Following.

The sky is clear, the clouds are not stained, the distant mountains contain daisies, and the wind warms.

The Nan family of three finished breakfast, and Nan's father, as usual, said goodbye and got up to take a bow and go hunting in the mountains.

Nan Jiantian put his arm on Nan's father's shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Father, you have suffered all these years, and the child will go up the mountain to hunt for you in the past few days, so you can rest at home!"

With that, he took a bow and arrows and a red tassel spear from the wall, and strode out.

The Nan couple looked at Nan Jiantian's distant back, and their hearts couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Tian'er has grown up and learned to share our worries, and now he is stronger than me when I was young. I'm so relieved!" Nan's father said earnestly.

"Isn't that exactly what we're looking forward to?" said Nan's face.

"It's just that I'm deeply worried, if one day, Tian'er learns about his background, how will he react?

"Hopefully that day will never come!" Nan muttered with a confused expression.

......

In the past three days, Nan Jian has been out early and returning late, and he can beat several times his father's prey every day, and the fierce beasts he hunts have become the rations of a family of three, and the excess is distributed to his neighbors.

It was easy to domesticate and was kept in captivity by the Nan couple in case of future needs.

The time of his return has added a bit of vitality to the lifeless Sunset Mountain.

On this day, when Nan Jiantian returned from stepping on the sunset with the prey on his shoulders, he met Xiaoling at the entrance of the village.

To be honest, he didn't want to encounter this woman in his heart, and his relationship needed two people to agree, but Nan Jiantian was not interested in Sunset Mountain.

What he needs is a bigger stage to show his dreams, and he will definitely not spend the rest of his life here.

In this case, you should not delay the other party's good years.

At least, that's what Nan Jiantian had in mind.

The two were only a few meters apart, and he obviously couldn't dodge it at such a close distance, so he had to rush forward.

"It's getting late, and it's dangerous for you to come out alone. Nan Jiantian threw the prey at his feet and quietly looked at the girl in front of him.

"Do you care about me? I'm here to wait for you!" Xiaoling's eyes were resentful, and she still couldn't let go of what happened three days ago.

'Sure enough!' Nan Jiantian said darkly.

"If nothing else, in a few days I will set off for Tiannan, and the outside world is not as beautiful as we imagined, but full of danger and cruelty. Now I am just an insignificant character, following me, and the future is full of uncertainties......"

"I don't care about that, I'm not afraid of danger. Xiaoling interrupted him and said. She was a little anxious to confess her heart.

"But I care!" Nan Jiantian said fiercely.

Xiaoling was stunned by his sudden change.

"Didn't scare you, did you?" Nan Jiantian looked apologetically

"You've changed!"

"When a person survives adversity for a long time, there will always be changes, for the better, or for the worse, and into the wrong way. ”

"I believe that if a person's nature is still unclear and his original intention is still there, he will not do things that hurt nature and reason and violate morality, right?"

"You are not deeply involved in the world, how can you understand what morality is. Nan Jiantian shook his head slightly and continued: "I said this just to let you understand that I will not make any promises to you until I have the ability to protect my beloved. ”

"It's okay, I can wait! Is three years enough?"

Xiaoling actually remembered her father's three-year covenant in her heart, she is really a simple-minded girl.

"Three years, whether it's long or not, whether it's short or not, can you wait?" asked Nan Jiantian word by word.

"I—yes! I'll wait until you come back, wait for you to marry me!" Xiaoling said boldly, hiding her shyness.

Nan Jiantian didn't say anything more, picked up the prey and strode away.

At this moment, he actually had a good impression of Xiaoling, her innocence made Nan Jiantian feel close, once upon a time, he was also an ignorant teenager, out of this mountain, towards an unknown world.

There was a moment in his heart that he wanted to protect her, even the protection that he would never leave.

However, his future is still uncertain, how can he drag down the kind girl in front of him any longer.

"Nan Jiantian, I will wait for you for three years, if you don't come back after three years, I will get married!" Xiaoling shouted at his departing back.

However, she never got an answer again.

Nan Jiantian put the prey at the door of the Xiao family, it was a juvenile stone-grained zebra, weighing two hundred catties, and there were still more than one hundred catties after peeling off the fur and internal organs, which was enough for the rations of the Xiao father and daughter for several days.

After doing all this, Nan Jiantian got up and left, no one knew what he was thinking.

On this day, in the evening, suddenly, the wind was strong and the clouds were thick.

The sky seemed to suddenly crack, and the raindrops the size of beans poured down from it, and the rain became heavier and heavier, like a gray rain curtain, and the momentum was magnificent.

For a while, the rain was pouring down, the electricity was like a fire dragon, and the thunderbolt shook the sky, and the sky and the earth were trembling.

The water on the eaves increased, stretched into a silver line, and dripped 'with a bang', and the rain on the ground soon gathered into a river.

At this time, Nan Jiantian was walking alone in the deep mountains, he didn't go hunting today, the prey at home was enough to last for a long time, and he wandered in the hinterland of Sunset Mountain all day.

He had a strange illusion that in the middle of the mountains, in an unknown area, there was a magical power calling him to go there.

However, at the end of the day, nothing was found.

Sunset Mountain was so big that he could barely find a way out.

On the way back, he encountered a torrential rain, and almost in a few breaths, he became a chicken in the soup.

The wind was blowing in the mountains and forests, and the trees were swaying, making a 'whoo-hoo-hoo-' earth monster sound.

It's as if welcoming the arrival of a rainstorm.

'Boom!'

A huge thunder roared like a landslide and the earth cracked, and the thunder and lightning danced like a silver snake, shattering a thousand-year-old tree.

Debris flew everywhere and fires flowed everywhere. From time to time, the wails of wild beasts can be heard from the depths of the mountains.

Nan Jiantian ignored these, and waded forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his whole body already soaked and clinging to his skin.

Suddenly, a feeling of uneasiness spread in his heart, as if something big would happen tonight, and at that moment, he quickened his pace and walked down the mountain.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder shook the sky, and the rain showed no signs of stopping.

When Nan Jiantian stepped into the entrance of the village, he smelled a faint smell of blood, as a descendant of Orion, these naturally could not escape his ears and nose.

The uneasiness in his heart deepened again, it was by no means a whim, it seemed that something was happening in the village.

Dozens of paces forward, he saw a tamed bison that had fallen to the ground and died, it was obvious that it had experienced something, even if it fled to the entrance of the village, it would still be unable to escape death.

The body was surrounded by demonic energy, as if it had been sucked dry, the cowhide was folded, and the huge body was actually shrunk in a circle.

Nan Jiantian secretly said 'not good', his feet did not stop, and he hurried forward.
