Chapter 2: In the Magic Mountain

In the evening, an old man with gray hair walked back from outside the village, carrying a basket full of herbs.

The old man's name is Tang Dynasty, because he has almost the same name as the Tang Dynasty, and he is the only elder in the village who knows how to heal, so he is very respected by the name of the village and is the head of a village.

Tang Dynasty walked into the small village, many people greeted him, when passing by the door of the fat tiger's house, the fat tiger father came over and complained to him: "Village chief, is this Tang Xiaoshu too much, today the fat tiger just said Ah Hua, Tang Xiaoshu actually pressed him to the ground to beat, you must be the master of the fat tiger." ”

Tang Chao waved his hand and looked into the house, and happened to see a fat child applying medicine, he not only beckoned to him: "Little fatty, come, let grandpa see your injuries." ”

The fat tiger walked out with a drooping face, and complained: "Grandpa the village chief, Tang Xiaoshu doesn't work again, and he is still dirty, why do you want him to stay in our village? Isn't the city dozens of miles away recruiting soldiers, let him be a soldier!"

The village chief put down the basket, took out a mill and a few herbs from it, crushed the herbs with the mill, carefully smeared them on the fat tiger's wound, and said softly: "Child, Xiaoshu has a hard life, and when he was a child, he could grow up with Ah Hua, and Ah Hua is the same as his biological parents to Xiao Shu." Think about it, if someone said something nasty to your Abba and Auntie, would you be angry?"

Fat Tiger lowered his head guiltily and muttered, "But the village chief...... What I'm saying is also true, Ah Hua is dying, you see that it can't walk, and it doesn't even eat much forage. ”

"But you shouldn't have said it on purpose to irritate the little tree!" the village chief rubbed his head.

"Grandpa the village chief, I'...... I was wrong, I'm going to apologize to Xiaoshu!" After the fat tiger finished speaking, he really ran towards the sheepfold, and said embarrassedly: "Xiaoshu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said something like that during the day." ”

Tang Xiaoshu glanced at him in a daze, grinned, and did not speak. Fat Tiger endured the feeling of vomiting and gasped for air after trotting back.

"Grandpa the village chief, I have already apologized to Xiaoshu. ”

Tang Chao smiled: "Well, that's good." It's getting late, so let's get inside. ”

"Hmm!"

After the fat tiger left, the middle-aged man was still a little puzzled: "Village chief, in fact, you and I both know that Xiaoshu's origin is unknown, why don't you send him to the army, so that he can not only exercise his character, but also grow his ability, how good." ”

Who knows, Tang Chao suddenly sank his face and said: "Don't say it, Ah Hua is the reverse scale of the little tree, and the little tree is my reverse scale! This child is kind by nature, if you don't provoke him, he will never do anything to hurt people." ”

It was the first time for a middle-aged man to see this appearance of the Tang Dynasty, and he hurriedly shut up, even if he still had complaints in his heart, it was not easy to show it again.

Tang Chao's face was relieved: "Okay, it's not early, let's go into the house and rest early." ”

After saying that, he also left here and walked towards the sheepfold. Seeing Tang Xiaoshu, who was hugging Ah Hua tightly, he smiled and said, "Xiaoshu, get up, grandpa brought you something delicious." ”

When Tang Xiaoshu heard Tang Chao's words, he suddenly stepped forward and said in surprise: "Grandpa, you're back!"

"Well, let's go home. ”

"Grandpa, I'll help you carry the basket. ”

An old man and a young man helped each other into a stone house. Lighting the oil lamp, Tang Chao took out a fat hare from the back basket, and immediately, in Tang Xiaoshu's impatient gaze, skillfully peeled, chopped, and cooked the hare. In a short time, a pot of delicious hare soup was ready.

"Little tree, eat quickly. Tang Chao laughed. Tang Xiaoshu wiped his saliva and couldn't wait to take a bowl of hare soup, but he didn't use it himself, but handed it to Tang Chao: "Grandpa, you eat first." ”

Tang Chao took it with a smile: "Xiaoshu is really sensible. ”

Tang Xiaoshu grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and after seeing Tang Chao move his chopsticks, he couldn't wait to take advantage of his bowl and feast on it.

