Dawn is a precursor to hope and the beginning of life!

At dawn, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the rainstorm weather that has been several days in a row makes people feel depressed, and finally ushered in a little respite, especially for this small village at the southern foot of Taiyun Mountain in the Eastern Regions, such a life that does not see the light of day is about to pass, everyone walks out of the house, cheers and jumps in the dim wet and cold weather, splashes a little muddy water on the face, without the slightest unpleasantness, but enjoys this fresh world after the rain more.

This is a small village that has not been clearly recorded by the official, the folk customs are simple, you can only rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, watch the sky to eat, the village people are surnamed Lin, the big surname in the village, and the surname Mu is only one household, living together but not chaotic, peaceful and peaceful.

On a small hill that must be passed into the mountain, the young Xiaolang insisted on it rain or shine, got rid of the thin and weak physique since childhood, and became much stronger, he was slowly walking towards the tribe, although the road was muddy and difficult to walk, and the straw sandals were more muddy, but it did not affect its pace at all.

Look at him again with a scarf in his hair, wearing a hat, his face is red and his teeth are white, he is dressed in a short dress, he has a long bow on his back, the back of the bow is very wide, a three-legged golden crow is engraved on it, the bow body is dark and bright, a few feather arrows are inserted obliquely, bronze arrow clusters, shining, and a short knife is pinned to the waist, rusty, blunt and unfavorable. Although he is not as weak as the crown, he is full of vitality, and his eyes are full of light, and no one can imagine that in just a few years, he has changed so much.

Everyone's growth is inseparable from the surrounding environment, inseparable from the teaching of parents, when these factors can not satisfy you, you can only rely on yourself.

Mu San is like this, his mother has never seen it, he only left himself a talisman, and his father went up the mountain ten years ago and never came back, such an environment made him more self-reliant and self-reliant.

Suddenly, a figure shook beside the rocks not far ahead, he stopped, looked around, and continued to walk forward quietly, but the longbow on his back was already in his hand at some point.

After taking a few steps forward, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and habitually touched his nose, which was his habit for a long time.

The grass that didn't have time to be buried, the crater of the gravel placed indiscriminately, Mu San saw the flaws in it at a glance, and he had already roughly guessed who put the trap in his heart.

Needless to say, it must be those who are in the clan again.

For as long as he can remember, many people in the clan have sneered at him, even punched and kicked him, and his kind character, coupled with the kindness of his elders, made him hate him.

He has also been unsociable since he was a child, and when children of the same age scolded him as a "wild child" and "stupid boy", he never resisted, but silently worked harder to make himself stronger and stronger.

can persevere, not in the name of faith, just because he knows what to do, this small mountain village that raised him, left him with more beauty.

Mu San guessed right, there were several young people in the clan lying on their stomachs behind the rocks.

One of the chubby is the leader, named A Biao, his father is an elder in the village, the village chief is of the same clan, quite prestigious, and he is also pampered to his son, arrogant and unreasonable, and his nature is not bad, this kid is also an infatuated species, and he only likes Lin Rou, the daughter of the village chief Lin Tai, yesterday he saw Lin Rou and he said a few words with him, and his heart was full of jealousy, and today he wants to teach him a lesson here.

Of course, this is also when Lin Rou's brother Lin Wei went into the mountains to hunt, Lin Wei's temper is not something he can resist if he is ruthless.

At this moment, he was quietly waiting for Kizo to fall into the trap he had carefully arranged.

Mu San was also destined not to let the other party wait too long, slowly walked to a foot trap, deliberately pretended to accidentally step on it, stumbled and fell forward.

Before he fell to the ground, a burst of laughter came, and Ah Biao jumped out first:

"Silly boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time, where are you running now?"

A group of followers behind him also rushed out and cheered.

"Brother Biao's trap is invincible in the world, and even the Tiger King can't escape, let alone Mu San's stupid boy."

"Brother Biao is mighty, only Brother Biao can be worthy of Lin Rou's red face."

These words really spoke to his heart, and he was even more overjoyed, and suddenly felt arrogant.

Mu San lay on the ground, trying not to let himself laugh, although they were both weak, but the psychological gap between them was still quite large.

Everyone waited for a while, and when they saw him motionless, they were a little panicked, after all, they were in the same village, and it would be a big trouble to kill someone.

And although Mu San will not take the initiative to sue, every time Lin Wei returns from the mountain, if he finds that Mu San has been bullied, whether they are or not, they will inevitably be punched and kicked, so they don't dare to go too far every time, which is also the reason why Mu San will not hold a grudge.

"You go and see,"

Let a slightly more clever boy go and investigate.

"Brother Biao, this stupid boy was just stunned."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"We'll teach him a lesson next time."

Ah Biao was also a little disinterested at this time, and everyone dispersed.

In the palace and temple of worship in the village, Lin Tai frowned, looked at the heavy rain outside the house, secretly lost his mind, and sighed:

"I didn't expect this rain to fall for so many days, Wei'er and they should have come back from the mountain, and I don't know what happened?"

Everyone couldn't help but be silent, silently praying to the great god of the golden crow.

In the center of the palace temple stands a three-legged golden crow stone statue about three zhang high, this is the god they worship, it is said that there are ancestors who have been saved by the three-legged golden crow, the time is long, who can say clearly?

"Look, that seems to be a stupid boy Mu San, why did he come here?"

Everyone looked up in unison, and a young man in the distance ran quickly towards this side, splashing patches of water.

Ran to the gate of the palace and temple, and bowed to the people in the house:

"The village chief is good, the clan elders are good."

