Chapter 3 An Isolated Mountain Village

The morning sun dewed, and the soft light overflowed from the clouds to illuminate the sky, and the light poured out warmed the earth through the branches and leaves, and the forest was full of life.

"You two hurry up, okay?"

Sword Shadow looked back at the two behind him and urged.

"Hmm..."

I saw Ling Xue drooping her head and opening her eyes slightly, obviously looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

Wang Shuang was also in a half-dreaming state, staggering under his feet and almost fell, this time it seemed to have a refreshing effect, he smiled awkwardly, and then walked quickly to the front of the team.

The blood-red scenery around and the roars of different beasts on the mountain no longer seem to be so terrifying at this moment.

The heavy rain last night made the air exceptionally fresh, and although the ground was a little muddy, the thick laurel leaves were used as a bedding, which did not make the shoes full of mud.

It may be that this road has been traveled countless times and is already familiar with the road, or maybe sleepiness swept in, Wang Shuanghe closed his eyes again.

Seeing Wang Shuang, who was about to fall asleep, and Ling Xue, who had been drooping his head, Jian Ying shook his head helplessly.

"Wang Shuang, you are small..."

Before the words were finished, only to hear the sound of "bang!", Wang Shuang hit his head on the laurel tree in front of him, and he was stunned at first, and then sat on the ground and covered his forehead and shouted, judging from the laurel leaves falling in the air, the impact force must be not small.

Seeing this scene, the sleepy-eyed Ling Xue was slightly stunned, and her sleepiness seemed to be swept away, and then she covered her lower abdomen and laughed, and the laughter like a silver bell passed with the wind, and she couldn't stop for a long time.

In the endless woods, the thin figure continues to move forward with laughter, and occasionally a breeze blows the branches and leaves of the laurel tree, making it flutter in the air and dance with the wind, the ordinary scenery can be so charming.

"It's exhausting to finally get out of that hellish place. ”

Wang Shuang, who was slumped on the ground, gasped, looked back at the hundred ghost forest who had just walked out and scolded with a smile.

"Ahhh~"

The green silk is falling, the eyes that love to smile are bright, Ling Xue who is yawning has a pleasant look, and the rare quiet and lazy makes her look like a well-behaved and docile kitten, the eyes of Jian Ying and Wang Shuang can't help but stare at that delicate little face, and the fire of admiration has been quietly burning.

"I'm going home again, but this time it's really enjoyable, I don't know where we're going to play next time..."As if she hadn't noticed, Ling Xue, who was talking to herself, stretched out her waist and raised her head, stretched out her small palm to block her eyes, and enjoyed the sun through the gap between her fingers.

Gently, his eyes gradually became sad, and suddenly, Sword Shadow coughed lightly and said, "Although saying these words now may affect your mood, but don't forget, we sneaked out this time, how do you think we will be cleaned up when we go back?"

Seeing the sword shadow with a wicked smile on his face, the mood of the two suddenly became depressed.

As if thinking of the miserable appearance when they were cleaned up, the two couldn't help but lower their heads, gloomy and timid, and climbed up their eyebrows.

"Hey, just kidding, don't do that. ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jian Ying hurriedly changed his words, but the two of them didn't seem to listen to anything, just walked abruptly.

As if realizing that what he said was very inappropriate, Jian Ying scratched his head and followed with an embarrassed expression.

Thinking of being scolded by her parents again, Ling Xue's eyes had already begun to redden, Wang Shuang was still wiping the cold sweat that had never stopped from beginning to end, and even the sword shadow, which had been acting very meaningless, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

The three of them walked slowly in the direction of the village, each step seemed extremely heavy, the scenery along the way was superb but they had no intention of appreciating it, and the fragrance of birds and flowers could not attract a trace of attention.

"Woo woo, where have Shuang'er and Xue'er gone, how many days have they been, and there is no news at all. ”

The sobs of the two women roamed the room, and the corners of their eyes had long been eroded by tears, and there were deep marks.

"This rabbit cub is getting bolder and bolder, I used to know how to say it, go out to play for two or three days and know that I will come back, this time it is even more arrogant, I dare to sneak out without saying hello, and wait for this rabbit cub to come back to see that I don't pick his skin!"

The man yelled angrily, but there was more worry in his eyes, this person was Wang Shuang's father, named Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang was also a well-known local hunter back then, but for some reason, he never went hunting again.

Now, he is a drunkard soaked in a wine jar, but no matter how much he drinks, no one in the village has ever seen him drunk......

"Brother Wang, the children are greedy for fun, you are angry, besides, look at you, where do you look angry now. A thin man beside him whispered comfort, but the worry in his eyes was no less than Wang Qiang, he was Ling Xue's father, Ling Zhengyun.

The two couples expressed their worries and thoughts about their children in different ways, hoping that nothing would happen to them.

Outside the village......

"Hey, look at you, aren't those three little mischiefs, tsk, they can be regarded as coming back, these days the Wang family and the Ling family have really never eaten a good meal, and they haven't slept peacefully, these children are not worry-free!"

Seeing Ling Xue and the others, the villagers who were busy in the farmland stopped their movements and said to the surrounding neighbors.