Under the dim oil lamp, the old and the young looked very warm.

After the meal, Tang Xiaoshu took the initiative to brush the dishes and clean the house, and then said good night to the old man, walked out of the stone house and entered the sheepfold, and fell asleep heavily by Ah Hua.

Tang Chao sighed: "Alas, hard-working child, the minister is ashamed of you......"

Tang Xiaoshu did not sleep in the house, not because Tang Chao was unwilling, but because Tang Xiaoshi insisted on doing so.

The Tang Dynasty sat alone in a stone house, and it was much later that he fell into his hometown.

The night was deep, and there was a crescent moon in the sky.

The early spring night is still very cold, and although there is no biting cold wind, you may still freeze to death by sleeping outside. But Tang Xiaoshu seems to be used to it, as long as he relies on Ah Hua, he can sleep very peacefully.

However, in the night, three dark figures crept towards the sheepfold.

"This beast dares to beat my brother! Hmph, don't you really care about your Ah Hua, then I'll throw him into the magic mountain and fall to his death, so that you can't find his bones!"

One of them spoke in a low voice, and the other two both showed worried expressions: "Fat Xiaolong, isn't it a little unauthentic for us to do this?

"What are you afraid of? Who will find us when the night is dark and windy? When the time comes, it will be said that Ah Hua was taken away by a wild wolf, and we are going to chase the wild wolf!" said the fat little dragon.

With the help of moonlight, it can be seen that the three of them are not very old, similar to Tang Xiaoshu. However, the three of them were extremely strong, and the outside temperature was very low, but they were only wearing a gown, revealing their strong muscles, and their blood was strong.

After some planning, the fat dragon gritted his teeth, and immediately dragged the goat away, and the three of them ran away, leaving the village in the blink of an eye.

Tang Xiaoshu in his sleep only felt that his body was cold, he was suddenly startled, and when he woke up, he found that Ah Hua was gone!

"Ah Hua, Ah Hua, where are you? Ah Hua!" Tang Xiaoshu anxiously looked around. At this moment, a wolf howl suddenly sounded outside the village, Tang Xiaoshu's face changed suddenly, and he chased out of the village: "Ah Hua!"

The movement alarmed the entire village, Tang Chao hurriedly got up, rushed out before he had time to get dressed, and saw Tang Xiaoshu running towards the outside of the village, he immediately shouted: "Xiaoshu, come back!

While shouting, he also chased out.

But Tang Xiaoshu's speed was too fast, the Tang Dynasty couldn't catch up at all, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Xiaoshu disappeared into the mountains and disappeared.

"Little tree, come back quickly!" he shouted in a hurry. The villagers ran out to ask what was going on, and the Tang Dynasty told Tang Xiaoshu about running out of the village, and the villagers were shocked at first, and then showed a look of indifference.

"Village chief, don't worry, maybe Xiaoshu is just going out to play, it's fine. ”

"Yes, village chief, hasn't Xiaoshu suddenly run out before? ”

......

They said so on their lips, but in their hearts, they wished that Tang Xiaoshu would never come back.

Tang Chao sighed heavily: "Alas, I'll find it myself!"

With that, he went back to the house, got a coat, and went into the mountain with an oil lamp.

"Does the village chief care too much about Tang Xiaoshu?"

The villagers were puzzled, Tang Xiaoshu was just a child he picked up, could he care so much?

The three of Fat Xiaolong rushed towards the magic mountain at a very fast speed, and when they approached, the three of them suddenly stopped. One of them looked at the fat dragon: "Brother Xiaolong, this is ...... This place is too infiltrating, or ...... Just throw it here, right?"

Fat Xiaolong gritted his teeth: "No! If you throw it here, wouldn't Tang Xiaoshu's bastard find out at a glance?" We have to leave clues and lead him into the Demon Mountain, and it's best not to let him come out again!"

"But...... This magic mountain...... It's terrible, my father said that he saw a wild boar run into the magic mountain and die, we ......," the man whispered.

Fat Xiaolong glared at him: "Duck, are you scared?!"

"I ......" The young man called the duck shrank his head, wanting to say that he was not afraid, but his legs and stomach were spinning, and he was clearly afraid.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoshu's voice came from behind the three of them.

