Chapter 9: Just Be Strong
The earth is rejuvenated, and the sun spreads out, sprinkled on the earth, sprinkled in the shade of the trees, sprinkled on the water, sparkling. Throw a stone, and the smooth water ripples, and the fine sunlight ripples with the water. The fresh green grass shows the tips of the thin buds, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
Wen Chuanting lay lazily on the rocking chair, his eyes closed and swaying back and forth with the chair going back and forth. The four children in the small courtyard were exercising, and the soaring heat wave was discharged from the four children, adding temperature to the small courtyard.
The firewood door of the small courtyard opened gently in a squeak, and the fire fox, which looked more and more old, stepped over the threshold leisurely, and his eyes casually scanned the four children who were martial arts, with a kind smile on his face, but when he saw the lazy and pretending to ask Chuanting, his heart was immediately unhappy.
"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem"
"Big brother is not feeling well?" asked Chuanting to open his eyes slowly, and asked the fire fox standing by the chair with a concerned expression.
"Ahem......" Firefox almost choked on this concerned word, and the words that were about to spit out were choked by saliva. "It's uncomfortable!" Firefox's stiff tone showed the depression in his heart.
"Big brother is uncomfortable, but you need to rest more, you see how good the weather is in early spring, proper sunbathing can effectively prevent the growth of insects. With a smile in his eyes, he said with a serious face, and after speaking, his mouth turned to one side, and he motioned for the same rocking chair under the shade of the tree.
For the words of asking Chuanting, the fire fox has long been used to it, if he is not used to it, blowing his beard and glaring at him will not work. I had to take care of myself and move the chair and put it not far from Wen Chuanting.
The two remained silent, one continued to sleep, and the other looked kindly at the four children who stretched out their arms and bent their legs. Since two years ago, the fire fox took the five people to the Guantao tribe, and after reporting to the priest elders, the five people of the fire fox became quiet and lived, and the fire fox, because the team he brought suffered heavy losses, he knew that he could not be 'competent' as the leader of the traveling merchants, so he handed over his responsibilities to the elders and stayed in the tribe and no longer went out.
"Alright, let's rest and play. With his eyes closed, he seemed to see the steaming heat above the children's heads, and waved his hand to interrupt the children's exercise.
"Yes, yes, you can rest. The naughty Ju Mang jumped up happily when he heard the voice of Wen Chuanting.
"Then brother, we're out playing. Zhu Rong hurriedly left a sentence, touched the sweat casually, and ran out with a sentence. Candle, who had always been steady, shook his head and watched the second and fourth brothers run out, hesitated, and walked up to the firefox, "Hello, big brother firefox." ”
"Good, good. Firefox smiled.
"Big brother Firefox drinks water, brother drinks water. The quiet and sensible Houtu came out with two jars of water and put them in the hands of the two of them.
Looking at the sensible thick soil, the fire fox took the jug and smiled more kindly.
"All right, rest and go. Wen Chuanting waved the two away, his eyes still closed and he was sleeping.
"The children are good boys!" Firefox sighed.
"Of course. Asked Chuan's tone of course. Choking the firefox again.
"You're going to do this until they grow up?" said Firefox, holding the jug.
Q Chuanting was silent, and Firefox was also silent.
"I want to go out and see ......," asked Chuanting softly. The eyes are still closed.
"It's good to see, children are growing up day by day, and some things should be told to them selectively. Then choose a place to use as a place for the tribe to settle down in the future. There was a long silence before the fire fox slowly spoke.
"Let's talk about it when the kids are adults. "I was a little hesitant. "I don't want to tell them too early and add an invisible burden to them. ...... It's better for the child to be happy. There are some things that we can bear on our own. ”
"Hey...... When are you leaving?"
Wen Chuanting opened his closed eyes, his sparkling eyes looked at the sky, and his voice seemed to float from the sky. "The day after tomorrow, after hesitating for too long, I was reluctant to leave. ”
"I'll take care of the kids for you. However, you have to make it clear to the children first, when the children are older, so as not to sneak out by themselves, it will be troublesome. Firefox stood up, drank all the water, put down the jug, and shook the droplets of water in his hands. "Pay attention to safety, I won't send you the day after tomorrow, so as not to be sad. ”
"Kids, you're bothered. Seeing that the firefox was about to cross the threshold, he asked Chuanting to move his lips and speak up.
The fire fox waved his hand with his back to Wen Chuanting, and walked out of the door in an instant, and the old man's back was a little hunched again.
Wen Chuan looked up at the sky silently, the vast blue sky, the white clouds were long, and from time to time they posed in various forms. Like a wolf and a tiger, the breeze blows, but it slowly changes its form. Just looked up, looked up, until the thick soil cooked the meat, Jumang Zhurong ran home. The sun was setting in the west, and the golden sunlight reflected the sky, and the golden clouds were like neatly arranged gold-armored soldiers.
Time passed slowly, not stopping because of the upcoming parting, nor waiting because of the late rising sun, the night, dragging the body, moving slowly, expecting to be able to suppress the morning sun for a while, but the morning sun struggled in the dark, hoping to escape from the suppression of the night, jump out of the cage of the night, jump out of the ground level.
The creak of the wood door broke the quiet night, and gently closed the door, looking carefully at the dark stone house behind the door. Carrying two years of joy and pain, tonight is about to part, reluctant, reluctant. But the insistence in his heart must make a trade-off, and he has a reason to leave. Leaving may be to prepare for the next gathering, to look forward to the day, to return here with great strength, to the four children.
Wen Chuanting turned around quietly, to pin the long knife, which was the only luggage he carried, and strode away, gently blending into the darkness. The Void Serpent coiled on the beam of the door, its head held high, its green eyes piercing through the darkness, watching the figure slowly disappearing into the night, it forgot to swallow its tongue, and there was no hissing sound in the night.
Wen Chuanting walked softly, he didn't know that at this moment when the morning sun was about to break the darkness, the four children were not as he imagined, in their deep sleep, they stood in the dark, quietly holding tears, watching their brother walk out of the small courtyard, step through the door, and melt into the darkness.
They also made a secret decision on this day, on this dark night, when the morning sun was about to break the night: strong, strong, strong enough to help my brother, and there are some things that my brother should not bear alone.
Because they had overheard that in more than twenty years, their brother was going to destroy their Konghou tribe with his hands!
