"No, that's not right. We have separated from Lei Yushandian and the others, but before that, we were still fighting with the group of soldiers. My guess is that Lei Yushandian should be hungry but we're only at different places. Don't be too anxious, Dou Dou is fine and is fine. " Xuanyuan Zhan tried his best to calm himself down, the result of his analysis just now was also possible, but if Dou Dou wasn't together with him, then the situation wouldn't be good. However, this was absolutely not something that could be mentioned in front of Feng Yu.
When Feng Yu heard Xuanyuan Zhan's words, his mood also became a lot gentler.
"Then what should we do now? How can we get in touch with them? " Feng Yu began to worry again. Although the scenery at the bottom of the valley was very beautiful, compared to Dou Dou's safety, she was no longer in the mood to admire the scenery.
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at the terrain of the valley below and discussed it with Feng Yu. He wanted to find a safe place to rest first, as he didn't know if there were any wild beasts at the bottom of the valley. Protect yourself before you think of a way out.
The two of them rested in an empty cave. Xuanyuan Zhan helped Feng Yu consume the medicine that he brought along with him. He waited until Feng Yu fell asleep before heading out to investigate.
When Xuanyuan Zhan returned to the cave, he found that Feng Yu was already gone. The fruits in Xuanyuan Zhan's hands fell onto the ground, and then, he loudly called out Feng Yu's name. At this moment, an image of herself and Feng Yu together from when they had first met, to when they had first known each other, and then fell in love appeared in Xuanyuan Zhan's mind. Xuanyuan Zhan's memories were actually slowly recovering. But Feng Yu had disappeared. After searching the cave for a while but to no avail, Xuanyuan Zhan was almost defeated. At this moment, Feng Yu appeared in front of him, and picked up the fruits on the ground.
"I just woke up and noticed that you weren't here, so I went out to take a look. I didn't expect you to be back so soon."
Xuanyuan Zhan hugged Feng Yu in his embrace, his eyes completely red.
"I will never forget you in the future," Feng Yu immediately knew that Xuanyuan Zhan was reminiscing about his past with him. He couldn't help but shed tears as well. From then on, wherever Xuanyuan Zhan went, Feng Yu would bring him along with her.
After observing Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu's bodies for a few days, they discovered the secret within the cave. Therefore, Xuanyuan Zhan used his force to break through the illusion of the valley floor and returned to the forest. Lei Yushandian and Dou Dou were still there, however, Lei Yushandian was already severely injured.
Xuanyuan Zhan did not know what to do, he wanted them to rest, but the two of them insisted on going, this place was already extremely dangerous, and they could not stay. It was just that Ling Xuanyuan Zhan never thought that they would meet another group of assassins, causing Lei Yushandian's old injuries to not even fully heal. He had sacrificed everything in order to protect Xuanyuan Zhan.
"Mother, mother Dou Dou is so scared." Dou Dou buried his head deep within Feng Yu's embrace, and what lay in front of him were the corpses of the guards that he had gotten along with day and night. And there was also his beloved Lei Yushandian, they lay there without moving, bleeding profusely. No more answering questions. Dou Dou was afraid of these people who had already disappeared, and he was even more afraid that he would lose the people around him.
Feng Yu held Dou Dou tightly, the tears in her eyes already starting to spin. The death of these people also made Feng Yu feel fear. The longer they spent together, the deeper their relationship became. However, these feelings that were slowly building up disappeared in an instant. How could an ordinary person accept it?
"Don't be afraid. As long as I am here, I will use my life to protect you." At this moment, Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes were completely red. If there was anything that could make the imposing Xuanyuan Zhan become weak, it could only be emotions. Friendship with these suicidal guards.
No matter what, he had to bury these dead guards properly. Xuanyuan Zhan had chosen a slope towards the wind for Lei Yushandian. Xuanyuan Zhan knew that when they were alive, the life they yearned for the most was to be as carefree as the wind. He had wanted to wait for the world to unite before he allowed the two of them to roam freely in the martial arts world. But now, he no longer had the chance. The only thing he could do for them was bury them here and let the wind carry their wishes into the distance.
When the wind blew, Xuanyuan Zhan suddenly took out his own sword and started dancing with the wind. Sobbing in despair. Xuanyuan Zhan had too many things to say in his heart, such as weakness, or tenderness. All that was in front of him was perseverance, there was no other choice.
Feng Yu didn't know that in this world, there would be so many people who would sacrifice their own lives for a single matter. The heroes of history make themselves feel so unreal. However, the people in front of him who were recorded in the annals of history were actually so real.
