Xiao's father - born in a small town in the northeast, his family background is very ordinary. The education is not high, after graduating from junior high school, he went to the army, and eight years later, his father retired from the army and opened a small supermarket in the town.

Xiao's mother was born in the countryside, and she also liked to read back then, but there was no teaching quality in the countryside at all, so after repeating the college entrance examination and failing again for a year, she was at home farming.

Xiao's father was born in the military, acted in a clean and neat style, was straightforward, handsome, and "did business" in the town. Xiao's mother graduated from high school, she looks good, and she is diligent and clean, so the two naturally fell in love and soon got married.

Although the life after marriage is a little tight, it can be regarded as happy, and the next year, their son Xiao Yi was born, and the two are also first-time fathers and mothers. The method of educating children is very different, the father is a soldier, and he is strict with Xiao Yi without smiling, often scolding and even scolding.

The mother pampered her son, every time the father scolded, the mother was on the side, several times the boy was spanked by the father for being naughty, the mother held the tearful boy in her arms, while rubbing the red and swollen little buttocks, while coaxing him, until he fell asleep in the mother's arms.

Growing up in such a family, Xiao Yi was cheerful and happy throughout his childhood, so his sister's unexpected arrival did not make Xiao Yi feel uncomfortable at all, he regarded his sister Xiao Ping'er, who was six years younger than himself, as a toy, at least throughout elementary school, he was willing to take his sister upstairs and downstairs to run wildly, and he was willing to introduce his cute and sticky sister when guests came to the supermarket at home to buy things, as if showing off the toys that his parents bought for him,

This kind of happiness was not until Xiao Yi went to high school, although the town where his parents were located also had high schools, but Xiao Yi, who had excellent grades, chose to go to a key high school in the district. At the same time, he started his own boarding life, and he can never return to the leisurely days of accompanying his parents and sisters every day.

So Xiao Yi grew up, and gradually felt not only the love of his parents, but also the expectations of his parents.

On the other hand, when he arrived in an unfamiliar environment and felt the superiority from most of the children in the city, Xiao Yat inevitably felt a little inferior.

Gradually, Xiao Yi began to be silent, no longer as cheerful as in junior high school, and no longer loved to make friends, Xiao Yi gave up the fists and feet that he had learned from his father since he was a child, gave up the pursuit of music, and only stubbornly pursued learning, it seemed that this was his mission and the value of his existence.

At the end of three years of high school life, Xiao Yi was successfully admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing, so he was further away from his parents and family. Occasionally, when I go home during the winter and summer vacations, my parents no longer give too much pressure and attention to Xiao Yi's studies, and every time I go home, my parents ask the most about whether my life is good and whether I am tired of studying. I no longer wake up at six o'clock to study or exercise, but wait until I wake up naturally. The same undiminished love is expressed in a completely different way.

Of course, for Xiao Yat, there was no change in his parents during his college years.

After seeing the prosperity of the metropolis and seeing more glamorous scenery, the small town in the countryside seems to have become his long-term memory.

Even in his junior year, he went to the southern school with his classmates for the New Year during the winter vacation, when Xiao Yi was 22 years old and his parents were 50 years old.

Xiao Yi graduated, Xiao Yi chose to stay in Beijing, with a salary of more than 10,000 yuan per month and a 9-to-6 life, which is the envy of many acquaintances in his hometown town and even the district. Xiao Yat once again became the pride of his parents and once again became the idol of his sister.

However, Xiao Yat's life is not happy, it seems that there will always be endless shifts, instant noodles and fast food have become staple foods, and he and his girlfriend have just ended a relationship.

The company has no close friends, only a few classmates who are also developing in Beijing after graduating from university, and can get together occasionally on weekends.

Thinking back to his twenty-seven years of life, yes, Xiao Yi is 27 years old this year, Xiao Yi sat on the high-speed train home, put his computer bag aside, changed to a comfortable position, tears did not dry, and continued to close his eyes and reminisce.

