Time flies, and fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The quiet of the town is shattered by a fat knock on the door.
"Cousin, cousin." While shooting and shouting, he almost didn't tear down the door.
Chen Haofeng put down the book in his hand and went to open the door. At this time of the month, his cousin Ye Hui would come to talk to him, and every time his cousin came over, he would talk to him about the outside world. The outside world is so exciting, I really want to go out and see it. Chen Haofeng muttered.
"Good news, cousin." As soon as he opened the door, he saw a black shadow pounce on him, and the two almost fell together.
"Cousin, you're not afraid of crushing me to death."
"Hey, hey." Ye Hui knows his tonnage, not to mention his cousin, who is an ordinary martial arts practitioner, and he is cold enough to choke on him.
"Do you know, the ten-year martial arts conference is about to start, and all the sects and families will attend, and the young talents will definitely go out of the mountain one by one to experience, and it will be very lively at that time."
"Really?"
"Really, it is said that the current martial arts alliance leader Hong Yan Daxia intends to make his son Hong Zhao the new alliance leader and begins to cultivate Hong Zhao. It's the Floating Cloud Sword Hong Zhao that I mentioned to you last time. ”
"Ah, is that the Floating Cloud Sword that overturned a branch of the Demon Sect with one person and one sword two years ago?"
"But I think it's not easy for his Hong family to be the leader of the four alliances, it has always been his Hong family's people to be the leader of the alliance, although it is expected by everyone, but other sect families must also want their own people to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, so this martial arts conference must be very exciting."
Chen Haofeng looked yearning, "It's a pity that my aunt was strict when she was a child, and she didn't let me go far away, and I wasn't allowed to practice martial arts, this martial arts conference has nothing to do with me." Chen Haofeng turned to self-deprecation.
"That's why I'm here, good news!" The little fat man's eyebrows danced.
"What good news can there be, my aunt is really, why do you still treat me like a child when I'm so old."
Ye Hui first looked back and forth, and then whispered: "I don't know what happened, my father and my mother hurried back to the Chen family's old house, and asked me to take care of you before leaving." ”
"What kind of good news is this, that's what you're here to tell me?" After saying that, he was ready to fight.
"Don't worry, haven't you heard that it's hard to prevent house thieves day and night?"
"What do you mean?"
"I pretended not to pay attention to you leaving, but I found out later but I was afraid of being scolded, so I could only use white lies to tell my mother that everything was safe, hehe, I can only help you get here." After saying that, you have an expression that you understand.
"You're not afraid of being skinned by your aunt?"
"It's not a big deal, I'll try to help you delay, the boy is going to go out for a long time, what's the point of staying at home as a whole, maybe our brothers can meet at the conference."
"Worthy of a brother, I'll make your favorite braised pork hoof oil stewed fish in the evening."
"Just wait for your words, let's have a few drinks in the evening and treat it as a practice for you."
"So fast? I don't know where to go when I go out for the first time, what should I bring, I don't know anything anyway, you have to teach me. ”
"Chi is changing, don't you go to practice, go around to see the local customs, bring money or something, tell you, it's actually very chaotic outside, you have been studying for so many years, what wealth does not need me to pay, there are many doorways here, I will slowly tell you ......"
My name is Chen Haofeng and I am 15 years old. I was at my aunt's house, and I didn't see my parents, but I knew that they were busy. When I got older, I moved to a private school in the town, which was convenient for me to study and felt free. It's not that my aunt treats me badly, it's just that boys don't like to be restrained. Since I was a child, I liked to dance with guns and sticks, but my aunt and uncle just refused to teach, on the contrary, Ye Hui's cousin punished him for being lazy in practice, which made me very puzzled, and for a while I thought maliciously "I am not biological". Ha ha.
"Haofeng, what dreams do you have?" Ye Hui asked drunkenly.
"Dream, I didn't think much about it, I used to want to be a hero and laugh proudly, but I didn't know any martial arts. My aunt wants me to gain fame, but you know that I don't want to be an official at all. Seriously, I'm confused and don't know what I'm going to do in the future. ”
"Do you think I'm stupid, I actually think I'm stupid. Thinking about some mess all day long, why didn't my parents come to see me, even if it was just for a look, why didn't they come, why? ”
There was a snoring sound in his ears, Chen Haofeng rolled his eyes, and he said so much about playing the piano to the cow? Looking out the window, the moon is in the sky and the stars are dotted. Thinking that I can go out tomorrow, I still have a little sadness gone. In the end, he is a young man, and sorrow comes and goes quickly.
Even many years later, every time I look back, I always sigh that if I hadn't been so rebellious, maybe I wouldn't have known everyone, and naturally there would be no next series of things. Although I shout all day long that my life is up to me, how many people in the world can achieve this situation.