Lin Tai nodded:

"Little San'er, why are you here?"

"Brother Lin, they have been hunting in the mountains for a few days and haven't come back, I'm here to find out some news."

Everyone was silent and sighed.

Mu San raised his head and looked at the patriarch Lin Tai with resolute eyes:

"They must have been trapped by the flash flood, I will go and find them, and ask the village chief to complete them."

After speaking, he nodded heavily.

At this time, everyone began to talk about it:

"The rain is too heavy, and the mountain road is even more difficult, and the Golden Crow God will definitely protect Lin Wei and them."

"Mu San, you are still too young, the jungle is inexperienced, don't take risks, wait."

There were also voices of disdain,

"Just you? It's a bit too self-conscious. ”

Mu San has a stubborn personality, and he will not change his mind again, and his stubborn look is very similar to the one who did not hesitate at the beginning...

"Although I am stupid, I have also entered the mountains with Willy Lin once, and I know where they often go."

"I also know that the elders are worried about my comfort, but I am a child of the Golden Crow God, a natural warrior, and I will definitely find Lin Weige."

Patriarch Lin Tai looked at him with a little relief, was silent for a while, and stepped forward,

"Mu San, come with me."

Everyone was a little surprised, this is an act of overstepping etiquette, the village chief usually puts etiquette first, and today's performance is so abnormal? How can a person with a foreign surname enter the temple?

Lin Tai had already decided, and regardless of anything else, he turned around and walked to the stone statue in the center of the palace and temple, and everyone did not dare to talk about it anymore.

Mu San took off his bow and arrow and short sword, and followed him into the temple step by step.

Seeing Lin Tai walk to the golden crow statue and bow down:

"The Great God of the Golden Crow, nourish all things, protect the people, and Buze lives."

Nine bows and kowtows, everyone stands solemnly and respectfully.

"Kneel,"

This is the first time that Mu San has officially bowed to the great god of Jinwu, so his expression is dignified and extremely pious, and he knelt on the ground, and everyone knelt.

"The great god of the golden crow is above, and now there is a son Lang Musan, although his parents died early, he is protected by the great god, and he is determined to be self-reliant, and I hope that he will successfully find everyone."

"Bye,"

Mu Sansheng bowed his head suddenly.

"Bye-bye,"

"Three bows,"

"Up,"

The people got up and bowed back.

Mu San raised his eyes and looked at the three-legged golden black stone statue, tightened the longbow in his hand, and bowed to the village chief Lin Tai again,

"The village chief..."

Lin Tai raised his hand to interrupt, bowed his head and pondered, for a long time,

"Mu San, you go, remember, Nangou mountains and forests, the terrain is treacherous, there are fierce beasts and red-eyed demon pigs, don't enter."

Kizo nodded and touched his nose.

"I remember, village chief, you... Take care! ”

Thanksgiving, the grace of nurturing dare not forget!

The newborn calf did not know the danger in the forest, so he put the long bow on his back, pinned the short knife, clenched his fists, turned around and ran into the rain, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.

Only Lin Tai was left muttering blankly:

"I don't know if it's right or wrong to let Mu San go up the mountain alone?"

"San'er, don't let me down."

In the attic of a wooden house not far behind the palace, Lin Tai's daughter, the delicate and lovely Lin Rou, was rubbing the small bell in her hand, looking at the place where Mu San disappeared.

The pleasant sound of "Jingle Bell" is very beautiful, I wonder if Brother San'er can hear it?

After a few hours of running in the rain, he was able to reach the southern foot of the mountain, and the excitement of going up the mountain alone for the first time made him not feel tired at all, and he was ready to rest for a moment when he saw a cave in front of him.

Carefully looked around, the geographical location of the cave here is on the high side, the rain does not drip in, it is still relatively dry, suitable for resting.

There is a tall sandalwood tree on both sides of the entrance of the cave, the branches are luxuriant, towering and promoted, standing left and right like two guards, looking at its stoutness, I am afraid that there are no less than hundreds of years of age.

He stepped forward and touched the bark, it was smooth and not rough, as if it had been polished, it should be that wild beasts often moved on the tree.

Looking at the entrance of the cave with weeds, and a creased indentation about a person wide stretching into the depths of the cave, it seems that this place should be a cave of a large serpent.

Mu San praised his observation a little, and heard the elders in the clan say that there is a breeding snake in the southern foot of the mountain pass, which is also called the red snake because of its red body.

This snake is more than a foot thick, has a gentle temperament, will not take the initiative to attack humans, and is still relatively friendly with humans, which is considered an outlier among snakes.

I think this is the cave of the red snake.

He let go of his nervous expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the deep cave, eager to go to the cave to see the appearance of the red snake.

"Forget it, don't cause trouble, find Brother Lin Wei and talk about them first."

I took off my hat, took off my wet shirt, wrung the rain on my clothes, picked off a palm-sized leaf, and took some rain to moisten my throat.

Then he sat on the high ground at the entrance of a cave, closed his eyes and recuperated, where the view was excellent and not easy to be attacked by wild beasts.

This season is at the peak of the rainy season, with occasional downpours, occasional rain, intermittent rain, no one can tell when it will stop, and the most likely to occur is the flash flood.

Therefore, people who go up the mountain will not put themselves in danger, and the higher terrain tends to be safer.

But it is even more difficult to go up the mountain, the mountain is overgrown with shrubs, there are no roads at all in some places, and the mountain roads are slippery, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the mountain stream, which is extremely dangerous.
