In the room, the middle-aged man who had just woken up from the chaos was staring at his children with wide eyes, in his memory, time had only passed for a few days, and the children were just two little ghosts who were not as tall as his thighs, how could they grow so big all of a sudden?

If it weren't for the fact that Xingxing's appearance was indeed seven or eight points similar to his younger self, he would have begun to doubt the identities of these two people now!

The middle-aged man looked at the stars and the moon dance in a daze, and his voice trembled involuntarily: "Are you really my children?" And now a full fifteen years have passed? ”

"Yes father," Picking Star patiently explained the root of the matter to the middle-aged man, "After you were injured by the mountain charm, you didn't die at all, the mountain charm is not poisonous, and the poison that has been passed down is actually a kind of fake death medicine, he can make people lose consciousness and breath for a short time, and it looks like they are really dead." Soon after you were buried, you were dug up from your grave. ”

The more the middle-aged man listened, the more confused he became, he looked at his hands in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Am I still alive in the true sense of the word?"

Xingxing smiled and said: "Of course it is, you have only been used by those yin villains all these years, and now your soul and body have been recaptured, you are you from now on, and there will be no more danger in this huge dense forest, and those mountain charms hidden in the dark corners have now all been regained consciousness." ”

As soon as he heard that the mountain charm that threatened the lives of the clansmen had been completely eliminated, the middle-aged man was surprised and delighted: "These are all made by the two of you?" ”

Moon Dance snorted and said, "How could the two of us have so much energy alone? If someone in the game could break the game so easily, then our clan wouldn't have been trapped here for so many years! All this is the work of those strangers, and if it weren't for their reminders, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark now! ”

The middle-aged man suddenly realized: "It's those just now, right?" No wonder I feel like I'm a stranger, ahem, I'll have to thank them later. ”

After all, it is a bloody relative, although the father and daughter have not seen each other for more than ten years, but they do not feel strange, the three of them talked for a while, roughly after the matter was explained clearly, the middle-aged man sincerely sighed: "It's all because of our lack of insight, if we can find out the unusual things in the jungle earlier, why have we been played with in applause for so many years?" Alas, I'm really useless. ”

"Father, it's not right for you to say that, if you want to blame them, you can blame them for being too cunning."

In addition to explaining what happened, Picking Star has more important things to ask his father: "Dad, do you remember what happened over the years?" ”

If the mountain charms are all transformed from living people little by little, then in the refining process, they should have seen the true appearance of the murderer behind the scenes! That number of people has been playing with them for decades, such a big hatred, Xingxing feels that he can't help but revenge! It would be best if I could find clues from my father.

However, he was soon disappointed, because the middle-aged man couldn't remember what had happened, and his clear memory was still stuck in more than ten years ago.

He furrowed his brows, enduring the pain and trying to recall the past: "I don't remember much, but I vaguely remember a man who was tall and had skin as white as snowflakes, and at first glance looked like a dead man, and it was the man who brought me into the cabin....... I thought I heard them talking at the time, but I don't remember exactly what they were talking about. ”

Many years have passed, he was seriously injured, and he lost consciousness for more than ten years halfway, and it is normal not to remember.

Xingxing nodded clearly: "I understand my father, I will look around in the future, and if I encounter suspicious people, I will definitely pay special attention." ”

There was a glint in the middle-aged man's eyes: "This matter will be handed over to you." ”

"The child understands."

The father and son talked in the room for a while, until the middle-aged man, who had just regained consciousness, became more and more tired, and at last he could not even open his eyes, and it was evident that he was feeling sleepy because of his physical exhaustion. Xingxing smiled gently, and reached out to gently cover his father with the quilt, so as not to catch a cold on his already bad body.

The tears on Moon Dance's cheeks had not dried, and she felt more and more sour when she saw her brother's movements: "I feel like I'm dreaming now." ”

Xingxing gently patted her on the shoulder: "Everything is true. Moon Dance, you accompany your father in the room, I'll go out, the nameless seniors have helped us so much, we should express our gratitude. ”

At the critical moment, Moon Dance was still very reliable: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of my father." ”

Picking the star took one last look at his sleeping father on the bed, and then turned to leave the room.

He wanted to go to Nameless's side to express his gratitude, but when he passed by the small courtyard, he was surprised to find that the benefactors were sitting in the courtyard, and they were sitting around the stone table, as if they were discussing something.

