Fan Chenliang returned to Bixuan Mansion, opened the album he brought back from Shengxuan Mansion, and found that it recorded several things in detail about the seven years of Zu Long's training.

Leisurely breeze, a handsome man alone, dressed in white, with a bamboo cane to open the road, walking in the mountains, suddenly heard a "help" came, listening to the sound like a young child, the man heard the sound and left, came to a cliff, found a **-year-old child fell off the cliff, hugged a small tree on the cliff wall tightly, carried a bamboo basket on his back, desperately called for help. The man hurriedly found a vine in the mountains, rescued the child, and asked, "What's your name?"

The child patted the dust on his body, bowed down and thanked: "My name is Ah Gou, thank you for saving me, I don't know what to call Engong?"

"Just call me Ling An!"

"Thank you Ling An, Gongzi!" Ah Gou thanked again.

"It's okay, by the way, dog, how did you fall off the cliff?"

"Today I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and saw an extremely precious medicinal herb growing on this cliff, so I found a vine, tied it to myself, and then climbed down to pick, who knew that as soon as I finished picking, the vine broke, and I fell down, and happened to fall on the small tree on the cliff. As Ah Gou spoke, he took out the medicinal herbs he had collected from the basket and handed them to Ling An: "Engong, I don't have anything of value to repay you for saving your life, and this medicinal herb will be given to you!"

Ling An glanced at the medicinal herbs in Ah Gou's hand, this is a kind of herb that is effective in the treatment of external injuries, for ordinary people, it is indeed precious, if it is in the medicine shop, it is no problem to change a few hundred times of the source spar.

"No need, this is what you bought with your life, you can keep it for yourself, I didn't save you to ask for your reward. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, it's going to get dark soon, you should go back early!" Ling An didn't stop long, turned around and left.

Walking alone in the mountains for more than half an hour, the sunset gradually set, Ling An was looking for a place to spend the night in the mountains, suddenly a black shadow rushed out, a lone wolf blocked Ling An's way, Ling An took two steps back, with the bamboo cane in his hand to drive away, but the lone wolf was not afraid at all, showing its fangs, and attacked Ling An, Ling An bent and flashed, and the claws of the lone wolf passed by, and ran backwards; , leaving a claw mark on Ling An's left arm, and the wound stained the white robe with blood.

"You brute, are you really playing with me, then don't blame me for being rude!" Ling An looked at the lone wolf, his bamboo cane in his hand clenched tightly, ready to confront the lone wolf head-on. But behind the lone wolf, three short arrows attacked, one of which hit the lone wolf's hind legs, and the remaining two missed and plunged into the ground. The lone wolf howled, turned back, and was nowhere to be seen. Not far from Ling An, the bushes shook, and the figure of Ah Dog came out, grabbed Ling An's hand and ran forward, and whispered in his mouth: "Engong,

Go this way!"

Ling An was shocked, he didn't expect Ah Dog not to go home, but to save him here, but now is not the time to ask these questions, Ling An followed Ah Dog and ran forward, the lone wolf heard the movement, turned around, saw the figure of the two people in the distance, was furious, chased towards the two, about a distance of hundreds of zhang, the lone wolf was about to catch up, Ling An wanted to stop and fight against the lone wolf, but heard Ah Dog say: "Engong, there is a trap set by the village people in front of you, lead it there!"

When Ling An heard this, he secretly admired the wit and bravery of Ah Dog, and was about to reach the trap, the lone wolf caught up, jumped up, and pounced on Ah Dog, Ling An saw this, jumped up, hugged Ah Dog, and escaped the lone wolf attack, the lone wolf pounced into the air, just stepped into the trap, fell into the deep pit, and in the deep pit, it was equipped with some sharp wooden stakes, penetrating the body of the lone wolf, and the lone wolf struggled for a moment and then there was no movement.

"Ah Dog, are you okay?" Ling An picked up Ah Dog who was thrown to the ground by him.

"It's okay, thank you for saving me again!" Ah Gou remembered the scene just now, and was shocked.

"It's almost like I should thank you!" As soon as Ling An finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, knelt on one knee, and almost fainted, three deep bloodstains on his back that were visible to the bones, the blow of the lone wolf just now, Ah Dog dodged it, but he was injured by the claws of the lone wolf.

