One day half a month later, it was already the time to hold the lamp, Xuan Yuzi took the wandering out of the western slope forest, and at the foot of the southern slope of the Yuyu Mountain, by the Yuyu River, after letting go of the Xiaoyu Mountain, he first returned to the Xuanguan.

Bidding farewell to the Master, he crossed the river in the narrow part of the valley and hurried home with brisk steps.

This time I have been away from home for more than half a year, and I naturally miss my parents and calf very much.

I could see my own small yard from a distance, but it was pitch black, and I couldn't see a single light, let alone smell the smell of cooking smoke.

There was a chuckle in his heart, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

Because the dark night in the mountains was very dangerous, my parents developed the habit of going home before dark, and my father had to carefully inspect several hunting traps set up in front of and behind the house every day. In previous years, many beasts that tried to approach their yards had suffered great losses, and this place was rarely attacked by wild beasts.

I took three steps away and made two steps, and rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and the courtyard was really dark.

Youli resisted the impulse in his heart, and walked around the outer wall lightly, but did not find any abnormalities in the courtyard. Then carefully enter it through a corner of the backyard and over the wall.

Standing still in front of the cowshed, he found that there was nothing inside, and his free heart sank to the bottom.

Came to the back door of the main house in the dark, listened for a while, but saw no movement, and then turned sideways on the edge of the door and gently pushed open the back door.

The heavy wooden door made a "squeak" sound, and the free immediately retreated sharply, and then a crossbow arrow was nailed to the door panel, and the wooden door, driven by the strong impact, slammed into the inner wall with a loud bang.

Wandering away from a backward flip, he took advantage of the situation and hid behind his own wheelbarrow - after all, it was his own yard, and the furnishings and layout were very familiar.

At the same time, he didn't forget to put a breath charm on himself that his master had just given him, and reined in his breath. After a series of movements, his brain has already spun several times quickly, and he quickly made a judgment.

"Look at the direction of the crossbow arrow, it should have come from the apricot tree more than 20 zhang behind the house. ”

Who could it be?

You didn't have time to think for the time being, but pricked up your ears and tried to hear the movement in that direction.

After entering the enlightenment realm, the free five senses and five senses have been greatly strengthened, and the sense of hearing is very sharp. Although the north wind was not small, the wandering in the downwind direction still faintly heard a distant footsteps.

"One blow doesn't work and leaves?"

You Li was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to hold it up at all, but slowly moved his body, took a bow and quiver from the chicken shed behind him, and carried it on his back.

"What's next?"

Thinking about the situation that took a turn for the worse for some reason, he found that he was not sure how many people there were in the attack, and he didn't know the situation in the main house.

He forced himself to calm down, made up his mind, crept to the firewood pile between the main house and the courtyard wall, removed the firewood, skillfully touched the secret door of the cellar hidden underneath, opened it, drilled in, restored the firewood, and closed the door again.

This cellar was used to store some winter food and sundries, and was also transformed into a tunnel by his father You Mingda. Since he was a child, his father told him that if he encountered danger, he could hide in this tunnel like hide and seek.

Wandering around the cellar with all his heart, and finding that there was no sign of movement in the storage underneath, he safely picked up the scythe and torch that had been prepared long ago, removed the pickle jar in the corner, and bent down into the tunnel.

Light the torch with a scythe and wander deep into the narrow tunnel. After walking for a short time, he heard a familiar voice in the open space ahead: "Who is it?"

Youli was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Mother, it's me." ”

Through the light of the fire, he saw his mother Zhang Huang's uneasy face clearly.

The mother and son hugged each other for a long time.

Lin Qin put down the machete in his hand and said with a crying voice: "Good son, my mother almost thought that she would never see you again." ”

You Li Wen Sheng comforted him, and hurriedly asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Your father was captured by the gangsters in the market town! He got into a fight outside to buy me time to hide in the cellar. I pressed against the cellar door, and all I could hear was that he had been taken away by those men. ”

"Who are they?"

