The morning sun is slightly dewed, the warm wind blows, and the first rays of the morning sun shine through the mist on the vast land.

The mountains and ravines in the great wilderness are outlined vertically and horizontally, and from time to time there are bursts of roars of fierce beasts, the roars shake the mountains and rivers, the trees tremble, and the green leaves are broken and scattered.

Under the majestic mountains, the fog is thick and the fog rises and falls, and in a clearing on the outskirts of the wilderness, there are several thatched houses.

The rooster crowed, and a faint light lit up in the thatched house, and before long, several strong men with hoes walked out of the house and began a new day of farming.

As soon as the sky dawned, a white fish belly rose in the east of the mountains, and the villages on the ground began to be noisy.

The village is close to the great wilderness, and the outside of the village is full of cultivated land, which is full of vegetables and grains, and a large area of farming can also provide food and clothing for the villagers.

The village was silent and peaceful, and several children automatically formed a circle in front of the morning glow, holding bamboo slips in their hands, and sitting next to a white-bearded old man.

The tiger-headed child seemed to be only five or six years old, holding the bamboo slips in his small hands, and looked up at the white-bearded old man with a childish little face, his eyes full of hope.

The white-bearded old man was dressed in a long robe, he looked seventy or eighty years old, but he was still in good spirits, sitting in the center with a gray beard, reading books in his palms, teaching the children earnestly, and looking quite learned.

I heard that the white-bearded old man used to be a scholar in a nearby town, and he boasted of being knowledgeable, so everyone in the village believed him, and hired him as a teacher for a few dollars.

Among the children, there sat a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, blindfolded with a rag, interspersed in the children's school, making him look out of place.

The young man was dressed in simple clothes, crossed his legs, and sat leisurely on a long-abandoned carriage frame, pursed his lips, and looked at the scroll with interest.

Strangely, although the boy was blindfolded, he seemed to be able to read the handwriting in the book and understand the meaning of the book.

"Gu Xi, what are you looking at?" In addition to teaching, the white-bearded old man noticed the boy's demeanor.

"Sir, I didn't see anything......

Gu Xi smiled slyly, then scratched his head, looked honest, and hid the scroll on the carriage shelf.

The white-bearded old man sighed lightly, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, shook his head, and continued to turn around and teach the child.

The old gentleman's temperament has long been clear to him, and Gu Xi has long been surprised by this.

He was left by his parents to Mr. Teacher since he was born, and he has been with him for 16 years, but during this period, many teenagers of his same generation have gone out of the wilderness, but he has been staying in the village in obscurity.

Gu Xi also wants to be like an ordinary teenager, stepping into thousands of mountains and rivers and seeing the prosperous scene of the world.

Although he has longed for the majestic and prosperous city outside since he was a child, the order of his parents cannot be violated.

However, there are many men in the family, and the second brother on his head stays tepid in a nearby town, and the family has broken off the idea of letting Gu Xi go out.

For the world outside the Great Wilderness, Gu Xi can only know a thing or two from the books that the second brother brought back during the holidays.

Among them, he was very interested in the military books and the side ways in the books, and in his spare time, Gu Xi repeatedly read the few scrolls.

The sun was dazzling, reading through the rags, Gu Xi only felt a burst of sleepiness coming, and gradually closed his eyes.

"Brother, wake up, my mother asked us to pick up some firewood. ”

I don't know how long I slept, Gu Xi heard a burst of milky shouts in his ears, and opened his sleepy eyes.

On the side, the ten-year-old girl was carrying a bamboo basket while pushing Gu Xi, who was screaming.

This well-behaved girl is the only sister under Gu Xi's head, her face is white and cute, she is very likable, and she is a beauty embryo when she is young.

"Xia'er, you wait a while, brother. Gu Xi suddenly fell asleep, and immediately jumped off the carriage rack, picking up the bamboo basket at his feet and carrying it behind him.

