Chapter 4 Departure
Since ancient times, there is good and evil, but good and evil are not mutually exclusive.
Three hundred years ago, Tianzong led all the major sects to fight to the death with the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect was defeated, suffering heavy casualties, and retreated to the southwest wilderness to survive and recover.
That night, the four major families of Qiongyucheng united with Lingyan Pavilion and Wangu Building, and the elite went out to surround Yang Xing's family in Jiashan.
Most of the villagers in Jiashan Village were shocked, and when they heard that they were the ones who came to exterminate the Demon Sect, they were curious and afraid.
The people of the ferocious and tyrannical Demon Sect, how can they ordinary people speculate about their behavior, maybe they will rise up and leave at any time, killing all directions, and the small Jiashan Village will not be able to escape.
Thanks to the various factions in Qiongyu City, it is their duty to defend the right path, protect the common people, and exterminate the evil demons. After a big battle, Yang Xing's family was all ambushed, and Jiashan Village was quiet and peaceful.
Some people also wondered in their hearts, this Yang Xing's family is also very ordinary on weekdays, and there is no overly surprising behavior, it will be a person from the Demon Sect. Later, he was relieved: It is precisely because of this that he can disguise his identity and not arouse suspicion, in order to plot greater actions, the people of the Demon Sect are really insidious and cunning.
The swiftness of this action was only because the various factions had already discussed and deployed in advance, and as soon as the time came, the net would be closed, making it difficult for Yang Xing's family to fly.
The situation of this battle was so tragic that outsiders did not know the details, but there were also casualties among various factions.

Ye Dong thought about it alone in the room, and took out a bag of things from his arms, which was given to him by pomegranates.
I saw a handkerchief with clear lines on the outside, embroidered with a few red pomegranate flowers, bright and vivid, very delicate and elegant, and a pomegranate inside, fiery red, like the pomegranate's smiling face, and like her red dress that swayed in the wind.
"This handkerchief embroidery is good, it's beautiful. Ye Dong looked at the handkerchief, then at the pomegranate, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "How can you tell me to be willing to put my mouth down." ”
He picked up the pomegranate, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully, and for a moment he was a little distracted.
Something fell from his handkerchief, and he looked down.
- That's a leaf.
A specially treated leaf that can be retained for a long time.
Ye Dong picked it up, put it in the palm of his hand, and was about to take a closer look, when footsteps sounded outside, and he hurriedly stuffed everything back into his arms.
It's Ye Qingjian.
She knocked on the door and walked in.
Ye Qingjian's expression changed, he hesitated for a moment, and all kinds of emotions flashed, and said, "Ye Dong, let me tell you something, you can't stay here anymore after tonight, you can leave tomorrow." ”
Ye Dong had a close relationship with the people of the Demon Sect, although he didn't know about it, Ye Qingjian was naturally afraid of getting into trouble.
Ye Dong was stunned, he didn't like to stay here, but when he heard the news, he was still a little surprised, and he was in a complicated mood for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Ye Qingjian stared at him, his eyes slowly softened a little, and said, "You have caused a lot of trouble here, causing a lot of trouble to your uncle and the Chen family. The spearhead in all aspects is aimed at the Chen family, your uncle is under a lot of pressure, it's not that he wants to drive you away, it's just that the situation is forced by the situation and the form, and you have to do it as a last resort. ”
"I understand," Ye Dong was silent for a moment, raised his head, and met Ye Qingjian's gaze, without any dodging, calm and indifferent, "I understand." ”
It's like accepting what he expected, or isn't that what he was looking forward to?
"Go to bed early, tomorrow I will hire a carriage to take you back to Luo Chan, and I will talk to your mother about it." ”
"Hmm. Ye Dong nodded, and when Ye Qingjian went out, he began to pack his luggage, laughing at himself, "It seems that a small place is more suitable for me." ”
After cleaning up, Ye Dong blew out the candle and lay on the bed, looking at the dark roof in a daze.
In the darkness, Ye Dong peeled off the pomegranate that the girl named Pomegranate gave him the pomegranate, and then slowly, one by one, put it in his mouth and chewed it;
Soon, a stream of sweet and cold juice ran down his throat, and the corners of his eyes were a little sour, but there was a clear smile, and although he couldn't see it, he grinned a little.
It's like saying hello to something in the dark.
It was late autumn, and on this somewhat cold night, he closed the window tightly to prevent a trace of moonlight from penetrating the room; He curled himself up in a ball, as if he was going to fight such a cold night on his own with only the heat emanating from his body.
