Downstream of the creek is a very desolate grassland with broken walls and ruins, densely covered with weeds and thorns, like an old village site that has experienced a catastrophe.

Xiao Tian'er stood on the crown of an old elm tree with lush branches and looked curiously at the desolation. He didn't understand why his 'big brother' brought him here, but since he was here, he wanted to take a good look around, maybe

Can you see a different scenery?

"This was originally a small village with very beautiful scenery. We all lived here back then..." As soon as 'Big Brother' started telling the story, Xiao Tian'er asked curiously, "Who are 'we'? In your family

Is there anyone else? Why has Master never told me?"

'Big Brother' smiled and thought for a while before replying, "Maybe... he wants me to tell you, do you want to know?".

"Think about it? Then...have I..." Xiao Tian'er suddenly hesitated to speak. It seemed that his question was a bit difficult to answer.

'Big Brother' leaned down and held his small shoulders and smiled again, "Just ask whatever you want to ask, and I will try my best to answer to your satisfaction. Just ask, you're welcome!".

Xiao Tianer hesitated again before trying to ask, "I...do I have a mother?".

"Yes! Otherwise, why would you be here?" 'Big Brother' couldn't help but laugh again, "Do you have any other questions?".

A flower immediately bloomed on Xiao Tian'er's chubby little face, and she chased and asked, "Where is my mother? Are you taking me to see her? When can I see my mother?".

The smile on 'Big Brother''s face dimmed slightly. No wonder the child hesitated when asking questions. This question was indeed difficult to answer, at least it couldn't be explained clearly in a few sentences.

"My mother...isn't she at home?" Xiao Tian'er tried to ask again, because the 'eldest brother' said that he would explain it clearly to him.

"She...is not here for the time being, but I will bring her back as soon as possible. I won't make you wait too long. Actually..." 'Big Brother' replied, "Actually, I miss her too...".

"Oh...Okay!" Xiao Tian'er was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He has a mother, and her mother will come home soon. He only needs to hear this answer.

'Big Brother' smiled happily and then told him a story, "Back then, your mother and I lived here for a while, and...your grandfather and grandmother, um...and Brother Xuan, at that time

You are still a little baby in your mother’s belly…”.

"Why are there so many people in our family?" Xiao Tian'er asked curiously, "Then...is there a master at home? Doesn't he live here?".

At that time, Kang Ran and Lan Tianxing were still hostile forces. He was hiding here disguised as Yun Yu and did not dare to reveal his identity. Of course, he could not become neighbors with Kang Ran.

"Master was still working in the company at that time. It was too far away from here and it was inconvenient, so he didn't live here. We were the only family..." 'Eldest Brother' replied, "Later, due to a sudden flash flood, the entire village was buried.

That’s it. This is what you see now…”.

Because the child was too young and had never heard of or experienced it, Xiao Tianer could not understand the thrilling life and death of a 'sudden flash flood'. He shook his head and asked, "You mean, that beautiful village was buried?"

It’s down here, so what about our home? Is it also down here?”

"Well... I should say, yes and no!" 'Big Brother' replied, "If there is no end, there will be no new beginning. Although the original small village is gone, there is another one in the mountain col five miles away.

A more beautiful village was built, and our new home is still in that village...".

"Oh..." Xiao Tian'er let out a long sigh of relief, "I thought I was going to live in a cave down there...".

"Huh?" 'Big Brother' smiled again, "If so, are you still willing to go home with me?".

"Yes!" Xiao Tian'er replied immediately.

"Why?" 'Big Brother' asked again.

Xiao Tianer's chubby little face became a little deserted, "Because... I want to go home!".

Children of this age don't know how to be flattering, so they say whatever they think. However, the child's truthful answer made his 'eldest brother' feel like he was being pricked to tears.

"Okay, let's go home..." 'Big Brother' picked up Xiao Tian'er and held him in his arms, and kissed his little face lovingly twice.

The love of flesh and blood and the connection of blood cannot be replaced or hidden no matter when and where.

