Chapter 8

There are always things to protect in life. Even if you sometimes give your life, you will never allow anyone to blaspheme the sacredness in your heart.

Just like Yang Xiu at this moment, even if he is crushed to pieces, he must make the person who insults the ancestor pay the price.

The loud noise echoed between the sky and the earth, even Shen Xinghun and Li Shan, who were hiding in the cave, could vaguely hear it. Li Shan, who was originally sleeping, sat up suddenly.

It was like having a nightmare, but when I woke up, I found that the nightmare had just begun.

Li Shan's eyes were red. He and Yang Xiu's brothers who had been in more than 20 years, knew Yang Xiu's personality and knew that such a loud noise was only like this. He struggled to not think about it. This was true, but his eyes were still wet.

"Brother Yang! Have a good journey!"

Li Shan covered his heart, as if he was seriously injured, and silently said goodbye to his brother in his heart.

Even though Shen Xinghun was not very experienced in the world, he knew what the sound meant when he looked at Li Shan's expression.

In the direction where he had just escaped, Shen Xinghun knelt down, "Today's hatred will be returned ten times later!!" At this moment, Shen Xinghun did not cry. He had experienced too much today. He knew that he should grow up and that even if the Shen family had no grandfather, they would still be in awe.

Shen Xinghun stood up and clasped his fists at Li Shan.

"Uncle Li, thank you for your hard work, it's time for us to leave!"

Seeing that there seemed to be something in Shen Xinghun's eyes, Li Shan didn't know whether this was a good or a bad thing.

I stood up by Shen Xinghun, and I could still clearly feel the pain in my back, but fortunately the blood had stopped.

"Uncle Li, now the Zi Mansion must kill us. Follow this road to the Shen family. I think not to mention you and me now, even before you are injured, we will definitely die."

"The road ahead is long, I don't know how many people are waiting for us. Now your injuries and I can't change anything. Going forward is going to die. Why don't we retreat quietly to Lin'an City and go home from other directions."

"They must have thought that we were so bold. When they realized that we had left Lin'an City. Although it seemed dangerous, it was much safer than taking this road. Uncle Li, what do you think?"

Li Shan looked at Shen Xinghun with a smile on his face, "Xinghun, I really didn't expect that you suddenly became so calm at this moment. I want to give you time. Even if you don't need the ancestor to take action, you can destroy the Purple Mansion."

"You are right. The road is too dangerous now. The safest one is Lin'an City."

"As long as we don't reveal our whereabouts, even if the Zi Mansion is a little suspicious, we will not be able to search the whole city. When my injury is slightly healed, we will take a detour from other places to go home."

"But it is impossible to return the same way. Not to mention the result of Yang Xiu's side, how can we guarantee that the Zi Mansion will not send pursuers? Now that we want to go back to Lin'an, we have to go around the mountain road."

"There are many beasts in the mountains. You and I must be extremely careful. Once you encounter danger, I want you to survive. You are the hope of the Shen family's future!"

"Uncle Li, I promise you that if it is really a critical moment of life and death, I will try my best to survive. I will make the Shen family as before, and the whole world will be in awe!"

"Okay, then let's go immediately while I can still ride a horse now."

The two of them packed up the traces left and left the cave and headed towards Lin'an City.

The snow fell overnight, covering the road. The two of them walked carefully on the mountain road. First, they should beware of the sudden appearance of beasts, also care about the road under their feet, and even more careful about the pursuits in the Zi Mansion.

So I walked very slowly, unlike last night when I rushed my horse and walked hundreds of miles in two or three hours. Now I am careful and have only walked more than a hundred miles of mountain roads after walking for a full day.

In some places, they could not ride a horse at all and needed to walk. Shen Xinghun could only support Li Shan, and the two of them walked slowly.

There is no need to say much about the pain during the journey of wind and snow.

Fortunately, I did not meet wild beasts or see the pursuit of the Purple Mansion.

After a hard day, the two should have built a bonfire at night, but they were afraid of being discovered by others, so they could only find a place that was sheltered from the wind. They took turns to sleep to beware of being attacked by wild animals.

The night passed, but fortunately nothing happened. The two of them barely cheered up and walked towards Lin'an City. They didn't bring any dry food, they had not eaten for a day and night, and their stomachs were screaming.

As the evening approached ten days, the two finally arrived near Lin'an City, found two beggars outside the city, took out the money to buy their clothes, and changed them, and painted their faces. Only then did they dare to walk into the city.

Now that I'm dressing, it's naturally unlikely to find an inn. I can only find a place to shelter from the wind, just like a real beggar, and I can barely fall asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the two of them were in a much better state. Shen Xinghun went to the pharmacy to help Li Shan catch some medicine for treatment of trauma, and bandaged his wound again.

Now the two are planning how to get back to the Shen family. Lin'an City is well connected. The Shen family is located in the south of Lin'an City. It is impossible to go back directly now, so there is only way to take a detour.

After choosing, I still feel that it is safer to go directly from the West. Although there is a barren desert in the west and the conditions are relatively difficult, as long as I walk out of the desert, I am not too far away from his Shen family.

Secondly, there are camel fleets traveling west in Lin'an City every day. As long as they get into it, it is much safer than going on the road alone.

Moreover, Li Shan is injured now, and a doctor is accompanying the large camel team, so Li Shan's injuries can be treated in a timely manner.

It’s not too late for the two to make up for each other. Although it’s safe for the time being, the Zi Mansion is here after all. If you stay for a moment, you will be more dangerous.

The next day, the two of them dressed up as business travelers, found a camel caravan, and set out west one day later.

During this day, Shen Xinghun prepared some dry food and water, as well as the medicines that Li Shan needed on weekdays.

Decoction in the desert is not realistic, so at Shen Xinghun's request, they are made into pills and carried with you for easy use by Li Shan.

When traveling to the desert, you must prepare enough drinking water, otherwise you will definitely die of dehydration. Even if you are walking with the camel caravan, you must prepare it yourself.

That night, the two of them found an inn to keep their energy and had to rush on the next day. Li Shan was injured and rested early after dinner. Shen Xinghun looked at the deep night sky outside the window alone.

In just a few days, he had experienced something he had never experienced before. The Zi Mansion regretted his marriage and Yang Xiu died. He was also as anxious as a dog who was strayed from home, hiding from all over the world. He was frightened when he heard the sound of horse hooves in Lin'an City, fearing that the people from the Zi Mansion came for him.

Fortunately, I am safe these days and I am about to leave Lin'an City. I don't know when I will come back next time, and I don't know how he should explain to Ziluan.

All of this made him unable to breathe, and also gave his heart a tenacity that he shouldn't have at this age.

The more you experience, the more you get, the process is tragic, but no one has the ability to change the passage of time.
