Chapter 3: The Escape
Mu Li heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, the two old men who had just cultivated were standing behind him with surprise in their eyes.
"Stinky boy, you've woken up after fifteen years. ”
"Yes, if it's a few years later, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for these old bones. ”
Wearing the clothes that the old man prepared for himself, Mu Li felt a lot more comfortable, even though he was only a three-year-old doll now, he always felt uncomfortable with his bare buttocks.
"Two seniors, do you know why I'm here?"
One of them, the rickety old man, laughed and said:
"Yes, of course I know, you are the two old guys who picked it up and used it for the elderly. ”
“......”
As soon as the rickety old man spoke, Mu Li knew that this old guy was unreliable, and turned his gaze to another old man.
Although the other old man's face was covered with vicissitudes, he was dignified and should be able to ask something.
It's just that when another old man spoke, Mu Li was really helpless.
"I don't want to lie to you, but you are indeed the one we two old guys picked up and brought back to retire.
Otherwise, if he burps one day, Lao Tzu doesn't want to even have a send-off in this deep mountain. ”
Gradually, Lu Li found out that this was actually true, from feeling ridiculous in his heart to starting to resist, and then from resisting to yielding, the young Mu Li accepted his fate.
Hungry, after being coerced and lured by two old guys, he recognized the two old guys as grandfathers.
The dignified old man is the eldest grandfather, and the obscene face and rickety figure are the second grandfather.
"I didn't expect that I would become someone else's grandson as soon as I got out of the ghost gate, and I still had double shares. ”
Mu Li's little face was even more bitter, chewing on the dried meat that his grandfather had exchanged for in his mouth.
Living, being happy is also a day, and being unhappy is also a day, since you can't remember the past, then from now on, anyway, the person who was waiting for him in his memory didn't say that he was in a hurry to see himself, just let himself live.
Although Mu was still a little uneasy, he could only comfort himself at the moment.
Time is three years, and in these three years, Mu Li has really experienced the feeling of being cared for.
Although the two old guys like to oppress Mu Li on weekdays, and they tease Mu Li from time to time, they do love Mu Li as if he were his own grandson.
The two old guys are surprisingly powerful, and the older they get, the more demonic they are.
Of course, although the two old guys always cheat themselves, they really work hard to cultivate Mu Li.
Although the two old guys love Mu Li, they have never doted on them, from the most basic cooking, boiling water, to collecting medicine and hunting, everything is extremely demanding for Mu Li.
In the past three years, Mu Li has grown from an orphan who doesn't know anything to a teenager who can live alone in this mountain forest.
For the two old guys who "bullied" him, although Mu Li had never been soft in his mouth, he agreed in his heart.
On this day, Mu Li carried a strong snowflake cow, bypassing the spiritual field in front of the wooden house, and when approaching the wooden house, Mu Li shouted loudly:
"Big old man, let's see what we've hunted. ”
The old man in Tsing Yi, who lived with a cane in front of the wooden house, was about to open his mouth but coughed violently twice, and when he saw the black blood in the palm of his mouth, the lonely look in the old man's eyes deepened, and he silently put his hand into his sleeve.
The old man hid the loneliness in his eyes, and said smoothly:
"Yo he, can you do it, hunt it yourself?"
The words fell, and the old man took the opportunity to close his mouth and swallow the remaining blood in his mouth.
The old man had a smile on his face and looked at Mu Li, who was tall enough to reach his chest.
It's hard to imagine how much strength Mu Li's thin body contains, and he can actually carry a cow and gallop.
As soon as Mu Li arrived, the second grandfather with a bamboo basket behind him ran over from behind.
The dusty second grandfather put down the bamboo basket full of herbs on his back, panted and said intermittently.
"Phew, it's back, you kid ran so fast, do you want to exhaust my old bones. ”
Mu Li blinked, and his big pure eyes looked at the rickety old man:
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll come back first, second old man, and you cook today." ”
Thinking of the spicy bone marrow that was bubbling with oil and tenderness, Mu Li couldn't help but lick his lips.
"I'm starving, I'm going to eat a whole roast leg of meat, as well as your stewed animal bone soup and spicy bone marrow, uh-huh, and cook a pot of spiritual porridge"
The eldest grandfather reached out to pluck the weeds in Mu Li's hair, and said:
"Stinky boy, you cook today, Lao Tzu and your second grandfather have something to discuss. ”
Mu Li saw the old man's serious expression, it didn't seem that he was joking, he couldn't be so serious when he cooked a meal, it was really something.
Mu Li spread his hands helplessly and said:
"Second old man, it's cheap for you, you cook tomorrow, otherwise it will be ready for a while, and you won't have your share. ”
As soon as the shrewd second grandfather came back, he found that the eldest grandfather had a sluggish breath, but because Mu Li had no exit to ask here, he heard Mu Li's threat and showed that signature obscene smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it tomorrow. ”
After receiving the assurance, Mu Li picked up the hunt that was thrown on the ground and walked towards the waterfall on the side of the mountain.
Seeing the immature Mu Li walking away, the expressions on the faces of the two old men began to become serious, and they walked into the house one after the other.
"Brother Luochen, did the poison on your body break out so quickly. ”
The old man in Tsing Yi sat on a chair and waved his hand.
"Jinfeng, this seat has known that there will be this day for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so early, I thought it could be suppressed for decades.
Alas, it has affected you, and if I had found an opportunity to break the life contract between the two of us, it would not have affected you. ”
"Brother Luochen, don't say that, if it weren't for your life contract with me and sharing the human yuan of my eldest brother, I might have fallen a hundred years ago.
In the past hundred years, I have seen a lot of prosperity in the world, and Jinfeng is content. ”
Saying that, the grandfather sighed heavily.
"Jinfeng, have you ever thought about what you and I will do if you leave? ”
The second grandfather said with a deep groan.
"This kid is pure by nature, but he is also alert and intelligent, and he should be able to live well without us here.
I just don't know if there will be any other dangers in the future, with this child's current situation, being an ordinary hunter in this mountain should be safe for the rest of his life. ”
The grandfather said in a questioning tone:
"Be a hunter and have no worries for the rest of your life?
The things he was carrying were too heavy, and the hatred of the exterminating clan could not be at ease in this mountain for a lifetime. ”
After a moment of silence, the eldest grandfather's brows furrowed for a while before slowly letting go.
"Anyway, even if you and I live for another hundred years and a thousand years, we may not be able to take care of him for a lifetime.
He can't carry what he has to carry for him, he has his own way.
Complete Lingyun heart, even if the heavens are abandoned, they can also lock the luck of heaven and earth, hehe, I really want to see what that stinky boy looks like when he grows up. ”
