Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Family Reunion
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the cold courtyard, making it resplendent in gold.
The dilapidated courtyard is still a mess. The corpses on the ground were gone, leaving only mottled blood stains from the sun, mosquitoes buzzing and flying from time to time, and a faint fishy smell remained in the air.
At this moment, a young man lay quietly on the bed, and beside him sat a thin child, staring at him with eyes straight at him, as if expecting him to wake up quickly.
And in the open space not far from him, a man held a small pot and boiled medicinal herbs, making the room smell of medicine.
"Ahem~Ahem"
At this moment, the young man on the bed coughed, then opened his eyes slightly, and saw that he was staring at his child in front of him, and he wanted to speak to him, so he spoke:
"You are?"
"Oh~ benefactor, I'm Li Tianming, and this time you saved me. ”
"Hehe, are you Brother Li's son? It was too dark that night to see clearly......
"Hmm"
The child also nodded vigorously after hearing this, so Xiao He reached out and gently touched his head, smiled, and said:
"Don't call me a benefactor, I won't be used to it, your father saved me twice in life and death, you are my benefactor!
"Okay, brother" Li Tianming smiled, and then nodded.
At this time, Li Tianpei came over with a bowl of steaming medicinal soup, with a smile on his face, and said:
"Brother Xiaohe, you wake up, this is the medicinal soup made from the Gathering Spirit Ginseng I bought from the town, drink it while it's hot, it's good for the injuries on your body. ”
"Well, thank you Brother Li then"
took the medicine bowl, blew a few breaths, drank it directly, burped, and then asked:
"Brother Li, how long have I been lying down this time?"
"You've been asleep for two days this time, hey~ Thank you really this time, without you, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my family Ming'er in my life." You have been so seriously injured for us, I don't know how to repay you!" Li Tianpei said with some guilt.
"That's nothing, these are all things I deserve!Besides, you saved my life twice, this is the third time, I should be grateful to you!" Xiao He replied embarrassedly.
"Haha, let's not talk about more, you can rest first, and when the injury is better, you will go back to my house, this time you must stay longer!
"Yes, definitely!"
Li Tianpei also understood, and he didn't want to say too much, nodded lightly, took back the soup bowl, and turned around to prepare dinner.
Xiao He came back to his senses, felt the chaotic breath in his body, and used his soul power to absorb all the medicinal properties of the Gathering Spirit Ginseng he had just drunk, repair the injuries in his body, and make himself recover as soon as possible.
It took more than an hour to finally stabilize the injuries in my body, and I began to slowly get used to the current pain.
After a short rest, he couldn't help but look at the three Compound Pills in the Na Ring, looking at these pink pills, although he himself wanted to get better quickly, he still hesitated, shook his head, and muttered to himself:
"Although the pill is good, it has begun to produce rejection in the body, and it can only be taken after a while, otherwise you will be dependent if you use too much. Hey~"
Looking at the brown and yellow earth spirit fruit again, there are only two left, but if you don't finish eating it, it is estimated that the earth spirit contained in it will also be lost, and I didn't expect that Na Ring could save items like this.
"Brother Xiaohe, what are you thinking, haha, let's eat first"
Xiao He returned to reality at this time, looking at Li Tianpei with a happy smile on his face, and Li Tianming who was sitting silently beside him, he also smiled, took the rice bowl, and ate it in a big gulp.
Looking at Xiao He's gobbling up, from time to time because of the pain of the wound, he couldn't help but grin his teeth, but he didn't care about it, and then continued to eat meat.
Li Tianpei's father and son, who were on the side, laughed helplessly and said:
"Brother Xiaohe, take your time, don't worry!"
"No, I've been lying down for two days, I'm starving, I need to eat"
"Haha"
"Do~"
After a while, Xiao He gave a long burp directly into the air, and the Li family father and son came back to their senses and found that there were only sporadic meat foam left in the pot, as well as soup!
Immediately panicked, only to know that he was not joking, and immediately rushed to grab food, and the night was spent in laughter and laughter.
In the dead of night, when Li Tianpei's father and son were asleep, Xiao He endured the great pain, slowly walked out of the room, looked at the messy courtyard, and found a relatively clean open space to sit down.
Close your eyes, smell the subtle fishy smell in the air, take a deep breath, and then exhale slowly. Put your hands on the dantian and start meditating on your cultivation.
The aura of heaven and earth began to slowly integrate into his body, moisturizing every inch of his skin, and there was a small sound on his body, wisps of hot air began to emerge from his wounds, and then the wounds healed little by little.
Four hours later, the sword wounds on his chest and back had all healed by themselves, and a thick scab had formed, tearing it off, and seeing that his skin was completely new, Xiao He also nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
When he got up and wanted to move his muscles and bones, the dull pain from the bones still made him grit his teeth.
So he walked around the courtyard, a little lost in thought, remembering that night of the battle, and he was almost killed. Thinking about it, I actually began to feel sleepy, and I fell asleep outside the house without realizing it.
"Ah~Huh"
The first rays of the morning sun shone directly on his delicate face, and his nose itched, and he sneezed directly.
