Ye Chen waited outside the thatched house for more than half an hour, and finally saw Xiaolan's figure, only to see Xiaolan with her head down, her expression seemed to be a little confused, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Xiaolan, what's wrong, that mysterious person didn't do anything to you." Ye Chen took Xiaolan's hand and asked with a concerned face.

"Oh, no, it's not good, that sister is very good to me, Brother Ye Chen, I think we should go back." Xiaolan raised her head and glanced to the side, not daring to look at Ye Chen's eyes.

"Well, Xiaolan, let's go back, it's getting dark." Ye Chen didn't think much about it, took Xiaolan's hand and walked forward. Ye Chen likes to hold Xiaolan's hand very much, because it makes him feel at ease.

After arriving in the village, Ye Chen personally sent Xiaolan back to her home, and then returned to his home.

The next day, Ye Chen came to the top of the back mountain again, cultivating with the help of the noon solstice yang qi, this time, it seemed that the eleventh round was not above his limit, his limit had reached the fifteenth round. So, in order to take revenge, Ye Chen pushed the Yang Qi to the sixteenth round after running the fifteenth round. Although it was painful, Ye Chen felt that the more painful he was, the closer he was to his goal.

After Ye Chen's cultivation today, Xiaolan came again.

"Brother Ye Chen, you are here again today, you go take a bath, I will wait for you here." Xiaolan seemed to talk a lot less this time, but Ye Chen was still very happy to see Xiaolan.

After taking a bath, Ye Chen quickly ran to the back mountain, and saw Xiaolan sitting alone on the stone in a daze from a distance.

"Hey Xiaolan, what are you doing, nervous." Ye Chen secretly walked over and patted Xiaolan on the shoulder.

"Ah, I didn't do anything, Brother Ye Chen, let's not go to the valley today, okay?" Xiaolan looked uneasy in her eyes, and looked at Ye Chen with a flushed face.

"Well, listen to Xiaolan, Xiaolan said that if she doesn't go, we won't go." Ye Chen always likes to tease Xiaolan, and said with a grin.

The two of them slowly wandered around the back mountain, walking east and west. Because there are no crops in the back mountain, Ye Chen feels that this back mountain is a small world that only belongs to him and Xiaolan.

Sometimes Ye Chen occasionally thinks, does Xiaolan really like me? Do you like the original tiger. But every time he thought of this, he would forcibly divert his attention, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because if he continued to think about it, maybe the cute Xiaolan in front of him didn't belong to him, what should he do at that time.

So a bold thought appeared in Ye Chen's mind, "Huzi is dead, and Xiaolan is going to marry me in the future, I must wipe out the shadow of the former Huzi in Xiaolan's heart, so that Xiaolan really belongs to me." ”

Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled at Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, how about Brother Ye Chen's go and hunt a rabbit for you?" The rabbit is delicious. ”

Xiaolan's father is a hunter, but Xiaolan doesn't like to eat meat, she likes to eat sweet fruits on the mountain, but she knows that Ye Chen likes it, so she didn't refuse.

It seems that the two have been together for a long time, and there is a trace of the same power in their hearts. After Ye Chen caught a rabbit, he saw a few red wild fruits in the bushes, so he helped Xiaolan pick a few fruits.

This wild fruit is called honey candy, and it is very sweet, and the mouth is full of water when you bite into it. It is the name given by the hunters in the village, who go up to the mountains to hunt and live on dry food and this kind of fruit, and usually do not have to go home for a month.

Xiaolan seemed a little surprised, how could Ye Chen know that she liked to eat fruits, and in return, Xiaolan personally helped him deal with rabbits. However, Ye Chen didn't watch from the sidelines, the two of them worked together, and in the end, when they barbecued, the two of them were covered in charcoal ash, but the two of them still had a good time.

The days passed like this, Ye Chen took time out of his dull and happy days to cultivate hard, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed quickly.

On this day, Ye Chen was still cultivating in the back mountain, and his limit had risen to seventeen rounds, and he had been breaking the limit, running eighteen rounds every day.

Today, when he endured the pain and ran the eighteen rounds, he suddenly found that the strength of his muscles, bones, and body seemed to have improved significantly.

"Sure enough, it's the second layer of body refining." Ye Chen tried his skills, and slammed his fist into the trunk of the tree, the big tree shook violently, and Ye Chen found that the arm strength of his hands was about two hundred catties.

Ye Chen was a little happy in his heart, but sighed again, "I don't know when I will be able to reach the third layer at this cultivation speed, and when I will be able to build a foundation." ”

Ye Chen suddenly realized that his cultivation speed was too slow, so he ate the next day.

"Dad, I want to go hunting in the mountains with you." Ye Chen put down the bowl and said with bright eyes.

"Haha, Huzi, you are still young, when you become an adult, your father will take you there, and you see, now your father is still very strong." Ye Chen's father laughed and replied heartily.

"That's right, Huzi, let's not rush first, and then let your father take you up the mountain in two years." Ye Chen's mother also persuaded on the side, not worrying about Ye Chen going up the mountain.

"And Huzi, my mother heard that there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, which are very dangerous."

