"Why hasn't Qingyang returned yet?" "I wonder where he's gone to." A woman around thirty years old muttered to herself in dissatisfaction, but there was a trace of worry mixed in her tone.

"Don't worry about it. If that kid Qingyang is in the forest, his skills might even be better than mine." "There won't be any danger." Beside the table, a tanned brute grinned and laughed.

The tanned man's name was Azure Sun Tiger, and he was also Qingyang's foster father. He was a good hunter in the village, and his skin was rough and dark.

The woman was Qingyang Hu's wife, Li Xianglan, who was also Qingyang's foster mother. The two of them had been married for many years, yet had no children. Just as he was worrying about this matter, one day thirteen years ago, when he was hunting in the Azure Sun Tiger Mountain, he happened to see the little Azure Sun in the grass. He held a small bell in his hand and happily looked at Azure Sun Tiger with a smile.

He carried Little Qingyang back to the village and found a nearby village, but it wasn't lost by anyone else. In addition, Xiang Lan's love for Little Qingyang was great. Since she couldn't resist the pressure of Little Qingyang, she decided to adopt it.

Most of the men in Azure Sun Village had the surname Azure Sun. Azure Sun Tiger couldn't think of any good names, so he decided to just call them Azure Sun.

Thirteen years flew by, but the two of them felt more and more that Qingyang was outstanding.

Calm, kind, resolute, filial, intelligent, looking at the more and more robust Qingyang, the two of them often expressed their gratitude to the heavens for such a treasured child.

"Father, mother, I'm back." Qingyang carried his small medicinal basket and excitedly jumped into the house.

"Child, where have you gone to be crazy? "Look at the dust on his face! Go wash up and prepare to eat!" Xiang Lan took down the medicinal basket from Qingyang's back and lightly dusted off the dust on her body, feigning anger.

Smiling, Qingyang raised his tender face and said proudly: "Mother, today I picked some herbs that can stop the bleeding. so that we can prepare them for father, uncle, and the others when they go hunting in the mountains. "

Qingyang Hu nodded his head in gratification, but still said with some worry, "Qingyang, from now on, don't always go blindly into the mountains and forests. Be careful that the tiger doesn't catch you with its beak."

Although these silly words sounded like they were trying to scare the child, Qingyang's heart felt warm. He knew that his father was worried for him, afraid that something bad would happen to him.

Qing Yang nodded his head obediently, smiled and said, "Father, I will grind the herbs later. You can bring them to the mountains tomorrow."

After saying that, he hopped to the well in the courtyard to fetch water to change his dirty clothes.

"I don't know who this kid got the information from, but it seems that it's really more useful than the pills sold by the town's second brother Zhang." Qingyang Hu looked at Qingyang's back, his eyes filled with pride and love.

"Didn't Qingyang say that last time? He fell on a hill behind the village, and then he inadvertently discovered that the grass could stop the bleeding. " Xiang Lan mumbled to herself as she set down the tableware. "Alright, alright. Eat your food."

The family of three all felt a sense of warmth.

Every single one of Qingyang's lives, Qingyang cherished his family and parents even more. Furthermore, they were becoming more and more powerful. Even he himself did not understand why this was happening. However, he knew that this feeling of warmth and happiness could not be exchanged for anything else.

After dinner, Qingyang carried a dozen or so Star Flowers into the woodshed. He took out the simple stone grinder that his father had made for him, and gently placed each of the Star Flowers into the grinder, then slowly ground them into juice with a stone pestle.

He carefully poured the green liquid into a small wooden bottle and stuffed it with a cork.

"There aren't any good medicinal cauldrons, so I can only make some simple external medicinal juice." Qingyang frowned and mumbled, "However, in this era there are quite a few rare herbs. In the future, we must find a good cauldron. Otherwise, it would be such a waste. "

After muttering to himself for a moment, Qingyang brought the small wooden bottle to the Azure Sun Tiger's room.

"Daddy, this half bottle of Blood Stopping Medicine juice has already been grinded." Qingyang said to his father with a smile.

Smiling and nodding his head, Qingyang Hu received the bottle from Qingyang and gently rubbed Qingyang's little head. He smiled and said: "My Qingyang Hu's son is not ordinary. Hahaha, tomorrow, when father goes hunting in the mountains, he will bring it with him."

"Yes!" Qingyang nodded his head, "Father, Mother, I will go to sleep now. You guys should get some rest as well. "

Qingyang Hu and Xiang Lan nodded, and Qingyang returned to his little room.

A somewhat old wooden bed was placed alongside a neatly patched mattress. Although it was a little shabby, Qingyang was still quite satisfied.

"Lying on the bed, playing with the small gold bell at his waist." Golden Hoop Bell, why do you accompany me in every life? Do you know why I can't enter the cycle of reincarnation? "

"Ding Ling Ling"

The golden hoop bell in his hand rang as the Azure Sun shook it.

"Forget it." "How do you know?" Qingyang self-deprecatingly laughed at himself, and not long after, he clutched the golden bell in his hand and fell into a deep slumber.

Deep in the night, a dark golden light flitted across the golden rings. It was nearly invisible. It flashed for a moment, but no one saw it ?

The next morning, just as dawn broke, smoke began to rise from the chimneys of Azure Sun Village.