At this time, Li Tianpei pushed open the door and directly saw him sitting on top of the collapsed wall, his eyes were still in a state of confusion, and he greeted directly:
"Brother Xiaohe, why did you run outside to sleep? ”
"Dad, do you see why Brother He's injuries are gone, he doesn't look like an injured person at all!"
As he spoke, Li Tianming ran over directly and looked him up and down, so that he didn't know how to explain, and he looked embarrassed.
Li Tianpei also stepped forward to hold Tianming, shook his head at him, and said:
"You know that Brother He is a cultivator, so naturally he is not like us mortals, so let's help him in and have a good rest. ”
"Hmm"
Then the three of them returned to the house, and Xiao He was idle, so he wandered around Zhang Daxiong's house, trying to scavenge for something good.
Looking at the two boxes of gold coins in front of him, Xiao He couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't expect Zhang Daxiong to have so much money, he should have robbed a lot of poor families of money and lost his conscience.
Pulling through the drawer, he saw an earthy yellow scroll, which was a mortal-level intermediate swordsmanship called "Earth Flow Strike", which was the move used to fight him that night.
And the contents of the tin box were a little intriguing to him, and when he opened it, it was also a scroll, and the pale cyan lines made people look a little dazzled.
Xiao He stretched out his hand to open it, but he couldn't open it no way, and he also had a bit of a headache, and he tried many methods to open it a little, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart:
"Presumably, it must have been given some kind of secret trick by the person who made it.,Forcibly open it indiscriminately.,It's estimated that it will be destroyed in vain.。 It's better to wait for it to be handed over to the master later, and let his old man decide. ”
He looked at the cyan scroll in his hand, and although he was curious, he still sighed helplessly, so he had to put it back in the box and put it into the ring.
However, Xiao He is also very glad that this should be a relatively high-level swordsmanship, otherwise it would not be so difficult to open. Fortunately, even Zhang Daxiong couldn't open it, otherwise he would use this trick against himself, and it was estimated that the only person who really died that night was himself!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be frightened, shook his head, sometimes he admired that he would make up something in his brain to scare himself, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Coming to his senses, he searched the house again, but unfortunately there was nothing that interested him again, so he had to give up.
During the meal, Li Tianpei and his son watched Xiao He eat deliciously alone, they seemed to have something to say, but they looked like they wanted to say something.
Xiao He also realized it, stopped the dishes and chopsticks, and asked:
"Do you have anything on your mind? If you have something to say, just say it, we are a family!"
Both of them hesitated a little, and then said in unison:
"We want to go home!"
"Haha, hmm"
Looking at the two fathers and sons who had such a tacit understanding, Xiao He couldn't help laughing and nodded directly.
Li Tianpei still felt a little embarrassed, and asked with some concern:
"What is the extent of Brother Xiaohe's injuries, is it easy to move around?"
"Haha, so that's the case, I forgot, you guys have been thinking about family reunions for a long time, and I've delayed it"
Xiao He couldn't help but smile after hearing this, nodded, and continued:
"I'm almost in good shape, just some bone damage, but it's not a big problem to move around, we'll be able to go later"
"Brother Xiaohe, is this really good?" Li Tianming said in a hurry.
Xiao He bent down, patted him lightly on the shoulder, smiled, and said:
"Tianming, it's okay, my brother is a cultivator, he was born outside, this little pain is nothing!"
"Hmm"
Li Tianming nodded, looked very happy, and began to eat.
After a hurried breakfast, the three of them cleaned up a little, and strode out of the dilapidated courtyard.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Li Tianming looked at the big iron cage hanging above his head, and then glanced back at the messy courtyard.
Suddenly, for some reason, there was some bloodshot in his eyes, tears swirled, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart.
Shaking his head, he turned his head and saw Li Tianpei looking at him, smiling all over his face, stretching out his right hand to him, and said:
"Ming'er, you won't come here again in the future, you won't suffer any more pain, Dad will definitely protect you. Let's go home!"
"Uh-huh"
Li Tianming nodded, and also stretched out his hand, and the two of them faced the warmth of the warm sun, and strode forward without looking back.
On the contrary, Xiao He was a little hesitant at this time, seeing that their family was about to be reunited, he was also a little envious, or a little sad.
After a pause, he no longer hesitated, and strode quickly to follow.
Three hours later, they had crossed a hill, and the road seemed to be much denser after a few days of walking, but a dilapidated hut could be seen faintly behind the trees.
In front of that house, there was already a person waiting for them to return, it was He Yuxian.
At this time, she was unkempt, sluggish, sitting on the ground stupidly, the tears she had cried a few days ago were still clearly visible on her face, and she didn't know how she had come over these days!
When Li Tianming saw her haggard and godless appearance, tears burst out of his eyes in an instant, and he shouted loudly:
"Mother, I'm back. ”
Then, he ran straight out.
Li Tianming's eyes were also moist, and he was stunned at the moment, Xiao He patted him on the back and motioned for him to come over.
He smiled, nodded, and ran over.
He Yu heard someone call her first, and it was the voice she thought about day and night, so she immediately stood up and ran wildly all the way, not knowing how many times she fell and climbed.
In the end, the family of three hugged each other tightly and held on for a long time.
Xiao He was alone, and his heart was sour when he looked at it.
