Chapter 4 Departure
Two days, in the blink of an eye!
In the early morning, the sky was gray, the cold sea breeze was blowing, and at the small intersection of the village, all the villagers gathered here, because this was the day when Mu Chen decided to leave.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, I'm going to a distant place, but I can't bear you!" Mu Chen said reluctantly.
The faces of the surrounding villagers were also full of reluctance.
"Xiaochen, although you have only been in our village for two months, we know that you are a good boy, the young eagle has grown up and needs a wider sky to spread its wings and soar, go, go and find your own path. The gray-haired village chief in the crowd walked out, patted Mu Chen's shoulder, and said kindly.
After Village Chief Li finished speaking, he took out a bronze medal from his cuffs, pulled Mu Chen's little hand, put the bronze medal on it, and said solemnly with a somewhat reminiscent expression: "When I was hunting in the mountains, I met a seriously injured monk, and later took him back to the village for treatment. ”
Mu Chen didn't expect Grandpa Li to be in this situation, he took the token and looked at it carefully, but only found that there was a "white" word engraved on it, and there was nothing special about the others, but when he thought that the token was the meaning promised by the powerful monk, he carefully put it away.
"Mu Chen, go out and have a good time, go out and break out of your own world, but the people outside are unpredictable, the world is sinister, you have to be careful!" The burly Uncle Li Ke also said to Mu Chen.
"Mu Chen, I heard that the demon beasts outside are not only powerful, but the taste is not to mention, you go out to improve your cultivation, capture a few peerless demons in the future, and bring them back to barbecue and eat. Li Hu, who was broad-shouldered and fat, suddenly gave Mu Chen a bear hug, remembering the good taste of Mu Chen's barbecue beasts, and said with saliva.
Mu Chen looked at Li Hu and said, "Fatty, don't worry, I can still forget you, you are indispensable." ”
Hearing Mu Chen's assurance, Li Hu let go of his clenched arms and stepped aside a little sadly.
"Brother Muchen, are you still coming back?" A light voice sounded, looking for prestige, only to see a girl in a light green dress standing aside, her ruddy little mouth slightly opened, her big eyes fluttered, and she asked with a look of hope.
The girl is like the girl next door, although she is dressed plainly, she still can't hide the smart and fresh special temperament, looking at the worry on the girl's face, Mu Chen's voice naturally softened. "Of course I'll be back, Sister Ling'er. ”
"Yay!" Hearing the good news she hoped for, the girl shook her pink fist, and suddenly cried out in surprise, her eyes bent into a shallow crescent moon, and two sweet dimples appeared on her face, which were cute in a flash.
"But Sister Ling'er, in my absence, without me to protect you, you have to take care of yourself. The young man's eyes were warm, and his palm unceremoniously pinched the delicate little face in the stunned gaze of everyone, and chuckled.
was stunned for a long time by Mu Chen's intimate behavior, Ling'er's little face flashed a trace of blush, and then her bright and smart eyes stared at the pair of dark pupils that did not contain impurities, and smiled knowingly.
"But when you take a shower, you have to close the doors and windows, after all, not everyone is as upright as me, especially Li Hu's fat man, thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed appearance, he is not a good person at first glance, you have to watch out for him." Mu Chen said as he squeezed in the direction of the fat man with the corner of his eye.
Ling'er was still immersed in Mu Chen's concern, but when she heard his bad scenery and inappropriate words, the contrast between before and after made her speechless.
"It's really a piece of wood...", pouting slightly, Ling'er complained a little, as if she remembered the previous rumors that Mu Chen peeked at her bath, her face showed a shy attitude, and after scolding "Dengzi", she turned around and walked behind her mother.
Or knowing Ling'er's thoughts, Mu Chen's small hand pinched the tip of his nose a few times, and looked up at the sky, in order to hide his embarrassment, for a long time, he laughed helplessly, and then his eyes glared fiercely at the fat man not far away, knowing in his heart that this guy had ruined his reputation!
The fat man Li Hu also obviously found that the eyes staring at him exuded a malicious light, so he gradually turned around and secretly slandered: "Who told you to call me to sentry at the beginning, you peeked at it yourself for a long time, and said that next time it will be my turn, and then, there will be no then..."
Seeing this scene, Mu Chen slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Folks, I'm really gone. Mu Chen glanced at the villagers deeply, and laboriously picked up a bag beside him, which contained many items such as daggers, change of clothes, and gold coins made in the village, and the weight was obviously not light, and he resolutely embarked on the path away from the mountain village.
Looking at Mu Chen, who was gradually moving away, the fat men Li Hu and Zhao Ling'er both cried, after all, they were only eleven or twelve-year-old children, so it was naturally difficult to bear the pain of parting.
Mu Chen vaguely heard the cry, turned around, looked at the people who waved goodbye to him, and suddenly felt more reluctant, and hesitated in place for a while, but those bully soldiers injured himself and Grandpa Li and the bandits in the village, knowing that only by walking out of the village and stepping into the wider world can he go further on the road of martial arts, and can he better protect his relatives and let them no longer suffer from bullying by others.
Today's departure is for a better protection of his future!
So I resolutely turned around and took a firm step to keep going.
Looking at Mu Chen, who gradually lost his back, the villagers also left the intersection one after another and returned to their respective homes.
Only Zhao Ling'er, who was still crying intermittently, pear blossoms and rain, the fat two who were crying wolves, and the village chief Li Zheng with tears in the corners of his eyes were left.
Go all the way! This is the sincere hope of the three people and the villagers for Mu Chen at this moment.
