The man in green said: "Since you have made your choice, I will not stop you. I have fulfilled my responsibility, so you can take care of yourself." After saying that, his figure flashed like a stream of light and disappeared into the depths of the grassland.
"boom"
A sound of thunder woke up Dugu Baitian from his deep thoughts. "It's going to rain. It's really unpredictable!"
"Crackling" raindrops fell.
He quickly ran towards the tent not far away where there were a few families of herdsmen.
"Excuse me, Auntie, can I take shelter from the rain at your place?"
A middle-aged woman looked out at a typical grassland herdsman with a dark face and a simple smile. "Come in quickly, young man, be careful not to get wet from the rain and get sick." The simple words suddenly warmed Dugu Baitian's heart. Since he left home, he
It's rare to hear such warm words.
The harsh environment makes the herdsmen on the grassland not very wealthy. This is just an ordinary herdsman family. There is a little darkness in the house. It can be seen that the life of this family is not very good. A boy of thirteen or fourteen has just gotten up and is curious.
He looked at Dugu Baitian.
"Auntie, are you and your son the only ones living together?"
"No, your uncle and your eldest brother are out."
"Oh it's so early but it's already raining outside."
"Yeah, there's nothing we can do. Some horses got lost yesterday and they had to look for them early in the morning."
Dugu Baitian deeply understood the hardship of life of grassland herdsmen. He knew that those large livestock were the herdsmen's only wealth.
"Son, you are not from the prairie, are you? Judging from the wind and frost, you must have come to the prairie in an emergency."
He nodded and thought to himself: It's an urgent matter of life and death.
"Look at how tattered your clothes are. If you don't mind wearing one of your elder brother's clothes first." He said and walked inside.
After putting on the herdsmen's clothes with ethnic characteristics, Dugu Baitian looked like a prairie man. He had a tall body and a simple face. Only his eyes occasionally revealed two rays of light, which showed his extraordinaryness.
"Thank you, aunt."
"You're welcome. Anyone who enters the prairie is our guest. Just wait here for me to get you some food."
Dugu Baitian could only sigh in his heart: "What a good man!"
The boy's attention had been diverted from his body to his Blood-weeping Divine Sword. He looked unblinkingly at this very lovable boy with dark skin and shiny eyes.
"Want to see it?"
"Yeah." The boy nodded shyly.
"Be careful, it's very sharp." Dugu Baitian handed the sword over.
After a while, the kind aunt prepared some simple food for him. Although it was not delicious, it felt very delicious in his mouth. In the past few days, he had only eaten some tasteless barbecue, which tasted very bland in his mouth.
There was thunder and lightning and heavy rain outside the tent, and there was a curtain of water between the sky and the earth. A warm fire inside was full of warmth, and Dugu Baitian fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, the thunderstorm outside had not stopped yet. The kind-hearted aunt was uneasy.
The man seemed a little anxious while walking around the house, and occasionally ran to the door to look into the rain.
"Auntie, how can I help?" Dugu Baitian could see the worries of the mother and son. It was already evening and the uncle and brother who had gone out had not returned yet, which must have made the mother and son extremely worried.
"Ah, you're awake. I'm just a little worried about your uncle and the others, but it doesn't matter. They should be back soon."
But the father and son had not returned until after dinner, and the kind-hearted aunt began to feel restless.
"Auntie, tell me uncle which direction they went and I'll go look for them."
"No, you are a foreigner and you are not familiar with everything here. How can I let you look for it?"
"Don't worry, Auntie, you should have seen that I am not an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could I have come to this prairie alone?"
"This..." The simple aunt was really anxious and finally told him the direction in which the father and son were leaving.
When Dugu Baitian left, he said: "Auntie, I hope you won't reveal the news of my appearance here to others. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble for you.
"Okay kid, be careful on the road!"
"Don't worry, auntie."
He turned around and threw himself into the rain. Although the cold rain wet his clothes, he felt warm in his heart. Today, he felt the true love of the world after a long absence.
The sky was completely dark; only the electric light that tore through the night sky occasionally illuminated the hazy outline of the grassland.
