Chapter 15 Willow Willow Jade
Bayu Mountain is named after the jade bamboos all over the mountains, which run across the east and west for 200 miles. Although monsters are rampant in the mountains, there are many precious medicinal materials. Therefore, many mortal villages gather, including big and small villages, with only hundreds of people, and the larger ones gather tens of thousands of people, which are called Zhuang or Ji.
By practicing martial arts, mortals can become acquired masters who fight ten, or even congenital masters who fight one hundred, but they can eventually become physical mortals. As long as these mortal gathering places are invaded by monsters in the mountains, hundreds of deaths and injuries will occur at the worst, and even the village will be destroyed and people will be killed.
Therefore, the ordinary villages around Yulin Town will seek the protection of the three major monk families, and are called affiliated villages. These monsters are valuable in themselves. Moreover, the affiliated villages will pay a considerable reward to the monk families who shelter them every year. Both sides can take their own needs and do not suffer any losses.
Liuzhuang has been under the Li family for more than a hundred years and is said to be dependent, but in fact, the Li family did not participate in their own daily management, and the Liu family in Zhuangzhong is fully autonomous.
Mortals are not like monks. For the sake of immortality or strength, they usually go to get married and have children until they are about fifty years old. They get married and have started their own businesses in less than twenty years. So far, the Liu family has also been prosperous and has lasted for six generations of children.
Liu Mu and Liu Yu are twin siblings from the sixth generation of Liu's direct line. Although they are direct line, their treatment is not as good as that of many mortals with foreign surnames in Zhuangzi.
The reason is that the two were just the product of their father's drunkenness, which was completely unexpected. The father had no feelings for them. His mother Liu Yunniang was originally a maid in the clan. After giving birth to them, she was weak. After being bullied and humiliated by the jealous mistress Wang, she died in depression, leaving the brother and sister to depend on each other for life.
At that time, the brother and sister were less than two years old, so they barely survived by their uncle Liu Shencai. However, the mistress Wang still refused to let the two go, and even beat her uncle Liu Shen every few days.
The two of them lived in an inconspicuous small wood-room on the flank of the Liu clan, which was inconspicuous. At this moment, the thin sister Liu Yu was clattering her mouth, while thrusting her shriveled belly, and tearfully told her brother Liu Mu that she was hungry.
"Yu'er didn't cry. My uncle said he would come back to get food for us and he would be able to eat soon."
He said he was his brother, but Liu Mu was only eight years old. He was just one step ahead of his sister and became his brother. The two were the same age. However, the cold eyes and humiliation he experienced since childhood forced Liu Mu to grow up before his sister.
After hearing what his brother said, Liu Yu calmed down a little, but her stomach was still hungry and whimpering.
After waiting quietly for a while, a staggering sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and joy suddenly appeared on his face. After seeing the person clearly, he changed to a strong look of fear and worry.
A middle-aged man in rags and skinny clothes fell into the room directly from outside the door and lay on the ground, unconscious. The blood marks drawn from dozens of braids on his back were constantly seeping with bright red blood. It was his uncle Liu Shen.
"Uncle, uncle, wake up quickly." Liu Mu rushed forward and turned Liu Shen over. However, his young mind had already keenly noticed his uncle's situation, and it might be a bad thing.
Tears as big as Liu Yudou were already flowing out. I couldn't help but use my little hands to wipe the blood oozing from Liu Shen's back to the wound, as if I felt that this would delay my uncle's death.
"Uncle, it's Yu'er that bad. Yu'er shouldn't be greedy and she's hungry. Is that bad woman calling her servants beat you again? Uncle..."
The two of them burst into tears, and Liu Shen's consciousness gradually recovered a little, but the injuries on his body were too severe and he still couldn't move. He just raised his hand gently and wiped away the tears from the corners of Liu Yu's eyes.
"Yu'er is right, it's because my uncle is useless. Your mother entrusts me to take care of you before she dies. It seems that my uncle still can't do it."
When the brother and sister heard their uncle's words, their hearts trembled even more.
In their memory, my uncle has always been a positive and optimistic person. If my mistress Wang is bullying and tortured, and how to withhold the food from the two of them, my uncle can always find a way to bring it back for food. In the cruel life, only my uncle can bring them a little warmth.
Will this last trace of warmth be taken away by those people?
A strong hatred appeared in Liu Mu's eyes. He stood up and wanted to walk out of the woodshed, but was grabbed by a big hand as thin as a skeleton.
