Chapter 1 Under the Maple Grove Mountain
Fenglin Mountain is located in Bashu, it is a little-known hill in the vast Qinling Mountains, the mountain is gentle and low, under the majestic encirclement of the Qinling Mountains in the depths, such as eggs in the nest, there is a faint wind of escapism, because there is a maple forest on the mountain, so the locals name this place Fenglin Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a valley that is not too big, a mountain spring runs through from the Qinling Mountains in the distance, forms a small Bitan in the low-lying part of the valley, and then flows into the other mountain after it is full, and then merges into the Qinling Mountains again, I don't know what it starts and what it ends.
In the pond water, I don't know when it started, there are a lot of Ogihua flowers, although here are all the villagers of the mountains and wilderness, many are illiterate, but also because of the local materials, give this pool of water a rather elegant name - Dihua Pond.
Every autumn, the maple leaves in the mountains fall with the wind, and the flowers in the pond are integrated, look at it from a distance, it seems like a flame burning on the water surface, there is fire in the water, there is water in the fire, it is not even a bit magnificent.
There are thirty or twenty small houses scattered on the bank of the pond, it is all the families who only live here, the villagers take the name of the village after the mountain, they take the name of Fenglin Village, every morning, the smoke curls between the strangers, accompanied by the bursts of chickens and dogs barking, it is a scenery.
Beyond the village is a grassy grass, a simple stone-paved sheep intestine path winds its way through the houses like a ribbon that stretches out of the village, and the only place between the village and the mountains is a mountain crack that can only be used by two people in parallel.
On the path, a lot of grass squeezed out of the cracks, swaying in the breeze with tenacious life, from a distance, it seems that there is no road, only a slightly lighter green line stretches into the village, and the surrounding scenery is integrated, without any abrupt whitewash.
At this time, it is late autumn, the maple leaves on the mountain are burning, and the flowers in the pond are like fire, which is the most beautiful time in the valley here.
On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the village of Maple Grove was as peaceful and peaceful as ever.
"Little Volcano, have you hid it?" A crisp and cheerful cry came from the mouth of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child in a house, and after one shout, several light "Wang" sounds came from the mouth of a half-sized dog beside the child. Next to the puppy, standing with the shouting children, there were four or five younger-looking children, all with mischievous smiles on their faces.
"No, no, it's going to be fine right away, you are not allowed to peek!" A reply from the same child came from afar, and there was obviously a bit of anxiety in the voice, and the children here listened to it, and couldn't help but laugh again.
The child with the puppy said proudly: "With Xiao Huang here, no matter how he hides, it's all in vain." Isn't it?", he patted the puppy's head lightly.
"Wow!" replied cheerfully the puppy.
"That's it. “
"Xiao Tian has won. “
The children around me also chimed in.
The boy named Xiaotian was even more proud, and shouted a few more loudly outside the door, "Okay, no?
This time, there was no response.
Xiao Tian glanced at his partner beside him, and without waiting any longer, he began to count.
"One ......"
"Two ......"
"Sister, what should I do?!" At the edge of the Dihua Pond behind the village, a little boy who was also fourteen or fifteen years old was looking anxiously around, as if he wanted to find a place to hide.
This child is dressed in a short shirt, his body is thin but very lively, his face is thin and delicate, and suddenly he looks at it, but there are seven points more like a girl, and the most peculiar thing is that the little boy's eyes are huge, dark and deep, like two black pearls, bright and bright, and a big abnormal person.
Beside him, a girl in a light green Luo skirt pursed her lips and smiled, it seemed that the girl's age was almost the same as Xiao Volcano, and her face was also a little childish, but compared to Xiao Volcano's active temperament, the little girl was obviously much more stable.
"It's all water here, how can you hide it?!" the little girl still smiled, "Now go and hide it in the yard!"
"No," Xiao Volcano was very stubborn, "Xiao Huang is too clever, all the places he hid before have been found by him, and he can only find new places." “
"But there's only water here. It's hard to ......"
"That's right!" the little volcano clapped his little hand, "Yes, I'll hide in this pool!"
"No!" the little girl immediately grabbed Xiao Volcano, and the smile on her face turned into worry, "This is too dangerous! Don't play, let's go back to study, be careful that Uncle will punish you for copying books!"
"Sister, don't worry, you see that this is either a flower or a maple leaf, I am hiding in it, they will not find it, I will go back with you after I win!"
"Oops......"
The little girl still wanted to dissuade her, but where could she persuade her? In the blink of an eye, the little volcano had already gone down into the water.
"You ......" the little girl couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, "then you don't have to go too far offshore!"
"Got it, got it!" the little volcano boss urged impatiently, "Sister, leave quickly, they're coming." ”
The little girl glared at him fiercely, and moved helplessly to the side, but refused to go far.
"Ten!" At this moment, the last shout came from the distant house, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his tone.
After a while, a group of children ran to the water's edge with the sound of cheerful dog barking.
"Lu Feiying, where is the little volcano hidden?" The little boy named Xiaotian said directly when he saw the little girl.
"Ah!" the little girl named Lu Feiying pouted at a house in the distance and said with a sly face, "That's it." ”
A few friends were about to look for it, just took a few steps, but saw that Xiao Huang did not follow, but kept shouting into the water, Xiao Tian suddenly stopped and said, "Wait!"
A few friends were stunned for a while.
