0664. Weird

The little fox girl Biyan stood in a daze outside this dilapidated courtyard, her tears flowing down like broken beads.

A place that has haunted me so many times.

I thought I would never come back to this place, but now I finally see it.

Are you really not dreaming?

For a few moments, Bi Yan didn't even dare to breathe or make a sound, for fear that it would be like in those dreams before. As long as she ran to this small courtyard, or as long as there was the slightest sound, this beautiful dream would , will be broken.

Li Mu was beside him and saw the little fox girl's expression. He remained silent and understood very well.

It was the same when he first returned to Earth. The closer he got to Earth, the more panicked he became.

I feel shy when I'm close to my hometown.

In such an atmosphere, suddenly the door of the dilapidated bamboo house in the yard opened, and a gaunt figure, coughing and dragging an injured leg, walked out slowly, his steps slow.

This is a somewhat old middle-aged man. His face looks like he is middle-aged, but his hair has turned gray prematurely and his mental state is very poor. He seems to have been tortured by life and has lost interest in everything around him. His eyes are dull and numb.

He was holding a piece of bamboo as a walking stick. He had a thin face and slightly more wrinkles on his face, which looked like the marks made by a sword. His left leg seemed to have completely lost consciousness, and his ankle was twisted. Dragging on the ground.

Li Mu felt the chaotic demon power of the fox clan in this person.

Maybe he used to be a fox monk with good cultivation, but now, the chaotic demon power not only cannot exert his due strength, but also tortures his body, making him in pain all the time.

The moment she saw this person appear, the tears in the little fox girl Biyan's eyes flowed out like a spring.

She cried out uncontrollably and rushed to the yard. With a bang, she knelt in front of the middle-aged man and cried: "Daddy, daddy, I'm back..."

Her delicate and delicate body was kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Li Mu sighed in his heart and walked in.

The middle-aged man was leaning on a walking stick in one hand and holding a small pot for decoction in the other hand. He looked at Bi Yan who was kneeling in front of him with a dazed expression. There was not much emotional change in his dull and numb eyes.

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man asked.

A vicissitudes of life and a heavy breath came to the face in this voice.

Bi Yan slowly raised his head and said: "Dad, it's me, Bi Yan, your daughter, I'm back. I came back from the Baiyu Dynasty in the Yingxian Star Region. Dad, your illness is not cured yet?" "

The middle-aged man's expression showed no change.

"You...did you admit the wrong person?" He took a step back warily.

"I'm Bi Yan, dad, you don't know me anymore? Twenty-three years ago, I was..." Bi Yan felt sad in her heart, and told her what happened in the past, and then looked at her with eyes full of expectation. middle-aged man.

However, the middle-aged man's expression did not change at all.

He shook his head and said: "Girl, you may have admitted the wrong person. I have lived here for more than forty years. I had two daughters, but they have both passed away. I buried them with my own hands. My My wife also died ten years ago, and I don’t have a daughter who was sold to the White Feather Dynasty.”

Bi Yan was stunned.

Li Mu was also a little surprised.

When this middle-aged man spoke, his emotions did not fluctuate at all, nor did he mean to deceive. He was really stating the facts.

All of this is clearly understood under his perception of [Innate Skill].

Did Bi Yan really admit her mistake?

Li Mu looked at Bi Yan.

Bi Yan's expression, after a brief moment of confusion, quickly became firm, and she said: "No, I didn't admit my mistake, absolutely not. Everything here is exactly the same as in my memory. Dad, look at me carefully. Look carefully, I am really Biyan, your daughter."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Girl, I can see clearly that you are really not my daughter. You have mistaken me for the wrong person. I am a cripple and a cripple. If there really is a daughter like you who is as beautiful as a flower, what should I do?" What a blessing, but it’s a pity that you are really not my daughter.”

Bi Yan couldn't accept it.

"No, Dad, if you think about it again, I am really your daughter. When I was a child, you took me to Daqing Mountain to catch mountain leopards. Once again, we were at the foot of Lingquan Peak in Daqing Mountain. , found an injured female leopard..."

Biyan talked about some interesting things from his childhood, trying to awaken the middle-aged man's memory.

But the middle-aged man just shook his head and said numbly: "Girl, let's go. I really don't know you."

Bi Yan was stunned.

She never expected that she would finally find her old home and see her father whom she had not seen for many years, but the other party would not recognize him.

"Mother, mother, Biyan is back. Mother, please come out and see me." Biyan cried loudly, looking a little out of control.

With a sweep of his consciousness, Li Mu knew that there was only this middle-aged man in the entire dilapidated courtyard, and there was no one else.

Could it be that Bi Yan really admitted her mistake?

But it shouldn’t be either.

