Chapter 97: The Long River in the Eternal Night, the Light and Shadow from the End of Time

Don’t worry, come back and have a look the next day.

Su Mu left the vegetable garden and returned to the front yard.

I found that Nannan was already sleeping soundly on the willow bed.

Because I was so busy just now, I spent five hours cultivating the wasteland and almost forgot to prepare dinner for today.
Su Mu took off his outer robe and gently covered Nannan with it. For some reason, the temperature had been very, very cold at night recently.

This kind of cold is not ordinary cold, it is bone-chilling cold.

After building it, Su Mu waved his hand, and a lotus-shaped stove with a sun pattern engraved on it appeared on the ground. This was a treasure that Su Mu had once obtained from the belly of a precious crocodile.

He used to use it to warm tea, but now that the nights have become cold, he found that this stove has a miraculous effect in dispelling the biting cold.

Although the cold had no effect on Su Mu, after all, he was bound to the system, and all the negative effects on the river had no effect on him.

But my daughter needs it.

So, after Su Mu took out the stove, Nannan's slightly frowned brows finally relaxed.

Soon, the green ox also left the cowshed, came to the willow tree, and lay down close to the stove because it could not stand the cold of the night.

Su Mu walked to the side of the stone house and opened a wooden board. Under the ground was a cellar dug by Su Mu, but this cellar was not used to store things or wine, but to raise fish, especially precious fish.

The cellar was filled with river water, and there were many fish swimming in it.

Because Su Mu had caught more fish in the past two years, he kept the remaining precious fish in the cellar.

Standing on the cellar, he began to pick.

"It's you!"

Su Mu waved his hand and two fire fish were caught.

These two fire fish are not small in size. The big one weighs three kilograms and the small one weighs two kilograms. They have golden-red scales on their bodies. If you look closely, you can see patterns similar to flame clouds dotted on the fish's bodies. Their pupils are like rubies.

Since it was past dinner time, we could only have a midnight snack. Besides, the night was extremely cold, and this fire fish was just the right thing to warm up our bodies.

He grabbed the firefish, pressed it on a flat pebble, and cleaned it with ease.

Then he took two wooden sticks, skewered the fire yang fish, built a simple grill, lit the spiritual fire, and started to grill them.

This firefish is very resistant to baking. It took almost half an hour to bake before it started to sizzle and ooze oil.

At this moment, the wild boar hanging on the willow tree looked at the two roasted fish in the man's hands. His heart was filled with shock and his brain went blank!
Such a powerful creature was roasted by a man like this? !
At this moment, it was really scared and regretful.

I shouldn't have sneaked in here.

Legend has it that in the long river of time, there exists a holy medicine circle, in which grows countless magical medicines.

In order to pursue the last step, my clan had been planning for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Generation after generation of ancestors had sacrificed countless lives before they opened the ancient formation and sent me to this long river of time.

There is only one goal, and that is to sneak into the legendary holy medicine garden on the long river of time. As long as one holy medicine is brought back to the clan, it will be enough to change the fortune of the clan.

As the patriarch of this generation, it is also known as the strongest in the clan in ten thousand years. In the end, it lived up to everyone's expectations, passed through the ancient formation, came to the long river of time, and successfully sneaked into the legendary holy medicine garden.

Originally it had picked three plants, but was caught by a little girl.

At this moment, when it saw that the little girl's father lived on this long river of time, standing in time, overlooking the world, and the food he ate was all the strongest creatures in the world.

Only then did it realize that its clan had been wrong from the very beginning and should not have set its sights on the Holy Medicine Garden in the River of Time, because they were not in the same world or dimension.

Why are the ants on the earth qualified and dare to steal things from the hands of the gods in heaven?
Despair and sadness are growing in its heart.
So what if I am the strongest in the tribe?

Coming here, in the man's eyes, he was just an ordinary wild boar, a wild boar to be slaughtered.
Finally, the two fire fish were roasted and exuded a unique fragrance.

Little Nannan smelled the scent, frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and sat up from the willow bed. She saw her father sitting by the campfire with grilled fish in his hands. He said to her, "Nannan, come and eat." Little Nannan neatly folded the outer robe covering her body, then jumped off the willow bed and ran to her father.

Su Mu said with a distressed look on his face: "Nannan, Daddy was busy in the backyard just now and forgot about it. You must be starving."

Hearing this, Nannan hugged Su Mu, kissed him and said in a baby voice, "Daddy, Nannan is not hungry, but you are so tired every day."

"Hold it, be careful of the heat."

Su Mu handed both fire fish to Nannan. Seeing this, Nannan took the smaller one and handed the bigger one to Su Mu.

"Daddy, one for each of us."

"Dad is an adult, he eats big fish, and daughter is a child, she eats small fish."

Hearing this, Su Mu smiled and said, "But Daddy is not hungry today."

"The books all say that a family should eat together and everyone should eat well."

The firelight shone on Nannan's rosy face, and her eyes were like the brightest moon in the night sky, instantly igniting Su Mu's heart, which had already been accustomed to loneliness.

At this moment, Su Mu seemed to understand that these were his relatives, who would always be the only warm candlelight in the night sky, illuminating the little world at all times.

Su Mu took the fish, and the father and daughter sat around the campfire, eating with relish, their mouths full of oil. The daughter's bell-like laughter echoed in the cold and lonely night, adding a touch of warmth and happiness.

This firefish is a very good precious fish. My daughter was so full after eating just one.

The next second, Nannan's aura began to surge, and she instantly broke through to the Mahayana stage.

Seeing this, Su Mu was also very happy. Seeing Nannan becoming stronger and stronger was also the happiest thing for Su Mu, because if one day in the future, he was no longer with Nannan, she would have the strength to protect herself. Being strong is the only sense of security.

However, in Nannan's heart, she didn't have much concept of spiritual practice, nor did she have much interest in it. She only knew that the happiest thing now was sitting around the campfire with her father and eating grilled fish.

Just like that, Nannan fell asleep in Su Mu's arms.

Looking at the dancing flames in front of him, Su Mu suddenly felt that with such a lovely little angel by his side, he no longer felt lonely and bored.

However, he will still continue to work hard to earn favor points, refine this river as soon as possible, leave here, and take his daughter to see a more exciting and broader world.
At this time, a gust of wind blew.

Blowing the bonfire in front of him.

drop--

drop--

drop--

A sound similar to water drops falling into the water came from the surface of the river.

Hearing this voice, Su Mu turned his head suddenly and looked towards the river.

Suddenly, a little light appeared at the end of the river, which was very obvious in the night. The light approached little by little and gradually became bigger.

Seeing this, Su Mu gently picked up Nannan, walked step by step to the willow tree, and placed her on the willow bed.

Then he looked up at the willow tree.

The willow tree also dropped down countless willow branches, which turned into a fortress to protect the little girl.

At this time, the green ox that was sleeping nearby also stood up and looked at the dark river surface with a vigilant look.

The wild boar hanging upside down on the willow tree also opened its eyes wide and looked towards the river in horror.

After settling down, Su Mu walked towards the river step by step, towards the light that was getting closer and closer.
