After slowly coming back to his senses, Xiao Yiyi found that he was back in endless darkness, but the soul he had felt entangled and torn before was fortunately not broken, and although the chaos in his mind slowly disappeared, it left him with too strong a feeling of swelling. It was as if his eyes were pressed by a boulder, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. After a long time, Xiao Yiyi, who had already become tired and weak, seemed to be depressed, and he missed the feeling of loneliness in the endless darkness before.

"I'm so tired, I'm really tired, I really don't want to be here, I really don't want to do anything, I don't want to think about anything anymore, how nice it would be if all this was an ethereal dream, I miss the carefree time of the past, can I relive the dream of the past?" Immediately after, the darkness around him began to erode Xiao Yiyi's soul, his tired consciousness began to become ignorant, and his fragile mind seemed to be filled with a little dead air, slowly forming layers of ice crystals.

Xiao Yiyi, who was depressed and avoided, finally slowly entered the depression mode, and everything in the outside world began to become irrelevant to him, and now he just wants to hide in his own little dark room, wandering, crying, and aging, until he survives to the end of the world.

"Xiao Yiyi, my mother really wants to grow up with you, do you want to grow up quickly and show your mother, okay?" The warm words suddenly came from the sky like the Nine Heavens Xuanyin, dispelling the darkness that attacked the body, evaporating the layers of ice crystals on the heart, and the ethereal hope slowly echoed in this darkness.

"Didn't it seem like there was a sound coming from me just now? It felt so warm and familiar. ”

"This voice makes me feel so warm, I must have heard it somewhere before, whose voice is this? By the way, I remember, this is my mother's voice! This is my mother's instruction to me! But my mother, where are you now? Xiaoyi wants to see you, I want you to grow up with me! Mom! Can you not leave? Stay with me? Please!" Xiao Yiyi, who was full of sadness and longing, was constantly pleading, crying, and roaring at this empty darkness.

However, there was no unexpected response in this empty darkness, and poor little Yiyi waited there alone, sadly, and stupidly.

Suddenly, the hope that seemed to be absent in the darkness slowly flew like snowflakes, and they seemed to suddenly have consciousness, slowly converging in front of Xiao Yiyi. Looking at the gathered figures, Xiao Yiyi's heart seemed to be burning with some warmth, and he thought, "Who is that? Gradually, the mother's loving face began to emerge slowly, and then became clearer and clearer. Looking at this face as warm as the sun, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

In this way, the mother's previous words slowly echoed word by word in Xiao Yiyi's mind. Facing the death of his mother, Xiao Yiyi thought sadly: "That is the first relative I have seen in this world, the source of my life in this world, and the person who conceived my dearest." And I, on the other hand, could only watch her leave me, and I could only watch and do nothing. ”

"Why! Why is this happening? Thief God, how can you treat me like this, what kind of rebellious thing have I done, and you actually treat me and my mother like this! Thief God! If you want my life, take it as you like, why do you want me to throw me into this world! Why do you want me to go through life and death again! Do you feel very happy? Why am I so weak, why can I only face death with my eyes open, why can I do nothing! Why can't I do anything! Why! Why!" Anger, unwillingness, and unwillingness overflowed in Xiao Yiyi's chest, but they could only turn into that desolate cry and struggle between heaven and earth.

"I want to become stronger! I want to become stronger! My life will be up to me in the future, and my family will be guarded by me!" A lifetime of faith began to gather, and the seeds of hope were slowly germinating in it. Unconsciously, on the immature back, the pattern of the seven-pointed star flashed with golden light.

