Long Chen hurriedly unfolded his consciousness and spread rapidly, and soon Long Chen's sharp eyes gradually became gentle.
Because Long Chen saw them, there was a simple thatched cottage on a hillside about a hundred miles outside the city.
In front of the thatched hut is a small yard, which is full of vegetables. Behind the thatched hut, there is a small orchard surrounded by wooden fences. It looks peaceful and natural, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
In the orchard, a beautiful woman was reaching out to pick a ripe fruit, wiped it with a towel, and handed it to a little girl beside her.
The little girl was only eight or nine years old, with pigtails braided on her head, with big innocent eyes, and she was made of pink and jade, which was lovable.
"Mother, except for the grass for half a day, you are tired, you eat first." The little girl was very well-behaved and sensible, and said to the woman.
"Little Yu, my mother is not tired, this is the fruit forest, the first batch of ripe fruit, come and try it." The woman smiled, her face full of pampering.
"No, mother eats first, if mother doesn't eat, Xiaoyu won't eat either." The little girl was very stubborn.
The woman smiled and said, "You, you really have the same character as your brother, and you are stubborn."
The woman had no choice but to take a light bite on the fruit and hand it to the little girl.
Then the little girl happily took the fruit, took a big bite, and the juice was flowing. I saw the happy expression on the little girl's face, and she was obviously very satisfied with the taste of the fruit.
"Eat slowly, you are a little girl. If you want to be gentle, how can you look so ugly, you look exactly like your brother." The woman said a little resentfully.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the juice from the corner of the little girl's mouth. The little girl seemed to have gotten used to it, and was still eating the fruit with a smile.
"Mother, you said that my brother has gone to study, and he will come back to see us when he succeeds in his studies, why hasn't he come back
The fruits are already ripe, and if he doesn't come back, he won't be able to catch up... I'm sorry, mother, Xiaoyu knows it's wrong..." The little girl asked suddenly while eating, but she quickly apologized when she saw that her mother's eyes were a little red.
The woman squatted down slowly, looked at the little girl and said: "Your brother Long Chen is still studying hard, he is a well-behaved and sensible child just like you.
If he doesn't come back, it means that he is still working hard. When he is successful, he will definitely come back to see... Ours. "
The woman's voice was a little choked.
"Mother, unfilial son Long Chen, I'm back to see you." At this moment, a voice came from not far away, also full of choking.
The woman's delicate body trembled, and she turned her head slowly. I don't know when, a handsome and tall man was standing behind her.
The body has grown taller again, and the handsome cheeks have receded from the youth of the year, replaced by the fortitude and maturity after the baptism of the years.
The face is still the same face, but after the baptism of the wind and frost, the temperament has completely changed. The only thing that remains unchanged is the pair of soulful eyes.
"Dust..."
That person was Long Chen's mother, Mrs. Long. Suddenly seeing Long Chen, it was like a dream, and her voice trembled.
"Mother... the child is not filial..."
Long Chen burst into tears at this time, and his heart was full of guilt. He was indeed an unfilial son. He had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
"Chen'er, it's really you..."
Mrs. Long burst into tears, hugged Long Chen, and forced her hands, for fear that Long Chen would fly.
Long Chen was also bursting with tears, no matter how high his cultivation base was and how prominent his prestige was, in front of his mother, he would always be a child. In the arms of his mother, the grievances in his heart would erupt like a flood that burst a dike.
In front of the confidante, he is the hero of the world and the most trustworthy partner.
In front of the enemy, he is vicious and vicious, and even the soul trembles when he hears his name.
Only in front of his mother, he is not an unparalleled hero, nor a vicious devil, he is just an ordinary child.
Since embarking on the road of cultivation, Long Chen has experienced countless hardships and setbacks along the way, but he has never bowed his head. Facing the reputation and prejudice of the world, Long Chen even laughed it off.
But in front of his mother, Long Chen seemed to have returned to his childhood appearance. Every time he was wronged, only the embrace of his mother would make him feel warm and safe.
"Good boy, don't cry, just come back, just come back... Xiaoyu, why are you hiding? Don't you cry every day to see your brother? Why don't you dare to recognize my brother when he comes back?"
After crying for a while, Mrs. Long helped Long Chen wipe the tears from her face, and stopped crying herself, but found that Xiaoyu was hiding behind her, only daring to look at Long Chen secretly.
When Long Chen looked at her, the little girl hurriedly hid her head behind Mrs. Long, as if afraid of Long Chen.
"This child..." Mrs. Long was both angry and funny.
"Xiaoyu, don't you remember brother? Brother brought you a gift!" Long Chen tempted.
"I remember, but... You look so fierce now... You are afraid of people, and the brother I remember... is not the same." Xiaoyu stuck her head out, peeked at Long Chen, and hurriedly retracted.
Long Chen smiled bitterly. After so many years, his appearance has not changed much, and his breath has completely converged, but it may be because the killing breath is too heavy.
