Chapter 2 The Shepherd Boy of the Mountain Village

The clouds are covered with snow all year round, and the ridges of the knife and axe are winding and entrenched. From a distance, the www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun pavilion looks like a coat of frost and sand, and the ravines on the gray mountain are intertwined, forming thousands of peaks. Each peak is shrouded in a thin cyan mist.

But I saw the huge mountain in the middle, unusually abrupt and towering, straight to the sky, inserting into a blue cloud.

This cyan, cloud-like mist, slowly flows around the peak. With each passing of the clouds, the cyan seemed to increase by another point, and even the cyan clouds in the sky were attracted and slowly surged towards this peak.

It is rumored that this mountain has been around for tens of thousands of years, and originally there was only snow and clouds on the mountain, which is no different from other mountains.

I don't know when it started, and I don't know why, the top of the mountain suddenly formed such a mist-shrouded wonder.

I heard that many capable men have climbed this mountain, but Yunwu Mountain is not only steep and dangerous, but also extremely cold. Those who go to seek either return injured or have been lost ever since.

Many people thought that the missing person had lost his life by falling off a cliff. He was dragged away by wild beasts, so he couldn't find his body. But there are also people who say that there are immortals living on the top of this mountain, and the missing human body is outstanding, and the perseverance is amazing, and after reaching the top, it is included in the door wall by the gods, and since then it has set foot on the legendary supreme fairy road.

There are different opinions, and they all end up in different ways. People often talk about it on the street or in a wine shop, and when they talk about their interests, they pat each other on the shoulder and laugh loudly, and when they argue, they will also blush-face and look at each other angrily. It's just that whenever the blue mist on the top of the cloud mountain is mentioned, there will be a look of awe and fascination.

It is bitterly cold all year round on the cloudy mountain, but it is warm like spring all year round under the mountain.

At the foot of the South Ridge Mountain, there is a small lake, the surface of the lake is like a mirror, and the white and quiet snow-capped mountains and blue clouds are reflected in the mirror.

Occasionally, an unknown bird rows across the lake, picking up a silver fat fish, causing the lake to ripple slightly. The snow-capped mountains and clouds in the mirror also blurred and drifted away, and gradually gathered and condensed。。。。。。

On the far side of the mountain, there is a large area of velvet meadow.

At the edge of the meadow, there are several thatched huts, facing the lake, scattered around. The roof of the hay is pine, golden and supple, and is leaned by bamboo strips and vines on the gray adobe walls.

The breeze blows, the green bamboo rustles behind the thatched hut, and the bamboo shadow passes through the roof, gently floating on the wooden tables and bamboo chairs in the courtyard, everything looks rustic and natural.

"Haha。。。。。。 Brother Xiaoshan! Hurry up! Let the cows run faster! ”

On the grass by the lake, a girl wearing a red belly pocket and a pigtail on her head, her limbs were propped on the back of a green cow, and her little head was raised and shouted to the boy who was petunia.

"Fast? Don't cry if you fall and fall your ass! ”

The boy was about eight or nine years old, with short hair and big eyes, and only a short brown cowhide skirt around his waist, revealing a slightly dark skin.

Because the morning glory was running, he was panting in his mouth, holding a hemp rope from the horns of the green ox in his hand, and from time to time he looked back at the girl on the cow's back, and his little face was full of smiles.

"Promise not to cry, hurry! Faster! ”

The girl agreed childishly, and at the same time wiped her snot with a pink little hand. Unexpectedly, at the moment when her little hand was hanging in the air, the green cow suddenly swung sideways, and rushed forward, and the girl only felt that one hand could not be grasped firmly, her body slipped, and she screamed loudly.

"Ahh

When the boy heard this, his heart was not good, and he hurriedly looked back. The girl had fallen on the grass with a big butt, and above a pair of pigtails, a cow's hoof was hanging.

Seeing that the cow's hooves were about to be trampled off, he didn't see the slightest panic on the boy's face, as if he knew that the girl was not in danger.

Sure enough, I saw the green cow "Moo... At the same time, a very unnatural "cow swinging legs" happened to throw the cow's hooves over the top of the girl's head and landed firmly on the grass beside her.

Immediately after "Wow... With a sound, the eyes of the girl sitting on the grass opened, the pear blossoms brought rain, and tears fell like beads.

When the boy saw this, he let go of the hemp rope in his hand, and did not care about the green ox at the end of the rope. came to the girl's side and squatted down, hugged her, and comforted her softly, "Sister Xia doesn't cry!" Did the fall hurt? ”

The boy's comfort was very effective, and the girl stopped her tears, blinked her big wet eyes, touched her buttocks again, and said:

"It doesn't hurt! Brother Xiaoshan, Xiao Hei is naughty again, you have to help me teach it a lesson! Also, it's not allowed to give it Yunmai to eat tonight! ”

The green cow grazing on the side saw the girl with a small finger at herself, seemed to understand what she said, raised the cow's head and "mooed" at the girl as if demonstrating.

"Humph!"

After the girl saw Qingniu's "response", the pink Qiong's nose wrinkled, and she snorted, and wanted to say something more "severe" punishment for Qingniu.

Seeing this scene, the boy deliberately interrupted: "Sister Xia, don't pay attention to it, let's go catch fish!" It's not early, and if I don't prepare dinner for my father, I'm afraid I'm going to come in a hurry."

"Ahh That's right! Let's catch fish! The girl was really distracted and forgot about the fall just now.