"Father, today you, uncle, and the others will go hunting in the mountains again. Don't forget the hemostatic potion juice." Azure Sun raised his small face and said to Azure Sun Tiger.

Nodding his head, Qingyang Hu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. "Don't worry. Qingyang, Daddy has already put them away." With that, he took out the bottle that contained the medicine from yesterday and waved it in front of Qingyang's eyes.

"Mm. Now, Qingyang is relieved." Qingyang heaved a sigh of relief and continued to drink the porridge in his bowl.

Qingyang Hu helplessly shook his head when he saw that. "Child, why are you so nervous whenever I hunt?"

Qingyang's face darkened as he said in a serious tone, "Daddy, you don't know any martial arts, and the wild beasts in the mountains are extremely fierce as well. Bringing along this hemostatic potion is useful in times of danger."

Feeling warm in his heart, Qingyang Hu smiled as he habitually rubbed Qingyang's head.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the house.

"Hu'zi, let's go. Let's take advantage of the fact that it's early in the morning so we can hunt some deer. We can come back early tonight."

"Stop dawdling, just come back and stay with your wife." "Hahaha."

"That Qingyang boy is already so handsome. Tsk tsk. In the future, even the ladies from the surrounding villages will be rushing over to your house to propose to you. Hu Zi."

Looking at the group of well-intentioned men at the door, Qingyang smiled and greeted them: "Uncle Long, Uncle Bai, Uncle Zhang, hello."

"Tsk tsk, this child Qingyang is so sweet. "How is it like our family is so bright." One of the thirty-seven or thirty-eight year olds laughed.

He took the wooden bow that Xiang Lan handed him with one hand and sheathed the short knife by the short wooden stool at his waist. After waving goodbye to Qingyang and his mother, the group of muscular men walked towards the village entrance, talking and laughing.

"Mother, I'm done eating. I'll go to the forest to gather some hemostasis herbs." Qingyang finished the whole bowl of porridge in a few moments. It was almost day.

"Don't run too far away! Don't go into the forest! Be careful of tigers or jackals taking you away!" Xiang Lan instructed.

"Yes, Mother, you can rest assured." I'll be back early. " Qingyang currently felt helpless. Although he was very gentle when he heard what his parents said, he couldn't help but want to laugh. After all, he wasn't a twelve-thirteen-year-old child.

After putting the shovel and hoe into the medicine basket, Qingyang walked with familiarity towards the cliff behind the village.

"Qingyang is going to pick hemostasis herbs again?" All the neighbors smiled and greeted Qingyang as well.

As he replied, he sighed in his heart that although Azure Sun Village was not very rich, they did not fight against each other. They had a simple and honest attitude, and treated others with sincerity and kindness.

He sighed to himself as he tightened the basket on his back, then accelerated and ran towards the direction of the cliff.

"..."

By the time Azure Sun Tiger and the other hunters rushed into the forest, the sky was already completely bright. The few of them quickly scattered in all directions in search of prey.

In this Azure Sun Village, there were some farmers who depended on farming for their livelihood, but not many hunters. Only Azure Sun Hu and the other few men were able to live a better life than the other farmers.

"Shh, Hu Zi, look, is that deer in the grass?" A man asked Qingyang Hu in a soft voice.

Qingyang Hu looked in the direction indicated by the man's eyes. Sure enough, a fat deer was lying in the grass. Its cinnamon colored back was bare as it looked around cautiously.

Bowing, pulling the bowstring, shooting, all in one go.

With a "sou" sound, an iron arrow pierced through the deer's throat from its neck, and its four hooves stomped on the air a few times before it died.

"Hu Zi, your archery is getting stronger and stronger." The leading middle-aged hunter praised.

"This is great, this deer is at least 20 kilograms. The furs can still be sold. Hahaha, my luck is quite good today. " The hunters were all quite happy because they knew that the musk emitted by the deer was something that the medicinal and spice merchants of the town liked. It was true that they would be able to earn quite a bit.

Qingyang Hu chuckled and skillfully pulled out the dagger at his waist. He divided the deer into several portions that were about the same weight and handed them to the others.

"If we continue searching, I'm afraid there might be other deer nearby." Azure Sun Tiger said softly.

"Mm, that's fine too. If we go back a bit more, we'll be able to rest for a few days. " The leading middle-aged man muttered to himself.

They searched around the deer for a while, but to no avail.

Right at this moment, he heard the furious roar of a vicious beast not too far away. The few of them exchanged a glance before they swiftly retreated in unison. When the fierce beast walked out from the distance, the few of them sucked in a breath of cold air.

Its body was almost three meters long and about two hundred kilograms long. Its short and wide head had huge front teeth on it, and on its upper and lower jaws were long and thick teeth that were like blades. Its huge copper bell-like eyes were staring at the group of Azure Sun Tiger men, and its eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty look.

"Not good, it's a Lion Break! How could this beast appear!" The middle-aged man whispered.

"It must have been attracted by the smell of the deer's blood. This is going to be troublesome." Qingyang Hu replied with a serious expression.

"Looks like someone from our group is going to drop this matter today." This group of men, who fought with their lives on the line, were not afraid of death.

With a loud laugh, Azure Sun Tiger bellowed: "Then let's see whether it falls first, or us brothers drop it here!" Before he could finish his sentence, an iron arrow whizzed through the air.
