Thunder roared, lightning pierced the night sky, illuminated the night outside the window, and the dark and lonely mountains and forests in the empty mountains and valleys swayed in the wind, making people feel desolate and frightened.

There are a few elegant houses on the mountainside, hidden in a sea of pine and bamboo, the night is dark, the scholar Wen'er has fallen asleep in front of the table, and a few smirks from time to time seem to have a good dream.

Under the lamp, a handsome and elegant young man was immersed in reading hard, and when he heard the thunder outside the window, he stood up and stretched his body to push open the window and look out.

The dark night was like ink, and the sound of whimpering and wailing in the mountains and forests was becoming clearer and clearer, which was a sign that the mountain rain was coming.

After the lightning flashed, the thunder grew louder and louder. It seemed to explode outside the window, shaking the entire study.

"Childe!" The scholar was awakened by the thunder of the bombing, and as soon as he slipped away, he hid behind the boy and asked in a trembling voice, "What a thunder!" How can there be such a big thunderstorm this season? Could it be... Was it really said by that old Taoist priest? ”。

"Lin Dao Chief?" Childe frowned, "What did he say?" ”。

"He said there were demons in the mountains! He also said that the bamboo forest was very strange..."The scholar hid behind Childe and guessed, "The thunder is so loud, could it be that Lei Gong is splitting monsters?" ”。

"What's the monster?" Childe reprimanded and explained, "Wind, frost, snow and rain are all laws of nature, but sometimes there are special circumstances for some reason, but the ever-changing is also reasonable, and there is nothing unusual and don't be afraid!" ”。

"Huh? But... But this thunder is also..."Wen'er was still quite scared and hid behind Gongzi and didn't dare to come out, he was afraid that those explosive thunders would accidentally fall on him.

Childe had to explain to him again, "It's normal that you don't usually like to read and don't understand, the so-called: Taoism is natural, don't scare yourself by guessing." In the future, read more books and you will understand...".

"But... But Childe..."The scholar still pointed out the window in horror and asked in a trembling voice, "It seems that someone is crying outside... Is there really someone crying, is there some kind of pattern? ”。

"Huh? Be... Cry? Childe was stunned, and then leaned out to look out the window, and he seemed to hear the strange sound that the scholar had said, which was very similar to a cry.

The voice is very faint and ethereal, as if it is a cry for help, looming and coming and going, and I can't hear it very clearly, so I can't be sure what it is.

In such an empty mountain valley, in such a stormy night, how can anyone call for help?

Perhaps it was the sound of the wind in the mountains and forests that gave people a sensory illusion, and when he tried to listen carefully, the cry suddenly disappeared.

Childe looked up at the sky, and the clouds piled up in the night sky, and the long lightning light tore through the dark sky, slashing down like a long snake.

Such a crazy and strange celestial phenomenon seems to be destined to be an extraordinary night?

"Help... Brother Zichen, save... Help us..."The cry for help came again, much clearer than before. And the cry for help heard was very familiar, and Childe pushed open the door and wanted to go out to save people.

The scholar came over and grabbed the placket of the childe's clothes, "Can't go out!" Lin Daochang said that there are demons, and they must be monsters who are doing it. The old man has told me again and again, and he said...".

"Don't listen to that Taoist priest's nonsense, don't you save yourself when you die?" Childe pushed away the scholar's tugging and searched for him, even if it was just an unrelated passer-by, asking him for help at such a critical moment, he couldn't stand idly by.

The thunder that slashed through the air was lower and louder, and in the bright light of the lightning, he could see a person lying on the bamboo bush on the edge of the cliff, his whole body was on the bamboo bush, and the luxurious silk clothes were already stained with blood, it was his classmate and friend Su Wen.

"Brother Wen... You... Are you okay? Childe tried to nudge him gently, but he didn't know if this seriously injured friend was dead or alive?

