The return of the son-in-law

Tonghua County is backed by a mountain, which is called the Mountain of No Return by the locals, which is enough to show that this mountain is very dangerous.

The mountains stretch for dozens of miles, and the terrain is complex, even the most experienced local hunters can easily get lost.

It was already late at night, and the torches formed a long fire dragon, lined up in front of the mountain pass.Several of the most experienced hunters in Tonghua County came. They discussed with Guo Zhan'an and Chen Xiehao for a while, and finally decided to divide into three groups, each with several hunters leading the way, and went in three directions to find Chen A Niu's identity. trace.

To prove his innocence, Guo Zhan'an decided to join Chen Sheng in the same team, led by a man in his 30s, with several scars on the left side of his face, which were said to be left by a tiger when he went hunting in the mountains when he was young.He took a few puffs of dry tobacco, looked back and forth between Guo Zhan'an and Chen Sheng with eagle-like eyes, finally shook the ash, and said: "Uglify me in the front, follow me, you have to listen to me, no one can do it." Don't hide that thought, if I find out, heh, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Chen Sheng responded unconsciously, but looked at Guo Zhan'an still full of resentment.Guo Zhanan didn't care, he took Huo Yu's hand and nodded: "You have the most experience here, of course I listen to you."

"I can't be called by the county magistrate, let's go."

There is a thick layer of snow in the mountain of no return, and when you step on it, the snow reaches your knees.It is still difficult for a group of adults to walk on it, let alone Huo Yu.I saw him holding Guo Zhanan's big warm hand tightly with one hand, and pulling his trouser legs with the other hand in turn, as if he could grab his legs from the snow by doing so.

Guo Zhanan naturally felt the huge pulling force coming from the side close to Huo Yu, he stopped, helped Huo Yu shake off the snow particles, and said: "Huo Yu, the snow in this mountain is too thick, I will let Fuqing send you Go back to the county office."

Huo Yu's eyes widened, and he let go of Guo Zhan'an's hand at once, then ran forward two steps with his head down, then turned around, jumped on the spot, and said, "Brother, look at me You can go, I can help!"

Fuqing stepped forward and hugged Huo Yu: "Master Huo Yu, this is a matter of life and death, let's not trouble them here, ah! I will take you back right away."

Huo Yu reached out to break Fuqing's fingers, trying to break free, but how could Fuqing let Huo Yu break free so easily?

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Huo Yu turned to Guo Zhan'an for help, "Brother, I won't trouble you, Boss Liu taught me how to find people in the snow before."

Guo Zhanan didn't expect Huo Yu to have this ability: "Fuqing, put Huo Yu down."

As soon as Huo Yu landed on the ground, he ran back to Guo Zhanan in a hurry, and grabbed Guo Zhanan's with his cold hands: "Big brother, I can really help you, don't drive me back."

Guo Zhanan glanced at Fuqing who must be anxious next to him, recalled his behavior of betraying the Lord many times on the road, and regretted his negligence—always wanted to send Huo Yu back safely, and there was only Fuqing, a familiar person by his side, but he forgot about this guy He had long since had a different heart, and had conflicts with Huo Yu.

"Then we have three chapters in the agreement, you must listen to me all the way, and you must not act without authorization, you know?"

Huo Yu nodded heavily.

There was just a heavy snowfall yesterday, even if Chen Aniu really passed by, the footprints left by him would have been covered by the heavy snow long ago.Chen Sheng walked all the way without finding any clues, and his heart was so cold that he went to the ice cellar.

He turned his head to look at the "culprit" who caused all this, only to find that Guo Zhan'an was chatting with Huo Yu with his head down, the side of his face was full of light from the light of the fire.

The wind from the mountain of no return blew all the way down from the top of the mountain, vaguely blowing the chat between Guo Zhanan and Huo Yu into Chen Sheng's ears.

He couldn't help being angry, and anger and despair completely occupied his mind for a while.Chen Sheng forgot Guo Zhan'an's identity and his fear of Guo Zhan'an on the spot, shouted: "I'll fight with you!" and rushed towards Guo Zhan'an.

Chen Sheng made a sudden attack, and everyone present did not react. Guo Zhanan was caught off guard for a moment, only felt that his abdomen was hit hard, and he fell backwards uncontrollably.

For a moment, the world was spinning, and Guo Zhanan couldn't tell where was the dark sky and where was the white land. Black and white colors were constantly spinning and interlacing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't use his strength. He could only hear Huo Yu's panicked shouts. .

Boom!Guo Zhanan fell on a thick cushion. He sat up and looked, only to find that he was sitting on Chen Sheng's back, and Chen Sheng's face was on the ground and his back was on the sky. Obviously, he fell hard.

The torch rolled down and fell aside. The last spark lit up a few times, but it finally went out.

Guo Zhanan stood up first, held the fire in his hands, and used it as a defensive weapon. He stared at Chen Sheng warily: "What are you doing?"

Chen Sheng touched his nose and stood up, staring at Guo Zhan'an viciously: "It's you, the dog official, who is more vicious than the last one! You actually murdered my A Niu because of such a trivial matter!"

