In the laughter of several people, a group of people went to the mountain, since a few people have been together into the mountain, everything in the mountain is quite familiar, the sunset has just set, the three of them came to the tea valley.

Catechu Valley is one of the few flat lands in Yaowang Mountain, after the village pickers enter the mountain, they will generally stop here to rest, because the number of people who come here to pick is more, the whole piece of catechu has disappeared before, only some scattered herbs remain, sparsely distributed around.

found a leeward place, set up a simple tent, and Hu Yu and the three of them rested here. Along the way, Hu Yu asked Qiao Yin many times to let Ning Lei carry him up the mountain, but Qiao Yin sternly refused, and Qiao Yin experienced the bitter fruit at this time.

Limped into the tent, carefully took off his shoes, only to find that his entire right foot was red and swollen, especially the place where it was cut by the stone, and a trace of pus had oozed out.

Qiao Yin's tears flowed down uncontrollably, the hateful Hu Xiaoyu, obviously seeing that he couldn't walk, only knew that let that stupid big man carry himself, can't you take the initiative to carry me, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the catechin branch that had just been picked in my hand had been ravaged by Qiao Yin at this time, and only the bare branches remained.

Ning Lei, who had just set up the fire frame, came to the outside of the tent and looked at Qiao Yin's red and swollen little feet, with a heartache on his face.

"I don't say a word when my feet are ground like this, I'll treat the wound for you first, and I'll bring it to you when the potion is ready, and you can sit and recuperate with peace of mind." ”

After saying that, he reached out and lifted Qiao Yin's little feet, and applied the ointment he brought with him, Ning Lei's movements on his hands were very meticulous, which did not match his tall figure at all.

Hu Yu also followed into the tent, originally wanting to educate Qiao Yin, but looking at Ning Lei's heart-wrenching expression and the caring action, the words that had reached his mouth were forcibly swallowed back by him, and he changed his words and said: "Da Lei, seeing Yinzi's appearance, I won't be able to rush tomorrow, so in this way, tomorrow I will go up the mountain first, you stay and take care of Xiao Yin, and when she is better, you will come to me again." ”

"No, I'm fine, I'll be fine tomorrow, I'll be able to keep up with you. ”

Qiao Yin listened to Hu Yu's arrangement, but she didn't do it, and strongly asked to follow Hu Yu.

"No, you just stay here, I will wait for you at the peak, I am also for your good, if you don't listen, don't rely on me if you become a little cripple in the future, think about Uncle Zhou's usual walking, tsk. ”

Uncle Zhou in Hu Yu's mouth is the boss of the Zhou family in the village, because he went into the mountains to hunt once, accidentally fell off the cliff and broke a leg, and later became lame after being cured.

"Yes, just listen to Xiao Yu, I'll go find you some herbs again, and promise to cure you tomorrow." ”

Ning Lei on the side also opened his mouth to persuade.

looked at Hu Yu, then at Ning Lei, and finally thought of Uncle Zhou's usual walking, Qiao Yin shuddered, if he was lame, Brother Yu would definitely not like himself, finally, Xiao Nizi no longer insisted on following Hu Yu to hurry tomorrow, and whispered in frustration: "Brother Yu, you must be careful on the road, and when my feet are good tomorrow, we will come to you." ”

"Hehe, your brother Yu and I have been churning in this mountain since I was a child, those stupid roe deer in the mountains all know my breath, and they slipped away from afar, even if they meet jackals, tigers and leopards, I can knock them down with my bare hands, there is nothing to worry about, you just obediently recuperate here, and when the injury is healed, we will go together to catch the monkey and vent for you." ”

"Well, I know that Brother Yu is the most powerful. ”

"No, Xiao Yu, the last time I met a tiger, we looked at each other for a long time, and you didn't go up to beat it, and in the end the tiger left by itself. ”

Ning Lei's honest voice ruthlessly exposed Hu Yu's old bottom, and Hu Yu's face, which was thicker than the city wall, was flushed at the moment, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"If you can't chat, you don't have to talk, take good care of Yinzi, and when the potion is ready, remember to put it on Yinzi, and I'll go around the neighborhood." ”

Staring at Ning Lei fiercely, Hu Yu ran away after leaving the next sentence, from childhood to adulthood, no matter who it was in the entire village, no one could say anything about Hu Yu, but Ning Lei seemed to be honest and clumsy, but he often said Hu Yu speechless in one sentence, and finally could only hide his face and flee.

