Chapter 6 Ghost Hands

After walking out of Village Chief Li's house, Mu Wushuang said to Wanyu: "By the way, Ayu, Grandma Hu's house should be almost done with firewood. I'll chop her another bundle later, so you can do it too."

Wanyu thought about it before looking at Mu Wushuang and said, "Forget it. I'd better go to the mountain to chop some dry firewood for Grandma Hu tomorrow. After the wood in the village was soaked in the rain, it was so good that it was numbing smoke."

Mu Wushuang nodded, and after waving goodbye on a fork road, they each walked towards their own doors. At this time, the three figures quietly passed by the curling smoke from the rooftops, galloping straight towards Village Chief Li’s house like ghosts.

Not long after the sunset was setting, several stars that could not help but feel lonely were shining in the sky. Mu Wushuang slowly walked towards his small wooden house. When he was about to reach the door of his house, Mu Wushuang suddenly stopped and quickly turned his head to look at his master's house, but there was nothing unusual in Village Chief Li's house.

Mu Wushuang just frowned, and the stupid dog with his tail wagging at the door of the wooden house immediately shouted at him twice. "Greedy dog, I want to eat when I see you." Mu Wushuang turned his head, raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Brother Wushuang, why have you been here for so long before you come back? Being scolded by the village chief?" Su Xiaoyu's voice came to Mu Wushuang with the fragrance of rice porridge. Mu Wushuang sniffed and immediately felt hungry in her stomach. Indeed, he and Li Aman and Wanyu were practicing martial arts and playing with water by the lake, and they had been hungry for a long time.

Mu Wushuang looked at Village Chief Li’s house with some reluctance, but he couldn’t see anything unusual. Mu Wushuang could only turn around and say to Su Xiaoyu in Grandma Hu’s house: “It’s okay, Xiaoyu, Master will talk to us about martial arts.”

Mu Wushuang didn't plan to tell Su Xiaoyu what he heard, worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep. "So, come quickly. Grandma and I are waiting for you to go home for dinner."

"Here you come." Mu Wushuang agreed and ran into Grandma Hu's yard quickly.

Su Xiaoyu was led by Grandma Hu. After the end of the extraordinary battle seventeen years ago, Kunlun Mountain had become a barren mountain, and countless creatures turned into powder in the war. It should be said that those who survived that war were lucky people, whether they were humans or monsters.

Mu Wushuang and Su Xiaoyu were both very lucky and saved their lives in troubled times. Grandma Hu was of course Su Xiaoyu's grandma. She escaped from the war and fled to this small mountain village. On the way to exile, Grandma Hu saved Su Xiaoyu, who was already an orphan, and the old and the young have been dependent on each other for more than ten years.

Mu Wushuang was also brought by his grandmother to escape, but his grandmother was a mute mother-in-law, couldn't speak, and knew nothing about Mu Wushuang's life experience.

Everyone in the village knew that Mu Wushuang was actually picked up by his grandmother in troubled times, just like Su Xiaoyu. Because Mu Wushuang's grandmother was just an ordinary old lady, and Mu Wushuang has shown nobleness since she was a child. If she was a girl, she would be a stunning beauty.

Village Chief Li and Grandma Hu and the others have also discussed before that if Mu Wushuang looks like his mother, then his mother must be a great beauty, or even the number one beauty in Dongyuan is not an exaggeration, then his father is probably a person of great origin; if he follows his father, then his father must be a demon clan or a god - a man in the mortal world would not have such a look, or he is a descendant of the Lin family in the south of the Jingnan.

However, although the Lin family was famous in the world, they were killed by the whole family because they committed the crime of the late emperor. Of course, no one knew Mu Wushuang's true surname, but Village Chief Li felt that since the Lin family had no descendants, he simply asked his surname Mu, and Quan regarded it as half of the adopted son of the Lin family.

However, the villagers prefer to believe that Mu Wushuang is the child of the monster, because the price paid by the demon clan in Kunlun Mountain was extremely tragic, and almost all the clans could do their best to protect the Dongyuan of Huaxia. After the war, countless noble elites in the demon world died and injured, and many powerful monster children became orphans. Mu Wushuang might be one of these orphans. What's more, although Mu Wushuang had no demon patterns on his body, there was an extremely vicious seal on his right arm - the Ghost Hand Seal.

"You are back with this bastard." Grandma Hu had already set up the dishes and chopsticks and said to Mu Wushuang. Although Grandma Hu is nearly 70 years old, she still looks very good. Except for her back is a little hunched and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, she basically takes care of other housework by herself.

Mu Wushuang's grandmother passed away when he was fourteen years old. Since then, Grandma Hu has regarded Mu Wushuang as her own grandson and has been taking care of Mu Wushuang's life until now. "Grandma Hu, I'll help you." Mu Wushuang rolled up her sleeves and revealed her arms with bulging veins.

Practicing martial arts since childhood has made Wushuang's arms extremely strong. Although he is very thin, the muscles on his arms are like copper-cast tree roots, intertwined with the rising blue veins. There is a dark-colored handprint on Mu Wushuang's forearm on his right hand. This handprint is strange in shape and is deterrent at first glance. It is definitely not something that human hands can leave behind.

"Boy, has the ghost handprint hurt recently?" Grandma Hu asked with her back to Wushuang. Mu Wushuang looked at the ghost handprint on her right arm and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm always hurt. I've gotten used to it after pain, and I haven't felt it anymore."

"You are just a stubborn person. Every time you have pain, you don't go out for several days. You lie on the bed and hold on. You still say it's okay! Come over quickly and let grandma see." After that, Grandma Hu turned around, held Mu Wushuang's forearm and looked at it.

Grandma Hu knows medical principles well and is considered a doctor in the village. People in the village have some minor disasters and illnesses, so they all go to Grandma Hu for treatment. "It seems that the pain is getting longer and longer. It's just...it hurts more and more every time." Grandma Hu frowned and said, "I don't know what your parents have provoked, which will cause you to suffer this from birth, alas."

Mu Wushuang withdrew his right arm, bent his arm twice and said, "Grandma, who is okay. She used to be ignorant and couldn't bear the pain. Now it's much better than before."
