The mountain is a lonely mountain, and the village is an isolated village.

The lonely mountain is the name of the mountain, and the lonely village is the situation in which the village is located.

The village is called Jianglin Village, but apart from a large mountain, there is not a single water area within a radius of 200 miles, let alone a river.

The mountain is a hundred feet high, like a sword, reaching into the sky. There is only one peak in the mountain, and it is as smooth as a sword, and there is not even a raised mountain bag within a radius of a hundred miles at a glance.

However, the mountains are overgrown with trees, forming a deep jungle with a radius of 200 miles. On weekdays, the jungle is just silent. Occasionally, a bird flies, and the young people of the village are always attracted to it.

There are only a dozen families in Jianglin Village, and they are engaged in agriculture. Half of the grain grown had to be handed over to Black Cloud City, three hundred miles away, and the rest could barely survive the villagers. If you encounter a natural disaster, it becomes a big problem to survive.

Fortunately, Jianglin Village is quite smooth, and there has been basically no famine, even if there are droughts and floods outside, there can be enough harvest here.

It's just that there is only one small road leading to the big river a hundred miles away, and the rest of the place is a dense forest, and there are too many poisonous snakes and beasts hidden in the forest, let alone mortals, even cultivators dare not break into it, otherwise there will not be even a single bone left.

This is not appalling, but the conclusion reached by countless people with their own lives, and no one who does not believe in evil and breaks into it, even if they are cultivators, and who have cultivated to reach the heavens, will never come out again.

This place is too remote, on weekdays, the villagers contact the outside world through a small road, and regularly go to Black Cloud City to buy the daily necessities they need, usually only once a month, after all, people who are busy in the fields every day do not have much time.

The distance of 300 miles, even if the people in the village are fast enough, it will take six days to come and go.

It's so remote that people from outside rarely come in.

And there are lonely mountains and 200 miles of jungle surrounding, which is much safer than outside, and the people inside don't want to go out. Of course, some families will marry their daughters, and some people will marry the daughters of outsiders.

One in and one out, the population of Jianglin Village has been maintained at fifty or sixty people, and it is also strange that there are no more people for hundreds of years.

On this day, as soon as the sky dawned, the big rooster at the entrance of the village crowed, and whenever it began to crow, the villagers should get up and prepare to go out to the mountains to do farm work.

At the end of the village, there is a family surnamed Yue, two of them are twenty-five or sixteen years old, have no children of their own, and raise their brother's son.

The man's voice was very rough, and he walked into the haystack outside the door with a bamboo stick.

Syllable!

The bamboo stick in the man's hand slammed heavily on a child's back, and he said sharply: "Dead finch, why don't you get up and go out to work in the mountains, do you still want to eat today's meal?" If it weren't for looking at you, the short-lived father is my brother's face, and you would have been thrown into the woods to feed the wolves a long time ago." ”

The child looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, thin and thin, and his complexion was bronzed, which looked like the result of a long period of work in the sun.

The child was shirtless, and after eating pain, he immediately turned over and got up from the haystack, and there were still many dead grass leaves stuck to his body, he held his head, and hurriedly said in his mouth: "Second uncle, I'm sorry, I was too tired yesterday and overslept, I'll go to work now." ”

"You're too tired? You cut half an acre of wheat in one day, and you dare to shout that you're tired? Don't you know that Black Cloud City is going to have more grain this year? They want to divide sixty percent this year, and the extra harvest will be deducted from your rations?"

The man's eyes were like eagle falcons, staring at the child fiercely, and he said coldly: "If it weren't for your short-lived father's relationship, whoever cares about your life or death, you would be an unlucky child, and whoever gets involved with you will be unlucky." ”

The child was used to his beating and scolding, and he had long since disagreed, but whenever the man said that his father was a short-lived ghost, he would be furious.

Now he heard the man say that his father was a short-lived ghost, and his eyes suddenly widened in anger, and he pounced on him to bite the man.

His gaze suddenly changed from submissive to fierce, and his body was as thin as a hungry wolf. Although his body was thin, he was very powerful, and ten fingers were like steel claws, and they grabbed the man's face fiercely.

The man froze, knowing that he had said the wrong thing. This nephew of his own, usually beats and scolds, is extremely obedient, but when it comes to his father, he will be extremely manic. It's just that this kid is surprisingly strong, only twelve years old, and he is almost the same as an adult. The man couldn't figure out how a twelve-year-old child could have so much strength. He estimated in his heart that if he waited another year or two, he would not be able to compare to his nephew's strength.

The woman in the room got dressed, heard the movement outside the house, and immediately rushed out of the door, and saw two men, one big and one small, fighting. The small one looked like a tree with his legs coiled around his man, and his two hands were frantically scratching his man's head.