Slowly, Xiao Yiyi opened his tired and heavy eyes again, but a huge and terrifying head appeared in front of him, put away his little heart that was suddenly a little frightened, and looked at him in a daze, an old man who looked like a general was hunched over, poked his head out, and looked at him in a daze. The short hair on the old man's scalp had somehow turned white, and it seemed that a thin layer of gray and gravel was still covered with it, and the deep ditch in the corner of his eye had an unconcealed joy, exhaustion, and sadness. The old scar on the right side of his face seems to tell the cruelty of war, a pair of powerful palms rubbed on his chest, seeing the baby boy wake up, he was so happy that he put it around without purpose, he bent over, looked at the crying little one, the tinkling armor on his body still exuded the smell of wind and dust, and some pungent smell of blood mixed with it, which was extraordinarily heavy.

"My grandson has finally woken up! You guys go outside the door for me to call the bride in, my grandson is fine, why did she suddenly cry so loudly, call her to come and see! By the way, my grandson must have not eaten for so long, he must be hungry, go and call the bride soon!" Seeing that Xiao Yiyi was crying, he hurriedly ordered the people around him.

"Yes, old lady. A servant outside the door said.

"Old lady, isn't that my grandfather?" Xiao Yiyi thought as he listened to his subordinates' words.

"Old lady, I think you better take off your armor first, you see you dressed like this, the little master may also be scared by you and cry non-stop. The person who looked like the housekeeper behind the grandfather said to the grandfather helplessly. "Yes, Lao Yu, yes, that's what it looks like, look at me, I'm really confused, if her grandmother knows about it and will scold me to death, I'll go and take it off, don't tell the old lady, Lao Yu!" After speaking, he turned around and prepared to change his clothes.

"If that's the case, what if I don't wear armor in front of my grandchildren for the rest of my life!" said Grandpa, muttering as he walked, as he seemed to have made up his mind in a certain determination.

When the housekeeper heard this, he first paused for a moment, and then hurriedly said to his grandfather: "Old lady, what did you just mutter? I heard you right, don't think about it, you can't do such a thing! Don't scare me, this kind of thinking should not be there! If you do this, everyone will lose their backbone, and who will lead the army to fight against the curse army at that time? In case the spell army strikes again, you are old and not there, how can you rely on such a heavy responsibility! If the line of defense we rely on for survival is broken, everyone will suffer a catastrophe! Old lady, you must not move this thought!"

Grandpa listened to the housekeeper's words and said to him loudly: "Okay, Lao Yu, you don't have to tell me this, in fact, I have already thought about it, our Long family has guarded this land for generations, and too many people have died, so how many loyal bones of my Long family are buried under the Dragon Bone Mountain, do you know?"

The housekeeper listened, and Zhengse said: "I know! Of course I know this! The Long family has been loyal for generations, in order to protect our perennial army to lead the army to fight against the curse army, I don't know how many casualties there are during the period, although the curse army has been harassing all year round, but it has never stepped over the dragon bone mountain, this is all your credit, it is the credit of the martyrs of the Long family!"

When Grandpa heard this, he was quite emotional, and said, "Yes, unconsciously, after so many years, we have lived here for a long time, and we have taken root here, and this is our home." But Lao Yu, you are wrong, the current life is not the credit of our Long family, but the credit of those brave and fearless warriors, without their bloody battles, our Long family alone will never be able to defend the Dragon Bone Mountain, and it is absolutely impossible to protect this Pure Land. ”

The housekeeper replied, "Old lady, you are too modest, in our hearts, the Long family is our protective umbrella, and old lady, you are our patron saint." ”

Hearing this, Grandpa's voice became a little hoarse, and he smiled bitterly: "Old Yu, after so many years, even the skeleton of our Long family's umbrella is now about to fall apart, and I, the so-called protector, are also old!"

The housekeeper hurriedly replied: "No, no, no, old lady, you are called Lao Dang Yizhuang, you are the god here, the god of war in the hearts of soldiers!"

Then, the butler pondered for a moment, sighed deeply, and said very bitterly: "Old lady, I don't know if you have thought about it, the Long family has guarded this place for generations, if you suddenly go into seclusion now, then what will happen to the people here! What about the warriors of Dragon Bone Mountain, and who will lead us to fight against the murderous army of spells, do you want them to wait for the little master to grow up?"

