Chapter 2: Another World

A high mountain outside the city of Yuhe in Muguo is called: Black Wood Forest, because there are many wild beasts in the mountains, ordinary people rarely enter the mountain. It is rumored that after the death of Muzun of the country thousands of years ago, a barrier was set up to surround a cave in the mountain. And there are wolves guarding it, and because the thousand-year-old seal is invalid, the aura in the cave is getting smaller and smaller.

The young man dressed in black and coarse cloth was seriously ill because the people in the village were seriously ill, and the medicinal herbs that could be bought outside were very expensive, and when he heard that the previous Ren Muzun died in the cave, there was a lake of lotus flowers, and its lotus seeds could cure diseases, so he carefully avoided the wolves and secretly went up the mountain. The young man patted the girl who had just been pulled back from the water's edge with his hand, and saw that her facial features were delicate and her face was slightly pale, probably blistered. Seeing that his clothes did not look like those of the locals, he was very puzzled.

In troubled times, disasters continue to occur in various countries, the once prosperous and prosperous Mu country, without the support of Mu Zun's spiritual power, in recent years, the medicinal herbs used for treatment, food is becoming more and more scarce, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen purchase a large number of diseases, ordinary people are sick and difficult to treat, many people die every month, plus famine everywhere, the crops in the fields are getting less and less. It's getting more and more expensive. Even livestock meat is not affordable for everyone. Outside the imperial city, ordinary people could only look for food everywhere to satisfy their hunger.

Li Wei, a 14-year-old boy, also walked from more than 3 kilometers to this forest full of wild beasts to look for medicinal herbs, and finally touched it, only to see that there was a pond of lotus flowers in the cave, blooming luxuriantly, and there was a willow tree hanging low in the lake. Suddenly, I saw a thing floating by the lake, and when I got closer, it was a woman, I was probing her pulse, and I was breathing, looking at her woman's shirt, it was really weird.

A strange man's voice sounded in Ye Xiaomu's ears. There is also a slight pain in the face.

"Hey, wake up!" Li Wei said.

"Ahem"

Ye Xiaomu gently coughed up the water in his lungs, and slowly opened his eyes, his head was still a little dizzy. His eyes looked back from side to side, and his mind was still stuck in the situation where he had just fallen into the water. When I first fell into the water, I could still hear the sound of ink dust, but then I couldn't hear it, I don't know what was going on, I scratched it again and again in the water, as if I had caught a lotus pod, and something was stabbed in my hand, and something was pierced into my palm. A green light surrounded him, and then he felt dizzy and unconscious.

When he woke up, he saw a boy in gray costume beside him, looking at him with a confused expression.

"You~ Who are you? What is this place? Ye Xiaomu asked the boy weakly.

"This is Mu Guo, my name is Li Wei, originally I was collecting medicine, who knew that I found you lying on the water, now it's getting dark outside, it seems that it's too late to pick lotus seeds today, girl, this place is dangerous, let's leave early."

Li Wei said disappointedly, and then packed up his things.

"Thank you Li Wei, my name is Ye Xiaomu. I'm not familiar with this place, I'm a little scared, can I leave with you? Ye Xiaomu thought about it, it was safer to have someone next to him, after all, he didn't know what would appear here. I'm really scared.

"It's okay, but you have to go faster, it's getting dark now, if you can't go down the mountain before dark, and there will be danger at that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you, you can do it yourself."

After Li Wei finished speaking, he took his things and hurried down the mountain. Ye Xiaomu didn't dare to stay longer, and followed closely.

The sky suddenly became darker and darker, and seeing that it was going to rain heavily, Ye Xiaomu and the others walked halfway up the mountain.

"Oh no, it's too late to go down, it's raining too much, let's hide. There is a small cave on the left side of the walk~ I saw when I came up, and I should be able to take a break. ”

After Li Wei finished speaking, he walked to the left. Ye Xiaomu had no choice but to follow. As soon as the two of them arrived in the cave, it began to rain heavily, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

"Come over here, get something to eat. Someone should have been here before," Li Wei patted a pile of dry straw in the cave.