Lin Qin tried to recall, and shook his head again and again, "I don't know either." You know, your father and I were originally hunters on the outskirts of the Holy Mountain, at that time, the border army and the Huns in the west were fighting for many years, and your father was afraid of being caught, so he took me and your brother and wanted to flee south into the mountains. Your brother was lost when we were fleeing and encountered a flood of refugees rushing to the Holy Mountain City. ”

"How do you know that people are from the market town?"

Lin Qin said: "Because I heard your father shouting 'Boss Yang', which is the owner of the pharmacy in the market town." ”

He groaned endlessly, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he comforted his mother and said, "Since you know where your father is, you should be relieved first." Now that the situation outside is unknown, let's hide here for the night. Tomorrow I will go up the mountain to find Master. ”

Although Lin Qin was anxious, she also knew that her son was right, so she said, "This can only be done first." After the death of the old dog in the family last year, my father and mother missed the old and kept dragging it and not raising another one, otherwise there would be an early warning - who would have thought that such a bad person would be encountered. ”

While comforting, he took out a few pieces of jerky from his homemade mink coat and handed them to his mother, and the two of them dealt with them with dry cakes.

It was only then that Lin Qin had to look up and down carefully at his son after a long absence.

Seeing the firelight beating on the free face, Lin Qin realized that nearly a year had passed, and his son had changed a lot. Not only did the face fade from the baby fat and become a little angular, but the body began to joint, and the height jumped to five feet, looking at the shoulders are not thick and the waist is not round, but it looks like a snow-spotted leopard that comes and goes like the wind, and has a sense of strength. Even if you don't cultivate, you will definitely be a good hunter in the future.

The more Lin Qin looked at her baby son, the more satisfied she became, and couldn't help but praise: "The good son has grown up, inside and out." It will definitely be stronger than your father in the future. ”

You Li put down the arrow in his hand and smiled at his mother: "It's early, my father is the best hunter in a radius of dozens of miles, and Niu Wa still has a lot of things to learn." ”

The mother and son talked for a while, and let the mother rest first, while she sat down and was responsible for the vigil.

After a few hours, the wandering in cultivation suddenly opened his eyes because his mother had woken up.

"What's going on outside, can I get out?"

You Li shook his head firmly and comforted: "Mother, I think it's better to stay in this tunnel for another day and wait and see." There is water and dry food here, and it is no problem to hide for another half a month. As for Dad, when we get out, we'll go to the town to look for it. ”

In order to eliminate his mother's anxiety, he began to talk about his cultivation experience in the past few months.

Mother Lin Qin listened with relish and sighed: "Since you followed Xuanyu Dao Master to cultivate, it has been a long time since the two of us have sat together and talked for such a long time. You've grown up after all. ”

As soon as he was about to answer, he noticed that there was something abnormal outside, signaled his mother not to make a sound, and then took out two breath charms and pasted them on himself and his mother.

Wandering softly to the back of the cellar door, listening intently to the movement in the backyard.

"Immortal Master Han, are the rest of the family really gone?"

"Are you questioning Uncle Ben?"

"Don't dare!

"Early in the morning, I disturbed Lao Tzu's dreams. It is estimated that people have already run away overnight, and they don't know what the gang of people under you are doing, not a single woman can be caught, look back and see how Young Master Qin cleans you up. ”

"Yes, yes, I was negligent. ”

......

After listening for a while, he saw that the two of them were talking far away, and his heart was not relaxed at all, but he was suspicious.

Looking at the other party's posture, it looks like he will not give up until he reaches his goal. Why did your family fall into this strange crisis in a daze?

My father and mother have lived in this barren mountain and wilderness for more than ten years, and they have always been honest and responsible, why are they being targeted?

Wandering in the cellar, he didn't dare to relax for a moment. It wasn't until it was dark outside that he returned to the tunnel, ate some dry food with his mother, and then told his plan.

Then they rested and didn't say anything all night.

The next morning, just after dawn, he cautiously walked out of the cellar, carefully inspected the neighborhood, and made sure that there was no one else, so he took his mother and left the house quickly.

Crossing the river behind the house, the mother and son went north into the reckless mountains.
