Chapter 2 Into the Great Wilderness

In a stone house, Zhou Fan's father was lying on the bed in a coma at this time.

The blood-stained coarse cloth shirt had been taken off by Zhou Fan's mother, and what caught her eye were several hideous wounds from her right shoulder to her left abdomen.

Zhou Fan and his mother Muqin were standing on the edge of the bed, looking at the wound on Zhou Qi's body that was still flowing with blood, and his eyes were full of worry, at this time, an old man with white hair, but still full of energy, was sitting next to Zhou Qi, and his right hand was taking out a black sticky substance from an earthen pot and smearing it on the hideous wounds on Zhou Qi's body, and a pungent smell of medicine filled the entire room.

The white-haired old man is the village chief of this Zhoujia Village.

"Grandpa the village chief, is my father okay?" After seeing the old man smearing the wounds on Zhou Qi's body with the black sticky substance, Zhou Fan, who was still trembling a little under the support of his mother Xylophone, asked with a slight cry.

The village chief exhaled slowly, got up and looked at the mother and son, looked at the expectant look in the eyes of Zhou Fan's mother and son, nodded, and said: "It's okay, although the wound on your father's body looks serious, but fortunately it didn't hurt the inward, but he lost too much blood all the way back, so he fell into a coma, fortunately, he is strong and strong, and he should wake up after two days of rest."

Hearing this, Zhou Fan's mother and son, tears of excitement suddenly appeared in their eyes, and Muqin wanted to kneel down to the village chief and thank him, but was stopped by the village chief in time.

"Okay, I'll go back first, and come back to me if I have something!" After saying that, the village chief walked out.

Seeing this, Zhou Fan hurriedly leaned on crutches and followed behind him with vain steps, wanting to send him out.

Seeing this, the village chief originally wanted to stop it, but after seeing Zhou Fan's firm eyes, he agreed, and immediately, Zhou Fan's mother stayed by his father's side to take care of it, and he followed the village chief and sent him out of his yard.

"Grandpa the village chief, you go slowly!" Zhou Fan stood at the door of the small courtyard and said to the village chief.

The village chief smiled and nodded, as if he remembered something, he frowned, and called out to Zhou Fan, who was about to turn around and go back to the house.

"Xiao Fan!"

Hearing the village chief suddenly shouting to himself, Zhou Fan looked up at the person in front of him, a puzzled look flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked, "Is there anything else?" Grandpa the village chief! ”

The village chief raised his eyes and looked at the stone house of Zhou Fan's house, as if he was sure of something, and then beckoned Zhou Fan to go outside the courtyard and said.

Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, there was something that he couldn't say directly, but out of respect for the village chief, Zhou Fan still walked out with crutches and difficult steps.

Zhou Fan walked to the village chief, raised his head, and looked at the old man in front of him with sunken but bright eyes, and the village chief glanced at the situation in the small courtyard again, and saw that Zhou Fan's mother had no signs of coming out, so he leaned down slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiaofan, grandpa is going to tell you something today, in fact, the village chief grandpa lied to your parents, there is actually no immortal hall in the wilderness, that is when I saw your parents because of your mental disorder, I was afraid that something would happen to them, so in order to relieve their hearts, I told a lie!"

"Boom!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt ringing in Zhou Fan's ears, making his head buzz.

"There is no immortal hall in the great wilderness, there is no immortal hall......"

Zhou Fan kept repeating these words in his mouth.

Seeing this, the village chief was also guilty in his heart, he just wanted to give Zhou Fan's parents a little hope, originally thought that Zhou Qi was looking for a period of time in the wilderness, and if he couldn't find it, he would let it go, who would have thought that Zhou Qi's search would be eleven years, and Zhou Fan also drank the blood of the beast for eleven years in order to continue his life, just to persevere, seek the elixir, and cure Zhou Fan's strange disease.

In the past eleven years, how much the family of three has suffered, the village chief feels guilty every time he thinks about it.

