When the protagonists and villains become bamboo horses

Yan Yu stroked his chin and thought for a while, feeling that it would be a waste to leave these corpses here, so he said, "Then... let's pick a few with intact fur, fat and strong body, and bring them back?"

Xie Shi didn't object.

On the way home, Yan Yu carried a dead wolf on his shoulders, while Xie Shi dragged the leg of a big hare.

"Will it be too heavy?" Yan Yu asked.

Xie Shi straightened his chest and said proudly, "Brother, don't underestimate me. I'm a martial artist, so I still have some strength."

Yan Yu was amused and let him go.

Almost all the ferocious beasts tonight were attracted by Yan Yu and killed them all, so the mountain road was quiet and peaceful.

The moonlight poured down softly, the thin clouds floated in the sky, and the shadows of trees in the darkness were not gloomy at all.

Xie Shi suddenly became playful, walked a few steps quickly, hid secretly in the shadow of the bushes, and when Yan Yu came over, he rushed out suddenly, trying to scare him.

But Yan Yu had already seen through his little tricks and had been paying attention to his position, so he was not frightened at all.

He looked at Xie Shi who raised his hands and made a pounce, with a calm face and a half-smile in his eyes.

Xie Shi was not embarrassed, stuck out his tongue at him, put down his hands, dragged the wild rabbit again, and walked beside Yan Yu.

The two returned home after playing and playing. Although they didn't say much, the air around them was full of joy.

It seems that they are not walking on the dark and quiet mountain road, but on the beautiful trail with the singing of birds and flowers.

This joyful atmosphere lasted until home.

The hut on the mountainside was brightly lit. The Xie family and his wife had returned after exploring the island formation. They were standing anxiously at the door, looking left and right, as if they were looking for them.

Shen Yuanmin was beside them, standing solemnly.

When Xie Shi saw his parents, he ran over like a swallow seeing a nest, dragging a wild rabbit along. "Father! Mother!"

Mrs. Xie hugged him tightly, "I'm so worried! It's the middle of the night, I can't sleep well, where did I go? This...how did this drag a big rabbit?"

At this time, Shen Yuanmin also saw Yan Yu, and his eyes moved from his face to the wild wolf corpse on his shoulder, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

Yan Yu thought of what his father told him not to be brave, and his heart sank.

He hurriedly dropped the wild wolf's body, and approached Shen Yuanmin obediently with a little flattery: "Father, didn't you just retreat? Why did you come out so soon?"

"Hmph!" Shen Yuanmin flicked his sleeves, pointing at the corpse of the wild wolf on the ground with a straight face, "If I continue to retreat, will you brat turn the whole island upside down? Kill a piece of armor and not keep it?"

Yan Yu blushed.

Judging from the facts, he did wipe out the ferocious beasts on the island tonight.

But can his father know this?

Obviously not.

Yan Yu was embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, and argued in a low voice: "How could it be? Father, you are serious!"

"Have you forgotten what I told you today? I told you not to be brave, but what happened to you?" Shen Yuanmin looked very angry, "Turn around and go out in the middle of the night, and beat a wild wolf? Little knowledge?"

When saying this, Shen Yuanmin glanced sharply at the dust on Xie Shi's knees, guessing that he might have fallen down, so he frowned even tighter.

He said to Yan Yu: "You are at least an older brother. Why do you run around with your younger brother all day? If you get hurt, are you embarrassed?"

Hearing Shen Yuanmin's reprimand to Yan Yu, Xie Shi poked his head out of his mother's arms timidly, and said, "Uncle Shen, I'm fine, don't blame Brother Xiu Ling too much."

Xie Shi's father took advantage of the situation to persuade him: "Brother Shen, the two of us went out to play together. Children, they are all playful, so just scold a few words and let it go."

Mrs. Xie also echoed: "Yes, the night is getting dark, let's go to bed earlier."

Shen Yuanmin knew that it was not good to teach his children a lesson in front of others, so he stopped in time, turned around with a livid face, and walked towards the house on the top of the mountain.

"Come on, go home!" he ordered.

It was rare for Yan Yu to see his father so angry, he sighed in his heart, knowing that he would definitely be punished when he returned home.His father didn't punish him in front of outsiders because he wanted to save his face.

"Brother Xiu Ling..." Xie Shi looked at Yan Yu worriedly.

Yan Yu smiled lightly, meaning to reassure him.

After that, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, followed Shen Yuanmin's pace, and directly left the wolf's body in place.

His father blamed him for being brave because he beat a wolf. If he took things over and dangled them under his father's nose, his father would probably be even angrier and he would be punished more severely.

……

After returning to his home on the top of the mountain, Shen Yuanmin led Yan Yu to a dimly lit room and told him to kneel down.

His mother's coffin was placed on the altar in front of the room, and two white candles were burning on both sides. The wick crackled in the flame, and candle tears flowed down the body of the candle.

Shen Yuanmin took out the incense thread from the drawer, lit the end, held the incense, bowed to the spirit seat, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

A faint sandalwood fragrance filled the room, and amidst the smog, his mother's spiritual seat stood quietly.

"Your mother died early, and I brought you up by being both a father and a mother. We don't ask you to be famous, but we only hope that you can grow up well." While speaking, Shen Yuanmin took out a thin and long tree from under the altar. "But what about you? It's fine if you don't obey, and you get into trouble, and you always do things beyond your ability."

