Early the next morning, as usual, Long Yun set off with his medicine basket and a small dagger on his back, and he was going to the mountains.

At the end of the mountain, there are crises everywhere, and all kinds of plants in the mountain grow and decay very quickly, the same place inside, almost after a few days of a new look, if not for a long time in the deep mountains of the people, it is easy to get lost in it. So no one wants to run into the mountains often, but Long Yun is an exception, because he has a reason why he has to go......

Long Yun was walking on the path to the mountains at this time, thinking about the bits and pieces of his childhood to adulthood.

Long Yun's father used to be the "beast hunter" in the village, the so-called "beast hunter" is the armed personnel in the village who specialize in resisting foreign beasts, his father was still the leader of the beast hunters in Long'an Village at that time, and there were three full-time beast hunters and more than a dozen part-time beast hunters. Specially responsible for defending against the alien beasts that invaded the village, under their best protection, the village had lived a few years of peace.

The Beast Hunters also have their own organization, called the Beast Hunter Alliance, which is an organization jointly established by hundreds of nearby towns and villages, and is headquartered in Linyuan City.

Every year, the villages and towns within a radius of hundreds of miles of Linyuan City will send people to the Beast Hunting Alliance to participate in their assessment, and if they pass the assessment, they can learn the skills of various beast hunters there, and after three years of training, if they can pass the final test, they will become a full-time beast hunter, and then they can return to the village to gather and train part-time beast hunters and form their own beast hunting team. Of course, the Beast Hunter Alliance sometimes needs to summon orcs to complete the Alliance's beast hunting missions.

Long Yun's father, Long Yu, was admitted to the Beast Hunting Alliance at the age of fifteen, returned to the village at the age of eighteen, and protected the village until he was thirty-five years old before marrying a wife and having Long Yun.

When Long Yun was three years old, the Beast Hunter Alliance summoned his father and three other beast hunters from the village to participate in a mission, which had too many anomalies and was often talked about by the villagers.

If it was a normal mission, a village would only send one or two orcs at most to prevent the village from being attacked by strange beasts without orc hunters left behind, but that mission sent all four orc hunters in the village at once. And they have been gone for more than a year, and there has been no news.

It wasn't until one day when Long Yun was more than four years old that his father, who was waiting for him left and right, finally came back, but his father collapsed at the door of the house before he could enter the house, still holding a newborn baby girl in his hand. This baby girl is Long Yun's later sister Long Yao.

Long Yun vaguely remembered the appearance of his father lying in front of the house covered in blood, he called out for his father, but his father was motionless, like a stone that had been weathered. At that time, the four-year-old Long Yun seemed to suddenly understand something, wanted to cry but couldn't cry, and then hid in the corner of the house in fright, and didn't say a word for the next few days, just sleeping, eating, and being in a daze.

Later, Long Yun often heard people in the village talk about this matter, they said that when his father came back, he did not find any traces of being bitten and scratched by foreign beasts, and those fatal scars were more like injuries caused by human weapons, plus the four beast hunters who went out on the mission only came back alone, and the beast hunting alliance did not explain at all, only said that they did not know the situation. All these have cast a veil of mystery over this matter, and it has become a topic of frequent conversation among the villagers.

Since that incident, for more than ten years, there has been only one beast hunter in the village, and since then, all the foreign beasts in the village that are only a little more powerful cannot be dealt with, and the foreign beasts like to eat humans, so they can only sacrifice those poor old people alive.

Long Yun's grandmother always liked to tell him about his father and mother. Long Yun's mother was met by his father during a mission, she was a physician named Mu Zhi.

On that mission, his father was commissioned by the Beast Hunting Alliance to hunt a blue-eyed demon wolf around a nearby village, and although he finally killed the beast, he was also seriously injured.

He endured his pain and went to a nearby town to seek healing. And in the end, it was Long Yun's mother who healed him.

His father was carefully cared for there, and he recuperated for more than three months, all the new and old injuries were healed, and he was still reluctant to leave, and finally relied on other people's daughters to go home, worshiped the way of heaven, became a parent, and had Long Yun in the second year.

Long Yun still remembered that after his father's death, his mother often looked at Long Yao as a baby in a daze at first, and it was a whole day to watch.

Suddenly, one day, she called Long Yun to her and said to Long Yun, "She will be your sister in the future." ”

And his mother also told him that after her observation and diagnosis, she was sure that Long Yao's eyes were blind, and she didn't know if it could be cured, so that Long Yun could protect this sister in the future and not let people bully her.

Since then, his mother has been running into the mountains every once in a while, in order to cure Long Yao's eyes.

She was looking for a medicinal herb called purple jade cicada wipe, and Long Yun had been looking through the doctor's notes and medical books left by his mother since he was a child, among which the herbs of this purple jade cicada ver were emphatically recorded.

This herb is so rare that her mother learned about it in an ancient pharmacopoeia, and she has only heard of one from her peers when she was young.

Ancient books record that this herb can treat almost all eye diseases in the world, not only that, but normal people can also make people's eyes shimmer when they eat it, they can see insects and ants 100 meters away, and they can see at night as if they were during the day.

Long Yun recalled this, looking at the boundless Tianwan Mountain in the distance, the mountain was so majestic, but he was so small that it was like a speck of dust in the world, as if it was overwhelming.

When his mother left, he faced the mountain again and again, from the initial fear, to the later resoluteness, as if he was facing his own life.

Long Yun was eleven years old that year, and as usual, her mother finished breakfast, smeared some potions on her body to repel poisonous insects and evil spirits, brought the dough cakes she ate on the road, and told Long Yun a few words, and then went out with the medicine basket on her back.

Long Yun looked at his mother's slender body facing the mountain from afar, hoping that his mother would come back safely. But this was the last time he saw that familiar back.

Long Yun remembered very well that it was a clear sky that day, and the sun was shining on the mountain.

But not long after his mother went to the mountains, it was as if the world had changed all at once, and suddenly lightning and thunder began, and the demonic wind began to work, and then huge dark clouds rolled in, pressing down on the heavens and the earth, and there was no light at all, and then the rain poured down.

Long Yun's mother did not return that day.

The next day the rain was still falling, and Long Yun's mother still did not come back, and on the third day, the rain continued to fall, and Long Yun began to wait in the rain at the entrance of the village, he looked into the distance, his eyes were full of hollowness.

After this rain, it rained for seven days, and Long Yun waited in the rain for seven days, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him.

He just stood in the rain, straight up, looking at ...... Looking at the ......