Hearing this, the grandfather suddenly roared angrily: "Old Yu, stop me! Don't say any more! I will never let Xiao Yi go to the battlefield one by one! As long as he spends his life peacefully, don't even think about anything else!"

However, the housekeeper had a flat face, and said in a deep voice: "Long Qingyu, don't laugh! You won't forget that the name of the little young master was taken by your son Weimen himself, don't you know what this name means? Do you really want the little young master to spend his life like this? You can't just decide his fate like this." ”

Xiao Yiyi lay there one by one, listening to the conversation between the two, his crying slowly weakened until it disappeared, and he thought to himself: "I don't want to be dull in this life, I want to become stronger! I want to protect my grandfather and my family! Grandpa's mission will be completed by me in the future!"

Grandpa became silent when he heard this, and the two were silent for a moment, and then the housekeeper paused and said to grandpa: "Old lady, I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now and rushed into you!"

"It's not in the way, old Yu, I won't mind our friendship for so many years. Grandpa replied.

The housekeeper continued: "Old lady, in fact, have you ever thought about it, although the little young master is still young, but when he grows up, is he really willing to spend his life like this?

"Okay, Lao Yu, don't say it again, I know what you say, I know everything!" Grandpa's tone was slightly sad.

Grandpa became a little sad, as if he was looking to himself: "Old Yu, do you know, there are too many people in our Lao Long family who have died for this, there are really too many, and now only me and one or two boys are left, I am also old, I just want to guard my grandson for the rest of my life, watch him grow up peacefully, I hope he will be safe and sound in this life, do you know?"

"As for what you just said, don't worry for the time being, although the previous battle was a crushing victory for our army, but it also greatly damaged the living force of the spell, plus the previous war, the spell should not launch a large-scale attack on us for nearly twenty years, I have now sent Li Meng to garrison the Dragon Bone Mountain, he is also a battle-hardened veteran, although he is a little young, but I believe that he will guard it well, as for the future, let's talk about it, if one day we really want all the people of our Long family to bury themselves in the keel, then I will replace my grandson, when the time comes, you must remember to take good care of my good grandson, old Yu." You don't have to say anything more! I've already decided. There was anger and sadness in the words.

Looking at his grandfather's determined appearance in loneliness, Xiao Yiyi's heart seemed to be twisted by a knife, and he said to himself loudly: "No, I won't let grandpa bury himself in the keel, I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger! I must protect my family!" The seeds of hope are beginning to sprout slowly.

"But," the butler tried to dissuade him, but was interrupted by a moving voice outside the door.

"Old lady, Xi Niang has arrived, what do you have to tell Xi Niang?"

Grandpa said flatly: "Oh, it's Xi Niang, come in, my grandson just cried a lot, although he is better now, but I still want to trouble you to help see what's going on." ”

Xi Niang replied, "Yes, old lady." ”

Afterwards, Grandpa didn't say anything more and walked out in silence. Looking at the old man's tall back, it looked thick and lonely, and the originally golden six-pointed star on the cloak looked much darker.

"I see, old lady, don't worry. Facing the grandfather's back, the housekeeper whispered, but it exuded an indescribable smell.

Grandpa just walked on the front foot, and then a Fengyun woman and his subordinates bowed in, looked at Xiao Yiyi's appearance, and said: "Why did the little young master cry so sadly just now, look at the little face is full of tears, you are a big man, you are really, you don't know how to coax, you know that you are standing there stupidly, it's really!" The tone was full of complaints and dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Xiniang, it's me who is wrong, I should have called you over earlier, we two old men can't help it. The butler said with some embarrassment, and walked briskly out of the room.

Xi Niang heard this and said, "Hmph, men really don't understand anything!"

