Nothing was said all night.

In the dream, Xiao Huaijin caught a big and fat rabbit, and when he roasted it until it was golden and oily, a fox suddenly came out. Then he took the roasted rabbit away.

Xiao Huaijin chased after the fox angrily, and caught it exhausted, but the fox suddenly turned his head and opened his mouth to bite Xiao Huaijin.

Xiao Huaijin immediately stepped back, and opened his eyes due to fright. What catches my eye is a kind grandfather.

It turned out to be a dream just now, Xiao Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief. He was scared to death, and thought it was the fox who stole his sugar gourd to rob him of the rabbit again.

"Get up and pack up, we'll leave after breakfast. Nanyutang urged.

"Okay, I'll be up right away. Xiao Huaijin was sleepy and hazy just now, and immediately woke up when she heard this. After all, I'm going into the mountains today!

After a hurried breakfast, Nanyutang took Xiao Huaijin out of the house.

Nanyutang carried a burden on his back, a bow and arrow on his back, and led Nan Huaijin on the road to East Street. Out of the East Street, not far away is the East City Gate.

Xiao Huaijin walked and was full of longing for today.

Walking down the bustling streets, surrounded by lively people. A little fat man suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Huaijin, white and chubby, looking very festive.

"Huai Jin, where are you going with your grandfather? The little fat man took the initiative to greet Xiao Huaijin.

"Chubby, I'm going into the mountains!" Xiao Huaijin responded to his playmate with a smile. The voice was full of excitement.

When Chubby heard this, he was surprised and said, "Really? Then you will bring me something fun when you come back." There was envy in his tone.

"Absolutely, don't worry. Xiao Huaijin agreed. As a best friend, he doesn't forget the gift he gave him.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Chubby, Xiao Huaijin looked around. It's livelier than usual all around. The arrival of the caravan livened up the town. It's like a person who has slept all night finally waking up and feeling refreshed.

And Xiao Huaijin, who was walking on the street, was now yawning and a little sleepy. After all, although he was excited, he felt sleepy after the excitement passed. Waking up a little early in the morning, it is important for small children who are growing their bodies to eat and sleep.

Nanyutang suddenly stopped, and Xiao Huaijin also stopped. In front of him was a place where caravans received their goods. Obviously, Nanyutang is going to buy something here.

"Boss, do you accept the wood carving?" Nanyutang asked familiarly to the wealthy businessmen in front of him.

"Of course. The merchant responded. Then the two began to talk about the price of wood carving.

Xiao Huaijin's attention was completely out of this, and his eyes were deeply attracted by the scene in the distance.

Not far from him, there was a team of guards riding giant wolves.

The sturdy giant wolf, with its satin-like hair and well-developed limbs, all attracted him deeply. The man on the giant wolf was dressed in a black shirt, with bronzed skin on his arms with sleeves and a large knife straddling his waist. It looks imposing.

"If only I could do the same one day. Xiao Huaijin thought silently in her heart. Obviously, such a team has enough appeal to him.

Such a team is the caravan's escort and is responsible for keeping the caravan safe. Although I can see it every year, every time I see it, Xiao Huaijin still feels particularly shocked. He couldn't have imagined in his little head that anyone could tame such a ferocious wolf.

Xiao Huaijin was thinking nonsense, and at this time, Nanyutang had already negotiated the price with the merchant. He took off the burden from his back and took out the wood carving in it and gave it to the merchant.

Receiving the silver money handed by the merchant, Nanyutang took Xiao Huaijin's hand again and set out on the road.

"Grandpa, is there such a fierce wolf in the mountains?" Xiao Huaijin asked curiously as he pointed to the giant wolf team in the distance.

"Of course, there are not only wolves, but also tigers. Of course, Nanyutang had already noticed the giant wolf team, and responded with a smile when he heard Xiao Huaijin's words.

"Then I'm going to raise such a wolf, it's so majestic. Listening to his grandfather's words, Xiao Huaijin said with high morale.

"The wolves in the mountains are impossible to tame, and the mounts of those people are called wind wolves, which are specially cultivated, and they are different from the wild wolves in the mountains. Nanyutang's words ruthlessly extinguished Xiao Huaijin's dream.

Xiao Huaijin hung her little head in frustration, and her heart was full of disappointment. The dream that had just surfaced was shattered, and it was impossible not to be disappointed.

