Crunchy
The sound of the soles of your shoes squeezing the snow is extremely loud in this silent valley. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mu Ying, the snow has stopped, clear the snow on your body." Mu Tan stretched out a small white hand from his cuffs, then tiptoed off a branch from the tree and handed it to Mu Ying.
Mu Ying answered, took the dead branch, and hastily swept the snow around her.
"Hey, look over there!" Mu Tan looked around boredly, and suddenly, as if he had discovered a new world, he pointed to a snow-white forest in the distance. In the white forest, which should be endless, there is a large area of verdant trees, and the bright green on the treetops is a little out of place in the loneliness of the thousands of mountain birds.
Mu Ying raised her head and followed Mu Tan's fingers, and also found the trees that were not covered by the snow at all.
"How can there be no snow there, is there anyone living there?" Mu Tan turned his head and asked.
"Probably if he's willing to clean it every day." Mu Ying looked at the emerald color with her eyes and said noncommittally.
"Living in the forest..."Mu Tan's eyes flashed with little stars, "Let's go over and have a look, okay?" ”
Mu Tan grabbed Mu Ying's shirt with her little hand and shook it gently.
"Not good." Mu Ying shook her head.
"Why!" Mu Tan raised his willow-like eyebrows, and his mouth pursed.
"Shuangyue Mountain is almost here, let's not waste time here, let's talk about it when we come back." Mu Ying looked at the surrounding scenery, slightly identified the direction, and then spit out the strength of the soles of her feet, blowing a wave of snow in the same place, and the person had already jumped out of the way.
"Hey!" Mu Tan looked at Mu Ying who was going away, and had to stomp his feet angrily.
Yan Ye was walking in the mountains, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound in the distance, and when he looked around, he saw a black shadow flying in the sky. The black shadow stepped lightly on the soles of its feet, and the air behind it suddenly set off a visible ripple of flesh, and then with a muffled sound, the black shadow tore apart a few clouds, took up a white line, and disappeared into the sky.
"Immortals..."Yan Ye's eyes widened, staring blankly at the sky.
I don't know how long it took, the snow bunting flying in the sky suddenly swept into Yan Ye's sight. suddenly came back to his senses, but Yan Ye found that the uncle he had been following quietly was nowhere to be found.
"Ahh While he was thinking, in the distant forest, a terrible scream suddenly sounded, startling several jackdaws dormant in the forest.
"Uncle Lubai." Yan Ye's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran towards the forest.
When he came back to his hometown, Yan Ye saw that the grass nest he pressed down when he slept in the morning had not yet recovered. A string of wet shoe prints with a few bits of snow stepped abruptly over the meadow and went straight into the forest.
Yan Ye's breathing was a little short, and his eyes looked nervously at the dark shade in front of him. The sound of the breeze combing the leaves came like the whispering of a ghost, making the hairs on Yan Ye's body gradually stand up.
"Yan Ye...", a murmur came into Yan Ye's ears at this extremely silent moment.
"Ludi? Is that you? ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Ye's tense muscles loosened, and his breathing was much smoother.
"Ludi, are you in there? Don't worry, I'll save you now! Yan Ye shouted a few more times, and when he saw that no one answered, he gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to walk into the shade.
In the shade of the trees, there was little sunlight, Yan Ye squinted his eyes slightly, and after a while, he got used to the dim light in it, and then trotted away in the direction of the sound in his memory.
The light in the forest is very poor, and the clumsy steps of Yan Ye do not know how many times he has tripped over the roots, and his little face is full of soil, but the soil seems to be very light, and it is quite soft under his feet, even if he falls on it, there will not be the slightest pain, but the smell is quite unpleasant.
I don't know how long I ran, but in front of Yan Ye's eyes, a faint light suddenly appeared, and that glimmer of light was emerald. Through the heavy leaves, it was reflected on the eyes of the leaf.
Looking at the light pouring out of the trees, Yan Ye blinked, and then heard a girl's murmur again.
"Yanye..."
The murmur was so close that it seemed to be right in my ears. Yan Ye was slightly happy in his heart, and hurriedly wiped his little face full of stains, and then took three steps and two steps, running towards the brighter and brighter green light.
Passing over a tree, the leaves suddenly opened up in front of them, and a towering giant tree grew luxuriantly in the middle of the wide meadow, and Lu Di, like a naughty little boy, hooked the branch with her legs, and hung upside down on the swing.
"Lu Di, it's dangerous up there, come down quickly!" Yan Ye's face was full of joy, Lu Di was fine, and his hanging heart was also put down.
"Yan Ye..."Lu Di hung upside down on the tree, smiled slightly at Yan Ye, and then stretched out a small hand to him, "Come and play with me." ”
"Good!" Yan Ye nodded happily, stood on tiptoe, and grabbed Lu Di's outstretched little hand.
A crisp slap with a sharp pain pulled Yan Ye's outstretched hand away, and at the same time, his green eyes returned to dark.
"Little guy, the demonic aura is so heavy here, how did you get here?" Mu Ying squatted down, looked at the little boy in front of her and asked.
"Who are you......" Yan Ye, who came to his senses, looked at the scene in front of him, his little face turned pale.
"It's just a passerby."
Mu Ying smiled, and immediately looked at the giant tree beside her, where the little guy was about to touch just now, there was a withered black ball. The black ball had a strange shape, and Mu Ying could vaguely see some humanoid outlines from it through the ghostly light.
The red light flashed in her hand, and Mu Ying just wanted to touch the black ball. A breeze suddenly blew by, and the black ball instantly turned into powder and sprinkled around the giant tree like ashes. When the black ball peeled away, an extremely clear emerald green droplet emerged from its center, and it hung over the branches of the ancient tree, like a star.
Mu Ying reached out and picked up a smear of ashes, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and a strange smell suddenly filled his nasal cavity.
"Tell me, what did you just see?" Mu Ying patted the ashes on her palm, squatted down in front of Yan Ye, and showed a very kind smile.
"I ......," said the leaf, "I saw Lu Di... Reach out to me... Let me accompany her ......."
Under the little guy's somewhat incoherent narration, Mu Ying had a rough understanding of this matter, and stretched out her hand to touch Yan Ye's little head to show comfort.
"Uh... Ahh
Behind the giant tree, a voice suddenly came.
Mu Ying followed the prestige, and through the faint fluorescence emitted from the canopy of the tree, he vaguely saw a man lying on a branch. The branch is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the branches grew, the man's body shriveled down. Every time he shriveled up, he wailed.
Mu Ying frowned, and with a flash of golden light on her fingertips, the branch was cut off by Qi Gen.
The man's body fell with the branch, Mu Ying took him down, and reached out to probe his nose, it seemed that there was still a glimmer of life, but the trunk was still attached to him. Mu Ying gently opened the man's clothes, but found that the branches were actually spreading out root-like veins towards his chest, firmly rooted in his veins.
"Lu... Uncle Lubai! Yan Ye looked at the man's skinny appearance, and his body involuntarily took two steps back.
"You know him?" Mu Ying asked.
"Hmm." Yan Ye nodded sullenly, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the surrounding trees, and his body flinched a little, "He's from our village..."
