A small mountain village at dusk, peaceful and warm.

The blue river meanders past the village, like a gentle lover hugging the village. The sparkling waves are her affectionate gaze, and the murmuring sound of water seems to be a sweet murmur. The green hills behind the village stand majestically in the sunset, like a mighty golden armor guard, loyal to the happy life of the villagers year after year.

Between the green mountains and clear waters, a little smoke rises from several courtyards, accompanied by the evening breeze floating in the air. The strong smell of home made the birds who returned late rush to the forest. The villagers, who were busy in the fields, packed up their farm tools and greeted each other and embarked on the road back to the village.

Under the golden willows on the riverside, a beautiful girl sat with her cheeks crossed, looking at the mountains in the distance with ethereal eyes.

"Min'er, are you waiting for your little brother again?"

"Don't worry about that little monster, come back with us! It's too cold outside!"

"Yes, that kid, it's going to be fine!

"It's not teeth, it's poisonous!haha!"

The girl did not speak, but responded to the villagers' concerns with a smile. She wasn't worried that something would happen to her little brother. It's just that when longing becomes a habit, waiting becomes a kind of happiness. His steps, his taste, his laughter, would delight her heart.

On the mountain road, looking at the smoke rising from the village in the village, Zhu Yunzhao frowned.

"I'm late, and it looks like I don't have anything to eat tonight. Blame you boy, you're in charge of dinner!" he grumbled.

"Good. Behind him, a young man covered in blood silently replied.

This father must be filial piety. There were still two bags of salt in the kitchen, and he thought to himself when he went back to stir-frying.

"Forget it, Xiaomin's girl will definitely send you a love dinner, so I'll just order what she gave you. You can figure out how to solve it yourself!" Zhu Yunzhao felt the resentment behind him and smiled.

"Daddy, I want to ask you a question. Is Zhu Xiaoqi your biological son, or did you give it to you with phone bills?" the young man sighed leisurely.

How many lifetimes of blessing has he cultivated to be such a superb father? He can gnaw wild fruits on the trees with relish, and watch his son run all over the mountains and fields chased by leopards in heat. He could hum a mountain song with his bare hands, and let a child who was only 14 years old and covered in injuries walk more than ten miles of mountain roads with 200 catties of prey on his back. Now, he is so shameless that he even robs his son's dinner......

"Xiao Qi, I'm a disabled person, is it easy to pull you apart? You actually hurt my heart by saying such things......" Zhu Yunzhao raised his one arm and said with a sad expression.

Over the years, he has not only become accustomed to the fresh words that suddenly popped out of his son's mouth, but he was even affected a little abnormally......

"It's useless to talk less. Zhu Xiaoqi glanced at him with disdain, "You can have dinner, but I want a leopard skin!"

The skin of this cheetah can be used to make a vest and short skirt for Xiaomin, and the remaining scraps can also be used to make a bed for her. In this way, she will be able to spend the winter warmly.

"My leopard fur coat, you stinky boy of the opposite sex and inhumanity!" Zhu Yunzhao protested.

"It's all good taught by Daddy. Zhu Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Forget it, this is the prey you got in exchange for your life, and it's up to you to dispose of it. Zhu Yunzhao shrugged.

After descending a hill, Zhu Xiaoqi gently moved the prey on his back to his shoulder, and the sharp pain from the wound on his body made him grin for a while.

"It hurts?" Zhu Yunzhao looked at him expressionlessly, "The pain point is good, so remember the lesson." ”

"Dad, if I really hung up just now, would you frown?" Zhu Xiaoqi asked depressedly.

"If you really die, you are not worthy of being my Zhu Yunzhao's son. What is a leopard, it is to face the enemy's thousands of troops, and your father will still come back alive from the sea of corpses and blood!" Zhu Yunzhao said with a smile.

Zhu Xiaoqi saw that in the misty cooking smoke in the sky, many cows were flying, and his back skin was numb. He couldn't figure out why a hunter in a small mountain village always liked to fantasize about himself as a soldier galloping on the battlefield.

People, it's better to be practical, for example, he always fantasizes about being able to marry Xiaomin as his wife when he grows up, and it seems to be quite reliable at the moment.

"Dad, if you teach me your triangular cat martial arts, I can help you when you enter the mountains. Even if there is a little situation, I won't be as wolf as I am today!" Zhu Xiaoqi has always been worried about his father's refusal to teach him martial arts.

"A little fur, learn to die faster. Although I haven't taught you martial arts all these years, my dad has put a lot of effort into you. You're an extraordinary work of art, the most perfect masterpiece of Daddy's life!" he looked at the kid beside him.

This kid, tempered year after year, has now become a terrible beast. He has the strength of a tiger, the speed of a leopard, the endurance of a horse, the calmness of a snake, the fierceness of a wolf, the cunning of a fox, the gaze of an eagle, and most importantly the thick skin of an elephant......

"Stop, Dad, you might as well comment on my hunting table today!" Zhu Xiaoqi was praised by him for a while, and hurriedly said.

"The worst one. Zhu Yunzhao replied succinctly.

"I just slaughtered a leopard, Daddy!" Zhu Xiaoqi argued.

"Xiao Qi, listen to me. Zhu Yunzhao said, "The law of the jungle, life is the first, and hunting is second. In a dangerous environment, you need to protect yourself first. When you spot a leopard, the wisest thing to do is to climb into a tree and hide until it disappears on its own or ask me for help, rather than provoke it. You're good enough to be able to dodge it, and you can jump out and dance at it. ”

"I miss you! Moreover, a leopard, it's a pity to let it go!" Zhu Xiaoqi said.