"Third brother, in a few hours, the second brother is estimated to be able to get home and catch a pheasant for the second brother?" Gu Xia raised her little face, suddenly thought of something, and proposed.

"Yes, I almost forgot, today is the day when the second brother and sister-in-law come home. Listening to her sister's reminder, Gu Xi patted the back of her head and remembered suddenly.

Gu Xi nodded with a smile, touched Gu Xia's little head, and took Gu Xia's little hand and walked towards the Great Wilderness.

......

The village is on the periphery of the great wilderness, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, and ordinary people can't find a way into the village.

The fierce beasts that were originally wandering around the village were all killed by the strong men in the village, and since then, there have not been many fierce beasts that dare to entrench outside the village.

The damp smell in the great wilderness and dense forest is very heavy, and the morning dew of spring morning drops on the leaves, and the fishy smell of rotting birds and beasts on the ground comes to the face.

Gu Xi, as usual, facing the scorching sun, his expression was very appropriate, he walked in the front, lowered his head to pick up branches, and the bamboo basket behind him was already full of firewood.

Gu Xia grabbed the corner of Gu Xi's clothes with her small hand, followed closely behind Gu Xi, and looked around with her big eyes.

"Xia'er, as before, don't touch anything, follow the third brother. Gu Xi turned around and instructed.

Their village has lived in the Great Wilderness for hundreds of years, and naturally knows that there are dangers lurking in it, poisonous weeds and insects are hidden, and even adults will die here if they are not careful.

Although Gu Xi was familiar with it, he only dared to take his sister around the village, and he didn't dare to go into the wilderness at all.

According to rumors, there are fierce beasts that call for wind and rain in the great wilderness, and even more are as tall as the mountains, which can break the sea with a wave of the hand, and destroy the mountains with a snap of the fingers, which is undoubtedly like the gods and demons who controlled the world in ancient times.

But these are all said by Gu Xi when he came to listen to the chatter of the older generation in the village, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

Sometimes Gu Xi stood alone on the hills, looking at the jagged mountains and the trees that could not be seen at a glance, he really wanted to go into the Great Wilderness and see what was hidden in the Great Wilderness......

"Third brother, when will the rags in your eyes be removed, it looks so strange!" Gu Xia looked up at Gu Xi and asked suspiciously.

The third brother has been blindfolded since she can remember, and she wonders why the third brother has been blindfolded for more than ten years.

"I don't know, my mother said that I was pecked by the Qingfeng bird when I was a child, and I couldn't see the light, and I would be blind when I took off the rags, but it didn't get in the way, and the third brother I could see clearly with the rags. Gu Xi opened his mouth and said with a smile.

Talking about family life along the way, Gu Xi carried a bamboo basket full of firewood and took Gu Xia back to the village.

"Xia'er, take the firewood to my mother, and the third brother will go to collect some game, and come back before noon. Gu Xi smiled and handed the bamboo basket to Gu Xia, turned his head and ran towards the wilderness.

"Third brother, be careful!"

After running for about a few hundred meters, Gu Xi suddenly heard Xiao Budian shouting at him at the top of his voice.

The corners of Gu Xi's mouth, who ran out, rose slightly, and he suddenly plunged into the wilderness jungle and disappeared.

......

In the Great Wilderness, ten miles away from the village

Ten miles is not far away, but for the villagers of the village, ten miles is already a critical point, and no one cares about it here, and even the young people with good skills in the village dare not break in easily.

At this time, Gu Xi easily shuttled through the dense forest, carrying two pheasants that had been dead for a long time in his hands, looking as free as fish swimming in the water.

When he was a child, he secretly roamed the periphery of the wilderness without telling his parents, and the roads and trails within a radius of twenty miles of the village had long been memorized, and there was no doubt about it in his own back garden.

"There is still more than an hour, no hurry. Gu Xi leaned his back against the tree, leisurely looked at the sun hanging in the air, and nibbled on the berries on the tree.

Suddenly, Gu Xi's eyes rolled and he ran eastward.
