Chapter 2: The Sixfold Small Realm
February 12.
In the middle of spring, everything is stunned.
In this cold spring, the cold wind on the river is as cold as a knife, and the 100,000 mountains are depressed like dry graves.
There is a county on the bank of the Yinyi River.
It was a county called Chang.
Another deep mountain in the old forest of the 100,000 mountain range.
The rumbling thunder was getting closer and closer, and the wind was raging in the mountains, and the black and oppressive mountains and forests were violently shaken by the strong winds.
Seeing that the sky is about to change, there is a rainstorm.
Click!
Overhead, a bolt of lightning tore through the eerie and terrifying sky, and the heavens and the earth instantly turned pale.
The lightning also illuminated a long-abandoned wild temple standing in the mountains.
Outside the temple is overgrown with shrubs, these trees are twisted and ugly, and the old roots have broken through the soil and are covered with moss.
Primitive.
with the depth.
It is a hollow basin surrounded by high mountains.
The ruined wild temple is right in the middle of the basin.
The wild temple is all built of black mountain rock barriers, but there is an indescribable weirdness and awkwardness, because its beam design is very strange, low in the middle and high at the two ends.
And only doors.
There are no windows designed to circulate air.
Rumble.
Rumble.
The thunder was getting louder and louder, and the mountains and forests were so dark that it was almost impossible to see the road ahead and the way from it, and there were shrubs and thorns everywhere that had cut off their hands.
Muddy and embarrassed, he has been lost in the mountains for a day, and he can't walk out of this deep mountain and old forest, Jin'an, who is very glad that he finally found a place to shelter from the rain before the rainstorm.
Jin An crossed.
It's been a day since he crossed into this world.
Who would have thought that in August and September, he went to Kunlun Mountain, which is known as the hometown of the gods, by car, but accidentally crossed into the strange mountain and forest environment in the cold spring season in front of him.
Cracking sound.
The rain hit the leaves, and on this day, it finally rained, and soon turned into a torrential downpour.
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, come on, there is a temple in front of us that will allow us to shelter from the rain. ”
"Xiaobao, don't run too fast, it's easy to fall down on slippery roads in the mountains and rainy days. ”
A father and son in the rain ran into the wild temple with their heads in their hands.
"Dad, how can there be someone here!"
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown boy rushed into the temple first, caught off guard by Jin An and jumped up in fright, he didn't expect that there were other people in this deep mountain temple.
"Xiaobao, don't run around, stand next to your father... Hello, are you here to take shelter from the rain?"
The father was dark and solid, and at first glance he was an honest mountain man, although he had a strong local accent, but Jin An still understood seven or eight points by guessing it, a bit like the Guichuan accent, but it was not like.
The father and son in the rain are like woodcutters who go into the mountains to chop firewood, carrying bundled firewood behind them.
The clothes on the body are Chinese-style ancient costumes, the inside is coarse linen clothes, and the outer clothes are animal fur to keep out the cold.
The scene in front of me is like walking into the filming site of a costume TV series.
Jin An was stunned.
In the meantime, click!
Overhead, another bolt of lightning pierced the sky, staining the wild temple a miserable white.
At the same time, it also illuminates a clay statue of a woman enshrined in the wild temple, perhaps because it has been abandoned for too long, and the head of the clay statue has disappeared.
I don't know who this headless wild temple was originally enshrined?
The father and son saw that Jin An didn't answer, they only thought that Jin An was not good at talking, so they cautiously kept their distance and busily took care of themselves.
They brought some hay from the temple to use as ignition and then picked out the firewood that had not been wet from the rain, and the father skillfully took out the fire breaker and lit it.
Soon, a warm bonfire was lit in the wild temple, and then the dry food was brought out.
It's a frozen pancake that is hard and cold.
The father and son baked the pancakes on a bonfire and ate them with the rainwater from the bamboo tubes.
Grunt~
Smell the aroma of baked plum cabbage pancakes.
Secretion of fluid in the mouth.
Jin An's stomach was very hungry.
