Cliff valley. In this outlying place, clouds and mist shrouded it. The sky was hazy and gray, and the valley was gray. The valley is empty and secluded, and the ice is calm.

A vertical cliff with ridged and convex walls. On the wet and cold walls, grass stretches out from the rock crevices. And under the cliffs, there are bushes and long grass.

In the shadow of the cliff, a thin old man carried a bamboo basket on his shoulder. Hold a grass in your hand and turn it repeatedly in your hand. It seems to penetrate the eyes of the world, as if it has used time and space to look at the grass.

"Dad, you've been looking at this grass for a few hours... Pearls are running out of patience. The pigtailed girl, looking at the old man with a blank expression, urged impatiently, "Zhu'er wants to go home." Dad, let's go back. ”

"Zhu'er, this hidden place, Dad will look for it carefully. You might be able to find strange herbs. The old man didn't look at the pearl, but turned it over again, and there was a long clump of grass in front of him. Even the crevices in the cliffs were taken seriously.

Zhu'er looked at the old man, looked up at the sky again, unhappy, and muttered, "It's dark... Zhu'er's stomach also growled. ”

"Okay, listen to Zhu'er, Dad and you will go back." The old man smiled and glanced at Zhu'er, his eyes full of love.

The old man put the grass into the bamboo basket like a baby. With the jumping and cheerful beads, go home together.

"It's good that Zhu'er has a mother, and when she goes home, she will have her mother's cooking... It's a pity that Zhu'er has no mother, only a father. On the way back, Zhu'er was happy, and with this thought, her expression became depressed.

The old man listened to the words and slowed down. Heavy as lead......

Zhu'er was a poor baby, an abandoned baby he picked up. So far, her father and mother have not been found. What makes him even more distressed is that Zhu'er was born mentally retarded, which makes her crazy and stupid.

At this time, another figure suddenly flashed in his mind. The unforgettable image in my heart for many years. It's like a mole on the heart. This woman broke her heart. She has been infatuated with others all her life, and she has been in love with her for half her life.

The old man was sad and longing, and his heart tingled. I think that at the beginning, she was pregnant with her own flesh and blood, but she never forgot others. In a fit of anger, he left sadly. For many years, she secretly sent someone to investigate, and her biological daughter lived with her, and now she has become an adult. The biological daughter and this adopted daughter are generally old. But I didn't have the courage to meet my own daughter.

The old man thought about it... The eye sockets are not noticeably moist. Thoughts are entangled in the past, and countless complexes are entangled. He stared blankly ahead, forcing himself to take his thoughts.

"Daddy." The subtle changes of the old man were all seen by Zhu'er. She looked at it strangely, and stretched out her hand to touch the old man's face, as if she had made a mistake, and muttered, "What's wrong with Dad?" Is Zhu'er not well-behaved? Got Daddy angry? … Daddy don't be angry, Zhu'er is good... Pearl's ......"

Listening to Zhu'er's muttering, the old man seemed to be even more uncomfortable. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his face quivered slightly. He couldn't help but stop, slowly turned sideways, and calmed his heart.

"Dad, don't be angry." Zhu'er saw that the old man was uncomfortable, and she was also uncomfortable. After staring at the old man for a long time, she suddenly smiled and said, "Dad, Zhu'er sings a song for you." She opened her voice to appease the old man. The out-of-tune rhythm swirls through the valley.

The old man calmed down, turned to look at Zhu'er again, stroked her head gently, and smiled reluctantly, "Dad is not angry... Zhu'er sings so well, and Zhu'er is also a good girl. Dad went back to cook for Zhu'er. ”

Zhu'er looked at the old man, and when she saw the smile on his face, she blinked a few times and followed with a smirk.

……………………

Dead. Bead is in a casual position, lying on her back on a small wooden bed, and falls asleep quietly with a smile. She fell asleep and fell asleep, as if the world had nothing to do with her.

