Chapter 6: The Soul Broken Mountains
The excited roar of the beasts, the piercing and long cries of the birds, the sound of the flowing of the river, and the tumbling of the leaves of the trees are written in the invisible sound of slaughter in this mountain range.
Hu Po took Qin Zhongyu to move slowly on the treetops on this side of the river, sensing where there were people,
Among them, there are people who have encountered a pig-shaped demon beast about a foot high, a group of people who have a murderous aura against the two of them, and people who are chased by the blue-faced fanged monster and shout "help", as well as cultivators who fight each other, and demon beasts who fight each other...
But Hu Podu just took Qin Zhongyu and left.
For several hours, the two had searched for many places, but they found nothing, and seeing the child's resolute and undisappointed eyes, they had to take him to continue looking.
A few hours later, next to a stone wall more than a few zhang high in front of him, leaning on a man covered in blood, Hu Po took a few looks, thinking that it was just an injured cultivator, and he was about to leave.
"Huh... This person has no mana fluctuations, he is a mortal, child, go, there is a person over there, let's go over and have a look, maybe it is your father. Hu Po comforted Qin Zhongyu and said.
After hearing this, Qin Zhongyu's face was full of excitement, as if he had found his father, and he replied happily:
"Thank you, uncle, thank you. ”
The two of them fell next to the man covered in blood, and suddenly saw Qin Zhongyu come forward and hug the man and shouted:
"Uncle Li... Uncle Li... WAKE UP ... Wake up... ”
After a while, the eyes wrapped in blood cocoons struggled to reveal a gap, looked at the person in front of him with difficulty, moved his fingers slightly, and squeezed out a sentence with his lips slightly open and trembling:
"Jade. Child.. ”
After speaking, the gap that had just been exposed was closed again, and his lips trembled but he couldn't make any sound.
Qin Zhongyu hurriedly looked at Hu Po and knelt down:
"Uncle, save him, save him... ”
Hu Po looked at him and just replied softly:
"Child, he has all his internal organs, the oil is exhausted, the lamp is dry, no, I can only help you delay him for a while, if you have anything to say, just ask, alas... After speaking, he pointed on Li Xiang's heart to protect the last trace of his heart.
Li Xiang's trembling lips opened slightly, his fingers trembled and pointed to a few things beside him, only to see two longbows and something wrapped in rags, lying there quietly, Li Xiang said to Qin Zhongyu with indistinct words and intermittently:
"Jade. Child.. This.. This is... You.. Father's widow. Relic.. It's next to a cliff. Beside.. Found... Target.. For me ... Toward.. Gou Er and. And Qian'er... Say yes... ”
Before he finished speaking, his slightly trembling fingers were already still, and the gap in the blood cocoon was completely closed, but his mouth remained slightly open in the shape he had just had.
"Uncle... A heart-rending cry startled thousands of small beasts in the forest, but a few crows did not fly away, but landed on the stone wall above Qin Zhongyu's head, "Wow. Wow.. "The screaming is non-stop.
。。。。。。。
"Daddy... A long, high, and miserable cry stirred up what should have been a quiet night in Ping'an Village, attracting the dogs in the village. "The barking is not stopped,
。。。
In Ping'an Village at night, people basically don't go out, it's very quiet, only a few dogs bark occasionally. But tonight it was the dogs barking wildly, and the noisy sound of the crowd was bursting,
The torches of Li Gou's house and Qin Zhongyu's house were bright, illuminating the courtyard inside and outside the house, and there were two large coffins painted with black paint parked in the house.
Soon after, four graves stood side by side on a flat ground not far from the head of the village, and the tombstones were lonely in the direction of Ping'an Village.
After Hu Po sent the bodies of the unconscious Qin Zhongyu and Li Xiang back that day, he was going to leave, but he didn't expect that Zhang Qianqian was a strong person, looking at her husband's corpse, she actually left her son on the spot and killed herself, and Wang Qing looked at the corpses of the two people for a long time without saying a word, and actually died of guilt, leaving only a chubby child who couldn't cry and knelt aside.
Although the cultivators had already seen through the worldly birth, old age, sickness and death, the scene in front of him also moved Hu Po, and he couldn't bear to leave, so he stayed at Qin Zhongyu's house.
After finishing the funeral, Li Gou lived in Qin Zhongyu's house together, looking at Li Gou who was sitting in the room in a daze, Qin Zhongyu walked next to him and sat down, lowered his head and said:
"Brother Dog, I really owe you too much, too much, for the sake of our family, I took Uncle Li and Aunt Li... ”
Li Gou looked at Qin Zhongyu, who was bowing his head, supported his head with his hand, looked at him and said:
"Zhong Yu, you have forgotten that my father and your father are like brothers, I have always been my brother as you, and you are my brother, let me tell you, my father and mother have asked me to worship your mother as my mother before I was alive, you say, how can we not be brothers. Do brothers owe anything to each other?"
When Qin Zhongyu heard this, he felt even more guilty, and said with tears falling and choking:
"Big brother... Eldest brother... ”
Li Gou patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Good brother, you are my brother for the rest of your life! Come, don't cry, did you tell me that he was still alive when I met my father?"
Qin Zhongyu raised his head and looked at Li Gou, and then relayed the words of that day to Li Gou.
After listening to Qin Zhongyu's narration, Li Gou said to himself firmly and silently in his heart, Dad, you go well, you will do everything for Uncle Qin, and your son will take care of Yu'er for the rest of his life. And took Qin Zhongyu's hands and said:
"Father and mother are gone, don't be afraid, let the eldest brother take care of you in the future, we will clean up, the eldest brother will go to the city to work as a coolie, and send you to the school, this is the wish of the uncle before his death, you will be the pride of the two fathers and mothers in the future, and will always be my pride." ”
"No, I won't go to school, it will cost a lot of silver, no matter how hard it is, I will be with my eldest brother, and I will also work as a coolie with my eldest brother. ”
Qin Zhongyu said seriously from the bottom of his heart, but he was also thinking in his heart that I must let my eldest brother live a good life in the future, I owe him too much.
Li Gou looked at Qin Zhongyu, who was thin and serious with a serious face, and said with a smile:
"Okay, big brother, I'll take you with me everywhere, okay. "But in my heart, I was thinking that even if I died, I would send Yu'er to school.
"Well, thank you, big brother!" Qin Zhongyu stuck out his tongue happily.
Hu Po, who was sitting outside the courtyard, listened to the words of these two children, he had been practicing for hundreds of years, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't been cared for by others like these two children cared for each other.
A day later, when he left, he saw that the two children were pitiful, so he wanted to take them back to the sect.
These two children who know how to be polite and value feelings, he looks at them very much, although he doesn't know if they can practice or not, how about cultivation and understanding, but so what, there are not more than two people in the Yuan Wufeng of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