"Ah Hua, Ah Hua, where are you? Ah Hua ......"

Fat Xiaolong's eyes showed a look of horror: "How can this kid chase so fast, we only have this kind of foot strength when we train every day, he is lazy all day long, how can he have this speed?"

"No, he must be brought in!"

Seeing that the sound was getting closer and closer, the fat dragon gritted his teeth and dragged the duck and the other person into the magic mountain.

And just after they walked into the Magic Mountain, after about a few minutes, Tang Xiaoshu found this place, he desperately sniffed the smell in the air, and finally locked on the Magic Mountain in front of him.

"Could it be that Ah Hua was taken captive by a monster?"

Tang Xiaoshu was a little scared, but then, he showed a firm expression: "Ah Hua raised me, I can't stop saving him because I'm afraid!"

His gaze was firm, and he stepped into the magic mountain.

"Brother Xiaolong, I'm ...... Why do I feel so cold here?" the duck kept tugging at the hem of the fat dragon's coat and said in a trembling voice.

"I said, why are you so daring, kid? Don't you brag that you are not afraid of the winged clouded leopard?

But in fact, he was also afraid in his heart, but when he thought that he could let Xiaocun get rid of Tang Xiaoshu completely, he felt that everything was worth it.

At this moment, in the darkness, there was a sudden cold roar, which startled the three of them!

"Little ...... Brother Xiaolong...... Isn't it a monster...... "The duck is about to cry in fright." The fat dragon also trembled, thinking about whether to throw the old sheep here.

But suddenly, in the darkness ahead, two scarlet points of light suddenly appeared, staring at the three of them like bloodthirsty demons. The fat little dragon was startled, he couldn't care about it anymore, he threw the old sheep forward, and then fled with a stream of urine.

In the darkness, the two scarlet points of light gradually approached the old sheep, but after a while, there was a soft sound.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the scarlet light faded. Tang Xiaoshu groped his way here, and he shouted anxiously: "Ah Hua, Ah Hua, where are you?"

It was dark everywhere, and he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, and he could only look for it by the smell of the air.

Tang Xiaoshu walked very slowly, and suddenly he felt something under his feet, and staggered out. The smell in the air was even stronger, he turned around in surprise, squatted down to see what tripped him, and when he got closer, he found that it was Ah Hua!

He was pleasantly surprised, and saved the old sheep: "Ah Hua, I have found you, have you been captured by a monster?" Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

The old sheep did not make a sound, its body was cold, and it was unknown whether it was dead or asleep.

At this moment, two points of scarlet light suddenly appeared in front of Tang Xiaoshu, startling him, and said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?!"

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he asked, "Are you the monster who wants to hurt Ah Hua? I don't allow you to hurt Ah Hua!"

The two points of red light did not react, but at this moment, Tang Xiaoshu suddenly felt that the surroundings had become so cold, he was shivering with cold, but he was still holding the old sheep and confronting the two points of scarlet.

"You...... Aren't you afraid of me?"

After a long time, a hoarse and cold voice came from all around, which made Tang Xiaoshu feel a thrill and regain consciousness, and his face was not afraid: "I'm not afraid of you! As long as I can protect Ah Hua, I'm not afraid of anything!"

The voice didn't appear again, as if it had disappeared, but Tang Xiaoshu felt colder and colder. He kept shivering, desperately trying to keep the ninja from letting him sleep, he was afraid that once he fell asleep, this monster would hurt Ah Hua.

"This kid is interesting, he is not afraid of you. ”

In the darkness there was another voice, which was different from the hoarse and cold voice that had been before, and it seemed full of energy.

"He should be afraid of me, but he has something that he sacrificed his life to protect, so he is not afraid of me. The hoarse voice reappeared.

Tang Xiaoshu didn't hear the voice clearly, his consciousness was almost blurred, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"Hehe, in that case, then I won the bet this time, how about it?"

"Okay, I'll try to do what you say. The hoarse voice replied. As his words fell, all the demonic qi in the Demon Mountain area suddenly converged and disappeared completely. In front of Tang Xiaoshu, a figure appeared.

The moonlight shone on the figure, revealing his appearance, which was a young man, but his eyes were pitch black, and he looked very strange.

The young man is Luo Han, who has disappeared for a long time!