Xingxing walked forward quickly: "What are you talking about?" ”

In a blink of an eye, he saw that the person who came was picking stars, and Feng Changqi's eyes lit up slightly: "Patriarch of Star Picking, we have something to ask you." ”

It turned out that they felt that they had been delayed in the small city for too long, so they wanted to leave the small town as soon as possible to find Muzhongshui, before leaving, they wanted to inquire about the news with the pickers, Feng Changqi clearly remembered that when they came to the town for the first time that day, when they mentioned the water in the wood, there were very slight changes on the face of the pickers, which was enough to show that he was in the know.

Feng Changqi looked expectant: "Star Picking Patriarch, do you know where the water in the wood grows?" ”

Sure enough, after hearing this, the expression on Jiexing's face changed, as if he didn't know how to answer her question.

Li Xinghe didn't know what to do, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he thought that he didn't know what the water in the wood was, so he explained to him: "The water in the wood grows in the lakes of the high mountains, and it opens like a lotus, but it will bear fruit, and its fruit is what we are looking for." ”

Xingxing pursed his lips: "You must go to find the water in the wood?" ”

Gongsun Tianheng said without hesitation: "That's nature, even if it is rated as a life, I must find the water in the wood!" ”

Picking the star asked, "What if the way to find water in the wood is very dangerous?" ”

"Then we will definitely not back down." Feng Changqi raised his face, his increasingly refined eyebrows and eyes full of determination, "We also have a reason to find the water in the wood, just like the Star Picking Patriarch is willing to fight desperately to break the curse. ”

"I really admire your bravery," Pickstar paused and spoke to them as he reminisced about the past, "It's not a secret, we also have legends related to water in the wood, so I know what water in the wood is." Most of the people in the clan have never seen water in the wood, but I have seen it with my own eyes. ”

Hearing this, almost everyone was surprised, especially Feng Changqi, who was so shocked that he stood up directly from his position: "Have you ever seen the water in the wood?" ”

"I guess I saw it when I was about ten years old."

At that time, Xingxing had not yet developed the calm personality he has now, but liked to run around like a leather monkey, and once he followed the adults to hunt in the woods, and he was separated from them as he walked. Tired and afraid, he encountered wild beasts in the woods, and also encountered mountain charms, and in order to survive, he desperately fled to the depths of the forest by picking stars.

"At that time, I couldn't tell the direction at all, I just ran all the way, and I didn't notice the changes in the scenery around me, and by the time I realized that something was wrong, it was already too late."

Picking Star's expression became more and more solemn: "It was a thick fog deep in the dense forest, like a wild beast leaving a mark on its own territory, and the thick fog only spread in one place. I found that neither the mountain charms nor the wild beasts dared to go into the thick fog, so I fled into it, and then I realized that there was a lake in the thick fog. ”

The thick white mist enveloped the entire lake like a veil, and the flowers on the surface of the lake could only be faintly seen when picking stars.

"Who?"

The sudden sound frightened him enough to choke on his young age, and he turned his head suddenly, just in time for a pair of red eyes.

When I thought of the scene at that time, I felt creepy: "I don't know when, a giant python with two heads has appeared behind me, it is all black, reminding that it is very wide, just a tongue is as big as my arm, and what is even more amazing is that the giant python can also speak........."

Speaking of this, Picking Stars smiled bitterly: "You also think that what I said is like a dream, right?" Presumably only a nightmare can explain this encounter. ”

The crowd didn't think it was funny, they looked at the star with solemn expressions, as if they were fantasizing about the size of the giant python.

It was already a behemoth more than ten years ago, and now it can be repaid? What will they do to defeat this terrible monster?

Picking Stars, who didn't hear the laughter, was surprised: "Don't you doubt it at all?" ”

Nameless shook his head, his white brows furrowed tightly: "I'm not surprised, because the legend is almost like this, it is said that there must be a guardian beast where the water in the wood grows, and now listening to you say this, it confirms our previous guess, but compared to these, I am more curious about how you escaped from the snake's mouth?" ”

Feng Changqi was also thinking about this question, Picking Stars was able to sit in front of them safely now, could it be because that guardian beast was more benevolent?

Picking stars was a little embarrassed: "How did I come back later, in fact, I can't remember myself, I remember that I was so scared that I couldn't breathe, I saw the giant python squirming towards me, I had fainted, and when I woke up again, people were lying at home, everyone said that I fainted near the town, I never told anyone about this bizarre experience." ”
