The eldest lady put her hands together and recited "Amitabha", then put down her hand, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Guest officer, our land is in good weather, and foreign thieves can't invade at all, and they don't dare to invade, it is said that there is a "ringing horse manger" next to our mountain, and the sound of ten thousand horses neighing every day, and the mountain god Niangniang guards it, and no thief dares to enter. ”

Yin Ruochen listened to her mysterious, thinking that this woman didn't know anything, but he only admired this god and ghost, but he didn't believe it, so he immediately just smiled slightly, disagreed, and didn't say much.

"Guest officer, look." But the woman pointed to the halfway up the mountain not far away and said, "The mountain god Niangniang lives there, sometimes in the middle of the night will make a strange scream, once a woodcutter has been there, only to see the ghost fluttering, immediately frightened and ran away, and there are many wicked people, the Hu people of the Southern Underworld Kingdom arrived there, all were punished, the villages over there said that the mountains were haunted, but later, they gradually found that it was not a ghost, it was the mountain god Niangniang, whenever there was an invasion of the Hu people, or when there were natural and man-made disasters, she would appear on the top of the mountain, Predict the people of the nearby villages, those people in the nearby villages have the warning of the mountain god Niangniang, and they are ready to hide early to avoid being harassed, our mountain villa is in the belly of the mountain, and it is protected by her, and has never suffered any disasters, so our folks here are reluctant to move away, with the protection of the mountain god Niangniang, we don't have to suffer from the upheaval and displacement, and live with peace of mind, I really want to be grateful to the mountain god Niangniang!"

The old woman just babbled and bowed reverently.

Yang Lu listened very fascinated.

Yin Ruochen's eyes were deep, looking at the mountains and muttering.

The old woman was very happy to get Yin Ruochen's silver tael, and at the moment she gushed out all the things she knew, Yin Ruochen listened carefully, and nodded slightly from time to time in agreement.

The sky soon darkened, the mountain wind howled, and the whole sky was like a black cauldron, and it was terrifyingly gloomy.

"Amitabha, this day is about to snowfall again, this mountain is full of rain and snow all year round, it is very cold, the wax moon is coming, if the guest officer has anything important to do and leave here, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, but it is not good to stay! I don't know if my two children have come back from collecting firewood. The old woman looked at the gloomy sky outside and muttered kindly.

Yin Ruochen saw that the wind and snow were coming again in the sky, and knew that she would not be able to see anything today, so she said goodbye to the old woman and turned over to the horse and walked towards the road.

"Lord Wang, is there really a mountain god in this deep mountain?" When the horses passed under the big mountain, the two stopped, Yang Lu looked at the smoke-filled halfway up the mountain with a hint of longing, and said to himself after asking: "If there really is, this mountain god Niangniang must be very beautiful, if only you could see it." ”

Yin Ruochen puffed when he heard this, couldn't help laughing, looked at Yang Lu's fascination and said mockingly: "You kid, your lust is not small, even the gods don't let go, don't worry, when this king stationes the camp in the future, he will definitely send you up the mountain to take a look, if you can't bring back a mountain god Niangniang, see that this king doesn't skin you." ”

When Yang Lu heard this, he cried with a sad face, wailed, and begged for mercy again and again!

has been with Yin Ruochen for many years, and he has long been familiar with his card nature, but when he heard that Yin Ruochen was going to station the camp here, he was still surprised, and said unconvinced: "Lord Wang, don't you also believe that there is a mountain god Niangniang, otherwise how would you put the camp here?" ”

Yin Ruochen glanced at him, looked disdainful, and said, "What do you know about this kid." After speaking, he pointed to this large area with his finger, and asked inscruciously: "You say that I really believe that there is a mountain god Niangniang to protect here?" ”

"Then why did the prince want to station the camp here?" Yang Lu saw that Yin Ruochen didn't believe the old woman's words, and asked puzzled.

There are soldiers and horses along the way, but the prince is very puzzled by the location of his camp here, and this place is not an excellent location for battle.

In his ears, he heard Yin Ruochen laugh confidently, and said loudly: "You kid has not grown up at all after many years by the side of this king, so you have to study hard now." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward, stared at the mountain, and said slowly: "This mountain is surrounded on all sides, forming a hugging trend, the terrain is dangerous, ordinary people can't cross it at all, you think about the hundreds of babies in this area who are unbearable and have moved away, only the villagers in this vicinity can live safely and steadily, why is this?" ”

Yin Ruochen said this, gathered the fox fur, smiled slightly, and said: "This reason is very simple, it must be because the thieves have not found a good way to bypass the mountain to this side, or there is no such a way at all, they can't invade, this is their Achilles' heel, how can this king miss such a good thing, choose this place as a camp, the best strategy, when the time comes, they will be caught off guard, and the remaining strength will pursue, recover the lost land, and return the great rivers and mountains of our northern underworld." ”

Yin Ruochen said with great emotion, Yang Lu was dumbfounded when he heard it, it turned out that there was still this mystery here, no wonder the prince would walk into this mountain village, it seems that the prince has already seen it at a glance when observing the terrain, and it really deserves to be the silver prince.