After Li Wei lit the fire with hay, he took something out of the baggage, a rough cloth coat and two dry baked cakes. Li Wei ate a baked cake by himself and handed the rest of the things in his hand to Ye Xiaomu. After waking up, Ye Xiaomu, who was still groggy, took it and thanked him. Looking at the baked cakes and clothes in his hand, he really felt like he was dreaming, so he pinched his thigh with his hand, and his tears were about to flow out.

Ye Xiaomu: It's not a dream! Oh, my God! I've really crossed over. Hey~ I shouldn't have come down by myself! And Mochen, I seem to have seen him jump off too, where did this guy go? Oh, my God! Do you want to live on your own now? Did he come or not? I've got to find a way to get back alive.

Ye Xiaomu, who had never suffered much since he was a child, had to accept his fate. Ye Xiaomu held the dry baked cake in his hand and ate it slowly, this kind of food was really hard enough, and when he was thirsty, he could only walk to the entrance of the cave and drink the rain. The clothes on my body are soaked, and if I don't change them, I will catch a cold. But how do you change a guy here?

"Your clothes are wet, if you have a cold, don't blame me for anything at that time, don't worry, I'm a decent man, so I won't peek at you." If I really want to see you when I get you up, I can already see it. Li Wei saw Ye Xiaomu's discomfort, and walked to the entrance of the cave to look outside. Then he said without looking back.

"Thanks, sorry for the trouble." Ye Xiaomu said embarrassedly.

After Ye Xiaomu finished changing his clothes, he said to Li Wei, "I'm already fine." ”

Li Wei turned around and looked at Ye Xiaomu's cleaned face, and felt that his body was a little hot.

Ye Xiaomu already has a clean and delicate face, his eyes are as bright as stars, his skin is white and beautiful, and he looks like a fairy in his gestures. Even the coarse linen she wears now can't stop her charm. It's just that the modern clothes I wore when I was first rescued looked strange, my face was blistered, a little white, there was no blood, and there was some mud that I couldn't see. The heavy rain outside also slowly stopped, and it was much quieter all of a sudden.

"Oh woo~" A sudden wolf howl broke the silence of the two in the distance.

"Oh no, there's wolves. Today is really unlucky, I ran for nothing, it rained again, and I met wolves. Li Wei complained unwillingly.

"I'm sorry, if I didn't walk too slowly, it wouldn't have affected you, if there is any danger, you can go first, leave me alone." Ye Xiaomu said so, but he was so scared to death in his heart.

"Just kidding, am I this kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? If I were to go, I would have left alone a long time ago. ”

"Put out the fire in the cave first, as long as they don't find out, we'll be fine." Li Wei said as he extinguished the fire with mud and sand.

The cave was pitch black, Li Wei picked up a stone, Ye Xiaomu stood nervously next to Li Wei, leaning his back against the wall, quietly listening to the wind outside. About an hour passed, and the wolf howls grew farther and farther away. Both exhaled heavily. When the wolf's voice could not be heard at all, the two of them raised the fire again and prepared to rest.

"You can sleep first! Seeing that your face is still a little pale, I will look at the night tonight, and I will tell you if there is any movement at that time. Li Wei said as he sat down at the entrance of the cave and kept staring outside.

"Okay, thank you, if you're tired, tell me, and I'll keep it." Ye Xiaomu looked at this boy who was three years younger than him but behaved like an adult, so strong that it made people feel distressed. If in modern times, he can still be spoiled by his parents' side.

