The old man held Lin Dongjiu's hand tightly, sighed and said:

"The reason why I don't want my baby to stay in the mountains for the rest of my life is because she doesn't belong here. I hope that one day, if she has the chance to find her parents, whom she has never met, then I will be able to see them when I die. ”

Lin Dongjiu asked curiously, "Did her parents leave any tokens?" If so, the chances may be greater, and I can help her find it. ”

The old man shook his head and said with a bitter face: "When I picked up the baby, she didn't see anything else except for being wrapped in a piece of cotton cloth. ”

"But..."The old man's tone suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice:

"However, this baby's background is not ordinary!"

Lin Dongjiu was stunned, could it be that there was another hidden secret? Then he asked, "Old man, how do you say this?" ”

"Since I can rest assured that I can entrust the baby to you, I can't hide it from you, in fact, the baby was sent to the entrance of the village by a mysterious strange bird!"

The old man said in a deep voice: "Only our village knows about this matter, and I have issued a gag order not to allow anyone to spread it outside. Because this incident is so bizarre and weird, I am afraid that once this matter spreads, it will threaten the baby's life! ”

Lin Dongjiu didn't make a sound to disturb, only listened to the old man continue: "I remember that seven years ago, God didn't open his eyes, and it rained heavily for seven days, and the ravines and ravines became rivers.

On the seventh day, when the rain stopped, it was already dark, but it was the season to go into the mountains to hunt, and every household had already eaten up their food reserves, so they had to go into the mountains to hunt in the dark.

Before I could leave the village with seven or eight men, I only heard the spirit beasts in the depths of the mountain range as if they had exploded, the beast roared to the sky, and the earth kept shaking, as if a beast tide had erupted.

I looked into the mountains in the faint moonlight, and at a glance I saw a huge monster like a demon ape walking in the forest, its body as high as the mountains, its eyes glowing red, brighter than the blood moon in the sky.

And around the demon ape, there are huge monsters like centipedes, long worms, and tigers and wolves, rampaging through the forest, sometimes as if looking for something, sometimes in a mess, not knowing whether they are friends or foes, and seeing them getting closer and closer to our village.

Where have we ever seen such a battle, let alone a monster as tall as a mountain, if these monsters reach our village, they can trample our village with one foot!

The big guys were so frightened that they ran home and the mother-in-law and cubs were ready to die, who would have thought that a flaming red strange bird suddenly came out of the depths of the mountains.

The feathers of this strange bird seemed to ignite a layer of flames, and when its wings fluttered, it was like a rain of fire in the sky, and the whole sky was dyed red by the flames on its body.

When the monsters of the demon ape saw the strange birds suddenly appear, they immediately pounced as if they were crazy and fought with the strange birds. The aftermath of their fight caused a gust of wind, and I had no choice but to hide in the house, only to hear the rumbling of the mountains.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, there was suddenly no movement in the mountains, and I waited for a while and there was no movement, so I planned to quietly go out to see the situation. As soon as I went out, I saw the strange bird standing not far from the entrance of the village.

But the flames on the strange bird's body had been extinguished, and before I could take a closer look, it spread its wings and flew away.

After the strange bird flew away, the village fell into a deathly silence, and suddenly I heard a baby's cry coming from the entrance of the village, which was unusually harsh in the village where there was no movement at all.

I boldly walked to the entrance of the village, and found a baby wrapped in cotton cloth crying, and I saw that the baby was pitiful, so I took her home, and has been supporting her until now. ”

Lin Dongjiu was fascinated when he heard it, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect the little girl's life experience to be so bizarre, when I go back to the sect and ask the master if he knows about this incident that happened seven years ago, maybe I can gain something."

At this moment, the door was opened, and the man who came was the man who had just been called by the old man, and as soon as he entered the door, he said:

"Village Chief, the Immortal Master has brought his disciples to collect grain!"

"Quick, go and greet you!"

The old man put on his clothes and hurried out the door.

Lin Dongjiu also followed, and from a distance, Elder Xia Rong took He Qing and his party into the village with the pack horse beast.

He Qing's eyes were sharp, and he saw Lin Dongjiu mixed in the crowd from a distance, his eyes were round, his face was incredulous, and he hurriedly shouted:

"Big brother! You... Why are you here! Yesterday you and your brother suddenly disappeared, and we have been looking for you for a day... Hey, what about your brother? ”

Lin Dongjiu greeted him, first saluted Elder Xia Rong, and then briefly said that they were raided by the Demon Temple and then escaped.

But he revised part of his experience, especially about Chen Yi.

After all, Chen Yi's defection had too much impact, so it was naturally impossible to say it in front of so many people, so it could only be said that Chen Yi was dead, or he died to save him.

To put it nicely, Chen Yi was killed by the Demon Temple during the mission of the sect and unfortunately died.

