"Hanchuan, take care!"

"Hanchuan, remember to come back and have a look!"

"Brother Hanchuan, don't forget, you haven't taught me swordsmanship yet!" Qing shouted loudly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well, my brother must remember, everyone, take care!" Ran Hanchuan waved to the villagers at the entrance of the village, trying to suppress his parting tears, his eyes were red, and there was a reluctant smile on his mouth, and finally mustered up the courage, turned around, and walked towards the road ahead. Listening to the farewell cries of the villagers behind him, he kept resisting the urge to turn back and gradually moved away.

The mountain road in the north is winding, Yunxiao Mountain is in the hinterland of the mountains, and thousands of kilometers to the north is a group of huge mountain systems. The way of Ran Hanchuan is to pass through the mother mountain and follow a stream called "Xunshui" to the outside of the mountain.

On the side of the path, the cyan little wolf licked his little paws, quietly waiting for Ran Hanchuan who was walking slowly. Ran Hanchuan smiled hard and said, "Xiaoqing, let's go!" ”

The cyan little wolf looked up at Ran Hanchuan, yawned, and staggered to his heels, Ran Hanchuan squatted down, stretched out his hand, and was about to pick it up, Xiaoqing's own little paw was on Ran Hanchuan's hand, looking at him, for some reason, Ran Hanchuan seemed to feel a comforting emotion from it, he looked at Xiaoqing suspiciously, Xiaoqing's eyes were looking at him very seriously.

"Okay, I'm okay Xiaoqing." Ran Hanchuan gently touched Xiaoqing's head and picked her up.

"Xiaoqing, will you talk to me like Aunt Qing?" On the winding path, Ran Hanchuan looked at Xiaoqing in his arms, with a little expectation, and the question that was obsessed with this seemed to return to the scene when he met the green wolf for the first time.

The breeze of late spring gently fluttered into Ran Hanchuan's arms, swaying Xiaoqing's ungrown fluff. Xiaoqing squinted slightly, her little eyes blinked and blinked, not knowing if she was answering something. The young man's sorrow seems to have slowly calmed down.

At the foot of Yunxiao Mountain

Yun Xingtian stood silently, quietly watching Ran Hanchuan's figure disappear into the distance. In the corner of the eye, a drop of crystal water slipped silently.

"Chuan'er, take care!" Yun Xingtian thought in his heart.

Walking into the village, Village Chief Sun and the other villagers were slowly walking back, Yun Xingtian had a slightly complicated color, stepped forward, and glanced at Sun Lao.

Elder Sun nodded, Yun Xingtian spoke, and said, "Elder Sun, do you remember the agreement made ten years ago?" ”

"Well, remember, it's about to start, right? Since Chuan'er's departure, I have already understood. ”

Yun Xingtian apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Elder Sun, and all the folks, it's really bothering you!" ”

Sun Lao smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, young man, you also helped our village a lot back then, but now it's just a little troublesome!" ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Sun!" Yun Xingtian bent over and said, "Then I'll go to the Mother Peak first to prepare for everyone." ”

"Well, we'll be on our way in a few days."

Early the next morning

A small figure on Yunxiao Mountain sneakily touched the front of the wooden house, and the morning light slowly sprinkled down, it was Ran Hanchuan.

It turned out that Ran Hanchuan was still reluctant in his heart, and ran back again.

"Squeak-" gently opened the wooden door, only to find that the room was empty.

"Uncle Yun!" Ran Hanchuan called, the empty room, and the only thing that answered him was the early morning birdsong.

Hanging down his disappointed shoulders, Ran Hanchuan slowly walked in the house, looking at his home in the past ten years, with mixed feelings in his heart. After a glance, I found that there was a blue and black three-foot long sword hanging on the wall! There is also a line of words on the wooden wall next to it: Han Chuan, Uncle Yun knows that you will come back, you are really a disobedient child! Uncle Yun is already gone, don't waste any more time looking for me, you must put away this sword, haven't you always wanted to know about your parents? That uncle will tell you. Remember, take good care of yourself!

Although Ran Hanchuan has never read a book, and Yun Laizhen has not taught Mr. Scholar here, but Yun Xingtian has also taught him some words in twos and threes on weekdays, he just happened to understand the meaning on the wall, and his eyes were slightly red again.

