The winter of the nineteenth year of the Canglong Kingdom!

The foothills of the reckless mountains in the eastern region are stacked vertically and horizontally, and the clouds and mist are shrouded all year round, and there are many birds and beasts in the mountains.

Among the many foothills, it is like a natural barrier.

In particular, the main peak, Wumeng Mountain, is shrouded in heavy clouds and mist, and it is difficult to see the light of day all year round.

At the foot of Wumeng Mountain, dozens of dilapidated courtyards.

In the east of the village, a courtyard is lit up with lights, and dozens of people are busy.

In the courtyard, two women in coarse clothes are cooking tomorrow's wedding banquet in their hands, and the melodious sound of joyful laughter is far away.

"Lao Ling's family, Xiao'er and Yan'er's childhood sweethearts, they are in love, and they will give a big gift tomorrow, and your two elders can enjoy happiness. ”

"Giggles... Miss Yan'er is sensible, Xiao'er can marry such a good lady, it is the blessing of my Ling family, but she is a little wronged Miss Yan'er. ”

"What's wronged! Both of them have grown up, and they have long been secretly in love, and they promise each other that they can become husband and wife and grow old together, what a good thing!"

"It's... Yes...!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the wing, although it was already winter, but he was wearing two pieces of coarse clothes, looking at the festive appearance of the courtyard, he couldn't feel the cold at all.

"I said Xiao'er, tomorrow is the wedding between you and Yan'er, go to the back mountain and take out the good wine I have stored in the cellar for ten years. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at it and shouted to the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy who was pasting the wallpaper with the word "Xi".

"Dad, I'll go when I'm done posting this. ”

The boy smiled at his father and immediately put up the wallpaper again.

"This kid...!"

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After the teenager finished pasting three or two times, he pressed it hard two more times, for fear that the "Xi" sticker would fall off.

"Dad, mother, I'll go to the back mountain to drink. ”

After saluting his father and mother, the boy carried the barrel and walked towards the back mountain.

On the back mountain path, the young man jumped and jumped excitedly with a wooden barrel, thinking about the wedding with Yan'er tomorrow, and finally dreamed of her becoming his bride.

In the dense bamboo forest, there is no sunlight at all.

As soon as the boy stepped into the bamboo forest, the birds in the forest suddenly flew up.

"Goo!"

"Chirp!"

A frightened scream.

The boy looked up sharply, looked at the bird that flew away in an instant, and did not have any doubts.

Living naturally in the mountains, we have long been accustomed to this phenomenon.

The cellar was deep in the bamboo forest, and after a slight pause, the boy continued to move forward in the dark.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is an open field with a few stones.

Beneath the stone cover was the place where the boy's father hid his wine.

The boy recalled that he had only visited this place once with his father ten years ago, and that he would not have dared to come on his own without his father's permission.

But today, ten years later, he has received his father's permission.

These aged brews are sure to be present at tomorrow's wedding feast to the delight of several of the village's alcoholic elders.

The young man looked happy and hurriedly removed the stones.

After a short time, the cellar was opened, about five feet deep and one zhang wide, and several jars of aged wine were placed in the square sinkhole.

"One... Two... Three... Eight... Ten!"

Exactly ten altars, the same as when my father buried them ten years ago.

The boy jumped down and handed one altar after another to the ground.

At the last jar, the boy had just picked up the jar.

Suddenly, a turquoise light pierced his eyes.

"Ahh

The young man exclaimed, his face frightened, and the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

The wine jar turned into a pile of rubble, and the ten-year-old wine disappeared into the ground in an instant.

"What the hell?"

The young man's face was full of horror, and he secretly said in his heart.

Xu Ma!

The boy froze, staring intently at the turquoise light emanating from the ground.

"What the hell?"

The young man's mind was fluttering, but he didn't dare to act easily.

"Whew!"

Finally unable to hold back his curiosity, the boy exhaled heavily.

Slowly squatting down, the young man looked vigilant, stretched out his hand, and pulled towards the place where the turquoise light was emitted.

After a few tosses, the boy saw a pebble the size of an egg, which was the turquoise light emitted by this pebble.

"Huh?"

"It's a beautiful stone!"

The young man looked at the pebbles with a clear texture, like a piece of superb jade, much like what he saw in the town, the jewelry sold in the jade workshop, made of jade jewelry and the stone material is similar.

"It's really a good piece of jade, if it is made into jewelry, she will definitely like it if it is given to Yan'er. ”

The young man's face showed joy, but he thought that he would give this piece of jade to Yan'er tomorrow at the wedding, as a witness to his love for Yan'er.

Thinking about it, the young man made up his mind, and reached out to grab the pebbles that emitted a turquoise light.

Just as the boy's hand grabbed the pebble, suddenly, the pebble in his hand disappeared.

"Ahh

The boy suddenly let out a scream, and the sound shook the sky.

Several people who were helping to celebrate in the courtyard east of the village suddenly heard a miserable roar from the back mountain, and all of them looked frightened, and they all looked in the direction of the back mountain.

A woman felt the voice... Stunned, his heart tightened, and he shouted urgently at the middle-aged man.

"Tianba, it won't be Xiao'er!"

Under the reminder of his wife, the stunned middle-aged man suddenly turned around and rushed back to the house, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed out with a knife in his hand.

"Brother Tianba, I'll go with you. ”

Seeing Ling Tianba rushing out of the courtyard, dozens of young and strong men in the courtyard followed closely out.

"Tianyun, be careful!"

A strong man had just left the gate of the courtyard, turned back to the dozens of women in the courtyard and said, "I know, you just stay here, don't go anywhere!"

After speaking, the strong man quickly followed.

"Brother Tianba, there are no evil beasts in the back mountains, and there should be no major incident in Xiao'er. ”

"Uncle, Brother Xiao is in the late stage of building strength...!"

Ling Tianba's face was worried, but his pace was getting faster and faster.

There were dozens of people behind him, their faces were sad, and they were very worried about Ling Xiao's safety.

After all, tomorrow, Ling Xiao and Mu Yunyan will be married, and now that Ling Xiao has an accident, isn't Mu Yunyan going to become a widow?

Moment!

In front of the bamboo forest in the back mountain, Ling Tianba, the leader, frowned, and looked at the dark bamboo forest with a pair of cold eyes.

He was not in a hurry to lead many villagers into the bamboo forest, fearing that there were fierce beasts hidden in the forest, even if he wanted to save his son, he could not neglect the lives of the villagers.

Seeing that he couldn't stay a little at this time, if he delayed the opportunity any longer, maybe Ling Xiao would really become the food in the belly of the fierce beast.

"Brother Tianba, what do you have in mind?"

Ling Tianyun asked towards Ling Tianba.

"Cut down the bamboo forest!"

Ling Tianba sighed.

"Folks, cut down the bamboo forest!"

Ling Tianyun turned around and shouted towards everyone.

Everyone was suspicious and walked towards the edge of the bamboo forest.

A palm slash is as sharp as a sword.

"Bang!"

The bamboos broke halfway through their waists and fell to the side in unison.

If you follow this route, you may not be able to enter the depths of the bamboo forest at sunset.

Suddenly, Ling Tianba's eyes were slightly red, and he was holding a sharp meniscus knife, one knife was faster than another, and the sharp knife edge quickly landed on a few bamboos.

"Xiao'er, you must wait for your father to come!"
