Chapter 17: Penance
At the current mountainside of the hill, two small figures are struggling to climb up.
At this time, they were already drenched in sweat, their little faces were dirty, and they looked embarrassed.
There is still half of the task assigned by Xiao Dalang that has not been completed, this is their second climb, and now they are only halfway up, but they have no strength in their bodies.
Looking at the rocky mountains covered with trees. Wu Heng's heart couldn't help but feel bitter, it's one thing to promise to do it, it's one thing to do it, it's another thing to do it, and it's another thing to do it......
"No matter what, I must do it!" Wu Heng thought in his heart:
Although it is a little bitter, I am not afraid, is it not less bitter from snacking? Why should I cultivate?
For the sake of the mother not to be tortured by that man again, for the mother to no longer suffer and be blamed for herself!
Mother may be even harder and more tired than herself at this time! She has to get up early every morning to work, and at this time she must be sweating like rain......
And she had to be busy every day from morning to dark! year after year!
In the past two days, because she has to cultivate, her mother has to drag her tired body to carry water and chop firewood for the family to cook!
However, she never complained, nor did she frown in front of herself, she always looked at herself so lovingly, always afraid that she would be wronged, and always gave herself the best......
"Mother's ......" Wu Heng muttered, at this moment he really realized how hard and tired his mother was......
Tears rolled down his cheeks...... It was not for himself, but for himself......
Because he wants to turn all his tears into his motivation to move forward!
"Hey, a boy of this age is still crying?
Although this task is a bit difficult, I didn't say anything to a girl younger than you, but you started crying first?
If you're afraid, tell my dad sooner, and I'll let him cut you down a little bit?"
Rong Rong on the side inadvertently saw the tears on Wu Heng's face, and thought that he was scared, so she said with her hands on her waist like a little adult, but how did she know what Wu Heng was thinking at this moment?
Wu Heng smiled and ignored her, but continued to move forward with firm steps.
"Hey, are you having a bad brain, crying and laughing for a while? People are kind enough to help you, but you don't pay attention to it, hmph!
Rong Rong was a little angry when she saw that guy didn't speak, and just wanted to taunt a few more words but found that the guy had already gone away, so she hurriedly closed her mouth to save what little strength she had, and struggled to get up.
She didn't want to lose to that guy like wood in front of her father.
............
Xiao Dalang was sitting on a big rock on the top of the mountain at the moment, closing his eyes and recuperating
Although the scorching sun was shining at this time, and the top of the mountain was under the sun, he was not affected at all, because at this point in his realm, it was already cold and heat, and even the big rock he was sitting on had been isolated from the outside world.
The movement of "rustling" came, Xiao Dalang squinted slightly, and he was a little surprised to find that the person who arrived first was Wu Heng.
This is their second climb, the first time to reach the end is Rong Rong's girl, he also feels reasonable, because Rong Rong has been cultivated by his husband and wife since he was sensible, and many of them have let him take some elixirs, and more importantly, Rong Rong inherited the excellent bloodline of his and his wife's cultivators, which is incomparable to ordinary children.
So in his opinion, it is normal for his daughter to reach the finish line first every time.
But this second time, the one who reached the end first became that kid, which couldn't help but be strange to Xiao Dalang......
He was a little curious, and when Wu Heng turned around and went down the mountain, he opened his eyes and looked him up and down.
"Hey, this kid is a little different, he looked tired just now, how can he become calm and calm at this time?
It's ......interesting to see that his steps are disordered, but they have become much more determined, what is the force that has caused him to change like this?
Xiao Dalang stared at Wu Heng's back, thinking about it with interest, with a hint of unknown smile on his face.
It's just that after a while, there was the sound of "rustling" footsteps again, and Xiao Dalang immediately recovered Gujing Wubo's expression, and his eyes skimmed and found that it was his daughter Rongrong, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Because he found that Rong Rong's appearance was already a little dirty, and he was panting hard at this time.
Xiao Dalang wanted to stop there, but after seeing the stubborn expression on his daughter's little face that had never appeared, he still held back.
"Alas...... What's more, what cultivator hasn't experienced many difficulties on the road of cultivation, and even more so has even paid for his life!
If Rong Rong is allowed to live under the wings of her husband and wife all the time, how will she bear the wind and rain alone in the future? It is not a bad thing to suffer more now......
Thinking of this, Xiao Dalang still closed his eyes ruthlessly and stopped looking at his daughter.
............
I don't know how long it took, when Lie Yue was already hanging in the sky, the sun was the most vicious on the day, and when Xiao Dalang was very anxious, two small figures were supporting each other, trembling and climbing up......
At this moment, their whole bodies were already wet with sweat, and their lips were white. But they still had a faint smile of triumph on their faces......
......
Rong Rong was reluctant to let the person who ignored her support at first, but then she really had no strength and couldn't resist him, so she had to let him go.
The two little people climbed to the end of the line by leaning on each other and supporting each other, but at this time they had reached the limit of prostration......
"Daddy...... Daddy...... Rong Rong...... Did it......" After the weak mosquito and fly said this, Rong Rong couldn't support it anymore and collapsed.
Xiao Dalang rushed over like a gust of wind and hurriedly picked up his unconscious daughter, took out a pill from his sleeve and put it into her mouth, his eyes were full of relief and self-blame......
"Master, the disciple has also done it......" Wu Heng also lost consciousness after speaking hoarsely.
......
"Okay, good, you're all good boys!" Xiao Dalang's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears!
Except for saying goodbye to his master's nurturing grace back then, he never shed tears again, but today it is for the sake of his two children......
......
After quickly cleaning up his mood, Xiao Dalang immediately decided: These two children need to be sent back to rest immediately!
At this time, Xiao Dalang couldn't care so much, and only heard the sound of "swish", and the light blue long sword appeared at some point and stood in the air.
Then there was a flash of light, and the sword was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a moment it stopped.
Xiao Dalang picked one up in one hand, wrapped them tightly in his arms, and stepped on them gently.
The sound of "whirring" breaking through the air came, if Wu Heng hadn't fainted, his eyes would have widened in disbelief at this time, because the mountain rock they had worked so hard to climb once in half an hour, under Xiao Dalang's flying sword, fell from the top of the mountain to the gate of Xiao's courtyard in just an instant......
If anyone pays attention, they will definitely be horrified to find that a pale blue halo appeared on the mountain behind Xiao's house......
Then a strong wind suddenly blew like a ghost in the sky, and even the trees in the mountains and forests were blown back and forth, and then the mysterious blue light fell into the courtyard of the Xiao family......