"Uncle Yun, I will definitely take good care of myself!" Ran Hanchuan muttered softly, not knowing who he was talking to, and solemnly made a promise.

Yunxiao Mountain, the woodland in the hinterland of mountains and forests.

It's still the same ghostly scene, what is missing, just the gentle green wolf and the laughter of the young man. There were many, just the clearing, the dirt bag, the tall tombstone.

"Aunt Qing, Chuan'er and Xiaoqing have come to see you!" Ran Hanchuan's small hand stroked the rough stone tablet, recalling the past scenes. Xiaoqing was staring at the stele in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Roar" Xiong Yan walked to Xiaoqing's side, a terrifying bear paw gently patted Xiaoqing's head, Xiaoqing looked up at him and blinked.

"Big Brother Bear!" Ran Hanchuan turned around and looked at Xiong Yan, and exclaimed with a little surprise. "Where have you been these days? I can't find you anywhere! ”

"Woo" Xiong Yan didn't know what he was saying, Ran Hanchuan sighed and said, "When will you be able to talk like Aunt Qing?" "He seems to have always been interested in this issue, no matter what the animal.

Xiong Yan shrugged his shoulders, looking very helpless.

"Brother Xiong, Xiaoqing and I are leaving, do you want to go with us?" Ran Hanchuan asked.

Xiong Yan looked at the tomb of the green wolf, was silent for a while, and shook his head slightly.

"Hey!" Ran Hanchuan sighed, "Brother Xiong, I'm really scared, I've never been to the outside world, I don't know anything, I don't understand anything, I can't bear you, I can't bear everyone." ”

Xiong Yan patted him on the shoulder, as if to comfort him. Ran Hanchuan looked up at Xiong Yan, and Xiong Yan's other bear paw was actually clenched into a fist. Ran Hanchuan immediately understood, and the same small fist and Xiong Yan's huge fist touched together, and he smiled lightly.

It's still a person, a bear, a wolf, but the big wolf on his back has become a little wolf in his arms. Ran Hanchuan stayed in front of the tomb of the green wolf for a long time, and finally, bowed deeply to the tombstone of the green wolf and left quietly. Xiong Yan sat in front of the tomb and watched Ran Hanchuan go away.

The next morning, when the people of Yunlai Village opened the door of their house, they all found all kinds of prey in front of their house.

Sun Lao looked at the two birds and a fat pheasant in front of the door, his white beard and white eyebrows spread slightly, looking at the distance and stroking his beard and smiling.

The winding path stretches into the distance, uneven in the potholed red earth. Countless years of wind, frost and rain have quietly left their footprints here. On both sides of the road, dense forests are luxuriant, and a few birdsongs break the quiet air from time to time in the silence.

It's rarely populated, and it's rarely visited on weekdays. Ran Hanchuan was alone, holding Xiaoqing in his arms, carrying a long sword with a blue and black scabbard on his back, and walked slowly.

"Xiaoqing, you lazy worm, sleep again!" Ran Hanchuan flicked his finger on Xiaoqing's forehead, Xiaoqing opened his eyes slightly, and his little paw waved twice with great dissatisfaction, and then closed his eyes again.

"Ahh His voice exploded like a shocking blow on the empty path, and the birds in the forest were startled one after another. Xiaoqing opened her eyes and glared at him fiercely, moved her body, and continued to sleep.

Ran Hanchuan smiled bitterly and continued to walk forward boredly. He was very bored all the way, no one talked, no one played, the only Xiaoqing he knew was that he only knew how to sleep, and Ran Hanchuan could only look at the scenery along the way to have fun.

The road is still the road, the tree is still the tree, I am tired of watching it for a long time, and when Ran Hanchuan is depressed, he suddenly heard the sound of "Xili" in front of him, as if it was flowing water, but it was not very like.

Ran Hanchuan couldn't help but walk quickly, and gradually, a slightly wider river appeared in front of him.

There was no water in the river, it was all golden sand, and it was full of water. The golden sand flows slowly forward, like a golden python, rising and falling, with thousands of postures.

Ran Hanchuan's eyes widened, he looked at this scene in amazement, and whispered, "What is this?" It's beautiful! Growing up in the mountains, he had never seen sand, so he couldn't help but have questions.

