Chapter 3: Desire

The conversation in the house, Cheng Xiaoxi is completely unaware. He stayed in the tree for a while, and slowly, feeling a little bored, he went into the house as well.

Sitting next to Cheng Xiuwen, he looked at Cheng Xiuwen and said, "Father, isn't my illness about to be cured?

He has lived here since he was a child, and Cheng Xiaoxi has been going to Danshan Town to catch the market every day in addition to the mountains and down, since he was sensible, he has been living like this every day, he has long wanted to stay here, and he always wants to go to the outside world to see.

"In a few days, your illness will be completely cured, and then I will find you some more things, and see if you can succeed in channeling at that time, and when this matter is over, you can leave here." Cheng Xiuwen felt a little guilty in his heart, he turned over, didn't dare to look at his son's eyes, thinking that he could only wait for his son's poison to be completely resolved, and then try again.

"Xiaoxi, in fact, my father and mother never hope that you will be able to fly away in the future and be unparalleled in the world, we only hope that you can live a peaceful and happy life. Qin Rou couldn't bear it, her voice was a little sad, her son's situation was a bit special, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to channel until now.

"I know, don't worry, mother, I can definitely practice. ”

Cheng Xiaoxi couldn't bear to see his mother sad, and forced a smile on his face, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart, afraid of being seen by his parents, he quickly turned his head and looked out the window.

As it got dark, the room was lit with oil lamps, and the dim light shone through the windows to the outside, and the unlit areas became even darker.

Looking at the bleak world outside the house, Cheng Xiaoxi's mood became more complicated. He has reached the age of twelve, and when he is at the age when he should enter the academy for cultivation, when the residual poison on his body is removed, his parents will send him to the academy to practice, and then he will have to live alone.

"Hey!"

On the one hand, there is a long-awaited world outside the mountains, and on the other hand, it is about to be separated from his parents, which is really incomprehensible.

......

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed.

Longquan Mountain is an unknown place~~~

Under a towering tree, Cheng Xiaoxi was lying on the ground, one arm stretched into the tree hole with all his might, the other hand waving wildly, and his mouth was still shouting: "I still want to escape, this time you can't hide!"

"Don't say that I bullied you, I'll give you a chance today, if you want to come out by yourself, I'll let you leave, otherwise when I catch it, I'll cook you to eat meat!"

The mountain wind blew slowly, curling the hair of the stream, and he was in a hurry to dig it out, but he still couldn't reach the position of the hare, thinking that the rabbit was not idle on weekdays, and the hole was dug very deep, so he scolded angrily.

After several efforts, he really couldn't reach the hare, he rolled his eyes, then took off the short knife on his waist, and pried it up at the entrance of the hole little by little, as if he was on the bar with the rabbit.

The tree, some years old, the wood is very hard, pry into a stream and his hands hurt, but before he could expand the hole much, there was a flutter in the hole, and he saw a huge gray-black rabbit rushing out, and he was afraid that it would weigh several pounds.

"Hahaha...... I knew you couldn't hold your breath, so now it's up to you where you run. Seeing the hare come out, Cheng Xiaoxi smiled, and hurriedly used both hands and feet, and took it down on the spot and threw it into the bag.

Maybe the head is too small, so it is not very smart, the hare did not struggle, I am afraid it does not want to live, otherwise why run out and send it to death, after all, this hole is so deep, with the strength of a young man, I am afraid that it can be pried for several days.

"Hahaha...... Who else?"

After tying up the bag, leaning his back against the trunk of the tree, and resting for a while, a cheap smile suddenly appeared on his dirty face, as if he was deeply impressed by his own wit.

......

The night of Longquan Mountain is very cool, even if the sun is shining, in the evening, the temperature will drop suddenly. But this is nothing, Cheng Xiaoxi heard his parents say that it is strange in the Northland Wasteland, wearing a short shirt at noon, but at night he can splash water into ice.

