C32 Good as Water(1)
The Guard immediately organized a hunt. Father pulled me and circled around the mountains, quickly getting rid of the pursuit.
"Take a rest and look at your mother." Father brought me to Mother's grave. The back of the grave looks at the water. According to the theory of wind and water, it is definitely a treasure ground for the ancestors to rest in peace.
My memory of Mother is only that cold wordless stone tablet.
The flowers and plants around the tomb were trimmed very well, the tomb hall was neat and tidy, and there were no traces of moss on the tombstone. It was obvious that his father often came to take care of it.
I kowtowed towards the tomb. I have no motherly love since I was young, my father's care is the only warm family I have in this world.
"Ling, my son has come to see you." Father's voice was very gentle, "My son has already grown up. You should be at ease."
A gentle breeze caressed my face, as if my mother's warm hands were caressing my face. Immediately, my nose felt sore.
"Son, you've already grown up. It's time to tell you about your mother. Your mother has a strange illness. After bleeding and being injured, the wound cannot be healed easily. A small wound will bleed for a long time. I was too careless at that time, so I didn't pay enough attention to it. " His father's voice began to tremble due to the pain.
"After your mother was pregnant with you, she knew that she was not suitable for giving birth because giving birth would cause her to bleed non-stop and die. But she kept it from me and insisted on continuing the incense offerings for the Zhang family. Before she came to the basin, she told me that she wanted me to take good care of your growth. If you are a boy, then find a way to let you live in the cruel rules. I absolutely can't let you be threatened before you become an adult. You're the continuation of her life..."
The iron-like man's voice began to choke. I never knew about these things. I only knew that my mother died in a difficult birth. I never thought that Mother would use her own life to exchange for the birth of my son. Is this motherly love? What kind of emotions in the world could compare to this great sacrifice? My tears can't stop flowing. I've never cried to my heart's content, growing up in an atmosphere where men don't shed tears easily since childhood. Even when I knew that my father died in battle, I restrained my emotions. Because in the Arreat, the weeping man would be looked down upon by others. Now, in front of my mother, I have already ripped off all my disguises. I am going to show my true self to my heart's content. I have never deliberately flaunted my own strength, so I don't need it now.
My father silently accompanied me, allowing me to cry to my heart's content.
"Son, your benevolence makes Father very happy, but... From now on, in front of your mother, you must swear to cherish your life. No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, you must try to survive. Because you are the most precious gift of our parents in this world, and you are the continuation of our lives for your mother. You can't give up so easily."
When my emotions stabilize a bit, my father starts to remind me... "Tell me the meaning of life, if you are a girl, I will take you away from here... Give you a suitable environment to grow. However, you are a boy. The law of Arreat prohibits boys from leaving Arreat before they become adults. Although my dad has the ability to take you away, I don't want you to spend the rest of your life on the run. Furthermore, you have the right to choose your own way of living. Abba didn't do that. Let me tell you, the Arreat will continue to hunt down those who challenge the inexorable law. In order to protect the inexorable law of Bukaso, the elders will do everything in their power to protect it. You must leave Mount Arreat. You have already grown up. From now on, Father Lu will no longer accompany you. I can't leave your mother. On the west side, there was a place called Rogge. That was the territory of the Lady of Pain. The Lady of Pain had no relationship with any of the tribes. That is the only place you can escape to, because of the Lady of Pain's reputation. The people of Arreat didn't dare to step into that area to show off. Before you become strong enough, don't ever leave Rogge. "
My father pointed out the path of escape for me in the future.
I choked and nodded, "Father, after I become stronger, I will come back to see you."
My father's gaze turned gentle as he caressed my head. He shook his head and said, "Don't come back. Once you come back, you won't be able to avoid killing. Father already has no regrets in having a son like you. Being with your mother for the rest of my life is my greatest happiness. You don't have to come back to see me. But remember, live well. "
His father actually meant that they would part ways here. My tears started to go out of control again. I just reunited with my father, and in the blink of an eye, I will be separated again, and perhaps forever. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad.
"Son, take a rest. Before you leave, my father still has some things to do." My father signalled for me to rest. After a night of nervous escape, I am indeed very tired. I need to rest and reorganize so that I can continue on my escape path.
However, the hunting operation in Arreat was faster than I expected. Before I could enter a dazed state, the pursuing cavalry had already arrived in front of us.
All of them are level 50 and above experts and there are a total of nine of them. For those who were able to escape from the training camp through four checkpoints, sending a team of level 50 and below to hunt them down was not a smart idea. The intentions of the Elders Guild were very clear. Capturing them required efficiency. To protect the dignity of the undying king inexorable law.
For hundreds of years, there were also people who had escaped the training camp, but not a single one of them escaped. They were all chased back to be executed, and their families were implicated and demoted to slaves. Later on, the villagers didn't even dare to think of escaping.
My hand is already grabbing my weapon. My father gently presses down on my hand and says: "Son, watch carefully!" After saying that, he raises his gun and stands up.
"Zhang Loong is my son. If you want to catch him, you have to get through me first!" His father began to exude a domineering aura.
"No matter who you are, those who block your way will die!" These high-ranking officers above level 50 naturally did not know soldiers like his father.
His father smiled faintly.
The nine powerhouses clearly did not have the intention to attack together, a nameless middle-aged man. A cultivator who was still at the stage of middle class training camp was not worth them acting together. The nine of them felt that the Elders Guild had mobilized too many people.
"Who will go first?"
"Arrest him. We'll go back for a drink later."
"Drink. Why don't you go and buy some wine?"
"I heard that Yue Yuexuan has a few new girls. Why don't we go to Yue Yuexuan?"
"That's a good idea. Then what are we waiting for? You're faster. "
"Okay, quickly stop working and relax!"
These bastards are actually looking down on us like this. I can't help but want to rush out and give them a few slaps, but my father's self-restraint is really good. He didn't say a word and waited for them to take action.