Liu Shen obviously realized what he was going to do, and suddenly burst out with abnormal force. He straightened up and grabbed Liu Mu who was about to rush out.
"Don't be impulsive, Muer.
I know you want to avenge me, but what is the difference between you going here now and dying?"
The blood in Liu Mu's head immediately faded away, and the strong anger made him lose his mind for a moment.
As the ruler of Liuzhuang, although the Liu family is not an immortal family like the Li family, there are five innate realm masters in the tribe, let alone the two children. Even the acquired realm clan members, dealing with them is no different from crushing two ants.
"You uncle said that the poisonous woman in Wang is impossible to give you a way out. My uncle has been dealing with him over the years and has repeatedly wanted to beg your father, but he ignored him at all. Now my uncle can no longer survive. If you continue to stay in the clan, the day of your life will be not far away.
So, run, Mueryuer, if you want to find a way to escape, you must escape..."
After saying a long story, Liu Shen seemed to have used all his last strength. He suddenly froze and slowly fell to the ground, and his arms collapsed from Yu'er's face weakly.
"Uncle...Uncle, uncle, don't die, Yu'er must be obedient, Yu'er will never be greedy again, uncle...wuwu..."
Liu Yu couldn't accept the fact that his uncle on the ground would leave her forever at this moment. His tear glands suddenly burst out, and his whole body trembled violently, cried and lay on his uncle's body.
Strangely, Liu Mu was motionless at this time, just staring at his uncle blankly. Instead, there seemed to be a strong flame growing in his pupils, and the seeds of revenge were quietly buried in his young heart.
"Yu'er, don't cry! My uncle has left, let's bury my uncle."
The words that were so dull that Liu Yu felt a little unfamiliar with this brother, and the crying sounds became much smaller.
It seemed that he felt a little cold towards his sister. Liu Mu forced a stiff smile on his face, and then carried Liu Shen on the ground with his young body, walked to the yard and started digging soil. His sister Liu Yu also picked up a shovel and helped next to him in obscurity.
"Oh, this old guy is finally dead!"
While the two were digging the land silently to bury Liu Shen, a contemptuous voice came from the side, and a servant walked from the side.
Liu Mu didn't look back. The servant Wang De was sent by the mistress Wang to supervise them. He was extremely obedient. Wang has been watching their brothers and sisters very tightly since childhood, and often squatted outside their yard and stared at them.
Liu Shen also wanted to take their brother and sister out of Liu as soon as possible and go out to survive, but Wang did not let them go at all, as if he wanted to keep them by his side and enjoy torture and bully them slowly.
When Liu Mu heard Wang De call out to Old Man Liu Shen, his heart was filled with anger, but there was no slight fluctuation on his face. Instead, he stopped Liu Yu who wanted to get angry and continued to dig the soil.
The two children ignored him at all, and Wang De suddenly felt a little angry, walked up to grab Liu Mu's neck, and slapped him hard.
"Little bastard, I really regard myself as a young master. I dare to ignore me."
The boy still didn't speak, and the expression on his face was still calm. He just stared at Wang De without any emotion, as if he was looking at a dead person.
This look was extremely calm, but it made Wang De feel cold in his heart. The sweat hairs stood up behind him and threw them away. He walked outside the woodshed yard while clapping his hands.
"Unfortunately, this little bastard is not dumb."
The two siblings continued to dig holes until late at night when they finally buried their uncle Liu Shen. Liu Yu went into the room to rest early, and Liu Mu completed it alone.
Liu Mu finally patted the sealed soil, found a stone to put it on it, and gently carved the four words "Liu Shen's Tomb". Only then did a tear flow out of his eyes, and he murmured softly.
"Uncle, don't worry, Muer swears that no one who bullies us will survive."
Liu Mu walked into the room softly and pulled out a three-inch dagger from the pile of firewood. The dagger was extremely sharp and was the only relic left for him to defend himself during his lifetime.
He tiptoed out of the woodshed again, and Wang De was lying on the chair at the door, saliva flowing all over the floor.
It’s no wonder that Wang De was not vigilant. He has been guarding the two siblings for more than two years. He is two children. In addition, Liu Shen is weak and sickly, and is beaten by their servants day and night. In his eyes, he has no combat power at all. After a long time, Wang De will go to bed directly at night.
In a daze, Wang De felt a smell of fishyness surged into his mind.
"Where are you still slaughtering pigs in the middle of the night!"
