Four years ago, outside the small village at the foot of Muyun Mountain.

Jiang Heng, who looked like he was only about eight years old, looked very thin, and his little hands tightly held his mother's hand, and said innocently, "Mother, are we going to live here in the future?" ”

Qin Nianqiu smiled gently, pulled Xiao Jiang Heng into the entrance of Muyun Village, and said, "Yes, let's settle here and accompany my Heng'er in the future." ”

Xiao Jiangheng's eyes flickered a little, and he looked at the village that was about to become the place where he and his mother lived, and whispered, "Then how long are we going to live this time, and will we move out after a while?" ”

Qin Nianqiu felt a pain in her heart when she heard this, she had taken her children to hide and hide over the years, and often stayed at a place for no more than half a year before leaving. Heng'er is young, and it's time to love to play. followed himself into hiding, and he didn't even make a friend.

Maybe they had good friends, but as they moved around, they often parted ways soon after.

This kid used to cry, but now he is more and more introverted, and at this moment he is just a tentative question full of anticipation.

She glanced at the thick aura shrouded in Muyun Mountain, and smiled at Xiao Jiang Heng, "Not this time, mother promises." ”

Xiao Jiang Heng finally showed a small face, and his eyes were full of light. It's great to finally have a home! For as long as he can remember, he has been constantly changing places with his mother. Although the environment is not bad in the places he has been, he has always felt like duckweed. I don't feel at home at all, and it's not even as good as the inn that my mother said.

Looking at this peaceful village now, he felt such a longing for the first time. This is the home of myself and my mother, and the more I look at it, the more comfortable I feel.

He couldn't wait to take Qin Nianqiu's hand and urged, "Mother, hurry up, where are we living?" ”

Qin Nianqiu looked at the little person who became lively at once, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and his eyes were full of love. said, "Don't worry, you have to discuss it with the village chief, don't forget what you promised your mother before." ”

"Heng'er naturally won't forget! Do not show your wealth, be cautious in your words and deeds. Mother, I'll be obedient, can we go to the village chief? ”

"Let's go, let's go."

Qin Nianqiu pulled Xiao Jiang Heng, and there was a little sadness hidden in the joy between her eyebrows. This place is so remote, and there is a big demon in charge, as long as you take the child carefully, you should be able to avoid the pursuit of that person. She just wants to live quietly with her children, and when Heng'er is older, she will understand.

The mother and son lived in Muyun Village like this, and the house near the foot of the mountain was a little dilapidated, and they could barely live in it after cleaning it up.

Xiao Jiangheng followed Qin Nianqiu to live in a fixed place, but it was the first time he lived in such a dilapidated house. However, he did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest, but felt very comfortable.

Now that he has moved to Muyun Village for more than half a month, in order to be self-sufficient, Qin Nianqiu temporarily set up a small piece of soil in the front yard as a vegetable plot, trying to see if he can grow things. At this moment, Xiao Jiang Heng was squatting next to the vegetable patch and didn't know what she was doing, she looked at Xiao Jiang Heng who kept moving, and called, "Why didn't Heng'er go out to find friends to play?" ”

They live at the foot of the mountain, which, according to the villagers, is very dangerous, and the foot of the mountain is naturally remote and uninhabited. They are the only family at the foot of the mountain, and almost no one passes by here on weekdays, except for woodcutters who cut wood and men who go into the mountains to hunt. Not to mention the half-grown children, who are naturally very strict at home, and are not allowed to play at the foot of the mountain.

In this way, it is impossible to invite the children to play at home, some time ago, Qin Nianqiu also let Xiao Jiang Heng go out to play, and today she is still alone in the yard, she can't help but be a little worried.

Xiao Jiangheng was holding a wooden stick in his hand, poking at the soil in the vegetable field, and said, "I'm so big, I can't play with them." Then he found that there was no answer behind him, so he turned to Qin Nianqiu and smiled excitedly, "Mother, do you think I turned this soil well?" Didn't my mother say that you have to turn over the soil vegetables frequently to grow well, and there will definitely be endless dishes to eat. ”

Qin Nianqiu stepped forward and touched Xiao Jiangheng's head, and said helplessly, "The seed was only sown two days ago, how can you survive this turn?" ”

Xiao Jiang Heng's smile that he had worked hard to pile up suddenly collapsed, and he said angrily, "Mother, I didn't mean to. ”

"Mother knows, Heng'er has something on her mind, say it and listen to it?"

"The child is fine, it's just a little boring."

Xiao Jiangheng was depressed, and some time ago he did go to the village to find children his age to make friends. But watching people chasing and fighting, he flinched again. I don't know how to fit in, and I'm afraid that I will have to leave if I don't stay long. Thinking wildly, he didn't even say hello, so he ran back to the foot of the mountain. In order not to worry his mother, he squatted in the forest not far from his home until the evening before returning home.

Qin Nianqiu saw that Xiao Jiangheng's mood was wrong, and comforted him warmly, "But it's not suitable to come here?" Still don't like the environment? ”

Xiao Jiang Heng shook his head and hurriedly said, "No... Mother, Heng'er likes it very much here. This place is better than the previous places, and there is a very comfortable atmosphere around it. And also! Mother, do you want to see if I've grown taller? ”

He quickly stood up, put Qin Nianqiu's hand on his head and gestured, and then looked at his mother with an expectant expression.

