Under the peach blossom tree in the distance, there were three figures, as if they were discussing something important.

"Brother Senke, your method sounds a little good!" Xiao Xuqi said softly.

Shui Zhimiao also lowered her voice and agreed, "I think it's pretty good, it's worth a try." ”

After hearing the words of the two, Sen Ke suddenly stood up, walked towards Yu En, and said loudly, "Brother Yu En, Brother Yu En!" Well, I know there's an interesting place that I'd like to invite you to come with us. ”

Yu En was first startled by Sen Ke's sudden appearance, but then he remained calm and didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother Yuen, you can go with us, it's interesting there." Shui Zhimiao saw that Yu En was hesitating, so he persuaded him.

Xiao Xuqi also walked out slowly, and said, "Yes! Brother Yuen, without further ado, let's go now, and when it gets dark, the mountain road will not be easy to walk. ”

"......" Yu En frowned slightly, still not speaking.

This made Sen Ke a little anxious, and he wanted to step forward and drag Yu En away several times, but he held back and waited silently, giving Yu En enough time to think about it.

I don't know how long it took before Yu En spoke, "How to go?" ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, raised their hands in tacit understanding, struck the palms of the other two, and said in unison, "Oh, it worked!" Hahaha......"

This made Yu En dumbfounded, and he stayed on the sidelines, unable to blend into their world.

"Brother Yuen, let's go." Xiao Lu took the lead, surpassed Yu En, walked in the forefront, and beckoned everyone, "By the way, Brother Senke, where are you going first?" ”

"Xiao Xu, if you don't know the direction, don't walk in the forefront!" Shui Zhimiao called Xiao Xu's name directly, in training, he is generally referred to by a code name, everyone naturally did not hear him call Xiao Xuqi like this, this change of nickname made Yu En a little alert, and kept looking back and forth between the two, wanting to understand the mystery, how could he know the secret of that day!

"Good, good. Brother Waterbird, I'll abdicate and make way for Xian. Xiao Xuqi still changed his name without major changes, just removed the word "big", and made a gesture of please, "You are first." ”

"I'm not old, but my mouth is getting poorer and poorer, little shoes." Shui Zhimiao said word by word, and then he walked forward quickly, pinched the muscles of Xiao Xu's big arm, and said with a smile, "Brother Senke, you are more familiar with this place, so you should take the lead!" ”

A group of four people marched mightily to the depths of the mountain.

In the farmhouse, an old couple looked at the group of children from a distance, with extremely complex emotions in their eyes.

"Old man......" The old woman stopped talking.

The old man comforted, "It's okay, they are all good boys, they will know these things sooner or later, let it be fateful now!" ”

"But......" said the old woman, with tears in her eyes, "these children are so miserable, and knowing the truth of the matter will only make them more miserable!" The old woman was a little unbearable, feeling sorry for these kind children, but she had no strength to protect them.

"Children have the right to know all this, they have to grow up, they have to learn to take it all by themselves, they can't hide behind us all the time." The old man analyzed more rationally, "What's more, Ke'er is a strong child, and he will never be defeated by such a small difficulty, and that child is not as weak as it seems on the surface." I think they can all handle it, but Shan Kui is ......"

"Old man, Shan Kui is also a good boy, he will never embarrass them, otherwise he will not keep his promise and guard us here for a full eleven years." The old woman half-squinted, as if recalling the past.

"Forget it, the future is the children's world, and we can't worry about it, let them go, wife, I want to drink the peach blossom wine you brewed." The old man walked into the kitchen and said, "I'll go and order a few side dishes first, and have a good drink." ”

"Hey, no wonder, Ke'er is always afraid that you will steal his wine to drink, and it didn't take long for him to drink, and he was hungry again." The old woman shook her head and muttered and complained, "I don't know, the next time Ke'er comes back, whether she can drink the proud work I brewed or not, you gluttonous old man will steal it all!" ”

……

"It's almost there, you see, right ahead, when I was a kid, I used to go there for adventures!" Like a child, Sen Ke pointed to a cave not far away.

The place that Sen Ke was pointing to was a cave in the shape of a bottle, with the mouth of the bottle facing the four of them, lying horizontally on the flat ground on the top of the mountain. The large rock that resembles a lid half-conceals the mouth of the bottle, but leaves a narrow passage large enough to pass through.

"This is it." Sen Ke took them to the entrance of the cave, a little nostalgic, smiled and touched the stone, half blocked the stone at the entrance of the cave, and said softly, "Long time no see, I'm here to see you!" They are all good brothers I met in the barracks! ”

As a result, the stone that was half-blocked at the entrance of the cave actually began to make a muffled "rumbling" sound, trembling violently, and slowly gave way to a very wide path, as if inviting everyone to enter.

