After running for so long, they finally reached home. Night had finally fallen.

"You're back?" Chou Yumei heard the horse's hiss and ran out of the house, "The food will be ready soon. You must be hungry, we'll be able to eat it in a while."

Qi Wuyang jumped down and walked a few steps to her. "Yumei, help me dig the hole in my sword." Lili was surprised for a moment. "What happened?"

Qi Wuyang shouted, "Tianyun, come down!"

Looking at the heavy sword in Qi Tianyun's arms, Chou Yumei said in surprise, "This, this isn't …" Qi Wuyang took her shoulder and said gently, "Don't worry about that for now, hide this sword. Tianyun, come with me! "

Qi Wuyang and Chou Yumei carried two shovels to the kitchen. They moved away the table and picked up a large piece of soil from the floor, revealing a large stone board.

"Oh!" So Father's sword was hidden here. No wonder I couldn't find it. Wow! This rock is so big, dad, do you want to move it? "

Qi Wuyang bent down and cut a corner of the edge of the boulder. He grabbed the edge with his right hand and used his strength to move the boulder to the side with a heavy scraping sound. The hole underneath the boulder was exposed: two long swords were lying horizontally inside.

"Mom, so you also know martial arts. Why didn't you teach me?" Chou Yumei only looked at Qi Wuyang, not bothering with him.

Qi Wuyang picked up the two swords and threw the smaller one to her. He turned to Qi Tianyun and said, "Tianyun, put the sword in your hand!" Put it in? " "Why did you put it in?"

Qi Wuyang sighed helplessly, "You still don't have the ability to use it. If you want to use it, wait until you grow up. Now, you must hide this sword, or else, our whole family will be killed!" He looked at him in pain.

Qi Tianyun curled his lips and squatted down. He gently placed the sword into the hole and reluctantly touched it before standing up. The red light on the sword's blade faintly flashed.

The boulder was finally put down, the pumice was covered, and the table was moved back to its original position.

The food was served. Qi Tianyun didn't know what his dad meant by 'a fatal disaster', so he wolfed it down as usual.

Qi Wuyang gave some food to Qi Tianyun and Chou Yumei, "We will move tonight. After dinner, we will pack up."

Chou Yumei froze for a moment, but didn't say anything. She continued to eat.

"Father." Qi Tianyun looked up, "It's so dark at night, where are we moving to? Should we wait for the moon to come out before leaving?"

Qi Wuyang gulped down a few mouthfuls of food, "Once you're done packing, let's go, the faster the better. Prepare a few more torches, travel overnight, and choose a place to rest during the day. It's best to stay far away from this mountain, and don't let anyone find us.

This was the most depressing meal that Qi Tianyun had eaten in more than ten years.

Everything he could take with him was brought back to the carriage, along with a lot of dried food.

Chou Yumei sat in the carriage and stuck her head out, "Tianyun, get in!"

Qi Wuyang, stroking the smooth back of the bay horse, called out to Qi Tianyun, who was still standing in front of the cabin, "Tianyun! "Let's go, we will have a new, more beautiful home!"

Qi Tianyun walked slowly towards the carriage and suddenly shouted, "Aiya! My bamboo sword is still inside! " Just as he was about to turn around to grab it, he was stopped by Qi Wuyang. "Don't take it, you want it. Just slice it again in the future. We still need to hurry on." He paused for a moment, then walked up to the carriage and got in.

"Giddy up!" The carriage finally set off.

The moon had not come out. There were a few stars in the sky. There was not a single sound that could be heard, only the sound of hooves and the sizzling of torches.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when Qi Tianyun was about to fall asleep due to the bumpy ride, the carriage suddenly stopped with a "Phew" sound from Wu Tie. Chou Yumei held the sword in her hand, and he was woken up, "Why didn't you leave? Did you find a place to stay? Mother, do you want to stay here? " Just as she was about to stick her head out, she was stopped.

"Just which friend is here!?" "Why don't you show yourself?"

A loud and unclear voice suddenly came out of nowhere: "Surnamed Qi, hand over the Sword of Outer Space and I'll spare your whole family from death!" Qi Wuyang said calmly: "Friend, you must have made a mistake, right? This sword is not here, so how could I have the ability to do so? "

All around them, there was a burst of cold laughter, "Qi Yuan, stop pretending! The villagers at the foot of the mountain all said that the people at the Villa had moved away and had disappeared without a trace. If not for the sword being taken away, why would you be in such a hurry to leave? Even if it wasn't you, you would definitely know the inside story.