Her small body was very agile, and she got up and ran quickly towards a mound not far away.

Picking up the fish basket on the mound, skillfully carrying it on his back, and dragging a harpoon with one hand that stood taller than her, he staggered towards the lake, ran a few steps, turned back and beckoned to the boy and shouted:

"Brother Xiaoshan, hurry up!"

The boy answered, and first drove the five oxen in the grass to the green ox. Then he untied the hemp rope from the horns of the green ox, patted its huge head, and said:

"Blackie! Watch him for them! When you're full, take them back to the village! ”

Qingniu rubbed the boy twice affectionately with his nose, and exhaled two balls of hot air, which made his chest itch, and the boy couldn't help laughing.

Qingniu seemed to be very satisfied with his masterpiece, and with a light "moo", he lowered his head and went to eat grass by himself。。。。。。

This pair of children is the children of an ordinary farmer at the foot of Yunwu Mountain. The elder brother Yunshan is nine years old this year, and the younger sister Yunxia is six years old this year. Their mother, Li Xing, married from Dongshan Village, not far away, to Xiaohu Village. Li Xing has a dignified appearance, although her body is relatively weak and she can't do farm work, she is ingenious, good at weaving all kinds of bamboo baskets and fishing baskets, and her skin is much fairer than the daughters of ordinary villagers, and she is more beautiful. Father Lu Dazhuan is a well-known diligent and honest man in several villages, and the two live happily together.

Li Xing gave birth to Yunshan a year after she got married, and there were several tables of banquets in the village to celebrate, and many villagers in Dongshan Village also sent gifts, and everyone was very envious of this couple.

However, after her mother Li Xing gave birth to Yunxia, her body was always weak, and she lost her blood during childbirth, so she was bedridden and died soon after. Leaving only Lu Dazhuan and two children, Dazhuan raised two children by himself, although there are neighbors who often help, but life has been very hard.

It wasn't until the past two years that it gradually improved, just because there was a green cow at home.

This green cow was found when Yun Shan was five years old when he was collecting firewood at the foot of the mountain, when the green cow was still very young, and somehow, one of its front legs was stuck in a stone crevice and could not be pulled out. When it was found, the little green cow was already dying.

Under the careful care of Yunshan, the little green cow not only healed quickly from its injuries, but also grew very strong, and its strength was much greater than that of other cultivated cattle. Surprisingly, this green cow is very human, and he is even more obedient to Yunshan. The green cow is blue-black all over its body without a trace of miscellaneous hair, so Yunshan named it Xiaohei.

Yunshan was reluctant to pierce the nose ring for Xiao Hei, and only tied a piece of hemp rope on Xiao Hei's head to direct it to plough the field and grind. In addition to doing ordinary farm work, Xiao Hei can help take care of several other cattle in the village, Xiao Hei often takes them to graze in the meadow by the lake or in the field.

。。。。。。

Sandy area by the lake.

Yunxia held down a churning silverfish with both hands and expertly threw the fish into the basket. Looking at the fish basket, his small mouth was raised, his big moist eyes blinked twice, and he suddenly said to Yun Shan.

"Brother Xiaoshan's basket is full of fish! Let's go back. Uncle Er, Uncle Dayong, and Daddy, it's time for them to come back from the bazaar. ”

"Really? I'm afraid it's Sister Xia'er, who is anxious to wear the red head rope that Daddy replaced! Rest assured, this time Daddy and a few uncles brought a lot of local products and bamboo weaving to the market, and they will definitely bring back the red head rope. ”

Yun Shan caught a few fish by himself, and he knew it in his heart, how could his sister's careful thinking hide it from him.

He carried the fish basket on his back, carried the harpoon, doted on his sister's lowered little head, looked at her red face and said with a smile: "Go!" Let's go back! Maybe Daddy will bring us two sugar men back. ”

"Ahh It's true? That's great! ”

Yunxia seemed to have forgotten the shame of being exposed to lies, and suddenly raised her head and looked at the bamboo forest in the distance and a few vague thatched huts. grabbed Yun Shan's hand and dragged him towards the direction of the village.

Although they could see the village, it was also several miles away, but fortunately, the two of them often traveled and were used to it, and they arrived at the entrance of the village when it was just dark.

The two of them had just walked across the old wooden plank bridge at the entrance of the village, and immediately felt a pungent fishy smell coming to their faces, Yun Shan chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but look towards the village.

Several cattle fell on the side of the road, and pools of blood poured out from under them. Yun Shan dropped the fish basket and picked up Yunxia, who had already been frightened, and rushed into his yard. I saw that the tables and chairs in the courtyard were scattered, and half of the thatched hut had collapsed.

"How so?"

"Daddy! Dad! Yun Shan resisted the urge to cry and shouted left and right, but no one answered.

An ominous premonition suddenly came over me.

He threw himself on the ruins of the collapsed half of the hut, tore the thatch, and pushed away the adobe that had fallen on it. I saw a dazzling bloodstain on the ground below, but there was no shadow of Daddy.

"Brother Xiaoshan, Daddy, he... Daddy, where did he go? Whining... Yunxia lay on Yun Shan's back, shook Yun Shan's neck, and cried.

"Clouds ... Wan shan... ”

Yun Shan didn't know how to answer his sister's words. Just as he was turning around to go to the other uncle's house, he suddenly heard a weak voice coming from the bamboo forest behind the house.
