Chapter 39: The First Sight of Snow
After all that time, the two guys finally escaped. After taking a breath, Xiaoman felt a little cold, and the water had a biting feeling, which he had never experienced before. In the past, even if it was colder, several of them could still go down to the river to fish. The feeling now is like being scratched by the cold wind in Black Wind Village.
Looking at the scene of the sky and the earth being white, this should be the legendary snow, and it was the first time he had seen snow when he was so big. It turns out that there are really 24 solar terms outside, as the master said. Climbing onto the shore, the wet water was blowing in the wind, and Xiao Man shivered involuntarily. The heavy snow covered the sky and the earth, so Xiao Man couldn't tell the direction, so he could only choose one direction at random. The more he walked, the colder it became, and it didn't take long for Xiaoman to faint from hunger and cold. It's also his fate, if it weren't for the hunter who wanted to catch something in the winter, he estimated that it would have been cold.
The next day, when Xiaoman woke up, he found himself in a house, the room was very simple, and there was still wind leaking in some places. Luckily, I was able to burn a pot of dry wood to keep the room a little warmer. At this time, a middle-aged uncle walked in, the uncle was very well-proportioned, and he looked like a simple crop man.
"Alas, little one, are you awake, what are you doing out on such a cold day, if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to make something for my lady, you would have gone to see the true God. ”
"Thank you, uncle, for saving your life!
"Isn't this just an ordinary border town? Okay, you're awake, let's get something to eat. ”
After eating with the uncle, Xiao Man enjoyed the hazy and dreamy scene through the window.
"It's really autumn and winter, and everything is off, and the snowflakes are gone. It's so pretty!"
"You're seeing snow for the first time, right?"
"yes. What's wrong, uncle?"
"It's the first time you've seen snow, that's why you think it's beautiful. People like us are annoyed when we see the snow, and every time it snows heavily at this time, the direction is not easy to identify, and we can't do anything, so it's really boring. ”
"By the way, uncle, what is your surname?"
"What is your surname, my surname is Lu, they all call me Lao Lu, you can call me Uncle Lu. ”
"I just heard you say that you are going to hunt to replenish the body of the great god?"
"yes. Your aunt gave birth to a girl for me. Oh, that's a good look! So I'm going to make up for her, and I'm going to meet you two on the way, so I can't lose my two lives. ”
When the uncle mentioned the girl, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. This made Xiaoman very envious, how good it would be if his own family was like them.
"By the way, Uncle Lu, you go down and enter the mountain again, you take us with you, and ensure that you receive a full load. ”
"Okay. By the way, I just heard you muttering two lines of poetry or something, you must have read a book, right?"
"Yes. ”
"That's great, my girl doesn't have a name yet. See if you can give one. ”
"Well said. This should be the first time she has seen snow, the most beautiful thing in her life, not to mention the pure and beautiful thing like snow. I think it's called the first snow. ”
"Oops. First snow. It's so good, if you don't say it, you still have to read, you listen to this name like a big lady. Hahaha good!"
When Xiaoman is chased and killed by others for thousands of miles in the future, he will blame why he was a lowly and cultural person in the first place. It's good to be a little man like this, but he didn't think about the homonym that would appear with the name plus the surname. The uncle excitedly ran to another room and said something to the two of them. As for Xiaoman, of course, they went to play in the snow. A man and a dog were jumping and laughing in the snow, and from time to time they were rolling on the snow. So much so that Uncle Lu looked at them with the eyes of two fools. After that, Xiaoman lived in Uncle Lu's house, because he had been eating and drinking and not giving money, so Xiaoman had to ask when he would enter the mountain.
Finally, after a few days of wind and snow, Uncle Xiao Lu decided to try his luck in the mountains. Uncle Lu always thought that Xiao Man was just an ordinary child and said nothing to let him follow, after all, it would be very dangerous if he was lost. But I can't stand the little man's dead face. In the end, Uncle Lu still decided to take them with him, but they couldn't run around. After walking for a long time, I finally walked to the mountain, and as soon as I arrived in the mountain, Xiaotian found the target, which was a nest of pheasants. As soon as he entered the mountain, he had such a harvest, and Uncle Lu simply laughed, and praised Xiaoman and the two of them as lucky stars. Then Xiaotian's advantages were fully exerted, what hare, roe deer, as long as he smelled it, he could lock on to the target. Xiaotian still felt that it was not enough, so he found a big guy. When Uncle Lu saw a bear weighing more than 1,000 catties, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran. Xiaoman didn't know the situation, so he had to run along, and the two of them stopped after running for a long time.
"Uncle Lu, why are we running?"
"Don't you run and wait to die? It was a bear of nearly 2,000 pounds, and it could smash a person's head with a slap, and the barb on its tongue would be gone after licking half of its face. ”
Xiaoman nodded, thinking that what he was afraid of, it turned out to be this reason. Because he had already gained a lot, Uncle Lu proposed to go back first today. Xiao Man just wanted to agree, and when he saw Xiao Tian looking straight in one direction, he knew what he had found again. Sure enough, Xiaoman quietly touched it and saw an adult wild boar. The size of this wild boar is really big, although it can't catch up with the bear just now, but it's almost the same, and when I see the wild boar Xiaoman, it's like I'm riding a pig. At this time, Uncle Lu also came, and when he saw such a big guy, he was like pulling Xiaoman and leaving quickly, but he found that he couldn't pull Xiaoman.
