The time of a meal made the two get acquainted with each other a lot.

After dinner, the two went for a walk in the laurel forest.

When a few fawns saw Lu Ying coming, they quietly followed behind Lu Ying.

When Wan Yue saw it, she asked Lu Ying with a smile: "Are these deer raised by you?"

Lu Ying smiled: "It's a long story. It's not raising, but it's not just raising. They are my only friends here. ”

Lu Ying saw that Wanyue was a little curious, so he continued:

"When I was seven or eight years old, one day I saw some newborn fawns in this laurel forest. I saw that they were dying, so I carried them back to the hut and raised them.

A few days later, I saw an adult doe in the Katsura grove.

The deer should have run with its head held high, but the deer was running around with its head down in this laurel forest. I looked at it like it was looking for something.

I tried to get close to it, and it ran away. I knew it was afraid of me, so I stood still.

In a few moments, it was coming towards me from a corner of the woods. It was probably tentative, and it walked very slowly, and I stayed still.

It walked up to me, sniffed me, then paused, and then sniffed me again, and then seemed to cry. I guess it was the mother of the fawns, who smelled her own child in me. ”

When Lu Ying said this, he saw that Wanyue was listening with relish, so he continued:

To prove my suspicions, I walked to the hut on my own.

I didn't try to lead the doe to the hut.

I thought that if it was really the mother of those fawns, and smelled her own baby on me, she would definitely follow me to find the whereabouts of her child.

As I expected, the deer followed me all the way to the hut.

It was winter and it was cold. The fawns were already weak, so I kept them in my bedchamber, which was warmed by a fire.

I went straight into the dormitory, and the deer was not afraid of life, and followed me into the dormitory without hesitation.

He was very happy to see a few fawns, and the fawns were very excited to see him. I watched them reunite with their mother and son.

After less than a stick of incense, the doe suddenly stopped, walked up to me, sniffed me, looked at my face all the time, and then, in an instant, turned around, and ran out of the hut, running very fast. ”

Wanyue looked at Lu Ying while listening, and felt that Lu Ying's eyes were clear and gentle at the moment.

"In that month or so, the deer went back and forth to the hut five or six times.

Yang Po said that there should be someone in the village outside the ten mountains who is in the antler business, and the doe is probably what they kept in captivity.

Probably because the group of enclosed deer lived in great pain, the doe escaped and ran so far to give birth to the fawn here.

Until now, I can't imagine how the pregnant doe managed to escape and run so far.

I envy the fawns and that they are so protected by their mothers.

At that time, I often thought that if my mother was still alive, she would protect me in this way. ”

Lu Ying was a little choked up when he said this, although he was still smiling, his eyes were full of tears.

Wanyue wanted to comfort him, but she felt that she shouldn't interrupt, so she listened silently.

Lu Ying paused and said slowly:

"Then, one morning, I opened the door and saw more than 20 deer standing on the grass in front of the hut, some of them adult deer with fawns on their backs.

They had serious faces, motionless.

Yang Po told me that they probably escaped together and wanted to stay here, so they stood here together and begged for our permission.

I walked over and touched the stag standing at the front.

I was young and not very tall. The deer was the tallest and strongest male deer out of the twenty-odd deer.

The stag bent over his head in order to allow me to touch the top of his head.

I saw that there were sores in the broken antlers on its head, and I looked at the whole herd, and every deer looked tired. I swore in my heart that I would take care of their wounds and sores and let them be carefree here. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ying smiled with satisfaction. Wan Yue saw that he finally smiled, and she was secretly relieved in her heart.

"Later, they stayed here for a long time.

It's suitable for the deer, but also for me and Yang Po.

When Yang Po took me to flee here, she took a fancy to the isolation here.

Although there are villages beyond these ten mountains, the roads in these ten mountains are extremely steep and there are many wild beasts. Even Yang Po, who is strong in martial arts and has few opponents, lost half of her leg when she brought me here.

Listening to Yang Po, it has been spread outside the mountain for thousands of years, saying that this is a place where hundreds of ghosts gather, and everyone who comes here has never returned and died here.

Because of the steepness of the mountain road and the ferocity of the wild beasts, few people come here. Add to that the rumors of ghosts, and no one dares to come here. ”

When Wan Yue heard this, she said in her heart, mortals are really a little stupid, this Yellow Dust Valley is the intersection of the fairy world and the mortal world, where are the monsters? Mortals are so gods and demons.

Wan Yue was distracted in her heart, secretly thinking about this rumor, but she heard Lu Ying laugh and say:

"Over the years, apart from these deer, you are the first guest here. Probably, only a person like a girl can come here over the mountains. ”

Wan Yue smiled: "I was also passing through here, and I was accidentally brought here by a fawn." ”

Lu Yingxiao pointed to a fawn with plum blossoms on its body and said, "That's probably it, right? It's the only deer here that likes to run outside." That's what worries me the most on a daily basis. Although there are a lot of wild beasts here, for some reason, they seem to be a little afraid of people and never go down the mountain. The deer herd is naturally safe here. But it loves to run so much, and I often worry that it will accidentally die on the mountain one day."

With that, Lu Ying shook his head.