After thinking for a while, he frowned and said to himself: "It's not water, it's not like a river, is this 'sand', this is what Grandpa Sun said'?" ”

"Hey! Xiaoqing, do you say yes? Ran Hanchuan asked Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing nodded reluctantly and continued to sleep.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! Sleep you to death! Ran Hanchuan scolded, walked forward in the direction of the quicksand, and according to Sun Lao's instructions, when he saw the quicksand, he walked along, and he could see a mountain.

After walking for another half day, the potholed land began to be suppressed by a kind of cyan stone, and a majestic mountain appeared in front of him, revealing a majestic atmosphere.

As soon as Ran Hanchuan stepped into the range of the bluestone land, he felt as if someone was watching him. Ran Hanchuan was shocked, looked up, and there was still no one around. Ran Hanchuan grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and formed a unique intuition, not only did he not let his guard down, but became more cautious.

As long as you walk east for half a day, you can see a river, and you can walk out of this group of mountains and mountains along it.

Until the feeling of being stared at disappeared, Ran Hanchuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and shouted cluelessly: "Grandpa Sun said, when you get to this mountain, go east, Xiaoqing, where do you say the east side?" ”

Xiaoqing in her arms jumped up all of a sudden, glared at Ran Hanchuan angrily, Ran Hanchuan looked at her in surprise, and said, "You finally woke up, tell me quickly, where is the east?" Uh, by the way, you don't seem to be able to speak, ahhh Ran Hanchuan continued to shout, very distressed.

Xiaoqing covered her face with one small paw, and seemed to be very helpless, and the other paw pointed in one direction, impatiently making a "hum" sound.

"Over there? Haha, Xiaoqing, you're so smart! Ran Hanchuan happily patted Xiaoqing's head and walked in the direction of the east. Xiaoqing wagged her tail impatiently, and then went back to sleep.

It was night, and on the quiet mountain road, a cluster of firelight was swaying.

Ran Hanchuan sat on the ground, let out a long breath, and suddenly found that he was so tired after a day's journey.

Looking at Xiaoqing on the side, Ran Hanchuan pouted: "Just you relaxed, slept for a day!" ”

Xiaoqing obviously ignored him, looking at the bright stars in the sky, in a daze.

Touching his stomach and looking at a pheasant stripped of his feathers next to the bonfire, Ran Hanchuan licked his lips and began to roast the pheasant.

Drops of grease slipped into the campfire, splashing ferocious sparks, the pheasant began to turn golden, and the rich aroma began to fill the air with an appetizing taste.

Xiaoqing sniffed, turned his head to look at Ran Hanchuan, and his eyes were shining. Ran Hanchuan felt his hairs stand on end, looked at Xiaoqing's eyes, shook his head again and again, and said, "No, I can't eat enough by myself, you are so young, how can you eat meat?" I heard Uncle Yun say that children all need milk! Or drink porridge, I've got it for you!" With that, he took out a small earthen bowl from the side, which was filled with a bowl of light porridge water.

Xiao Qing glanced at the earthen bowl, obviously disdainful, and looked at Ran Hanchuan, revealing a cute expression of begging.

"Eh-" Ran Hanchuan was at a loss for a moment, and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let you eat!" As he spoke, he tore off one of the chicken legs of the roasted pheasant and handed it to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing hugged it very unceremoniously, it looked quite ridiculous, and quickly ran to the side to enjoy it.

Ran Hanchuan listened to his stomach "cooing", and he didn't care about Xiaoqing, and ate it happily.

After a full meal, a man and a wolf looked at the deep night sky, the twinkling stars, and the flickering full moon in a daze.

"Xiaoqing, do you miss your mother?" Ran Hanchuan touched Xiaoqing's head, Xiaoqing stared at the starry sky and nodded slightly. Ran Hanchuan sighed and said, "Xiaoqing, I, I've always felt guilty, if I hadn't led those three people to Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't have lost your mother just after birth." Speaking of "Mom", Ran Hanchuan's eyes dimmed, paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Xiaoqing, will you blame me?" ”

Xiaoqing's head turned around, looked at Ran Hanchuan for a long time, and finally, shook his head, walked up to Ran Hanchuan, and lowered his head.

"Shhhh

After a while, Xiao Qing let go of his mouth, and Ran Hanchuan had a row of thin tooth marks on his hand. Ran Hanchuan endured the pain and smiled far-fetchedly: "In this way, do you forgive me?" ”

Xiaoqing nodded, sat down beside him, and continued to stare at the night sky.