"Uncle, you go back first, and I will lend the knife to make it. ”
Before Uncle Lu could speak, Xiao Man had already drawn his knife. Uncle Lu really didn't worry about himself, so he had to watch from the side, only to see Xiaoman quietly touch the wild boar's side, and then luck fell with a knife. A knife directly cut off the head of a 1,500-pound wild boar. This scene stunned Uncle Lu behind him, opened his mouth wide and forgot to close it for a long time. Then the boar's neck resembles a fountain. waited until the flow was almost over, and then Xiaoman picked up the pig's head and carried the wild boar on his back and walked back. The two who have gained a lot along the way are chatting.
"Xiaoman, you should be from the mountain, right?"
"I guess so. I was only six years old when I left home, and I was so weak and pitiful at that time! It's been three years now. ”
The two talked all the way to the town. These two guys are carrying a whole body of goods, which really attracts the attention of the big guys.
"Old Lu, you can make a fortune now. ”
"Hey, luck, luck. ”
Under the envious eyes of everyone, the two returned home.
"Lady, we got a lot of good things. Wait, I'll get you some delicious supplements. ”
The woman saw the big boar through the window.
"Xianggong, are you going to do stupid things again? If you have such a big wild boar, how can we live with our mother. ”
"Lady, don't get excited, this is a small man. He is from the mountains, and this should be used as his room and board in our house. ”
"Yes, Aunt Lu. If you don't believe me, I'll give you a bear tomorrow. ”
"No, I believe it. It's all over now. ”
To be honest, this kind of relationship is a little envious, and both of them are thinking about each other. When will I meet such a girl?
"What's the matter? Stinky boy thinks about spring, it's not spring yet. ”
"I said, Lord Flame Soul, can't you be honest?"
"That's boring. ”
That night, Uncle Lu's house was really lively, and the neighbors came to eat a bite of meat. This reminded Xiaoman of his own home, the same simple folk customs. A large pot of fragrant pork was stewed, which attracted everyone's appetite. After the stewed meat, I gave some to Aunt Lu first, and then everyone ate and drank happily. It wasn't until late at night that everyone left, and after everyone left, Xiao Man returned to his house. Compared with the previous cheerful atmosphere, Xiaoman now seems very lonely, if I remember correctly, tomorrow is the triennial Fire Festival. Snowflakes floated outside the window again, and gradually the snowflakes became bigger and bigger, and the beating snowflakes seemed to take Xiaoman's thoughts to infinity away.
At this moment, Xiaoman's house is sitting Xiaoman's parents, brother, and village head.
"Second master, what did you say? You threw Xiaoman out to practice by himself?"
"It's okay, I've been watching him every day. He's not far away from us now, so if you don't feel at ease, you can go and see for yourself. Your cultivation is not a matter of minutes. ”
After thinking about it for a long time, the two of them decided to take a look, and the village chief took out the spirit plate and explained to them that they could only watch it secretly, and they could not meet, otherwise it would not be conducive to the development of Xiaoman. Locked the position, the husband and wife took Ah Man into the air, and in an instant, the figure disappeared at an incredible speed. By the time the three of them arrived, Xiao Man was already asleep. Looking at Xiaoman, the three of them didn't know what to say, after all, this was what the village chief meant. The village chief used to be a relatively strong existence in the village, and it was always a woman who was careful for a long time.
"Xianggong, look at the realm of your son. ”
"It is. ”
"This should be level ten, and he really did it. ”
"Mother, Xiaoman is really level ten?"
"Yes, there must be no mistake. You see, his realm is between the ninth level and the wind, but it is much stronger than your half-step. ”
"That's really good, so Xiaoman should have some capital to travel. It's just that no one is following, and it's always unsettling. ”
"Don't worry. Have you forgotten that your second grandfather watched him every day. I don't believe that someone who was once so strong could really become a bad old man. Okay, let's give him a dream. What do you have to say?"
Then Xiaoman's mother recorded their words and pointed them out with a finger, creating a beautiful dream for Xiaoman. Xiaoman was sleeping and suddenly had a dream, in which he returned home, the house was still the same, and his parents and brothers were there. The friends also came to play with him, and the corners of Xiaoman's mouth were raised in his sleep.
The next day, Xiaoman got up early. Because of yesterday's dream, he is in a much better mood now. After saying hello to Uncle Lu, we had dinner. Xiao Man calculated that the time had almost changed to the time to pray for blessings, and he didn't know if praying for blessings by himself at such a long distance would work. Just when Xiao Man was thinking about this, his hand suddenly opened a hole, and the blood that flowed out rushed away in the direction of home, leaving only the stunned Xiao Man silent for a long time
