Shuozhou region is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, there are many fierce beasts in the depths of the mountains and forests, ordinary people and villages under the mountains who collect firewood and burn charcoal do not dare to go to the depths of the jungle.

Because their ancestors have left them a painful lesson at the cost of blood from generation to generation.

There is a mountain range in the south of Shuozhou, the mountain range is undulating and undulating, like a lying winding and undulating dragon, and there are two majestic waterfalls hanging on the highest peak at the beginning of the mountains, rushing straight down a huge spring pool at the foot of the mountain, from the spring pool and diverging out two clear and gurgling streams, one south and one north, quietly flowing into the distance.

Irrigation nourishes the land along the way.

This mountain with a waterfall flowing down is called Longshou Mountain, and the entire rolling mountain range is called Wolong Mountain Range. The spring pool at the bottom is Wolong Pond. The South Longxu Creek, which nourishes and irrigates them, and the North Longxu Creek, both have this source and diverge.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain, called Wolong Village, which is said to be related to the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, they have been multiplying and cultivating at the foot of Longshou Mountain for generations, and the village households are mostly simple and kind.

Wolong Village is located in the middle of nowhere, and in the deep mountains, like a paradise, no soldiers, no harsh taxes, and as their only survival on the feelings of Wolong Lake is naturally incomparable.

Their feelings for this spring pool are awe and love, there are one hundred and twenty-one households in Wolong Village, and most of the village households are surnamed Kong, they are the most primitive residents of Wolong Village, and there is only this water source within a radius of dozens of miles......

In order to protect the water source so that their descendants can live for a long time, their ancestors set up an ancestral precept, and rowed Longtan as a forbidden place for the descendants of the Kong family...... Water must be drawn from two streams.

Wolong Pond is sacred in their eyes, and the holy ones do not allow anyone to defile and destroy him.

But yesterday at dawn, the industrious and simple Han Niuzi got up in the morning and prepared to go to the mountain to cut some dead tree branches, in the cold season, not only to make a fire to make food but also to burn a fire to keep warm, in the spring and summer to cut two loads of 100 pounds of firewood at a time, he himself can use it for a long time, but in winter it is not good, often not burned.

You have to chop more firewood before the heavy snow closes the mountain, the orphans and widows of Sister Xing's family have no labor, and the firewood will not be enough in winter, and Sister Xing's grandmother has promised Sister Xing to marry her, it doesn't matter if she is freezing, you can't bend them.

But when he went up the mountain along the path that was familiar with the potholes, he found a black shadow floating in Tan, and the sky was still bright at that time, Han Niuzi thought that he had seen it wrong, and rubbed his eyes that were still swollen.

I thought I didn't fall asleep all night because of the excitement of the successful proposal last night, and I got up early, thinking I was dazzled?

Hurriedly trotted all the way around the ridge of the field full of pear and apricot fruit trees, trotted closer to see, ran to the fine rocky beach on the shore of Wolong Pond, only to find that he did not see the dazzle, although the early morning pool water floated hazy water vapor solemn, but he stared at the eyes wide and carefully to see that there was really something floating on the pond water.

It's not dazzling!

Is this worth it? He was not from this village since he was a child, but when Ah Weng took him in to go hunting in the mountains, he met him who was lost in the mountains, he was too young at that time to remember anything, and he didn't know why he got lost in the mountains.

But Ah Weng went into the mountains to hunt in that cold winter but guessed that he didn't come back, if it weren't for the help of the villagers and neighbors in the village, how could he have survived to this day?

And he will marry Sister Xing in the village on New Year's Day, and he will be a real person from Wolong Village at that time.

Although he has long regarded himself as a person from Wolong Village, a few little brothers who are the same age as him have been squeezing him out, and he has been talking about things that he picked up, and he has used this matter as an excuse to obstruct his good things with Sister Xing'er, but it doesn't matter, he doesn't hold grudges...

Han Niuzi, who has long regarded himself as a member of Wolong Village, has long remembered the ancestral teachings of Wolong Village, and how can he be indifferent to the foreign objects in the holy Wolong Pond.

I anxiously looked around to find a long branch or tree trunk or something, and poked out the hook that floated there, but there was nothing on the beach around me.

Suddenly, I saw the black shadow in Tan Zhong flip and make a splash, followed by a violent struggle, which stirred up the shock waves, and vaguely seemed to hear the voice of someone in Tan Zhong who was weak and calling for help.

"Help..... Help me..... Grunt... Uncut jade... Save..."

Is it human?