Holding a stick, he approached Yan Yu.

Yan Yu knelt on the futon, lowered her head, not daring to move.

"Occasionally, it's because you're lucky. It's like this every day. Are you afraid that you will die before me?" Shen Yuanmin said sternly, "You think you are very capable, very powerful! But your parents suffer from your body, hair and skin. If you get hurt , we are parents, don’t you feel sad? In the world, only black-haired people give away white-haired people, there is no reason for white-haired people to give away black-haired people! I just told you to be quiet today, but you ran away at night Go out and fight the beast."

Shen Yuanmin sighed, and the hand holding the stick trembled slightly.He said: "I didn't want to punish you, but you are so willful. If your mother is alive, she will not stop me."

At this time, he had already walked up to Yan Yu, and he could see his child's black head when he lowered his head.Unbearableness appeared in the cloudy eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Before the monk died of old age, he would have a vague premonition in his heart.

Today Shen Yuanmin sensed this kind of premonition, he was determined to do everything he could, and focused on retreating and practicing.But in the retreat room, Shen Yuanmin thought of Yan Yu, the only child of him and his wife.

At that time, there were two choices before him, one was to continue to retreat and work hard for the slim chance of breaking through the realm, and the other was to leave immediately and use the last time of his life to accompany his children.

This choice is not difficult.

Because Shen Yuanmin knew that his qualifications were mediocre, even if he retreated, it would be difficult for him to be promoted successfully.He retreated because he was afraid of death and asked God for a chance of life, but this chance was very slim.

So Shen Yuanmin left the retreat that night.

On the day of leaving the customs, I learned from the Xie family couple that Yan Yu and Xie Shi stayed up in the middle of the night and went out to run around.

Shen Yuanmin was almost out of breath at that time.He clearly remembered that he had carefully instructed Yan Yu before leaving the customs, but what happened?Yang Feng Yin Yin!

On weekdays, Shen Yuanmin disciplined Yan Yu, and when it was the worst, he just scolded him severely.But tonight, he must punish him severely.

The reason is nothing else, but to hope that Yan Yu can really settle down after his death, don't try to be brave, and cherish life.

He didn't want Yan Yu to come after he passed away, just a few months after reuniting with his mother in the underworld.Good guy, a family of three is alive.Shen Yuanmin doesn't want this kind of family reunion!

The stick slashed through the air, making a slight cracking sound, and landed heavily on Yan Yu's back.

For Yan Yu, who had reached the Golden Core stage, this pain was less painful than a mosquito bite.

But he didn't show it. Instead, he took a deep breath, held back two crystal clear tears from his eyes, gritted his teeth, and looked pained.

Every time the stick fell, he flinched, pretending to bear the pain of being beaten but not to hide.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yuanmin's heart also clenched.

"Now that I know it hurts, why did I go there before!"

He snorted coldly, and kept holding the stick in his hand, but the interval between falls became a little longer, and the speed of swinging the stick became a little slower.

Yan Yu choked up sobbing cooperatively, the corners of his mouth pulled down, begging for mercy: "Father! I know I was wrong, and I will never dare again."

Most of the anger in Shen Yuanmin's heart dissipated, and he planned to slap Yan Yu's back with a stick for the last time.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

After parting, Xie Shi's right eyelid kept twitching.Seeing Shen Yuanmin's angry look, he was very worried that Yan Yu would be punished by his father when he returned home, so he broke away from his parents and rushed over in a hurry.

He pushed open the door and saw Shen Yuanmin holding a stick, and Yan Yu kneeling on the futon shivering, his eyes turned red for a moment.

Xie Shi rushed over recklessly, stretched out his small arms, and embraced Yan Yu, who was much older than him.

He used his body to block the stick that Shen Yuanmin was about to pull down, tears streaming down his face: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Xie Shi didn't have time to wipe away his tears, sobbing while talking: "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuenuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu he……"

Shen Yuanmin was stunned for a moment at first, but he went down the donkey along the slope, decisively put away the stick, and no longer punished Yan Yu, but insisted: "Today, Xiaoshi pleaded for you. If there is a next time, no one will protect you." use!"

Yan Yu quickly expressed his determination, saying that he dare not have a next time.

Xie Shi was still crying.He got emotional for a while and couldn't stop.

Shen Yuanmin sighed, and said to Yan Yu: "Coax him." After that, he threw away the stick, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the house against the cool moonlight, intending to go out to relax.

But just after he left the hospital, he changed his mind.

He thought of the wild wolf that Yan Yu had carried on his shoulders before, it was fat and strong, and it was truly ferocious.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Shen Yuanmin looked at the dark and dense forest below, and murmured to himself, "There are a lot of wild beasts in this barren mountain."

He knew that his time was short, and worried that Yan Yu would go to fight the wild wolves after he died, so he decided to clean up the ferocious beasts in the forest tonight.

Carnivorous animals with fangs and sharp claws such as wolves, tigers, poisonous snakes, and black bears must not be kept. Rabbits, pheasants, and foxes that are less threatening can be kept.

Shen Yuanmin's mind moved slightly, and his figure teleported into the forest, checking for possible beasts inch by inch.

However, to his surprise, the mountain forest tonight was very quiet, there were no ferocious beasts, not even a shadow.

"Weird." Shen Yuanmin frowned.