Ran Hanchuan pursed his lips and laughed with tears in his eyes.

The mountain road bends and bends over half a day of sunshine.

Ran Hanchuan looked at the river in front of him and jumped up excitedly, "It's finally 'Xunshui'!" ”

Xunshui, originating from Xuanyuan Hill 830 miles west of the Mother Mountain, along the Xunshui forward, you will reach the big river "Heishui River" into which Xunshui flows, and then go north along the upper reaches of the Heishui River, you can reach the destination of this trip, a big city called "Nanyang". Although Ran Hanchuan didn't understand what the "city" was, he had just heard Yun Xingtian explain that it was a place where many people lived together.

"Further, you can get to the 'Blackwater River'." Ran Hanchuan said to Xiaoqing in his arms, Xiaoqing nodded, and Ran Hanchuan said again: "Xiaoqing, did you say that the river water of the 'Heishui River' is black?" Otherwise, how can it be called 'Blackwater River'. ”

Xiaoqing stuck out her little tongue and chose to ignore his question.

The water surface is slight, the breeze blows, suddenly, an earth-shattering tiger roar resounded through the mountains and forests, its momentum is so big, like the surging river water is endless, like the thunder above the nine heavens. Ran Hanchuan's face was pale, and he only felt dizzy for a while, and Xiaoqing's two little claws in his arms firmly covered his ears, and his eyes were full of horror. The long sword behind Ran Hanchuan suddenly glowed with a faint blue light, and it stopped in an instant.

The mighty roar of the tiger stirred up waves on the surface of the water, the undercurrent was surging, the beasts in the forest were in turmoil at the same time, the birds and birds were burying their heads in the air, and the beasts were wailing.

After a long time, the whistling sound stopped, Ran Hanchuan shook his head and tried to sober himself up, and was stunned to find that the woods hundreds of miles away were so large that they were actually covered with yellow leaves, and now it was obviously the twilight of spring!

The fear of the unknown filled Ran Hanchuan's heart, and Xiaoqing was silent and buried his head silently. Ran Hanchuan swallowed his saliva hard, settled down, and looked in horror in the direction of the Heishui River in front of him, not knowing whether he should continue to move forward.

After hesitating for a while, Ran Hanchuan was finally afraid of the horror of the howling sound, and went into the nearby mountains and forests, preparing to continue the journey the next day. As soon as he entered the forest, he smelled a foul odor, and a large amount of animal excrement filled the forest. Xiaoqing hurriedly blocked his nose with his little paws, and Ran Hanchuan fled from the mountains and forests while retching and flying. Finally, they settled down by the river.

On the shore of Xunshui, many fish in the water were swept from the water to the shore by the whistling sound, which made Ran Hanchuan save the effort of fishing.

"Xiaoqing, what is that tiger roar?" At night, the frightened Ran Hanchuan asked Xiaoqing in a whisper, Xiaoqing was stunned, seemed to be trying to remember something, and finally shook his head.

"You say, will we continue to go there tomorrow?"

Xiaoqing raised his little paws, pointed to the flow of Xunshui, and pointed to the source of the whistling sound, Ran Hanchuan suddenly realized, "It turns out that there is a deviation, not exactly a direction, it seems that it should not go there, but you still have to be careful when you rush tomorrow." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Ran Hanchuan hurriedly walked in the direction of the Heishui River, and was very fortunate that there was no more terrifying howling, Ran Hanchuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at the turbulent estuary in front of him, and was glad that "it has finally arrived"

Turning his head and looking in the direction he came, Ran Hanchuan took a deep breath, hugged Xiaoqing in his arms, and continued to walk firmly.

"It turns out that the Blackwater River is not black!" Ran Hanchuan's sighing voice made Xiaoqing stare impatiently.

"Then why is it called the Blackwater River?" Ran Hanchuan consulted himself, Xiaoqing blinked, and seemed to be a little confused.

Looking at the upper reaches of the Heishui River, where Nanyang City is located, Ran Hanchuan continued to move forward with tired steps.

A ten-year-old boy, walking alone, accompanied by a green wolf, a new world finally slowly opened the door in front of Ran Hanchuan.