The old man stood in front of the bed, looking at the sleeping pearl. Bead flipped over and the lid slipped off. The old man stepped forward lightly and carefully covered her again.

At this time, outside the house, there was a sharp sound, like the screeching sound of a frightened bird. This sound, in the quiet and palpitating night, seems to be piercing from the sky.

The old man looked uneasy, looked at the sleeping pearl, she seemed to be disturbed, her body shook twice, turned over again, and continued to fall asleep.

The old man walked out of the house quickly, and stood in front of the door, his eyes and ears. After a moment's watching, listening, he had a faint smile on his face. It was just a god-shaped leap that fell thousands of kilometers away in an instant.

In the dark and desolate valley, the valley wind whirred. Under a hundred-year-old dead tree, a person stands quietly.

"Brother Miao, I haven't seen you for many years. Why is it important to come in the middle of the night? The old man stood facing each other, saluted the rivers and lakes, and asked for humanity.

"Brother Fan, you can't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do." The person who came was of moderate stature and wore a plain cotton coat. He stood upright, twisting his beard and smiling.

The person who came was Miao Miao, who had lived in seclusion in the mountain villa for many years, and his name was Miao Yi. And the fan brother in his mouth is named Fan Zhong. He also lived in seclusion in the cliff valley for many years, and devoted himself to creating an antidote. When they were heroes, the two had good friends. A gentleman draws up, a lifelong friend.

"What's the important thing for Brother Miao to come to the cold house in the middle of the night?" Fan Zhong was deeply surprised by his move and asked again.

Miao Yi smiled indifferently, and said seriously without hurrying, "Brother Fan, you also know that the younger brother has lived in seclusion for many years, and he has long stopped asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. But for this important matter, I really want to help my little brother. ”

"Brother Miao, don't sell Guanzi, you have something to say bluntly. After talking for a long time, you haven't told you what is going on. Fan Zhong saw that he was serious, but he joked with him.

"Brother Fan has been off the cliff and valley for many years, and the younger generations of the rivers and lakes have risen. If I talk to you alone, I am afraid you will not know him. Seeing Fan Zhong joking, Miao Yi laughed and teased.

"Who is Brother Miao talking about? This person can make you do your best for him. Come to think of it, it must be good. Fan Zhong was said by Miao Yi, and his interest was aroused. I can't help but be curious.

"This person's name is Fan Yin." Miao Yi smiled again and spit out a sentence clearly. The look of appreciation on his face.

"Fan Yin? … I really don't know. Fan Zhong was confused, shook his head slightly, and whispered to himself. After pondering for a moment, he asked again, "What is this Fan Yin's future life, what is the ability to let you do it yourself?" What is it that brought you here? ”

Miao Yi listened to the question, and said in detail that Fan Yin Tianzun Island learned from the island and passed through Miao Zhuang. Miao Yi said to Fan Zhong, "I gave him an antidote." This antidote was given to me by you back then. But I know he's not going to be able to go. and gave it to him. ”

"Whatever I give you, you can do as you please." Fan Zhong smiled and said, "Brother, since you appreciate him, then this antidote is not enough to worry about." ”

"Later, I heard that Fan Yin had offended the Poison Sect. The poison of the evil sect, although it is in front of you, is not elegant. But I'm afraid that Jiang Jiu will create a new antidote to attack you to deal with Fan Yin. Brother Fan, you also create more new things, which will be used by Fan Yin in the future. Miao Yi was worried about Fan Zhong and Dao, and he cherished his words, "Although Fan Yin is a junior, he has a good temperament and kung fu, and he is by no means inferior to us." Such a rare person, I, Miao Yi, volunteered to protect him. ”

"Got it... Brother Miao cherishes people who have both virtue and ability. I cherish all the faithful. I am constantly looking for new herbs, and I will innovate new antidotes. Listening to your words today, I really want to see him. Fan Zhong nodded his head, revealing foresight.

At this moment, another birdsong passed over the heads of the two of them. In the deep valley of the dark night, the silence was broken by this sound.