Maybe Mrs. Long couldn't detect it, but the child is pure and kind by nature.
"call"
Long Chen suddenly stretched out a big hand, and in his hand there was a ball the size of a longan. The brilliance on the ball was flowing, like a hundred flowers blooming in turn, beautiful and strange.
"This is a gift that my brother specially prepared for you, do you like it or not?" Long Chen said with a smile.
It is indeed "deliberately" prepared, but the preparation time is very short, only a few breaths.
After Long Chen saw Xiaoyu, he immediately let Yanlong Ding cooperate with Huolong to refine a medicinal pill.
This is a ninth-order medicinal pill, but in fact, it has no medicinal effect. This medicinal medicinal herb is actually a medicinal medicinal pill used to test the switching skills between the power of flame and the power of soul. It is generally used for assessment. used by disciples.
The better a dan xiu's fire power is controlled, the faster the soul switching speed, and the patterns on the medicinal pill will be ever-changing.
However, Long Chen refined all kinds of pill patterns on the pills, and the pills were more gorgeous and dazzling, and more attractive than jewelry. I felt that this bead seemed to have a rhythm of life, let alone a child, even if Adults will also be deeply attracted.
Xiaoyu has been growing up in the deep mountains, where have I seen such a fun baby, and finally did not feel that Long Chen was "disgusting", and happily accepted Long Chen's gift.
A child is a child. I was a little afraid of life just now, and it didn't take long before I talked and laughed with Long Chen.
"Your father is fishing by the river, I'll call him." Long Chen came back, Mrs. Long was very happy, and she wanted her husband to be happy too.
"My father is really in a good mood, and I was able to calm down and go fishing." Long Chen laughed dumbly, but he was a little sad in his heart.
Thinking back then, Long Tianxiao was the Marquis of Zhenyuan of the Fengming Empire, guarding the border and being regarded as a military god, how majestic, and now he is in his prime, but he lives in seclusion in the barren mountains, which makes Long Chen feel endless guilt, all because of him .
"He, since he came here, his character has gotten better and better, when he was in the Fengming Empire, he often bickered.
Well now, your father let me everything, maybe the environment can really change a person, guarding the green mountains and rivers all day long, free from the world, and a carefree life.
It's no longer like when you were in the Fengming Empire, where you were afraid all day long, and your father doesn't have to run around for the unfinished business every day. Our current life is flat and warm.
Although at the beginning, it was not used to it, but now, we feel very contented. There was a peaceful smile on Mrs. Long's face, obviously she was very satisfied with her current life.
After experiencing ups and downs, people's moods will change. That's how Mrs. Long is. The current life is exactly what she wants. Her husband and daughter are by her side. , but every day is so peaceful and joyful.
Hearing what Mrs. Long said, the guilt in Long Chen's heart was slightly reduced. Long Chen asked why he moved out of the village, did he not get along with others
"Actually, the villagers are very good. At the beginning, your father was very enthusiastic to help them. If you catch the prey, you will share it with them.
But later, after a long time, the taste changed. Although your father did not reveal his identity as a practitioner, the villagers felt that your father was very powerful.
Just go out for a day, and the prey you catch is equivalent to the harvest of others for several months, and it is not life-threatening, it is very easy..." Mrs. Long sighed.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Long Chen's mouth: "Then, they became dependent on their father: you are so powerful, just run a few more times, anyway, you hunt a lot, and you can't finish it yourself, so it should be given to us. ."
Mrs. Long nodded, obviously Long Chen knew the result when he heard the beginning.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "This is a kind of moral kidnapping. People who feel strong should contribute more, and those who are rich should spread more money.
They don't know that with this kind of thinking, without the sense of crisis and urgency, they will become a swarm of parasites.
If one day, the parasite is lost, their fate will eventually go to extinction, others can help you for a while, but not for the rest of your life.
The father is doing the right thing, if they rely too much on the father, they will eventually become lazy.
But I believe that when my father left, he must have suffered a lot of abuse. Hehe, helping once is a good person, after 10,000 times, as long as he doesn't help once, he is an unforgivable wicked person.
Taking the help of others as a matter of course, not knowing gratitude is a common problem in this world. "Long Chen said lightly.
"Chen'er, you have really grown up and know so many things."
Mrs. Long watched Long Chen talk eloquently, and every word pointed directly to human nature, which made Mrs. Long feel that she was a willful child at first, but now she has matured too much.
"Mother, you are going to order food, I'll go to my father, let's get together as a family, but I'm still thinking about your cooking in my dreams." Long Chen smiled.
"Okay, mother will make some of your favorite spring bamboo shoots and stuffed meat." Mrs. Long agreed with a smile, turned and walked into the thatched cottage.
The little girl took Long Chen's medicinal pill and had a great time playing. She was a little fascinated, and even ignored Long Chen.
In desperation, Long Chen had no choice but to walk to the river by himself. (To be continued)
