Chapter 03: The Mother's Calling

The houses in Woniu Village, except for a Xu family and some public buildings, are exactly the same, with a two-meter-high bluestone fence and two heavy solid wooden doors that open to the south, blocking everything inside.

When he arrived at the door, Mu Shiping pushed open the two heavy gates, and Lu Xiaoman entered the courtyard with Niu Daren in his arms.

Facing the gate are five large tiled houses with bright and clean windows, three low bungalows on the east side of the courtyard, which should be used to store sundries, a row of livestock pens on the west side, used to raise some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and a dry toilet in the southwest corner against the wall.

Niu Daren also saw that on the southeast side of the courtyard against the wall, there was a small nursery, and with Niu Daren's knowledge in his previous life and the smell in the air, it was easy to judge that this nursery was planted with medicinal herbs.

Open the door and enter the house, in the middle is the kitchen, on both sides of the door are brick and earth stoves, behind the wall is placed a cupboard, the left and right sides of the kitchen are bedrooms, the bedroom has a kang and some simple furniture. Although the room is very simple, it is very clean and warm, and Niu Daren is also very satisfied with this new home.

After coming to the bedroom on the east side, Niu Daren was put into a delicate and comfortable cradle, it seems that Mu Shiping and his wife had already planned to have children, but they didn't expect the things they prepared to be cheaper than Niu Daren, a minotaur.

As soon as Niu Daren was put down, Mu Shiping and his wife laughed inexplicably, and at the end of the laugh, they couldn't even straighten their waists.

In fact, Niu Daren is the reincarnation of a god, all of this is planned by Mu Shiping and his wife, as for the white smoke, it is just a smoke bomb set off by Mu Shiping while the chaos is set off, and the 'Jade Emperor's decree' is also that he coated a piece of yellow silk with damp white phosphorus in advance, and after he finished reading it, when Xu Mao asked for it, the water in the white phosphorus just dried up, and it naturally burned, which is also Mu Shiping's cleverness, he will never leave any evidence for Xu Mao.

As for the 'natural birth' of the sacred cow later, it had nothing to do with Mu Shiping, and this shocked him, but this made Mu Shiping's deception more real, and even Mu Shiping was a little skeptical that Niu Daren was really the reincarnation of the gods.

No matter how grotesque Niu Daren's background is, Mu Shiping and his wife decided to treat him only as an ordinary child, giving him the family warmth and parental care he deserves.

Under the careful care of Mu Shiping and his wife, Niu Daren grew up strongly, and it took three months for him to finally adapt to his current body, but the softness of his legs and feet made him unable to stand at all, and it was not until half a year later that he could barely walk, but even so, it also amazed the people of the Bai clan, and the reincarnation of the gods was even more determined.

After the age of one, when other children can only barely stand, Niu Daren can already jump freely, at the age of three he followed the seven or eight-year-old children to the school, at the age of five he completed all the teaching plans of the Bai clan, and at the age of seven, a pair of red gold sharp horns were born on the top of his head, sharp as a knife, and he ploughed and cultivated, like two oxen in the field.

As he grew older, Niu Daren gradually became familiar with his body, except for this bull head, which is no different from ordinary people, and can completely practice human exercises, and this body is not forged, when he is seven or eight years old, he is similar to the prime of his previous life, as long as he can exercise diligently, it is not difficult to become a peerless powerhouse.

Niu Daren thought that this body is now difficult for ordinary people to surpass, but when he was three years old, Mu Shiping and his wife finally gave birth to a baby girl, named Mu Yuechai, this girl completely inherited Lu Xiaoman's genes, although sweet and cute, but the strength is amazing, when he was four or five years old, he had the strength of a teenager, and at the age of seven, his strength was already on par with Niu Daren.

Mu Yuechai is gentle and shy by nature, but she can't hear others say that Niu Daren is not at all, once the words of ridicule and ridicule of Niu Daren come into her ears, she will change her temperament greatly, if she does not beat others with a blue nose and swollen face, and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy, she will never give up, so she has the resounding title of 'Yaksha Sister'.

Although Niu Daren never cared what others said about him, but with Mu Yuechai's 'protection', even a babbling child would not dare to laugh at Niu Daren's strange appearance.

Unconsciously, Niu Daren has reached the age of ten, and over the years, he also knows why there is only one Bai clan on this island, why there are only more than 2,000 people in the Bai clan, but they are skilled in many industries, and he also understands why these people with different surnames belong to the same clan.

It turned out that in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had a dream, in which an old man mentioned that there was an immortal island in the depths of the East China Sea, and there was an old immortal living on the island.

The world wants to live forever, not to mention the emperor who reigns over the world, so Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty immediately ordered the construction of a big ship, more than 100 capable people from all walks of life, one boy and one girl from all walks of life, and one hundred elite warriors accompanied by the escort, led by Guanglu doctor Xu Fu himself, set sail on the coast of the East China Sea, and embarked on the road of seeking immortals with sacrifices.

The big ship sailed in the East China Sea for several months, and encountered thousands of islands, but it never found the fairy island mentioned by the old man in the dream of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Suddenly, one day, dark clouds covered the sun, lightning and thunder, the wind suddenly rose, the huge waves were monstrous, under this bad weather, not to mention the direction, that is, to stabilize the hull, it was impossible to do, helpless, can only let it drift with the wind on the sea.