Yang Lu admired Yin Ruochen so much that he threw himself to the ground, and he admired it even more.

It rained and snowed for three days and three nights.

In the thatched house, Han Ling and the little rabbit, Miao Qingyang, with water and little food, lit a fire in the grass house to keep warm, in order not to consume too much energy, drowsy all day long, until three days later, the weather cleared up and started to move.

A ray of winter sun shone through the forest on the snow in front of the thatched house, the water shrunk his hand, breathed, and a pair of eyes turned slyly, standing in front of the thatched house, looking at the long-lost sunlight shining on the snowman in front of the house.

This snowman was built with the little rabbit yesterday, and Shui Er looked at the snowman, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be a little familiar, and he was strange in his heart, tilting his head as if he was thinking about something.

"Shui'er, today my aunt is going to the mountains to hunt pheasants, you stay at home obediently." The little rabbit came out with a bow and arrow, and when he saw Shui'er standing in front of the house in a daze, he admonished.

When Shui'er heard this, she hurriedly shouted, "Auntie, I want to go with you." ”

"That's not good, you're going to make trouble, this pheasant has already been scared away by you." The little rabbit shook his head in disagreement.

"Auntie, I'm learning very flexibly with the little monkey now, and I have the best sense of smell for prey, if you don't take me, you'll regret it." Shui'er crossed her hands on her hips and said mischievously, as if it would be a great loss for the little rabbit not to take him there. He looked like a little adult.

The little rabbit was laughed at by his appearance, thought for a while and said: "Shui'er is right, you are the man of our family, and your mother and father will have to rely on Shui'er to support you when they are old in the future." In this way, my aunt will teach you how to hunt from today, how about it? ”

"Okay." Shui'er clapped his hands and applauded. His eyes looked at the snowman, and he suddenly whispered mysteriously: "Auntie, is that snowman the hero you said last time, I remember that it seems to be a prince!" ”

Shui'er said curiously, tilting her head as if thinking about something, but the little rabbit was shocked.

Every time she takes the water up the mountain to play, when she is free, she will tell him about some previous things, of course, the most talked about the silver prince, he bravely killed the gold thief, the deeds of protecting the northern underworld, every time will make the water listen to the mystery, in the heart of the water The silver prince is the most heroic man in the world, is a man who stands up to the sky, respected by many people, the water worships him, every time he swears to learn to be the silver prince in the future, respect him as a hero, make a great career, people are impressive.

But now the little rabbit was flustered when he heard it, covered his mouth and whispered: "Shui'er, you can't hear this, otherwise your aunt will be miserable." ”

"Why?" Shui Er asked with a puzzled face, "Don't you like heroes?"

"Well, this one!" The little rabbit scratched his head, coughed dryly, and said briefly: "Little boy, why do you ask so much, anyway, remember that your mother doesn't like to let you know about that prince, remember not to ask this again in the future, otherwise my aunt won't tell you stories in the future." ”

Shui'er was puzzled when he heard it, but the little rabbit said it seriously, and he had no choice but to nod and say softly: "Auntie, somehow, I think this snowman is very kind." ”

The bunny is petrified!

It happened that Han Ling came out of the house, and the little rabbit hurriedly led the water up the mountain.

I was puzzled that Han Ling asked Shui'er to call Miao Qingyang his father, and never let Shui'er know about the silver prince, Shui'er was the heir of the silver prince, but why didn't Shui'er know his father, how unfair it was to Shui'er.

She felt that Han Ling couldn't deprive Shui'er of this right, and she was particularly puzzled when she saw her telling Shui'er to be filial to Miao Qingyang when she grew up, and she would always be scolded by Han Ling when she occasionally mentioned it, and she didn't dare to say it later, but secretly, she would always tell Shui'er about the heroic deeds of Yinwangye, so that Shui'er could have a good impression of Yinwangye.

Obviously, Shui'er's father is the silver prince, and then look at Shui'er's appearance, except for the pair of apricot eyes like Han Ling, the others are very similar to Yin Ruochen, especially the thick sword eyebrows and broad forehead are simply printed out of a mold, so distorting the facts, the little rabbit feels that it is not advisable.

In the dense woods, the water is like a monkey, the body is flexible up and down on the trees, like a gopher in the forest, the little rabbit looks at him complacently, this body is a good seedling for practicing light skills!

This kid has a flexible mind, and he is born to look like him, don't look at him thin, but he is a fine person, eccentric, how big is this, but it is a difficult appearance to deal with, and he is very bold.

The weather was very cold, and I didn't know if there would be pheasants coming out, so the little rabbit came to a deep mountain and old forest with water, sprinkled some prepared bait, and hid in the woods with water.

Perhaps because the weather was clear, a pheasant came out to forage for food, and the little rabbit killed two birds with one stone, and soon shot a few pheasants, and the water was so happy that he screamed, and said that he could have a full meal today, and he was full of joy.

The little rabbit walked with the water towards another hill.