Ye Xiaomu was so tired, he just closed his eyes and rested, and then he fell into a dream, Ye Xiaomu had the same dream before, and he was at a loss, when he suddenly felt that there was something wet on his face licking his face, he was startled, sat up, and saw a snow-white teddy-sized little wolf standing next to him, sticking out his tongue, looking at Ye Xiaomu, looking so cute. How did it get in~ Li Wei? Ye Xiaomu looked at the entrance of the cave worriedly and saw a little boy sitting there who had fallen asleep. After all, it's still a 14-year-old. I must be tired today, but how did this little wolf get in here? It doesn't seem like a threat to itself. And the inexplicable feeling is a bit kind, is it an illusion?

Ye Xiaomu didn't know that the little wolf was the son of the previous generation of wolf kings, and the wolf kings had been passed down from generation to generation, and the wolf clan had always guarded the Black Wood Forest, and people were afraid that no one dared to disturb them. They must guard the task assigned by their master, and wait for the Wood Spirit Venerable to return after a thousand years. Before the end of Mu Lingzun's life, the aura was injected into the lake so that the lotus pond in the center of the lake was in full bloom, so as to ensure that Mu Lingzun could come back smoothly when he was alive after a thousand years. Because of the death of Mu Zun, who mastered the growth of plants and trees, the plants that relied on Mu Zun to improve their growth have begun to grow slowly, and some rare herbs have even withered. After a thousand years, the aura in the lotus pond became less and less, so that the grass and trees in the black wood forest also grew slowly, and the precious medicine had long been purchased by the nobles, and it was difficult to buy it. Ordinary people have no cure for their illnesses and have to find a way to survive, except for the black wood forest, most of the other mountains are deserted. In some parts of the country, there have been a large number of mountain bandits. The people were miserable.

"Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally back. I've been looking for you when I smell you in the hole. The little wolf leaned towards Ye Xiaomu as he spoke.

Ye Xiaomu looked at this weird little wolf and could actually speak, and still called me master? was so frightened that he jumped to the side again, at this time, Li Wei woke up when he heard the movement, and looked at the little wolf leaning on Ye Xiaomu while barking, thinking that he was going to bite her, and he just picked up something and was about to smash it on it.

"Li Wei, wait a minute, I don't think it has any malicious intent." Saying that, Ye Xiaomu asked tentatively.

"Are you a wolf here? What is your name? ”

"Master, I am the son of the previous wolf king, named Xiaoshan, I exist for the master." After speaking, he wanted to walk over again, but he didn't dare to move when he looked at Li Wei.

"It's a wolf, except for my country's Mu Zun, how do you know what it says?"

"I think it's weird, too, but I can hear it, don't believe it." After speaking, Ye Xiaomu said to the little wolf.

"If you can understand what I'm saying, you do what I say."

"Okay." Xiaoshan replied happily.

"Now you take two steps to the left," Ye Xiaomu just finished speaking, and the little wolf took two steps to the left.

"Now you take two more steps to the right and turn in a circle." Then the wolf took two more steps to the right, and then made a circle.

"Stretch out your left hand"

"Okay, stretch out your right hand"

I saw that the little wolf did all the instructions of Ye Xiaomu.

Li Wei looked at this strange scene, he couldn't believe his eyes, what was the situation? Then she looked at Ye Xiaomu again, she could actually understand the beast language, could it be that she was the reincarnation of Mu Zun? I remember the patriarch said that according to legend, only the Lord Mu of the Wood Country understands the language of ten thousand beasts. Could it be that Mu Jing was born? I'll have to go back and ask the patriarch. If she is really that Venerable, our Mu Kingdom will be saved. The continent can be calm. Li Weiqiang endured his excitement and looked at Ye Xiaomu in surprise.

"Now you believe it, right? It doesn't hurt us. Ye Xiaomu bent down to pick up the little wolf, and said to Li Wei while running its fur with one hand.

"Hmm~ I believe it~ I believe it. As soon as the morning dawns, let's go down the mountain together. It was still a while before dawn, and Li Wei asked Ye Xiaomu to rest for a while before going down the mountain. The little wolf Xiaoshan snuggled up to Ye Xiaomu's side.