After muttering this sentence half-dream and half-awake, Wang De suddenly felt something was wrong, and a tearing feeling came from his neck. He hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw a calm look standing in front of him and staring at him.
Isn't this the little bastard? I stared at me in the middle of the night and did something. Wang Desheng let out a little anger and prepared to stand up and give the willow wood a little color.
A severe pain came from the neck. When Wang De touched it with his hand, a splash of red blood had already flowed to his chest, and then a suffocation came to his face.
A cut of about an inch was flowing out of the neck. The terror caused by suffocation made Wang De want to shout out immediately, but he didn't expect that with a wave of willow wood dagger, he continued to cut into the same wound.
thump
After all, Wang De still didn't say a word and died directly.
"Yu'er, Yu'er, get up..."
In a daze, Liu Yu suddenly heard his brother's voice. He opened his eyes and found that it was still pitch black outside. The brother called him what he was doing and looked at Liu Mu in confusion.
"Brother takes you out of here!"
After saying this, Liu Yu stood up silently and followed Liu Mu. Taking advantage of the night, the two children were still small. They walked through the woodshed and walked specifically in dark hidden places. All the people in Liuzhuang were still immersed in their sleep, and the few patrolers did not notice it.
It was not until the morning of the next day that a passing maid saw the body of Wang De, whose eyes were still open on the ground, and she spoke out in fear and alarmed the Liu clan.
In Liu's backyard, a middle-aged woman with a mean face had a violent chest undulating and her emotions were obviously about to explode. A servant walked quickly into the room and knelt down to report.
"Madam, after searching all over Liuzhuang, I didn't find two people. There were our people in Liuzhuang towards Yulin Town, and they all said they didn't see them passing by."
"Waste, waste, those two little bastards are only eight years old. Wherever they can go, there is no direction to Yulin Town, so I look for Bayu Mountain. If I can't find the little bastard, I will die for me... Go to die!"
The woman's sharp roar made the kneeling people on the ground feel cold behind them. Feeling the anger of the mistress Wang, she hurriedly found a clan servant and quickly chased him towards Bayu Mountain.
Bayu Mountain is hundreds of miles deep in the north and south, and there are not dangers everywhere. For example, the ten miles outside is the outer area where the mortals living at the foot of Bayu Mountain try to collect herbs and hunt.
At this time, Liu Mu was walking amongst him with Liu Yu on his back.
After all, Liu Yu is a girl, and her physical fitness is weaker than Liu Mu. After Liu Mu thought deeply last night, she felt that only Ba Yushan had hope of two people surviving, so she brought her sister to come.
But after all, the journey was long, Yu'er could not walk quickly, and a large amount of blood blisters were ground on her feet. Liu Mu had no choice but to carry her sister on her back, which made her speed even slower.
After walking for two or three hours in a row, the two of them only walked less than seven miles into Bayu Mountain.
After Liu Yu lay on the ground and listened for a while, her face became ugly and she didn't move after getting up.
After a while, I seemed to have made some decisions. Looking at my sister's tender face, I felt a little reluctant, but I still spoke.
"Yu'er, the person sent by the poisonous woman will soon catch up. If we are caught together, we will not be able to survive, so we have to run separately."
"No, Yu'er wants to be with her brother."
"Don't make a fuss. Listen to my brother, let's say that if both of us survive!"
When Liu Yu heard his brother scolding him for the first time, he was suddenly frightened and could only cry and obey his brother's arrangements.
"Yu'er, you keep walking on this road. Brother goes to the other side. If you survive, brother will definitely go back to find you."
Speaking of this, Liu Mu pushed his sister towards the depths of Bayu Mountain, while he walked towards the pursuers sent by the Liu clan outside Bayu Mountain.
The young Liu Yu had not yet figured out his brother's intention, so he just looked back at his brother in three steps and walked slowly with his mouth pouting.
"Yu'er, you must survive."
Liu Mu finally left her sister with a decisive smile. Liu Yu seemed to understand something, and speeded up her pace, regardless of the pain of the blood bubbles on her feet, ran towards the depths of Bayu Mountain.
Seeing that his sister finally disappeared from sight, Liu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He gave up his resistance and collapsed on the ground. After running for a night, he could not hold on.
"Uncle, mother, Muer is about to see you..."
A sense of deaf aroused aroused, Liu Mu felt calm, and his physical pain was no longer as strong as before.
In my ears, the Liu family's pursuers were getting closer and closer.
