Chapter 4: Tianjing Mountain Range

  Looking back, there were pursuers. Looking at his own five-year-old daughter, the uncle suddenly stopped, said nothing, picked up Xiaochun Tian, first wiped off the dust on her face, and kissed her round, bright red little face due to intense exercise, then silently handed her over to Xiaoliu Xing's side.

  Looking at the uncle with eyes that were already completely moist, looking at his firm and pleading gaze. Little Liuxing, who had not cried since Grandpa's death, suddenly felt a little wetness in her eyes. Is this what Grandpa meant by parental love? Little Liuxing, who had never experienced parental love before, also wanted to have a dad and a mom at that moment. Perhaps feeling something, Xiaochuntian, who was originally looking back at the pursuing soldiers with fear on his face, suddenly burst into loud wails and rushed into his father's arms, tightly hugging his legs.

  Looking at the approaching pursuers, Uncle used great force to pull his daughter away from his leg and sent her back to Little Stream Star once again. "I'll repay you in my next life as a cow or a horse! Hurry up!" Wiping away tears from his eyes, Little Stream Star quickly handed over the bow and arrow he had just bought today to Uncle. Then, he picked up Little Spring Day and nodded at Auntie, indicating that they could run now. However, what he didn't expect was that Auntie shook her head. "Although I don't know your name, we won't forget your kindness. I'm entrusting my daughter to you. In our next life, my husband and I will be your slaves. Auntie can't run anymore, and I also want to stay with him."

  Although Auntie's voice was not loud, Xiaoliu Xing heard that determination! Finally, she took a last look at her great parents and tightly hugged Chun Tian, who was crying and struggling, and ran towards the forest without looking back. The fate of Chun Tian's parents didn't need to be thought about, he couldn't waste the time created for him by their lives, nor could he disappoint that great parental love.

  Perhaps it was the stimulation of Uncle and Auntie, but the originally somewhat tired Little Meteor suddenly felt his body full of energy. If there were internal family masters present, they would be astonished to discover that the originally powerless Little Meteor's body had suddenly developed a small stream of rapidly flowing energy. Generally speaking, people who practice qigong need to practice for five or six years before they can develop any energy. Even the best ones need to practice for more than three years, and that's only if they're prodigies, and even then, they still need someone with internal energy to constantly guide them.

  Little Liuxing was only taught some combat skills by his grandfather and had nothing to do with internal energy. However, due to a moving experience, Little Liuxing's body gained a sense of energy, although it was just a little bit, but it was indeed energy! Moreover, not long after that, Little Liuxing found out that this energy wasn't ordinary energy, but the top-notch "Chaos Energy"! As for why, it had something to do with Little Liuxing's origins, which will be explained later.

  Hehe. With the Chaos Qi as the top existence in the universe, after circulating once within a small meteorite, the small meteorite's physical fatigue problem naturally disappears without any effort, and with its support, the small meteorite can run at a speed of 100 meters per second for an entire day without any issues. Of course, if one uses Chaos True Qi to support running, it would be like using nuclear bombs to swat mosquitoes.

  Because Little Meteor didn't know about the small amount of primordial energy inside his body (due to all the sweat from running, he hadn't noticed the flow of primordial energy within), let alone use it, so Little Meteor just felt that his body wasn't tired anymore. When running, he was still at his original speed and hadn't become faster due to the emergence of primordial energy. However, this also greatly increased his confidence! Originally, according to his previous state, even if he were alone, he would need more than two minutes to run the route, but with Little Spring in his arms, he completed it in just over one minute.

  More than 800 meters away, Xia Chun Tian's eyesight only saw some small people, so nothing, still immersed in the loud crying of his parents' farewell. However, Xiao Liu Xing had practiced his eyesight due to hunting and the attached clear effect of the chaotic air also greatly increased his vision. After running into the forest, Xiao Liu Xing looked back while exhaling a breath. Just saw Xia Chun Tian's parents being shot down by the pursuing soldiers' arrows. The pursuers were still more than four minutes away from here. The pursuers had decreased from eleven to six people, and those five people must have been taken out by Uncle.

  "Uncle, auntie, don't worry, I will protect Spring with my life!" With that, Little Meteor made the first vow of his life to the fallen parents of Little Spring. Then he hugged her and plunged into the vast forest. At the same time, an idea also arose in his heart: He must avenge Uncle and Auntie when he has the chance.

  Although two goals were resolved, I saw that the other two had entered the forest. The chasing soldiers also suddenly increased their speed. Originally, the captain wanted to capture Xiaoliu's four people alive. However, Xiaochuntian's father kept shooting them with a bow and arrow. On the rapidly running horse, it was difficult to adjust direction, and the inertia was too great. Those who were not good at riding would accidentally fall off the horse. With more than ten people and a large target, after being shot and killed by Xiaochuntian's father five times, he couldn't help but order the use of bows and arrows to kill them.