"I can't keep watch over you all the time. The law of the jungle is also the law of survival in this world of the jungle, and one day you will have to face it alone. Leopard skin, it is a great temptation for you, because you want to please Xiaomin, but you almost lost your life for a skin. Then how will you face all kinds of deadly temptations and temptations in the world in the future?" Zhu Yun taught step by step.

"Dad, isn't it okay for us to live in a mountain village for the rest of our lives?" Min'er's place is heaven, and Zhu Xiaoqi has no intention of traveling far.

Zhu Yunzhao turned his head to look at the young man beside him and fell into silence.

"Eighteen years later, send him to the land of sighs. The voice echoed in his head again.

"What do you want, Dad?" Zhu Xiaoqi asked when he saw that he was silent.

"I'm thinking...... There is still one thing that deserves praise for your entire table today. When the battle is inevitable, you finally calm down, use the survival skills you have learned over the years and your own potential to the extreme, and pinpoint the weaknesses of your opponent and deliver a fatal blow. Thinking of the situation when Zhu Xiaoqi killed the leopard, Zhu Yunzhao happily praised him.

That kid is ruthless enough! He was stunned and put his knee against the leopard's bloody mouth, and stabbed the leopard's asshole violently in the dog's asshole, and stabbed his whole hand into its body with the momentum of the knife.

Instead of laughing arrogantly like when he was praised on weekdays, Zhu Xiaoqi was wrinkling his nose and sniffing like a dog.

"Dad, there is a smell of blood in the air, it's human blood!" he looked at Zhu Yunzhao and said nervously.

"Throw away the prey and go back to the village!" The smell of blood wafted from the direction of the village, and Zhu Yunzhao's face suddenly changed greatly.

The father and son ran quickly towards the small mountain village.

The closer you get to the village, the stronger the smell of blood becomes. The faint sound of swords, the piercing barking of dogs, and the terrible screams drifted in the wind, and people were terrified to hear them.

The anxious father and son quickly ran into a small forest next to the village, hiding at the edge of the forest to observe the situation in the village.

In the village, a big battle is in full swing. Hundreds of masked men dressed in black were attacking more than a dozen villagers armed with swords, and all kinds of spiritual power bloomed like flowers, devouring blood and life at will. On the ground, dozens of corpses lay on the ground, both villagers and masked people.

"Isn't that Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang? Wow, even Second Master Liu is here! There is also ......" Zhu Xiaoqi was dumbfounded. These villagers, who are usually amiable, have all turned into strong warriors.

"Hey, what are they doing in front of our house?" Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes were sharp, and he found that the location of a group of people fighting fiercely happened to be the door of his house.

Zhu Yunzhao saw that his heart was cold. should have come, but finally came, even if he took Zhu Xiaoqi to hide in the mountains, the strong enemy still found the door. Reaching out and gently covering Zhu Xiaoqi's mouth, he took out a map from his arms and stuffed it into his son's hand.

"Son, now concentrate on jotting down what I said. He whispered in Zhu Xiaoqi's ear.

Zhu Xiaoqi nodded, his eyes full of confusion.

"As soon as Daddy let you go, you leave here and follow the route marked on the map, and travel day and night to the Land of Sighs. When you leave, don't leave a trace, and don't come back!"

Zhu Yunzhao's tone was resolute and painful. Today's farewell, more than ten years of father-son relationship will come to an end, and I am afraid that Yin and Yang will be separated from each other.

Zhu Xiaoqi shook his head violently and struggled, his eyes spewing angry flames. No one is not afraid of death, but if he wants to leave his father and Min'er to escape alone, he will definitely not do it.

"Don't worry, I'll come to you when I rescue Min'er, son!" Zhu Yunzhao smiled. He chose to stay just to save Min'er. Childhood sweethearts are the most beautiful feelings in the world, and he can't let his son's life really start before he leaves an irreparable regret.

Zhu Xiaoqi shook his head and hugged his father's waist with both hands.

It was the first time in more than a decade that he had hugged his father. The emotions hidden deep in the heart gushed out like a volcano, bringing out two lines of male tears.

"Son, I have one more thing to tell you, you have heard me clearly! I am not your father, I am only your adoptive father, one of your fifty adoptive fathers. We are all soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and we are ordered to protect you who were just born, forty-nine people died fighting for you, and I was the only one who escaped with you! So, you must live well and don't let their blood be shed in vain!" Zhu Yunzhao stroked his son's head and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Xiaoqi looked up at him, unable to believe his ears.

"Don't doubt it, Daddy will prove it to you now!" Zhu Yunzhao let go of his hand and pulled out the big sword at his waist.

The spiritual power filled the whole body, and the rusty big sword suddenly lit up with a layer of cyan shimmer, and a strong murderous aura rose suddenly.

The murderous sword is rusty, and only blood can bring it back to its light.

The heart of a warrior, the demeanor is still the same, although tens of millions of people I go to the enemy with a horizontal sword!

Dad stood coldly with his sword, and the demeanor and bearing of a soldier in a hundred battles came spontaneously.

Fathers are the idols in the hearts of children.

At the time of parting, Zhu Yunzhao let his son see a warrior who stood up to the sky, which left a hot imprint in the young child's heart, and also melted into his blood the passion of battle.

"On weekdays, Daddy has taught you countless life-saving skills. Today, Daddy will teach you one last thing! That is, as a man, there are some battles that you have to face. In such a battle, even if you lose your life, you can't lose the courage to show your sword in front of a strong enemy!"
