Section 10: Returning to the Village (1)

What if there was a person who was trapped in a dark space for a long, long time.......

Here, nothing but endless darkness remains. Suddenly, one day, this person saw a small ray of light inexplicably shining in the darkness in the distance, although it was only a very faint and faint ray, but it was so beautiful and pure. From this person's point of view, the meaning to him is definitely more than a faint ray of light.

For this person, this ray of light means that there is a way out here, that he can escape from the cage of darkness, and that he has hope of leaving this endless darkness. How beautiful this ray of light is, dare to ask who is underground here and now, and will not go towards this ray of light.

Ren Du is like this, his repeated dream is like this black space. And when he heard Zhou Banxian talk about it, and then the two aliens in front of him saved them, and saw the abilities of the aliens with his own eyes. It was as if he had seen a light, faint, but he believed that it would help him get out of this infinite cycle of dreams. However, the person he loved the most, his father, didn't even give him the qualifications to take a step. How can this young child think through his heart.

Huzi's father had already pulled Ren Du's father aside. And here, Huzi was still chattering about Liu Kui's various strange questions, Liu Kui sometimes answered him with a smile, and sometimes looked at Ren Du on the side.

Chen Xi also looked at Ren Du standing silently on the side, she was curious why this young man was so stubborn just now, she walked to his side amicably and asked gently.

"Little brother, your name is Ren Du?"

Ren Du nodded, and said obediently, "Well, yes."

"Why do you want to be a stranger so much?" Chen Xi stroked the loose hair on his forehead, as if he asked Ren Du unintentionally.

A simple question hit Ren Du's heart, and Ren Du hesitated. He looked at Chen Xi and muttered, "Why do I want to be a strange................r?" He knew the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to answer with that answer, he didn't want to tell anyone his reason, he didn't want to tell anyone about that dream he had, that horrible dream that kept repeating itself.

"yes, can you tell my sister?"

Chen Xi's eyes also looked at Ren Du, although the young man in front of him looked at him brightly, but with such a casual question, he hesitated at this moment, and Chen Xi began to pay attention to him. Because he was so determined to go to their academy to test and want to become a stranger, he even almost quarreled with his father. It's not like a kid who is usually headstrong and noisy. Now Chen Xi asked the reason, but he was hesitant. The whisper in his mouth seemed to be questioning himself, as if he didn't have a clear answer. Chen Xi was puzzled by the young man in front of him, he was not as big as Huzi, what did he say in his heart. She summed up everything in front of her, and she felt that there was definitely something else hidden in this young man's heart.

After a while, Ren Du still answered her, and he said quietly: "I also want to protect everyone like you, protect my father, my sister, and protect everyone." ”

Indeed, the reason why he wants to become a stranger is indeed to protect everyone. His dream, the dead people in the dream, he thought it was all true. He wants to be like Liu Kui and Chen Xi, who can protect those people as they protect themselves. Of course, he was more reluctant to let his father, his sister, and the people he cared about hurt.

"Come on, I'm sure your father will support you! He's not like that unreasonable, if you tell him why, he'll agree. Since the young man in front of him didn't want to say more, Chen Xi couldn't continue to ask.

"Yes, come on, little brother. Liu Kui, who was watching them from the side, also encouraged at this time.

"En!" Ren Du's eyes also brightened, as if the haze in his heart was not as much as before, perhaps, as they said, just tell his father seriously, he thought in his heart.

On the other side, Huzi's father pulled Ren Du's father to sit not far away

"Hey, Brother Ren, don't say I'm nosy, and don't say that I don't have you in my head! Why don't you let the child go?" Huzi's father pinched it and told Ren Du's father directly about his inner doubts.

After a long time, Ren Du's father sighed lightly, frowned and said, "Brother Zhang, I have my own reasons, I have made up my mind, don't say more." His words were concise and clear, but he did not answer Huzi's father's question at all, and his eyes looked into the distance after speaking, and his thoughts seemed to be drifting.

"Why? Why can't they let our family live together in peace? Why? Why?" the man held a woman's hand tightly with tears on his face.

"Ren Ming." If you can, don't give up your child, Ling'er, and become a stranger. Don't! I'm sorry!" The woman who was clasped by the man's hand also looked at the man with tears on her face.

"Wan'er, don't leave us! I can't live without you! Children can't live without you!Please!, don't go!" The man's hand seemed to be clenched tighter at this moment, as if he was begging the woman.

"I'm sorry Ren Ming! If I could, I would never leave, and I would spend my life with you." However, if I don't leave, my beloved Du'er, Ling'er, and you. You're going to be dragged down by me. I'm sorry. I can't do it, I can't put you in any danger. The woman turned and hugged the man tightly, crying in his ear.