From start to finish, Feng Yu had used a white cloth to cover Dou Dou's eyes with. Dou Dou was really too young, so Feng Yu did not want him to bear too much of it. There were only three people in the group, so their destination was still far away.
"Are you all right?" Xuanyuan Zhan knew that Feng Yu had been forcefully enduring her pain the entire way. Other than being concerned about him, Xuanyuan Zhan had no other choice.
"It's fine, it's fine. Don't always worry about me, my situation is the same. No matter how bad it is, it can't get any worse." Feng Yu tried with all his might to force out a smile, wanting to let Xuanyuan Zhan feel more at ease. But this smile, in Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes, felt only heartache.
Xuanyuan Zhan knew that no matter what happened, as long as he stayed by their side, that would be the best arrangement.
"Mother, mother, look." Dou Dou tugged on the corner of Feng Yu's clothes, and pointed at the space in front of him, calling Feng Yu to look over.
Feng Yu saw that there were two children climbing up the steep mountain peak. The two of them had already climbed halfway up the mountain, but it was obvious that they didn't have any strength left. It was Feng Yu who was looking at Xuanyuan Zhan anxiously. Xuanyuan Zhan patted Feng Yu's hand, and then flew up the mountain with large strides. At this time, one of the children was probably out of strength. As he fell down the cliff, the other child was hanging on the mountain with difficulty. Xuanyuan Zhan accurately saved the child that fell, and just as he was about to save the other child, the child in his arms pointed at a stalk of red flower, saying that his little sister wanted to pick that red flower. Xuanyuan Zhan safely placed the two children on the ground, turned around and flew up the mountain to pick the red flower, and gifted it to the two.
"Many thanks for saving my life." The two children bowed deeply to express their gratitude.
"Why did you two kids appear here? Where are your parents? Where is your home? We can take you home. " Seeing that the two children were about the same size as Dou Dou, Feng Yu's love for his grew wild.
"That's right, we can still be good friends." Dou Dou took the initiative to befriend the two children. But when the two children were asked about this, they both chose silence. What did silence represent? No parents and no home? This made Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan a little troubled.
The child was unwilling to talk too much, so they had no choice but to bring the two children along. As the children were playing around, Xuanyuan Zhan pulled Feng Yu to the side to apply for serious treatment.
"How many people do you think we'll meet along the way?" Xuanyuan Zhan looked into Feng Yu's eyes and asked.
"How many? First it was the empty town, then it was the medicine men, then it was the illusions, and then it was a group of assassins with an unknown origin. " Feng Yu began to seriously recall what had happened. It was as if, other than going around to where Lei Yushandian's cousin was, the people they had met along the way were not people.
"That's right. Think about it carefully. There wasn't a single family along the way. Where did these two children come from?" Xuanyuan Zhan's words made Feng Yu tense up. Seeing the two children beside Dou Dou, could it be that they weren't people either? Thinking about it here, Feng Yu's pupils started to dilate. Dou Dou was so close to them, could it be that he was in danger?
Feng Yu got up and wanted to walk towards Dou Dou, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Zhan. Feng Yu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan with a puzzled expression.
"Don't worry, we're very close to them. Trust me, it's within my control. However, we cannot easily deduce the origins of these two children. If they are in cahoots with the people who are chasing us, then what is their purpose in getting close to us? Logically speaking, there are only three of us left. If they kill us recklessly, we won't be able to stand up to them. Why send two children to get close to us? " Xuanyuan Zhan was also puzzled, although the identities of the two children were suspicious, but it was not the time to make such an arrogant conclusion, since they were only children after all.
"Then let's keep watching for a while longer, they seem to be on guard, other than playing with Dou Dou, they didn't say a word." Feng Yu quieted down again after hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words.
"If it wasn't for the fact that the boy at the mountain peak told me that he wanted the red flower, I'm afraid I would have mistaken them for people who wouldn't know how to talk." Xuanyuan Zhan recalled the scene of that child's death that day. He suddenly thought of the red flower the child had mentioned.
Xuanyuan Zhan waved for them to come over. Dou Dou brought his two little friends and walked over.
"I wonder what's the matter, Father?" Dou Dou looked at Xuanyuan Zhan and asked seriously.
"Do you like these two friends very much?" Xuanyuan Zhan did not directly answer Dou Dou's question, but asked a question to him.
"Yes, I like to play with them." Dou Dou happily looked at his two new friends who were by his side. It was possible that he was an adult all the way, and rarely saw anyone his age, so it was very strange at this moment.
"Then can you tell me what all of you are playing at?" Xuanyuan Zhan felt that it was strange, they had not even opened their mouths, how did Dou Dou communicate with them? Furthermore, he didn't even see what they were playing with. He only heard them laughing as if they were very happy.
