Chapter 292 - 292 Father?
292 Father?
Gu Hai!
He was an ordinary Hunter in the countryside of the Zhou Dynasty.
A good husband who did not fight for fame or profit, a good father who did not drag his son down and was willing to commit suicide.
This young man looked exactly like Gu Mingzhou’s father.
He was the Gu Hai from Gu Mingzhou’s memory when he was young!
However, in the face of Gu Mingzhou’s sudden tears, the hunters who were standing proudly with their bows in hand were instantly confused. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
“Big Brother Hai, you’re good! When did you get such a big son behind Sister-in-law’s back?” a young hunter asked in surprise.
“Stop talking nonsense!” Gu Hai pushed the little hunter away and took two steps forward.
“Little Brother, Who are you?” Gu Hai’s face was filled with suspicion. He subconsciously put down the bow and arrow in his hand and shouted at Gu Mingzhou.
However, his voice was much gentler than before.
“Father!” Gu Mingzhou’s voice became a little hoarse, and hot tear rolled down his face. He staggered toward the middle-aged man.
“Don’t come over!” Gu Hai had just put down his bow and arrow, but he was now nocking them again. He pointed at Gu Mingzhou from a distance and shouted with some difficulty.
“I’m Mingzhou!” Gu Mingzhou thought that he had frightened the other party. He reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and explained with red eyes.
“You look like you’re in your early twenties, right? Big Brother Hai is only in his twenties. How could he have a son as old as you? Did he get married right after he was born?” behind Gu Hai, the young hunter put down his bow and arrow and joked.
“Brother Duan Yu, you’re wrong. Brother Hai is a famous hunk in our town. Maybe when he was young…” Before Duan Yu could finish his sentence, the other hunters continued to tease him, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
“What nonsense are you guys talking about?” Gu Hai shouted coldly. Everyone was so frightened that they quickly kept quiet and did not dare to laugh again.
“No matter who you are, this is our town’s temporary stronghold to store our prey. We don’t welcome outsiders. You can go!” Gu Hai stopped everyone and turned back to look at Gu Mingzhou.
“But, Father…” Gu Mingzhou was a little dazed. He quickly reached out to wipe his tears and called out anxiously.
“I say, Little Brother, you can eat the wrong medicine, but don’t say things that you can’t. My son is only two years old, and I really like him. I don’t need you to replace him!” Gu Hai immediately interrupted Gu Mingzhou.
“Don’t you feel ashamed? You call everyone Father.” The young hunter who had spoken earlier held his bow and said with a cold smile.
“Old Sixth Gu, that’s not right. Maybe he just likes to call people that?” Duan Yu walked over to the young hunter, Sixth Gu, and joked.
“How old are you guys? Why do you still act like an insensible child?” Gu Hai glared at Duan Yu and scolded them.
“Hehe, I was just joking. I was wrong!” Duan Yu saw that Gu Hai was angry and quickly apologized.
“You only know how to be glib and not do your proper work! Why didn’t you put in so much effort when we were hunting just now?” Gu Hai scolded Duan Yu again.
“Little Brother, you should leave. My town doesn’t welcome outsiders!”
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Gu Mingzhou, who was sad and excited, could not help but be completely stunned. He did not hear what the young man said at all.
What’s going on? Why doesn’t father recognize me?
And Uncle Duan Yu and the others …
Where did the problem lie?
Gu Mingzhou kept thinking in his heart. He kept feeling that something was wrong.
It was as if something was missing, and the answer was right in front of him. He only needed to reach out and touch it, but he couldn’t touch it no matter what.
“Are you alright? Little Brother?”
Just as Gu Mingzhou was in a dilemma.
Gu Hai’s voice rang out again, instantly pulling him out of his thoughts.
“Ah, I’m fine!” Gu Mingzhou waved his hand and said.
He looked at the young man, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and he immediately panicked.
He quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head.
“What are you doing here? Why aren’t you leaving?” Duan Yu immediately said.
“I’ll leave now!” Gu Mingzhou quickly nodded and replied, then turned to leave.
“Little Brother, wait a moment!” he had just taken two steps when Gu Hai called out to him from behind.
Gu Hai threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the side and turned around to pull the bag from Duan Yu’s shoulder.
He took out two large flatbreads and threw the package back to Duan Yu.
“Brother Hai, this is Sister-in-law…” Duan Yu immediately understood the young man’s intention and hurriedly shouted.
“Shut up and mind your own business!” Gu Hai took two large flatbreads and quickly walked to Gu Mingzhou’s side, stuffing the pancakes into his hands.
“Hurry up and take it. There are more bandits in the vicinity. Finish eating and leave this place!” after Gu Hai finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait a moment!” Gu Mingzhou looked at the two flatbreads in his hands and quickly called out to Gu Hai.
“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?” Gu Hai turned around and asked suspiciously.
“I want to know how old you are this year?” Gu Mingzhou asked. He had not figured out what was going on.
However, he felt that this question was very important to him.
“I’m just 23 years old this year. Finish the bread and leave this place!” Gu Hai reached out and patted Gu Mingzhou’s shoulder.
“Could it be twenty years ago?” the two flatbreads in Gu Mingzhou’s hands fell to the ground.
“What’s wrong with you?” Gu Hai instantly noticed Gu Mingzhou’s abnormality. He quickly reached out and caught the two pieces of flatbread that were about to fall to the ground.
He stuffed the two pancakes back into Gu Mingzhou’s hands.
“You’re really called Gu Hai?” Gu Mingzhou turned his head stiffly and asked timidly.
“I’ll never change my surname. Did you get the wrong person? I just got married two years ago. My son was born last year, and today is his second birthday.: Gu Hai’s face was filled with a happy smile.
After saying that, he turned around and walked toward the hunters.
Gu Mingzhou seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the front.
“Not good! That bandit has killed his way into the town!”
“The town is in danger?”
Gu Mingzhou’s expression turned cold, and instantly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“This…”
Sixth Gu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, unable to even speak.
It wasn’t just Little Gu. The hunters around him were equally frightened, rubbing their eyes as if they had just seen a ghost.
In this group of people’s world, even a ninth-rank Xiantian cultivator was rare, let alone an expert like Gu Mingzhou.
They didn’t even know what realm Gu Mingzhou was in.
Gu Mingzhou did not care about these things. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he still had important things to do.
It was a place that he would never forget, even in death.
The town was no longer just a simple home. It had already been upgraded to the level of a home.
When one’s family is in trouble, one can’t refuse!
Moreover, there were still some people in the town!
Whoosh!
Gu Mingzhou’s speed was very fast. He temporarily put aside his doubts and used all his strength to increase his speed to the limit. In the blink of an eye, he overtook Gu Hai and Duan Yu, who had rushed to the town ahead of time.
Gu Mingzhou knew the way to the small town very well. He did not need to ask anyone and easily arrived at the small town.
The bandits had come from the main road in the North of the town and had already killed their way into the outskirts of the town. For a moment, they were full of momentum, and their shouts shook the sky.