She walked over gently, picked up Xiao Yi one by one with her soft hands, patted him on the back and said, "Little young master, little young master don't cry, little young master is hungry, Xi Niang will give you good food." ”

Seeing Xi Niang's gentle appearance to herself, Xiao Yiyi, who had all the emotions in her heart, slowly calmed down. Maybe it's really hungry, maybe it's because I haven't eaten human milk in my previous life, Xiao Yiyi instinctively got used to this feeling with some curiosity. Xi Niang looked at Xiao Yi's efforts to eat milk and smiled: "Hmm, the little young master is really hungry, too, he hasn't eaten anything since he was born, you see how energetic he eats with his small mouth, the chubby look is really cute, the lord and Mrs. are really blessed, there is such a lovely Lin'er." ”

"Yes, yes! It's all blessed by the lord and the wife, and the little master will definitely grow up well in the future. A maid said.

"Hey, it's just a pity, so many things have happened since birth, the little young master is really a bitter life, I hope the little young master is not extremely Tai Lai, may all the ancestors of the Long family bless and keep the little young master safe in his life." The bride moved her beautiful eyes slightly, looked sideways at the quiet night outside the window, closed her eyes slightly, and prayed to the sky. Then the voice gradually weakened, and he didn't know what to mutter, but he felt a slight coolness appear next to Xiao Yiyi's face.

The other subordinates also prayed for Xiao Yiyi on the side: "Yes, Xi Niang is right, the lord and the lady treated us like relatives before their deaths, and we will definitely take good care of the little master for them, so that the little master will grow up quickly." ”

Soon after, the grandfather changed into a set of regular clothes and came in, "Is my grandson okay?" The majestic voice came out of his body, looking at the appearance of his grandfather changing into his regular clothes, the exposed part of his chest looked strong and hard, and the scar on his chest rolled with the solemn aura of the battlefield.

Retracted his gaze, and Xiao Yiyi, who consciously ate almost the same, also stopped sucking.

"The little young master may have been hungry just now, you see, it's not good to be full now! Xi Niang watched her grandfather come in and said quickly. Looking at Xiao Yiyi's satisfied appearance, the grandfather said, "Yes, then I'm sorry for you, Xi Niang." You and the others should stand aside for a moment, and let me hug my good grandson. ”

"Yes, old lady. The subordinates answered.

Grandpa Kong Wu's powerful hands hugged Xiao Yi one by one, looking at his appearance, a faint joy appeared on his somewhat wrinkled face, and the scar on the right side of his face was not as hideous and terrible as he wished, but it exuded a kind taste. Grandpa said, "My good grandson, let Grandpa come and take a look." ”

Feeling the sincere joy of his loved ones, Xiao Yiyi, who couldn't speak for the time being, could only babble and scream, swaying his limbs indiscriminately to meet the wishes of the old man.

"Haha, my good grandson is really interesting, it seems that Xiao Yiyi is not afraid of your grandfather's appearance, this little hand and foot must be a brave man in the future. That's good!'" Grandpa said happily.

"Of course, I'm sure I'll protect my grandfather in the future, I swear. "The young vow seems to have infinite magic, constantly stimulating the desire of Xiao Yiyi's heart to become stronger.

But when I'm happy, it's always short-lived, and I don't know what grandpa remembered, so he said to Xiao Yiyi quite sadly: "Grandson, do you know? In the future, the male of our Long family will only be left with our grandfather and grandson to depend on each other, grandpa is sorry for you, let you lose your parents early, it's all grandpa's fault, it's all grandpa's fault!"

"My grandson, grandpa is old, and I don't know when the rest of the days will be a head, but grandpa is okay now, he won't let you be bullied, and he will do his best to protect you, grandson, you have to grow up for me, so as to comfort your parents' spirits in heaven, you know?"

"Grandson, your name is Long Xiaoyi, and now you are a single lineage of my old Long family, I can't lose you anymore. Your father gave you this name very early, hoping that your birth could be the beginning of the dawn in this darkness, but I just hope that you will spend this life in peace, and give me a dull life all your life, grandpa is old, and he just wants to guard you. Can you understand what Grandpa said?" Grandpa's face was full of love and sadness.