Passing through the ruined grassy beach, bypassing the stream and heading north is a large area of ​​dense pine and cypress trees. The forest is lush and leafy, even in winter, with lush branches and branches.

It was like a natural barrier that separated the other side of the mountain from the outside world. If 'big brother' hadn't brought him here and told him that he would take him home, he would have thought it was a desolate no-man's land.

This overly lush pine and cypress tree seems to be more than what can be achieved by normal growth. It should be restricted and endowed by some external force, and is the result of being controlled by some force, but we don't know what it is.

"Brother, are you sure we want to go through here? This place... looks a little strange?" Xiao Tian'er asked very vigilantly, he could feel the presence of danger.

"What's weird? Oh...the road boundary set up in the village is to prevent thieves..." 'Big Brother' explained, "But it has no effect on us!"

"Oh, then...is there an easier way to go? Can't we go around it?" Although there is no danger, Xiao Tian'er is still very worried standing outside the forest. With his height, if he wants to force his way through the forest, it will basically be difficult.

Even though it has been buried in the grass, I can't even see the road, let alone distinguish the east, west, north and south.

"Well! Our home is just over the pine forest. It only takes half an hour to go there and it will save a lot of time..." 'Big Brother' replied with certainty, "If you go around the forest, you may have to walk for an extra day. It's your choice.

!".

Xiao Tian'er hesitated for a while, and then checked himself carefully: the shoelaces were tied tightly, the belt was tied, the skirts were all tied together and stuffed into the pants, the hooks on the hat were tightened as tight as possible, and the brim of the hat was facing forward.

Then I put it on again and tried it, then shook my head and smiled with satisfaction.

The 'eldest brother' stood aside and watched the little boy clean himself up quickly. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "What's going on? Master Tian'er, what are you doing...".

"Drilling in the forest! But I'm small and slow, so you have to wait for me for a while..." Xiao Tian'er replied seriously, "But I will try my best to keep up and try not to cause you any trouble...".

The 'eldest brother' stopped there and looked at him. A three-year-old child should usually be in the kindergarten listening to the teacher telling stories and playing games with the children, but this little boy was regarded as an important diversionary of the enemy's attention.

The chips were thrown out.

If something went wrong in their plan, or if Xiao Tian'er's acting skills failed in the middle, he might be easily crushed to death by the enemy.

If it weren't for his innate special ability to be invulnerable to all poisons, Kang Xiu might have been poisoned to death the first time he gave him medicine, and it would have been impossible for him to survive in dangerous situations several times without any harm.

Wait until the cold whirlpool appears.

Now he can finally be taken home, restored to his original rich and noble status, and become the 'Prince' of the Lan family. This little guy can still maintain such a self-disciplined and self-reliant personality, and he has no clue in front of his own father.

Being pampered and arrogant, it seems that Lengxuan has raised the child well.

The 'nanny and bodyguard' who didn't charge for the service was so competent that he, the biological father, was speechless.

When Xiao Tian'er saw his 'eldest brother' just staring at him and not speaking, he asked a little guiltily, "Are you in a hurry? How about... just point me in the direction and I'll go by myself!".

In such a dense forest, even adults who are not familiar with the terrain can easily get lost. For a three-year-old child like him to want to go through it by himself, this sounds very suspenseful.

'Big Brother' shook his head, "No, before I take your mother back, I have plenty of time... to play with you!".

"Oh...ok..." Xiao Tian'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled again, "Let's go, I'll try to keep up with you...".

'Big Brother' couldn't help but sigh, and shook his head again.

"You... don't believe me?" Xiao Tian'er felt a little guilty again, but he explained very seriously, "My great-grandpa also took me through the woods before and taught me how to identify the direction and find the way. I understand all these things.

,It’s just...the forest is not so dense...".

The 'eldest brother' couldn't help sighing again. He was blaming himself. As a father, he cannot let his biological son stay by his side, but he has to balance a certain interest relationship for some unspeakable reasons and maintain the situation at that time.
