683 The wish of his life
Mu Feng only hesitated slightly, and the Great Elder directly interrupted him.
"Don't say anything, if you still recognize me as a grandfather, honestly recuperate from your injuries, and I'll arrange everything. When the Great Elder said this, he sighed leisurely again, and then said, "I'm not young anymore, I may not have a few years to live, what are I doing these things for, it's not all to keep the family business of our Mu clan's branch, it's for you." ”
Mu Feng was silent and couldn't say anything.
It is true that my grandfather had some selfish intentions, but this selfishness was not for my grandfather himself. In his opinion, even if the Mu family is half an outsider, he wants the Mu family in Black Rock City to stay in the hands of this branch after all, and he is unwilling to fall into the hands of others. Even Mu Hanyan was just an excuse he used to hit Mu Rui'an.
This is also his life's wish, if he doesn't let him try, I'm afraid he won't be able to feel at ease even if he goes to Jiuquan.
Although he didn't have any hope for the final outcome of the matter, Mu Feng still decided not to stop him, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he had to be at ease.
......
Stone Mountain Ridge, located hundreds of miles north of Black Rock City, Mu Hanyan originally thought it was just a barren mountain range, but after arriving, he knew that it was a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles.
Starting from the Longyan Mountain Range, a mountain range of thousands of miles is simply not worth mentioning, but it is not easy to go deep into it to find a family. But fortunately, Mu Cheng knows the way.
"I remember the village in front of me, where Kazuki's home should have been. Coming to the foot of the mountain, Mu Cheng pointed to a rugged path ahead and said to Mu Hanyan.
"I see, either you go back first, or stay here and wait for me. Mu Hanyan said.
The two were worried about the safety of Huayue and a few people, and when they went out, they ran wildly, hundreds of miles, and even Mu Hanyan was a little tired, and Mu Cheng was of course even worse. Originally, Kazuki had taken his grandmother to live in the city before, but I don't know why they moved back to the village here.
"I'm fine, I'll go with you first, and I'll come back if there's any danger. Mu Cheng said.
"It's fine. Mu Hanyan took a closer look, although Mu Cheng was sweating profusely, his breathing was still even and steady, and it seemed that his strength had improved a lot, so he didn't worry about it.
The two of them did not stop, and hurried along the path in the direction of the village.
The moon is dark and the stars are scarce, and the shadows of the trees beside the road are swaying. The strange thing is that all the way to the road, I rarely hear the sound of insects and birds, the closer to the village, the quieter, so quiet that people feel weird.
The village that Mu Cheng said appeared in the field of vision, the village is not big, there are only about twenty or thirty households, low and old earthen walls, black tiles with grass, and a scene of poverty and defeat.
Getting along with Hua Yue on weekdays, I only feel that he is calm and atmospheric, but he is subtle and introverted, cold and a little arrogant, absolutely many family children have a good temperament, seeing this dilapidated village, Mu Hanyan is hard to imagine that he grew up here.
It was not very late, but there was no light in the village, and it was so quiet that not a single rooster or dog could be heard.
"That's not right!" Mu Hanyan quickened his pace and flew towards the village.
As soon as he entered the village, Mu Hanyan stopped.
Two corpses, lying on the stone road into the village, not far from the well, also sideways, and then look at the door, outside the courtyard, in the corner of the house...... In this small village, there are cold corpses everywhere.
From the white-haired old man to the toddler, there is no one alive in the name of Baihao Village, not even chickens and dogs.
Mu Hanyan only heard Mu Feng say that Hua Yuezi was in danger, but he didn't know that even the entire village had suffered a catastrophe, seeing the cold corpse, seeing the pair of eyes full of despair and helplessness until death, his heart was sour, and he was angry.
What kind of person is so vicious, not even letting go of defenseless old and young women and children?
Behind him, Mu Cheng also clenched his fists, and his teeth clenched.
"Who the hell is so cruel that I'm going to kill him. Mu Cheng looked at a mother holding her infant child tightly, but the two were cut into two pieces by a sword, his heart was furious, and he said fiercely.
"Find Kazuki first, and then they'll talk. Mu Hanyan was angry, but he remained calm.
There was a dead silence in the village, there was no sound of fighting, either Hua Yue Zirong was in danger of dying like these villagers, or she had escaped.
The village is not big, the two of them only spent half a quarter of an hour searching the village, and did not find the bodies of Huayue and Zirong, it seems that they guessed correctly, they really escaped.
"There's a fight here, they should have escaped from here. Mu Cheng found clues on the edge of the grass at the end of the village and said to Mu Hanyan.
Almost as he spoke, a cold star flashed on the hillside behind the village, and then there was a sound of gold and iron resonating, although it was still far away, it was also very clear in the silent night.
"Let's go. Mu Cheng perked up and wanted to rush towards the hillside.
"Wait, quietly pass. Mu Hanyan grabbed Mu Cheng.
Hua Yue and Zirong were still alive, and Mu Hanyan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but the more times like this, the more he had to stay calm.
Hua Yuezi and the elusive Jiang Yuzhe, the three of them were forced to flee in the wilderness, and they didn't know how strong the other party was. After all, Mu Hanyan had not yet been promoted to sword master, and he didn't know the strength of the other party, so he was unwilling to easily expose his whereabouts.
She is here to save people, not to send them to death, and it is best if she can stab a cold knife in the back and succeed in one fell swoop.
Mu Cheng nodded, seeing that Mu Hanyan could still stay calm at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration. If he had the strength of Mu Hanyan and faced this situation, it was estimated that he would have been so arrogant, how could he still be so calm.
The two of them slowed down, and under the cover of weeds and shrubs, they ran quickly towards the hillside.
There was a small temple built on the hillside, and the old red bricks were as dilapidated as the village below the mountain, and even half of the clay statue of the god remained, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the god of the mountain or the god of the land.
Hua Yue and Zirong were leaning against the corner of the small temple wall, their cloaks were ragged, their bodies were showing large and small scars, and the corners of their mouths were bloodshot, obviously both of them were injured all the way away.
The faces of the two were pale, gasping for breath, and the fingers holding the sword were trembling slightly, but their expressions were still resolute and cold.
An old woman with white flowers was hidden behind them, her wrinkled face full of sorrow.
"Huayue, let's go, why bother to give my life for an old woman who is half buried in the ground. The old woman said with tears in her eyes.
