C53 Illusory world
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
A red light fell from the sky and landed on the top of a bald mountain.
"Where is this?"
The red light dispersed, revealing Gu Hao's figure. He stood on top of the short, bald mountain peak and looked around, muttering to himself in confusion.
The scorching sun was high in the sky, and trees were growing everywhere. Birds and beasts were leisurely flying about. Streams of green smoke were rising from the distant villages and towns.
"So familiar!"
Gu Hao was suspicious, the scene in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Woosh ~ ~ ~"
Gu Hao's feet moved, quickly heading towards the small town at the bottom of the mountain.
Passing through the forest and crossing the stream, Gu Hao quickly arrived at the side of the town, looked at the stone tablet in front of the town, and was instantly startled.
Astonishingly, three large red words were written on the old stone monument that was over the knee: Sunset Town!
"Sunset Town?"
Gu Hao froze and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This name occupied an unerasable position in Gu Hao's memories.
"Maybe it's just a rebranding."
Gu Hao opened his mouth, as though he was comforting himself.
However, while he was talking to himself, his feet kept moving into the little town.
"Don't miss the chance to pass by." Good quality beast skins, sold at a low price. "
In front of a shop beside the main road of the town, a middle-aged man was waving a piece of beast skin.
"Second Uncle Duan?"
Gu Hao was startled, and said involuntarily. He knew this middle-aged man who sold beast skins. He was a close friend of his father, Gu Feng.
The middle-aged man that was shouting heard Gu Hao and turned to look at him suspiciously. His face immediately revealed a smile: "Little Hao, you went out of the town and went to the stream to fish right?"
"Second Uncle Duan, is that really you?"
Gu Hao was in disbelief as he asked puzzledly.
"Child, are you joking with your second uncle?"
Second Uncle Duan walked to Gu Hao's side and patted his shoulder as he smiled.
"Second Uncle knows, you must still be angry at Second Uncle, right? Alright, last time, Second Uncle was in the wrong. Second Uncle misunderstood you. That piece of animal skin was accidentally broken by your aunt, so I don't blame you. Second Uncle should apologize to you, don't be angry at Second Uncle! "
"Second Aunt, she …"
Just as Gu Hao opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Yo, isn't this a little Hao?"
A middle-aged woman holding a bamboo basket quickly walked over and said.
"Little Hao, why are you here? I met your mother looking for you in the east wing just now. "
"My mother?" Gu Hao was stunned and then he became a little excited. He reached out to grab the middle-aged woman's arms and asked excitedly: "Second Aunt, you said you saw my mother? "She … She's looking for me?"
The middle-aged woman was shocked by Gu Hao, and immediately patted her chest and said: "Child, you scared Second Aunt to death. Yeah, it's not noon, I came to deliver lunch to your second uncle, and just as I passed by the east side of the town, I coincidentally met your mother, and was probably calling you to come home and eat lunch. "
The middle aged woman said, she extended her hand and handed over the bamboo basket to Gu Hao, then took off the white cloth to reveal the steaming hot dishes, and continued.
"Just nice, today I made braised rabbit meat for your second uncle. Don't be in such a hurry to go back and eat with your second uncle." Let me tell you, the one Second Aunt made today... Sigh. "Little Hao, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Second Aunt cooked too much, enough for you two to eat together …"
But Gu Hao had already run away, running towards the east side of the town.
At this moment, a huge wave had already started to rise in Gu Hao's heart.
From the moment he saw the three words "Sunset Town", Gu Hao gave birth to a feeling of expectation.
When he saw Second Uncle Duan, this made Gu Hao even more determined.
And when Second Aunt Duan told Gu Hao that his mother was looking for him, that wish had already been fulfilled.
"Mother …"
Gu Hao thought to himself as he sped up his footsteps. Relying on the deepest memories in his mind, he quickly went to the farm on the east side of Sunset Town.
The farmhouse was very simple, with only four dilapidated houses. The half-human tall wall made of mud could no longer block Gu Hao's vision.
Just that, Gu Hao who had just reached the entrance of the farm, suddenly stopped, his eyes stared blankly through the two open wooden doors, looking at the man and woman inside who were seated at the table in silence.
He was a man in his thirties, with a thin body and mottled hair. It was as though he had just had an argument with a lady. He sat at the table dejectedly, shaking his head.
The woman was also around thirty years old and was slightly plump. Her face was slightly red as she glared angrily at the middle-aged man.
It was a very ordinary scene of a peasant's house, but like a sharp weapon, it pierced ruthlessly into the softest part of Gu Hao's heart.
"Father, Mother!"
Gu Hao's eyes reddened, andhe could no longer hold back the churning emotions in his heart. With a thump, she kneeled onto the ground and yelled out somewhat hoarsely.
The middle-aged man and woman in the room were precisely the parents who had died for Gu Hao, Gu Feng and Han Meng, on top of the Wu's city gate tower three months ago!
"Ya, Hao Er, what happened to you?"
Gu Hao's voice startled them all, so Han Meng ran out first and asked worriedly.
"Get up. I've already criticized your father. If he dares to argue with you again in the future, I'll teach him a lesson in your stead. "
Saying that, Han Meng immediately supported Gu Hao and patted on the dust on her knees.
"Mother, I was wrong, I was really wrong. You and my dad, please don't leave me, okay? "
Gu Hao held Han Meng tightly and said hoarsely.