"Parents are old!" Xiao Yat said to himself. As for when I found out that my parents were old, was my mother calling to tell me that my father, who was born in the military, got up early to exercise and flashed his waist?

Was it a time when I saw my father start wearing reading glasses? I just graduated from college that year, and I didn't seem to be the same.

Did you start paying for my sister's college tuition?

When did he think his parents were old, Xiao Yi was still stubbornly thinking, it didn't seem to be a point, but a long change.

One year, I used my notebook to teach my father to surf the Internet and videos, just like when I was a child, my father taught me to write.

One year, in Beijing, I blamed my father for running around and doing the wrong bus. It's like being naughty when I was a child and being scolded by my father.

One year, my mother was deceived of 3,000 yuan to buy a fake necklace, and I was afraid that my mother would be sad, so I took out 3,000 yuan and asked the police to cooperate with me and hand it over to my mother.

"By the way, I know, when I found out that my father was a little afraid of me, when the parents had to ask for their own opinions on the big and small things in the family, when my sister listened to her more than her parents, my parents were really old!"

Xiao Yi opened his eyes, it was already dark, looking at the hazy scenery and quickly retreating, Xiao Yi wiped away his tears, this is the high-speed rail back to his hometown, he should be able to get to the provincial capital tomorrow, just transfer the bus or take a taxi back.

Go home, go home, help your mother transfer to the hospital as soon as possible, ask a specialist to treat the disease, comfort your father, do a lot of things...

Xiao Yi looked at the scenery outside, and only felt that he had forgotten something, what was it?

Xiao Yi pondered, pondered.

Looking at the sky in a trance, the moon seemed to be different from the memory, and the starry sky was equally bright, but it seemed to be slightly different.

Xiao Yat is not a lover of astronomy, but the Big Dipper and the North Star can still be distinguished, only the clear night sky, and there is no North Star in the north.

Xiao Yi's eyes were confused for a while, and then he seemed to remember something, and gradually Xiao Yi's eyes were full of unwillingness, reluctance and nostalgia.

Then Xiao Yat picked up the computer bag in his right hand, and the computer bag turned into a long sword, and in the shocked and frightened eyes of the flight attendants and passengers, Xiao Yat first glanced at the world with nostalgia.

"I'll be back, wait for me!"

The right arm holding the sword swung vigorously. A dazzling light flashed, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

The next moment, Xiao Yi fell into endless darkness, and then his body began to feel it, and a cold breath was gradually withdrawing from his body, and the pain in his waist made Xiao Yi snort.

"The young master is awake!" Qin'er remembered in an excited voice.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes and saw the happy Qin'er for the first time, and then the painting and the bell also came in from outside.

"Young Master, you've been in a coma for two whole days, how do you feel?" Qin'er said.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little cold and a little hungry!" Xiao Yi's voice was a little hoarse.

"There's a hot chicken soup from my sister, young master, I'll feed you!" Qin'er finished helping Xiao Yi to get up and leaning on the pillow behind her.

"What has happened in the past two days?" asked Xiao Yi as he drank the soup.

"Young master, a girl surnamed Tang came to you twice yesterday and during the day today, and I was very anxious when I looked for you today, carrying a burden, but I heard that you left before you woke up. ”

"That's Tang Yanran. Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "It's not good, Hua'er, can your people in Lin Cheng send a message back?"

"No, young master, I haven't heard of a master coming from the direction of Lincheng. The painting said.

"It's careless, it must be the master of Wangyue Sect who has arrived, it is very likely that the cultivation of the person who came is too high, and your person can't follow it, or someone finds out!"

"Hua'er, you go and arrange two reliable people to go out of the city to the south of Qingzhou to chase her, find Tang Yan and then secretly protect her. Then you go to the Qi family again, please come over tomorrow morning,"

"It's the young master. ”

After the painting left, Xiao Yi thought about it repeatedly, but still felt unsafe. So he got up, and with the help of Qin and the bell, he walked to the table and sat down. Pick up a pen and paper and write a letter, and when the ink is dry, put it in an envelope.