The dim oil lamp worked hard to shine brightly, illuminating the room clearly. The family of three sat around the table, Qin Rou made her son's favorite roasted rabbit meat with green bamboo shoots, steamed a silver scale fish caught by his father, and the three of them ate it with relish.

"Hmm...... Creek, when I was fishing today, I saw the turtle on the rocks on the other side of the river, and it looked like it was basking in the sun. ”

Cheng Xiuwen didn't raise his head, chewed rabbit meat in his mouth, and said slowly.

"It can't be that you're hungry again, are you?" but I only took a spirit worm for it to eat two days ago......" Cheng Xiaoxi looked at his father suspiciously.

As soon as he heard this, Cheng Xiuwen was not calm in an instant, he put down his chopsticks suddenly, rolled up his sleeves again, looked like he was about to clean up people, and said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, you actually took my spirit worm to that turtle to eat, did you not beat you for a while, you started to itch again!"

"Father, you don't know, it was almost fainting from hunger, and it turned over on all fours on that stone, and if I hadn't fed it, you wouldn't have seen it today. Cheng Xiaoxi hurriedly shrunk into the chair and looked very scared, and his mouth was not idle, trying to argue for himself.

"So you're still doing good deeds?" Cheng Xiuwen just teased him, and he didn't really punish his son in his heart, he had seen this turtle several times over the years, and it was a little unusual to think about it, and he doubted: "This turtle is also rare, I can't tell what breed it is at all, and the speed is extremely fast, and it will disappear without a trace in a blink of an eye, even if I do my best, I'm afraid I can't catch up, next time you see it again, you must be careful." ”

Anyway, I've fed it many times, this turtle is really so powerful, it should have a conscience, right?

Cheng Xiaoxi bit his chopsticks, he believed that the turtle couldn't do such an ungrateful thing, so he said disapplausively: "Father, you don't know, I am good friends with that turtle, otherwise why can I get close to feed it, but when I see you, it has to avoid it." ”

"Uh......"

Cheng Xiuwen didn't know how to refute it for a while, what his son said seemed to have some truth, he couldn't help but look out of the house, only to see the moon pouring in the sky, showing the world outside the window clearly.

He carefully observed for a while, but still didn't find anything, but he faintly felt in his heart that with the magic of that turtle, maybe it was still lying on its stomach somewhere at this time, quietly looking at this place.

Longquan Mountain is known as the grave of cultivators, and few people will come here unless they are forced to do so. Living in this mountain, vigilance is indispensable, any carelessness can lead to accidents, so many years of living here, the couple is already very experienced.

Qin Rou looked at her husband and saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, just staring out the window, so she took over and said, "Your father is also for your good, there are countless fierce birds and beasts on this Longquan Mountain, and with your father's cultivation, you can only move below the middle of the mountain, and you run around in this mountain all day long, so you are worried about your safety if you are careful." ”

What his parents said was right, Cheng Xiaoxi had long understood the danger on Longquan Mountain, but he still believed in his own feelings, if that turtle wanted to hurt himself, why did he have to eat his own things, he could have done it a few years ago, why did he have to wait until now?

He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it, so he quickly promised his mother, saying that he would definitely pay special attention in the future, and then went to the wall, picked up a three-foot rattan hanging on the wall, pushed the door open and walked out.

Soon, there was a "......clucking" scream outside the door, accompanied by the fluttering of wings and the cry of the stream, which turned out to be to drive away the pheasants.

In the room, Cheng Xiuwen also came back to his senses, he picked up the bowl, ate the last small piece of rice in his mouth, chewed it shallowly three times, moved his throat, and swallowed it.

"Brother Wen, Xiaoxi's fate is bumpy, and his personality is extremely stubborn, I'm afraid that his future road will not be easy......" As she spoke, Qin Rou packed up the dishes, chopsticks, plates and plates and entered the kitchen.

"There is nothing wrong with his body, but if today's spiritual power is becoming scarcer and rarer, and it is difficult to find slightly better spiritual treasures, it is extremely difficult for cultivators such as us to keep the realm from falling, and the road in the future depends on his own creation after all, our children are a little special!"
