haven't forgotten this heartless teenager.
You're welcome, Xi Ying, who had just gotten up, climbed up along Xu Han's legs, Xu Han was afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly hugged her in his arms.
Holding Xu Han's neck, the girl smiled milkily, scratching the young man's already messy hair, lying on his face and kissing for a while, his calves kept kicking and swinging, and he refused to stop for a while. After making a fuss for a long time, the excited Xiying finally calmed down, and looked at Xu Han, who was already on the verge of collapse, and suddenly pursed his mouth, and his clear eyes were filled with tears in just a second........
"I .......... Little Ancestor, what's wrong with you?" Thunder Tianwei was imminent, Xu Han immediately panicked, grimaced and hugged Xiying in his arms and trembled.
"Woo, you won't come to play with me!" The girl's eyes widened angrily and complained about the ruthless teenager, and the tears of the bean were not distressed and seemed to fall down.
"I didn't expect this girl to hold a grudge like this!" Xu Han smiled bitterly, racking his brains and thinking hard about how to fool this girl over!
The sister-in-law of the Qiu family was rushed out of the house in a hurry when she heard Xiying's crying, but after running out of the door, she saw Xu Han holding her daughter and coaxing hard, and she knew it in her heart at the moment, stopped and leaned on the door frame without hurrying, and took out a handful of fried beans from her pocket and knocked it up, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
Xu Han had already caught a glimpse of this scene, and hurriedly asked the sister-in-law of the Qiu family for help, and waited until her face was about to cramp, and she didn't wait for Xiying, the black-bellied mother-in-law, and her future mother-in-law to move a step!
Coaxing a baby is really not a human job, and it is not good to beat or scold, Xu Han can't wait to fight with the two-tailed beast he encountered that night, and he doesn't want to spend endless useless work at this time!
"Hey, this baby, very stupid!"
Sister-in-law Qiu, who had been watching the excitement there, finally couldn't help but lend a hand, she raised her chin and pointed at Xu Han's waist with a disgusted gaze.
"Oops, Jiang is really still old and spicy........." Xu Han, who got the hint, was enlightened, and immediately understood!
