The peasant couple did not tell Lu Xiaoqi what it was like and what country it was outside the mountain village, because like most people in the village, they had been living in the village since they were born and had never gone out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Lu Xiaoqi decided to look around, he hadn't forgotten how he came to this mountain village - it was an old guy with a bloody face that threw him off the top of the mountain!

Surrounded by mountains, it is a small basin with only one outlet in the southwest corner, but this gap is blocked by a wide river, so if you want to get out, you either have to climb over the almost vertical mountains around it, or you can cross the big river by boat.

Obviously, with the exception of a relatively gentle hill in the north, which can normally be used for grazing sheep, the rest of the mountains are at the risk of their lives - not only are they almost vertical, but the rock walls are extremely smooth, with no kicks or bumps to climb. This peculiar landform can only be said to be a miracle of nature.

It can be said that this is a natural paradise.

Therefore, every time the priest went out, it was naturally by boat.

The "boat" is actually just a raft, and the river is wide, the current is fast, and there are often huge whirlpools in the center of the river.

Of course, Lu Xiaoqi knew that most of those whirlpools were caused by the undercurrents in the river, but the people in the village didn't understand, they thought that there was an evil god living in the river, and this evil god would make trouble from time to time, not only would swallow the fishing villagers, but every few years, the water would rise and pour into the basin.

Therefore, the priests in the village are actually dedicated to the evil god, not because they revere and love it, but because they are afraid of it, and the priest's duty is to communicate with the "evil god" and beg it not to make trouble casually.

And before going out every month, the priest had to divination, and only with the permission of the "evil god" did he dare to go out on a raft.

Of course, there is no "evil god" in this river at all, the river is turbulent, it is just a force of nature, so regardless of whether the priest communicates with the "evil god" or not, the river should be what should be, and what will be.

Therefore, for thousands of years, there have been many priests who have been drowned directly by the river, and after the priest dies, his eldest disciple will inherit the position of priest, so every time he goes out, the eldest disciple is not allowed to follow.

When the priest goes out, he actually acts as a "business ambassador", using some local products of the village to exchange for the necessities of the villagers, such as: bronze farming tools, spices, livestock cubs, etc.

Lu Xiaoqi had seen the priest in the village, and it was an old man with gray hair.

It is said that he is the longest-lived priest in the history of the small mountain village, because the priest's fate is devoured by the "evil god", but this old priest does not know how many times he has gone out in his life, and he can miraculously return safely every time, so the people in the village respect him very much.

It's just that he is too old, and in the last few months, that is, a few months before Lu Xiaoqi came, the priest can't go out - he is too old.

That is, a few days ago, the old priest summoned the whole village to the river to worship the "evil god", and Lu Xiaoqi was able to see him. After the sacrifice, the old priest passed on the priesthood to his eldest disciple and announced that he would never go out again.

And on the same day, the eldest disciple inherited the priest's mission and left the village on a raft, and has not returned yet.

………………

It took Lu Xiaoqi more than half a day to go around the edge of the basin and finally came to the river.

It also makes sense that it has been able to be "isolated" for so long. Let's just say that the steep mountain wall is more than a thousand feet high, and the top of the mountain is full of smoke and clouds, not only the villagers can't climb it, but it is impossible for outsiders to come down from the mountain, no wonder that old guy will throw Lu Xiaoqi off the top of the mountain - maybe in his eyes, there is death below!

So if outsiders want to get in, the only way is to take a boat from the big river in front of them, and because this section of the river often gives birth to deadly whirlpools, it is estimated that this place is already notorious, and few people will come here, besides, from the outside, this is just a gap between two mountains, and there is nothing to covet, why risk your life to come in?

Over time, it became a true "forgotten place".

Lu Xiaoqi squatted by the river, picked up a small stone piece, and started to float, the fishermen by the river were ready to go home, they only dared to fish in the shallow water, never dared to go to the middle of the river, it is said that the fishermen swallowed by the river are much more than the number of priests.

Of course, the fishermen knew Lu Xiaoqi and greeted him warmly, because Lu Xiaoqi still looked like a big child, and the fishermen told him not to be greedy for fun and not to swim in the river.

Tired of playing in the water, Lu Xiaoqi sat on the edge of the river, and the clear river water reflected his shadow.

On the other side of the river is a forest, because it is too far away, I can't see what kind of trees it is, in short, those trees grow very tall, Lu Xiaoqi looked at it, and always felt that a monster would come out of the woods.