Ye Chen looked at the two fathers and mothers who cared about him, and his heart was also warm, but he still decided to go. By fighting wild beasts, tasting real blood, and exercising one's abilities in a desperate situation, it is also the easiest to improve one's cultivation in a desperate situation.

"Dad, mother, I'll show you something." Ye Chen put down the bowl in his hand and stood up.

"What's it, you kid has also learned the mystery?" Ye Chen's father looked at Ye Chen with a smile on his face.

"Go Huzi, what is there something good to open your father's eyes, he still thinks how great it is to hunt in the mountains by himself, no one has let go of it in the past few years." As soon as Ye Chen's mother finished speaking, she snorted softly at Ye Chen's father

"Hu Ziniang, how can I have it, I can rest assured of you." Ye Chen's father hurriedly looked at Ye Chenniang with a flattering face.

"Daddy, then you take care of it, don't blink." Ye Chen also shook his head with a smile, and then said loudly.

After speaking, Ye Chen walked to the courtyard, hugged the big stone mill with both hands, and roared, only to see that the stone mill of more than two hundred catties was raised by him with both hands.

"Daddy, you see, with my strength, can I go up the mountain to hunt?" Ye Chen hugged the stone mill with both hands, and said angrily without blushing.

"This..."Ye Chen's father and mother looked at this scene in surprise, and after a while, they came back to their senses.

"Hey~ Huzi, put it down, put it down, don't hit yourself." Ye Chenniang was just taken aback at first, and suddenly said with an anxious face.

"Mother, it's okay, I have a lot of strength." Huzi turned around, but his hands holding the stone mill did not move.

"Good boy, he really deserves to be my son, in the future, who dares to say that our tiger is not, Lao Tzu beat him to death." Ye Chen's father laughed, and the joy on his face couldn't be concealed at all.

"Dad, mother, then do you think I can go up the mountain to hunt with my strength?" Ye Chen put down the stone mill in his hand and asked tentatively.

"No, let's wait, it's too dangerous in the mountains." Ye Chen's mother still didn't allow Ye Chen to go up the mountain to hunt. The last time the village formed a team to go hunting in the mountains, they encountered a pack of wolves on the way, and several very powerful hunters died. From then on, Ye Chen's mother was not very relieved, and let Ye Chen's father go up the mountain easily

"Huzi Niang, in my opinion, there is no big problem with Huzi. We walked around the Black Wolf Mountain, and we will be back in ten days, and the tiger has grown up, so it's time to let him out to exercise. Ye Chen's father thought about it carefully and said to Ye Chen's mother.

"But Huzi, you must listen to me when you get to the mountain, don't run around."

"Uh-huh, I will, don't worry, Dad."

Ye Chenniang looked at Ye Chen, who was a head taller than her in front of her, sighed in her heart, and did not speak.

The next day, Ye Chen got up early. ran to Xiaolan's house to say goodbye to her.

"Xiaolan, I'm going to hunt in the mountains, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it to you." Ye Chen looked at the delicate and lovely girl in front of him with a smile on his face, and he was already sure that he had fallen in love with her.

"Ah, Brother Ye Chen, are you going to hunt in the mountains?" When Xiaolan heard this, she was a little anxious. These days, the two of them are sweet and sweet together, and the free and easy life has made her more and more reluctant to leave Ye Chen.

"Well, I'll be there for ten days, and I'll be back in ten days at most. This time I went with my dad, so it's okay. Ye Chen was afraid that Xiaolan would be worried, so he hurriedly explained.

"Ten days, Brother Ye Chen, are you going to go for ten days?" Xiaolan looked at Ye Chen a little blankly, muttering in her mouth, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

"Mmmm, I'll be back soon, Xiaolan, don't worry." Ye Chen patted his chest and reassured.

"Well, Brother Ye Chen, you must be careful, I'll wait for you to come back at home." Xiao Lanhong's face fluttered, but her eyes were full of care.

"Uh-huh, I will." Ye Chen nodded at Xiaolan.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Xiaolan suddenly ran into the room, and hurriedly said while turning around, "Brother Ye Chen, wait a minute, I have something for you." ”

After a while, Xiaolan came out of the house, still holding a delicate little wooden box in her hand.

"Here, Brother Ye Chen, wear this around your neck when you go hunting." Xiaolan opened the wooden box, and there was a delicate translucent jade pendant lying inside.

Ye Chen looked at the jade pendant, then looked at Xiaolan, and finally closed the box again, sighed, and said to Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, this is too valuable, you can keep it." I'm fine. ”

"No, Brother Ye Chen, if you don't want it, I won't allow you to go." Xiaolan pouted, snatched the box from Ye Chen's hand, and insisted on wearing the jade on Ye Chen's neck.

Ye Chen felt a little lost in his heart, not unhappy, but seemed to know something, and then said to Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, when I am not by your side, you must take good care of yourself." Brother Ye Chen promised you that no matter where you are, I will come to you. ”

Hearing this, Xiaolan cried sadly, and then ran into the room with her face covered.

Ye Chen sighed in his heart, but walked firmly towards the mountain, where his father was waiting for him to meet.
