Wuming looked at the sleeping children on the ground and fell into deep thought. He had just checked that these children were healthy and had no major problems. The reason why they were unconscious now might be because these monkeys had eaten some herbal medicine that made people sleepy.
At this time, Wuming seemed to have thought of something and went to the waterfall. Through the flowing water curtain, he discovered that there was something wrong with the waterfall. There was a huge cave. The mandrill jumped out of the cave behind the waterfall.
There may be an opportunity in the cave as to why this mandrill can embark on the path of cultivation. If he can get this opportunity, he may be able to improve his cultivation. Then the chance of revenge may be much higher.
But... Wuming looked at the children behind him and turned back. Sure enough, he was still worried about leaving a few children in the wilderness. If he went into the cave and came back to find that the children were lost or eaten by wild beasts, he would not It's better to go back to Qingshui Town and explain to Zhao Rui and the others.
There were a total of three children on the ground. In addition to the two children Zhao Rui and the others mentioned at the beginning, there was one more child. They must have been caught earlier. Wuming tied one of the children behind his back with a rope, lifted one in one hand, and headed back the way he came.
Zhao Rui and Ke Zhenxing were pacing back and forth anxiously at the intersection at the foot of the mountain. They had seen Wuming running away with the monkey so quickly and disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye. This made the group of them very anxious, but it was already getting late. There was nothing they could do. They couldn't light torches in the mountains and forests, otherwise they would easily set the mountain on fire. Even if they escaped, their children would probably die inside, so they had no choice but to withdraw and wait for Wuming to come back at the intersection. .
"Boss Zhao, do we still have to wait? How about we go back now and wait until early tomorrow morning to go into the mountains to find someone?" Wu Yong on the side felt that Zhao Rui was so anxious but couldn't think of a way, and felt that it was not a big deal. Others were discussing whether Wuming had run away.
Let’s not talk about the children. Although Wuming only met them today and had conflicts at the beginning, they were the ones who invited them to help. If something happened, they would feel guilty inside. Wuming is still so young. .
Zhao Rui stopped when he heard this, with a look of embarrassment on his face. It seemed like this was the best way at the moment, but wouldn't it be very unfair if Wuming came out and couldn't see them.
Just when Zhao Rui was still considering whether to go back, someone around him suddenly exclaimed: "It's coming out! Someone is coming out!"
Zhao Rui quickly looked around and saw a figure slowly walking out of the shadows. Zhao Rui finally saw through the faint light of the moon that it was Wuming.
Seeing Wuming coming back, Zhao Rui hurriedly greeted him. The man who just now was saying that Wuming had run away immediately shut up. Before Zhao Rui could reach Wuming, Ke Zhenxing had already hurried over and took it from Wuming's hand. He passed a child and quickly touched his body with his hands, fearing that he was missing an arm or a leg.
Wuming put down the other child in his hands and the child on his back and handed them over to others, and started talking to Zhao Ruixian who was about to say something. The parents of the remaining two children were very excited to see their children back.
But other people who had lost their children looked disappointed when they saw their own children. One of them walked up to Wuming and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he heard Zhao Rui ask: "Master, are you okay? All Are all your children here?"
The dark-faced man's heart was lifted.
"I'm fine. All the children I saw are here. As for the ones that were lost earlier, I don't know."
The last hope was pinned on Wuming, but at this moment it seemed as if the sky had fallen, and the man with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky sat slumped on the ground.
Wuming was attracted by his movement, and before he could say anything, he heard Zhao Rui speak first: "This eldest brother's child was lost three days ago. He has worked hard all his life and cultivated the land for so many years, and finally got a wife to hold him." Child, it's a pity that the child was lost like this." Zhao Rui looked at the man with sympathy in his eyes.
At that time, Wuming only saw the body of one child and did not know if any other children were still alive.
But Wuming didn't tell them this, first because he was afraid that they would be in pain when they heard the child's body appeared, and also because he was afraid that if he gave them hope but was disappointed, they would suffer a bigger blow.
Zhao Rui looked at Wuming and asked, "I wonder, Master, do you have any other plans tonight?"
Wuming shook his head. He had been living in the mountains and forests for more than two months, and his clothes were in tatters. When they first met, Zhao Rui and others regarded him as a child-stealing human trafficker.
"Great!" Zhao Rui was very happy, but then he realized that he had made a mistake and kept silent.
"Huh?" Wuming looked at Zhao Rui strangely. Are you so happy to know that he has nowhere to go?
"Uh, I'm sorry for being rude. In fact, I am the owner of a martial arts gym in Qingshui Town. I was invited by brothers to help catch human traffickers today. I feel that I am extremely skilled, but after fighting with you, I was shocked to realize that the gods wanted to After some more exchanges, I wanted to invite the young master to the martial arts gym as a guest." Zhao Rui gave an explanation.
Wuming, who understood, knew what Zhao Rui meant. He saw that he easily defeated him, so he wanted to exchange his so-called martial arts experience with him.