Han Niuzi was stunned, honest and kind, he gritted his teeth in a hurry, and couldn't care about the ancestral training of the bear village, and threw aside the burden and firewood knife in his hand and a small burden hanging on the coarse cloth belt, which contained a few coarse noodles and pancakes that he was going to eat lunch in the mountains today, and were submerged in the beach water.

A fierce man threw himself into the water, and a moment later pulled the black shadow crying for help back to the shore from Tanzhong.

No! It should be two, at first the water vapor was too big and he didn't really feel it, in fact, it was two people!

Until the two of them were dragged to the shore, Han Niuzi, who had just come to his senses, panicked again, and the person who desperately called for help was thin but with thin skin and tender flesh and looked better than Sister Xing'er, and he just coughed heartbreakingly on the side, choking in the spring water for a while, coughing with a red face and thick green tendons bursting out.

And the other person he held in his arms and didn't let go was pure and purple, his face was like white paper, and he was covered in blood. The dyed pool water was red, and these foolish cows were instantly frightened and at a loss.

This is a forbidden place in the village! How would it be nice to make it like this..... This man has shed so much blood, will he be fine......

After a while, the coughing young man reacted and roared like crazy: "Go find Xiao Gannon!" Fast! ”

"Shaw Gannon?" Han Niuzi was stunned... Who's that?

The roaring young man was also stunned, looking around, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he instantly shouted soberly: "That's not right! Not Xiao Gannon! It's a doctor! How can there be a doctor! Take me there! .......”

Doctor?

"We don't have a doctor in our village... But our patriarch knows how to know herbs... Boiling medicine... The villagers in the village are all cured by the patriarch for a little disaster and minor illness..."Han Niuzi has never seen anyone so fierce, and he was scared... Stammered.

"Lead the way!" I don't know where this thin young man got the strength, and he followed closely behind him in his arms, which seemed to be similar to his body but extremely strong.

Two days have passed, Wolong Village is still as peaceful and peaceful as before, the sky is still blue, the water of Wolong Lake has also changed back to clear and thorough, and the two Wolong Creeks outside the village are still gurgling and running into the distance......

Everything is the same in Wolong Village, except for Han Niuzi's house, there are two more guests of unknown origin.

Han Niuzi's house is in the easternmost part of the village, and it is also the closest family in the village to Wolongtan.

A small courtyard of three thatched and rammed earth houses, enclosed by a fence, with a chicken coop made of rattan and dead wood on the left and a simple house made of a few logs on the right. In the middle of the courtyard is an old locust tree that is already bare, and there is a black tree hole more than a foot wide at the root of the locust tree......

A common yellow dog in the countryside has been drooping and old, under the eaves of thatched growth, there are the following wagging tails, basking in the rare warm sun at noon.

A few old hens, whose wings and backs had begun to shed their hair, were clucking and eating in the damp mud, and from time to time a few insects that had frozen stiff and did not know whether they were dead or alive were turned out of the mud.

Han Niuzi was boiling the herbs he had begged from the patriarch on the low stove under the old locust tree in his yard, the smell was very bad, and there was not much firewood piled up next to the low stove.

And last night there was a sporadic light rain, the water vapor brought by the firewood was too heavy, from time to time there were sparks and simmering sounds from the low stove, it had been boiling for two hours, the black and worn-out lid of the medicine jar was pushed upwards by the gurgling heat inside, and from time to time there was a bumping sound with the jar... According to the patriarch's orders, it should be about the same...

Han Niuzi carefully poured the decoction that he had patiently boiled for two hours on the only bowl with a pattern in his house, holding each step in his hands and slowing down his pace for fear of being spilled......

Han Niuzi carefully opened the clean door curtain that had just been slurred and exuded the fragrance of soaphorn not long ago, this room was originally his bedroom, and the things in it were all added not long ago, a new wooden square table, three stools, a chair, and a wooden basin with a new hoop, which he used two robes, three hares, and several animal skins, like He Shuyang in the west of the village......

Two new coarse cloth quilts, with two big characters embroidered on both sides of the front and back, which are embroidered by Sister Xing'er herself, ready for them to get married......

This room was also used by the candles in the cave when he was preparing to get married, but now he lives in another couple first...

However, he doesn't mind being simple and kind by nature, Wolong Village is located in a remote area, it is rare for outsiders to come, since there are guests coming, they must use their best things to entertain.

Han Niuzi carefully held the decoction, and tried his best to pinch his rough throat and scream softly.