I thought about it all night, and I don't remember when I fell asleep, and I was woken up by my cousin Ye Hui in a daze.
"Cousin, this is your first time going out of the house, and I should have gone out with you, but you also know my mother's temper, if you know that we run away from home, something big will happen."
The corners of Chen Haofeng's mouth twitched, "Do you say that about your mother, although it has always been my wish to go out and see, but this cannot affect the feelings of our relatives." If my aunt gets angry about it, I might as well stay home. ”
"Don't, it's rare to have such a good opportunity, anger is certain, it depends on how long I can delay and how long you can delay."
"What's the matter with me?"
"Don't think about it so easily, you must know that our Ye family and Chen family are big families, and it is very simple to find you in one place. If you don't want to be caught just out of the house, you'll have to hide. ”
"It's not a thief, what are you hiding!" Rolled his eyes helplessly. At this time when the two were chatting, the things that should have been packed were almost packed, and the little black horse given by Ye Hui was led, and the two went out of town.
"Okay cousin, it's okay to send it here, you can go back."
Ye Hui tightly pulled Chen Haofeng's sleeve. "Otherwise, I'll be with you, I can't rest assured that you're alone, you've never been far away, what should I do if something happens!"
"Can you say something nice, you started expecting me to have an accident before I even set off." Chen Haofeng quipped, "I won't fight with others, I will do what I can when the road is uneven, and others will not embarrass a scholar, besides, I mainly go out to see the outside world and see the customs and customs of various places, there will be no danger." ”
"Then you have to be careful, in addition, you have to carry this sign, if you have anything to do with Minglou, they will help you when they see it." After finishing speaking, he stuffed it into Chen Haofeng's backpack, and sent you a thousand miles away, and the two brothers didn't need to say too much politely, smiled and rode away on horseback.
Seeing Chen Haofeng leaving, Ye Hui shouted, "Don't fall for the prestige of our Ye and Chen families." ”
Happiness came so suddenly, Chen Haofeng didn't have time to make a plan or something, and after running for more than ten miles in one go, he found that he didn't know where he was going! After thinking about it for a long time, there was no good place to go, so I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and I went wherever I went. Just walk in one direction, you can always see people, and when the time comes, you will inquire and decide where you want to go.
In this way, with a dream, the boy walked out of the town where he had lived for more than ten years. But before he could feel what it meant to be a river and lake, reality gave him a heavy blow. Chen Haofeng was lost, not only lost but also out of food. In the deep mountains and old forests, all the dry food was eaten, but fortunately, the road was endless, and I walked to the road before I was hungry, and I believe that I could walk to a populated place along the road.
"I can finally eat a hot meal." Chen Haofeng muttered, his face has turned green from eating dry food in the past few days, and he has to make up for it. The thought of food became more and more impatient, and he rode away at a gallop.
About half an hour after walking, I saw a stone archway in the distance, and the three words of Qingshui Town were written on it. Chen Haofeng, who was waiting, went in and found that the pedestrians on the road looked panicked, and many shops were closed during the day, which made people feel strange.
I walked through several small shops, all of which closed early, "Are you still hungry?" Chen Haofeng sighed secretly. I led the horse around for a while, and found a noodle stall not far away, where many people were eating. Chen Haofeng swallowed his saliva and immediately found a seat to sit down.
"Old man, do you have anything else to eat?"
"This guest officer, the noodles are gone, and there are still some wontons left, you see?" The old man looked at him expectantly.
"Then let's have two bowls, three bowls, or five bowls." After speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly. The old man looked at him in surprise, and then moved.
"Eat and eat." Chen Haofeng's cheerful thoughts. At this time, the conversation of several people next to him caught his attention.
"Did you know that Zhang Lihu from the East Village has disappeared in Nanshan!"
"What, missing again? In addition, Wang Er Mazi has four people missing in Nanshan this month. ”
"But no, since half a year ago, people have disappeared one after another, I heard that there was a monster from the mountain, and I ate it when I caught someone."
........
Chen Haofeng held the wonton that had just been served, and said curiously: "Old man, where is this, what's going on with the monsters they are talking about?" ”
"Alas, you don't know anything about it, guest officer. This place is Qingshui Town, very close to Xunyang City, and we only need to go over Nanshan to Xunyang, but since half a year ago, someone has passed by Nanshan and disappeared. It's also strange to say, it's okay if a caravan with a lot of people passes by, so there are rumors of monsters. ”
"Does the government know about this?"
"How can I not know, I have sent several waves of officials to Nanshan, but I didn't find anything, and I stopped paying attention to it over time."
"Is it really a youkai? Or is it a monster who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard? Chen Haofeng muttered to himself.
"Childish!"
