Chapter 276 Goal
"Here comes Grandpa!"
The childish voice sounded as the old man's voice fell, and the child's bare feet were seen chasing the disappearing afterglow of the setting sun. He took a step, and a small area of darkness dimmed behind him.
"What shall we eat tonight?" The boy was very fast and appeared beside the old man a moment later, helping him clean up the farmland.
The boy was full of energy. After a while, he walked out of the cultivated field with a few piles of grass and trees in his arms. He placed them next to the pile of grass and trees in front of him. He looked at the pile of grass and trees that was taller than others. I compared and measured it, it looked like three or four of them put together. Then he ran back to the ground and arched his back. He circled back and forth several times, holding the pile of hay taller than himself and placing it on the first pile. Soon, it was actually a few points taller than the pile next to him.
"Grandpa, let's eat. I'll finish it for you."
The old man who was still farming looked up when he heard the words. There were no weeds on the farming things in front of him.
"Tiger beware!"
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a roar from the top of the mountain and a large number of rocks rolling down. The old man quickly stood up from the ground and hugged the back of a cliff in front of Huzi to avoid the rubble.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked toward the mountain peak. He saw rocks roaring, and bursts of dust rose up. The mountain wind blew by, and the dust also dissipated half of it. Hazy figures suddenly appeared in the old man's pupils.
In front of the rolling rocks, there were men wearing animal clothes and skins. They opened the way with their bodies and smashed the blocking stones in front, causing the collapse of a certain part of the mountain range.
The place where the opponent's figure rushed towards was his grandfather and grandson...
"Old man Zhou!"
boom--! !
The leader of the man in the beast suit punched the rocks that were rolling down behind him and exploded them. The huge rocks suddenly scattered in all directions. During the explosion, stone fragments were thrust into the hiding place of the old man and the child with the force of the wind.
Looking at the stone pieces embedded in the cliff beside him, the old man sighed softly:
"Huzi, please stay here for now. Grandpa will come back as soon as he goes."
He touched his ear and felt a warmth in his palm. He wiped it on the hem of his clothes and stepped forward without waiting for the child behind him to respond.
"Masters, I wonder why you are here to see me?" The old man hunched his body, took three steps forward and kowtowed, then lowered his head and asked aloud, with flattery and humility in his eyes.
"This food isn't even enough for us to eat. Let's grow more next time." The man in the fursuit looked around, covered his nose with his hands, and fanned the wind in front of his nose with his hand. There was a slight frown on his face, "You are piled up. What kind of crap is this? It stinks so much!"
The old man bowed slightly, only nodded but said nothing.
"We are not here for anything else. You have lived in the mountains all year round. Have you heard any strange noises?" A person behind the man in the animal clothing said, just like the person in front, he was full of anger.
"Sir, in the middle of the night a few days ago, in the mountains in the northwest, I heard a roaring sound that lasted for about half a stick of incense."
Old man Zhou bowed his head to compose and pointed in a direction.
"snort!"
Several men in animal clothes didn't stop either. After the old man pointed the way, they immediately left without stopping at this place. However, the old man kept kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up for a long time.
Seeing this, the child hurriedly ran from the cliff to the old man and helped him up. The heavy body made Hu Zi stagger a little, but he still helped him safely to the chair.
"Grandpa, they have come three times this year." The child murmured, and he pursed his lips.
"Eat, Huzi."
Without saying anything else, the old man reached out and stroked the child's head a few times, then patted his back to let him into the house.
"okay."
………………
Zhong Lingxi leaned against a big tree in the forest, opened his mouth and took a bite of the fruit in his hand, and the wanton sweetness suddenly enveloped the small area.
But Zhou Yuanyi in front of him was still sitting cross-legged, motionless.
Zhong Lingxi's eyes drifted up. If he hadn't seen the drop of water on his forehead still there, he might have died sitting here like Zhou Yuanyi. She had fixed a lot of things in the past two days. From the first sound to the sweet fruit now, she could not attract the man's attention. Just when she was waiting for the next move, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the distance. , looking out of place in this sunset.
Before Zhong Lingxi could see clearly the source of the roaring sound, he saw bursts of dust flying, and the target was right on his side.
"Death to the offender."
On the side, Zhou Yuanyi, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up at this moment, instructing Zhong Lingxi to be his executioner.
Hearing this, Zhong Lingxi wiped away the water drops on his head and said nothing.
I'm all wondering if I need to grill some meat to stimulate it.
"Judging from the momentum of their coming, I am no match for them now." Zhong Lingxi said to herself again, looking at the water droplets on her forehead again, counting the time, this was her third time Look up.
Then he looked at Zhou Yuanyi aside and motioned for him to say something. From the current point of view, Zhou Yuanyi is obviously able to sense everything happening around him, but he simply does not want to pay attention to her. Or maybe it's because of something that prevents me from leaving...
The only thing that can make it impossible for him to leave is... he has reached an important stage of recovering his strength.
"With you as a drop of water, I can't use my full strength." Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Zhong Lingxi pointed directly to his forehead.
Zhou Yuanyi still remained silent.
When the distant roar came, Zhong Lingxi no longer relied on the big tree, turned around and sat on the ground minding his own business.
She glanced to the side with her peripheral vision. As the roar became louder and more intense, the faint golden light around Zhou Yuanyuan was gradually twisting and turning, like a candlelight floating in the wind and rain.
She sat quietly on the ground, comforting the trembling Nanfeng Sword at her waist. There was no trace of panic in her eyes. She was betting on Zhou Yuanyi's compromise. As for the restlessness of the Nanfeng Sword, she did not dare to draw the sword and take action against it. The golden light seemed to be fluttering, but in fact it was very solid.
Suddenly, the water droplets floating on his forehead suddenly disappeared, and the things that had been affecting his mind instantly bounced away. Zhong Lingxi felt much lighter, and the speed of his internal energy also accelerated a bit.
"It's just gone?"
High on the mountain peak, the three people who had been hiding in it were extremely surprised. The water drop that left them helpless disappeared with just a few words from Zhong Lingxi. After confirming that Zhou Yuanyi had really removed the water drop, the three The people moved instantly and scattered around, hiding not far from Zhou Yuanyi.
