Chapter 5: Darkness Surges

After Mu Chen's family left, they trekked for a few days and came to Mu Hualin's small residence, which was far away from Mu's house, and the brother and sister went out early the next morning after arriving home.

Due to the relatively far location, not many people have heard about Mu Chen.

In addition, the Mu family blocked the news, but not many people recognized them.

The brother and sister relied on the private money they had saved to buy some furniture and supplies for the family.

This purchase was consumed in the evening, and a large number of supplies were carried up the mountain by the seller's mongrel dragon horse.

It is said that Mu Chen and Ziru followed behind Ryoma, and from a distance, they saw an emaciated figure standing under the eaves, this was Mu Chen's mother Li Xiumin.

At this moment, her face was full of sorrow and worry, and her already wrinkled skin seemed to have a little more vicissitudes of life under the reflection of the sunset.

The two couldn't help but quicken their pace.

"Mom. We're back, what are you doing outside! ”

Ziru spoke first to explain the reason why they came back so late,

After Mu Chen greeted his mother, he walked straight into his father's house.

At this time, Li Xiumin looked at Ziru with concern. Urging;

"Next time you come back, remember to be early!"

"Uh-huh."

Ziru smiled sweetly and agreed.

Knowing the reason, Li Xiumin's worried expression gradually eased a lot.

She looked at the girl in front of her from top to bottom like gurgling water, gentle and kind.

"Hey! You two, I don't want you to make much money, as long as you are safe. ”

After speaking, her eyes seemed to be quickly clouded with a layer of haze, and she turned her head and looked at the hidden wooden door intently.

"Your father was a little out of shape this afternoon, I asked him and he said he couldn't see. I found Li Taibai, the most powerful doctor around Mu, but he couldn't do anything........"

As she spoke, the woman's voice gradually choked a little, and at last she squatted down without crying, crossed her arms, and buried her head in her chest.

The scattered white floc on Li Xiumin's head swayed left and right with the evening breeze flowing through the mountains and forests on the side, flying up and down, there was an endless loneliness and desolation.

At this time, a pair of warm little hands hugged her waist from behind.

She was stunned, and felt a warmth coming from the thin cold back as if there was a cheek-sized place.

"Mom, don't worry, there will always be a way for things! Believe in us. “

Li Xiumin's lips trembled, turned around and hugged Ziru into his arms, looked at the crescent moon hanging high at some point, and shook his head.

Back to Mu Chen, he had already walked into the house at this time, but he rarely showed a look of horror, his eyes widened, and he looked ahead motionlessly.

In front of me, on a wooden bed in the east corner, there was a thin man, his eyes dark and faint and bottomless, like two breathtaking black holes, which couldn't help but make people feel creepy.

That's right, this is his father-Mu Hualin.

At the moment, his situation is really worrying. The big living people who were fine yesterday are now lifeless like dead ashes.

Mu Chen looked at his father in front of him, his heart was like a knife, his tone trembled, and he asked eagerly;

"Dad, you're ........."

The man on the bed didn't say a word, and after Mu Chen finished speaking, the room was as cold as a dead tomb.

After a short period of suppression, a howling sound like a flood exploded in Mu Chen's ears.

"Ahh Mu Tianquan, you despicable villain. Mu Hualin sat up with difficulty, his voice hoarse, with a desperate hatred.

"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you, how can this be, kid, I'm here, you ......"

At this moment, Mu Chen was already incoherent, and he was frightened by his father's scene. The hidden door was also slammed open by two women.

"Hua Lin, what's wrong, don't scare us!"

The two women had already appeared in the house at this time, and their confused eyes roamed back and forth on Mu Chen and Mu Hualin's faces, intending to see the clues.

At this time, Mu Hualin, just overnight, with a colorless face, instantly aged dozens of years. should have been in the prime of life, but now, he is as miserable as a gray old man.

"It's over, it's all over. Mu Tianquan, a sinister villain, was fighting against the Pupil Devouring Beast with me, and he took advantage of my inattention to secretly frame me with the Pupil Destroying God Destroyer Needle. ”

Mu Hualin's breath was faint and his tone was not high, but these accusing words of Mu Tianquan were engraved in Mu Chen's heart like a brand.

