Chapter 5: Departure

"Third brother?"

Hearing the shouts in the forest, Gu Jin, who was looking for it next to the chaotic stone hill, turned his head and saw Gu Xi running towards him with a bamboo basket not far away.

Then, Gu Jin walked head-on, and saw that Gu Xi was fine, and his arms and legs were not injured, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his frowning brows were also relaxed.

"Where did you kid go, tell the fourth sister that you will come back at noon and see what time it is!" Gu Jin's expression tightened, patted Gu Xi's shoulder, and taught him a lesson.

"Hehe, second brother, you finally came back this year, brother, I have to entertain well, no, I ran a few miles to give you the pheasant you caught. ”

Gu Xi smirked a few times, touched his head, and handed the pheasant in his hand to Gu Jin, he knew that the second brother could not be angry with him, at best, he was scaring himself.

"Oh, you kid ......" Gu Jin took the pheasant and sighed, "Don't be like this in the future, there are many fierce beasts in the Great Wilderness, and the second brother doesn't want you to lose your life because of this." ”

"Okay brother!" Gu Xi said with a smile.

Seeing Gu Xi patting his chest and guaranteeing him, Gu Jin shook his head, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face.

His younger brother, there is no truth in his mouth, he has been very clever since he was a child, and he has said several times before that he will not be allowed to enter the Great Wilderness, but how can he hear it in his heart?

"Third brother, why are your eyes ......" Gu Jin relieved himself, looked at Gu Xi's eyes, and asked in surprise.

"Second brother, don't you know, I met a spirit grass in the Great Wilderness, swallowed the spirit grass, and my eye disease was cured. Gu Xi smiled and said nonsense.

Hearing this, Gu Jin nodded without doubts, after all, the boundary they were in was the Great Wilderness, and there were no surprises in the Great Wilderness, and he had even seen flying immortals when he was a child.

"Woo......"

Then, seeing that the time was not early, Gu Jin overlapped his right hand and left hand together, put them to his mouth, and blew them.

There were bursts of sounds, and although the dull sound was not as shocking as thunder, it was carried far away by the wind.

"Okay, the villagers should know the news of your return, let's go back to the village. Gu Jin said.

"Hmm. Gu Xi nodded obediently.

"Third brother, the second brother has good news for you when he goes home this time, you should prepare in advance......"

"What's the good news, isn't it my second sister-in-law that she is pregnant, and I'm about to become an uncle?"

"Can you kid think of something else, haven't you noticed that your second brother and I are any different from before?"

The figures of the two gradually faded away, and the shadows were pulled by the blood-colored sunset, and their voices swayed with the breeze.

......

The night ended, the night of the great wilderness was terrible, and I knew that there were several birds and beasts rising to the sky from time to time in the forest.

At this time, a bonfire rose in an open space in the village, and the flames rose slowly, and the villagers also unloaded the hoes on their shoulders, and sat around with wooden benches, chatting about their daily routines.

"Xi Wazi, where have you been?"

Seeing Gu Xi and Gu Jin returning together, the hunchbacked old man at the gate of the village fence looked worried and said solemnly.

"Grandpa the village chief, I went into the wilderness to catch two pheasants for my second brother, got lost, and came back late. Gu Xi raised the dead chicken in his hand and said with a smile.

The hunchbacked old man had a solemn face, took out a pale cyan bead from his pocket, and looked at Gu Xi.

"Third brother!"

Gu Xia, who was sitting next to Gu's mother, raised her little face, saw the people at the entrance of the village, and ran with her legs.

Father Gu by the bonfire heard the cry, looked up at the entrance of the village, his anxious face showed a rare trace of joy, stopped the smoking gun in his mouth, and ran towards the entrance of the village.

The hunchbacked old man's cloudy eyes blinked, and he took the pale cyan bead in his hand and turned around Gu Xi a few times.

"It's okay if you're fine, hurry back to the village, your father and mother should be in a hurry." Seeing that the pale cyan beads in his hand did not move, the hunchbacked old man looked relieved and said with a smile.

After saying that, the hunchbacked old man hobbled to the edge of the fence, picked up the crutches at his feet, and supported himself.

