Difficult to raise children

The torrential rain poured down, the sound of messy horseshoes was drowned out by the sound of the rain, a gust of wind blew past, and more than [-] horses came galloping in the vast rain.

More than [-] men in black wore bamboo hats and coir raincoats and walked quickly in the heavy rain.

"Woo..." The leading man reined in the reins, staring deeply at the three forked roads in front of him, and the horse, which was soaked by the rain, was spinning around in place uncomfortably.

A thick-eyed young man next to him immediately jumped off his horse and looked for traces inch by inch on the ground. After a while, he ran back and bowed, "My lord, the rain has washed away all the traces on the road. What should we do now?"

The big man in the head frowned slightly, and looked at the white rain curtain in the distance. The torrential rain beat the ground, and the rain flew and splashed, making him confused, and he couldn't see the distant scenery clearly.

"The soldiers are divided into three groups. The man is seriously injured, so he must not run far!"

"My lord, that man is very skilled in martial arts. If there are not enough people, I'm afraid..." The young man reminded worryingly, a group of fifty or so people chased a fugitive for more than half a year, not to mention the loss of more than half, but they still haven't caught him yet. .

"Hmph, I was lucky enough to shoot him with an arrow last time, and the arrow was poisoned. No matter how powerful his skill is, it is impossible to force out the poison in a short time. You can do it as soon as you find the trace of the traitor, and immediately attack him." Signal."

"Yes." When everyone heard this, their spirits lifted, and the sense of fear in their hearts subsided a little, so two little bosses stood up to count the number of people, and led them along the left and right roads.

The big man in the head led seven people towards the road in the middle. He shouted loudly: "Remember! The Holy Spirit has an order. If you want to live, you must see people and die!"

"Yes!" The last reply was swallowed by the sound of rain, and the leading man raised his whip and ran away regardless of whether he heard it or not.

In a ruined temple ten miles away from the group, a handsome young man sat leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed. His lips were purple and his face was pale.

The rain fell down along the dilapidated blue-tiled roof like a bead curtain, and there was wet water everywhere in the ruined temple. Only the young man was covered with a thick layer of straw, but he was inevitably soaked.

The middle-aged man, who was trying his best to dress up, took out a cold steamed bun from his soggy bag and handed it over, and said softly, "Little prince, let's eat some dry food. The conditions are simple, and that's all."

The young man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the steamed buns that had lost their original color, took them calmly, and ate them crisply bite by bite.

After he finished eating, the middle-aged man handed over the water bottle again, and said anxiously: "My lord, if your injury is not treated in time, I'm afraid..."

The young man drank a few sips of water with his hand, swallowed the steamed bun that was stuck in his throat, and said unhurriedly: "It's okay, I can't die for a while, if you can't get rid of those people behind, it's useless to cure the poison. "

"Hey..." The middle-aged man sighed, remembering the life of running around in the past six months, needless to say the hardships and dangers involved, but seeing the little master's body getting weaker and weaker, the uneasiness in his heart became even greater.

The young man closed his eyes again, and calmly said three words: "Let's go!"

"Little prince..." The middle-aged man hurriedly knelt in front of him, and said forcefully: "Before he died, the prince ordered the slaves to protect you from the country. We will reach the border in half a month. You must not give up." ! The servant will never leave you even if he dies!"

The young man frowned slightly, he couldn't understand this person's insistence, they were just two complete strangers, could it be just because he was the son of the so-called prince?

The young man's name is Shen Haoran. He lived in a Taoist temple since he was a child. He spent 20 years in a peaceful way. Every day he was not practicing martial arts or chopping firewood to boil water. Everyone thought he was an orphan without father and mother. Unexpectedly, half a year ago, This ordinary-looking middle-aged man found him and said that he was the son of Prince Rui. Of course Shen Haoran didn't believe it. How could Prince Rui, the most powerful man in the Great Zhou Kingdom, abandon his son in the Taoist temple?

But the next day, the arrival of a group of men in black made him believe it. Otherwise, how could he, an outsider who had lived in the mountains for 20 years, receive the so-called imperial decree.

The imperial decree is very simple, Prince Rui intends to rebel, and he has already been slaughtered by everyone, and he, the so-called son of Prince Rui, must not be a fish that slipped through the net. In that case, his only choice is to rush out with this middle-aged man. Siege.

