"Rest early, old man, I've been in the government for most of my life, what's the use of reading a book all day?"

Outside the door, the rain was pouring and the wind was howling.

Xuancheng is an inconspicuous small city, located in the south of Daze, the rain is quite abundant, these days are into the second half of June, in addition to the rain all day is cloudy, it is difficult to see the sun, even with people are more depressed.

"What do you know? Aren't all those talents often read and read?" The flame of the candle kept shaking, and the old man rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, and slowly got up and pulled up the rolled bamboo curtains, although the window was closed, there was still a slight wind blowing in.

This small wooden house is because he has been working as an errand in the government, and the county magistrate has assigned him a place, although it is a little dilapidated, but it can also be used as shelter from the wind and rain; after living for a long time, the feelings are getting deeper and deeper, and his son died in a foreign land, although he has little savings, he is too lazy to change places.

"Let's sleep, you can't be a showman anyway. The old woman's voice was like a broken candle in the wind, almost extinguished. The old man sighed lightly, closed the half-read scroll, closed the curtain, blew out the candles, changed into the clothes he had slept on, and stumbled into the bed.

"Old woman, you said that we have lived here for most of our lives, do you want to go back to our hometown to see?" Listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, the old man asked softly.

The old woman turned over, "Everyone is old, what is the point of going back? It's the same everywhere......" and fell into a deep sleep.

In the dark night, the old man turned his head back, his eyes open, and some thoughts flashed.

My wife is over 70 years old, and her body has become weaker and weaker in the last year or two, and now she is basically sleeping in bed every day, and her body has been extremely weak......

Thinking of this, the old man's heart couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The rain was still falling, beating on the doors and windows, making an extremely regular sound, and the old man fell into deep thought, and gradually fell asleep with the sound of rain outside the window.

The official road is still cold and dark, and in the middle of the night, few people will pass by here, especially when it rains so heavily, dark clouds cover the last ray of light between heaven and earth, except for the cabin of the elderly couple, there is nothing on the official road.

I don't know how long it took, but the rain was still pouring down, and the sky was the same on the horizon.

A figure walked slowly from a distance, seemingly slowly, and in a short time it had reached the vicinity of the official road.

The white robe, the long black hair that went straight to the back, the delicate face, and the deep eyes were none other than Ye Li who was sent away by Lin Tian's father!

The subtle halo around Ye Li's body was pervasive, blocking the rain, and he walked alone in the vast world, unable to identify the direction.

The dilapidated wooden house in front of him came into his eyes, through the darkness, Ye Li saw the two old people sleeping in the house, he didn't step forward to knock on the door, it was so late, disturbing the two old people's rest, but it was a little rude.

The official road stretched far away, and it was pitch black in front of him, and it was difficult for Rao is Ye to see the distance even if he had enough eyesight.

"It's better to wait for the rainstorm to stop before going up and asking......" Ye Li thought in thought, he slowly walked to the front of the hut, and the almost black dark blue basic runes poured out like a tide, enveloping it in darkness, from a distance, the place where Ye Li was had already merged with the night, and it was extremely difficult to identify.

The night was getting darker.

After about half a pillar of incense, there was a soft sound on a small hill only three miles away from this small wooden house, but in Ye Li's ears, it was tantamount to thunder roaring.

Ye Li got up slowly, his eyebrows frowning slightly, but he still moved and disappeared next to the wooden house.

On the other side of the hill, Ye Li's figure was hidden in the basic runes, like a ghost, and no one could detect it. In Ye Li's sight, a man dressed in a black night walker staggered, trampling on scattered splashes, ignoring the rain rushing in his face, and ran forward frantically.

The man's face was covered with blood, if it was blood, it should have been washed away by the rain at this time, but this bloodstain was a dense and hideous scar, and it was dripping with blood all the time.

Xu was finally unable to support it, and the man's mouthful of blood spurted out, and his pale face became more and more pale, as if all his vitality had been taken away with this mouthful of blood.

A hint of despair crossed the man's eyes. At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly rose from not far behind him, almost overpowering the roaring thunder in the sky, and the man's face instantly turned extremely pale.

Ye Li watched quietly, he wasn't ready to make a move, everything in front of him had nothing to do with him, but if someone saw him, it would really be a big problem.

The man stumbled down the official road, and in the direction of the cabin where the two old men were.

Closer, closer......

The man in black wanted to rush to the official road, but a fiery red figure behind him hit him straight on the back, the man's eyes suddenly dilated, and then he lost his lustre, and his body was like a broken cloth bag, smashing on the black oilcloth supported by the edge of the cabin.

At the same time, a shocking thunderclap exploded.

The rain is even worse!

This noise woke the old man up suddenly, and the old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window suspiciously. Outside the window, towering lightning mixed with earth-shattering thunder roaring from time to time raged between heaven and earth, "Old woman, was there any movement outside just now?"

The old woman did not answer, as if she was asleep, but her voice was softer than usual.

The old man didn't continue to ask, shook his head, and prepared to close his eyes and continue to sleep. After about a stick of incense, the old man gently put on his clothes and got up, and the thunder outside the window seemed to be a little louder, so that he couldn't sleep a little.

Without waking up the old woman beside him, the old man put on cloth shoes, entered the middle hall, lifted the bamboo curtain, and looked out through the gap in the window. The lightning that lit up from time to time became the brightest light of the night, and the earth was reflected in a miserable white.

The old man looked out, but he didn't find anything unusual, and he couldn't see clearly in the distance in the dark place. I couldn't help but shake my head, "Could it be that there is something wrong with my ears?" Thinking about it, the old man wrapped his clothes again, although it was late June, but the long rainy weather had made the temperature here drop a lot.

"Let's sleep, maybe I misheard. The old man muttered, and went back to the side bedroom again, and got under the covers.

The old woman turned over, but she didn't wake up, and her breath was a little weaker.

The night is deep, except for the roar of thunder, between heaven and earth, there is only the sound of rain.

Ye Li appeared next to the wooden house again, he naturally saw the scene just now, the fiery figure was like a fierce bird, but it was only the realm of practicing the skin realm, and his strength was almost worth 30,000 catties. He saw the body of the man in black under the collapsed canopy, shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, he still took it over.

Ye Li looked at the old man in the wooden house, his eyes flashed, he grabbed the body of the man in black with one hand, and walked into the rainy night again.

The next day, perhaps because the rain had been poured down last night, early in the morning, an endless golden light rose in the east, bringing the earth back to light.

But it was a sunny day!

The old man woke up early, but he got up lightly. My wife's health is getting worse and worse, and if I can sleep more, let her sleep more.

He put on his clothes and opened the door of the hut, and a great ray of bright sunlight poured in.

"The weather is good!" the old man narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, because it had just rained, and the restlessness between heaven and earth had been washed away, and the breath was full of fresh air, and the old man couldn't help but take a few more sips.

It is recorded in the book that in the early morning, at the beginning of the day, the essence of the sun can be absorbed, and the longevity can be guaranteed. The old man has been like this for forty or fifty years, and perhaps this is why he is still in good spirits even though he is seventy years old.

"Huh?" the old man opened his eyes, but found that the tarpaulin shed he had put on outside had collapsed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check, "Maybe it was too much rain last night." As he walked, the old man thought.