She slapped a stick in her hand, went around the child's back, and struck the child on the back with a stick. The child was in pain and fell off the man's body.

The woman continued to beat the child, and scolded in her mouth: "You little rabbit cub, you have grown up, right, you dare to beat your second uncle, your father is a short-lived ghost, your mother is a scourge, the whole Jianglin Village knows, where did your second uncle say wrong?"

The child blushed, and the woman said that he knew that because of his birth, his father and mother died, and Jianglin Village, which had been in a good mood, became prone to natural disasters because of his birth, and the harvest in the village was not as good as a year. This is also the reason why Black Cloud City has to divide more food this year.

But he doesn't allow others to say this about his father and mother, although he has never seen what his father and mother look like, but they gave birth to themselves, and he has to protect them.

He said ruthlessly in his heart: "I'm going to find the village chief now, I want to divide the land, I can support myself, and you don't have to worry about me in the future." ”

He rushed out of the courtyard and ran towards the village chief's house in the middle of the village.

In the middle of the village, an old man with a white beard on crutches looked up the hill, not knowing what he was looking at.

Looking at the child running towards him, the old man looked a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Hong'er, what's wrong with you?

The child's heart warmed, his real name was Yue Jianghong, but the people in the village, except for his own grandfather, who would call him Hong'er, everyone else called him, and even his surname was split into two halves.

Although he was displeased, he got used to it over time.

It can be said that in his heart, except for his parents, who cannot be insulted, the rest is no longer important, even if it is his own name.

He puffed up his chest and said bluntly: "Master, when I grow up, I want to divide the land, and I can farm the land to support myself." ”

The old man was thoughtful and asked, "Child, did your uncle Yue Zhong beat you again?"

"It's not because of this, because he and his women scolded my father and my mother!"

"I see, it's really your uncle's fault. However, you also have to be considerate and considerate of them, they also have their difficulties. The old man gently touched his head and said soothingly.

"They say it's my parents, why should I be considerate of them?" said the child, unconvinced.

"Child, you have grown up, today, the grandfather will tell you a story!"

The old man raised his gaze, looked at the top of the lonely mountain, and said leisurely: "It was thirteen years ago, your father went to Black Cloud City to exchange salt and oil, and when he came back, he brought a woman, the woman is very beautiful, and your father said that he would take her as his wife." The people in the village disagreed. Some people think that such a woman is unknown and is afraid of bringing misfortune to the village. Some people are jealous of his beauty and are afraid that she will cause trouble. They didn't just say it, but I knew it in my heart. ”

"Later, I agreed, she is your mother. A year later, she gave birth to you, and since then, the misfortune in the village has not stopped. ”

"When you were born, there were some big changes, when your mother gave birth to you, she gave birth to a whole day, during the day, a big hung flew from the top of the lonely mountain, the big hung was as big as our village, and the houses in our village collapsed, and at night, a big snake came, and the entrance of the village was as long as your house, and it ate all the pigs, sheep and cattle in the village overnight. The next day you were finally born, and the sky was thunderstorming again, and there was a green dragon floating in it, and the heavy rain washed away the collapsed houses, and the sky cleared at night, and another firebird came, burning the forest more than ten miles long. ”

"The people in the village are afraid of your family, especially your mother and you, they don't dare to say it openly, and behind their backs they all say that your mother is a monster and a scourge. From the year you were born, there was a drought in the village, which had been in good weather, and the next year there was a flood. ”

"Two years later, one night, your father and your mother were struck by lightning and died. You are the only one left, and the thunder and lightning were originally aimed at you, but your father and your mother blocked it for you. The people in the village said that you were an ominous person, and that they would throw you into the jungle to feed the wolves, but your uncle and your aunt did not speak, and at the critical time they both said that they would help your parents raise you. You were saved from bad luck, and the people in the village didn't dare to talk about your parents, nor did they dare to talk about you, for fear of bad luck, so they spread their resentment on your uncle and his wife. ”

"When you are sensible, you should know that the village has a very bad attitude towards your uncle and his wife. Moreover, when you were four years old, your aunt was inexplicably pregnant with a five-month-old child, and she hasn't been pregnant since. So it's normal to have some temper with you. ”

The child was stunned, unaware that he had brought so much to it.

"Your name was taken by your mother, your father doesn't know a few big characters, your mother said that your surname is Yue, you were born in Jianglin Village, and when you were born, Dahong flew in, so she named you Yue Jianghong. ”

The old man looked at the sky for a long time, and finally said: "Master, I have never believed in any evil in my life, but what happened to you, I can't see through it at all, old lady." ”

"My name is Yue Jianghong, not a!"

Yue Jianghong silently wrote down his name and walked towards Yue Zhong's house.

Behind him, the old man asked, "Hong'er, where are you going?"

"Go home, out of the mountains!"

Yue Jianghong didn't look back.
