Raels followed the middle-aged man like this, and it was not until he reached the westernmost part of the village that the middle-aged man stopped, pointed to the thatched house that was about to collapse, and said to Raels, "This is Huhu's home?"

The roof of the thatched house is leaking in many places, from the place where Raels and the middle-aged man stand, you can see several loopholes, the fence around the house is made of fences, but now it is lying on the ground, and the eaves are covered with cobwebs, obviously, no one has come here for a long time.

Looking at the fence lying on the ground, you can also see horse hoof prints that have been stepped on, and in the center of the yard, in addition to the strong horseshoe prints, there are also pools of horse dung.

The village is so depressed, not to mention that there are horses, not even the common poultry, why are there horseshoe prints here?

An ominous omen suddenly crossed Raels' mind, a feeling like the amethyst he had seen in Duke Azels' palace that day.

"Could it be that Hu Hu's wife and son were robbed by robbers?"

For some reason, such a thought popped into Raels's mind.

The middle-aged man seemed to see his thoughts, waved his hand around, and said, "Our village is poor like this, and you have seen it. ”

"A few years ago, although we were poor here, at least the crops we planted could still solve our food and clothing problems. But just three years ago, a group of robbers suddenly came to our neighborhood, and these robbers came to our village every ten days, and every grain handed over did not meet their expectations, and if there were men in the house, they would chop off a finger of them, and if there were no men in the house, they would take away the women and make them the ladies of the village. ”

"Hu Hu was born with infinite strength, and when these robbers came to us for the third time to sweep us, he finally got tired of what they were doing, and killed them all in one go. ”

"Although they were killed by robbers who did all kinds of evil, after they died, the government came here to check on Hu Hu because of this incident, and Hu Hu left the village in order to take refuge, and he never came back. ”

"The people in the village were grateful to Hu Hu for killing the robbers, and when the government came to investigate the matter, the villagers said that they did not know that there was such a thing, and the government had no way to pursue it. The village has returned to its former tranquility. ”

But the good times did not last long, and after less than three months another group of robbers came to the place where the robbers had been before, and when they came to the village to rob, they told us that the robbers who had been slain were their people, and that they had come this time to avenge the robbers. ”

"Both the frequency and the amount of looting they loot are obviously more ruthless than the previous bandits. When the villagers could not accept it, the robbers induced them and told them that they would not accept their food if they told them who had killed them. As soon as the villagers heard that they were interested, they told Hu Hu about the killing of the robbers. ”

Those people devoured in a fit of rage, so they came to Huhu's house, claiming that they would dig three feet into the ground and dig Huhu out. Hu Hu's wife came out to stop him, and when these people saw that his wife was good, they had evil thoughts, saying that as long as they went to the cottage to be their wife, they would no longer collect the grain here. ”

"Then, the people in the village gave Hu Hu's wife to those robbers?" The more he listened, the more Raels felt that Hu Hu had helped you eradicate the robbers, and for you, he was already a life-saver, and you didn't repay him, but under the lure of the robbers, you said it, which is simply a villain's move. These people, since they are all villains, Raels doesn't need to listen to them to know that what they will do next will also be what villains can do.

The middle-aged man nodded silently and said, "You are right, the people in the village, after listening to the words of those robbers, they tied her up and gave her to those robbers without waiting for Hu's wife to agree." ”

"This group of people is really *** hateful!" Although he had guessed that the truth of the matter would be like this, hearing this from the middle-aged man's mouth, Raels also clenched his fists angrily.

The middle-aged man shook his head bitterly, and said with disappointment: "I didn't expect that the simple and kind villagers I thought would eventually become like that." ”

"Then you didn't stop it then?" the middle-aged man was able to say this to Raels, obviously he was not involved in this matter at the time, otherwise, he would definitely not have the courage to say this.

The middle-aged man didn't make a sound, just looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Then you're participating?" the middle-aged man was silent, causing Raels to change his opinion of him.

"Nope. A faint sadness appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he took a deep breath before saying, "My experience is basically the same as that of Hu Hu. I was out selling prey when they took Huhu's wife away, and by the time I got home, my wife had been taken away by the robbers. In a fit of rage, I went to their stockade and killed them all, and as for my wife, when I found her, she was ravaged and covered in blood, and I wanted to save her, but there was no chance. ”

Raels glanced at the middle-aged man sympathetically, and asked with doubt, "What about Huhu's wife?"

"I don't know. The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Are you dead too?"