The night passed in a hurry, and the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Hu Yu opened his eyes, combed it briefly, said goodbye to the two, and walked towards the mountains alone.

Walking alone, without the two of them to accompany him to gag, Hu Yu's mouth was not idle, he kept humming a small tune along the way, occasionally encountered a ripe wild fruit, took two bites, and argued with himself which fruit tasted better, so that this slightly lonely journey was no longer so lonely.

The weather in May has become more and more summery, and the more you go to the depths of the mountain, the temperature is getting lower and lower, Hu Yu, who has been on the road for a day, rested not far from the peak, and then went forward, it is the peak that has been covered with ice and snow all year round, it is not a wise choice to spend the night there, set up a fire, and roast a hare that has just been brought on the fire, Hu Yu took out a booklet from his arms, and read it carefully.

"Refining a hundred qi and turning into a spirit, gathering the soul and entering the mind, the spiritual will is a yuan, and I don't know which dead Taoist priest wrote it, you write clearly how to practice these things, and it records the method of practicing qi, master, I don't want to talk about a hundred qi over the years, I have practiced enough of thousands of qi, all kinds of methods have been tried, and I haven't figured out how to channel, I don't know if it's written on it to deceive people, and I believe in you, the ghost of the dead Taoist. ”

After reading the booklet, Hu Yu couldn't help but complain again, since he entered the mountain at the age of ten and accidentally got this booklet, Hu Yu has been insisting on practicing qi according to the method on the booklet, and the effect is not bad, at least since practicing qi, he has improved a lot in terms of strength and physical agility, and there is still a breath of qi in his body that has been circulating, but Hu Yu can't control it himself.

However, the booklet only recorded the method of practicing qi, and some miscellaneous things, and then said some very profound words, and it was gone, Hu Yu has explored many times according to his own ideas over the years, but each time he has not succeeded, and even once the qi in his body was divided, and he lay in bed for half a month before he got better.

So every time I read the booklet over the years, Hu Yu couldn't help but complain about the person who wrote this booklet, how could there be a reason to do half of the work, why didn't he write all the rest of the methods on it, which made Hu Yu angry, but this booklet is also Hu Yu's favorite thing, and he has always carried it with him, and he will touch it out and read it again when he has free time, and try to see if he can inspire it.

"Hey, I've searched the entire Yaowang Mountain all these years, but I haven't found a second such booklet, can't the secret on this booklet be solved in this life? Forget it, I don't want to do this, I will go up and observe the monkey tomorrow, I hope to pick the snow lotus back, seeing that the third uncle's condition is getting more and more serious, I hope that this snow lotus can cure the third uncle's illness." ”

And Ning Lei and Qiao Yin, who were cultivating in the Catechampa Valley, had also fallen asleep at this time.

Qiao Yin had a very strange dream, he dreamed that the snow covering the top of Yaowang Mountain all day long had turned blood red, and the hateful monkey had become huge, and the hair on its entire body had also turned into a strange blood red, Hu Yu was holding the snow lotus at this time and stood at the feet of the monkey, and his height was not as high as the monkey's soles, the monkey opened its bloody mouth, and the sharp edge of its long fangs was clearly visible, and it was biting towards Hu Yu, seeing that Hu Yu was about to be bitten down by the monkey, Qiao Yin shouted no, and then woke up from the dream。

Qiao Yin sat up in shock, her whole body was already soaked with sweat, she reached out and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, and then looked up in the direction of the top of the mountain, the snow-white peak outlined a beautiful golden edge under the reflection of the rising sun, the sky was already transparent, and the sun was about to come out.
