Chapter 41: It's hard to give up family affection

Out of Haotian Sect's Mountain Protection Phantom Array, it means leaving Haotian Sect's land card.

Xiao Wensheng looked around, all of them were rolling green hills, green pines and willows, full of life.

Xiao Wensheng is not familiar with this mountain range, of course, it is impossible to enter the Daqing Mountain Range so deeply before, I only remember that the master took him all the way to the west, as long as he walked east along the original road, he should be able to find the mountain range he was familiar with, and return home to see his parents at home.

Since Xiao Wensheng's true yuan was not enough to support his sword flight for too long, he had to stop for a few hours and use a few hours to recover the lost true yuan, flying and stopping, so it took a few days for Xiao Wensheng to fly out of the depths of the Daqing Mountain Range and begin to see the villages living in seclusion in the mountains.

With the appearance of a village, Xiao Wensheng knew that he was not far from home, Xiao Wensheng's heart suddenly began to feel uneasy, I don't know what happened to his parents at home, after so many years, have he forgotten his son.

With excitement, Xiao Wensheng's imperial sword flew over the sky, and following the already vague memories in his mind, he found the village where he had lived for more than ten years.

Find a hidden place to fall on the ground, Xiao Wensheng looked at the village from a distance, the grass and trees here have not changed much from when he left, the isolated lifestyle makes them make it possible that there will not be much change here even in the past few decades, it is already evening at this moment, and the villagers who have been tired for a day should have already begun to sit on the kang and eat dinner, Xiao Wensheng thought so.

Just as he was about to take a step towards the village, Xiao Wensheng put his foot back again, with a bitter smile on his face.

What kind of face do you have to go back to see your parents, you can't fulfill your filial piety before, and now you just come to see the second elder, and you can't always accompany the second elder in the future, and now you have shown your identity, which can only bring greater disappointment to the second elder.

I just glanced at the second elder, and I didn't want anything else.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wensheng scattered the long hair that was originally tied up at random on the top of his head, and the hanging green silk covered half of Xiao Wensheng's face, took out the Purple Thunder Sword, held it in his hand and stood behind his back, hiding the light on his sword, making the Purple Thunder Sword look similar to the sword used by ordinary martial artists.

Xiao Wensheng glanced at himself left and right, a cyan satin robe, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, a long sword in his hand, and his slightly messy long hair couldn't cover the loneliness in his eyes, he was completely dressed as a down-and-out swordsman.

But looking left and right, Xiao Wensheng always felt that something was missing, and after thinking about it, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the Xumi gourd appeared in his right hand, raised the gourd and poured a mouthful of blood spirit wine into his mouth, and walked towards the village.

Entering the village, there is a strange quiet.

Originally, Xiao Wensheng thought that the villagers would be so quiet when they were eating dinner, but when he stood up, it was a little quiet, and there was not even the cry of a child.

Xiao Wensheng frowned slightly, as soon as he entered the village, he smelled a strange smell in the village, and the more he entered the village, the stronger the smell became.

I asked carefully, this smell has a slight smell, a little pungent, like the smell of something that has been dead for a long time and rotted, and there is a slight sour smell in the rancid smell, which is unusually unpleasant.

"Squeak. ”

The door of the room not far from Xiao Wensheng suddenly opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man with a haggard face, with stubble on his face and dark eyes, as if he had not rested for a long time.

And this middle-aged man Xiao Wensheng also happened to know, when he was a child, he called him Uncle Zhang, and often let Xiao Wensheng ride on his neck and play with Xiao Wensheng.

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned when he saw Xiao Wensheng, especially Xiao Wensheng's dress and the sword in his hand, in the village, there are few such people coming.

"Uncle, what's going on here, why are you so quiet?"

Xiao Wensheng wanted to take two steps forward to speak, but when he saw Uncle Zhang's vigilant eyes, he gave up and stood in the distance and asked.

"You are?"

Without answering Xiao Wensheng's question, the middle-aged man asked rhetorically.

"Do you have a family surnamed Xiao, and you have a son named Wensheng?"

Xiao Wensheng asked, and this was also the idea he had just thought of, to make up a false identity for himself.

"Wensheng, do you know Wensheng, how is he now, are you okay?"

As soon as the man heard Xiao Wensheng say this name, he shouted excitedly.

"Uncle, don't worry, Senior Brother Xiao is very good, he is currently in retreat, but he misses his family very much, so he entrusted me to come and see his family, can you take me to his home?"

"Practice?"

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned when he heard the words.

"Didn't Wensheng go to the scientific expedition?"

"Senior Brother Xiao participated in two scientific examinations in a row, but there were too many traitorous eunuchs, even though he was talented, but Senior Brother failed to reach high school. ”

"Since you can say Wensheng's name, it is probably indeed Wensheng's senior brother, this child has been gone for so many years, so that the second elder in the family is really waiting hard, if you come ten days and a half late, you won't see their second elder, come with me." ”

The middle-aged man sighed, waved his hand, and motioned for Xiao Wensheng to follow.

A trace of bad omens rose from Xiao Wensheng's heart, and Xiao Wensheng was suddenly scared in his heart, afraid that he would see something that he couldn't accept for a while.

"What's wrong with them?"

Xiao Wensheng asked tentatively.

"You'll know when you see it in a while, let's go. ”

Ignoring Xiao Wensheng, the middle-aged man walked forward.

Xiao Wensheng could only step to keep up, walking forward step by step, the scene in front of him and his childhood memories slowly overlapped, the memory began to become clearer and clearer, and the scenery in front of him began to become more and more familiar.

