In the middle of the Great Xia Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire, there was a very small country - the Qi State, although the Qi State was small, it was one of the few independent small countries in this world.
There is a very famous mountain in the country of Qi - Fengsheng Mountain, this mountain in peacetime almost all the kings of the great powers will come here to be crowned, but now, due to the mutual distrust between the great powers, gradually no more kings come here to be crowned.
At the foot of Fengsheng Mountain, there is a small village, this village has only a few hundred people, and it doesn't even have a name, but there have been many powerful people in this village, like Qin Qun, the wind god who is now ranked among the eight masters, walked out of this village.
Today, the whole village is filled with a festive atmosphere, and before you know it, it is the last day of the year - Chinese New Year's Eve.
Just when every house was putting up lights, a child who was only eleven or twelve years old sat on a tree and watched the sunset in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Ah Tian, why are you in a daze there again" At this time, another child ran from a distance and shouted, "My mother asked you to come to my house to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together"
The child standing on the tree is named Xu Tian, his mother came here with him in her arms twelve years ago, and the village chief saw that his mother was also pitiful with a child, so he took them in, and when he was four years old, his mother died of illness, and he didn't even know who his father was, only that his mother always liked to look at the direction of the sunset when she was alive.
Xu Tian, who was at a young age, also developed a preference for looking at the direction of the sunset, that is, the direction of the Great Xia Empire, hearing the shout, Xu Tiancai came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Ming who ran over, Zhou Ming is a friend who grew up with Xu Tian since childhood, and the two have a good relationship, just like brothers.
Xu Tian jumped down from the tree and said with a smile, "Let's go" The two walked towards the village with a smile and a smile, and before they knew it, they arrived at Zhou Ming's house.
"Xiaotian, come and eat" Zhou Ming's mother shouted enthusiastically when she saw Xu Tian and Zhou Ming. Since Xu Tian's mother died, Xu Tian has eaten hundreds of meals, and Xu Tian has also behaved very well-behaved since he was a child, always helping the villagers in the village to do what he can, so he is very pleasing to the villagers.
"Thank you, Auntie" Xu Tian took the rice bowl handed over by Zhou Ming's mother and ate with Zhou Ming's family.
After the meal, Xu Tian helped wash the dishes and then returned to his home, and when he got home, Xu Tian lay on the bed and thought about his future life, after today, he will be twelve years old, and it is time to go out of the village to see the outside world.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian's eyes suddenly became firm, he must go to the place where his mother always likes to see, and see what is there.
Before dawn the next day, Xu Tian wrote a few words on the wall with charcoal, picked up a few clothes and left the village, heading west.
But not long after leaving, Xu Tian's stomach protested, Xu Tian secretly blamed himself for coming out too quickly, and ran out without bringing a little dry food, but since he had already come out, with Xu Tian's temper, it was impossible to go back so easily.
Although Xu Tian didn't bring dry food, he was not in a hurry, in this kind of mountain for a child like him who grew up in the mountains, the mountains were full of food, and soon, Xu Tian grabbed a field chicken, came to a small stream and made a fire, Xu Tian drank two sips of water first, and then killed the field chicken, washed it, and put it on the fire to roast.
After a while, the fragrance of field chickens wafted out, and just when Xu Tian was about to feast, a strong wind blew, and Xu Tian looked back and saw a white-fronted tiger with a hanging neck.
Seeing the tiger, Xu Tian's legs were suddenly scared, although the mountain villa where he was located was also in the mountain, but because it was located under the Fengsheng Peak, there were no large beasts there, so Xu Tianchang had never seen a tiger so big.
The tiger looked at Xu Tian for a while, and suddenly opened his bloody mouth and pounced, Xu Tian's frightened legs were long, he didn't listen to the call at all, and he couldn't run if he wanted to.
At this moment, the arrow shot from a distance, directly shooting the tiger to the ground, and the tiger pounced a few times and ended its life.
"Haha, Uncle Long, you see that this kid is so scared that he doesn't even dare to open his eyes" A burst of silver bell-like laughter made Xu Tian open his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a little girl about eleven years old who looked cute wearing a light blue dress and two long ponytails, and this little girl was looking at Xu Tian with a very curious look.
When Xu Tian heard the little girl's words, his face turned red with shame all of a sudden, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't say it.
"Hee-hee, Uncle Long, it's funny to see how shy he looks," the girl laughed again.
"Don't make trouble, Xiao Ruo" A middle-aged man came over and said in a loving tone, "Little brother, why did you come to this wilderness alone?"
"I, I" Xu Tian wanted to speak, but when he was nervous, his mind was blank, and he couldn't say anything.
"Hee-hee, what a silly boy," the little girl laughed again.
"I'm not a fool" Hearing the little girl's words, I don't know where the courage came from, Xu Tian said loudly.
