Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Tiger Returns
The fire demon couldn't find Ye Zhenlong's whereabouts, which can basically confirm the conjecture of the dragon in early summer, since ancient times, the most afraid of fire is the wolf, and the wolf will not go to a place where there is fire, even if it is a bonnet fire, or even a torch. She had informed Tang Junlong before, asking him to lead a group of people up the mountain with torches, if the wolf saw it, he would definitely run for his life or not come out of the cave. Because of this, the fire demon did not find him easily. Of course, this is just conjecture, because many demons, seeing how much fanfare they go up the mountain, will not act rashly.
Using fire demons against wolf demons is the best way. Long Chuxia thought about leaving this matter completely to the fire demon to deal with, so that he could train his actual combat experience.
Tang Junlong felt ridiculous to the extreme that Long Chuxia had confessed to go up the mountain with a torch to find Ye Zhenlong, and he didn't want to comply, but unfortunately Long Chuxia asked for the emperor's token, so he had to lead people up the mountain.
On the other side, the hedgehogs came with the news that Concubine Ying's younger brother Hu'er's adoptive father had died, and now Hu'er was heartbroken and asked if he wanted to bring him back.
Long Chuxia thought about it for a while and decided to go in person.
Long Chuxia used the transfer technique to the southwest mountainous area, and when he saw Hu'er, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he and Concubine Ying looked very similar, and his facial features were like twins. It's just that the tiger has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, slightly black and yellow skin, a rough dress, and a somewhat honest expression.
In short, it is a man of the Gu Tianle type.
When Long Chuxia saw him, he was rolling up his adoptive father with a shabby mat and putting it on his back to carry him up the mountain to be buried, his eyes were red, and he had been crying for a long time, and the bottom of his eyes was swollen to the size of a walnut.
"This little brother, where are you going?" Long Chuxia suddenly entered the door to speak, which startled Hu'er, he took a step back, and saw that the person who came was a beautiful woman, so he said with a red face and sadness: "My father is dead, and now he is going to the mountain to be buried, this little lady, why are you here?" There's no one else here but us! ”
Long Chuxia said: "Are you a tiger?" ”
"I'm a tiger!" Hu'er was slightly stunned and looked up at Long Chuxia.
"I came to you, do you remember who you are?" Long Chuxia remembered that he was more than six years old when he went missing, so he should have some memories.
Hu'er looked at Long Chuxia blankly, with a somewhat thoughtful expression, "This little lady, doesn't she know Hu'er's hometown?" ”
When Long Chuxia heard him say this, he knew that he had not completely forgotten his hometown, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly said, "How much do you remember about your hometown?" ”
Hu'er carried his adoptive father back to the house, put his adoptive father down, covered his adoptive father's body with a shabby quilt, and said: "I only remember that there is a father and a sister at home, and there is a jujube tree in front of the door, and a huge lantern is hung on the jujube tree." ”
Long Chuxia remembered that there was indeed a jujube tree outside Bufu, but as for whether there were lanterns on the tree, she didn't pay attention to it. It's just that it doesn't matter if the lantern is there or not, the person in front of him should be the missing brother of Concubine Ying.
"And do you remember your name?" Long Chuxia asked.
Hu'er shook his head, "I don't remember." ”
"Then I will bury your adoptive father for you, are you willing to go back with me to find your biological father and sister?" Long Chuxia asked gently.
Hu'er hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I want to go back and look for it, but they probably don't want me anymore." Otherwise, how could you lose me? My father said that I had been abandoned on the side of the mountain, and that I was so sick that I was almost eaten by a wolfdog. After speaking, Hu'er's eyes were also red, he knelt on the ground, and choked up: "It was my father who raised me, only my father is my relative, and they don't want me anymore." ”
When Long Chuxia heard what he said, he knew that he must have misunderstood in his heart, and he didn't explain anything, but said: "Does he not want you, why don't you go back and find out in person?" If they really don't want you, ask them why they are so cruel. Otherwise, will you be willing? ”
Hu'er didn't speak, there was a trace of deep sadness on his honest face, and after a while, he picked up his adoptive father again and walked out of the door. Long Chuxia followed him up the mountain and found a feng shui treasure to bury him. Hu'er sat in front of the grave and cried for a long time, but Long Chuxia only sat there with him and didn't persuade him.
