Chapter Twenty-Nine: Death from Injury
The four of them studied the route. It was found that they could be on the same road for a while. The first stop was Li Yunhe's house, and by the way, I went to his house as a guest, had a meal, and rested for one night before continuing to go. His home is near the Lianyun Mountain Range, and it should be possible to reach it in a day. The second stop is Pingzhou, out of the Lianyun Mountains, with the footsteps of three people, you can get to Pingzhou in about half a day.
Changning will return to Yancheng from Pingzhou, and Jun Wuwu will return to Shengjing from the opposite direction. Wen Xu was silent for a moment, but he still planned to go to Shengjing with Jun Wuwu first to have a look before making plans.
The four of them were outside the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, waiting for the dawn to come.
After the sky was slightly bright, Li Yunhe couldn't help but set off. Let him lead the way. The four of them cautiously crossed the Lianyun Mountains. Although they encountered some first- and second-order fierce beasts on the road, the four of them easily and neatly landed on the ground, and they walked briskly all the way.
All day ahead of sunset, he walked out of the Lianyun Mountains.
"Ahh Li Yunhe shouted. The voice was clear and long, with an urgent feeling of joy.
Asking the other three to look at him, Li Yunhe explained, we would call it this when we came back from hunting outside, telling the people in the village that we had come out alive.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! The three of them followed his example and shouted. I feel a lot better.
"It's good to finally get out of Lianyun Mountain!" Changning smiled contentedly.
"Bump!" Jun Wuwu knocked on the head in Changning. "It's satisfying. In the future, if we stand on the top of the continent together, don't you faint with happiness? ”
It is not yet waiting for Changning to review itself. Wen Xu smiled, "We will walk towards the road to the upper realm together!" He looked at the sky reverently, full of yearning.
Looking at the firm, confident and yearning appearance of the two of them, Changning also swelled with pride, "Then we will make an agreement here." In the future, we will work together to step into the peak and pursue the road to the upper realm together! Laugh proudly. ”
The Upper Realm? That legendary beautiful and desirable place, beautiful as a dream, rich in products, strong as a cloud, wonderful powder in the upper realm! Li Yunhe never thought about it. But when he looked at his companion, he suddenly felt that it was not a distant dream. "It is hereby agreed. Stepping on the peak together, breaking into the upper realm together! ”
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the four young boys and girls with dreams, casting a faint glow on them. Standing in the sunset is also extraordinarily beautiful and dazzling.
※
Under the leadership of Li Yunhe, the four of them soon came to the village where Li Yunhe was born.
It is an extremely humble village. The buildings of all the villages together are less than half of Changning's house. There were about forty or fifty households. They are all small wooden houses built with wood from the mountains, and a few families have a small yard with a fence and grow some vegetables. I didn't see any fields along the way, and it may be that there are often wild beasts in the vicinity, which is not suitable for growing valuable crops.
There didn't seem to be much in the village, except for a few children playing under a large tree. Only one woman sat on the side and washed her clothes.
"Aunt Lan. Do your laundry! Li Yunhe seemed to be very familiar with the woman. Say hello cheerfully.
"Hezi! You're Hezi! The woman was startled at first, then threw down her clothes and hurried over, crying out for joy. You kid, where have you gone? You know how worried people are about you. ”
Several children next to him also gathered around, and they all shouted happily, "Brother Yunhe is back!" Brother Yunhe is back! ”
"Huh." Li Yunhe replied to a smirk that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Lan Zhen looked at Li Yunhe for a moment, and found that he looked much better than before his disappearance, so he was relieved, "It's good to come back!" It's good to be back! Sure enough, he is the most talented young man in our village. Stronger! ”
"My grandma, she's okay? I'm going back to see her old man. I went to my aunt's house to see my aunt later. Li Yunhe was happy for a while, and then said to Aunt Lan.
The laughter suddenly stopped. The children looked at Aunt Lan with some sadness on their faces and some bewilderment. Aunt Lan's eyes also darkened.
"What's wrong?" Li Yunhe felt that something was wrong.
"Hey. You go back and see. I was so happy to see you just now that I forgot to tell you. Your grandma is dying. Aunt Lan said with difficulty.
Li Yunhe was stunned at first. Soon anxiously ran in one direction.
Aunt Lan dropped her unwashed clothes and chased after her.
The three of Changning also followed behind the two.
"Grandma! Grandmother! Wake up. Hezi is back! Hezi is back to see you! ”
Such a sad and hoarse voice had never been heard in Li Yunhe.
