The mountain breeze is gentle and soothing.

A little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows and creamy skin, walked alone on the quiet forest path, listening to the sound of birds singing in the mountain stream and rabbits walking on the moss, and the wrinkles between the moth's eyebrows finally calmed down.

The girl's name is Ren Xiu'er and she was born in Wuyuan, Bingzhou. She is naturally beautiful, and she has attracted a lot of attention when she urinates - admiration, jealousy, envy, covetousness, and even the Vaco matchmaker who pulls the matchmaker regardless of the young age of her boss has repeatedly come to the door. Even when she fled with her family to another state or county, the eyes of good or bad never moved from her.

The boundaries of the girl's territory belong to Yanzhou, Jiyin County, Juancheng County, and Lize Township, and are named after the Lei Ze of "Huaxu's Footprints and Fuxi" in the territory. The hill at the foot is called Baihu Mountain, which is not more than dozens of zhang high, but it stretches very widely. The dense forests and grasses on it nourished countless animals and birds, and also provided "rations" for the nearby villagers.

Ren Xiu'er, who is depressed, lives in "Linzeli" at the foot of Baihu Mountain.

This Linzeli, among more than a dozen Luli in Leize Township, is one of the best in terms of the number of residents and fame.

Li Zheng here, surnamed Du Mingzhong, is forty years old and can serve the public. He once served as a wanderer in the township, and later because he was unwilling to drive for the wealthy family, he was returned to Liyi with a seal. Later, he couldn't shirk the recommendation of his father and accepted the position of Lizheng.

The trouble between the girl's eyebrows comes from Du Peng, the youngest son of Lizheng Du Zhong.

Du Peng, who is about to have a weak crown, is naturally strong and can open two stone bows at the age of ten. At the age of twelve, his father hunted in the mountains and forests, shot tigers and wolves, and his martial arts were widely spread in the townships and counties, and the good deeds listed him as one of the "Three Governors of Juanyi", which was highly praised. Three years ago, when Du Peng saw the Ren family who had left their hometown and fallen here, he promised Ren Xiuer to be a celestial, and then entangled in all kinds of ways.

However, although the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless. This Du Peng may be a good choice in the eyes of others as a "wishful and reliable gentleman"; But for Ren Xiu'er, she really can't arouse the slightest interest.

Maybe it's because she has been living with her parents since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of hardships and deaths; Or maybe it's a heroic dream that every young girl will have in her heart. What Ren Xiuer likes is the kind of hero who "can govern the country and calm the troubled times, and can drive away and kill thieves to protect the homeland". It's not a reckless man like Du Peng, who doesn't know anything and has no ambitions.

Of course, this idea has always been buried deep in her heart and has never resorted to outsiders. Even his father, Ren Ang, didn't know that his daughter had an almost ridiculous heroic dream.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the dream is, there are times when the pillow is cold.

A few days ago, Ren Ang went up the mountain to chop wood, accidentally stepped on a slippery rock, and broke his legs. Although it has been treated with orthopedic treatment and will not be disabled, it still needs to be cultivated for a month or two.

Ren's family has three people, and only Ren Ang is a Ding man. As soon as he did farm work, all his illness fell on Ren Xiu'er's mother and daughter. In addition, the family's savings have been spent on Ren Ang's medical treatment. On the premise of cutting off economic sources such as wood, fishing, and hunting, the family's food and clothing cannot be maintained.

At this time, Du Zhong and his son Du Peng came to the door.

Du Zhong did not talk about marriage, but only said that "the people of Tongli should 'go in and out of each other's friends, and support each other in sickness'." Then he left a stone of corn and dragged Du Peng, who was reluctant to leave.

Although Du Zhong's intention has not been clearly stated, it has also been put on the surface - to exchange Xiu'er's marriage for the livelihood of the Ren family.

The Ren family has since fallen into silence.

The father, who was sick, lay in the corner, speechless; The mother, who has a weak temperament, wiped her tears vigorously. Ren Xiu'er really couldn't stand such an atmosphere, so she found an excuse and ran to Baihu Mountain to relax.

