Mu Feng hesitated for a moment, and the elder directly interrupted him.
"Don't say anything. If you still recognize me as a grandfather, just recuperate honestly. I will arrange everything." The elder said here, sighed leisurely, and then said, "I am not old anymore. I'm young, maybe I don't have a few years to live, why do these things, isn't it all to keep the family business of our branch of the Mu family, for you."
Mu Feng fell silent, unable to say anything.
It is true that grandfather has some selfishness, but this selfishness is not for grandfather himself. From his point of view, even the Mu Clan's family is considered a half-outsider. After all, he wants to keep the Mu Clan in Black Rock City in the hands of this branch, and is unwilling to fall into the hands of others. Even Mu Hanyan was just an excuse he used to beat Mu Rui'an.
This is also his lifelong wish. If he is not allowed to try it, he may not be able to feel at ease even under the Nine Springs.
Although he had no hope for the final outcome of the matter, Mu Feng still decided not to stop him, regardless of success or failure, he must be at ease.
…
Shishan Ridge is located hundreds of miles north of Black Rock City. Mu Hanyan thought it was just a barren mountain range, but after arriving, he realized that it was a mountain range that stretched thousands of miles.
Compared to the Longyan Mountains, a mountain range of thousands of miles is not worth mentioning, but it is not easy to find a family in it. But fortunately, Mu Cheng knows the way.
"I remember the village ahead, where Huayue's home should be." At the foot of the mountain, Mu Cheng pointed to a rugged path ahead, and said to Mu Hanyan.
"I see, why don't you go back first, or stay here and wait for me." Mu Hanyan said.
The two were worried about the safety of Huayue and the others, and when they went out, they ran wildly for hundreds of miles. Even Mu Hanyan was a little tired, and Mu Cheng was of course even worse. Originally, Huayue took his grandma to live in the city before, but they didn't know why they moved back to the village here.
"I'm fine, I'll go with you first, and I'll come back if there's any danger," Mu Cheng said.
"Alright." Mu Hanyan took a closer look. Although Mu Cheng was sweating profusely, his breathing was still even and steady. It seemed that his strength had improved a lot, so he didn't worry anymore.
The two of them didn't stop, and rushed towards the village along the path.
The moon is black and the stars are sparse, and the shadows of the trees beside the road are whirling. The strange thing is that along the way, I seldom heard the sound of insects and birds. The closer to the village, the quieter it is, so quiet that people feel weird.
The village Mu Cheng mentioned appeared in sight. The village was not big, only about twenty or thirty families, with low and old earthen walls, and black tiles with green grass. It looked like a scene of poverty and defeat.
When I get along with Huayue on weekdays, I only feel that he is calm and generous, but reserved, and a bit arrogant in his coldness. He is definitely better than many family children. Seeing this dilapidated village, it is hard for Mu Hanyan to imagine, It is here that he grew up.
It was not very late at this time, but there was no light in the village, and it was eerily quiet, not even a cock crowing or a dog barking.
"No!" Mu Hanyan quickened his pace and flew towards the village.
As soon as he entered the village, Mu Hanyan stopped in his tracks.
Two corpses were lying on the stone road leading into the village, and one was lying beside the well not far away. If you looked around, you could see the door, the courtyard, the corner of the house... In the small village, there was coldness everywhere. corpse.
From the gray-haired old man to the toddler, there is no one alive in the hundreds of villages, even chickens and dogs.
Mu Hanyan only heard from Mu Feng that Huayue Zirong was in danger, but he didn't know that even the whole village had suffered a catastrophe. Seeing the cold corpses and the couple dying, he was full of despair and hope. Helpless eyes, a burst of soreness, a burst of anger.
Who is it that is so vicious that he doesn't even spare unarmed old and young women and children
Behind him, Mu Cheng also clenched his fists tightly, his teeth chattering.
"Who the hell is so cruel? I'm going to kill him." Mu Cheng watched a mother hugging her infant child tightly, but the two were cut into two by a sword. Said.
"Find Huayue and the others first." Mu Hanyan's anger turned into anger, but he remained calm.
The village was dead silent, and there was no sound of fighting. Either Huayue Zirong died like these villagers, or she just escaped.
The village is not big, and the two of them only spent half an hour searching the village, but they did not find the bodies of Huayue and Zirong. It seems that they guessed right, they escaped.
"There are traces of fighting here. They should have escaped from here." Mu Cheng found clues by the grass at the end of the village and said to Mu Hanyan.
Almost at the same time as he was speaking, a little cold star flashed across the hillside behind the village, and then there was another sound of gold and iron clanging. Although the distance was still far away, it was very clear in the silent night.
"Let's go quickly." Mu Cheng cheered up and was about to rush towards the hillside.
"Wait, go quietly." Mu Hanyan pulled Mu Cheng back.
Huayue and Zirong were still alive, and Mu Hanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at times like this, he had to remain calm.
With Huayue's appearance and Jiang Yuzhe who is elusive, the three of them were forced to flee together, and they didn't know how strong the other party was. After all, Mu Hanyan hadn't been promoted to a sword master yet, and he didn't know the opponent's strength, so he didn't want to expose his whereabouts easily.
She is here to save people, not to die. It would be best if she can stab a cold knife in the back and succeed in one fell swoop.
Mu Cheng nodded, seeing that Mu Hanyan could keep calm at such a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in his heart. If he had Mu Hanyan's strength and faced this kind of situation, he would have been too arrogant. How could he still be so calm.
The two walked lightly, and under the cover of weeds and bushes, they ran towards the hillside at high speed.
There is a small temple built on the hillside, and the ancient red bricks are as dilapidated as the village at the bottom of the hill. Even the clay statue of the god is only half left, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the mountain god or the land god.
Huayue and Zirong were leaning against the corner of the small temple, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, large and small bruises on their bodies, and bloodshot mouth corners, obviously both of them were seriously injured during their escape.
The faces of the two were pale, panting heavily, and the fingers holding the sword were trembling slightly, but their expressions were still resolute and stern.
An old woman with white flowers was hidden behind them, her wrinkled face was full of sorrow.
"Hua Yue, let's go, why bother to give up my life for an old woman who is half buried in the ground." The old woman said with tears in her eyes.