Qin Nianqiu's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly returned to normalcy and said with a smile, "It's grown a lot, it looks like I'm going to make new clothes." ”

She squatted down, held Xiao Jiangheng's arm with both hands, and looked at him at eye level, and said, "Turn around, my mother will measure your size, it seems that you need to prepare more clothes." ”

Xiao Jiangheng turned around obediently, he couldn't see the helplessness on his mother's face. The moment he turned his back, Qin Nianqiu pressed his hand on his thin back. A faint light submerged into Xiao Jiang Heng's body, and Qin Nianqiu also turned pale, covering his mouth and coughing.

"Mother, are you alright?"

"Alright, turn around." Qin Nianqiu bit her lip flap hard, trying to make her lips look less pale.

Xiao Jiang Heng looked up at Qin Nianqiu worriedly, and asked, "Is my mother uncomfortable, but does it matter?" ”

Qin Nianqiu endured the discomfort, rubbed Xiao Jiangheng's head and said, "Mother is fine, but she is a little tired." If Heng'er finds it boring, let's make more friends, after all, we will all have to live here in the future. ”

Xiao Jiangheng hesitated a little and said, "Wait for the child to adapt for a while, mother, can I go to the mountains to play?" ”

In the mountains? Qin Nianqiu quickly glanced at the tall Muyun Mountain, nodded and said, "Yes, but you also heard from the villagers that there is danger on the mountain, and you must not go to Yunding, do you know?" ”

Xiao Jiangheng jumped three feet high, and said excitedly, "The child knows, that mother has a good rest." ”

"Go ahead."

Qin Nianqiu looked at the child who was leaving happily and smiled indifferently, as long as he didn't disturb the big demon on the cloud top, there would be no danger. At this point, she is still relieved of Jiang Heng's child, and she will definitely keep her promise if she has promised her.

She staggered around, and returned to the eaves with a vague step. Leaning weakly against the door frame, the blood in his chest churning. His body has been dilapidated to such a point, and he even used a small seal to back, alas...

Compared with Muyun Mountain, where he lived before, he lacked aura, and he couldn't start if he wanted to absorb aura, so he was nine hundred years old and still so thin.

Now Heng'er's sense of aura is becoming more and more sensitive, and Muyun Mountain's aura is also sufficient, so he will grow up a lot in less than half a month. But this is not necessarily a good thing, Qin Nianqiu's original intention was to hide under the cover of the big demon on Muyun Mountain, if he competed with him for the aura and was discovered by him, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not anger the other party. Out of helplessness, she could only use a seal on Xiao Jiang Heng to restrain the range of his aura absorption.

As long as the child grows up well, she will be successful, but she is too useless and wronged Heng'er.

Xiao Jiang Heng had forgotten his previous troubles in a blink of an eye, and ran to Muyun Mountain happily. It is said that this Muyun Mountain is dangerous, and the more mysterious it is, the more curious it is. However, he promised his mother that he would not cross the clouds, so he would only go around the middle of the mountain.

Muyun Mountain is inaccessible, and there is no way to go up to a hundred meters. However, he can't stop Xiao Jiangheng's figure, he has been more agile than children of the same age since he was a child, and this idea is not difficult for him.

As he approached the top of the clouds, a faint humming sound was heard not far away. Xiao Jiang Heng stepped forward with courage, and when he opened the grass, he saw a half-arm-long snow-white fox cowering in the grass.

The little fox had its eyes closed, and its tail was tucked together like a big fluffy fan. At the moment, he was trembling and looked so pitiful.

Xiao Jiang Heng's eyes showed surprise, he cautiously approached the little fox, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my name is Jiang Heng, will I take you home?" ”

He stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the little fox's fur, and the soft hand felt very good.

When touching the second time, the little white fox opened his misty eyes and looked at Xiao Jiangheng.

Such beautiful eyes, dark fox eyes like jewels and shining blue.

As soon as Xiao Jiangheng saw that it woke up, he laughed stupidly: "You are covered in fur like snow, I will call you Xiaobai, okay?" ”

The little fox blinked, hung his head weakly, closed his eyes and made no sound.

"If you don't object, then you agreed, Xiaobai, I'll take you home, my mother will definitely like you!"

Xiao Jiang Heng was overjoyed, passed under the little fox's armpit with one hand, and wrapped its tail with the other, gently holding it in his arms.

"Let's go! Let's go home! ”

The boy galloped down the hill and held the little fox steadily. After a while, he went down the mountain, and before he entered the house, he shouted loudly, "Mother! Mother! I brought Xiaobai back, shall we keep it? ”

As soon as Qin Nianqiu saw this fox, she knew that it was not an ordinary beast, but she did not object. It's rare to see Heng'er so happy, so she raised it.

Since then, the two of them and a fox have lived together in the dilapidated house at the foot of Muyun Mountain.

Xiao Jiangheng always said to himself to the little fox: "Xiaobai, you have to eat more vegetables to grow strong, you see that I am not a picky eater." ”

The little fox reluctantly swallowed the vegetables fed by Jiang Heng, and his eyes were humanized helpless. Now that it is a fox, it is good to eat meat.
