Chapter 26: Grief

The sky is clear, the sea of clouds is vast, the morning glow is dotted among them, and the white smoke clouds gather like the sea, and the two of them control the light as if they are surfing on the ocean, bringing up two white ripples and cutting the sky.

"Xiao Fan, this time down the mountain, have you hidden Xiao Ash well?" Lin Song asked because there were too many things to do to go down the mountain this time, and there were dangers everywhere you were going to go, the three-eyed spirit monkey was indeed a very potential spirit beast, but now Xiao Ash had not grown up and could not provide assistance, so Lin Song asked Xiao Fan to settle Xiao Ash first, because there were no materials on the mountain to make a spirit beast bag, and Xiao Ash could not be carried with him, and when the time came, it would be inevitable to have some scruples.

"Well, I've settled down, I opened a cave near the primeval pine forest in the back mountain, let Xiao Ash stay in it, and let it learn to make wine by itself by the way, and when I go back, I will see if the wine it brews is good, and if it tastes good, I will make medicinal food for it." ”

After listening to Xiao Fan's words, Lin Song's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Fan really has you, and he actually thought of letting Xiao Fan learn to brew monkey wine by himself." However, according to legend, the three-eyed spirit monkey does have such a specialty, if Xiao Ash really brews monkey wine, Xiao Fan can not forget your brother and me. ”

Xiao Fan glanced at Lin Song angrily, and said, "Brother, look at what you said, if Xiao Ash really brewed monkey wine, how could I forget you." ”

"Okay, okay, it's my brother who said the wrong thing, when I finish worshipping Daddy and them, my brother will take you to Heyang Town to eat osmanthus cake, since A-Niang and they died, I haven't eaten Heyang's osmanthus cake for a long time. ”

"Yes, I have forgotten what the osmanthus cake tastes like, so I must eat more this time. ”

So between the two of them, the speed of the light was increased, turning into two cyan streamers and disappearing into the tumbling sea of clouds in a blink of an eye.

The cool breeze is miserable, the grass is overgrown, and the broken archway can still be seen depicting grass and village characters. Between the ruins, thatch was scattered on the ground, and the tattered wooden planks were piled up in the village in one place in the east and one in the west, and the surrounding wooden houses either collapsed on the roofs or had leaking air gaps.

Near the desolate mountain range, there is only such an abandoned village at the foot of the mountain, even within a radius of thousands of miles, there is only such a place near the Qingyun Mountain Range, and the hunters who can go to the Qingyun Mountain Range to hunt would rather stay in the mountain where fierce beasts roam to rest, rather than stay under the ruins that once had human population, but are afraid like snakes and scorpions, as if there are man-eating monsters hidden in this ruin, and they can't avoid it.

The sky was blue, the clouds were steaming, and the morning sun was exceptionally bright, when two blue rays of light crossed the sky, like meteors falling from the sky, and came to the ruins of such a desolate and uninhabited village.

The blue light fell to the ground, revealing two figures, and it was Lin Song and Xiaofan who had returned. Lin Song and Xiao Fan have been staying in Qingyunmen since the tragedy, and this time they returned to the village, and they had been away for several years.

Lin Song opened his eyes, there are traces of ruin and dilapidation everywhere, there is no sign of human habitation, looking at the archway in front of him that was once engraved with Caomiao Village, as if he has returned to the village full of laughter and laughter in his memory, the chickens and dogs smell each other, the busy working village people walk around in the village, the night falls, the children who have played for a day return to the cottage at home, A-Niang has already made a table of simple but full of warm delicacies waiting for the hunting father to come back, the family is eating a reunion dinner, telling the interesting things that happened that day. The familiar voices and smiles in the village have become yellowed memories at this moment, sleeping in the sea of memory, as time fades away, inexplicably Lin Song's heart swells with grief, his eyes are red, and he also remembers the powerlessness at the beginning, he can only watch the grief happen, but he has no power to change and prevent it from happening.

"Brother... I want to go home and see. Xiao Fan had tears in the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice.

Lin Song just nodded silently, did not speak, and took the lead towards the home in his memory. Maybe he was afraid that he couldn't help but hold back the tears as soon as he spoke, revealing his vulnerable side in front of his younger brother, but Lin Song understood that anyone can be vulnerable, but as Xiao Fan's only relative, as Xiao Fan's elder brother, he must not be vulnerable, because in this world of Zhuxian, if Xiao Fan still has to rely on, then only he is the elder brother, and the only thing he can rely on is himself. Strength is a character that must be engraved in the soul and cannot be forgotten.

The dilapidated houses, the dilapidated courtyards, only the old trees in memory still grow green leaves, swaying branches, as if they are cheering for the return of the wanderer. Lin Song came to the backyard and sat at the stone table where he had woken up and had his first meal of white rice porridge boiled by his own hands, as if the loving smile appeared in front of him again. I still remember that day when Daddy came back from hunting, he saw himself standing in the yard when he woke up, and he couldn't speak for a long time with excitement, until he shouted "Daddy", and the dignified seven-foot man trembled and hugged his young body, shedding tears mixed with excitement and joy. I remember Xiao Fan pulling himself even more, revealing a green wild fruit from his arms, obviously showing reluctance in his eyes, but he was determined to let himself eat.... Memories are like a tide, and thoughts are springing up... Even if it was only a short time, it was the most precious treasure that Lin Song had ever had.

In a trance, Lin Song seemed to see A-Niang and A-Dad again, asking himself if the two were doing well, Dad was full of satisfaction and asked him to take care of his younger brother Xiaofan, finally, Lin Song's tears burst out like a waterfall, and the sad cry echoed in this desolate ruins, Xiao Fan, who was standing on the side, heard the pain in the cry, full of tears, gritted his teeth and said to himself to be strong, but the sad figure of Lin Song was reflected in his eyes, but it was like opening the floodgates, and it kept flowing, only the painful roar, which was suppressed by Xiao Fan in his throat。

In the world where heaven is unkind and all things are dogs, no strength is a lamb to be slaughtered, weakness is a sin, only when you are strong, can you protect everything you cherish. Although Lin Song fell into grief at this time, that Dao heart was like a baptism, and the remaining regrets no longer became the shackles that restricted progress, but burned with brilliant brilliance, pushing Lin Song forward.

After a long time, when the sun set and cast the last rays of afterglow, the cries of pain that echoed in the ruins stopped.
