The forest was overgrown with shrubs. Lu Ming walked a long way in the early days, and arrived at a forest after nearly an hour.

This place is very special. It is in a valley. The ground is scorched black. Looking around, you can see many scorched tree trunks, and even some collapsed on the ground.

"Are these trees struck by lightning?" Lu Ming asked, looking at the place.

Chuyi smiled and nodded, and said: "Well, further ahead is the minefield. There are often lightning strikes here. After the lightning strikes, the trees will die, so you don't have to cut them down and the dry trunks are relatively easy."

Hearing this, Lu Ming gave a thumbs up. The little girl chose such a good place wisely.

"First day of the junior high school, do you know where this is?" Lu Ming asked.

"I call this place Leishan." Chuyi said.

"No, I mean, do you know where we are, where the high schools are?"

Shaking his head on the first day of the lunar new year, he chopped the dead branches on the tree trunk with an axe, and replied: "I have never left the mountains since I was a child, but I usually heard people talking about it, and it is surrounded by mountains in the primeval forest. , can’t get out at all, and no one knows where it is! Even if they know it, they dare not say it, it’s a capital offense.”

"By the way, Lu Ming, I know you're homesick, but don't run around. The beasts in this mountain are very powerful. If you encounter them, you will definitely die..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yi was startled, and hurriedly stepped back, holding the ax tightly in both hands.

Lu Ming followed her gaze, and there seemed to be something moving in the yellow weeds not far away.

"Don't be nervous, it's either a snake or a rabbit."

Lu Ming signaled her not to worry, picked up a stone and threw it over.

Whoosh!
Something popped out of the weeds suddenly, and Lu Ming was dumbfounded when he fixed his eyes.

Damn, what is it!
It's not that big, it's about the size of Piggy, but the point is that the creature looks like a rabbit, no!To be exact, it is a rabbit, but a very weird one.

The gray rabbit is very big, with four teeth sticking out, it is more than ten centimeters long, and a pair of eyes are blood red, and it is not afraid of people staring at Lu Ming and the two of them with bared teeth.

"Is this the beast in the mountains you mentioned?" Lu Ming asked in amazement, it was the first time he had seen such a strange rabbit.

"It's just a mountain rabbit." Chuyi heaved a sigh of relief, swung an axe, and moved forward to drive the strange rabbit away.

"Don't look at it as small, even if it bites you, it will be terrible."

Lu Ming nodded strongly in agreement, "It's terrible, just those four teeth, even if bitten by them, they won't be able to sew any stitches!"

The first day of the junior high school was amused by his words, and he reminded: "Don't underestimate any beasts in this mountain, they are all amazing! Well, hurry up and work, and you will have to chop firewood when you go back later!"

Seeing the weirdness in this mountain, even the rabbit is so perverted.

Lu Ming and Chuyi picked four tree trunks here, Chuyi carried one on his shoulders, and Lu Ming returned the same way carrying three trunks.

There are four tree trunks like this every day, and it is enough for the academy to consume them for a day when they go back and chop them into firewood.

Going back to the firewood room, chopping firewood, it’s almost evening after finishing the work, after watching the boring evening class in the square in the distance, and then sending the firewood to the outer courtyard!They only need to send firewood to the water room and fire room in the outer courtyard, and there is no need to go to the inner courtyard at all.

Working till late, Lu Ming still had another job, which was to deliver eight barrels of water to Jin Zhi's room.

After all this was done, it was early morning.

Dragging his exhausted body, Lu Ming returned to the firewood room. He slept soundly after no more insomnia and exhaustion this night.

The next day, it was business as usual!Day after day, half a month passed quietly.

That night, he was still dragging his exhausted body, and returned to the firewood house after delivering water for Jin Zhi. Without entering the house, he took off the dark iron epee behind his back and sat on the wooden stake outside the house.

Today's moon is very round, and the mountains are gradually getting cooler. There is a whistling sound when the mountain wind blows through here. Listening to the wind sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Lu Ming's eyes were full of longing.

I don't know if Xiao Linglong is asleep at this time?Is she thinking about him!

Thousands of miles away, on the balcony of the second floor of Lu's mansion in Shangdu, Xiao Linglong was lying on a rocking chair at this moment.

She also quietly looked at the full moon in the sky, stroking her swollen belly with one hand, and whispering in her mouth.

"Lu Ming, I still can't hold back, I went to investigate! It's a girl, and now it's as you wished. This is your little padded jacket. We agreed that the girl will be called Lu Wuyou, and she will be carefree all her life! But And you, where did you go!"

Whispering, her eye sockets were moist.

"The baby will be born in half a month. How can I explain to her then? Where did her father go? How can you be so cruel and leave without a word, as if the world has evaporated. Leave our mother and daughter behind, you, you..."

The choking sound became louder and louder, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down. During this time, she had tried her best to show her strength in front of outsiders, but in the silent night, she would still cry alone.

In the garden, a black figure looked at her from a distance, and felt a little colic in his heart.

"Linglong, my junior brother must be thinking of you at Gaowu Academy too! I hope you can be stronger and everything will be fine."

Outside the room, in the corridor, Piaoxue leaned against the wall, hearing the faint choking sound from inside the house, her heart felt like a knife was being twisted.

"I'm sorry Linglong, I can't tell you all this, and I feel very sad! But for your safety, I promised Lu Ming not to tell you his whereabouts!"

The heart is like a knife, but this bitter snow has to be hidden in my heart.

……

Outside Gaowu Academy, in front of the firewood room!
The same full moon is in the sky, and the same missing person is looking at the full moon in the same sky from afar.

"Hey!"

The endless longing and depression finally turned into a sigh. Lu Ming stroked the blade of the black iron epee with one hand, as if he was stroking Xiao Linglong's face.

He is very depressed, but also a little helpless and helpless!
Half a month has passed, and he has no clues about the heart of the earth, and he has not found the whereabouts of the senior sisters and He Xinyi in the outer courtyard.

Day after day, these days seem to have no end in sight.

"Confused? Or desperate?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and then two figures slowly walked out from the darkness at the side.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who was speaking, and the man on the side was holding a jug of wine in his hand.

"You two finally showed up! Is this the purpose of you intimidating me to come to Gaowu Academy, to cut firewood and light fire for you? The so-called pure body is here, is this the treatment?"

Lu Ming was a little angry and stared at the two with hatred. They were Gu Yue and Gu Ri.

"Drink." Gu Ri threw the jug in his hand to Lu Ming.

After taking the jug, Lu Ming poured it into his mouth.

Gu Yue came over, snatched the flagon from his hands, and said with a smile: "The amount for three people, why don't you drink it all by yourself, why should we just watch?"

After that, she drank a few sips and handed it to Gu Ri.

"It's only been less than 20 days, and you can't take it anymore?" Gu Yue asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Ming just smiled lightly, he could do nothing if he could bear it, he had no right to choose at all.

Gu Yue seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a charming smile: "The turning point has come, tomorrow morning is your time to shine!"
