As soon as the sky was bright, Lei Chi turned over and sat up, quietly put on his clothes and shoes, and his wife on the bed turned over, muttered a few words, and continued to sleep.

Lei Chi walked out of the door and stood in the yard for a while, his eyes swept over the cowshed, the pigsty, the chicken coop, the firewood house and the granary, he loved his home and was willing to pay for it, but he couldn't forget what Mr. Tie once said: there is a more real world outside the state.

It was this sentence that made him wake up from his dreams from time to time, and occasionally when he looked up at the blue sky, he would feel a wave of confusion in his heart, as if there was something outside the sky staring at him. He and his companions once crossed mountains and mountains, sailed across the sea, and returned again and again in vain, the mountains and seas in front of him were endless, and their food was not enough.

In recent years, with the marriage of a wife and children, Lei Chi's heart has gradually stabilized, no longer pursuing those ethereal legends, and devoting all his energy to taking care of his home, but the earthquake a few days ago made his heart restless.

Everyone said that the violent shaking was caused by the earthquake, but no one saw where the crack was, but some people swore that they saw a crack in the sky.

Lei Chi walked out of the courtyard gate and walked along the country dirt road towards the mountain, he knew the area well, and he would not get lost with his eyes closed.

Mr. Tie has been dead for many years, and he can no longer give prophecy and guidance, and the Lei people have been torn apart, all of them are at ease, and they have lost their original ambitions, Lei Chi does not go to them, but to see Father Shen.

Lei Chi didn't want to see Daddy Shen in his heart, because this old man would say some strange things every time he saw him, and he didn't ask if he agreed, so he took his hand and said "Erqiu" one by one, recalling a lot of past events that Lei Chi didn't remember at all.

"Wildwoods. Lei Chi muttered softly, he couldn't think of anything, trying to reminisce would only give him a splitting headache, this was the most important reason why he didn't want to see Daddy Shen, no one wanted to bear this kind of pain.

Father Shen lives in a small courtyard halfway up the mountainside. He didn't say that the eldest man was his son, but the eldest man was easy to talk to, and refused to call him father, but he lived with him.

In addition to planting trees, the big man doesn't know anything, Daddy Shen is old, although he is also a demon slave, he doesn't have much strength, and he can't farm, so he relies on the residents to help. The harvest has never been bad, so the life of the father and son is not too bad.

The small yard was full of saplings, and the big one had gotten up early and was about to plant trees, which was his habit, and he could not change it, and as long as there was still vacant space in the state, he would keep planting. Sometimes, when someone's field is idle for a while after harvesting, he will also plant saplings.

"Hehe, Yelinzhen, hehe. The daughter-in-law ran away. The big man said hello and left with a bundle of saplings and a shovel.

Father Shen also got up early and was sitting on a small bench in the yard with his back to the sun. Feed the chicks with a handful of grains. He was too old, his eyes cloudy, but he could recognize the identity of the person at a glance. "Ah, Erqiu is here, I heard that your eldest daughter-in-law gave birth last month, boys and girls?"

"Boy. "Lei Chi found a broom to clean the yard, he couldn't be idle, and he couldn't stand the dirt.

"Just like your father. Father Shen said with a smile, the past has never faded for him, but it has lasted for a long time, and it can flash in his mind at any time, "Lao Qiu's horse pen is always cleaned up, and your brother Xiaoqiu is also a capable person, and he herds horses alone at the age of eight or nine." Alas, I can't, I was a rich man at that time, and there was no rich man in the state, you may not understand that a rich man is a man who has money and does not have to work......"

The yard was full of saplings, and there was not much space left, Lei Chi quickly finished sweeping, picked a small stool, and sat opposite Daddy Shen, "Why...... My father's name is Lao Qiu, my brother's name is Xiao Qiu, and my name is Er Qiu? ”

"Hehe, there are very few people who have read books in Yelin Town, and children are always sick and calamito after they are born, so they are named indiscriminately to make a living. My family is different, the child has an official name when he is born, the eldest name is given by Mr. Lu from Xiaoerbao, and the second is given by Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin reads a lot and has named several children in the town. You know my second child, his name is Shen Hao, and now he is a Taoist priest in Pangshan......"

As soon as Father Shen talked about his second son Shen Hao, he would talk endlessly, and Lei Chi had no choice but to interrupt him, "Father Shen, tell me about my brother Xiaoqiu." ”

"Ah, Xiaoqiu is a good boy, can endure hardships, and is bold. Haha, I still remember that he rode my family's jujube red horse, ran from the other end of the street to my door, dragged my eldest daughter-in-law and escaped, haha, when we were stranded on the island, we always talked about it, everyone laughed, and even the mood was better. Thanks to his robbery, only a few people in Yelin Town escaped the invasion of the demon seed, including the second child of my family, have you heard of it? Shen Hao has a very high status in Pang Mountain......

"Has my brother really come to Stopper?" Lei Chi had to interrupt Father Shen again.

