In the dark night, a huge bright moon hangs high in the sky. From time to time, dark clouds drift through it. Like a shy girl, she hides in the clouds and then lifts the mysterious veil, revealing her charming face and covering the earth with it.
It has a hazy silver-gray coat.
Nowadays, the country roads no longer have the bustle and bustle of the day. Instead, they are extremely quiet. You can only hear your own footsteps and the croaking of frogs.
Walking on such an extremely quiet road, Shaoyu couldn't help but shudder. It must be said that being too quiet would make people feel uncomfortable.
"Wow, Crescent Town, we've finally arrived."
Under the faint moonlight, the large characters "Crescent Town" engraved on the stone tablet not far ahead were clearly visible. After reading this, the girl's face was full of excitement and she couldn't help but scream.
Looking at the three characters "Crescent Town", Shaoyu felt happy. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings. After all, this is his hometown. He has grown up here since he was a child, and he knows the environment of the town very well. Still.
I remember that when my father sent me to school in the city, I cried a lot because I didn’t want to leave my hometown. For this, my father also scolded me severely. Because my temper was very stubborn at the time, the more he blamed me, the more he became more and more angry.
I was disobedient, but in the end my kind mother persuaded me, and it can be said that she coaxed and deceived me into the Holy Light Academy. Thinking of this reminded me of the pillar of my heart, the one who always strictly demands me - my father.
Thinking of his father who was always strict with him, his gentle and kind mother, and his lovely younger brother, Shaoyu wanted to run home immediately, but after walking for such a long time, his body was already exhausted, and he was helpless.
I could only walk home slowly.
"Hey, it seems like it's raining?" The girl looked at everyone and said in confusion.
"Well…"
Shaoyu, who was slightly surprised, raised his head high and faced the sky. Several crisp sounds of "tick-tock, tick-tock" rang in his ears. "Sure enough, it's raining, and it seems to be windy." Shaoyu murmured.
murmured.
"Well, judging from this situation, there should be a heavy rain?" Lin Lin on the side said thoughtfully.
"Then we'd better leave quickly, otherwise we might be caught in the rain when we go back!" the girl said with a serious look on her face.
After hearing this, everyone nodded and quickly walked towards Crescent Town...
After a while, they came to the intersection of the paths. Since Shaoyu's house and Lin's house happened to be on two opposite paths, it was time to say goodbye. Accompanied by the roaring sound from time to time, the rain at this time was lighter than before.
It seems to be much denser, and tiny raindrops are constantly rolling down from the tips of everyone's hair...
"Brother Shaoyu, let's separate here!" A pair of beautiful big eyes revealed the feeling of reluctance.
"Well, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, so we'd better go back as soon as possible!" Shaoyu nodded, then turned around briskly and ran towards his home...
"Remember to come and play with me when you have time." Looking at the boy's retreating back, the girl shouted in a sweet voice.
"Yes, I will..." Shaoyu, who was slowly walking away, paused, turned his head and responded loudly. After saying that, he turned around and ran away, disappearing into the rainy night after a while...
"Okay, stop looking, it's time for us to set off." Looking at Shaoyu who had disappeared, Lin Lin turned to his sister and said, and then left the place together.
Shaoyu, who was running in the rainy night, was exhausted, and he looked sloping as if he was in danger of falling at any time. But when he thought that he would be home soon to see his long-awaited parents, his whole body felt like he was on stimulants.
, running wildly forward...
"Dang Dang Dang"
Shaoyu finally came to his door, panting and knocking on the wooden door hurriedly. Maybe it was because the sound of rain was too loud to drown out the knocking. After waiting outside for a long time, no one came to open the door. The young man couldn't bear his temper.
Yu started shouting.
"Huh? Dad, how come I vaguely heard my son calling us?" A middle-aged woman in the room asked in confusion.
"Impossible, maybe you miss your son too much and have an illusion?" the middle-aged man said slightly questioningly.
"I heard it again. It's definitely not an illusion. If you don't believe me, listen carefully." The woman said firmly with excitement.
"Hey, it seems really..." Before the man could finish his words, the woman jumped up, pushed open the door, and ran out the door in a hurry.
After a while, the woman ran back again, but she was not alone. Behind her was a boy who was soaked and looked like a drowned rat.
Seeing his father Sun Lei, who was always the same as before, Shaoyu felt very complicated at this moment. His father, who had always been full of energy and refused to accept his old age, and who had always been selfless for the family, now had a stream-like expression on his face.
