Two days later.

After two days of recuperation, Su Jingchen was finally able to get out of bed and walk, although he still stumbled a little when he walked, but there was no big problem, he also planned to pick a good time to go out and have a look today, he had been here for so many days, he hadn't even walked out of that hut, and he could only observe the outside through the gap by the window.

Through that gap, as far as the eye could see, there were only two colors: green and blue.

In fact, he wanted to go out and have a look for a long time, but Youduo kept stopping him, as soon as he proposed it, Youduo would be anxious with him, no way, Su Jingchen had to stay in the house honestly, in the past two days, except for Xie Chao, Uncle Yu and Uncle Fenglei have come to see him, although they are all condolences, but Su Jingchen always feels that Uncle Yu is a little strange, but he can't say it.

Su Jingchen was half lying on the bed, the quilt was only covered to the navel, and the bear skin under him had already been withdrawn, the weather in Yunzhou in June was not for fun, even if it was only covered with a thin layer of sheets, it could sweat hotly.

He sat on the bed in a daze like this, and when Youduo didn't talk to him, he began to think about the people he met in the past, the things he had done, and the things he would do in the future, although he promised Xie Anyuan, but he didn't know how to do that thing.

Let it be, he said to himself in his heart.

Youduo suddenly pushed open the door, she was holding a bowl of steaming chicken soup in her hand, and there were some stewed crispy shredded chicken in it, she smiled softly, slowly walked in front of Su Jingchen, handed the bowl to him, and said, "Brother Su, hurry up, drink it while it's hot, this is the best wild mountain chicken in Yunzhou!" ”

Su Jingchen took it with a wry smile and said, "Didn't you just have lunch?" Why are you bringing me this again? ”

"This hasn't been stewed for lunch yet, so it's time to eat it!" Youduo stared at Su Jingchen so directly, as if he wouldn't leave after drinking the soup.

Su Jingchen had no choice but to raise the bowl to his mouth, blew lightly twice, blew away the heat around him, and then took a small sip, as if it was not chicken soup, but some kind of bitter medicine.

"It smells so good!" Su Jingchen's eyes lit up, as soon as the chicken soup was entered, the freshness and fragrance filled the entire mouth for a while, plus the crispy chicken shreds that seemed to be absent in it, melted in the mouth, and added a lot of color to the soup.

"Delicious, isn't it?" Youduo's eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Su Jingchen nodded lightly, slowly finished the bowl of soup, and then handed the bowl back to Youduo, who went to return the bowl and trotted back to the house, "Let's go, Brother Su, I'll take you to the village for a walk." ”

As soon as the two walked to the door, they ran into Xie Chao, who came to visit the door.

"Yo, this is going out?" Xie Chao asked with a smile.

After staying here for a few days, Xie Chao seemed to regard Fenglei Village as his home, wandering around the village every day, catching insects and playing games with children, watching the samurai archery competition in the village, and then pulling and pulling with women, as soon as the meal arrived, he didn't need to call him, he ran directly to the kitchen by himself, or he was nearby, raising his nose and smelling the west, whose food was fragrant, he would go to whom's house, fortunately, the Miao people were hospitable, plus he was a friend of the distinguished guest, so he was more tolerant and polite to him.

"I'm with you

Let's go together, shall we? Xie Chao smiled and said, "However, will it disturb you?" ”

Youduo's face turned slightly red, but she didn't speak, Su Jingchen smiled bitterly, obviously not noticing Youduo's appearance, "Let's go together, what's the bother?" ”

Xie Chao grinned and continued to laugh, feeling happier in his heart, yes, dare to love me, Brother Su is a seed, I'm afraid I haven't liked the girl yet, "Then I'll go with you?" ”

"Let's go, let's go." Su Jingchen glanced at Xie Chao, not understanding why he was so verbose today, and he had to repeat every sentence several times.

Walking out of the door, Su Jingchen really began to look at this village standing in the middle of Yunzhou.

The village is surrounded by towering giant trees, and as far as the eye can see, there are only blue and green colors in the sky. In the middle of the stockade is a giant tree that Su Jingchen has never seen before, and it is thousands of times larger than all the trees he has seen before. Compared to it, the houses that spiraled up were like small mushrooms popping up from the roots of trees.

"That's the Divine Tree, the priests said that the Divine Tree has existed since the birth of Yunzhou, and there were a total of three Divine Trees in Yunzhou before, and now only this one is left." Youduo explained softly to Su Jingchen.

Xie Chao was not surprised at all, probably he had seen a lot, in fact, when he saw Shenmu for the first time, his mouth could be stuffed with a pear.

Fenglei Village is probably the largest village in the whole Yunzhou, and the houses on the east and west sides are far away, and the distance in the middle is nearly ten miles. Even at noon, there was a faint mist in the stockade, which seemed to be there and nothing, like light smoke. Boardwalks can be found everywhere above the mountainside, and when you reach the bottom of the mountain, there is only a dirt road that has been trampled.

