Chapter 2: Nine Strange Days, Strange Chen Yuan (1)
"Xiao Chenyuan, are you going to play in the forest again?" A plainly dressed middle-aged woman turned her head and smiled at a ten-year-old boy while washing her clothes.
"Well, Aunt Li, today Da Ash caught two hares in the field that plagued the crops, and I will ask my mother to send one to you after turning around. The boy who was called Xiao Chenyuan raised his head and said with a bright smile at the middle-aged woman. Behind him was a stout gray wolf, one meter six tall at the shoulders and more than three meters long, with longer fur on its back and chest than the rest of the body, and sharp canine fangs extending beyond the lips, making the gray wolf look even stronger and fiercer.
But this gray wolf, which looks like a murderous and wild wolf, is now like an obedient wolf dog, holding two hares whose throats have been bitten off in his mouth, obediently following behind the small figure, without any intention of attacking others. Listening to the child, the gray wolf also helped the village to watch the rice fields on the river beach.
In this regard, Aunt Li has long been surprised. Ten years ago, when Xiao Chenyuan was born, it attracted a tide of beasts, causing the beasts in the mountains and forests around the village to almost pour out of their nests and crawl under Chenyuan, who was still in his infancy. This vision was called "the coming of a hundred beasts" by the old village chief Mu Yuanshan, and it is said that it was a rare vision of the beast clan when the royal family was born, and it was the first time it appeared in the human race. The old village chief said that Chen Yuan, this kid, is very talented, and no one can say for sure about his future.
Sure enough, the old village chief's words came true after a while. It only took three months for Chen Yuan to learn to walk, and he was able to speak and was exceptionally intelligent. When he was three years old, he was found by his mother to be able to play with a hundred ** streams, and now he is ten years old, the people in the village and Chen Yuan's family can already rest assured that he can boldly go to the dense forests and hills to play with his own heart, with his talent for speaking beasts, although he is still young, but it can already be regarded as the leading combat power in the village, because his friends include the golden feather eagle and several beasts that dominate one side, this gray wolf is one of his friends, once he enters the dense forest hills, it is equivalent to coming to his home field, and everyone is naturally very assured of his safety.
The first time Chen Yuan brought these beast friends into the village really caused quite a stir, and he almost didn't break out in a cold sweat for his father, Mu Qingfeng. But as the number of times increased, these beasts never attacked the villagers, and everyone gradually became accustomed to it, and even occasionally made more cooked meat at home to entertain these beasts entering the village.
And these beasts do not eat the things given by the villagers in vain, they will bring in chickadees, pheasants and other prey they have caught, and they will always divide more villagers while beating their own teeth, which undoubtedly makes the life of the villagers better.
After all, no matter how good the hunters are, they don't know the situation of the mountains and forests without these beasts that grew up in the dense forests and hills, and the hunting efficiency is far from comparable, and the rare prey that these beasts occasionally bring, such as ferrets, three-colored pheasants, etc., are often difficult to catch by the hunters in the village for a month.
"Okay, good, Xiao Chenyuan has a heart. Turning around, my aunt asked Uncle Baocheng to roast the fragrant roe deer stored at home, and then braised your hare, with a few side dishes, you and Da Ash came to eat, you also know that your Uncle Baocheng's craftsmanship is one of the best in the village. You must come. The middle-aged woman who was washing clothes grinned, rubbed the sweat on her forehead with the clothes on her shoulders because she squatted down to do laundry, and said to Chen Yuan in a kind voice.
"Hey, auntie, I know. Chen Yuan said crisply, and walked towards the village with the gray wolf named Big Gray. "What a sensible baby, the village chief's family is a good person, and it is a blessing" The middle-aged woman who was called by Chen Yuan to be Aunt Li sighed, turned around, and continued to wash the clothes in her hands.
"Mother, I'm back. Chen Yuan pushed open the courtyard door as usual and shouted. "Oh, Brother Mu, this is Ling Lang, look at this look is really handsome, I guess I will be extraordinary when I grow up." An unfamiliar voice reached Tatsumoto's ears. Chen Yuan's heart moved, and a guest came to the house.
"Hahaha, this is my son, Mu Chenyuan, come to Chenyuan, this is your Uncle Kong Lian. Mu Qingfeng pulled over a middle-aged man in a purple robe, with a feminine face, and was dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes, and introduced him to Chen Yuan.
Although Mu Qingfeng has always been in charge of the village's finances and trade, and he is also very shrewd, he still has a little simplicity of the mountain people after all. The greatest pride in his life is his gifted son, who can make life better in the village at the age of ten, in his own words, "Chen Yuan is much more capable than me." ”
Kong Lian praised his son, but it can be regarded as a praising to the point, it can be said that Mu Qingfeng was full of comfort, the smile between his eyebrows and eyes could not be stopped, and the corners of his mouth were about to bend to the sky.
"Hello Uncle Kong Lian, you have won the prize. Chen Yuan respectfully bowed to the purple-robed man and took the initiative to say hello. Kong Lian, who was sitting next to Mu Qingfeng, had his eyes lit up, and he secretly said in his heart: "This child is not simple, not only is he not as cowardly as an ordinary ten-year-old child when he sees a living, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has a thorough etiquette, which is really rare." ”
"By the way, Dad, today Da Ash caught two hares in the field that were ruining the crops, and just came back and met Aunt Li of Uncle Baocheng's family, and said that he would let his mother remove his hair and give her one, what about his mother?" Chen Yuan saw that there was no one in the house, so he asked Mu Qingfeng.
"Oh, your mother is having lunch in the kitchen, you take Da Ash to the kitchen to find her, I'll talk to your Uncle Kong about something. It just so happens that your Uncle Kong is also here today, let your mother clean up the rabbits, one for your Aunt Li, and one for your Uncle Kong to stew, so that he can also taste our game here. When Mu Qingfeng heard this, he pointed to the kitchen for Chen Yuan, and motioned for Chen Yuan to go first and talk about things by himself.
"Okay, let's go, big gray, I'll let my mother make you braised quail in a while, I remember there are two more at home." Chen Yuan obediently agreed, greeted the big gray standing outside the door, and walked towards the kitchen. "Woo~" Big Gray held the hare in his mouth, and called twice indistinctly, looking at the tail that swayed from side to side, thinking that this braised quail was very suitable for its appetite.
"Ahh This is the Gray-Maned Wolf King!" Seeing the big gray with two hares in his mouth, passing through the courtyard gate and following Chen Yuan to the kitchen, Kong Lian got up from the chair excitedly, pointed at the big gray and shouted, his voice was a little out of tune.
"Brother Mu, although I don't know how you tamed this gray-maned wolf king, can you bear to cut your love, I will pay 100,000 gold yuan, you can sell it to me!" Kong Lian rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes staring at the big gray deadly, as if he was about to release light.
"100,000 gold yuan?" Mu Qingfeng looked at the big gray in disbelief, he never thought that this gray wolf who looked vicious, but actually followed Chen Yuan every day, like a little brother, was so valuable.
The gold dollar is the currency used in the Nine Heavens Domain, and it is also the most valuable currency other than the extremely precious crystal yuan. Generally speaking, one gold dollar is equal to one hundred silver dollars, one silver dollar is equal to one hundred copper dollars, and the daily living consumption of an ordinary farmer is only the value of one copper dollar, which is converted into one gold dollar, which is enough to support the living expenses of a family for three years. In recent years, life in Linxing Village has become better and better, and the income of the entire village is only nearly 800 gold yuan a year.