What's ridiculous is that Shen Haoran was given the title of little prince. What awaits him is not glory and wealth, but endless pursuit.

"Tell me about Prince Rui." Shen Haoran's clear voice was full of exhaustion. In the past six months, they hadn't had a good night's sleep, and even meals were often finished in a hurry.

The middle-aged man knelt beside him and began to tell him the life story of Prince Rui, this was the only communication between them.

He used to be a steward of Prince Rui's residence, and because of his outstanding martial arts, he was entrusted with this matter by Prince Rui on his deathbed. Now that Prince Rui's residence no longer exists, he must keep this bit of Prince Rui's blood no matter what.

"Back then, when the little lord was born, the current sage had just ascended the throne. The sage was cruel and ruthless, and used extremely violent means to cleanse the courtiers who disobeyed him. The lord was worried about your safety, so he ordered someone to send you to Yunxiao temple. A dead baby declared that the princess had a difficult delivery..."

It was getting dark soon, and the hoarse voice accompanied by the pattering rain made this dilapidated temple a bit more popular. Shen Haoran was already exhausted, but he still remembered every word he said .

At the beginning, he hated the father he had never met. He never enjoyed the treatment that a prince should have, but fell into a desperate situation on the first day he knew his life experience.

The originally peaceful life is gone forever, and what I face every day is the sound of horseshoes pursued by the group of people behind me.

He doesn't know what's the point of his life like this. Is he really going to escape from the Great Zhou Kingdom as this person said, and accumulate strength to come back for revenge?

It's ridiculous, he is just occupying the title of a little prince, why should he avenge his parents who have no feelings at all?

In the dark night, the approaching sound of horseshoes awakened the two who had just fallen asleep. The two opened their eyes at the same time, and without even communicating, they tacitly picked up their weapons and escaped from behind the ruined temple.

The pedestrian also found the traces of Shen Haoran and the two, "They are here..."

There was a sharp cannon sound in the sky, Shen Haoran was too familiar with this sound, and whenever he was caught up, the group of people would always use this thing to notify their accomplices.

Crossing a small valley, the middle-aged man took Shen Haoran's hand and said, "Little prince, you can find a place to hide here, and this old slave will lead them away!"

Shen Haoran staggered at his feet, he could feel the strength in his body draining little by little, probably because of the long time of performing lightness kung fu, the toxin had already spread.

He broke away from the man's hand and replied flatly: "No need!"

"Little prince... just listen to this old slave once!"

Shen Haoran was stuffed behind a small soil bag by him, watching him put his outer clothes on and run in the opposite direction.

He sighed, it was useless, they were weak, if he hadn't been poisoned and injured, he could still fight, but with his current injuries, he couldn't resist this group of people at all, even if he escaped today, he couldn't escape tomorrow.

Even with this awareness, Shen Haoran still quietly stayed where he was, and when the sky gradually dawned, he stepped on the muddy mountain road.

"Ahem..." Shen Haoran walked hard step by step, his eyes became more and more blurred, and after an unknown amount of time, the annoying sound of horseshoes entered his ears again.

"It's really lingering!" Shen Haoran laughed in a low voice, and continued to move forward without paying attention.

It was a fine day after the rain, and the breath in the mountains and forests carried the fragrance of soil and vegetation, as well as the melodious chirping of birds.

Shen Haoran kept going up the mountain, he didn't know where the front would be, and he didn't know when the pursuers would find him, he just kept walking.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, it was a good time for the sun to rise in the east. The mountains shrouded in clouds and mist in front of one's eyes made one feel like being in a fairyland, but Shen Haoran knew clearly that what awaited him would only be death.

"Woo..." The pursuers have arrived, and the leader is the man who gave the command, he shouted: "There is no way ahead, the little prince should be captured without a fight!"

Shen Haoran looked down at the bottomless cliff, his heart was surprisingly calm.

He lowered his head and looked at the black mark on the palm of his hand, knowing that the toxin had spread to the heart veins, he said to himself: "Forget it, let's take it as repayment for their fertility, and 20 years of life are in vain. .”

After finishing speaking, Shen Haoran closed his eyes, jumped, and jumped off the cliff under the surprised eyes of several people behind him.