Elder Xia Rong believed it to be true, and also comforted Lin Dongjiu a few words, saying that he wanted to report this matter to the sect, and to fight for some more credit for Lin Dongjiu.

Next, the disciples began to load the grain prepared in the village, and the grain was finished in less than half an hour.

After finishing the work, Elder Xia Rong asked the disciples to rest in the village for half an hour before returning to the sect immediately.

The people in the village were enthusiastic and had to prepare a feast to entertain them, but they were rejected by Elder Xia Rong, on the grounds that the mission had passed the deadline and they could not stay longer.

Taking advantage of the break, Lin Dongjiu accompanied the little girl to play a game, and saw that the little girl was a little tired from playing, so he took her home.

Don't look at the matter of bringing the little girl back to the sect as the old man's request, but Lin Dongjiu still has to ask the little girl's opinion, in case the little girl is unwilling, she can't force it.

Lin Dongjiu asked the little girl in front of the old man:

"Rourou, do you want to be an immortal like my brother?"

Little stars popped up in the little girl's eyes, and she said sweetly:

"Rourou also wants to be an immortal, so that she can fly in the air with her big brother."

Lin Dongjiu looked at the innocent little girl, couldn't help but rub her head, and asked:

"But... If you want to become an immortal, you have to move to where your brother lives, are you still willing? ”

"Yes!"

The little girl nodded without thinking about it, but after a while, her mood suddenly fell, she looked at Lin Dongjiu with big watery eyes, and asked:

"In that case, will you never see your grandfather again?"

Lin Dongjiu smiled: "Of course not!" Although I don't usually see Ah Gong, if you miss Ah Gong, I can accompany you back to the village to see Ah Gong at any time. ”

"Don't!"

The little girl threw herself under the old man's knees, and said with a stubborn little face: "Don't, I don't want to leave Grandpa!" ”

"Why are you ignorant! Brother is giving you a chance, why don't you cherish it! ”

The old man was so angry that he stomped on his crutches, but he could clearly see tears glistening in his eyes.

The little girl was murdered by the old man, and her tears fell down, and she didn't dare to cry, but just shrank under the old man's knees and sobbed.

In fact, Lin Dongjiu had already guessed that this would be the case, the little girl and the old man have been dependent on each other since childhood, and where can the relationship between them be easily parted!

He hurriedly made a round and said:

"Old man, it's a good thing that Rourou wants to accompany you, you don't have to force her anymore. And you don't have to rush this time, when the little girl is willing to come, it's not too late for me to pick her up again. ”

Lin Dongjiu said to the little girl again: "Rourou, don't cry, my brother won't forcibly take you away." And my brother really didn't lie to you, if you want your grandfather, you can come back at any time. ”

The old man sighed, glanced at the little girl quite dotingly, and said, "Alas, to tell you a word from the heart, if you let the baby leave suddenly, the old man, I am very reluctant to do so." That's it, I'll do ideological work for the baby, and I'll send it to her when the baby has figured it out. ”

Lin Dongjiu said yes with a smile, the little girl poked her fingers, lowered her head and came to him, and whispered:

"Big brother... I'm sorry... It's not that I hate you... It's just..."

Lin Dongjiu looked at the little girl's aggrieved appearance, his heart was about to melt, he raised the little girl above his head, and said with a smile:

"Let's go, brother will take you to play!"

...

The team was about to set off to return to the sect, Lin Dongjiu said goodbye to the old man and the little girl, and entered the team.

"Big brother... You'll definitely come back to see me again! ”

Just walked not far, Lin Dongjiu suddenly heard the cry of the little girl at the entrance of the village, and he looked back to see the little girl standing on a stone higher than her, desperately waving goodbye to him.

Her little face was filled with a bright smile, like a freshly blooming daisy, delicate and cute...

...

This time, the team pulled the food, and the speed was slower than when they first came, but there were no more accidents along the way, and they returned to the sect before dark.

When he arrived at the sect, Lin Dongjiu walked to the foot of Xianyun Peak Mountain alone, but he didn't go up, but suddenly stopped, and his face was a little not good-looking.

Lin Dongjiu suddenly thought of a question, he and Chen Yi went out alone, but when they came back, they only came back alone, how can this be explained to the master and Ling'er, can't they also tell them that Chen Yi is dead...

He put his hands behind his back and kept wandering around under the Xianyun Peak, rowing in circles.

Now he is faced with two choices, one is to poke directly at Dangdang to tell the truth to Master and Ling'er, and the other is to treat Chen Yi as if he is dead, anyway, it is impossible for Chen Yi to return to the Xia Sect, but the lie will eventually be exposed.

Tangled...

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was about to rain, when a crisp voice with a hint of resentment suddenly sounded:

"Senior brother, what are you doing here? Why go up the mountain? Oh... I understand, it's my junior brother who dislikes me and doesn't want to see me, so he doesn't enter the house when he arrives at the door! ”