"Hate not to be born as a man......" The little girl sat under the tree, holding her slightly pointed chin in one hand and pulling the grass in the other, thinking messily.

If you are born as a man, you will not have so many entanglements of right and wrong; If she is born as a boy, she can be the pillar of the family and help her parents. Where will you be so entangled in troubles as you are now.

was feeling sorry for herself, Ren Xiu'er suddenly felt that the light in front of her was dim, and she couldn't help but raise her little head.

What caught my eye was a little boy who was more than four feet long, with red lips and white teeth, and a pleasant face, without the dishes on the faces of the mud babies in the mountains and countryside.

It's just that on the White Tiger Mountain, where the trees are high and the grass is deep, a little doll suddenly turned out of pink carving, without relatives and elders as companions, let alone three or five families. Just such a lonely, pink little guy appeared on the hill surrounded by tigers and wolves. In this meeting, the little girl who was a little precocious in her mind felt a little weird no matter how she thought about it.

Isn't it the "mountain spirit" that Elder Lizhong often says?

But it doesn't look like it!

Doesn't it mean that those spirits are all "big waists and ten girths, broad shoulders and three stops", or "big mouths of blood basins and bull's eyes"?

Or are the spirits of the mountains barbaric when they are young...... Cute?

……

"Hey, chick." "Pretty cute mountain elves" suddenly spoke.

"Ah, what?" Perhaps because the little guy's innocent and cute appearance was really harmless, although the little girl was startled, she did not panic and fear.

"What time is it, and what is the boundary here?"

Years? Boundary? Could this be a "juvenile spirit" who has just walked out of the cave and does not yet know the world?

Ren Xiu'er, who was full of strange cognitions, thought so in her heart, but said in her mouth: "It was the sixth year of Guanghe, and this place was Yanzhou, Jiyin County, Juancheng County, Leize Township, and Baihu Mountain. I don't know what Xiaofujun wants? ”

In the Han Dynasty, in addition to being used as the title of the county prince, "Fujun" was often used to call ghosts and spirits.

"Yanzhou Jiyin County? Juancheng County? Light and six years? I saw the little elf on the opposite side rolling his eyes, looking unbearable, "Could it be that Emperor Han Ling was in power for 183 years, dizzy!" ”

"God, just kidding, you can't just throw us to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty just because we like to play "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", ......

"Okay, let's cross, let's cross, so I can give some benefits! Even if you don't give a cheat, you can get a good age and a great body or something......"

"Seeing that the Yellow Turban Uprising is about to happen, look at our small body, look at our young age, how can we turn over the wall of Zhang's house to see the Taoyuan Three Knots, how can the tiger body shock and subdue the red two, black three, yellow-faced Dian Wei, and white-faced dragon ......"

"The most important thing is that when we 'grow up', will Diao Chan and Big Joe have already warmed the quilt at that time......"

"Bang Bang ......"

This milky and innocent little elf only uses a circle of leaves to form a crotch, wrapping a little fart and a baby elephant's trunk. Bai Shengsheng's arms and legs, slippery little belly, all exposed, how cute it looks. It's just the broken thoughts in the mouth of the "little elf", but Ren Xiu'er didn't understand it, and she couldn't interject, which made her look at the other party a little inexplicably.

After most of the day, the little elf finally stopped nagging and said in a tone of "all thoughts are lost, so I have to accept it": "That's it, let's take one step at a time, right?" Oh, by the way, what's your chick's name? ”

"Ren Xiu'er."

"This is Juancheng County, Jiyin County?"

"Hmm."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms, all parties fought heroically. Juancheng is a battleground for the soldiers of the Central Plains. Before 220, it belonged to Jiyin County, and then it was assigned to Dongjun. If you want to talk about the celebrities of Jiyin County, Yan Xiaoyi really doesn't remember, but Dongjun knows the two.

"Does Cheng Yu know?"

"I don't know."

"Does Chen Gong know?"