"Engong, are you okay?" Ah Gou hurriedly supported Ling An, and when he saw the injury on his back, he realized what was going on.

"It's okay, just go back and apply some herbs!"

"By the way, you wait a minute!" Ah Gou remembered the herbs he picked on the cliff today, ran to a clump of weeds not far away, took out the hidden back basket, took out the herb from it, and then found two stones, mashed the herbs, and put them on for Ling An.

Ling An felt a chill at the wound, and the pain decreased a lot, and he got up and quipped: "Such a precious herb, you just used it for me, don't you feel distressed?"

"Engong saved my life, how can a single herb repay it! Now that it is dark, Engong might as well go back with me and heal his wounds first? My house is at the foot of the mountain!"

Ling An thought for a moment, he now had injuries on his back and hands, he was unable to move, and he had not found a suitable place to live, he nodded, and was ready to go back with Ah Gou first, and wait for the injury to get better.

"Great, Engong, then you wait a minute!" Ah Dog found a vine, tied it to a nearby tree, then climbed down the pit, took out a somewhat broken knife, and walked towards the lone wolf.

"Dog, what are you doing here?" Ling An asked puzzled.

"Engong, this wolf meat is a good thing, but one is too heavy, I can't lift it, cut some of its meat back, enough for us to eat for several days!"

A village at the foot of the hill, the lights were dim, Ah Gou took Ling An and walked towards the outside of the village, about three miles away, a dilapidated thatched hut looked very desolate in the moonlight. Ah Gou pushed open the wooden door, ran in, lit the candle, and then helped Ling An in: "Engong, here, the place where you live is a little broken, I hope you don't dislike it!"

"Dog, are you the only one living here?

"My parents were eaten by wild beasts in the mountains when I was six years old!"

"I'm sorry, I don't know..."Ling An felt a little guilty, feeling that he had said the wrong thing.

"Eun Gong is serious, I've long been used to it!" Xiao Mu didn't show much frustration.

"Then how have you lived alone all these years?" Ling An saw the strength and hardship of Ah Gou, his parents died at the age of six, and he was alone, so he can imagine how difficult it was.

"At the beginning, the elders in the village would give me some food, and later I would be more sensible, so I would go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs by myself, and then go to the town to exchange for some food, and occasionally follow the village adults into the mountains to hunt, and every time they would give me a lot of prey!"

"You're such a sensible child!" Ling An exclaimed sincerely.

"Hehe, it's okay! Engong, you wait, I'll cook now, and I'll be fine soon!" Ah Gou ran out of the hut, on the left side of the hut, a few wooden stakes propped up a shed, two earthen stoves and some firewood under the shed, this is the kitchen, Ah Dog began to be busy in the kitchen, everything seemed to be skilled and smooth.

About a stick of incense, the aroma wafted into the house, and Ah Gou came in with a large pot full of stewed wolf meat, and then took out two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

"Engong, it's too late today, you will eat it, tomorrow I will go to the mountains to catch a pheasant or hare, and then go to the village chief's house to exchange two taels of wine, which can be regarded as a wind and dust for you!" Ah Gou handed the dishes and chopsticks to Ling An as he spoke.

"Do you still know how to catch the wind and wash the dust?"

"I see that every time a guest comes from the village chief, they kill chickens and cows, and make a lot of delicious food. The village chief told me that if a guest comes from afar, we should be hospitable and bring out the best things in our own house, which is called catching the wind and washing the dust in rich people!" Ah Gou explained innocently, Ling An was the first guest of his family in the past two years, so he also seemed a little happy.

"Actually, this is enough!" Ling An picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, I have to say that Ah Gou's cooking skills are indeed good, the wolf meat is delicious and chewy, this is the first time Ling An has eaten like this.

"How does it taste?" Ah Gou waited for Ling An to finish eating before asking with an expectant expression.

"It's delicious, you eat it quickly!" Ling An also sandwiched a piece of Ah Gou's bowl.

The two of them ate deliciously, and soon a large pot of meat had been eaten, Ah Gou touched his somewhat propped belly, and said to himself: "I haven't eaten so full for a long time!" Looking at Ling An, seeing that he was also satisfied, he was quite proud.
