a few thousand years

Chapter 23 What a coincidence
In the mountains and forests on a rainy night, a boy in black was running around with a baby in his arms.

After finally escaping from the clan, without knowing it, he wanted to exchange the civet cat for the prince to rescue the baby in his arms.

But after all, the teenage boy made a mistake and was discovered when he went out.

The mask on the boy's head was already tattered, and there was a fatal wound on his chest. If it wasn't for the armor on his chest, he would have died already.

The girl in her arms was still crying, so she could only imitate her mother's tone: "Yunyun is good, don't cry, don't cry, brother will take you to find mom and dad."

The boy himself was only 13 years old, his body was full of scars, and his face under the mask showed strength, but his eyes were full of tears, and his heart was already extremely uncomfortable.

In this way, the boy couldn't hold on anymore, and his body had already reached its limit.But looking at the baby in his arms, he still persisted with an unimaginable perseverance.

The pursuers behind him were still pressing on, and the boy was very scared. It would be great if his parents were here at this time.

The young man was recognized as the most gifted in this clan and even in all clans, and there was no one before or after.

But the girl with the same parents has no talent for cultivation at all.

Although no clan has ever said anything about it, they all know it well. If there is an ordinary person who doesn't even have a trace of cultivation talent in the clan's children, especially the main line.

The status of a young man in the main line has only one result, death!
............... ..
"Quick! Quick!"

More and more people were chasing after him, and those whose realm was far beyond that of a teenager were alarmed.

When the patriarch heard about this, he was shocked and moved himself. The dignified martial sage actually chased and killed a martial king himself.

Most of the fighting force in the clan followed the clan leader.

Why did a baby startle even the patriarch?

Not just the baby's parentage but also, her qualifications.

Just her elder brother, who only practiced in his teens and started to attack the Martial King Realm within a few years, so what about a younger sister?The future status of the clan is immeasurable when the two beads gather together!
So when I heard that someone was coming to steal someone, I rushed there with all my skills.

Even if the young man fled early, the gap in realm would be overtaken very soon.

"Little thief! Dare!" The voice resounded directly through the entire mountain forest, making ears tremble.

A red light flashed, and the running figure of the young man fell to the ground and rolled for a while because of the sudden stop, his hands were still holding the baby in his arms tightly to prevent her from getting hurt.

When the clan was far enough away, the clan leader wounded his right leg with a secret method, and now there is a deep bone wound on the right leg.

Even if the young man is at the end of his strength, even if there is a figure behind him, even if his leg is seriously injured and cannot stand up.

But he didn't let go, his right hand protected her from the raindrops, and his left hand firmly grasped the ground, moving forward bit by bit.

The blood from many wounds on his body mixed with the rain and soaked into the ground. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the crying of the child in his arms made him on the verge of collapse.

The people behind were getting more and more experienced, and the patriarch who flew over first was holding a red long sword.

Looking at the poor figure crawling on the ground not far away, he controlled his strength and swung it down aiming at the head.

The blood-red sword light kept pushing into the boy's head.

. . . . . . . . . . .

In the deep mountains and old forests where the heavy rain was pouring, a loud shout appeared

"cut!"

With a sword in his hand, the tiger in front of him was cut in half.

The muddy boy was still in shock, looking at the men and women who were similar to his own age in front of him.

Frightened, he hid far away, holding his hands close to his back, trying to stay away from the two of them.

"Hey, it's not necessary, isn't it just hacking a tiger to death, why are you making such a fuss?" The young man who just watched the dead tiger with a wooden sword seemed dissatisfied with the reaction of the little beggar in front of him.

The little beggar was so frightened that he wanted to stand up and run away, but he passed out as soon as he stood up.

"Ning Muchen! Look at you! You fainted from fright." The girl tugged at the boy next to him by the ear.

The young man was speechless: "Xixi! Don't blame me, I didn't expect him to faint."

"Hurry up and save him first"

The boy held him in one hand and a wooden sword in the other. He came to a small mountain, and then stabbed out with a sword, and a big hole appeared in the mountain.

Walking into the cave, I still didn't forget to brag to the girl behind me: "Why have I improved my cultivation?"

The girl ignored him and sat on the side lighting a fire.

It was raining heavily, and the tigers that had been chopped off were also moved into the cave. Due to limited conditions, the tiger meat could only be roasted over fire.

The people on the ground who have been checked have no major problems, but they should be able to wake up after a long period of malnutrition and sudden shock.

The comatose teenager smelled a strong smell of meat in a daze.

His stomach growled, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the man before him was holding a bunch of freshly roasted meat and handing it to himself.

The sound of gurgling came from the stomach, I didn't care about other things, I just picked it up and ate it.

The meat itself is not good meat, and there is no seasoning, but the way the young man devours it can be seen that it is still very fragrant.

"Why are you here?" This place itself is dangerous and there are wild beasts, he couldn't figure out how this person would appear here.

He didn't reply, just kept bowing his head and eating meat.It's been a long time since I wolfed down my food
wait until the boy finishes eating
"My name is Ning Xi, his name is Ning Muchen, what's your name?" The girl took some rainwater from a small wooden bowl and handed it to the dirty boy.

"Chen...Chen...Chen Ming, my name is Chen Ming." It seems that he hasn't said his name for a long time, and he still has some doubts after saying it.

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know why I'm here, I just kept running and accidentally entered here"

"Where is your home, let's take you home"

"Every family? I don't have a home anymore." Chen Ming curled up, hugging his legs and staring at the fire in a daze.

Ning Xi was stunned, and Ning Muchen, who was fiddling with the fire with a branch, was also stunned.

The atmosphere was a bit stiff, but Chen Ming didn't care about what he said, and continued: "I am the youngest in our family, and I live in a small valley. After I sold it, I came to a completely strange place. The family treated me very well, but it was not my home after all, and I didn’t want to cause trouble to the family, so I ran around begging and accidentally came here and couldn’t get out. ..."

The two were listening to this very ordinary story, and the two of them didn't quite understand the feelings of the young man.

The rain outside gradually stopped, and the three of them walked in the forest like this and decided to go out first.

Chen Ming was not far behind the two of them, just enough for them to have enough space to get along.

Chen Ming's voice came from behind: "Why did you come to this place?" It seemed that it was destined to meet them.