Originally, he didn't plan to say it, after all, he had persisted for so many years, although it was hard, but at least Zhou Fan was still alive, but this time Zhou Qi's injury made him feel that he should say it, otherwise if Zhou Qi died in the Great Wilderness next time, then he would never be able to forgive himself.

"Little Fan ......"

"Grandpa the village chief!"

As soon as the village chief spoke, he was interrupted by Zhou Fan, and immediately heard the latter say: "Grandpa the village chief, thank you for telling me the truth, I don't blame you for lying to us for so many years, but I want to ask you not to tell my parents about this."

"Why?" The village chief asked puzzled.

"I want to tell them personally!" Zhou Fan lowered his head and said, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Okay!" The village chief pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go back first, goodbye to the village chief and grandpa!" Immediately, Zhou Fan smiled at the village chief, and then slowly returned to his house.

After the village chief saw Zhou Fan enter the house, he stood in place for a long time, and finally turned to leave, leaving only a heavy sigh.

……

The night was deep, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and in the depths of the great wilderness, the beasts roared, shaking the mountains and rivers, the trees trembled, and the leaves fell.

Between the mountains, fierce beasts are rampant, fierce beasts are infested, and all kinds of terrible sounds rise and fall in the darkness in the depths of the great wilderness, as if they want to tear the heavens and the earth.

"Hoo ......"

A gust of wind blew, a black cloud, obscuring the starlight in the night sky, and then a fierce cry came from the sky, it actually came from the black cloud, and under closer inspection, it was actually a huge giant bird, with its wings spread out, covering the sky.

It flew from beyond the Great Wilderness, its two eyes were like two big red lanterns, and its ferocious aura was monstrous, and finally flew into the deepest part of the Great Wilderness.

At this time, in Zhoujia Village, it seemed very quiet, in the stone house, Zhou Fan had not slept, he slowly got up from the bed covered with the soft fur of the beast, and walked lightly to the next room, looking at his mother who was asleep on the side of the bed, and his father who was still in a coma and did not wake up, Zhou Fan laughed silently.

took out a piece of animal skin from his arms, only to see that the animal skin was full of crooked words, Zhou Fan carefully placed it at the door of his parents' room, looked up at his parents deeply, and then turned around and walked out with resolute eyes.

The petite and thin body, with a gasp, left this quiet little village and headed in the direction of the Great Wilderness.

Early in the morning, when Zhou Fan's mother woke up, she didn't see the animal skin left by the former at the door of the room for the first time, and took a look at Zhou Fan's room and found that it was not there, and thought that he went to see the people in the village to exercise again, so she habitually cooked breakfast and filled a bowl of animal blood, waiting for Zhou Fan to come back and drink.

But when the morning exercise was over and everyone else in the village went home, Zhou Fan still didn't come back, she felt very strange, so she went out to look for it, but she didn't find Zhou Fan's shadow at all.

Xylophone was anxious, shouting Zhou Fan's name loudly in the village, and after the people in the village knew about it, they also helped to find it, but they searched the whole village and didn't find it, at this time someone said: "Xiaofan's child won't enter the great wilderness, right?"

Hearing this, the xylophone was even more anxious.

In vain, a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old ran out of Zhou Fan's house in a hurry with a roll of animal skins in his hand and handed it to the xylophone.

Xylophone took the animal skin, still puzzled, and suddenly saw the words on the animal skin, and hurriedly opened it to read.

"Daddy, I'm sorry, I don't want my father to be injured because of me anymore, so I'm going to enter the wilderness by myself, looking for the fairy hall that the village chief's grandfather said, and I'll come back when I'm cured, if I die in the wilderness, don't be sad, maybe my life should be like this, and finally I want to say that if I really die, I hope I can still be your son in the next life......"

Looking at the crooked words on the animal skin in his hand, Xylophone couldn't help crying loudly anymore.

The villagers on the side also let out a sigh, not knowing how to comfort them.

At this moment, a slightly weak voice came into everyone's ears.

"What's going on......"