Mu Chen gritted his teeth secretly, a faint trace of blood floated on his bright red lips, and there was a cold air in his eyes.

"Dad, I swear, I will definitely make Mu Tianquan, the old ghost, pay a terrible price." Mu Chen's eyes widened angrily, his breath was short, and his chest rose and fell.

After Mu Chen calmed down, reality ignored something.

"Where's the antidote? Father, I'm going to go find that slut and ask for it,"

Mu Hualin shook his head.

"It's useless! It was given to him by the people of the imperial city. ”

Mu Chen gritted his teeth and said resolutely with resentment;

"Then I'll go to Zhongzhou to turn the imperial city upside down, I don't believe I can't find an antidote."

Mu Hualin coughed angrily twice, a wrinkled Sichuan shape appeared on his forehead, and his brows were twisted.

"Nonsense!"

Mu Chen didn't want to make his father angry anymore, so he compromised and didn't say more.

Several people took turns to take care of him, and they were also very peaceful, but under this peace, Mu Chen's heart was not peaceful.

Mu Chen already had an idea in his heart, he was going to the Imperial City to find the antidote.

In a depressing atmosphere here, the Mu family's compound is hundreds of miles away.

A white-bearded old man was furious, punching and kicking several Mu Zhuang's little henchmen in front of him. All I heard was the wailing of the voice.

This person is Mu Tianquan, don't look at the white beard on his chin, they are actually quirks.

He is still in his early years, but he has always dreamed of becoming the youngest person at the helm of his family. But the old immortal of Mu Longling has been breathing, plus there are many collateral members in the family, and there are huge councilors composed of various tribes in private, and there are many eyeliners, so he is helpless. can only wait for the old man to choke early, so that he can be rectified.

Although he achieved good results in this expedition, the people in the imperial capital did not give him a good look, and even his face was full of contempt and contempt.

At this moment, he was resentful when he thought that the reward was a pupil extinguishing array, but when he thought of Mu Hualin's miserable appearance, he felt a lot better.

After getting angry on the little guy, Mu Tianquan touched his fake beard, his face was angry.

"My lord, we know it's wrong!"

One of the gray boys, the voice of apology was the smallest. Before the typo was finished, he was slapped far away by Mu Tianquan. Everywhere the wind passed, nearly four or five inches of grooves were rubbed on the white jade slab. And the guy who was beaten was directly unrecognizable, and he no longer looked human.

Leaving a bunch of small followers even worse, they all bowed their heads in fear, and remained motionless as cicadas.

"This is born from the same root, why not be too anxious to fry each other." The old man sighed.

"Zhuang'er! Why bother? Mu Chen is just a genius in physical arts. I can't awaken my eyes now, but I'm just a waste, and I don't have to be afraid. Coupled with the fact that his father has been deposed by me, their combination of bad luck and miscellaneous debris should be left to fend for themselves! ”

The old man muttered to himself, and a sinister smile quickly flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then calmed down.

Suddenly, he turned his head and coldly glanced at the black-pressed people in front of him, impatiently dispersing them. I saw that the garbage stood up tremblingly and ran away like a flock of birds.

The old man shook his head slightly, sighed, and strode towards the place where Mu Zhuang was resting.

The crescent moon is passing and the night is slightly cool.

The breeze floats, and the shadows are sparse and slanted.

In the trees of the compound, there are always strange creatures making intermittent noises. The gentle moonlight inadvertently seemed to clothe the night with a hazy veil. Behind a wing room to the north, under a dark wellhead, there was an eerie glow that wanted to shine through. But it's a pity that it was crushed by a clear spring in the dream of moonlight and tree shadows, and no one noticed its difference.

Looking down at the mouth of the well, the reflection of a room looms under the deep and secluded pool, which is both like a building projected by the sky, and as if it is real.

It was late at night, when everything fell asleep, but in the silence, it seemed that it was impossible to hear the terrible screams coming from the mouth of the well. It makes people palpitate slightly.