Passing through a field full of grain, a low, dilapidated house appeared in front of me, the roof tiles had fallen off a lot, revealing the thatch inside, and a faint musty smell came from the house.

"Old Xiao, your son's friend has come to see you. ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a creak of the wooden door opening, the door of the house was opened, and no one was seen but the coughing sound came first, and then a man with a wooden stick, a haggard face, and no trace of blood on his face walked out of the house with difficulty.

Seeing this figure, Xiao Wensheng's nose was sour, and he forcibly kept himself from tears, but he couldn't stop it.

"Are you a friend of my Wensheng?

Xiao Wensheng's father's words were trembling, and his body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Xiao Wensheng stepped forward to support his father's body, and when he touched his father's body, he felt that his father, who was originally strong, was now skinny and skinny.

"Wensheng, he's fine, he's doing well, don't you worry, how did your body become like this?"

Xiao Wensheng choked up a little as he spoke.

"To know that Wensheng is doing well before he dies is also considered to be good to us, wife, have you heard, our Wensheng is doing well outside. ”

Xiao Wensheng's father walked to the edge of the kang in the house step by step with a cane.

Xiao Wensheng found out that there was a person lying on the kang, his mother, but her eyes were dull and she was very sick.

Xiao Wensheng couldn't hold back his tears anymore and flowed down.

A few steps out of the house, to the middle-aged man who had not followed up just now.

"What has happened over the years? I remember Senior Brother Xiao said that his parents were fine when he left home, and now?"

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words, Wensheng's mother missed her son too much in the years after he was gone, resulting in a little mental disorder, once it was a heavy rain, she went out by herself and fell in the rainstorm, and was drenched in the rainstorm for a long time, and after finding her, she lay in bed and never got up, for a few years, it has been like this. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's face showed a trace of unbearability.

"What about Senior Brother Xiao's father, how could it be like this?"

"About a year ago, a huge boar suddenly ran out of the mountain, so big that I couldn't believe it when I first saw it, this giant boar appeared and began to spoil our hard-working dealer, causing huge losses, so all the men in the village organized a hunt for the giant boar, and it was also at that time that Wen Sheng's father was trampled on the back by the giant boar, and now he is alive and has survived until now, which is a miracle, and recently the village does not know where the plague came from, and many people have been infected。 ”

"None of this is the worst, and it is also during this time that people in the village often go missing in the night, without any movement, and the next day they are gone. Now there are rumors that there is a man-eating monster recently, and when it comes to night, it comes out to catch people to eat, and now the people in the village are panicking, and no one dares to go out as long as it is dark. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's eyes looked at the sword in Xiao Wensheng's hand, and his originally somewhat decadent eyes suddenly lit up, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Since you are a cultivator, you must also be very skilled, please take action and catch this man-eating monster. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's words were a little choked, which showed how much pressure this kind of thing had brought to them during this time.

Xiao Wensheng hurriedly helped him up.

"Since I'm here, I'll take care of it, so go back to your room and don't come out of any sound you hear. ”

"Hey, hey, I'll leave it to you!"

When he was about to despair, he encountered a little hope, and the middle-aged man's face squeezed out a rare smile, and turned away.

When Xiao Wensheng returned to the house again, the silence in the room was a little terrifying, Xiao Wensheng's father sat on the edge of the fire, looking at the woman lying on the bed, motionless.

"Let me take a look at your body, maybe I can cure you. ”

Xiao Wensheng walked up to his father and said softly.

"What if I was cured of my illness, I would rather leave with my wife when I was alone in this world. ”

Xiao Wensheng's father's eyes never left the woman lying on the bed, but the tenderness in his eyes was something that Xiao Wensheng couldn't read.

Sighing softly, Xiao Wensheng didn't say anything, came to the edge of the bed and sat down, gently put his hand on his mother's wrist, and carried a trace of true yuan into his mother's body to explore the condition of his body, but the situation was so bad that Xiao Wensheng slowly frowned.

The cold of the rainstorm caused her entire body to be damaged to varying degrees, especially the nerves, and the lack of timely treatment led to the current situation.

Xiao Wensheng doesn't know how to treat his mother, but he has a lot of good things on his body, and he doesn't know if it's useful for the disease.

He also checked Xiao Wensheng's father's illness, there was a huge hoofprint-shaped bruise on the entire back, and there were several broken bones, Xiao Wensheng's father was able to survive, which seemed to be a miracle in Xiao Wensheng's eyes.

Xiao Wensheng took out the Pei Yuan Dan that the second senior brother gave him at that time from the Qiankun Qingguang Ring, opened the stopper and looked at it, there were more than 20 grains in the porcelain bottle, Xiao Wensheng took out one and handed it to his father, and said: "You dilute this with water, and take it for one person and one bowl, your body is too weak, you need to recuperate first." ”

This Pei Yuan Dan exudes a faint medicinal fragrance, in the eyes of Xiao Wensheng's father, it is like a fairy medicine, so he quickly catches it, and after melting it with warm water, it turns into a transparent turquoise liquid.

Xiao Wensheng's father picked up a bowl and came to the kang, Xiao Wensheng got up and took the bowl, and said, "You go and drink another bowl here, I'll come!"

Taking over the bowl, Xiao Wensheng fed the potion into his mother's mouth little by little, looking delicate and gentle.

Xiao Wensheng's father picked up the bowl and drank the dissolved Pei Yuan Dan, quietly looked at Xiao Wensheng who was feeding his mother the potion, and said, "Young man, what does my Wensheng look like now?"

"Senior Brother Xiao, he is taller than me now, more handsome than me, and smarter than me, and he is very liked by his master, and he said that he will come to visit the second elder as soon as he comes out of the customs next year. ”
