The man was chopping firewood with an axe, and the beads of sweat on his bare chest glistened in the sun. The children were running around the yard, jumping with fear. There was no purpose, just excess energy. Occasionally, they moved a piece of firewood away without sending it to the kitchen. , but piled under the fence, as if they were going to form some kind of pattern, but it never took shape. The woman sat in the shade, sewing a few stitches on her clothes, looking up at the man and child, with an indulgent smile on her face, and her heart filled with happiness. Kou San noticed his wife's gaze and swung the ax higher and struck harder. When the ax went down, the firewood was split into two halves. The ax blade sank into the wooden pillar for several inches. It took more force to pull it out, but He didn't care, as if he had endless energy in his body. Mu Yushi left a paper talisman for burning fire. A small piece of paper can be used to make a meal, but Kou San still likes to chop a pile of firewood. The talisman is a good thing, but you can't always rely on it. Be self-reliant. Jiang Huo'er was probably tired of running. He squatted on one side, holding his chin with his hands, watching the ax fall and split the wood. His eyes followed the ax head up and down, watching with great interest. Kou San turned slightly sideways to prevent the separated firewood from falling onto the little guy. After chopping a small pile, he began to feel exhausted and had to stop, breathing heavily. "You have to work so hard to chop firewood." His wife said pitifully, grabbing the wet wipes beside her, "Come here and let me wipe your sweat." Kou San walked towards his wife with a smile. After a few steps, he noticed something was wrong in his wife's eyes and turned around. Looking at it, Jiang Huo'er actually climbed onto the wooden pier, hugged the ax handle with both hands, and pulled hard. Kou San laughed, and his wife said dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up, be careful not to let him fall." "If he can hold the axe" Just when Kou San said half-way, Jiang Huoer actually pulled out the axe. , although the posture is awkward and ridiculous, it doesn¡¯t seem to take much effort. Kou San was startled, ran over in two steps, held the ax in his hand, and tried to take it back, using force for the first time. The ax did not move. The second time he exerted force, the ax was picked up, but Jiang Huo'er did not let go. He also took to the air. "Hey, this little guy is quite energetic, a bit like me when I was a kid." Kou San said with a smile, gently shaking the axe, and Jiang Huoer hung on it and swung around. "Hurry up and put it down. How can he explain to Master Yu if he has such a small child? How will he be a father in the future if he is as reckless as you?" "Master Mu Yu is a weirdo, and the child he brings will definitely It's not easy." Having said that, Kou San still put down the ax and let Jiang Huo'er put his feet on the ground, but the little guy still refused to let go and stubbornly held the ax handle, "You want to chop wood?" "Don't talk nonsense. How can a 20-year-old child chop firewood?" his wife said softly, "Jiang Huo'er, come here and try on your new clothes." Jiang Huo'er was more interested in the ax and refused to let go. Holding the middle position of the ax handle with one hand, "I will hold on and let him play for a while. It's okay. The little guy has suffered before. There is nothing to play with." The wife still wanted to object, but there was a slight pain in her abdomen, so she had no choice but to Shake his head. Kou San held an ax in one hand and a log in the other and placed it on the wooden pier. Aiming the ax blade, "I said yes, you can use it to your advantage." With a snap, the log and the wooden pier below were split into two halves. Kou San staggered forward and was almost thrown out. Looking down at Jiang Huo'er, whose eyes were wide open, he was extremely surprised, "You kid You kid" Jiang Huo'er let go of the ax handle, ran to the shade, and looked at the new clothes. The wife smiled, "So you can understand me." The wife peeled off Jiang Huo'er's old clothes and saw the marks left by the chains on his body. She couldn't help but sigh again, "Who is so cruel that he would abuse Such a young child? Thank you Master Yu for saving him." Putting on his pants first, his wife looked at Jiang Huo'er's back, "What is this word? "That's the talisman written by Mu Yushi for him. It must be good for him." Kou San came over and took a wet wipe to wipe his sweat. He also took a look. "It seems more obvious than the past few days." "The wife dressed Jiang Huo'er, grabbed the wet wipes from her husband, and wiped the mud off Jiang Huo'er's hands and face. Kou San smiled bitterly, foreboding that after his wife gave birth, his status would plummet. . "The ones who abused the little guy must be rogue cultivators. They are looking for Nascent Soul everywhere, so they have no good intentions." Kou San guessed. "Yes." His wife was still wiping the circle mark on Jiang Huo'er's forehead, her eyes full of pity. Jiang Huo'er raised his head slightly, motionless, like a kitten or puppy being tickled. ¡°You¡¯ve wronged the casual cultivator.