Winter goes to spring, and everything recovers.

The sky is just bright, and the clouds and mist on Qingyuan Mountain in the distance are like a fairyland on earth.

The morning breeze blows the willows, like a pair of gentle jade hands gently brushing the green hair.

The exotic flowers and plants in the field are slightly stained with dewdrops, emitting a fragrant and fragrant fragrance. The turquoise water of the lake also rippled, and the fish no longer sleozed, swimming happily in groups.

A young man in white held a hundred-step bow, retreated quickly, jumped up with both feet on the ground, bent the bow and arrows violently pulled full of sharp loosening, "whoosh", an iron arrow flew like a meteor, "poof" pierced the neck of a little rabbit who fled for his life in a panic, the little rabbit fell to the ground, and died with a whimper.

The boy ran quickly and lifted the rabbit with his hand.

"Haha, the star-chasing arrow, it really lives up to its name, it's as fast as a meteor, and it's a gain!"

This young man is Zhao Mingchen. In the past few months, since he got the archery cheats, he has practiced hard day and night and dare not slack off.

In the beginning, his arm was so weak that he couldn't even pull his bow, let alone shoot. After day by day of strength training and the improvement of internal strength, he finally learned the first skill of star-chasing arrows.

"Chen'er, I haven't seen you for many days, it seems that your archery skills have improved a lot!"

"Father-in-law, village chief, the child is ugly. Zhao Mingchen turned around and said.

It was Uncle Pang and the village chief who came. The two looked at each other and saw each other's expressions of approval.

The village chief said: "In the past few months, each of you has been working hard day and night, and your father-in-law and I have seen it in our hearts, and I am very pleased, but don't be complacent because of a little progress, you have too much to learn." ”

"Yes, the boy knows. ”

The village chief took out two booklets and said, "Chen'er, because of your diligence and studiousness, I will add some food for you, these two books are mastery of archery and divine feet." Mastering archery allows you to change your moves at will, kneading and penetrating them. And then create new tricks. ”

"Cultivating the Divine Foot can increase your movement speed, similar to Light Gong. If you can't beat it, run away, don't touch it. However, at the beginning of this divine foot cultivation, you had to run with your feet on a big stone and run around the village at least ten laps a day, can you bear it?"

"No problem, village chief grandpa, I will definitely cultivate hard and run errands for you as soon as possible. ”

The village chief nodded with satisfaction and stroked his long beard.

"There is an errand now, which is also a test for you. The village chief said with a smile.

"What errand? I'll go. Zhao Mingchen asked excitedly.

"It's also the thing you asked you to do last time, there is a Qijiazhuang ten miles north of Qingyuan Mountain, where there is an old man living in seclusion, and everyone calls him Lingxuzi. It's your master's brother. He used to be kind to me in the past, but he is not in good health recently, so I asked you to send him a thousand-year-old ginseng. How?"

"Chen'er is willing to go, I don't know when to leave?"

The village chief said, "Of course, the sooner the better." ”

"I'll go tomorrow. Zhao Mingchen replied neatly.

"To go to that Qijiazhuang, you have to climb this Qingyuan Mountain, and there are many beasts on the mountain, you must not be careless, this is also your first opportunity to experience. ”

"Rest assured! Zhao Mingchen replied.

After the village chief and Uncle Pang confessed, they turned around and went back. Zhao Mingchen was a little excited in his heart, he had never been independent in this world, which was undoubtedly a challenge to him.

He still has one day to solve the mystery of his origins. Yes, right today.

Thinking of this, he returned to the village chief's house, and after eating, he asked after a little thought.

"Grandpa, I heard that when I was picked up, my adoptive father sent you a jade pendant, I don't know where it is now?"

The village chief suddenly heard him mention the jade pendant, and he couldn't help but have a sad face.

"Jade Pei......? Alas, to be ashamed, a few years ago there was a plague in the village, which came with ferocity and quickly killed dozens of people. The plague continued to spread, and nine times out of ten the people in the village were infected. Lang Zhong was helpless and powerless to cope. ”

"Later, a wandering physician passed by, and he had a secret recipe for the plague. But he asked for fifty ingots, and we couldn't afford it, so we had to sell the jade pendant and survive the crisis. ”

Is the jade pendant sold? This is the only clue! Zhao Mingchen was greatly disappointed. However, the village chief did the right thing in this matter, no matter how valuable it is, it is something outside the body, where is it more important than the lives of the whole village?

Seeing that he was worried, the village chief comforted: "You don't have to be like this, there was still a small box when Ye Laohan gave the jade pendant at that time." Now at Uncle Ma's. ”

When Zhao Mingchen heard this, there was a big turnaround.

"Okay, I'll go to Uncle Ma and ask. You don't have to blame yourself, although the jade pendant is very valuable, it is something outside the body, and it is worth exchanging him for the lives of a villager. I'd do the same. ”

The village chief nodded happily and said, "Child, you have grown up and are well aware of the righteousness and take care of the overall situation. It's good, I don't know what you've been through, you used to be timid and scared, swallowing your anger and never communicating with people. Now you've completely changed. ”

Zhao Mingchen said in his heart, I am not him at all!

Zhao Mingchen immediately set off to Uncle Ma.

Uncle Ma is a leather merchant in this village, and his family is relatively wealthy, just under a thousand-year-old acacia in the west of the village.

"Uncle Ma, are you at home?"

"Who? It turned out to be you, what are you doing here?" It was Uncle Ma's son Ma Qi who opened the door.

"I asked Uncle Ma about something. Zhao Mingchen's face was calm.

"He's not at home, you can go back. ”

"Stinky boy, how can you treat a guest like this? I'm at home. ”

A white, fat, oily middle-aged man walked out with a smile.

"Oh, it's Xiao Chen, what are you looking for me? ”

Zhao Mingchen strode into the courtyard, rockery potted pavilions, really magnificent. It seems that his business is doing well.

"Uncle Ma, you have done a good job in the past few years? ”

"Hey, it's all about making some hard money, by the way, after you joined the Township Warrior Regiment, my kid is really obsessed with practicing martial arts, you have nothing to do to help him. ”

Immediately pouted, I don't want him to help?

"Shut up, you see that people are polite and speak like an adult. Study hard. ”

"You have won the prize, I came this time to get back the small box at the behest of the village chief. Zhao Mingchen said.

"How does he remember that little box now? Uncle Ma got up and was about to go back to the inner room.

Ma Qi looked flustered and asked tremblingly, "Is it that little red box?"

"yes, why did you take it? You kid, take it out. ”

"I was curious to take it out that day, and I looked for Zhou Dong They wanted to open it and take a look, but I didn't want to... At the entrance of the village by a few monkeys on the mountain... Snatched away. ”

Uncle Ma was furious and turned around and slapped him. "Do you know how important that box is, and you dare to take it out, and I'm so angry. ”

Zhao Mingchen hurriedly persuaded, "Uncle Ma, don't be angry, he didn't mean it, so let's go to the mountain and grab it back." ”

Ma Qi hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, I'll go with you." ”

"Okay, so you can take care of it, but be careful. Uncle Ma's complexion eased slightly, and he instructed.

Ma Qi picked up the mountain knife and went out of the house with Zhao Mingchen.