The wrinkles and the vibrant black hair have been diminishing day by day, replaced by stagnant white hair. The ruthless years have eroded the haggard man in front of him. When he thinks of this, he thinks of his own strength that has not made any progress.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of guilt surged into my heart, and two tears kept rolling in my slightly red eyes.
Looking at his mother, she is much better than his father. Her beautiful face and pure and refined temperament are like those of an angel. She still gives people a gentle, kind and amiable feeling.
"Why are you just standing there stupidly? Take a shower quickly and go into the house to change your clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold!" the mother said with a smile.
"Um"
Shaoyu nodded excitedly and ran into the back room happily.
"Keep your voice down, don't wake up my brother!" the worried mother warned again.
"Haha, it feels so good to have someone caring about you. Maybe this is the warmth of home." A low voice came out of the boy's mouth.
I have to say that although he came from a poor family, he lived very happily in such an ordinary life! Maybe this is the life he wants.
After taking a shower and putting on clean clothes, I felt a lot more relaxed and happy. I was no longer tired from before and walked happily to the outhouse...
"It's raining so hard, why did you suddenly run back from the college? What happened?" Sun Lei asked with a solemn face when he saw his son walking over.
"No, it's the college's holiday. I was eager to see you, so I rushed back in the heavy rain." Faced with his father's question, Shaoyu explained playfully.
Hearing this, Sun Lei, who had always had a serious expression, could not help but reveal a smile that he had not seen for a long time. No matter whether his son was sincere or not, as a parent, his heart felt warm after listening to it. Maybe this is the family affection that blood is thicker than water!
"Oh, it's a holiday. That means your test has been completed. Have you made any progress in your results?" Sun Lei asked with a smile and a look of expectation.
The sudden question immediately made Shaoyu panic. He didn't dare to raise his head to see his father. He lowered his head and made a low-pitched sound. He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Seeing this situation, the experienced Sun Lei had already guessed, "This kid must not have exercised well!" Even so, Sun Lei was not disappointed. After all, the child was still young and did not understand the importance of strength.
Maybe things will get better when you grow up a little! Then he sighed, "Hey, when will you grow up and become more sensible?"
Shaoyu, who was not very sensible yet, laughed twice and said perfunctorily, "Hey, I will definitely work hard next time!"
"Boom"
First there was a bolt of lightning across the sky, and then there was a loud noise, as if the earth was shaking. Shaoyu in the house was also startled by the huge thunder, and couldn't help but trembled in surprise.
He looked out the window and murmured, "How come the rain is so heavy today? It seems to be more ferocious than any heavy rain in previous years!"
"Well, it's quite big. It's getting late now. Let's rest my son. I'll get up early tomorrow morning to exercise." Sun Lei stared at Shaoyu and shouted.
"Dong dong dong, open the door, open the door quickly, or you can rush in!"
Just when the family was about to wash up and go to sleep, they suddenly heard faint shouts outside the door. Listening carefully to the sounds outside, you can tell that there should be a group of strangers outside, and they look unkind.
Sun Lei suddenly straightened his face and said in a low voice, "You all stay in the room and don't go out. I'll go take a look." After that, he walked out the door.
"Well, then be careful and don't have any conflicts with others." Mother said worriedly.
Shaoyu, who was a little scared, went over to hold his mother's hand, as if he could find a sense of security. His mother also stroked Shaoyu's hair with her hands and comforted him, "It's okay, don't be afraid, your father is a level six soldier!"
At this moment, a group of people, all with ferocious expressions on their faces, rushed in and glanced at everyone with cold and ruthless eyes.
"The children are still young, and I am the only strong man in the family. If you want to arrest me, arrest me!" Sun Lei said proudly.
"Search carefully!" The middle-aged man at the head ignored Sun Lei's words and ordered the people next to him.
After saying that, a group of people rushed into the back room. Behind the door, under the bed, and in the cupboard, every corner that could hide someone was left untouched. At this time, the room was turned into a mess, and all the good things were looted, as if
This was not a search at all but a robbery.
When he saw that there was nothing valuable left to take, one of the men ran over and shouted, "Report to the captain, there is only a little boy of about seven or eight years old in the house, and there is no one else."
"Okay, take this man away!" the middle-aged man said lightly, and then looked at his mother with greedy eyes.
After seeing this, Sun Lei secretly yelled "No!" and at the same time shouted to Shaoyu, "Go back to the room quickly!" After saying that, he no longer cared about other people, his whole body exploded, he broke away from the two people who captured him, and shouted loudly
Come with a punch.
