Chapter 103: Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village

A small mountain village, isolated from the world, is hidden in a valley, and the mountain village is surrounded by cliffs about 100 zhang high on three sides, leaving only a space of about two miles in radius. There are hundreds of lives in this small space.

Fortunately, the north side of the mountain village is close to the sea, so that the few hundred families in the mountain village can rely on fishing to survive.

However, the sea is not calm, and it is rough all day long, so don't think about crossing the sea to go out, but you can still fish in the offshore waters.

The second dog is a child in the mountain village. He has no playmates since he was a child, and when he was just twelve years old, he followed his father out to sea to fish, and he was exposed to the sea all the time, and the hard work made the two dogs not look like children at all.

With dark skin and a tall and thin body, even if he is seventeen or eighteen years old, it is estimated that some people will believe him.

Today, Ergouzi and his son did not go out to sea to fish, and his father repaired fishing nets at home, which is a technical job, and Ergouzi can't do it.

So, as before, he went to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to listen to the stories told by the old people, which was the only entertainment in the village. Every time the second dog is free, he will listen to the old people's mouths about the outside world and the past of the village.

Listening to the old people, the mountain village used to be extremely beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it stood on the top of the world.

But I don't know why, at a certain time, the mountains suddenly shook for a while, and the fairy tower disappeared. The peak of the mountain on which the village was located also cracked a gap, and the village slid down the hill to the bottom of the valley.

Nearly 10,000 people died in that accident, and only more than 2,000 survived. But how can the survivors be willing to live a lifetime in the valley?

With the cliff covering the sky on one side and the rough sea on the other, they chose to climb out of the cliff first.

Although they don't know immortal arts, they are also physically strong and comparable to extraordinary people. But when they were about to climb to the mouth of the cliff, they all suddenly fell off the cliff and fell to pieces, without exception.

If you can't get out of the cliff, then cut down trees and build ships. They built a large ship that could hold hundreds of people, and it was so strong that it was believed that it could withstand the waves of the sea and carry them out of this valley that seemed like a prison.

The people set off on the boat full of hope, but they had just sailed far when a shocking wave suddenly appeared on the sea. That incomparably sturdy ship, in the contrast of the huge waves, was not even as good as a fallen leaf.

The waves crashed, and the ship was destroyed and people died.

The last time Ergouzi heard this, he was called home by his father for dinner. He kept thinking about what happened to those people. Has anyone ever gone out of here?

So as soon as he was free, the second dog trotted all the way to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

"Yo! Isn't this a two-dog? A young man in his twenties saw Ergouzi running over in a panic and immediately joked to him.

"Didn't your father let you come? Aren't you afraid of your father's little leather whip? ”

The second dog was slightly stunned, lowered his head and blushed, and shouted the second brother hesitantly, and he couldn't say a complete sentence anymore.

That's right, the father of the second dog really didn't let him come.

Because some people in the mountain village heard about the outside world from these old people, they stopped doing business, and pondered how to get out of the valley all day long.

Just the month before, two more people went to climb the cliff, but they both fell to pieces, and they were still put back in a basin.

So Ergouzi's father didn't dare to let Ergouzi listen to those old people talk nonsense all day long.

But the second dog couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and because the life in the valley was too poor, he carried his father behind his back and secretly ran to the big locust tree to listen to the story.

And the second brother didn't embarrass the second dog too much, just looking at the embarrassed expression of the second dog, he was already very satisfied.

"Ahem, just sit there and listen!" The second brother pretended to cough twice, pointed to a small stone pier behind the big locust tree, and motioned for the second dog to sit there.

Seeing that the second brother was no longer embarrassed by him, the second dog immediately smirked. I don't care where to sit, just sit on the exposed roots of the big locust tree. Holding his head in his hands, he looked at the old men expectantly.

And the second brother saw that the second dog did not listen to him and sat on the stone pier, and his face showed displeasure. I just wanted to reprimand the two dogs again, but I heard what one of the old men said, and I obediently closed my mouth.

"What story would you like to hear today?" An old man looked at Ergouzi kindly and said.

"I still want to hear about the past in the mountain village." The second dog said obediently.

"Good. Last time, I told you about people who couldn't get out. This time, I'll tell you about the people who went out. ”

When the second dog heard this, he immediately became interested, staring at the old man intently and listening to the old man's story.

"In total, more than 2,000 people survived in the mountain village, and 2 to 300 people died climbing the cliff. Almost seven hundred people died on that ship. After two attempts, almost half of them died. The rest of the people don't dare to toss around anymore if they want to go out. But those people have seen the prosperity outside after all, and even if the life in the valley is peaceful, they can't stop those impetuous hearts. ”

After a few years, these people started thinking again. They wanted to build a wooden ladder that would lead directly to the top of the valley. The people of the whole village worked day and night, but in three years, the wooden ladder was almost completed, and it was only a dozen zhang away from the top of the valley. Standing at the top of the wooden ladder, people can even breathe the air outside the valley. ”

At this time, some people couldn't hold back, and it was almost impossible for them to climb the cliff of more than 100 zhang, but more than 100 zhang was not a difficult task. Several people standing at the top of the wooden ladder climbed down the cliff to the top of the valley despite the opposition of the villagers below. Even the wooden ladder has become carbon slag! ”

Ergouzi frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "That's not going out." All dead. ”

The old man smiled and continued, "But one of those people survived, and his name is Liu Qi. ”

"Ahh Ergouzi opened his mouth exaggeratedly, feeling incredible in his heart. Tianlei can even split wooden ladders into carbon slag, how can people be fine?

"Heavenly thunder can kill mortals, and it can also kill immortals. But he couldn't kill Liu Qi. The old man said.

"Why can't you kill it?" The second dog was even more puzzled.

"It's fate." The old man said meaningfully.

"What is life?"

The old man only smiled and didn't answer, so anxious that the two dogs scratched their heads. No matter how the second dog asked, the old man didn't say a word, which made the second dog feel as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat.

At this time, it was getting late, and the old man didn't eat it, and if he didn't go back, his father was afraid that he would be angry, so the second dog had to give up and ran back home.