Han Meng was startled, she did not understand what was going on with his son, but she still patted Gu Hao's shoulder lightly with a bit of heartache, and consoled him, "Foolish child, why would mother part with you? It is said that the son is the flesh of the mother's heart, so how could the mother not want her own flesh and blood? "
Gu Hao cried for a while before he finally let go of Han Meng reluctantly. He tightly held onto his mother's hand and said with a bit of a choked voice: "Mother, I missed you."
"Mom misses you too. Well, don't cry. It was time to get married, yet he was still crying, letting his neighbors see how embarrassing it was. "Come in quickly, your dad and I are waiting for you to eat."
Han Meng pulled Gu Hao's hand, and said with a kind expression.
"Yes." Gu Hao nodded as he sobbed. He was pulled into the farm by Han Meng.
Gu Feng was standing at the door, hesitating as he watched the two walk in.
"Father …"
Gu Hao rushed forward and hugged Gu Feng, crying out loud. The tears that had just stopped fell once more.
"Alright, alright. How big a deal is it? Isn't it just that he didn't want to follow Mr. Mo to the Qingyang City? If you don't want to, then don't. "Anyway, your dad is able to support you two."
Gu Feng sighed, extended his hand and patted Gu Hao's back and said.
"Alright, Hao Er won't cry anymore. "Look, doesn't your dad agree? We're not going anywhere, just staying at home with your mom."
Han Meng advised from the side.
"What cultivator? What reputation?" "What cultivation? What reputation?" What cultivation?
"Yes." Hao Er isn't going anywhere, she's just staying at home with Father and Mother. "
Gu Hao reached out to wipe his tears, releasing Gu Feng, and said while choked with sobs.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. The food's getting cold."
Gu Feng laughed as he spoke, and reached out to pull Gu Hao into the house.
"You really don't know. After walking for a day and a night, your mother was worried sick. She hasn't eaten properly for a day."
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Gu Hao sat down at the dining table and said to Han Meng.
"Hey, you are my precious son. Mother isn't worried about who you're worried about? "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Han Meng also sat down, and said while feeling choked with emotions.
"You ran away for so long. Are you hungry? Mother made you the Red Braised Meat that Hao Er likes the most. "
As he said that, Han Meng raised his hands to wipe his tears. He picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat with his chopsticks and placed it into the bowl in front of Gu Hao. With a loving look, he looked at Gu Hao and said: "Taste it."
"Yes." Mother, you have to eat too. "
Gu Hao nodded in agreement. As he sobbed, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl, holding a piece of Red Braised Meat, he stuffed it all into his mouth. After chewing it a few times, he picked up the rice in the bowl and started to wolf it down.
"Don't worry, eat slowly, don't choke."
Han Meng laughed, then picked up another piece of Red Braised Meat and placed it into Gu Hao's bowl, watching him wolf it down.
"Hao Er, continue eating, father has something to say to you."
Gu Feng looked at Gu Hao and sighed.
"Since you do not wish to go to Qingyang City to cultivate with Mr. Mo, then I will not go. He would follow his father up the mountain to hunt. "Can you?"
"Mm, as long as I don't leave you and mom, I'll do anything."
After Gu Hao finished picking the rice in the bowl, he burped and replied to Gu Feng.
"Alright then, eat with mom first. Dad will go out for a while."
With that, Gu Feng stood up and walked out the door.
"maple, have you eaten? Where are you going?" Han Meng asked quickly.
"I'm not eating any more.
Eat. I will first go to the Town Mayor's house and ask him to deliver a message to Mr. Mo, informing Mr. Mo that Hao Er is not going to cultivate. "
Gu Feng who was already at the door waved his hand. Before he finished speaking, he had already walked out.
After Han Meng heard this, she also sighed. The helplessness that appeared on her face just now was instantly wiped away when she saw the teary face of Gu Hao.
"Mom, you should eat too."
Gu Hao was extremely happy and his face was brimming with a smile.
"Sigh, Mom isn't hungry. You eat, eat."
Han Meng laughed, and at the same time, handed over a bowl of rice in front of him to Gu Hao.
"Look how hungry you are. Come, have a bowl. Not enough. "
"Yes."
Gu Hao took the rice and nodded fiercely. He picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat, mixed it with rice and began to wolf it down again.
Only, he did not see that her mother Han Meng, who was looking at him, had a look of worry on her face.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp ~ ~ ~"
Very quickly, Gu Hao finished his second bowl of rice, and with a satisfied expression, he put down his chopsticks.
"More?"
Han Meng smiled as she looked at her son, and asked softly.
"Mom, I'm full." Gu Hao replied happily. It was still the rice cooked by his mother that was delicious. I want to eat for the rest of my life. "
"Alright, alright, Mom will cook for you for the rest of your life."
Han Meng helplessly shook her head, she got up and said while cleaning up the tableware.
"Heh heh."
Gu Hao immediately laughed foolishly. If the person who fought with Gu Hao before were to see his current appearance, no one would link him with that decisive, sharp, and silent man.
However, perhaps this was Gu Hao's true appearance.
"Da Da …"
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Second Uncle Duan ran in with a flustered look and said while gasping for breath: "Sister-in-law, little Hao, this is bad, Big Brother Gu is in trouble!"