With a "bump", the unprepared middle-aged man was punched to the ground.
The surrounding soldiers were also stunned. Due to the sudden incident, they had no time to take any action, and the captain was attacked by surprise. Seeing this situation, before the middle-aged man could give orders, a group of people surrounded him...
Sun Lei, who was surrounded by a group of soldiers, did not panic too much. He used all his strength and moves to fight. In the chaotic scene, people screamed or flew to the ground from time to time. Although a group of people was obviously not Sun Lei's opponent, after all, both sides
It was difficult for him to fight with four punches, and Sun Lei suffered many injuries on his body, but he still persisted.
Shaoyu, who was hiding in the back room, watched all this in horror through the crack in the door. He was so anxious that he could not do anything to help his father. He could only silently pray for his father in his heart, hoping that his father, the only pillar of the family, could survive.
Stop and fight off those evil people...
The captain who had just been punched by Sun Lei slowly stood up, wiped the bloodshot eyes at the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Haha, I didn't expect to meet not only a beauty, but also a sixth-level warrior in this humble courtyard. I
Your luck is really good!”
The middle-aged man with an excited face shouted "Get out of here, let me do it!" and then joined the battle.
Sun Lei also heard the shouting here. He drifted away from the corner of his eye and saw the other party's fast foot kicking towards him. He was startled and subconsciously dodged to the side...
He kicked the cabinet with a "bump" sound, and then the entire cabinet fell into pieces and scattered all over the room.
The middle-aged man who kicked in the air was obviously very angry, and then punched him again...
Soon enough, Sun Lei, who had just dodged and had not yet stabilized his body, saw the opponent coming at him again. He had no time to dodge, so he also raised his fist and faced him.
With a "bump" sound, the two fists collided, and sparks actually appeared.
In an instant, Sun Lei was knocked back a few steps. One arm was in unbearable pain, and blood dripped from time to time. What was even weirder was that there were burn marks on his hand. On the other hand, the captain only stood up for a moment, and then stabilized.
He lost his figure and looked like a normal person. It was obvious that the opponent was very strong, most likely a ninth-level warrior, and he also practiced the power of fire element.
Seeing that Sun Lei was seriously injured, all the soldiers rushed forward with a tacit understanding and captured Sun Lei.
"Hmph, a sixth-level warrior who has not cultivated any power of law dares to confront me. He is really overestimating his capabilities! If not because you are still useful, I would have destroyed you long ago!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily.
"Don't bully my father!!!" Shaoyu, who couldn't stand it anymore, suddenly ran out, stepped forward and hit the middle-aged man with his weak fist. The middle-aged man, who seemed a little impatient, pinched him
Immediately, Shaoyu's neck was raised high. For a moment, Shaoyu's young face turned red instantly, and he felt that his limbs were weak and it was difficult to breathe.
In desperation, I saw my mother running over quickly, grabbing the middle-aged man's arm, and biting it down hard. "Ah!" the middle-aged man yelled angrily, and as the pain on his arm came, he felt helpless.
He had no choice but to leave Shaoyu behind. Immediately, he subconsciously waved his strong arms and wrists and threw his mother away. With a "bump", he fell to the ground, and bright red blood flowed down his forehead...
"No!" Sun Lei shouted, trying hard to get out of the restraints, and the heart-rending cry echoed throughout the room...
Such an accident was unexpected by the middle-aged man. He originally just wanted to have fun, but he never thought that such an accident would happen. After sighing secretly, he said to the soldiers beside him, "Huh, it's her."
You are looking for death, but you can't blame me, take that man away and close the team!"
Shaoyu, who was still heartbroken, looked at his father who was about to be taken away. He still didn't know what the purpose of those people was. He instinctively ran out and chased after him, shouting "Father, father!" However, he was greeted by someone.
The other one was kicked to the ground and fell into the rain.
Sun Lei, who was still extremely sad, turned around and shouted to Shaoyu, "Good son, listen to your father, don't think about revenge, work hard to live, concentrate on your cultivation, and take good care of your brother, otherwise your father will not forgive you even if he dies."
!”
Shaoyu, who fell in the heavy rain, stuck his hands into the mud and tried to get up, but found that he could not stand up. He was heartbroken and watched his mother being forced to death and his father being taken away, but he
I couldn't do anything, I could only watch all of this happen silently. In the final analysis, it was all because of my own weakness and incompetence. When I thought of this, a strong desire that I had never had before rushed into my mind from the depths of my heart, that is, to
