The two children didn't know how far they had walked, how many mountains they had crossed, all they knew was to get out of here quickly and go to a place where they could accommodate the two of them.

"Look, Xingxuan, there is a sweet potato field in front, brother will get you two, wait for my brother here. ”

"Brother, be careful, don't let people see it. ”

It was the first time in the past few days that Xing Yan had such strength, he quickly ran to the edge of the sweet potato field, and began to dig the sweet potatoes in the muddy water with his hands, laughing and shouting, "Look, brother got you two such big sweet potatoes, wait for my brother to get a few, let's find a place to shelter from the rain, brother will cook sweet potatoes for you to eat." ”

Xingyan took off one of his already soaked clothes, wrapped them in sweet potatoes, and ran on the muddy and splashed ground. Suddenly, a shout frightened Xing Yan to the ground, and the sweet potatoes were scattered all over the ground.

"Where did the rabbit cub come from, dare to steal Lao Tzu's sweet potatoes, see if I don't pick your skin. ”

The big man was wearing a hat and kicked Xing Yan in the chest, and Xing Yan was kicked out of a distance, crying, "Uncle, please don't beat me, these sweet potatoes are for my brother to eat, we haven't eaten them for a day and a night." ”

The big man seemed to be angry, and he kept beating Xingyan.

"Don't hit my brother. A trembling voice sounded beside Dahan.

"Another deadly rabbit cub. Then another slap was given to Xingxuan's face.

Xing Yan crawled to Dahan's side, hugged Dahan's leg and begged, "Uncle let us go, I'll give you this clothes, okay for these sweet potatoes."

"Two rabbit cubs, I don't think your two lives are worth the money of this sweet potato. Dahan continued to fight the torture rock, and after a while, Dahan stopped, maybe he was tired. I saw Xingyan lying motionless in the mud.

"It's fucking unlucky, dead rabbit cub, count you unlucky, it's good to die, don't steal anything from me in the future, these sweet potatoes will be exchanged for your life today." ”

Xingxuan cried and crawled to Xingyan's side, "Brother, brother, don't scare me, I only have you." ”

Xingxuan turned around at this time, glared at the big man, and shouted, "You pay back my brother, you pay back my brother." ”

Dahan saw Xing Yan lying motionless on the ground, with blood stains in the corners of his mouth that had not been washed away by the rain, and he quickly fled with a panicked expression, and he couldn't care about Xingxuan's vicious eyes.

"Woo, brother, wake up, woo"

"Ahem, don't push, your body is falling apart when you push. ”

"Brother, I thought you were dead. ”

"Phew, I won't die if that person dies, I'm saying that if I don't pretend to be dead, he will beat us, let's go and find a place to shelter from the rain, brother will roast sweet potatoes for you to eat." ”

Xingxuan wiped away his tears, picked up the weak torture rock, and walked step by step.

There was still a footprint in front of Xing Yan's body, faintly purple, and he didn't cry out in pain.

The two children walked on the muddy road in the direction of the mountains, because where was the direction in which his parents disappeared when they were taken away.

Xing Xuan didn't notice at this time, and all the way into the deep mountain, the ancient jade on his chest exuded a weak light slightly. The beasts around them seemed to be afraid of something, and avoided the two children from a distance.

"Xingxuan, look, there is a cave here, and there is still handwriting at the entrance of the cave. ”

Xing Xuan looked ahead, and the handwriting on the entrance of the cave was blurred, and there was a mess of stones and weeds, giving people a sense of vicissitudes and simplicity.

"Brother, are we going to live here today?"

"I'm sure there were people living here, so there won't be any danger, let's go in and have a look. ”

The stone wall in the cave seems to be artificially carved, there is a statue of several people high when entering the cave, there are unburned oil lamps around it, there is a large stone table in the corner of the cave, there are several stone chairs around, there is a slightly smaller cave house inside, there is a simple wooden bed in the small cave, and a simple wooden frame, on which many wooden tablets and books are displayed.

Two children lit a fire next to the stone statue and ate roasted sweet potatoes.

"Brother, let's sleep here for one night, I'm so tired. ”

The two boys snuggled up to a stone statue not far from the fire and fell asleep. The rain was still falling, and the thunder was still ringing. It seemed that they were really tired and had no strength to cry.

They had been so quiet that night.

Lie down at night and listen to the wind and rain.

Returning to dreams is like spring water, leisurely around the hometown.

Hate goodbye, now there is no place to live.

I woke up last night, a child's body, a teenager's heart.

Two lines of parting tears, telling of long suffering.

Xingxuan opened his eyes, and dimly saw an old man with gray hair looking at him. Xingxuan was suddenly awakened and sat up.

"Who are you?" When he saw the old man's face clearly, his eyes gradually calmed down, and there were blood stains on the old man's body, but Xing Xuan was not afraid, because the old man was Chen Zhengshun.

Xingxuan looked at Chen Zhengshun with joyful eyes, and then looked around, "What about my parents?"

"Your parents are not dead, they are just being held temporarily by the bad guys. ”

Xing Xuan listened to Chen Zhengshun's words, and his eyes showed some sadness. Xing Yan also woke up from the pain of the beating at this time, and saw that Chen Zhengshun's heart had become much more peaceful.

Chen Zhengshun looked at the redness and swelling on Xingxuan's face and the bruise on Xing Yan's chest, and said with tears in his eyes, "The child has suffered you, and if you have a grandfather in the future, you won't be bullying you." ”

A gentle force appeared in Chen Zhengshun's palm and landed on Xingxuan and Xingyan's bodies along with the runes, and the bruises recovered at a visible speed.

Then Chen Zhengshun spurted out another mouthful of blood, and the two children shouted anxiously, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you." ”

Although the two children and Chen Zhengshun only met in this fierce battle, in the eyes of the children, they saw that Chen Zhengshun was full of love, no less than the love of his parents. In the case of losing his parents, Chen Zhengshun became the only support for his children. The two children watched Chen Zhengshun vomit blood and wept again.

Seeing the two children in tears, Chen Zhengshun had an indescribable warmth in his heart at this time. He was an orphan since he was a child, and was rescued by the ancestor of the Chen family in the war, and Chen Yaowen's father was like a brother, which was the first time he felt the warmth of home, because the ancestor of the Chen family did not know where to go many years ago. There was a rebellion in the Chen family, and his only brother died in battle to protect him. And in order to protect Chen Yaowen and others, Dao Ji was damaged and escaped to heaven. After that time, he secretly vowed to protect his relatives even if he died. Because he has gained and lost, he knows how to cherish it even more.

Chen Zhengshun smiled reluctantly and stroked the heads of the two children, "Grandpa, I'm fine, it's just a few minor injuries, and it will be fine after a while." ”

"Really?" the two children looked at Chen Zhengshun in disbelief.

At this time, Xingxuan looked at Chen Zhengshun's white hair, and there seemed to be some wrinkles on his face, which was completely different from Chen Zhengshun he met for the first time. It seemed that the whole person was much older, and he couldn't help but ask again worriedly, "But why has your hair turned all gray?" ”

"It's just a little injured, and we cultivators will get better after a while. Chen Zhengshun looked at the two ignorant teenagers kindly, and held the two children in his arms. But the two children didn't notice Chen Zhengshun's expression.

Chen Zhengshun's brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, "Grandpa, I'm sorry for you, maybe grandpa can't save your parents in this life, and I can't see the process of your growth." If I can persist in surviving this bloody catastrophe, maybe I can spend a happy time with you, grandpa really wants to see every growth on your life path. ”