"Qin'er, you go and ask to see Lord Huangfu and give this letter to Lord Huangfu. After that, you go to the sword and ask the sword to inform Lin Wan that they have been careful of the Tang family's people in the past two days, and if possible, it is best to leave the mountain city as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, young master, I'll go now!"

After arranging things, Xiao Yicai returned to bed with the help of the bell, and tried to exercise, only to feel a cold pain in his chest and had to give up.

At the same time, in an inn in a small county town dozens of miles north of the mountain city, two people, one big and one small, came in from outside. At this time, Xiao Er was busy greeting guests, and the boss was sorting out the silver tickets he earned in the afternoon.

Almost simultaneously, they heard heavy footsteps coming in from outside, and they looked out the door. Of course, in addition to the two of them, there were other guests who were eating on the first floor at this time.

The originally noisy voice instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at the door together.

Two people came in from outside the door for a long time, the thinner ones were about twenty-six or seventeen years old, their bodies were very thin, their skin was very white, their eyes were rolling, and they held a folding fan in their hands. However, people skip this person because the person next to him makes everyone stunned.

The man was extremely tall, fat, no, strong, I should say. The thin young man next to him was actually tall in the eyes of ordinary people, but standing next to that person was only at the height of his shoulders. The man had strong bronze muscles, and with a large knife half a meter higher than him in his hand, the big knife was not the common appearance of ordinary Jianghu people, but more similar to the saber used on the battlefield. The upper half of the meter is the blade of the knife, as bright as a mirror, and the lower two meters are made of thick metal with a bowl mouth.

After the two entered the room, they found an empty table and sat down, and the tall man used the big knife in his hand a little harder, only to hear a "bang", the handle of the big knife sank into the floor for ten centimeters, and the whole big knife stood still.

"Little Er, give my uncle ten catties of beef, five catties of spirits, and a few more side dishes!" It was the young man who spoke.

"Yes, yes, it's Childe" Xiao Er looked at the big knife standing next to him and stammered in response. "Guest officer, can you put this weapon on the ground, or lean against the window?" Xiao Er said tentatively.

"Okay, you can take it aside!" the tall, sturdy middle-aged man had a loud voice, but he was surprisingly good at talking.

"Thank you, thank you, guest!" Xiao Er was relieved, and quickly nodded in thanks, while taking the two-meter-five big knife with his right hand.

Xiao Er only felt that the big knife seemed to have grown roots, and he blushed instantly, but the big knife just shook a little, Xiao Er hurriedly used both hands, and the big knife was really pulled out, but Xiao Er's center of gravity was not mastered well, and he was quickly smashed to the ground by this weapon.

The ** sound of "oops, oops" sounded, and everyone laughed.

The blade of the big knife also smashed into the table of a guest next to it, smashing the plates and jars of a table, and even the table was coaxed to pieces.

Seeing this, the guests at the table didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly left.

"Hahaha, my uncle's glaive knife, the whole body is made of dark iron, the blade weighs more than two hundred catties, and you, the little two, are less than a hundred catties, so you want to move this treasure knife. ”

"Glaive Knife, but the Tong Qianjin Tong Seniors of the Wangyue Sect have arrived?" asked the white-faced scholar on a nearby table.

"You have knowledge, that's right, my uncle is the daughter of Tong Qianjin, who is known as the 'Iron Wall'!" said the young man, opening his fan.

"It is rumored that the Tong Daxia of Wangyue Sect is extremely talented, and his hard kung fu has long been invulnerable, but I didn't expect to see it here, I don't know which unlucky person has provoked Wangyue Sect!" a guest at a nearby table whispered.

Ignoring others, the boy Qianjin ate meat and drank wine by himself, and Ji Shaoyan next to him

That is, the young people are fanning comfortably, occasionally taking a sip of the liquor in the quilt, and they are very proud.