Because along the way, I talked about some iconic buildings, as well as many scenic spots, paths, and building layouts in this village. They were all very clear and completely correct.

All of this is clearly how she remembers it, and it's definitely not nonsense.

Moreover, she obviously recognized the appearance of the middle-aged man.

So why don't middle-aged people recognize her?

"Dad, please recognize me. Dad, I am really Biyan, your daughter."

At this time, many villagers had gathered outside the courtyard, looking at Biyan and Li Mu and pointing.

The middle-aged man seemed to finally be angry. He pushed Bi Yan away who was holding his legs and said: "Where are you this crazy girl? Let's go quickly. I told you I don't know you and you are still messing around here. I still want to cook some medicine." ,roll!"

Bi Yan was suddenly pushed away and collapsed onto the ground.

She looked miserable and subconsciously wanted to rush over again.

The middle-aged man directly raised the bamboo stick in his hand and hit Bi Yan on the body, saying: "Crazy girl, talk to you properly, you can't hear clearly, can you? Are you still blackmailing me today?"

Li Mu went over and raised his hand to hold the bamboo stick.

The middle-aged man glared at Li Mu.

Li Mu didn't say anything, picked up Bi Yan who was in distress and retreated towards the outside of the yard.

…

"Why doesn't my father recognize me?"

Bi Yan was sitting by a small river outside the village, looking at her face reflected in the river. She felt extremely uncomfortable and her mind was in a mess.

The hope that had supported her for so many years seemed to have suddenly collapsed.

Li Mu comforted her a few words and said, "Maybe there is some unavoidable reason, or maybe you really admitted your mistake?"

"Did I admit that I was wrong?" Bi Yan glanced at Li Mu blankly, and then said: "No, it's impossible. Everything is exactly the same as in my memory. Everything is exactly the same as before. Even if I admit the wrong person, I will not admit it." I may have misremembered the whole village.”

Li Mu said: "Well, I'll accompany you to the village and ask other people. Even if your father pretends not to know you for some reason, if you really grew up in this village, If you are older, other villagers, especially some other elderly people, should know you and have an impression of you."

Bi Yan's eyes lit up.

The two men returned to the village and asked someone to inquire.

Half an hour later.

The two of them returned to the river.

Bi Yan's face was gloomy, as if he had lost his soul, and he could hardly cry.

Li Mu also looked puzzled.

They asked around the whole village, and the results shocked Li Mu.

The people in the whole village said exactly the same thing as the middle-aged man. They all said that there was no such person as Bi Yan. The middle-aged man was indeed extremely unfortunate. Both of his daughters were dead, and the whole village helped bury them. Yes, ten years ago, the middle-aged man’s wife also passed away.

How is this going?

Could it be that Bi Yan really remembered it wrong?

Even Biyan himself wondered if there was something wrong with his mental state.

"Go back first."

Li Mu comforted Bi Yan.

What was originally a very simple matter of finding a relative, turned out to have developed to such an extent that it developed into a supernatural and suspenseful trend.

With Li Mu's comfort, the two people walked out of the village, followed the way they came, and found the two inn guards waiting in the distance. They took a flying boat and returned to the inn.

"Get some rest."

Li Mu sent Bi Yan to the room.

After what happened during the day, Biyan was very exhausted and fell into a deep sleep soon.

Li Mu also returned to his quiet room and started practicing.

At night.

Li Mu walked out of the quiet room.

The little fox girl Biyan is still sleeping.

Li Mu carefully walked out of the inn, and after making sure that no one was following him, he walked with his sword, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the sky.

The next moment, the station's manager, the chubby and smiling Dongfang Meili, walked out of the door of the station. He looked at the direction in which Li Mu disappeared, with a smile on his face and said nothing.

…

Li Mu returned to the village again.

In the night, this small village, like a paradise, is quiet and peaceful.

Li Mu used his body skills and arrived outside the small courtyard of the dilapidated bamboo house like a ghost.

In the bamboo house, the lights are lit.

There were faint sounds of coughing.

The middle-aged man hasn't fallen asleep yet.

A faint medicinal smell came from the house.

Li Mu secretly observed for a moment outside and found that there was no abnormality. He thought to himself: Could it be that he had really guessed wrong? In fact, there is no secret in this middle-aged man?

He secretly observed for an entire hour, but found nothing.

Just when Li Mu was about to leave temporarily, something unexpected happened.

Four figures wearing black night clothes flew from far away from the village. They were very fast and silent. Like four fallen leaves, they floated into the small courtyard and occupied different positions. , surrounded the bamboo house.

"Linghu Shenyi, are you still cooking medicine? You can't live for long, why bother struggling," one of the men in black said with a sneer: "I heard that your daughter came back today, but you didn't recognize it? Why, you Are you afraid that it will implicate him?"
