Chapter 5 A difficult world is beautiful

Among the two middle-aged men, the boy's body was as hard as steel, his muscle lines were as clear as sculptures, and every muscle was full of strength and masculinity.

However, his hair shone like silver, exuding a mysterious aura.

The woman next to him was wearing a simple long dress, with a graceful figure and a pretty face. Her eyes were as gentle as water, revealing a sense of tranquility and serenity.

Standing next to the man, the two formed a sharp contrast, yet seemed so harmonious, as if they complemented each other and enhanced each other.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the woman's hair fluttered gently. She turned her head with a smile and looked at the man. The two men on the shore looked at the child in the lake, their hearts in their throats, as if they were tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and they were sweating. They anxiously smashed the water with stones, trying to attract the attention of the strange fish to ensure the safety of the child.

On the distant Qianjue Mountain, a blurry figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. The sudden appearance of the figure caused the surrounding stones, branches, and dust to float around him, like stars surrounding the moon.

The golden light faded, and now only a middle-aged man could be seen, wearing a torn white blood-stained robe, with beautiful long silver-white hair, but with wounds all over his body.

He suddenly knelt down in the direction of the two people, and his tough eyes became moist and red.

Under his handsome facial features, the red scars on his face were more obvious, showing how helpless he was at this moment. Poor child, he stared at all this, cherishing every minute and every second of it.

He said loudly in a hoarse voice: "I'm home... Dad, Mom, I miss you so much! It's been a long, long time."

He raised his left hand and stretched it towards the two of them, but just as he raised his hand, the space around his hand cracked.

Suddenly, a huge pressure came down from behind him, pressing him to the ground, as if telling him that he did not belong here.

After a long time, the man, with tears in his eyes, reluctantly said in a wronged, lonely and helpless tone: "Dad, Mom, please forgive your child for leaving without saying goodbye!"

Then the man waved his right hand, and a wisp of white gas passed through the turbulent lake water. In an instant, the lake water calmed down, and the surrounding fish sank into the water. The boat slowly floated towards the two people on the shore.

The woman said with emotion: "God bless us! How could someone be so cruel as to abandon a child in such a remote place?"

The middle-aged man took over the conversation and replied in a heavy tone: "It must be another helpless parent who had no choice but to abandon his child here.

In this case, why don't we take this child home and raise him as our own."

He suddenly smiled and added: "I never thought that I would have the chance to have a child at my advanced age."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man noticed a wooden sign placed next to the child. He reached out and picked up the sign, gently opened it, and saw a few words engraved on it: Dongying.

The middle-aged man smiled and said to the child: "Oh, so your name is Dongying."

"Xiao Dongying, from today on, we are your father and mother." The couple smiled and gently teased the child.

At this moment, the mysterious white aura suddenly split into two and penetrated into their bodies respectively.

"Old lady, do you feel something strange in your body?"

"I feel like my whole body has become much lighter!" Xiao Dongying burst into tears in the old woman's arms.

The middle-aged man nearby came over and said, "Children of their age should have been weaned a long time ago. They are probably crying because they are hungry. I'll go to the river nearby to see if I can find something to eat."

The woman said, "Hurry up, I'll go collect some firewood and light a bonfire. Then we can cook or roast the food. Give the child some first!"

The middle-aged man came to the river, knelt down, and devoutly asked the river god not to let them starve.

Then he went into the water to fish. When the middle-aged man swam towards the deep water, his figure was looming on the water, as if he was fighting with a water monster.

A few minutes later, the middle-aged man returned to the surface of the water to breathe. After unremitting efforts, he finally harpooned a fish.

When he swam upstream, he suddenly found a golden object in the deep water area, like a shining pearl.

Then the middle-aged man swam over, and suddenly there were many big fish around him. Some of the strange fish were taller than him, so it was not an exaggeration to call them fish monsters.

Then he immediately swam to the shore. He didn't want to care what it was. Even if it was a treasure, he didn't dare to take it. This kind of treasure was usually guarded by some small monsters arranged by big men.

When he returned to the woman, he immediately told her about this unlucky thing. After hearing it, the woman said, "It is indeed dangerous."

At this time, the middle-aged man was rummaging through the dry goods in his package and found that when he came back, he had actually forgotten the dry goods that the two of them had worked so hard to find for several days on the shore.

Afterwards, he left the woman here while he went back to get the dry goods. Otherwise, when the people from above came to ask him for taxes, what would he give them?

At this moment, the originally quiet river suddenly became violent, as if it was an enraged beast, causing huge waves.

Then the hurricane blew down the mushrooms on the deep shore, like flowers scattered by heaven.

When the middle-aged man came to the shore, he suddenly found that there were constant bubbles coming from the river water, like little elves playing in the river.

Then he approached and found that it was the group of beasts that were eating his dried goods. The dried goods that he and his wife had worked hard to find for several days and nights were eaten up just like that.

The middle-aged man sat down on the shore, angry and powerless. He said at a loss: "What should I do? What should I do next?"

His voice was full of despair and helplessness, like a flower destroyed by a storm, devoid of vitality.

Suddenly he saw a golden object in the center of the river.

"Isn't that the golden mushroom from before? Why did it fall off?"

After observing for a long time, the middle-aged man found that these strange fish did not dare to approach the golden mushrooms, so he decided to take a risk.

"If I go back and can't pay the taxes, I'll die anyway. It's better to take this thing back with me. Maybe I can still have a chance to survive."

His eyes were full of determination, like a warrior looking for light in the darkness.
