Canghai said: "Heiyunyuan has existed for generations, why didn't you know the danger at that time, and you wanted to form a team to go in?"

Cang Baizhong said: "Silly boy, it is precisely because I know that this place is dangerous that I need to form a team to enter the mountain." That year, there was a famine, the grain was not abundant, people could only rely on the wild game in the mountains to survive, hunting every day, and the animals in the front mountains were all gone. A few of them were so hungry that they ran into the back mountains, but instead they became food for wild beasts. ”

Canghai said: "Well, although we are hunters, once we enter the mountains, it is difficult to say who is the prey. ”

Cang Baizhong said: "Isn't it." But that year, hunger forced everyone, and everyone really couldn't do anything. Let's go in, I'm afraid, if I don't enter, I'm hungry, everyone discussed, thinking that there are many people and great strength, no matter how fierce the beast, everyone can always kill if they rush up, right? It's still your grandfather's team. Unexpectedly, once they entered, no one came back. ”

Canghai frowned and said, "No one has come back, but aren't you still alive?"

Cang Baizhong said: "When they entered the mountain, I happened to have a cold and was sick in bed, so I didn't go with them. ”

Canghai said: "Then why do you say that your body was bitten by a fierce beast at that time?"

Cang Baizhong said: "Yes." But not with them. The hunting team has been in the mountains for many days, but no one has returned home, and the women and children in various villages are talking about it, worrying that something will happen to the hunting team. After all, the dangerous things in the back mountains have been passed down from generation to generation, and everyone understands it. Half a month has passed, and there is still no news from the hunting team, and the women and children can't sit still, clamoring to go into the mountains to find their own men. ”

Canghai said: "So you volunteered to go into the mountains alone to find the hunting team." ”

Cang Baizhong said: "Isn't it." The young men from several villages have gone, and I am the only one who can carry a knife. All the people of the hunting party are gone, and if even the women and children left behind run into the mountains to die, my sin will be great. Besides, your mother was crying so much that I couldn't stand it. ”

Canghai laughed and said, "I wasn't born at that time, was I?"

Cang Baizhong said: "Your mother was still a big girl with yellow flowers at the time, how could there be you? I am an outsider, if it weren't for your mother's fancy and pestering me to marry me, I wouldn't have lived in Hongxia Village for half my life." ”

Canghai laughed and said: "What you said, if my mother is still alive, I am afraid that I will beat you." ”

Cangbaizhong couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that your mother died early." I didn't see you grow up today. She is also miserable, when you are in charge of the house, but after entering the mountain, you will never return. ”

Canghai said: "Did you find them after you entered the mountain?"

Cang Baizhong sighed and said, "At that time, I had recovered from the wind and cold, so I went into the back mountain by myself. After searching for a long time, I didn't see anyone, but I found a few human bones. Alas, I knew at a glance that this person was indeed gone. I gathered up the broken bones, and was about to return, when the beasts of the forest set their sights on me. ”

As he spoke, he touched his crippled legs and feet, and continued: "That's a big beast, I'm afraid it's similar to the horned beast you encountered. The beast chased me all the way to the front mountain, and I couldn't escape, so I had to fight with it. No, although it was abolished, the beast was also killed by me. It was only by eating this giant beast that our village barely survived the famine that year. So although I became a waster, the people in the village were also grateful and have been helping me until now. ”

Canghai thought of the humility and humiliation of needing alms from others almost every day for the past twenty years, and his soft nerves couldn't help but be deeply touched, and he said gloomily: "One day, I will find the best doctor in the world to heal your injuries." ”

Cang Baizhong laughed and said, "It's been twenty years since I was injured, I'm afraid it won't be helpful if the gods come." It's almost as good as finding the best cook to cure my cravings. ”

Canghai said: "Ouch, I almost forgot, I cooked the snake meat." ”

Time flies, and half a month passes. Late autumn is over, and winter is late. During the period, Canghai occasionally went to the front mountain to hunt birds, and although the harvest was not much, it could fill a few stomachs after all. As for the python meat that was brought back, it was mainly eaten after the heavy snow closed the mountain. Winter came late this year, and I don't know how long it will take for snow to fall heavily.

Every time I stand in front of the mountain and look at the back mountain, Canghai always palpitates, and I am also very curious. The giant bird that hunted and killed the horned beast that day was rare in this life, and the black cloud abyss below didn't know what the situation was?

On this day, the sea did not go to the mountain, but at the end of the village caught a fat rabbit, very happy, slaughtered and drank with his father, and drank until midnight. Cang Baizhong was drunk and unconscious. Canghai drank better than his father, and after serving his father to sleep, he poured himself wine and poured himself a drink. When I drank the second glass, suddenly the window lit up.

Canghai stopped his cup and asked, "Who?"

There was silence outside the window. Canghai thought that he was dizzy and dazzled, so he immediately collected the wine and prepared to sleep.

Suddenly, it lit up again outside the window.

This time it was bright for a long time, and it flashed a few times before disappearing, Canghai rubbed his eyes, and finally believed that it was not an illusion. Immediately drew a knife in his hand, picked it up at the window and looked out.

Outside the window, there was no one.

Because every year in the winter, there are often thieves in the place, not to mention stealing chickens and dogs, and the methods are cruel, and it is not appalling to exterminate the master's house. Therefore, Canghai was still not at ease, gently opened the door bolt, and the cat touched it out with his waist.

After two rounds around the house, there was still no hostile situation. Canghai was born with sharp facial features, and he saw and heard, and he was sure that there was no one nearby. Suspicious and about to go back to the house, suddenly the light lit up for the third time.

Canghai looked up, but the light was shining down from the sky. I saw a cluster of brilliance erupt in the sky directly above my head, instantly illuminating the originally dark night as if it were day. Suddenly, the brilliance turned into a meteor, drew a long white line in the sky, and fell in the direction of the back mountain.

As the meteor sank into the mountain line, the heavens and the earth fell into a realm of extreme darkness and darkness. Canghai had never seen such a scene before, and he was shocked for a while.

After a while, the colorful light behind the mountain line flickered, shooting backwards from the bottom to the top, like a peacock opening the screen, reflecting the night sky over there is beautiful. However, because the mountain line is quite high, most of the sight is obscured, and the brilliance that leaks is only the tip of the iceberg.

Canghai didn't know what to do for a while. Ran back to the house to wake up my father to inquire. Canghai said in his heart: "I used to hear the old people say that when the sky is a vision, there will be great changes. Now this meteor has fallen to the ground, but I don't know if it's evil or lucky?"

After a little hesitation, he gritted his teeth, brought his bow and arrows with him, and then ran to knock on the door of the three families, and shouted, "Third brother!

After knocking for a long time, Ji Sanniang in the house asked, "Who? The third watch knocked on the door in the middle of the night so urgently, and let people sleep?"

Canghai said: "I'm Canghai, is the third brother here?"

Ji Sanniang said: "Yo, it's Xiaohai." His uncle lost a few sheep today, and he helped find them in the third child, but he was not at home. Are you in such a hurry to find him?"

Canghai said: "Both...... Since he's not at home, forget it and bother you. ”

Ji Sanniang still needs to ask again, and the sea has already gone away.

Canghai was alone and went straight to the mountain. At this moment, he had long forgotten the fear that the beasts in the back mountains had brought him, and there was only one thought in his heart that kept circling wildly in his mind: "What is that? What is that?"