"However, if Huai Jin can enter the gang, there will definitely be a chance to get such a giant wolf. ”

"Really, then I must get into the gang. By the way, grandpa, what is the gang?" Originally, Xiao Huaijin's heart was full of disappointment, and after hearing his grandfather's words, he became active again.

Due to the proximity of Laifu Town to Linxia Mountain, the place is remote. There are no gangs, just hunters who make a living from hunting.

The young workforce in the town left behind, and the rest went out. Most of them have joined gangs. When Nanyutang was young, he also joined the gang, and made some fame with his single-handed sword technique, and later quit the rivers and lakes and returned to Laifu Town to marry a wife and have children.

"You'll find out later. Nanyutang did not directly answer Xiao Huaijin's question.

Hearing his grandfather's irresponsible answer, Xiao Huaijin scratched his little head. Continue to walk forward with Grandpa. If you don't understand something, you don't want to think about it, but you'll know it later anyway.

Nanyutang's plan is to take Xiao Huaijin into the mountains to hone and hone himself, make his temperament calmer, and then send him to participate in the gang's assessment. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of his own dream when he was young.

Gangs are divided into inner and outer churches. The outer hall is only for cultivating thugs, and as long as it is a sturdy young man, almost all of them can be outside the hall. And the inner hall is the one who cultivates the pillars of the gang, as long as he is successful in cultivation, he is at least a small leader, and he is in charge of dozens of people.

Nanyutang joined the outer hall when he was young, not to mention the hard work, not only danger but also status. So when he went back to the town to marry a wife and have children, on the one hand, he was tired of fighting and killing, and on the other hand, he had a low status and no strength.

Originally, he planned to let Xiao Huaijin's father, Nanxingshan, also join the gang, but Nanxingshan was weak when he was a child, often sick, and did not have a good physique. So he gave up, and he didn't teach his son the chaotic mountain knife technique he learned.

If Nanxing Mountain learns the sword technique, he will not die on the battlefield, and he can only say that this is his fate.

Nanyutang didn't want his only grandson to leave him, and their old Nan family had this lone seedling left, in case of a mistake, it would be extinct.

However, in recent years, there have been constant frictions between the Great Xia Kingdom and neighboring countries such as South Korea and Anning Kingdom, and there have been several wars. In recent years, there have been many wars.

If Xiao Huaijin doesn't know anything, one day he will go to the battlefield and be very likely to die on the battlefield like his father Nanxing Mountain.

Therefore, Nanyutang plans to send Xiao Huaijin to the gang, which can be regarded as a rainy day, at least he has a skill. In case Xiao Huaijin gets ahead one day, then their Nan family will be able to carry forward again.

No matter how slow the pace is, there is an end. What's more, the speed of the grandfather and grandson walking was not slow, and they quickly walked out of East Street.

Out of the East City Gate, the grandfather and grandson finally set foot on the road into the mountain.

In the distance, you can see a majestic mountain standing at the end of the road. In the morning light, the mountains appear more majestic.

This big mountain is the Linxia Mountain near Laifu Town. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water. Since Laifu Town is close to Linxia Mountain, it is naturally born by the mountain.

Young adults go into the mountains to hunt, and the prey they hunt can not only be eaten, but also sold to supplement their families. The main purpose of the caravan every year is to buy furs, and the rest, including the wood carvings of Nanyutang, are only incidental.

Nanyutang took Xiao Huaijin to stop and go, and finally reached the entrance of the mountain.

People often say that Wangshan runs a dead horse, so Lin Xiashan looks very close, but in fact, it is still very far away from Laifu Town. Lyfu Town will not be built particularly close to the mountain, otherwise if a wild beast escapes from the mountain, it will also cause trouble for the townspeople.

Another disadvantage of being too close to the mountain is that the traffic is inconvenient and it is easy to get out of robbers.

The Great Xia Kingdom specifically stipulated that it was forbidden to establish towns within ten miles of the mountains. The reason is that the founding emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom was born as a robber, and his hometown was too close to the mountains and his family was too poor, so he became a robber in desperation.

The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, which is probably the truth.

In the spring of 603 of the Great Xia calendar, an ordinary spring, the young Xiao Huaijin followed his grandfather into the mountain, and since then his life has been magnificent, not ordinary. Greatness often begins with insignificance, and that's probably the truth.
