Chapter 12: An Zetian

"Xiaotian, don't mess around, your little brother's body hasn't healed yet, don't go out for a walk," the old man said to An Zetian young man pretending to be educated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Grandpa An, it's okay, I can play with Xiaotian, this can be regarded as my request for repayment," Fan Chuan said seriously.

"Your current body can't, alas, my grandson likes to play, hehe, the old man will call you Xiaochuan in the future" The old man looked at Fan Chuan kindly and said.

"Yes, Grandpa An can tell me anything" As Fan Chuan spoke, he thought of his grandfather Jing again, this situation and this scene were so similar that Fan Chuan's eyes inadvertently oozed some tears.

Abandoning sadness again, Fan Chuan seems to have adapted to this mood of sudden happiness and sadness.

"Then Xiaochuan, let's go to bed and rest more, I'll go to the city street to buy some things, and I'll be back soon" Then the old man turned to An Zetian and said, "Xiaotian, you can play outside the door for a while, don't disturb your brother Xiaochuan to rest, when your brother Xiaochuan recovers, he will naturally play with you"

"I know, grandpa, Xiaotian will listen to grandpa" As he spoke, An Zetian turned around and ran out the door to play.

"Grandpa An, the kid feels that his body is fine, why don't you let the kid help the kid go to the city street to buy things?" Fan Chuan looked at the kind old man in front of him and said.

"Haha, Xiaochuan, no, you can just rest, besides, you are not familiar with this place," the old man said with a hearty smile.

"Oh, okay then, then Grandpa An pays more attention to safety," Fan Chuan said in response.

"It's okay, you can rest," the old man said with a smile, turning and walking out the door.

Feeling these warmth, looking at the unfamiliar room and environment in front of him, Fan Chuan seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

Maybe the next time I leave, maybe it's sad again, maybe it's a lot of guilt, maybe it's torture.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaotian, what's the matter? Where are you going to play?" a middle-aged man with a sleepy dry wood on his back shouted to the fair-skinned teenager in front of him.

"Oh, it's Uncle Shang, I'll go play in the woods outside the city for a while" The fair-skinned young man was An Zetian, because he heard his grandfather say that the little brother Fan Chuan at home was seen in the woods outside the city, so he wanted to go to the woods to have a look.

"Why do you want to go there? I heard that there are cult people haunted there, I think you better not go, go home and play, otherwise your grandfather will worry about you for a while," said the middle-aged man who was called Uncle Shang by An Zetian with concern.

"It's okay, Uncle Shang, my grandfather went to the city street to buy something, and besides, I'll take a look outside the woods, and I won't go in," An Zetian, who was playing in the sky, said stubbornly.

"Look at your stupid boy, remember, just look outside, don't go in," Uncle Shang, who was carrying dry firewood, said with concern.

People who live in the corner of Yechaocheng know that this playful, eccentric An Zetian, fair-skinned, and cute-looking An Zetian is indeed loved by many people who live in the surrounding area.

"I know, Uncle Shang, you hurry home," An Zetian said happily, turning around and running out of the city.

"This stubborn boy, I really can't do anything about you" Uncle Shang, who was carrying dry firewood, shook his head with a wry smile and walked in the direction of his house.

"Wow, the trees here are really thick, it's so beautiful, hehe, if you can build a house next to here, it would be so fun," An Zetian, who was outside the city, looked at the dense woods in front of him and said happily.

The road on the other side of the woods outside the city was very sparsely populated, and few people came to this side of the wooded road unless they had to go to a few small towns attached to the distant Moon Terror City to run errands. Legend has it that someone has seen the members of the Ancient Spell Cult in this wood, but because there is no research to confirm it, it is just a matter of talking about it in people's mouths.

An Zetian, who was having a good time, suddenly saw a white light around a few big trees not far from the woods, and An Zetian, who didn't know what it was, thought it was a fairy coming, the white light came for a while, and it seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and gradually formed a round spherical white circle, which made An Zetian feel very surprised, so he forgot what Uncle Shang had just said to himself, and paced towards the aperture.

"What is this? Why do you feel that the closer you get, the more you can't walk?" An Zetian pouted, dragging heavy steps, looking at the aperture that was getting closer and closer to him.

At the moment when An Zetian was wondering, his body suddenly became lighter, and his steps were not heavy, which made An Zetian feel a little surprised, so he accelerated his pace and ran towards the brighter and brighter aperture.

"What is this?" Looking at the aperture in front of him, An Zetian said seriously.

Maybe it was because he didn't understand what this thing was, so the naïve An Zetian was ready to reach out and touch this seemingly strange aperture.