¡± A voice said. " Guansan and his wife were both shocked. They didn't know anything about the arrival of outsiders. A tall, elegant-looking man walked out from behind the house.?Go straight to the entrance of the courtyard, glance at the chai door, make sure it is closed, and then turn to face the couple and a child by the wall. Jiang Huo'er wanted to rush over, but his wife grabbed him. He didn't use any force and stayed in place. Kou San picked up the steel fork against the wall and walked up to Jiang Huo'er and his wife. He stared at the intruder coldly. He said coldly: "Who are you? Why do you come to my house?" The man was wearing a blue robe, with a bun on his head and a long hairpin. He did not answer Kou San's question and looked around, "You It's a good place to live in a deep valley, where you can enjoy yourself. You can drink from the mountain springs when you're thirsty, and eat fruits and vegetables when you're hungry. There's a small town a few days away from the valley, where you can exchange some supplies. " "I'm a hunter. I eat meat and only occasionally eat wild vegetables. "Kou San was very vigilant. Mu Yushi said before leaving that it would be difficult for ordinary people, even talisman masters and casual cultivators, to enter his home, but this person appeared quietly. His trap and Mu Yushi Even the talismans in the room did not sound the alarm, "Are you a Taoist priest?" "Have you seen a Taoist priest?" the middle-aged man asked. Kou San shook his head. Even in the past peaceful and prosperous times, Taoist priests were rare people. He had never seen them before and didn't care about them. "My place is just a wild ravine. There is nothing worthy of a Taoist priest. What do you want to eat?" I have bacon and bacon here, and I can share some with you, but I have a woman and a child at home, so it¡¯s not convenient for me to stay overnight. Please take the food and leave.¡± The Taoist priest took two steps forward and hissed at the guard dog that kept barking. The dog felt as if it had been hit hard by a stone. It fled back to the den with its tail between its legs and grunted, never daring to come out again. "I really want to take something away when I come here, but it's not food." "Besides meat, I don't have any other good things here. Gold and silver have long been useless. I exchange animal skins for things There are a few pieces of paper. Do you want talismans? They are worth more than animal skins." The Taoist priest gave a short laugh, "You don't just have a few paper talismans here. There are at least seven talismans in effect outside the yard, and there are more talismans inside and outside the house. The steel fork in your hand and the ax there have talismans on them, which is why they are so shiny and like new. As well as your house, the talismans block ants and remove odors If the talismans are worth more than animal skins , You are really a rich man." Kou San knew that the person who came was not good, so he held the steel fork tighter with both hands, "If you can take it, I will give it to you." "Hey, it seems that you have nothing to do with the Taoist priest. You know, we are not interested in Fu Lu." Kou San was silent for a while, "What do you want?" "I want to ask you to do me a favor." Kou San was stunned, "Say it, as long as I can do it. " "I want you to turn around, pick up your pregnant wife, and walk slowly into the house. Don't look back or look outside. That's it." The Taoist priest's voice sounded very friendly and non-threatening. Kou San felt a chill in his heart, "Okay, I'll bring them all into the house." The Taoist smiled and shook his head, "It's not 'them', only your wife." "I can't leave my son outside." Kou San San's voice trembled slightly. "Of course, the relationship between father and son is difficult to let go, even for Taoist priests, but he is not your son. You have only known each other for a few days. A man named Mu Xingqiu brought him to your home." "How do you know? " "Yes, I know, because Mu Xingqiu stole him from me." Kou San's heart sank. He had never heard Master Mu Yu say anything about Jiang Huo'er's origin, but he knew that this child must have something. Strange, maybe it is some kind of Nascent Soul in the legend. The wife who had been hiding behind Kou San suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "The chains you put on him?" "A group of mortals imprisoned him, and I rescued him. He should still remember me." The wife looked down and looked down. Taking a look at Jiang Huo'er, the little guy indeed remembered this Taoist priest. He remembered that he cried bitterly in front of the pool on the mountainside, and he remembered that he used magic to force himself to spit fire, which caused great pain. Jiang Huoer's face was full of anger, and the red circle on his forehead became clearer. The wife no longer had any doubts and pulled Jiang Huo'er behind her, "We are ordinary mortals, you are a Taoist priest with great supernatural powers. If you have the ability, go to Master Mu Yu and ask for someone. We dare not hand over Jiang Huo'er. Otherwise, we can't explain it to Master Mu Yu." Kou San nodded as his wife said. Di Yuanfu, the master of Laoyue Mountain, sighed, "Mortals and annoying people, I really hope you can be more self-aware. This will save you so much trouble. The world is in chaos, and many Taoist priests have become ruthless, but I don't, I don't I like to kill people, especially I don¡¯t like to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Killing makes me depressed. I gave you a chance, but you refused to accept it. In other words, from now on, you are no longer innocent and you are protecting Mu Xing.??, stand on his side and be my enemy. " "Master Mu Yu is a good man. He entrusted Jiang Huo'er to us. You can't even think of taking him away." "Kou San said loudly. He knew that he was no match for the Taoist priest, but he was not particularly clear about the strength gap between the two. To him, the Taoist priest was as powerful as the tiger. The future was always hazy and not worth looking at seriously. , so he will not back down because the future is not good for him. Di Yuanfu smiled and put his hands behind his back. He did not summon any magic weapon, but Kou San put the steel fork in front of him and crouched slightly. , and was ready to fight. At this moment, Jiang Huo'er walked out. His wife didn't hold him, and Kou San didn't have time to stop him. The little guy stood in front of the couple, with his legs separated and his hands on his hips, ready. It seemed more complete. Kou San and his wife did not move, because they were surprised to see that the talisman on Jiang Huoer's back turned red, and the new clothes seemed to be burning.