Changning and the others also walked quickly to the cabin. As soon as you enter, you can see a withered old woman lying on the only bed in the room. The long gray hair was neatly combed back of his head. Wearing a whitewashed cotton cloth with a shabby quilt next to it.
Jun Wuwu walked over, pulled Li Yunhe away, and probed the old woman's veins with his hand, his face became heavy, and his expression was a little trance-like, "The old lady has run out of oil, if it weren't for a belief that has been supporting, I'm afraid I'd have gone a long time ago." ”
Jun Wuwu took out a pill and put it in Li Yunhe's hand. "This is a Zengyuan Pill, ordinary people can live for ten years if they eat it, but the old lady can only support it for an hour if she takes it now."
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo. Li Yunhe cried like a child.
Changning and the other people standing in the room were also a little unbearable, and their eyes were a little sour.
After crying, Li Yunhe put the pill in water, helped the old lady up, and fed it to her mouth with his own hands.
Soon the elixir worked. In the expectant gaze of everyone. The old lady's eyes slowly opened. At first, there was a moment of confusion.
"Grandma, I'm Hezi. Hezi is back. Li Yunhe reluctantly pulled his mouth and smiled, his voice soft, lest he startle the old lady.
"Hezi is back, Hezi is back." The old lady's gaze gradually softened and cleared. Holding Li Yunhe's hand, he smiled brightly, "I said that you kid will definitely come back." Grandma is looking forward to bringing you back. ”
"It's all bad for the river. Hezi guarded his grandmother every day after that. Li Yunhe looked at the old lady's bright smile, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.
"Silly boy. Grandma's body, I can't figure it out. Grandma is going. Now that you've grown up, grandma is relieved. The old lady looked at Li Yunhe, who had not seen him for half a year, and was greatly relieved.
Seeing that time was running out, the three of Changning and Aunt Lan quietly retreated. Leave some space for their grandparents to talk quietly.
Aunt Lan went to the village chief and waited for the old man to see the old lady for the last time.
"My mother was like this back then, and she wouldn't close her eyes until I went back." After Jun Wuwu came out, he found a stone and leaned on it tiredly, as if he had been immersed in memories, his eyes were filled with sadness, and he looked at the sky in the distance motionlessly, and the whole person was filled with a desolate atmosphere.
Changning and Wen Xu looked at him. I was about to say something comforting, but I heard him continue.
"Our Jun family's elixir is also one of the best in the entire continent. My mother went so young. How can I not hate! The tone of sorrow was tinged with resentment.
"I am the eldest son of the gentleman's family. Why should that man's son enjoy all that is mine? I'm not reconciled, I must take it all back. Jun Wuwu roared unwillingly.
"I must return to Jun's house with dignity and let those villains who have hurt me several times see it. I'm alive and well, and I'm going to live even better! When the time comes, I won't kill them, I'll let them watch from the sidelines, watching me take control of the Jun family. Step into the ranks of the strong. Let them live forever in fear and fear until they die. Ha ha! He was laughing, but his voice was full of pathos.
"My father will surely see that I am his best son! The most capable one! A hundred times stronger than the kid who would only spoil in his mother's arms. When he said the word father, there were faint tears flashing, and there was a deep feeling of admiration.
"You know how hateful she is. When she first came to our house, she was even better than my mother was to me. But when she had a son of her own, she tried to kill me several times to clear the way for her son. It's ridiculous, I can't bear to do anything to her. Although Jun Wuwu said this, his voice trembled a little, and his face showed a deep look of disappointment.
"I always remember how gently she smiled at me at the beginning. At that time, my father used to come to visit us and joke with us. How happy we were then! Why everything that happened next? There was some nostalgia and heartache in his tone, which made the listener's heart ripple.
……
Although they felt sorry for him, Changning and Wen Xu didn't say anything. Now they just need to listen to him quietly, he just needs to vent.
Until Jun Wuwu was tired and lay there and stopped talking. Changning took out a handkerchief and handed it to Jun Wuwu, "Oh, cry." It'll be better if you cry. When you return to the capital, no matter how painful it is, you have to face it with a smile. ”
Changning believes that he will not continue like this forever. He only touched the scene with some sadness, and he was a little homesick. Maybe he didn't hate them as much as he thought?
He just craved affection more.
Wen Xu glanced at Changning strangely. Apparently incomprehensible to her actions.
Jun Wuwu took the veil calmly and cried silently. It's like a lost child.
