In the depths of the dense mountain forest, a sturdy black bear with a two-person tall body stood upright, staring at the two men in front of him, one big and one small.

The man leaned over and covered the little boy's mouth with his hand to prevent him from making a sound.

I heard that the best way to encounter a bear in the jungle is to play dead, which is also taught by Orion's father to Hu Man'er.

Although he knew that he shouldn't cry loudly at this time, Hu Man'er couldn't help crying, and his body trembled like chaff.

Because his mouth was covered by his father, Hu Man'er couldn't scream, and could only make a faint whining sound.

Until the bear slowly leaned down and made a forward pounce.

Orion knew that he and his son had not deceived the black bear.

With lightning speed, he picked up Hu Man'er, turned around and ran.

The black bear behind him threw himself into the air, dragging his bloated body and chasing after him at great speed.

"Wow. Hu Man'er cried out loud.

He was really scared, because his father had said that a beast like Xiang Xiong would not attack humans in normal times, but once it did, it would not die.

I don't know if I and my father accidentally stepped into its territory and provoked the blind bear to be angry.

Orion ran a long way until there was no way under his feet and he stepped into the air.

And then straight down the cliff,

Hu Man'er's last memory is the smiling face of his father looking at him, and the hands that pushed him into the deep pool below, followed by being unconscious.

Hu Man'er didn't die, but Orion did.

When Hu Man'er opened his eyes by the pool, there was a ghostly monkey beside him, and his father was lying quietly on the stones on the shore, with bright red under him, and blood stained the pool water on the side.

Hu Man'er crawled towards her father with difficulty, and every inch she got closer, her heart tightened an inch.

"Daddy, wake up, don't you want to be a brute?"

Hu Man'er grabbed his father's big hand, and there was still residual warmth in his hand.

Once upon a time, his father held his hand like this and told him.

"There is no eternal meeting, just a short parting. ”

Hu Man'er, crying loudly.

Until there is no strength, until you fall asleep.

The screen turns again.

The sunlight shone through the palm-sized hole in the wooden window, shining on Hu Man'er's face, and Hu Man'er opened his eyes.

Laiqian squeaked and jumped from the beam of the house into Hu Man'er's arms. Stretched out his hand and grabbed the top of Hu Man'er's head.

Hu Man'er patted Qian's hairy head.

"Let's go to the town in a while, and take the firewood I cut back yesterday to Master Liu's house for some rice. You can't always go to Uncle Su's house to eat and drink. ”

Lai Qian nodded obediently.

Since his father left, Hu Man'er has been living this kind of life of relying on people's relief, and the aunts and uncles in the village are very good to him.

Because my father is a hunter and a craftsman, he has a decent life compared to those farmers who farm all year round, and sometimes he can't sell some game, so he often gives some to the villagers.

Therefore, after the other hunters rescued Hu Man'er, the villagers were willing to take him to their homes to take care of him.

It's just that Hu Man'er is unwilling, one is because he doesn't want to cause trouble to others, and the other is because he doesn't want to be a son to others.

When everyone saw that they couldn't help this child, they didn't mention this time anymore, but they would still send food and drink to Hu Man'er from time to time, so as not to let him starve to death.

Hu Man'er would often go to the forest to pick up some firewood and take it to the town to exchange some copper plates or rice noodles with those big families. Help your neighbors subsidize their families.

At the beginning, the aunts and uncles would tell Hu Man'er that there was no need to be like this, but after a long time, everyone got used to it and acquiesced.

Hu Man'er touched the only two coppers left in his arms.

"If Master Liu collects my firewood and gives me two more, it should be enough to exchange for a bucket of rice. ”

Thinking like this, Hu Man'er got up and pushed open the small door that would creak when the breeze blew.

The scene in front of him became the lingering nightmare in Hu Man'er's heart.

Aunt Wang next door was lying on the low earthen wall of her house, motionless, the blood on her body had dried up, her eyes were staring at the wooden door of Hu Man'er's house, as if she wanted to lie over and tell Hu Man'er to run.

Hu Man'er ran from the head of the village to the end of the village like crazy, and checked door to door.

Every time he goes to a household, he hopes that there will be a survivor in the next household, even if it is a family dog, Hu Man'er will save a glimmer of hope.

Until he walked out of the last house, Hu Man'er burst into tears.

The plum forest outside the village is quite suitable for making a grave, because a warlock came to the village before, saying that the feng shui of that place is good and can prosper the descendants.

Hu Man'er finished digging the last dirt pit and wiped the dust off his face.

"Are there any children and grandchildren who can prosper?"