"Brother Senko?" "That's what makes it so peculiar?" ”

Shui Zhimiao questioned, "Brother Senko, you didn't say before that this stone will still move!" ”

Yu En didn't say a word, staring at Sen Ke.

"This stone moves, it's the first time I've seen it, so I don't know what's going on, probably because it's welcoming us!" Sen Ke smiled innocently, "It's terrible and lonely, I've been alone to chat with it for so many years, and today there are suddenly so many people, it may be a little excited." ”

After Sen Ke finished speaking, he strode in, without giving everyone time to ask questions, "Brother Shantu Shantu, I'm coming to see you!" ”

"Oops! It hurts! Senke let out a mournful sound from his feet, "Senke, you did it on purpose, you have to step on it every time you come, are you bullying me for not being able to grow taller?" ”

At this time, Xiao Lu and the others also came in, and when they happened to see this scene, they all held back the urge to laugh.

Shantu, a small grass, about as long as Senke's ankles, is now angry and kicking Senke, but unfortunately, for Senke, it doesn't hurt or itch, and he doesn't even notice its small actions. Moreover, the small head of Shantu, on the green blades of grass, still clearly left footprints, dangling there, as if protesting something.

"They are also my good brothers, this is Brother Jilu......" Sen Ke gushed in the introduction of Shantu.

"Well, I see, Grace Waterfowl! I remembered. Shantu walked around the crowd and looked at the three of them carefully, "Hello! My name is Shantu, as you can see is a small grass, belonging to the weak group of the demon beast clan, so we get along well with the human race, we will not take the initiative to hurt the human race, but if someone wants to hurt us, we will not be caught! Shantu pretended to be fierce, but Sen Ke grabbed him in his hand and played back and forth.

"Shantu was just joking with you, and when I first met him, it scared me so much!" Sen Ke said innocently.

"Hey, Senke, let me down, it's so faceless, I'm a demon beast!" Shantu struggled desperately, but he couldn't get out of Senke's arms.

Shui Zhimiao finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud, "Hahaha...... It's so much fun! ”

"yes, hahaha......" Xiao Zhu also laughed.

Even Yu En, who always has an iceberg face, secretly pursed his lips and smiled on the side.

"Oh, by the way, did you open the door to the rock cave outside today? Did you come to greet us? Sen Ke asked casually.

Shantu lowered his head, raised it, and said with a serious expression, "It's not me, I've been sleeping until you stepped on me, and I woke up, not good, probably adults, you leave quickly, adults, he doesn't like people to be close to his cave, so he sent me to garrison here, saying that before he wakes up, he can't get any close." And I wanted someone to be friends with me, so I secretly opened a crack, hoping that someone would come in. Hurry up, or you won't be able to leave if you want to when the adults wake up. Fast! ”

Shantu pushed Sen Ke, trying to get him to leave quickly.

"Shantu, don't rush them away, they are my honored guests!" There was a deep sound from the depths of the cave, but I couldn't see who was inside.

Shantu whispered, "It's too late, the adults have already woken up, what's the matter?" Shantu circled around the ground a little worriedly.

The people in the cave seemed to be aware of Shantu's consciousness and said, "Shantu, calm down, I don't mean to hurt them, they are all my honored guests, just be guests here with me, relax." Shantu, quickly prepare a seat for them to serve tea. ”

Hearing the order, Shantu calmed down and responded, "Yes, my lord." He knew that this adult, although he looked cold-faced, had a warm heart, did what he said, and was a good man with responsibility. Go ahead and get started.

And Xiao Xuqi and others have been vigilant and have not dared to relax.

At this time, from the deepest part of the cave, a young man came out, only about twenty, his appearance was ordinary, inconspicuous, but there was a charm that people couldn't take their eyes off, "Take it easy, I won't embarrass you, and I won't hurt you, although I belong to the demon beast clan now, but I used to be a human being, and I lived in this world." His eyes were full of mixed emotions, and every time he looked at Senko, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Okay, after talking for so long, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Shankui, and I am the owner of this bottle of Zhongfu Cave, the demon in the bottle." The bottle demon named Shankui suddenly became serious, "Please sit down first!" I think that you can come here today, which is a kind of fate, to share my story with you, and to let this profound memory be buried by the loess. I think it's still too late. Mountain map, come, tea. Shankui's words seem to reveal some hidden meaning, although the current Sen Ke and the others don't understand it very well, but they will know it immediately, but they can't let the giant wheel of fate change its original track.