The middle-aged man responded: "I don't know about this, there doesn't seem to be their leader among the bandits I killed, if I guessed correctly, his wife should have been taken away by the leader." ”

"Taken away by the leader?Do you know where Huhu's children are?" he kept saying that the robbers had taken away Huhu's wife, but not Huhu's son, and Raels couldn't help but be curious.

The middle-aged man pointed to the children who were eating tree bark or digging earthworms under the corner, and said bitterly: "That's all there are children in the village who can live, as for the children of Huhu, if I guess correctly, they should starve to death." ”

"Hungry?" Raels looked at Raels a little incredulously, he clearly remembered that Hu Hu had said that he entered the illusion to give his wife and son a sum of money, although his wife was captured by robbers, but Raels also believed that his wife would give his son a sum of money when she left, and he should not starve to death.

Raels, who had a little doubt in his heart, asked the middle-aged man again, "Then tell me, what is the child's name?"

The middle-aged man blurted out without thinking and said, "Hu Xiaohu!"

"Hu Xiaohu?" Raels's body, as if touched by something, hurriedly pulled the middle-aged man to a place a few meters away from Huzi, pointed at Huzi and asked him, "Look at this child, are you familiar with it?"

"I don't ......" The middle-aged man shook his head, and was about to say that he was not familiar, but at the moment when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly saw Hu Hu's unique smile on his face, and immediately, he nodded heavily and said, "Familiar." This child is Hu Hu's child, Hu Xiaohu!"

"Are you sure?" said to himself that Huzi was his own brother, and Huzi also told himself that Dear was his real brother, but Raels did not see any similarities in the two brothers. At first, he didn't doubt it much, until he heard the middle-aged man say that Hu Hu's child was called Hu Xiaohu, and then he thought that he was probably Hu Hu's child.

The middle-aged man had a rare smile on his face, and continued to explain to Raels: "The reason why Hu Hu is called Hu Hu is because his parents want him to be able to support his family, and the reason why he calls his child Hu Xiaohu is that Hu Hu hopes that his son can easily catch the prey he wants like a little tiger in the mountains and forests, so that he will not go hungry." The children of our village, from the moment they are born, their parents have always told their children what their names mean. If you don't believe what I said, you can ask Hu Xiaohu. ”

"Good. The middle-aged man's words made Raels more and more convinced that Huzi was Huhu's child, and after nodding at the middle-aged man, he went towards the place where Huzi was standing.

Huzi was sharing money among the people around him, while recalling something, "I seem to have been to this place, but I don't remember when I came." Have I ever been here or not? Did I see this place in my dreams?"

And in his thoughts, Raels also came to him and asked straight to the point: "Huzi, can you tell me, what does your name represent?"

Huzi was thinking about the question, and when he heard someone ask him a question, he opened his mouth without thinking, "When I was young, my mother once told me that I must be as powerful as a little tiger in the mountains and forests, so that I can easily catch the prey I want, so that I won't go hungry." ”

"Sure enough, it's the same thing that guy said. ”

Huzi was thinking about the question, and now answering himself, it was definitely from the depths of his memory, feeling the nervous excitement of Huzi's cerebral cortex, Raels nodded to the middle-aged man in acquiescence.

And at the moment when he nodded, Huzi seemed to have come to his senses, looking at Raels standing beside him, he was very excited, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Lei, did you ask Huzi a question?"

"Nope. "Hu Hu is dead, Huzi's mother is still missing, and Raels doesn't want him to know the truth. That way, he won't be sad about the loss of his parents. Of course, if he could be sure that his mother was still alive and that he could still save her, Raels would tell him the truth.

But...... Raels didn't expect that Huzi's answer would attract the attention of the people next to him, and at this time, a disabled person who had received his favor pointed to his cheek and said, "I said how familiar you are when I see you, it turns out that you are the son of Hu Hu." ”

"I'm the son of Huhu?"

Although this voice was not loud, it made Huzi's body tremble suddenly, and he kept chanting this sentence in his mouth, he only remembered what happened after he was six years old, before he was six years old, he didn't remember anything, he didn't remember who his parents were, every time he asked his brother about it, his brother would refuse to tell him for other reasons.

Now, he was told that he was the son of Hu Hu, how could he not be excited?

Before Raels could stop the man, he put his hands on the man's shoulders and excitedly told the man, "You say that I am the son of Huhu, then you must know who my parents are? ”

Huzi kept shaking the man's shoulders, judging by how often he shook them, how much he wished the other party would tell him the whereabouts of his parents. (To be continued)