He stepped on the divine step and ran quickly on the grassland. His intuition told him that the father and son must have encountered some trouble or danger. For many days, he had been struggling between life and death, between knife, fire, blood and sword.
Traveling back and forth, this aunt whom he met for the first time gave him the warmth after a long absence, which made him feel infinite gratitude. He decided to bring the father and son back safely. "What a devil I am!" He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Dugu Baitian ran in the rain for most of the night and finally saw a faint light in the distance. He sneaked over quietly with a movement in his heart. There were several unfamiliar faces in the room. Everyone was carrying a knife and a sword.
These people are not herdsmen on the grassland.
He thought to himself: "The action is really fast. Even these people have caught up here. Those king-level masters have already arrived, and they may have run ahead of me."
At this time, a person in the room said viciously: "Old guy, why are you so dawdling? Hurry up and get there, your money will be indispensable."
Only then did Dugu Baitian notice that there were a few people in the corner. Several men and women from the grassland were sitting together and looked like a family. There was also a middle-aged man with gray hair and a young man with bloodshot lips.
Sitting on the ground, he was sure that these two people were the people he was looking for.
The middle-aged man said: "Guests from afar, please don't let me kill that horse, okay? That's my favorite horse. Can't I just change it to another one?"
"No, the other horses are old and thin. Only that one looks fatter. Go and kill it. When the uncle is happy, he will reward you with a few more coins."
"No, I can't kill that horse. I won't agree to it," said the young man with a bloodshot mouth.
"Little bastard, you are really tired of living. It's not like I don't give you money to eat your horse." A big man carrying a knife walked towards the young man.
"No, I just can't eat it."
"How dare you talk back to me."
"Pah!" The big man raised his hand and slapped the young man. The young man screamed and rolled out.
The family next to me advised: "Son, just let them kill that horse. Anyway, it is a lost horse that was just recovered."
The young man's father also said: "Don't let the children be strong and let them kill them."
"Why is this our horse and why are they so unreasonable?" The young man looked extremely excited.
Dugu Baitian sighed secretly: The people of the grassland are indeed simple and kind-hearted. There are many unfair things in this world, but they have never seen them in this peaceful grassland.
Several martial arts people in the room laughed at the same time: "Haha why? Can you stop us because your brain is rusty? If I ask you to live, you will live. If you die, you will die. Damn it if you dare to ask why."
"As he said that, another big man came over and kicked the young man to the ground.
"Old guy, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go kill the horse quickly? Why don't you wait for us to kill your son?" As he said that, the big man gave the middle-aged herdsman a slap in the face.
The middle-aged herdsman put his hand on his face and said, "How much do you give me?"
"You still want money. I've been lenient enough to delay you for so long without killing you. Get out of here!"
Dugu Baitian's eyes burst into flames and he suddenly shattered the wooden door and stepped in with murderous intent.
Everyone in the room was stunned. The martial arts men quickly reacted and shouted in horror: "Demon King!"
"Are you going to commit suicide or do you want me to do it?"
"Demon King, please spare my life!" Several people shouted at the same time, no longer as majestic as before.
"Spare your life? Hehe..." Dugu Baitian sneered: "I didn't give you a chance just now. I have been observing you for a while since I came outside the house. I thought you were a few heroic men who didn't know much at first.
Bian Tong got into a dispute with a few kind-hearted herdsmen. Who would have thought that you guys are worse than pigs and dogs? You think you can control the life and death of others with your fists, right? Then come to me."
"Don't you dare, Lord Demon King, please spare your life!"
The few herdsmen in the house were obviously confused. They did not expect that the big men who were so arrogant just now would be so frightened and afraid of a young man at this time.
"I was originally in a very good mood today, but damn it you fuckers ruined my mood!" Dugu Baitian suddenly pulled out the Weeping Blood Sword and a biting chill filled the room.
Everyone in the room immediately trembled involuntarily. He caught a glimpse of the panic in the eyes of the father and son and quickly put away the sharp sword in his hand.
"You guys come out with me."
At this moment, a chuckle came from the rain: "Brother Dugu is so excited, so he is so powerful here!"