Despite this, Hu Man'er buried everyone in the village, as well as the earth dogs, in this plum forest, a full 180 grave bags, and the weak Hu Man'er dug for several days, digging until his hands were worn out, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

Hu Man'er kowtowed three times to all the grave bags.

"I, Hu Man'er, swear here, not to take revenge, not to be a man. ”

Hu Man'er quietly looked at herself as a child, as if she was like a bystander, watching everything she had experienced. There seems to be a sharp knife in my heart, cutting one at a time.

Before stepping forward, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the head of the little Hu Man'er, but his hand easily passed through the head of the little Hu Man'er. Nothing can be touched.

Hu Man'er looked down at his hand in a daze.

A dark figure appeared on the ridge of the roof in the distance, looking at the petite but stubborn boy.

Hu Man'er seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head suddenly, but he only saw a back, which looked a little familiar.

Hu Man'er jumped forward, and his feet stepped into the air one after another, and the person had already landed on the roof where the man was standing.

Hu Man'er looked around anxiously, and his body trembled a little.

"Who is he? Where has he gone? Is he a murderer?"

A nameless anger burned from Hu Man'er's heart, and a fierce beast gradually woke up.

By the long river of time, Hu Man'er sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The body trembled like chaff, and the black qi reappeared, covering half of Hu Man'er's body, and the other half was indeed exuding a solemn golden light.

Taoism talks about yin and yang, and Buddha talks about good and evil.

At this time, Hu Man'er is like a half-demon, half-Buddha, yin and yang coexist.

"Boom. ”

There was a tingling sensation, and Hu Man'er, who was in the long river of time, reached out and covered his chest.

The shadow is long gone.

This time, it was Hu Man'er's closest to the truth, Hu Man'er didn't want to give up easily, Hu Man'er gritted his teeth, and stepped out again, wanting to find the black shadow.

"Boom. ”

The pain was even more intense, causing Hu Man'er to fall off the roof.

"It's the damn magic pill again. ”

Hu Man'er stood up and unyieldingly resisted the pain in her body.

But in front of him, everything began to slowly distort, as if it had been pulled away by something.

After a while, Hu Man'er's eyes were dark, and he could no longer see a trace of sight.

A low roar came from Hu Man'er's mouth, like a trapped beast.

Hu Man'er opened his eyes suddenly, and two expressions appeared on his face, one is good and the other is evil.

Shan Kui saw that his own son-in-law, who was fine just now, was once again haunted by this black gas, his expression was painful, and he was anxiously pacing back and forth in front of Hu Man'er.

"Ahh ”

Hu Man'er clenched his hands tightly, and a majestic true qi exploded around Hu Man'er's body, bouncing everyone around him into the air, so that a circular depression appeared on the ground.

Hu Man'er's breath at this time made all the passing ghosts, even black and white impermanence, tremble.

There are even more cowards, who are directly frightened and scattered.

In the depths of the underworld, a bearded man suddenly opened his eyes, the man looked ugly, with a leopard's head and a tiger's forehead, and an iron face and eyes. It's weird, but there is an eagle's sharpness in a pair of copper bell-like eyes.

"Childe. ”

Shan Kui got up and ran in the direction of Hu Man'er.

"Don't come here, stay away from me. ”

This time, Hu Man'er did not lose his mind, Hu Man'er found that relying on the golden light in his body, he could vaguely control the black gas in his body.

Although it can't be used to him yet, at least it can keep him awake.

Hu Man'er staggered to his feet and turned his head to look at Bai Wuchang. The expression on the left side of the face, evil, sinister. The right side is bitter and helpless.

"I'm going to taste it again, it's been a long time. What do you think?"

Bai Wuchang had already been frightened by Hu Man'er.

Sitting on the ground with a buttocks, he waved his hands one after another.

"The immortals can't do it, they can't do it. ”

Hu Man'er didn't care what Bai Wuchang said, stepped into the river, and sank his body.

For a long time, for a long time.

Hu Man'er surfaced and walked ashore slowly.

The black gas was gone, and Hu Man'er's face was pale and he didn't say a word.

After a while, Hu Man'er slowly walked in front of Bai Wuchang.

"Why didn't you see the past this time?"

Bai Wuchang slowly retreated, a little farther away from Hu Man'er.

"The first bite is the past, and the second bite is the future. ”

Hu Man'er grinned. patted Bai Impermanence on the shoulder.

"I don't believe it. ”

Shankui himself grabbed Hu Man'er's arm again and said curiously.

"Childe, second mouthful, what do you see?"

Hu Man'er shook his head, his face even paler.

"I don't believe it. ”