"Lu Feiying," Xiao Tian looked at the little girl and said suspiciously, "You are Xiao Huo's sister, and you have always loved him the most, will you be so kind to help me? He won't be in the water, right?"
Lu Feiying immediately put away his smile and ignored him, his expression was very strange.
"Xiao Huang, is it here?" Looking at Lu Feiying's expression, Xiao Tian was even more convinced.
"Wangwang!" Xiao Huang wagged his tail in response, but his cry became more urgent.
"Lin Yanlan!" Ye Tianyi shouted into the water, "Come out quickly, I know you're in the water." “
However, there was no response, and the water remained calm and waveless.
"He's not in the water, so you'd better look elsewhere. Lu Fei's tone was calm, but his eyes did not leave the water.
But I didn't believe it. Ye Tianyi muttered and said to his friends, "You wait, I'll go down to catch him." With that, he went straight into the water.
Obviously, these children have always been led by him, and they all said "yes" at the moment and waited by the water.
"Hey, ......" Lu Feiying began to be a little worried when she saw that the two of them were not separated.
Ye Tianyi slowly pulled the reeds in the water, looking for them step by step, but the strange thing was that he didn't find it, seeing that the water was about to reach his neck, but there was still no Lin Yanlan.
Lu Feiying, who had been standing on the shore, began to show a worried look. But the little dog barked eagerly a few times into the water, then barked a few times, grabbed his tail and ran away, as if frightened.
What Ye Tianyi didn't know was that at this time, Lin Yanlan was lying under the water only two steps away from him, only using a hollow reed pole to expose the water surface to breathe, seeing that Ye Tianyi was about to step on himself, Lin Yanlan couldn't help but retreat again.
However, as soon as he took a step back, his feet were empty, and his body was unstable and slid out deeply, and behind him was a deep pit with a square circumference, and the four walls were like sharpening, and it was straight down.
Because in this pool, there are reeds along the shore, and the children in the village usually only play on the shore at most, clearing a little blank water surface, not wanting to bet this time, Lin Yanlan and Ye Tianyi ran and chased one by one, and unconsciously retreated to the place where they were almost in the middle of the pool.
At this time, Lin Yanlan stepped into the air, suddenly sank, and was shocked in his heart, and he was confused for a while, and water also entered the reed pipe, so he might as well choke on it, and a big blister appeared on the water surface.
"So you're here!" Ye Tian glanced at him, smiled and scolded, and dived down to arrest someone. Like Lin Yanlan, he is naughty by nature, he grew up by this waterhole since he was a child, and he is naturally a little watery.
Several children on the shore heard Ye Tianyi's laughter and scolding, and they also coaxed and shouted into the water: "Little volcano lose! Little volcano lose!"
Only Lu Feiying breathed a sigh of relief, since Lin Yanlan hid in the water, she had been hanging in her heart, for fear that something would happen, and now that she finally decided the victory, she was suddenly relieved.
Lin Yanlan choked a few mouthfuls of water one after another, and couldn't help but float to the surface, but at this moment, her feet suddenly seemed to be entangled by something, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't move anymore, but was pulled to the depths.
In a panic, Lin Yanlan hurriedly turned his head to look at his feet, but saw that there was a faint black gas around his bare feet at some point, wisps of smoke, like smoke and fog, but it was condensed but not dispersed, and that strong force came from this black gas.
A little farther away, at the bottom of the pool not far behind the black gas, there seemed to be a short black rod inserted in the mud, and the black gas like silk was emitted from there.
Where had Lin Yanlan ever seen such a strange thing, but he had encountered a water ghost, and he hurriedly waved his hands wildly, trying to swim to the surface of the water, and choked a few mouthfuls of water in panic.
At this moment, one hand grabbed Lin Yanlan's waving arm, Lin Yanlan's heart almost jumped out, and he was about to struggle, but he saw a familiar face leaning towards him from the water, naturally it was Ye Tianyi, obviously, Ye Tianyi also saw Lin Yanlan's predicament at this time, and his face was also very anxious.
Lin Yanlan grabbed the aquatic plants on the edge of the pit with one hand, and grabbed Ye Tianyi with the other hand, trying to swim to the surface of the water, but the strange black qi under his feet didn't know what kind of evil spirit, and the power was amazing, and the two of them were still pulled towards the center of the pit little by little under the combined force.
No matter how hard the two tried, they just couldn't break free, and only spit out bubbles on the water from time to time. Seeing this, the children on the shore all changed their faces and gradually ran away, leaving only Lu Feiying with a frightened face.
"Xiao Lan! Xiao Lan!" The bubbles that kept popping up above the water made Lu Feiying's heart frightened, however, no matter how she shouted, she just didn't see anyone coming up, and if she went on like this, I was afraid that the two people under the water would be more than lucky. Even Xiao Huang seemed to sense the unknown danger, and screamed at the center of the pool.
After hesitating for a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind, Lu Feiying bit his lip hard, brushed aside the reeds and ran towards the center of the water.
However, as soon as Lu Feiying took three or five steps, he suddenly felt a flash in front of him, and a figure quickly flashed and fell into the place where Lin Yanlan was drowning in front of him, and in a moment, after only hearing the sound of water, the figure shot out from the water and fell to the shore, holding a person between his hands, it was Lin Yanlan and Ye Tianyi.