Guo Zhan'an explained several times today that he did not do anything to Chen Aniu, and he didn't even know that Chen Sheng had a second son named Chen Aniu. Unfortunately, no one in Tonghua County believed him, even Chen Xiehao was dubious about him. .

Such treatment made Guo Zhan'an full of doubts and dissatisfaction, and his attitude changed accordingly: "I explained many times, but you didn't listen. If I kidnapped your son, where is the evidence? Someone saw Chen Aniu's back Going north with the iron fork, you still don’t believe me, I killed you because of my secret tricks. If you dare to speak falsely again, your whole family will not be able to bear the crime of slandering officials.”

Chen Sheng spat and said: "A Niu is dead, my whole family doesn't want to live anymore, I will take you to hell with me!" After finishing speaking, he became mad and rushed towards Guo Zhan'an with a roar.

"What are you going to do to my big brother!" He heard Huo Yu's scolding from above, and he slid down the snow slope. Seeing that Chen Sheng wanted to hurt Guo Zhan'an, he quickly threw the torch in his hand at Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng was startled by the bright torches, and quickly backed away. Guo Zhanan took the opportunity to pick up the torches that fell into the snow, then grabbed Huo Yu who had slipped down, and protected him behind him.

"Chen Sheng, as I said, you have to listen to me when you enter this mountain." On the slope several feet high, the leading man drew his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow aimed at Chen Sheng's forehead.

Chen Sheng's chest rose and fell violently, and Guo Zhan'an and Huo Yu could even hear his heavy breathing, but in the end, his hands still hung down to his sides, and he lowered his head wearily.

Only then did the leading man put away his bow and arrow. He looked down and frowned: "This slope is too high and steep. We didn't bring enough ropes. If we want to walk up, we have to make a detour. It will take about an hour. .You first find a stone or a cave to block the wind and stay here for a while, and I will send someone back to get the rope."

Hearing this, Chen Sheng glared at Guo Zhan'an, and then walked to the left first.

Huo Yu couldn't help but tugged at Guo Zhan'an's hand and said, "Brother, let's not stay with him, this man is so unreasonable, he might hit you again later."

Guo Zhanan looked at the angry Huo Yu, and while leading him to the right, he joked, "A bandit, you still reason with others?"

Huo Yu said seriously: "Grandpa said, you must be reasonable in life, otherwise you will become such an ugly person as Boss Liu."

Guo Zhanan said "Oh" and asked him, "Then what kind of person do you want to become?"

Huo Yu said affirmatively, "Of course it's someone like Big Brother."

After speaking, he let go of Guo Zhanan's hand, ran forward a few steps quickly, grabbed in front of Guo Zhanan, turned around and took a few steps towards Guo Zhanan, looked at Guo Zhanan expectantly and asked: "Brother, look at me walking Does it look like you?"

Guo Zhanan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You have been looking at me all the way, so you want to imitate how I walk?"

Huo Yu scratched the back of his head embarrassingly: "It doesn't look like it, but after a while, it will definitely look like it!"

Guo Zhanan stepped forward and pulled Huo Yu forward again: "Actually, you don't need to learn from me, it's enough to be yourself."

Huo Yu was a little embarrassed: "Grandpa said that I should not learn from being bad, but learn from being good. He said that bandits are not good people. If you were kidnapped by Boss Liu, it means that you are a good person. If I learn from you, Grandpa will be happy."

Guo Zhanan found a big rock, and he took Huo Yu to the back of the rock to block the cold north wind: "Then you learn from me, are you happy?"

"Sometimes I feel uncomfortable, but my father said before his death that I must listen to my grandfather, saying that only he can take care of me, so if my grandfather is unhappy, if my father knows, he will be unhappy too."

"What about your mother?" Guo Zhanan asked suddenly, "Why have you never heard of your mother?"

Huo Yu shook his head in confusion, "I've never seen my mother before."

Guo Zhanan's heart tightened, he still had memories of being with his mother for a few years, but Huo Yu didn't have any memories related to his mother, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

He was about to say something to comfort Huo Yu, but when he was in the Guo Mansion, he was a domineering little bully a few years ago; when his biological mother passed away and his stepmother came in, his heart gradually became cold, let alone comforting others. It is already thankful that there is no sarcastic remarks to make people so angry that they can't eat.

Huo Yu suddenly let out a "hmm" at this time. He reached out to wipe off the snow on the stone, leaned over to smell it, and said nervously to Guo Zhan'an, "Big brother, there is blood here!"

They were not far from rolling downhill at this time, Guo Zhanan told Huo Yu to wait here, and he went back and told the people above about Huo Yu's discovery,

The man in the lead suddenly loosened his eyebrows: "It's cold now, and no bears or tigers will come here to look for food. It may be left behind by Chen Aniu's injury. I remember walking half a mile further, there was an abandoned hut. Come down and go with you."

Chen Sheng on the other side heard about it, and followed him regardless of the gap between him and Guo Zhanan.

Under the leadership of the hunter, they came to the hut that the hunter said.

Chen Sheng was overjoyed when he saw the flames inside, trotted a few steps and pushed the door open.

Guo Zhan'an looked at the hut, which had obviously been renovated, and remained silent.
