The He girl, the autumn sister-in-law, the Xiang aunt, and the women in the village all gathered under the mountain forest and waited anxiously. If it weren't for the others, He Nu would have been unable to help but go into the mountains to find her son regardless of her safety, and there were still mottled tears on her face, and she paced back and forth eagerly, stretching her neck from time to time to look at the dark forest.

The rest of the people were worried, and their hearts were also worried about the tired young man. And this gathering of people into the mountain is to hunt spirit beasts, the danger is not trivial, if your own man has something three long and two short, no one to love each other, then how to spend the long years!

Suddenly, one of the waiting women exclaimed, "Look, everyone, they are back!"

The voice was undecided, everyone heard the sound of the forest piercing, He Nu squeezed away the bustling sisters in front of her, and ran alone at the front, and at the end of the mountain forest, Xu Shan also rushed to the front of everyone with his son in his arms!

After pulling the apron tied around her waist, she finally saw her husband who had been away from home for a few days, and her son, who had not returned all night, and she stood in the cold wind and waited anxiously for her son all night........

The husband and wife looked at each other from a distance of a few feet, and the young figure in Xu Shan's arms was trembling all over her body, she trembled and stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and shook her head gently, she looked at her husband who was holding her son with desperate eyes of pleading, but what she got was a heartbreaking silence.......

The women behind him chased after each other, and when they stood still, they all showed disbelief in grief when they saw the scene in front of them, and tears suddenly blurred their eyes.

He Nu tried to blink her eyes, hoping that the absurd scene in front of her was just a nonsensical dream, and that she would go away with the wind when she woke up. But her son's bloody clothes and the strong smell of blood, as well as her husband's equally sad eyes, embarrassed face, and his obviously graying hair, which had only been seen for two days, clearly told her that this was ....... Not a dream.....

The mountain breeze is blowing, the early sun is warm, and the branches and leaves of the purple bamboo are slightly swinging, and the silence is as quiet as ever........ And everyone's hearts suddenly gave birth to some realizations, perhaps, the past quiet days will change a little.

He Nu suddenly felt a black consciousness in front of her eyes and fell into a deep consciousness, and then slowly fell down, and when she was confused, she seemed to hear many people calling her, but she was unable to pay attention to it anymore. Until the moment he fell to the ground, his face was still facing the direction of his son......

.....................................

The ancient courtyard was full of tired and silent villagers, and the gloomy atmosphere and pervasive blood had destroyed the leisurely and comfortable atmosphere of the past.

The ancient plum tree at the door that has never seen flowers bloom is full of branches but there is no trace of greenery, the branches have dried up from the inside out, but the years still can't let it decay, it seems to be so stubborn as if it is waiting for something, is it waiting for the opportunity to bloom in the world again?

The dim room was also shrouded in silence, several women were fiddling with something by the hearth, Aunt Xiang leaned on Uncle Fengzi's arms, and the two stood silently on the edge of the wall and looked at each other speechlessly.

Qiu Jing was not in the house at this time, and Tie Hong and a few brothers were not lightly injured, so he found a spacious place to take care of the injuries of these brothers. Xiao Xiying's eyes widened and looked at Xu Han who was lying on the bed and was being held by He Nu, she didn't understand why the sun was drying her butt and her husband was still sleeping on the bed, she wanted to go forward to wake Xu Han up and accompany her to cross the lake again, but Sister-in-law Qiu blocked her eyes and didn't let her see or move......

Xiying held her little pink lips, tears were stored in her clear eyes, and she lowered her head aggrievedly and sobbed in her arms.....

He Nu looked at the stiff face of the son in her arms, and raised her hand from time to time to stroke Xu Han's hair bun to comb his hair that was already neat and could not be more neat, and whenever someone wanted to get close to the bedside, she would always be frightened and frantically driven away, as if everyone was a wicked person who wanted to hurt her son. Xu Shan leaned weakly at the end of the bed and grinned slightly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, as if he ....... I also fainted.

Xu Han's clothes all over his body had been removed, the stained blood had already been wiped clean, and the extremely slight rise and fall of his chest made people know that this was still a living teenager.

Maybe there are only four words to describe his current appearance, although Xu Han was not as bloated as his parents in the past, he has always been strong and capable. At this moment, his body from his chest to his feet seemed to have been burned out of water! The dry, wrinkled, slightly charred black skin clung to every bone, like an ancient corpse that had been buried for many years!

The old ancestor put his hands behind his back, stood a few steps away and looked at Xu Han with his waist slightly bent, his face was calm and did not say a word.

Just as the old man moved his fingers to do something, suddenly he raised his head and stared at the void without movement, his eyes were deep, his brows furrowed and he hesitated, as if he was jealous, and like a sigh, and in the end, he still chose to give up........

Nie Yun sighed, walked behind the old man, lowered his body, and whispered, "Ancestor, this is how things have been, what do you think is going on with Xiao Han now?"

The old man was still silent and silent, staring at Xu Han who was on the line of life and death, and did not pay attention to Nie Yun's inquiry. This moment seemed to consume the old man's great mind, he turned around and picked up the teacup and drank it all, and the two moist petals stuck to the bottom of the cup to make it even more crystalline.