At the moment when An Zetian's palm touched the strange circle, something strange happened, I saw An Zetian's body twitch for a while, his eyes were wide open, and then he fell backwards unconsciously, fainting motionless.

"Little God, come and see what delicious things grandpa bought for you and your brother Xiaochuan, this is what grandpa bought from the shop in the north of the city" Fan Chuan, who was sitting on the bed, was studying the contents of the crystal ripple feather ring when he heard Grandpa An's voice from outside the house, and then the door of the house was pushed open.

Fan Chuan immediately put down his right hand and withdrew the true qi that had opened the Crystal Ripple Feather Ring back into his body.

"Oh, Grandpa An is back, Xiaotian is not at home, he may still be playing outside" Fan Chuan immediately got out of bed and stood up to face Grandpa An in front of him and said.

"Oh, then don't care about Xiaotian for now, this kid likes to play outside, it's really not worry-free, come, Xiaochuan, you come and try it, this is the crisp cake that grandpa bought for you and Xiaotian in the north of the city" As he spoke, Grandpa An lifted the thing wrapped in yellow paper in his hand.

"Grandpa An has worked hard, I'm not hungry, you can keep it for Xiaotian to eat when he comes back" Fan Chuan said with emotion after hearing the words of the kind Grandpa An in front of him.

"Hey, you stupid boy, grandpa bought it for the two of you, come, you taste it first" As he spoke, Grandpa An tore open the wrapped yellow paper, revealing what looked like a dough-shaped pastry inside.

"Okay, Grandpa An, boy, just taste a little" Fan Chuan walked to the crisp cake on the table and said, thinking that this was Grandpa An specially went to the north of the city to buy for himself and Xiaotian, although he didn't know how far the so-called north of the city was from here, but if he insisted on not eating it, it would make Grandpa An uncomfortable.

"Well, that's right, you're welcome" Grandpa An said gently, his eyes then turned to look out of the door and said, "Where did you go to play this little day?"

"Grandpa An's crisp cake is really delicious, huh...... Grandpa An doesn't have to worry, maybe Xiaotian is on his way home now, and he can't tell," Fan Chuan comforted after tasting the sweet pastry.

"Well, then let's talk and wait for him," said Grandpa An and sat on the stool in front of the table.

"Well, Grandpa An doesn't have to worry," Fan Chuan also sat on the stool and said with Grandpa An.

The sky outside the house gradually darkened, but he hadn't seen An Zetian come back yet, and Grandpa An was less and less in the mood to chat with Fan Chuan calmly.

"Xiaochuan, look at it, it's getting dark, why hasn't Xiaotian come back yet, or I'll go out and look for it" Grandpa An responded in response.

"Well, Grandpa An, I'll go with you to find out," Fan Chuan said and stood up.

"Don't go out before your body is healed, I'll do it myself," Grandpa An said with concern.

"I'm fine, Grandpa An, let's go" Fan Chuan responded and walked out the door.

The sky is gradually getting dark, and the number of people on the corner of the city is gradually decreasing.

I searched for several households in the corner of the city, but I didn't see An Zetian.

Even as it was getting darker, I could still see the obvious nervousness and uneasiness on the old man's face.

"Hey, isn't this Old Man An? What's wrong? Do you still want to go out to the city street now?" asked a middle-aged man walking in the distance.

"Oh, it's Xiao Shang, where have you been? I'm looking for my little day, this kid went out to play today, and he hasn't come back yet," Grandpa An replied.

"I just went to City Street to run some errands, didn't I just come back. Oh, hasn't Xiaotian come home yet?" The middle-aged man who was called Xiao Shang by Grandpa An said suspiciously.

"Hmm, does Xiao Shang know where Xiao Tian went to play?" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Grandpa An immediately asked nervously.

"Well, today I went to chop wood, and I saw Xiaotian on the way back, and I heard Xiaotian say that he was going to play in the woods outside the city, and I persuaded Xiaotian not to go, but this kid stubbornly didn't listen to me, hasn't Xiaotian come back yet?" Yes, the person talking in front of me was Uncle Shang whom An Zetian met during the day.

After hearing the words of the middle-aged man surnamed Shang, Grandpa An's already nervous and haggard face showed a particularly serious feeling of unease.

"This is bad, what can I do about this?" Grandpa An said as if he was about to cry.

This made Fan Chuan feel that the woods outside the city in the mouth of the middle-aged man seemed to be in unspeakable danger.

"Grandpa An, don't worry about it yet, let's go look for it in the woods outside the city now" Fan Chuan saw this scene and immediately stood up and said.

"Let's go, Old Man An, I'll accompany you to find it," the middle-aged man immediately followed.

So a group of three people walked towards the gate of the city at night with fast steps......