It's a sunny day now, looking at it from afar, you can still see a lot of Miao people on the road, and the doors of those Miao people's houses are painted with five-colored lines, probably similar to the door gods of Zhongzhou, used to protect them from ghosts, insects and snakes.

The lowest walled gate is like the city gate of Huaiyang at a glance, and it is hard to imagine that Yunzhou actually has such a stone city wall. From the Zhaimen to Shenmu, there is a direct avenue, and the avenue is paved with stones, even if it rains, the Miao people can walk on it safely, instead of wading through muddy water.

Every time they met a Miao people, they would wrap their arms around their chests with one hand, bow respectfully to Su Jingchen, and some seemed to have known that Su Jingchen was going out today, they held a few small yellow flowers in their hands, and when Su Jingchen walked by, they put the flowers at their feet with a smile on their faces, and unconsciously, the road under Su Jingchen's feet was inlaid with a piece of gold.

Su Jingchen walked slowly, without letting Youduo or Xie Chao support him, seeing that the Miao people were so enthusiastic, Su Jingchen was also a little overwhelmed, and even wanted to go back directly, but after thinking about it for so many days, he still forcibly suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

"Why did they ...... me? So respectful? Su Jingchen lowered his voice and asked.

Youduo took a small step forward and stood beside Su Jingchen, "Because, you helped us bring back the Wind Thunder Leopard!" The whole stockade knows that you are our hero now! ”

When Youduo said this, she unconsciously changed her address to "you" for Su Jingchen, not only her, but many Miao people on the road deliberately used honorifics when greeting Su Jingchen. In fact, the Miao people do this completely out of their own hearts, and the totem of the wind and thunder village is the wind and thunder leopard.

With the leopard as the prototype of the pillars, stone carvings, and leopard pattern totems that can be seen everywhere, it can be said that the wind and thunder leopard is the god of the wind and thunder village.

At that time, the wind and thunder village was not as big as it is now, and it was not called the wind and thunder village, but it was called the cloud and thunder village, the first owner of the village had a conflict with the people of another big village, a vicious battle, almost all the young men in the village were killed, just when the first owner of the village planned to break the net with those fish, the wind and thunder leopard suddenly appeared, where it went, those poisonous snakes and beasts naturally dispersed, as if, it was their king.

Small kiosk

The remaining more than 100 Miao warriors were bold, wanting to kill the wind thunder leopard, but in the end none of them survived, when the young village owner saw the wind thunder leopard again, its whole body was dyed red, and from that day on, Yunlei Village was renamed Fenglei Village.

The wind thunder leopard stayed in the village for ten years, and suddenly left, ten years, which is enough for the wind and thunder village to become a big village again. The old owner died, and the new owner took office, and when everyone thought that the wind and thunder leopard would not come back, it suddenly came back, but this time, the wind and thunder leopard only stayed for eight years.

Every time the wind and thunder village changes the owner of the village, the wind and thunder leopard will come back once, the longest or shortest, the longest, twelve years, the shortest, only two years, no one knows why they will go, and no one knows why they will come back, the people of the wind and thunder village only know one thing, that is, when the wind and thunder leopard comes back, the village is the strongest.

How did I become your hero? Su Jingchen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked again, "Where did Da Bai and Xiao Bai go?" ”

Da Bai and Xiao Bai are the names that Su Jingchen gave to the two wind and thunder leopards, the big one is called Da Bai, and the small one is called Xiao Bai, which is very appropriate.

"Big white and little white?" Xie Chao and Youduo were stunned at the same time.

"That's it...... Those two wind thunder leopards. Su Jingchen had no choice but to explain.

Youduo covered her mouth and smiled, "Wind Thunder Leopard, the female is called the wind, and the male is called the thunder, but there is no such name as Brother Su." ”

"Really?" Su Jingchen scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, "But I still think Dabai Xiaobai sounds good......"

"The wind has been with the owner of the village for eight years, and left three years ago, people say that how long the wind and thunder leopard stay in the village is to see the quality of a village owner, eight years, the time is not short, and now Brother Su has brought the wind and thunder leopard back, and the people in the village feel that it is a great thing! They see Su Ah Ge as a hero! Youduo's eyes flashed, obviously, she was also very happy, and she didn't even pay attention to repeating what she had just said.

"I just said, the person who asked me to wait must be a capable person! The word hero is a good way to describe you, I will go to the mirage in the future to brag to people, I will definitely tell them that my brother is the one who is favored by the wind and thunder leopard! When they hear this, they may have to kneel down and kowtow to me and call me big brother. Xie Chao laughed loudly, and suddenly reached out and patted Su Jingchen's shoulder vigorously, causing Su Jingchen to cough, Youduo glared at Xie Chao, and stepped aside to separate him from Su Jingchen.

"Oops, sorry, sorry!" Xie Chao clasped his hands together and apologized to Su Jingchen with a hippie smile.

"It's okay," Su Jingchen waved his hand and raised his head to look at the clouds in the sky.

Heroes? I don't know if I deserve this title.
