Chapter 181: The Day of the Mountain Closure
Ten years later, Xu Feihang began his second conquest of the Tree King, this time without his father's company, and he had to climb the canopy alone.
I have to say that Xu Feihang's physical strength is really not as good as when he was a child, and he only climbed a height of more than ten meters, and Xu Feihang began to be out of breath. It seems that he has played too many games in normal times, Xu Feihang thought to himself while wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. After entering the university, I basically can't do sports until physical education class, and the consequence of sitting in the dormitory all day is that I become more and more lazy, and now climbing trees has become a very difficult task.
However, Xu Feihang still remembers that his father taught him how to rest on the safety rope, and he put all the weight of his body on the safety rope and stopped to look at the mountains and forests in front of him.
Some of the leaves in the forest have been dyed with some color by the autumn wind, and they sway gently in the wind, like clouds floating in the sky. Captain Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, the surrounding scenery was still so beautiful, and the trees in those mountains and forests showed a thriving scene at any time.
It's like a magical power, like the endless energy contained in the mountain forest, which can make the trees on the mountain grow vigorously no matter how many years have passed. That's why in the mountains and forests, there is a legend about the mountain god.
Xu Feihang remembered a story that his father once told him, when he was a child walking in the mountains and forests with his father, his father said that there is actually a mountain god living in this mountain, and the mountain god can bless the trees on the mountain to grow forever, and it is precisely because of the existence of the mountain god that the ancestors who live here will have endless trees.
The mountain god usually doesn't come out, but every year it patrols the mountains for a day, and on this day it doesn't want to see humans cut down trees. Therefore, the mountain people set this day as the day of the mountain closure, and no one can go up the mountain on the day of the mountain closure, so as not to anger the mountain god.
But a long time ago, there was a man who kept persuading him to go up the mountain alone, and when the day of closure was over, everyone went to the mountain to look for him, but they couldn't find the shadow of that person in every corner, and that person never appeared again.
The young Xu Feihang was a little scared after hearing this, and he asked timidly, "Dad, was that person eaten by the mountain god?"
After hearing this, my father laughed, "The mountain god does not eat people, and I heard the old man in the village say that because that person angered the mountain god, the mountain god turned him into a tree in the mountain forest." ”
Xu Feihang was frightened for a moment, and when he looked at the standing trees around him again, he had a completely different feeling, he really thought that one of them was changed by a person who disappeared before. Xu Feihang also had a nightmare about this, he dreamed that when his father was going up the mountain to cut down a tree, blood actually flowed from the body of the tree when he went down with an axe, which made Xu Feihang wake up in an instant.
With the story of the mountain god, Xu Feihang has a stronger interest in going up the mountain, and every time he follows his father into the mountain forest, he also looks forward to whether he will accidentally run into the mountain god. For Xu Feihang at that time, the mountains became a place full of mystery and adventure.
However, Xu Feihang also has naughty times, especially when he is wronged and can't find a place to vent, Xu Feihang will go into the mountains without hesitation, hoping that the mountain god who lives in it can administer justice for himself.
And once, the time when Xu Feihang ran into the mountains and forests turned out to be on the day of the mountain closure. Xu Feihang couldn't remember what mistake he had made at the beginning, anyway, he was beaten a few times by his father, so Xu Feihang ran all the way out, and when he found himself at the entrance of the mountain forest, a red ribbon was horizontal in the middle of the entrance.
Xu Feihang remembered that today was the annual mountain closure day, so his father would stay at home all day, and none of the men in the village would go up the mountain. Xu Feihang's mind flashed through the story about the mountain god, and he suddenly felt that his sad self could finally be relieved, and if he was turned into a tree by the mountain god, he would no longer have to be scolded by his parents.
Xu Feihang voluntarily got under the ribbon and got in, he ran deeper and deeper in the mountains and forests, and finally even he couldn't identify the direction.
An hour later, Xu Feihang's parents found that their son was missing, and searched the entire village but could not find any trace of their son.
"Hanghang, go up the mountain!" Xu Feihang's father said anxiously, today is the annual mountain closure day, according to the regulations of the village, no one can go up the mountain today.
Xu Feihang's father fell into an extremely contradictory state, although he may not fully believe in the legend of the mountain god, but he has lived in the mountains since he was a child, he has a sense of awe for the mountains and forests in front of him, and he has lived for most of his life, and he has never violated the regulations of the mountain closure day. But the son must have run into the mountains and forests, if he was accidentally bitten by insects and snakes, or fell in the mountains, the consequences would be unimaginable, which made him have to enter the mountains on the day of the closure. Seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, Xu Feihang's father was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
On that day, something happened in the village that was enough to go down in history, all the men, women and children in the village gathered at the entrance of the mountain forest, and they cut the ribbon of the mountain under the leadership of the village elders, and everyone broke the ancestral rules and went into the mountain to find Xu Feihang's whereabouts on the day of the mountain closure.
Later, Xu Feihang's father told him that the villagers had been looking for a long time but had not found his location, and just when the sky was about to completely darken, a heavy fog suddenly appeared on the mountain without warning, and the fog blocked everyone's vision.
Xu Feihang's father was also at a loss, because in the face of the thick fog, he couldn't see the road under his feet clearly, let alone look for his son. My father stood in the middle of the forest, anxious like a fly without a head, but just in front of his fingers, my father suddenly felt a force pulling him, and this force took him in one direction and kept moving forward, and my father's feet were like walking flat in the rugged mountain road.
Soon, the fog gradually lifted, and my father began to be able to see the trees around him, and the force that pulled him away gradually disappeared, and my father's footsteps finally stopped at this time.
The familiar crying sound came not far ahead, and my father heard Xu Feihang's cry in helplessness and fear, "Mom and Dad, come and save me!"