"Third brother, your eyes are actually better!" Gu Xia walked in front and pointed her little finger at Gu Xi's eyes and exclaimed.

"Xi'er, your eyes ......" Gu's mother followed closely behind, and found that the rags on Gu Xi's eyes were gone, and her eyes were moist for a while.

"Father, mother, the child is not filial, so you are worried, but I found a treasure medicine in the great wilderness, and the blood contained in the treasure medicine cured my eye disease. Gu Xi stepped forward and said comfortingly, what he said was half-true.

"Okay, let's go into the village for the rest, don't just stand outside. Gu Jin said with a smile.

Then, the family walked to the bonfire, and Gu Xi took out a white wolf skin that he had torn off from the basket.

Most of the people in the village are old and young, women and children, only a few sturdy middle-aged people, as for the rest, they have already gone out of the wilderness, some have no news, and some are like Gu Jin, who go home every three or five months.

"Tsk, I can hunt a white wolf skin, it seems that Xi Wazi killed a white wolf, and her strength is not small!"

As soon as the white wolf skin was on display, the old man in the village looked shocked, the white wolf was not something that ordinary people could hunt.

"Haha Grandpa Ma, I don't have that much ability to kill a white wolf, I just accidentally bumped into the corpse of a white wolf. Gu Xi then laughed heartily and said the words made up in his head.

"Xi Wazi, in the few hours you have been gone, the wilderness is not quiet, the earth is shaking, the sky is dark, and there are two suns in the sky, it is simply a wonder of the ages, and it is not easy for you to survive. An old man in ragged clothes held a taro and said.

"That's right, the sky is blowing up, I haven't seen it since I'm so big, grandma, the two suns are about to poke a hole in the sky!" said the middle-aged man beside him.

"The sun?"

Gu Xi was stunned, he didn't expect that during the period of time when he fainted, there were frequent visions in the Great Wilderness.

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about, how many times have I said it, it's not the sun in the sky!" the village chief came with a crutch and hit the middle-aged man in the shin.

"Dad, what is the glowing thing in the sky, if it is not the sun?" The middle-aged man pursed his lips and muttered quietly.

"I said no, not at all!" the village chief blew his beard and glared, and then slipped into the thatched hut on the side.

It's just a small episode, and no one cares.

......

"Daddy, the child has something to ask for. ”

Halfway through the meal, Gu Xi pulled Gu Xia out for a walk, there were only three people left in the house, Gu Jin suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Gu's father beside him with fearful eyes.

"Say, your kid has married a daughter-in-law and has come home twice in less than half a year, so I know that there must be something wrong with you coming back this time. Father Gu smoked a cigarette and said.

"Dad still understands me," Gu Jin looked at Gu's father and touched his nose, and said, "Dad, I came back this time to take my third brother away and let him go to Dacheng with me." ”

Gu's father was stunned, and then slapped the case and said angrily: "You kid forgot how your brother died, I don't care if you want to go out, don't take Xi'er with you." ”

"Daddy, don't scare the child. Seeing this, Gu's mother hurriedly played the round.

Gu Xi stood outside the door, his expression gloomy, his ears against the wall, what the second brother said was what he wanted to say.

Filial piety comes first, if his father insists on not letting him out of the wilderness, he has to follow what his elders say.

"Third brother, why are you standing outside the door?"

Gu Xia, who was playing with her peers by the bonfire, suddenly walked into the door, looking at Gu Xi with big eyes.

At this time, the conversation inside the door stopped abruptly, only to hear a click, and Gu's father opened the door from the door.

Gu Xi looked embarrassed and led Gu Xia into the door.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, no one spoke first, and Gu's father squatted in the corner smoking a cigarette gun.

"Xi'er, you haven't been listening outside the door for a short time, let's talk about it, do you want to get out of the wilderness?" Father Gu said.

"The child wants to ......," Gu Xi said honestly.

"Okay, remember to go with your second brother tomorrow. Father Gu spat out smoke from his mouth, glanced at Gu Xi deeply, and took out two taels of silver and stuffed them into Gu Xi's hand.

"Dad is from here, and I will tell your brother a word, out of the great wilderness, no one will believe it!"