"Promise me! Don't give up, Ling'er, go on the road of the stranger, all this I do is to protect you!

The scenes and words of the past seem to be in Ren Du's father's mind and ears at this moment, and they are flooding again. Memories swept through his mind like a tide, like smoke, and inextricably infiltrated his thoughts. It's really terrible, but how can people not remember it. Ren Du's father clenched his fists, his heart hurt, and all this, he could only bear it alone, what the woman said to him before leaving, he could only remember it forever.

"Brother Zhang, we lost our words just now, let's not think about it too much, let's clean up and go back. Ren Du's father got up, retracted his wandering thoughts, and looked at Huzi's father.

"Okay, okay, don't blame me for being nosy. Huzi's father also looked at the man in front of him who was full of sorrow, got up and patted his clothes.

The two walked back to where they had left off, side by side. Huzi was still chattering there asking Liu Kui all kinds of questions, and sometimes dancing made Chen Xi chuckle. And Ren Du sat on the side, holding his chin with his hands, as if he was quietly listening to their conversation, as if he was thinking about something else.

Ren Du's father came back at this time, showed a smile, and apologized to Liu Kui and Chen Xi. "Brother Liu, Miss Chen, I was rude just now, and the two of you have saved your life beyond retribution. Why don't you go down to the humble house and have some food, so that we can do our best as a landlord."

"Yes, you must try the purple mountain wine brewed by Brother Ren, whoever drinks it will say that it is good!

"It's... Don't bother the two uncles, we just heard about the strangeness of this Ziding Mountain, and we came here to take a look, and we didn't plan to stay for a long time. Thank you two uncles for your kindness. Liu Kui saw that the two of them were so warmly invited, but he thought that it would inevitably be troublesome, and he came out this time to see the strangeness of this purple mountain. Slightly apologetic, he clenched his hands into fists and politely refused to Ren Du's father and Huzi's father.

"Hahaha! That's really going to our village, Brother Liu, don't you know, this Ziding Mountain is no different from ordinary peaks during the day. If you want to see its peculiarity, you have to wait until night. Huzi's father saw that Liu Kui was unwilling for this reason, so he laughed and explained to him.

"It's really as Brother Zhang said. This purple mountain is beautiful until night. At this time, there is still a long time before dark, if Brother Liu does not dislike it, it is better to go to the cold house together to sit down, have dinner, and watch it again. Ren Du's father invited Liu Kui again.

"That's right...". , Liu Kui really hadn't heard others talk about this Purple Mountain at night, it was strange, but he only heard others talking about Purple Mountain, which was beautiful and magical. He didn't ask much about it, so he invited his female companion Chen Xi to come and take a look, and at this time, listening to the words of Rendu's father and Huzi's father, he was also confused.

"Then let's go to the village with the uncles, Liu Kui. Later, we'll come back to this Ziding Mountain. Chen Xi saw Ren Du's father, Huzi's father, invited him three times and twice, and then considering the purpose of their trip, he was embarrassed to refuse, and said to Liu Kui gently.

Liu Kui touched his head, although he was still a little hesitant, but when he heard Chen Xi's words, he seemed to have decided, and he said to Ren Du's father and Huzi's father with a little apology: "That....I'm really sorry to bother the two uncles." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Liu is polite! Let's drink some wine together in the evening, and I'll go home later and ask my mother-in-law to stew all the roe deer meat I hunted last time, and eat it together at night!" Huzi's father laughed and patted Liu Kui's shoulder, his sleeves flicked, and he was already thinking about how to entertain them.

"Then it was decided. Brother Zhang, let's go to the front to get some spring water first, so as not to come in vain, Brother Liu, Miss Chen, you wait for us for a while, and we will be in front. Ren Du's father did not forget the purpose of their coming, and pointed to Liu Kui and Chen Xi in front of the mountain spring.

"Hahaha, okay, the two uncles will go and get busy first. I also have to dispose of the corpse of this demon beast, I can't stay here, and there are still a few treasures on it. Liu Kui also responded with a smile, looking at the corpse of the owl beast in the distance.

"Well, Du'er, Huzi, are you going together?" Ren Du's father saw that Liu Kui also had his own affairs, and looked at Huzi and Ren Du.

"We're not going, we're going to follow Brother Liu to see the corpse of the demon beast. Huzi waved his hand and said happily, as if he could fly happily with Liu Kui. And Ren Du didn't speak, as if it was a tacit.

"Okay, let's go first, Brother Liu, Miss Chen, the two dolls are bothering you to take care of them" Ren Du's father arched his hand towards Liu Kui and Chen Xi, glanced at Ren Du, and then turned around and left with Huzi's father.

"Well, it's okay uncle. Liu Kui watched them leave, and then turned around and walked towards the corpse of the beast.
