Chapter 108: Perseverance in the Illusion
"You say...... What?"
Mother Zhuang's voice trembled a little.org
"Uncle Zhuang, they encountered a desolation...... Hey, Aunt Zhuang, wake up. ”
A panicked voice sounded, Zhuang Ming hurriedly jumped off the bed, he didn't care about getting dressed and putting on shoes, he ran directly to the yard with Ying'er, and sure enough, he saw that Zhuang's mother was already lying on the ground.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you. ”
Ying'er hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground and looked at the fallen Zhuang mother and cried.
"Don't cry, my mother is just frightened, and she will be fine. ”
Zhuang Ming reached out and wiped the tears on Ying'er's face.
"Really?"
Ying'er sniffled and looked at Zhuang Ming with wide eyes.
"Rest assured. ”
Zhuang Ming also knelt on the ground, he lifted Zhuang Mu's shoulders and pinched Zhuang Mu's middle man.
"Whew. ”
Mother Zhuang slowly opened her eyes.
"Where's your dad? ”
Mother Zhuang pulled the corner of Zhuang Ming's clothes and hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, mother, my dad will be fine. ”
Zhuang Ming turned his head again as he spoke, looked at Ying'er and said, "You help your mother go back to the room to rest, and I'll go out to inquire about the news." ”
Ying'er nodded with red eyes.
Mother Zhuang looked at Zhuang Ming uneasily, and was about to speak, Zhuang Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I won't mess around, and my father will be fine." ”
"Brother dog, let's go. ”
After Zhuang Ming finished speaking, he hurriedly took the dog's hand and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
The dog followed Zhuang Ming out of the yard all the way, looking at Zhuang Ming's immature appearance, he couldn't help but shake off Zhuang Ming's hand, "What are you going to do, you don't know, the wild beast is very dangerous, in case you encounter it, death is already the best result." ”
In a village like Shanghe Village, ordinary families generally have food and clothing, so when they encounter a wild beast, the best outcome is to die, leaving a disabled person, not only suffering for their own lives, but even dragging down their families.
Therefore, in the past, Zhuang Ming occasionally heard that a village and a family encountered a wild beast, and correspondingly heard who and who died, but not all of these people died from the mouth of the wild beast, and part of it was also because they were disabled, and they were not allowed to kill themselves.
This is the way of survival of the people in the villages near the Northern Wilderness, and it can be regarded as an ancient tradition, they not only think about their own life and death, but also pay more attention to the survival of their families in many cases.
The loss of a labor force can be painful for a family, but at the same time, an extra mouth can make the whole family miserable for a long time. It's even hard to survive.
This is the most simple and simple wisdom of the villagers.
"Brother dog, my father is in danger now, even if I can't help, at least you let me take a look from afar. Zhuang Ming deliberately looked at the dog with an eager look.
Seeing Zhuang Ming's appearance, the dog hesitated a little on his face, and then he paused and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a look, but you must remember, don't be impulsive, the village chief has already gone to the town to ask for someone, and there will be very powerful people to help when the time comes, and Uncle Zhuang may be able to escape this catastrophe." ”
"I know, I promise I'll just watch from afar. ”
Zhuang Ming nodded.
"Alright, you can follow me. ”
The dog frowned and sighed as he walked out of the village.
"Brother dog, didn't my father cross people on the river, how could he meet a wild beast?"
Zhuang Ming looked at the dog suspiciously as he walked.
"It's not because of you. ”
When the dog heard this, he subconsciously replied.
"Because of me?"
Zhuang Ming looked at the dog, a little surprised.
The dog paused, looked at Zhuang Ming and sighed, "You don't know?"
Zhuang Ming was even more puzzled, he looked at the dog, waiting for his answer.
"Didn't you say that you want to go to the city with Ying'er to study? Recently, in order to raise money, Uncle Zhuang went into the mountains with Uncle Li and them in the village early every morning. They also collected medicine in the mountains, and hunted some animals to exchange for some money, who would have thought that they would encounter wild beasts. Uncle Li just came back and said that now Uncle Zhuang and Uncle Zhao are now trapped in the cave and can't hold on for long. ”
Zhuang Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, although this was just an illusion, he shuddered suddenly, and felt the hairs on his body stand up.
There is no other reason, such a thing, Father Zhuang has done it before, and more than once.
When Zhuang Ming was young, the life of the family was not easy, because there were two children to raise, and Zhuang's mother also cut off contact with her mother's family, and the family relied on Zhuang's father to go out to ferry.
Later, when he couldn't hold on, he occasionally went into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt to subsidize his family. Everyone in the village on the edge of the wilderness knew that it was dangerous to enter the mountains, but at that time, Zhuang's father had probably no choice.
Zhuang's father has been lucky, survived that difficult time, and then Zhuang's mother began to do some needlework, with the aesthetics and skills raised by everyone's ladies, her workmanship is very popular, so the family's life is also better.
During that time, Zhuang Ming still remembered it, because even if it was so difficult, Zhuang's father and his family did not discard the Zhuang name they picked up, but still raised them like their own children, which is also the main reason why Zhuang Ming unreservedly regarded Zhuang's father and Zhuang mother as real biological parents.
He has been confused and resisted by the world, but for Zhuang's father's family, he has always regarded him as a dear person.
"Let's go. ”
Zhuang Ming's voice was a little low.
The dog felt it, and he didn't say anything anymore, but just led the name of the village and cautiously entered the mountain.
Soon, in a valley on the edge of the mountain, Zhuang Ming saw a large army of people armed with all kinds of 'weapons', these people were all village elders, and they also carried hoes and other farm tools in their hands.
It is a tradition that wild beasts do not actively attack places where people gather, and this is a tradition that has been passed down since ancient times. It is also the main reason why countless villages on the edge of the wilderness are not attacked by wild beasts.
"The nickname is here. ”
Some of the elders looked at Zhuang Ming with a sigh.
"Don't worry too much, maybe your father can hold on a little longer, the village chief has already gone to the town to ask for someone, maybe there will be no problem. ”
An old man looked at Zhuang Ming with a sigh, although he said words of comfort, his face was full of worry, and even he didn't believe these words.
Zhuang Ming just nodded, didn't say anything, just looked at a cave hundreds of meters away, at the entrance of the cave was a white beast, its mouth was long, its body was about a meter high, it stretched out its fangs, staring coldly at the inside of the cave.
Zhuang Ming took a deep breath, the environment he was in now was before he went to Chiba City, so his cultivation had disappeared without a trace, although the desolate beast in front of him was the weakest one, but as an ordinary person, it was also a fool's dream to win it, but some of the martial arts techniques in the Easy Formula, he practiced more or less, although there was no cultivation to support, but it was better than nothing, and he always had to try to know.
Of course, Zhuang Ming knew that everything in front of him was fake, and the real Zhuang Father should probably enjoy life leisurely in the City Lord's Mansion of Thousand Illusion City at this time.
But for some reason, something was stirring inside him.
Just like the bottom line of the heart, even if it is just a drill, but if it is loosened slightly, it will be like a flood, pouring thousands of miles, and it will never be recovered.
Even if it's just an illusion, the bottom line must not be breached.
When everyone was not paying attention, Zhuang Ming took a sharp step and rushed in the direction of the beast, making a sound of exclamation.