"These kids don't know where to play again, look at it this time, Wang Qiang and Ling Zhengyun will definitely not spare them!"

Another villager responded, gloating.

"However, with the sword shadow following, what else can there be like a disaster..."

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of their homes, and listening to the heated discussions of the villagers and the situation in their homes along the way, Wang Shuang and Ling Xue's heads were lowered.

I didn't know how to speak now, and the overwhelmed Sword Shadow had to be silent.

The two were entangled for a while, and were just about to start and enter the door, only to hear a "squeak", and the door opened by itself.

Then, I saw Wang Qiang, who had rolled up his sleeves, walking with tiger steps, and kept screaming and scolding in his mouth.

"You rabbit cub still know to come back, see that I don't pick your skin!"

Seeing his angry father, Wang Shuang ran away without saying a word.

However, when he realized that he was in danger of escaping, he simply lay on the ground and rolled around and played the scoundrel.

"Dad, I was wrong, I didn't dare, I didn't dare anymore..."

Seeing this, the onlookers all laughed, and Wang Shuang, who looked embarrassed, also quickly got up, scratched his head and smirked.

"Twins..."

He didn't care about the dust on the child's body and hugged him into his arms, and tears of joy came out of his eyes.

Staring at the corners of his mother's purple eyes, the tears overflowing from them were hitting Wang Shuang's face bit by bit, at this moment, his eyes were slightly red like a fish in his throat, and he made a vow in his heart that he would never let his mother cry again.

The beating and scolding are full of love, and the laughter is full of warmth, but there is still one person, who quietly left in this warm scene, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, dragging his tired body, in the noisy crowd, leaving only a trace of Xiao Suo's back that no one noticed.

Looking at such a warm picture, the sword shadow who tried his best to endure it was still difficult to resist the tears that came out of his eyes in the end.

Holding his hand in front of his forehead, the sword shadow retreated step by step to the trot until he left without interest...

"Tears, tears can't stop flowing, why am I used to this feeling..."

"It hurts so much in my chest, it hurts... Dad, why should I stay alone in this world, why..."

There was a cry of sorrow from the empty mountain, he was so helpless, he seemed so pitiful.

But what is ridiculous is that no one pays attention to even the heart-rending cry, let alone cares for and comforts them.

Because in the eyes of outsiders, he is nothing more than a monster who killed his mother and was abandoned by his father.

Jian Ying, who knows this well, will always only leave his tears to himself.

As if to drive all the sorrow and pain out of the body, the shadow of the sword kept pounding the earth, even if the flesh and blood were blurred, even if the bones were broken!

But he still didn't stop.

The sobbing sound was still there, and the pain and anger unconsciously formed a huge net, which made him torture but unable to help himself...

...... in the village

"Stop, where do you want to go?"

Hearing her father's words, Ling Xue shrank her head and hurriedly hugged Ling Chu, for fear that Ling Zhengyun would beat her.

"Zhengyun, Xue'er has come back safely, why are you still murdering her. ”

"That's it, Dad, I'm back well, why are you still murdering me. ”

With her mother's protection, Ling Xue couldn't help but become bold, and stuck out her tongue when she spoke.

"Look at this girl, it's getting more and more disagreeable, it's really pampered, how can I get it after I don't teach you a lesson today?!"

While speaking, Ling Zhengyun walked towards Ling Xue, but there was no trace of anger on his face, it seemed that he really loved his daughter.

"Wow, Dad is going to beat me, Dad doesn't hurt Xue'er anymore, woo woo..."

Seeing Ling Zhengyun coming over, Ling Xue hurriedly hid behind Ling Chu, but no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look scared.

"Hey, Xue'er don't make trouble, let's go home and eat something, I have lost a lot of weight these days. ”

Hearing her mother's pampering words, Ling Xue happily got tired of being in Ling Chu's arms.

Hearing this, the upright Wang Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Ling, don't you know, when she couldn't walk and I carried her on her back yesterday, she obviously felt much heavier than before, and she almost didn't exhaust me to death." ”

Time seems to stand still, leaving only the sound of belated breathing.

"Hahaha..."

In an instant, laughter sounded, and Wang Shuang, who didn't know why, had no choice but to laugh along.

At this moment, a bone-chilling chill hit from behind, making Wang Shuang's heart tremble.

Slowly turned around, but saw Ling Xue's eyes full of anger on his face, and at this point, Wang Shuang, who had suddenly woken up, felt a pang in his heart, and ran away.

"Wang Shuang, you stop for me, dare to say that Miss Ben is fat, you bastard, don't let me catch you!"

After a shocking scream, Ling Xue didn't care about the image of a lady, and struggled to catch up with Wang Shuang, looking at her expression, she couldn't wait to peel her skin and cramp!

Seeing this, Ling Chu couldn't help but sigh, who doesn't want his daughter to be gentle and considerate and understanding? But now this arrogant and unreasonable character is also what he is used to as a mother.

Looking back, I happened to see Wang Qian with a smile on her face.

For this reason, Ling Chu smiled apologetically, as if he was apologizing for the child's rudeness.

However, Wang Qian gave her best sister the most natural smile, in her opinion, Ling Xue was so cute, besides, what she expressed was more shy.