He thought about it a lot, and in the end, he suddenly found that what could give him more warmth, strength and courage was always the pretty face that was smiling like a flower and light and angry.
It turns out that there is really such a person in this world, she treats me better than I treat her.
Early the next morning.
"Ye Dong, you take all this money, you go and hire a carriage to go back to Luochan Village by yourself, I still have things to deal with now, I can't send you away." ”
"Hmm. Ye Dong took the money and nodded, "Okay." ”
The autumn breeze is bleak, the leaves are flying, and there are few people on the streets of Qiongyu City, which seems a little deserted.
Ye Dong carried a burden on his back and walked alone, with fallen leaves rolled up in the wind behind him.
He didn't hire a carriage, but walked aimlessly down the street, walking and walking, and came to the road to Jiashan Academy. They should be reciting loudly in the academy at this moment, will anyone be surprised to find out that I didn't go?
Definitely.
The pomegranate's smiling face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and it was a pity that he didn't say goodbye, but on second thought, it was good.
There was a river on the side of that road, and he had bypassed this river to go to Lingshan in the first place, and Ye Dong unconsciously followed the path at that time.
Over the mountains and mountains, all the way up, gradually to the land of no man. The devil sent him to the mysterious cave again.
It was still foggy, and it seemed to be going to go all year round, but since Ye Dong came here by mistake last time and was bitten by the half-eagle and half-bat monster, he actually became deaf and clear, and his eyes passed through the fog and directly saw the entrance of the cave.
Then he walked there, step by step, as if something was calling to him in the dark, drawing him.
We were about to reach the dark hole.
Suddenly, a behemoth burst out of it, the speed was extremely fast, like a whirlwind, and it was about to collide with Ye Dong.
At this moment, a black shadow quickly flew forward, blocking in front of Ye Dong, a sword swung out, the sword light flashed, and then the sword was returned into the sheath, and after a long time, the behemoth slowly fell.
With a "boom", the dust was flying, and Ye Dong looked at it fixedly, only to see a huge saber-toothed tiger, with two fangs as long as scimitars, exuding a chilling luster.
"Hey, kid, it's okay. The graceful figure turned around and asked coldly.
It was a woman's cold voice.
Ye Dong came back to his senses, looked up at her, and an expressionless, scarred face suddenly appeared in front of him, which frightened him and made him take a few steps back. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a wooden mask, and the scars on it were the scratches of some swords.
Ye Dong exhaled and said, "It's okay, thank you, sister." ”
"Hmph, how do you know I'm my sister, what if I'm an old witch who eats children?" the masked woman snorted coldly.
"Sister, your voice is so young and good, and you saved me just now, how can you be an old witch?" Ye Dong's face was solemn, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he was already extremely handsome, Rao is woman with a strong aura and cold air all over her body also lost her mind for a moment, but soon, she came back to her senses and said: "You are very good at talking. ”
"That's because I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart......"
"Come on," interrupted the masked woman, "how can you little devil be here?"
Ye Dongdao: "It's a long story......
"Hmm!" The masked woman glared at him, "That's a long story short. ”
"Uh, okay. Ye Dong's eyes were suddenly full of sadness, and his tone was very heavy, "Here's how it ......"
At the moment, he said that the matter of his stay in the Lu family and the Chen family was slightly changed, focusing on the hesitation and depression in his heart, highlighting the realistic dilemma of having no way out, not knowing where to go, and who to go to.
After hearing this, the woman looked at him coldly, not knowing whether she believed what he said, or whether she didn't take it to heart at all, so that she was indifferent.
The scene was very awkward for a while.
Only a gust of wind blew, and a few fallen leaves drifted away.
Ye Dong touched his nose, coughed, and said: "Good sister, now I have no way to go, no one to follow, I came to this barren mountain and wild mountain without a head and no brain, and I almost died in the belly of a beast and became a lonely ghost, thanks to my sister, you saved me, I am really grateful." It's better for you to do good things to the end, sister, take in me, a child that my uncle doesn't love and grandma doesn't love, just let me follow you, and let me repay you for saving your life. ”
"That's a nice thing to say, you repay me for saving my life, what can you do, you're just a child?"
"I can make cows and horses for you, sister," Ye Dong said busily, "and I can do more things when I grow up." ”
"Cow and horse?" the masked woman's expression was unclear, but her eyes were shining, "Sounds good." With that, he walked straight to the side.
"Not keeping up yet. ”
Just when Ye Dong thought there was no play, the woman's cold voice came.
"Okay. Ye Dong agreed and followed.