"That was a few decades ago, Xiaoqiu suddenly appeared, rescued us demon slaves from the crypt, and suddenly disappeared, alas, I thought I could leave the state and see my second child before I died. There is also a group of demon slaves, because the demon seed has not disappeared and has been left in the crypt, and there are not many who come out, they are all poor people, just because they are contaminated with the demon seed......"

"Mu Xingqiu. Lei Chi finally said the name, this is what he heard from other people's mouths, why not, every time he said or thought of these three words, his heart would always fall slightly.

"But life in the state is good. "Daddy Shen especially likes to talk to the people in Yelin Town, and he doesn't care if the other party remembers the past, "Although the outside is vast, there are many things, you have to pay rent to the government for farming, you have to go to the service for raising your son, and you can't ride the horses yourself, so you have to hand them over to the Xuanfu Army of Xiaoerbao...... Alas, then again, the rich man's son is not so bitter, isn't my second child a Taoist priest?"

"Do you think my brother is still in the state, but for some reason he can't show up?"

"Who? Oh, you said Xiaoqiu, that's a child who can do big things, if he falls from the sky one day, I'm not surprised at all, maybe he will bring Shen Hao with him, because they are all Pangshan Taoist priests. I have this one thought in my life, I hope Shen Hao can still call me 'Dad' in person, hehe, but I am also very satisfied now, knowing that Shen Hao is still alive and living well, I have no regrets. With this alone, I will thank your brother Xiaoqiu for the rest of my life, he rescued me from the crypt, I am grateful, but he brought the news of Shen Hao, and he is the great benefactor of my Shen family......"

Lei Chi listened silently and did not interrupt Father Shen again.

The sun is gradually rising, and Daddy Shen's nagging still has no end, nine out of ten sentences are talking about his son Shen Hao, and even fantasizes that Shen Hao has married a wife and had children, and he also has a grandson, and there is more than one......

If it weren't for a rumbling sound from the north, Daddy Shen would have kept talking.

The rumbling continued, but there was no sense of vibration on the ground, and all the neighbors around him ran out and asked loudly on the road, Father Shen was calm, "Taoist priests are all immortals, if Shen Hao is there, he will definitely be able to find out what is going on." ”

Lei Chi stood up, listened attentively, looked at the sky, found nothing unusual, he turned around, and found the big man standing behind him, still carrying a sapling and a shovel on his shoulder, and he didn't know when he came back.

The big man moved his lips with great effort, and actually said a few complete words, "There is an enemy in the north and north, stop the state...... Danger, resist ...... Take up arms and resist. ”

Lei Chi was stunned, and Father Shen also raised his head and looked at his eldest son with cloudy eyes, "What did you say?"

"Hehe, Yelin Town, hehe, my daughter-in-law ran away. ”

Lei Chi reacted, ran out of the Shen family's courtyard, and shouted to the residents on the road: "Assemble, all assemble! This is the call of the Lei tribe, assemble! Bring your weapons and armor, stop dreaming, protect the state of stopping!"

Repeating this to all the residents as he ran, he ran home and saw his wife and children at the door, and looked out in panic.

The rumbling of the north has not stopped.

Lei Chi rushed into the firewood room, found a few black wood weapons and scattered brown wood armor, and threw them to his two sons after going out, "Get ready to fight." ”

Before noon, most of the young men and some women of the state gathered in the open space of the palace.

Once a royal palace, all that remains is a ruined stone block, and it is still the largest open space in the state.

Lei Chi stood on a rock, holding a black wooden spear in his hand, and wearing a few rudimentary armors, he briefly discussed with the Lei tribes, and took up the role of speaker without excuse, he was more convinced than ever that he had some important duty that could not be shirked, because he had an older brother named Mu Xingqiu.

The crowd was black, their eyes were full of panic and confusion, the rumbling of the north was getting louder and louder, and although the ground was not moving, the sky was a little shaky, and it looked even more strange than the earthquake a few days ago.

"Remember, more than thirty years ago, most of us were still slaves and civilians, stranded on the island to work for the Fire Tree King, do you still want to go back to that kind of life?"

Most of the people more than thirty years ago were already old, but a considerable number of demon slaves were in the prime of life, and they immediately shouted "I don't want to" under the leadership of the Lei Ministry.

"Then go fight with me, protect the state of stopping, protect your wife and children, and protect the freedom that you have won so hard!"

Cheers rang out, and patches of black wood weapons pierced into the sky.

But there are also people who are puzzled, "Who are you fighting? How do you know that the rumble in the north must be coming to attack the enemy of the Stopping State? Maybe it was just an accident and it would disappear later." ”

Lei Chi raised his arm and pointed to the sky, "I heard a reminder from my brother Mu Xingqiu, if you still remember this name, you will understand that the state is really in danger." ”

The black wood spear in Lei Chi's other hand suddenly changed, and the head of the spear, which was more than a foot long, turned from black to red, and seemed to sizzle heat. Then, the weapons in the hands of the other humans and demons also underwent similar changes, so they all believed it.

The warm wind blew through the unique state of stopping, and more than 3,000 humans and demons put on various helmets and held swords in both hands, turning from farmers to warriors.