"Wei Gongzi! Wei Gongzi! Wake up! The decoction is boiled, hurry up and let your wife drink it, our patriarch must be very spiritual, your wife will definitely be fine soon after drinking it! ”

The young man, known as Wei Gongzi, was lying on the side of the kang and closed his eyes, and when he heard Han Niuzi's voice, he opened his bloodshot eyes tiredly.

A smile squeezed out of his tired and unpleasant face, "Thank you, Brother Han, how many times have you said it, don't call me Gongzi, just call me Wei Xiao." ”

"That's not going to work! Our sister Xing'er said it! Wei Gongzi looks like a noble person from a big family, so he can't scream indiscriminately... I'm afraid that I don't know much about the abrupt nobles, anyway, it's always right to listen to Sister Xing'er..."Han Niuzi smiled, holding the decoction with one hand and scratching the back of his head embarrassedly with the other.

Wei Gongzi smiled tiredly, took the decoction with both hands, slowly moved his stiff and numb body to the ground, sat on the edge of the kang, and called his wife gently......

"Ah Ye? Ah Ye? Wake up? The decoction is ready... Wake up... Come I'll serve you to sit up, you slow down... Be careful... Don't break the wound..."

Han Niuzi watched Wei Gongzi help his lady up little by little and lean into his arms, his lady lay in his arms in a daze, and gently moved her head left and right weakly... Don't drink... Dodging the pungent smell of the decoction.

The voice is very weak, hoarse, neutral, and a little rough, not as soft and pleasant as Sister Xing'er......

And Han Niuzi always thinks that the lady lying there should be her husband, and this thin-skinned and tender Wei Gongzi should be a lady... Because he always felt that Wei Gongzi's lady was more manly, although he was lying on the kang softly, the heroic spirit between his eyebrows was more like a man than Wei Gongzi's white and tender......

"Don't make a fuss! How can you get better if you don't drink medicine if you are so badly injured? Come on, good... I'll feed you..."

Wei Gongzi gently blew it with a spoon, and then gently sipped it himself and tested the temperature before handing it to his wife's lips.

“... I don't drink..."

The voice is still weak, but it has a little weight, unlike the light fluttering and powerless just now...

"How can you do it without drinking... How can your injuries be healed without drinking? ”

“... I don't drink decoctions..."

Wei Gongzi's lady opened her worried eyes, and she still had the strength to push away the spoon that was handed to her lips... Then the hand that pushed the spoon away fell heavily...

"How can you do it without drinking? You have to drink..."

When Wei Gongzi persuaded his wife to drink the medicine, a gentle and soft female voice came from the courtyard.

"Brother Niu... Brother Niu... Are you there? The concubine is bringing you lunch..."

"It's Sister Xing'er!" Han Niuzi looked excited and said to Wei Gongzi.

"Wei Gongzi! It's Sister Xing'er who brought us food, I'll pick it up, it's outside, you call me if there's something! Han Niuzi rushed out of the house and stepped out of the house with one foot, suddenly turned around and patted his head, and said in annoyance: "Look at me, this fool! The patriarch said, your wife should drink this decoction while it is hot, otherwise the effect of the medicine will not be effective! ”

Bai Ye, who had been lying in a coma for two days, was in a mess, and he was puzzled when he heard the words of Wei Gongzi and Madame.

Once again, he turned his head away from the pungent decoction, looked up weakly at the haggard and tired face above his head and asked, "... Wei Gongzi? The guy just now... Why is it called... Are you Wei Gongzi? And also... Madam... Who is your wife? What about the two Assassins...... Where is this...."

Wei Gongzi gently took the spoon and refilled it, put it to his mouth to test the temperature, and then handed it to Bai Ye's mouth.

"Drink the medicine first!" Xia Zongxiao, who was carried by Han Niu to Wei Gongzi, also had a hoarse voice, and his eyes were bloodshot and tired.

Bai Ye looked at this haggard and tired face, she originally regarded the decoction as poison, but she unconsciously slowly opened her dry lips, spoonful by spoonful, although her brows were furrowed, her face was painful, but she still drank the decoction without saying a word.

Watching Bai Ye obediently finish drinking the decoction, Xia Zongxiao's worried and tired face finally showed a heartfelt smile.

Gently wiped the medicinal juice left at the corner of Bai Ye's mouth with the rough and old but very clean sleeves, and then Bai Ye realized that he was lying in Xia Zongxiao's arms, a man's arms......

An unprecedented feeling emerged from the bottom of her heart, steady? Warm? Peace? Just relax? Sentimentally attached......

Xia Zongxiao clasped his hands together and hugged her and said softly: "You are my wife!" Is there a second woman in this room? ”