I thought that this time I would be buried at the bottom of the sea, but I never thought that it was blown to a desert island, and everyone survived, but the big ship had already become full of holes in the wind and waves, and they could no longer continue to sail away, so they could only stay on this desert island and seek a livelihood.

I wanted to settle on this plain near the coast, make a living from farming, and then return to my homeland after the big ship repaired, but there will be a strong wind and tsunami here within three days, and it is difficult to survive, so Xu Fu can only lead everyone to hide in the mountains, and make a living by hunting.

Hunting for a living is not an easy task, in the first few decades, the people of the hundred clans lived a very difficult life, often lack of food and clothing, sick one after another, decades of time, the number of people does not increase but decreases, in the long run, it will be extinct. At this moment, a bluestone sacred cow suddenly descended from the sky, and since then, there has never been a violent wind and tsunami on the island, and the Bai clan has moved here, and has been able to settle down and multiply.

The ancestors have long warned that the sacred cow is related to the life and death of the hundred clans, and it must be protected. This is why Xu Mao was so shocked that he forgot that his great-grandson fell to the ground after hearing that Mu Shiping was going to deliver the sacred cow.

However, the people of the Bai clan have always wanted to leave Shenliu Island, firstly because this idea has been there since Xu Fu, but the most important thing is that they are worried that the sacred cow will leave suddenly and will no longer be blessed, and future generations will inevitably suffer from the disaster of extinction. Therefore, every ten years, the Bai clan will send some people to sail away from the island, hoping to bring in rescue troops to help them get out of the predicament.

Niu Daren also saw this kind of thing once when he was four years old, but those who left Shenliu Island have never returned, and it is estimated that they have been buried at the bottom of the sea.

As for why, for thousands of years, so many people from the Bai clan have been sent out, and none of them have returned, whether they are all dead, or if there is some other reason, Niu Daren does not know.

Niu Daren is already ten years old, and if he wants to tap all the potential of his body and become a peerless powerhouse, it is not enough to help his stepmother plant some land, so he decided to start from now on, carry out devilish body forging, and be sure to release all the potential of his body within ten years.

When he said it, every day before dawn, Niu Daren got up from the warm quilt, two hours of running training is rain or shine, arm strength training, weight training, resistance training, in short, all the training that can make the body stronger, he will do it, and he doesn't care about the hard work.

With Niu Daren's unremitting efforts, his body is also getting stronger, tired during the day, and sleeping extra sweetly at night.

Late one night at the age of thirteen, Niu Daren woke up from his sleep again, because he heard that voice again, since he was five years old, whenever he fell asleep at night and his brain was most relaxed, this voice appeared, but when he woke up, he could not hear anything.

Listening quietly for a while, but still couldn't hear anything, Niu Daren felt that maybe he was too tired during the day to have auditory hallucinations, so he didn't think much about it, fell on the kang, and fell asleep again.

"Daren, my child, think about your mother's hard work, for your mother's deadline is approaching, I am afraid it will be difficult to live for a day, Daren, my child, can you come to the purple bamboo forest behind Woniu Mountain, and see your mother for the last time? ”

"Daren, my child, think about your mother's hard work, for your mother's deadline is approaching, I am afraid it will be difficult to live for a day, Daren, my child, can you come to the purple bamboo forest behind Woniu Mountain, and see your mother for the last time? ”

......

This passage is full of sadness, even in his sleep, Niu Daren can't help but burst into tears, and when he woke up again, the tears had already soaked the pillow towel.

However, Niu Daren is a heavenly beast born of heaven and earth, and a sacred cow, how can there be a mother? Besides, he has been to Woniu Mountain before and after, and he has never seen any purple bamboo forest, and he has also asked his clansmen that for thousands of years, no one has ever seen a single bamboo on Shenliu Island.

This matter can be described as absurd, but this voice echoes in his ears every night, disturbing his dreams, tonight's sadness, even more sad to his heart, listening to her words, after tonight, the soul will be scattered, turn the wind away, curious thoughts, let Niu Daren decide to go to find out.

After getting dressed and opening the door lightly, Niu Daren came to the courtyard, and he didn't see him open the door lock, just jumped over, easily jumped over the bluestone wall, and took advantage of the moonlight to rush in the direction of Woniu Mountain.

At this moment, it is late at night, the people of the hundred clans have already fallen asleep, only the top of the Woniu Mountain is still brightly lit, and there are people shaking from time to time.

In order not to be discovered by others, Niu Daren took a detour and came to the back of Woniu Mountain, but how could there be a purple bamboo forest in the dream, and in desperation, he could only run forward for seven or eight miles, until he touched the cliff and there was no road ahead, and he realized that it was just a dream of Nanke.

Niu Daren shook his head and sighed, he really lived for hundreds of years in his previous life, how could he be like a child and listen to dreams.

"Don't go, my son!" Just as Niu Daren turned to leave, the woman's voice came from behind him again, and he couldn't help but turn around and look, but there was no one in sight.

Just when Niu Daren was puzzled, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and the cliff in front of him collapsed instantly, and countless boulders fell from the cliff one after another, mixed with mud and sand, and roared.

In a hurry, Niu Daren didn't have time to think about it, and if he didn't dodge, he would inevitably bury his bones here, so he immediately turned around and fled, but his feet were like a quagmire, no matter how desperately he struggled, it was difficult to take a step forward.

"My life is over!" Seeing that the boulder was about to fall, Niu Daren could only close his eyes and sit and wait to die, but the revenge in his previous life had not been avenged, and he was unwilling in his heart.
