Shadow Hills

The terrain of the back mountain is the highest in the entire Shadow Mountain Villa, and it is also the most empty lonely land, the surrounding mountains are steep, the walls are thousands of miles, the surrounding peaks loom in the clouds and mist, and this lonely land is separated by the abyss.

This is the training ground for children and teenagers who are considered qualified, and they are often trained for eight hours a day, which makes them burn out, and several people have tried to escape, but often they can't go far, and they die tragically under the hidden weapons of the mechanism, and the guards will carry their bodies here to serve as a deterrent.

Later, no one dared to run away. At this time, they were under the strict supervision of the black-clothed guards, training day after day, mechanically.

At this moment, a man who was about the age of dancing elephants fell to the ground, and the people around him habitually took a step back, but no one stepped forward to check, but his face was full of indifference, as if this kind of thing was commonplace to fall unconscious at any time. Indeed, if you get used to it, it doesn't matter.

Regardless of the obstacles, Qingyun ran over to check on the fallen person, "What's wrong with you, wake up." ”

But no matter how much he shouted or shaken, he didn't see the man react, and his chest didn't rise or fall in any way, and a young man standing nearby shook his head regretfully, "Another one is dead." ”

Qingyun didn't care about it, kept pressing his chest, and called out eagerly, "Wake up, wake up, if you don't wake up, they will be caught and fed to the wolves, wake up! ”

This person is the first little friend of Qingyun who came here to meet, his name is Hongyun, seven years older than Qingyun, probably because his name has the word 'luck', they have inadvertently become good friends, Qingyun writes well, Hongyun paints well, and they promised to teach each other what they know.

It's just that after running and strength training in the early morning, he fell unconscious, and he will never wake up again, Qingyun doesn't want to give up, and takes some measures in a way to save him. knew that the two strong men in black dragged him away, and Hongyun didn't wake up, Qingyun watched Hongyun being carried down.

Qingyun kept struggling, "He still has to be saved, he really has ...... saved"

The man in black frowned and glared at him fiercely, "What's the trouble?!" The next moment, the man in black respectfully saluted the visitor, "Protector!"

Su Kexin was dressed in black, with a bun on his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Qingyun coldly, "Those who don't use it are the end." ”

Qingyun pursed his lips and stared straight at Su Kexin, and the next moment, he said something that made his companions gasp, "You are so cruel, how many people will do things for you in the future?!

Su Kexin clenched the weapon on his waist, his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze, "Don't think that if your cousin protects you, I can let you mess around and annoy me, I will really kill you." With that, he pulled out his short sword and put it on Qingyun's neck, and the other companions all held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound, only Qingyun looked at Su Kexin fearlessly.

"Why should the Dharma Protector be angry?" Li Shijie frowned solemnly.

Su Kexin glanced sideways slightly, but did not put down the weapon in his hand, "This kid is very stubborn, cousin don't stop me today, I have to teach the little rabbit cub a good lesson." ”

Su Kexin put away the weapon in his hand and instructed the man in black on the side, "Drag it down and take heavy responsibility until he gives in." Saying that, he looked at Qingyun, "I don't believe that I can't convince you!"

Two strong men in black stepped forward to grab Qingyun, and Li Shijie yelled, "Stop!"

A hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in Su Kexin's eyes, "Don't listen to him, drag it down, and beat it until you obey!"

Li Shijie smiled contemptuously, "If my cousin is rash, I'm afraid it will only delay the big thing above!"

"What did you say?!"

"From now on, this child is no longer in charge of your people, but is being raised by the father himself. ”

Although he also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Li Muyang, compared to Su Kexin's ruthlessness, he would rather Qingyun be taught by Li Muyang himself, and then sent to the last place where Qingyun should go unharmed.

"Uncle is back?" Su Ke's eyes were full of doubt.

Li Shijie squinted his eyes slightly, "What do you say?"

At this time, a guard from the Lingye Palace trotted over and said something in Su Kexin's ear, Su Kexin paused slightly after hearing it, and waved his hand to signal the strong man to let go of Qingyun, "Cousin take care of Haosheng, if something goes wrong." Don't say it's above, even our master can't explain it. ”

The birds fluttered their wings and flew overhead, making a dull chirp......

............

Li Shijie led Qingyun and walked on the way to the main hall, preparing to meet Li Muyang. Li Muyang took the housekeeper Li Zhi to Wei'an City a few days ago, and after seeing Zhu Luofeng alone, he did something at the Tianhe Teahouse, and then left Li Zhi to wait for news at any time, and he returned to Shadow Villa.

The first task he had when he came back was to meet Qingyun, and he wanted Qingyun to stay by his side, and after teaching him well, he would send it to Zhu Luofeng, maybe it would bring him some benefits. And these benefits that may arise must not be cheaper than the people of Lingye Palace, even if it is his niece.

So he hurried overnight, and the first thing he did when he arrived in the morning was to have someone bring him over.

The distance from the back mountain to the main hall is long, the terrain is also undulating, the weather is gloomy and seems to be raining, and the greenery on the roadside is also covered with moisture, making the sultry summer even more depressing.

Qingyun looked up and saw that Li Shijie had been calm, and opened his mouth tentatively and said, "Thank you for saving me." ”

Li Shijie looked at Qingyun and looked inexplicable, "You don't have to thank me, I'm just doing things as ordered." Li Shijie sighed in annoyance, and it seemed a little heavy to say this to an eight-year-old child.

"But I can see you're a good person. Qingyun seemed to feel that Li Shijie was different from the others in the villa, and in front of him, he talked a little more, "You saved me twice, and you have always protected me, you will be blessed." ”

Li Shijie used to only feel that Qingyun had a little more aura than other children or teenagers, but now he saw with his own eyes that he was not afraid of Su Kexin's threat to life, and now he heard him say these words seriously, which was indeed beyond his expectations, he always felt that the clarity and tenacity in Qingyun's eyes seemed familiar.

"You kid can talk. Li Shijie said, "However, who taught you these words?"

"My uncle!" Qingyun's eyes flashed, and he was proud and excited.

"Your uncle?" Qingyun's three or two sentences aroused Li Shijie's interest.

Qingyun nodded, and the next moment, his expression suddenly darkened, his eyes were also red, he sniffled, and his voice was a little choked, "But he's no longer here, a long time ago." ”

"Oh, is there something wrong?" As soon as Li Shijie said it, he felt that he shouldn't ask, listening to Qingyun's tone, this uncle must be very close to him, and asking at this time will undoubtedly arouse his sadness, if he delays his training because of this, I am afraid that there will be some trouble.

Qingyun shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, they don't tell me, I only vaguely know that my uncle died in a fire in the inn, and the inn was very lively that night, as if there was a game." And then it caught fire. ”

Li Shijie stopped suddenly, the game, the inn, the fire, right?

Li Shijie looked at Qingyun with burning eyes, "Are you talking about Hengxiang Inn?"

"I don't know what inn it is, I only know that it's at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”

Li Shijie's eyes were a little sore, and the scene in front of him became blurry, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to the occasional passing servants and guards greeting him.

While talking, the two came to the main hall, the place where Qingyun had just entered, the room like a stone room. The main hall is furnished like that of ordinary large households, and there is a basin of ice cubes on the ground next to the wall, which brings a touch of coolness to the sweltering summer heat.