Qi Tianyun couldn't believe they were going to be killed tonight. Chou Yumei took him in her arms and coaxed, "Tianyun, don't be afraid. There's a mother." As he gently pulled out his sword, a loud sound could be heard. He heard Qi Wuyang say, "Your excellency, you are mistaken. That sword is indeed not with me. You should go find someone else. Please forgive me."

"Heh heh!" "Even if it's not with you, you should at least know its whereabouts. Otherwise, why would you immediately move after the villa was evacuated? There must be something strange about it, if you don't find out clearly about it today, you can forget about leaving this place!"

Then came the sound of a concealed weapon piercing the air, and the clanging of a longsword against a concealed weapon, and then the sound of a man falling from a high place. The curtain was opened. Qi Wuyang stuck his head in and whispered, "Don't come out from the inside. Remember!" He put down the curtain.

"Dad!" Qi Tianyun was about to shout, but Chou Yumei covered her mouth. He didn't know what was going on outside, so she could only hear a series of shouts, the clashing of weapons, and the screams of people on the ground. And then there was the sound — the long hiss of a bay horse!

The red horse's body was running, jumping and twisting restlessly. The two people in the carriage were rolling back and forth, and their heads kept hitting the carriage hard. However, Chou Yumei didn't relax her grip on Qi Tianyun.

Although they didn't bumpy in the carriage for too long, when they rolled out, Qi Tianyun felt that it was hundreds of years long. He vaguely saw that there were tall trees all around and the torches were extinguished long ago.

Qi Wuyang ran to their side and helped them up, "Yumei, take Tianyun and leave. I'll cover for you!"

"Wuyang, who are they? "Ahhh!" Chou Yumei placed a hand on his right shoulder. "You're bleeding!"

Qi Wuyang removed his hand from his shoulder. "Don't be afraid! Fast! There's no time now. Quickly bring Tianyun away! "

She clenched her teeth, held back her tears and ran away with Qi Tianyun. Qi Tianyun turned around and shouted: "Dad!"

He could only vaguely see the back of his charging figure disappearing into the night.

In the dark night, without a direction, Chou Yumei could only rely on her many years of experience and feelings to live here. However, there were intermittent footsteps following them from behind.

With a "chi" sound, Chou Yumei pulled Qi Tianyun and stopped. Ahead of them was a cliff, and they had nowhere to go. At this moment, the footsteps from behind came closer.

"Mother!" Qi Tianyun raised his head and looked at her. Although his eyes were sour, he had regained the calmness he used to have when hunting wild beasts.

Chou Yumei squatted down and hugged him with both hands, "Tianyun!" There were tears at the corner of her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs. "Mom can't protect you, but Mom won't let you be bullied by bad people. If you're still alive in the future, remember to take revenge for Mom and Dad. Remember!" "Ahhh!" She threw the hand that was holding him forward with force.

Qi Tianyun fell off the cliff. He could only feel himself falling down quickly. His heart was beating crazily and he screamed as he cut through the night sky, "Mom!"

The next morning, when Lin Xue, who lived in the valley, discovered him, he was hanging from a tree about a dozen feet above the ground.

Qi Tianyun sat in the shadow of the tree. He closed his eyes, held the sword hilt with both of his hands, rested his chin on the ball and leaned the blade of the sword against the ground. Just like that, he quietly stayed there, as if everything in the world no longer mattered that much. When he stood up from the tree, the sun had already reached its zenith. The tree left a shadow beneath him, and when he looked back, he could see the tall grass in the distance.

"Sigh!" "I should build a small house here. It's too desolate, so I might as well build a small house before looking for my parents. In the future, I can still come here to stay often." When he was ready, he busied himself with preparing the necessary materials.

He took the sword and walked into the bamboo forest. As he raised it, he glanced at the sword in his hand and could not help but sigh. "Brother Jian, I'm sorry, but I will not trouble you with the machete next time." Although this sword was extremely heavy and cumbersome, the edge of the sword was also sharp, making it easy to cut things down.

He cut off a pile of bamboo and dragged it to the front of the house, then went to a nearby bush and chopped down some wood before he began to build his cabin. He first cut off the leaves on the bamboo and then hacked apart the bamboo. Some of them split into long strips, while others simply did not split apart, remaining in their original shape.