"Zichen..."Su Wen, who was dying, grabbed the placket of his son's clothes and prayed in surprise, "Are you really willing... Risking your money to help me? ”。

It was his heart to save people, and he hadn't thought about whether he would take a risk.

"I'll help you up and go back to the study first, and after dawn, I'll let Wen'er go down the mountain to invite you to Langzhong..."

"I'm going to die, leave me alone! Save her... Save... Child! Su Wen staggered and pushed his son away and begged, "It's not a pity for me to die, please save me... Our... Child...".

Child?

Childe hurriedly looked around, except for the green bamboos on the edge of the cliff, there were only two of them, where did the children come from in this barren mountain and wild mountains?

Most likely Su Wen suffered an accident and was seriously injured, maybe he was a hallucination seen in a coma?

"Save her! Zichen, you are a nobleman, as long as you... Ken save her, she... You can live..."Su Wen grabbed the placket of his son and knelt in front of him, "God... There is the virtue of a good life, child... It's innocent... Target! ”。

It is okay to save people, as long as he is able to do it, and that person needs his help, he will never die without help. But where is the 'child' who needs to be saved all the time that Su Wen has been talking about, and he has never seen it?

If it weren't for Su Wen's hallucination, he was joking, but at this time, he made such a terrifying and weird plot just to make a joke, he was really looking for his own death.

A sharp electric light in the valley slashed the sky, and the edge of the cliff was a miserable scene of broken branches and leaves, broken bamboos flying, and the son shook off his sleeves to block the bright light, just trying to find a place to take shelter for a while.

Behind him, a layer of green and cold light suddenly appeared, and the halo directly enveloped his body, reflecting a magnificent color on the edge of the cliff, as if the lightning and thunder were also forced back.

The electric light flickered a few times in the valley, and the thunder only roared depressedly in the clouds, and the **** suddenly stopped, and the whining in the wind gradually stopped.

In a short time, the heavy clouds in the canopy of heaven soon dispersed, and silence returned to the valley, and the clouds opened and the moon rose as bright as ever, and there was no sign of the storm that had just been hit.

What a strange weather, as if it was really a joke!

Gongzi shook his head incredulously, only to remember that there was a seriously injured person who needed to be treated, and just turned around to help Su Wen back to the study, Su Wen had already fallen to the ground, and the bamboo branch he had been covering with his body suddenly shook violently.

"Huh? This... What's going on? "Childe hurriedly wanted to go back again, if he was accidentally injured by a burst bamboo branch, a useless scholar like him might lose his life, how could he save people?

After a few explosions of the green bamboo, all the bamboo branches burst open, and something seemed to roll out of the darkness.

"Raw! Finally... I was born..."Su Wen tore off his robe and wrapped the 'thing' in his arms, and collapsed to the ground with a long sigh of relief.

"What's that?" Seeing his expression, Childe also leaned over to look at it curiously.

In the hazy moonlight, it seemed to be a small baby moving, but it had no breath, and it was not crying like a normal newborn baby, what a strange little thing.

"Zichen, I know that my fate is not long in the future, and I also know that I am self-inflicted, but... The child is innocent, please save her! Su Wen handed over the baby in his arms, knelt down in front of his son and prayed, "The child will be entrusted to Brother Zichen, you can be a slave or a maid, as long as you protect her life from being bullied...".

Childe was a little confused when he heard this, "But this... Whose child is this? I have to know who the parents of my children are. ”。

"Alas!" Su Wen sighed, "We have been classmates for two years and are best friends, but I have no intention of studying to gain fame." And... And I've always been happy with this bush of bamboo, that's why... gave birth to this child. But the shemales have different paths, and today they have also suffered God's curse...".

"You mean... Your child? It's you and... And this clump of bamboo spirit children? Childe just understood, but in a blink of an eye, he almost threw out the little baby he was holding, "What do you mean... Are there really youkai? She... This bamboo spirit... This bamboo spirit is a monster? ”。
