Prologue: Babies
In the middle of the night, the surroundings were pitch black, the five fingers could not be seen, the torrential rain was pouring, the thunder was rolling, the trees were trembling, the mud and rocks were flying, the wild beasts in the mountains were roaring, and a few small figures were staggering forward in the dark night.
In the 100,000 mountains, there are desolate ancient beasts rampant, there are inexplicable weird tree kings entrenched, all kinds of terrible poisonous insects infested, where is the forbidden land of the human race.
The sky was lightning and thundering, nine lightning bolts were like nine 10,000-meter dragons circling and flying in the night sky, the thunder shook the heavens and the earth, everything in the mountains was silent, and the nine lightning bolts did not disappear immediately, but were entangled and hovering in the air, as if looking for something.
"Patriarch, look. An old man spoke, pointing to the sky.
Even those of them who lived around the 100,000 Great Mountains were accustomed to seeing the mysterious beasts in the mountains, and the scene at this time was enough to shock many people.
The dozen or so men were all dressed in animal skins, some were armed with broadswords, some were carrying huge bows, and were led by several old men, among whom was a slightly weaker woman.
"The sky is different, and these 100,000 mountains are probably going to change again. The old man at the head said.
"Father, let's hurry up! It's raining too much, I'm afraid Hanyan's body won't be able to bear it. A young, stocky young man in the middle of the group said, holding the only woman in the group with his hand.
This woman has slender eyelashes, a pretty face that is white and crystalline, she is a beauty like no other, but she has a haggard face and a languid expression, and she looks very weak, and she almost leans on the man next to her for the whole body.
The old man at the head was also the patriarch of their group, and after watching the nine thunder dragons in the sky gradually disappear, he said, "Well, let's go, we will be at the cottage in one hour." ”
The Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon disappeared, the sky fell into darkness again, and the sound of crackling rain became the accompaniment to the advance of this night march.
The speed of the team's march gradually increased, and this place was far away from the 100,000 mountains, and there was no longer the threat of those terrifying beasts.
"Yu, did you hear anything?" asked the woman in Xuanyuan Yu's arms, looking up.
"What sound?" Xuanyuan Yu's expression froze, and he listened attentively, there was no other sound around him except for the sound of the rainstorm hitting the leaves, he had been hunting in the mountains all year round, and his ear power had been trained to the extreme, and the wind and grass within a hundred meters could not hide from his ears.
"Could it be some kind of hidden beast?" Xuanyuan Yu's expression was solemn, and he was thinking about whether to tell the patriarch the news, a hidden beast was likely to kill all of them, but this is already out of the 100,000 mountains, there shouldn't be any mysterious beasts coming out?
Xuanyuan Hanyan, you can see her husband's expression and know that he has misunderstood, Xuanyuan Yu has lived in the mountains for many years, and his defense against wild beasts has reached the point of instinct.
Xuanyuan Hanyan hurriedly explained: "I seem to hear the child's cry. ”
Xuanyuan Yu's expression was stunned, he looked at the woman in his arms softly, he knew how sad it was for a mother who had just lost a child, and it was possible to have auditory hallucinations.
"Really!" Xuanyuan Hanyan said angrily when he saw that Xuanyuan Yu didn't believe her.
"It's getting clearer! Xuanyuan Hanyan suddenly broke free of Xuanyuan Yu's hands and walked down the mountain.
"What are you doing?"
"What's wrong?"
When the people around saw Xuanyuan Hanyan leaving the team alone, they all turned their heads and asked eagerly.
Xuanyuan Yu saw that Xuanyuan Hanyan was walking farther and farther, and hurriedly followed.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. The patriarch spoke, and everyone followed the trail of Xuanyuan Hanyan.
Xuanyuan Hanyan stopped not far away, and everyone walked in front of him, all of them were shocked.
"How can there be a child here?" said the old man.
It was pitch black all around, and I saw a snow-white baby lying on a huge leaf, and the rain kept hitting his body, and the baby was motionless, silent, and his face was pale as if he was dead.
"It's ten miles here, and we shouldn't have anyone else but that. How can there be a baby here?" said the old man in surprise.
"Maybe someone from outside the mountain came to the mountain to hunt for treasure, but they were attacked by the mysterious beasts, and maybe this child was left behind by them. Someone speculated.
In the 100,000 mountains, there was a legend that there was a mysterious medicine, and even the existence of a mysterious treasure, and there were often adventurers who went into the mountains to hunt for treasures, but few people returned. Because, the 100,000 mountains are too dangerous, and there are often terrifying beasts infested.
Xuanyuan Hanyan walked up, her eyes moist, and she stretched out her trembling hands to pick up the baby, and she could feel the presence of this child in the dark, as if the heavens were guiding her.
"Hanyan!" Xuanyuan Yu shouted, there was no one within a radius of ten miles here, and a baby appeared in the barren mountains and wild Ling, it was not normal to say anything, Xuanyuan Yu was afraid of any danger.
"There are no Xuan Qi fluctuations, he is an ordinary person. Patriarch Xuanyuan Feng said.
Xuanyuan Yu's heart relaxed a little, and he also stepped forward to check on the baby of unknown origin.
It is also strange to say that the baby, who was motionless in such a heavy rainstorm, immediately began to cry loudly as soon as he arrived in Xuanyuan Hanyan's arms, as if he had reached his mother's arms.
Xuanyuan Hanyan also hugged the baby and cried, the pain of losing her child turned into tears at this time, and the heavens blessed her to get another child, is this God giving her another chance to be a mother? Xuanyuan Hanyan believed that it must be God's arrangement.
"Yu, this must be God's blessing for us to have a child, if I want to adopt him, let's treat him as our child!"
"This ......" Xuanyuan Yu didn't know what to say. His wife was attacked by a mysterious beast in the mountains, and although she has now stabilized her injuries, she has lost her fertility due to her injuries, which makes her very sad.
But this child's origin is a little strange, and when everyone saw this child just now, it was clear that this child was silent. But before Xuanyuan Hanyan said that he heard the baby's cry.
There is only one Xuanyuan village within a radius of 100 miles, and the people in the village will never take a newborn baby into the mountain, so how can a baby appear on this rainy night?
Looking at the mother and son who were hugging each other in pain, everyone was a little sad, and the patriarch Xuanyuan Feng said: "Now look around to see if there is anything left by the child's parents?"
Everyone looked around, but strangely, there was no sign of human activity around, as if the child had fallen from the sky.
Patriarch Xuanyuan Feng said: "Let's take this child to the cottage first! The mountains are cold, and the child is still young, so don't fall into any disease." ”
"Bring it back to the cottage first, and if we really can't find the child's parents, then we will adopt him. Xuanyuan Yu looked at the woman he loved deeply, his eyes full of pity.
"Hmm!" replied Xuanyuan Hanyan.
Everyone escorted the child and slowly disappeared into the night.
