Chapter 1 Distress in the Pool
In summer, the green hills in the distance are undulating, tall trees can be seen everywhere, the green grass in the forest is lush, occasionally red flowers, yellow flowers, white flowers or one by one, or mixed blooms, the moist air mixed with the fragrance of flowers, grass is inhaled into the lungs, so that the whole spirit of people can not help but lift.
At this moment, the silence of the mountain forest was shattered by distant shouts and animal calls.
"Little fox, look where you're going." A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old happily chased a little fox that was running and stopping in front of him.
This little fox is covered in fiery red fur, only the lower jaw is connected to the abdomen is a strip of silver, the reddish-brown eyes are watery and looks very smart, and the running does not forget to "yay" joy, and finally the little fox ran to a pool of water and stopped, and the young man quickly stepped forward to hold it in his arms.
The little fox lay quietly in the boy's arms, occasionally making a few soft chirps, no longer screaming happily like when he was running, and occasionally naughtily licking the boy's hands with his tongue.
"Hehe, it's tickling." Feeling the warmth and crispness (itchiness) in the palm of his hand, the young man laughed, rubbed the little fox's fluffy head, and gently stroked the soft fur on its chin.
After teasing the little fox, the young man put the little fox's left front paw in the palm of his hand and checked it, and found that the wound had healed as before, so he held the little fox's front paw and gently placed it on the side of his right face, feeling the soft touch.
This young fox happened to meet the young man when he was in a daze beside the water in this pond more than ten days ago, perhaps the left front paw was pinched by the mechanism set by the hunters in the village, and the little fox ran to the young man's side with trembling all over his body, and his left front paw was stained with blood, and there were many blood marks on his fur.
The boy saw that the little fox was very pitiful, so he took it home, and together with his grandfather, he helped it clean its wounds, apply medicine, and bandage it, so that it could be fed, and he lazily named it "Little Fox".
Xiaohu was able to limp at home three days ago, no, as soon as the injury on his left front paw healed, he followed Yu Le to the mountains and forests to have fun.
The young man picked up the gentle and petite little fox, leaned against the small tree next to the pool, and quietly stared at the turquoise pool.
The water pool is about 800 meters long and is called "Qinglong Pond", the water of the pool is clear and difficult to see the bottom, even if you do not touch it, you can feel the coldness of the pool.
"Hehe", the young man smiled helplessly, lamenting the impermanence of fate. He still vividly remembers coming into this world twenty days ago. Yes, the boy crossed in a fashionable way, and the unlucky guy (referred to as the predecessor) who was crossed had the same name as his previous life, and they were all called Yule.
Yu Le, who is just 15 years old this year, is a sophomore at Shujin City No. 1 Senior High School, and returned to Qingshan Village after his final exam on June 27.
Yu Le has lived with his grandfather and grandmother since he was a child, but because his grandfather and grandmother are both theater artists, they often have various performances, and there is no fixed rest time, and they also gather less and leave more.
I heard that my grandparents had returned to Qingshan Village to settle down, and Yu Le didn't wait for the results to come out, so he took a car back to Qingshan Village the next day after the exam.
Grandparents and grandchildren naturally rejoice when they see each other. After some shouting, grandfather Yu Wenquan not only asked about Yu Le's study, but also tested his drama singing skills, martial arts and books.
Yu Le has always been smart and studious, and he has nothing to worry about learning, but because of the boarding school, he lacks a lot in voice training and martial arts, especially brush calligraphy.
Yu Wenquan was naturally dissatisfied with Yu Le's appearance, and formulated a strict summer study plan to supervise Yu Le's study.
Yu Le was sad. Get up at five o'clock in the morning every morning to practice and practice your voice, and then run back and forth from the village to Qinglongtan, the whole journey is about 36 miles, mainly to practice breath.
After breakfast, Yu Le also had to learn calligraphy with his grandfather for an hour, which was called "calming the mind". After learning calligraphy, I also practiced traditional musical instruments such as erhu or xiao pipe with my grandfather until lunchtime.
From the lunch break to two o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Le will continue to practice calligraphy for an hour, which is called "condensing and returning to the gods". After that, he learned traditional musical instruments such as bamboo flute and guqin until dinner time.
Yu Le also has the habit of reading books and meditating since childhood, and although the day is extremely fulfilling, it is much more tiring than going to school.
After surviving the dark three days like this, Yu Le finally sneaked away to the Qinglong Pond during the lunch break on the fourth day.
The location of Qinglong Pond is not remote, but due to the distance, there are not many people who come and go often, and no one will come here at noon.
Yu Le wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and smiled for no reason: "It's really stupid, it's okay to run so far to get hot." ”
Looking at the hills along the pond, trees, wildflowers and grasses compete to bloom with their vitality. Yu Le thought about it and decided to go up the mountain to blow a cool breeze.
This small dirt mountain has no name, and the ancestors of the village have not bothered to name a mountain, and later everyone agreed to call it "earth mountain".
The mountain is less than 20 meters high, the north and south sides are like cliffs, and the east and west wings have a gentle slope, and you can climb it in a few minutes. The waterhole is located at the bottom of the cliff on the north side of the mountain, but it is not completely connected.
The morning mist has not completely dissipated, and it is faintly drifting in the depths of the mountain forest. The sun shines through the branches and leaves, and the breeze caresses the bare skin with the scent of grass and flowers.
Yu Le, who climbed the small dirt mountain, raised his eyes to look at the surrounding scenery and enjoyed the thrill of escaping, which was really refreshing!
Inadvertently looking down at the turquoise pool at his feet, Yu Le didn't think there was anything unusual. It's just that the old people in the village often say that this Qinglong Pond has a great history, and the bottom is connected to the South China Sea Dragon Palace.
Over the years, Yu Le and his peers in the village have also come here to play many times, but because they were afraid of the rumors that the Dragon Palace would send shrimp soldiers and crabs to catch children, no one dared to go deep into the bottom of the pool, but at this time he was a little eager to try.
Standing on the north cliff, Yu Le recalled the terrain he had learned when he swam in the past, and jumped hard, drawing a graceful arc.
With a loud "plop", Yu Le smashed out a passage with his body, but when he dived to a depth of about 30 meters, he felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly swam to the shore, gasping for breath.
After resting for a while, Yu Le felt that his body was fine, and climbed the hill again and jumped into the pool, this time he felt that he was closer to the bottom of the pool, and saw a faint green light flashing at the bottom of the pool.
Swimming up to the pool, Yu happily sat on the shore and guessed: how can there be green light at the bottom of the pool? Whether it was a gem or an emerald, or maybe the thought of the zombie's gloomy green gaze made him shudder, and his hairs stood on end.
No, it shouldn't be a zombie. After all, there is only a touch of green light, and there will never be a zombie to produce a one-eyed dragon, right? Yu Le patted his heart lightly and said, "Scare yourself, you will die!" ”
With curiosity and questions, Yu Le San went up to the earth mountain, took a deep breath, jumped high into the air, and "plopped".
After falling into the pool, Yu Le dived desperately, and actually sank to the bottom of the pool. After touching around, he felt that he had grabbed an object, and he quickly jumped up, and suddenly his right calf cramped, and he drank a few sips of water in a panic, and his breath was gone, and his chest was suffocated, and his mind became groggy.
Coincidentally, there was a sudden thunder above the pool, and the white light flashed, and the earth Yule crossed over to this unlucky bastard, taking advantage of the remnants of consciousness that had just been fused, he struggled to swim, and after surfacing, he wanted to shout for help loudly, but before he could shout, he passed out.