  After entering the forest, Little Meteor hugged Little Spring and rushed into the depths without looking at the direction or the road. Wherever the grass was deep, they would rush in that direction. Perhaps she had cried too much, plus Little Meteor's constant persuasion, Little Spring finally stopped crying, and by this time they had been running wildly in the forest for an unknown number of hours. (It was necessary to persuade her, as Little Spring's crying voice could easily attract enemies.) At their own speed, Little Meteor estimated that they had arrived at the central part of the Tianjing Mountains.

  But specifically in what direction, he didn't know. Looking at the towering trees beside him that pierced the clouds, looking at the dense thistles and wild grasses around him, Little Meteor thought they might be able to rest for a while. Moreover, his stomach was also hungry, and because the trees were too tall and dense, completely blocking out the sunlight, he didn't even know what time it was now. He put down Little Spring Heaven who had been sleeping in his arms for several hours, although during their escape he tried his best not to run towards places with thistles, and tried not to let the grasses hurt her while running, but there were still some things that he hadn't taken care of.

  Xiao Chun Tian's clothes were torn in several places, and there were several streaks of blood on her hands and face. On the way, Xiao Chun Tian didn't make a sound, and Xiao Liu Xing had a new understanding of this little girl's strength, and also felt a bit of admiration for her. Among the other children he had seen before, even if they had just a small wound, they would cry out loud. It was good that she was a girl; if it were a boy, he would have frowned upon seeing it.

  The little girl in front of him was much stronger than any boy he had ever seen before. At this time, he completely forgot that he was also a little kid. Moreover, what he didn't know was that Little Spring hadn't cried out in pain because she was influenced by him, and his body had many new wounds, some of which were still bleeding. But Little Flowing Star didn't frown at all, as if these wounds weren't on his body. It was also because of Little Flowing Star's strength that Little Spring was infected, temporarily forgetting the pain of parting with her parents. She also forgot to be afraid of the pursuing soldiers behind her. At this time, Little Spring felt that as long as Little Flowing Star was by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of, and she thought that this brother would definitely take her away from the pursuers. In her heart, Little Flowing Star was now as great as her father!

  Looking at the little girl in front of her, who was not crying or making a fuss, with a strong and determined look in her eyes. Xiaoliu Xing felt more and more fond of her, of course, this was an appreciative kind of liking for now. As for whether it would change later, she didn't know. Like the father of Little Spring in her impression, he gently tidied up her messy hair with his fingers.

  Found a stone for her to sit on, and sat down beside her. Then took out some dried beef from his body, which was given by the boss of Zhao Cai wine house when he left. Gave the largest piece to Xia Chun Tian. Then put it away. He didn't know how long they would stay here, so he had to save as much food as possible. Most wild fruits in the forest were poisonous, and if they could not eat them, they wouldn't.

  Watching Xiaochun Tian chewing on beef jerky with big mouthfuls. A sweet feeling flowed through Xiaoliu Xing's heart, just like when he watched his grandfather feed him. Now that we're both orphans, her parents left her to me, so we're family now, right? Thinking that he had another family member in this world, and it was such a strong little girl, Xiaoliu Xing temporarily forgot about the pursuing soldiers, and his mouth corners couldn't help but curve upwards.

  While chewing on beef jerky, she blinked her bright and spirited big eyes, Little Spring saw this always serious-looking little brother suddenly smile. Although she didn't know why he was smiling, Little Spring herself also "heh-heh" laughed, not knowing the reason either. Seeing her laugh, his heart suddenly felt very happy, so he smiled along with her too. The smiling Little Meteor no longer had that aloof feeling, making him feel very close to her. As she chewed on the beef jerky, she grabbed Little Meteor's hand and asked in her lovely and tender voice, "Little brother, what are you laughing at?"

  Depressed, why do I have to add a small word in front? Looking at Chun Tian's bright big eyes, looking at her mouth moving non-stop, with an expectant and funny expression, Xiao Liu Xing couldn't help but smile. Thinking about it, I haven't laughed for over a year, slightly sighing, then Xiao Liu Xing touched Chun Tian's forehead with his hand, after fixing Chun Tian's hair, he found that he kind of likes touching Chun Tian's forehead now.

  "When I see our little Spring eating so happily, I'm happy too. And also, Spring, next time don't add a 'little' in front of your brother's name." The first sentence was said with a smile, while the second one was said in an intentionally intimidating tone, but it clearly had no effect on Little Spring, who just replied with a "heh heh" and still agreed to Small Stream's request not to add that little word.