Nie Yun's expression changed suddenly when he watched Old Ancestor's actions, and after hesitating for a while, he made up his mind to speak, "Old Ancestor, boy, I have something I want to ask, if what you say is wrong, please don't blame me!"

The old man waved his hand, "You are all grown up by me, you don't need to be born, what do you want to say, just say it........"

Nie Yun pursed his lips, as if he was still a little embarrassed, and then he pointed to the empty teacup in the old man's hand and asked in a low voice, "Ancestor, the two petals of the tea cup in your teacup alone have taken me dozens of years to see you, but they have not dried up now, I think it must be a good artifact, if you ..... If it is ....." said this, he suddenly stammered and blushed slightly,

"If it is given to Xiao Han, will it be effective for his injuries?"

After saying this, Nie Yun lowered his head and was extremely ashamed. The brothers beside him were also slightly surprised, and felt that it was quite inappropriate in their hearts, no one among them had ever asked the mysterious ancestor for something, but he was in a hurry, and what Nie Yun did was also worried about Xu Han, and the big guys could understand it.

The old man raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Nie Yun to be like this, he looked at the petals in the lamp and was stunned for a moment, and then slowly shook his head, "Although these two petals are not simple, they are not the same as the little guy's disease, eating them is not only useless but will harm his life......."

Since the ancestor has said so, everyone has no doubts. Nie Yun glanced at Xu Han's terrifying body, as well as Xu Shan and He Nu, who were useless for the time being, and sighed secretly, this will still have to be his head.

"Then Ancestor, help me think about it, what else can I do to save Xiao Han!"

"Help, why do you need to save it, this little guy is not in much trouble...........

The ancestor opened his mouth slowly, but what he said made everyone who was worried stunned, and even Xu Shan and He Nu, who was extremely sad and even in a trance, opened their eyes wide!

The words of others may be jokes, but no one dares to take the words of the ancestors himself as a shamble!

There was a commotion inside and outside the house, and Nie Yun hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, since Xiao Han is fine, why is he still in a coma and has not woken up, and his body is ....... Why is this happening?"

Everyone waited for the ancestor to solve their doubts, staring at the old man nervously, and even the sound of breathing slowed down.

"Ho....... Little guy ....."

The old man muttered to himself, "The reason why I am so thin is naturally because I am hungry ........"

This time Nie Yun didn't speak, but Xu Shan sat up abruptly from the end of the bed, and actually grabbed the old man's arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Ancestor, Xiao Han is really just hungry.....?" How could he, that...... How much food do you have to eat to recover, I'll go hunting now, and I'll bring back enough prey if I try my best!" As he spoke, he was really busy finding a big black axe everywhere and was about to go out, and Brother Nie Yun didn't doubt the ancestor's words at all, and he seemed to be willing to stop after hunting all the mountains......

"Don't panic....... the old man stopped everyone unhurriedly, "It's useless for those mortal beasts in the mountains to eat as much as they want, so let's try it with the spirit beasts that you hunted........"

Xu Shan, who had rushed out of the door, heard the words of the ancestor and jumped back into the house with a roar, and shouted at the He Nu who had not yet come back to his senses and was holding his son on the bed, "Still stupid, didn't you hear what the ancestor said! Xiao Han loves to eat the dishes you make the most, come down and let's cook the spirit beast!"

A ray of sunlight shone into the cold heart, and the girl finally woke up and hurriedly answered the sound, and ran out with her husband without even putting on shoes. Sister-in-law Qiu followed closely with Xiying, who didn't know why, and Aunt Xiang also left Uncle Fengzi's arms to chase after her, and the crowded courtyard was half emptied in a moment!

Even the men who have always kept their fingers on the spring water have a lot of people who want to make a move, the ancestor stopped Nie Yun who was about to leave the house, and his tone was a little helpless, "You go and tell them that the little cub is not very effective for Han'er, go and cook the beast that came out later and feed it to Xiao Han........"

Although the giant beast that came out later was turned into a rain of blood by Xu Han's palm, there was still a lot of flesh and blood scattered everywhere, but at that time, everyone saw that Xu Han was seriously injured, and they were all in a hurry to come back for help, and they just picked up some at random. Hearing the words of the ancestor now, Nie Yun and the brothers were shocked, and after glancing at each other, they rushed to the courtyard without saying a word, and hurriedly greeted Xu Shan and a few people who stayed in the village, and hurried towards the desperate valley again........

The old man sighed when he saw that the always quiet house was messed up by these little ones, and had to clean it little by little by himself.

The sun shines through the flying smoke and dust, and the clear shadows that flow on the ground, and everything is as it has been..........

Suddenly, Xu Han, who was lying on the bed, coughed lightly a few times and frowned.

The old man looked back and saw that Xu Han, who was skinny and bone-ty, was still sleeping naked, and he couldn't help but feel helpless. He walked over and spread out the half-folded quilt in the bed to cover Xu Han's body, and then sat quietly beside the young man and stared at him silently.......

The old man wanted to caress the young man's immature cheek, but he stretched out his hand a few times but paused inexplicably, and finally gave up his behavior.

"I'm sorry......," the old man whispered, "there's only so much I can help you.........

Then he straightened up and walked to the door, gazing deeply at the withered plum tree, and looked at it for a long time........

"It's time for you to hit the road........," the old man whispered.

Xu Han's tightly closed eyes moved suddenly, and his expression was painful.