Jin An's face turned red.
He had been lost in the mountains for a day, had not eaten a grain of rice for a whole day, and was now cold and hungry.
"Little brother is hungry, there is still half a pancake left here, if you don't dislike it, little brother, take this half pancake to cushion your stomach first." ”
The middle-aged man's father, with the swarthy and rough skin on his face that has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, did not indifferently reject outsiders, but enthusiastically handed Jin An half a pancake.
Jin An was indeed hungry, and after thanking him gratefully, he devoured the half of the pancake.
After this incident, the relationship between the two sides has become a lot closer, and Jin An has also roughly understood the basic situation of the father and son in front of him.
His father's name is Wang Tiegen, and his boy's name is Wang Xiaobao.
The mountain in front of me has no name in the area, and there are many such ordinary mountains around, and the father and son are mountain people who live nearby, and usually make a living by chopping wood and hunting.
In the past, their father and son would never go into the mountains so deeply, mainly because when they went into the mountains to cut firewood today, they suddenly encountered a litter of wild boars and moved.
The hunters in the mountains all know a sentence, one pig, two bears and three tigers.
Wild boars are ferocious, and adult wild boars do not dare to provoke even bears and tigers.
The father and son fled for their lives in a panic, but accidentally went deep into the mountains and forests, so they had the scene in front of them.
......
Chatting and chatting, the night gradually sank, and a deep sense of sleepiness began to come up, and the three of them fell asleep one after another against the corner.
I don't know how long I slept in this sleep.
In a daze.
Jin An heard some movement.
He opened his sleepy eyes.
I saw that Wang Xiaobao got up from the haystack.
The child rubbed his eyes and walked out of the wild temple as he unbelted his trousers.
"Xiaobao, where are you going?"
Wang Tiegen woke up halfway and shouted sleepily.
"Daddy, I'm going to pee. It was Wang Xiaobao's answer.
"Then pee at the door, don't go far. ”
"Hmm. ”
Jin An didn't know why he was so sleepy tonight, his eyelids were as heavy as lead, and he soon fell asleep again.
There is no time reference in the mountains.
Jin An didn't know how long he slept this time.
...... He was woken up by Wang Tiegen's anxious shouts.
"Xiaobao!"
"Xiaobao!"
"Xiaobao, where are you, don't scare my father!"
Jin An turned over and woke up: "What's the matter with Uncle Wang, I remember that Wang Xiaobao didn't go out to pee?"
"Has he never come back?"
Wang Tiegen was already crying out loud at this time: "I blame me for this! I don't know why I had to die when I slept today, and I didn't pay attention to Xiaobao!"
"Just now I dreamed that Xiaobao had been crying, and he was still crying out in pain, crying that there were ghosts in this temple, and the mud statue was eating him, and he was about to be eaten, so I was told to run for my life!"
"When I wake up, I search the entire temple, but I can't find Xiaobao!"
The child's loss made Wang Tiegen anxious.
Jin An was surprised.
He subconsciously looked at the clay statue in the temple with its head missing.
This time, he looked at the headless clay statue again, and somehow, his heart was furious, as if someone was staring at him.
Jin An didn't believe in ghosts and gods in that era, he took a deep breath, took the boldness, picked up the wood chopping knife that Wang Tiegen put on the ground, and strode to the headless clay statue to chop.
Poof.
Poof.
As a result, a young man's arm that had been chewed off by his teeth really fell out of the clay statue, and there was a bloody Wang Xiaobao's head.
"Xiaobao!"
Wang Tiegen screamed, threw himself in front of his son's head, hugged his head and cried.
But Jin An didn't dare to move when he stood in front of the clay statue, and his face was stiff, because in addition to Wang Xiaobao's mutilated corpse, there was also a half-section of Wang Tiegen's highly decomposed corpse! Looking at the high degree of decomposition, he had been dead for at least ten days and half a month!
However, Wang Tiegen was now holding his son's head at his feet, heartbroken and crying bitterly.
Jin An is cool!