After a long time, Hu'er raised her head, and her red and swollen eyes became more and more like walnuts, "This little lady, I'll go with you!" ”
Long Chuxia smiled and said, "Okay! With that, he stood up and took his hand, "Hu'er, let's go!" ”
Long Chuxia did not use the transfer technique directly this time, but led him down the mountain, bought another horse, and the two rode together for about two hours, before taking advantage of the tiger's inattention, he used the transfer technique to the capital.
It was already a moment since he returned to the gate of Bufu, stopped the horse and landed, Hu'er's tears flooded all of a sudden, and he stroked the jujube tree in front of the door that was not quite the same as in his memory, and he muttered: "It's all grown so big." He suddenly groped for the trunk with his hand, and finally touched a few familiar patterns at a height of one person, he smiled all of a sudden, and looked back at Long Chuxia, "This little person, I painted it!" ”
Long Chuxia looked at him crying and laughing, and his heart was infinitely sour, this child who had been living outside for twenty years had returned home. What is it like to touch your childhood memories? How many people still remember the stupid things they did when they were younger?
A family member opened the door and came out, and when he saw Long Chuxia, he hurriedly saluted, "It's the dragon girl who is here, why is it so late?" ”
Long Chuxia asked, "Have you slept with your lady?" ”
"Not yet, now I'm talking in the living room, King Qingping is here, and a few adults are accompanying me to drink tea."
Long Chuxia nodded, turned around and pulled Hu'er, who was a little hesitant, and said, "Go and tell the adult, just say that the young master is back!" ”
Jiading was stunned for a moment, looked at the man beside her suspiciously, and when she saw it, she suddenly burst into tears, that appearance was too similar to Concubine Ying's mother, and she must be the young master who had been missing for many years.
His hands trembled, and he hurriedly answered the call and rushed in.
Master Bu and King Qingping and a few Beijing officials had tea in the living room, and the topic was nothing more than the case in the past, these adults were all people who had handled murderous demon cases in the past, and now they are all in important positions in the court.
"My lord, my lord......" The family ran out of breath, and when he entered the threshold, he fell to the ground without paying attention, and he didn't care about the pain, he still got up and ran to the step and said: "My lord, it's the young master who is back, the young master is back!" ”
Master Bu couldn't help but be angry: "What young master? What are you doing frizzy? Didn't you see the prince and a few adults here? Retire! ”
The family wiped a handful of sweat and stammered: "It's the young master, and he looks exactly like Concubine Ying, and the dragon girl came back with it, at the door!" ”
Like a cold thunderstorm, he calmed Master Bu, his mouth trembled, his eyes were a little dazed, he tried to concentrate on the focus, stared at the family, and asked dryly: "You say, young master?" Young Master......"
At this time, Long Chuxia was holding Hu'er's hand step by step, as soon as the eyes of the step man touched Hu'er's face, he suddenly took a few deep breaths, and a huge joy rose from the soles of his feet, and surged up to his head, he couldn't listen to a word of many messy and noisy words around him, he took a step, thinking that he was walking towards his son with the fastest footwork, but in fact, he only took a small step, and he felt that his body was heavy, and he couldn't take another step.
Twenty years, how many days and nights of hope? This situation appeared countless times in my dreams, and every time I woke up, my heart was broken. Over the years, I have tried countless methods, but I can't find his whereabouts, how many people have been deceived, how many people have been fooled, all of them are hopeful, hope is extinguished, and it is almost desperate.
(Today is my mother's birthday, I wish her the happiness of the old people such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan)
