Little Sheep Village is a very small village, with no more than a dozen families in the village. The villagers work day and day and rest at sunset.

There is a small family in the north-facing direction of the village with a mulberry tree planted in the yard. Weeds burrowed out of the fence, and a few dog-tail flowers fluttered in the wind. An occasional wildflower in full bloom also attracts a few colorful butterflies to fly, shaking the branches and trembling.

"Brother, wow, there are hares. ”

A short-haired young man opened the wooden gate of the courtyard, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back and a hare in his hand.

"Juan'er, there will be rabbit legs to eat later. The young man scratched the nose of the little girl who was walking towards him with a pampering smile.

"Brother is the best, Juan'er wants to eat rabbit legs......" The little girl seemed to be quite happy when she heard the rabbit legs, and circled around the young man like a little bee. Seeing this, the young man had a happy smile on his face. This young man is none other than Lin Ziyun, who has come to his senses since the last time he fell unconscious from fighting with a fierce beast.

In addition to the daily unremitting diligent practice of "Qi Refining Decision" and the cultivation method given to him by Yu Wenyou, he is also responsible for going to the back mountains to hunt and support his family.

Seeing Lin Ziyun peeling and washing the hare, the little girl stared straight at it. "Juan'er, you're such a gluttonous cat. ”

"Hmph, it's not that my brother's roasted rabbit leg is too delicious. The little girl said dissatisfied.

"Good, good, good...... In a moment, I'll let you eat enough. ”

Lin Ziyun is still very particular about eating, and even Xiao Zijuan's mouth is tricky with him. Take out the freshly brewed flower wine and sprinkle it on the rabbit meat to soak. A faint fragrance of lotus flowers spread, and Lin Ziyun took a deep breath comfortably as he smelled the faint smell of wine. Zijuan also leaned over and sniffed it, and quickly covered her little nose.

"Haha...... You can't drink this wine, Juan'er. Lin Ziyun said with a smile. Juan'er stuck her tongue out at him and took some firewood and put it next to the stove.

Lin Ziyun put some bay leaves in the belly of the rabbit, and spread some rapeseed oil he boiled evenly on the rabbit meat and roasted it on the fire. After a while, the rabbit meat turned golden and a faint aroma wafted out. Lin Ziyun shook his head and sighed, but unfortunately there was no salt and chili, otherwise it would be more delicious. Where has Zijuan ever seen so many tricks for eating, and her little mouth is so greedy that she is about to drool.

Lin Ziyun was also funny when he saw her greedy. Seeing that the rabbit meat was almost roasted, he poured another layer of honey from the mountains and forests. The rabbit meat is roasted in a moment until it is golden brown and has a faint luster.

This kind of ordinary life is easy to satisfy.

After taking a sip of home-brewed lotus wine, a slight spicy taste came from his throat, and he took a bite of rabbit meat. Life is nothing more than that, Lin Ziyun thought so.

But just as a city that is too dazzling is not suitable for looking at the stars, his heart is not suitable for talking about stability. Lin Ziyun watched Zijuan eat rabbit meat with a big mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

The fire on the stove was still a little warm, and suddenly there was an old cough in the room.

"Grandma......" Zi Juan'er hurriedly went into the house to see.

Seeing Zijuan walking away, Lin Ziyun put down the wine jug. Closing his eyes and holding his breath, he felt a wisp of aura that seemed to be active in his dantian, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. After a month of hard training, I finally managed to enter the aura. Although it is far from the level of qi gathering mentioned in the "Qi Refining Decision", even if it is just a wisp now, it proves that he can embark on this path of cultivation.

Even if what awaits him is a thousand difficulties and insurmountable moats, Lin Ziyun has no regrets from the moment he decides to step on, only joy.

"Brother...... Granny She ...... She can't. Lin Ziyun was in a trance, and suddenly heard Zijuan shouting. Startled, he hurried over.

I saw an old man lying on the bed, his face wrinkled, and his anger was like a gossamer. Lin Ziyun shouted a few times, but saw that the old man did not react at all.

"Grandma...... Grandma, don't leave the ......."

Watching the elders who get along day and night pass away, this feeling of not being able to grasp. Lin Ziyun felt as if someone had stolen something from him, but who could catch the time. Seeing Zijuan's heartbreak crying, Lin Ziyun hugged her, just trying her best to make her feel the warmth in this world.

At the last moment, the old man didn't know if he was back to the light. The body that was originally motionless, and the fingers trembled. Lin Ziyun knew that she was going to speak, so she held back her sadness and turned her ears to the past.

It's just that the old man has run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, and he doesn't even have the strength to open his mouth. However, a pair of eyes glowing looked at Lin Ziyun closely.

Lin Ziyun couldn't help but feel heartache when he saw the old man's withered appearance. stepped forward and held the old man's skinny palm tightly, but he didn't feel any temperature, Lin Ziyun's heart was sour.

"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Juan'er. Lin Ziyun will never forget the old man staring at him at the last moment of his life.

There is peace of mind, there is rest, and there is care.

It's gone, it's really gone, and there's no going back. Lin Ziyun doesn't know if there is a reincarnation, if so, who can remember who in the next reincarnation?

"Grandma...... Don't leave the baby...... Grandma ......"

People are sometimes fragile, and the heart can tug at the heartstrings with just a flick.

I don't know when my face was already covered with tears, and the evening breeze blew out the charcoal fire that left a trace of residual warmth. Lin Ziyun couldn't help but think of his parents at home, are they okay? I wonder if they miss him too?

The pathos of being alone in a foreign land as a stranger hits like a tide. Lin Ziyun understood that he could only go against the grain, and since God had let him be reborn. Then you have to cherish everything, desperately protect everything you have, and fight for everything you want. He wants to live well, only in this way can there be a glimmer of possibility to break free.

The mulberry leaves are blown by the breeze, and the flowers splashed by the firelight are bigger than the moon of today. Yes, being alive is the most important thing, being alive.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Go to the national capital. ”

"O national capital, Juan'er heard what the blind uncle at the entrance of the village said. It's the largest place in the world, with big, big houses, and long streets that don't end there, like ...... What is it called Chang'an City. ”

Chang'an, yes. But in this troubled world, where can you ask for a Chang'an?

This trip to Chang'an, there are many difficulties and dangers, but I am afraid that there will be no peace on the road. It's just that if you don't go to the largest city, how can you find a peerless opportunity?

The two of them followed the place where the sun had set, all the way to the west.

Lin Ziyun's cultivation was just beginning, and he was tempered by Yuwen You with various herbs, and a little trek was not a problem for him. It's just that Zijuan is young, and her face is already red after walking for a long time, and beads of sweat cover her forehead. Lin Ziyun saw that she couldn't walk, so he carried her, but he didn't know what the road ahead was, and how could he return.

One day and one night, I don't know how far I went. I saw a wine flag swaggering ahead, and a tavern fell in front of me.

It's a small town that has finally found a place to stay. Zijuan was so excited that Lin Ziyun carefully wiped her sweat stains, took a sip of water, and thought about finding a place to settle down and rest for the night.
