Sikong Qiang watched his grandfather hammer the iron with a hammer, and he had a lot of thoughts. I heard my grandfather say that he picked it up twelve years ago.

At that time, Grandpa passed by the Walmart Forest when he was on his way to Bairimen from Beach to run errands, and because he accidentally entered the depths of the Walmart Forest, he picked up Sikong Qiang under a big tree near the sea.

Grandpa was alone, making a living by striking iron, and occasionally planted some herbs to treat some minor illnesses for the villagers. Since picking up Sikong Qiang, the grandfather and grandson depend on each other for a living, because the grandfather's surname is Sikong, so he named him Sikong Qiang, hoping that he will become strong as soon as possible.

Sikong Qiang returned to reality, looking at the small hut in front of him and the iron tools stacked at the door, as well as weapons such as shortsword and bronze axe. Grandpa is over 70 years old, and he was tired and out of breath after half an hour of ironing, so he had to stop and sit on the ground to rest, but after a while, he coughed violently...

Seeing this, Sikong Qiang hurriedly went over and patted his grandfather's chest, and said, "Grandpa, let's come with me" As he spoke, he stood up, skillfully picked up the hammer, and beat it. The sound of nails echoed in the valley of ginkgo.

When grandpa saw this, he burst into tears and said, "Good boy! It's sensible!"

In addition to helping his grandfather strike iron, doing housework and going out to pick herbs, Sikong Qiang rarely plays with the children in the village, maybe it is the hardships of life that make him unable to take care of playing, which also makes Sikong Qiang sometimes feel that he is not from this Marfa continent, because in his dreams he vaguely feels that he is a person from another world.

Sikong Qiang and his grandfather live in a small village outside the Ginkgo Valley in Beachy Province, a remote wilderness of the Shenlong Empire. I heard my grandfather say that the Shenlong Empire is 108,000 miles away from here, and if you want to go to the Shenlong Empire, there are not only poisonous snakes and beasts on the way, the mountains are high and the road is far away, but you also have to pass through the towering snow-capped mountains, and it is said that a fire dragon is suppressed in the snow-capped mountains. There is a snow-capped mountain tunnel in this snow-capped mountain, and only through the snow-capped mountain tunnel can you reach Longfeicheng, the capital of the Shenlong Empire.

Sikong Qiang and his grandfather have lived in Ginkgo Valley for 12 years. Sikong Qiang usually likes to be quiet, meditate and meditate, and likes to study the changes of heaven and earth. One day, Sikong Qiang, as usual, went out to collect medicine.

Sikong Qiang carried a basket with a sickle in the basket. Put on a cloth robe, and in order to defend yourself, I took a short sword and set off.

Sikong Qiang walked out along a small river that flowed into the village, and along the way many chickens pecked at insects on the ground, Sikong Qiang continued to walk, and gradually reached the forest.

There are a lot of deer grazing in the forest, Sikong Qiang heard from his grandfather that some deer will drop deer blood, which is a very precious item, but Sikong Qiang has never seen it.

Sikong Qiang followed the path that others had walked in the forest to the depths of the forest, where only there were medicinal herbs. As I walked, I suddenly saw a nail rake cat not far in front of me beating a peasant woman with a nail rake, and the peasant woman was so frightened that she crawled on the ground and shivered.

Seeing this, Sikong Qiang thought about it, didn't say a word, pulled out his short sword, and rushed over. Aimed at the back of the nail rake cat is a sword.

The nail rake cat was raking the peasant woman, making a cat-like cry in her mouth, and when she was proud, Sikong Qiang's short sword stabbed it, and the nail rake cat was caught off guard.

When he saw that it was a 12-year-old child, he couldn't help but be ferocious, roaring angrily and walking forward quickly, raking over, with the sound of the wind, the power was amazing. Sikong Qiang was not afraid, and when the nail rake had not yet arrived, he quickly stabbed out with a sword, and the nail rake cat pierced a hole in its chest, and with a bang, he threw down the nail rake and fell to the ground and died.

Sikong Qiang had killed the nail rake cat when he was collecting medicine before, and he was familiar with the road, so he was so calm. Sikong Qiang checked the peasant woman and saw that she was not injured, but she was frightened, so he comforted her and continued on the road, and the peasant woman left with a thousand thanks.

After walking for a while, Sikong Qiang finally found the herbs he needed in the sunny place on a hillside, Sikong Qiang took out the sickle in the basket and picked up the herbs, and after a while, he picked a lot, Sikong Qiang continued to move forward, picking other kinds of herbs.

This forest is boundless, there is only one path that people have walked, fortunately, Sikong Qiang has been here before, vaguely remember the road, Sikong Qiang picked some herbs by a river, seeing that the basket of herbs was almost full, Sikong Qiang put down the sickle and looked at the sky, the sun in the sky was gradually setting, and the forest was full of tall trees, mixed with birdsong and wolf howls.

It's time to go back, Sikong Qiang thought, and he was ready to go home.

Sikong Qiang tried his best to remember the road he had come to before, walking and walking, because of the efforts of the nail rake cat just now, and the fact that he was only a 12-year-old child after all, he was still lost.

Sikong Qiang was walking in the forest, and found that he had returned to the same place after walking for a long time, he thought about it and walked in the opposite direction, this time he did not follow the path that people had walked, but walked randomly by himself.

I don't know how long I walked, but I still didn't get out of the forest and couldn't see the small river in the village. Sikong Qiang couldn't help but get anxious, the dry food he brought was almost eaten, the sky was gradually darkening, and his legs were heavy because he had walked too much and were like being filled with lead, what should I do? What to do? Sikong Qiang is about to cry...

With tears in his eyes, Sikong Qiang walked reluctantly, passing by a birch forest, and the birch trees in it were straight and straight, standing proudly, straight into the sky. Sikong Qiang stepped on the weeds and walked forward hard, he didn't know if the way home was in front of him now, he just walked blindly.

In front of him was a huge birch tree, with a tall trunk, gray-white bark, and golden leaves full of autumn poetry, but all this beauty seemed very incongruous to Sikong Qiang, because he was no longer in the mood to enjoy this beauty, and he was a little scared at the thought of how to spend the night in this boundless forest tonight.

Sikong Qiang slowed down step by step, and then he almost moved, he wanted to rest under this huge birch tree, although it was late, but he couldn't care about it.

Sikong Qiang came to the birch tree, to this tree that dozens of people couldn't hug. Sit down under one of the roots that grows out of this huge birch tree. Piercing through this rough breath, his eyes were full of fearful fantasies, fantasizing about what happened tonight in the forest, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he couldn't hold back crying anymore.

In the hazy eyes of tears, Sikong Qiang looked aimlessly, hoping that someone could help him get out of the current predicament, Sikong Qiang gradually scanned the surroundings, the scene in front of him moved slowly, and suddenly a scenery that caught his eye attracted him, to be precise, it was not this scenery that attracted Sikong Qiang, but the people in this landscape, there was a mysterious girl in this landscape.