"I don't know."

"Depressed, who do you know?"

"Ren Ang."

"Who is Ren Ang?"

"Father."

“……”

"What's your name, little elf?"

"I'm not a goblin, I'm the king of the mountain! Yan Xiao Yi Yan King! The "little elf" straightened up his face and pretended to have a fierce expression, but it made the little girl laugh.

“……”

During the "heated conversation" between the two, time slipped away silently, and before they knew it, the time had come.

Smoke curls from the village at the foot of the mountain, and after a while, the sound of shouting "Xiu'er" also reaches the mountain.

"I have to go, my grandmother told me to eat." The little girl smiled apologetically, turned to meet the shouts at the bottom of the mountain, and left. There was a sentence that came from afar, "See you later, little king!" ”

A certain little elf hanging on the mountain, only then suddenly remembered that the ancients only ate two meals a day - morning food and feeding. And look at the present, the valley of sorrow is the time to feed.

So, on Baihu Mountain, a little boy with green leaves and white buttocks started to stay bored.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At the foot of the mountain, in Linzeli, Ren's family.

Ren Ang looked at his daughter's gentle face, which was completely different from the disappointment, resistance, and frustration at noon, and he was a little unpredictable about his child's thoughts, so he asked casually, but he didn't expect Ren Xiu'er to talk endlessly about "encountering spirits in the mountains" as if she had opened the conversation.

The little girl Ren vividly talked about the strangeness of the "young elf", but she didn't notice the gradually white faces of the Ren couple.

"That's enough, Xiu'er!" Ren Ang's face sank like water, and he said, "You are not allowed to go to the mountain in the future." ”

During the Han Dynasty, the legend of ghosts and spirits was very loud, although there was Wang Chong's "Ordering Ghosts", but it did not help the fear of ghosts and gods in the countryside. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, government decrees were blocked, people's livelihood withered, and the theory of ghosts and gods was even more prevalent. Such as "Hu Muban met Taishan Mansion Jun, and all the sons died", which was widely spread.

Ren Ang naturally didn't want his family of three to suffer a tragedy like Hu's mother's class, so he could only reprimand Xiu'er and let her avoid the "little elf".

Ren Xiu'er was about to say something, but she was reprimanded by her father, and she was about to defend a few words, but her mother pulled her sleeve, paused, and then she didn't say anything anymore, and knelt quietly on the edge of the dining table.

After the meal, Ren Ang remembered what his daughter said about "meeting spirits in the mountains", and he couldn't help but feel panicked, tossing and turning on the couch, and finally called his wife and daughter over and ordered him to take a wooden plank. Cut the size, engrave the "position of the king of the White Tiger Mountain Yan" with a knife, and install the base.

Then this wooden plaque is placed on the table on the side of the hall, next to the "Position of the Seventh Ancestor of the Ren Family" and "The Position of the Heavenly God Taiyi", and the family of three kneels before settling down.

The tablet was originally a wooden tablet that recorded the rank and name of the deceased in Confucianism. After the Song and Yuan dynasties, it was advocated by the Buddhists and used to worship clan relatives and sacred Taoist Buddhas. There is no such practice in Han fashion.

It's just that the Ren family was exiled from other places, and for Linzeli, they belong to people with foreign surnames who have no money and no power. The ancestral hall of the clan cannot be built, and there is no spare money to fund the Spring and Autumn Festival and the Wuri sacrifice in the township. Therefore, I can only engrave a few wooden plaques in such a simple way to express my sincerity to "Taiyi" and not forgetting my ancestors.

Now, there's one more piece.

And while the Ren family of three was busy working, on Baihu Mountain, a certain "little elf" suddenly heard a few sounds in his ears-

"Heroes of the Three Kingdoms VII. Wheel Draw System Activation ......"

"Belief System Activates ......"

"Host Scanning ......"

"Template Searching ......"

"Congratulations to the host Yan Xiaoyi, you have won the [Immortal Dao Template] ×1, [Big Wheel Lottery] ×1."
