Time flows by slowly and steadily.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Shou is 10 years old.

He's already grown into a handsome young man.

Just when Qin Shou thought that such peaceful and tranquil days would continue, an unexpected event occurred.

The eldest brother is dead!

He was beaten to death!

The incident began when a spoiled brat from a family of cultivators bullied a beautiful woman in the street. The eldest disciple stepped in to help, but was later beaten so badly that his intestines were spilled out.

When the eldest disciple reached the foot of the sect's mountain, he was already dead.

Qin Shou witnessed his senior brother's horrific state firsthand; his limbs were severed, and his intestines were spilling out...

Enraged, the master rushed up the mountain, grabbed his great sword, and went to avenge his senior brother.

Unexpectedly, the opposing family was extremely powerful, with several Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there.

The master had his leg broken and his spiritual root destroyed. He was left to soak in a cesspool at the foot of the mountain for three days and three nights.

After returning to the mountain, the master locked himself in his room and didn't say a word.

After learning about this, the senior sister hugged Qin Shou and cried for several days and nights until her eyes were swollen.

I feel so sorry for my senior!

But I'm just a useless person who can't cultivate!

Qin Shou was heartbroken by his senior brother's departure, and at the same time, he thought his senior brother was a bit of an idiot!

In the world of cultivation, if you have no strength but meddle in other people's business, aren't you just asking for death?

You're not the main character, and you don't have the protagonist's halo, so no one will save you in crucial moments.

Look how clear-headed those people are, watching that woman get harassed and watching you get your intestines ripped out!

Haha, what a bullshit world.

......

At the mountaintop.

There is a solitary grave.

A lonely little grave

The tombstone in front of the grave reads: "Tomb of Hao Zhengyi, the eldest disciple of the Kaoshan Sect".

This is the tomb that Qin Shou and his senior sister built together for their senior brother.

On this day,

Qin Shou carried the wine jar to the grave, poured a bowl of wine, and placed it under the tombstone.

"Senior brother, this is the wine I brewed for you myself, and it's also your favorite."

"Senior brother, your departure has saddened Master and Senior Sister, and I am also deeply grieved."

"Senior brother, the beautiful woman you saved, upon hearing that the man was a young master from a family of cultivators, offered herself to him and became his concubine."

"Senior brother, Master went down the mountain to avenge you, but his cultivation was crippled."

"Senior brother, I...miss you a little."

The mountains rise one after another, and a gentle breeze blows.

Qin Shou sat in front of the tombstone for a long time, talking incessantly until the sun set.

Qin Shou got up and went down the mountain.

Before leaving, he carefully poured the wine from the bowl back into the wine pot.

Aoyama: ? ? ?

Sunset: ? ? ?

The eldest disciple in the tomb:............

"Senior brother, I'll keep this bowl of wine for you for now. When I bring back the head of my enemy to pay tribute to you one day, I'll offer you this bowl of spring breeze wine."

"So, senior brother, in heaven, please pray that I, your junior brother, will draw a super spiritual root."

"well......"

Qin Shou sighed, picked up the wine jar, and staggered away.

My dear senior brother, I've lost another family member!

......

night.

Qin Shou and his senior sister sat at the dining table, eating in silence.

The master hasn't eaten for several days.

......

Two years later.

The master died of depression.

Qin Shou built a new grave next to his senior brother's tombstone, with the inscription: "Tomb of Zhang Cuishan, Sect Leader of the Kaoshan Sect".

"Master, your disciple is incompetent and unable to avenge you."

Qin Shou kowtowed heavily before the tombstone, tears streaming down his face.

For Qin Shou, this old man was the first ray of light after his parents passed away in this life.

He gave Qin Shou a home, and a pair of loving senior brothers and sisters.

night,

Senior sister hugged Qin Shou and cried.

She cried her eyes out.

At that moment,

Qin Shou deeply felt his senior sister's sorrow and despair.

"Junior brother, your senior brother is gone, and Master is gone too."

"From now on, it will just be the two of us on Turtle Mountain, relying on each other for survival."

"Junior brother, I'm so scared. I'm afraid that one day you'll leave me too, waaaaah~~~"

"Senior sister, I won't leave you. I'll stay on the mountain and always be with you."

Qin Shou stretched out his arms and hugged his senior sister tightly.

He was afraid, afraid that one day, his senior sister would also leave him.

In that case, he would truly be the only person left in the world.

Cultivating immortality, achieving eternal life...

......

Life went on as usual in the years that followed.

Qin Shou fetched water, planted vegetables, chopped firewood, and watched his senior sister cultivate every day.

My senior sister cooks, eats, cultivates, cultivates, and cultivates again every day.

night,

The two always slept nestled together, as if seeking warmth in this cold world.

Qin Beast continued to draw prizes on time every day.

Thank you for your patronage.

Thank you for your patronage.

【Thanks...............】

Sometimes Qin Shou even felt that this was a joke that God was playing on him, a very lame joke.

......

Six years later.

The thing Qin Shou feared still happened.

That year, Qin Shou was 18 years old and still hadn't drawn a spiritual root.

But my senior sister is going down the mountain!

Qin Shou remembered that the snow that day was very heavy, very heavy.

Snowflakes covered the mountains and rivers, and the entire world.

My senior sister, dressed in red, stood in the snow. She was so beautiful, so... poignantly beautiful!

"Junior brother, I've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but I still can't establish my foundation."

"My master once said that cultivators need to experience the world."

"Junior brother, your senior sister doesn't want to die of old age on this mountain. She wants to establish her foundation and also wants to avenge Master and senior brother."

"Junior brother, senior sister is going down the mountain."

"Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you'll come back to see me."

"You need to be a good girl and take good care of yourself, okay?"

Senior sister gently stroked Qin Shou's head, her tender eyes glistening with tears, so bright and worried.

"Senior sister, please don't leave!"

Qin Shou was heartbroken, tears glistening in his eyes.

He gripped his senior sister's hand tightly:

"Senior sister, you are my only family left."

"Junior brother, I'm sorry."

The woman in red resolutely turned around, wiped away her tears, and ran down the mountain.

"Senior sister, I'll miss you."

Qin Beast shouted:

I will definitely, definitely miss you.

"Junior brother, your senior sister will miss you too."

Watching that red-clad figure resolutely walk away.

Qin Shou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He knew that his senior sister might never come back.

This farewell is forever, as evidenced by the boundless snowstorm.

Senior sister, I really miss you!

......

Qin Shou charged back up the mountain against the snowflakes.

He buried his head in the blanket and wept bitterly.

She cried and cried until she was exhausted, then fell asleep.

the next day,

The sun still rises.

Qin Shou began his day as usual.

Get up, wash up, and eat breakfast.

Carrying water, chopping wood, washing clothes

Start cooking at noon.

"My senior sister left today, so I need to eat more to fill my sorrow."

Qin Shou said this.

After eating, I went back inside and took a nap.

After waking up, the day's lottery activities began.

Thank you for your patronage.

"As expected, I'm really unlucky."

Qin Shou went out of the house and started chopping firewood in the yard. He planned to build a fence for the vegetable garden to prevent animals from the mountains from running out and trampling the vegetables.

When I got tired, I lay down under the eaves and watched the white clouds drift by in the sky.

"Senior sister, I'm hungry."

Qin Shou instinctively shouted.

Then it dawned on me.

"Oh, my senior sister, she's gone."

Qin Shou walked to the eaves and carved a mark on the pillar.

Today is the first day since my senior left.

After that,

The first thing he does every morning is to carve a mark on the pillar.

Today is the second day since my senior left.

Today is the third day since my senior sister left.

Today is the fourth day since my senior left.