He shook his head and said to himself with a wry smile: "It's been more than a month, and I'm still so nervous!" There shouldn't be any monsters in this world! ”

A water turtle floated to the surface, climbed ashore under Lu Xiaoqi's nose, and turned around slowly, not afraid of people at all, probably because here, there are no turtles in the villagers' recipes, they may have become accustomed to humans as "animals".

Some fishermen will dispose of the fish directly in the river, so they will leave the fish guts and some minced meat in the river, which can be cheaper for some turtles and water birds, and when the fishermen leave, these small animals will appear to fight for these "leftovers".

For example, now, the water turtle that has just climbed ashore is fighting with a gray water bird for a fish intestine, the water turtle bites the fish intestine and retracts its head into the turtle shell, and the water bird flapps its wings and tries to flip the water turtle to the ground.

It may be that the terrapinus was too small, but the waterfowl succeeded, and the terrabahn was lifted to all fours, and the waterfowl dragged it on the ground for several meters through the fish's intestines before the terraugine relented.

The victorious waterfowl triumphantly flew away with a piece of fish intestines in its mouth, leaving the turtle lying on the ground struggling, but unable to turn over.

Lu Xiaoqi looked interesting, walked over and grabbed the little turtle in his hand.

"The law of the jungle! Bub! Lu Xiaoqi knocked on the turtle shell, and the water turtle quickly retracted its limbs and head into the shell.

Just now, a layer of realization was born in his heart: there should be more than one kind of invader from the outer plane on the earth in the real world! Like the little turtle and the waterfowl, they compete with each other for their intestines, for food; And on the earth, invaders from different planes will definitely fight for the "fish intestines" of the earth!

And the Antarctic base that forced himself out of the body should be very powerful among them, maybe it is already the most powerful invader on the earth!

"Fan is right!" People are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat'" Lu Xiaoqi tossed the little turtle between his hands, "You have to take the initiative to attack!" When the trial is over, I'll let you know that even if it's 'fish', there are hard bones in it!" ”

After speaking, Lu Xiaoqi treated the little turtle as a stone chip, threw it into the river, and started to float!

………………

When Lu Xiaoqi went back, it was almost dark, and the grass by the river was growing very well, so Lu Xiaoqi pulled a lot and took it back to feed the sheep by the way.

"Look at your expression, did you get anything out of today?" In the sheepfold, the big black sheep asked.

"The terrain here is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the land is fertile, and it is a place to live for a long time." Lu Xiaoqi replied while feeding the grass.

"Well, that's good!" The big black sheep's eyes flashed, and he seemed to stop talking.

Lu Xiaoqi noticed the strangeness of the big black sheep, because a goat can appear "eyes", which is already very eye-catching.

"What, invigilator, is there anything you want to teach?" Lu Xiaoqi asked.

The big black sheep rolled his eyes, lowered his head and nibbled on the grass: "I won't help you cheat!" ”

Lu Xiaoqi couldn't say anything, and he was unhappy, so he said, "Don't you have a bad nose?" You smell it, this sheepfold is full of sheep feces! How can you stand being here all day? What are you drawing? ”

"If you're willing to drink my milk, I won't be a goat!" The big black sheep stared at Lu Xiaoqi, "My are very swollen!" In the past two days, the water and grass are plump, and there is a lot more milk, you can help me squeeze it! ”

Lu Xiaoqi listened to the rough voice of the big black sheep tower, and then looked at its "resentful" little eyes, only to feel a chill on his back, stomach juice rolling, and ran out of the sheepfold with rolling eyes: "you!" ”

"I tell you! Don't regret if you don't drink it! If you want to drink it in the future, you can ask me! The voice of the big black sheep came from behind him, Lu Xiaoqi blocked his ears, and he couldn't wait to grow one more leg and run faster!

Today's dinner is a plant rhizome that is very similar to purple potato, very sweet, and there is a nut that Lu Xiaoqi can't name, the peasant woman specially told that children should eat less of this nut, and then she smashed several with a small stone hammer, put it in front of the farmer, and asked him to eat more, and blushed shamefully after speaking.

Lu Xiaoqi almost didn't choke on the "purple potato" when he saw this - he is not a real child, this is obviously "showing affection"!

Sure enough, after dinner, even though the small mud house where Lu Xiaoqi lived was separated from the couple's, the sound insulation of the house in this era was miserable!

Therefore, it was not until late at night that the movement in the couple's room subsided, and Lu Xiaoqi fell asleep.

Before he fell asleep, he vaguely thought, "What are those nuts?" This effect, tsk! ”

Of course, after becoming a mortal, he needs to sleep, Lu Xiaoqi fell asleep, and in his dream, he saw that the big black sheep suddenly turned into a big cow, chasing him to feed! (To be continued.) )