But what Zhao Rui didn't know was that Wuming didn't have the martial arts experience he thought. It was just because his physical fitness had greatly improved after practicing. In his eyes, Zhao Rui and the others were extremely slow, so Wuming simply said a few times. Just defeated him.
However, Wuming readily agreed to Zhao Rui's request. Firstly, he was too dirty after sleeping in the open air for two months. He might as well find a place to repair himself. Also, he had not yet taken the clothes Ke Zhenxing had given him. Secondly, There might be something in the mandrill's cave that could improve his strength, so Wuming followed Zhao Rui and others to Qingshui Town.
When Wuming followed Zhao Rui to the martial arts gym, the two young men guarding the door respectfully bowed forward with clasped fists and said, "Master of the gym."
"Yes." Zhao Rui nodded, then looked at Wuming and said, "This young master is my distinguished guest. If there are any instructions, you must obey them."
"Yes!" Both young men obeyed Zhao Rui's words. Although they were curious about the identity of the young man in tattered clothes, after all, it was the order of their own owner, so they just had to obey.
Zhao Rui led Wuming through the gate, turned to the courtyard next door and said, "This courtyard is the best in my martial arts school. Will the young master stay here tonight?"
Wuming didn't ask too much, and he readily agreed after just two glances.
"It's getting late now, so I won't disturb the young master. I'll leave first? If the young master needs something, just call someone to take care of it." After saying that, Zhao Rui called someone to the other side of the hut. Seeing that Wuming had nothing else to say, Zhao Rui Just left first.
It seemed that he was a servant of the martial arts studio. Wuming didn't say anything and just ordered him to boil a pot of hot water for him to take a bath later.
When Wumingji immersed his whole body in the hot water, he felt very comfortable. After spending so much time in the mountains and forests, it was so comfortable to take a hot bath now.
When Wuming finished washing and put on the clothes given by the servant, he felt relaxed. He picked up a chair and brought it to the yard. He sat on it and looked at the stars. The stars in the sky twinkled, and Wuming felt peaceful in his heart.
Ever since the big changes happened in Lishan Town, he hadn't felt as relaxed as he did now for a long time. After taking a deep breath, Wuming carefully took stock of what he had to do next.
Tomorrow we will go to the mandrill's cave to take a look. Once things are done here, we should continue our journey to the Imperial Capital of Yan.
Feeling that it was quite late, Wuming went into the house and sat on the bed to start today's practice. He urgently needed strong practice to avenge his relatives in Lishan Town.
When the sun rose from behind the mountain, it didn't take long for someone to knock on Wuming's door. Wuming opened his eyes, stopped running, and shouted out the door: "What's wrong?"
"Young Master, it's me, Zhao Rui, have you gotten up?" Zhao Rui's voice sounded outside the door. When the door opened, Zhao Rui saw the neatly dressed Wuming and admired: "Young Master is not only extraordinary in skill, but also extremely handsome. This makes me feel ashamed." Zhao Rui originally felt that Wuming was very young from his voice yesterday, but when he saw him today, he discovered that he was several years younger than he thought.
Hearing Zhao Rui's compliments, Wuming was speechless. When they first met, he brought a bunch of people to arrest him, but now his attitude has changed.
"Okay, stop bragging, what's the matter with you?" Wuming asked Zhao Rui why he came so early.
"I would like to ask the young master for advice." Zhao Rui cupped his fists and said.
Wuming rolled his eyes, Zhao Rui came to him so early in the morning just to fight with him? Knowing that he can't be beaten, but still coming to ask for a beating, maybe he has a masochistic tendency?
"Okay, let's stay here." Wuming agreed to the martial arts fanatic. After all, Wuming was now living in his martial arts gym, and it was hard for Wuming to offend his face.
Finally, at the dining table in the cafeteria, a group of martial arts disciples were holding chopsticks, but none of them made any next move. Their heads were all looking in the same direction. Two people were sitting there, none other than Wuming and Zhao Rui.
All the disciples looked at Zhao Rui's face in shock. They saw that Zhao Rui's face was bruised and purple. He was very miserable. The most powerful master in the disciples' hearts was actually beaten like this, and it was so cruel to be beaten like this. He also nodded and bowed very respectfully to the young man.
Originally, Wuming didn't want to beat Zhao Rui so badly, but since the martial arts idiot fell down and got up again and again, Wuming had no choice but to focus on making him feel comfortable.
After Wuming finished his breakfast, he walked out of the door and left the martial arts gym. He told Zhao Rui that he would go to the mandrill's place again to see if there were any children still there. As for the cultivation matters, of course It cannot be revealed easily.
When Wuming came to the spring under yesterday's waterfall again, he was surprised that the mandrill's body was missing. He wondered if it was the group of monkeys or other wild animals that carried the body away?
Forget it, Wuming shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and jumped into the cave behind the waterfall. Wuming was accustomed to the darkness of the cave, so he took out a fire folder and lit a fire to illuminate the darkness.
